• 20-year-old clinches title with four races to go

• Verstappen wins race ahead of Hamilton

Kimi Antonelli etched his name into the Formula One record books as world champion and as a deserved and popular winner whose verve and extraordinary skill has been thrilling to watch, turning what many thought might have been an unlikely title tilt into a triumphant march, sealed with tears of joy at the Mexican Grand Prix.

In taking his debut F1 title for Mercedes, the 20-year-old Antonelli, with his tousled hair and charming boyish looks, is the youngest driver to claim the sport’s crown and the first Italian to do so since Alberto Ascari won in 1953. It is Mercedes’ first drivers’ championship since Hamilton last won in 2020 and the team’s 10th.

Bowen Wan was on anti-seizure medication, and chatbot provided her with a tapering schedule to reduce dosage

A woman’s death from an epileptic seizure after she received dangerous advice from a chatbot has prompted her parents to sue OpenAI earlier this week.

The legal action is the latest lawsuit that in which plaintiffs allege that a bot provided counsel to a user that ultimately led to their death.

На прошедшей 26–30 октября конференции RIPE 93 в Софии участники обсудили, насколько европейская интернет‑инфраструктура защищена от американских санкций. Поводом стала история итальянского некоммерческого провайдера Autistici/Inventati, которого одно решение Минфина США фактически вынудило прекратить работу. Теперь специалисты задаются вопросом, что произойдёт, если подобные ограничения коснутся самого RIPE NCC, отвечающего за распределение и регистрацию IP‑адресов в Европе, на Ближнем Востоке и в части Центральной Азии.

26 августа 2026 года американское Управление по контролю за иностранными активами (OFAC) внесло Autistici/Inventati в список пособников терроризма. Организация существовала с 2001 года и бесплатно предоставляла защищённую почту, хостинг и другие средства связи политическим и общественным движениям. Её создали активисты антикапиталистического движения, которые сами выбирали пользователей, разделяющих их убеждения. Американские власти обвинили коллектив в предоставлении инфраструктуры организациям из террористических списков, в том числе Рабочей партии Курдистана (PKK). Сам провайдер обвинения отверг, заявив, что не организовывал деятельность пользователей и не получал законных требований прекратить обслуживание кого‑либо из них — но ему это, конечно, не помогло.

Aircraft had departed Austin-Bergstrom international airport and was headed to the Bahamas when it crashed

A business jet carrying nine people nose-dived into a South Florida neighborhood Sunday and erupted into a giant fireball that appeared to just miss homes near a busy roadway, killing everyone onboard.

Video recorded by people inside their cars captured the terrifying moment the Bahamas-bound aircraft plunged from the sky before striking near the Palm Beach county roadway and exploding. Flames flickered around chunks of pavement lining a crater as people milled about, expressing shock that it landed only feet from homes and inches from passing vehicles. Thick black smoke engulfed the crash site.

Judges hail Sofia Demetriades’s performance of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto as full of insights, poetry and maturity

A teenage violinist has won the BBC Young Musician competition 2026, in the first all-female final in the competition’s 48-year history.

The judges, Joanna MacGregor, Ben Gernon and Errollyn Wallen, hailed Sofia Demetriades’s performance of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto as full of insights, poetry and maturity.

It’s funny, tense, stunningly forceful – the excellence of this franchise’s return is a bright flash of hopeful defiance

We settle down in front of a fresh Blue Planet, trying to escape a weary sadness that stalks us from several angles. It is a new natural history show narrated by the 100-year-old David Attenborough, so there cannot be many more of those to enjoy. It is a Sunday-night showcase on BBC One, which is nothing like as significant a shared cultural event as it once was. The film-making can’t possibly be as revelatory as the original Blue Planet in 2001, and even the impact Blue Planet II had on conservation in 2017 feels unrepeatable: the attention it brought to plastic pollution in the ocean turned out to be a minor blow struck in a battle against environmental catastrophe that we have, since then, continued to lose.

But if we stop requiring it to be another landmark and appreciate it as just another wildlife series, Blue Planet III is a corker. Its excellence is a bright flash of hopeful defiance, and if it often falls into familiar patterns, that familiarity is a comfort.
