AI-generated sexual deepfakes, which began in 2017 as celebrity face-swaps on a Reddit forum, are now a problem for ordinary people. A survey of 7,230 adults in Australia, the UK and the US found that 7% had been victims of non-consensual sexual deepfakes, with higher rates among people under 35, LGBTQ+ people, people of colour and people with disabilities. About 3.2% admitted creating, sharing or threatening to share such images of someone else. Their reasons ranged from revenge to thinking it was funny, wanting to experiment with the technology or show off to friends. The true figures are probably higher, since many victims never find out.

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.
