SparkCat Crypto Stealer Malware Infected Multiple Apps on Play Store, App Store
SparkCat Crypto Stealer Malware Infected Multiple Apps on Play Store, App Store
Several apps on the App Store and Google Play store were found to be infected with a crypto stealer malware by security researchers at Kaspersky. These applications reportedly included a malicious software development kit (SDK) that was designed to use optical character recognition (OCR) to steal “crypto wallet recovery phrases” from screenshots stored on a user’s smartphone. It’s also worth noting that this is the first time that apps with cryptocurrency stealing malware have been detected on Apple’s App Store.
SparkCat Infected Apps Detected Crypto Wallet Recovery Phrases Stored Using Screenshots
In a detailed technical report published on Thursday, the researchers said that at least 18 Android applications were infected with the malicious SparkCat SDK, while the malicious framework was found in 10 iOS apps on the App Store. The cumulative download count on Android smartphones was over 2.42 lakh, according to the researchers.

Some of the infected applications appeared to be legitimate, while others (specifically messaging apps equipped with AI features) were published in order to tempt users to download the compromised application, as per the report. Meanwhile, Kaspersky said that some of the infected Android apps were still available to download via the Play Store at the time of publishing its report.
However, the researchers say that they cannot confirm whether the apps were infected by the developers on purpose, or whether they were impacted by a supply chain attack. Apple and Google have yet to publicly comment on the detection of these apps on their respective app stores.
Once installed on a user’s device, these malicious apps would use a OCR technology to detect and extract text from images stored on the handset. Once the app detects a recovery phrase for a cryptocurrency wallet, it would upload the picture to an Amazon cloud server and send a message to the attacker’s server to notify them when a recovery phrase is detected.
While Google and Apple have removed most of the apps detected by Kaspersky, users who have downloaded them will need to manually uninstall these applications. Meanwhile, it’s worth storing recovery phrases for crypto wallets and accounts in a password manager, or an application that stores encrypted notes. This is considerably safer than keeping screenshots that are easily accessible to apps that have been granted the ‘storage’ or ‘camera roll’ permission.

Hundreds of public transport passengers fined for no ticket during Labor’s free summer travel *******
Hundreds of public transport passengers fined for no ticket during Labor’s free summer travel *******
More than 1100 train and bus passengers have been hit with ticket fines during Labor’s free public transport summer.
Finishing on Wednesday, the summer ran from December 14, including the opening of the new Ellenbrook line, and saw 13 million boardings across the network.
But 1153 patrons were slugged a $100 fine for failing to tag on with their SmartRider, a requirement under the free travel *******.
The figures were down on the 2023-24 summer of free public transport from almost 4000, with the Public Transport Authority saying they believed passengers had grown accustomed to the need to tag on during the fare-free *******.
“Comprehensive advertising and increased awareness has seen an uptake in passengers using SmartRider cards during the free travel *******,” a spokeswoman said.
“As was advertised comprehensively, free travel was accessible only with a SmartRider.
“Patronage data captured by SmartRider is essential in helping the PTA run the network efficiently, and identify patrons if there is a security issue.”
The fines have been a thorny issue for Labor as it seeks to campaign on the free travel periods, with Liberal leader Libby Mettam announcing a policy to overturn and payback the fines if they are elected.
While the Government has announced it will cap all suburban fares at $2.80 if re-elected, the Greens announced a plan to make Perth’s public transport network “free and frequent”.
Greens MP Brad Pettitt said the party would seek to force Labor’s hand on free public transport in Government through the balance of power in the upper house.
“Investing in free and frequent public transport is a transformative way to make Perth much less car-dependent and much more sustainable as our population grows into the future,” Mr Pettitt said.
But the proposal was slammed by Premier Roger Cook who said the Greens were “a slogan”.
“The Greens are a slogan. They’re not a political party. They simply say anything that comes to their mind because they think it sounds good, but they’ll never be held accountable for the costs associated with their policies,” he said.
“They simply come up with an idea and say it, ‘Stick it on a bumper sticker’, and think that’s a system of public policy. It’s not. They’re simply a slogan.”

Jamie Dimon says he didn’t run for president because he knew winning the White House would mean barely seeing his family for 4 years
Jamie Dimon says he didn’t run for president because he knew winning the White House would mean barely seeing his family for 4 years
“It is subjecting your family to some very tough stuff,” JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon told David Novak on the “How Leaders Lead” podcast.Kevin Dietsch via Getty Images
Jamie Dimon said that while he “would never rule it out,” running for president is tough.
The JPMorgan CEO said in a podcast that being president would mean being away from his family.
“Some people are prepared for that, I was unprepared for it at the time,” Dimon said.
Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, said his family was one reason he did not run for president.
“I tell people, had I run and won, when I was walking into that White House, I’d be waving goodbye to my family for four years. They’d be saying, ‘See ya, dad,'” Dimon told David Novak on the latest episode of the “How Leaders Lead” podcast, which aired on January 30. “I’m not sure my wife would have gone with me, there.”
Dimon added that the presidency means “subjecting your family to some very tough stuff.”
“Some people are prepared for that, I was unprepared for it at the time,” Dimon said.
Dimon said that while he “would never rule it out,” running for president would be difficult for him because of other reasons, too.
“I do think there are skills that people have in the business world that may translate to the political world, but I think it’s a mistake to automatically think that’s true,” Dimon said, adding that he didn’t think he had the necessary political skills to make the transition.
That’s on top of the experience one should accrue from smaller political appointments before gunning for the presidency, Dimon told Novak.
“I literally think you should kind of have a warm-up before you go for president. A warm-up could be Congress, or Senate, or governor,” Dimon said. “You have seen people learn those skills before you go for the big enchilada.”
Running for president would also mean having to give up his job at JPMorgan, which he enjoys, Dimon said.
“I’m damn proud of it so — I think I add a lot here. I’d be giving that up for kind of a wild goose chase,” Dimon said.
Dimon’s age and health were also factors in his decision.
“I think it’s hard. I’m 68 years old. As you know, I have had a health problem or two. So when you put it together, it just didn’t seem like the right thing for me to do,” Dimon said.
In 2014, JPMorgan said Dimon had been diagnosed with throat *******, though it went into remission after treatment. In 2020, Dimon had another health scare — he was rushed to the hospital for emergency heart surgery.
Representatives for Dimon at JPMorgan did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
Story Continues
This isn’t the first time Dimon has been asked about his political ambitions. The 68-year-old banker said at an investors meeting in May that his retirement timeline was “not five years anymore,” and that a plan to name his successor was “well on its way.”
Then, in October, Dimon told analysts in an earnings call that he had no plans to join President Donald Trump’s second administration if he was offered a role.
“I think the chance of that is almost nil, and probably I’m not going to do it,” Dimon said.
“I intend to be doing what I’m doing — I almost guarantee I’ll be doing this — for a long ******* of time, or at least until the board kicks me out,” he added.

Nintendo confirms Switch 2 Nintendo Direct time
Nintendo confirms Switch 2 Nintendo Direct time
RiseNShine18d ago (Edited 18d ago )
i agree, i think Nintendo will keep the children / young adult market easily as usual, but adult / high income market now has a lot of options in the portable PC handhelds that were unthinkable when Switch 1 released.
For this market many of the Nintendo franchises aka Super Mario / Kirby / Smash Bros / Mario Kart etc are not too tempting, where these portable PCs offer more power / cheaper games using Steam / huge gaming library / emulation / Xbox Game Pass etc and you can even plug a mouse / kb and use them like a normal PC for office work, so that kind of customer may be no longer have a preference for Switch like with the first console.
I know because i’m there, i have a Rog Ally and i don’t have the slightest interest on the Switch 2, it can run any PC games easily, it’s an emulation beast even for PS3, Xbox 360, WiiU etc even ShadPS4 works fine with games like Bloodborne , i can do light work with it if need be, my current Steam library works fine and compared to Switch 2 BC, i know my games will be still playable in 10-15 years on any PC, so thanks but i’ll pass.

Trump’s plan for ‘hemispheric control’: Steve Bannon on why tariffs may only be the start – National
Trump’s plan for ‘hemispheric control’: Steve Bannon on why tariffs may only be the start – National
Sitting in the depths of Steve Bannon‘s chaotic War Room, Global News has an important question for the right-wing media mogul: How seriously should we be taking the president’s insistence that Canada should become the 51st state?
Very, apparently.
Bannon, a former top aide to U.S. President Donald Trump, says he knows exactly what’s going on. Dramatically shaking his rumpled grey hair, he tells me that we, Canadians, are “misreading the situation” before crossing his arms and launching into a spiel that he seems to have been waiting his whole life for — drawing from his experience serving in the navy, in the Pentagon and his master’s degree in national security studies.
He is unequivocal in his belief that Trump’s interest in Canada is strategic and geopolitical and that we’re missing the point by being fixated on tariffs and trolling.
“The world is now coming to Canada, and it’s coming in a big way,” Bannon says with a prophet’s conviction.
“You were isolated before. You’re not isolated now.”
Steve Bannon tells Global News from his War Room that Trump’s plans for Canada go beyond tariffs.
Ashleigh Stewart
That’s because, Bannon says, the Arctic is going to be the “new game of the 21st century” and a military weakness that he calls Canada’s “soft underbelly.”
Melting polar ice caps are making the far north more accessible to countries like Russia and China, meaning Canada has to do more to protect its vulnerable northern frontier — and, in turn, protect the U.S. And if Canada refuses, Bannon says, Trump will force us to. By annexing Greenland, retaking the Panama Canal and securing Canada’s northern border, Trump is apparently trying to establish a north-south economic and military corridor.
It’s all about “hemispheric control,” Bannon says.
Since asking Trump himself offers varying results, Global News sought out those with insight into how he thinks.

Trudeau responds to Trump’s 51st state remark, calls it a ‘distraction’
Even after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was offered a reprieve from a looming trade war, Trump continued to suggest Canada should just give up its sovereignty anyway. It’s clearly still on his mind.
So, all those jibes about “Governor Trudeau” and Canada as the “51st state”? Global News asks.
He’s not trolling, Bannon counters. He’s “really thought this through.”
“Let me be brutally frank. Geo-strategically, you don’t really have an option [but to join us] if you want your sovereignty because from the north, from the Arctic, it’s going to get encroached in a great power competition that you don’t have the ability to win.”
Bannon does not speak on behalf of the U.S. president. In fact, the two have a tangled history. Trump fired him from his role as White House chief strategist in 2018, after which Bannon went on to reinvent himself as the host of his War Room podcast and as one of the top evangelists of the MAGA movement.

But this populist and nationalist MAGA school of thought is closely aligned with Trump’s thinking — and it considers Trump its leader. The White House’s recent torrent of executive orders — cutting down on federal bureaucracy, waging a war on immigration and promoting economic nationalism — reflect Bannon’s guiding principles.
When we visit the War Room, a new intern (the granddaughter of his assistant of 40 years) has arrived to replace six producers who, he says, are all going to work for the new Trump administration.
As Bannon continues laying out Trump’s grand plan, he doesn’t attempt to conceal his pride that his underlings are going to work for his former boss.
“This is a major geostrategic job … Look at your northern border. You’re totally, completely exposed … it used to be your greatest defence. Now it’s your biggest vulnerability,” Bannon says.

Canada responds to Trump tariffs with tariffs of its own
Canada itself has long recognized the problem: Leaders have called beefing up security in the Arctic as the “most urgent and important task” facing the ********* Forces amid a changing geopolitical and physical landscape, thanks to climate change. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, too, has called for a joint Canada-U.S. NORAD base in Northern Canada to bolster Arctic security.
Both Trump detractors and disciples can see the rationale behind Trump’s supposed continental aspirations.
“It’s not a joke,” says Elliott Abrams, the longtime State Department official and Trump, Bush and Reagan administration veteran.
“Security experts here are talking a lot more about the Arctic than they were 10 years ago. That is the kind of thing that can be resolved by saying, ‘We have common interests, we’re going to work together closely … there is an escape hatch from this.’”
‘Canada is getting it all wrong’
Bannon’s War Room occupies the first floor of a stately red brick semi-detached near Capitol Hill in central Washington D.C., in the shadow of the Supreme Court of the United States. It seems an ironic location for Bannon’s command post, surrounded by the very institutions his anti-establishment, populist and nationalist movement rails against.
Even Trump is considered “a moderate” figure in the movement these days, Bannon says, compared to right-wing compatriots like himself, a convicted felon currently awaiting trial on charges that he duped donors who have money to build a wall along the southern U.S. border. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
“We’re the furthest right before you leave into the fever swamps,” he says.
Bannon also oversaw the Breitbart News website — a voice for the alt-right movement ranging from white supremacists, neo-Nazis and anti-Semites — before joining the 2016 Trump campaign. He’s been vocal of his frustrations and distrust of the “mainstream media.”
“We just had a sweeping victory and nobody can define populism here … the media looks at us as exotic animals in a zoo.”

Steve Bannon says four months in federal prison has only ’empowered’ him
There’s no doubt he’s an influential figure, but his enduring influence on the U.S. president is unclear. When asked how often he speaks to his former boss, he says, “Don’t you worry about that,” before conceding he has interviewed Trump only once in five years. When asked why so seldom, he says: “I don’t need to interview him.”
They do seemingly share a playbook, however. Trump’s unrelenting flow of executive orders and initiatives in the early days of his administration was famously described by Bannon in 2018 as “Flood[ing] the zone with sh*t.” They’re both guided by the same populist, nationalist beliefs.
And he’s eager to share his insight. First, on tariffs and why “Canada is getting it all wrong.”

“This isn’t a punitive tariff on a valve coming from Canada to Detroit. This is something very different,” Bannon says from behind a table with a podcast mic angled towards him, his lower half obscured behind a stack of paper and books.
A life-sized photograph of Bannon, surveying the horizon with a steely gaze, leans against a vast War Room flag, facing the space at a cluttered table where Bannon himself sits, wearing his real-life steely gaze. Behind him, placards of his quotes — “There are no conspiracies, but there are no coincidences” — and religious paraphernalia jostle for space.
“[Trump’s] saying, ‘Hey, America is the best market in the world, it’s a golden door. If you want to come in here, either ship your business here to manufacture, or you’re going to pay a big total tax. But if you’re inside the golden door, there’s no tariff.’”
But, from Bannon’s perspective, it remains unclear whether those tariffs are a tool of economic force being exerted over Canada to bend to Trump’s Arctic empire-building exercise or if it’s a way for Canada to buy into the protection the U.S. will offer from encroachments.
1:22
Denmark ready to talk to Trump over Greenland and ‘legitimate US security interests’
That is at its core, he says, behind several of Trump’s current obsessions. Having control over the Panama Canal means shipping routes are secured from the south. Building an “Iron Dome” — the U.S.-funded air defence system in Israel, which borrows, in part, from the Reagan administration’s ill-fated “Star Wars” initiative — secures the skies.
Annexing Greenland means a U.S. submarine base can be built to block the Russian navy from its bases in Murmansk and Arkhangelsk. Then, the Northwest Passage — a network of waterways that connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the ********* Arctic Archipelago — “changes the economics of trade with Asia, with Japan and East Asia and with that part of Russia,” Bannon says.
Renegotiating the CUSMA could make Mexico, the United States and Canada “one super economic entity.”
“And in that regard, that’s a game changer for Canada. President Trump gets a partnership with Greenland, secures the Panama Canal, and makes sure that they’re robust democracies like Bolsonaro in Brazil and Milei in Argentina. Then we’ve almost completed hemispheric defence.”
And, experts say, he has a point.
‘It’s not all smoke and mirrors’
Abrams is not in Trump’s inner circle. But he has held senior positions in three Republican administrations — Reagan, Bush and Trump. It was a controversial run; Abrams was reportedly up for Trump’s deputy secretary of state role but was denied for criticizing him. He was also convicted for lying to Congress over the Iran-Contra affair in the late 1980s.
These days, Abrams can be found at the Washington-based think-tank and deep establishment group, the Council on Foreign Relations, where he speaks to Global News.
Abrams is skeptical that Trump has a well-considered grand plan, the way Bannon believes. But he can see why the Arctic would be a big priority for the U.S. president.
Elliot Abrams says people should not dismiss Trump’s demands as “smoke and mirrors.”

“We are not going to be invaded by Russia. You might be,” he said, referring to Canada. “So how is it possible that you spend a smaller amount in the region?”
Canada’s federal government announced late last year that it was committing $34.7 million up front and $7 million ongoing over a total of five years to a new Arctic policy. That pales in comparison to Denmark’s recent pledge of $2B and a 2016 pledge from the U.S. for $5.2B.
Abrams questions why no one has been tapped to oversee Trump’s Iran policy, which may signal shifting priorities. He doesn’t know where all this is going but cautions Canada from disregarding Trump’s threats — tariffs or a play for its sovereignty — out of hand.
“I would not take the view that it’s nothing, that it’s all smoke and mirrors … because that outcome would be a defeat for him.
“Trump’s got to have something.”
2:08
Trump claims Trudeau said Canada would be ‘failed nation’ without U.S. trade imbalance
And as is often the case with Trump, his demands are shorthand for something else.
The U.S. president’s social media posts give a glimpse into his list of wants beyond what he’s saying out loud. On Sunday, he said billions were being spent to “subsidize Canada” and that “Canada should become our cherished 51st state.” That subsidy appears to be referencing the reported trade deficit of about $60 billion (not $250B as Trump repeatedly asserts).
A day later, he led a tweet about speaking with Trudeau, with incredulity, that “Canada doesn’t even allow U.S. banks to open or do business there,” before referencing fentanyl again.
********* officials have repeatedly said less than one per cent of fentanyl entering the U.S. comes from Canada.
But this scattershot approach is anything but improvised, says a former influential figure on foreign policy in the first Trump administration, who asked not to be named as he is advising this administration. Because, he says, Trump’s new foreign policy is incredibly well thought-out.
‘There’s been substantial planning by his people’
Trump’s 2016 foreign policy team was “inexperienced and very ill-prepared on foreign policy,” the influential official says. He’d focused on North Korea and Iran and “made a lot of mistakes.”
“This foreign policy is very, very different. It’s much broader and more sophisticated. There’s been substantial planning by his people and many think tanks, including ours,” the official said. But he does believe Canada has been “caught in the crosshairs” of Trump’s fixation on the southern border.
The official went on to reference Bannon’s blitzkrieg strategy.
“[All his planning] has enabled him to lay out a lot of initiatives all at once, like flooding the zone with ideas because there’s been so much preparation and so much trial by error from the first administration.”
2:31
Marco Rubio makes 1st foreign trip to Panama as new U.S. secretary of state
But if hemispheric defence is Trump’s grand aspiration, he is keeping those cards close to his chest. The official said he hadn’t “written any policy papers or talked to any Trump people about that.”
But, he admitted, Trump’s 51st state comments had “caught a lot of us off-guard.”
“But I don’t think either country wants this to go very far. I think that Trump might move on to other issues … and as he racks up some initial wins, even small ones, he’s going to use that as momentum to deal with ******* problems like the Middle East and the Ukraine war and dealing with China.”
But the trade disagreements are a major sticking point for Trump. Canada’s closed markets, such as supply management, are a long-held Trump irritant. The behemoth south of the border wants access to ********* markets for all kinds of goods and services, namely telecoms and banking.
2:08
Economic impact as Trump pauses tariffs on Canada for 30 days
“The U.S. has some genuine grievances with Canada. And while the border and fentanyl may be one of the issues …I’m not sure if those are the central issues,” says Christopher Hernandez-Roy, deputy director of the Americas Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C.
That extends to supply management, the digital services tax, the softwood lumber dispute and the bipartisan defence issue, among others.
“The Biden administration kind of tried to nudge Canada diplomatically, and the Trump administration is going to shock Canada into spending more on defence. It’s a question of making sure the Arctic is secure, making sure that NORAD modernization is on time and on budget. I’m sure they’re having conversations far beyond just fentanyl and migration across the border,” says Hernandez-Roy.
As for the tariffs, Hernandez-Roy says the move “makes no sense” because Canada is a bountiful source of critical minerals — critical for making semiconductors and in a range of defence applications, a market China had previously monopolized.
“It’s a self-defeating exercise if what you’re trying to do is make a fortress North America against China and Russia because Canada’s economy is intimately linked with that of the United States. And if you devastate that economy, which is export-dependent, Canada is going to have to look for other markets.
“And the only one that will win there is going to be China.”
But to the question of whether this punishment would push Canada toward China, Bannon has no coherent answer. It isn’t clear if that means they aren’t worried or haven’t thought about it.
He says Canada has “already been infiltrated by the CCP [******** ********** Party]” and that while “Canadians are well-meaning and nice and decent people, you have a hard time facing the hard issues.”
But, he wants to be clear: Trump thinks very favourably towards Canadians. He says it as if this might dull the blow of Canada’s current predicament.
“[Canada] is something we’ve talked about for years, at our first meeting. He holds Canada in very high esteem,” Bannon says.
“He’s always had a troubled relationship with Trudeau because, let me be blunt, you can quote me, he’s a punk. Yeah, he’s just a punk, and he’s much too close to the CCP.”

But he says the western provinces of Canada, and Danielle Smith, most notably, “really get it.” He says he met with many representatives from “Canada’s West,” and they were “all over different dinners I went to.”
He even had some around to the War Room, he says, but he won’t divulge who. But he does say they’re interested in partnering with the U.S. — even if the rest of the country is not.
“Before, strategically, you didn’t need the United States. They were nice to be an ally of — now you need us. It’s the only way to stop the great power competition, which you’re going to lose. Tell me how that’s going to play when Russia and China start making physical incursions into northern Canada … how are you guys going to respond? Are you going to lose northern Canada?
“Well, if you’re partners and/or part of the United States, you don’t have to worry about that because we’re not going to let that happen.”

Authorities re-open Turkey hotel lift shaft death
Authorities re-open Turkey hotel lift shaft death
Stuart Woodward
BBC News, Essex
Stuart Woodward/BBC
Barrister Michael Polak said he felt the Turkish police drew conclusions “a bit too quickly”
Turkish authorities have reopened their investigation into the death of a British man whose body was found at the bottom of a hotel lift shaft.
Tyler Kerry, 20, was on holiday with his family when he died at the Trendy Lara hotel in Kundu, near Antalya, in November 2024.
At the time, Turkish authorities said Mr Kerry, of Pitsea, Essex, had been drinking and that there was no evidence of “intervention” with his body, but his family believe he was murdered.
Michael Polak from Justice Abroad – who is representing Mr Kerry’s family – believes the Turkish police drew their conclusions “too quickly”.
‘Evidence lost’
Mr Kerry was on his first family holiday abroad with his grandparents, girlfriend and other relatives.
Less than 36 hours after arriving, he was found in the lift shaft in the basement level, wearing just a pair of boxer shorts and socks. Medics were unable to save him.
PA Media

Mr Kerry’s family said they were “disgusted” at the Turkish authorities’ handling of the situation, including the lift reportedly being put back into use for hotel guests just a few hours later.
International lawyer Michael Polak – who set up Justice Abroad to help British citizens navigate legal processes in foreign countries – said evidence in Mr Kerry’s case may have been lost.
“It was little bit worrying that the scene was cleaned up so quickly because that impedes investigations,” he told the BBC.
“If it was in the United Kingdom, you’d hope that they’d set up a cordoned-off area, they’d bring different experts in to gather all the evidence before any of it’s damaged.”
“We hope that we’ll still be able to find evidence and be able to help the family to find those answers they need,” the barrister said.
‘Second incident’
Mr Polak said Mr Kerry’s family had been contacted by another holidaymaker who stayed at the same hotel earlier in 2024, whose son was allegedly “beaten up” by security guards in the basement, very close to where Mr Kerry’s body was found a few months later.
“It does ring some alarm bells that something similar has happened at the same hotel in relation to the security and it’s something that, at the very least, needs to be investigated,” Mr Polak said.
A judge in Turkey has now instructed investigators to look into both Mr Kerry’s death and the alleged assault on the other holidaymaker, Mr Polak told the BBC.
“We are confident that they will do the right thing and they’ll look into this closely,” he said.
“Tourism is a huge part of the Turkish economy, especially in the Antalya area, so they’ll want to make sure that they are looking at this really properly.”
Mr Polak said he expected the hotel would cooperate with the investigation, and that the holiday operator Tui – who Mr Kerry’s holiday was booked under – “will want to look into the safety of the hotel if they are sending people [there] again and again”.

Tyler Kerry’s ******** took place on 25 January at Pitsea Crematorium
Mr Kerry’s family – who arranged a private autopsy to be carried out in addition to those which took place in Turkey and at the East London coroner’s service – are said to be “very pleased” that the case is being re-investigated, and are continuing to fundraise to help pay for legal costs.
An inquest was opened and adjourned in December into Mr Kerry’s death. The area coroner, Michelle Brown, said she was “in the hands of the Turkish authorities” who would “not engage with the *** coroner’s service at all”.
A spokesperson for the Presidency of Turkey told the BBC in a statement they “are deeply saddened by the loss of Tyler Kerry…” and that “the safety of millions of *** citizens who visit our country each year is of the highest priority.”
“Türkiye and the *** are participants in the European Convention on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters,” the spokesperson said, adding that they “will make their best efforts to assist the relevant authorities in the ***”.
Both the Trendy Lara hotel and Tui said it would be inappropriate to comment while the investigation is ongoing.

Donald Trump and the ‘X factor’ looming over Canada’s upcoming election – National
Donald Trump and the ‘X factor’ looming over Canada’s upcoming election – National
While Canada won a temporary reprieve from Donald Trump’s tariff threats on Monday, the mercurial U.S. president could still be a significant presence in the upcoming federal election.
The saying goes that a week is a long time in politics. In 2025, Trump’s first two weeks back in office has seemed like multiple lifetimes — at least in terms of the impact on the ********* political conversation.
The opposition Conservatives have been laying track for a year to make the upcoming election about the carbon tax. But with the threat of Trump’s tariffs hanging over Canada’s head and Liberal leadership frontrunners backing away from a consumer carbon price, the pressing political question appears who is best to lead the country through a potential trade war with our largest economic partner.
Dan Arnold was the Liberal Party’s lead pollster during the 2019 federal election — the last time Canadians went to the polls while Trump was in office. Arnold said that at the time, Trump had been in power for roughly three years and the North American Free Trade Agreement had been renegotiated, making the U.S. president a “secondary concern” for ********* voters.

It could be different this time around, according to Arnold.
“Elections are more often than not about the future than the past, so what happened in the past in 2019 was relevant, (but) now tariffs are the present and the future. And I think that’s … going to be a lot more on people’s minds because it’s ongoing, and also I think there’s probably more of a direct threat,” Arnold said in an interview with Global News.

Whoever ends up prime minister after the next election will have to get used to drinking through the American political firehose.
Trump and his team entered office just over two weeks ago with a flurry of executive orders — some believed to be unconstitutional by his critics — on everything from deporting undocumented immigrants to curtailing transgender rights to the U.S. leaving the World Health Organization.
They’ve also taken steps to fire federal employees, ending diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs across the government, declared a national border emergency and a national energy emergency, and issued a blanket pardon for demonstrators and far-right militias that stormed the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2020, while targeting the FBI agents who investigated their crimes.

Amidst the flood of executive actions, Trump also moved to impose blanket tariffs on all *********, ******** and ******** goods entering the U.S. It’s a political strategy that seems designed to overwhelm the opposition, American voters and even allied countries.

On Monday, the ******** and ********* governments were able to convince the administration to back down on the tariffs, at least temporarily — largely in exchange for border actions both countries had promised to do already.
Hamish Marshall, the Conservative Party’s national campaign director in 2019, said while he believes Trump will play a factor in the upcoming ********* campaign, affordability issues will remain top of mind for most voters.
“(Trump) was a useful bogeyman for the Liberals. I don’t think it so much changed a lot of minds, but it was a good way for the Liberals to motivate their base to come out and vote,” said Marshall in an interview.
“I think they’re going to try” to use Trump that way again, Marshall said.
“Whether it will work or not is another story … I think the cost of living is still going to be the dominant issue in the campaign.”
An Abacus Data poll released in mid-January found that 67 per cent of respondents listed “the rising cost of living” as the top issue facing Canada, followed by health care (40 per cent) and housing affordability and accessibility (38 per cent). The survey interviewed 1,500 Canadians from Jan. 9 to Jan. 14 and has a margin of error comparable to 2.3 per cent.
Dan Mader, who served as policy director for Erin O’Toole’s 2021 campaign, doesn’t anticipate that will change before the next general election, expected this spring shortly after Parliament resumes under a new Liberal prime minister.

“People have been thinking for quite a while about the possibility of Trump becoming president and the reality of him becoming president and how that will impact things … but some things are still going to be issues. Cost of living is still going to be an issue,” Mader said.
“Despite Liberal leadership candidates backing away from a consumer carbon price, how much they can be trusted for having it for so long and what impact on families anything else they do is going to have are still going to be issues, and still going to be issues that play to the Conservatives.”
But there does seem to be some movement in the national polling numbers, according to the latest survey Global News.
The Conservatives still enjoy a commanding lead at 41 per cent support nationwide, followed by the Liberal Party (28 per cent) and the New Democrats (16 per cent). But that’s an eight percentage point jump for the Liberals since Ipsos’ poll in early January, mostly at the expense of the Conservatives, who dropped five percentage points over the same *******. The NDP were down one percentage point.
The Ipsos poll was conducted between January 30 and February 3, and interviewed 1,000 voting-aged Canadians online. It is considered accurate within 3.8 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
Whether the movement can be attributed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s announcement he intends to step down, the looming threat of Donald Trump or some combination of the two is unclear.

There is another “X” factor those in Trump’s orbit could influence a ********* campaign, however. Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, who is now playing a central — and unelected — role in the Trump Administration’s push to slash the civil service and sharply curb government spending, has not been shy about meddling in foreign countries’ domestic affairs.
Musk has used his $44-billion soapbox, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, to support far-right parties in Italy, Germany and criticize the U.K.’s Labour government, and to encourage Trump to punish his native South Africa over “white genocide” conspiracy theories.
While Canada has no real equivalent to Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) or Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy (FdI), Musk has repeatedly praised Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and suggested he should be Canada’s next prime minister.
Most of the conversation around foreign interference in ********* elections have focused on hostile foreign powers attempting to covertly influence the country’s politics, but Musk’s interventions are very much overt. And while most Canadians are not on X — and more have been leaving since Musk’s takeover — internet chatter has a way of making itself into real-life conversations, according to Concordia professor Fenwick McKelvy.
“Content is constantly shared across platforms. It’s important to recognize that any one platform is part of a network of content circulating, and even if Twitter or X is not as influential as it once was, it’s still influential in certain circles and that content does still circulate across the internet,” said McKelvy, whose research includes social media and internet policy.
Story continues below advertisement
“It’s really quite exceptional.”
With a mere 17 days, Trump and his acolytes effectively upended the ********* political debate. And there’s more than 1,400 left in the U.S. president’s term.

Trump’s plan for ‘hemispheric control’: Steve Bannon on why tariffs may only be the start – National
Trump’s plan for ‘hemispheric control’: Steve Bannon on why tariffs may only be the start – National
Sitting in the depths of Steve Bannon‘s chaotic War Room, Global News has an important question for the right-wing media mogul: How seriously should we be taking the president’s insistence that Canada should become the 51st state?
Very, apparently.
Bannon, a former top aide to U.S. President Donald Trump, says he knows exactly what’s going on. Dramatically shaking his rumpled grey hair, he tells me that we, Canadians, are “misreading the situation” before crossing his arms and launching into a spiel that he seems to have been waiting his whole life for — drawing from his experience serving in the navy, in the Pentagon and his master’s degree in national security studies.
He is unequivocal in his belief that Trump’s interest in Canada is strategic and geopolitical and that we’re missing the point by being fixated on tariffs and trolling.
“The world is now coming to Canada, and it’s coming in a big way,” Bannon says with a prophet’s conviction.
“You were isolated before. You’re not isolated now.”
Steve Bannon tells Global News from his War Room that Trump’s plans for Canada go beyond tariffs.
Ashleigh Stewart
That’s because, Bannon says, the Arctic is going to be the “new game of the 21st century” and a military weakness that he calls Canada’s “soft underbelly.”
Melting polar ice caps are making the far north more accessible to countries like Russia and China, meaning Canada has to do more to protect its vulnerable northern frontier — and, in turn, protect the U.S. And if Canada refuses, Bannon says, Trump will force us to. By annexing Greenland, retaking the Panama Canal and securing Canada’s northern border, Trump is apparently trying to establish a north-south economic and military corridor.
It’s all about “hemispheric control,” Bannon says.
Since asking Trump himself offers varying results, Global News sought out those with insight into how he thinks.

Trudeau responds to Trump’s 51st state remark, calls it a ‘distraction’
Even after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was offered a reprieve from a looming trade war, Trump continued to suggest Canada should just give up its sovereignty anyway. It’s clearly still on his mind.
So, all those jibes about “Governor Trudeau” and Canada as the “51st state”? Global News asks.
He’s not trolling, Bannon counters. He’s “really thought this through.”
“Let me be brutally frank. Geo-strategically, you don’t really have an option [but to join us] if you want your sovereignty because from the north, from the Arctic, it’s going to get encroached in a great power competition that you don’t have the ability to win.”
Bannon does not speak on behalf of the U.S. president. In fact, the two have a tangled history. Trump fired him from his role as White House chief strategist in 2018, after which Bannon went on to reinvent himself as the host of his War Room podcast and as one of the top evangelists of the MAGA movement.

But this populist and nationalist MAGA school of thought is closely aligned with Trump’s thinking — and it considers Trump its leader. The White House’s recent torrent of executive orders — cutting down on federal bureaucracy, waging a war on immigration and promoting economic nationalism — reflect Bannon’s guiding principles.
When we visit the War Room, a new intern (the granddaughter of his assistant of 40 years) has arrived to replace six producers who, he says, are all going to work for the new Trump administration.
As Bannon continues laying out Trump’s grand plan, he doesn’t attempt to conceal his pride that his underlings are going to work for his former boss.
“This is a major geostrategic job … Look at your northern border. You’re totally, completely exposed … it used to be your greatest defence. Now it’s your biggest vulnerability,” Bannon says.
4:54
Canada responds to Trump tariffs with tariffs of its own
Canada itself has long recognized the problem: Leaders have called beefing up security in the Arctic as the “most urgent and important task” facing the ********* Forces amid a changing geopolitical and physical landscape, thanks to climate change. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, too, has called for a joint Canada-U.S. NORAD base in Northern Canada to bolster Arctic security.
Both Trump detractors and disciples can see the rationale behind Trump’s supposed continental aspirations.
“It’s not a joke,” says Elliott Abrams, the longtime State Department official and Trump, Bush and Reagan administration veteran.
“Security experts here are talking a lot more about the Arctic than they were 10 years ago. That is the kind of thing that can be resolved by saying, ‘We have common interests, we’re going to work together closely … there is an escape hatch from this.’”
‘Canada is getting it all wrong’
Bannon’s War Room occupies the first floor of a stately red brick semi-detached near Capitol Hill in central Washington D.C., in the shadow of the Supreme Court of the United States. It seems an ironic location for Bannon’s command post, surrounded by the very institutions his anti-establishment, populist and nationalist movement rails against.
Even Trump is considered “a moderate” figure in the movement these days, Bannon says, compared to right-wing compatriots like himself, a convicted felon currently awaiting trial on charges that he duped donors who have money to build a wall along the southern U.S. border. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
“We’re the furthest right before you leave into the fever swamps,” he says.
Bannon also oversaw the Breitbart News website — a voice for the alt-right movement ranging from white supremacists, neo-Nazis and anti-Semites — before joining the 2016 Trump campaign. He’s been vocal of his frustrations and distrust of the “mainstream media.”
“We just had a sweeping victory and nobody can define populism here … the media looks at us as exotic animals in a zoo.”

Steve Bannon says four months in federal prison has only ’empowered’ him
There’s no doubt he’s an influential figure, but his enduring influence on the U.S. president is unclear. When asked how often he speaks to his former boss, he says, “Don’t you worry about that,” before conceding he has interviewed Trump only once in five years. When asked why so seldom, he says: “I don’t need to interview him.”
They do seemingly share a playbook, however. Trump’s unrelenting flow of executive orders and initiatives in the early days of his administration was famously described by Bannon in 2018 as “Flood[ing] the zone with sh*t.” They’re both guided by the same populist, nationalist beliefs.
And he’s eager to share his insight. First, on tariffs and why “Canada is getting it all wrong.”

“This isn’t a punitive tariff on a valve coming from Canada to Detroit. This is something very different,” Bannon says from behind a table with a podcast mic angled towards him, his lower half obscured behind a stack of paper and books.
A life-sized photograph of Bannon, surveying the horizon with a steely gaze, leans against a vast War Room flag, facing the space at a cluttered table where Bannon himself sits, wearing his real-life steely gaze. Behind him, placards of his quotes — “There are no conspiracies, but there are no coincidences” — and religious paraphernalia jostle for space.
“[Trump’s] saying, ‘Hey, America is the best market in the world, it’s a golden door. If you want to come in here, either ship your business here to manufacture, or you’re going to pay a big total tax. But if you’re inside the golden door, there’s no tariff.’”
But, from Bannon’s perspective, it remains unclear whether those tariffs are a tool of economic force being exerted over Canada to bend to Trump’s Arctic empire-building exercise or if it’s a way for Canada to buy into the protection the U.S. will offer from encroachments.
1:22
Denmark ready to talk to Trump over Greenland and ‘legitimate US security interests’
That is at its core, he says, behind several of Trump’s current obsessions. Having control over the Panama Canal means shipping routes are secured from the south. Building an “Iron Dome” — the U.S.-funded air defence system in Israel, which borrows, in part, from the Reagan administration’s ill-fated “Star Wars” initiative — secures the skies.
Annexing Greenland means a U.S. submarine base can be built to block the Russian navy from its bases in Murmansk and Arkhangelsk. Then, the Northwest Passage — a network of waterways that connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the ********* Arctic Archipelago — “changes the economics of trade with Asia, with Japan and East Asia and with that part of Russia,” Bannon says.
Renegotiating the CUSMA could make Mexico, the United States and Canada “one super economic entity.”
“And in that regard, that’s a game changer for Canada. President Trump gets a partnership with Greenland, secures the Panama Canal, and makes sure that they’re robust democracies like Bolsonaro in Brazil and Milei in Argentina. Then we’ve almost completed hemispheric defence.”
And, experts say, he has a point.
‘It’s not all smoke and mirrors’
Abrams is not in Trump’s inner circle. But he has held senior positions in three Republican administrations — Reagan, Bush and Trump. It was a controversial run; Abrams was reportedly up for Trump’s deputy secretary of state role but was denied for criticizing him. He was also convicted for lying to Congress over the Iran-Contra affair in the late 1980s.
These days, Abrams can be found at the Washington-based think-tank and deep establishment group, the Council on Foreign Relations, where he speaks to Global News.
Abrams is skeptical that Trump has a well-considered grand plan, the way Bannon believes. But he can see why the Arctic would be a big priority for the U.S. president.
Elliot Abrams says people should not dismiss Trump’s demands as “smoke and mirrors.”
Getty
“We are not going to be invaded by Russia. You might be,” he said, referring to Canada. “So how is it possible that you spend a smaller amount in the region?”
Canada’s federal government announced late last year that it was committing $34.7 million up front and $7 million ongoing over a total of five years to a new Arctic policy. That pales in comparison to Denmark’s recent pledge of $2B and a 2016 pledge from the U.S. for $5.2B.
Abrams questions why no one has been tapped to oversee Trump’s Iran policy, which may signal shifting priorities. He doesn’t know where all this is going but cautions Canada from disregarding Trump’s threats — tariffs or a play for its sovereignty — out of hand.
“I would not take the view that it’s nothing, that it’s all smoke and mirrors … because that outcome would be a defeat for him.
“Trump’s got to have something.”
2:08
Trump claims Trudeau said Canada would be ‘failed nation’ without U.S. trade imbalance
And as is often the case with Trump, his demands are shorthand for something else.
The U.S. president’s social media posts give a glimpse into his list of wants beyond what he’s saying out loud. On Sunday, he said billions were being spent to “subsidize Canada” and that “Canada should become our cherished 51st state.” That subsidy appears to be referencing the reported trade deficit of about $60 billion (not $250B as Trump repeatedly asserts).
A day later, he led a tweet about speaking with Trudeau, with incredulity, that “Canada doesn’t even allow U.S. banks to open or do business there,” before referencing fentanyl again.
********* officials have repeatedly said less than one per cent of fentanyl entering the U.S. comes from Canada.
But this scattershot approach is anything but improvised, says a former influential figure on foreign policy in the first Trump administration, who asked not to be named as he is advising this administration. Because, he says, Trump’s new foreign policy is incredibly well thought-out.
‘There’s been substantial planning by his people’
Trump’s 2016 foreign policy team was “inexperienced and very ill-prepared on foreign policy,” the influential official says. He’d focused on North Korea and Iran and “made a lot of mistakes.”
“This foreign policy is very, very different. It’s much broader and more sophisticated. There’s been substantial planning by his people and many think tanks, including ours,” the official said. But he does believe Canada has been “caught in the crosshairs” of Trump’s fixation on the southern border.
The official went on to reference Bannon’s blitzkrieg strategy.
“[All his planning] has enabled him to lay out a lot of initiatives all at once, like flooding the zone with ideas because there’s been so much preparation and so much trial by error from the first administration.”
2:31
Marco Rubio makes 1st foreign trip to Panama as new U.S. secretary of state
But if hemispheric defence is Trump’s grand aspiration, he is keeping those cards close to his chest. The official said he hadn’t “written any policy papers or talked to any Trump people about that.”
But, he admitted, Trump’s 51st state comments had “caught a lot of us off-guard.”
“But I don’t think either country wants this to go very far. I think that Trump might move on to other issues … and as he racks up some initial wins, even small ones, he’s going to use that as momentum to deal with ******* problems like the Middle East and the Ukraine war and dealing with China.”
But the trade disagreements are a major sticking point for Trump. Canada’s closed markets, such as supply management, are a long-held Trump irritant. The behemoth south of the border wants access to ********* markets for all kinds of goods and services, namely telecoms and banking.
2:08
Economic impact as Trump pauses tariffs on Canada for 30 days
“The U.S. has some genuine grievances with Canada. And while the border and fentanyl may be one of the issues …I’m not sure if those are the central issues,” says Christopher Hernandez-Roy, deputy director of the Americas Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C.
That extends to supply management, the digital services tax, the softwood lumber dispute and the bipartisan defence issue, among others.
“The Biden administration kind of tried to nudge Canada diplomatically, and the Trump administration is going to shock Canada into spending more on defence. It’s a question of making sure the Arctic is secure, making sure that NORAD modernization is on time and on budget. I’m sure they’re having conversations far beyond just fentanyl and migration across the border,” says Hernandez-Roy.
As for the tariffs, Hernandez-Roy says the move “makes no sense” because Canada is a bountiful source of critical minerals — critical for making semiconductors and in a range of defence applications, a market China had previously monopolized.
“It’s a self-defeating exercise if what you’re trying to do is make a fortress North America against China and Russia because Canada’s economy is intimately linked with that of the United States. And if you devastate that economy, which is export-dependent, Canada is going to have to look for other markets.
“And the only one that will win there is going to be China.”
But to the question of whether this punishment would push Canada toward China, Bannon has no coherent answer. It isn’t clear if that means they aren’t worried or haven’t thought about it.
He says Canada has “already been infiltrated by the CCP [******** ********** Party]” and that while “Canadians are well-meaning and nice and decent people, you have a hard time facing the hard issues.”
But, he wants to be clear: Trump thinks very favourably towards Canadians. He says it as if this might dull the blow of Canada’s current predicament.
“[Canada] is something we’ve talked about for years, at our first meeting. He holds Canada in very high esteem,” Bannon says.
“He’s always had a troubled relationship with Trudeau because, let me be blunt, you can quote me, he’s a punk. Yeah, he’s just a punk, and he’s much too close to the CCP.”

VM PDJ
But he says the western provinces of Canada, and Danielle Smith, most notably, “really get it.” He says he met with many representatives from “Canada’s West,” and they were “all over different dinners I went to.”
He even had some around to the War Room, he says, but he won’t divulge who. But he does say they’re interested in partnering with the U.S. — even if the rest of the country is not.
“Before, strategically, you didn’t need the United States. They were nice to be an ally of — now you need us. It’s the only way to stop the great power competition, which you’re going to lose. Tell me how that’s going to play when Russia and China start making physical incursions into northern Canada … how are you guys going to respond? Are you going to lose northern Canada?
“Well, if you’re partners and/or part of the United States, you don’t have to worry about that because we’re not going to let that happen.”

Rita Saffioti pledges additional $11.5m for Albany airport upgrades & Tourism Council backs promises
Rita Saffioti pledges additional $11.5m for Albany airport upgrades & Tourism Council backs promises
Labor has promised $11.5 million to finish Albany’s airport upgrades if re-elected in March, making them the second major party to do so.
Transport Minister Rita Saffioti announced on Thursday that WA Labor would back the Federal Government’s $14.6m fund for Albany airport upgrades with $11.5m of State funding if re-elected in March.
The Federal funding announced in January under the growing regions program will fund the first stage of the City of Albany’s $30m Albany Airport master plan.
That announcement coincided with a commitment from Albany’s Liberal candidate Thomas Brough who pledged $14m to the upgrades.

Ms Saffioti said she was proud to be supporting WA’s growing regions.
“It’s a project that Rebecca (Stephens) as member for Albany, and of course the City of Albany has raised with me and it’s been a project we’ve been working with the City of Albany on for a long time,” she said.
“We know that there is demand here, in particular, there has been new and expanded FIFO opportunities in Albany, more and more FIFO workers and more and more residents undertaking jobs throughout WA.”
Ms Saffioti said passenger numbers were increasing because of several factors and particularly capped airfares.
The capped-price fares for residents were introduced in 2022 and the scheme was recently extended until mid-2026 after a $4m funding boost from the State Government.

Albany MLA Rebecca Stephens said the additional funding would “get the job done” after the election.
“We know the airport is critical to movements for people getting to Perth, not just for passengers but for FIFO workers so people can live in regions like Albany and the surrounds and go earn some ******* dollars up in the mines,” she said.
“These upgrades mean we will be able to support the movement of larger aircraft in and out of Albany, improve access for emergency services such as the Royal Flying Doctor Service and seasonal aerial firefighting, and expand the terminal building and carpark.”
Tourism Council WA welcomed the promise.
“Visitors to Albany spend $305m in the local destination each year, creating 1690 jobs,” chief executive Evan Hall said.
“Albany has been a rising star as a regional tourism destination, however it is constrained by a lack of accommodation and air services.”
However, Mr Hall warned the airport expansion would need to be supported by tourism development in the region.
“An expanded airport would need to be accompanied by accommodation development and a dedicated regional airline with larger aircraft to host more visitors to Albany,” he said.

Luke Littler: ‘He’s not a baby anymore’ – Michael Van Gerwen on world champion
Luke Littler: ‘He’s not a baby anymore’ – Michael Van Gerwen on world champion
Michael van Gerwen has criticised world champion Luke Littler for his poor timekeeping after the 18-year-old arrived 45 minutes late for a media day in Belfast.
Littler, who became the youngest world champion when he defeated the Dutchman last month, is one of seven players competing in the Premier League which starts in Northern Ireland on Thursday.
The teenager from Warrington said he had overslept after taking a morning nap, which didn’t impress his colleagues.
“They need to stop treating him like a baby. He’s not a baby any more, he’s 18 years old now,” Van Gerwen told reporters.
“It happens. He has to learn. You have to learn the hard way. It’s a professional sport so you have to be responsible for your actions. Simple as that.
“If he turns up late for an interview, I don’t mind. But seven other people are waiting for him. That’s not very nice, is it?”
After their meeting in the World Championship final, the pair met again in the quarter-finals of the Dutch Masters two weeks ago with Littler again coming out on top.
They are set to renew their rivalry again at the oche in Belfast on Thursday as they will face each other in their opening quarter-final of this season’s Premier League.
You can follow live text commentary on the BBC Sport website from 19:00 GMT on Thursday

Kookaburras upset Netherlands in Olympics QF rematch
Kookaburras upset Netherlands in Olympics QF rematch
The rebuilding Kookaburras have pulled off an upset 4-2 FIH Pro League men’s hockey win over the Netherlands in their Olympics quarter-final rematch.
Jake Harvie scored first before goals from Davis Atkin, Cooper Burns and Ky Willott helped Australia exact some revenge on the world No.1 side at Sydney Olympic Park on Thursday.
Miles Bukkens and Tjep Hoedemakers reduced the deficit to one goal but Willott found the back of the net to kill off the visitors’ second-half challenge.
The match cames five months after the Netherlands knocked the Kookaburras out of the Paris Games with a 2-0 quarter-final win.
Australia’s Olympics ******-out triggered a squad upheaval, with former Kookaburras captain Mark Hager replacing long-time coach Colin Batch.
Hager named only nine of the 22-man Paris squad for the Pro League stage in Sydney and called up eight debutants for their opening match against Spain.
Despite a 2-1 loss to the Spaniards, Hager opted against changing his side for their Netherlands match.
Australia found the opener thanks to a foul by Joep de Mol on Willott, with the Netherlands conceding a penalty corner.
The corner shot by newly-blooded Tom Harvie hit the foot of an opposition defender in a congested passage of play, resulting in a penalty stroke.
Harvie’s older brother Jake, who played in the Olympics quarter-final loss alongside Willott, stood up to take the penalty and easily converted.
Atkin then hit the scoreboard with a half-volley after a brilliant long-distance pass from Corey Weyer.
The Netherlands were adamant Atkin did not have a clear landing zone to receive Weyer’s pass, but the goal stood after a review.
Burns’s goal also survived a review, initially believed to have used the wrong side of the stick to score.

Snow, ice totals for what will be a messy Thursday
Snow, ice totals for what will be a messy Thursday
Our parade of wintry weather continues to march through the North Country and Upper Valley this week. We have yet another messy disturbance on the way for Thursday morning. It’s a warm front that will produce a thump of snow primarily after the morning drive with a little bit of freezing drizzle on the back side of the event. Here’s a local look at snow and ice totals for our area by Thursday afternoon.
Northern New York will experience a widespread dusting to 4 inches of snow Thursday morning before swapping over to a wintry mix of snow and freezing drizzle. On top of that fresh snow, there may be an additional glaze or so of ice. That combination of snow and ice on area roadways will make travel difficult later Thursday morning through the evening drive home.
Northern Vermont will also tap in to a widespread dusting to 4 inches of snow by Thursday afternoon with some freezing drizzle to follow the snowfall. A few mountain towns such as Jay Peak could cross the 4 inch threshold by the time all is said and done. There will certainly be snowy, icy afternoon and evening commutes to contend with so be sure to exercise plenty of caution.
Southern Vermont and the Upper Valley will see the most widespread 2 to 4 inch amounts of snow during this event. There could even be some 4+ inch amounts for ski areas/resorts across the southern Greens. Similar to northern New York and northern Vermont, there may be some freezing drizzle to account for across southern Vermont and the Upper Valley in the wake of that accumulating snow. Travel safely and maintain a ******* than normal braking space between you and the car in front of you.

Relocation of Gazans would be temporary, Rubio says
Relocation of Gazans would be temporary, Rubio says
US President Donald Trump’s proposal to resettle Gaza’s population would only be temporary, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said.
It follows Trump’s suggestion that the US could “take over” Gaza and resettle the millions of Palestinians living there – an idea that has drawn criticism from the UN, human rights groups and Arab leaders.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt further clarified Trump’s comments, saying the US was not planning to put “boots on the ground” in the territory.
Meanwhile, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has said Gazans “should be allowed to enjoy freedom of exit and immigration”, but gave few details on how this would work.
On a trip to Guatemala, Marco Rubio said Trump’s proposal was not “hostile”, but a “generous move”, showing “the willingness of the United States to become responsible for the reconstruction of that area”.
He said the idea was for Gazans to leave the territory for an “interim” ******* while debris was cleared and reconstruction took place.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told journalists on Wednesday that the president was committed to rebuilding Gaza and “temporarily” relocating its residents during the process.
Trump said on Tuesday the displacement would be permanent.
Leavitt also said the president had not committed to putting “boots on the ground” in the territory but declined to rule out the use of US troops there.
Her comments come after Donald Trump proposed taking control of the Gaza Strip and redeveloping it into “the Riviera of the Middle East”.
“The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too,” Trump said on Tuesday during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called the idea “worth paying attention to”.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz also praised Trump’s proposal, adding that Gazans “should be allowed to enjoy freedom of exit and immigration” by land, sea or air.
He said countries like Spain, Ireland and Norway – critics of the war – “are legally obligated to allow every Gazan resident to enter their territory”.
He did not explain how the proposal would work – or whether Gazans would be able to return after reconstruction.
Spain’s foreign minister has rejected the suggestion.

Kellogg’s CFO forgot to put an account with $56K in a trust before passing — bank wouldn’t release funds. Legal?
Kellogg’s CFO forgot to put an account with $56K in a trust before passing — bank wouldn’t release funds. Legal?
Kellogg’s CFO forgot to put an account with $56K in a trust before passing — bank wouldn’t release funds. Legal?
When former Kellogg’s CFO Charles Elliott passed away in 2022, he left behind a carefully planned estate – with one flaw.
Everything had been placed in a trust for his two children, ensuring a smooth transition of assets. But one small oversight — a $56,000 checking account with no designation — turned into a major legal headache.
His daughter, Christine Elliott, expected Chase Bank to release the funds to the trust, so it could then be sent to her and her brother. Instead, she was met with silence.
“So I provided what they said I needed, and then he called back and said, ‘It’s not enough,’” Elliott told 7News Miami. “I said, ‘Well, what do I need?’ And he said, ‘I can’t tell you.’”
In estate law, financial institutions are required to follow strict protocols when handling accounts of the deceased. If an account is not specifically designated to a beneficiary or placed in a trust, it typically falls under probate, according to Keystone Law Group.
In this case, Elliott provided all necessary documents, yet the bank still refused – for about a year – to release the funds or explain why.
Are the bank’s actions legal? Unfortunately for the Elliotts, yes. But here’s how they were still able to get the money, plus interest.
The good news is that Elliott finally received her check – including more than $2,000 in accrued interest – after 7News legal expert Howard Finkelstein hopped on the case. But what took the bank so long?
Banks have the right to withhold information about an account’s status, which is typically treated as private information and not privy to anyone but the account holder.
Finkelstein explained the situation bluntly.
“No, they don’t have to tell you, but they do have to tell a judge,” he told 7News. “In this case, a judge signed an order to transfer the funds to the trust. Now the bank has to explain why they won’t do it. If the judge doesn’t like that explanation, they can fine the bank and force them to release that cash.”
The bank could have been withholding the money for several reasons.
Regardless, without an explanation, the family was left in the dark. And frustration and legal expenses can mount for anyone in the same scenario.

If you or a loved one face a similar roadblock with a deceased relative’s bank account, there are steps you can take to break the deadlock.
The first step is to escalate the issue with the bank. While Elliott contacted multiple departments before giving up and calling the television station, persistence is key.
Requesting a meeting with a higher-level executive in the estate resolution department or filing a formal complaint can sometimes resolve bureaucratic issues.
Requesting legal justification from the bank is another option. While banks aren’t required to disclose specifics, they must follow the law. A probate attorney can send a formal demand letter requesting clarification on the legal grounds for withholding the funds.
If the bank remains uncooperative, filing a complaint with regulators can add pressure. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) or a state banking regulator may be able to intervene and push for a resolution.
As a last resort, taking the matter to court may be necessary. A court order can compel a bank to release funds, though this option may be costly and time-consuming.
To avoid a similar nightmare, estate planning should cover every account. Even a minor oversight – like a checking account – can create major legal trouble.
Naming beneficiaries on all accounts is a crucial step. Experian says many banks allow accounts to be designated as “payable on death” (POD), which avoids probate entirely.
Regularly reviewing estate plans can prevent these issues. Even financial experts like the late Charles Elliott – a key leader for the cereal giant Kellogg’s – can overlook small details that may not be a top priority, which is why periodic checkups are crucial.
Creating an airtight estate plan can help heirs be sure of where assets are held and what steps they need to take when the time comes.

Mysterious Brain Disease Found in Dead Great White Sharks Along Atlantic Coast
Mysterious Brain Disease Found in Dead Great White Sharks Along Atlantic Coast
A string of unexplained great white shark deaths along the North American Atlantic Coast has raised concerns among marine scientists. The first known case was recorded in August 2023, when a juvenile male shark, weighing 500 pounds and measuring 8 feet 9 inches, was found dead on a beach in Prince Edward Island, Canada. The carcass was taken to the Atlantic Veterinary College at the University of Prince Edward Island for examination. Initial observations showed no external injuries, and starvation was ruled out due to the presence of a healthy liver. A necropsy later revealed meningoencephalitis, an inflammation of the brain tissue, as the cause of death. The findings prompted further investigations when additional cases surfaced across the region.
Study Identifies Possible Pattern in Shark Deaths
As reported by The New York Times, in a study by the ********* Wildlife Health Cooperative (C.W.H.C.), tissue samples from four more great white sharks found in eastern Canada showed similar brain inflammation. Dr. Megan Jones, a veterinary pathologist and regional director of C.W.H.C., stated to The New York Times that three of the five sharks examined displayed signs of a potentially infectious disease affecting the brain. In total, nine cases of dead white sharks with brain swelling have been recorded since July 2022. While brain inflammation has been detected in other shark species, its cause was usually linked to bacterial infections. In these great whites, no such clear cause has been identified.
Lack of Baseline Data Poses Challenges
Dr Alisa Newton, chief veterinarian for OCEARCH, a Florida-based shark research organisation, noted that while the deaths appear concerning, a lack of baseline mortality data for white sharks in the western North Atlantic makes it difficult to determine if this is an anomaly or a natural occurrence. She first identified meningoencephalitis in a white shark in 2022 from a brain tissue sample collected from Long Island, New York. The condition was also found in sharks from South Carolina and Massachusetts, with additional cases under review.
Investigations Continue Amid Uncertainty
Efforts to understand the root cause of the inflammation are ongoing. Genetic sequencing of brain tissue from a South Carolina shark has been initiated at the Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory to identify potential viral or bacterial pathogens. Meanwhile, some experts, including Tonya Wimmer, executive director of the Marine Animal Response Society (MARS), believe the increased number of beached sharks could be linked to population growth rather than an emerging disease. Until more evidence is gathered, the mystery behind these deaths remains unsolved.
