Russell Brand: YouTube suspends monetisation of star’s channel

Russell Brand: YouTube suspends monetisation of star’s channel

International, Science & Technology
YouTube has said it has "suspended monetisation" on Russell Brand's channel for "violating" its "creator responsibility policy". The online platform said it was taking action "to protect" its users. The Metropolitan Police has received a report of an alleged sexual assault in 2003 in the wake of allegations in the media about the star. Over the weekend the comedian and actor was accused of rape and sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013, which he denies. "If a creator's off-platform behaviour harms our users, employees or ecosystem, we take action," said a YouTube spokesperson on Tuesday. The move comes after the remaining shows of Brand's Bipolarisation tour were postponed. Russell Brand gives a sobering reminder of the noughtiesRussell Brand: Police receive sexual assau...

Elon Musk: Social media platform X could go behind paywall

Elon Musk: Social media platform X could go behind paywall

International, Science & Technology
Elon Musk has suggested that all users of X, formerly called Twitter, may have to pay for access to the platform. In a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the billionaire said a payment system was the only way to counter bots. "We're moving to having a small monthly payment for use of the system," the Tesla and SpaceX boss said. The BBC approached X for further details but has not yet received a statement from the company. It is unclear whether this was just an off-the-cuff comment, or a signal of firmer plans that have yet to be announced. Mr Musk has long said that his solution for getting rid of bots and fake accounts on the social media platform is charging for verification. Since taking over Twitter last year he has looked to incentivise use...

TikTok fined €345m over children’s data privacy.

TikTok fined €345m over children’s data privacy.

International, Science & Technology
Irish regulators have fined TikTok €345m (£296m) for violating children's privacy. The complaint concerned how the social media app handled children's data in 2020 - particularly around age verification and privacy settings. It is the biggest fine to date TikTok has received from regulators. A spokesperson for the social media firm said it "respectfully disagree[s] with the decision, particularly the level of the fine imposed". "The criticisms are focused on features and settings that were in place three years ago, and that we made changes to well before the investigation even began, such as setting all under 16 accounts to private by default," they said. The fine was issued by Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDP...

Accra-Tema Motorway tollbooths decommissioning underway.

Ghana News
Partial decommissioning of tollbooths on the motorway The Ghana Highway Authority (GHA) has partially decommissioned the tollbooths on the Accra-Tema Motorway. The decommissioning involved the pulling down of the original booths that sit on the motorway to pave the way for easy flow of traffic. Officials have since opened some of the decommissioned lanes to traffic, with the metal canopies that cover the tollbooths expected to be removed in subsequent days. The decommissioning forms part of an enhanced road safety programme by the authority. The tollbooths became a hazard when the toll system was shelved in November 2021. The area, which was usually unlit had contributed to a few crashes, some recording fatalities. As of 4 p.m. yesterday, officials of the GHA and a th...

DVLA launches initiative to train and license tertiary students on campus.

DVLA launches initiative to train and license tertiary students on campus.

Ghana News
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) is partnering with the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), to train and provide drivers’ licenses to students at the university, while they are still on campus. The objective of the ‘Tertiary Drive Initiative’ is to ensure that all interested students at the university graduate with a driver’s license. The aim was to provide a package that would give the students additional skills and extra advantage on the job market while easing the struggles that were often associated with the acquisition of a driver’s license after graduation. The initiative would also offer students who already have their driver’s licenses, to build their capacities for renewals and upgrading at their own schedule, without compromising...

iPhone 15: Apple forced to ditch lightning charger.

International, Science & Technology, World News
The iPhone 15 has been given a brighter screen and improved camera system Apple has confirmed its new iPhone will not feature its proprietary lightning charging port, after the EU forced the change. The tech giant said that the iPhone 15, unveiled at its annual event on Tuesday, would use a USB-C cable as the "universally accepted standard". A new Apple Watch series was also unveiled with a more advanced chip. But one analyst said a lack of "headline-grabbing" updates from Apple this year would disappoint some. "It isn't a surprise given the maturity of the iPhone and Watch," said Ben Wood from CCS Insight. "It reflects just how refined the iPhone and Watch devices are and how tough it has become to deliver truly disruptive updates every year." Apple released a USB-C-...

Libya floods: Flooded city buries its dead in mass graves.

Libya floods: Flooded city buries its dead in mass graves.

Africa News
Bodies recovered from a devastating flood which wiped out parts of the port city of Derna in eastern Libya have been buried in mass graves. At least 2,300 people died when a tsunami-like river of floodwater swept through Derna on Sunday after a dam burst during Storm Daniel. A mechanical digger worked in a cemetery where victims wrapped in body bags and blankets were buried together. With 10,000 people reported missing, the death toll is expected to rise. Mohammed Qamaty, a volunteer in Derna, said rescue workers were still searching for victims. “We call on all the young Libyans, anyone who has a degree or any medical affiliation to please come and help us,” he told Reuters news agency. “We have a shortage in nurses, we need help.” Some aid has started to arrive, includ...

10,000 missing after devastating floods in Libya – IFRC

Africa News
Derna is one of the hardest hit places. Around 10,000 people are thought to be missing following major floods in Libya according to an official from the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). "We can confirm from our independent sources of information that the number of missing people is hitting 10,000 so far," said Tamer Ramadan, the head of the IFRC delegation in Libya. Widespread flooding and mudslides caused by torrential rain have destroyed many roads and homes. The worst-affected place is the port of Derna, much of which is under water after two dams and four bridges collapsed. "The death toll is huge and might reach thousands," added Mr Ramadan. The IFRC could soon launch an appeal for emergency funding to support Libya's floo...
