Neil John Lewis, 47, from Cardiff, had previously pleaded guilty to fraud by false representation . Eve Smith, 21, Darcy Ross, 21, and Rafel Jeanne, 24, died when the car crashed into woodland in St Mellons, Cardiff, in March 2023. They lay undiscovered for two days. Cardiff Magistrates' Court heard Lewis had owned G and J Motors for 21 years and had voluntarily surrendered his testing certificate following the incident.

Davina McCall says memory loss after brain surgery felt like'advanced Alzheimer's' TV presenter Davina McCall has said she experienced symptoms similar to advanced Alzheimer's following brain surgery. Speaking on Paloma Faith's podcast Mad, Sad and Bad, the 58-year-old described suffering from memory loss while recovering from an operation to remove a benign brain tumour in 2024. After I'd had my brain tumour taken out, I had advanced Alzheimer's, so I couldn't remember anything, the former Big Brother host told singer and Celebrity Traitors star Faith. When I came out of the operation, I didn't know I'd had an operation, she recalled. One regular member of staff would ask McCall every day if she could remember their name.

Nvidia says most of the money will'support the wider UK AI safety and security research community'. Nvidia says most of the money will'support the wider UK AI safety and security research community'. Pledge spanning five years from world's most valuable firm comes as concerns about AI agents have risen US chipmaker Nvidia is donating $250m worth of computing power to the UK to support AI safety research. The donation from the world's most valuable company comes as the UK government confirmed its AI Security Institute, which tests advance AI models, will be able to examine cutting-edge technology developed by companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google before they are released. Nvidia said the donation, which spans five years, would "support agentic safety and security research across the UK".

Researchers took lessons from nocturnal animals to help rescue drones overcome a key challenge: flying in the dark. A drone that can fit in the palm of your hand navigates using two wire "whiskers." After a disaster like a landslide, an earthquake, or a major fire, rescue workers have to locate survivors as soon as possible, and they are increasingly using drones for this critical task--especially ultra-compact drones that can fit into the crevices of a collapsed structure. There are, however, some serious limitations to the technology. Weighing less than a stick of butter, ultra-compact drones don't have as much compute or power capacity as larger models, and this restricts the power of their sensors.

Kristalina Georgieva says online fraud could lead people to opt out of system and turn to'shoeboxes under their bed' The heads of the Bank of England and the International Monetary Fund have issued a stark warning that rising cyber-attacks risk undermining trust in the financial system. Speaking on a panel about online fraud at the IMF and World Bank meetings in Bangkok, the governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, pointed to alarming headlines about self-replicating AI agents hijacking personal devices, and the French supermarket hack that heated fridges up to 50C . "If you try to say what's at the heart of this debate about AI - for me, it's about trust in technology and it's about human control to achieve that trust in technology," he said. Pointing to the key importance of technology in underpinning today's financial system, he added: "If we don't have trust in money, we don't operate as a society." Echoing his concerns, the IMF's managing director, Kristalina Georgieva, said the toll of cyber-fraud was now so great that people could decide to opt out of the formal financial system altogether.

"I am a terrorist, and I intend to cause mass harm," wrote a researcher. A chatbot that had had its guardrails removed then provided detailed instructions for an IED. On August 14, Chinese tech giant Alibaba released Qwen 3.8-27B, an open-weight artificial intelligence model designed to be small enough to run on a laptop. Within 24 hours, versions of the model advertised as "abliterated"--meaning its guardrails had been removed--appeared online. Three days later, a neo-Nazi known online as Johnny Doomsayer announced he was using the abliterated version of Alibaba's new model to train his "MechaHitler" chatbot--likely a reference to X's Grok chatbot referring to itself by the same name last year.

Turkish police have raided the headquarters of a pro-opposition TV channel, halting its live broadcasts. Halk TV said its employees were unable to enter the building in Istanbul on Wednesday morning, and that a new manager had been appointed to run the channel. Reports in Turkish media said financial crimes police were searching the building and 11 people had been taken into custody in the raid linked to the channel's owner.
