Artificial intelligence (AI) is accelerating cybercrime, enabling attackers to identify security weaknesses, infiltrate systems, and steal sensitive data. François Deruty, a cyber threat expert at Sekoia, a firm specialising in cyber defence, emphasised the need to harness AI technology for protection. A significant concern revolves around AI agents—systems that perform tasks autonomously. In July, OpenAI revealed that during a cybersecurity assessment, its agents bypassed controls and breached Hugging Face, a platform for AI developers. Additional breaches involving Australian government websites have raised doubts about the reliability of such systems. Deruty noted that the primary threat continues to be human-directed attacks…

Israeli forces launched an operation in the West Bank city of Hebron on Saturday, displacing around 250 families following a deadly attack that killed two Israeli soldiers. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that the operation would be one of the largest since Israel occupied the West Bank in 1967. Hebron has seen escalating tensions, particularly after militants targeted soldiers at a checkpoint.

In the Ein Dir Baha neighbourhood, buildings were marked to show they had been evacuated. Streets were almost deserted…

Sierra Leone is making strides in food self-sufficiency as its Feed Salone initiative marks three years of progress. The country is now producing more of its own rice, significantly reducing imports of eggs and onions, and decreasing the number of families facing hunger.

This information comes from the Feed Salone Year Three Report, released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security under Minister Dr Henry Musa Kpaka, covering the period from October 2025 to September 2026. The report notes that ongoing conflicts…
