An innovative way has been adopted by Tesco to stop supermarket thefts and catch thieves.&nbsp;

'Ominous' security robots, which are Dalek-like machines, now stand outside the stores to catch hold of the thieves with the help of 360-degree cameras.&nbsp;

The bots are placed near the entrance of Tesco stores and using an "angry Northern Irish accent", they shout at any intruders they detect while sending alerts to the authorities.&nbsp;

Even though this robot is proving efficient, it is not very cheap and one needs to pay £100,000 ($1,33,757) per month to hire it.

Speaking about it, Tesco said that they have been using security robots outside the stores at night when they are closed.

"This photo shows a security device which is used in some stores outside of opening hours, when needed, such as to prevent burglary or following damage to our property," said a Tesco spokesman.

"The unit should not have been on the shop floor during opening hours," he added.

<h2>How does this angry robot work?</h2>

The device has yellow and blue chequered markings, similar to the UK Police, and is a PID360 security robot which has been created by Shropshire-based firm Deter Tech.

As per reports, the PID360 has been used around "at-risk" locations in Manchester, Bristol and Newcastle.&nbsp;

When an intruder is detected by the robot, a 114-decibel 'Star Wars-style' warning siren goes out along with flashing lights.&nbsp;

In Northern Irish voice, it then says, "Warning, this is security, your presence has been detected, the owner and police have been informed."

In less than a minute, a message, including an image of the intruder, is then sent to a central control room, manned by ex-police and military staff who will decide whether to call on-site security, the police, or a mobile response team."&nbsp;

As per&nbsp;Deter Tech, the robot is able to deter more than "80 per cent of intrusions" and&nbsp;it can be stationed in remote locations without any power.&nbsp;

"With its striking design, audio alerts, and LED illuminators, the PID360 serves as a powerful deterrent against intruders on your site," stated Deter Tech.&nbsp;

"It captures every activation with precision, and our dedicated team promptly reviews the footage and escalates any unauthorised presence detected," it added.

Meanwhile, Tesco staff has been mocking the device, with some even calling it "rather ominous", as reported by the Daily Star.&nbsp;

"My favourite thing about these is that they have northern Irish accents. I never thought of our accent to be unsettling but I guess they can be to some people lol," an employee was quoted as saying.&nbsp;

"I'm from NI and never seen one of these things, but I'm not surprised they'd get a guy from here to do the voice, supposed to be one of the most aggressive accents in the English-speaking world," said another.

There have been many attempts to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin, a contentious political figure, if claims are to be believed.&nbsp;

Several people have been baying for the Russian strongman's blood, but Putin has always managed to escape unhurt.

So far, there have been five assassination attempts on the Russian strongman, excluding the one that took place this week.

Here are some of the instances when some came close to ending Putin's life.

Start of the Ukraine war

Earlier in May, Ukraine’s Chief of Defence Intelligence Kyrylo Budanov revealed said there had been an “unsuccessful attempt” on Putin’s life at the start of the Russian-Ukraine war,&nbsp;reports The Sun

Speaking to Ukrainian Pravda, Major-General Budanov said, "Putin was attacked."

“He was even attacked in the line of, as they say, representatives of the Caucasus not so long ago. This is non-public information. Absolutely unsuccessful attempt, but it really took place … It was about two months ago,” he added.

It was not clear who was behind the alleged attack or where it took place.

Azerbaijan

In 2002 during Putin's visit to Azerbaijan, an Iraqi man was held after plotting to kill the Russian leader.

The man was identified as an Iraqi citizen who was said to have links with Afghanistan and Chechen rebel forces.

He was set to deliver explosives to a co-conspirator. But by the time he could execute his plan, the security forces learned of the plot and arrested the man and his supposed accomplice.

Both were sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Bombing Putin's motorway

In the same year in November, the authorities were tipped off about a plot to kill Putin.

According to local reports, they found 40kg of explosives waiting to be detonated along the motorway used by the 69-year-old Russian leader.

It was claimed that a group of people disguised as repairmen placed the bomb there. But an hour later, the devices mysteriously disappeared and Putin’s car was rerouted.

To this day, authorities refuse to reveal the matter and even deny that it ever took place.

UK Police thwart conspiracy

An anti-terror squad from British police reportedly foiled a plot to kill Putin in October 2003.

According to the Sunday Times, which quoted a source, two men suspected to be assassins were arrested for hatching a plot to kill Putin&nbsp;

One of the men was claimed to be a former Russian secret service hitman.

According to the report, these men had defected to Britain three years ago and were hired by a contract killer to assassinate Putin.

But the cops later released two men, aged 40 and 36after questioning and added that no further action would be taken against them.

Chechen rebel hatches a ‘plot’

In 2012, Rusian special forces captured a Chechen rebel, Adam Osmayev, who is said to have had links to the UK. He was caught in the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Odesa.

State TV later showed that he was paraded in public with visible injuries, supposedly making a confession.

“Our goal was to go to Moscow and try to kill Prime Minister Putin … Our deadline was after the Russian presidential election,” he was quoted as saying.

According to the Russian security services, Osmayev was “a graduate of a prestigious institution of higher learning in Great Britain”, and was from a prominent Chechen family opposed to Putin.

How Russia's President Putin escaped five assassination attempts

Disclaimer: A number of claims and counterclaims are being made on the Ukraine-Russia conflict on the ground and online. While WION takes utmost care to accurately report this developing news story, we cannot independently verify the authenticity of all statements, photos and videos.

Russian President Vladimir Putin survived an assassination attempt after his car was allegedly attacked while travelling to his official residence in a decoy motorcade, according to media reports.

The Mirror, a UK daily, reported that Putin was in his limousine when a "loud bang" was heard from the left front wheel of the car followed by heavy smoke.

Putin managed to escape unhurt following which he was quickly taken to safety by his personal security guards.

It is unconfirmed when the incident took place, but reports suggest that the attack happened this week amid the Russia-Ukraine war. The information on his assassination was released on the General GVR Telegram channel on Wednesday.

It said that multiple arrests have been made from Putin's security services, as some of his bodyguards reportedly vanished amid speculations that secret information about the 69-year-old leader’s movements was leaked.

According to reports, Putin was travelling in the third armoured car among the five that were used as decoys.

"On the way to the residence, a few kilometres away, the first escort car was blocked by an ambulance, the second escort car drove around without stopping (due to the) sudden obstacle," according to an update posted on the channel, as reported by the outlet.

GVR General reported that “despite the problems with control” Putin's car escaped the attack scene and safely reached his residence.

“Subsequently, the body of a man was found driving [the] ambulance, which blocked the first car from the motorcade,” said SVR General.

The channel said that the details of the attack are "classified", and did not provide details of the supposed attack on Putin's life.&nbsp;

This is not the first time that someone had tried to take Putin's life. In 2017,&nbsp;&nbsp;the Russian leader publicly disclosed that he has survived at least five assassination attempts.

Russian President Vladimir Putin survives assassination attempt: Report 

Art is a highly specialised field. Only experts get to become curators of art museums. But not anymore. Well, really as The Baltimore Museum of Art has given this job to 17 officers of its security team. &nbsp;

The exhibition named "Guarding the Art" displays 25 unique works, which have been selected by the members of the team. &nbsp;&nbsp;

It is open from March 27 to July 10.&nbsp;The exhibition will give&nbsp;guests a glimpse into the world of art through the eyes of the guards, who watch over it.

So, wondering whose idea it was? The answer is Amy Elias, one of the museum's trustees. &nbsp;

A conversation with a friend led to consider "how the guards spend more time with art than anyone else. And so, I went home at night and I thought, well, wouldn't it be interesting to hear from the guards about what pieces of work they find most meaningful?" Elias told CNN. &nbsp;

Rob Kempton, who has been a part of the BMA's security team since 2016, was elated at the opportunity. "I had never been a security guard before. But working at the BMA, being surrounded by art, was something that struck me as important," Kempton told CNN. &nbsp;&nbsp;
