Are ICE agents trained to use 'deadly force' and evade lawsuits?
Are ICE agents trained to use'deadly force' and evade lawsuits? In the weeks since United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, Minnesota, another ICE agent shot a Latino man in the leg, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Good's killing and the subsequent shooting have ignited a wave of calls and queries about whether ICE officers can be prosecuted. But the shootings in Minnesota are not outliers, and the history of ICE shootings shows that holding officers to account has been next to impossible. I know, because I investigated the agency's practices, obtaining documents that reveal how it operates and how its officers are trained to shield themselves from scrutiny and lawsuits.
Watch: Drone footage shows scale of one illegal waste dump
Hundreds of illegal dumps are operating across England, including at least 11 so-called super sites containing tens of thousands of tonnes of rubbish, a BBC investigation has found. Drone footage showed one of the waste dumps in Over, Gloucestershire. Most sites are in countryside locations, often hidden, and on what should be agricultural land. Police say many are run by organised crime gangs, who are making cash by charging much less than legitimate operators to take and bury waste. How the great outdoors went from an escape from the nine to five to a full-time social media job.

Sutton's predictions v 'Roy Keane' - Saipan star Hardwicke
Is this AI's worst prediction yet? Chris Sutton's guest this week, actor Éanna Hardwicke, plays Roy Keane in Saipan - a new film about the former Manchester United captain's infamous fallout with Republic of Ireland manager Mick McCarthy before the 2002 World Cup. It is in cinemas from Friday. Naturally, we asked AI who would play Sutton if a film were ever made about him. The best fit, apparently, is Hollywood heartthrob Tom Hardy - who is four inches shorter than BBC Sport football expert Sutton but is AI's top choice for the role because he is known for portraying tough, brooding characters with emotional depth. That just shows how way off the mark AI is, said Sutton. But I'm happy with Tom Hardy, even though he is not tall enough.

Why Experts Can't Agree on Whether AI Has a Mind
Why Experts Can't Agree on Whether AI Has a Mind Pillay is an editorial fellow at TIME. Pillay is an editorial fellow at TIME. I'm not used to getting nasty emails from a holy man, says Professor Michael Levin, a developmental biologist at Tufts University. Levin was presenting his research to a group of engineers interested in spiritual matters in India, arguing that properties like "mind" and intelligence can be observed even in cellular systems, and that they exist on a spectrum. But when he pushed further--arguing that the same properties emerge everywhere, including in computers--the reception shifted.
