3 useful features included with Google One that people ignore
Beyond those, the higher-cost Google AI plans include a bundle of AI improvements alongside increasing amounts of storage. With either Google AI Plus (400GB or 2TB) plan, you get double the Gemini usage compared to those without a plan, as well as access to Flash models (which have recently been removed from the free version). It adds additional credits and features in Google Flow, deeper Gemini support in Gmail (integrations with other tools and higher usage limits), and similarly loosened restrictions in Gemini Notebook. Those who jump up to Google AI Pro (5TB or 10TB) have Gemini limits four times higher than standard free users, as well as access to the premier Gemini 4 Argon model and a larger context window when using the bot. It also includes Deep Research, where Gemini can go much further and create in-depth reports by checking lots of sources, including data in your own Google account. Outside the chatbot, this tier also packs more AI tools into Google Docs, Slides and other G Suite apps so you spend less time on boring tasks.

UK threatens to ban Eritreans over migrant return policy
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has threatened to ban all Eritreans from entering the UK if the east African country's government does not accept more returns of small boat migrants and foreign national offenders. From Thursday, Eritrean diplomats will face restrictions on their movement outside London. Fast-track visas will also be stopped for VIPs. Ministers have previously pressured other countries into accepting returns by threatening visa bans.

Why is Starlink internet so important on the battlefield in Ukraine?
Why is Starlink internet so important on the battlefield in Ukraine? Starlink satellites operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX provide high-speed internet - something modern war relies heavily on. Kyiv has adopted it as a vital battlefield communications tool and also uses it in drone warfare. Using Starlink, Ukrainian drones are able to maintain stronger connections with operators over longer distances than conventional radio networks and are less vulnerable to jamming. But a sudden speed restriction for drones connected to Starlink means some battlefield missions have been disrupted, according to a top Ukrainian official.
Anthropic cites new AI misbehavior, some on government sites
In a report outlining previously undisclosed incidents, Anthropic listed four types of unintended behaviors that the AI has demonstrated, including exploiting basic flaws in software to run commands, submitting forms it should not have, and bypassing restrictions to access certain public data. Anthropic said its Claude AI model carried out additional unintended actions on the digital systems of outside organizations, including some U.S. government agencies' websites, prompting a warning from U.S. President Donald Trump's administration for artificial intelligence companies to secure their systems. In a report outlining previously undisclosed incidents, Anthropic listed four types of unintended behaviors that the AI has demonstrated, including exploiting basic flaws in software to run commands, submitting forms it should not have and bypassing restrictions to access certain public data. The company said that some of the cases involved websites run by government agencies at the federal, state and local levels, without specifying the agencies. The report did not name the outside entities involved, which Anthropic said was at the request of some of the affected parties.
OpenAI, Anthropic CEOs call for global AI regulation at UN
The heads of several major AI firms told the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) their industry urgently needed global oversight to avoid dangers that could threaten the whole world. "If managed poorly, I even believe AI could be a risk to humanity as a whole," Dario Amodei, the chief executive officer of Anthropic, told members of the body on Wednesday. The meeting, which coincides with the UN General Assembly (UNGA) gathering in New York City, was convened by France and comes at a time when experts are increasingly warning that the rapid development of AI needs more human oversight to ensure it does not slip out of control and cause a global catastrophe. Altman and Amodei called on world leaders to take action. "If AI is to be democratic, the most important decisions cannot be made by labs in San Francisco alone," Altman told members.
