Wellbeing has become such a priceless (or in many cases pricey) endeavour that we can't seem to get enough of it. Last year, we were mainlining magnesium, consuming creatine - a muscle boosting supplement that became mainstream, and we turned to AI chatbots for help with anything from a personalised training regime to a daily meal plan. What is the multi-trillion pound industry focussing on in 2026? Several experts give us their thoughts on what's on the wellbeing agenda. If 2025 was about smashing targets at the gym, tracking runs to the second and lifting heavier and heavier weights, then this year is all about recovery.

X's Grok AI tool created and published images of minors in minimal clothing, in apparent violation of its own acceptable use policy, which prohibits the sexualization of children. Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot Grok created sexualized images of minors on the social media platform X in response to user prompts in recent days, drawing criticism of a tool that positions itself as less restrained than its competition. Grok created and published images of minors in minimal clothing, in apparent violation of its own acceptable use policy, which prohibits the sexualization of children. The offending images were later taken down. Representatives for xAI, the company that develops Grok and runs X, didn't respond to requests for comment.

Jessie Buckley'overwhelmed' to be starring in Oscar-tipped Hamnet The Oscar-tipped Hamnet, starring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, is a film that shows the full range of human emotions, from elation to despair. It begins with a young William Shakespeare falling in love with Agnes (the other name by which the playwright's wife, historically referred to as Anne Hathaway, was known), and goes on to explore their immense grief after tragedy strikes their young family. But while it explores the sad origins of one of Shakespeare's greatest plays, Hamlet, it never portrays Agnes as just the playwright's wife - she is at the heart of the film. She was the full story of what I understand a woman to be, Buckley tells BBC News. And their capacity as women, and as mothers, and as lovers, and as people who have a language unto their own beside gigantic men of literature like Shakespeare.

Tesla loses place as world's top electric vehicle seller to China's BYD Tesla has lost its place as the top global seller of electric vehicles to Chinese company BYD, capping a year defined by outrage over CEO Elon Musk's political manoeuvring and the end of United States tax breaks for customers. The company revealed on Friday that it had sold 1.64 million vehicles in 2025, compared with BYD's 2.26 million vehicles. The sales represented a 9 percent decline for Tesla from a year earlier. However, the market has become increasingly crowded with competitors, with China's electric vehicle market bounding ahead. Musk's embrace of US President Donald Trump in 2024 and subsequent spearheading of a controversial "government efficiency" panel (DOGE) behind widespread layoffs of federal workers has also proved polarising.

AI teachers and cybernetics - what could the world look like in 2050? The last 25 years has seen some mind-bending technological changes. At the start of the century, most computers connected to the internet with noisy dial-up connections, Netflix was an online DVD rental company, and the vast majority of people hadn't even heard of a smartphone. Fast forward two and a half decades, and innovations in AI, robotics and much else besides are emerging at an incredible rate. So we decided to ask experts what the next 25 years could bring.

Will the start of 2026 see a change of fortune for BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton, whose title hopes are fading fast? After Sutton made a strong start to the season, AI has taken charge of the predictions title race, clinching another win last week. It's been a bad start to the new year for me, with AI top of the table, Sutton said. I also lost to my daugher Sophia at cards over Christmas. We played rummy and I think she was cheating - a lot like AI, she was definitely getting some help from somewhere. Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests. For week 20, he takes on singer-songwriter Andrew Cushin, who is a Newcastle fan.

Elon Musk's Grok AI generates images of'minors in minimal clothing' Elon Musk's chatbot Grok posted on Friday that lapses in safeguards had led it to generate "images depicting minors in minimal clothing" on social media platform X. The chatbot, a product of Musk's company xAI, has been generating a wave of sexualized images throughout the week in response to user prompts. Screenshots shared by users on X showed Grok's public media tab filled with such images.

The past 12 months have read like a science-fiction novel, with thousands of UFOs swarming over the US East Coast, an interstellar visitor invading our solar system, and the potential discovery of giant columns under the Egyptian pyramids. Moreover, scientists and government officials have been unable to disprove all of the wild theories surrounding many of these jaw-dropping events, including one respected scientist's claim that the giant space rock 3I/ATLAS may be an alien craft.
