Located at an altitude of 5,364 metres (17,600 feet), the base camp is where Everest climbers acclimatise to the thin air before heading towards the 8,849-metre (29,032ft) summit in Nepal, home to eight of the world's 10 highest peaks. It is a task the Chinese-made DJI FlyCart 30 drones have already been performing since 2024. For its test, the US team hired Seven Summit Treks, an expedition agency, and local drone pilots were called to the base camp. But as Gor and his team reached the base camp, the US plan hit a snag. Nepal's Ministry of Home Affairs refused to issue a drone flight permit to the US officials.

One person has been killed and dozens wounded after Russia launched a massive wave of strikes against Ukraine overnight, officials have said. Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said it was an especially difficult night for Kyiv, where rescuers are searching through the rubble of a residential building after a combined missile and drone attack on the Ukrainian capital. The overnight barrage followed a major attack on Wednesday - one of the largest Russia has mounted since the start of its full-scale invasion in 2022, with 892 drones launched in 24 hours. It marks the third day in a row Ukraine has reported deaths, as Moscow ramps up its assault after a three-day ceasefire expired on Monday. In the capital, a search and rescue operation began early Thursday to look for people under the rubble of a nine-storey apartment block which had been hit overnight.

OpenAI floats idea of global AI governance body with U.S. and China The U.S. has an opportunity to use its lead in artificial intelligence technology to create a global governance mechanism to ensure safer, more resilient systems, OpenAI's vice president of global affairs, Chris Lehane, said. OpenAI would support the creation of a global governance body for artificial intelligence led by the U.S. and including China as a member, a top company executive said, hours before the start of U.S. President Donald Trump's high-stakes meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. When asked about the China summit, OpenAI's vice president of global affairs, Chris Lehane, said Wednesday that the U.S. has an opportunity to use its lead in AI technology to create a global governance mechanism resulting in safer, more resilient systems. "AI, in some level, transcends a lot of the prevailing or traditional trade type of issues," Lehane told reporters during a briefing at the company's offices in Washington. "There is an opportunity to really start to build something up globally, and have countries around the world, including China, potentially participate." In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

Amazon is hoping that AI-powered answers will help keep shoppers from defecting to other sites or chatbots. Artificial intelligence algorithms are coming to some of the most valuable real estate in retail: the Amazon.com Queries typed into Amazon's website and mobile app will soon reply, depending on the context, with product comparisons or suggestions generated by AI large language models, the online retailer said Wednesday. The new tool -- called Alexa for Shopping -- supplants Rufus, the shopping assistant bot that summarized product reviews and suggested purchases. To invoke Rufus, users had to click a blue and orange icon. The new search experience will appear by default, beginning this week for users in the U.S. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

A worker arranges packets of condoms at a pharmacy in Dhaka. Bangladesh's family planning system is buckling under severe contraceptive shortages. DHAKA - Bangladesh's once-praised family planning system is buckling under severe contraceptive shortages, raising fears of a rise in unplanned pregnancies in one of the world's most densely populated countries. For decades, the South Asian nation was hailed as a success for slashing birth rates through an expansive state-backed family planning program that sent field workers door to door with pills, condoms and advice on birth spacing. But that system is now faltering, with government clinics across the country of 170 million people running out of basic contraceptives after procurement failures and administrative disruption left supplies depleted in nearly a third of districts. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

TDK CEO Noboru Saito says the firm is prepared to add investments to ride the global boom in generative artificial intelligence. Electronics component linchpin TDK is prepared to add to what is already its biggest capital spending campaign ever in a push to ride the global boom in generative artificial intelligence. The company has added ¥100 billion ($640 million) to its multiyear investment plan each year since it rolled it out in 2024, and now CEO Noboru Saito says the effort may accelerate to match an expected surge in orders and demand. "Should promising prospects arise, our commitment is to make timely and opportunistic investments," Saito, 59, said in an interview. "If we don't sow the seeds for medium-to long-term growth now, we won't be able to reap the harvest later." In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

MUFG Bank, Mizuho Bank and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking are all likely to gain access to Anthropic's artificial intelligence model, Mythos. Japan's three megabanks are set to secure access to Anthropic's artificial intelligence model, Mythos, according to a person familiar with the matter, after its limited release last month sparked fears of a new age of cybersecurity risks. MUFG Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. and Mizuho Bank are all likely to gain access to the artificial intelligence model developed by the U.S. firm, the person said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. The planned access was earlier reported by Nikkei. The move comes as financial institutions around the world grow alarmed about the risks created by Mythos, which has an unprecedented ability to detect software vulnerabilities. That has raised concerns that hackers could use Mythos to disrupt critical infrastructure, and access has so far been limited to a small number of U.S. companies and organizations.
