Mysterious drones have been spotted at night at airports across Europe. How worried should we be? First comes the warning, that disembodied voice over the tannoy: Your attention please. Please move to the shelter on the minus second floor. Then comes the mosquito-like whine of the incoming Russian drones, massing in their hundreds just above the clouds.

Is Trump losing patience with Putin? Will sanctions against Russian oil giants hurt Putin?

UK military personnel and equipment are being sent to Belgium to help it bolster its defences after drone incursions on its airspace, suspected of being carried out by Russia.

Belgium's main airport Zavantem was forced to close temporarily on Thursday night after drones were spotted nearby . They were also spotted in other locations, including a military base. Sir Richard said it was not known if the incursions were by Russia, but added it was plausible they had been ordered by Moscow.

Growing up as a teenager in the 80's, I witnessed the birth and rise of personal computers firsthand. The Commodore 64 was the first computer to enter our home, and apart from the myriad games we played endlessly, it also made me experiment with BASIC (and basic) programming. Despite my early engagement with computing, at school I was more interested in languages and media (I also wasn't strong enough in maths). So, when it was time to go to university, I chose to study communication sciences at the Faculty of Social Sciences at KU Leuven, Belgium. During my studies, my interest in computers never faded, especially as it coincided with the rise of the Internet and the start of the World Wide Web--an evolution I eagerly followed.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. A famous prehistoric cave site in Belgium has yielded the oldest multifunctional tool of its kind. This Ice Age "Swiss Army knife" wasn't crafted by early Homo sapiens, however. Instead, the handy accessory came from our evolutionary cousin, the Neanderthal. The findings are detailed in a study published in Scientific Reports.
