Its factories in Solihull, Halewood, and Wolverhampton are expected to remain idle until at least Wednesday, as the company continues to assess the damage. JLR is thought to have lost at least £50m so far as a result of the stoppage.

Albania appoints AI bot'minister' to fight corruption in world first Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has put an artificial intelligence-generated "minister" in charge of tackling corruption in his new cabinet. Diella, which means "sun" in Albanian, was appointed on Thursday, with the leader introducing her as a "member of the cabinet who is not present physically" who will ensure that "public tenders will be 100 percent free of corruption". Corruption is a key factor in Albania's bid to join the bloc. Rama's Socialist Party, which recently secured a fourth term in office, has said it can deliver EU membership for Albania in five years, with negotiations concluding by 2027. Lawmakers will soon vote on Rama's new cabinet, but it was unclear whether he would ask for a vote on Diella's virtual post.

The white armoured police van speeds into the eastern Ukrainian town of Bilozerske, a steel cage mounted across its body to protect it from Russian drones. They'd already lost one van, a direct hit from a drone to the front of the vehicle; the cage, and powerful rooftop drone jamming equipment, offer extra protection. But still, it's dangerous being here: the police, known as the White Angels, want to spend as little time in Bilozerske as possible. The small, pretty mining town, just nine miles (14km) from the front line, is slowly being destroyed by Russia's summer offensive. The local hospital and banks have long since closed.

The proposed agreement--which is still under scrutiny by the wary judge--would reportedly grant authors a minimum $3,000 per book.
