Family of Shah Bano SLAMS Haq makers for ‘distorting facts’, alleges invasion of privacy: “If the film is based only on the case, then…”

Jubair Ahmad Khan, grandson of Shah Bano Begum, has voiced strong objections to the upcoming film *Haq*, which is based on the landmark 1985 Supreme Court case *Mohd Ahmed Khan vs Shah Bano Begum*. Speaking to ANI, Jubair alleged that the film was made without the consent of Shah Bano’s family and that the teaser “distorts” several facts, infringing on the family’s right to privacy.

The family of Shah Bano slammed the makers of *Haq* for “distorting facts” and alleged invasion of privacy, stating, “If the film is based only on the case, then…”

Shah Bano, whose legal battle brought significant changes to maintenance laws for divorced Muslim women, remains a deeply personal figure for the family. Jubair criticized the filmmakers for allegedly commercializing the family’s private struggles without seeking permission.

“Anything that happens affects us as a family. They didn’t ask us anything,” he said. He also pointed out discrepancies in the teaser, adding, “A lot of facts in the teaser are distorted. It is our private matter that has been given a commercial angle. Common people watching the movie will think it shows true events, but it does not.”

Responding to the legal petition filed by his mother, Siddiqua Begum Khan, which seeks a stay on the release of *Haq*, the producer’s lawyer Ajay Bagadiya stated that the film contains a disclaimer clarifying it is inspired by the Supreme Court judgment and a book titled *Bano, Bharat ki Beti*. Bagadiya emphasized that it is a fictionalized portrayal and is not obliged to present events factually.

He also questioned the legitimacy of the petitioner’s claim of being Shah Bano’s daughter, stating that there is no confirmation. Jubair contested this defense, highlighting that the teaser conflicts with the stated basis of the film.

He noted that while the book focuses on the Supreme Court case, the film includes broader aspects of Shah Bano’s life not covered by the case law. “If the film is based only on the case, then it should show the court proceedings. But in the teaser and trailer, you can see it is completely different from the true event,” he explained.

The family’s legal notice previously urged the filmmakers to halt all publication, screening, promotion, and release activities for *Haq*, accusing them of unauthorized use of personal life details.

*Haq*, set to release on November 7, 2025, stars Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam and is directed by Suparn S. Verma under Junglee Pictures.

**Ryan Donovan:** Hello, and welcome to the Stack Overflow Podcast, a place to talk all things software and technology. I’m your host, Ryan Donovan, and today we’re delving into some of the security breaches triggered by AI-generated code. While there’s been a lot of noise around this topic, my guest today argues that the problem isn’t the AI itself, but rather a lack of proper tooling when shipping that code.

My guest is Greg Foster, CTO and co-founder at Graphite. Welcome to the show, Greg.

**Greg Foster:** Thanks for having me, Ryan. Excited to talk about this.

**Ryan Donovan:** Before we dive deep, tell us a bit about your background. How did you get into software and technology?

**Greg Foster:** Happy to share! I’ve been coding for over half my life now. It all started in high school—I was 15 and needed a job, and I figured I could either bag groceries or code iOS apps, so I picked the latter. I went on to college, did internships at Airbnb, working on infrastructure and dev tools teams, helping build their release management software. Interestingly, I was hired as an iOS engineer but immediately shifted to dev tools, which I loved. For the last five years, I’ve been in New York working with friends to create Graphite, continuing my passion for dev tools.

**Ryan Donovan:** Everybody’s talking about AI-powered code generation now—some people doing “vibe coding” where they don’t even touch the code themselves and just say, “build me an app.” Then we see the ensuing security laughs on Twitter. You’re saying the AI isn’t purely the problem?

**Greg Foster:** It’s nuanced. Fundamentally, there’s a shifting landscape of trust and volume. Normally, when you do code reviews, you trust your teammates to some degree. You carefully vet code for bugs and architecture, but you don’t scrutinize every line on security—assuming teammates aren’t malicious. AI changes this because a computer writing code holds no accountability, and you might be the first person ever to lay eyes on it. Moreover, the volume of code changes is skyrocketing. Developers, including juniors, push many small PRs rapidly, which overloads the review process. This creates a bottleneck and trust deficit.

**Ryan Donovan:** Interesting. Our survey from a few months ago found people use AI more but trust it less, which seems natural since AI generates code based on statistical models of previous code.

**Greg Foster:** Yes, and AI can be quite gullible. Take recent hacks like the Amazon NX hack—prompts told the AI to scour user file systems deeply to find secrets. A human engineer would never do that blindly, but AI systems might follow those instructions unquestioningly. It’s a real challenge.

**Ryan Donovan:** So it’s really a lack of real-world context that AI code generators have. The speed and volume of PRs make human review difficult. Naturally, that calls for tooling solutions.

**Greg Foster:** Exactly. Graphite is all about tooling that helps make code review better. One timeless best practice remains: keep code changes small. Research from Google showed that longer pull requests get disproportionately fewer review comments—in fact, engagement drops steeply beyond about 100 lines of code.

We’ve seen the same data at Graphite. People tend to skim or blindly approve massive PRs, so small, manageable PRs—around 100-500 lines—hit a sweet spot for deep review.

But this requires tooling to manage stacked, incremental commits so developers can maintain flow without submitting giant PRs.

**Ryan Donovan:** That’s a key point. Many AI-generated chunks of code are enormous, unrefined, and not necessarily human-friendly. How do you see developers breaking that down and improving readability?

**Greg Foster:** Another concern is losing context. When you write code yourself over hours, you internalize the intricacies of that module or system. With AI-generated code, you often don’t fully absorb or understand the details. This means reviewers must pay extra-close attention.

Overall, fast, blind shipping of code reduces deep understanding and increases risk, especially for security.

**Ryan Donovan:** Copy-pasting from Stack Overflow has long been a source of vulnerabilities. AI seems to intensify that issue.

**Greg Foster:** Exactly. We used to shame copy-pasting, but now AI-generated snippets can propagate security flaws just as easily. Though these AI systems are generally well-intentioned, they create false confidence and lower the bar for attackers who now can craft malicious code with minimal skill.

**Ryan Donovan:** How do you guard not just the code, but the prompts themselves? Can prompts be sanitized or secured?

**Greg Foster:** It’s tough—probably impossible to secure prompts completely. You could try meta-prompting where one AI judges the security of another’s prompt output, but this is a cat-and-mouse game.

In some cases, suspicious prompts could trigger extra user verification steps, like password confirmation or biometric checks.

Also, if prompts come from untrusted users, they should be sandboxed or highly restricted, similar to executing untrusted code.

**Ryan Donovan:** Browsers already sandbox JavaScript and WebAssembly to prevent dangerous abuse.

**Greg Foster:** Indeed. Some AI-powered browsers or extensions have been exploited by injecting invisible prompts to perform malicious actions. This gullibility is something we should expect and prepare for.

At the end of the day, best practices—like minimizing exposure of secrets and being cautious about input—are more important than ever.

**Ryan Donovan:** You mentioned using LLMs themselves as judges for security scanning. How do you ensure those AI judges are trustworthy?

**Greg Foster:** Good question—“Who watches the watchman?”

Major LLMs today are reasonably reliable if well-prompted. If compromised at root, that’s a whole different challenge.

But in day-to-day use, you can trust security tools running LLMs to find real issues. You can measure their effectiveness through true positive and false positive rates. LLMs are actually pretty good at detecting security vulnerabilities in code, sometimes surpassing humans, who grow distracted or fatigued.

**Ryan Donovan:** Is there still a role for traditional static analysis and linting alongside LLM-based tools?

**Greg Foster:** Absolutely. Great security practice is layered. Keep your unit tests, linters, human code review, and add LLM scanning as a powerful augmentation layer.

Think of LLM-based scanners as “super linters” that run quickly and flexibly across many languages without much setup.

But don’t replace deterministic tests and human judgment—they catch problems LLMs can’t.

**Ryan Donovan:** That sounds like a healthy, balanced approach.

**Greg Foster:** For sure. The combination is greater than its parts. For example, LLMs can even help generate missing unit tests, reducing the barrier for engineers to write more tests.

**Ryan Donovan:** Do you worry developers will start outsourcing their security expertise entirely to AI?

**Greg Foster:** Not really. Much of security engineering involves manual processes, audits, policies, and incident response that AI can only assist, not replace.

For example, at Graphite, our security team implements network proxies, audit logging, and SOC2 compliance—all human-driven.

AI can help surface information faster during incidents, or assist with paperwork, but it won’t replace deep human expertise anytime soon.

**Ryan Donovan:** Every new abstraction layer in software adds complexity that engineers need to manage. AI seems to be another one in that lineage.

**Greg Foster:** Exactly. Engineering isn’t about typing lots of code; it’s about problem-solving, decision-making, and communication. AI just changes the tools we use.

Just like 3D printing shifted manufacturing but didn’t replace craftsmen, AI will change software engineering but not eliminate great engineers.

**Ryan Donovan:** We’re entering a new era of productivity and tooling with AI. How do you see AI tooling evolving?

**Greg Foster:** I see three main areas:

1. **Code Generation:** From simple tab completion to complex agent-driven creation that can even submit PRs directly.

2. **Code Review:** LLMs scanning diffs to find bugs, architectural issues, or security risks.

3. **Background Agents:** Autonomous tools that trigger off existing PRs to enhance them—splitting PRs, adding tests, or suggesting improvements proactively.

On the other hand, core infrastructure like CI, builds, and deployments remain largely unchanged.

This evolution highlights the importance of fundamentals—clean, small, incremental code changes, robust testing, rollbacks, and feature flags. Senior engineers who combine these classic best practices with AI tooling get the most value.

**Ryan Donovan:** Wise words. Thanks so much, Greg, for sharing your insights.

Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Ten Pound Poms’ On BritBox, About Brits Who Struggle To Start A New Life In 1950s Australia

Posted on by
Reply

**Ten Pound Poms: Stream It or Skip It?**

After World War II, the governments of both Australia and New Zealand sponsored programs that allowed residents of England to migrate to their countries for a mere £10. In the 2023 drama *Ten Pound Poms*, which aired in the UK and Australia, we follow several people who took advantage of that program and explore the ups and downs of building a new life in the Southern Hemisphere.

—

### Opening Shot

On a snowy day in 1956 England, we see Terry Roberts (Warren Brown) working on masonry at a factory, then flash back to a battle he fought in during World War II. Terry deals with those haunting flashbacks through drinking. One night, after he passes out in the street, a neighbor fetches his wife Annie (Faye Marsay), who brings him home. As Terry writhes in his own vomit on the floor, in full view of their children Pattie (Hattie Hook) and Peter (Finn Treacy), Annie spots a newspaper ad promising a new life in Australia for only £10.

—

### The Journey Begins

The Roberts family boards the ship that will take them on their journey to a new life. Meanwhile, we meet Kate Thorne (Michelle Keegan), who is supposed to be traveling on the same ship with her fiancé, Henry Broad (Hugo Johnstone-Burt). When everyone disembarks in Sydney six weeks later, Kate arrives alone. She tells the immigration officer that Henry changed his mind. He warns her that British passports are held by authorities for two years, a condition she accepts.

—

### Settling In—Or Not

Excited about their new adventure, the Roberts family soon discovers that the immigrant camp they are housed in is nothing like the advertisements promised. Terry struggles to find work and ends up digging ditches because Australians have first dibs on jobs.

Terry’s workplace is hostile. A co-worker named Dean (David Field) bullies him relentlessly, using the derogatory term “Pom” (a nickname for British immigrants) and claiming “Poms can’t even use the latrine.”

Meanwhile, Annie ventures into town and cunningly secures a job as a department store supervisor, despite lying by telling the manager her husband was dead. Terry, however, believes her place is at home, taking care of the family.

—

### Kate’s Secret Mission

Kate, on the other hand, takes a truck belonging to JJ Walker (Stephen Curry), the site supervisor, and heads to Sydney to visit the port office. She seduces JJ to get the keys to access immigration records, searching for someone she came all the way to Australia to find. The mystery of Kate’s story unfolds gradually, hinting at a darker backstory.

—

### What Shows Will It Remind You Of?

Created by Danny Brocklehurst, *Ten Pound Poms* bears some resemblance to *A Thousand Blows*. Many reviewers have also compared it to *Call The Midwife*, given its period setting and focus on personal struggles.

—

### Our Take

The Assisted Passage Migration Scheme was a real post-WWII program initiated by the Australian and New Zealand governments. It offered British families, struggling in postwar England, a chance to start fresh in a warm climate with suburban middle-class opportunities.

As depicted in the series, things were far from easy for British immigrants. The first episode effectively illustrates how Aussies derisively called “your majesty” those new Brits, mocking them for being out of place—even when families like the Robertses were working class.

As Dean cruelly tells Terry, “You got Blacks in Britain, don’t ya? Well, over here, you’re the Black.” This highlights the resentment many Australians felt towards British immigrants, whom they saw as job-takers. It takes much effort for the Brits to earn the Australians’ trust.

—

### Two Stories, One Darkening Path

The Robertses’ storyline portrays a working-class family trying to rebuild their lives amid adversity, while Kate’s narrative is shrouded in mystery and tension from the outset. Her deliberate choice to leave her fiancé behind hints at deeper motives, revealed subtly as she searches immigration records.

Both stories turn dark by the episode’s end. Terry, having finally found some acceptance among his coworkers, becomes entangled in a drunken accident caused by Dean, which may threaten his future. Kate’s plan also starts to falter as complications arise.

We’re eager to see how these dark turns unfold, particularly Terry’s storyline. Will the near-fatal accident haunt him as he tries to build a new life? Meanwhile, there are other stories in need of development—Annie asserting herself as a working woman, Pattie facing a possible pregnancy, and a side story involving JJ’s affair with Sheila Anderson (Emma Hamilton), a resident of the camp eager to return to England.

—

### Sex and Skin

The first episode contains no explicit content.

—

### Parting Shot

The episode closes with Terry returning from that fateful night with Dean, brooding on what lies ahead.

—

### Sleeper Star

Faye Marsay is underrated in her role as Annie. She brings depth and nuance to the character, especially during her confession to the department store manager, and her candid reflections on why her family left England.

—

### Most Pilot-y Line

Terry talks to Annie about their honeymoon B&B, describing the owner as having “a face like a smacked arse.”

—

### Our Call: STREAM IT

*Ten Pound Poms* is a generally watchable drama that explores the trials faced by British immigrants in post-WWII Australia. While a sudden dark turn in the first episode and a few underdeveloped subplots leave some questions open, the series promises a compelling look at resilience, identity, and cultural clashes.

—

If you’re interested in historical dramas that tackle real social issues with emotional depth, *Ten Pound Poms* is worth watching.

**Avengers: Doomsday – Russo Brothers Drop Intriguing Hints About the Next MCU Chapter**

Directors Joe and Anthony Russo, known for their work on major MCU films, have been teasing fans with cryptic clues about their upcoming project, *Avengers: Doomsday*. The latest hint comes from a social media post by their production company, AGBO Films, which includes imagery that may reveal significant details about the plot of *Doomsday* and its immediate sequel, *Avengers: Secret Wars*.

The post, highlighted by ScreenTime, features two AGBO employees standing back to back—one wearing an Iron Man mask and the other donning a Doctor Doom mask. The camera slowly pans around them, suggesting they could represent two sides of the same coin or possibly a transformative connection between the characters.

Adding to the intrigue, several key costume pieces appear in the background: outfits belonging to Sue Storm, Doctor Doom, and Franklin Richards are displayed together. This visual follows up on the post-credits scene from *The Fantastic Four: First Steps*, where Sue encounters Doom speaking with a young Franklin Richards.

But the significance of these costumes goes beyond mere fan service. In the 2015 *Secret Wars* comic event, Doctor Doom saves the Marvel Multiverse from total annihilation by forming Battleworld—a composite reality made from remnants of various worlds stitched together. On Battleworld, Doom rules supreme. Notably, Sue Storm serves as his queen, and her children, Franklin and Valeria Richards, become his step-children, delivering a piercing insult to his longtime rival, Reed Richards.

Could the Russo brothers be hinting that a similar dynamic will play out in their adaptation of *Secret Wars*? If the film borrows heavily from the comics—as expected—this complex relationship could be central to the story. While it’s too early to confirm, these subtle hints certainly build anticipation.

The Russo brothers have been steadily ramping up excitement for *Avengers: Doomsday* and the following *Secret Wars* film through various social media posts. Among the teases is one that appears to confirm fan theories suggesting *Doomsday* might serve as an *Avengers vs. X-Men* showdown, promising an epic clash of iconic Marvel teams.

Stay tuned as more information emerges about these highly anticipated MCU entries!

Lost In Transmission Quest Guide – ARC Raiders

Quests are a significant part of the gameplay loop in ARC Raiders, allowing you to earn various rewards by completing specific objectives. While your main goal in the game is to acquire the best loot possible, these quests add an extra layer of challenge and excitement. Although the objectives tend to be straightforward, many quests have prerequisites you need to meet.

One such quest is the Lost In Transmission quest, which sends you to the Spaceport map. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the key locations and steps required to complete this quest successfully. Let’s dive in!

About Lost In Transmission Quest

Lost In Transmission is a quest offered by Shani specifically for the Spaceport map in ARC Raiders. Completing this quest rewards you with the Snap Hook, a powerful tool that enhances your movement capabilities.

To finish the quest, you must reach and explore Control Tower A6 on the Spaceport map. However, access to the tower requires the Spaceport Control Tower Key. This key can be found as a random drop by looting drawers and cabinets, particularly in areas marked as Residential. It’s worth noting that this key is not exclusive to the Spaceport map—you may find it while looting other maps as well. Keep looting diligently until you obtain the key.

For more detailed tips on acquiring the key, be sure to check out our detailed Spaceport Control Tower Key Guide.

Quest Objectives

Objective 1: Visit Control Tower A6

Start by making your way to Control Tower A6 on the Spaceport map. Remember, you need the Spaceport Control Tower Key to open the door to the shaft that leads to the top of the tower. Without this key, you won’t be able to progress.

Objective 2: Reach The Top Of Control Tower A6

After entering through the front door of Control Tower A6, head toward the double shaft doors of the elevator. These doors will be locked initially. Use the Spaceport Control Tower Key to unlock them.

Once inside, you’ll find a zipline. Interact with the zipline to ascend all the way to the top of the tower.

Objective 3: Establish A Connection From The Terminal

At the top of the tower, you’ll enter a control room. Exercise caution here, as this small area is guarded by several ARC Pop enemies who can explode, posing a serious threat if you’re not careful.

After defeating the enemies, move to the left side of the room to find a terminal. Interact with this terminal to establish the connection and complete the quest.

Wrap Up

That covers everything you need to know to complete the Lost In Transmission quest in ARC Raiders. While the objectives themselves are relatively simple, the main challenge lies in obtaining the Spaceport Control Tower Key due to its randomized drop nature. It can be frustrating to reach the tower only to find the door locked, but persistence will pay off.

Once you have the key, navigating to the top of the tower and finishing the quest is straightforward. The reward—the Snap Hook—is incredibly valuable, allowing you to perform advanced movement techniques to scale large buildings and obstacles, giving you a significant edge in ARC Raiders.

Good luck, Raiders!

Georgian Court Releases Pregnant British Teenager In Drug Trafficking Case

Posted on by
Reply

Bella Culley, a 19-year-old British citizen who is eight months pregnant and accused by Georgian officials of drug smuggling, was released from the Tbilisi City Court on November 3 after reaching a plea bargain with prosecutors.

“Several reasons were taken into account: her health condition, her confession, her age, and her cooperation with the investigation,” Prosecutor Vakhtang Tsalugelashvili told RFE/RL. He noted that the prosecutor’s office had initiated the release of the British woman, who fully admitted her guilt, from custody.

The court found Culley guilty and sentenced her to five months and 24 days in prison, along with a fine of 500,000 laris (approximately $181,800). However, because of the time she had already served in custody at Women’s Prison No. 5 in Rustavi, she was allowed to leave immediately. As part of the penalty, her family agreed to pay the fine.

Georgian authorities discovered 12 kilograms of marijuana and 2 kilograms of hashish in Culley’s luggage. The British teenager claimed she was forced to commit the crime “under pressure and torture.”

Culley’s parents reported her missing to Thai police after failing to contact her for several days. Thai authorities joined the search, and Bella’s father, Niel Culley, traveled to Thailand to look for his daughter. Her mother later told RFE/RL that after Bella went missing in Thailand, she was allegedly tortured and then forced to fly with the drugs to Georgia.

While Culley faced up to 20 years in prison or life imprisonment, legal experts initially expected the court to keep her in custody for another two years. The decision to release her came as a surprise to Culley and her family. Her mother said she learned of the release just minutes before the hearing, which was closely monitored by British and international media.

As part of her cooperation with authorities, Culley named several people involved in the drug case, according to the prosecutor.

When leaving the courthouse, Culley expressed relief over the decision. “I’m happy, I didn’t expect it,” she said before turning to her mother and asking, “Can we go now?”

Tony Khan has allegedly stopped using 32-year-old in AEW as he’s likely to join WWE – Reports

Posted on by
Reply

AEW head honcho Tony Khan is reportedly disinterested in utilizing 32-year-old New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) athlete David Finlay due to rumors suggesting that Finlay may be WWE-bound. The star in question competed for the Jacksonville-based promotion earlier this year, in January.

Recent observations highlight a pattern where All Elite Wrestling’s Creative Head, Tony Khan, tends to avoid prominently and regularly featuring talent who are expected to leave AEW to join their competition. This approach has been evident with wrestlers such as Miro, Blake Monroe, and Ricky Starks, who have not appeared on AEW programming for extended periods, presumably due to rumors of their departures. Similar speculation surrounds Chris Jericho and Private Party, according to recent rumors.

According to Dave Meltzer’s commentary on a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, the same reasoning might apply to NJPW star David Finlay. Meltzer suggested that the Bullet Club War Dogs leader has not been showcased as frequently on AEW television compared to his teammates—such as Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors, Drilla Moloney, and Robbie X—because of the possibility that Finlay could sign with the Stamford-based WWE promotion.

“Maybe there’s the feeling that David is going to end up in WWE and Tony doesn’t want to use him,” Meltzer stated.

Meltzer further emphasized that Tony Khan has little interest in featuring performers who are projected to be headed to WWE, especially if those talents are not directly under his employ.

“Tony Khan doesn’t want to use people who are going to go to WWE even though it’s inevitable that a lot of the guys he’s using will end up in WWE just because of how wrestling works. But if you’re pretty sure they’re gonna go, then why use them?” Meltzer added.

David Finlay wrestled under the AEW banner earlier this year at the AEW x NJPW x CMLL Wrestle Dynasty event in January, where he defeated Brody King in singles competition. He also faced current AEW Men’s World Champion Hangman Page in a one-on-one match in June 2022, though he was unsuccessful in that bid.

### Mother Kuskokwim Statement Condemning Donlin Gold Project’s FAST-41 Designation

The Mother Kuskokwim Tribal Coalition strongly condemns the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council’s decision to add the Donlin Gold project to the FAST-41 list. This decision overlooks widespread opposition from Alaska Natives in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta.

The tribal coalition emphasizes that this action is especially inappropriate as regional Tribes await federal agencies’ responses to court-identified permitting flaws and continue to recover from the devastation caused by Typhoon Halong.

Fast-tracking the permitting process threatens vital environmental protections and silences Yukon-Kuskokwim communities that depend on healthy rivers for their survival. The Donlin Gold project endangers the Kuskokwim River and the communities sustained by it for millennia.

Concerns include an increase in residents’ utility bills by up to $265 a year, the production of massive cyanide-laden tailings, and the construction of a 316-mile gas pipeline through untouched lands—further jeopardizing already struggling salmon runs and subsistence resources.

Originally, FAST-41 was intended to streamline transportation infrastructure projects—not to fast-track controversial projects that fail environmental review.

While project sponsors claim to value community input, their rush to accelerate permitting despite unresolved issues demonstrates otherwise.
