View All 9I served in Northern Ireland as a teenager – we must never forget those who fought and the sacrifices they made
This Remembrance Sunday, I wanted to reflect on my own military service, particularly my time serving in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. I was just a teenager when I deployed to Belfast. I spent 18 months there as a young rifleman in the Green Jackets. I wasn't an officer.I wasn't even a Lance Corporal. I was a young lad doing the job my country had asked me to do. TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say I knew my orders. I knew the rules of engagement. But nothing could have fully prepared me for what I would experience. I witnessed things that no young person should see. Things that have stayed with me throughout my life. Things that, for many years, I desperately tried to forget, and I know I am not alone. Across our country, there are thousands of veterans who carry memories of their service that most people could never begin to imagine. Some talk about their experiences with old friends over a couple of beers. LATEST DEVELOPMENTSNigel Farage reveals Remembrance Sunday plan after huge row over 'Establishment Cenotaph ban'Outrage as Civil Service calendar fails to mark Remembrance Sunday but celebrates trans dayBritish heroes face being booted out of veteran accommodation just before Remembrance DayOthers never speak about them at all. Not because they have forgotten, but because remembering can be too painful. For many years, I struggled with my own experiences. I have spoken openly about my battle with complex post-traumatic stress, and the therapy that helped me finally process what I had witnessed. It wasn't easy, but I was fortunate to come through the other side. Sadly, I know many friends who are still fighting those battles today. Worse, I had friends who lost the battle on their return, through injury or even suicide. That is why Remembrance means so much to me. When we stand in silence at eleven o'clock, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Those who went to war and never came home. Those whose families were left with an empty chair at the dinner table and a lifetime of grief. Though we must also remember those who came home, forever changed by what they experienced. I think about the men I served alongside. Friendships forged in the most difficult circumstances. The courage, professionalism, and humour that got us through some incredibly dark days. I think about the soldiers who served in Northern Ireland, often as teenagers, who were sent into dangerous situations and expected to make life-or-death decisions in a split second. And I think about the families who supported us, often without ever knowing what we had been through.Service is about duty. It is about putting something bigger than yourself first and sometimes that comes at an extraordinary personal cost.As Shadow Minister for War Readiness, I know that we must never take the courage of our Armed Forces for granted. We must ensure that those serving today have the support they need, and that those who served before them are never abandoned. Remembrance cannot simply be about wearing a poppy once a year. It must be about how we treat our veterans every day. For all those who stand up and serve, I thank you. To all those who we have lost, we will remember you.

GB News Veterans' Voices: Sunday, November 8, 2026
As we mark Remembrance across the country this week, GB News has been finding out the stories of veterans from across the UK. This special series continues today with the story of John Bennett. “My name is John Bennett. I served in the British Army, Royal Signals. I served four tours of Northern Ireland and one tour of the Falklands.“Northern Ireland during the Troubles. It was the one place where I felt I could make a difference in my role. I can't talk about what that was, but it was the one Army service where you felt you had an opportunity to make a difference. And what I was doing was important. “It was a war zone in Northern Ireland, and people were in fear for a long time over there. And the British soldiers were there because they were sent there. The whole point of going over there was to protect people. And it turned into the tragedy we know today. “I served my country, and I would do so again. When you're there, you're just doing your job. We're only a very small cog in a very large machine. So the work that we did was that the information that we gleaned may have helped shape some of the things that followed. “But I think at the time, it's not until you it's not until you leave the battlefield, if ever. If I call it that. If you leave the conflict,, you realise years later that some of the things that unfolded you may have played a part in, so you don't realise it at the time. “When I got to the age of 57, I had the misfortune to get a condition called myasthenia gravis, which affects the limbs in the arms and the legs, and it also can render you blind for periods of time. “The Royal British Legion was someone I could approach, and they put me in touch with other charities. They were always there in the background for anybody who served or is in the armed forces serving now, so there is someone who can help, or an organisation you can turn to that can make a difference. “History is easily forgotten. The remembrance days for all wars. And it's a way of remembering the sacrifice that people made, and you perhaps don't really understand just how brave some of these people were. “We wouldn't be a free country today if it weren't for the people that served during the First or Second World War and subsequent wars after that.”WATCH ABOVEOur Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
Investigations continue as Briton among six killed in Poland mass shooting
News | Politics Investigations continue as Briton among six killed in Poland mass shooting Four men and two women died in the attack in Krakow’s Main Square on Saturday afternoon, with another three bodies found later. Six people were killed in the square, including one Briton (AP) AP Stanley Murphy-Johns2 minutes ago Investigations are ongoing after a British citizen was among the six people killed during a mass shooting in the Polish city of Krakow. The suspected gunman, a 25-year-old Polish national, was believed to have been inspired by “far-right ideologies” and remains in hospital after being shot by police. Four women and two men were killed in the attack when a gunman opened fire in Krakow’s Main Square on Saturday afternoon, including one British citizen. Polish prime minister Donald Tusk said another three bodies were found at the home of the gunman at his home in a city approximately 93 miles from Krakow. Those bodies were likely to be the gunman’s family members, Mr Tusk said. Mr Burnham said: “I’m shocked and saddened . “My thoughts are with the families of those who have lost their lives, everyone injured and all those affected . The gunman was said to have been influenced by far-right ideologies (AP) AP “The United Kingdom stands in solidarity with the people of Poland.” The suspect has not yet been identified, but has been confirmed a 25-year-old Polish man. The Polish interior minister Marcin Kierwinski said the attacker held “very radical views” and “was fascinated by far-right ideologies”. The gunman opened fire in Krakow’s Main Square, in the centre of the old town, at around 3.30pm on Saturday afternoon with an automatic weapon.

Jonathan Balshaw, from Ipswich, was outside Mary’s Basilica in the square with his girlfriend when the attack started. “We ran down the side of the church and through the side door and hid with several other people until the gunfire died down,” he told the BBC. “A lot of shots were fired, more than 20 with it sounding like multiple different firearms – there were two distinctly different noises.” Polish defence minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz called Saturday’s fatal shooting an “act of terror” on the people of Krakow.
Hot fridges, a fake nuclear alert and a $6bn heist: are we in the foothills of a hacking epidemic?
Composite: Guardian Design/ View image in fullscreen Composite: Guardian Design/ As AI exposes flaws in IT systems and geopolitics plays out on the cyber frontline, some experts say the events of recent weeks could soon be a common occurence Alex Pearce was doing the morning rounds at his fruit and vegetable wholesale business in London on Monday last week when he noticed something odd. The defrost light on refrigeration unit 2 was on, and the panel reading was 150C. As he approached his biggest unit, its defrost light also blinked on. It was at this point that Pearce thought: is this a cyber-attack? He walked over to the box connecting the units to the internet and yanked out the cable.

But it is not just Pearce and a disparate group of retailers, as well as French blood banks, that have been suffering. The hacking attack was one of three over a number of days.

Like this time a year ago, you really could tell Indiana was legitimate, that they were a powerhouse." After spending five days as the No. 1 team in the country, it was No. 11 Notre Dame that handed the Miami Hurricanes its first loss of the season in the highly anticipated showdown that has been circled for the past year.

A touchdown pass from Miami quarterback Darian Mensah cut Notre Dame’s lead to 24-17, prompting the Hurricanes’ sideline to erupt as coaches tried to keep their players’ emotions in check. It was at this point that Notre Dame fought their way out of the corner after taking a barrage of punches you'd expect from the No. 1 team in the country. A Nolan James Jr. touchdown run put the Fighting Irish back up , and almost put away a Miami team who had gassed itself out over that eight-minute stretch.

Homelessness in the U.S. saw its largest drop in more than a decade last year
S. homelessness dropped last year Homelessness declined after years of record-high levels but it still remains at nearly 700,000. The Trump administration and homeless advocacy groups cite different reasons for the drop. News Homelessness in the U. S. saw its largest drop in more than a decade last year November 7, 20267:19 PM ET Jennifer Ludden People line up along temporary tents to partake in a free Thanksgiving meal provided , in downtown Los Angeles on Nov. 24, 2022. Damian Dovarganes/AP hide caption toggle caption i Damian Dovarganes/AP After years of increasing to record-high levels, the homeless population in the U. S. dropped more than 6% in 2025. That amounts to roughly 49,000 fewer people without housing. It's the second year in a row that homelessness has declined, with a smaller drop in 2024. "President Trump's actions to secure the border, get criminal illegals off our streets, and restore safety to our communities drove a historic decrease in homelessness," Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner said in a press release announcing the results of an annual count in communities around the country. The agency had not yet posted a detailed report. A second independent analysis based on the same count, but commissioned , found a similar decline but credited different reasons for it. "It's good news that more people are getting housed, and that the programs that are funded ," said CEO Ann Oliva. Both analyses find there's still nearly 700,000 people in the U. S. living in shelters or on the streets, significantly more than before the COVID-19 pandemic. Only on NPR A homeless man was charged with a felony for camping. He's one of the first The Trump administration cited its changes in immigration policy as a key factor in the decline. During the Biden administration, New York, Chicago, Boston and Denver all saw a surge in asylum seekers who turned up at homeless shelters. "That's also the four cities that have driven half of the drop most recently," said Devon Kurtz, Public Safety Policy Director at the Cicero Institute, an administration ally on homelessness policy. Kurtz also pointed to declines in cities like San Francisco, which is moving to support more sober-living options, housing that bans drugs and alcohol. But critics say that can send more people back to the street if they relapse, which is common. The Trump administration argues that the requirement to be drug-free would help more people achieve recovery, and wants to expand such programs.
Israeli president taps Netanyahu rival to form government as coalition battle looms
close Video Israeli government deadlocked after inconclusive election Chief correspondent Jonathan Hunt reports from Tel Aviv, Israel, on deadlocked coalition negotiations as political factions meet with President Isaac Herzog. Following the elections, Benjamin Netanyahu and political rival Gadi Eisenkot make bids to secure the recommendations needed to form a government. NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Israeli President Isaac Herzog announced Saturday that he has chosen opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot to form the country's next government, handing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's chief rival the first opportunity to build a coalition following an inconclusive national election. Herzog announced his decision on Nov. 7, but the formal presentation of the mandate is scheduled for Sunday, November 8, at 5 p. m. Eisenkot will then have 28 days to assemble a government, with a possible 14-day extension. The decision could mark a significant step toward ending Netanyahu’s tenure, but it would also launch a difficult round of coalition negotiations, with deep disagreements among parties seeking to replace him.

(Ariel Schalit/AP Photo) Following two days of consultations with Israel’s newly elected parliament, Herzog announced Thursday that factions representing 67 of the Knesset’s 120 members had recommended Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, to form the next government. Netanyahu received the backing of 46 lawmakers, while seven members of the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party declined to endorse either candidate. "The results of the consultations may appear clear," Herzog said in his Nov. 5 statement, but cautioned that competing political demands and vetoes have left the prospects for forming a government uncertain. The challenge facing Eisenkot is that the 67 endorsements do not translate into a 67-seat governing coalition. In the October 27 election, Netanyahu’s Likud emerged as the largest single party with 27 seats, while his wider political bloc won 53. The four-party alliance seeking to replace him secured just 48 seats. The remaining endorsements for Eisenkot came from two Arab-led parties, the Joint List and Ra’am, which together hold 19 seats. Although both recommended Eisenkot to the president, their support presents a dilemma for some of his prospective coalition partners, who have ruled out depending on Arab parties to establish a government. NETANYAHU GAINS OVERNIGHT AS ISRAEL ELECTION HEADS TOWARD POLITICAL DEADLOCK Israeli President Isaac Herzog during an interview with Fox News Digital in Jerusalem, Israel. (Yoav Dudkevitch/TPS-IL for Fox News Digital) In a lengthy statement Friday, Eisenkot outlined his plan to establish what he called a National Emergency Government, initially based on the four parties committed to replacing Netanyahu, while leaving the door open for additional parties and lawmakers to join. "Israel is facing a genuine, tangible and dangerous national emergency," Eisenkot said.

View All 10‘Windrush’ accusations over sharp rise in Turkish nationals facing removal from UK

Photograph: Stefan Rousseau/PA View image in fullscreen The rise appears to apply to applications lodged since September 2025, shortly before Shabana Mahmood announced proposals for tougher conditions on those applying for leave to remain. Photograph: Stefan Rousseau/PA David Lammy among those raising concerns after errors found in rejected applications for indefinite leave to remain Concerns have been raised over the sudden rise in number of Turkish nationals facing removal from the UK as a result of mistakes, prompting accusations that the Home Office has failed to learn the lessons of the Windrush scandal. Since the start of the year, there has been a sharp rise in the number of rejected applications for indefinite leave to remain for those on European Community Association Agreement (ECAA) visas, a longstanding route to residency for Turkish nationals seeking to set up a business in the UK. The rise in refusals appears to apply to applications lodged since September 2025, shortly before Shabana Mahmood announced controversial proposals at the Labour conference for tougher conditions on those applying for leave to remain. The home secretary said at the time: “In solving this crisis, you may not always like what I do. We will have to question some of the assumptions and legal constraints that have lasted for a generation and more.” The Home Office maintains that there has been no change to the rules but doubts about this have been raised, including , who said there “seems to be a sudden change” in the government’s policy, which had “devastated” the lives of those affected and evoked memories of the Windrush scandal. Hundreds of ECAA holders have been refused permanent residency since the start of the year, a big uptick compared with previous years, while the number of successful applications has plummeted from the usual several thousand to just a few hundred since January. Refusal letters have been riddled with basic errors, made-up requirements and a disregard of human tragedies, which were previously treated with discretion. Many of those being denied arrived in the UK within the past seven years and have set up successful businesses. Among them is a woman who started treatment for cancer in Turkey after being diagnosed on a trip during the Covid-19 pandemic, when the NHS restricted such care.

Photograph: Andy Rain/EPA Campaign group the3million lodges court papers after EU citizens told pre-settled status was an ‘error’ The Home Office is being sued for alleged breach of the Brexit withdrawal agreement after stripping almost 1,500 EU citizens of their full rights to live in the UK. Campaign group the3million lodged papers at the high court on Friday after several cases emerged of EU citizens who were granted pre-settled status to remain in the country after Brexit but were told recently those decisions were an “error”. According to the statement of claim, the Home Office decision to remove all or some rights from citizens granted pre-settled status was made without “procedural protections” required under the Brexit withdrawal agreement (WA). These protections include a right of an appeal and an assessment of “proportionality”, which would establish whether removal of rights was appropriate given the EU citizens in question built their lives in the UK on the basis of the Home Office’s original decision. Among the people affected a 33-year-old Brazilian Italian engineer who has been in London since 2018. He was originally told that he should not have settled status: he could stay but his Brazilian wife could not, a decision that was reversed in the last few weeks after objections were raised. Another EU citizen who raised her case with the3million is a woman working in the NHS and studying for a PhD in dentistry. She has said the Home Office’s notification had “turned her life upside down”. In October 2026, the Home Office accepted that where a person provides evidence of their Italian citizenship, together with evidence that this was obtained through jure sanguinis, they would now accept that this person was an Italian from birth. Previously it told a number of Brazilian Italians they were granted status “in error” because they had not presented an Italian passport at the time of their application, merely stating they were Italian citizens. Monique Hawkins, acting CEO of the3million, said: “The Home Office is putting the cart before the horse.

View All 10Cathie Wood 'always feels better when the market is worried' — here's why
Livestream Menu Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood told CNBC on Friday that a "wall of worry" is gripping markets. But she said worry among investors cements her view that the bull market has further to run. Stocks sold off sharply on Thursday before staging a tentative recovery on Friday. VIDEO7:5107:51 Watch CNBC’s full interview with ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood Morning Call Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood is shrugging off this week's market jitters, telling CNBC on Friday that concerns among investors actually reinforce her optimism that further gains lie ahead. S. equities sold off sharply on Thursday, reversing the initial rally seen in the wake of the midterm elections. AI-related stocks led the rout, sending the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite into correction territory. On Friday, tech stocks staged a tentative recovery. Much of the sell-off on Thursday was driven a Democrat-led Congress would lead to a slowdown in data center construction. But concerns about artificial intelligence – particularly when it comes to capital expenditure, cash flow, debt and circular financing – have sparked multiple bouts of volatility over the course of this year. Wood, whose firm manages various funds focused on tech and innovation, told CNBC there was a "wall of worry" pervading financial markets right now. Asked on Friday whether markets were anywhere near the end of the current bull run, Wood replied: "I don't think so." "I think we're in the middle of a technology revolution," she said, pointing to the development of technologies like robotaxis and AI agents. One thing that did risk becoming a "showstopper," Wood noted, was the rising cost of capital. Interest rates and bond yields have risen sharply this year as the U. S.-Iran war pushes inflation higher across the globe. Yields on corporate bonds have been rising too, with creditors demanding greater compensation for lending to companies. "This correction is partly caused by what's going on in the bond markets," Wood said on Friday. "I had been saying for quite some time that the wall of worry has been built ," she said. "It's the elder statesmen and women of the industry who are keeping this wall of worry in place, and that's not bad. Now you can add the bond investor to that. Bond investors in the old days weren't necessary for technology. It was low fixed cost. It was viral apps, very high margins. [AI] is high fixed cost, so bond investors are experiencing or taking a journey into the technology world, really that they haven't very much before." But she noted that AI hyperscalers were somewhat insulated . "If a company thinks that taking on debt is going to accelerate its momentum, meaning its growth rate, it hardly matters what happens to interest rates for those companies," Wood explained.

View All 10Syncing Apple Music across your devices is easier than you think
Big Tech Apple Syncing Apple Music across your devices is easier than you think Using Apple Music on multiple devices? Keeping them in sync is a breeze. By Filipe Espósito Nov. 7, 2026 pm EST Apple Music is one of the best music streaming platforms right now, especially for Apple device owners. But despite its association with the tech giant, Apple Music is not exclusive to Apple devices and is available on multiple platforms. You can, for example, sign in with your Apple Account and listen to your favorite songs on an Android phone, Windows PC or even smart TVs. After signing in on a new device, though, you may notice that your music library isn't synced and your songs aren't there. If this has happened to you, don't worry. Changing a single setting in Apple Music will prompt it to sync your music across all your devices, ensuring you don't have to manage your library manually on each one. How to turn on Sync Library on Apple Music Filipe Espósito for Engadget The main reason Apple Music might not sync your library across devices is that you're using different accounts on each device, so check that first. If you're not sure which account you're using, open the Apple Music app and tap your profile picture on the Home tab. If the email address on the unsynced device doesn't match, you're signed in on a different account. Sign out, then log in using your primary Apple Account. Now make sure Sync Library is enabled on your devices. On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings and look for Apps. Then, find the Music app in the list and enable Sync Library. On a Mac, open the Music app and click the "Music" menu at the top of the screen, then go to Settings. Now, under the General tab, make sure Sync Library is enabled and click OK to save your settings. The process is pretty much the same in Windows, but you need to click the three-dot button instead to find Settings. If you have an Android phone, this option is enabled by default, and you don't need to change anything. No matter the platform, the first sync might take a while, especially if you have a large music library. If you don't see your songs right away after enabling syncing, leave the Music app open and wait a few minutes.
Samsung One UI 9.5 beta may be coming soon: Here's how to sign up for the program
Big Tech Samsung Samsung One UI 9.5 beta may be coming soon: Here's how to the program Beta firmware for the Galaxy S26 Ultra is already on Samsung's servers. By Luke James Nov. 7, 2026 pm EST If you've been aggressively refreshing the Samsung Members app on your Galaxy S26 in the hope of seeing the One UI 9.5 beta, you're wasting your time — although you won't have to wait much longer. A One UI 9.5 beta build for the Galaxy S26 Ultra has appeared on Samsung's Korean and US update servers, which is typically the last step before the company opens registrations. Samsung hasn't announced the beta or a launch date, but its last point-five update, One UI 8.5, opened to testers on December 8 2025. One UI 9.5 is expected to launch with the Galaxy S27 early in 2027, so a beta release is definitely imminent. If you're interested, signing up will work the same way as last time: register in Samsung Members, then download the beta from your phone's settings once it's available. That is, provided you live in one of six countries — Germany, India, Poland, South Korea, the UK or the US — and own the right phone. The build that's been spotted is firmware version S948BXXU6ZZK3, and it's for the S26 Ultra only, though other S26 phones and servers will almost certainly get the beta. Enthusiast site SammyGuru also expects the S25 series, Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 to get the beta as well. Even if you have an S26, though, you may miss out if you bought it through a carrier. The One UI 8.5 beta was only available for unlocked phones in the US, and users with a carrier-locked S26 will probably have to wait for the stable release. When the beta is likely to open Gints Ivuskans/Shutterstock Samsung opened the One UI 8.5 beta on December 8, 2025, for the Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra, but not everyone got it on day one: Owners in Poland and India had to wait until the second beta build on December 22. Samsung launched One UI 8.5 on the Galaxy S26 at its February 2026 Unpacked event, and released a beta for the Galaxy S24 series, Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, S25 FE, S24 FE and Galaxy Tab S11 in late March. The One UI 9.0 beta rolled out on May 13, and the stable version released with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 on July 22, in step with Google's Android 17 release.
After the midterms, things are looking rocky for Elon Musk and data centers
Democrats’ historic victory in this week’s midterm elections could also have a dramatic effect on the tech industry. In dozens of local ballot measures, voters rejected data centers. And even when they weren’t voting on the issue directly, they were electing politicians — like Texas’ new governor-elect Gina Hinojosa — who campaigned on the promise of restricting data centers. On the latest episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Sean O’Kane, and I discussed what the midterms mean for the tech industry. Sean kicked it off “seems to have basically nothing out of donating half a billion dollars” to Republicans, while his companies are now headquartered “in a state that has, remarkably, turned about as blue as it could possibly turn.” And Kirsten said that while data centers probably weren’t the main cause of the “blue wave,” they’ve become an “an increasingly grassroots issue, in part because of how hyperscalers and companies have gone about” getting their projects approved. And now, “we’re already seeing companies like OpenAI all of a sudden go, ‘Actually, we can change our policies.’” Keep reading for a preview of our conversation, edited for length and clarity. Sean O’Kane: First off, let’s talk about the fact that one of the biggest data center builders was also the largest donor to the Republican Party. Elon Musk seems to have gotten basically nothing out of donating half a billion dollars — maybe even more, — and in fact is now sitting there with all of his businesses in a state that has, remarkably, turned about as blue as it could possibly turn for the first time in a very long time, if ever. That, I think, is the biggest thing hanging above a lot of this discussion. But, there were also a bunch of ballot measures up around the country that would have paved the way for data centers to get built faster. I’m curious what you guys think about that. Anthony Ha: I don’t necessarily think that they’re too focused on it, but I understand why it would feel a little bit disproportionate — the data center ballot measures, certainly there were a number of them, but it wasn’t something that was on the ballot everywhere. And in different races, the dynamic might have been a bit different, but there was this undercurrent and sense that it seems to be an issue that reaches across the country, that is bipartisan in a lot of ways, but that the Democrats seem to have been more effective at harnessing that energy.
Megaspeed exec was recruited to spy on Nvidia CEO, according to US intelligence memo
In Brief Posted: PM PST · November 7, 2026 : Benjamin Fanjoy / Anthony Ha Megaspeed exec was recruited to spy on Nvidia CEO, according to US intelligence memo A memo circulated earlier this year claimed that technology executive Alice Huang was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security to spy on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, according to multiple media reports. The New York Times, which had previously said Nvidia’s chief executive had been the target of Chinese intelligence, was the first to report on the memo, which was reportedly based on U. S. intelligence. The Financial Times subsequently reported that the memo also claimed Jensen Huang had a romantic relationship with Alice Huang, an executive at a Singapore-based company called Megaspeed. An Nvidia spokesperson told the NYT that Jensen Huang’s interactions with Alice Huang were “not unusual,” and that the company does not share classified information with its customers. A separate NYT report examined New Matrix, a Chinese company authorized by the U. S. Commerce Department to buy advanced Nvidia chips. But at the office address listed , reporters only found “a hollow gray shell,” raising concerns that it could be a front for a blacklisted private equity firm. The Nvidia spokesperson said the company sells “the first, best and most of our technology in America.” Topics AI, Government & Policy Buy One Pass, Get a Second Free Cover more ground at TechCrunch’s ultimate founder bootcamp of the year -founder or partner for free Book before the BOGO deal expires Register Now the industry’s biggest tech news Related Government & Policy After the midterms, things are looking rocky for Elon Musk and data centers Anthony Ha 9 hours ago AI Crusoe sells troubled Wyoming data center project to Google Marina Temkin 1 day ago Commerce After blocking Muse, Amazon now lets users text Alexa to help them shop Ivan Mehta 2 days ago Latest in AI Government & Policy After the midterms, things are looking rocky for Elon Musk and data centers Anthony Ha 9 hours ago In Brief Megaspeed exec was recruited to spy on Nvidia CEO, according to US intelligence memo Anthony Ha 10 hours ago AI Crusoe sells troubled Wyoming data center project to Google Marina Temkin 1 day ago

Humans have always been awed by the power and beauty of lightning. How does the experience and understanding of it change in a warming world?In a rock shelter in Kakadu national park in the north of Australia is an image of a being the Bininj people call Namarrkon. His flesh bleached away to reveal the bones beneath, he wears stone axes on his head, elbows and knees, and wields a great band of lightning that runs from his ankles up, over his head.Namarrkon’s journey from the Arafura Sea to the Arnhem Land escarpment helped shape the landscape, according to the dreamtime stories of the Bininj. And in the great storms that arc and rumble across the landscape during the buildup and the wet season, it is Namarrkon who splits the clouds with his stone axes to create the thunder and lightning and release the life-giving rain.

Drinking 2–3 cups of coffee a day linked to dramatically lower dementia risk
Date: November 7, 2026 Source: American Physiological Society Summary: Drinking two to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily was linked to a dramatically lower risk of dementia and better cognitive functioning in a study spanning up to 43 years. The benefits appeared regardless of genetic risk, but decaffeinated coffee did not show the same association. Share: Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email FULL STORY Two to three cups of caffeinated coffee a day may help keep your brain sharp and lower your risk of dementia, even if you're genetically predisposed. Credit: Shutterstock Your daily cup of coffee may be doing more than helping you wake up in the morning. A long-running study of U. S. adults suggests that drinking caffeinated coffee regularly is associated with a substantially lower risk of dementia and better cognitive health as people age. Researchers found that adults who consumed higher amounts of caffeinated coffee developed dementia at considerably lower rates than those who rarely or never drank it. The findings were based on follow-up periods extending as long as 43 years, offering a valuable look at how everyday drinking habits relate to brain health over time. The strongest associations appeared among people who drank two to three cups of caffeinated coffee each day. Tea consumption was also linked to better cognitive outcomes, although the amount associated with the greatest benefit was somewhat lower. Interestingly, decaffeinated coffee did not show the same benefits, raising questions about whether caffeine itself might help explain the connection. Coffee Drinkers Showed Much Lower Dementia Rates One of the most striking findings involved the difference in dementia rates between regular coffee drinkers and people who consumed little or no coffee. S. adults who drank higher amounts of caffeinated coffee, researchers recorded 141 dementia cases annually for every 100,000 people. In comparison, the rate was 330 cases per 100,000 people each year among those who rarely or never drank caffeinated coffee. Dementia is a general term for conditions that progressively interfere with memory, thinking, reasoning, and the ability to perform everyday activities. Alzheimer's disease is its most common cause, although several other brain disorders can also lead to dementia. While occasional forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging, dementia involves cognitive difficulties severe enough to disrupt daily life. Identifying lifestyle habits associated with lower dementia risk is therefore an important area of research, particularly as populations grow older. The findings suggest that regular caffeinated coffee consumption may be one such habit.
COP climate summits might yet have a useful future – here’s how
The COP31 venue in Antalya, Turkey Orhan Cicek/Anadolu via At a certain point, it becomes impossible to convey the urgency of the climate crisis in words. Calls to “intensify efforts” to cut emissions or countries “expressing alarm” at the pace of climate change start to ring hollow after years of rising emissions. At a certain point, you have to ask, what difference will another carefully worded declaration really make? This is a live question: next week, countries will gather at the COP31 summit in Antalya, Turkey, to progress the global response to climate change. For the seasoned attendee, these gatherings follow a predictable rhythm: some pomp and ceremony at the start when the world leaders are in attendance, followed by a quiet first week of backroom talks, escalating tension and fights over finance in the second week, all rounded off with a late-night showdown as countries argue over the wording of a final agreement. In the context of ever more dire warnings from scientists and increasingly severe real-world climate disasters, this is an event cycle that is wearing thin. To many of those in attendance – and millions more looking on from afar – it is becoming increasingly clear that COP summits are failing to deliver meaningful progress. This is a relatively new problem. For decades, the job of a COP negotiator was to forge some kind of global agreement to address climate change. That was no mean feat, and it took years of hard work and dedication to deliver the Paris Agreement in 2015. After the treaty was struck, climate negotiators then spent a few years busily drawing up the rules that would govern how the agreement would work in practice. But with that work largely completed by 2021, since then, COP summits have been left to drift, plagued -minute disputes over the wording of seemingly uncontentious statements. At last year’s summit, for example, countries couldn’t agree on even mentioning fossil fuels in the final agreement. COP31 will largely follow the same format. Arguments are already brewing over funding, negotiators are flexing their pens to hammer out details of new bureaucratic mechanisms, and hosts Turkey and Australia are limbering up for fresh disputes over which adverbs to deploy in a final agreement. This is your official warning: COP31 will not be the meeting that saves the world from climate peril. But there could be one bright spark at the summit.
One of the year's most prolific meteor showers to light up the night sky this weekend
The Leonid meteor shower is set to dazzle sky gazers across the UK throughout November. The celestial spectacle takes place from now until 30 November with the peak taking place on the night of 17 November. There could be the chance to spot up to 10-15 meteors per hour. The shower is made up of dust particles from the Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, which leaves a trail of debris as it follows its path around the Sun. These particles enter the Earth's atmosphere at up to 44 miles (71km) per second - meaning these streaks of light are the fastest meteors in the sky. Experts advise finding a safe, dark location away from sources of light pollution such as street lights. The meteors will be visible with the naked eye, with no binoculars or telescope required. However, giving your eyes some time to adapt to the dark - perhaps 20 or 30 minutes - will give you the best chance of spotting them. A wide open space is the best place to be, giving a full view of the night sky. Meteors could be visible anywhere but the Leonids' radiant - the point from which they seem to appear - will, as the name suggests, be around the head of the constellation Leo, meaning this is the best part of the sky to focus your gaze. As with all celestial spectacles, clear skies will be a must. This weekend's forecast will not necessarily be great news for those hoping to catch the start of the shower. While the weather will often be dry, large amounts of cloud are expected to fill the sky in many areas with the chance of a few spots of rain or drizzle. At the moment the best opportunities for clear skies appear to be in southern and western areas of England and Wales on Friday and Saturday nights, with more cloud in northern England, Northern Ireland and Scotland. . However, fog could be an additional issue, forming in any areas where skies remain clear for any length of time, obscuring the view. Overnight temperatures will drop into single figures with the chance of a touch of frost in a few locations so if you are looking at the night sky for any length of time you will want to wrap up warmly. You can always check the hour-by-hour cloud, fog and temperature forecast for your area . And if you miss them this weekend then take heart that viewing conditions look particularly good around their peak in the middle of November.

View All 10National Trust votes to seek banking partner more in tune with its environmental policies
The National Trust’s AGM on Saturday voted to begin a competitive tendering process for its banking arrangements after some members’ concerns about Barclays. Photograph: incamerastock/Alamy View image in fullscreen The National Trust’s AGM on Saturday voted to begin a competitive tendering process for its banking arrangements after some members’ concerns about Barclays. Photograph: incamerastock/Alamy Charity’s AGM decides overwhelmingly to begin tendering process amid criticism of Barclays’ fossil fuel investments The National Trust has voted overwhelmingly to seek a new banking partner in a significant victory for members who have long argued that its relationship with Barclays was at odds with its commitment to protecting the natural world. The resolution, passed at the charity’s annual general meeting on Saturday with the backing of its board of trustees, instructs the organisation to begin a competitive tendering process for its banking arrangements. That process will, for the first time, centre on the condition that the new bank demonstrates a positive commitment to protecting biodiversity and reducing the human-induced climate crisis. Campaigners said the result, 53,256 votes for and 4,094 against, sent a message that charities should apply the same environmental standards to their financial relationships as they do to their investments and suppliers. Others questioned the significance of the success, with insiders suggesting that the tendering process will not take place for at least a year. The bank has been criticised for its support for oil and gas expansion, including fracking and methane gas infrastructure, while the National Trust has repeatedly identified the climate emergency and the decline of nature as the greatest threats to the landscapes, wildlife and historic properties in its care. The vote came as the trust faces mounting consequences of extreme weather across its portfolio of countryside, coastline and historic buildings. A wildfire at Dunwich Heath in Suffolk in July destroyed 104 hectares (256 acres) of ancient heathland, with campaigners estimating that the damage would take 25 years to recover. Other trust properties have faced the effects of flash flooding, prolonged drought and increasingly severe weather.

‘Mind-blowing’: dark-sky fans gather on Exmoor to see what light pollution hides

Photograph: Jim Wileman/The Guardian The UK is 14th most light-polluted country, but in south-west England the veil is lifted at the dark skies festival “It’s just mind-blowing,” says the astronomer and teacher Jo Richardson. She is standing in Exmoor national park talking about Saturn, the first planet she ever saw through a telescope. But it is not the cosmic colour of the planet that Richardson is drawn to, nor its mysteries – it is the vastness. “Saturn, on average, is 800m miles away,” she says, the equivalent to travelling the circumference of the Earth 32,000 times. “You can see it through a telescope here. That’s just nuts.” Richardson is on Exmoor to spread the word. She is here for the 10th dark skies festival, celebrating the park as Europe’s first designated international dark skies reserve. Throughout October, people travelled from across England’s south-west to wonder of the night sky and learn about space, guided . Photograph: Jim Wileman/The GuardianThroughout the evening, families are taught about the cosmos via fireside question and answers, peeks through the telescope and bioluminescence walks through the woods. “Sometimes it just generates that spark,” says Richardson’s husband, Peter, also an astronomer. Together, the pair run Space Detectives, which delivers space science workshops, presentations and courses for adults and children. “We’ve had youngsters go through our clubs that are now working as professional astronomers,” he adds. Research has shown that the night sky becomes 10% brighter every year because of growing light pollution. According to the Light Pollution Map, the UK is the 14th most light-polluted country in Europe, with microstates such as Vatican City and Monaco making up the top five. Light pollution is measured , the nine-level numeric chart that measures brightness. A nine is lit up like central London, while a one is the remotest locations on Earth such as the Atacama desert in Chile. The darkest zone of Exmoor is a two. “[A] one sky is proper jaw-dropping,” says Peter Richardson. “You can Milky Way and you can see dust lanes and everything with your naked eye.

Kīlauea episode 56 ends abruptly after nearly 6 hours of lava fountaining, Hawaii
Episode 56 of lava fountaining at Kīlauea summit on November 5, 2026. Credit: USGSCredit: HVO HVO said the 5 500 m (18 000 feet) plume height was based on National Weather Service radar data, while the National Weather Service and Washington Volcanic Ash Advisory Center both reported the plume altitude. HVO estimated that approximately 6 million m³ (8 million cubic yards) of lava erupted during Episode 56, with an average effusion rate of about 200 m³/s (260 cubic yards/s). Peak effusion reached about 530 m³/s (690 cubic yards/s) around HST on November 5 ( UTC on November 6). The Uēkahuna tiltmeter recorded 17 microradians of deflationary tilt during Episode 56. HVO reported that inflationary tilt resumed immediately after lava fountaining ended. At HST ( UTC), HVO reported that surface-level winds were carrying tephra and the lower plume south-southwest toward the closed area of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, while higher-level winds carried the upper plume west-northwest toward Mauna Loa. By HST on November 5 ( UTC on November 6), fountain height had decreased to about 100 m (330 feet). Most tephra was falling within the closed area of the park, with light tephra also reported at the Footprints area and Pāhala. All eruptive vents and lava flows remained confined to Halemaʻumaʻu crater within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. HVO said tephra fallout from volcanic ash clouds is greatest within about 5 km (3 miles) of the vents, while lighter ash and Pele’s hair may remain suspended and travel farther from the source. The end-of-episode notice issued at HST on November 5 ( UTC on November 6) kept Kīlauea at Volcano Alert Level WATCH and Aviation Color Code ORANGE. In its accompanying aviation notice, HVO said fountain activity in the summit area was unlikely for the next several weeks following the end of Episode 56. Kīlauea has been erupting episodically from vents within Halemaʻumaʻu since December 23, 2024. HVO states that most lava-fountaining episodes in the current eruption sequence have lasted one day or less. References: 1 Episode 56 end-of-episode Volcanic Activity Notice 2026/H521 — U.
