Aerial footage shows flooded cities as storms hit Spain
Aerial footage showed the extend of floods in Spain after a series of storms hit the Iberian Peninsula. Storm Marta hit Spain on Saturday, bringing more rain to the region, as it was still recovering from Storm Leonardo. In Córdoba, drone footage showed flooded olive trees as Spanish farmers warned of the millions of euros worth of damage to crops following the torrential rains and high winds. In the country's southern region of Andalucia, over 11,000 people have been displaced. Nazar Daletskyi's relatives were told he had been killed in 2022, the first year of Russia's full-scale invasion.

Why Don't Norwegians Hate Tesla Like the Rest of Europe Does?
Why Don't Norwegians Hate Tesla Like the Rest of Europe Does? November's Tesla registrations were down in France, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany. Norway, however, is bucking the trend--thanks to a tax incentive system that will soon be rolled back. The slump does not stop. Tesla sales in Europe slumped again in November 2025, confirming a negative trend that has been going on for more than a year.

Hiker stumbles on massive medieval reindeer traps in Norway
The 1,500-year-old site was hidden beneath the dark, damp ice. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. In the fall of 2024, a hiker named Helge Titland was trekking through Aurlandsfjellet, a mountainous region and plateau in Norway and got a little more than just some time with nature. Titland found some strange wooden stakes peaking out of melting snow. He wisely reported it to local archaeologists, but snow returned before the team could investigate.
What's in Elon Musk's bumper 878bn pay package?
Tesla CEO Elon Musk could receive the largest corporate pay package in history worth as much as $878bn if he meets certain performance targets. Here is what this means, and how Musk could become history's first trillionaire. Musk won a Tesla shareholder vote on Thursday, with more than 75 percent in favour, during the company's annual general meeting at the electric carmaker's factory in Austin, Texas. Under this plan, Musk could be given stock worth $1 trillion over the next decade if he hits certain performance targets. However, he would be required to repay some of this to the company - bringing it down to $878bn.

Could a self-monitoring system for criminals replace prisons one day?
Could a self-monitoring system for criminals replace prisons one day? Future Chronicles is our regular speculative look at inventions yet to come. In this latest installment, we journey to 2050, when technology had been developed so that criminals could be monitored at home. "It's no surprise that the first countries to abolish prisons were Scandinavian " In the 2020s, the US was spending an eye-watering $182 billion a year on locking up its citizens. No other country imprisoned as many people or spent as much in doing so.
Generalisation of automatic tumour segmentation in histopathological whole-slide images across multiple cancer types

Deep learning is expected to aid pathologists by automating tasks such as tumour segmentation. We aimed to develop one universal tumour segmentation model for histopathological images and examine its performance in different cancer types. The model was developed using over 20 000 whole-slide images from over 4 000 patients with colorectal, endometrial, lung, or prostate carcinoma. Performance was validated in pre-planned analyses on external cohorts with over 3 000 patients across six cancer types. Exploratory analyses included over 1 500 additional patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Average Dice coefficient was over 80% in all validation cohorts with en bloc resection specimens and in The Cancer Genome Atlas cohorts. No loss of performance was observed when comparing the universal model with models specialised on single cancer types. In conclusion, extensive and rigorous evaluations demonstrate that generic tumour segmentation by a single model is possible across cancer types, patient populations, sample preparations, and slide scanners.

Poland briefly closes airspace as NATO increases presence in the Baltic Sea
Can Ukraine restore its pre-war borders? Is Russia testing NATO with aerial incursions in Europe? Poland has briefly closed part of its airspace southeast of capital Warsaw, citing "unplanned military activity", as Russia launches a new wave of strikes against Ukraine. The deployment on Sunday of Polish and allied aircraft in the country's airspace comes as the transatlantic security bloc NATO announced that it is upgrading its mission in the Baltic Sea in response to drone incursions in Denmark and reported drone sightings in Norway. In the latest incident, the Polish armed forces said it scrambled aircraft to ensure the security of its airspace after Russia launched strikes on Ukraine.

Russia Is Cracking Down on End-to-End Encrypted Calls
WIRED copublished an investigation this week with The Markup and CalMatters showing that dozens of data brokers have been hiding their opt-out and personal-data-deletion tools from Google Search, making it harder for people to find and utilize them. The report prompted US senator Maggie Hassan to demand accountability from the companies. WIRED also took a deep dive looking at what the data-analysis giant Palantir actually does. Reports this week that Russia was likely involved in, or entirely behind, the US Courts records system breach highlight both the stakes of the incident and information that federal investigators seem to still be lacking about what exactly happened. New research is shedding light on the inner workings of the multimillion-dollar gray market for video game cheats.

SOLAQUA: SINTEF Ocean Large Aquaculture Robotics Dataset
Ohrem, Sveinung Johan, Haugaløkken, Bent, Kelasidi, Eleni
--This paper presents a dataset gathered with an underwater robot in a sea-based aquaculture setting. Data was gathered from an operational fish farm and includes data from sensors such as the Waterlinked A50 DVL, the Nortek Nucleus 1000 DVL, Sonardyne Micro Ranger 2 USBL, Sonoptix Mulitbeam Sonar, mono and stereo cameras, and vehicle sensor data such as power usage, IMU, pressure, temperature, and more. Data acquisition is performed during both manual and autonomous traversal of the net pen structure. The collected vision data is of undamaged nets with some fish and marine growth presence, and it is expected that both the research community and the aquaculture industry will benefit greatly from the utilization of the proposed SOLAQUA dataset. Aquaculture is and will be an important contributor to the production of protein and food in the years to come.
Norwegian files complaint after ChatGPT falsely said he had murdered his children
A Norwegian man has filed a complaint against the company behind ChatGPT after the chatbot falsely claimed he had murdered two of his children. Arve Hjalmar Holmen, a self-described "regular person" with no public profile in Norway, asked ChatGPT for information about himself and received a reply claiming he had killed his own sons. Responding to the prompt "Who is Arve Hjalmar Holmen?" ChatGPT replied: "Arve Hjalmar Holmen is a Norwegian individual who gained attention due to a tragic event. He was the father of two young boys, aged seven and 10, who were tragically found dead in a pond near their home in Trondheim, Norway, in December 2020." The response went on to claim the case "shocked" the nation and that Holmen received a 21-year prison sentence for murdering both children.
