A US teenager was handcuffed by armed police after an artificial intelligence (AI) system mistakenly said he was carrying a gun - when really he was holding a packet of crisps. Police showed up, like eight cop cars, and then they all came out with guns pointed at me talking about getting on the ground, 16-year-old Baltimore pupil Taki Allen told local outlet WMAR-2 News . Baltimore County Police Department said their officers responded appropriately and proportionally based on the information provided at the time. It said the AI alert was sent to human reviewers who found no threat - but the principal missed this and contacted the school's safety team, who ultimately called the police. But the incident has prompted calls by some for the schools' procedures around the use of such technology to be reviewed.

Why is Israel still in southern Lebanon?

It's the latest in near-daily Israeli violations of the United States-brokered ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah that began in November. It did not provide details on their condition. A security source told Al Jazeera that the drone fired a missile at a car, directly hitting the vehicle and causing it to catch fire.

As the Netherlands gears up for a snap parliamentary election on October 29, less than halfway through parliament's usual four-year term following the collapse of the ruling coalition, the likelihood of another win for the country's far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) is mounting. An outright win is next to impossible. The Netherlands has always had a coalition government formed by a minimum of two parties due to its proportional representation electoral system, under which seats in parliament are awarded to parties in proportion to the number of votes they win. It then partnered with three other far-right parties - the Farmer-Citizen Movement (BBB), New Social Contract (NSC), and the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) - to form a coalition government. But in June, PVV made a dramatic exit from the coalition government over a disagreement on immigration policy.
