AI Summary:
Donald Trump said a meeting is being set up between him and Russian President Vladimir Putin. “President Putin wants to meet. He has said that even publicly and we have to get that war over with. That’s a bloody mess,” Trump said about the Russia-Ukraine war. Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Trump could be decisive in the outcome of the 34-month-old war with Russia and help stop Putin. In an interview with Sky News chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay, he said the “hot phase” of the war could end if NATO offered security guarantees for the part of Ukraine currently under Kyiv’s control. Zelendskyy added that the return of land occupied by Russia at the moment could be diplomatically negotiated later. Since the Russian invasion began, the US has committed more than $175bn in aid for Ukraine. It is uncertain if the aid will continue at that pace under Trump. Trump persistently complained that Washington’s NATO partners are not spending enough on defence.

AI Summary:
South Korean police question presidential security service chief. Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials and police are planning a second attempt to bring Yoon into custody. Yoon made a short-lived declaration of martial law on Dec. 3. Constitutional Court has begun deliberating on whether to formally remove Yoon from office or reject the charges and reinstate him. There’s also speculation that police may attempt to detain Park and other leaders of the presidential security service before trying again to execute the warrant against Yoon. Park again criticized the efforts to detention Yoon, saying that the investigation should proceed in a manner “appropriate for the status of an incumbent president” Yoon’s lawyers accuse the police of trying to undermine the leadership of the presidential security service. The presidential security act mandates protection for Yoon, but does not authorize the service to block court-ordered detention. Some legal experts say the president’s action may have been illegal. Yoon would only comply with an arrest warrant issued by the Seoul Central District Court. They accuse the agency of deliberately choosing another court with an allegedly favorable judge.

AI Summary:
Royal Cam's popularity exploded during the coronavirus pandemic. The 24-hour livestream of the birds' breeding season was established to raise awareness. Millions have watched the stream since it began in 2016. During January, incubation season, an albatross sits on an egg. About once every 10 days, the second bird in the pair returns from feeding at sea to relieve the parent looking after the nest. The past two breeding seasons were the birds’ most successful ever, with 33 chicks each year. Pillière said the death of a chick from ingesting plastic in 2023 had prompted her to drastically reduce her household’s plastic use. The royal albatross has also crept into her work as a sculptor of animals.

AI Summary:
Meta’s use of fact-checking organisations will end abolished and the group will switch to a system of community notes instead. The move comes as tech executives brace for the arrival of incoming US President Donald Trump. Zuckerberg announced this week that Meta plans to roll this community note system out in the next coming months. Meta’s upcoming changes will take effect across its trio of major social media platforms. Facebook, Instagram and Threads are used by more than 3 billion people worldwide. Some experts see the move as politically motivated and could have negative implications. Twitter and Threads use third-party fact-checking organisations to verify authenticity and accuracy of content posted to each platform. These organisations evaluate content and flag misinformation for further scrutiny. Only Meta can remove content that violates its Community Standards and Ads policies. X’s Community Notes was piloted in 2021 and gained significant traction in 2023. The feature was designed to identify and highlight potentially misleading information on the platform. A Community Note typically provides a correction or clarification, frequently supported by a hyperlink to a reputable online source which can verify the information provided. Once approved by X as a Notes contributor, participants may rate other Notes as “Helpful” or “Not Helpful”. Meta has not outlined exactly how its community notes would work. Only those Notes which receive a final “Helpful” status are shown to all X users. There is debate about how well Community Notes work on X. Our mechanism tests reveal that this positive effect stems from consideration of users who had actively interacted with the misinformation (ie, observed influence),” Gao explained in the paper. Another research paper led by University of Luxembourg researchers published in April 2024 found the use of Community Notes reduced the spread of misleading posts by an average of 61.4 percent. The researchers examined 283 posts containing election claims that independent fact-checking organisations determined to be false or misleading. 209 out of 283 “misleading” posts in its sample were not being shown to all X users. The delay in moving a post to “helpful” status contributed to this. Fact-checking organisations have criticised the move, saying it is unnecessary and politically driven. Meta is deliberately aiming to placate the right wing as a second Trump presidency looms. Some experts in social media have cautioned that the change may open the door to an increase in misinformation appearing on Meta platforms. Others believe Meta may be pursuing favourable treatment from the Trump administration. Some big names in social media have actively welcomed the move. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and who will lead Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said, “This is cool” on a recent X post. Zuckerberg referred to other regions and countries in his video. “Europe has an ever-increasing number of laws, institutionalising censorship and making it difficult to build anything innovative there,” Zuckerberg said.

AI Summary:
The world has just experienced the first full year in which global temperatures exceeded 1.5C above pre-industrial times. The milestone was confirmed by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) on Friday, which said the climate crisis is pushing the planet’s temperature to levels never before experienced by modern humans. Each month in 2024 was the warmest or second-warmest for that month since records began. July 10 was the hottest day recorded by humans, with the globe averaging 17.16 degrees Celsius (62.89 degrees Fahrenheit), Copernicus found. Britain’s Met Office confirmed 2024’s likely breach of 1.5C, while estimating a slightly lower average temperature rise of 1.53C for the year. United States scientists are also expected to publish their 2024 climate data on Friday. The amount of water vapour in the planet’s atmosphere reached a record high in 2024. But even as the costs of these disasters spiral, the political will to invest in curbing emissions has waned in some countries. US President-elect Donald Trump has called climate change a 'hoax'
