Elena Rybakina moved one step closer to completing a career Grand Slam Saturday, defeating Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 to win her first U.S. Open title. Rybakina had already been guaranteed to replace Sabalenka at No. 1 in the women's tennis world rankings next week, but she did more than inherit the top spot. She claimed the title Sabalenka had won the previous two years, making the changing of the guard official. Rybakina was still processing the special moment afterward.

Figure caption, 'There is a possibility of human extinction,' former Anthropic employee says about AI An AI researcher who quit Anthropic told the BBC that people working on the technology are genuinely frightened about the speed of its advancements and what it could mean for humanity. Jacob Coxon spoke with BBC's Laura Kuenssberg on Saturday about his viral resignation post where he raised concerns about out-of-control artificial intelligence. I believe that if we don't slow down at the current rate of progress, there is a strong chance that we could all die in the immediate future, he said. His resignation comes amid growing safety concerns in the industry, including from his former boss, head of Anthropic Dario Amodei, who in an essay on Saturday argued for development to slow down.

Critics celebrate Céline Dion's'high-stakes' comeback show in Paris Iconic Canadian pop singer Céline Dion has kicked off her long-awaited comeback show in Paris on Saturday, after a six-year hiatus due to health issues. The 58-year-old superstar was diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder called stiff person syndrome in 2022, which forced her to pull back from touring. Dion, one of the best-selling musical artists of all time, has not performed a full show since a 2020 concert in New Jersey - the last before the Covid pandemic cut her tour short. In 2024, she performed just one song at the Paris Olympics closing ceremony. Saturday marked the first of Dion's 26-show residency at the Paris La Défense Arena, Europe's largest covered concert arena.

This is 2025's November Beaver Moon captured above forests in Hungary Autumn brings longer nights to the northern hemisphere, offering more opportunities to get outside and look up at the night sky. There is plenty to look out for over the coming months, from impressive meteor showers to dazzling star clusters. The series of spectacles begins with the Pleiades as the autumn nights draw in. It will be followed by the impressive Orionid meteor shower in late October, and a planetary parade, the Leonid meteor shower and a supermoon in November.

Some dentists say more young people are grinding their teeth - are you one of them? Ella can't remember when she first started grinding her teeth at night, but she can vividly recall the excruciating jaw ache, the headaches, and being told her molars were disappearing. I was in so much pain, Ella says. My face was changing shape and my teeth were at risk of breaking - I knew I had to do something about it. The 31-year-old has bruxism, a condition which can cause regular and often intense teeth grinding, but says the treatment she's recently had has without a doubt changed her life.

Tom Felton: I'm so excited to see Rupert Grint play Ron Weasley again Every night on Broadway, Tom Felton walks on stage and is met with a roar from the audience. He had expected the reaction to die down after the first week, but it never did. Almost 15 years after his final appearance as Draco Malfoy on screen, Felton has spent the past 10 months playing the character again in the Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. I meet the actor in a dressing room at NBC Studios, just off Times Square in New York. He's just finished a live television appearance and in a few hours will be back on stage for his next performance.

University applicants in England will be given clearer information about student loans before they take them out, the government has said. Ministers said they would spell out that governments can change repayment rules and that different career choices can affect how much borrowers repay. They agreed to some but not all of the recommendations made by MPs after an inquiry into student loans, and did not say whether they would reverse a freeze to the repayment threshold for some graduates. The inquiry found the way loans had been presented to teenagers amounted to mis-selling, after the BBC revealed the Department for Education (DfE) had compared repayments to £30-a-month phone contracts. The recent debate has centred around Plan 2 loans, which were issued in England between September 2012 and July 2023, and are still issued in Wales.

Mention Lucy Letby and you're likely to get a strong reaction. The nurse was sentenced to spend the rest of her life in prison for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven more. But though two juries have convicted her, and she has twice been denied permission to appeal, it seems everyone has an opinion on whether she really did it. She has become the centre of an information war. The name Lady Justice Thirlwall, however, attracts less recognition. She's the judge who's been tasked with examining how Letby was able to commit her crimes at the Countess of Chester Hospital in 2015-2016, and whether her managers should have responded differently when suspicions about her were raised.
