Not building third runway would be'huge missed opportunity', warns Heathrow boss Not building a third runway at Heathrow Airport would be a huge missed opportunity for the UK, the boss of the country's busiest airport has warned. Thomas Woldbye told BBC Radio 4's Today programme it would be good to know the government's position on the project, after Prime Minister Andy Burnham refused to say whether he backed expansion. The airport's chief executive said if its owners could not invest in a third runway, the money will be invested somewhere else in the world, suggesting a decision would be made in the new year. The Department for Transport said it was reviewing responses to a consultation and was considering the appropriate next steps. A spokesperson added that the government supported airport expansion across the country where this can contribute to growth and opportunity, while meeting the tests on the environment.

Longtime Doctor Who writer and showrunner Russell T Davies has criticised the new BBC director general over comments he made about an AI-generated episode of the show. Matt Brittin told a Royal Television Society conference in September that he had been sent a pretty good 50-minute unofficial Doctor Who episode. That's a clumsy thing to say in an industry where he's got writers and artists and it specifically affects people, they're the first to take the blow, Davies told BBC Radio 4's The Media Show. Addressing criticism he has received, Brittin told a staff meeting last week he was attempting to make a point around the pace of change while stressing he believed in human creativity. The director general joked he had got into trouble over what he had said, but added: I was just trying to make the point: Look at the pace of change and what this stuff can do.

OpenAI says it discovered a hidden recording device in one of its offices, wrapped in toilet paper and tucked behind a television.

SoftBank junk bond sale raises stakes for CEO Son's all-in AI bet SoftBank Group Chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son's bets have a mixed track record -- his investment in Chinese tech giant Alibaba was a major success, but he also directed $16 billion to Adam Neumann's WeWork, which ultimately went bankrupt. SoftBank's promise to pay its highest-ever yields in a record $11 billion junk-bond offering highlights the pressure on CEO Masayoshi Son to secure returns on his all-in bet on artificial intelligence amid concerns about possible overheating in the market. The SoftBank debt issuance last month added to a sharp surge in corporate borrowing this year, including major bond sales from Amazon, Alphabet and Tencent. The scale of Son's investments, which include backing totaling $64.6 billion for ChatGPT maker OpenAI, in particular, has made the technology-and-investing conglomerate a bellwether for AI sentiment. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

OpenAI discovered a recording device plugged into a USB port on the back of a television in an executive conference room at one of its San Francisco buildings last month. U.S. federal agents have arrested a Saudi national who was an OpenAI engineer and charged him with installing a hidden audio recording device in an executive conference room at the AI company, the Justice Department said on Tuesday. The case highlights growing security concerns around sensitive AI research as companies and governments compete fiercely for the talent and technology that could confer economic and strategic advantages. Abdulrahman Alfozan, 35, had worked as an engineer at OpenAI since July 2025, the Justice Department said in a statement. An email sent to an address associated with that name did not elicit a response, and it was not immediately clear who his lawyer was.

We've heard rumors for years that Apple was working on an iPad-style display from which you'd be able to manage smart home devices. It was described as the company's answer to Amazon's Echo Show or Google's Nest Hub. Reports suggested it would be called the HomePad, but thankfully Apple steered clear of causing any confusion with the HomePod. Instead, the device is called the HomeView. This gizmo has a tilting, seven-square-inch Liquid Retina touch display -- perhaps paving the way for the touchscreen MacBook that's said to be coming very soon -- that's attached to a base with a speaker. You can place one on a table or countertop and mount the other to a wall.

Did Iran capture a US submarine? Iran sees'false flag' operations after UK blames IRGC for airbase incident Share Iran sees'false flag' operations after UK blames IRGC for airbase incident on social media Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned the United Kingdom's attribution of an alleged plot near a military airbase in the town of Fairford to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which it views as part of a greater Western effort. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham told Parliament on Monday that the suspected plot last month against the Royal Air Force base was "highly likely to have been coordinated in Iran" and "almost certainly directed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard". The UK announced sanctions against two Iranian nationals over alleged "hostile activity" at RAF Fairford in southern England. It follows an incident around the base, which hosted US military aircraft, in the early hours of September 27, when five British men in their 20s suspected of "terrorism" and explosives offences were arrested.

Did Iran capture a US submarine? Iran threatens Gulf data centres: How exposed is the region's internet? Iran's security chief, Mohsen Rezaei, has warned that cables, data centres and artificial intelligence (AI) facilities across the region could be attacked if war with the United States erupts again. The warning comes as the capture of Yemeni territory along the Red Sea coastline last month by the Iran-backed Houthis has raised concerns over the safety of internet cables linking Europe and Asia. Fierce fighting is under way between Yemen's internationally recognised government and the Houthis at several locations, including Bab al-Mandeb, through which nearly one-fifth of global internet traffic passes.
