Written by ALASTAIR GRANT and JILL LAWLESS FAIRFORD, England (AP) — Police were holding five men on Monday and examining suspected explosives found near a U.S.-operated air force base in England, as counterterror detectives investigated whether the arrests foiled an attempted attack linked to Iran. The men were detained early Sunday after three vans were spotted near RAF Fairford, a U.K.-owned base that has been used by American bombers during decades of conflicts in the Middle East. Investigators have not concluded whether the incident is a state-backed attack. They are investigating a possible link to Iran, Russia or non-state-backed militant groups. RAF Fairford has also been the focus of protests by anti-war campaigners. Iran denied involvement. It’s London embassy said it “categorically rejects and strongly condemns the recent unfounded and malicious speculations” about the incident. The five suspects, who have not been named, were initially held over suspected explosives offenses, and later also arrested on suspicion of preparing an act of terrorism. Police said the men are all British nationals from London and in their 20s. They can be held in custody for up to 14 days before they must be charged or released. Residents were evacuated from 85 homes in the village of Whelford near the base on Sunday and army bomb-disposal experts used a robot to examine three white vans. The villagers had not been able to go home as of Monday morning, and the vans had not yet been moved. A B1 USAF bomber on the tarmac at RAF Fairford in Fairford, England, Monday Sept. 2, 2026. (Photo via AP Photo/Alastair Grant.) Arrests came after reports of suspicious vehicles President Donald Trump said the suspects had been detained following cooperation between the U.S. and Britain, and had been “under view” for some time. Police, however, said the arrests were triggered by a late-night call about “suspicious vehicles” near the base. British Defense Secretary Wes Streeting declined to give details of the operation, but said “it was a proud moment” that Trump had recognized “the work that our police and intelligence services do every day.” “As and when we can, we will report back to the public about these individuals and about the nature of the threat,” Streeting told Times Radio. The arrests come at a time of heightened tensions around the threat from hostile states, with British intelligence services saying Russia and Iran have both used proxies to commit crimes on British soil. In March, officials said the number of national security cases involving activity by hostile states, including Iran, increased 50% in the six months to December 2025. Iran has been linked to a series of attacks in Europe Britain did not join the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran that began Feb. 28 and initially denied Trump’s request to use bases in the U.K. to strike Iran. But then-Prime Minister Keir Starmer agreed in March to let the U.S. use bases in Britain for what he called “defensive” operations against Iran’s missiles and their launch sites following Iranian attacks on U.K. interests and Britain’s allies in the Gulf. American B-1 and B-52 bombers have taken off from Fairford, 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of London, for operations during the Iran conflict. Iran has said it considers any base used to attack its territory a legitimate target. British security officials say proxies linked to Iran have been behind a string of arson and sabotage attempts in the U.K. and other countries, many of them targeting the Jewish community. They have previously warned that Tehran could expand its targets in the U.K. if conflicts in the Middle East continue. British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said Monday that the incident is a “reminder of the threats our country faces.” Miliband met Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi at the United Nations in New York last week and told him that “Britain will not tolerate intimidation, threats or hostile activity on U.K. soil,” according to a U.K. readout of the conversation. U.S. Air Force says personnel remain vigilant The U.S. Air Force said its personnel based at RAF Fairford “remain vigilant,” but “for operational security reasons we will not discuss specific force protection measures.” The U.S. Embassy in London has warned Americans in Britain to be cautious and mindful of their personal security. Trump said authorities had the suspects “under view for a long time and we got them.” “It was an amazing job. We had them under investigation. They were looking to do big damage to our fort. And working with the British worked out great,” he told reporters in Chicago on Sunday.

Blurring a license plate is one line of OpenCV. Knowing where the plate is — in 10,000 photos, at every angle, on every kind of car — is the actual job. And once it's done, the question nobody plans for arrives: which of those 10,000 should a person actually look at before they go public? This walkthrough covers both. It uses the API4AI Image Anonymization API, which finds and blurs plates (and faces, if you want) and leaves the rest of the photo untouched. The script at the end runs a whole folder, keeps the folder structure, survives rate limits and failures, and writes a CSV of every plate it hid — which turns out to be the most useful part. It's for archives, rental fleets, marketplace uploads, street photography, datasets: anywhere the scene has to stay and only the plate has to go. If you're a car dealer who wants the background replaced as well, skip to the end — there's a no-code route for that. One request curl -X POST "https://api4ai.cloud/img-anonymization/v1/results?mode=hide-clp" \ -H "X-API-KEY: $API4AI_KEY" \ -F "image=@car.jpg" mode=hide-clp means "hide car license plates". The other mode is hide-face. Leave mode out entirely and the API hides everything it supports — plates and faces, which is worth knowing before you run a folder of photos where faces should stay. Repeat the parameter to be explicit about both: ?mode=hide-clp&mode=hide-face. The photo goes in as multipart form data: a file in image, or a public link in url. What comes back This is the example from the docs, trimmed: { "results": [ { "status": { "code": "ok", "message": "Success" }, "name": "car.jpg", "width": 1024, "height": 768, "entities": [ { "kind": "image", "name": "anonymized-image", "format": "PNG", "image": "iVBORw0KGgoAAAA...YII=" }, { "kind": "objects", "name": "hidden-objects", "objects": [ { "box": [0.7458, 0.6651, 0.1189, 0.0745], "entities": [ { "kind": "classes", "name": "classes", "classes": { "License plate": 0.5641 } } ] } ] } ] } ] } Two entities: image — the anonymized photo, base64-encoded, in format (the docs say it's usually the same as the input format, so a JPEG in usually comes back as a JPEG). objects — every object that was hidden, with a bounding box in normalized [x, y, width, height] coordinates and a confidence between 0 and 1. Look at that confidence in the docs' own example: 0.56. The plate was found and blurred, but the model wasn't sure about it. Hold on to that — it's what makes the review step at the end work. Four things that catch people A photo the service can't read still returns HTTP 200. status.code is "failure" and status.message says why. If you only call raise_for_status(), those files silently vanish from your output folder. Pick entities by kind, not by position. Code that reads entities[0] works until it doesn't. Limits: JPEG, PNG or PDF, under 16 MB, at most 4096×4096. A PDF is split into pages and each page is processed separately, so results can hold more than one entry. Faces are included by default. Say mode=hide-clp when you mean plates only. The script Eighty-odd lines, standard library plus requests. It walks the source folder recursively, sends eight photos at a time, writes each result to the same relative path under the output folder, and logs every hidden plate to plates.csv. """Blur license plates in a folder of photos, keep the scene, log what was hidden. export API4AI_KEY=... # from portal.api4.ai python3 blur_plates.py photos/ blurred/ Writes each result under blurred/ with the same relative path, and a blurred/plates.csv with one row per hidden plate (or per photo with none). """ import base64 import csv import os import pathlib import sys import time from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor import requests URL = "https://api4ai.cloud/img-anonymization/v1/results" KEY = os.environ["API4AI_KEY"] PHOTOS = {".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png"} EXT = {"JPEG": ".jpg", "PNG": ".png"} src, dst = pathlib.Path(sys.argv[1]), pathlib.Path(sys.argv[2]) def call_api(photo, tries=4): for attempt in range(tries): with photo.open("rb") as f: r = requests.post(URL, params={"mode": "hide-clp"}, # plates only headers={"X-API-KEY": KEY}, files={"image": f}, timeout=120) if r.status_code in (429, 500, 502, 503, 504) and attempt < tries - 1: time.sleep(2 ** attempt) # 1, 2, 4 s continue r.raise_for_status() return r.json()["results"][0] def blur(photo): rel = photo.relative_to(src) done = [p for p in (dst / rel).parent.glob(rel.stem + ".*") if p.suffix != ".csv"] if done: return rel, "skipped", [] result = call_api(photo) # A photo the service can't read comes back as HTTP 200 with "failure". if result["status"]["code"] != "ok": return rel, "failed: " + result["status"]["message"], [] by_kind = {e["kind"]: e for e in result["entities"]} image = by_kind["image"] out = dst / rel.with_suffix(EXT.get(image["format"], ".png")) out.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True) out.write_bytes(base64.b64decode(image["image"])) plates = [(o["box"], max(o["entities"][0]["classes"].values())) for o in by_kind.get("objects", {}).get("objects", [])] return rel, "ok", plates photos = sorted(p for p in src.rglob("*") if p.suffix.lower() in PHOTOS) dst.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True) counts = {"ok": 0, "skipped": 0, "failed": 0} log_path = dst / "plates.csv" new_log = not log_path.exists() with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=8) as pool, open(log_path, "a", newline="") as log: writer = csv.writer(log) if new_log: writer.writerow(["file", "status", "plates", "box_xywh", "confidence"]) for rel, status, plates in pool.map(blur, photos): counts[status.split(":")[0]] += 1 if status == "skipped": continue if not plates: writer.writerow([rel, status, 0, "", ""]) for box, confidence in plates: writer.writerow([rel, status, len(plates), " ".join(f"{v:.3f}" for v in box), f"{confidence:.2f}"]) print(f"{status:>7} {len(plates)} plate(s) {rel}") print(f"\n{len(photos)} photos: {counts['ok']} blurred, " f"{counts['skipped']} already done, {counts['failed']} failed") Run it: export API4AI_KEY=... python3 blur_plates.py photos/ blurred/ What it takes care of: Resume. A photo that already has an output file is skipped, so after a crash, a failure or a Ctrl-C you just run it again. Failed photos have no output, so they get retried automatically. Rate limits and hiccups. A 429 or a 5xx waits 1, 2, then 4 seconds and tries again before giving up. Failures you can see. Anything that comes back as "failure" is counted, printed and logged with its message, not dropped. Structure. photos/2024/lot-3/car.jpg ends up at blurred/2024/lot-3/car.jpg. The count at the end. Blurred plus already-done plus failed should equal what went in. If it doesn't, something's wrong, and you know before anyone else does. Eight workers is a starting point, not a tuned number. If you start seeing a lot of 429s, lower it. The part that matters: which photos to check Here's the problem with 10,000 blurred photos: nobody is going to look at 10,000 photos. But you also can't publish them without looking at any. The CSV gives you a way to pick. Two kinds of rows deserve a human: Low confidence. The docs' own example came back at 0.56. Nothing is necessarily wrong with a low score — it means the model was less sure, which is exactly where you want a second pair of eyes. Zero plates in a photo that should have one. A front or rear shot of a car where nothing was hidden is either a car without a visible plate, or a plate that wasn't found. Only a person can tell which. import csv rows = list(csv.DictReader(open("blurred/plates.csv"))) check = [r for r in rows if r["status"] == "ok" and (r["plates"] == "0" or float(r["confidence"] or 1) < 0.6)] for r in sorted(check, key=lambda r: float(r["confidence"] or 0)): print(r["plates"], r["confidence"] or "-", r["file"]) print(f"{len(check)} of {len(rows)} rows to look at") The 0.6 threshold is arbitrary — pick one, look at what it gives you, and move it. The point is that the review list is now a few hundred files ranked by how unsure the model was, not ten thousand in alphabetical order. The boxes help too. They're normalized, so x * width and y * height give you pixels, and you can crop a thumbnail of each hidden region into a contact sheet and flick through it in a minute. What it costs The API is pay-as-you-go at $25 per 1,000 requests. One photo is one request, so 10,000 photos is $250. Keys and billing are on the API4AI developer portal, and the full reference is in the Image Anonymization docs. If you don't want to write code One or two photos: the Image Anonymization API page has a free demo. Upload a photo and see the result. A dealer's listing photos: if you want the background replaced as well — every car on the same white or brand-color backdrop — CarBG does the cut-out and the plate in one pass, 60 photos at a time or a .zip. The background is removed either way there, so it's the wrong tool if you need to keep the scene. There's a longer comparison of the three routes in How to Blur License Plates in Car Photos. What are you anonymizing, and how are you checking the results today — spot checks, a second model, or not at all?

ULSTER COUNTY – A 36-year-old Jamaica, Queens man was arrested Wednesday in connection with an investigation into fraudulent checks cashed at multiple Ulster Savings Bank branches, the State Police announced. Eric A. Balko was arrested on Sept. 23 by the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation at Highland and charged with third-degree grand larceny, a Class D felony; second-degree offering a false instrument for filing, a Class A misdemeanor; and second-degree possession of a forged instrument, a Class D felony. State police said the investigation began Aug. 23, 2024, after an Ulster Savings Bank employee reported that the same person had cashed multiple checks at different bank branches, resulting in a substantial financial loss. Balko is accused of cashing fraudulent checks for his own financial gain, police said. He was arrested and processed at State Police Highland without incident. He was arraigned in New Paltz Town Court on Sept. 23 and released on his own recognizance. Balko is due back in New Paltz Town Court on Oct. 21 at 5 p.m.

Meet Piccolo (formerly Mr. Pickles)! In his new foster home it has been discovered that Piccolo is deaf. He is looking for a loving forever home with someone who will become his new best friend and have room for 104 pounds of pure love and joy. From his rescue advocate: Piccolo means “small” in Italian, which is a little ironic for a big, goofy boy like this. But there’s nothing intimidating about him. Piccolo is about 16 months old — a curious, gentle soul who lives for affection. He already knows sit, down, and wait, but what really stands out is how mellow he is. He doesn’t pull on the leash, isn’t reactive, and gets along great with other dogs. His one weakness: when someone comes to say hi, he plops right down and waits for the pets he knows he deserves. He’s a laid-back, easygoing boy who prefers a relaxed stroll over a long trek, but he’ll happily tag along anywhere people are gathering. Whether you’re a single person, a couple, or a family with kids, if you love cafés, patios, and neighborhood hangouts, he’d be a great match. Piccolo was raised as a puppy by loving, committed foster families in Oakland, alongside kids and cats, in August 2025. In August 2026, he was found as a stray in Berkeley and spent over a month in a shelter before being placed with his current foster family, where he now lives with a kid and a resident dog. If you are interested in adopting Piccolo, the first step is to fill out and adoption application to be considered for his adoption by clicking here.

Let’s start with something we’re all guilty of. How much time do we spend on our phones before 9am? A quick look at the news, check the weather, WhatsApp messages, perhaps answer an email. Maybe we drift into a bit of Facebook or Insta. Suddenly we’re 30 minutes in and our brain has already been reset in a way that doesn’t feel great. We all do it. What if we gave those first minutes in the morning to ourselves instead? Not because scrolling is bad, but because we might feel better. We’re talking about 30 minutes of movement and 15 minutes of breathing. Then get on with the day. And it leads to a much bigger conversation about golf, ageing and what we mean by performance. Are we looking after the golfer, or just improving the golf? There is no shortage of advice telling golfers how to improve – swing, putting, distance. Strengthen your core, improve your flexibility, work on your mental game – confidence, mindset, awareness and enjoyment. All of that has value, and most of us have tried lots of things. But perhaps we’re missing something. Who is looking after the golfer? How we manage ourselves matters. If we’ve learned that the mind needs looking after, why do we tend to think about the body only when something starts to hurt? What does performance mean after 50? For a 25-year-old golfer, performance means getting stronger, faster and longer. My kids are made of elastic and talk to me about fast twitch and swing speed. For someone in their 50s, 60s or 70s, performance means something different. Not necessarily about getting better. More about staying the golfer you are. How about being able to walk 18 holes, manage recurring injuries, maintain your rotation, keep your balance, retain your flexibility and range of movement and recover properly? My dad played golf until he was 87. He wasn’t trying to be a better golfer or to break 100. Golf was part of his life. It gave him somewhere to go, people to see, a reason to get outside and something to look forward to. So perhaps the real performance question isn’t, ‘how much better can I get?’ It’s, ‘how can I keep playing the golf I love for as long as possible?’ The body still matters None of this means that physical performance is secondary – quite the opposite. I’ve experienced the difference first-hand. It helped that I married a yogi, but regular yoga practice has improved my mobility, flexibility and range of movement, and I believe it has improved my golf. There is plenty of evidence that yoga can improve physical and mental wellbeing and quality of life. And that yoga is excellent for the golf swing. But it only works when you practise. Regular practice rather than occasional punishment I’ve always found the no ‘pain, no gain’ argument odd. It just makes me not want to do it again. I remember a spin class that put me off cycling for a long time. I know I’m not alone. So, I’m a buyer of my wife, Nicky’s, version of yoga. Keep moving regularly and consistently. Gently enough that you want to come back. Although, to be fair, Nicky can turn the dial up at any time and properly challenge you. Most golfers understand the power of regular practice. You wouldn’t expect to hit 100 balls once a month and suddenly become a better golfer. Andy Candlish and his wife Nicky | Source: Supplied And then there’s the nervous system We spend a lot of time switched on – phones, emails, news, work, family, deadlines, notifications. There’s lots of evidence about breathing, the nervous system and helping us out of ‘fight or flight’. This is Nicky’s end game; this is what she really cares about. And this is where Dr Bob and yoga come together, Nicky was astonished how yogic his teaching is. One shot at time (one breath at a time), trusting your process over outcome (don’t get mad when you miss a shot), equanimity (don’t get yourself in a state and play one bad shot after another). Jayne Storey’s Breathe Golf, Zen Golf, ex-pro Andy Matthews – all the same stuff. Our nervous system responds to what life throws at us, and we don’t always give ourselves the opportunity to slow down. To move from doing to being. From tension to calm. To active rest. This is where the breathing is crucial. And nowhere more so that the golf course with a card in your hand. The first 30 minutes of Nicky’s classes are movement. Then 15 minutes of guided breathing. The breathing isn’t an afterthought. It’s the reset. That’s the end game. “I’m not a yoga person” There is a small elephant in the room. Yoga comes with some baggage – for men and women: I don’t know the positions or the language; I’m not flexible enough; I’ll look daft; It’s a bit ‘woo-woo’. The hardest part of starting something new is not knowing the form or feeling that you don’t belong. That’s the way Nicky feels about golf to be fair – she comes from a cricketing family. There is an embarrassment gap. I think Nicky’s key point of difference is her approach to yoga. It’s deliberately practical and accessible. You don’t need to know anything before you start, you don’t need to be flexible, and there is no chanting. You don’t need to wear yoga pants (although I do). You simply turn up and move. Because the classes are online, you can do it in your own space. No one is comparing you with the person next to you. No one is watching whether you can touch your toes. You work at your own level and your own pace. That’s her magic. Why are we always trying to do everything in 10 minutes? We’re constantly told that we can improve ourselves in 10 minutes – workouts, stretches, mindfulness. Nothing wrong with 10 minutes if that’s all you’ve got. But maybe weshould change the question. Not: “How can I squeeze in 10 minutes for some practice?” Maybe, as we get older, we should ask: “What is important enough to deserve my time?” We set aside four hours for golf; we spend time on the range. We make time for friends; we book holidays. We make time for the things we value. So why shouldn’t we make time for ourselves? That’s why Nicky’s classes are deliberately 45 minutes. They run at 8am on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, with chair yoga on a Monday at 6pm – it’s great and just as challenging. You don’t need to attend all of them. You don’t need to catch up if you miss one. There isn’t a prize. The point is simply to establish a regular practice. Thirty minutes to move,15 minutes to breathe. And then get on with your day. Dr Bob meets Joe Wicks – at 8am! It’s about how you feel afterwards. Calmer, more mobile, more present, perhaps a little clearer in the head, perhaps more ready for whatever the day brings. That’s the reset. So, what are we really trying to preserve? Perhaps the goal isn’t just a lower handicap or gain another 10 yards. Perhaps it’s something much simpler. Keep playing, keep walking, keep moving, keep meeting your friends, keep enjoying the game. Nicky tells me she doesn’t really care about my golf. As we get older, she cares that I can walk the dogs without pain, that I can put my seatbelt on without cricking my neck, that I can get up and down the stairs without putting my back out. That I can handle difficult moments in our lives without getting anxious and stressed. That’s why I don’t think this is really an article about yoga, it’s about being more deliberate about what we do, and deciding that looking after ourselves is important. Yoga is just the mechanism. This is all about longevity, looking after your body, calming your mind, learning to change your state. Regular practice rather than occasional punishment. And ultimately, givingyourself the best chance of continuing to do the things you love for longer. So tomorrow morning, before you pick up your phone, perhaps ask yourself a simple question: What would make me feel better at 8.45 than I did at 8am? Thirty minutes of movement. Fifteen minutes of breathing. Forty-five minutes you’ve deliberately given yourself. And then get on with your day.

NEW YORK- School districts across New York will have more time to recover the cost of clean-energy improvements under legislation recently signed by Governor Kathy Hochul. The new law extends the period school districts can use savings from lower utility bills to pay for clean-energy upgrades from the current 18 years to as many as 25 years. The change is intended to make projects such as installing solar panels on school buildings more financially feasible for districts. State Sen. Pete Harckham, who supported the legislation, said the measure will help districts move forward with renewable-energy projects while potentially saving taxpayers money over the long term. “It’s time to help school districts that are ready to commit to renewable energy projects like solar for their buildings, and that’s what this new law does,” Harckham said. “Along with assisting in the fight against climate change, these renewables will end up saving taxpayer dollars year after year.” Harckham credited student advocates who pushed for action on environmental issues. “But most of all, I am proud of the student advocates whose hard work and concern about their environment helped spur this initiative,” Harckham said. “Truly, this is a great example of young people driving change that will benefit us all.” Hochul signed the bill as one of three pieces of legislation focused on clean energy, climate education and research, and environmental protection.

Meet adoptable deaf 3 year old Moose who is looking for a loving forever home with someone who will cherish him, become his new best friend and always keep him safe. He would do well with a family with older kids (12+). From his current caregiver: We adopted Moose from our local animal control. We haven’t had experience with deaf dogs. I was really up for the challenge. Unfortunately, I am changing jobs and won’t be home as much as Moose needs me to be. He needs more time and attention than I can give to him. He just wants to be with his people or dog friends. He would thrive with someone who is retired or works from home. Moose is an approximately 6-years old, per animal control, however our vet says he’s most likely two to three yrs old. He is a very sweet and handsome 70 pound American Bully mix who is looking for a new best friend. He understands some hand signals and he is a fast learner. He lays down in his own little Moose style. He walks gracefully and he is great on a lease. Moose is house trained, he doesn’t get on furniture, and he is not a fan of a closed crate. Moose is sweet, affectionate, and absolutely loves his people. Moose doesn’t ask for much—just a person of his own and a comfortable place to relax to be near his people. Moose has done well with other dogs but we are unsure about how he would do with cats. He tends to act like an annoying younger brother around our other dogs. He has a moderate amount of energy. Moose will do well in a home with older children, as he is a “Moose” aka bulldozer when he gets excited. His adoption fee is $200 to a screened and approved family or person. You must also come to meet him in person in order to be considered for his adoption and you must live within a two hour drive of New Britain, CT. If you are interested in giving Moose a loving forever home, please email Jessy at: romancebyjessyn@gmail.com

Nearly 1,500 athletes of all levels and abilities competed in the Zuma Beach Triathlon Sept. 19-20. Racers swam off Zuma Beach, biked the Malibu coastline and ran to the cliffs of Point Dume.The field included first-time triathletes, veteran racers and adaptive athletes using racing chairs, hand cycles and running blades. Cheers, music and cowbells greeted finishers throughout the weekend."While we do create a stage for elite athleticism, what folks will remember about the day is watching athletes of all abilities, shapes, sizes and experience levels challenge themselves to overcome and achieve their goals," said Michael Epstein, the event's founder and executive director. "This event will always be a welcoming one, dedicated to cultivating a community of inclusion and giving."The Challenged Athletes Foundation Corporate Challenge, presented by Pepperdine University, raised more than $155,000. Epstein created the original triathlon corporate challenge in Malibu in 1997.
