What is in the 28-point US plan for Ukraine? 'Ukraine is running out of men, money and time' Can the US get all sides to end the war? Why is Europe opposing Trump's peace plan? Firefighters evacuated residents and their pets from a nine-storey apartment building in Ukraine's Sumy region after a Russian drone strike. The strikes come as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with leaders of the UK, France and Germany in London to discuss the US peace plan.

Drones are a controversial tech gadget to say the least. They can pose a risk to aircraft, cause potential privacy issues, and are being used to smuggle contraband into prisons. Despite their bad reputation, a lot of research is being put into the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) within emergency missions. At New York University's Abu Dhabi campus, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Antonios Tzes, has been manning a project across five different universities in the US, Sweden, Switzerland, Netherlands, and Greece, to develop drones for use inside buildings, particularly in fire situations. After designing ground vehicles for rescue operations, Tzes and his team were looking for a way to move away from the ground. "We needed to go up into the air, in confined spaces, and drones were the logical way to do it," he tells the Standard.

Being able to both walk and take flight is typical in nature, and now researchers are creating drones with similar capabilities. Scientists have developed a prototype drone that can both fly and drive - a breakthrough that could pave the way for flying cars in the future. The development could lead to machines that can fly into disaster zones and squeeze through tight spaces to transport objects or rescue people. The team developed various'path-planning' algorithms aimed at ensuring that the drones don't collide. To make them capable of driving, the team put two small motors with wheels on the bottom of each drone.
