The UK government is set to approve a major research effort exploring whether dimming the sun could help fight climate change, with over $66 million earmarked for experiments and analysis.

Overseen by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (Aria), the initiative will focus on controversial geo-engineering techniques, including spraying aerosolized particles into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight and potentially cool the planet.

Scientists point to natural examples, such as volcanic eruptions, that have caused temporary global cooling, but warn that deliberate interventions could trigger unintended and possibly catastrophic disruptions to weather patterns.

Other methods under study include marine cloud brightening-using sea salt to make clouds more reflective-and thinning cirrus clouds, which trap heat. All options remain contentious, with critics arguing that geo-engineering could undermine efforts to reduce carbon emissions at their source.

Aria, inspired by America's DARPA agency, has over $1 billion to spend over four years on high-risk, high-reward research. Led by Professor Mark Symes, the new climate programme could involve small outdoor experiments. The agency also suggested that insights gained could eventually support efforts to terraform other planets.

A study has found that women say over 13,000 more words per day than men. On average, women use about 20,000 words daily, while men use around 7,000.

Researchers suggest this difference is linked to brain structure and communication styles, with women generally being more expressive and social.

The study highlights the role of language in emotional bonding and how communication patterns vary significantly between genders in everyday life.

Norway has been ranked as the safest country to drive in, recording just 21 road d*aths per million people in 2022-the lowest in Europe.

This achievement is attributed to its 'Vision Zero' policy, strict speed and alcohol regulations, and a culture that prioritizes road safety.

Comprehensive driver education and well-maintained infrastructure further contribute to Norway's exemplary road safety record. OBJ

The UAE has become the first country to let artificial intelligence draft, review and update its federal and local laws, a move anchored by a newly-created Regulatory Intelligence Office.

The Al-driven system will work alongside human officials, building a real-time database of legislation, court rulings and public-service data so it can suggest tweaks on the fly and, according to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, make lawmaking faster and more precise.

Cabinet projections say the technology could slash drafting timelines by 70%, cut administrative costs in half and, by 2030, help lift GDP by roughly 35% as part of the nation's long-running Al agenda that started with appointing the world's first Al minister, Omar Sultan Al Olama, back in 2017.

A teen girl and her mother are speaking out after the 16-year-old escaped a man who allegedly stalked and harassed her, an incident that was caught on camera.

In surveillance video obtained by Philadelphia ABC station WPVI, Ariana MacMillan can be seen walking home along a busy road outside of Philadelphia when a man begins walking closer to her and, according to Ariana, making inappropriate comments.

According to Ariana, she felt scared, thinking the man might "kill her," and made a quick decision to run to a nearby shop. The shop owner called the police on her behalf shortly after.

The man has now been charged with stalking and harassment, according to Ridley Township Police in Folsom, Pennsylvania.

Dubai just approved Jebel Ali Beach, a 6.6-kilometre stretch set to be the city's longest public shoreline.

Spanning 330 hectares, the plan layers five kilometres of sand, a 1.6-kilometre mangrove walk, dive spots, kid zones and a turtle-rehab sanctuary where guests can watch rescues glide home.

Sheikh Hamdan frames it as step one in bumping public beaches by 400 percent while the Metro races to 140 stations by 2040 and Al Maktoum Airport gears up for 260 million travelers on a Dhs128 billion makeover.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and law enforcement from the state of Florida have arrested 780 migrants who are in the U.S. illegally in a four-day operation that began Monday, according to statistics obtained by ABC News.

The operation, dubbed "Operation Tidal Wave," uses ICE's 287(g) authority, which allows for state and local law enforcement agencies to be deputized and to arrest those in the U.S. illegally.

President Donald Trump signed a major executive order aimed at accelerating deep-sea mining for critical minerals like nickel, copper, and rare earth elements.

The move is intended to counter China's control over global mineral supply chains by promoting U.S. exploration and extraction in both American and international waters.

In the order, Trump emphasized the United States' "core national security and economic interest" in leading deep-sea science and seabed resource development. The directive calls for faster permitting under the Deep Seabed Hard Minerals Act of 1980 and streamlines processes for mining permits along the U.S. outer continental shelf and in international areas.

The controversial practice of deep-sea mining uses heavy machinery to extract potato-sized mineral nodules from the ocean floor, which are vital for technologies like electric vehicle batteries, wind turbines, and solar panels. Supporters argue it could reduce dependence on land-based mining, while environmental groups warn of severe, unpredictable impacts on marine ecosystems.

Critics, including Greenpeace USA, condemned the move, accusing the Trump administration of bypassing the United Nations' efforts to regulate seabed mining. The International Seabed Authority (ISA) continues to work on global standards, but Trump's order signals an aggressive U.S. push into deep-sea mining despite mounting environmental concerns.

During NOAA's July 27, 2021 dive on Retriever Seamount, the Okeanos Explorer team used an ROV to capture a photograph that resembles SpongeBob and Patrick from the Nickelodeon show!

The sponge shown is a glass sponge in the genus Hertwigia, and the starfish is likely Chondraster grandis-both native to Atlantic seamount habitats.

But unlike their cartoon counterparts, Chondraster sea stars prey on sponges, so this "Patrick" may have been eyeing its yellow neighbor for dinner.

Lil Baby has a Tesla Cybertruck finished in a mirror-gloss red wrap, shifting the stainless-steel pickup into full celebrity-spec territory

The build goes all in with matching red window tint, oversized Forgiato wheels, and Nitto off-road rubber.

Subtle? No. Unmistakable? Yes.

It slots into a fleet that already parks a Ferrari SF90 Stradale, a Brabus-tuned G-Wagon, and a Virgil Abloh-edition Mercedes-Maybach S680.

A paper in Nutritional Metabolism by Bridget M. Hron finds that opting for two burgers in place of a single burger with fries may actually offer a better macronutrient profile.

Registered dietitian Emily Field echoes this view, noting that the extra protein, fat, and carbs from two patties can help stabilize blood sugar, which in turn lessens mid-meal energy dips and late-day cravings.

Rather than labeling foods as strictly "good" or "bad," this strategy encourages a more nuanced look at how each component contributes to overall nutrient balance-empowering people to choose meals that support sustained energy and long-term health.

Jeff Bezos' 417-foot superyacht Koru, built by Dutch yard Oceanco, carries a reported price tag of about $500 million and ranks as the tallest sailing yacht in the world. But that's not the only impressive things about this Yacht: the annual costs are the most shocking thing about this luxury item.

Its three towering masts let it sail under wind power, yet keeping the vessel ready (crew of around 36, refits, fuel, insurance and prime-location dockage) still runs close to $25 million each year.

That bill is pocket change for the Amazon founder: analysts peg his 2024 wealth gains at roughly $8 million an hour, meaning Koru's annual upkeep is covered in just over three hours. The schooner has already been spotted from Mallorca to Miami, acting as the nautical arm of Bezos' recent Florida real-estate spree.

When Juliette Lamour was just 5 years old, she emptied her piggy bank-every last $61.38-and donated it to help those affected by the 2010 Haiti earthquake. No expectations, just pure-hearted generosity.

Thirteen years later, on her 18th birthday, she followed her grandfather's advice and bought her very first lottery ticket... then forgot about it.

Weeks later, she found out the winning $48 million ticket belonged to her.

Now a university student in Ontario, Juliette isn't letting the money change who she is. Her dream? To become a doctor, explore the world with her loved ones, and continue giving back to the people around her.

It's not about luck. It's about living with intention. And sometimes, life returns that energy in the most unexpected ways.

Apple is fast-tracking plans to assemble virtually every iPhone sold in the United States at Indian plants by late 2026, loosening its China grip as tariffs bite.

Confidential talks with longtime partner Foxconn and new ally Tata target shifting roughly 60 million units (about 80% of current U.S. volume) even though making an iPhone in India costs 5-10% more.

To cushion that premium, Apple chartered cargo flights in March that ferried 600 tons of phones worth $2 billion to America, sidestepping Beijing's triple-digit duties while paying a far lighter 26% levy on Indian imports. With three Indian factories live and two more rising, Tim Cook is betting India's manufacturing push.
