At least eight killed in major missile and drone strikes on Kyiv
Russian forces have launched a major drone and missile attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv overnight, killing at least eight people, officials say. Several neighbourhoods were evacuated as strikes rocked buildings throughout the city, hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Russia was preparing for a massive attack. Children were among the significant number of casualties, Tymur Tkachenko, the head of Kyiv's military administration, said. The enemy is once again deliberately targeting residential areas and killing civilians, he said in the early hours of Thursday. On Thursday morning, daylight brought clearer images of a crater which appeared to be caused by the impact of explosions.

Rage against the machines: ignore the fury at Wimbledon, AI in sport works Sean Ingle
We are all suckers for a good story. And there was certainly a cracking two‑parter at Wimbledon this year. First came the news that 300 line judges had been replaced by artificial intelligence robots. Then, a few days later, it turned out there were some embarrassing gremlins in the machine. Not since Roger Federer hung up his Wilson racket has there been a sweeter spot hit during the Wimbledon fortnight.
Why don't we trust technology in sport?
For a few minutes on Sunday afternoon, Wimbledon's Centre Court became the perfect encapsulation of the current tensions between humans and machines. When Britain's Sonay Kartal hit a backhand long on a crucial point, her opponent Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova knew it had landed out. She said the umpire did too. But the electronic line-calling system - which means humans have been fully replaced this year following earlier trials - remained silent. The human umpire eventually declared the point should be replayed.
Computer says... FAULT! Wimbledon scraps line judges for first time in 148-year history as it replaces iconic umpires for AI-powered machines
Wimbledon gets under way today with line judges scrapped for the first time in the tournament's 148-year history - replaced by AI-powered technology. Some of the sport's biggest stars have descended on south-west London for the showpiece two-week event at the All England Club - including defending singles champions Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejčíková. Britain's hopes rest on Jack Draper, Katie Boulter, Cameron Norrie and Emma Raducanu, who will battle through back injury in an attempt to win her second career Grand Slam. And all eyes are on how this year's occasion copes with a shift in the way the game is umpired, as human line judges are replaced by artificial intelligence systems instead. The controversial decision has left fans torn, with some praising the forward-thinking idea while others disliking the idea of technology taking the place of a person.
