Souths' Arrow can only laugh as yet another injured
Jai Arrow can only laugh at how bad South Sydney's injury crisis has become as halfback Jamie Humphreys becomes the latest Rabbitoh sidelined. A head knock has ruled Humphreys out of Saturday's clash against Cronulla, so English recruit Lewis Dodd looks set for a second start at halfback in a season spent out of Wayne Bennett's favour. Humphreys joins Latrell Mitchell, Keaon Koloamatangi, Cam Murray, Pete Mamouzelos, Jayden Sullivan, Cody Walker and Campbell Graham among others in a packed casualty ward at 15th-placed Souths. "This morning, I went in and saw the physio and the rehab crew, there's a pretty solid 1-13 (team) there," Arrow said at the media launch for Saturday's Beer Footy Food Festival at Henson Park. The ankle injury Koloamatangi suffered against Penrith will mean Arrow finishes the Sharks clash as one of only two Rabbitohs to have played every game this year - along with Tallis Duncan. For comparison, Cronulla have had seven players feature in every game so far. Arrow could only laugh when he heard the club had been struck by even more misfortune out of last week's loss to the Panthers, which effectively ended the club's finals hopes. "I just started giggling to myself, to be honest," Arrow said. "It's pretty crazy and pretty laughable with the amount of people we have missing at the moment. "But it is what it is, all you've got to do is keep turning up and enjoying each other's company and turn up for each other on the field. That's all we can do, really." Arrow says there's been no secret sauce for staying fit; if anything, he's the type to take a less-is-more approach to his preparation. "My prep is sitting down, having a coffee with my boys and having a good yarn," he said. "I'm just glad, touchwood, that I haven't had any niggles." The last time the Rabbitohs met the Sharks, they were in the midst of a promising start to the season, with the 27-12 loss in round three their only defeat across the first five rounds. Arrow has resisted temptation to ponder what might have been this year for Souths, who are now fighting to avoid a first wooden spoon since 2006. "It's funny, I think back, we were 4-1 at one stage,' he said. "But I'm not one to dwell on the past. It is what it is. The most important thing is that we've got to have faith in each other and just enjoy this next six weeks of playing footy together." Arrow expected Murray would soon make his return from the achilles injury he suffered in the pre-season, with the NSW representative easing back into field work at training. Pundits have questioned why the club would risk bring Murray back from such a delicate injury so late in a campaign destined to finish without finals, but Arrow held no concerns for his captain. "Someone like Cam, he won't play unless he's ready," Arrow said. "I'm sure he'll make the right decision whether he comes back and plays or not but I'm pretty confident we'll be seeing him back in weeks to come in a Rabbitohs jersey."

Bad news for Iran as Israel develops new defence system that is capable of 'shoot-look-shoot' technology, can detect and stop very fast..., name is...
Bad news for Iran as Israel develops new defence system that is capable of 'shoot-look-shoot' technology, can detect and stop very fast..., name is... Israel has made its air defense system even stronger with the development of the new Arrow-4 missile defense system. Boaz Levy, the head of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), confirmed that this advanced system will soon become a key part of the country's national defense. Arrow-4 is an upgraded version of the earlier Arrow-3 system and it is designed to accurately shoot down enemy ballistic missiles, especially those launched from short distances. One of the most important features of Arrow-4 is its 'shoot-look-shoot' technology which means that if the missile is not able to destroy the target on the first attempt, the system quickly checks and makes another precise strike. This new defense system uses advanced warhead technology and a highly sensitive seeker system. Because of this, it can detect and stop very fast, modern ballistic missiles, including those that travel at hypersonic speeds. Recently, when Iran fired advanced ballistic missiles at Israel, the country managed to stop about 85 per cent of them in the air. However, around 50 missiles still hit Israeli land, causing major damage. The goal of launching the Arrow-4 is to fix this gap in defense, so that in the future, not even a single enemy missile is able to reach the ground. Israel speeds up work on Arrow-4, plans for even more powerful Arrow-5 According to Israel Aerospace Industries, it may take up to two years for the new Arrow-4 missile defense system to be fully added into Israel's defense system. However, the Israeli government has already ordered that the process be fast-tracked. At the same time, work is already underway on an even more advanced system called Arrow-5. This future system is expected to replace Arrow-3 in the coming years and make Israel's defense capabilities even more powerful and unbeatable. The Arrow defense series is already known around the world as the first fully working anti-ballistic missile system. It includes Arrow-2 and Arrow-3, which are designed to destroy incoming missiles traveling at speeds of up to 3 kilometers per second, right in mid-air. The Arrow-4 project officially began in 2021 when the United States and Israel announced a joint effort to build the system. For Israel, Arrow-4 is more than just a missile interceptor, it will act as a powerful shield, especially at a time when tensions are high across the Middle East.

Kim Tate's masterplan that would change Emmerdale forever
Kim Tate has a bold new plan (Picture: ITV) Kim Tate (Claire King) finally revealed her grand plan to Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) in tonight's Emmerdale. Kim has mentioned her project a couple of times recently, but the exact details of it were kept under wraps. We know that she's currently working with Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley), who bought Annie's land back from Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb). However, in this evening's episode, Kim confirmed she has no long-term intention of collaborating with the Sugdens. After yesterday's events with Doctor Eddie Crowley (James Hillier), Joe told Kim that he'd work hard to regain her trust. In the kitchen, Joe happily listened to Kim speak about her new project, and made sure she knew that he'd be happy to help with it. Joe betrayed Kim this week (Picture: ITV) On the table was a map of the village and surrounding fields. Kim confirmed to Joe that her plan is to buy all of the land that sits around Home Farm, in order to have the largest farm in North Yorkshire. She knew it would be an expensive project, but Kim then revealed that she's been told the land could be used commercially soon, rather than agriculturally. It means that if Kim owns the fields and the use for them does change, she can capitalise on it.

Israel to raise defence spending to meet security challenges
JERUSALEM, July 17 (Reuters) - Israel will raise defence spending by 42 billion shekels ($12.5 billion) in 2025 and 2026, the finance and defence ministries said on Thursday, citing the country's security challenges. The budget agreement will allow the Defence Ministry to "advance urgent and essential procurement deals critical to national security," the ministries said in a statement. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the new defence budget "fully covers the intense fighting in Gaza, alongside comprehensive security preparations for all threats — from the south, the north, and more distant arenas." Israel's military costs have surged since it launched its military offensive on Gaza following the deadly attacks by Hamas militants on Israel on October 7, 2023. Since then, Israel has also fought Hezbollah in Lebanon and waged a 12-day air war with Iran, and carried out airstrikes in Syria this week after vowing to destroy government forces attacking Druze in southern Syria and demanding they withdraw. Over the past 21 months, Israel's missile defence systems have been working almost daily to intercept missiles fired by Hezbollah, Iran and Houthis in Yemen. Current annual defence spending is 110 billion shekels - about 9% of gross domestic product - out of a total 2025 budget of 756 billion shekels. The extra budgetary funding "will allow the Defence Ministry to immediately sign procurement deals for the weapons and ammunition required to replenish depleted stocks and support the IDF's ongoing operations," said Amir Baram, director general of the Defence Ministry. It would also enable the defence establishment to initiate development programs to strengthen the Israel Defence Forces' qualitative edge for future systems, he said. Defence Minister Israel Katz said the funds would allow Israel to prepare for multiple scenarios since "enemies are openly declaring their intent to destroy this we require complete military, technological and operational superiority." Separately, the Defence Ministry said it had signed a deal with state-run Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) ( to accelerate serial production of Arrow interceptors. The Arrow, developed and manufactured in cooperation with the U.S. Missile Defense Agency, is a missile defence system designed to intercept and destroy ballistic missiles. The Arrow had a high interception rate during the conflicts with Hamas and Iran. As part of the deal, IAI will supply the military with a significant additional amount of Arrow interceptors. "The numerous interceptions it carried out saved many lives and significantly reduced economic damage," Baram said. On Wednesday, the ministry signed a $20 million deal with Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) to supply advanced machine guns aimed at significantly enhancing the IDF ground forces' firepower capabilities.
