Published on 02/09/2025 – 12:35 GMT+2 Futuristic scenarios are being painted on social media videos in which hate is rising between humans and so-called “clankers”. One tongue-in-cheek video illustrates a parent telling their child, “we don’t speak to them,” and another video shows a human telling a robot, “get this dirty clanker out of here!”.

They don’t raise it … Reform is really not interested. So I think, on a massive issue that I think will be one of the top issues at the next election, we will be the only opposition party with any credibility.” 72 is a crowd Generally speaking,…
The day opened with an Indigenous purification ritual in Mexico City’s Zócalo square, followed by the handover of the Staff of Command to the incoming justices. Later, the nine-member panel, dominated by allies of President Claudia Sheinbaum’s Morena party, was sworn in during a Senate ceremony. Sheinbaum praised the reform as a “profoundly democratic event,” while Hugo Aguilar, a lawyer known for defending Indigenous rights, assumed the role of chief justice. Critics argue that electing judges threatens judicial independence and risks consolidating Morena’s power, particularly after low voter turnout cast doubt on the legitimacy of the elections.

Published on 02/09/2025 – 10:09 GMT+2 Will Smith has been at the centre of much online ridicule over some AI generated images of his tour. Ahead of the UK leg of his tour, promoting his first studio album in 20 years, ‘Based On A True Story’, a video was shared from his official YouTube channel and Instagram, titled: “My favourite part of tour is seeing you all up close. Thank you for seeing me too.” The clip gained attention for all the wrong reasons, as many claimed it makes heavy use of AI – specifically faked footage of his fans and their homemade signs.…

Published on 02/09/2025 – 10:00 GMT+2 Sanctions against Russia, North Korea, and Iran will continue to fail unless the global maritime flagging system is structurally reformed, according to a new report from the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), a London-based think tank. The study highlights the increasing reliance of Russia and Iran on evasive tactics, such as hiding ship ownership, disabling identification systems, registering with lenient flag states and flying false flags, in order to evade detection and enforcement. “The ease with which vessels can obtain flags without scrutiny, avoid ownership transparency and escape enforcement actions has created the conditions…
The rally, led by students, marked ten months since the collapse of a concrete awning at Novi Sad’s railway station that killed 16 people.

The movement coincided with Vucic’s trip to China, where he is meeting world leaders, while his supporters staged counter-rallies in several Serbian towns over the weekend, showing deep divisions in the country.
