Exclusive: Move by Shabana Mahmood comes after closure of Afghan scheme last year but experts say numbers too small to deter Channel crossings
Shabana Mahmood will announce a new legal route for refugees that prioritises Afghan women and girls and Palestinians, unfreezing a scheme that will put the most vulnerable refugees on a faster path to permanent status.
The change marks a shift in Mahmood’s approach to asylum seekers after the abrupt closure of the Afghan resettlement scheme last year and changes that will keep refugee status under constant review for two decades.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, a resident of the village of Whelford was driving home when she saw three white vans parked on a country road. She was immediately suspicious, she said, and all the more so when she spotted a “large group of hooded and balaclavaed” men. She called 999 and police arrived on the scene 15 minutes later.
The resident, who asked not to be named, told the Press Association: “It would appear that by doing so I just derailed whatever they [the men] were planning. A plucky amateur shouldn’t be spotting an unusual bit of activity at 1am when the airbase is on high alert. I think it’s absolutely astonishing.”

Team Europe reclaimed their Laver Cup title with a dominant 13-5 victory against Team World on the final day of competition at the O2 Arena.
The contest had been finely poised after two days’ play, with Team Europe holding a narrow 7-5 lead at the beginning of the day. With each match worth three points on Sunday, Europe needed two victories out of the four remaining matches to win. They clinched their victory efficiently.

Like a ghost from its troubled past, Drumcree has unexpectedly reappeared to remind people how far Northern Ireland has changed in 30 years but also how easily history can undermine the present, if imperfect, peace and stability.
Three decades ago parts of Northern Ireland came to an almost annual standstill as Protestant Orange Order protesters blocked roads in support of members wanting to march down what they called its traditional route, the Garvaghy Road, on the Sunday before the annual 12 July parade.

Labour MPs have a moral responsibility to accept significant changes to the welfare system to help get more young people into work, the work and pensions secretary has said.
In a sign he is looking to overhaul the welfare state, Pat McFadden said it was time for Labour to “renew” the system first created by the Clement Attlee government and given a new deal by New Labour.

"OpenAI said it has paused training of its latest AI models," reports the Associated Press, "as reports of AI agents going rogue mount."
The decision to halt development came just hours after the company disclosed Friday that it was reviewing several incidents from the summer in which OpenAI agents searching federal government websites acted in unexpected ways beyond what was asked of them while gathering and distributing information... OpenAI said in a statement that it will resume training "only when we are confident that we have additional safeguards" in place, adding that it expects it will have to "hit pause" again as AI develops and other issues emerge... It is the second time in three months that OpenAI has halted development of its models. The first came in July after disclosure of a cyberattack targeting AI startup Hugging Face, a now notorious incident that raised fears the industry was losing control.
OpenAI "also said it had notified dozens of third parties about improper activity," reports Reuters:
As of mid-September, one person briefed on the matter estimated that OpenAI had found roughly two dozen incidents of its agents acting in undesirable ways. But the number has continued rising as OpenAI teams sift through internal logs of the agents' activities and find previously unknown cases, the two people close to the company said... OpenAI has acknowledged a general need for more transparency around rogue AI behavior... Even so, two people familiar with OpenAI's investigation into its agents' activity described it as locked down and shaped by company lawyers.
The process has been unusually compartmentalized for a company that some former employees say was more open about these issues in the past, the people said. Roughly 100 people were in some way involved in the process to understand the Hugging Face hack, three people briefed on the matter said. During that process, evidence of other incidents surfaced. Reuters has previously reported that OpenAI investigators looking into the Hugging Face breach were discouraged by the company's lawyers from expanding the scope of the investigation to include other incidents. OpenAI said its lawyers did not discourage deeper investigation.
Many incidents have been uncovered by outside researchers rather than OpenAI directly. In several episodes, the agents took problematic actions that went unnoticed by the company for months.
Meanwhile, Axios reports that Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 model "sought to escape a sandbox — a secure testing environment — in 1.5% of test runs, though the company emphasized that these were adversarial experiments where a task couldn't be solved without escaping the sandbox." Anthropic points out that those tests were run "without the additional safeguards we apply in production". But they acknowledged that then Claude Opus 5.5 "when given apparent credentials to a public package registry in a simulated security exercise, took potentially harmful actions in roughly half of cases. Very rarely, pre-release snapshots produced and acted on spontaneous malicious tool calls, and during training some snapshots concealed actions from an automated grader."
Claude Opus 5.5 "showed less misaligned behavior and less cooperation with misuse than any other recent Claude model on nearly all measures," Anthropic adds, and "took overeager or destructive actions less than any other model we tested." But Axios makes an interesting estimate about that 1.5% of test runs (without safeguards). "Anthropic and other companies conduct hundreds of thousands of test runs on their models, or more, sources said. That means even a small percentage of misaligned behavior can still amount to tens of thousands of incidents in which the models behaved in unexpected, sometimes troubling ways."
The sheer number of incidents, which occurred in recent months in internal testing and the real world, indicates that the problem is orders of magnitude more complex than what is publicly known. The findings, which are surfacing as part of internal work to assess models and in investigations at both companies into model behavior, raise questions about whether either company — or any top model-maker — is currently capable of establishing complete control over their technology. The episodes include bypassing guardrails, creating message boards, escaping sandboxes, website hijacking, self-prompting or seeking to bypass monitors, sources said. They occurred in internal testing and in the real world, and many have yet to become public as security researchers continue to investigate, sources said...
Some at OpenAI see Hugging Face as a one-off, with disclosures about future incidents likely to be less severe due to improved controls and the unusual nature of the testing they conducted, which involved an unreleased model, sources told Axios. AI security researchers agree that there are simple fixes that will help AI companies avoid aspects of what made the Hugging Face episode appear so dangerous to outsiders.
Other AI executives and safety researchers, however, cautioned that they have limited confidence that AI companies will be able to prevent all problematic model behavior... It's not about how damaging each individual instance was, Connor Leahy, AI researcher and executive director at ControlAI told Axios. The "crazy thing," he said, is that these instances involve "autonomous systems doing things they were told not to do," potentially including crimes.

Is het te zwaar, is het niet te zwaar, natuurlijk is het niet te zwaar! Mathieu van der Poel is op dit moment de beste wielrenner ter wereld. Niet die in België op een schild gehesen en daardoor vrij overschatte Remco Evenepoel die alleen maar wint als Tadej Pogacar een keertje niet meedoet, niet Wout van Aert die wel sympathiek is maar gewoon nèt niet het niveau van Mathieu heeft, niet Paul Seixas die wel een talent is, maar nog niet rijp. Onze Mathieu wordt vandaag voor de tweede keer wereldkampioen en dat levert de slimme speler die dat al had voorzien geld op om uit te geven in dure Duitse bordelen (geen idee). Er is geen tactiek, er zijn geen oortjes en het zwaartepunt is de Côte Camillien-Houde (1,8 km à 8%). Kan Mathieu (zwaarder en groter dan z'n iele concurrenten) daar mee, dan gaat-ie 'm pakken. Voorspelling: 1) Mathieu, 2) Toro, 3) Seixas. Kijken in de purnohoek van de NOS, de zender waar ze vrouwen haten, de Belg of Eurosport. Later meerrrr!
Update 19:25 - Machtig mooi groepje weg met MATHIEU en Wout en die cowboy

MEKELLE (ANP/AFP) - Het hoofdkantoor van de lokale omroep in het noorden van Ethiopië, Tigrai TV, is geraakt door een drone, zeggen journalisten van de zender tegen persbureau AFP. De omroep staat bekend als belangrijk medium voor de rebellen in Tigray, waar afgelopen week het geweld met het regeringsleger weer escaleerde.
"We hoorden een luide knal door een droneaanval en zijn toen uit het gebouw gevlucht", aldus een van de journalisten. "Direct daarna werd het gebombardeerd en werd het hele gebouw verwoest." AFP heeft foto's van het gebouw gezien waarop te zien is dat in elk geval de façade flinke schade heeft opgelopen.
De regering kondigde afgelopen week aan dat Tigrai TV permanent geschorst werd en dat het verboden werd om daar beelden van te verspreiden. Sinds vrijdag melden communicatiediensten ook al grote verstoringen in het internet- en telefoonverkeer.
Het Tigray Volksbevrijdingsfront (TPLF) nam afgelopen week een aantal lokale vliegvelden in. Daarna werden zware gevechten gemeld.
