Weeks into protests in Iran, President Trump has indicated he could soon intervene in favor of protesters, pressuring a regime already reeling from street uprisings. Why it matters: The stakes are life and death in Iran and escalating. More than 540 protesters have been killed, reports said, and the regime has blocked internet access.Driving the news: As of Sunday, Trump was considering several options to support protests and squeeze the regime, ranging from sanctions to potential military action.Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reached out to White House envoy Steve Witkoff over the weekend, seemingly in an effort to deescalate or buy more time.Context: Protests in Iran were spurred by economic grievances. Some demonstrators now also demand regime change. Excessive sanctions and Iran's reliance on imports have driven up prices and inflation. The Iranian rial plunged to a record low in late December. Death toll risesBy the numbers: Two weeks into the nationwide protests, more than 10,600 people have been arrested and sent to prisons, according to the Human Rights Activist News Agency."Protests have taken place at 585 locations across the country, in 186 cities, spanning all 31 provinces," HRANA said.Threat level: HRANA reported 544 deaths as of Sunday with dozens more under review. The dead included 483 protesters, 47 military or law enforcement, eight children, five non-protesting bystanders and one prosecutor.Zoom out: A UN-mandated human rights mission on Saturday demanded Iran restore internet and phone access immediately and end the violence against protesters. Trump's potential interventionWhat we're watching: On Saturday, Trump said his administration is ready to help protesters.Those remarks went further than previous ones, suggesting the U.S. could intervene regardless of violence from the regime.The other side: The Iranian government, meanwhile, proposed to negotiate a nuclear deal. Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, Iran's parliament speaker, threatened to retaliate against the U.S. if Trump intervened. He said the U.S. military and Israel would be deemed "legitimate targets" for strikes. Flashback: On Jan. 2, Trump said the U.S. would intervene in Iran if the government violently killed protesters.

For a number of very obvious reasons, we donβt want to roll back the clock to early 2020. No thank you. But if there was a feel-good lockdown story, it was the perfectly timed arrival of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which allowed friends who could no longer meet up IRL to do so virtually on their carefully pruned islands. The game will almost certainly never be as popular as it was back then again, but Nintendo is hoping a good chunk of lapsed islanders will return for its latest DLC drop, which has arrived a day earlier than planned. As spotted by Eurogamer, the free Animal Crossing: New Horizons 3.0 update is available to download now and, as previously announced, brings a host of new features to the cozy life sim, including a brand new resort hotel on the pier that you can help decorate.
There are new items and quality-of-life additions too, as well as the ability to build fresh islands with your friends and family in the βSlumber Islandβ dream world. All you need to do is go to the New Horizons game icon on your Switchβs home screen and download the software update. Nintendo also announced last year that New Horizons would be coming to Switch 2 on January 15, improving the visuals, unlocking mouse controls and GameChat functionality, and expanding the online multiplayer capacity from eight players to 12. As of now, the Switch 2 edition of the game remains locked, so youβll be stuck with the standard Switch version until tomorrow. Upgrading costs $5, while first-time players can purchase the Switch 2 version of Animal Crossing: New Horizons for $65.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/nintendo/the-latest-animal-crossing-new-horizons-expansion-has-arrived-earlier-than-expected-160739040.html?src=rss

Star Trek is in a weird place right now. Less than three years ago we were living in a golden age with five shows on the air, all with different styles and intended audiences.Β But the universe rapidly contracted, with Picard ending while four other shows were cut short. Strange New Worlds still has another two seasons left, sure, but even that final season got truncated. As it stands, thereβs only one project with a firm future right now, and thatβs a brand-new show, Starfleet Academy, premiering January 15 on Paramount+.How this show is received could very well determine the future of Star Trek. Thatβs a lot to put on it, but thereβs something very appropriate given the subject matter. Starfleet Academy takes place in the 32nd century, 900 years after the adventures of James T. Kirk and company, and it takes place at the titular academy, meaning its principal cast is a collection of teens representing the next generation of Starfleet officers. That focus on a younger cadre has led to fans online derisively calling the series βCW Trekβ without seeing a single episode.Β As Starfleet Academy is technically a Discovery spinoff, it picks up some of that seriesβ traits. The sleek, shiny sets are back, as well as a few plot threads originally set up in Discovery. The most notable is the collapse of the United Federation of Planets and the rebuilding of both the Federation and Starfleet. In fact, the series picks up on that as early as its second episode, with the Academy hosting a delegation from a once stalwart Federation planet thatβs now gone isolationist.Β Scenes from Star Trek: Starfleet AcademyJohn Medland/Paramount+While many complaints about the series have focused on how what fans wanted was an academy show set during the 24th century (the time of The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, et al.), this particular episode plot works precisely because of the distant future in which it is set. In a fully-functioning galactic democracy like the United Federation of Planets, thereβs no logical reason for the average 18-year-old college freshman to be involved in interplanetary diplomacy. But in the 32nd century, the Federation is a lot scrappier and the individuals involved might be asked to wear many hats. Itβs a lot like an early-stage tech startup.The setting also lets the show be a little more creative with its cast: where TNG featured the first Klingon in Starfleet (Worf), 900 years of progress have created a Starfleet where no one bats an eye when a Klingon cadet like Jay-Den Kraag (played by Karim DianΓ©) shows up to study science. Thereβs also a holographic cadet, Sam, who is the first of her kind to attend the academy (and sheβs super excited to do so). A few new species are present as well: Darem Reymi (George Hawkins) is a Khionian and Genesis Lythe (Bella Shepard) is a Dar-Sha, both aliens making their debut in the Star Trek universe.The cast of Star Trek: Starfleet AcademyJohn Medland/Paramount+However, the show does still lean on some Trek stalwarts, and itβs these characters that have gotten the most chatter from fans. Mary Weisman as Sylvia Tilly was originally slated for the cast, and there was even a backdoor pilot-esque episode of Discovery to tie her in to the new show, but sheβs no longer a regular and is nowhere to be seen in the first two episodes. Instead, we have Jett Reno (played by the wonderful Tig Notaro) as supporting cast, and Admiral Vance (Oded Fehr) appearing in a few episodes. And old school fans have been abuzz by the inclusion of The Doctor, who first appeared on Voyager (and later Prodigy). As a hologram, heβs practically immortal so his presence doesnβt need any convoluted explanation, and after 800 years heβs still the same gregarious blowhard (and itβs delightful).Theyβre joined by new characters like Lara Thok, a part Klingon, part JemβHadar security officer and a Lanthanite chancellor, Nahla Ake, played by Academy Award Winner Holly Hunter. And Hunter isnβt even the only Oscar winner on the cast, with a major villain, Nus Braka, being portrayed by Paul Giamatti.Itβs a stellar cast, and the showβs sets certainly rise up to meet the challenge. Like in the shows of old, a good portion of Starfleet Academy is clearly shot on location, though not in the familiar water reclamation plant that was used back during the TNG and DS9 era. This time itβs all being shot in Ontario, with the outdoor scenes in particular being filmed in Waterloo. Regardless of where itβs shot, it looks enough like sunny California to work.Β Scenes from Star Trek: Starfleet AcademyJohn Medland/Paramount+The indoor scenes, shot at Torontoβs Pinewood Studios, have a pleasant convention center quality to them, with lots of wide hallways and large windows in contrast to Discoveryβs cramped ship corridors. The hallways are full of students and teachers going to and fro, including some from species that would normally be off-limits to a show with a limited budget. But here robots and strange aliens roam freely in the background. The CGI canβt have been cheap.And thatβs ultimately my biggest question about Starfleet Academy. Exactly how much is this costing Paramount? So much of it is being shot on real sets instead of green screens, established actors like Hunter and Giamatti couldnβt have been cheap, and plentiful CG points to a robust special effects budget. Though Paramount doesnβt release official numbers, estimates have put an average episode of Strange New Worlds at $10 million, so it figures that Starfleet Academy is probably more than that, with some online estimates as high as $20 million per episode.Β With 10 episodes scheduled, thatβs on par with a major motion picture budget but without the promise of blockbuster box office returns. No wonder Paramount has been doing so much cost-cutting, which includes axing every other Star Trek show.That said, Starfleet Academy is carrying a lot on its shoulders. Just as the success or failure of its class of Starfleet cadets will determine the future of Starfleet and the Federation, the success of the show may even affect whether this era of Star Trek continues. As a Star Trek fan, this can be nerve-wracking; no one wants the franchise to go dormant again. But Starfleet Academy has so far shown itself to be up to the challenge.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/star-trek-starfleet-academy-deftly-balances-teen-drama-with-intergalactic-intrigue-170253808.html?src=rss

In 1934 and 1978, Fifaβs big event was given over to authoritarian aims. Thereβs no more doubt that 2026 will be the sameBy 1934, it was entirely evident what Benito Mussolini was up to. Italyβs dictator had already consolidated power, colonized Libya and annexed the city of Rijeka. He nevertheless got to stage the second-ever World Cup, managing it with a heavy hand and even supplanting the Jules Rimet trophy with a far larger one. Hosting and winning that World Cup didnβt sate his expansionist appetites. By the end of the decade, Mussolini would take Ethiopia, annex Albania and back Francisco Franco in the Spanish civil war.It was equally well established in 1978 in Argentina that General Jorge RafaΓ©l Videlaβs military junta, which had taken over two years earlier, was maintaining its grip on power through systematic detention, torture and murder. Still, protestations from other nations were ignored and the World Cup kicked off.Leander Schaerlaeckensβ book on the United States menβs national soccer team, The Long Game, is out on May 12.

arXiv:2601.03690v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Smart grids are increasingly exposed to sophisticated cyber threats due to their reliance on interconnected communication networks, as demonstrated by real world incidents such as the cyberattacks on the Ukrainian power grid. In IEC61850 based smart substations, the Manufacturing Message Specification protocol operates over TCP to facilitate communication between SCADA systems and field devices such as Intelligent Electronic Devices and Programmable Logic Controllers. Although MMS enables efficient monitoring and control, it can be exploited by adversaries to generate legitimate looking packets for reconnaissance, unauthorized state reading, and malicious command injection, thereby disrupting grid operations. In this work, we propose a fully automated attack detection and prevention framework for IEC61850 compliant smart substations to counter remote cyberattacks that manipulate process states through compromised PLCs and IEDs. A detailed analysis of the MMS protocol is presented, and critical MMS field value pairs are extracted during both normal SCADA operation and active attack conditions. The proposed framework is validated using seven datasets comprising benign operational scenarios and multiple attack instances, including IEC61850Bean based attacks and script driven attacks leveraging the libiec61850 library. Our approach accurately identifies attack signature carrying MMS packets that attempt to disrupt circuit breaker status, specifically targeting the smart home zone IED and PLC of the EPIC testbed. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework in precisely detecting malicious MMS traffic and enhancing the cyber resilience of IEC61850 based smart grid environments.
