Turkish Presidential Candidate Quits Race After Release of Alleged Deepfake
The former school headteacher and longtime member of the Republican People’s party (CHP) said an alleged sex tape circulating online was a deepfake, using footage taken from “an Israeli porn site.” He added: “If I had such images of myself, they were taken secretly in the past. But I do not have such an image, no such sound recording. This is not my private life, it’s slander. It’s not real.”
The high-profile deployment of deepfake videos has already hit Turkey’s 45-day election cycle, after Erdogan played an alleged deepfake that claimed to show banned Kurdish militants declaring their support for Kilicdaroglu at a pre-election rally last weekend. “What I have seen in these last 45 days, I have not seen in 45 years,” said Ince.

Studio adds audio cues to Forza Motorsport that help blind players race like pros
Forza Motorspot Will Let Blind Players Race With Revolutionary Audio Features
Forza Motorsport has a variety of audio features designed to enable blind players to race. Developer Turn 10 Studios worked extensively with playtesters to create what Xbox claims is the developer’s “most accessible game ever.”
When turned on, the features provide audio cues to let players know what is occurring. For example, the car and engine sounds will pan from left to right based on which direction the player needs to turn. A series of beeps will inform players if they are approaching the edge of the racetrack. Other audio cues include when to shift (if playing with manual transmission), pole position and direction on the track, more detailed turn information, and much more.
In setup, players can listen to sounds and toggle options to figure out what set of audio features works best for them. They can also customize screen narration, with volume, pitch, and speed options. The amount the screen narrator talks, and what it reads on the screen, can also be customized to prevent information overload.

The revelation will put further pressure on Sir Keir Starmer to prevent the veteran MP from standing again as a candidate for the party at the next election.
She had claimed that Jewish people are subject to prejudice similar to that received by redheads in an explosive anti-Semetic letter
Abbott apologised for her remarks saying she completely disassociated herself from the comments that were published on Sunday.
Sir Keir said he “utterly condemned” the remarks and were anti-Semitic in his view.
She has requested a meeting with Rabbi Herschel Gluck in her east London constituency later this week to heal the rift.
