Australia news live: Anthony Albanese praises Sally McManus and Michele O’Neil as ‘giants’ as they step down from ACTU

Prime minister pays tribute to secretary and president of the Australian Council of Trade Unions after surprise announcement. Follow updates live Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast ACTU president says now is the ‘right time’ to leave Michele O’Neil, the president of the Australian Council of Trade Unions, said it’s the “right time” to leave after she announced her departure alongside ACTU secretary Sally McManus. We thought about this and we just think that it’s time for renewal. The union movement is in good shape. We’ve seen changes in workers’ rights that have made a big difference in workers’ lives. We’ve seen the union movement starting to grow for the first time in decades. And next year will be the 100th anniversary of the ACTU. So we think it’s time for a new leadership team to come in. We have a debt heading towards $200bn in this state. We have teachers out striking in the streets because the state government and Ben Carroll can’t secure a pay deal. We have holes in the roads. You need a majority government to fix those problems, and you need someone with a plan. Now he might performatively call a royal commission tokenistically, now that he’s become leader, but that’s not out of sincere concern about corruption. That’s out of sincere concern about the polls and what that means for Victorian Labor. Continue reading...

Tornado that blackened midday sky rips roofs off homes and flips vehicles in town of Menasha A tornado struck north-eastern Wisconsin on Monday, blackening the midday sky and sending workers sheltering in office basements as ferocious winds splintered homes, scattered twisted metal across a highway and knocked out power to more than 30,000 people.

“정답 미리 안 정하고, 시민과 실행 가능한 일자리 해법 찾겠다”

“하나의 방안을 정답으로 정해 놓고 찬반을 물어 토론하는 것도 대화의 한 방식입니다. 그러나 공론화 특별위원회는 다른 방식으로 대화합니다. 질문을 먼저 던지고 질문에 가장 들어맞는 구체적 실천 방안을 찾을 것입니다.” 16일 오후 서울 종로구 경제사회노동위원회(경사노위) 대회의실에서 열린 ‘인구구조 변화와 일자리 공론화 특별위원회(공론화 특위)’ 발족식에서 김지형 경사노위 위원장은 이같이 말했다. 이날 출범한 공론화 특위는 저출생·고령화 등 인구구조 변화로 인한 생산가능인구 감소 위기에 대응하고 지속 가능한 일자리 방안을 모색하기 위해 구성됐다. 고령 인력의 지속적 활용과 청년의 노동시장 진입이 조화를 이룰 수 있는 ‘상생 일자리’, 노동생애주기 전반에서 단절 없이 일할 수 있는 ‘평생 일자리’ 등을 핵심 의제로 선정해 앞으로 6개월간 사회적 공론을 추진할 계획이다. 특위는 김 위원장이 직접 위원장을 맡고 노동계, 경영계, 정부, 공익위원 등 15명이 참여한다.● 시민 의견 직

[단독]“두더지 심기보다 사람 빼가기… 1명 가면 기업비밀 다 따라가”

국내 이차전지 기업의 한 핵심 연구원은 2023년 퇴직 후 건설사에 재취업했다. 그는 건설사를 3개월만 다닌 뒤 다시 외국 배터리 기업의 한국 지사로 이직했다. 건설사 이직을 전 직장과의 법적 분쟁을 피하기 위한 ‘경력 세탁’으로 활용한 것이다. 국가정보원 산업기밀보호센터가 조사한 결과 이 연구원은 전 회사 기술자료 12건을 빼돌려 보관하고 있었다. 외장 하드디스크 등 저장장치를 회사 업무용 컴퓨터에 무단 연결했던 사실도 드러났다. 산업기밀보호센터 조사관은 “이 연구원이 이직한 외국 기업 한국 지사에는 이미 같은 회사 출신이 여럿 근무하던 상황”이라며 “위장 취업용 인력 세탁 통로로 건설사가 활용된 것”이라고 말했다.● “파일보다 사람” ‘두더지’ 대신 인력 빼오기산업 스파이의 세계에서는 경쟁사에 스파이를 투입해 기술을 몰래 빼오는 방식을 일명 ‘두더지 심기’라고 부른다. 하지만 이 방식은 내부 보안망을 뚫어야 하는 데다 적발 위험이 크다. 본보와 만난 조사관은 “두더지를 심

Xbox’s huge outage even blocked games on disc

An extended Xbox outage that began Sunday evening hasn't just caused issues for people trying to play digital games - it blocked people from playing their disc-based games, too. Xbox's status page initially reported the outage on Sunday at about 11PM ET, and it has also prevented people from logging in, launching apps, or finding games on the Xbox store. This morning, the page also noted that users "may have problems" playing their digital and disc games, which posts on social media confirmed. During that time, my colleague Richard Lawler was able to launch digital games he owned, but trying to boot up games tied to Game Pass popped up erro … Read the full story at The Verge.

Why China is giving away its best AI models

People visit the booth of Kimi, an LLM developed by the Chinese startup Moonshot, during the World AI Conference in Shanghai, China, July 20th. | Image: LONG WEI/ Feature China/Future Publishing via Getty Images Silicon Valley has spent much of the past week on red alert, digesting the arrival of Moonshot AI's Kimi K3, a Chinese AI model that can allegedly beat some of the best systems built by US companies at a fraction of the cost. Its performance alone would have been enough to intensify the rivalry between the US and China. But Moonshot's plan to release the model's weights for free - and its clear targeting of US users - has fueled deeper unease about whether closed American models can continue to dominate as increasingly capable open alternatives enter the market. Open-weight models give developers far greater control than proprietary syst … Read the full story at The Verge.

YouTube Premium will include Peacock starting next year

YouTube's ad-free Premium subscription is getting another perk: access to Peacock. In an announcement on Monday, NBCUniversal says the multi-year agreement will allow Premium subscribers to stream Peacock's ad-supported shows, movies, and live sports directly through the YouTube app in 2027. YouTube will bundle Peacock in its standard subscription, which increased to $15.99 / month in April, YouTube spokesperson Jessica Gibby confirmed to The Verge. That makes it cheaper than subscribing to both services individually, as Peacock currently starts at $10.99 / month for its ad-supported plan. The news of the deal comes at a pivotal time for P … Read the full story at The Verge.

Amazons trying to launch a global satellite cellphone network in 2028

Amazon filed an FCC application on Saturday to launch a new Leo satellite constellation that will provide direct-to-device satellite service for "voice, messaging, data, and emergency services." If approved, Amazon will begin deploying the new constellation of 5,105 satellites in 2028. It says it plans to partner with mobile network operators to offer direct-to-device satellite service, similar to Starlink's partnership with T-Mobile. Earlier this year, Amazon announced it's acquiring Globalstar's satellite network and taking over its deal to provide direct-to-device satellite services for Apple devices. Amazon says its new constellation w … Read the full story at The Verge.

The Guardian view on ancient DNA: a female shaman exposes our flawed assumptions about the past | Editorial

Thanks to new technology we are are acquiring insights into earlier times, and realising how little we truly know Archaeologists believe the Upton Lovell Shaman, who lived in what is now Wiltshire 4,000 years ago, was an important religious leader and metalworker because of the artefacts and tools buried with the body. Until very recently it was also believed, on considerably slimmer evidence, that this shaman was a man: it was simply assumed that someone of such status must be male, and the view was barely questioned over the years. Now ancient DNA analysis performed at the Francis Crick Institute has revealed that the body, held by the Wiltshire Museum, is in fact a woman. That should cause a stir in bronze-age studies. But it is also yet another example of how many of our assumptions about human history have been upended by the rise of ancient DNA analysis over the past two decades. Others include the revelation that there were (frequent) liaisons between humans and Neanderthals just 50,000 years ago, a reconstruction suggesting that the first modern Britons had “dark to black” skin, and the closing of longstanding mysteries such as what really killed two members of Italy’s powerful Medici family in the 16th century (probably malaria, not murder as was often believed). Every time we widen our keyhole view of the past even slightly, we are confronted by how many of our seemingly grounded assumptions are, in fact, wrong.
