Zelensky has'questions to answer' about corruption in his government, sacked minister tells BBC To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has questions to answer about corruption in his government, his sacked defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov has told the BBC. Fedorov, a popular minister who modernised the armed forces and pioneered drone warfare, was fired last month after reportedly falling out with the head of Ukraine's armed forces. He told the BBC a money laundering investigation announced last week raised questions about Zelensky's awareness of potential corruption in his inner circle. Fedorov also reiterated that democracy should not be the hostage of Putin - but stopped short of declaring his own political ambitions days after he posted a video calling for elections in Ukraine. Supporters have protested on Kyiv's streets weekly since he was sacked, calling on the president to reinstate him.

Flock has long pretended to be a simple automated license plate reader (ALPR) company, despite overwhelming evidence that its cameras can track a lot more than that. Now there's a report that it has been developing new AI tools that can potentially locate people by how they drive, according to Wired. The software was reportedly called Nightshift and is now going by the name OS Investigate. It draws from a network of cameras in 6,000 communities and logs the movements of drivers in those communities, Wired reports. This could be used, for instance, to find a witness to a crime by analyzing vehicle movements near where a crime occurred.

Flock Has a Powerful New AI Tool for Police. Flock's surveillance cameras have already sparked outrage. WIRED reconstructed its next-generation AI system, already in use by some police, to confirm it goes much further than tracking license plates. Vehicle surveillance giant Flock Safety has told the public for years that its technology "cannot recognize, identify, or track individuals." It has now built a system that does both, an artificial intelligence tool for police that can identify drivers and track vehicles by their patterns of movement alone, WIRED has learned. Drawing on a network of cameras that logs the movements of drivers in more than 6,000 communities, the tool can pick out potential witnesses by how often their cars pass through a neighborhood, or surface a driver's "associates" from the cameras they pass together. Because the system also reaches police case files, 911 dispatch logs, and commercial identity records, those plates can be turned into names, home addresses, and relatives.

Andy Burnham is set to spend his first day working at the northern branch of Downing Street. No 10 North in Manchester will form part of the prime minister's aim to shift power from Whitehall and Westminster to regions across the country. Ministers Lucy Powell and Louise Haigh will also operate regularly from the new site, with up to 300 civil servants expected to join them by the end of next year. On Friday in Manchester Burnham will chair a meeting of the National Economic Council, a cabinet committee first launched in 2008 to respond to economic challenges around the UK. Ahead of that meeting, the PM said: For 40 years, power and resources have been sucked into the centre, and too many communities have felt forgotten, without the attention and investment they deserve.

Summer has arrived, which means its vacation season--and there are plenty of travel tips to be found among the best movies on streaming this May. A bloody ballet battle royale in Budapest in Prime Video's a visit to the picturesque (and definitely not haunted) Dutch forests in Shudder's, or an action-packed trip to Japan courtesy of Netflix's, are just some of the locations sure to give you wanderlust this month. If you fancy something a bit more tropical, then look no further than on Hulu--although director Sam Raimi's twisty survival horror might have you thinking twice before turning on your out-of-office emails. And, if the rising temperatures are already too much, the Antarctic chill of John Carpenter's classic, and its 1950s inspiration,, are both landing on Criterion. Here are WIRED's picks of the best movies to watch right now.

The Met said corruption was the most consistent offence detected, with misconduct related to'abuse of the IT system that rosters shifts by police officers for personal or financial gain'. The Met said corruption was the most consistent offence detected, with misconduct related to'abuse of the IT system that rosters shifts by police officers for personal or financial gain'. Sat 25 Apr 2026 11.34 EDTFirst published on Sat 25 Apr 2026 11.31 EDT The Metropolitan police have launched investigations into hundreds of officers after using an AI tool built by the controversial tech company Palantir to root out rogue cops. The software was deployed by the Met over the course of a week, surveilling staff members using data the force has ready access to, unearthing rule-breaking ranging from work-from-home violations to suspected corruption and even criminal allegations such as rape. The Met said as a result of the software, evidence had been found tying a small number of officers to serious cases of misconduct and criminality, resulting in the arrest of three officers for offences including abuse of authority for sexual purposes, fraud, sexual assault, misconduct in public office and misuse of police systems.

The home secretary has announced a blueprint for reforming what she called the broken policing model in England and Wales. Shabana Mahmood confirmed the shake-up will create a new National Police Service (NPS) to fight the most complex cross-border crime and could also see the number of local forces in England and Wales cut by around two-thirds. She told the House of Commons she also intends to make better use of technology - including the largest-ever rollout of facial recognition. This government's reforms will ensure we have the right policing in the right place, Mahmood said. I set out reforms that are long overdue and define a new model for policing in this country, with local policing that protects our communities and national policing that protects us all.

'British FBI' to take over terror and fraud probes in reforms to police A new national police force is being created to take over counter-terror, fraud, and criminal gang investigations. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said the new National Police Service (NPS), described as a British FBI, would deploy world class talent and state of the art technology to track down and catch dangerous criminals. It will bring the work of existing agencies such as the National Crime Agency and regional organised crime units under the same organisation, buying new technology such as facial recognition on behalf of all forces. Mahmood said policing was stuck in a different century and the new body will form part of a series of police reforms she will unveil on Monday. The NPS will cover England and Wales but be able to operate in the wider UK, setting standards and training.

Could Ukraine hold a presidential election right now? Will Europe use frozen Russian assets to fund war? How can Ukraine rebuild China ties? 'Ukraine is running out of men, money and time' An explosion in Moscow killed three people, including two police officers, just days after a car bomb killed a high-ranking Russian general in the same area of the capital. An official from Ukraine's military intelligence, known as GUR, told The Associated Press news agency that the attack had been carried out as part of a Ukrainian operation and the two police officers were targeted for taking part in Russia's war in Ukraine.
