Singapore police trialling mounted cameras on K-9 unit dogs

The camera system also includes thermal imaging capability, which means officers can see human heat signatures through the handheld monitor.  This may be useful in search operations where people are hidden in confined spaces, behind structures or other physical barriers, said SPF in the factsheet.  Infrared light-emitting diodes, which can capture clear footage in dark environments without emitting visible light, are built into the system. This ensures the dog’s position is not compromised, said the police.  The microphone also allows two-way communication between the officers and a person, allowing the police to relay specific instructions or warnings.

‘World Cup is brutal’, says Cannavaro after Uzbekistan exit

‘World Cup is brutal’, says Cannavaro after Uzbekistan exit

ATLANTA, June 27 : Uzbekistan manager Fabio Cannavaro knows all about the beauty of the World Cup, having led Italy to success as captain, but after seeing his side lose all three games and exit the tournament, he reminded people of his warning about how brutal it can be. Cannavaro’s team came into Saturday’s final Group K game on the back of defeats by Colombia and Portugal in which they conceded eight goals and his side fell to a 3-1 loss against Democratic Republic of Congo, who reached the knockout rounds. The Italian coach was asked why he was smiling after the 5-0 defeat by Portugal and again following the DR Congo loss. “You think I’m not nervous, I’m not angry? I don’t feel good because I don’t like to lose,” Cannavaro told reporters. “We made some mistakes, of course, but I cannot complain about my players. I never will complain about my players because I know and I told you, you were in the press conference and you know what I said the first …

Trump threats to ‘complete the job’ in warning message to Iran | World | News

President Trump has threatened to ‘complete the job’ and make sure ‘Iran will no longer exist’ in a warning message after fresh strikes on Iran. “United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN! It is very possible that they will never learn!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!” The warning comes after the US Central Command said it launched retaliatory strikes after Tehran allegedly attacked a commercial oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz using drones. The US military said Saturday it had struck 10 targets in Iran at President Trump’s direction. The US Central Command, in a post to social media, said that a US military aircraft targeted Iranian military “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and …

Heat no problem for passionate Brazil fans waiting to greet team in Houston

HOUSTON, June 27 : Sweltering temperatures and a long wait posed no problem for hundreds of Brazil fans who stood for hours in the sun on Saturday to welcome their favourite players to Houston as they arrived for their World Cup Round of 32 clash against Japan.

When the players finally emerged …

Donald Trump slammed ‘moron’ after announcing new US passport | World | News

Donald Trump has been slammed a ‘moron’ after unveiling a new commemorative passport online, featuring a photo of himself. The new limited edition US passport has been designed to commemorate America’s 250th birthday and Trump shared a photo of the newly designed pages on his social media.

Iran, US continue escalating attacks, recriminations over peace deal

Iran, US continue escalating attacks, recriminations over peace deal

CAIRO: Iran and the US continued their attacks in the Gulf as each accused the other of violating an interim deal signed less than two weeks ago to end their four-month-old war.  Shortly after President Donald Trump warned the US might “militarily complete the job”, Iran early on Sunday launched missiles and drones on US military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain, continuing a series of escalating attacks.  The US military said earlier it had struck Iran again, hours after a tanker was hit in the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most important energy shipping route, which Iran had largely cut off for most of the conflict.  The 14-point US-Iran interim agreement was meant to halt the fighting, which the US and Israel started on Feb 28, and reopen the strait to shipping while talks began on more deep-seated issues, such as Iran’s nuclear programme. VIOLENCE, RECRIMINATIONS FOLLOW PEACE DEAL, US-IRAN TALKS  One round of mediated talks, led by Vice President JD Vance and Iran’s Parliamentary Speaker, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, was held in Switzerland a week …

Vlasic header sends Croatia into World Cup knockouts with 2-1 win over Ghana

Vlasic header sends Croatia into World Cup knockouts with 2-1 win over Ghana

PHILADELPHIA: Nikola Vlasic headed in Luka Modric’s 83rd-minute corner to lift Croatia to a 2-1 victory over Ghana on Saturday (Jun 27) and a second-place finish in World Cup Group L. Vlasic’s perfect finish off the inside of the left post came 10 minutes after Derrick Luckassen had pulled Ghana level on his international debut, with half the time in between spent on a VAR review determining whether he was onside.  Petar Susic scored early for Croatia, who needed only a draw to reach the last 32.  Claiming the second-place spot guaranteed the 2022 third-place finishers a meeting with the second-placed team in Group K, most likely Portugal or Colombia, on Thursday in Toronto. Ghana, who finished third in the group, were already assured of qualification and will meet the winners of Group K, Portugal or Colombia, on Friday in Kansas City. Susic gave Croatia a deserved lead after 31 minutes with a long-range strike into the bottom left corner. Ghana were much improved in the second half, but Luckassen’s 73rd-minute goal was their first effort …
