    “BERLIN (AP) — Robot dogs with hyper-realistic silicone heads modeled after world-renowned figures — including #ElonMusk, #MarkZuckerberg, #JeffBezos, Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso — can be seen roaming around a #Berlin museum, occasionally “pooing” printed images of their surroundings which they’ve previously captured with integrated #cameras.”

  2. Seems #APnews is definitely being carful about proven facts: “after the chaotic encounter Saturday that resulted in shots being fired”.

    I had feeling they didn’t know: “…but the affidavit does not directly say that Allen was responsible for shooting the officer.”

    And #apnews still frames it as Israel's war against 'insert resistance faction' here, instead of the expansionist agenda they are advancing whenever they think they can get away with it.

    Pres. Zelenskyy has warned that a prolonged US-Israeli war with #Iran is threatening the supply of vital Patriot missiles and boosting #Russia’s economy through surging oil prices.

    I think this is an AI image that misrepresents the scale of the attack

    In the APNews report webpage such a striking image as this was not included anywhere and Amazon was quoted as characterising the damage like this:
    "
    “These strikes have caused structural damage, disrupted power delivery to our infrastructure, and in some cases required fire suppression activities that resulted in additional water damage,” AWS said in an update on its online dashboard.
    "[1]

    This hardly sounds like the complete destruction in this image

    And there are several strange details
    • Most of the walls have been destroyed except exactly how much was needed to show the amazon web services logo
    • Despite part of this wall section being destroyed the logo wall-facade segments have been damaged rather than falling off segment at a time
    •The green vans look to be ambulances painted in british ambulance colors depsite UAE typically using blue and white vans (red for critical patients)[2]
    •The van behind that one is too small to be the same model, and the car behind looks ridiculously small compared to the other vans
    •There is a person standing in the rubble on the right for no discernable reason, and their head is either obscured or missing
    •The architecture decision to include a tiny strip of windows on the right side of the building is slightly unusual
    •The Burj Khalifa tower appears to be missing from the Dubai skyline

    If you must use AI generated images please at least tag them as such so as to not spread misinformation

  6. Israeli judge closes case of Palestinian teen’s death in prison despite evidence of starvation

    An investigation into the death of a #Palestinian teenager in an Israeli prison has been closed by an Israeli judge, who said even though it’s clear the boy was starved, the cause of death is undeterminable, a newly-unsealed court decision has revealed.

    The ruling provided insight into #Israel’s handling of the case of 17-year-old Walid Ahmad, which gained notoriety because he was the first Palestinian under 18 to die in Israeli detention, said Palestinian officials.

    Ahmad, who was described by his family as a healthy teenager, spent six months in Israel’s Megiddo prison before he collapsed in March 2025.

    #Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday said Mexico will continue to have Cuban doctors work in the country at a time when other nations across the Americas have ditched their agreements with #Cuba’s government in the face of mounting #US pressure.

    “It’s a bilateral agreement that helps #Mexico a lot,” said Sheinbaum in her morning press briefing when asked if she would uphold the agreement or give in to pressures by the #Trump administration.

    The leader’s support of the Cuban #medical program comes as US President Donald Trump has suffocated Cuba by effectively cutting the island off from #oil imports and has sought to isolate the #Caribbean nation in an effort to push for regime change.

    Guillermo Beltrán walked away with two heavy bags on Thursday, each containing an essential haul — rice, beans, amaranth and crackers — complemented by a bottle of oil, large cans of sardines and canned peaches. Every label carried the same simple phrase “Made in #Mexico.”

    Beltrán, a 70-year-old Cuban father of two, was one of several hundred recipients of #Mexican #humanitarian assistance, ordered by President #ClaudiaSheinbaum in support of the island nation as it faces blackouts and severe fuel shortages worsened by a #US #oil #embargo.

    “I feel very grateful,” said Beltrán. “The Mexican president should be praised to the skies for showing such concern and courage.”

  10. Trump’s Board of Peace painted a rosy picture of Gaza’s future. On the ground, there is only despair

    At the inaugural meeting of his Board of Peace in Washington, President #Trump spoke of billions of dollars pledged to rebuild the #Gaza Strip and a “new and harmonious” #MiddleEast rising from the ashes of war. Videos aired at the meeting showed a future of gleaming high-rises and new soccer pitches.

    There was no sign of such optimism in Gaza, where #Palestinians who have spent months or even years in squalid displacement camps or the rubble of their homes hold out little hope for change.

    “We see nothing of that on the ground. There is no hope. Education and health care are gone. There is no life,” he said.

    #Israel says Gaza will not be rebuilt until #Hamas has laid down its weapons...that has emerged as a major sticking point.

  11. ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into wall triggers tension at a #Minnesota hospital

    Intensive care nurses immediately doubted the word of federal #immigration officers when they arrived at a #Minneapolis hospital with a #Mexican #immigrant who had broken bones in his face and skull.

    #ICE agents initially claimed Alberto Castañeda Mondragón had tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall,” according to court documents filed by a lawyer seeking his release.

    But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the 31-year-old’s brain, said three nurses familiar with the case.

  12. Trump’s threats over Greenland draw warnings and profanities at global forum – AP News

    World News

    DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — There were grave warnings from European leaders and expletives from California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday as leaders at the World Economic Forum grappled with the Greenland crisis and heightened concerns over global trade.

    The gathering in Davos, Switzerland, comes as U.S. President Donald Trump continues to push for the seizure of Greenland and the imposition of related trade tariffs.

    French President Emmanuel Macron, wearing aviator sunglasses because of an eye infection, warned of a “new colonial approach” that would undermine decades of collaboration.

    Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister and former central banker, urged countries below the top tier of global power to continue multilateral cooperation with a new, “dense web of connections.”

    In their words: Trump’s threats over Greenland draw warnings and profanities at global forum

    And in the forum’s entrance hall, Newsom was the most blunt, telling European leaders: “It’s time to get serious and stop being complicit. It’s time to stand tall and firm – have a backbone.”

    Here’s a look at what attendees said:

    Gavin Newsom

    “I can’t take this complicity. People rolling over. I should’ve brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders,” the California governor and prominent Democrat said. “I hope people understand how pathetic they look on the world stage. I mean, at least from an American perspective, it’s embarrassing.” He added: “Diplomacy with Donald Trump? He’s a T-Rex. You mate with him or he devours you. One or the other … Wake up! Where the hell has everybody been? Stop with this (expletive) diplomacy of sort of niceties and somehow we’re all going to figure it out, saying one thing privately and another publicly. Have some spine, some goddamn (expletive).”

    Emmanuel Macron

    Before expressing his concern, the French president began his address with a joke: “It’s a time of peace, stability and predictability.”

    Warning major powers against the temptation of modern colonial adventures, he added: “It’s a shift towards a world without rules. Where international law is trampled underfoot and where the only law that seems to matter is that of the strongest, and imperial ambitions are resurfacing.” Then he took aim at the Trump administration, denouncing “competition from the United States of America, through trade agreements that undermine our export interests, demand maximum concessions, and openly aim to weaken and subordinate Europe, combined with an endless accumulation of new tariffs that are fundamentally unacceptable, even more so when they are used as leverage against territorial sovereignty.”

    Mark Carney

    “Great powers can afford for now to go it alone. They have the market size, the military capacity, and the leverage to dictate terms. Middle powers do not,” the Canadian prime minister said.

    “In a world of great power rivalry, the countries in between have a choice: compete with each other for favor or to combine to create a third path with impact,” he said. “(We) argue the middle powers must act together because if we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu.”

    Carney strongly opposed U.S. aspirations to expand its Arctic territory. “We stand firmly with Greenland and Denmark and fully support their unique right to determine Greenland’s future.”

    Scott Bessent

    With President Trump not due to address the elite global gathering until Wednesday, it fell to his treasury secretary to take up his defense in Switzerland.

    “I think our relations have never been closer,” Scott Bessent said, playing down the rift among Western countries over Greenland. ”Calm down the hysteria. Take a deep breath.”

    He added: “We are in the middle of President Trump’s policies. And of course, Europe is an ally, the U.S.-NATO membership is unquestioned. We are partners in trying to stop this tragic war between Russia and Ukraine, but that does not mean that we cannot have disagreements on the future of Greenland.”

    Bart De Wever

    Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever said that with Trump’s Greenland provocations, “so many red lines have been crossed” in Europe.
