Is the war entering a new phase? Separate Ukrainian drone strikes across Russia have killed at least three people, while another attack triggered a massive blaze at a warehouse belonging to Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries in the Tambov region. Tambov Governor Yevgeny Pervyshov said on Wednesday that the logistics centre was "completely destroyed by fire". He said earlier that about 100,000 square metres (1.1 million square feet) of the facility were set ablaze, the equivalent of 14 football pitches. He did not say if the fire had been extinguished.

Wayve and Uber have said more than 100,000 Londoners are on their waiting list for self-driving taxis. Wayve and Uber have said more than 100,000 Londoners are on their waiting list for self-driving taxis. Uber and Wayve had said they would start trips'later this summer' but launch now looks unlikely this year The rollout of robotaxis on the streets of London is unlikely to happen this year, as regulatory and technical hurdles push back the ambitious schedule set out by the UK government. Only weeks ago Uber and London-based Wayve were granted the first minicab licences in the capital to allow them to offer self-driving taxi rides to paying customers - but with a human safety driver in place, for now - and said they would start trips "later this summer" before a full public launch . In 2025, Heidi Alexander, the transport secretary, accelerated the proposed timeline for commercial trials of fully driverless taxi services by a year, announcing that they would start in the spring of this year.

Russia is expanding its campaign of hybrid attacks against countries that supply weapons and money to Kyiv and has caught Europe without a plan to respond. From cyber attacks to armed drones and mysterious cases of arson, tensions are rising across the continent as the war in Ukraine is set to enter its fifth winter. Just this month, Poland said it thwarted an attempted assassination of a U.S. citizen originally from Ukraine that was ordered by Russia, while Estonia accused Moscow of being behind a fire at a drone-maker. Meanwhile, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Tuesday that those responsible for hybrid attacks "will pay the price" after an explosive-laden drone was discovered at an airport in Leipzig near a Ukrainian cargo plane, raising speculation that Moscow was involved in an attempted strike.

How green is your robot? Robots clean rivers and sort waste, monitor ecosystems, and inspect renewable-energy infrastructure . But even the greenest robot has an environmental footprint. Across a full lifecycle, from rare earth mineral extraction and manufacturing to operation and end-of-life, robots have an environmental impact. But the robotics community has, until now, lacked dedicated tools for calculating it.

Figure caption, Chloe Moffat's father David says there'was no safeguarding' from the Treasury before Chloe took her own life The father of a civil service employee who took her own life the day after a meeting with her managers has said the lack of support given to her by the Treasury beggars belief. Chloe Moffat, 26, a personal assistant to a Treasury director, died on 20 May last year, after she was told of allegations she had shared sensitive confidential information about colleagues, which she denied. Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, David Moffat said he did not feel the Treasury had taken responsibility for its part in her death. He added that her loss was devastating, and had torn such a big hole in our lives.

Their new type of artificial intelligence model has learned to predict physical phenomena in space and time. SAN FRANCISCO - A research duo, once pitched to lead the Jeff Bezos-backed Project Prometheus, on Tuesday unveiled what they've built on their own: an artificial intelligence model that can take in and produce information so vast that a lone computer might not handle it. Their company, Accelerated Understanding, says it has developed a different type of AI model that in tests handled 5 trillion pieces of data in a single prompt. That is some 5 million times the size of what Anthropic and Google's flagship models can typically consume -- like reading Tolstoy's "War and Peace" not once but 5 million times in one sitting. The difference is that this new system is not built for understanding language. It is built for physics, said co-founders Anima Anandkumar and Benedikt Jenik, in an exclusive interview ahead of Tuesday's corporate launch.

As Ukraine hits Russia's refineries, Russia targets Ukraine's petrol pumps Fill up quickly and move on, Mayor Ihor Terekhov warns drivers in Ukraine's second largest city Kharkiv. Two petrol stations in the city in Ukraine's north-east were hit by Russian drones on Monday, which local officials say wounded two people. In another attack on a petrol station outside the city of Kryvyi Rih last week, three people were killed. Russia's campaign of targeting civilian filling stations with drones and missiles began in earnest in April, primarily in regions on the front line, and the attacks are steadily growing more frequent. At the same time, Russia has endured two waves of severe fuel shortages across the country as a result of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries.
