'Every TV station in the country wants one, but they can't be limited to flying in the middle of nowhere because there's no news in the middle of nowhere,' said Jim Williams, a former head of the FAA's drone office who now advises the industry for Dentons, an international law firm.

If there was ever something worthy of being called a chopper, this crazy contraption is truly it. The radio-controlled helicopter not only has rotary blades, but it also has a chainsaw attached to it. The three friends from Finland who made it have nicknamed the invention their'killer drone', and used the test flight to hack at trees, icicles and snowmen.

U.S. President Barack Obama speaks during a conference at Buenos Aires' Town Hall, March 23, 2016. WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama acknowledged Friday that "civilians were killed that shouldn't have been" in past U.S. drone strikes, but said the administration is now "very cautious" about striking where women or children are present. Obama was asked at a news conference about an increase in the number of people targeted in drone strikes against extremists in Libya, Syria, Somalia and elsewhere. "In the past, there was legitimate criticism that the legal architecture around the use of drone strikes wasn't as precise as it should have been," Obama said.

For some, drones are the greatest weapon ever to be developed by the CIA; for others, they present a constant, deadly and terrifying threat. I thought it was the coolest damn thing in the world.

US officials reportedly fear that extremists could steal radioactive material from a medical facility and sold through the "dark web." Cameron said he would deploy counterterrorism police and the UK Border Force while British leaders hold a Cobra meeting.
