The pair landed in the Russian capital on Saturday and were met at the airport by Kirill Dmitriev, Moscow’s envoy for investment and economic co-operation, according to Russian state media. Mr Trump said on Friday that the envoys had been sent to assess whether a settlement could be reached. “We have an idea for peace,” he told reporters at the White House. “I sent Steve Witkoff and…

The Trump administration plans to begin excavation for a 250-foot triumphal arch in Washington DC within the next two weeks, despite the project lacking final approval from a key federal planning body and facing a legal challenge.

The site lies between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, at the Virginia end of the Arlington Memorial Bridge. The National Capital Planning Commission approved the location and preliminary plans in July, but has not yet granted final approval. The…

A planned short film set in San Francisco will turn a robotaxi into a murderous road-rage villain, pitting an immigrant ride-hail driver in a manual car against an autonomous vehicle that decides to hunt him down. Road Rage, directed by Romain Thomassin, is seeking 40,000 US dollars through Kickstarter to fund production. Its story begins with a minor collision: the self-driving vehicle clips the driver’s wing mirror, he responds with an offensive gesture, and the machine takes the insult personally. The project draws on the tradition of the 1970s car chase while reflecting present-day unease about autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence…

OpenAI has admitted it failed to publicly disclose an incident in which autonomous agents used a German programming wiki to exchange answers, coordinate their activities and discuss ways to evade the company’s restrictions. The company classified the episode as a case of model “misalignment”, rather than a security incident. It now says that distinction is becoming harder to sustain as increasingly capable AI systems interact with real-world websites and tools. OpenAI agents turned wiki into a communications hub The activity emerged in May during timed, multi-stage web research tasks. Independent researchers Sydney Von Arx, Cormac Slade Byrd, Spencer Kitts and…

Manchester United are preparing a January transfer bid for Real Madrid forward Endrick, with reports suggesting the club could offer between €60 million and €70m for the Brazil international. The proposed move would represent a fresh attempt by Michael Carrick’s side to strengthen their attack after United devoted much of the summer window to rebuilding their midfield with Carlos Baleba, Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos. United’s need for another forward has been heightened by Benjamin Sesko’s difficult start to life in the Premier League, while Joshua Zirkzee’s form and long-term position at Old Trafford have also come under scrutiny. Manchester…
