<p>Apple has launched a feature on its iMessage platform that will allow children to report nude images and videos to the tech firm that would then bring it to the notice of law enforcement agencies.</p>

<p>The change is being rolled out first in Australia from Thursday (Oct 24).</p>

<p>The beta release is part of an update of Apple's operating system and extends the safety measures earlier given to users aged under 13 since iOS 17.</p>

</div>
<a class="close-mark close-div" href="#" id="jqclosemark">×</a></div>

<p>Here is how the new feature aimed at further protecting user privacy will work:</p>

<p>The iPhones can automatically detect images and videos that contain nudity that children might receive or attempt to send in iMessage, AirDrop, FaceTime and Photos.</p>

<p>When such sensitive imagery is&nbsp;detected, the young users will be given intervention screens before they can proceed.</p>

<p>There will be options to contact a parent or guardian and to&nbsp;report the images and videos to Apple.</p>

<p>The device will then generate reports containing the visuals, as well as messages preceding and following the images and videos.</p>

<p>The report will include contact information of both the sender and receiver.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Users can fill out a form to explain what happened, which Apple will review.</p>

<p>Action such as disabling the users' ability to send messages through iMessage will follow.<br />
<br />
Apple can also report the issue to law enforcement agencies.</p>

<p>The tech giant said the feature will eventually be rolled out across the world after the beta test in Australia.</p>

<p>Australia was chosen as the first region in the wake of new rules being implemented in the country to crack down on controversial content on tech platforms and devices.</p>

<p>The new rules require companies to monitor child abuse and terror-related content on messaging and cloud services in Australia by the end of 2024.</p>

<p>While Apple maintains that the new features would&nbsp;protect end-to-end encryption and raised concerns about mass surveillance, the law has been softened a bit.</p>

<p>Yet, the&nbsp;Australian&nbsp;government insists that&nbsp;companies must&nbsp;take action to tackle child abuse and terror content.</p>

'No view is worth your life': Sister laments after brother falls to death at a canyon in Utah

<p>Photos of young girls or women present on Jeffrey Epstein's private island surfaced on documents released on Monday (Jan 8) related to court cases involving the late American financier. The photos also featured Epstein's longtime accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, who had said in her separate court case that she was not present in the island during the time period when the photos were taken.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The judge&nbsp;who was looking into the case later ordered the file - which had images - should be stricken from the public docket and the officials should re-file it without the images. In the images, young women or girls were seen on the island along with Epstein, Maxwell, his friend and suspected sex trafficker Jean-Luc Brunel, and one of the accusers of Epstein.</p>

<p>"The Clerk of the Court is directed to strike docket entry 1332-7 in the above-captioned case because it contains inadvertently disclosed images that should have been redacted," Judge Loretta Presak wrote in a Monday evening order. "Counsel shall re-file the stricken document as soon as is practicable," he added. &nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Photos prove Maxwell's presence on Epstein's island</strong></h2>

<p>The documents were earlier redacted or sealed as part of a 2015 lawsuit between Maxwell, the disgraced financier's longtime girlfriend and Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre. Maxwell has now been convicted as a sex trafficker.</p>

<p>The lawyers of Giuffre said that the photos "unequivocally" establish the presence of Maxwell on the island during a time when as per her testimony, she was "hardly around".&nbsp;</p>

<p>The photos were also included as part of a filing regarding Epstein accuser Sarah Ransome, who was not included in the proceedings but exposed the inner workings of Epstein's "massage network" and testified that Maxwell was referred to as "Mamma bear" by the victims.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Ms. Ransome’s testimony proves that what little Defendant did say during her deposition was far from the truth," wrote Giuffre's lawyers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ransome further claimed that the girls who were taken to the private island of Epstein in the U.S. Virgin Islands were given Victoria's Secret nightwear and bikinis by the host.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Some of the deposition of Ransome had already been made public in earlier unsealed files, however, the names were redacted.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The side of Maxwell claimed that the accusers made false allegations against her, in the hope that the lawsuit will provide them with a "lottery ticket."</p>

<p>People have been relentlessly trolling Elon Musk ever since his bare-chested photos became viral. But the tech mogul has been immune to the mocking and has taken the criticism in a stride.

<p>The shirtless photos, which were obtained by Page Six, nearly broke the internet. &nbsp;According to reports, he was aboard a luxury yacht in Mykonos, Greece, with newlywed friends Ari Emanuel and Sarah Staudinger.</p>

In Pics: Protest photos that will leave you speechless

<p>Space is full of surprises and wonders. The beauty is unparalleled and sometimes we come across such a beauty that we can't help but be mesmerised and ascribe some meaning to the resplendent celestial structure.</p>

<p>Trust NASA to send such pictures our way! The space agency regularly posts photos it clicks via its social media channels. And on of its photos has us go gaga again.</p>

<p>The image is of 'Hand of God'. The photo shows a golden structure on the background of deep black of the space that has arranged itself to resemble a hand. And it would have been surprising if this would've got called anything but 'hand of God'. The structure appears to pop out of nothingness, just like a Supreme Being wanting to convey his blessings and nothing more. Take a look at the image.</p>

It is about 19 kilometres in diamters. Mind boggling thing is that it is spinning around itself 7 times per second. It is 17,000 lightyears away from Earth.</p>

Space is full of surprises and wonders. The beauty is unparalleled and sometimes we come across such a beauty that we can't help but be mesmerised and ascribe some meaning to the resplendent celestial structure.

Space is full of surprises and wonders. The beauty is unparalleled and sometimes we come across such a beauty that we can't help but be mesmerised and ascribe some meaning to the resplendent celestial structure. Trust NASA to send such pictures our way! The space agency regularly posts photos it clicks via its social media channels. And on of its photos has us go gaga again. The image is of 'Hand of God'. The photo shows a golden structure on the background of deep black of the space that has arranged itself to resemble a hand. And it would have been surprising if this would've got called anything but 'hand of God'. The structure appears to pop out of nothingness, just like a Supreme Being wanting to convey his blessings and nothing more. Take a look at the image. Also Read | Devil's eye? NASA posts eerie image of Helix Nebula this Halloween season NASA explains that the golden structure is a nebula of energy and particles blown by a pulsar. The pulsar has been left behind after explosion of a star. This pulsar is known as PSR B1509-58. It is about 19 kilometres in diamters. Mind boggling thing is that it is spinning around itself 7 times per second. It is 17,000 lightyears away from Earth.

Powerful photos by Danish Siddiqui, Indian journalist killed in Afghanistan

<p>Google has announced that from June 1, any new high-quality photos and videos you back up will count toward the free 15GB of free storage that comes with every Google account, or the additional storage you've purchased as a Google One member.<br />
<br />
The company said that your existing high-quality photos and videos are exempt from this change.<br />
<br />
"Any photos or videos backed up in high quality before June 1, 2021, will not count toward your Google Account storage. These photos and videos will remain free and exempt from the storage limit," Andy Abramson, Director, Product Management, Google Photos, said in a statement late on Monday.<br />
<br />
The company estimates that more than 80 per cent of the users should still be able to store roughly three more years of memories in high quality with your free 15GB of storage.<br />
<br />
As your storage nears 15GB, Google will notify you in the app and follow up by email.<br />
<br />
"If you don`t see an estimate, you may not have uploaded many photos and videos to Google Photos, you may be close to your storage limit (making it difficult to predict how many months your remaining storage will last) or your account is provided through work, school, family or another group," Google informed.<br />
<br />
Google said that it is also rolling out a storage management tool in the Photos app to help you easily manage photos and videos you`ve backed up that count toward your storage quota.<br />
<br />
"The storage management tool surfaces photos or videos you might want to delete? like blurry photos, screenshots and large videos? so you can get the most out of your storage. You can also purchase more storage through Google One where available," the company said.<br />
<br />
Google said it is also renaming its high-quality storage tier to Storage saver.</p>

<p>It's a world of memes. From depicting heartbreak to shooting a sarcastic, funnily helpless comment at life, memes do it all. And some memes have achieved legendary status. But how legandary? Well just say a meme brought a woman about half a million dollars.</p>

<p>Enter 'disaster girl'.</p>

<p>We have all seen this meme. A girl smiling (sort of!) while a house burns like crazy in the background! The disaster girl meme came to represent many things. From heartless maniacs laughing while someone else's property burns to helpless souls who were forced to smile as their life burned in the background.</p>

<p>The girl in the original picture is all grown up. Zoe Roth was just four-years-old when her dad clicked this picture in 2005. Roth has now sold the original picture for a cool $ 473,000.</p>

<p>She is 21 now and is a university student. The money, she says, is going to be used to pay of her student debt and remaining money will be given to charity.</p>

<p>The buyer of her photo simply identifies as 3FMusic. It is believed his real name is Farzin Fardin Fard. As per media reports he is chief executive of a music production company based in Dubai</p>

<p><strong>But what was happening in the picture after all?</strong></p>

<p>It turns out that Zoe Roth was not smiling wickedly. And the fire behind her was started by firefighters on purpose as a controlled blaze.</p>

<p>We just have one planet. We may advance our know-how and dream of moving en-masse to other planets but no planet in the universe will nurture us like Mother Earth. And it is because of this, images of Earth taken from space have a special place. Sure, we'll have plenty of stars, planets and galaxies to click. But images of our blue planet will always be cherished. NASA has posted new images of Earth.</p>

<p>These new images have been captured from International Space Station (ISS). NASA has posted these images from their Instagram account.</p>

<p>The new images are in celebration of Earth Day, which is fast approaching (April 22).</p>

<p>"...Leading up to Earth Day, we invite you to celebrate our blue marble!..." says NASA in its Instagram post. The 'blue marble' is of course our Earth.</p>

<p>"In these stunning images, the natural systems – land, water, air, ice – connect to each other to bring life. No matter whether we are on land or in space, we are unified by this tiny blue planet – and that’s something to celebrate..." NASA said</p>

<p>It has posted four photos in total. Check them out below. Click on the arrows to see the next image in the frame below.</p>

<p>In this universe, our gaze may be deep and wide. We may have the capacity to uncover deepest mysteries of the universe. But sometimes, once in a while, it doesn't hurt to look back and appreciate the planet that has let our roots grow strong.</p>


We just have one planet. We may advance our know-how and dream of moving en-masse to other planets but no planet in the universe will nurture us like Mother Earth.

We just have one planet. We may advance our know-how and dream of moving en-masse to other planets but no planet in the universe will nurture us like Mother Earth. And it is because of this, images of Earth taken from space have a special place. Sure, we'll have plenty of stars, planets and galaxies to click. But images of our blue planet will always be cherished. NASA has posted new images of Earth. These new images have been captured from International Space Station (ISS). NASA has posted these images from their Instagram account. The new images are in celebration of Earth Day, which is fast approaching (April 22). "...Leading up to Earth Day, we invite you to celebrate our blue marble!..." says NASA in its Instagram post. The 'blue marble' is of course our Earth. "In these stunning images, the natural systems – land, water, air, ice – connect to each other to bring life. No matter whether we are on land or in space, we are unified by this tiny blue planet – and that’s something to celebrate..." NASA said It has posted four photos in total. Check them out below.

NASA posts stunning new photos of Earth captured from International Space Station

<p>Leaked photos and video of 'unidentified aerial phenomena' (UAP) taken in 2019 were legitimate and taken by navy personnel, confirmed the Defence Department of the US.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Pentagon spokeswoman Sue Gough confirmed to CNN that the photos and video of triangle-shaped objects blinking and moving through the clouds were taken by US Navy personnel.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The pictures of three unidentified objects, categorised as a ‘sphere', 'acorn' and 'metallic blimp' were taken by Navy personnel, confirmed Gough.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The defence department cannot comment further on the observations or examination, added Gough.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In April 2020, the Pentagon released three short videos showing 'unidentified aerial phenomena'. Earlier, the US Navy had confirmed the clips as real. The videos released by the Pentagon date back to 2004 and 2015, and show flying objects that cannot be identified. The objects in question were moving rapidly, and were captured by infrared cameras.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In December last year, former President Donald Trump had signed the $2.3 trillion coronavirus relief bill which he also set into motion a 180-day countdown for the authorities to reveal all they know about UFOs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The DIA and Secretary of Defence were given less than six months to provide information on 'unidentified aerial phenomena' to the Congress and committees of armed services, according to former President Trump's move.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In addition, the report must pinpoint any potential threats to national security posed by UFOs, while attempting to analyse whether any of the adversaries of the US may be involved in the sightings of UFOs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Almost on cue, America's spy agency CIA allowed all UFO information to be downloaded ahead of the deadline last month. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The CIA allowed documents to be accessed by downloading from the Black Vault website. The data involved every instance of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), which has been mapped by the US government.&nbsp;</p>

Google Photos stops free uploads; limits storage space

Paintings and photographs capturing legendary British explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott`s tragic race to the South Pole have been reunited for the first time in more than a century at a London gallery.<br />
<br />
Photographer Herbert Ponting and watercolourist Edward Wilson dreamed of holding a joint exhibition to show their images of the beautiful but brutal Antarctic landscape, but Wilson`s death on the ill-fated Terra Nova expedition made it impossible.<br />
<br />
&quot;Visions of the Great White South&quot;, which opened at London`s Bonhams gallery this week, finally realises the pair`s vision, and also showcases recently unearthed photographs taken by Scott himself.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Scott remains an iconic figure in Britain and his failed mission to be the first to reach the South Pole, resulting in the death of himself and four colleagues in 1912, &nbsp;holds a unique place in national folklore.<br />
<br />
&quot;He`s one of those great British heroes,&quot; exhibition curator Charlotte Connelly told AFP on Wednesday.<br />
<br />
&quot;He was held up at the time as a hero for all the people going off to the First World War: he made the ultimate sacrifice for his nation.<br />
&quot;But also Antarctica is an amazing, remote place that very few people get to go to and I think that still holds sway.&quot;<br />
<br />
Wilson captured the colours, otherworldly mirages and spirit-crushing scale of the ice sheet in a series of watercolours, whose impressionistic style reflected the climatic constraints.<br />
<br />
With paint freezing in the sub-zero temperatures, the naturalist and artist sketched the scene and made a note of the colours, before filling in with watercolours at base camp.Ponting`s photographs open a window into the everyday grind of survival in freezing conditions, and recreate in great detail the constantly changing icy landscapes, sculpted by ferocious weather.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
&quot;Some of the images are really haunting,&quot; said Connelly.<br />
<br />
&quot;One of Scott`s images is a bit overexposed and it looks like the men and their ponies are walking off into nothing, which I think is very touching.&quot;<br />
<br />
One image shows footprints and sled trails disappearing into the horizon, another captures the men straining to pull their cargo through soft snow while the most spectacular illustrate the huge ice features, some perfectly geometric and others resembling frozen waves.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Captain Lawrence Oates, who Scott famously recorded in his diary as saying &quot;I am just going outside and may be some time&quot; before walking to his death, is also shown boiling dog food on a blubber stove.<br />
<br />
Ponting`s negatives have recently been blown up using cutting-edge technology to make them of exhibition quality, while Scott`s negatives were only discovered in 2014.<br />
<br />
The Terra Nova expedition,named after the boat which carried the men -- was a scientific mission to Antarctica that took place between 1910 and 1913.<br />
<br />
Scott also wanted to become the first to reach the South Pole, but on arriving on January 17, 1912, found out Norwegian Roald Amundsen had beaten him by 34 days.<br />
<br />
Scott`s entire party that reached the pole died of exhaustion and exposure on the return journey. Some of their bodies were found eight months later, along with journals and photographs.<br />

The free exhibition will run until August 19.<br />

Wilson captured the colours, otherworldly mirages and spirit-crushing scale of the ice sheet in a series of watercolours

Paintings and photographs capturing legendary British explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott`s tragic race to the South Pole have been reunited for the first time in more than a century at a London gallery. Photographer Herbert Ponting and watercolourist Edward Wilson dreamed of holding a joint exhibition to show their images of the beautiful but brutal Antarctic landscape, but Wilson`s death on the ill-fated Terra Nova expedition made it impossible. "Visions of the Great White South", which opened at London`s Bonhams gallery this week, finally realises the pair`s vision, and also showcases recently unearthed photographs taken by Scott himself.
