US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents killed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a father, in Maine, in what observers describe as an increasingly secretive phase of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

Guardian columnist George Monbiot argues that expanding Heathrow with a third runway would be an expensive disaster for Britain and the planet, saying it contradicts climate goals and the need to fly less.

The criticism is drawing attention and engagement online, tapping into broader debate about whether mainstream media underreport riots and civil unrest abroad.

Scientists are warning that plastic pollution and other contaminants could interfere with bioluminescent organisms in the deep ocean, potentially dulling the light-based signals many species rely on to hunt, mate and defend themselves. The concern adds a new dimension to worries about marine debris, as researchers say rising pollution in deep waters threatens one of the planet's most widespread forms of communication among living things.

Sudanese authorities say drones belonging to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces struck the governor's residence in Blue Nile state, along with civilian sites.

Commentators are arguing that the scale of investment flowing into artificial intelligence is unsustainable, noting that the sector is expected to make up close to 9% of the entire US economy within a decade.
