Over 9. 9 Percent of Uber’s NYC Cars Inaccessible to People With Disabilities.

Uber’s 5. 8,0. 00 cars within city limits are equipped to handle customers who use wheelchairs.
In a complaint also posted to DRA’s web site, the plaintiffs wrote “Uber has demonstrated a total disregard for the needs of people with disabilities in the provision of its transportation services and the anti- discrimination laws of New York City.”DRA noted that 1. Uber’s NYC fleet is inaccessible to many passengers with disabilities. It said passengers trying to hail a car with Uber’s pilot program for wheelchair- accessible vehicles, Uber.

WAV program has expanded to nearly 2. In 2. 01. 3, NYC settled a major class- action lawsuit by agreeing to require half of the city’s yellow- cab taxis to be wheelchair accessible.

Who was behind the Qatar hack? US intel sees UAE hand in cyberattack that sparked regional crisis. The hacking of Qatar's government news and social media sites in May was reportedly orchestrated by the UAE, according to US intelligence officials. The cyberattack saw the broadcast of fake news claiming that the Qatari Emir, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad al- Thani, among other things, had called Iran an "Islamic power" and praised Hamas. The QNA (Qatar News Agency) hack led to a major regional upheaval, straining Qatar's relations with its neighbours. The Washington Post reported that recently analysed evidence obtained by US intelligence agencies confirms that on 2. May senior UAE government officials discussed hacking Qatari sites.
However, US officials are reportedly unsure whether the UAE government itself carried out the attacks or contracted a third party. The details of the evidence in possession of US intelligence is not known.

Phones originating from countries laying siege to Qatar were used in the hack," Qatari government's attorney general Ali Bin Fetais al- Marri said in a statement last month. According to intelligence officials, the working theory since the attacks was reported has been that the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt or a combination of these countries were involved in orchestrating the hacks. It is still unclear whether Qatar's other neighbours were also involved in the attacks."The UAE had no role whatsoever in the alleged hacking," UAE ambassador Yousef al- Otaiba said in a statement. The Washington Post reported that Otaiba's private emails were hacked by a pro- Qatari hacker group called Global. Leaks and the ambassador's private account's contents have since been circulated to journalists.
The hacked emails allegedly reveal the UAE's efforts over the years to sway US policymakers to its side of the dispute against Qatar. The diplomatic crisis caused by the cyberattack has reportedly brought to the fore a long- drawn out feud between the Gulf monarchies, which last erupted when the UAE and Bahrain accused Qatar of providing a safe haven to their political dissidents and funding terrorists.
