Did Iran capture a US submarine? Iraq has closed some border crossings with Iran while investigating drone attacks on Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline that it confirms were launched from its territory. The Iraqi government temporarily closed three of its crossings into Iran after drone launch sites were discovered in the country, an Iraqi security source told Al Jazeera on Saturday. He said that Iraq had primarily ordered the closure of the crossings over fears that the perpetrators of attacks could flee to Iran. Hewson also said the al-Tayyib border area of the southeastern province of Maysan had been shut after drone launchers were discovered there, and a search operation was under way.

Did Iran capture a US submarine? Saudi Arabia has temporarily closed its critical East-West oil pipeline, a 1,200km (746-mile) conduit stretching across the Arabian Peninsula, after it was attacked by drones on Friday. The drones were reported to have been launched from Iraq, where an investigation is under way. No group has claimed responsibility for the strikes so far. It is understood that equipment used to operate the pipeline was also hit.

Ukraine faces'toughest winter' since Russia's full-scale invasion, UN official tells BBC Image caption, Efforts are under way to repair Ukraine's power network so people can run heaters and access water during winter Ukraine is facing its toughest winter since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, a top United Nations official told the BBC. Alexander De Croo, head of the UN development agency, said there was a risk of humanitarian catastrophe if Russian attacks cut off access to power and water. Speaking in Ukraine, De Croo - the UN's third most senior official - accused Russia of systematically targeting the country's energy infrastructure. He said there was now a race against the clock to repair the power network before winter sets in and temperatures plummet. Russia and Ukraine have been intensifying aerial attacks in recent months, and both deny deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure.

Saudi Arabia has closed a critical oil pipeline after it was attacked by drones launched from Iraq, as conflict in the Middle East widens. Iraq said it had fired a military commander and launched an investigation after admitting the drone attack on its neighbour's East-West pipeline had originated in one of its provinces bordering Iran. The 1,200km (745 mile) pipeline has helped Saudi Arabia - the world's largest crude oil exporter - bypass the Strait of Hormuz. The incident comes amid a major advance by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, putting more pressure on global oil shipping routes as the US-Iran war stretches into its seventh month. Riyadh on Friday said it had shut the pipeline as a precaution, as satellite images of scorched ground and smoke near the site emerged.

The industry ministry said Friday that it has selected 18 regions as green transformation strategy areas. The ministry will support the regions by easing regulations on land use and providing subsidies, aiming to attract companies and investment from Japan and abroad as part of efforts to strengthen the industrial competitiveness of regional economies. Demand for data centers is growing with the spread of generative artificial intelligence, while operating them requires enormous amounts of electricity. The ministry aims to attract large-scale data centers requiring around 1 gigawatt of power to regions rich in decarbonized energy sources to revitalize domestic investment and local industries. The ministry designated nine of the 18 regions as areas for concentrating data centers.

Did Iran capture a US submarine? Saudi Arabia has shut its East-West oil pipeline after a drone attack. Riyadh says the attack originated in Iraq. The pipeline allowed Riyadh to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.

From 25-27 August, UK RAS STEPS members came together at the University of York's Institute for Safe Autonomy for a three-day Micromaze Robot Hackathon. Working in teams, participants were challenged to design, build and program autonomous robots capable of navigating a series of increasingly complex mazes. Each team used a custom Raspberry Pi Pico W robotics platform, designed a laser-cut chassis, integrated motors and sensors, and developed its control software in MicroPython. Participants had access to ultrasonic, infrared and time-of-flight sensors, alongside laser-cutting and 3D-printing facilities. The final challenge considered maze performance, collision avoidance, robot design, code quality, wireless control and any innovative features developed by the teams.
