The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has killed 27 people in a reported drone attack on a Sudanese army base in the southeastern city of Sinja, a military source told Al Jazeera. Monday's attack coincided with an announcement a day prior that the government, aligned with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), would be returning to the capital, Khartoum, three years after it had shifted its base of operations to Port Sudan. The military source, who spoke to Al Jazeera on condition of anonymity, said Monday's drone attack targeted not only leaders in the government forces but also the security teams and civilians accompanying them. It was unclear how many people were wounded in the attack. Al Jazeera received reports that 13 people were injured, while some estimates have put the number much higher.

Could Ukraine hold a presidential election right now? Will Europe use frozen Russian assets to fund war? How can Ukraine rebuild China ties? 'Ukraine is running out of men, money and time' Russian drone attack kills 4 in Ukraine's Kharkiv as peace remains elusive A Russian drone attack on Ukraine's northeastern city of Kharkiv has killed at least four people and wounded six, officials have said, just hours after Washington accused Moscow of "dangerous and inexplicable escalation" of the war and as a peace deal remains distant. Kharkiv Regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov said Tuesday that the death toll from the attack on the outskirts of the frequently targeted city, just 30km (19 miles) from the border, had risen to four.

The UK government is threatening to ban Elon Musk's X platform after Technology Secretary Liz Kendall confirmed an investigation into AI-generated sexual abuse images.

FBI Agent's Sworn Testimony Contradicts Claims ICE's Jonathan Ross Made Under Oath The testimony also calls into question whether Ross failed to follow his training during the incident in which he reportedly shot and killed Minnesota citizen Renee Good. In testimony last month in federal court in Minnesota, FBI special agent Bernardo Medellin appeared to directly contradict a claim that ICE agent Jonathan Ross made under oath about whether a man they were trying to detain had asked to speak to his attorney. Medellin's testimony, which details federal training for interactions with drivers, also calls into question whether Ross followed his training during the interaction that led to the shooting and killing of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother, last week. Ross has been identified by multiple media outlets as the shooter; while the Trump administration has declined to confirm those reports, details about the shooter shared by Vice President JD Vance match details of Ross' biography. As WIRED previously reported, in December Ross testified that last June he led a team seeking to apprehend a man named Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala, who had an administrative warrant out for being in the US without authorization.

Two of these images were generated using the artificial intelligence tool Grok, which is free to use and belongs to Elon Musk. I've never worn the rather fetching yellow ski suit, or the red and blue jacket - the middle photo is the original - but I don't know how I could prove that if I needed to, because of those pictures. Of course, Grok is under fire for undressing rather than redressing women. It made pictures of people in bikinis, or worse, when prompted by others. And shared the results in public on the social network X.

America must win the AI energy war by 2026 or risk falling behind China, warns oil chief. Surging AI demand requires massive infrastructure buildup.

Clips from creators in Minnesota have become primary evidence in attempts from the right-wing to justify ICE's surge on American cities. In the days since a masked federal agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, right-wing creators and influencers like Nick Sortor and Cam Higby have descended on Minneapolis, filming protestors and interviewing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. So far, they've produced a steady stream of content that appears designed to paint Minneapolis as a lawless city, and the actions of ICE agents like Jonathan Ross, who reportedly shot and killed Good, as self-defense. "HELL YES! ICE just SMASHED a leftist activist's car window in and pulled them out after they interfered in ICE's operations in Minneapolis. MORE OF THIS!" Sortor posted to X on Sunday, "Consequences must be STEEP!"

The fundraiser for the ICE agent in the Renee Good killing has stayed online in seeming breach of GoFundMe's own terms of service, prompting questions about selective enforcement. The crowdfunding platform GoFundMe is allowing a fundraising campaign tied to the potential legal defense of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who fatally shot a civilian to remain online, despite company rules barring fundraisers connected to violent crimes and past enforcement actions against similar campaigns. The fundraiser, titled "ICE OFFICER Jonathan Ross," seeks at least $550,000 to support potential legal expenses for the ICE agent identified as having shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a mother of three and widow of a military veteran, during an encounter with immigration agents in Minneapolis. The officer was first identified as Jonathan Ross, 43, by the Minnesota Star Tribune. The GoFundMe campaign's stated purpose--raising money for legal services following a killing--directly conflicts with GoFundMe's terms of service, which specifically bars fundraisers that are intended to support the legal defense of people accused of financial or violent crimes.

United Kingdom media regulator Ofcom has launched a formal investigation into Elon Musk's X over the use of AI chatbot Grok to generate deepfake sexualised images. Ofcom labelled the reports as "deeply concerning", warning in a statement issued on Monday that the chatbot's creation of nude deepfakes could amount to "intimate image abuse or pornography", and that "sexualised images of children" could be considered "child sexual abuse material". Ofcom said its investigation will determine whether X "failed to comply with its legal obligations", and was launched after the company complied with an earlier request from the regulator to explain the steps it had taken to protect UK users. Asked for a comment, X referred the AFP news agency to a previous statement, which said it took action against illegal content on X "by removing it, permanently suspending accounts, and working with local governments and law enforcement as necessary". Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said it was vital that Ofcom complete its investigation swiftly, as the public, and most importantly the victims, would not accept any delay.

The UK will bring into force a law which will make it illegal to create non-consensual intimate images, following widespread concerns over Elon Musk's Grok AI chatbot. The Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said the government would also seek to make it illegal for companies to supply the tools designed to create such images. Speaking to the Commons, Kendall said AI-generated pictures of women and children in states of undress, created without a person's consent, were not harmless images but weapons of abuse. The BBC has approached X for comment. It previously said: Anyone using or prompting Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content..
