Google’s AI Overviews, which appear at the top of search results and are seen by about 2 billion users each month, cite YouTube more often than any medical website when answering health-related questions, according to a new study. The research, conducted by SE Ranking, analysed responses to more than 50,000 health queries made in Germany. It found that YouTube accounted for 4.43% of all citations used in AI Overviews, more than hospitals, government health agencies, medical associations or academic institutions. YouTube is owned by Google. Researchers warned this matters because YouTube is not a medical publisher and hosts content from…
Focus Turns to the Future of Donbas Fresh rounds of peace talks aimed at ending Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine are continuing in Abu Dhabi, bringing together representatives from Ukraine, Russia and the United States. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said discussions are expected to centre heavily on the future of the eastern Donbas region, a key flashpoint in the nearly four-year conflict. Zelenskyy said he has been receiving constant updates from his delegation, describing the talks as significant given how rare such trilateral meetings have been in recent years. While he stressed it was too early to draw firm conclusions,…

It shows Crocs repurposed as flower pots. It features cheeseburger-shaped eyeshadow. It even presents a gingerbread house built from vegetables.

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, a magnetic-levitation (maglev) train expected to reach speeds of up to 603.5 km/h, making it the fastest train ever built. The project is led by Central Japan Railway Company and will run on the new Chūō Shinkansen line. At full operation, the train is expected to cut travel time between Tokyo and Nagoya to about 40 minutes, with a future extension to Osaka reducing the Tokyo–Osaka journey to roughly one hour. By comparison, Europe’s fastest conventional trains — such as France’s TGV or Italy’s Italo — operate at around 300–350 km/h. The extreme speed…
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 agreement resolves a long-standing 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 deal, American owners now license the system, which…
Influencers linked to the online “manosphere” are convincing healthy young men that normal tiredness, stress or changes in libido mean they have 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 promoted as essential to masculinity, despite being medically unnecessary for most young men. The lead author, Emma Grundtvig Gram of the University of Copenhagen, said influencers often portray normal experiences as health problems, driving demand for tests and supplements. Medical experts warned that such testing offers limited insight, can lead to unnecessary treatment,…
Bilateral talks, not a NATO decision Any new security arrangement for Greenland brokered by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte must be formally presented to all NATO allies before it can move forward, Spain’s foreign minister has said. Speaking to Euronews on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, José Manuel Albares stressed that the discussions so far amount to a bilateral exchange rather than an agreed NATO position. According to Albares, the talks between Rutte and US President Donald Trump do not represent an alliance-wide decision. “It is not NATO,” he said, adding that it was simply the…
