Syrians have begun burying the dozens of people killed in a large-scale drone attack on a military academy in the western city of Homs. Coffins draped in Syrian flags on Friday lined the streets outside the Homs military hospital as a military band played somber music and soldiers saluted. On Thursday, several drones attacked a graduation ceremony in the academy's courtyard, where families had gathered with the new officers. Syria's Ministry of Health said at least 89 people had been killed, including 31 women and five children. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the Syrian conflict, put the toll at above 120.

Google's mission statement is to make the'world's information universally accessible' - but that hasn't stopped it from self-censoring to avoid offending Russia. A new study has shown the search giant's artificial intelligence chatbot, Bard, mostly refuses to answer critical questions about Russian President Vladimir Putin. In fact, it won't answer 90 percent of queries regardless of how offensive or inoffensive they are. One of the two researchers in Switzerland who did the test believe Google is being'pushed' by the Kremlin to censor anything critical about the Russian regime. Google's artificial intelligence chatbot, Bard, mostly refuses to answer critical questions about Russian President Vladimir Putin Mykola Makhortykh, a post-doctoral lecturer at the University of Bern and one of the researchers, told DailyMail.com: 'My personal opinion is that Google might have been pushed by the Russian government to censor some of the results which were critical to the Kremlin similar to how it was done by Yandex.'

News archives offer a rich historical record. But if the reader or the journalist wants to learn about a new topic with a traditional search engine, they must enter a query and begin reading or skimming old articles one-by-one, slowly piecing together an intricate web of people, organizations, events, places, topics, concepts, and social forces that make up "the news." We propose Rookie, which began as an attempt to build a useful tool for journalists. With Rookie, a user's query generates an interactive timeline, a list of important related subjects, and a summary of matching articles -- all displayed together as a collection of interactive linked views. Users click and drag along the timeline to select certain date ranges, automatically regenerating the summary and subject list at interactive speed.

Russia has retaliated by threatening to treat American planes as targets; in a dramatic "Top Gun"-style maneuver on Monday, one of Moscow's jets buzzed within five feet of an American spy plane. None of these encounters involved the Islamic State. The contradiction opens a larger question, national security experts say, of what kind of broader strategy the Trump administration plans once the Islamic State -- now on the defensive -- is defeated in Syria. With each episode, "we own more of the conflict in Syria without articulating a strategy," said Vali Nasr, dean of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. "We are sleepwalking into a much broader military mandate, without saying what we plan to do afterward."
