The United States is deploying a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East amid growing tensions with Iran, while Kazakhstan prepares for a referendum on a new constitution set for March 15th. Meanwhile, Meta is reportedly considering adding facial recognition to its smart glasses, and Ilia Malinin led the US figure skating squad to gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics. China also made strides in reusable launch technology, according to reports.
The US move to send the USS Gerald R Ford to the Middle East, joining the USS Abraham Lincoln already in the region, signals Washington's intention to keep military options open regarding Iran's nuclear program, according to a Euronews report. The deployment, as stated by an official, aims to pressure Iran into negotiations.
In Kazakhstan, the upcoming referendum on March 15th will allow citizens to vote on a new constitution. The draft constitution, signed into decree by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, will redistribute powers, strengthen checks and balances, and increase effectiveness, Euronews reported.
Meta is reportedly planning to introduce facial recognition to its smart glasses, potentially during a period when privacy advocates are less focused on the issue, according to an internal memo reviewed by The New York Times, as reported by The Verge.
At the 2026 Winter Olympics, Ilia Malinin led the US figure skating squad to a gold medal in the team event. His performance was notable, including a backflip in his short program, Wired reported. Malinin, known as the "Quad God," is celebrated for his ability to perform multiple quadruple jumps.
In the realm of space exploration, China successfully launched a subscale version of the Long March 10 rocket, which then executed a perfect ocean landing, Ars Technica reported. This marks a significant step in China's development of reusable launch technology, as it rapidly catches up to the United States.
