The African Union said Tuesday it had suspended Niger until civilian rule in the country is restored and would assess the implications of any armed intervention in the troubled Sahel nation. The Peace and Security Council “requests the AU Commission to undertake an assessment of the economic, social and security implications of deploying a standby force in Niger and report back to Council,” the bloc said, following strong differences on the matter. Army officers toppled President Mohamed Bazoum on July 26, prompting the West African regional bloc ECOWAS to threaten to use force to reinstate him. ECOWAS — the Economic Community of West African States — agreed to activate a “standby force” as a last resort to restore democracy in Niger. He said he was ready to act, even as he continued to harbor hopes of a diplomatic solution. Last week, the AU held a crisis meeting amid divergent views within the bloc on any military intervention. The coup has heightened international concern for the Sa

The world's largest battery maker has launched what it claims is the first 'super-fast charging' battery capable of delivering 400 kilometers (249 miles) of range on a single charge in just 10 minutes. China Amperex Contemporary Technology Ltd (CATL) says its new lithium-ion battery will usher in a new era for electric cars and eliminate owners' anxiety.  When fully charged, the battery is charged enough to travel more than 700 km without recharging, about 60% higher than an average electric vehicle in 2023.   CATL says the increase in battery capacity and charging time is achieved by an "all-new superconducting electrolyte formulation" that improves conductivity. “The future of EV battery technology must be firmly held at the global technological frontier, along with economic benefits,” said Dr. Wu Kai, Chief Scientist at CATL.   As electric vehicle consumers move from pioneer to mainstream, we need to make innovative technology accessible to everyone and all

(coup leaders/Niger flag) Military junta threatens President if military experience any form of attack Niger's junta threatened a top US diplomat that if surrounding countries tried military action to restore deposed President Mohamed Bazoum's power, they would kill him. During her visit to the country this week, representatives of the junta informed US Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland of the danger against Bazoum, a Western military official said on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter. An official in the United States verified that account, saying on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. Bazoum, who was deposed on July 26, claims to be held hostage at his home. The regional ECOWAS alliance announced on Thursday. It has put in place military intervention to restore democracy but has not disclosed actual location and time of strategy. West African Union heads of state met Thursday in Nigeria's capit

After 40 days and 2 million yen ($15,700 USD) later, Toco's costume was complete, allowing him to start the training process to act like a real dog, which he has documented on his YouTube channel. Toco claims that he used to dream of turning into an animal and that he likes "doing things that only dogs do." Toco still worries about people's perception of him despite having realized his lifelong dream. I don't often tell my friends because I'm worried they'll think I'm strange.

  OpenAi has introduced new "custom instructions" for ChatGPT that are intended to identify you and your preferences. According to the tool's description, users can "share anything you'd like ChatGPT to take into account in its response." That might entail always letting the chatbot know at the beginning of a conversation that you are a teacher of young children, for example, so that it can tailor its responses. Or a user might specify in a particular language that they are a computer programmer so that it knows how to format its responses. They could also be instructions given directly to the chatbot itself. Users could choose to set a word limit or specify the tone they want it to use when responding. A number of cautions about the use of the data itself are included with the new tool. These instructions may be provided to plug-in developers, for example, and will also be used by OpenAI to collect data.  The tool has some limitations designed to prevent us

(Getty images) Meta (Mark zuckerberg) has given feedback to Elon Musk’s lawsuit threat against his new platform Threads which states that none of the staff working on the app are former Twitter employees. Apparently on Thursday, Twitter threatened Meta with legal action over its new social media app Threads, claiming it to be a “copycat” platform built by hiring former Twitter staffs. Since  its emergence, Meta’s text-based platform built in partnership with Instagram, has stacked up more than tenths of millions signups, seemingly becoming the most rapidly downloaded app ever and the most popular Twitter alternative yet. Hours into its launch, however, Twitter attorney (Alex Spiro) sent a letter to Meta chief (Mark Zuckerberg) contradicting that his company was guilty of “systematic, intentional, and illegal misappropriation of Twitter’s marketing skills and other intellectual property”, according to Semafor. “ Twitter intends ardently implenting its intellectual property rights, and d

(Jantakareporter) Recently, a court in India sentenced 10 men to a decade each in prison for lynching a Muslim man, who was tortured to death after being forced to chant Hindu religious slogans four years ago. The young man by name Tabrez Ansari, 24 years, was tied to an electricity pole and tortured in an interval of 12 hours by a mob in June 2019 after being accused of breaking into a house and stealing a motorbike in the eastern state of Jharkhand. Videos from the assault showed Ansari being forced to chant 'Jai Shri Ram' (hail Lord Ram) and ‘Jai Hanuman’ (hail Hanuman) – religious slogans appropriated by Hindu hardliners – while he pleaded for his life. Despite Ansari chanting the slogan, the mob kept assaulting him through the night. The local police arrested Ansari the next day for theft. He complained of nausea and chest pain on 22 June and was transferred to a hospital where he surrendered to death due to his injuries. (photo credit: bbc) The video of the assault trigge
