Northern Ireland’s police publish personal data of entire force by mistake

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:18 GMT

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has opened an investigation after it published a spreadsheet containing the personal data of its officers and civilian workforce by mistake, a senior officer said Tuesday.“The data concerned contained the surnames and initials of current employees alongside the location and department within which they work,” Assistant Chief Constable Chris Todd said in a statement, adding that the breach “resulted from information included in error in response to a Freedom of Information Request.”“Although it was made available as a result of our own error, anyone who did access the information before it was taken down is responsible for what they do with it next. It is important that data anyone has accessed is deleted immediately,” the officer said.The data breach is particularly sensitive given members of the PSNI have been targeted by republican paramilitaries in Northern Ireland in recent months. In February, a d...

With left and right-wing forces technically tied in the Spanish parliament, the country’s next government now depends on the support of seven lawmakers of the separatist Junts party — which Puigdemont founded and controls remotely.From his suburban home in the quaint Walloon town of Waterloo, located just a stone’s throw from the battlefields where Napoleon’s defeat determined Europe...

How Pedro Grifol made use of his 1-game suspension for Monday’s Chicago White Sox game: ‘It was pretty valuable’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:18 GMT

Pedro Grifol took in Monday’s Chicago White Sox game from a different vantage point.Serving a one-game suspension as part of the fallout from Saturday’s Sox-Cleveland Guardians brawl, Grifol watched the series opener against the New York Yankees from Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf’s suite at Guaranteed Rate Field.He tried to make the most of the view.“That saying that the farther you are away from the game, the slower it is or the easier it gets? It looked pretty slow and pretty easy from up there,” Grifol said before Tuesday’s game. “It was pretty nice. I was able to see a lot of things that I think are really important for our growth, fundamental things that we probably need to address.“Obviously I didn’t want to (not be managing). But I took advantage of a different look to see some things that I wanted to address.”Grifol was one of six individuals to receive suspensions from Major League Baseball after the incident. That list...

Niger’s military junta, 2 weeks in, digs in with cabinet appointments and rejects talks

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:18 GMT

NIAMEY, Niger (AP) — As a military junta in Niger marked two weeks in power Wednesday, its leaders are appointing a government and rejecting calls for negotiation in what analysts described as an attempt to entrench their power and show that they’re serious about governing the West Africa country in the face of an escalating regional crisis.The junta has named a new prime minister and made a slew of other new cabinet appointments. They also refused to admit mediation teams that planned to come Tuesday from the United Nations, the African Union, and West African regional bloc ECOWAS, citing “evident reasons of security in this atmosphere of menace,” according to a letter seen by The Associated Press. ECOWAS threatened to use military force if the junta didn’t reinstate Bazoum by Sunday, a deadline that the junta ignored. “The establishment of a government is significant, and signals at least to the population, that they have a plan in place, with support from across the g...

Nagasaki marks 78th anniversary of atomic bombing with mayor urging world to abolish nuclear weapons

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:18 GMT

TOKYO (AP) — Nagasaki marked the 78th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing of the city Wednesday with the mayor urging world powers to abolish nuclear weapons, saying nuclear deterrence also increases risks of nuclear war. Shiro Suzuki made the remark after the Group of Seven industrial powers adopted a separate document on nuclear disarmament in May that called for using nuclear weapons as deterrence.“Now is the time to show courage and make the decision to break free from dependence on nuclear deterrence,” Nagasaki Mayor Shiro Suzuki said in his peace declaration Wednesday, “As long as states are dependent on nuclear deterrence, we cannot realize a world without nuclear weapons.”Russia’s nuclear threat has encouraged other nuclear states to accelerate their dependence on nuclear weapons or enhance capabilities, further increasing the risk of nuclear war, and that Russia is not the only one representing the risk of nuclear deterrence, Suzuki said.The United States dropped t...

Bahrain prison inmates on hunger strike in latest sign of simmering unrest in island kingdom

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:18 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Bahrain prison inmates are taking part in a hunger strike over conditions there, activists and authorities said Wednesday, the latest sign of simmering unrest in the island kingdom a decade after the Arab Spring. The strike targets the Jaw Rehabilitation and Reform Center, a facility holding many of the prisoners identified by human rights activists as dissidents who oppose the rule of the Al Khalifa family. The country’s Sunni rulers long have faced complaints from the island’s Shiite majority of discrimination. In a statement published by the outlawed Al-Wefaq opposition group, the prisoners said they started the hunger strike over what it described as prison officials blocking inmates from worshipping and 23-hour lockdowns daily. It also alleged prison officials put inmates in isolation arbitrarily, interfered with family visits and provided inadequate health care to those incarcerated. “Our demands are not trifles, but very necessar...
