Large parts of Dresden to be evacuated after 250kg WW2 bomb found
Much of the centre of the German city of Dresden will be evacuated on Wednesday, after the discovery of a large unexploded British World War Two flying bomb, BBC reported.
The 250kg (551lb) device was discovered near the former Carola Bridge, which collapsed in the Elbe River in 2024.
The fire brigade in Dresden says this is the city's largest evacuation to date for such an incident, affecting around 18,000 residents, tourists and commuters.
Meta urged to boost oversight of fake AI videos
Meta should do more to address the "proliferation" of fake content made with artificial intelligence (AI) tools on its platforms, the social media giant's own advisors have said, BBC reported.
The 21-person Oversight Board raised the concerns as it rebuked the company for leaving up an AI-generated video that claimed to show extensive damage in Haifa, Israel by Iranian forces without a label.
It called on the company to overhaul its AI rules, warning that an increase in fake AI videos related to global military conflicts had "challenged the public's ability to distinguish fabrication from fact ... risking a general distrust of all information."
Russia's deportation of Ukrainian children amounts to crime against humanity, UN says
The deportation and forcible transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia constitutes a crime against humanity and a war crime, the UN has said, BBC reported.
A new report by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine says Russian authorities "at the highest level" have deported "thousands" of children from the occupied areas of Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin's "direct involvement" has been "visibile form the outset," it adds.
Egypt raises fuel prices
Egyptian Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly’s government raised the fuel price saying that it is also important to make sure local production goes on and to balance the economy, AP reported.
Egypt priced fuel by up to 17 percent after the Middle East war has sent prices of oil soaring.
Prime Minister Madbouly said that the government had to make a choice between maintaining current fuel prices which might have imposed heavy costs on the state and raising them to shield industrial and business operations from repercussions of war, according to AP.
