LONDON — Kamala just showed Rishi who’s boss.As British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s showpiece artificial event kicked off in Bletchley Park on Wednesday, 50 miles south in the futuristic environs of the American Embassy in London, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris laid out her vision for how the world should govern artificial intelligence.It was a raw show of U.S. power on the emerging technology.Armed with a freshly-released White House Executive Order on AI and walking out to the piping trumpets of a brass band, Harris could point to comprehensive domestic action the Biden administration is taking, including new binding guardrails on the most advanced forms of the emerging tech which American companies dominate. By contrast, for all the bruh-hah around Sunak’s summit — and notable diplomatic breakthroughs with the Bletchley Declaration signed by Beijing, Washington and others — Britain is falling behind the likes of the EU, Canada and now the U.S. in bringing through concret...

Biden administration thinks Netanyahu may not last politically

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:31:36 GMT

That has included discussions that have taken place since Biden’s trip to Israel, where he met with Netanyahu.Biden has gone so far as to suggest to Netanyahu that he should think about lessons he would share with his eventual successor, the two administration officials added.A current U.S. official and a former U.S. official both confirmed that the administration believes Netanyahu has limited time left in office. The current official said the expectation internally was that the Israeli PM would likely last a matter of months, or at least until the early fighting phase of Israel’s military campaign in the Gaza Strip...

Sunak raises ‘humanitarian pauses’ with Netanyahu

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:31:36 GMT

LONDON — U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said Britain “will continue to do everything we can” to get aid into Gaza as it emerged the country is discussing plans with France and the Netherlands to send shipments directly by sea to the besieged and blockaded Palestinian territory. Israel, which controls Gaza’s air, land and sea borders, imposed a “complete siege” on the territory in early October after an attack by Hamas. In doing so it cut off fuel, water and electricity — and stopped aid delivery of food and medicine — to 2.2 million people. The majority of Gaza’s residents rely on humanitarian assistance, and before the Israel-Hamas war hundreds of aid trucks crossed into Gaza daily. Since the outbreak of hostilities, however, only dozens have been allowed across the border. Sunak’s statement comes after the first British nationals crossed the Rafah border crossing from Gaza into Egypt, following days of uncertainty about when foreign n...
