Denmark PM Mette Frederiksen has been left “shocked” after being attacked in the street in Copenhagen, her office says. The assault took place on a square in the centre of the city where a man walked up to her and hit her. The attacker has been arrested. European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen called it a “despicable act, which goes against everything we believe in and fight for in Europe”. “Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was beaten on Friday evening at Kultorvet in Copenhagen by a man who was subsequently arrested. The prime minister is shocked by the incident,” the…

As more and more Americans flock to the gaming platform Roblox, brands are trying all kinds of tricks to bring real-world retail experiences into the virtual world on the gaming platform Roblox. In 2022, Chipotle released the Chipotle Burrito Builder, a simulation where players could roll virtual burritos for a chance to win real credit at physical Chipotle stores. Kellogg and Forever 21 have tried their hand at similar stunts on the platform to help promote their products, and the platform even rolled out virtual video ads earlier this year. Now, IKEA is trying its hand in the Roblox metaverse…
Attack in Khartoum’s sister city of Omdurman comes as UN says internal displacement across Sudan is nearing 10 million. Pro-democracy activists in Sudan say about 40 people have been killed in “violent artillery fire” by paramilitary forces in the twin city of the Sudanese capital Khartoum, as fighting and displacement intensify across the war-ravaged country. The Karari Resistance Committee, one of hundreds of grassroots organisations that coordinate aid across Sudan, said on Friday that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) group was behind the deadly attack on Omdurman a day earlier. “So far, the death toll is estimated at 40 civilians…

Hunter Biden’s ex-girlfriend has testified that she “panicked” when she searched his car and found a gun – a moment that set off a chaotic string of events that has brought the president’s son to a federal courtroom. Hallie Biden, who is also the widow of the defendant’s late brother Beau, said that she had discovered the revolver amid piles of clothes and litter in the glove compartment of Hunter Biden’s truck. The Delaware court will begin hearing from two more witnesses on Friday as prosecutors present their remaining evidence to jurors. It is unclear if Mr Biden himself will…
Since joining Microsoft in 1992, Satya Nadella has not only impressed those he’s worked for, landing him promotion after promotion until he took the helm 10 years ago—he’s also attracted the admiration of his peers while doing it.

Federal prosecutors say US President Biden’s son was in the throes of a heavy crack addiction when he bought the gun. Hunter Biden’s widowed sister-in-law has testified that she found his gun and threw it away out of fear of his spiralling drug addiction, potentially bolstering prosecutors’ case that President Joe Biden’s son broke a law barring illegal drug users from owning firearms. Hallie Biden told jurors about the moment she found the revolver in his truck, describing how she put it into a leather pouch, stuffed it into a shopping bag and tossed it in a rubbish bin outside a…
Tesla’s former audit committee chair and a prominent clean technology venture investor said he wouldn’t back Elon Musk’s $56 billion pay package and he understands why other investors will vote against the CEO’s pay proposal next week. “Look, Elon’s done an extraordinary job; he’s built one of the transformational companies of the age. But to ask for a $55 billion pay increase at precisely the time when you’ve missed quarterly numbers, growth is slowing down, and you’ve laid off 15% of the workforce is, I’d say, hubris to say the least.” That’s according to Steve Westly, who spoke on CNBC…
Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella has hailed the company’s new Recall feature, which stores a history of your computer desktop and makes it available to AI for analysis, as “photographic memory” for your PC. Within the cybersecurity community, meanwhile, the notion of a tool that silently takes a screenshot of your desktop every five seconds has been hailed as a hacker’s dream come true and the worst product idea in recent memory. Now, security researchers have pointed out that even the one remaining security safeguard meant to protect that feature from exploitation can be trivially defeated. Since Recall was first announced…
