WHEN ARE THE 500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL IN THE SPRING TIME.(GET READY ISLAM TO BE BIRD SEED FOR THESE BIRDS)
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/m0bXU5Xqc5M
The 500 million migratory birds in Israel during the spring arrive from Africa and head toward Europe and Asia, with the peak migration occurring in March and April. While migration starts in late February, the most intense movements, particularly of birds of prey, storks, and pelicans, occur during the third week of March and continue into April.
Key Details on the Spring Migration
Peak Period: Mid-March through April.
Main Migration Route: The birds use the Great Rift Valley, which includes the Hula Valley and Eilat, acting as a "bottleneck" where millions of birds fly through the narrow land bridge.
Best Spots: The Hula Lake Park (Northern Israel) and the Eilat Birding Center (Southern Israel) are primary locations for observing the migration.
Key Species: Hundreds of thousands of white storks, along with black kites, raptors, and pelicans, pass through over these months.
uration: The spring migration runs from late February and continues into June, though the heaviest traffic is in March/April.
The 500 million migratory birds fly over Israel in the fall between late August and mid-December. The peak migration period for the autumn, when the highest volume of bird traffic occurs, is typically October and November.
Key Fall Migration Details
Location: The Hula Valley (Agamon Hula Park) in northern Israel is the premier spot to witness this phenomenon.
Timing: Migration starts as early as late June with some waders, but intensifies from mid-August through November.
Peak Festival: The "Annual Hula Valley Bird Festival" is usually held in November to align with the peak migration traffic.
Key Species: Many birds of prey (raptors), including honey buzzards and steppe eagles, cross during this time, along with massive flocks of storks and cranes.
While roughly 500 million birds pass through in the autumn on their way to Africa, the same number crosses again in the spring (mid-February to May) on their way back to Europe and Asia.

Iran's Fars news agency says US frigate hit in Hormuz missile attack.
Tehran, May 4 (AFP) May 04, 2026-Iran's Fars news agency said Monday that Iranian forces struck a US Navy frigate in a missile attack in the Strait of Hormuz, but the US military quickly denied the claim.The report from Fars came hours after President Donald Trump said US forces would on Monday begin guiding ships through the waterway."The frigate, which was sailing in violation of navigation and maritime safety rules near (the port of) Jask, was targeted by a missile attack after ignoring a warning from the Iranian navy," Fars said, without citing a source."The American frigate that was hit was unable to continue its journey and was forced to turn back and flee the area," the Iranian news agency reported.There was no confirmation from other sources of missiles being fired, and the US military's Central Command issued a denial on X."No US Navy ships have been struck," it wrote.Trump had said the United States would on Monday begin guiding ships through the strategic strait, which was a major transport route for oil, gas and fertiliser before the Middle East war broke out on February 28 and Iran began blockading the waterway.Jask, in southern Iran on the coast of the Gulf, is located about 200 kilometres (124 miles) from the narrow strait, which separates the Arabian Peninsula from Iran.The exact location of the alleged missile incident was not specified by Fars.Iran's military has warned that US forces will be attacked if they approach the strait.Since the beginning of the war, Iranian forces have allowed only a handful of ships to pass through the waterway.In retaliation, the United States says it has been blocking access to Iranian ports since April 13.
Iran foreign ministry says US must 'abandon its excessive demands'.
Tehran, May 4 (AFP) May 04, 2026-Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said on Monday that the United States must reduce its demands on the Islamic republic, with negotiations stalled over ending the two-month-long Middle East war."At this stage, our priority is to end the war," he said in a briefing broadcast by state television. "The other side must commit to a reasonable approach and abandon its excessive demands regarding Iran."Negotiations between the two countries have been stalled since a ceasefire took effect on April 8, with only one round of direct peace talks held so far.A key sticking point has been Iran's stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz since the US and Israel launched strikes on February 28, choking off major flows of oil, gas and fertiliser, while the United States has imposed a blockade on Iranian ports.But US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that Washington would begin escorting ships through the waterway, drawing a threat of attacks from the Iranian military."By now, the Americans should have learned that they cannot use the language of threats and force against the Iranian nation," said Baqaei."The Islamic Republic of Iran has shown that it considers itself the guardian and protector of the Strait of Hormuz and this vital waterway."He said the strait was a "secure and safe route" for international shipping before the war."The international community must hold the United States and the Zionist regime accountable for imposing insecurity on this waterway and for creating problems that are being felt across the world," he added, referring to Israel.Baqaei told state television before Trump's announcement of an escort plan that Tehran had submitted a 14-point proposal "focused on ending the war," and that Washington had responded to it in a message to Pakistani mediators.
Iran warns will attack US forces in Hormuz after Trump announces escort plan.
Tehran, May 4 (AFP) May 04, 2026-Iran's military warned on Monday that US forces would be attacked if they entered the Strait of Hormuz, after President Donald Trump said the United States would begin escorting ships through the waterway.Negotiations between the two countries have been deadlocked since a ceasefire in the US-Israeli war against Iran took effect on April 8, with Tehran's stranglehold on the strait a main point of contention.Trump said on Sunday that the new maritime operation, which he dubbed "Project Freedom", was a "humanitarian" gesture for crews aboard the many ships swept up in the blockade who may be running low on food and other supplies."We will use best efforts to get their Ships and Crews safely out of the Strait. In all cases, they said they will not be returning until the area becomes safe for navigation," Trump posted on Truth Social, saying operations would begin on Monday.In response, the Iranian military's central command said any safe passage through Hormuz must be coordinated with its forces "under all circumstances"."We warn that any foreign armed force -- especially the aggressive US military -- if they intend to approach or enter the Strait of Hormuz, will be targeted and attacked," said Major General Ali Abdollahi in a statement carried by state broadcaster IRIB.By blocking the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has choked off major flows of oil, gas and fertiliser to the world economy, while the United States has imposed a counter-blockade on Iranian ports.Trump in his post said he was "fully aware that my Representatives are having very positive discussions with the Country of Iran, and that these discussions could lead to something very positive for all."But he made no direct mention of a 14-point plan that Tehran said it put forward last week to end the war.US Central Command said it would use guided-missile destroyers, over 100 land and sea-based aircraft, multi-domain unmanned platforms and 15,000 service members in the Hormuz effort.As of April 29, more than 900 commercial vessels were located in the Gulf, according to maritime intelligence firm AXSMarine.- 'Impossible operation' -US news website Axios, citing two sources briefed on the Iranian proposal, reported that Tehran set "a one-month deadline for negotiations on a deal to reopen the strait", lift the US naval blockade and end the war.On Sunday, the Revolutionary Guards sought to put the onus back on Trump, saying he must choose between "an impossible operation or a bad deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran".Washington's European allies are concerned that the longer the strait remains closed, the more their economies will suffer, and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul demanded that it be reopened.In a call with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi, Wadephul stressed that Germany supported a negotiated solution but that "Iran must completely and verifiably renounce nuclear weapons and immediately open the Strait of Hormuz".Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron, who has tried to coordinate a post-war mission to the strait alongside Britain and an international coalition, called for "a coordinated reopening by the United States and Iran"."That is the only solution for reopening", he said.Oil prices are currently about 50 percent above pre-conflict levels, largely due to the supply snarls in the strait.- 'Suffocating the regime' -The US president, who spent the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, declined on Sunday to specify what could trigger new US military action.But in his post he said that "if in any way, this Humanitarian (ship-guiding) process is interfered with, that interference will, unfortunately, have to be dealt with forcefully".Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the US naval blockade was only part of a broader economic embargo."We are suffocating the regime, and they are not able to pay their soldiers," he told Fox News. "This is a real economic blockade, and it is in all parts of government."burs-axn/dcp
German FM, in call with Iranian counterpart, demands Hormuz reopening.
Berlin, May 3 (AFP) May 03, 2026-German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul on Sunday demanded that Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz and give up its nuclear weapons programme in a telephone call with Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi."I emphasised that Germany supports a negotiated solution," Wadephul said in a post on X about the call."As a close US ally, we share the same goal: Iran must completely and verifiably renounce nuclear weapons and immediately open the Strait of Hormuz, as also demanded" by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Wadephul said.In recent days, Wadephul and other German officials have been trying to ease a spat between US President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.Merz said on April 27 that Iran was "humiliating" Washington at the negotiating table, which provoked a series of angry responses from Washington.The US announced that 5,000 troops would be moved from US military bases in Germany, and Trump also announced that US tariffs on cars and trucks from the European Union would jump from 15 percent to 25 percent in coming days.Trump accused the entire EU bloc of failing to comply with a trade deal signed last summer, even as the pact went through the bloc's legislative process.The new tariffs announced would hit Germany's large car industry particularly hard.Efforts to end the US-Israeli war on Iran have made little apparent progress since a ceasefire came into effect in early April, and there are growing concerns over renewed escalation.US President Donald Trump said he would review a new plan submitted by Tehran, but stated that he "can't imagine that it would be acceptable". He added that, in his view, Iran has "not yet paid a big enough price".In a statement on Sunday, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said the United States must choose between "an impossible operation or a bad deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran".Germany's Merz has been critical of the war.Merz and other European leaders have expressed particular concern about the economic fallout from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.Roughly a fifth of global oil supplies passed through the crucial waterway before the start of the war.bst/rmb
UAE condemns Iran drone attack on Hormuz oil tanker.
Dubai, May 4 (AFP) May 04, 2026-The UAE on Monday strongly condemned an Iranian drone attack on an ADNOC oil tanker in the blockaded Strait of Hormuz, as the US was due to start guiding ships through the waterway.Two drones hit the MV Barakah off the coast of Oman but no one was injured, according to ADNOC, the UAE state oil giant, adding that the ship was not loaded."Targeting commercial shipping and using the Strait of Hormuz as a tool of economic coercion or blackmail represents acts of piracy by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps," the United Arab Emirates foreign ministry said.The UK Maritime Trade Operations agency earlier reported that projectiles struck a ship in the same area late on Sunday.The latest incident came as President Donald Trump said the US would start guiding ships through the vital waterway from Monday.The US and Iran remain deadlocked in peace negotiations since a ceasefire in the Middle East war came into effect on April 8.Iran has maintained a stranglehold on the strategic Strait of Hormuz, and the United States has put in place a naval blockade in return.US Central Command said it would use guided-missile destroyers, over 100 land and sea-based aircraft, multi-domain unmanned platforms and 15,000 service members to guide ships through the Hormuz strait.As of April 29, more than 900 commercial vessels were located in the Gulf, according to maritime intelligence firm AXSMarine. There had been more than 1,100 at the start of the conflict.Oil prices have rocketed since the closure of the strait, which normally carries one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas, threatening widespread economic damage.
Missiles fired at US frigate in Strait of Hormuz: Iranian media..

Indonesia, Japan sign defence pact after Tokyo unlocks arms exports.
Jakarta, May 4 (AFP) May 04, 2026-The defence ministers of Indonesia and Japan signed a cooperation agreement on Monday, Jakarta said, underlining the need to safeguard regional peace and stability in the face of global tumult.The signing during Japanese Defence Minister Shinjiro Koizumi's visit to Indonesia came after Tokyo had eased decades-old arms export rules last month, allowing firms to sell lethal weapons to countries with which Japan has defence agreements.Indonesian defence ministry spokesman Rico Ricardo Sirait told AFP that the agreement was part of efforts to improve defence cooperation between the two countries.The pact covers issues including collaboration in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, joint exercises and maritime cooperation, Rico said.He added that it also "opens up opportunities for cooperation in defence equipment and technology" while "prioritising... regional stability".Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto, a former general, has been pushing to modernise the country's ageing military assets since taking office in 2024.Koizumi earlier said that defence cooperation with Indonesia would make a "contribution to peace and stability... for the region as a whole" amid "an increasingly complex and tense international situation".After his talks with Indonesia's Defence Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin in Jakarta, Koizumi is bound for the Philippines, where Japanese forces are taking part in a joint military exercise also including the United States.Indonesia last month concluded a defence cooperation pact with the United States, agreed to increase security ties with France, and signed an oil deal with Russia.Jakarta, while defending a non-aligned diplomatic posture it calls "free and active", last year joined the BRICS bloc of emerging economies that includes Russia and US rival China.Prabowo has also signed a trade deal with US President Donald Trump and joined his so-called "Board of Peace".Last week, Jakarta said it was still considering a US request for blanket overflight clearance which, if approved, analysts say could be seen as an alignment with Washington over Beijing.Indonesia is strategically located on the Malacca Strait -- the world's busiest chokepoint for oil and petroleum liquids, according to the US Energy Information Administration.The vast majority of China-bound oil travels through the strait.
Singapore, New Zealand sign deal on fuel, food security.
Singapore, May 4 (AFP) May 04, 2026-Singapore agreed to the continued flow of refined fuel to New Zealand in exchange for food security on Monday as the trade partners firmed up supply chains choked by the Mideast War.New Zealand imports about a third of its refined fuel from Singapore, including diesel, which is vital for its farming industry.Singapore, in turn, relies on New Zealand for about 14 percent of its total food imports.Under the Agreement on Trade in Essential Supplies signed in the city-state during a visit by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon on Monday, both countries committed "not to impose unnecessary export restrictions on agreed essential supplies", even during supply chain disruptions.Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said the deal is key "because in difficult times, every country will be tempted to look inward".Luxon agreed, lauding Singapore's diesel as a commodity that "underpins the farming and freight systems that keep New Zealand's food moving into the region".Despite having no domestic reserves, Singapore is a major global oil refining and trading hub and exports massive amounts of fuel.The two countries signed the agreement as supplies passing through the Strait of Hormuz are likely to remain limited even if the key waterway is reopened.It will likely take months to clear mines, restore damaged energy port infrastructure and return confidence in the waterway, through which about a fifth of global crude oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) transits during peacetime, Wong said.Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has been disrupted since the United States and Israel began a bombing campaign against Iran on February 28.Last month, Singapore and Australia signed a non-binding agreement requiring them to make "maximum efforts to meet each other's energy security needs".Australia relies on imports for an estimated 90 percent of its refined fuel products, of which around a quarter comes from Singapore.Singapore buys around 32 percent of its liquefied natural gas requirements from Australia.
Village braces for closure of Spain's largest nuclear plant.
Almaraz, Spain, May 4 (AFP) May 04, 2026-In the western Spanish village of Almaraz, the uncertain future of the country's biggest nuclear power plant casts a pall over daily life.The Almaraz plant, which contributes around seven percent of Spain's electricity production, is slated to close in 2028 as part of the leftist government's plan to shut all nuclear reactors by 2035.But last year's nationwide blackout and recent fuel supply disruptions linked to the war in the Middle East have rekindled debate over the phase-out, mirroring a wider reassessment of nuclear power across Europe."It's sad that they want to shut it down," said Jose Antonio Morgado, a 59-year-old mechanic who has worked seasonal refuelling operations at the plant since 1989.Each year, during the complex process of replacing nuclear fuel in the reactors, Morgado joins hundreds of temporary workers brought in to support the facility's roughly 800 permanent employees.The work can pay up to 6,000 euros (about $7,000) a month -- a substantial income in one of Spain's poorest regions.Those wages will disappear if Spain follows through on plans announced by Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in 2019 to close the plant's first reactor in 2027, and the second in 2028, as part of a transition to renewable energy.The three Spanish energy companies that own the site initially agreed to that timetable. But they now argue that keeping the reactors online until 2030 would strengthen energy security and help stabilise electricity prices.The government is expected to decide by the end of October.- 'Desert' -In the centre of Almaraz, a village of about 1,500 people surrounded by gently rolling countryside, businesses are increasingly worried."It would be a desert here" if the site closes, said David Martin, 32, who runs a restaurant in Almaraz that his parents opened in the 1980s at the same time as the plant.During refuelling periods, Martin serves up to 260 meals a day. In quieter periods, that falls to around 80.Without the nuclear plant, he estimates business would drop by nearly half, forcing him to lay off half of his 12 employees.The economic stakes have mobilised local residents.Last year, supporters of the plant formed a grassroots campaign group called "Si a Almaraz, Si al Futuro" (Yes to Almaraz, Yes to the Future) to pressure the government to reconsider the closure schedule.The group's leader, Fernando Sanchez Castilla, a long-time plant employee who also serves as mayor of a nearby village, warns that shutting the facility would devastate dozens of surrounding communities."This is the region's main industry," he said, estimating the plant accounts for roughly five percent of the economic output of the western region of Extremadura and supports about 4,000 direct and indirect jobs.- 'Be brave' -The Almaraz plant, with its two large white domes rising above the countryside, could continue operating for several more years, said Patricia Rubio Oviedo, head of the site's technical operations office."Nuclear energy is essential in the energy mix," she said, arguing it provides stable electricity, unlike renewable sources such as wind and solar, whose output can fluctuate.The European Commission has urged member states to avoid prematurely shutting existing nuclear facilities as part of efforts to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and strengthen energy independence.Sanchez's government, however, remains firmly committed to its green energy agenda.Drawing on Spain's sunny plains, windy hillsides and fast-flowing rivers, the country aims to increase the share of electricity generated by renewables to 81 percent by 2030, up from around 60 percent today."The government has to be brave. It cannot change its mind because its credibility is at stake," said Francisco del Pozo Campos, a spokesman for Greenpeace Spain.Extending the plant's operation until 2030 would raise costs for consumers and lead to an estimated 26 billion euros loss in renewable energy investment, he added.Spain's ecological transition ministry said it was preparing support measures for workers, including retraining programmes linked to a planned electric vehicle battery factory set to open nearby by a Chinese industrial group.This is little comfort to local residents."If these families leave, what will be left for us?" asked Martin, as he scanned his nearly full restaurant.
Belgium looks to take control of nuclear reactors in energy push.
Brussels, Belgium, April 30 (AFP) Apr 30, 2026-Belgium on Thursday announced it was looking to buy control of its nuclear reactors from French giant Engie, as part of a push to boost its use of the energy."An agreement has been reached with Engie to define the conditions and launch the necessary studies for a complete takeover of the Belgian nuclear fleet," Belgian prime minister Bart De Wever posted online."Until then, all dismantling activities are suspended with immediate effect."De Wever has pledged to increase Belgium's use of nuclear energy -- after the previous government already backed off plans to quit the power."This government is choosing safe, affordable and sustainable energy, with less dependence on fossil fuel imports and more control over our own supply," he wrote.Attention has refocused on nuclear power in Europe as a key source of energy as the Middle East War has sent oil and gas prices soaring.The energy shock from the Iran war is the second to rock Europe in just a few years after an earlier one sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.Engie operated seven reactors in Belgium through its Belgian subsidiary, at Tihange in the eastern Liege region and at Doel, near Antwerp.However, only two of these reactors have had their operating licenses extended beyond 2025, for a period of ten years, under an agreement reached in 2023 by the previous Belgian government.mad/del/ub/rl-Engie
US pledges $100 mn toward restoring Chernobyl protection.
Washington, United States, April 29 (AFP) Apr 29, 2026-The United States said Wednesday it will provide up to $100 million toward repairing a dome preventing leaks from Ukraine's Chernobyl nuclear disaster, contributing nearly one-fifth of costs after a Russian strike caused damage.France, the current leader of the Group of Seven, said in March that repairs would cost 500 million euros ($580 million) and asked fellow members of the club of major industrial democracies to chip in.The State Department said that President Donald Trump's administration would work with Congress to provide money for repairs, "consistent with the United States' continued leadership on issues of nuclear safety and non-proliferation.""We call upon our G7 and European partners to follow suit and make substantial financial commitments to share the burden of these essential repairs," it said in a statement.A reactor at Chernobyl -- when Ukraine was still part of the Soviet Union -- exploded during a botched safety test in 1986 in one of the world's worst nuclear disasters, sending clouds of radiation across Europe and forcing tens of thousands of people to evacuate.In November 2016, a massive metal dome was erected over the remains of the reactor -- paid for with 2.1 billion euros in international funding -- to stop future leaks.The Russian drone strike in February 2025 left a large hole in the outer of two radiation shells covering the remnants of the nuclear power plant.The new US contribution comes despite Trump's usual disdain for international assistance and his pressure on Ukraine to make concessions to Russia.Consistent with the Trump administration's messaging, the State Department did not blame Russia over the dome, saying it was damaged "in a drone strike during the senseless ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine."Russia's army captured the plant on the first day of its 2022 full-scale invasion Ukraine, before withdrawing a few weeks later.Ukraine has repeatedly accused Moscow of targeting Chernobyl and its other nuclear power plants, saying Moscow's strikes risk triggering a potentially catastrophic disaster.
Hezbollah condemns 'Israeli aggression' despite Lebanon truce.
Beirut, Lebanon, May 4 (AFP) May 04, 2026-Hezbollah's leader on Monday condemned Israel's operations in Lebanon amid a fragile ceasefire, repeating the group's rejection of direct negotiations between the Israeli and Lebanese governments.Israel has kept up deadly strikes on Lebanon despite the April 17 ceasefire that sought to halt more than six weeks of war between its military and Hezbollah, with both sides accusing the other of violating the truce.In Lebanon's south near the Israeli border, the Israeli army has also demolished buildings and prevented residents of dozens of towns from returning."There is no ceasefire in Lebanon, but a continuous Israeli-American aggression," Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem said in a written statement broadcast by the al-Manar TV channel, which is affiliated with the Iran-backed militant group."Lebanon is the victim of aggression, and it is Lebanon that needs guarantees for its security and sovereignty" from Israel, he added.He criticised the direct talks, saying they put Lebanon "under tutelage", and instead called for diplomacy that leads to an end to the war that began on March 2."Direct negotiations are a gratuitous concession, without results," he said."So do not betray the resistance."The US embassy in Beirut had on Thursday called for a meeting between Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which it said would be a "historic opportunity" for the Lebanese people "to shape their future".On Monday, the Israeli army carried out a series of strikes after a new evacuation order was issued to residents of four towns in southern Lebanon.The ceasefire text -- published by the US State Department -- grants Israel the right to act against "planned, imminent or ongoing attacks" by Hezbollah.Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed more than 2,600 people and displaced more than a million since the war began.After initial talks took place between Lebanon and Israel, US President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire would last for 10 days, before a three-week extension was agreed after the second round.
Iranian British man who chased Golders Green terrorist: ‘Maybe I can save someone’s life’-Ashkan Asadian recounts kicking attacker and grabbing for his knife, giving badly wounded Jewish victim a chance to escape-By ToI Staff Today, 4:10 pm-MAY 4,26
Ashkan Asadian, an Iranian British man, chased the perpetrator of last week’s antisemitic stabbing attack in north London’s Golders Green neighborhood and helped one of the victims flee by distracting the terrorist, Asadian told the BBC.Security camera footage from the Wednesday attack showed the perpetrator, identified by police as 45-year-old Somali-born UK national Essa Suleiman, stabbing Moshe Shine, 76, next to a bus stop. A passerby, identified by the BBC as Asadian, can be seen running in the direction of the attacker.“Maybe I can save someone’s life,” Asadian, 61, recalled thinking at the time.When Asadian reached them, Shine and the attacker had fallen to the road, with the attacker still holding the knife. Asadian recalled kicking the attacker and trying to grab the knife, giving the badly wounded Shine a chance to escape.With no one else around to help, and realizing the attacker was “quite dangerous,” Asadian backed away, and watched as the attacker entered a grocery store as though he were a “normal shopper,” Asadian told the BBC.According to the network, Asadian alerted a cashier that the attacker was carrying a knife, and a bystander called police while Asadian bought officers time by using a shopping cart to barricade the attacker inside the store.Asadian eventually let the attacker out, fearing for the safety of the staff, and then pointed police in the direction of the attacker, who was sauntering down the road, Asadian told the BBC.Asadian, a naturalized British citizen, came to the UK from Iran in 1999, and has two children who live in Golders Green, which is home to large Jewish, Asian and Middle Eastern communities. Asadian told the network that Iranians and Jews in the neighborhood live side by side in harmony.“They have a good arrangement,” he said. “They have no problems.”It made no difference to him whether the victim was Jewish or non-Jewish, he added: “They’re human.”Shine and 34-year-old Shloime Rand were both seriously wounded in the attack last week. Suleiman, the alleged perpetrator, has been charged with three counts of attempted murder for the stabbing and for an attack earlier in the day on his acquaintance Ishmail Hussein in south London’s Southwark.The stabbing in Golders Green was claimed by Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI), an apparently Iran-linked group that has also taken responsibility for other antisemitic incidents in Europe amid the war in Iran, though authorities are still investigating the claims.British and other Diaspora Jewish communities were already facing a massive spike in antisemitism amid the war sparked in Gaza by the Hamas-led onslaught of October 7, 2023.Following the Golders Green attack, the UK’s top police officer said British Jews are facing their greatest-ever threat, and called for 300 armed officers to be deployed to protect the Jewish community of north London.
Survey finds fewer than 25% of Gaza border residents feel safe, 40% don’t trust state-But progress report by Tekuma Directorate, at halfway mark of five-year term, finds rising life satisfaction, optimism about future-By Sue Surkes-Today, 2:23 pm-MAY 4,26
Feelings of safety among Gaza border residents are declining, and only one in four people trust government bodies, a new report from the organization aimed at rehabilitating the region in the wake of the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre found.The report, conducted by the Tekuma Directorate in conjunction with the Central Bureau of Statistics and issued Sunday, shows that just 23% of those surveyed by feel very or somewhat safe living in the Gaza border area, down from 35% in 2024.Trust in the government, Knesset, police, and justice system, measured for the first time in 2025, stood at just 40%. Trust in state services was also patchy.The health service, the only one with survey material from before the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, was trusted by 80% of respondents before the attack and by 74% in 2025.However, faith in the education system dropped to 51% in 2025, down from 64% in 2024, while belief in welfare services dipped from 68% to 57% over the same period.Trust in the local authorities remained stable, dropping slightly from 78% to 76%.Stress symptoms are decreasing, according to the survey. Reported by just 13% of respondents between 2019 and 2023, the figure rose to 45% in 2024, but dropped to 39% in 2025.Satisfaction with life and optimism about the future, which 79% of respondents reported before October 7, 2023, dropped to 59% in 2024, then rose to 62% in 2025, possibly reflecting the area’s deep sense of community.The survey forms part of a detailed halfway-point report by the directorate (in Hebrew), which was established shortly after the traumatic Hamas invasion of southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the massacre of 1,200 people and the abduction of 251 to the Gaza Strip, all of whom have since been returned either dead or alive.The directorate, responsible for the rehabilitation of the region, has a five-year mandate and a NIS 17.5 billion (just under $6 billion) budget.Among multiple subjects, the report describes ongoing physical renovations, with project completion depending primarily on the extent of damage at each kibbutz or moshav.After the plans and work schedules were approved through 2024, implementation took off in 2025, with completion rates rising from 20% to 60% over the year, according to the directorate. For renovation and construction of public institutions, the figure rose from 8% to 51%.Those overall figures, however, mask varying levels of progress in different communities.While 99% of the works have been completed in Nirim and Nahal Oz, for example, 88% in Ein Hashlosha, and 83% in Re’im (residents returned to these communities last summer), just 35% have been completed in Be’eri, which was ravaged on October 7. The works there are supposed to be completed by the end of the year.Work is due to finish at Kibbutz Kfar Aza and Kibbutz Holit in August, while at Nir Oz, construction will continue until the end of next year.The residents of Be’eri, Kfar Aza, Holit, and Nir Oz are still primarily in temporary accommodation.Subject to government funding, the directorate is planning to spend NIS 2.9 billion ($965 million) on 116 projects this year.By the end of 2025, it had earmarked NIS 11.6 billion ($3.9 billion), representing roughly 67% of the planned five-year budget, with NIS 5.4 billion ($1.8 billion) already paid out and the remainder awaiting advanced planning and execution stages.The report said the directorate had budgeted NIS 11.6 billion ($3.9 billion) by the end of 2025, representing roughly 67% of the planned five-year budget, with NIS 5.4 billion ($1.8 billion) already paid out and the remainder awaiting the advanced planning and execution stages.Aviad Friedman, head of the directorate, emphasized that the mission, scheduled to conclude in 2028, was not just about restoration but was leading a deep change to ensure a prosperous future through systematic anchors for growth.
Jerusalem Christians not surprised by attack on nun as abuse becomes routine-Priest says once-isolated incidents of ultra-Orthodox people spitting near them have become daily occurrences; 61 physical attacks recorded in 2025-By AFP and ToI Staff 3 May 2026, 11:30 pm
Footage of an attack on a Catholic nun in Jerusalem shocked the world when it went viral last week, but for worshipers attending Sunday mass at Saint Stephen’s Basilica, it was just the latest example of mounting religious hostility.The attack on Tuesday was captured by CCTV and shared widely, showing a Jewish extremist shoving the nun to the ground and leaving, before returning to resume his attack on her, at which point by-passers intervened.As the congregation poured out of the Sunday service, the story was still on everyone’s lips, as many offered words and tokens of support for the French nun, who was not in attendance.“She still has pains,” but she is “surrounded by support,” said the priest who led the service, Olivier Catel.When Catel arrived in Jerusalem over a decade ago, such incidents were rare. Roughly once a year, he said, “when I went out in my habit, people — usually ultra-Orthodox Jews — would spit behind our back.”“We never paid attention because they were isolated incidents,” he said. But for the past three or four years, it has become something of a daily occurrence.“When we go out, people spit next to us.”The Rossing Center, a Jerusalem-based association for interreligious dialogue, has documented “growing harassment” of Christians in Israel and East Jerusalem, according to a study released in March.Throughout 2025, it recorded 61 physical attacks, including spitting, the use of pepper spray, and blows. It also recorded 28 cases of verbal harassment and 52 cases of defacement of church property.A British priest who preferred to remain anonymous confirmed that such incidents occurred daily.He never went out without his black robes and was invariably met with spitting or shouts of “Go home!” in his direction.‘He should be killed’“Everyone said this would happen someday,” said Pierre, a 30-year-old parishioner, who was “not surprised” by the incident and in fact expected things to escalate to a possible death if there were no intervention.The day of the attack on the nun, a priest he knew was in the supermarket when a man stopped before him.“He told his son, in Hebrew, ‘He should be killed,'” said Pierre. “If nothing is done… someone will take that step.”The attack occurred a few steps away from the Old City of Jerusalem, the flashpoint of tensions in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, at the foot of the Church of the Dormition.A young Israeli who said he witnessed the incident from a distance described the attacker as “a madman.”Israeli media had described the assailant as a far-right activist with a history of mental illness.“It’s very shocking,” said Uriel Levisohn, a 28-year-old rabbi, who expressed disbelief at how commonplace such incidents have become.“With God’s help, this will be the last time something like this happens here.”But worshipers leaving the mass were less hopeful, saying they were waiting for a firm response from the Israeli authorities.They pointed to increasingly “supremacist” rhetoric in the country, including among senior officials.They recalled recent incidents in southern Lebanon, where Israel is fighting the Hezbollah terror group, and where an Israeli soldier was filmed destroying a statue of Jesus.Catel nonetheless said he refused to “live in fear.”“I continue to go to the Old City in my robes,” he said, adding that while he avoided certain neighborhoods, “overall, I haven’t changed my habits.”

10 This shall be their lot in return for their pride, because they taunted and boasted against the people of the Lord of hosts.

37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

According to ancient oriental usage, slaves and soldiers bore the name or stamp of their master or commander branded or pricked (cut) into their bodies to indicate what master or general they belonged to, and there were even some devotees who stamped themselves in this way with the token of their gods (cf. Deyling, Observations, iii., p. 423ff); hence, τά στίγματα τοῦ (κυρίου so Rec.)

NATO chief says Europeans have 'gotten message' from Trump on defence.
Yerevan, May 4 (AFP) May 04, 2026-Europeans have "heard" US President Donald Trump's message of frustration over the Iran war and are "stepping up", NATO chief Mark Rutte said on Monday after Washington announced it would withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany."European leaders have gotten the message. They heard the message loud and clear," Rutte said before talks with European leaders in Armenia, acknowledging "disappointment on the US side" faced with European allies' resistance to joining the war."Europeans are stepping up, a bigger role for Europe and a stronger NATO," Rutte insisted ahead of a European Political Community meeting dominated by the twin security threats posed by the Ukraine and Middle East wars."We have seen all these countries now participating with their bilateral agreements making sure that when it comes to basing requests and all the logistical support," Rutte said.The Pentagon troop move comes with transatlantic ties badly strained over the Middle East war -- although German Chancellor Friedrich Merz insisted Sunday there was "no connection" with his recent spat with Trump over the conflict.EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas called the announcement's "timing" a "surprise"."There has been a talk about withdrawal US troops for a long time from Europe," she told reporters in Yerevan. "But of course, the timing of this announcement comes as a surprise.""I think it shows that we have to really strengthen the European pillar in NATO, and we have to really do more," Kallas said, while stressing that "American troops are not in Europe only for protecting European interests, but also American interests."Europe has been ramping up its defence spending in the face of fears over Trump's commitment to NATO and Russia's assault on Ukraine -- a push underscored by several leaders in the Armenian capital."Europeans are taking their destiny into their own hands, increasing their defence and security spending, and building their own common solutions," French President Emmanuel Macron said."We have to step up our military capabilities to be able to defend and protect ourselves," EU chief Ursula von der Leyen told reporters.
Travel biometrics making new connections.May 2, 2026, 10:43 am EDT | Chris Burt
Airport biometrics projects and companies are breaking new ground and intersecting with other industry trends, from digital wallets to biometric ticketing. This week’s big acquisition and details of a successful trial illustrate the market segment’s growth potential, as other top headlines on Biometric Update show the bullish future of AI agents, digital wallets and even physical access control for entertainment venues.The billion-dollar acquisition of Idemia PS by Amadeus marks a bold move to expand the digital travel ecosystem, while Silverfort is adding Fabrix’ Security’s native AI expertise to its IAM strengths.Travel biometrics expand horizons-Amadeus is acquiring Idemia Public Security in a 1.2 billion euro ($1.4 billion) deal that significantly expands the former’s biometrics capabilities and market reach. The plan laid out by Amadeus refers to an expanded set of use cases for biometric travel beyond airports.An IATA trial successfully showed how digital ID and face biometrics can enable international flights, even with a transfer in the middle. A journey from Japan to London via Hong Kong was completed through interoperability between multiple digital wallets and types of face biometrics implementations.Pakistan is considering its options to deploy biometric e-gates and passenger screening systems at the country’s airports, but the process has been somewhat fraught. A PAA project to supply the e-gates has drawn allegations of procurement process violations, and now the U.S. government supports a $2.4 billion, 25-year bid from Securiport.As biometric travel credentials expand to the hospitality sector, biometric access control is already on the agenda or deployed at the entrance of destinations like NCAA football stadiums and Disneyland. Wicket has struck a deal with live event ticketing and analytics provider Paciolan, which serves three-quarters of schools from the Power Four Conferences, which are the SEC, Big Ten, ACC and Big 12.AI and IAM-Silverfort has acquired Fabrix Security to integrate its AI capabilities, while private equity firm Bridgepoint has taken majority ownership of iC Consult to steer it through the growth period AI agents are spurring in IAM.World is targeting enterprise authentication with its 4.0 service expansion, but GetReal Security CEO Matt Moynahan argues on his company’s blog that World ID is designed for consumers to prove they’re human, not enterprises use cases.Public projects plod along-Separate findings from the EC’s EUDI Wallet Launchpad and ENISA’s draft European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme show the digital IDs will be able to serve many use cases with a robust security framework. But not anytime soon. The former says few states will meet November’s deadline, and the latter says no security standard or spec will be ready either.The UK’s national digital ID is bypassing some of the steps, like a launch or a clear plan, that usually precede a public inquiry by the Public Accounts Committee, which pounded one of the nails into GOV.UK’s coffin in 2019. The Ada Lovelace Institute warn the project risks undermining the basis of common law.David Crack of ADVP and Phil Booth of NO2ID debate what good digital ID for the UK might look like in last weekend’s episode of the Biometric Update Podcast.Sri Lanka is currently setting up the trust architecture, including the nascent Data Protection Authority, for its digital ID. The country’s Deputy Minister of Digital Economy tells Biometric Update citizens will have control over their own data, with biometrics hashed before storage.The longer governments take to establish working private markets or public alternatives, the better for Google, Apple and Samsung. The digital wallets offered by the three smartphone giants are getting fatter with more IDs, age verification and digital travel features.Australia has begun the process to contract a biometric liveness detection supplier for myID. The ATO has been using iProov’s spoof protection since 2021, and wants to take advantage of new technologies like NFC scanning on smartphones.Armenia is getting new biometric passports and ID cards compliant with current ICAO and EU specifications. Biometrics cards will be supplied by Haypass, a consortium founded by Idemia Identity Security and ACI Technology, and IN Groupe.Please let us know if you spot any online presentations, podcasts or other content we should pass along to those in biometrics and the digital identity community, either in the comments below or through social media.
Amadeus unveils planned €1.2B Idemia PS acquisition to extend travel biometrics-Apr 29, 2026, 10:13 am EDT | Chris Burt
Amadeus IT SA has officially declared its intention to acquire Idemia Public Security for 1.2 billion euros (approximately US$1.4 billion) to extend its ambitions as a biometrics and digital identity orchestrator for travel ecosystems throughout the aviation, border control and hospitality markets.The prospective deal follows reports indicating that Amadeus would emerge as the top bidder for IPS, but seller Advent International was reported to be seeking between €2 billion and €3 billion for the company in mid-2025. The first of Idemia’s three divisions to be sold was its Smart Identity unit, which went to IN Groupe at a reported price tag of a billion euros ($1.1 billion).Amadeus plans to integrate Idemia Public Security’s biometrics capabilities with airline, airport, border control and hotel IT systems to support a new phase of automation, according to the announcement, with digital identity as a foundational layer in end-to-end travel. Financing for the acquisitions comes from a combination of cash on-hand and debt.The aviation biometrics ambitions of Amadeus’ already received a boost when the company acquired Vision-Box for €320 million (roughly $374 million at the time) in 2024. That deal gave Amadeus a significant portfolio of face biometrics technology for airports, but Idemia PS brings leading algorithms and devices across several biometric modalities.“This demonstrates further our long-term commitment to biometrics as part of our broader platform strategy,” says Amadeus President and CEO Luis Marato in the announcement. “Alongside AI, biometrics is one of the most transformative technologies for delivering fast, convenient, and secure end-to-end traveler journeys. This will enable us to deliver our services across more traveler touch points, in turn reducing friction, and improving the traveler experience, while supporting our ambition to further expand biometric capabilities, extending traveler ID throughout the journey.”Amadeus estimates IPS brings recurring EBITDA of €112 million ($131 million) on full-year 2025 earnings of €711 million ($832 million), and says in an investor announcement the price represents a 9.8X enterprise value multiple based on 2026 EBITDA.Goode Intelligence CEO and Chief Analyst Alan Goode tells Biometric Update in an email that the deal “comes as no surprise and makes a lot of sense for both parties. Biometrics and digital identity are core technologies for secure travel and border control. The acquisition propels Amadeus into one of the leading suppliers of travel security and identity on the back of the acquisition of Vision-Box two years ago in 2024.”IPS gives Amadeus technologies beyond biometrics for access control and data management, the announcement notes, enabling Amadeus to expand the breadth of its portfolio.With Idemia PS’ business in law enforcement and biometric access control, Amadeus says its total addressable market has now jumped to €50 billion ($59 billion).The investor presentation identifies hotel check-ins, age verification, car rentals and railway transport as possible use cases for the companies’ combined technology beyond airports.The companies expect a deal to be signed during Q2, 2026. The planned acquisition is subject to all the usual approvals, and is expected to close in mid-2027.
TestMu AI releases testing tool for agent-produced code-May 3, 2026, 2:13 pm EDT | Joel R. McConvey
TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest) has launched Kane CLI, “a new browser automation tool that runs directly from the terminal,” and “the first tool designed simultaneously for human developers and AI coding agents, closing the gap between code generation and verified browser execution.” As AI agents take over the job of coding, there is a verification gap: “no agent can open a browser and verify that what it built actually works. That step still falls to a human.” Kane CLI aims to close this loop. “For years, the bottleneck in software was writing the code,” says Asad Khan, CEO of TestMu AI. “Vibe coding removed that. Teams are shipping more software, faster, than at any point in the history of our industry. But it exposed a new bottleneck most teams haven’t named yet: trust. Every feature that ships from a prompt is a feature nobody has actually verified.” “At agentic speed, ‘a human will click through it later’ is not a plan – it’s a liability, compounding at the speed of AI. That’s why we built Kane CLI. One terminal command, a real browser, pass or fail. Software has always trusted the people who wrote it. Now, for the first time, it has to trust the machines. Kane CLI is how trust scales in the agentic era.”
Digital wallets move deeper into IDs, age verification as rollouts expand-Apple, Google and Samsung add passport IDs, liveness-backed age checks-Apr 28, 2026, 12:21 pm EDT | Lu-Hai Liang
Google is upgrading its support for digital IDs for more territories, while Apple and Samsung are also adding new features to their respective digital wallets.Google Wallet for Android is now adding support for three further passports, reports 9to5Google. Adding a passport to Google Wallet as a digital ID launched for U.S. passports at first before being expanded to the UK in 2025.Google Wallet has now added support for Singapore, Brazil and Taiwan. Under the “Add to Wallet” menu, for IDs and then creating an ID pass will show support for four other countries including the UK. Only one ID pass can be added to your Google Account, which can also be removed via the app or via myaccount.google.com.The process will require the user to take a photo of their passport’s info page and scanning the NFC chip embedded in the passport. A liveness check also takes place with a selfie video to confirm you’re a real person. Google Wallet also announced it is adding India’s digital identity Aadhaar earlier this year.As for that other major smartphone platform, Apple is enabling a significant new feature for its digital ID that will service the ever pressing requirement of age verification.When iOS 26 rolled out in September 2025, Apple let iPhone users create a digital ID with a U.S. passport. This digital ID could be checked in more than 250 U.S. airports for domestic travel, being accepted by TSA security. Apple said: “In the future, users will be able to present their Digital ID at additional select businesses and organizations for identity and age verification in person, in apps, and online.”This age verification capability is now ready, per 9to5Mac. Age verification is the hot topic as U.S. states and countries around the world enforce checks for adult content and gaming while the more news-grabbing trend is for age-gating social media, video and streaming platforms.Now, Apple’s digital ID can be used for certain age verification purposes. These include creating a new Apple Account, updating system software, changing select safety settings, or downloading apps with an 18 age rating. It’s not the only age verifier as Apple says:“You can use your driver’s license or government-issued ID, or a credit card to confirm that you’re an adult. Passports, debit cards, and gift cards aren’t supported*.“*A Digital ID in Apple Wallet created using a U.S. passport can be used to confirm that you’re an adult.”As for Samsung, which often likes to add unique features for its Galaxy devices, it is launching Trips for Samsung Wallet. The new travel management feature provides Galaxy users a single place to organize tickets, bookings and itinerary details.Trips automatically groups travel items — flights, hotels, car rentals, train and bus tickets, theme park passes and event bookings — into a unified timeline based on time and location. Users can also add items manually and attach memos for reminders or notes. Starting from April 2026, compatible Samsung Galaxy smartphones in the U.S. should have the feature.Samsung says the feature is designed to reduce the friction of juggling confirmations across apps, emails and messages, and offering quicker access to essential information. Samsung Wallet already stores payment cards and boarding passes, and the company plans to continue adding new partner integrations over time.
AI agents operating continuously at machine speed are breaking human-centric IAM-Ping Identity, DigiCert, VeriAI among companies addressing agentic governance-May 1, 2026, 3:16 pm EDT | Joel R. McConvey
New research commissioned by Ping Identity and compiled by KuppingerCole Analysts shows that “agents are being deployed into production faster than enterprises can govern them, exposing gaps in identity systems designed for human users.”The report, “From AI Agents to Trusted Digital Workers,” looks at the governance and identity access management (IAM) challenges and critical vulnerabilities facing organizations in an agentic world, wherein systems originally designed for human interaction are being pushed to operate continuously. “Traditional frameworks assume applications with deterministic behavior which does not apply to autonomous agents acting probabilistically across system boundaries,” it says.Per a release, the research “defines how enterprises can govern AI agents at runtime to close emerging authorization gaps.”It also describes “a failure mode in which AI agents combine individually legitimate permissions in unintended ways, resulting in actions that bypass established controls and cannot be fully traced or governed.” The report says this represents a new class of identity risk in enterprise systems in which AI agents operate autonomously.“Autonomous AI agents break core IAM assumptions around human consent, deterministic behavior, and event-level auditability, creating opaque delegation chains and prompt-injection exposure,” it reads. “Agent-to-agent delegation creates permission chains that are difficult to trace or enforce. When an agent acts on behalf of a user and calls a second agent, the resulting authorization context is ambiguous under most current IAM implementations.”Ping Identity prepared to hold agents accountable-Andre Durand, CEO of Ping Identity, sums up the situation: “Identity remains foundational, but in an agentic environment it must operate continuously. Control must be enforced at the moment an action occurs.”As such, the research analysis proposes a reference architecture for governing AI agent identities in enterprise environments, consisting of four pillars: identity registration and lifecycle management, multi-tier authorization and access control, governance and oversight, and auditability with provenance. The approach is “grounded in identity, policy-based authorization, governance and oversight, along with accountability, extending identity and zero trust principles to support continuous, runtime authorization and governance.”Ping Identity’s Identity for AI product is designed to tackle these challenges. The company was recently recognized as an Overall Leader across multiple KuppingerCole Analysts Leadership Compass reports.DigiCert launches AI Trust architecture for AI agents, models, content-Utah-based DigiCert has introduced a new AI Trust architecture designed to help organizations secure AI systems and their outputs, according to a press release. It is also “unveiling new capabilities to help secure autonomous agents and AI models, along with separate capabilities to provide verifiable content authenticity.”The AI Trust architecture is a unified trust layer that spans AI agents, models and content, embedding cryptographic verification across the AI lifecycle to validate model integrity and establish content provenance.“AI has created a new trust challenge,” says Amit Sinha, CEO of DigiCert. “Organizations are relying on agents, models, and content they can’t always verify. At DigiCert, our purpose is to give people confidence in the security, privacy, and authenticity of their digital interactions. With our AI Trust solution, we help organizations confirm what’s real, secure, and approved so AI can be used with confidence.”DigiCert’s approach is laid out in a recent whitepaper, “The New Trust Architecture for AI.”VeryAI leverages palm biometrics to bind agents to users-The question of how to govern autonomous AI agents also underpins a new Know Your Agent (KYA) protocol from VeryAI. According to a release, the platform, called ag9, “is the only platform that combines reverse CAPTCHA capability with palm biometric identity verification to prove that a real machine is operating and a real human authorized it.”VeryAI’s mobile palm scan technology cryptographically binds an agent to a real, verified person using palm biometrics; platforms can then query in real time whether an agent is owned by a verified human, with a response in under two seconds. Meanwhile, ag9’s reverse CAPTCHA function challenges agents to prove they are legitimate, scoped, and operating in good faith.Says Zach Meltzer, CEO of VeryAI, “a single person can now deploy thousands of agents acting, transacting, and interacting autonomously with zero accountability. The question that platforms need to answer is, ‘Who or what is acting right now, and where does the responsibility lie?’ KYC wasn’t built to answer that. Ag9 is.”Accenture joins Hedera Council to govern DLT network-Accenture has joined Hedera Council, the governing body of the Hedera public network, a distributed ledger that uses a variant of proof of stake to reach consensus, rather than the proof-of-work consensus mechanisms used by traditional blockchain networks.A release says the company will contribute to the governance of the Hedera public network, operate a network consensus node, and “work with Hedera and its Council members to support the delivery of trust-based solutions for financial services institutions, government agencies, and large enterprises.”“The pace of agent-driven automation requires that enterprises reinvent their approaches to trust,” says Bryan Rich, Accenture’s global data and AI lead for health and public service. “The Hedera public network and its unique governance model enables government agencies and enterprises in regulated environments to transact in a transparent and auditable fashion, strengthening compliance with relevant policies.”
Malaysia’s MyDigital ID adds 29 partners as adoption grows-National digital id platform reaches 11M users and integrates across 100+ services as ecosystem expands-May 1, 2026, 1:09 pm EDT | Joel R. McConvey
Twenty-nine organizations have joined MyDigital ID, the Malaysian government’s decentralized digital ID system, in what a report calls “a significant step forward” for the country’s digital ecosystem.Malaysia has positioned MyDigital ID as the foundation for its ongoing digital transformation. The system is integrated across more than 100 applications in the public and private sectors. To date, more than 11 million users have registered.The Malaysian Reserve quotes Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who says “digital infrastructure today is no longer a supporting layer. It has become the backbone of how our nation functions.”“Trust, once built through physical presence and human interaction, is now being tested in a space that is borderless, fast-moving, and increasingly exposed to risk,” he says. “Online scams, identity theft, and data exploitation are no longer isolated incidents. They are organized, evolving, and affecting people across all levels of society.”“Without trust, digital progress loses its meaning. Without trust, adoption slows. And without trust, the very foundation of our digital economy becomes fragile.”Datuk Raja Nushirwan Zainal Abidin, chairman of the board of directors for MyDigital ID, says adoption is accelerating. “At its peak we recorded 142,000 registrations in a single day while operating at less than 40 percent of its total capacity. Login usage has nearly doubled. This is not merely growth in numbers, but a shift in behaviour.”He believes “digital identity in its truest sense matters only when it integrates seamlessly into daily life, secure, intuitive and dependable.” As such, metrics like returning users and more frequent engagements are encouraging signs.The new collaborations include organizations working in cybersecurity, the country’s welfare ecosystem, education and digital technology. The expanded network is expected to improve identity verification processes, reduce duplication and enhance trust in digital transactions.MyDigital ID has previously taken heat from auditors for issues around spending and governance.
Germany launches program to bring open source maintainers into standards bodies-Sovereign tech agency pilot will fund and train developers to participate in ISO, W3C and IETF standards work-May 1, 2026, 10:59 am EDT | Masha Borak
Tech experts who lead open source digital infrastructure projects rarely get to participate in developing technical standards, even though three-quarters of them actively rely on them. A new initiative from the Sovereign Tech Agency, a subsidiary of the German federal innovation office SPRIND, aims to change that by inviting open source maintainers to shape standards at major standard-setting organizations such as ISO and W3C.The organization launched the Sovereign Tech Standards network earlier this week. The pilot program will enable 10 open source maintainers to participate in standards development, with support including training, mentoring and financial compensation.“The Sovereign Tech Standards network closes the gap between those who write open standards and those who implement them,” says the organization. “This ensures that the technologies comprising our digital infrastructure remain interoperable, open, and grounded in real-world practice.”The Sovereign Tech Agency was established in 2022 to strengthen digital sovereignty by supporting open digital infrastructure. The initiative is linked to the EU’s push towards digital sovereignty, which aims to reduce reliance on U.S. technology providers and boost competitiveness.The Agency is in charge of a Sovereign Tech Fund, which supports foundational open source components such as libraries, protocols, and development tools – technology that operates below the application layer and is usually difficult to monetize.The fund, established by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, has so far invested 37.3 million euros (US$43.8 million), supporting technology projects such as Mastodon, the Python Software Foundation, Fedify and more. In parallel, the organization is exploring collaboration with the German industry and with ZenDiS, the German Center for Digital Sovereignty, which is focused on public administration.The Sovereign Tech Standards initiative aims to close the gap between those who write open standards and those who implement them, according to the organization.“The Sovereign Tech Standards network will advance how open standards are created by involving the experts closest to the code,” says the announcement.The program is open to active maintainers of open source digital infrastructure projects whose work connects to standards developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).The deadline to apply for the program is May 19th, 2026.
Aware’s Q1 2026 reflects transition to biometric orchestration platform focus-May 1, 2026, 10:52 am EDT | Chris Burt
Aware reports $3.4 million in revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, down slightly from $3.6 million in the same quarter a year ago, as the company transitions to a focus on its unified biometric orchestration platform.The company sees rising demand in biometrics orchestration across the government and enterprise markets, and draws further confidence from its results in Track 3 of the DHS Remote Identity Validation Rally.Severance costs contributed to high operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA loss, but Aware expects lower operating expenses going forward to lift its bottom line.
Austria adds digital student id to eAusweise wallet with Youniqx Identity-Credential available via eAusweise app as universities decide adoption and use cases-May 1, 2026, 10:50 am EDT | Masha Borak
Austria has rolled out a digital student identification card with the help of its technology partner Youniqx Identity, which has made the credential available through the country’s national digital ID wallet, eAusweise.The digital student ID became accessible to every student at universities and colleges in April. Each public university, however, will decide individually whether it will accept it and for what specific use cases.The card consolidates personal data from physical student cards into an electronic credential that students can display and use through the eAusweise app on their smartphones. Verification can be carried out either within the same app or through the anonymous peer-to-peer eAusweis Check solution.The digital student ID was created for the Austrian Federal Computing Centre (BRZ) and is the latest addition to the portfolio of digital ID documents developed by Youniqx Identity for the eAusweise app. As a subsidiary of the Austrian State Printing Company (OSD), the Vienna-based firm has also created the country’s mobile driving license (mDL) and other eAusweise documents.“The rollout of the digital student ID demonstrates how Youniqx Identity can deliver individually adapted solutions to current public-sector and customer needs,” says the company’s CEO Sebastian Zehetbauer.Late last year, Youniqx also won a Europe‑wide tender to develop the technical infrastructure for Germany’s implementation of the EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet). The company will lead a consortium comprising A1 Digital International, CRYPTAS Group and msg group.
Europe seeks to ‘take charge’ of its own defense as US to cut presence of troops-EU foreign policy chief says timing of Trump’s decision to pull forces from Germany was surprise, while NATO chief acknowledges US disappointment with European reaction to Iran war By MARK CARLSON and LORNE COOK Today, 11:16 am-MAY 4,26
YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) — European leaders on Monday said that US President Donald Trump’s snap decision to pull thousands of US troops out of Germany came as a surprise but is a fresh sign that Europe must take care of its own security.The Pentagon announced last week that it would pull some 5,000 troops out of Germany, but Trump told reporters on Saturday that “we’re going to cut way down. And we’re cutting a lot further than 5,000.”He offered no reason for the move, which blindsided NATO, but his decision came amid an escalating dispute with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz over the US-Israeli war on Iran, and Trump’s anger that European allies have been reluctant to get involved in the conflict in the Middle East.Asked about the decision to pull out 5,000 troops from Germany, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said, “I wouldn’t exaggerate that because I think we are expecting that Europe is taking more charge of its own security.“I do not see those figures as dramatic, but I think they should be handled in a harmonious way inside the framework of NATO,” he told reporters in Yerevan, Armenia, where European leaders are holding a summit.The European Union’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, said, “there has been a talk about withdrawal of US troops for a long time from Europe. But of course, the timing of this announcement comes as a surprise.”“I think it shows that we have to really strengthen the European pillar in NATO,” she said.Asked whether she believes that Trump is trying to punish Merz, who said that the US has been humiliated by Iran in talks to end the war, Kallas said: “I don’t see into the head of President Trump, so he has to explain it himself.”Over the weekend, NATO spokesperson Allison Hart said that officials at the 32-nation military alliance “are working with the US to understand the details of their decision on force posture in Germany.”European allies and Canada have known since just after he came to office again last year that Trump would pull troops out of Europe — indeed some left Romania in October — but US officials had pledged to coordinate any moves with their NATO allies to avoid creating a security vacuum.NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte played down the move, saying that “there has been at this point disappointment on the US side” about European support for the war on Iran.Notably, France, Spain, and the UK have declined to give US forces free rein to use bases on their territory to attack Iran. Spain has denied them the use of its airspace and bases there for the war.But Rutte, who has championed Trump’s leadership at NATO despite the US president’s criticism of the majority of the allies, said: “I would say the Europeans have heard a message. They are now making sure that all the bilateral basing agreements are being implemented.”Rutte added that European nations “have decided to pre-position assets, key assets, close to the theater for the next phase.”He provided no details, but the Europeans have insisted they would not help police the Strait of Hormuz, a key energy trade route, until the war is over.
