Netanyahu's fight to own the election narrative With elections one month away, the media discourse in Israel has narrowed in on one question about one man: What did Benjamin Netanyahu know before October 7? The prime minister is suing the Israeli newspaper that reported the claim, while the right-wing Channel 14 insists none of it matters. Missing from the coverage is any reckoning with what Israel has done in Gaza. Donald Trump gathered some of the biggest names in AI this week and got them to agree to regulate themselves. One of the most popular genres of online content these days is made by children - or rather, made of them. Family vlogging has become one of the internet's most profitable genres.

AI's existential threat to humanity is dominating headlines across the globe. But with so much attention on the fear of a future AI apocalypse, is the media ignoring the damage AI is already causing? And as AI CEOs join forces to call for regulations, is their motivation about public safety or to secure their grip on the technology's future? NAZA, a documentary that lifts the lid on Israel's calculated killing of Palestinians, has sparked outrage in Israel and accusations of treason against its Israeli filmmakers. They've faced threats from senior government and military officials, as well as journalists and online activists.

East Asia is facing a demographic reckoning, with societies in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan ageing rapidly. With a drastic shortage of burial space, a lucrative new market is emerging. From AI avatars to DNA gems, technology is bringing loved ones back to life - in digital forms - raising questions about whether it will help heal or hinder the grieving process. Can "super coral" and cooling the sea, save reefs from climate change? Is China seeking to copy Iran's Strait of Hormuz blockade around Taiwan? Vanishing forests: Why is the Philippines failing at reforestation?

Why are sandwiches more regulated than AI? Futurist Max Tegmark wonders why sandwiches are more regulated than artificial intelligence in the US. The biggest danger facing mankind is a machine that can "outsmart the whole species", argues Max Tegmark, professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and founder of the Future of Life Institute. Tegmark tells host Steve Clemons that governments and tech companies are in a "race to replace" human labour, instead of solving human problems. "It's aimed at getting more money and power to a very small number of individuals," he says. But a slew of suicides and murders committed by people chatting with AI chatbots has led to pushback against the Silicon Valley "don't regulate us" lobby.

The Stream How does targeting water supply during war worsen the scarcity crisis? We explore why water infrastructure is increasingly being targeted in the midst of war and conflict. Water sustains life, but what happens when it is weaponised? In the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran, desalination plants supplying millions in the Gulf have become targets. This reflects a growing pattern: water infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable as global scarcity intensifies.

Could Iran be using China's BeiDou system? The Stream Can AI in military operations really be ethical? We examine concerns about AI's role in military operations and the broader ethical challenges facing tech companies. Amid growing backlash against ChatGPT and OpenAI, including social media campaigns calling for a boycott, we examine whether so-called "ethical alternatives" truly live up to their claims. We also explore emerging initiatives seeking to challenge Big Tech's dominance and develop more accountable AI systems.

Iran says'ready for war' Which are Iran's main opposition groups? This past week, Iranian protesters were labelled "terrorists" and "saboteurs" by the state. That rhetoric was accompanied by an internet blackout and a surge in violence, with the death toll still unclear. Simultaneously, tensions between the United States and Iran escalated, raising the stakes in what has become one of the most serious political upheavals in the country in years. In the US, the shooting - in public - of a woman two weeks ago by immigration officers has spiralled into a case of outright lying that is remarkable even by the standards of the Trump administration.

The Stream How will AI impact jobs? We look at how AI is affecting jobs, and how gender and age influence who uses it. Who is not talking about artificial intelligence these days? It is already weaving into virtually every industry and beginning to reshape how we work. But what many professionals are now asking is: What does this mean for our careers?

The Stream What does the US-UK AI deal mean for your data? Is the UK truly becoming an AI hub as US tech giants pour in billions? A multibillion-dollar deal is being hailed as proof that Britain is becoming a global hub for artificial intelligence, with major United States tech companies investing heavily. But the reality is a little less straightforward. On today's show, we ask: how much power, and how much of your personal data, are you willing to hand over to tech companies?

The Stream Why does misinformation spread faster than truth? We examine how online misinformation spreads and the efforts to stop it. From bots pushing ready-made talking points, to AI generating information that isn't always reliable, to pages distorting images and bending facts - online misinformation is everywhere. So how can people tell what's real? And is it even possible to build immunity against misinformation in today's digital world?
