Times Of Israel: Israel delays release of Palestinian security prisoners after Gaza hostages freed
Israel has delayed the release of 602 Palestinian prisoners, initially part of a hostage-prisoner exchange, pending security consultations by Prime Minister Netanyahu. The decision follows the return of six Israeli hostages by Hamas and comes amid tensions over the fate of Shiri Bibas and her sons.
Hamas criticized Israel's delay, urging mediators to enforce the ceasefire agreement. Among those set for release are prisoners with life sentences for attacks against Israelis, with many facing deportation. Notable figures include Nael Barghouti, the longest-serving Palestinian inmate, and other individuals linked to significant terror activities.

GB News: Cardiff residents BACK 'Orwellian' facial recognition cameras to fight crime - 'I'm all for it!'
Cardiff residents largely support the deployment of additional facial recognition cameras during the Six Nations rugby championship to enhance safety. South Wales Police plan to install five temporary cameras in designated "Zones of Safety" to scan faces against a watchlist.
Critics, including advocacy groups, argue this represents an alarming expansion of surveillance, potentially leading to permanent facial recognition systems across the UK. They highlight the lack of arrests linked to the technology and call for an end to its use, labeling it a violation of privacy rights.

GB News: Archaeology breakthrough as experts hail find of 2,000-year-old decapitated remains in bog
Ancient human remains found in a Co Derry bog have been identified as those of a young woman from the Iron Age, aged 17 to 22, rather than a teenage boy as initially thought. The remains, dated between 343 BCE and 1 BCE, show signs of violent death, including decapitation, suggesting ritualistic practices of the time.
This discovery, termed the Ballymacombs More Woman, is significant as most bog-preserved bodies from this era are male. Archaeologists also found a woven item near the remains, which may provide further insights into Iron Age customs and culture.
