Google’s AI Overviews cite YouTube more often than any medical website when answering health-related search queries, according to a new study that raises concerns about the reliability of information seen by billions of users each month. Researchers at SE Ranking analysed more than 50,000 German-language health searches and found YouTube accounted for 4.43% of all sources cited in AI Overviews, making it the single most referenced domain. No hospital network, government health authority or academic medical institution came close. The next most cited sources were a German public broadcaster and established medical reference sites, but at significantly lower rates. The…

Tripartite negotiations involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States are ongoing in Abu Dhabi, aiming to chart a path toward ending Russia’s nearly four-year full-scale invasion. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the discussions will focus heavily on the future of the Donbas region, a central point of the conflict. Progress Amid Uncertainty The talks, which began Friday and are set to continue into Saturday, were described by the White House as productive. The UAE’s foreign ministry framed them as part of broader efforts “to promote dialogue and identify political solutions to the crisis.” Zelenskyy noted the importance of these meetings,…

U.S. stock markets continued their upward trend as investors welcomed tariff relief and positive economic data. Small-cap stocks reached record highs, boosting confidence across Wall Street. The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq all posted gains, reflecting optimism about trade policy and corporate earnings. Analysts say the market rally shows that investors are encouraged by reduced trade risks and strong economic performance. Tariff relief played a key role in the market boost.

Every month, hundreds of millions of people visit Pinterest to hunt for new styles and ideas. One popular page called “the most ridiculous things” delivers bizarre inspiration. It shows Crocs reused as flower pots. It features cheeseburger-shaped eyeshadow. It even displays a gingerbread house built from vegetables. Many users do not realise the technology behind these suggestions is not always American. Pinterest now experiments with Chinese artificial intelligence models to improve its recommendation engine. The platform increasingly relies on this technology to personalise shopping and discovery. Pinterest chief executive Bill Ready said the company has reshaped the platform into an…

Trump’s Remarks Spark Outrage The UK has hit back at former US President Donald Trump after he suggested NATO troops did not fight on the front lines in Afghanistan. In an interview with Fox News, Trump appeared unaware that 457 British soldiers died in the conflict following the September 11 attacks, claiming allies “stayed a little back, a little off the front lines.” UK officials emphasized that 405 of the 457 British casualties were killed in hostile action, highlighting the sacrifices made by troops who faced real danger in the field. NATO’s Collective Defense in Action After the 9/11 attacks…

Japan is developing the L0 Series, a magnetic-levitation (maglev) train built by Central Japan Railway Company, which has reached test speeds of 603.5 km/h, making it the fastest train ever developed. It is designed for the new Chuo Shinkansen line, cutting travel time between Tokyo and Nagoya to about 40 minutes, and eventually Tokyo to Osaka to around one hour. The technology relies on maglev, lifting trains above the track using magnets to eliminate friction. However, the project has already cost about £52bn (€60bn) and has been delayed until the mid-2030s. Despite its speed, experts say the L0 Series is…

TikTok has completed a major agreement that ensures the app continues operating in the United States. The company announced the deal on Thursday after years of legal and political uncertainty. The agreement ends a long-running clash between Washington and Beijing. The dispute began during Donald Trump’s first presidency, when he tried to ban the app over national security concerns. US legislation threatened to block TikTok in January 2025 unless ByteDance sold its American business. Trump later delayed enforcement several times after returning to office. The negotiations focused on TikTok’s recommendation algorithm. Under the new structure, American owners now license the…

Influencers linked to the online “manosphere” are convincing healthy young men that normal changes in mood, energy or libido mean they have low testosterone, according to a study published in Social Science and Medicine. Researchers analysed popular posts on TikTok and Instagram, finding that routine testosterone testing was promoted as essential to masculinity, despite being medically unnecessary for most young men. The lead author, from the University of Copenhagen, said normal experiences were often framed as medical problems, driving men towards tests, supplements and treatments with little evidence of benefit. Experts warned that unnecessary testing and treatment can carry risks,…

Bilateral Agreement, Not NATO-Wide Spain’s Foreign Minister, José Manuel Albares, has stressed that the security framework for Greenland negotiated by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte must be presented to all allies before it can move forward. Speaking to Euronews at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Albares clarified that the deal struck with US President Donald Trump is a bilateral arrangement, not a NATO decision. “This is a bilateral arrangement, not NATO. It is the Secretary General of NATO talking to one of the allies,” Albares said. He added that allied foreign ministers currently only know about the public announcement,…
