Wild One: Keyo Roses Flying Circus - A Man
Whirling camerawork, throbbing lights, and questions about what it really means to be 'A Man' all await under the psychedelic big-top of this Wild One — the first ever video from Naarm act Keyo Roses Flying Circus. Directed by Hugo Morgan, 'A Man' combines distorted frames, fluid camera manoeuvres, and choppy cuts for a video that is truly trippy. Shot in the Northcote Theatre, Hugo, Keyo and the team wanted to create an uninterrupted performance that invites the viewer into the theatre as the only patron. "All the movement is continuous," explains Hugo, "but we also played with continuity and lighting to shape the environment and guide the audience through the different sections of the track.' 'This song is a conception of many hours spent smoking cigarettes in my room, unravelling the rope of masculinity to find balance and identity' says circus conductor Keyo Rhodes. 'I suppose it questions the idea of a man, the conflict between grace and strength, and if you dance around a bit things usually make more sense.'

Israel's secret intelligence operations in Iran: Hacked phones, deep-cover agents and covert warehouses
Last year, an Israeli telecoms executive working in Europe had a call from an old friend back in Tel Aviv: could he help design a phone that looked like a cheap Android but could transmit encrypted data that mimicked social media traffic? Around the same time, a reservist working at an Israeli health start-up got a call from Unit 9900, a tiny part of the Israeli military that seeks clues in vast data sets. Could he tweak an algorithm he had worked on during his military service, so a dedicated server could sift through satellite images of fuel trucks and separate those carrying petrol from those with missile propellant? Neither was told exactly how their efforts shaped last week's opening salvo in Israel's aerial assault on Iran , which stunned the country with both its depth and precision. More than a dozen security chiefs and nuclear scientists were assassinated nearly simultaneously; entire aerial defence arrays were destroyed before they could fire off a single interception; and a large number of missile launch sites were identified and destroyed. How Israel's security services pulled off parallel operations combining the work of its military intelligence arm Aman, with the foreign spy service Mossad into such an effective assault may never fully become public. But early hints are trickling out – some from authorised leaks aiming to embarrass Iran, others from people familiar with the operations speaking to the Financial Times on the condition of anonymity. READ MORE They describe a sprawling, multiyear operation that leant on every possible asset from which Israeli intelligence could draw – commercial satellites, hacked phones, deep-cover agents recruited locally, covert warehouses to assemble drones and even miniaturised weapons systems fitted into everyday vehicles. The goal, the people said, was to create a densely populated bank of targets to take out in the first hours of a military operation. One called it the Israeli version of 'shock and awe'; another said it aimed to embrace the 'audacious'. A former Israeli official described the project as the result of 'millions of dollars and years of efforts' to address what Israel considers an existential threat. 'When you work for so many years, investing everything you have – human intelligence, open source intelligence, money – you eventually get an outcome' like this, they said. In the run-up to the assault, Aman identified so-called centres of gravity to focus on, such as firepower hubs and the nuclear programme. It cross-referenced thousands of intelligence sources, and by March of this year, had started to populate the target bank. In a clue as to how these targets may have been tracked, a technical team in the military was consulted last October about how it had monitored Hassan Nasrallah , leader of the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hizbullah , who Israel had killed days earlier. Their sophisticated, nearly automated system had produced with near certainty his location once every 24 hours. An Israeli air strike on Tehran, Iran.

Photograph: Arash Khamooshi/ New York Times Israel's assault on Iran has yet to achieve its grand strategic goal – the destruction of the Islamic republic's nuclear and ballistic missile programmes – or its additional aim of weakening the regime to the point of collapse. But its first hours last week underlined the ambitious and comprehensive list of targets that Israeli intelligence operatives keep constantly updated. The opening shots of the campaign focused on at least four types of targets within a few minutes: military officials high in the chain of command; aerial defences around the most strategic sites; parts of two major nuclear installations; and missile launch sites in western Iran that had been identified as immediate response threats. In this way, Israel could take advantage of the surprise factor. 'The initial attack, the opening strike, was the beginning of the campaign. We're not done yet,' said Miri Eisin, a former senior intelligence officer. 'To be able to target 15 different people at the same time – now that's not easy – and since you've taken out the decision makers, you're delaying their response to buy more time.' The Israeli success has sowed at least some panic within Iran's security establishment, which has been repeatedly embarrassed in the past by Mossad. The spy agency's headquarters on the northern outskirts of Tel Aviv has been a repeated target of Iranian ballistic missiles. A former senior commander in Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards this week urged people to check their roofs for micro drones, claiming Iranian opposition groups had been paid to smuggle them into major cities. Police chief Ahmad-Reza Radan urged spies for Israel to turn themselves in to receive 'Islamic clemency'. [ Without an exit strategy, Israel risks bringing destruction to its doorstep in a war of attrition against Iran Opens in new window ] Fars News Agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, reported warnings that mobile phones were being used not just for surveillance but also for assassination. 'The most important decision must be this: all mobile phones belonging to commanders, senior officials, nuclear scientists – and even their families – should be put aside,' said hardline MP Hamid Rasaee.

Photograph: Arash Khamooshi/New York Times But such measures would be unlikely to make a difference at this point, said people familiar with Israel's operations inside Iran. The telecoms executive declined to discuss whether his software was eventually deployed in Iran, but bragged that many hundreds of people were often using it simultaneously around the world. Israel is now hunting the remnants of Iran's aerial defences and has nearly complete aerial superiority. It lost what appeared to be a Hermes 900 surveillance drone to an Iranian missile but has had no other publicly acknowledged losses of military hardware. Its air force has been left free to attack anywhere in Iran at will. Iranian intelligence operations inside Israel pale in comparison. A handful of Israeli citizens have been arrested and prosecuted for collecting information for Iran, while Iranian hackers appear to have broken into the mobile phone of a family member of David Barnea, the Mossad chief, in recent years, with Iran publicly taking credit for the breach. Its counter-intelligence teams have arrested several people and accused them of working for Israel, and recently executed one. But not a single Israeli is known to have been captured, hinting at a large-scale recruitment of local operatives – either unwittingly or for cash – or people opposed to the regime in Tehran. In comparison, Mossad has repeatedly carried out daring assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists, including one in 2020 apparently carried out by a remotely operated machine gun mounted on a truck that self-destructed. Iranian media reported that thousands had fled Tehran as Iran and Israel launched new waves of missile strikes at each other. Video: Reuters It has spirited away thousands of documents from Iran's nuclear archive for prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu to show off on live television and assassinated a senior Hamas leader in an Iranian government guest house last year as he visited for president Masoud Pezeshkian's inauguration. Adding to its mystique, for the first time in its history, Mossad released footage it said showed its commandos working inside Iran, launching attack drones and guided missiles that took out Iranian air defences and missiles. 'From an intelligence perspective, [the entire campaign] is as impressive a feat as we've seen in modern warfare – complete intelligence domination and penetration, on an unprecedented scale in recent memory,' said a former US defence official. 'I can't think of a conflict where one party so thoroughly understood the contingency plans of its enemy and the movement of its leadership.' Israel's success against Hizbullah, in a similar surprise campaign last year, and now in the early days of full-scale conflict with Iran, contrasts with its failure to predict or prevent the October 7th, 2023, cross-border attack by Hamas, the Palestinian militant group it had clearly underestimated. [ Iran enters near total internet blackout as Trump remains cryptic over potential US strikes Opens in new window ] Its latest achievements showed the capabilities of Israeli intelligence and military units when they were directed and well-resourced, said Eisin. 'The Islamic regime of Iran has been the top priority of Netanyahu and the entire security community. You are investing your capabilities of your entire security and intelligence community in finding out this information and then acting upon it.' But, she added: 'That makes me worry about the hubris that comes with this kind of success.' – Copyright the Financial Times Limited 2025 'A war that's been planned for a decade' - why Israel has attacked Iran and what happens next Listen | 21:11

Is ‘For All Mankind' returning for season 5? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 19, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated June 19, 2025, 11:51 IST For All Mankind , the critically acclaimed Apple TV+ sci-fi drama, has captivated audiences with its alternate history of the space race, where the Soviet Union landed on the Moon first, sparking a never-ending competition in space exploration. With Season 4 concluding in January 2024, fans are eagerly awaiting updates on Season 5. Is For All Mankind Season 5 happening? Here's everything we know so far. For All Mankind Season 5: Confirmed and In Production Yes, For All Mankind Season 5 is officially happening! Apple TV+ announced the renewal in April 2024, alongside a new spinoff series titled Star City , which will focus on the Soviet space program from behind the Iron Curtain. Filming for Season 5 began in July 2024, with reports indicating that production wrapped by mid-December 2024. Release Date Speculation: When Will Season 5 Premiere? While Apple TV+ has not announced an official release date for For All Mankind Season 5, we can estimate based on the show's production history. Historically, the series has followed a 15–18-month gap between seasons. Given that filming for Season 5 began in July 2024 and reportedly wrapped by late 2024, a late 2025 release—potentially November or December—is likely. However, some sources speculate a mid-2025 release (July or August) if post-production is expedited. A May 2025 premiere seems optimistic but less probable due to the show's heavy reliance on CGI and post-production work. On the other hand, a recent Apple TV+ sizzle reel omitted For All Mankind Season 5, leading some to speculate a potential delay to 2026.

Aman Gupta reveals many new sharks joined Shark Tank India to whitewash their image after seeing Anupam and him become heroes; says ' they kept chasing the makers...'
Aman Gupta , an entrepreneur and Shark Tank India judge, is not impressed with the new sharks who have joined the most recent seasons of the iconic business reality TV show. He asserted that, while the judges who have been on the show since season one have no hidden motivations, many businesspeople are now using the show to launder their reputations. During Prakhar's podcast, Aman shared how those entrepreneurs who earlier rejected the show joined him in later seasons, seeing Anupam and him turn heroes. He said, "I like those whose companies are performing well. They're original and aren't in the show to fix their character. My character has been clean right from the start. I don't want to take names, otherwise it'd lead to controversy. Some people had initially rejected Shark Tank, but once they saw Anupam (Mittal) and me become heroes, they had FOMO. So they kept chasing the makers, asking them to make them sharks. And now, they're sharks." Aman further added, "Aman Gupta's character may have changed from season one to season four, yet he remains consistent. We avoid engaging in any pointless activities. Whether you love or hate us, this is who we are. Namita (Thapar) has always been honest about her areas of expertise. I had a way of life; I would do it, and I am not terrified. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo That's why I occasionally dislike these new sharks; otherwise, it's okay." Aman then detailed how many of them begin to have a God complex, which leads to their downfall. He quipped, "A lot of people get a god complex once they start doing well, the media starts writing about them, and the family starts congratulating you via messages. That's where the downfall of everybody starts. We need to understand that. My mom says, 'Even Ravana couldn't keep his pride.' I also believe that. You don't need to have an ego that you can't do no wrong. There's always someone out there doing better than you. You can't think you're the best. You should be able to accept you suck."
