'This is an apartheid regime' Israeli soldiers and settlers have killed at least 11 Palestinians across Gaza and the occupied West Bank, according to Palestinian officials and local media, in the latest bloodshed to occur during a "ceasefire" announced in October. In Gaza, at least seven Palestinians were killed in a series of Israeli attacks, including a child who died from injuries sustained days earlier, while 21 were reported on Tuesday to have been injured over a 24-hour period. Another Palestinian man was later killed on Tuesday in an Israeli drone attack near the Sheikh Nasser neighbourhood, east of Khan Younis. In northern Gaza, a Palestinian woman was killed when Israeli naval forces shelled tents sheltering displaced families northwest of Beit Lahiya. Verified video obtained by Al Jazeera showed the body of Abdullah Dawas, a child wrapped in white cloth for burial, after he succumbed to injuries 10 days after being shot in the head near al-Fakhoura clinic in northern Gaza's Jabalia refugee camp.

In this interview series, we're meeting some of the AAAI/SIGAI Doctoral Consortium participants to find out more about their research. We hear from Xinwei Song about the two main research threads she's worked on so far, plans to expand her investigations, and what inspired her to study AI. Could you start with a quick introduction - where are you studying, and what is the topic of your research? My research primarily focuses on strategic interactions in networked multi-agent systems. Could you give us an overview of the research you've carried out so far during your PhD? My research to date consists of two main threads, which complement each other in exploring strategic interactions from different perspectives.

RoboCup is an international competition that promotes and advances robotics and AI through the challenges presented by its various leagues. We got the chance to sit down with Professor Manuela Veloso, one of RoboCup's founders, to find out more about how it all started, how the community has grown over the years, and the vision for the future. I think it would be very interesting to go right back to the beginning and hear how RoboCup got started. What was the initial idea, and how did it get set up? So we are talking about the mid-90s. In terms of the research in those days, it was the beginning of the internet and many AI and computer science researchers were focused on the internet, first on sophisticated search algorithms, on natural language understanding, on information retrieval, and then on software agents and machine learning applied to digital information. From what I recall, there was a smaller group of researchers who were interested in actual, physical robots, and in particular in AI and robotics.

John Ternus ascends the throne - but Cook will stay on to manage tech giant's foreign policy as executive chair Tim Cook becomes Apple's elder statesman Apple announced late on Monday that Tim Cook will step down as CEO but will not leave the iPhone maker. Head of hardware engineering John Ternus will succeed him on 1 September. "I love Apple with all of my being," Cook said in a press release announcing his succession. Cook, 65, who succeeded Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, has been CEO since 2011. With a reputation for operational and supply chain management, he has overseen the global expansion of the company and its steady series of new, updated devices, though he never attained the same visionary status as Jobs.

Like many medical school students, Sam was broke. The 22-year-old aspiring orthopedic surgeon from northern India got some money from his parents, but he says he spent most of it subsidizing his licensing exams, and he's still saving up to hopefully emigrate to the US after graduation. So he started searching for ways to make additional money online.
