On October 4, 2019, a 13-year-old British boy called a hotline for the well-being of children from his home in Banks, a village in the north-west of England, and asked: "What should I do if I want to kill someone?"The teenager, Axel Rudakubana, said he had started taking a knife at school because he had been a bullied victim. After the Hotline consultants called the police, he told the officers who thought he would use the weapon if he had angry.He was the first of numerous warnings about Mr. Rudakubana, now 18, and his increasingly violent trends. But five years after that call, on July 29 last year, he was able to commit one of the worst attacks on the children of recent British history, killing three girls in a Taylor Swift -themed dance lesson in Southport, a city nearby At Banks and t...

Investors worried about how many large technological companies are spending on artificial intelligence they did not get much relief from Microsoft when he reported his latest financial results on Wednesday.In its most recent quarter, which ended on 31 December, Microsoft maintained its quick push to build data centers to feed cloud computing and artificial intelligence. He spent $ 22.6 billion in capital expenses, almost double a year earlier.Microsoft said that it would spend about $ 80 billion on this year this year, which ends in June. He is sprint because he said that he does not have enough ability to satisfy customers' demand for artificial intelligence and cloud computing services.That expense was against the background of the solid overall growth both in profits and in revenue for ...

In an exchange stretched with Senator Bill Cassidy, Louisiana Republican, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. showed a surprising lack of familiarity with medicate and Medicaid, the government programs responsible for the coverage of over 150 million Americans.Sometimes, Mr. Kennedy seemed to confuse the two programs. Medicare is a federal program that provides coverage to older and more disabled Americans, while Medicaid is a state federal program that covers low -income people.When he described medicate for the first time, he seemed to ignore half of the medicine program that is based on private insurance plans to provide assistance. Later, he recognized that he had been enrolled in a private plan of Advantage to medicate and said he thought that "more people would prefer to be for the benefit of medi...

After more than a year of Israeli bombing in Gaza, there were few blessings for Talal and Samar Al-Najjar to count when a fire was agreed. Their house was in ruins, they and their children were displaced and were giving hunger.Yet they were lucky: their seven family was intact, something to feel grateful to the war between Israel and Hamas, who killed tens of thousands. Many others are likely to be discovered by the rubble.So, with only hours until the 15 -month nightmare of the Palestinian enclave was paused, it hit the disaster.Their 20-year-old son, Amr Al-Najjar, had rushed to their village in the south of Gaza, hoping to be the first at home. Instead, it became one of the latest lives claimed before the start of the fragile truce."We were waiting so much time to celebrate the ceasefir...

The British populist party, reform UK, should have brought over $ 1.25 million dollars to a sumptuous fundraising on Tuesday, said a party official, an extraordinary amount for a party that six months ago was at the margin of national politics .The great American -style event was the first large fundraising since Nigel Farage has taken on the position of party leaders and his ideological ally, Donald J. Trump, returned to the White House. The gala even presented "Ymca", the classic song of the village which became a pillar of the Mr. Trump rallies.Mr. Farage wants to redo the British conservatism, just as Trump did in the United States. He pushed the movement to the right with an anti-immigrated and anti-regulation nationalistic platform.For a party that has collected less than $ 200,000 a...

Two years ago, when large Chinese technological companies such as Baidu and Alibaba were chasing the progress of Silicon Valley in artificial intelligence with Splashy and new chatbot ads, Deepseek has adopted a different approach. He got cleared on research.The strategy gave its fruits.The Chinese start-up has shaken the world of technology with its affirmation of having created a powerful artificial intelligence model that was significantly cheaper to be built compared to the offers of its best funded American rivals.In the rivalry between China and the United States for the domain of artificial intelligence, Deepseek seemed to come out of nowhere. In fact, in recent years it has risen to the stars in the world of Chinese technology with a path that was far from conventional.His mission ...

Follow Live updates on the Trump Administration.The Trump administration has commissioned organizations from other countries to stop the delivery of drugs for HIV purchased with US aid, even if the drugs have already been obtained and are seated in local clinics.The directive is part of a wider freezing on foreign aid started last week. It includes the president's emergency plan for AIDS Relief, the global health program started by George W. Bush, to whom the merit of having saved over 25 million lives all over the world is attributed.The administration had already moved to prevent Pepfar funding from moving to clinics, hospitals and other organizations in low -income countries.The appointments are canceled and the patients are removed from the clinics, according to people with knowledge o...

The pedestrians soon formed a human column that extended as far as the eye can see: long miles and about 20 people in step. Rarely such an uncomfortable journey seemed such a relief."We are so happy," said Malak Al-Haj Ahmed, 17 years old, a high school student who was selfie with his family next to the coastal road. "There is no more joyful moment than to go home."To score the moment, some people have distributed sweets. Some signs of victory flashed to passage photographers. A group of kids led a celebratory song. "On the right or left, the North is the best," they sang. "In the north we go!"For the Palestinians, it was a moment imbued with symbolism. From the Foundation of Israel in 1948, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were expelled or fled from their homes in what is known ...

The video is grainy but threatening: three figures with hood, climbing one on the other to pull them on a heavy access door of the Drents museum - a museum of art and history in Assen, the Netherlands - and then an explosion and one Shades of Sparks in the Wee Wee Wee on Saturday.At dawn, it had become clear that this was not a theft with amateur burglary. The Dutch police said that the explosion was part of an effort developed to break into the acclaimed museum and steal some of its treasures, including a precious helmet made of gold on loan from Romania."This is a dark day for the Drents Museum in Assen and the National History Museum of Romania in Bucharest," said Harry Tupan, director of the Drents Museum. “We are intensely shocked by events last night at the museum. In its existence o...

The day after Christmas, a small Chinese start-up called DeepSeek unveiled a new artificial intelligence system that could match the capabilities of cutting-edge chatbots from companies like OpenAI and Google.That alone would have been a milestone. But the team behind the system, called DeepSeek-V3, described an even bigger step. In a research paper explaining how they built the technology, DeepSeek engineers said they used only a fraction of the highly specialized computer chips that major AI companies relied on to train their systems.These chips are at the center of a tense technological competition between the United States and China. As the U.S. government works to maintain the country's leadership in the global race for artificial intelligence, it is trying to limit the number of powe...
