Fox News contributor Dr. Marc Siegel joins'Fox News Live' to discuss the FDA approving a new Alzheimer treatment drug and the FDA banning bromide vegetable oils. New details have emerged about how Alzheimer's disease affects the brain. Researchers led by the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle and University of Washington Medicine have identified cellular changes in the brains of people with the disease -- and a timeline of when they occur. "Instead of looking at AD just through the usual lens of plaques and tangles, we focused on how specific cell types were changed in each phase," study author Dr. Kyle Travaglini, Ph.D., a scientist at Allen Institute, told Fox News Digital via email. ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE COULD BE SLOWED BY BOOSTING A CERTAIN PROTEIN IN THE BRAIN, RESEARCHERS SAY "We identified two main phases in AD by arranging donors along a continuous disease trajectory -- a slow, early phase with low levels of pathology and no cognitive decline, followed by a later phase where there's a huge buildup of pathology and cognitive decline."

A "cocaine addicted" police officer who was found to be stealing drugs from an evidence store after he accidentally dropped a bag of white powder at his daughter's school has been jailed. Andrew Talbot, at the time a Greater Manchester Police detective, had taken just under 4kg (9lb) of cocaine worth almost 400,000 from police property rooms between 2018 and 2020. He also used the force's computer systems to find a drug dealer to help him sell the drugs on the streets of Manchester. The 54-year-old was found guilty of supplying the drug and misconduct in public office and sentenced to 19 years in jail at Liverpool Crown Court.GMPThe detective stole drugs from Greater Manchester's Police evidence rooms Sentencing him on Friday, Judge Neil Flewitt KC said Talbot had deceived colleagues to put a "significant" quantity of cocaine back into circulation as a result of his "addiction and greed". The investigation into Talbot by GMP's anti-corruption unit began in February 2020 after he dropped a small bag of cocaine outside his daughter's primary school.

The US government's road safety agency has opened an investigation into 2.4m Tesla vehicles with the automaker's Full Self-Driving software after four reported collisions, including a fatal crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on Friday said it was opening the preliminary evaluation after four reports of crashes where Full Self-Driving was engaged during reduced roadway visibility like sun glare, fog or airborne dust. In one crash "the Tesla vehicle fatally struck a pedestrian. One additional crash in these conditions involved a reported injury," NHTSA said. The investigation covers 2016-2024 Model S and X vehicles with the optional system as well as 2017-2024 Model 3, 2020-2024 Model Y, and 2023-2024 Cybertruck vehicles.

A language arts teacher has shared the bizarre conspiracy theories her sixth grade students believe in and what fostered that beliefs. The teacher, who goes by the name Ms Alexanderr, said was amazed by her students' ideas and wanted to compile a list of the top five most she felt were the most bizarre. While the teacher said she wasn't surprised by one conspiracy theory that birds aren't real, she was shocked and couldn't understand others. Among them was the theory that Bill Nye the science guy is a Russian spy while another claimed Michael Jackson was still alive. The pop-star conspiracy was particularly perplexing, because her students were born after he died in 2009.

When Hurricane Helene and Milton hit the Southeast US, they left a trail of devastation in their wake. Roads, homes, and chunks of towns were swept away by torrential floods. Thousands of residents were left without homes and forced to take refuge in community centers which were cut off from access to critical supplies and resources. One of those shelters, a senior center in Marion, North Carolina, has received a lifeline from an unlikely source. For a little over a week, a white, buzzing autonomous drone operated by Wing has been collecting prescription drugs, baby formula, and other critical resources from a nearby Walmart supercenter and airdropping them to the senior center.

AI has been used to defraud people through everything from calling voters to faking celebrity giveaways. Now, the US Treasury Department claims machine learning AI has played a critical part in its enhanced fraud detection processes over the past year -- if a broken clock can be right twice a day, maybe AI can do something good one time? In a new release, the Treasury states it prevented and recovered "fraud and improper payments" worth over 4 billion over the last fiscal year (October 2023 to September 2024). This number represents a tremendous increase from the previous year, which reached just 652.7 million. One-fourth of the 4 billion apparently comes from recovery by "expediting the identification of Treasury check fraud with machine learning AI." Again, does it feel a bit like making a deal with the devil?

Hamas on Friday is admitting to suffering "very painful and distressing" losses following the killing of its leader Yahya Sinwar as the Israeli military has released new drone video capturing the final moments of the terrorist's life. Footage taken of a wounded Sinwar shows him throwing a wooden board at a drone that was surveying damage inside of a building that the Israel Defense Forces targeted in Rafah, according to IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari. Sinwar was later found dead with a gun and nearly 11,000 in his possession, he added. "Yes it's very painful and distressing to lose beloved people, especially extraordinary leaders like ours, but what we are sure of is that we are eventually victorious; this is the outcome for all people who fought for their liberty," senior Hamas official Basem Naim said Friday. "It seems that Israel believes that killing our leaders means the end of our movement and the struggle of the Palestinian people. They can believe what they want, and this is not the first time they said that," he continued.

Artificial General Intelligence--machines that can learn and perform any cognitive task that a human can--has long been relegated to the realm of science fiction. But recent developments show that AGI is no longer a distant speculation; it's an impending reality that demands our immediate attention. On Sept. 17, during a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing titled "Oversight of AI: Insiders' Perspectives," whistleblowers from leading AI companies sounded the alarm on the rapid advancement toward AGI and the glaring lack of oversight. Helen Toner, a former board member of OpenAI and director of strategy at Georgetown University's Center for Security and Emerging Technology, testified that, "The biggest disconnect that I see between AI insider perspectives and public perceptions of AI companies is when it comes to the idea of artificial general intelligence." She continued that leading AI companies such as OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic are "treating building AGI as an entirely serious goal."

Less than a month before the presidential election, Elon Musk has made himself a near-constant presence in the race. On social media, he posts AI-generated images attacking Kamala Harris. The billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX has emerged as a unique influence on the campaign in ways that set him apart from even the most politically active billionaires and tech elite. He is all at once a vocal Trump surrogate, campaign mega-donor, informal policy adviser, media influencer and prolific source of online disinformation. At the same time, he is the world's richest man and the owner of one of the United States' most influential social networks, while also operating as a government defense contractor and wielding power over critical satellite communications infrastructure.

Ukrainian troops are locked in a bitter battle for the town of Toretsk in the eastern region of Donetsk, which Russian troops entered last Friday. A spokesperson for Luhansk Technical University said Russian troops were demolishing the town as they advanced. "They erase the city with artillery. We have already seen it in other towns of Donbas. They are trying to find weak points in our defence with such small strikes," Anastasia Bobovnikova said.
