New US centre to promote safe drone use <\/em><\/p>\n

The Police Foundation in the US has established a Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems in Public Safety<\/a>, to help law enforcement agencies make informed decisions about using small unmanned aircraft systems<\/a> (sUAS) and help citizens understand how and why those decisions are made. sUAS can increase operational efficiency and public safety, but their adoption has been hampered by privacy concerns. This infographic<\/a> summarises the issues well.<\/p>\n

Hacker inmates<\/em><\/p>\n

Inmates across several correctional institutions in Idaho exploited a flaw in JPay tablets<\/a> to amass a total of US$225,000 in credits, which they added to their accounts. The tablets enable inmates to send emails and download music, books and games. The service is expensive<\/a>\u2014one email costs 47 cents, while the hourly wage for prisoners with jobs is between 10 and 90 cents. The inmates were issued with disciplinary reports and their downloads have been suspended until the money is repaid.<\/p>\n

El Salvador\u2019s supreme court struggles<\/em><\/p>\n

A third of the seats in El Salvador\u2019s supreme court are empty<\/a> due to a dispute over nominees. Politicians disagree on the candidates, a number of whom have \u2018questionable credentials regarding anti-corruption matters\u2019, and can\u2019t reach the necessary two-thirds majority in the country\u2019s legislative assembly. Some of the nominating members of congress allegedly have dubious pasts themselves. The country faces serious corruption issues, ranking 112th of 180 countries in Transparency\u2019s corruption perceptions index<\/a>.<\/p>\n

EU getting serious about terror-related content<\/em><\/p>\n

The European Union is taking a tough stance on terrorism by threatening to fine both big and small tech companies, including Google, Twitter and Facebook<\/a>, if they fail to take down terrorist-related material from their platforms. The proposed legislation hasn\u2019t been made public, but it\u2019s likely to be based on the guidance on illegal internet content<\/a> that the EU issued in March.<\/p>\n

Updates to US terror watch list <\/em><\/p>\n

The US has added three Pakistanis<\/a> to its list of \u2018specially designated global terrorists\u2019 for their involvement with a designated terrorist organisation, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Abdul Rehman al-Dakhil<\/a> was accused of being an \u2018operational leader\u2019 for the group, and Hameed ul-Hassan and Abdul Jabbar<\/a> were accused of being \u2018financial facilitators\u2019.<\/p>\n

Indonesia cracks down on militants <\/em><\/p>\n

An Indonesian court has banned the homegrown terrorist organisation Jamaah Ansharut Daulah,<\/a> citing its affiliation with Islamic State and its involvement in a series of terror attacks. The judge fined the group<\/a> and labelled it a \u2018forbidden organisation\u2019. The ruling also allows the authorities to pursue, arrest and prosecute those with suspected links to the organisation.<\/p>\n

(Un)documenting citizenship in India and Bahrain<\/em><\/p>\n

Approximately four million people<\/a> in Assam state have been excluded from the final draft of India\u2019s National Register of Citizens. The list intends to identify undocumented immigrants who fled to Assam during the Bangladesh\u2013Pakistan War. While India\u2019s interior minister says affected people can appeal at the country\u2019s foreigners\u2019 tribunals, the register could render people effectively stateless\u2014a status prohibited under international law. Similar developments are happening across the world. For example, Human Rights Watch reported<\/a> that Bahrain has revoked the citizenship of at least 738 people since 2012\u2014232 in this year alone.<\/p>\n

Italian rescue may have breached international law<\/em><\/p>\n

The UN says an Italian towboat which rescued more than 100 migrants<\/a> and returned them to Libya may have breached international law. Italy\u2019s interior minister says the Italian coast guard wasn\u2019t involved in the rescue and it occurred in Libyan waters. But according to an Italian MP and Proactiva<\/a>, a Spanish charity, it took place in international waters. If a UN investigation concludes that the rescue took place in international waters, it would mean Italy violated international law by taking the migrants back to a place in which their lives are threatened.<\/p>\n

Aid workers targeted in South Sudan riots<\/em><\/p>\n

Humanitarian aid workers were attacked<\/a> in Bunj in South Sudan by rioters who were unhappy with the agencies\u2019 employment of staff from outside the local area. UNMISS peacekeepers were deployed after rioters entered the UN\u2019s humanitarian compound and looted its offices and residence. Two UNHCR staff members were injured<\/a>. The rioters also targeted other aid groups in the area. In response, several NGOs evacuated staff from their local offices. The UN refugee agency plans to relocate some of its staff to the capital Juba while it assesses the situation. UN authorities and the South Sudan NGO forum have condemned<\/a> the attacks.<\/p>\n

Hospital turns into aquarium<\/em><\/p>\n

Fish were seen swimming in a hospital<\/a> in the Indian city of Patna when it was flooded following heavy rain. Knee-deep water flowed into several wards, corridors and even intensive care units in one of the city\u2019s largest hospitals. Medical staff continued to provide care to patients despite the trying conditions and malfunctioning electrical equipment. The hospital is visited by 2,000 people each day. Local politicians have blamed each other for the lack of proper drainage in the area. India continues to face a massive health and sanitation problem<\/a>, particularly in states such as Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
