YouTube Video, Dark Web Clue, War Crimes, Racism: Headlines Collide

UEFA is investigating alleged racist abuse directed at Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior during a Champions League match against Benfica, while the Victoria & Albert Museum (VA) is showcasing the first YouTube video and watchpage, according to reports. The match in Lisbon, Portugal, was halted after allegations of a racist slur were made against the Real Madrid forward, while the VA is displaying a reconstruction of the original YouTube watchpage from December 2006.

The Champions League match was halted five minutes into the second half after Vinicius gave the away side a 1-0 lead in the first leg of the knockout playoffs, according to Sky News. Cameras reportedly captured the 25-year-old telling French referee Francois Letexier he had been targeted by Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni. UEFA has appointed an ethics and disciplinary inspector to investigate the incident.

Meanwhile, the VA is allowing visitors to "step back in time" with a reconstruction of the original YouTube watchpage, according to BBC Technology. The museum worked with YouTube to rebuild the design and experience of the platform, using internet archives from December 2006. The museum has also acquired the first video ever uploaded to the site, "Me at the Zoo," posted by YouTube's co-founder Jawed Karim in April 2005. YouTube's chief executive Neal Mohan stated, "By reconstructing the original 2005 watchpage, we aren't just showing a video; we are inviting the public to step back in time to the beginning of a g."

In other news, an Indian university faced backlash after a professor falsely presented a Chinese-made robot dog as its own at an artificial intelligence summit, reported Al Jazeera. The university was reportedly asked to leave the summit. Additionally, a war crimes complaint was filed in Chile against an Israeli sniper, also according to Al Jazeera. The Hind Rajab Foundation filed the complaint seeking prosecution.

In a separate incident, a dark web investigator used clues from a bedroom wall to rescue an abused girl, according to BBC Technology. Specialist online investigator Greg Squire had been working to rescue the girl, whose disturbing images were being shared on the dark web. Squire discovered the clue to the 12-year-old's location.
