One person has received medical treatment after a passenger's laptop caught fire on an American Airlines flight. The pilot had reported a cabin fire in the back of the airplane to air traffic control, saying the flight attendants are trying to put it out now, according to audio obtained by the BBC's US reporting partner CBS News. I think we have about four to five passengers that were burned by the laptop. The laptop is contained about mid-aircraft. One passenger received medical attention on site and was released after American Airlines Flight 2398 - coming from Atlanta, Georgia - landed at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in Texas on Friday.

Generative AI-powered market models can help enterprises automate commercial decisions. Each day, an airline transports tens of thousands of passengers on hundreds of flights. Often these are not straightforward point-to-point routes, with passengers requiring multiple connections. The airline can consider potentially hundreds of variables to price each of these journeys: demand, season, time of day, current events, global markets, and competitor airline activity to name just a few. It is a nuanced process that must constantly adapt to the goings on in the wider world. Generative AI-powered market models are emerging as a means of handling complex tasks like this in real time.

Railway services were plunged into chaos after a train derailed in Essex. The Greater Anglia service from Southend Victoria to London Liverpool Street came off the tracks in Wickford at 14:12 BST on Friday, leading to all trips being cancelled . About 45 passengers were on board the commuter-line train but nobody was injured and it remained upright, according to investigators. It happened less than 24 hours after two passengers were seriously injured in a separate derailment in East Sussex . 'The train swung wildly,' says passenger on board derailed service Network Rail has warned passengers that major disruption will continue until at least Saturday, including for those going to Southminster and Braintree.

Online ride-hailing platforms aim to deliver efficient mobility-on-demand services, often facing challenges in balancing dynamic and spatially heterogeneous supply and demand. Existing methods typically fall into two categories: reinforcement learning (RL) approaches, which suffer from data inefficiency, oversimplified modeling of real-world dynamics, and difficulty enforcing operational constraints; or decomposed online optimization methods, which rely on manually designed highlevel objectives that lack awareness of low-level routing dynamics. To address this issue, we propose a novel hybrid framework that integrates large language model (LLM) with mathematical optimization in a dynamic hierarchical system: (1) it is training-free, removing the need for large-scale interaction data as in RL, and (2) it leverages LLM to bridge cognitive limitations caused by problem decomposition by adaptively generating high-level objectives. Within this framework, LLM serves as a meta-optimizer, producing semantic heuristics that guide a low-level optimizer responsible for constraint enforcement and real-time decision execution. These heuristics are refined through a closed-loop evolutionary process, driven by harmony search, which iteratively adapts the LLM prompts based on feasibility and performance feedback from the optimization layer. Extensive experiments based on scenarios derived from both the New York and Chicago taxi datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, achieving an average improvement of 16% compared to state-of-the-art baselines.

Protesters clashed with police forces during a demonstration against the upcoming G7 summit in Geneva. Tear gas and a water cannon were deployed to disperse the large crowd after protesters smashed windows and set a car on fire. What needs to be understood is the message, the basic message regarding all these countries that oppress us through money and power, said one protester who was disappointed to see the protest turn violent. The G7 summit starts on 15 June in Évian-les-Bains and will bring together the leaders of Britain, France, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States and the European Union. Pope Leo XIV says Barcelona's iconic Sagrada Família is a masterpiece of stones, colours and light during his visit to Spain.
