As the nationwide protests supporting the imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navani continued to grow, thousands of people gathered in Russia. For the second consecutive weekend, Russians took to the streets of the Far East and Siberia on Sunday, while Moscow stepped up preparations for the rally through a strict security lockdown. Resisting the temperature of minus 20 degrees, more than 6,000 people marched through Novosibirsk, Russia's third largest city, shouting "Go down the mountain with the Tsar!" after riot police blocked the main square. In Vladivostok in the Pacific, the police pushed the crowd towards the frozen Amur Bay, and the police chased the protesters in the snow. By Sunday morning, more than 500 people had been arrested across the country.
On Sunday, Chicago Public Schools postponed the enrollment of thousands of elementary and middle school students for at least one day because the school district and teachers failed to reach an agreement on a COVID-19 safety plan. The Chicago City Public Schools (CPS) and the Chicago Teachers' Union, which represents 28,000 public school educators, decided to postpone the in-person class after months of negotiations and still not reaching an agreement. The two sides have disagreements on teachers' requirements for stricter security agreements to prevent the virus from spreading in classrooms.
Fever fever hit Kentucky, where dissatisfaction with coronavirus restrictions and the results of the Breonna Taylor death investigation spurred petitions to remove the governor and the attorney general. Although Kentucky has provocative elected officials, it is rare in the Bluegrass State to play cards in this way.

Since China implemented the national security law on Hong Kong, about 7,000 Hong Kong people have fled to the UK. The British government predicts that, according to the Associated Press, more than 300,000 people will be granted extended residency rights in the next five years. Britain announced a new visa program on Sunday, the day after China said it would no longer treat Hong Kongers’ BN overseas passports as valid travel documents or proof of identity, which has exacerbated tensions between the two countries. Pushing the news: The British government announced in July last year that the security law passed a new British citizenship pathway for Hong Kong people who qualify for BNO, which was obtained by people who had lived in the city before. The British government handed over its former colony to China in 1997. *According to the proposal, these Hong Kong people and their families have the right to stay in the UK for 5 years. When will they be able to work or study? *They will then be allowed to apply for "settlement status" and obtain citizenship in another year, Axios Dave Lawler pointed out. Big picture: Some Hong Kong people told AP that they were leaving because they feared that they would be punished for supporting the democratic protest movement. In recent months, several celebrities have been arrested or imprisoned. * "Many others" said that China's erosion of the high degree of autonomy they previously enjoyed has become "unbearable" and their children have a better future. The Associated Press pointed out: "Most people say they don't plan to go back." The news read by CEOs, entrepreneurs and high-level politicians makes them smarter and faster.

After a five-day lockdown was triggered by an infection of a hotel guard in Perth, Australia's two consecutive weeks of no community Covid transmission has ended. On Sunday afternoon, officials in Western Australia announced that a hotel security had tested positive for Covid-19 and speculated that the man might have also been a carpool driver.

Alienated and personal hygiene, and undergoing inspections, Western Australian Prime Minister Mark McGowan said: "You have symptoms. "It is believed that this man was infected with a new and more infectious strain of Covid-19, such as the British and Brazilian strains. They pointed out that in the catastrophic second wave of 2020 in Melbourne, The use of temporary security in several locations is a driving factor. McGowan announced that the Labour Party will suspend the campaign and blockade, and voters are scheduled to vote on March 13.

Republican lawmakers in state capitols across the country are moving swiftly to criticize certain voting methods, which have contributed to the highest turnout in presidential elections in 50 years. Although most legislative sessions have just begun, the Brennan Center for Justice, a public policy agency, has counted more than 100 bills in 28 states to restrict voting rights. More than a third of these proposals are designed to restrict mail voting, while other bills seek to strengthen voter ID requirements and registration processes, and allow more aggressive measures to expel people from the voter list.

The new research aims to provide telephone companies with tools to help curb robocalls. Peter Dazeley/The picture library research profile via Getty Images is a short excerpt of interesting academic works. It is a good idea that over 80% of robocalls come from fake numbers-answering or not answering these calls has no effect on the number of calls you will get. These are the two main findings of our 11-month unsolicited phone study from February 2019 to January 2020. To better understand how these unwelcome callers work, we monitored every call received from more than 66,000 phone lines at the Robocall Observatory at North Carolina State University in the Telephone Security Laboratory. During the research process, we received 1.48 million unsolicited calls. We answered some of these calls, while others made us ring. Contrary to popular belief, we found that answering calls has no effect on the number of automatic calls received by the phone number. Throughout the research process, the weekly automatic call volume remained unchanged. As part of the research, we also developed the first method to identify the robot call activity that led to a large number of such annoying, illegal and fraudulent robot calls. The main types of robot call activities are related to student loans, health insurance, Google business listings, general financial fraud and long-running social security scams. Through the use of these technologies, we have learned that, on average, more than 80% of calls in each robot call activity use fake or short-lived phone numbers to make calls they don't need. Criminals use these phone numbers to deceive their victims, making it more difficult to identify and prosecute illegal robot callers. We have also seen that some fraudulent automated telephone wiretapping activities caused government agencies to impersonate for many months without being discovered. They used messages in English and Mandarin and threatened victims with serious consequences. This information targets the disadvantaged, including immigrants and the elderly. Why important providers can use a time-consuming manual process (called backtracking) to determine the true source of the call. Today, too many robocalls cannot be used as a practical solution that goes back to every call. Our automated telephone campaign recognition technology is not only a powerful research tool. Service providers can also use it to identify large-scale robocalling operations. Using our method, the provider only needs to investigate a small number of calls for each robocalling event. By targeting sources of abuse of robocall, service providers can block or shut down these operations and protect their subscribers from fraud and illegal telemarketing. Vendors are deploying a new technology called STIR/SHAKEN, which may prevent robocallers from spoofing their phone numbers. Once deployed, it will simplify the backtracking of calls, but not for providers using older technologies. Call bots can also quickly adapt to new situations, so they can find a solution to STIR/SHAKEN. No one knows how automated callers interact with victims and how often they change their strategies. For example, more and more automated phones and crooks are using COVID-19 as a prerequisite to deceive people. What's the next step In the next few years, we will continue to study robocall. We will investigate whether STIR/SHAKEN reduces robot calls. We are also developing technology to better identify, understand, and assist providers and law enforcement targets in automated phone operations.
