      Obamaโ€™s Last 100 Days: Cuba and Castros edition

      Ever since the administration of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, presidents have been judged on the successes they notch during their first 100 days. Now, as Barack Obama prepares to end his star turn on the political stage, Yahoo News is launching The Last 100 Days, a look at what Obama achieved during his consequential presidency, how he navigates the struggles of his final months in office and what lies ahead for him after eight years filled with firsts. As Obama himself is fond of noting, he also spent his two terms as father to daughters Malia and Sasha and husband to first lady Michelle Obama.

      IS threat lingers in Afghanistan despite leader's death

      The killing of the Islamic State group's leader in Afghanistan and Pakistan has dealt a major blow to the jihadists, but despite a US-backed scorched earth offensive the regional franchise is far from over, observers said Saturday. Hafiz Saeed was killed in a US airstrike in eastern Nangarhar province last month, the Pentagon announced Friday, as Afghan forces mount an operation against the militants after they claimed the deadliest attack in Kabul for 15 years. The death of Saeed, the second prominent militant to be killed in a US regional strike in recent months, is a setback to the group's efforts to expand beyond its heartland of Syria and Iraq into Afghanistan and Pakistan.

      The Meteor Shower of the Decade Is Coming Tonight

      On August 11 and 12, the biggest meteor shower of the year, the Perseids, will be lighting up the night sky, and this year the Perseids promise to be the best shower of the decade. The Perseids typically peak in mid-August every year, when the Earth intersects with the trail of Comet Swift-Tuttle. Debris from the comet impacts the Earth's atmosphere and streaks across the sky, creating shooting stars.

      Sole Russian track athlete banned from Rio, quickly appeals

      The IAAF said Saturday it has banned the only Russian in Olympic track and field from competition and that she is appealing the ruling. The eligibility of long jumper Darya Klishina was revoked by the IAAF based on new information it received last week, spokesman Yannis Nikolaou told The Associated Press. McLaren has alleged that Russian security services were able to open supposedly tamper-proof bottles with the intent of swapping out tainted samples for clean urine, leaving behind telltale scratch marks on the glass.

      100 Million Volkswagens Could Be Unlocked by a Simple Key Fob Hack

      According to a study set to be unveiled next week at the Usenix Security Conference by a research team at the University of Birmingham, there is a flaw in Volkswagen Group key fobs that allows hackers to intercept its signal to gain access to vehicles. The paper was put together by Flavio Garcia with his research team at the University of Birmingham, with the assistance of german engineering firm Kasper & Oswald. How it works is, researchers are able to use a component inside Volkswagen's internal network to obtain a single cryptographic key that millions of its cars use.
