US, UK and Australia to develop underwater drone technology

BBC News

The US, UK and Australia say they will develop underwater drone technology to protect undersea cables and boost defence, under their military alliance known as Aukus. The uncrewed undersea vehicle (UUV) technology is expected to be ready by next year. While the project's total cost was not stated, British defence secretary John Healey said the UK would contribute £150m ($201m). The announcement, made by the countries' defence ministers at a security summit in Singapore, follows claims of slow progress in Aukus's projects. Acknowledging the criticism, Healey said for too long in Aukus, we talked too much and delivered too little, adding that has now changed under our three governments.

Japan to set special aid category for community-based startups

The Japan Times

Japan's internal affairs ministry plans to set a special category under its existing support program for community-based startups, in order to back up projects using artificial intelligence. The ministry aims to promote what is known as AI transformation, in which companies reform themselves by placing AI at the center. It will request related funds under the central government's fiscal 2027 budget. Under the new category, the central and local governments will provide aid to regional companies that launch new businesses using unsecured loans from regional financial institutions to help curb the initial costs, including for facility construction and equipment purchases. The central government will provide special tax grants to local governments as resources for their aid to such businesses. A larger amount of loans from local financial institutions will lead to greater aid from the central and local governments.

After decades risking arrest, South Korea's tattoo artists step into the limelight

BBC News

After decades risking arrest, South Korea's tattoo artists step into the limelight When Kim Tae-nam took the stage last Saturday in Seoul, it was a moment he had long been waiting for - the career he had chosen was no longer illegal. He couldn't stop smiling, the relief spilling into his voice: This was only possible because of our effort, all your sweat and tears. Let's hear it from everyone: Tattoos are art! They had gathered on a rooftop in Seongsu, a hip Seoul neighbourhood, for Ink Bomb: more than 90 local tattooists and artists openly celebrating body art, which had thrived in the shadows for decades. Just days before, South Korea's top court had overturned its 1992 ruling that defined tattooing as a medical act - bringing to an end Korean tattooists' decades-long fight for legitimacy.

Of course, teams coming into Game 5 with a 3-1 lead are historically almost guaranteed to move on to the Stanley Cup Final; the Canes are not going to get ahead of their skis. Hurricanes forward Jackson Blake, who scored the OT-winner to sweep the Philadelphia Flyers and send Carolina to the conference final, talked about the need to focus on the game tonight and not start thinking ahead to the Western Conference Champion Vegas Golden Knights. It's exciting for sure, Blake said.

As the two New York Giants teammates passed each other, they embraced. The Giants want the world to know there is no beef inside their locker room in general, or between the two players in particular despite the fact the starting quarterback supports Trump and the blossoming defensive lineman has an obvious distaste for the president. But there's a catch amid all this understanding: While these two guys may not dislike each other, they do not agree. Giants linebacker Abdul Quarter says there is no beef between him and quarterback Jaxson Dart after he made an appearance at an event featuring President Donald Trump.

When you surround yourself with college football and make it part of your livelihood, you will no doubt hear and read every narrative under the sun with regard to the world's greatest sport. Most of them don't even deserve a second look and are baseless conspiracy theories, but a few exist in that uncanny realm between fact and fiction. One that has caught my eye comes from the perpetrators of the SEC is washed crowd, more specifically those who call out the program that has ruled the conference for the first half of this decade, the Georgia Bulldogs. I can't tell you how many times I've seen fans on social media and even college football talking heads run with the narrative that the Dawgs have lost their edge since paying players became legal .
