‘Nobody will win’: Zelenskyy adviser warns of mutual destruction if war with Russia continues
Serhii Beskrestnov, Volodymyr Zelenskyy's defence technology adviser, has warned of mutual destruction if Russia and Ukraine continue to engage in long-range strikes, stating that neither side can entirely prevail. He also suggested that elderly people should be evacuated in case Russian bombing could disrupt Kyiv's energy supply. However, he noted that Ukraine has the means to strike back, with plans to launch 1,000 drones a night to strike economic and military targets in Russia and halt commercial air traffic. He warned that the conflict is essentially deadlocked on the frontline, with both countries' air defences unable to keep up with the number of missiles and drones available. Vladimir Putin's military has been ordered to prepare mass strikes on Ukraine’s energy facilities, showing no sign of halting the war.

Toothless and pointless: Why the UN Security Council is broken beyond repair
The United Nations Security Council, established 81 years ago, has been criticised for being useless and toothless. The Council, which condemned the murder of 26 civilians based on their religion, met behind closed doors in May 2026 and issued no action after a terrorist attack in Pakistan. The President of the Security Council has no general power to prevent a member from requesting a meeting, but the rotating Presidency, which holds procedural authority over the meeting schedule, may approve it. No other member of the Council comes close to matching China's frequency of holds on terror listings. The council has not held a formal meeting on Kashmir since 5 November 1965 and has not terminated UNMOGIP. The Security Council met 255 times in 2025 and adopted 44 resolutions, its lowest output since 1991. In November 2024, the rebel Rapid Support Forces won 14 votes to lift their siege of El Ffur, but Russia vetoed it. The British proposal demanding that the Sudanese Armed Forces and Britain share the drafting pen or share the draft of items before the drafting of 34 items before a war began.

Your smartwatch may not be telling you the whole truth about calories burned, researchers say - United Kingdom
A study by Florida International University has found that smartwatches may not be telling you the truth about calories burned during a workout, potentially leading to significant weight loss. The study tested four fitness trackers against clinical lab equipment and found that they overcount how many calories people burned. The errors were particularly prevalent for people with higher body fat, who may be more likely to track calories. The researchers found that Apple was the most accurate, while Garmin and Samsung overestimated calories burned the most. The next phase of the research will look at how the watches estimate calories during training.

One in six people with a legal problem consult AI chatbots for help - United Kingdom
The UK's legal thinktank, Justice and research group Administrative Fairness Lab, have found that one in six people with legal problems consult AI chatbots for help. The survey, which included 3,287 people, revealed that 16% of them had been involved in a legal dispute over the past two years and used an AI chatbot for help, information or advice. Many people asked direct questions about legal rights and options, such as a legal reasoning on a disputed parking fine or a request for legal assistance. AI was also asked to check lawyers' conduct and answer questions about their use of Google Maps to verify a building's height. Justice deputy legal director Ellen Lefley said the challenge is to ensure reliable support and address unmet legal needs.

46,590 tracked objects, another 1.2 million we can't see: The mess humans have created in space - United States
Space debris, which includes defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, fragments from explosions or collisions, and smaller pieces such as paint flakes and shards of metal. The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched on August 5 after drifting through space for over 18 months, resulting in a high-speed collision that created a fresh crater 18 metres wide and less than three metres deep. The impact site was covered by bright rays of excavated lunar material and no intact wreckage was detected. Space agency mission records reveal that the Moon already contains over 200 tonnes of material from past human missions, some abandoned, some deliberately placed. The European Space Agency's Space Debris Office estimates that over 7,320 rocket launches since 1957 have placed about 27,490 satellites in Earth’s orbit, with roughly 18,840 remaining in space. The combined mass of everything humans have left in orbit exceeds 17,000 tonnes, more than twice the iron in the Eiffel Tower. Space surveillance networks regularly track about 46,590 catalogued objects and an estimated 1.2 million pieces between 1 cm and 10 cm in size.
