Russia's war death tally spurs European scrutiny on recruitment Ukrainian servicemen prepare before training at an undisclosed location in the country's Donetsk region on Wednesday. The number of Russian soldiers killed in action in the war in Ukraine has jumped in recent weeks, a dynamic that -- if sustained -- could make it hard for the Kremlin to replace troops without some form of mobilization, according to European estimates. In the grim calculus of war, he cited an ambition to raise that number to 50,000 by this summer -- a figure that would roughly double the monthly average calculated by NATO in 2025. The higher lethality is a result of more effective Ukrainian drone operations, with the ratio of killed to wounded skewing recently toward war dead, according to assessments from multiple European governments. With those estimates showing that the number of fatalities has reached the Kremlin's recruitment level, several of the people said the trajectory would make it difficult to replace losses without a mobilization drive.

NVIDIA is still planning to make a'huge' investment in OpenAI, CEO says The comment comes after a report from The Wall Street Journal suggested an earlier deal between the two companies had stalled. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang told reporters that the company will invest a great deal of money in OpenAI's latest funding round, according to, after on Friday reported that the two companies were rethinking a previous $100 billion deal that hasn't progressed beyond the early stages of negotiations. Speaking to reporters in Taipei this weekend, Huang reportedly said it could be the largest investment we've ever made. NVIDIA and OpenAI jointly announced in September that NVIDIA would be investing up to $100 billion in OpenAI to build 10 gigawatts of AI data centers. The companies said then that they were targeting the second half of 2026 for the first phase of the project to go online.

In a recent filing, Elon Musk's aerospace company requested to build an orbital data center that relies on solar power. Elon Musk and his aerospace company have requested to build a network that's 100 times the number of satellites that are currently in orbit. On Friday, SpaceX filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to launch a million satellites meant to create an orbital data center. This isn't the first time we're hearing of Musk's plans to build an orbital data center, as it was mentioned by company insiders following the news that the CEO was reportedly preparing to take SpaceX public . According to the filing spotted by, this data center would run off solar power and deliver computing capacity for artificial intelligence needs .

Elon Musk - the boss of SpaceX as well as Tesla and X - is the world's richest person Elon Musk's SpaceX has applied to launch one million satellites into Earth's orbit to power artificial intelligence (AI). The application claims "orbital data centres" are the most cost and energy-efficient way to meet the growing demand for AI computing power. Traditionally, such centres are large warehouses full of powerful computers which process and store data. Musk's aerospace firm claims processing needs due to the expanding use of AI are already outpacing "terrestrial capabilities". It would increase the number of SpaceX satellites in orbit drastically.

When a graduate found a baby Florida scrub millipede, she put it in a kiddie pool. Then it got busy reproducing. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. While Florida is perhaps best known for its beaches and wetlands, its landscape hosts other notable features: ridges . Millions of years ago, sea levels were higher than they are today, and these elevated areas of land became like islands.

Drone strikes in Ethiopia's Tigray kill one amid fears of renewed conflict One person has been killed and another injured in drone strikes in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region, a senior Tigrayan official and a humanitarian worker said, in another sign of renewed conflict between regional and federal forces. The Tigrayan official on Saturday said the drone strikes hit two Isuzu trucks near Enticho and Gendebta, two places in Tigray about 20km (12 miles) apart. A local humanitarian worker confirmed the strikes had happened. Both asked not to be named, the Reuters news agency reported. It was not immediately clear what the trucks were carrying.

Angeliki Stogia has been selected as the Labour Party candidate for the upcoming Gorton and Denton by-election.
