'RAF jet crash escape' and'Tories to cut benefits' Image caption, The moment two RAF pilots ejected from a jet is splashed across the front page of the Daily Mirror, which says it is a miracle nobody was killed in the incident. The two pilots were taking part in a training exercise in Anglesey when they were forced to parachute from the plane, which the paper reports then plummeted nose-first into a field and caused a huge fireball. Image caption, Several of the papers lead on the Conservative party's promise to prevent long-term jobless benefit claimants from spending their welfare payments on alcohol, cigarettes and gambling. The Times declares Tories to cut benefits for long-term unemployed, and includes quotes from party leader Kemi Badenoch, who says she plans to stop joblessness being a lifestyle choice for those who can't be bothered. Image caption, The Daily Mail says Badenoch's ruthless crackdown would see people who have been unemployed for more than six months have their Universal Credit cut by 30%.

Meta is making another concession to privacy critics as it tries to get ahead of the ongoing privacy backlash against its AI glasses. Now, the company says it will allow people to opt out of having their "visual data" from the glasses used for AI training. The change means that users can opt of having their camera-based interactions with Meta AI being used to train the company's models. Those images will also not be shown to third-party contractors in other countries. "If you've opted out and you ask your glasses to translate a menu, we'll use your visual data to answer your question and then it's gone," Meta explained.

Two more civilians died last night, says Halia, before her phone connection cuts off. She is trapped in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky, which she says is constantly shelled and cut off from food and water. Three days later she tells me the two who were killed were a husband and wife. They were bringing home a bag of food from the closest neighbouring town of Radensk, 23km (14 miles) away, but were unable to get home before a curfew imposed by Russian occupation authorities. They were then killed by a drone.

'Make women feel seen': Why the Dutch have a new word for labia Can you imagine seeing the words shame lips on your medical notes? The term, which can also be translated as pubic lips, is the Dutch word for a women's body part. But, for some, it's just one of countless examples that are outdated and loaded with stigma. Last month, leading Dutch dictionary Dikke van Dale said it would include a new term for the labia, vulvalippen - in its upcoming online addition - alongside the traditional term schaamlippen. European campaigners have long been calling for a rewrite of terms used to discuss women's bodies, sexuality and health.

Steve Cargil's family has farmed the flat, dry land around Uvalde, a small city in southwest Texas, since 1953. Cargil, 67, had always assumed that one of his three children would eventually take it over, the way he had from his father. But that assumption took a hit one night in 2018 after a violent hailstorm. Cargil and his son, Ryan, had spent months nursing crops of cabbage and onions to harvest. Then a storm rolled through and destroyed them overnight.

Image caption, Sam Altman of OpenAI has become a key figure in the AI technology development. The heads of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Hugging Face have told the UN that the current pace of artificial intelligence (AI) development, and the risks it poses to society, demands international coordination. Altman called for common risk evaluation standards, as did Dario Amodei of Anthropic, a main rival of OpenAI, and Clement Delangue of Hugging Face. Earlier this month, Amodei wrote an essay welcomed by Altman and others calling an AI development slowdown in response to fears about the technology's threat to humanity. However, at the same UN conference, a key technology advisor to US President Donald Trump, rejected the idea any new form of AI regulation.

Lidl must stop selling copycat versions of Birkenstock's famous sandals in the Netherlands, a Dutch court has ruled. The discount supermarket chain faces a fine of €5,000 (£4,200) per day if it fails to comply and must also hand over sales data to Birkenstock, according to the ruling. Lidl must also compensate Birkenstock and pay its legal fees, with the amount to be decided in separate court decisions. Birkenstock said the judgement sent a clear message that copycats must not be allowed to free-ride on [our] creativity and innovation. The BBC has reached out to Lidl for comment.

'I miss old Google': readers tell us how they search the internet in the age of AI G oogle has put artificial intelligence at the front and center of its search bar. The most-visited site on the internet still shows the same list of links to users, but they have to scroll past a summarized response from an AI chatbot, a feature Google calls AI Overviews. The change to what was once the gateway to the rest of the internet has been profound, and the browsing habits of billions of people are shifting.

United States Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Representative Greg Casar of Texas introduced a new bill that would impose sweeping restrictions on the artificial intelligence industry, including banning the development of what is called artificial superintelligence. The legislation, introduced on Wednesday, comes weeks after top AI industry researchers issued dire warnings that the technology could wipe out humanity within the next decade, according to a wave of industry insiders. The legislation would also call for a temporary pause on the development of advanced AI systems until a regulatory body that can oversee and develop safety standards is put in place, as well as establishing a cabinet-level department called the Department of Artificial Intelligence that would oversee the industry. The proposed agency would be tasked with regulating what are called frontier models -- a term referring to the most advanced AI models in development. The agency would ensure the models are not dangerous, and it would be empowered to remove the models from circulation if they do, in fact, become dangerous and supervise their destruction.
