The airline also said that the protection given to the Portuguese crew: surgical masks and gloves, was sufficient – and that “all security measures were complied with”.

Giving the crew only surgical masks for protection is criminally negligent.

Who suffers when education aid falls?  - World Education Blog
Last year, the GEM Report warned that, by 2027, aid to education could fall by around a quarter from its peak in 2023. This was a projection based on donor announcements at the time. One year later, new evidence from donors shows that the drop is likely to be even sharper at 30%.

DiffVQE: Hybrid Diffusion Voice Quality Enhancement Under Acoustic Echo and Noise
Haljan Lugo Girao, Ernst Seidel, Pejman Mowlaee, Ziyue Zhao, Tim Fingscheidt
arxiv.org/abs/2605.08189 arxiv.org/pdf/2605.08189 arxiv.org/html/2605.08189
arXiv:2605.08189v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Acoustic echo and background noise pose challenges on speech enhancement in hands-free systems and speakerphones. Discriminatively trained end-to-end methods represent a powerful solution for joint acoustic echo control (AEC) and denoising. However, with the advent of generative methods, diffusion-based approaches have seen remarkable performance in speech enhancement tasks. In this work, to the best of our knowledge, we provide the first (still non-causal) diffusion-based AEC model (DiffVQE) that is reproducible in terms of topology, training data, and training framework. So far, without employing diffusion, Microsoft's discriminative DeepVQE model has been shown to excel any of the ICASSP 2023 AEC Challenge entries achieving remarkable performance. Using data from the Interspeech 2025 URGENT Challenge for a diverse, high-quality training dataset, our DiffVQE excels DeepVQE both in echo and noise control performance, as well as in computational complexity and model size.
