NEW DELHI (ANP/AFP) - In het noordoosten van India is een militair transportvliegtuig neergestort. De Indiase krijgsmacht meldt dat vijf militairen om het leven zijn gekomen.
Het ongeluk met de Antonov An-32 vond plaats tijdens de landing op een luchtmachtbasis in Jorhat. Indiase media hebben beelden gedeeld van zwarte rookpluimen die opstegen en van wrakstukken. De toedracht van het ongeluk is nog niet bekend. Daar wordt volgens de krijgsmacht onderzoek naar gedaan.
In 2019 stortte een vliegtuig van hetzelfde type neer nadat het vanaf de basis in Jorhat was opgestegen. Er vielen toen dertien doden.
LONDEN (ANP/AFP) - Tennisster Victoria Mboko heeft zich wegens een knieblessure afgemeld voor Wimbledon. De 19-jarige Canadese maakte bekend dat ze de rest van het grasseizoen mist, maar hoopt dat ze haar samenwerking met Serena Williams in het dubbelspel kan hervatten op de US Open.
Mboko was de dubbelpartner van Williams bij haar rentree op de tennisbaan deze week op het grastoernooi van Queen's. Ze liep in haar enkelpartij tegen de Tsjechische KarolĂna PlĂšková een blessure op, waardoor het koppel zich moest terugtrekken voor de rest van het dubbelspel in Londen.
"Ik heb zo veel van je geleerd en het spijt me enorm dat ons toernooi zo vroegtijdig tot een einde kwam, maar ik hoop dat we snel weer samen kunnen spelen en kunnen afmaken wat we waren begonnen", schrijft Mboko over haar samenwerking met de 23-voudig grandslamwinnares.
Williams speelt komende week ook in het dubbelspel op het grastoernooi van Berlijn. Daar zou ze nu een koppel vormen met KarolĂna Muchová uit TsjechiĂ«.

3rd over: Scotland 21-0 (Carter 12, Fraser 6) Now it’s medium pace from both ends as Ava Canning replaces Maguire. Carter keeps swinging, chopping over the covers, pulling over midwicket, keeping every fielder interested but picking up two twos. With a pair of singles and a wide, the scoreboard is ticking over nicely.
2nd over: Scotland 13-0 (Carter 7, Fraser 4) It’s seam from the other end, from Arlene Kelly, though Hunter stays up to the stumps. Fraser picks up two with a tuck and a single with a pull. Kelly keeps Carter quiet and beats the bat outside off, but then Carter slogs to leg and again comes close to being caught in the deep.

"Anthropic said on Friday it will 'abruptly disable' its most advanced AI models for all users,"
reports Reuters, "after the U.S. government ordered it to suspend access to the models for foreign nationals, citing national security concerns. The company received the export control directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all foreign nationals, without being given specific details of its national security concern, Anthropic said in a statement."
Anthropic's blog post writes that the directive applies to foreign nationals "whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance."
"Access to all other Anthropic models will not be affected."
We received the directive from the government today at 5:21pm (ET)... Our understanding is that the government believes it has become aware of a method of bypassing, or "jailbreaking" Fable 5... We have not even received a disclosure of a concerning non-universal potential jailbreak that led to a harmful result. The potential jailbreaks that have been disclosed to us are either entirely benign responses or are minor findings that provide no Mythos-specific uplift.
To date, the government has only given us verbal evidence of a potential narrow, non-universal jailbreak, which essentially consists of asking the model to read a specific codebase and fix any software flaws. Our understanding is that one potential jailbreak was shared with the government. We have reviewed a report that we believe is the basis of the government's directive and validated that the level of capability displayed there is widely available from other models (including OpenAI's GPT-5.5), and is used every day by the defenders who keep systems safe... We are complying with the government's legal directive and are removing access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all users. However, we disagree that the finding of a narrow potential jailbreak should be cause for recalling a commercial model deployed to hundreds of millions of people. If this standard was applied across the industry, we believe it would essentially halt all new model deployments for all frontier model providers.
As we have stated publicly, we believe the government should have the ability to block unsafe deployments, as part of a statutory process that is transparent, fair, clear, and grounded in technical facts. This action does not adhere to those principles. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.
Reuters notes that Amazon's cloud unit AWS "said late on Friday that Anthropic has asked it to revoke access to the models for 'all users in all regions.'"
Dean Ball, a former White House official who contributed to the AI Action Plan the administration issued in the summer of 2025, said in a post on X that the order suggests all "non-Americans" would be restricted from using Anthropic's latest models, including those based in the U.S. "This means you should expect to have to prove your citizenship to use Anthropic models," Ball said.
Several key Anthropic personnel, including co-founder Chris Olah, AI researcher Andrej Karpathy and philosopher Amanda Askell, were born outside the United States.

In Dordrecht en Zwijndrecht is een ware run ontstaan op bronwater. De schappen van de meeste supermarkten zijn helemaal leeg. Aanleiding is het nieuws dat er een verhoogde hoeveelheid van de E. coliebacterie in het kraanwater is aangetroffen.

Patients in England cannot stop their data being processed by the Palantir-built NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP), but individual NHS trusts can choose not to use it, health minister Preet Kaur Gill has told MPs. The minister, who was appointed last month to cover health innovation and safety, told fellow Labour MP Neil Duncan-Jordan that patients can only opt out of secondary uses of data such as planning and research. On the main opt-out mechanism, she said: "The National Data Opt-Out does not currently apply to products used in the NHS FDP. In most cases, this is because data is being used for the purpose of direct care." Last month, NHS England confirmed it had changed policy so some Palantir staff can access identifiable patient data through a new "admin" role. A briefing document seen by The Financial Times and confirmed by The Register warned that granting access could create a "risk of loss of public confidence" in NHS England's assurances about safeguarding patient data. Answering a separate question from Labour MP Rachael Maskell, Gill confirmed that NHS trusts running hospitals, mental health and other services can opt out. "Where NHS organizations would like to use alternative solutions, they retain the ability to procure locally, provided solutions meet applicable standards and support the delivery of national priorities," she said. According to NHS England statistics, 168 of 214 NHS trusts have signed up to use the FDP, with 123 live and 80 reporting benefits. All but one of England's 42 integrated care boards, Greater Manchester, have also joined. Palantir's role in the FDP, which followed similar pandemic-era work for NHS England, has become increasingly contentious. Last week, Parliament's Science, Innovation and Technology Committee said the NHS should end Palantir's involvement, and MPs have tabled 40 written questions about the supplier, which also works for intelligence agencies and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in the last month. Responding to a question from Labour MP Mark Sewards, Gill said the government will decide this year whether to extend Palantir's current FDP contract beyond its February 2027 expiry. She noted the program was among just 14 percent of major government projects to get a green rating from the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority, "indicating that the NHS FDP is on track." In a further answer to Neil Duncan-Jordan, Gill said the contract includes an exit management process covering intellectual property rights. "In addition, the contract includes controls to support transition and continuity of services in the event of termination, ensuring that operational delivery and patient services are protected," she said. "In principle, another supplier could provide equivalent functionality in the future," Gill added, signaling that even if Palantir's contract is not renewed, the government wants to retain the FDP. "It would take planning, time, and resources to run a compliant procurement and then move services and data across safely." ®
