‘Everything can happen’: Trossard confident of Arsenal’s chances in final

  • Winger insists side can overcome PSG or Bayern

  • Ødegaard takes ‘massive confidence’ from semi-final

Arsenal will travel to Budapest for the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich with no trace of an inferiority complex, according to Leandro Trossard, who knows that anything is possible in a one-off game.

The Arsenal winger and his teammates drank in the euphoria after Tuesday night’s 1-0 home win over Atlético Madrid in the semi-final second-leg for a 2-1 aggregate triumph, savouring the achievement and the sense of history. Arsenal have only contested one previous final in the competition, losing to Barcelona in 2006.

Cut borrowing costs for poorer countries to free up $900bn for development – report

G77 nations spend $8tn a year servicing debts, but analysis shows how comprehensive relief could benefit social spending

Cutting debt servicing costs for the world’s poorest countries could free up $900bn (£660bn) a year for development, a new report to the UN secretary general has claimed.

Prepared by advocacy group Development Finance International (DFI) with the support of the Norwegian government and launched in Oslo today, the analysis warned that the world is facing “the worst ever debt-provoked development crisis”.

Flogging a wooden horse: how faithful will Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey be?

In a rare interview, the director has said he wants to do justice to Homer’s ‘original non-linear narrative’. How will that translate on screen?

New trailer for Nolan’s The Odyssey released online

The excitement around Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming film of the Odyssey has been taken up a notch this week with the launch of a new trailer and the director appearing on Stephen Colbert’s US chatshow to give a rare interview.

With fresh information emerging about the film, which is scheduled to be released on 17 July, it’s worth taking stock of what we know about Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s ancient Greek epic, starring Matt Damon as Odysseus. And how faithful to the original poem is it likely to be?

Taiwan cops say student's radio kit brought bullet trains to a standstill

A university student in Taiwan is out on bail after being accused of interfering with signals sent to the country's high-speed rail network, bringing trains to a halt. In a statement issued to local media, Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) confirmed that a 48-minute disruption to three trains on April 5 was caused by a rogue General Alarm signal of the kind triggered by specialized equipment used by train station staff. This General Alarm signal was sent via a terrestrial trunked radio (TETRA) handset at Taichung Station. Staff followed protocol and engaged their emergency response plans, which in turn instructed trains to manually stop. These devices are not the kind commuters usually carry around. Functioning much like walkie-talkies, they are typically used by station staff to communicate with one another and train drivers. Given that these devices are most commonly used by station staff, officials initially assumed it was an inside job. Rail police and telecommunications investigators probed the case after station control room staff ruled out the possibility of official equipment having been stolen or misused by staff. Taiwan's Major Criminal Cases Unit joined the investigation on April 13 after chief prosecutor Chang Chun-hui deemed the case a threat to transportation safety. Over the course of two weeks, detectives concluded that the attack was likely carried out by the 23-year-old student, identified only by his surname Lin, who was described as a radio enthusiast. According to statements reported by UDN, officials believe Lin exploited a vulnerability in the TETRA communication network and remotely triggered the General Alarm signal using unspecified electromagnetic equipment, which police said they found while searching his residence and workplace. Following the raids, police seized seven radio devices, a laptop, two smartphones, and what appeared to be a software-defined radio (SDR) filter. Officials said they believe the way Lin allegedly triggered the General Alarm was rudimentary and involved cloning signals using equipment he bought online. Lin allegedly connected a radio to his laptop via an SDR filter, which captured the radio signal used by THSR, and configured his radio device to transmit the same signal, allowing him to trigger the General Alarm in a way that appeared to come from a station employee. Police arrested Lin on April 28, and after questioning on April 29, concluded he was most likely behind the disruption. They released Lin on bail, convinced there was no need for further detention, setting the value at NT$100,000 ($3,183). ®

Firefox integrates an ad-blocker, but not to block ads

Firefox 149 quietly shipped an interesting new feature buried in the code. As Mozilla bug #2013888 documents, the browser maker incorporated Brave's Rust-based adblock engine back in March - a detail surfaced in a blog post by Shivan Kaul Sahib, VP of Privacy and Security at Brave. The important thing here is that although Firefox has picked up the core Rust code that Brave uses for its internal ad-blocker, that's not what Firefox is using it for. Right now, in fact, it's disabled by default, but as a post from the official Firefox Reddit account says: In other words, inclusion of the code is experimental, and it's not intended for blocking ads. That's presumably also why it didn't appear in the release notes for either the early March beta or the late March release. So, yes, there is code for an ad-blocker in the last two versions of Firefox, but it’s off by default, and there’s no user interface to enable it. (There are ways round this, and we'll return to that later.) That said, the code from Brave can do this – because as it happens, the privacy-enhanced Waterfox fork of Mozilla's browser is also experimenting with a built-in ad-blocker, and it's using the same code. Waterfox recently celebrated its 15th birthday, and recent releases have an experimental built-in ad-blocker. At the time of writing, the latest version is 6.6.12, and that version's release notes mention the experimental ad-blocker, and link to the feature's feedback page which has more info. This says: Waterfox recently integrated another popular add-on. The last major release, Waterfox 6.6.0 in August last year - rebased on the new Firefox 140 ESR - included a native vertical tab bar. As revealed in a 2024 blog post, this is based on an integrated version of the popular Tree Style Tab extension. The new ad-blocker works similarly. If you enable it, on restart, Waterfox looks for other ad-blockers, such as Reg FOSS desk recommendation uBlock Origin, and offers to disable them. We tried this, and the uBO icon in the toolbar is replaced by a no-entry symbol, with a small number overlaid to show how many ads were blocked on the current page. (For instance, just two for Astronomy Picture of the Day, but 38 – and counting – for MSN.co.uk. And that's on top of network-level blocking from our Pi-hole.) So, experimental or not, adblock-rs is in there and it does work. It is possible to enable the version embedded in the desktop version of Firefox. It's controlled by two settings in about:config. The problem is that enabling it is not as simple as installing an extension, because extensions are not allowed to change those advanced settings. There is an experimental add-on called adblock-rust Manager. The README there carefully walks you through the manual steps you need to perform to enable the engine and tell it what to block, and then the add-on can monitor it and tell you what it's doing. We tried it, and it seems to do a perfectly acceptable job. For now, though, unless you're curious, we suggest staying with uBlock Origin, which works fine and isn't going anywhere. ®
