Google’s AI Overviews feature cites YouTube more than any medical website when responding to health-related search queries, according to a German study that analysed more than 50,000 searches. Researchers found YouTube accounted for 4.43% of all citations, ahead of hospitals, government health portals, medical associations and academic institutions.

AI Overviews appeared in more than 82% of health searches examined. While Google says its AI summaries prioritise high-quality and…
Focus Turns to Donbas as Talks Resume Peace negotiations aimed at ending Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine are continuing in Abu Dhabi, with representatives from Ukraine, Russia and the United States meeting for a second day on Saturday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the future of the eastern Donbas region is central to the discussions, which come nearly four years after Moscow launched its invasion. Zelenskyy said Ukrainian officials are keeping him closely updated, calling the talks significant because such three-way meetings have been rare in recent years. While stressing it is too early to draw firm conclusions, he said…
Every month, hundreds of millions of users visit Pinterest to explore new styles and creative ideas. One popular page called “the most ridiculous things” offers unusual inspiration. It shows Crocs repurposed as flower pots. It features cheeseburger-shaped eyeshadow. It even presents a gingerbread house built from vegetables.

Pinterest chief executive Bill Ready said the platform now functions like an AI-powered shopping…
Claims Spark Anger in London The UK government has criticised Donald Trump after the US president suggested NATO allies played only a limited role in Afghanistan, comments that have caused deep anger among British politicians and military families. In an interview with Fox News, Trump claimed allied troops stayed away from the front lines, appearing unaware that 457 British service personnel died during the conflict that followed the September 11 attacks. Official UK figures show that 405 of those deaths were the result of hostile action, underlining the scale of Britain’s involvement. In response, the UK said on Friday that…
Japan is developing the L0 Series, the world’s fastest train, capable of reaching speeds of up to 603.5 km/h. The magnetic-levitation (maglev) train is being built by Central Japan Railway Company and is designed to slash journey times on the new Chūō Shinkansen line. Once operational, the L0 Series is expected to cut travel between Tokyo and Nagoya to about 40 minutes, with an eventual extension to Osaka that would link the three cities into a single mega-region. By comparison, Europe’s fastest services, such as France’s TGV or Italy’s Italo, run at around 300–350 km/h. The train’s speed comes from…
TikTok has finalized a deal that guarantees the app will continue operating in the United States. The company announced the agreement on Thursday, ending years of political and legal uncertainty. The deal settles a long-running dispute between Washington and Beijing. The conflict began during Donald Trump’s first presidency, when he attempted to ban TikTok over national security concerns. US law threatened to block the app in January 2025 unless ByteDance sold its American operations. Trump delayed enforcement multiple times after returning to office. The central issue involved TikTok’s recommendation algorithm. Under the agreement, American owners now license the system, which…
Influencers linked to the online “manosphere” are persuading healthy young men that normal tiredness, stress or changes in libido are signs of low testosterone, according to a study in Social Science and Medicine. Researchers analysed popular posts on TikTok and Instagram, finding that routine testosterone testing is being marketed as essential to masculinity, despite being medically unnecessary for most young men. The lead author from the University of Copenhagen said influencers often frame normal experiences as medical problems, driving demand for tests and supplements. Experts warn this “medicalisation of masculinity” carries risks, including unnecessary treatment, side effects and missed underlying…
A proposed security arrangement for Greenland, negotiated by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, will need to be put before all NATO allies before it can move forward, according to Spain’s foreign minister speaking to Euronews. José Manuel Albares said the discussions revealed so far amount to a bilateral exchange between Rutte and US President Donald Trump, not a decision taken by the alliance as a whole. “This is not NATO,” Albares said, stressing that any such framework must ultimately be debated by the NATO Council (Euronews). Limited details and growing unease Albares said allies have not been briefed beyond Trump’s…
