Voice-operated care robots are being marketed at older people who spend most of their time alone at home.
However, there are also concerns that technology pretending to be older people’s friends actually makes things worse.
CEO and co-founder of Intuition Robotics Dor Skuler said: “As humans we have a lot of social needs, we have a need for companionship, we have a need for social interaction and we felt that technology has reached a point where an artificially-enabled robot can do that.”
Retiree Beryl Voss explains why she uses care companion robot ElliQ at home and how it works.

Donald Trump says the United States will not attack Iran ‘at any time’ before the midterm elections at the start of November.
His comments follow US media reports that the Pentagon was preparing plans for fresh strikes and a return to combat operations.
Elsewhere the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen attack airports across Saudi Arabia, with smoke billowing over Riyadh as the conflict continues to escalate.
And the USS Abraham Lincoln returns to California after a record-breaking deployment to the Middle East, which was plagued by reports of low morale and attempted suicides.

The Houthis in Yemen have attacked the presidential palace in the port city of Aden – the seat of the internationally-recognised government.
Meanwhile, President Masoud Pezeshkian has told Iranians that the country is facing its most intense blockade since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and has accused the US of seeking to provoke public protests.
The Saudi-led military coalition fighting Yemen’s Houthis says it has intercepted a missile in the Medina region. The Houthis have threatened more attacks on Saudi Arabia but have denied carrying out this one.
Finally, according to reports, the US is considering using its biggest non-nuclear bomb against Iran if President Donald Trump should decide to renew combat in the war that has hit a deadlock.

Heavy fighting has been taking place in Yemen, as pro-government forces take on the country’s Houthi rebels, whose recent attacks on neighbouring Saudi Arabia have seized the world’s attention.
Yemen’s long civil war has become impossible to ignore, as the latest attacks by the Houthis, who are funded by Iran, play into the wider conflicts in the Middle East.
The Houthis took control of Yemen’s capital in 2014, ousting the country’s internationally-recognised government. A year later a Saudi-led coalition of Arab states intervened, trying to dislodge the Houthis. Despite years of devastating air strikes, that hasn’t worked.
Now Yemen’s Houthi fighters – already a threat to global shipping with attacks in the Red Sea – are an increasing threat to Saudi Arabia. And they provide leverage for their backers in Iran, Saudi’s regional rival.
The BBC has been given rare access to Yemen and the latest desert battlefields.

Now YPG and YPJ has been armed by Peshmarga from Eastern Kurdistan, by U.S. aircraft. and Peshmarga from eastern Kurdistan will get to go through Turkey to help Kobane. so DAESH get big losses. and most of all, Turkey is going to be disappointed in DAESH.

When Israel defended itself and millions of its citizens who were under the attack from ideologically same group like ISIL, the only thing BBC was interested were the local "civilians casualties" Nothing beside the most disgusting manipulations with human emotions regarding children could be seen from this well known world center of Antisemitism and Anti-Israeli hypocricy
Now when Obama and Cameroon are attacking ISIL and causing at minimum 3 times as many collateral damage and civilian victims, we did not even hear a single story.

The Turkish regime is the biggest terrorist, they're providing weapons to ISIS so they slaughter the Kurds, disallowing The coalition to use their bases to attack the IS, the coalition airplanes are coming from 2000km away making the raids ineffective

What I don't understand, if anyone can explain, is with U.S. satellite technology plus spotter planes and drones, how can ISIS move across large stretches of open land in convoys without every vehicle and troop concentration being wiped out by air power. We should be able to completely destroy any convoy in open land. Why is that not happening?

Is anybody from Germany here? I'm trying to help a friend of mine who's a journalist student who is trying to find the whereabouts of the German rapper Deso Dogg/ Abu Talha Al Almani as well as of 2 former Arsenal players Fábio Poças/ Abdu Rahman Al Andalus and Abu Issa Al Andaluzi. If anybody could give me a twitter or facebook account of them, it would be great.
