After days and weeks of gloomy skies and relentless rain for some, there has finally been a change to our weather in the United Kingdom. Arctic air across the UK means the weekend starts cold and frosty with some snow and ice, especially in northern parts. But, there will be lots of sunshine for most throughout Saturday. However, it will be temporary as rain with more snow and ice spreads overnight into Sunday. Further Met Office yellow warnings for ice and snow have been issued across Scotland and northern England from 21:00 GMT to 10:00 on Sunday.

A baby with a rare neurological disorder, airlifted to hospital after collapsing in a supermarket, is not out of the woods yet, said his father. Seven-month-old Rupert Smith, from Broughton, Flintshire, stopped breathing in a Tesco store in Broughton Park, on Monday. His mother Siobhan, 35, immediately called for help and administered CPR before emergency services, including paramedics, police and an air ambulance arrived. Rupert, who has a disorder called alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC), was flown to Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool for treatment. Dad Dave Smith said Rupert had continued to have quite significant seizures [in hospital] so they have been giving him medication and he has undergone various different tests.

I asked AI to plan my dream summer holiday. Here's how it turned out The gothic arches of Santa María de la Asunción crown the hill above the stone harbour where fishermen land their catches of sardines and anchovies. The church in Castro Urdiales, a small seaside town of about 30,000 people in northern Spain, is more than 700 years old. It was the perfect holiday destination for Alan Smith and his family, though he had never heard of it - until he asked ChatGPT. This week a report from the travel association ABTA found an increasing number of people were turning to AI to help with their holidays, from suggesting destinations to planning itineraries once there.

A mysterious hand that was created around 3,500 years ago and is believed to be Europe's oldest prosthetic limb will go on display in the UK for the first time this week. The artefact, which experts think may also have doubled as a knife, was discovered in western Switzerland in 2017. It is made from bronze with a gold cuff and dates to between 1,500 and 1,400 BC. The hand has been on display only once before, making a brief appearance in Germany, but will now be part of the'World of Stonehenge' exhibition at the British Museum. Detectorists found the hand buried in a human grave near Lake Biel, along with a hair ornament, bronze dagger and cloak pin.

Peter Donnelly asks: "Why rage against machines when we could be friends?" Unfortunately, he neglects to mention the way the technology can be exploited to the detriment of individuals and communities. We(???) gave a similar upbeat prediction of the benefits information technology could provide when it first appeared some decades ago and, indeed, continue to do so. Much of this is justified – information technology has transformed our capabilities and in doing so has been of huge benefit to mankind in many domains. But some of that capability has been exploited by our dark side, ranging from pornography to criminal activities, fraud, trolling and hacking, taking in controversial surveillance and threats to privacy. Much of the current discussion in information technology communities is devoted to ways of fighting the dark side and organisations increasingly deploy more of their resources to fighting off or repairing the damage from the "bad guys".
