Drop-off fees at the UK's major airports have risen by a third on average since last summer, new analysis has found. The RAC looked at the cost of pulling up at the closest point to terminals at the 20 busiest airports - 16 had put up their fees since last year. Two London airports, Gatwick and Stansted, topped the price table at £10. Trade body Airports UK said free drop-offs were available and fees were part of airports' business models and climate change objectives . London Gatwick's is the highest farewell fee, charging £10 for 10 minutes on the forecourt outside either of its terminals. At Stansted, £10 buys a more generous 15 minutes, at Express Set Down outside departures.

Ukrainian drones have hit several retail warehouses belonging to Russia's biggest online retailer, Wildberries, in a matter of days, dealing a blow to a large number of small and medium-sized businesses. After months of drone attacks on oil depots and refineries, Kyiv says it is now targeting logistics hubs used by Russians to buy military equipment, and disrupting supplies to the Russian army. But it has also frustrated hundreds of Russian sellers who depend on online marketplaces for their livelihoods, making the war feel closer to home after almost four and a half years. I am a mother of a disabled child, I've built the business myself, one woman complained on an expletive-laden social media post that went viral. I've lost 1m roubles (£9,500; $12,700)... We're already getting screwed over from every direction as it is.

Image caption, Google and its paranet company Alphabet have spent huge amounts on AI. Google parent Alphabet saw its business continue to grow in recent months, yet growing spending on artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure put its leftover cash into negative territory. The company's free cash flow, the cash it maintained after paying for operations and investments, came in at negative $5.9bn (£4.3bn) for the first time in at least a decade, according to its past financial records. Alphabet's spending on AI is now expected to hit as much as $205bn this year, an increase from $190bn, as major tech companies race to build around a new wave of the technology. Meanwhile, Alphabet's combined quarterly revenue hit $119.8bn, up 23% compared with the same time last year. But the company's stock fell 4% in after hours trading.

Tesla reported its second-quarter earnings on Wednesday, disclosing far lower profits than expected. The company's already beleaguered stock, which had fallen about 14% this year to date, dipped further following the earnings report. Elon Musk's automaker, once the pinnacle of his tech empire, has taken a back seat to SpaceX. Musk's rocket and AI company held the largest stock market debut in history last month, turning the richest man on Earth into the world's first trillionaire, though his net worth has since fallen from its peak. Tesla revealed earnings of 31 cents per share, a measurement of profits divided by the number of outstanding shares, less than the 51 cents per share Wall Street predicted.

Google's parent company, Alphabet, reported double-digit revenue growth for its second-quarter earnings on Wednesday. This is the tech giant's 12th consecutive quarter of massive revenue gains. The better-than-expected results come as investors evaluate how Alphabet's huge spending on AI has affected its bottom line and what its long-term plans are to sustain those enormous investments. The company revised its yearly capital expenditure forecast to $200bn, with quarterly spending growing 100% year over year. Alphabet is already one of the top five most valuable companies in the world, worth about $4.2tn.

What is Iran's Pickaxe Mountain? The United States has launched a 12th continuous night of strikes against targets in Iran, as Tehran threatened to launch more of its own attacks across the Gulf region, warning that "no infrastructure will be safe" unless its own security is guaranteed. US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Wednesday that it had launched the strikes "to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting regional waters". Iran has said that strikes in the Gulf will not stop if the US continues to attack and threaten Iran. Iran's chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf delivered the message in a post on X Wednesday, after US President Donald Trump threatened to attack more Iranian power plants and bridges.
