A new congressional report warns China's military buildup has reached a war footing with 350 new missile silos and 20% nuclear expansion, threatening U.S. deterrence.

UK's sweeping asylum law changes: How will they impact refugees? Shabana Mahmood, the United Kingdom's home secretary, has said the country's asylum system is "not working" and is placing "intense strain on communities" ahead of proposals for major government reforms that would end refugees' automatic right to settle permanently in the UK. Speaking to the BBC on Sunday, Mahmood said undocumented migration is "tearing the country apart". First, they would end the automatic path to settled status for refugees after five years. And second, they would remove state benefits from those who have the right to work and can support themselves.

What is the chance your plane will be hit by space debris? The risk of flights being hit by space junk is still small, but it's growing. About three pieces of old space equipment --used rockets and defunct satellites--fall into Earth's atmosphere every day, according to estimates by the European Space Agency. By the mid-2030s, there may be dozens thanks to the rise of megaconstellations in orbit. So far, space debris hasn't injured anybody--in the air or on the ground. But multiple close calls have been reported in recent years.

AI is guzzling energy for slop content - could it be reimagined to help the climate? Some experts think AI could be used to lower, rather than raise, planet-heating emissions - others aren't so convinced A rtificial intelligence is often associated with ludicrous amounts of electricity, and therefore planet-heating emissions, expended to create nonsensical or misleading slop that is of meagre value to humanity. Some AI advocates at a major UN climate summit are posing an alternative view, though - what if AI could help us solve, rather than worsen, the climate crisis? The "AI for good" argument has been made repeatedly at the Cop30 talks in Belém, Brazil, with supporters arguing AI can be used to lower, rather than raise, emissions through a series of efficiencies that can spread through areas of our lives such as food, transport and energy that cause much of the pollution dangerously heating our planet. Last week, a coalition of groups, UN bodies and the Brazilian government unveiled the AI Climate Institute, a new global initiative aimed at fostering AI "as a tool of empowerment" in developing countries to help them tackle environmental problems.

Simpson witness looks VERY different 30 years after legendary murder trial... see him now Most parents try to get them over and done with as soon as possible - but woke scientists now claim that nappy changes should be used as an opportunity to teach babies consent. Dr Nicole Downs and Dr Katherine Bussey, lecturers in Early Childhood at Deakin University in Australia, maintain that parents should not wait until their kids are teenagers to talk about appropriate touching. Instead, consent should be a'normal, everyday part of life' that teaches babies what is acceptable when it comes to their bodies. Parents should take their children's views into account, according to the pair - even when it comes to dealing with a dreaded nappy disaster.

The UN Security Council is expected to vote on a draft resolution backing Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza. The text, submitted by the US, would give a mandate for the deployment of an International Stabilization Force (ISF) and to set up transitional governance there. The US says multiple unnamed countries have offered to contribute to the ISF, though it is unclear whether it would be required to ensure Hamas disarms or function as a peacekeeping force. Its formation is a central plank of Trump's 20-point plan which last month brought a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in their two-year war. The draft also raises the possibility of a Palestinian state - something Israel strongly opposes.

Digital Dilemma Can AI predict famine? Aid cuts and restricted access to conflict zones have made monitoring hunger risks more challenging than ever for humanitarian organisations. Al Jazeera's Linh Nguyen looks at whether AI can help them to predict famine before it hits. What does the US's AI roadmap entail?

Students often report difficulties in accessing day-to-day academic information, which is usually spread across numerous institutional documents and websites. This fragmentation results in a lack of clarity and causes confusion about routine university information. This project proposes the development of a chatbot using Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to simplify access to such information. Several GenAI models were tested and evaluated based on quality metrics and the LLM-as-a-Judge approach. Among them, Gemini 2.0 Flash stood out for its quality and speed, and Gemma 3n for its good performance and open-source nature.

Representing the temporal evolution of legal norms is a critical challenge for automated processing. While foundational frameworks exist, they lack a formal pattern for granular, component-level versioning, hindering the deterministic point-in-time reconstruction of legal texts required by reliable AI applications. This paper proposes a structured, temporal modeling pattern grounded in the LRMoo ontology. Our approach models a norm's evolution as a diachronic chain of versioned F1 Works, distinguishing between language-agnostic Temporal Versions (TV)-each being a distinct Work-and their monolingual Language Versions (LV), modeled as F2 Expressions. The legislative amendment process is formalized through event-centric modeling, allowing changes to be traced precisely. Using the Brazilian Constitution as a case study, we demonstrate that our architecture enables the exact reconstruction of any part of a legal text as it existed on a specific date. This provides a verifiable semantic backbone for legal knowledge graphs, offering a deterministic foundation for trustworthy legal AI.
