After a U.S. airstrike kills Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Iraq, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tells'Fox & amp; Friends' that President Trump's decision was necessary to deter further aggression. The U.N. special rapporteur on extrajudicial killing on Friday said the President Trump-approved drone strike against Qassem Soleimani, Iran's top general, violated international human rights law. In a lengthy Twitter thread, Agnès Callamard said that "outside the context of active hostilities, the use of drones or other means for targeted killing is almost never likely to be legal," adding that the U.S. would need to prove the person targeted constituted an imminent threat to others. She also took issue with the justification for using drones in another country on the basis of self-defense. "Under customary international law States can take military action if the threatened attack is imminent, no other means would deflect it, and the action is proportionate," she wrote.

Computers of the future could collect, store or delete your thoughts without your knowledge, experts claim. In a new study a pair of bioethicists claim that'neurotechnology' that links up to the brain could become so advanced and widespread that it is targeted by hackers. This will give intruders unauthorised access to the mind, allowing them to eavesdrop on thoughts and even delete them. Computers of the future could steal or even delete your thoughts, experts have claimed. The authors explain that as'neurotechnology' improves and becomes commonplace, there is a risk that the technology could be hacked.
