Big Tech ramps up living room rivalry as Instagram launches Reels app for TVs  The battle for the future of television is intensifying, and Meta is making its move. The company announced the launch of an Instagram Reels app for connected TVs, starting with Amazon Fire TV devices. The app aims to bring Reels directly to the living room, allowing users to watch short-form videos on a larger screen alongside friends and family. Tessa Lyons, Instagram’s VP of product, explained that research showed people were already mirroring their phones to TVs to view Reels, signaling a demand for a dedicated TV experience. The new app is designed to make that experience seamless, with features like Blend, which lets users combine their algorithms with those of friends or family for co-viewing, and support for channels and categories for easier content discovery.

 30 North Korean Officials Executed Over Mishandling of Flood Disaster


Recent reports suggest that 30 government officials in North Korea have been executed for their failure to respond effectively to the severe floods and landslides that claimed over 4,000 lives last month. South Korean media outlet TV Chosun revealed that the officials faced charges of corruption and neglect of duty.


The floods in July hit Chagang Province hard, displacing over 15,000 people and causing massive damage to homes, farmland, roads, and railways, especially in areas like Sinuiju and Uiju.


North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has reportedly responded by removing high-ranking officials and ordering punishments for those responsible for poor disaster management. TV Chosun reported that many were executed at the end of last month. However, independent sources have yet to confirm the accuracy of these claims.


Despite the disaster, Kim Jong-un has rejected offers of international aid and directed officials to relocate displaced citizens to Pyongyang, where they can receive better assistance. Reconstruction efforts are expected to take two to three months, with 15,400 people needing support in the capital.


This crackdown follows North Korea's history of public executions, which experts say have increased in recent years due to economic instability, sanctions, and natural disasters.


In past instances, reports of executions in North Korea have been questionable. For example, Kim Hyok Chol, who was said to be executed in 2019, was later confirmed alive, raising doubts about the reliability of such reports.
