Researchers launch “moonshot” to cure blindness through eye transplants
This series—led by the Futures Lab and featuring scholars across CSIS—explores emerging challenges and opportunities likely to shape peace negotiations to end the war in Ukraine. All contributions in the series can be found by visiting Strategic Headwinds: Understanding the Forces Shaping Ukraine’s Path to Peace . In modern war, silicon chips are the new gunpowder. Microelectronics pass information allowing weapons to become more accurate. Information is a critical source of military power. This trend hangs over the war in Ukraine and any effort to broker a peace treaty. Leaders in Kyiv need to know that Russia won’t be able to resupply its war machine and turn any negotiation into a pause to rearm. That requires that the incoming Trump administration increase efforts to stem the flow of electronics to Russia and build in more robust enforcement mechanisms that persist after the conflict. Russian forces rely on imported technology to support everything from drone attacks along the frontlines to firepower strikes against Ukrainian critical infrastructure . A major failure in the United States and other democracies is that electronics continue to flow into Russia almost three years into a war widely condemned. To date, sanctions designed to limit the flow of systems required to stem the flow of enablers to Moscow have often been late and often ineffective . This is not for lack of trying. The United States issued its first sanctions in February 2022, targeting Russian banks, including Promsvyazbank and Sberbank. In coordination with the European Union, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, Taiwan, and New Zealand, these efforts were followed by placing export controls on software, equipment, and technology and later expanded to include sanctions targeting key Russian military and political leaders. Part of the problem was a narrow view of the conflict. Both Washington and Brussels took two years to expand sanctions to cover particularly malign countries like China that have continued to ship electronics required to support Russian weapons. It took over 20 months for the Biden administration to issue an executive order authorizing secondary sanctions on non-U.S. banks linked to transactions supporting Russia’s military-industrial base. While the United States moved early to target “sanctions evasion networks and Russian technology companies,” it took almost two years to grow the list from 21 entities and 13 individuals to 275 individuals and entities involved with supplying Russia with advanced technology, covering 17 jurisdictions including India, China, Switzerland, Thailand, and Turkey. Now, the U.S. Department of Commerce maintains a Common High Priority List that outlines what technologies are subject to stringent export controls to disrupt Moscow’s military machine. This list is divided into multiple tiers reflecting the complex supply chains that produce key electronic and precursor components used in modern precision-guided weapons. The challenge also extends to intelligence. Russia finds it easy to bypass sanctions and access global supply chains by paying companies outside of Russia to purchase key electronic components despite secondary sanctions. This evasion mechanism is why multiple countries from Central Asian states to Italy and Austria have seen key exports to Russia rise since the start of the war. Recent U.S. Department of Treasury actions show how extensive this network was in Turkey, which included GRU-linked companies—GRU being Russia's foreign military intelligence agency—and multiple networks covering business operations across Europe. For example, the Mirex Network included businesses in Bulgaria used to deliver electronic warfare systems to Russia. In another case, NXP—a Dutch company—provided key components to Russian missiles, including the Kh-101 . These weapons are a key part of Russia’s ongoing firepower strike campaign used to attack Ukrainian critical infrastructure . To set conditions for negotiations, Russian leaders need to know they will find it increasingly difficult to evade sanctions on imports of key electronics. That will require bolstering intelligence support to sanctions monitoring and expanding sanctions to address new evasion networks. First, the incoming Trump administration will need to bolster intelligence support for sanctions. There are signs the December 2023 executive order may be starting to have an effect . Those effects can be amplified if the United States can identify Russian efforts to evade sanctions through willing companies around the world early enough to stem the flow. That means rapidly declassifying and sharing intelligence with key partners and creating entire task forces to break the supply chain. Second, those efforts could also extend to covert action and cyber operations. Consider the infamous 1982 case of the Trans-Siberian gas pipeline explosion. In the final stages of the Cold War, Soviet spies engaged in technology espionage targeting western electronics and software firms to steal designs. To combat the theft, the United States planted a trojan in pipeline control software stolen by the KGB leading to a massive explosion in Siberia that produced both tangible economic damage and more intangible psychological effects. Finding creative ways to corrupt the Kremlin’s technology imports should be on the table as the new Trump administration enters office. Third, any negotiation process is likely to be marked by a complicated ceasefire and monitoring regime. Peace processes normally include at least three ceasefire agreements before they stabilize. In extreme cases, this can reach as high as 68 ceasefire agreements, as seen in the Bosnian conflict in the 1990s. As a result, coercive measures like sanctions against Russia’s war machine must extend beyond the initial talks. Washington should signal these punitive measures will continue as long as their clear indications that Russia seeks to use force to settle territorial disputes. Putin needs to know he will face high costs in rearming in the future to change the bargaining calculus in the present. In modern warfare, control over technology equates to control over power. As the war in Ukraine demonstrates, the ability to disrupt Russia’s access to critical electronics is central to shaping the battlefield and the negotiating table alike. Sanctions, intelligence-driven enforcement, and innovative measures must converge to ensure Moscow cannot sustain its war machine. This requires not only addressing current evasion networks but also establishing long-term mechanisms to monitor and curtail future flows of technology. As the incoming administration crafts its strategy, the goal must be clear: use every tool available to break Russia’s reliance on imported microelectronics, shift the balance of power, and lay the groundwork for a peace that endures.

The home team are eighth in the top flight with 18 points from 12 games and beat Borussia Dortmund 1-0 in the previous round on October 29, while their opponents emerged as 2-1 victors against Nurnberg on October 30 and are fifth last in 14th with 12 points after 12 matchweeks. © Imago The Wolves progressed to the round of 16 thanks to a 117th-minute winner from Jonas Wind , who reacted quickest to a loose ball in the box and instinctively struck into the bottom-left corner. Manager Ralph Hasenhuttl will have been delighted with his side's last outing on November 30 when his team beat RB Leipzig 5-1 . Wolfsburg raced into a three-goal lead after just 16 minutes, and it should be noted that Die Roten Bullen had only conceded nine goals prior to their defeat on Saturday. Hasenhuttl's team are in strong form and are unbeaten in their last six outings, winning their three most recent matches by a cumulative score of 9-2. The hosts have won six of their past eight fixtures in the DFB-Pokal, but while they are undefeated in their last three home games, they have lost two, drawn two and won two of their past six matches at Volkswagen Arena. © Imago Opponents Hoffenheim started life under new boss Christian Ilzer well, winning 4-3 against RB Leipzig on November 23, but they lost their subsequent two games under him. Ilzer's team were beaten 2-0 by Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga on Sunday, a match in which they faced four big chances and created just one of their own. Die Kraichgauer have scored 17 goals and conceded 24 times in the league, and these records make them the division's 11th best offensive and joint third worst defensive club in the top flight. Hoffenheim are in poor form having lost three, drawn two and triumphed in just one of their last six fixtures, though they have won five of their past seven outings in the DFB-Pokal. Their is no mitigating the fact that the visitors' away form has been disappointing considering they have failed to win any of their last nine matches on the road, losing five and drawing four in that time. © Imago The hosts will be without forwards Bartosz Bialek , Kevin Paredes and Lovro Majer , so perhaps they will field a frontline consisting of Patrick Wimmer , Ridle Baku , Mohamed El Amine Amoura and Jakub Kaminski . Midfielder Aster Vranckx has been ruled out, as has left-back Rogerio , centre-back Sebastiaan Bornauw and goalkeeper Niklas Klinger . Expect Wolfsburg to field a backline of Kilian Fischer , Denis Vavro , Konstantinos Koulierakis and Joakim Maehle . Meanwhile, Hoffenheim are also dealing with several absentees, including defenders Ozan Kabak , Christopher Lenz and Florian Grillitsch . Midfielders Grischa Promel and Finn Becker will not be available, so perhaps Ilzer will start Anton Stach and Tom Bischof in a double pivot. Forwards Marius Bulter and Ihlas Bebou are set to miss out, and this could mean that Adam Hlozek , Andrej Kramaric , Jacob Brunn Larsen and Haris Tabakovic are chosen to lead the visitors' attack. Wolfsburg possible starting lineup: Grabara; Fischer, Vavro, Koulierakis, Maehle; Dardai, Arnold; Baku, Wimmer, Amoura; Kaminski Hoffenheim possible starting lineup: Baumann; Kaderabek, Chaves, Nsoki, Prass; Stach, Bischof; Hlozek, Kramariz, Larsen; Tabakovic Hoffenheim's away record is concerning, and the fact that they have continued to lose despite the arrival of a new manager suggests that many of their issues on the pitch are extensive and not so easily resolved. It is hard to overlook Wolfsburg's exceptional form of late and if they can replicate their last performance, then it would not be surprising if they scored multiple goals on Wednesday.

Panaji: To enhance food safety standards and to ensure hygiene in restaurants operating in the state, the Directorate of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will conduct a thorough hygiene audit of all restaurants across the state. According to FDA, there are around 10,000 restaurants operating in Goa. The move comes against the backdrop of several complaints received from locals as well as tourists of unsanitary conditions in a few restaurants operating in the state. “In response to the numerous complaints received from both, local residents and tourists regarding unsanitary conditions in a few restaurants in Goa, the Food and Drug Administration has been instructed to implement stringent measures with immediate effect,” said Health Minister Vishwajit Rane in a post on social media. Officers of FDA and Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI)-empanelled third-party auditors will conduct the hygiene inspections in all restaurants. “Every restaurant is now required to obtain and prominently display an official hygiene rating certificate on their premises. These comprehensive audits will evaluate adherence to FSSAI food safety standards, maintenance of proper sanitation protocols, staff hygiene training practices and waste management systems,” said Rane. He said restaurant owners must ensure full compliance with these requirements, as non-compliance may result in strict action under the existing food safety regulations. “The primary objective of this initiative is to enhance food safety standards and restore public confidence in Goa’s restaurant industry. Restaurant owners seeking clarification or additional information may contact the FDA office during regular office hours,” he said.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams have claimed cornerback Emmanuel Forbes off waivers from Washington. The Rams (6-6) announced the move Monday. They waived undrafted rookie defensive back Charles Woods to make room on the roster. Forbes was the 16th overall draft pick in 2023, but the Commanders released him Saturday in yet another latest flop for their first-round selections under former coach Ron Rivera. Forbes started 10 games as a rookie, but the Mississippi State product got benched during the season — and his playing time dwindled to almost nothing under new coach Dan Quinn this season. Forbes was considered undersized to be an elite NFL defensive back before Washington used a first-round pick on him, and his play did little to discourage that perception. But the Rams are taking a flier on Forbes to help their mediocre pass defense. Darious Williams, a member of the Rams' Super Bowl championship team who returned to Los Angeles this season as a free agent, has been their best cover corner, but he struggled in Sunday's victory over New Orleans. Third-year pro Cobie Durant has started all 12 games this season with one interception. Los Angeles already traded Tre'Davious White, its other major offseason signing at cornerback, after the former Pro Bowler failed to perform. The Rams shipped White to Baltimore for a seventh-round pick swap last month. Woods has played in nine games for the Rams, appearing mostly on special teams. Los Angeles hosts Buffalo on Sunday. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFLBears cornerback Jaylon Johnson didn’t care that word of his confrontation with former coach Matt Eberflus got out after the team lost to the Lions. Johnson felt it needed to be said. “I don’t really give a damn about too much of it,” he said Monday on 670 The Score’s Spiegel and Holmes Show. “At some point, enough is enough as far as expressing frustrations... It’s not my first go-around with firing. It’s a business. Guys get fired all the time. “I was not some major part of him getting fired. That’s not on me. But there was frustration and words from myself that I expressed just from losing. I’ve been losing for five years. A high-level player like myself, after a certain point — Somebody has to express something. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing and it went the way it went.” Johnson was mad about Eberflus mishandling the end of the game , but lost it when Eberflus delivered a post-game speech that the coach recounted as something along the lines of, “I know it’s hard. I know it’s difficult. We have a lot to be thankful for.” That was too much for Johnson, who said his emotions were running so high that he couldn’t remember everything he said to Eberflus in front of the team. “Hearing certain things and seeing the way things went these past few weeks... You could say last few weeks, but for me it’s the last five years of my career,” Johnson said. “I’m used to winning, and I haven’t done that since I’ve been in a Bears uniform.” The loss to the Lions was the final blow to Eberflus, who mismanaged the clock at the end of the game as the Bears lost 23-20 and ended the game on an incomplete pass in Lions territory with a timeout still in hand. Johnson joined the Bears under the previous administration. He was drafted in the second round by former general manager Ryan Pace and began his career playing for ex-coach Matt Nagy. The Bears have gone 28-51 during his time with them.Researchers launch “moonshot” to cure blindness through eye transplants
