At least 30 Palestinians have been killed since dawn across Gaza in Israeli attacks, medical sources have told Al Jazeera, as the besieged and bombarded enclave's decimated health system, overwhelmed by a daily flow of wounded, is forcing doctors to make decisions on who to treat first. In the latest killings on Friday, three people died in an Israeli attack on the Tuffah neighbourhood of eastern Gaza City. Five people were also killed in an Israeli air attack in Jabalia an-Nazla, in northern Gaza. Earlier, an Israeli attack hit tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in al-Mawasi, southern Gaza – previously designated a so-called "safe zone" – igniting a major fire and killing at least five people, including infants. Al-Mawasi has come under repeated, deadly Israeli fire.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the US publication The New York Post that he and United States President Donald Trump are considering a deal that involves Washington buying battlefield-tested Ukrainian drones in exchange for Kyiv purchasing weapons from the US. The US has informed Switzerland of delays to the delivery of Patriot air defence systems, the Swiss Defence Ministry said, adding that Washington wants to prioritise delivery of the systems to Ukraine.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are considering a deal that involves Washington buying battlefield-tested Ukrainian drones in exchange for Kyiv purchasing weapons from the U.S., Zelenskyy said in an interview with the New York Post. Zelenskyy said his latest talks with Trump focused on a deal that would help each country bolster its aerial technology. Ukrainian drones have been able to strike targets as deep as 1,300 kilometers into Russian territory. "The people of America need this technology, and you need to have it in your arsenal," Zelenskyy told the Post in the interview conducted Wednesday. The Ukrainian leader said drones were the key tool that has allowed his country to fight off Russia's invasion for more than three years.

When most people think of AI, the first thing that probably comes to mind isn't superintelligence or the promise of agents to boost productivity, but scams. There've always been fraudsters among us, that small percentage of the population who'll use any means available to swindle others out of their money. The proliferation of advanced and easily accessible generative AI tools in recent years has made such nefarious activity exponentially easier. In one memorable incident from early last year, a finance employee at a firm based in Hong Kong wired 25 million to fraudsters after being instructed to do so on a video call with what they believed to be company executives, but were in fact AI-generated deepfakes. And earlier this month, an unknown party used AI to imitate the voice of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on calls that went out to a handful of government officials, including a member of Congress.

Uber has announced a multi-million dollar partnership with U.S. electric vehicle maker Lucid and robotics company Nuro. The three companies plan to deploy at least 20,000 robotaxis "in dozens of markets around the world" over the next six years, starting in a major U.S. city in 2026. The ride-share app announced the news on Thursday, saying that the Lucid vehicles will be owned and operated by Uber or its third-party fleet partners. The vehicles, which will be equipped with technology developed by Nuro, will be available to riders "exclusively" via the Uber platform, as per the company's press release. As a part of the deal, Uber is investing 300 million in Lucid and an undisclosed -- but "significant" -- amount in Nuro, according to the Financial Times.

President Donald Trump has hosted Qatar's prime minister for a private dinner and met with Bahrain's crown prince at the White House as part of a United States effort to address regional issues, including securing a Gaza ceasefire, and promote diplomatic ties with the Gulf region. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, the Qatari prime minister and a member of the country's ruling family, had a private dinner with Trump on Wednesday evening. Before this meal, Trump met with Bahrain Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa in the Oval Office. With little progress to share on the region's most pressing conflicts, including Israel's war on Gaza, Trump was more focused on Wednesday on promoting diplomatic ties as a vehicle for economic growth. Trump has lavished attention on the Gulf, a wealthy region where members of his family have extensive business relationships.

A Russian air raid on a shopping centre and market in Dobropillia, eastern Ukraine, killed at least two people, wounded 22 others and caused widespread damage on Wednesday, the regional governor, Vadym Filashkin, said. Filashkin said the building was struck by a 500kg (1,100-pound) bomb at 5:20pm (14:20 GMT). Russia launched 400 Shahed and decoy drones, as well as one ballistic missile, on Wednesday night, the Ukrainian air force said. The strikes targeted the northeastern city of Kharkiv, the central city of Kryvyi Rih, Vinnytsia in the west, and Odesa in the south. A Ukrainian drone killed one person and injured six others in the Russian city of Belgorod, and injured one person in a village northeast of the city, the regional governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Subway commuters in Shenzhen, China, may soon need to make room for a fleet of chunky, snack-carrying delivery robots. Earlier this week, more than three dozen autonomous, four-wheeled delivery robots boarded and exited active subway trains, and eventually delivered packages to several 7-Eleven convenience stores. Although this demonstration was only a preliminary test and took place during off-peak hours, the company behind the subway-riding robots believes they could soon help stock shelves at around 100 7-Eleven locations. The initiative is part of a broader effort in China and other countries to normalize the presence of delivery robots operating in public spaces.

At least fifteen people have been injured in the latest wave of Russian drone strikes, which this time hit four Ukranian cities. Video shows firefighters battling flames from a large blaze. This comes amid the 50-day deadline from the US for Russia to secure a peace deal.

We're a little over a month away from the expected launch date of the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Fold. Google makes some of the best Android phones on the market, so the latest Pixel launch is a very big deal. As per the norm, the rumor mill has been circulating, with leaks and rumors ramping up as the time draws near. Based on those rumors so far, the Pixel 10 series of phones won't be a massive departure from the Pixel 9. For the most part, it seems like some spec updates and feature shuffling are in order.
