Poland prime minister floats migration referendum with grim video

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:49:26 GMT

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki proposed holding a referendum asking citizens whether they support the arrival of “thousands of illegal migrants coming from the Middle East and Africa” under the European Union’s relocation policy.In a video posted on social networks on Sunday, Morawiecki floated the idea of holding a poll, to be conducted along with the parliamentary election scheduled for October 15. Morawiecki’s ruling Law and Justice Party is well-known for its extremely restrictive position on immigration from Muslim and African countries — while being accepting of refugees from European countries such as Ukraine. Morawiecki’s video paints a grim scenario in case more migrants were allowed into Poland, showing images of burning cars, street violence and a black man licking a knife. The full question Morawiecki said Poles should answer in the proposed referendum is: “Do you support the admission of thousands of illegal immigrants from the Middle E...

A Russian warship fired warning shots at a merchant ship moving across the southwestern Black Sea on Sunday, according to the Ministry of Defense in Moscow.Around 6:40 a.m. Moscow time on Sunday, the Russian patrol boat Vasily Bykov fired a warning with “automatic small arms” on the Palau-flagged cargo vessel Sukru Okan due to the ship’s failure to reply to a request to carry out an inspection, according to a statement published on ministry’s website. The ministry said that the ship was heading toward the port of Izmail in Ukraine. The ship stopped and allowed for a Russian “inspection team” to board and carry out checks, before proceeding to its destination, the ministry said. According to shipping data platform Vessel Finder, the Sukru Okan is currently en route for the Romanian port of Sulina.The incident comes weeks after Russia pulled out of the U.N.-backed grain deal that allowed Ukraine to export wheat and other produce via the Black Sea.

Don’t expect quick fixes in ‘red-teaming’ of AI models. Security was an afterthought

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:49:26 GMT

BOSTON (AP) — White House officials concerned by AI chatbots’ potential for societal harm and the Silicon Valley powerhouses rushing them to market are heavily invested in a three-day competition ending Sunday at the DefCon hacker convention in Las Vegas.Some 3,500 competitors have tapped on laptops seeking to expose flaws in eight leading large-language models representative of technology’s next big thing. But don’t expect quick results from this first-ever independent “red-teaming” of multiple models.Findings won’t be made public until about February. And even then, fixing flaws in these digital constructs — whose inner workings are neither wholly trustworthy nor fully fathomed even by their creators — will take time and millions of dollars.Current AI models are simply too unwieldy, brittle and malleable, academic and corporate research shows. Security was an afterthought in their training as data scientists amassed breathtaki...

As death toll from Maui wildfire reaches 93, effort to find and identify the dead is just beginning

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:49:26 GMT

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — As the death toll from a wildfire that razed a historic Maui town climbed to 93, authorities warned that the effort to find and identify the dead was still in its early stages. The blaze is already the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century.Crews with cadaver dogs have covered just 3% of the search area, Maui Police Chief John Pelletier said Saturday.“We’ve got an area that we have to contain that is at least 5 square miles, and it is full of our loved ones,” he said, noting that the number of dead is likely to grow and “none of us really know the size of it yet.”He spoke as federal emergency workers picked through the ashen moonscape left by the fire that razed the centuries-old town of Lahaina. Teams marked the ruins of homes with a bright orange “X” to indicate an initial search, and “HR” when they found human remains.Pelletier said identifying the dead is challenging because “we pick up the remains and they fall apart.” The remains have been ...

Migrants from dozens of boats reach tiny Italian isles; charity ship rescues hundreds of people

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:49:26 GMT

ROME (AP) — Migrants who set out in dozens of flimsy boats launched by smugglers on Tunisian shores have disembarked on three tiny Italian islands in a span of two days, officials said. Separately, a charity vessel carried out 15 rescue operations and the Italian Coast Guard on Sunday recovered a body off the western coast of Sicily from a shipwreck.Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni has repeatedly encouraged Tunisia to put an end to the near daily launching of multiple vessels from its ports. But in the last 10 days there has been a spate of boats capsized, shipwrecked or otherwise in distress. Tens of thousands of migrants have set out this year from northern African shores to try reach Europe. Last week, a merchant ship took aboard four survivors who were adrift in a smugglers’ engineless boat, They recounted how they had been tossed into the sea when towering waves knocked over their vessel and that 41 fellow passengers didn’t survive, a tragedy Pope Francis spoke of whe...

Younger Canadians favour changing ‘O Canada’ lyrics: poll

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:49:26 GMT

A new poll finds younger Canadians are in favour of additional changes to the lyrics to “O Canada”.The Research Co. poll shows 55 per cent of English-speaking Canadians between the ages of 18 and 34 agree with changing the first line of the national anthem from “Our home and native land” to “Our home on native land” while only 28 per cent of those over the age of 55 would approve of the change. Overall, only 41 per cent would approve of the change while 44 per cent disagree with the proposed modification of the lyrics. Last month, market research firm Leger found 33 per cent of those polled supported changing the anthem, with 48 per cent opposed. Again, support for the change was higher among younger Canadians (42 per cent).That poll was in response to a proposed resolution put forward by Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie that would see the lyric changed to “O Canada! Our home on native land.” Juno-winning R&B singer Jully Black sparked the de...
