Gambia, The Standard, Inglês

– Advertisement – Ahead of tomorrow’s Gambia National Olympic Committee (GNOC) congress unopposed, Lamin King Colley, the president of the Gambia Handball Association is the only one sure of election in the new executive. He is nominated by the two groups contesting the election as first vice president. With no other person nominated for this position from either side, Mr Colley, a commissioner of police is already elected first vice president under the GNOC constitution. He is only waiting for official confirmation tomorrow. Asked if he does not find it awkward or even a case of divided loyalty that both sides nominated him for the same position, King replied:” Well I am humbled by that trust from both sides but it is normal for one to get elected unopposed in an election. I am willing to work with, and in any team because they both desire to develop sports,” he...

London CNN  —  Donald Trump is poised to enter the White House for the second time. His agenda will include overseeing the development of artificial intelligence, potentially the most powerful technology of our time. The president-elect has promised to “slash excess regulations” and tapped tech billionaire Elon Musk, another critic of government rules, to help lead the effort. More specifically, the Republican Party, in its election platform, said it would repeal a sweeping executive order signed by President Joe Biden that set out actions to manage AI’s national security risks and prevent discrimination by AI systems, among other goals. The Republican document said the executive order contained “radical leftwing ideas” that hindered innovation. Sandra Wachter, professor of technology and regulation at the Oxford Internet Institute at Oxford University, is watching what happens next closely. AI is replete with risks that “needed addressing yesterday” through robust regulation, she told CNN. Here...

A l’issue de 8 jours d’exercices pratiques et des démonstrations techniques avec le photographe international, Patrick Robert, la formation des photoreporters sur ‘‘la photographie avancée et le pilotage des drones’’, s’est clôturée mardi passé. Les bénéficiaires ont unanimement salué la richesse des enseignements prodigués. L’atelier, d’une durée de huit jours, a rassemblé une trentaine de photoreporters djiboutiens, venus des différentes institutions de la presse écrite, des médias audiovisuels et des plateformes numériques. Animée par le photographe de renommée internationale Patrick Robert, cette formation a permis aux participants à perfectionner d’une part, leur maîtrise de la lumière, du cadrage, et des techniques avancées de photographie pour obtenir des images percutantes et émouvantes et de l’autre au pilotage des drones qui offre de nouvelles perspectives visuelles, particulièrement utiles pour des reportages sur le terrain, dans des zones difficiles d’accès, ou encore pour des prises de vue aériennes spectaculaires. Organisé par la commission...

Han Shin-ja, aged 99, bids farewell to her North Korean daughter on the final day of the first session of the 21st reunion of divided families, which was held at Kumgangsan Hotel, on the afternoon of Aug. 22, 2018. (Yonhap News) North Korea has directed officials to revise documents relating to families split between North and South Korea and mandated ideological training for these families, following recent constitutional changes that officially designate South Korea as a hostile state.  The directive, issued by the Central Committee’s Organization and Guidance Department on Nov. 11, requires South Hamgyong province to complete document revisions and conduct training sessions by year’s end, according to a source in the province recently.  These orders appear to confirm fears that North Korea’s shift to the “two hostile states” narrative and its elimination of concepts about reunification and one Korean nation would have a negative impact on inter-Korean humanitarian...
