NoneAn Idaho teenager has been arrested after the body of an infant was found last month at a hospital in a box meant for people to anonymously give up a newborn. According to the Blackfoot Police Department, an 18-year-old from Twin Falls, about 130 miles southeast of Boise, had been arrested there and booked into the Bingham County Jail. She was arrested on a felony arrest warrant for failing to report a death to law enforcement officials and the coroner, police said. Police in Blackfoot responded to a report Oct. 13 of a dead baby left at Grove Creek Medical Center. Safe Haven Baby Boxes founder Monica Kelsey has said hospital staff responded immediately to an alarm indicating a baby was in the box and realized that the infant had died before being placed inside. Idaho law only allows for the surrender of an infant who is unharmed. "The Safe Haven Baby Box is intended to safely and anonymously allow custodial parents to surrender a newborn under 30 days old without legal repercussions, provided the child is unharmed," police said in the social media post. "Unfortunately, the placement of a harmed or deceased infant is not protected under this system or Idaho law." The baby had been wrapped in a blanket, and the placenta was still attached, Kelsey said previously. Police declined to release additional information. More charges are possible.

A stark warning from Booking.com (reported by the BBC) highlights a 900 percent increase in travel scams over the past 18 months, with artificial intelligence playing a key role in promoting such nefarious deeds. In 2023, victims of travel scams in the U.S. lost a total of $265,000 , with nearly 1 in 4 travellers (24 percent) losing $1,000 or more to a single scam. In relation to this, the company AIPRM has compiled a list of the top AI-driven threats travellers should watch out for. Fake airline and hotel booking websites Many criminals create convincing websites that mimic legitimate travel booking platforms. Often advertising irresistible prices for flights and accommodations, these sites lure travellers with offers that seem too good to miss. Fraudsters also often play on urgency, using phrases like “limited-time sale” or “only 1 left” to push consumers into making quick decisions. Once you input your details, scammers can steal your personal and financial information, leaving you with a ticket to nowhere and out of pocket. The best advice is to watch out for suspicious URLs, small spelling errors or anything that feels off about the website’s design or offers. Double-check through official channels and read verified reviews before submitting your personal information. AI chatbots offering fake travel deals AI-powered chatbots can be used by scammers to impersonate customer service representatives, offering huge discounts on flights, hotels, or holiday packages. These bots may ask for sensitive personal information or prompt users to pay upfront for non-existent trips. To avoid falling victim, verify any deals or offers you find online through official travel websites and avoid providing payment information through unfamiliar channels. If something feels too rushed, it’s a red flag. Double-check all details and confirm through official customer service numbers or emails before finalizing any travel booking. Phishing emails and text messages One in five people click on AI-generated phishing emails . Scammers are using AI to craft highly convincing phishing content disguised as legitimate companies. Imagine receiving a text or email claiming your flight is cancelled, and to avoid losing your reservation, you must click a link and enter your payment details immediately. The pressure to act quickly could lead you to inadvertently put your financial information into the hands of fraudsters. AI-generated holiday reviews Fake AI-generated airline reviews have skyrocketed by 189 percent, while Tripadvisor alone flagged a record 2 million reviews as fake on its platform last year. With the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT, scammers can now generate hundreds of seemingly genuine, glowing reviews in minutes, making it harder for travelers to distinguish between real and fraudulent content. Fake travel itineraries and AI-generated images While many travellers nowadays use AI to help plan their trips, scammers are also taking advantage of this technology to create professional-looking itineraries designed to deceive. These fake itineraries often feature attractive holiday packages that promise an unforgettable vacation at an unbeatable price, with AI-generated images used to promote false activities, making everything seem enticing.

Representative image AHMEDABAD: Delays, detentions and the constant threat of deportation have turned the American dream into a cruel nightmare for thousands of undocumented Indians in the US . They are facing the predicament mainly due to a system that leaves them waiting for years to get Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) clearance, lack of which can hamper their asylum process . Some face hearings as far off as 2027, while others, detained at the borders, are stuck in detention camps, say sources. Stranded in a legal no-man's land, they face the spectre of deportation if caught for staying illegally in the US. A staggering 41,000 Indians applied for asylum in the US in 2023, but many will have to wait for years for a hearing before ICE, the US federal agency responsible for enforcing immigration laws and investigating if the individual poses a threat to national security or public safety. According to legal document of an American agency, a man from Gujarat granted "alien status" in Atlanta was granted a hearing date in March 2027. He had applied for the hearing in Jan this year. A statement by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) about the man reads, "You are not a citizen or national of the United States. You are a native of India and a citizen of India." Official documents state that if he gets apprehended for staying illegally before his hearing is held, he risks deportation to India. In another case, a couple from Gujarat's Mehsana district was detained with their child after crossing the US-Canada border illegally in June. They were put in a detention camp and their case is pending with ICE. When the couple approached the ICE office last week, they were not allowed to enter. They recently got to know from a US agency officer that their hearing has been scheduled for Aug 2026. Meanwhile, human smuggling networks are advising clients, especially from Gujarat, to avoid citing political persecution as a reason for asylum. A source in the human smuggling network said, "US officials will strictly scrutinise people who seek asylum citing political harassment. They are more likely to face deportation, too." Videos obtained by TOI show Gujaratis illegally entering the US and falsely claiming to be workers of opposition parties, when caught. This issue was recently debated in Rajya Sabha and saw government accusing asylum seekers of "maligning the country for personal gain". Stay updated with the latest news on Times of India .

The company failed to increase its capital by the deadline of Nov 29, the OIC said in a statement. The insurer was found to have several operational shortcomings, including prepayment to related companies without clear proof of services, lending money to high-risk companies, investing in real estate with related parties without board approval and withdrawing cash advances without proper documentation. The OIC ordered KWI to take corrective action to meet the capital adequacy ratio. The order includes increasing its paid-up capital by at least 95 million baht by Dec 20, with further increases scheduled on specified dates. The company is also prohibited from undertaking the following actions until its capital funds meet the legal requirements: issuing new insurance policies or expanding coverage of existing policies; engaging in high-risk investments or conducting unauthorised business activities; incurring new obligations except for routine expenses approved by the registrar, with the approval of the OIC (such as employment contracts or business-related expenses); appointing additional insurance agents or brokers; and acquiring the operations of other companies. This ban should prevent potential harm to policyholders and the public, said the regulator, adding KWI's operations will not affect existing insurance coverage or claims under existing policies. Policyholders are assured their entitlements will continue to be honoured, noted the OIC. "The OIC will closely monitor the company's actions. If further violations are detected, legal action will be taken accordingly," said the regulator. The Stock Exchange of Thailand yesterday instructed KWI to clarify facts and effects to the company's financial positions and operating results from the OIC order via SET's disclosure system by Dec 4. The bourse also recommends investors carefully study information before making investment decisions related to KWI.
PARIS, Nov 22 (Reuters) - France wrapped up their autumn nations series in style with a 37-23 victory against Argentina for their third win in as many tests at the Stade de France on Friday. Six days after beating New Zealand 30-29, Fabien Galthie's side were never in real trouble against the Pumas, with a penalty try and tries by Thibaud Flament, Gabin Villiere and Louis Bielle-Biarrey while Thomas Ramos had another perfect kicking day with 15 points. Argentina scored second-half tries by Thomas Gallo and Ignacio Ruiz, with Tomas Albornoz kicking the rest of their points, but lacked discipline to challenge Les Bleus a week after a 22-19 defeat to Ireland. France, who also beat Japan in their first outing earlier this month, will now be the favourites for the Six Nations, which starts on Jan. 31. Coach Galthie drew positives from the series, with a lot of turnover, after France were the only team from the northern hemisphere to win all their tests. "We had decided to make changes because that test was coming only six days after the All Blacks," he said. "There is a lot of competition in this squad and it's good for everyone. We had a weird year after the World Cup but for this series we had the best possible team of the moment," he added, already looking towards the 2027 World Cup. "Until then we only have 30 tests. It seems a lot but it's coming quickly," he said. Argentina put the early pressure, working through the phases to wear down the French defence but the hosts held firm and were first on the scoreboard when Flament powered over. The Pumas were down to 14 after Julian Montoya picked up a yellow card for foul play in a ruck that resulted in prop Jean-Baptiste Gros being replaced by Reda Wardi after three minutes with a leg injury. Albornoz kicked three penalties, while Ramos slotted in two more as Argentina reduced the arrears to 13-9. But France were on the attack again and Villiere dived over after a long domination spell and Ramos converted to extend the lead to 11 points. It was 27-9 shortly afterwards with France being awarded a penalty try when Juan Martin Gonzalez volleyed the ball forward as last defender to deny Louis Bielle-Biarrey. Gonzalez was sin-binned and Ramos added a penalty to put France 30-11 at halftime. Just like against Ireland a week ago, Argentina did not give up and pulled a try back when Gallo bundled over, only for France to dash the visitors' hopes of a comeback with Bielle-Biarrey collecting his own grazing kick for France's fourth try. The Argentina forwards kept France under pressure, however, and Ruiz touched down as Les Bleus suffered physically. But the hosts' defence held firm to preserve a deserved win, with a couple of dodgy lineouts the only weakness they showed on the night. Sign up here.
