Iran war: What is happening on day 19 of US-Israel attacks? Iran has pledged "revenge" after Israeli strikes killed security chief Ali Larijani and commander of Basij paramilitary forces Gholamreza Soleimani, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi saying Tehran's political system remains strong as the war entered its 19th day . Iran launched more attacks on Israel, causing extensive property damage, after an earlier strike killed two people in Ramat Gan. Political tensions are also rising in the United States, as senior counterterrorism official Joe Kent resigned, saying "we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby". Meanwhile, President Donald Trump criticised NATO allies and partners for failing to provide stronger military support in efforts to end Iran's chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz.

'I've applied for 500 jobs in two months since graduating' You have to work 10 times harder to work for a role that 10 years ago you could have got very easily straight out of university, says 22-year-old business management graduate Charlotte Briggs. Within two months she had applied for 500 roles. It's quite upsetting because I've worked really hard for the last three years to achieve a 2:1 just to be rejected for not having experience.

Iran has fired missiles and drones at several Gulf Arab nations, which have sought to intercept them, in a now-daily fallout from the United States-Israel war launched on Iran nearly three weeks ago that has engulfed the Middle East with deaths, destruction, assassinations, and an energy crisis spreading far beyond the region. Early Tuesday, Qatar's Ministry of Defence said its armed forces intercepted a missile attack against the country. The statement came hours after the Kuwaiti army said it was intercepting hostile missile and drone attacks. The UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain have also reported intercepting missiles and drones in recent hours. Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Defense reported the interception and destruction of a drone in the Eastern Region.

A standard pick-up truck is mounted with a launching system for eight Cobra-3120 loitering munitions. TAIPEI - After years of sourcing drones from a wide range of international suppliers, including China, Ukraine has a new entrant supporting its battlefield needs: Taiwan. The self-ruled island has quietly been ramping up exports of domestically produced drones to war-torn Ukraine, underscoring how its homegrown industry has advanced in recent years, evolving from a largely experimental sector into a burgeoning supplier of battlefield-relevant technology. The move, which also helps expand Taiwan's defense-industrial base, has seen the island sell well over 100,000 drones to Ukraine since last year alone, mainly via Poland and the Czech Republic, according to data provided by the Taipei-based Research Institute for Democracy, Society and Emerging Technology (DSET).

Has Trump failed to sell the Iran war to the world? Are US-Israeli attacks against Iran legal? The administration of United States President Donald Trump has said in a court filing that the Pentagon's blacklisting of Anthropic was justified and lawful, opposing the artificial intelligence company's high-stakes lawsuit challenging the decision.

Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrive for a reception marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Sept. 3, 2025. Moscow and Beijing are driving closer collaboration between authoritarian states and such networks help advance repression globally, according to researchers who used artificial intelligence to drill into the activities. The U.S.-based nonprofit Action for Democracy said in a report Wednesday that its researchers built an index to track seven types of cooperation, including on funding, diplomatic activities, propaganda and tech sharing. It found that China and Russia sit at the center of global authoritarian collaboration" and were jointly involved in around half of all recorded activity. The report's authors said that such cooperation generated compound returns because, for example, surveillance infrastructure exported to one regime becomes a template for the next."

Higgs Boson breakthrough was UK triumph, but British physics faces'catastrophic' cuts When the Nobel Prize in Physics was announced in Stockholm in October 2013, the world was watching. Among the names read out was Prof Peter Higgs, the British theorist who, nearly half a century earlier, had predicted the existence of a particle believed to hold the cosmos together - the Higgs boson. The announcement, broadcast live from Sweden, was what many scientists had hoped for since a year earlier, when experiments at CERN had finally confirmed Higgs's theory by discovering the Higgs boson - hailed as one of the biggest discoveries in a generation. At the time Higgs, who has since passed away, said in a statement: I hope this recognition of fundamental science will help raise awareness of the value of blue-sky research. Blue-sky research asks questions to understand the universe, rather than design new products.
