Self-described'genocidal racist monster' jailed after BBC investigation A former tax worker who described himself as the ultimate genocidal racist monster has been jailed for inciting hatred online after he was exposed by a BBC investigation. Thomas Webster was sacked by HMRC and investigated by police after comments he made to an undercover journalist in the BBC programme'Unmasked: Extreme Far Right'. Webster, 29, from Lapworth, Warwickshire, admitted 10 counts of stirring up racial hatred online, including ones calling for the killing and extinction of his racial enemies. Webster also admitted to stirring up religious hatred and another count of stirring up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation. He was sentenced to two years at Warwick Crown Court.

Kyiv is suffering more daily air raid alerts than at any time since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, according to BBC Verify analysis of government figures. Most air attacks used to come at night but Russia's new tactic of striking Ukraine's capital during the day is causing huge disruption to schools and businesses. The round the clock attacks have forced people to head for shelter as many as 13 times a day, with air raid alerts lasting from a few minutes to nearly four and a half hours. Residents in Kyiv are struggling to adapt to this new reality, adding to existing stress and anxiety.

As summer temperatures in Europe smashed records this summer and many politicians shifted to holiday mode, Russia remained focused on its war. Not only did its military attacks across Ukraine intensify last month, becoming ever more deadly for civilians, Russia also appears to have escalated its sabotage campaign across Europe. This time, military and defence sector sites were the prime target. A full month after drones packed with explosives were found at Leipzig's airport, used by Ukraine to transport military goods, Germany's interior minister has declared that Russia is responsible. Russia's President Vladimir Putin is demanding proof, as always, and his officials call the accusation absurd.

AI data centres are booming in Australia - but at what cost? The sheer size and noise of data centres are what people tend to notice first. Some say they sound like a jet plane about to take off, others complain of a high-pitched whine. When Lucy* puts her child to bed, she hears a constant humming. I'll hear it and think, 'What is that?

Image caption, As beautiful as it is complex - a male fly's brain Scientists have managed to compare the fine detail of the brains of male and female flies for the first time, identifying differences they say explain male aggression, courtship and their singing of love songs. The scientists in Cambridge mapped all 124m connections of nerve cells in a male fly's brain, having done the same for a female fly two years ago. The team are clear that the research won't explain differences between men and women because our behaviour is far more complex. But the research could help scientists better understand human behaviour and conditions in which genetic differences affect brain wiring, such as autism and schizophrenia. Prof Gregory Jefferis, of the Medical Research Council's Laboratory of Molecular Biology and University of Cambridge, who co-led the research, told BBC News that the breakthrough was a really important new avenue in neuroscience, likening it to the invention of a powerful new telescope in increasing our understanding of the Universe.

EU and Nato vow to step up pressure on Russia after'new escalation' in Germany The heads of Nato and the European Commission have warned that Russia is growing increasingly reckless and vowed to respond to a new normal. Leipzig marks a new escalation on European Union soil directly attributed to Russia, said Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, a day after Germany blamed Russia for a failed drone attack last month on Leipzig airport. We have to step up and that means being ready to respond to Russia's recklessness faster and better, von der Leyen said. Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte said the whole alliance, which includes the US, stood in full solidarity with Germany. Russia has rejected German accusations that a drone carrying explosives deliberately targeted a Ukrainian cargo plane on 4 August.

Will self-flying planes transform the skies? Image caption, Pyka's crop dusters are used in the US and Brazil Over an alfalfa field in California's San Joaquin Valley, a small crop-spraying plane is flying scarily low to the ground. There's little risk to humans though, as the plane is pilot-free. We can actually go lower than a human pilot can, says Russ Marotzke, as the aircraft skims over the crop. Flying lower means less spray drift and therefore less chemicals are needed than in conventional manned crop-dusting, he says.

'We'll find way to save Jodrell Bank,' Burnham says Prime Minister Andy Burnham has vowed to save the UK's largest telescope at the Jodrell Bank Observatory. The Lovell telescope, which has stood in Cheshire since 1957, is the world's third-largest steerable radio telescope. But in July this year, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) said the site would not be prioritised for further funding after its current agreement ended in March 2028. Burnham said: Every one of my generation went on a school trip to Jodrell Bank, and there is no way that we can see its demise, and it won't happen under my government. UKRI said its decision for the site was the result of a comprehensive, evidence-based prioritisation process.

'Kemi gets Tories battle ready' and'Posh makes some dosh' Image caption, The Daily Mail leads with the Conservative Party shadow cabinet reshuffle, as leader Kemi Badenoch prepares her team for the return to Parliament on Tuesday. Kemi gets Tories battle ready is the paper's take, reporting that the shadow chancellor was sacked amid speculation of early election. Dame Priti Patel was replaced by Tom Tugendhat, it says, after she moved into a new international role for the party. Image caption, The Guardian headlines on what Prime Minister Andy Burnham may say when he addresses the House of Commons for the first time as prime minister and in 16 years from the frontbench. Burnham will pitch the case for public control of utilities being key to growth, according to the paper, as he will argue the cost of everyday services to family budgets is holding back the economy.

As Ukraine hits Russia's refineries, Russia targets Ukraine's petrol pumps Fill up quickly and move on, Mayor Ihor Terekhov warns drivers in Ukraine's second largest city Kharkiv. Two petrol stations in the city in Ukraine's north-east were hit by Russian drones on Monday, which local officials say wounded two people. In another attack on a petrol station outside the city of Kryvyi Rih last week, three people were killed. Russia's campaign of targeting civilian filling stations with drones and missiles began in earnest in April, primarily in regions on the front line, and the attacks are steadily growing more frequent. At the same time, Russia has endured two waves of severe fuel shortages across the country as a result of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries.
