With a new Resident Evil movie around the corner, BBC Newsbeat’s Tom Richardson sat down with the movie’s director, Zach Cregger, the brains behind other iconic horror movies such as Weapons and Barbarian, as well as the movie’s main character, Bryan, played by Austin Abrams.

Saudi Arabia has closed a critical oil pipeline after it was attacked by drones launched from Iraq, as conflict in the Middle East widens.

Iraq said it had fired a military commander and launched an investigation after admitting the drone attack on its neighbour’s East-West pipeline had originated in one of its provinces bordering Iran.

The 1,200km (745 mile) pipeline has helped Saudi Arabia – the world’s largest crude oil exporter – bypass the Strait of Hormuz.

The incident comes amid a major advance by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, putting more pressure on global oil shipping routes as the US-Iran war stretches into its seventh month.

A leading safety researcher at the AI developer Anthropic has warned he believes there is a greater than 10% chance it “could kill all humans” within the next decade.

Evan Hubinger saidthe risk from the models which currently exist was “low” but the technology may develop and improve itself soon to the point where it posed an existential risk to humanity.

He did not spell out how he thought AI systems could in future result in humans being wiped out. But his comments are the latest in a series of increasingly stark warnings about AI, with the debate shifting from whether it truly poses a risk to how big that risk is.

Hubinger’s intervention came in response to comments from Jacob Coxon, an AI researcher who has just quit Anthropic and previously worked at OpenAI. “Neither company is acting responsibly,” he wrote. “These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionise any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources.”
