The co-pilot accused of trying to hijack a flydubai plane planned to crash the aircraft into Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport or a tower block in the Israeli city, US and Israeli reports suggest. The Omani national was a lone wolf extremist, according to the reports. The United Arab Emirates' attorney-general has said the co-pilot attempted to carry out a terrorist act on flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv last Wednesday. He attacked and wounded the captain with the emergency crash axe kept in the cockpit before being overpowered by passengers. Another crew travelling on the plane was able to land it in Saudi Arabia.

Jewish Greens chair says she could leave party over'Zionism is racism' motion The chair of Jewish Greens Vivien Lichtenstein has told the BBC it is quite possible she will leave the party after Green members adopted a motion declaring Zionism a form of racism. The motion, which has divided senior party figures, also backs a single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine, which includes modern-day Israel. It has been criticised by some Jewish groups and Israel's foreign ministry. Asked by BBC Radio 4's Today programme about her future, Lichtenstein said: I haven't decided yet...It is quite possible that I will leave the party...I'm giving it a little time and to talk with colleagues. Lichtenstein, who is a former chair of her local party, said she had opposed the motion from the first time she heard about it.

Image caption, Sánchez's announcement comes after a series of measures to tackle the housing crisis was defeated in parliament on Friday Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called an early election for 29 November after recent defeats on legislation aimed at addressing the country's housing crisis. Speculation about a snap election had been building over the weekend after parliament rejected two decree laws put forward by the minority government to protect tenants in the rental market. The eviction of an 87-year-old woman from her home after she was unable to afford a sharp rent rise has sparked nationwide protests and increased pressure for housing reform. In a televised address on Monday, Sánchez said that to push reforms through he needed a broader progressive majority that can overcome the resistance of the elites. Housing has not been the only issue causing problems for Sánchez's leadership in recent months, with his party having been caught up in numerous corruption scandals and facing pressure on other cost-of-living issues and immigration.

Why are data centres such a big deal in Scotland? Every time you ask ChatGPT a question, read a Google summary or make an online bank payment, a data centre is working behind the scenes. Now Scotland is part of a global race to build many more of them - on a massive scale. The explosion in artificial intelligence (AI) over the past few years has seen tech firms scrambling to build new hyperscale data centres, including some which would rank among the biggest in the world. Plans are in place to build at least 23 giant AI-powered data centres.

Test engineers stage reality, sometimes by extreme means, to make sure airplanes don't fall apart, children can't open pill bottles, and bears won't break into coolers. Even the best models are little match for the incomprehensibly dynamic complexity of the universe. A run-in with human snacks transformed Kobuk the Destroyer's mother into a "problem bear." A native of the Alaskan wilderness, the grizzly was possibly ruined by a dumpster or a cache of campsite refuse, teaching her that food was simply there for the taking--a rewarding hack for the perennial dinnertime problem. This never ends well, and it was only a matter of time before her taste for free-range chickens got her killed by a rancher. If she was the problem, the two cubs she left behind were recruited to help with the solution. The bear-resistant container was invented to arrest the inadvertent cultivation of problem bears. A new cooler or compost bin cannot be marketed as bear-resistant until bears have been given a fair chance to break into it and fail. The gold standard is set by a consortium called the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee, or I.G.B.C.

Digital infrastructure like data centers and AI computing systems face growing threats from adversaries including Iran, Russia and China. A new defense framework is needed.

For many Okinawa locals, the arrest of a US soldier accused of robbing and killing a woman in a hotel room has reignited decades of frustration over crimes involving US military personnel there. Honestly my first reaction was, 'Not again,' 52-year-old longtime Okinawa resident Ai Sato told the BBC. Nothing has changed since I was a child. How many times are we going to repeat the same thing, create more victims, cause their families to suffer, and ultimately, cause the people of Okinawa to grieve? I know we shouldn't get used to terrible things like this, but because they keep happening, I've stopped being surprised, she told the BBC.
