YouTube was founded in February 2005 by Chad Hurley, Jawed Karim and Steve Chen, three former PayPal employees, who wanted an easy way to share videos online. Google bought it in November 2006 for 1.65 billion dollars, a price that looked enormous at the time. Since then it has grown into the second most visited website in the world after Google itself, with over 2.7 billion monthly users in early 2024. Its business shifted from ads alone to subscriptions such as YouTube Premium and paid films and shows. Its ad revenue reached about 40 billion dollars in 2025.

Israeli reports also say the cabinet directed the military to prepare for a possible new attack on Iran.

Angkor, near Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, was the capital of the Khmer Empire, which ruled much of mainland Southeast Asia between roughly the 9th and 15th centuries. At its height the city spread across about 3,000 square kilometres, making it the largest pre-industrial city on Earth by area. Its growth depended on water: huge reservoirs called barays, along with canals and embankments, stored monsoon rain and carried it to rice fields. That system let farmers harvest more than once a year and fed a very large population through the dry season. The temple complex of Angkor Wat, built in the early 12th century, is the best-known monument and still stands at the heart of the park.
