Meet ‘Amelia’: the AI-generated British schoolgirl who is a far-right social media star
The avatar, created to deter young people from extremism, has been subverted and is breaking out of niche online silos In certain corners of the internet, on niche news feeds and algorithms, an AI-generated British schoolgirl has emerged as something of a phenomenon.

I was in Helmand with UK troops. Draft dodging Trump's words are a gut punch to those killed
Donald Trump has claimed NATO troops stayed "a little off the front lines" in Afghanistan. It's hard to know whether he's ignorant or just doesn't really care.

Dear BBC News, the whole idea of changing the name to "resident doctors" was to stop calling them "junior doctors" because when you talked about "junior doctors" people thought you meant "trainee doctors". They're not trainees, they're fully qualified.

Why was there a Kindertransport? Because we wouldn't let their parents come with them. Five years into the Nazi persecution, we wouldn't let their parents come with them. And we insisted every child had someone to meet their "costs". And we only agreed on condition most would "re-emigrate".
