Murray says he's deeply honoured to be appointed to the brief and continue Wes Streeting's brilliant work on such a critical mission, but who is he, and what issues will he face in his in tray?

Prisoner swap goes ahead as Kyiv mourns 24 killed in Russian strike on flats

BBC News

Russia and Ukraine exchanged 205 prisoners of war on Friday, hours after rescue workers ended their search of a destroyed block of flats in Kyiv in which 24 people were killed, including three girls. Most of the Ukrainian prisoners had been held since 2022, said President Zelensky. The swap was part of a short-lived ceasefire ending this week with the launch of massive Russian strikes across Ukraine, including a missile attack that reduced 18 flats to rubble. Among the victims was 12-year-old Lyubava Yakovleva, whose father was killed during the war. Meanwhile, Russian officials said four people, including a child, were killed when Ukrainian drones hit the city of Ryazan, south-east of Moscow.


The Download: China's AI drama factory and the WHO's missing health targets

MIT Technology Review

Plus: as their trial goes to the jury, Musk and Altman face lying accusations. China's short drama industry is fueled by bite-sized, melodramatic, and smutty shows built for smartphone scrolling. Now, many are being made entirely with AI: no actors, camera operators, cinematographers, or CGI specialists required. An average of 470 AI-generated short dramas were released every day in January. Production timelines have shrunk from months to weeks, while costs have dropped by up to 90%. Storytelling is also increasingly driven by performance data.


The PC hardware slump is real. So is the reason to keep caring

PCWorld

PCWorld reports a significant decline in PC hardware sales, with major motherboard vendors like Asus and ASRock experiencing drops up to 37% in sales projections. Despite current market challenges, future innovations like PCIe 8.0 specification and AMD's FSR 4 support for older graphics cards suggest continued technological advancement. The analysis questions whether declining sales indicate long-term reduced interest in PC building or temporary market conditions affecting the industry.


'I didn't want to be the guinea pig': inside tech's AI-fueled manager purge

The Guardian

Some critics say the increasing use of AI could result in'asynchronous, agent-driven management'. Some critics say the increasing use of AI could result in'asynchronous, agent-driven management'. 'I didn't want to be the guinea pig': inside tech's AI-fueled manager purge As tech companies pour billions into artificial intelligence bets and slash their workforces, middle managers are squarely in the crosshairs. A trend is emerging: when tech CEOs announce that AI is making it possible to do more with fewer workers, they promise to flatten their structures by cutting away what they call unnecessary management layers and bureaucracy. Just last week, the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase laid off 14% of its workforce while gesturing to the thrill of AI-fueled, minimal-management efficiency.


AI is still waiting for its VisiCalc moment

PCWorld

PCWorld explores how AI still lacks a transformative "killer app" like VisiCalc was for early personal computers, despite recent advances like Anthropic's Claude for Small Business. While new AI tools integrate with platforms like QuickBooks and PayPal for business tasks, public skepticism remains high due to reliability concerns and unpredictable AI behavior. The industry continues searching for universally valuable AI applications beyond specialized uses, as current solutions haven't achieved the widespread adoption that would make AI truly indispensable. The arrival of Claude for Small Business earlier this week marked an interesting moment-and a savvy strategic move-for Anthropic. Rather than saddling web browsers with more AI slop or trying to slather AI onto perfectly good user interfaces that don't need improving, Anthropic is attempting something both less flashy and potentially more fruitful: finding a practical, agentic AI-powered application for everyday business owners looking to make ends meet. The bag of tricks included in Claude for Small Business is somewhat predictable, running the gamut from "ready-to-run" agentic workflows to connectors for PayPal, QuickBooks, HubSpot, Canva, DocuSign, and more. With these tools, business owners can use Claude to help to plan their payrolls, reconcile their books, analyze their cash flow, spin up promotional campaigns, and so forth.

Every spring in the Dutch city of Utrecht, thousands of fish attempt to migrate through the city's canals to reach spawning grounds, but locked flood gates stay shut for long stretches to manage water levels. So the city came up with a weirdly charming solution: a fish doorbell. The site, called Visdeurbel --or Fish Doorbell--lets anyone in the world help the fish out.
