The people of Venezuela have spent years learning resilience in the face of censorship, disinformation, and repression. They now rely on those tools more than ever. In the early morning hours of Saturday, January 3, the roar of bombs dropping from the sky announced the US military attack on Venezuela, waking the sleeping residents of La Carlota, in Caracas, a neighborhood adjacent to the air base that was a target of Operation Absolute Resolve. Marina G.'s first thought, as the floors, walls, and windows of her second-story apartment shook, was that it was an earthquake. Her cat scrambled and hid for hours, while the neighbors' dogs began to bark incessantly.

'Misrepresent reality': AI-altered shooting image surfaces in U.S. Senate Backdropped by posters with images of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, the two U.S. citizens recently shot and killed by federal immigration officers, a resident of Minneapolis mans a corner to keep an eye out for ICE agents near a school where some students were recently arrested in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Thursday. Washington - An AI-manipulated image depicting the moments before immigration agents shot an American nurse spread across across the internet, eventually making its way onto the hallowed floor of the U.S. Senate. Social media platforms are awash with graphic footage from the moment U.S. agents shot and killed 37-year-old intensive care nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Minnesota -- a moment that sparked nationwide outrage. One frame from the grainy footage was digitally altered using artificial intelligence, according to AI experts. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

Could Ukraine hold a presidential election right now? Will Europe use frozen Russian assets to fund war? How can Ukraine rebuild China ties? 'Ukraine is running out of men, money and time' 'Trauma does not define us': Living with loss in wartime Ukraine She pauses, looking up at the photograph fixed to the gravestone. His face bears a striking resemblance to hers.

Russian attacks on Ukraine killed one person and wounded seven others in the Dnipropetrovsk region, according to the country's emergency service. High-rise buildings, homes, shops and cafes were also damaged. Another person was wounded by shelling in the Zaporizhia region, the service said, with a blast also destroying three residential buildings and 12 homes. In the Donetsk region, at least two people were killed, and five more were wounded, in 13 separate Russian attacks across multiple districts, according to Governor Vadym Filashkin. A total of 172 people, including 35 children, were evacuated from the front line, Filashkin said.

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.

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.

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.
