The US military action in Venezuela was the right thing to do morally, Kemi Badenoch has said. The Conservative leader told the BBC that while she did not understand the legal basis for Donald Trump's operation to remove President Nicolás Maduro from the country, he was overseeing a brutal regime and she was glad he's gone. However, she added that the move did raise serious questions about the rules-based order. The UK government has so far avoided criticising the US move or saying whether it breached international law, instead arguing that Maduro was an illegitimate president. However, some Labour MPs and opposition parties including the Liberal Democrats, Green Party and SNP have called on the government to condemn Trump's actions and brand them illegal.

The annual food fight festival ''Els Enfarinats'' has left the Spanish town of Ibi covered in flour and egg shells. The French model and actress has died at the age of 91.

PCWorld reports that AMD unveiled the Ryzen AI Halo, a powerful mini PC developer platform designed for running large AI models locally. The device features AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ processor with 128GB of unified memory, multiple operating system support, and advanced ROCm software for AI development. Expected to launch in the second quarter of this year, the Ryzen AI Halo represents AMD's strategic push into AI development tools. AMD may not be selling PCs, but it's providing a reference design to AI developers based on its Ryzen AI Max+ processor. Known as the Ryzan AI Halo, the small PC is an officially an AI developer platform capable of running models with up to 200 billion parameters locally, according to AMD chief executive Lisa Su, who introduced the device in her opening keynote for the CES 2026 show here in Las Vegas. Inside is 128GB of unified memory, Su said. It's not necessarily a Windows device; Su said that it will run "multiple operating systems natively," as well as open-source development tools and hundreds of AI models. It wil ship with the most advanced version of AMD's ROCm software. "For all of you who are wondering, Halo is launching in the second quarter of this year, and we can't wait for folks to get their hands on them," Su said.

Agibot's humanoid robots can give directions and learn your TikTok dances Bipedal robots are having a moment at CES 2026. For better or worse, CES 2026 is already shaping up to be a big year for humanoid robots. Chinese company Agibot showed up with two: the roughly human-sized A2 and the slightly smaller X2, both of which were displaying their surprisingly impressive dancing abilities. We watched both robots walk around, wave at passersby and show off their best moves. The larger A2 mostly kept its legs still and danced mainly with its arms.

Las Vegas might not have invented the buffet, but it did perfect it. Instead, it revealed it is adding food (and calorie) tracking to its Connect app . It combines AI image recognition with a rich food database, so you can monitor your calorie and nutrient intake without leaving the app -- and even log some food through its watches. The food tracking works similarly to existing apps like MyFitnessPal, Noom, LifeSum and many others. Still, Garmin hopes to make its companion app the best place for tracking nutrition without having to leave its app - and tying it into your other fitness goals. This makes sense in a few ways.

Nvidia unveils'reasoning' AI technology for self-driving cars Nvidia boss Jensen Huang on Monday announced Alpamayo, a tech platform the company says will help self-driving cars think like humans. Alpamayo brings reasoning to autonomous vehicles, allowing them to think through rare scenarios, drive safely in complex environments, and explain their driving decisions, Huang said on stage at the annual CES technology conference in Las Vegas. Huang also said Nvidia has begun producing a driverless car powered by its technology, the Mercedes-Benz CLA, in partnership with the German automaker. The vehicle will be released in the US in the coming months before being rolled out in Europe and Asia. Wearing his trademark black leather jacket, Huang told an audience of hundreds that the project has taught Nvidia an enormous amount about how to help partners build robotic systems. Analysts say the announcement reinforces Nvidia's leadership in integrating AI hardware and software, deepening its push into physical AI.

AMD is using CES 2026 as a launch vehicle to add several of its popular Ryzen AI Max+ and Ryzen 9000 X3D processors to its stack, but the real story might be the performance improvements AMD is claiming as part of its updated ROCm software instead. AMD is adding two processors to its Ryzen AI Max+ series: the Ryzen AI Max+ 392, and the Ryzen AI Max+ 388. It is also tucking the Ryzen 7 9850X3D inside its matrix of Ryzen 9000 X3D gaming processors, hopefully adding a more affordable alternative.

AMD's Ryzen AI 400 processors play it safe, but add desktops too AMD is launching the Ryzen AI 400 at CES 2026 as the next chip in the company's CPU roadmap, with what appears to be a similar goal as the current Ryzen AI 300: Aim high on CPU performance, but with sufficient AI TOPS and battery life to attract mainstream laptop buyers, too. AMD said that the Ryzen AI 400 chips will power both Copilot+ laptops as well as "socketed desktops," bringing their AI capabilities to desktop PCs as well. AMD also announced "Pro" configurations of most of the chips, designed to power enterprise PCs. AMD executives didn't refer to the AI 400 by its expected codename, Gorgon Point, but the chip's specs matched up with a leak inadvertently published last year: up to 12 cores and 24 threads using the Zen 5 architecture, with a boost clock that can hit 5.2GHz.
