Image generated by Google Gemini Nosy neighbors in space are becoming a problem. Russian “inspector” satellites are once again in the spotlight after evidence emerged that two spacecraft have been maneuvering unusually close to critical communications satellites in orbit, raising concerns across the wider tech and satellite industries about surveillance, signal interception, and the growing militarization of orbital infrastructure. According to defense and intelligence sources, the satellites, known as Luch-1 and Luch-2, have been conducting sustained proximity operations near European government and commercial satellites and are believed to be part of Russia’s “inspector” satellite program. Orbital tracking data shows that…

Nigel Farage unveils Dan Thomas as Reform UK’s Welsh leader at a rally in Newport.
Ruud Gullit has used a bizarre and flawed analogy to criticise Virgil van Dijk for making “a lot of mistakes” for Liverpool this season. Van Dijk has been widely regarded as one of the best centre-backs in the world since joining Liverpool from Southampton in January 2018. But having signed a new two-year contract in the summer on the back of captaining the Reds to their second Premier League title, Van Dijk has made a number of blunders this term – never actually his fault though, of course. Gullit has hit out at the 34-year-old, though we’re not at all convinced…
The Gen-E’s trump card from an interior perspective is an unusual one for electric cars: luggage space. If you include the Gigabox – a large, drainable recess beneath the adjustable-height boot floor – there’s 523 litres of capacity, which is nothing short of colossal for a car in this segment (and at the more compact end of it, at that). The Gen-E also benefits from a frunk, which is useful for cables, and the boot can be opened electrically, which feels pleasingly grown-up.Inevitably, the driving position does feel perched, and the car’s raised floor poses greater problems in the back…
Image generated by Google Gemini AI is growing almost everywhere, and with that in mind, a company has something true to share.

The deal underscores a broader industry shift as security vendors race to address the risks introduced by large language models, copilots, and autonomous AI agents operating at scale. The acquisition strengthens Varonis’ ability to help organizations adopt safe, compliant, and trustworthy AI by…
I have a love-hate relationship with Spotify that might just be leaning more towards love today. While I struggle with some of the company’s choices about the type of content it allows on its platform, I have always had a soft spot for its Wrapped roundups and the monthly audiobook hours included with my Premium subscription. For those like me, Spotify’s news today will likely enhance the appeal of its audiobook offerings. It’s announcing a partnership with Bookshop.org — which lets indie bookstores sell their wares online through a unified platform — allowing users to buy physical books from within its app, and launching…
Arne Slot is “very pleased” with the signing of Jeremy Jacquet as “not stupid” Liverpool prepare for a future without Virgil van Dijk.
The EU’s leaders recently accepted an industry proposal for a new class of small, low-cost cars as European manufacturers struggle to remain competitive while being forced into electrification. Named E-car, this takes inspiration from Japan’s thriving kei jidosha (‘light vehicle’) class, which arose from a very different scenario in 1949. Pre-war Japan lagged far behind Western nations in its motorisation, but it did produce vehicles – albeit predominantly motorbikes and three-wheeled trucks, of which annual production peaked at just 15,000. The default transport for commerce remained ox-drawn carts; for individuals it had quickly become the bicycle. Japanese-built cars were expensive…
The dramatic progress of AI and its impact on both the economy and society at large dominated the conversation throughout the World Economic Forum at the Swiss resort of Davos. For many, this will have prompted the view that enterprises are on the precipice of epochal change, through either the advent of artificial general intelligence (AGI) or AI sweeping away the old ways of how enterprise software is designed, built, and run. But let’s take a step back for a moment. For all the talk about AGI at Davos, the short timelines for its arrival that were floated in…
