Yemen fighting pushes nearly 3,000 to Djibouti in less than a week: UN    Nearly 3,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence drives growing displacement within the country and across its borders, the UN refugee agency said Friday. “Refugees continue to arrive by boat through Obock, Khor Angar, Moulhoule and Godoria after difficult journeys in small vessels,” UNHCR representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours told reporters in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported. More than half of those crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are women and children, while some families have been displaced for a second time after previously fleeing Yemen during the 2015 crisis and later returning. UNHCR is preparing for at least 10,000 new arrivals but warned that capacity is rapidly diminishing. Markazi refugee village, designed for 5,000 people, was already hosting more than 2,700 Yemenis and 1,500 Eritreans. More than 100,000 people have also been displaced ins...

GENERATING SEXUAL IMAGES OF SOMEONE WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT, INCLUDING THROUGH THE USE OF AI, WILL BECOME A CRIMINAL OFFENCE IN THE UK THIS WEEK. (PHOTO).



Generating sexual images of someone without their consent, including through the use of AI, will become a criminal offence in the UK this week. 


Science and Tech Secretary Liz Kendall made the announcement on Monday, Jan. 12, after widespread anger over pictures made using Elon Musk’s chatbot Grok. 


Male users of Musk’s  social media site X have been asking the AI software, Grok, to remove the clothing from an image of any person – with women and children among the targets. 


Two UK cabinet ministers had also been victims of the twisted trend. Kate Middleton was also a victim of the AI undress. 


Musk later changed the rules so only verified users of the Grok service – whose real identities were attached to their accounts – could generate deepfake images. 


But he also made light of the behaviour by generating an image of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in a bikini, and suggesting the limitations were an attack on free speech. 


In the UK House of Commons yesterday, Jan. 12  Kendall said a criminal offence of generating s£xual images without consent would be brought into force this week.

It would come under the Data (Use and Access) Act which was passed by Parliament last year. 


So-called “nudification” apps are also due to be outlawed in the flagship Crime and Policing Bill which is currently moving through the parliamentary process. 


That legislation will also block companies from supplying the tools to create non-consensual images, which Kendall said would tackle the issue “at its source”. 


She did not specify which day this week the new criminal offence is due to come into effect.
