New study "News Integrity in AI Assistants" by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), organization for Public Service broadcasters. ───── • Almost half of all AI answers had at least one significant issue. • A third of responses showed serious sourcing problems. • A fifth contained major accuracy issues, such as hallucinated and/or outdated information. [...] Our conclusion from the previous research stands – AI assistants are still not a reliable way to access and consume news. ───── https://www.ebu.ch/research/open/report/news-integrity-in-ai-assistants
In short, as in every use: You MUST always yourself manually verify anything of any importance if it has been in any way touched by any so-called "AI", which includes checking original sources, proof reading, etc. If you don't, that is not you "using AI", that is you "being abused by AI".
Doctors Without Borders (MSF): "Cholera epidemic in Democratic Republic of Congo is increasingly worrying [...] In the past nine months, more than 58,000 suspected cases have been recorded." https://www.msf.org/drc-cholera-epidemic-increasingly-worrying
Also anti-genocide Greta and other Global Sumud Flotilla activists from Sweden arrived home after being deported by Israel for being illegally abducted by Israel into Israel from international waters, at Stockholm Arlands Airport a large crowd welcomed the heroes back home.
No press questions taken, instead inviting the press to a press conference at Sergel's Square in central Stockholm this evening.
Here's a video of Greta and the fellow anti-genocide heroes from Sweden arriving at Stockholm Arlanda Airport. The person you'll see at the front getting hugs and kisses is the Wild Member of Parliament [yes, actual legal technical term, for a member of parliament sitting on their own mandate, without party affiliation] Lorena Delgado Varas and in the background you'll hear someone repeating to the press that questions will be taken at 7 (~19:00) at the other event.
Centralmost Stockholm now: "Hundreds have gathered here when Global Movement to Gaza i Sverige [=in Sweden] have organized a manifestation to welcome home the Swedish activists who were deported from Israel. At the location we expact among others Greta Thunberg."
In the corresponding article the major newspaper Aftonbladet reports "All Palestinians are in danger and the Government chooses to not do shit, says the political wild Lorena Delgado wo was on the boat during the press conference".
Global Sumud Flotilla today: ───── Six Global Sumud Flotilla participants are still held hostage by Israel after being illegally abducted in international waters. One Nigerian participant from the Omar Al-Mukhtar Flotilla and 145 participants of Freedom Flotilla Coalition and Thousand Madleens to Gaza are also still in detention.
Their detention is not just unlawful, it is a punishment for solidarity itself. This cannot be allowed to continue.
We call on all governments and people of conscience to act now.
"Beating, kicking, and threats of being gassed in cages.
Greta Thunberg and several others from the flotilla are now sharing details about their five days in Israeli captivity – and how Swedish Foreign Ministry staff left them without help."
Article is in English, which is very unusual for Aftonbladet, being one of the two major evening newspapers of Sweden, so that should tell you something of the magnitude.
General public debate in Norway now includes whether Trump will punish Norway if not given the Nobel Peace Prize, like Hitler did in 1935.
Prime Minister Støre says to be not worried (probably said as a part of the continuing tRump rump smooching), Kåre Aas, but former Ambassador to USA says "one have be prepared though", while Trump's former "National Security Advisor" John Bolton explains that "Trump divides the world into two types of people: Winners and losers. Himself he is a winner, so must win this award. It's a simple as that." while if it doesn't happen the crimes against peace bully "will probably blame the [Nobel] committee and the media for cheating him out of the prize. Maybe he will also make a play for Svalbard." said Bolton, probably referring to the repeated threats to invade Denmark to take Greenland.
Yes, of course, typical Nobel Peace Prize awardee behavior.
Facebook banned the Swedish Cancer Society (major independent non-profit organization, https://www.cancerfonden.se/om-oss/about) campaign for encouraging women to get their mammography cancer-screening when offered by the healthcare system, reports Public Service radio of Sweden. "Have you been called for mammography? Go there!", was the simple message (translated) now banned. Facebook told the Swedish Cancer Society that they had banned it due to their prohibition on "advertisements regarding social issues, elections or politics", but of course encouraging people to check if they have cancer when the healthcare system offers it... is not at all a political issue, it's a healthcare issue, a life or death issue.
───── Authorities arrested at least three members of the Egyptian Sumud Flotilla on Monday evening, the flotilla’s media spokesperson, Hossam Mahmoud, told Mada Masr. [...] Authorities in Egypt have conducted over 150 arrests targeting people demonstrating, organizing or even donating to support Palestinians since Israel began its genocidal war on Gaza in 2023, according to the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights. ───── https://www.madamasr.com/en/2025/09/30/news/u/authorities-arrest-3-egyptian-sumud-flotilla-members/
Global Sumud Flotilla, ~30 minutes ago: ───── UPDATE OCTOBER 1ST - 05:30 GMT+3
Unidentified vessels approached a number of boats in the Flotilla, some with their lights off. Participants applied security protocols in preparation for an interception. The vessels have now left the Flotilla.
We continue to sail to Gaza approaching the 120 nautical mile mark, near the area where previous flotillas have been intercepted and/or attacked. ─────
