US drone: The hidden world beneath the Black Sea – BBC News
A new personalised vaccine given in combination with a drug has stopped skin cancer returning in patients during a trial, representing a potentially watershed moment in cancer treatment. Scientists used mRNA technology, which was used for some Covid-19 vaccines.
But that technology – and vaccines more generally – have become increasingly controversial in the United States since the Covid-19 pandemic. The Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, is a vaccine sceptic.
In August 2025 cancelled $500m (£376m) in funding for mRNA vaccine research. The move impacted 22 projects being led by major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Moderna, for vaccines against bird flu and other viruses, according to Kennedy’s department.
We speak to Tom Whipple, host of the BBC’s Inside Science programme, about the science of this new vaccine. And we ask how funding cuts for vaccine research could impact health outcomes not just for Americans, but for the world.

Historic first as Chinese robot beats Usain Bolt’s 100m world record at Beijing games | BBC News
A Chinese humanoid robot has run 100 metres in 9.39 seconds in a preliminary heat at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, surpassing the men’s world record time held by Jamaican sprinting great Usain Bolt.
Tiangong Ultra, developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, won its heat at the opening of the games’ second edition. The robot overtook smartphone maker Honor’s Lightning near the finish after falling behind early in the race. Lightning finished in 9.47 seconds, also faster than the 9.58-second record Bolt set at the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin.
The results marked a remarkable improvement from last year’s inaugural games, when Tiangong Ultra won the 100 metres in 21.50 seconds. Tiangong also won the world’s first humanoid robot half-marathon, held in Beijing last year.
The 100 metres is among 51 events at the games, which include football, dancing and contests to complete industrial tasks.
China is promoting humanoid robots as a strategic emerging industry, with policymakers and companies betting that advances in AI and hardware will accelerate their use in manufacturing, logistics and consumer applications.
Investor enthusiasm for the sector was underscored recently when shares in Unitree, China’s best-known humanoid robot maker, jumped more than five fold in its Shanghai trading debut, giving the company a market value of about $50 billion.
This year’s games have drawn 2,056 robots from 666 teams across 16 countries and six continents, up from 280 teams at the inaugural event.

There was a time when sleeping was simple – but now, it’s a bit more complicated.
Sleep has rules – there’s the right bedtime, the right temperature, and the right amount of deep sleep.
It’s not just something we do, it’s something we measure.
But is all this number punching actually helping us rest?

Victory ✌️ to western plutocracy and military industrial complex plutocrats ruling the west and who own the media and politicians. ✌️
War means new weapons markets and profits and clearing of old inventory. 👌
Profits means more money 💰 for mansions and super yachts and private jets and other good things in life. 😊
Victory ✌️ to the profiteers of war. ✌️

What would you expect from Joe Biden? Well, To many Americans think that General Milley is an embarrassment to the United State’s military. Especially, After the Afghanistan withdrawal. (One of many things, For instance, PUBLICLY Accuses a standing president of ‘Teargassing DC protesters’. Afterwards, The world found out that the statement was fabricated.). Why he hasn’t faced a ‘Court martial’? That’s a question Americans would like answered. Unfortunately, The more incompetent you are, the more you advance in your government career.

"…they might discover something they haven't bargained for."
as if tsar vlad the intriguer/invader would care.
only if he could spin it into more propaganda for his Greater Russia illusion.
the one that says that Moscow is the natural inheritor of the Byzantine empire.
but, all he is really interested in, are the gas fields off Ukraine's SW coast.

POS made in divided states of america. This junk can't even stand fuel dump pressure. Russia already retrieved it and will share specs with China and Iran. In a fortnight China and Iran will have a draft jamming device cooked up. Man the yanks don't want to feed and house their homeless yet they go around spending millions of dollars putting their noses in everybodys business with things like this POS drone only to be put down. What they gonna do about it now. If yanks are really tough why don't they declare war on Russia and put boots on the ground in ukraine right now? And don't give me this bulshit talk of first nuclear strike – only cowards bring guns to a fist fight. Yanks are scared shitless of seeing yanks in body bags. Yanks cant even fight one vs one fair and square they have to bring in their friends (other nato morons) to jump you or a gun (nuclear weapons) to a fist fight (conventional weapons)
