The Israeli military says a drone launched "from the east" crashed in the southern city of Eilat, causing material damage but no casualties. The drone reportedly fell in the city's hotel zone. Israel has repeatedly conducted its own attacks on Yemen. Following its bombing of Qatar on September 9, Israel intensified its strikes on Yemen, killing dozens. The drone attack in Eilat follows a series of 12 strikes carried out by Israel on Tuesday against Yemen's port of Hodeidah.

As politicians weigh proposals that call for steep cuts to the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health, we spoke with someone who can answer the question more precisely than most. The latest in a long-running National Academies series, it explores the many ways that research innovations become impactful commercial activities. The so-called "tire track report series" dates back to 1995, when the National Research Council's Computer Science and Telecommunications Board produced the report Evolving the High Performance Computing and Communications Initiative to Support the Nation's Information Infrastructure. Can you describe how that effort got started and how it has continued to evolve? Current times are fairly unique, but there has always been this myth in Congress: "Look at Silicon Valley, look at all these tech companies that got started in a garage. Why do we need to fund computer science research? This is a self-sufficient thing."

Every three months, participants in the Metaculus forecasting cup try to predict the future for a prize pot of about $5,000. Metaculus, a forecasting platform, poses questions of geopolitical importance such as " Will Thailand experience a military coup before September 2025?" and " Will Israel strike the Iranian military again before September 2025?" Forecasters estimate the probabilities of the events occurring--a more informative guess than a simple "yes" or "no"--weeks to months in advance, often with remarkable accuracy. Metaculus users correctly predicted the date of the Russian invasion of Ukraine two weeks in advance and put a 90 percent chance of Roe v. Wade being overturned almost two months before it happened. Still, one of the top 10 finishers in the Summer Cup, whose winners were announced Wednesday, was surprising even to the forecasters: an AI. "It's actually kind of mind blowing," says Toby Shevlane, CEO of Mantic, the recently-announced UK-based startup that developed the AI.

Trump's UK visit: What to know What did Jimmy Kimmel say about Charlie Kirk? How tariffs are unraveling India's textile industry Nvidia to become one of Intel's biggest shareholders with new investment Nvidia says it will invest $5bn into Intel, throwing its heft behind the struggling US chip company, but has stopped short of giving Intel a crucial manufacturing deal. Nvidia, which is based in Santa Clara, California, announced the investment on Thursday. TSMC currently manufactures Nvidia's flagship processors, a business that the world's most valuable company could one day extend to Intel. AMD, which competes with Intel for supplying chips to data centres, also stands to lose because of Nvidia's backing of Intel.

Betty Richards, 84, bought a carton of apple and mango juice from the Armthorpe branch of Morrisons as a treat for her best friend of twenty years, Julie Bircumshaw, also 84. The BBC reports that Ms Bircumshaw noticed some'bits of black' around the opening of the 1L carton, but after tasting the juice, thought it was fine to drink. When Ms Richards popped over to see her friend at home in Doncaster a week later, she was told about the discolouration around the nozzle. She was concerned, and decided to take a closer look at the £1.35 carton--which was almost empty.

How is Russia replenishing its military? What is a'coalition of the willing'? How China forgot promises and'debts' to Ukraine How are Europe, the US pulling apart on Ukraine? Ukraine has worsened fuel shortages across Russia in the past week as it has continued to hit Russia's refineries and energy infrastructure with long-range drones while Poland has called for more oil sanctions in the wake of Russia's first drone attack on NATO soil. In the meantime, Russia's creeping advance resulted in the capture of three villages over the past week, and perhaps for the first time, Ukraine's command reacted by dismissing the retreating officers.

Hyabusa2 is already 105.5 million miles on its journey, but new data indicates trouble. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Japan's Hyabusa2 space probe is currently about 105.5 million miles away, en route to its second asteroid rendezvous . However, revised data collected from a global network of observatories now indicates that the space rock designated as 1998 KY26 will look and behave far differently than astronomers previously theorized--and it may prove disastrous for the tiny explorer. In 2010, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) made history when its Hayabusa probe became the first spacecraft to not only land on and launch from an asteroid (Itokawa), but successfully return to Earth with samples .

Beneath gilded portraits and suits of armour in Windsor Castle, 160 guests wined and dined at a lavish banquet to fete US President Donald Trump's unprecedented second state visit to the UK on Wednesday evening. Along with the impeccable table settings, three-course meal and custom cocktail, who was there and, just as importantly, who was seated next to who is carefully planned, since the event is as much about diplomacy as it is about fine dining. This year's guest list was conspicuously missing screen stars or celebrity faces, with not even royal perennials like Sir David Beckham or Sir Elton John attending. Instead, the list was mostly royals, tech and finance executives, and politicos from both sides of the Atlantic. From Trump's seat of honour at the centre of the table, next to his host King Charles III, those up and down the table ranged from lesser-known but influential White House players to professional golfers.

The number of planning approvals for new homes in England is unacceptable, the new housing secretary has said, after official data showed permission for building homes fell to a record low during Labour's first year in office. Fewer than 29,000 projects were granted permission by councils in the year ending June 2025 - striking a blow to the government's promise to deliver 1.5 million homes by the next election. Steve Reed, who has taken over from Angela Rayner as housing secretary, said fixing the planning system won't happen overnight. Conservative shadow housing secretary Sir James Cleverly said that Labour had promised to'build, build, build' but their flagship planning reforms clearly aren't working.
