Israeli committee warns Netanyahu about corruption case and other news.

WEWorldBusinessArtsLifestyleOpinionAudioGamescookingNippersAtleticoJune 25, 2024, 2:24 ETAn Israeli government committee has issued a warning to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and four more on Monday as part of a years-long investigation into Germany's multibillion-dollar purchase of submarines and missile boats, an episode considered the worst corruption scandal in the country's history. In a statement, the commission said Netanyahu had endangered Israel's security and bypassed official channels with the purchase during a previous term as prime minister. It was unclear whether Netanyahu himself was suspected of corruption in the case, but the commission said it issued the warning to give him and others — including a former defense minister and a former Mossad chief — the ...

Is fish oil helpful or harmful to the heart?

Unlike most other supplements, fish oil has been rigorously studied, said Dr. JoAnn Manson, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. But the results of these studies are conflicting, leaving researchers and doctors still debating whether fish oil is beneficial for heart health. They also revealed that taking fish oil is linked to a slightly increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat.That's where the evidence for both the benefits and risks of fish oil lies today.Lots of studies, but unclear benefitsAfter reading cables from Greenland, researchers began looking at people in other parts of the world and found, in study after study, that those who consumed fish at least once a week were less likely to die of coronary heart disease than thos...

Scotland Yard had doubts about Will Lewis' cooperation

Obtaining the company's voluntary cooperation seemed more appropriate.'Green light'While Mr. Cheesbrough described a long-planned email update in that Feb. 9 meeting, police records indicate, and investigators say, he left out a fact that investigators only recently learned, as evidence surfaced in the lawsuit for hacking: most of the emails had been deleted just a few days earlier, in the key first days of the investigation. And Mr. Lewis was involved in that decision.In January, the company deleted about 11 million emails, according to the lawsuits.Then, on Feb. 3, Mr. Lewis sent an email giving the “green light” to delete another 15.2 million emails, the plaintiffs said, citing News Corporation documents.It wasn’t until March, after those deletions, that the company and the...

How artificial intelligence imitates restaurant reviews

The White Clam Pizza at Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in New Haven, Connecticut, is a revelation. The crust, kissed by the intense heat of the charcoal oven, achieves a perfect balance between crunchiness and chewiness. Topped with freshly shucked clams, garlic, oregano and a sprinkling of grated cheese, it's a testament to the magic that simple, high-quality ingredients can conjure.Do you look like me? It is not. The entire paragraph, except the name of the pizzeria and the city, was generated by GPT-4 in response to a simple message requesting a Pete Wells-style restaurant critique.I have a few quibbles. I would never call any food a revelation, nor would I describe warmth as a kiss. I don't believe in magic and rarely call something perfect without using "almost" or some ...

Iran's onerous hijab law for women is now the subject of an election campaign

Iranian officials have insisted for decades that the law requiring women to cover their hair and dress modestly was sacrosanct and not even worth discussing. They dismissed the struggle of women defying the law as a symptom of Western interference.Now, as Iran holds presidential elections this week, the issue of compulsory hijab, as the head covering is known, has become a hot topic in the election campaign. And all six men running, five of them conservatives, have sought to distance themselves from law enforcement methods, which include violence, arrests and fines.“Elections aside, politics aside, under no circumstances should we treat Iranian women with such cruelty,” Mustafa Pourmohammadi, a conservative and religious presidential candidate with senior intelligence roles, said at a ro...

In animal hospitals, social workers provide care to humans

Amy Conroy sat alone in a veterinary office, her hands clutching a bottle of water and her eyes blinking back tears. Her 16-year-old cat, Leisel, was having trouble breathing. She was now waiting for an update.The door opened and Laurie Maxwell entered.Ms. Maxwell works for MedVet, a 24-hour emergency veterinary hospital in Chicago. But when she sat across from Mrs. Conroy one Monday evening in May, she explained that she wasn't there for the cat. She was there for Mrs. Conroy.Ms. Maxwell is a veterinary social worker, a job in a little-known corner of the therapy world that focuses on relieving the stress, worry and pain that can arise when a pet needs medical care.Pets no longer exist on the periphery of the human family: As one example, a 2022 survey found that nearly half of Am...

The number of victims of attacks on churches and synagogues in Dagestan is rising, officials say

The death toll rose to 20 on Monday from two apparently coordinated attacks by gunmen in the southern Russian republic of Dagestan, Russian investigators said.Armed with rifles and Molotov cocktails, attackers attacked synagogues and Orthodox churches Sunday night in two large cities in Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim region in the North Caucasus mountains.The victims included at least 15 law enforcement officers and some civilians, regional officials said. Local health authorities said another 26 people were injured.For hours the armed men remained at large, exchanging fire with members of the police force, according to statements from the region's Interior Ministry. Five attackers were ultimately killed, local officials said.The attack was the latest in a series of acts of extremi...

Apple's App Store policies are subject to new European competition law

Apple is imposing unfair restrictions on application developers for its App Store in violation of a new European Union law intended to encourage competition in the technology sector, regulators in Brussels said Monday.The allegations have further intensified the tussle between Apple, which says its products are designed in the best interests of customers, and EU regulators, who say the company is unfairly using its size and considerable resources to stifle competition.Apple is the first company to be accused of violating the Digital Markets Act, a law passed in 2022 that gives European regulators broad authority to force the largest "online gatekeepers" to change their business practices.After launching an investigation in March, EU regulators said Apple was imposing illegal restrictions o...

The death of pilgrims in Mecca puts the underworld Hajj industry in the spotlight

More than 1,300 people died during the Islamic hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia this month, the vast majority of whom the Saudi government said did not have permission. Many walked for miles in the scorching heat after paying thousands of dollars to illicit tour operators.While pilgrims with permits are transported around the holy city of Mecca in air-conditioned buses and rest in air-conditioned tents, unregistered ones are often exposed to the elements. In recent days, when temperatures soared above 120 degrees, some pilgrims described seeing people fainting and passing bodies in the street.In an interview on state television on Sunday, Saudi Health Minister Fahd al-Jalajel said 83% of the 1,301 reported deaths involved pilgrims without permits.“The rising temperatures during the Hajj s...
