Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has been held at Guantanamo Bay, the US detention camp in Cuba, since 2006.

The 61-year-old, of Pakistan, is accused of orchestrating the 9/11 atrocities almost 25 years ago, which saw al-Qaeda hijackers fly planes into the World Trade Centre's two towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington.

Another plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania after passengers fought to regain control of the aircraft, which was targeting another government building in DC.

Across all four planes, nearly 3,000 people were killed.

Mohammed was captured in Pakistan in 2003 and charged with war crimes and murder in 2008.

His two decades in captivity in Guantanamo have seen planned trial dates come and go, including due to plea deal negotiations and the COVID pandemic.

A Senate report in 2014 also found he had been subjected to waterboarding 183 times. Defence lawyers have argued that the holdup comes from what they say are the government's efforts to hide details of torture.

He will be prosecuted alongside others suspected of conspiring in the attacks: Walid bin Attash, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali and Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi.

NBC News, Sky's US partner network, reports the new June 2028 start date was set by military commissions judge Michael Schrama, who rejected a January 2027 window proposed by prosecutors.

It comes after an appeals court last summer threw out a potential agreement that would have allowed Mohammed to plead guilty in exchange for avoiding the risk of the death penalty.

Rhys Hibbert was operated on by surgeons at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN), part of University College London (UCL) Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Live artificial intelligence was utilised to identify miniscule anatomy in the brain. It colour-coded important structures to help surgeons know which areas to avoid while removing the tumour.

With so many important functions of the brain packed tightly together, including nerves controlling vision, the hospital's team said "going a millimetre wrong can make a critical difference".

Mr Hibbert, 48, said the operation – which took place in May – had saved his eyesight, and he is now back at work.

He said he was "very humbled to have been asked" to be the focus of the world-first operation.

Made in the UK

Professor Hani Marcus, a consultant neurosurgeon, said it was an "important step" and was keen to celebrate that the artificial intelligence used was "homegrown" in the UK.

It developed "in-house" at the UCL Hawkes Institute and was trained using hundreds of videos of brain surgeries.

AI-powered tools have already been used in other types of surgery in the UK. One named Eureka, developed in Japan, was used to perform a bowel resection on a woman at St Mark's, the National Bowel Hospital, in June.

It's also hoped AI could be used to help identify people at risk of diseases, including cancer, and relive pressure on NHS hospitals.

Nvidia, the chipmaker valued at more than $5.1bn (£3.8bn) and powering much of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, said gross profit hit $133.3bn (£98bn) in the first half of the year.

The firm's results have become a bellwether for investment in AI and the health of the overall economy as companies and governments invest in the tech and necessary infrastructure, particularly data centres, that powers it.

The question of when a slowdown could come remains unanswered, as not only did Nvidia's revenue rise 106% to $96.2bn (£71bn) in the three months up to July, since the same time last year, it forecast revenue growth of 70% next financial year, surpassing Wall Street estimates.

Its co-founder and chief executive, Jensen Huang, was characteristically bullish, saying "demand is accelerating".

"We have a golden age of new AI labs and startups," he added.

Why does Nvidia matter?

Originally a maker of graphics hardware for gamers, Nvidia now provides the chips that power AI systems such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, as well as the UK's most powerful supercomputer.

Nvidia has become a significant stock market player.

Due to the number of highly valued shares it has issued, it comprises more than 7% of the entire S&P 500, a major US stock index made of companies relied on for stability and profitability.

Why does the AI boom matter?

Building data centres especially has given a major boost to the US economy.

Faltering AI expansion, therefore, would affect the world's largest economies, which in turn would impact the UK and global economies.

Data centre revenue for the three months to the end of July hit a record $89bn (£65.5bn), up 117% from a year ago.

News that Nvidia had agreed a deal with the internet-powering cloud services provider, Amazon Web Services (AWS), to deploy two million AI-fuelling graphics processing units also helped its shares rise 4% in after-hours trading.

Investors had previously shrugged off results that, on the face of it, seemed positive due to high expectations.

All but two of them are now adults, parliament's Joint Committee on Human Rights said in a new report.

England's Children's Commissioner Dame Rachel de Souza has described their ongoing disappearance as an "unacceptable failure" and demanded the government set out what it's doing to locate them.

It comes three years after it emerged that more than 400 unaccompanied children seeking asylum in the UK had disappeared from hotels commandeered by the Home Office. Some of the kids were as young as 12.

Dame Angela Eagle, in a letter to the committee last year in her role as border security and asylum minister, said some who had been found were "in exploitative situations and may have been trafficked".

In its report published on Thursday, the committee said it was "extremely concerned" about the number of youngsters who are still missing.

It called on the Home Office to make clear what's being done to find them, investigate why they went missing, and avoid unaccompanied asylum-seeking children going missing in the future. It wants an update every three months.

The use of hotels has long been controversial with the public but also with some human rights campaigners who said they were not suitable accommodation for children.

The then Conservative government said the use of hotels was necessary due to an "unsustainable" rise in small boat crossings over the Channel.

Their use has continued under Labour, though they have vowed to stop this by the next election and favour different locations such as former military barracks.

A government spokesperson said: "The safety and wellbeing of children is paramount, and we take any child going missing extremely seriously.

"The Home Office-operated accommodation for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children closed in January 2024. Since then, the vast majority of children reported missing from those settings have subsequently been located.

"Police forces are responsible for investigating missing children cases, and we continue to review our records, share relevant information with them and work closely with local authorities and safeguarding partners to support those investigations."

Curry played Dr Frank-N-Furter in the 1975 cult classic.

He portrayed Pennywise the clown in the 1990 TV adaptation of Stephen King's It.

The actor also appeared in Home Alone 2, The Hunt for Red October, Muppet Treasure Island, Addams Family Reunion and Scary Movie 2.

The star died on Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles, according to his long-time manager and friend Marcia Hurwitz. No cause was disclosed.

Curry suffered a major, near-fatal stroke in July 2012, which left him in a wheelchair.

Known for his arch humour and gift with voices, Curry earned three Tony nominations - for Spamalot, My Favorite Year and Amadeus - and an Emmy nod in 1994.

A statement from his manager said: "Though widely known for his inimitable, flamboyant characters and colourful stage performances, his greatest legacies to those who knew him were his curious, expansive mind and generous, gentle heart, both of which remained open and filled with anticipation until his final breath."

'Funny, sexy, original': Tributes from former co-stars

Rob Schneider has paid tribute to his "great and wonderful" Home Alone 2 co-star on Instagram, who he said has "given his final bow".

The actor and comedian said he had "never known another actor who could say more with a knowing grin or a raised eyebrow than the splendid Tim Curry."

Curry's Rocky Horror Picture Show co-star Susan Sarandon described him as a "funny, sexy, original" in a post on Instagram, adding that what she loved the most about him was "his heart".

"Even wheelchair-bound, he continued to be so sweet and generous with his fans. Thank you Tim for meaning so much to so many people. Love you, S," the actress said.

In a statement to the New Zealand Herald, Rocky Horror Picture Show creator Richard O'Brien said Curry was "a good egg and a class act".

Actor Richard E Grant also took to Instagram with a photo of Curry as Dr Frank-N-Furter, saying it was an "unforgettable thrill to have seen him on stage in The Pirates Of Penzance and on screen as Frank-N-Furter, and to have met him in Los Angeles many times in the last century", as he praised Curry's "indelible, fearless insouciance".

Annie co-star Carol Burnett said she had a "wonderful time" on set with Curry, adding: "Nobody could play lovable villains better than he could. He was a dear friend. I was blessed to know him."

From student actor to fan favourite

Originally born in Cheshire, the actor's family moved to Hong Kong when he was six months old.

The family would later relocate and settle in Plymouth after his father suffered a stroke.

Curry's family did not have a background in show business; his mother's relatives were seafarers and his father's family were County Durham builders.

The star began acting in school plays while at Prior's Court, Bath, before later studying drama and English at Birmingham University.

The actor said he did not attend classes much and focused on acting in extra-curricular productions - claiming one of his professors tried to stop him from taking his final exams as they had never met before.

After graduating in 1968, Curry got his first acting gig in the London production of Hair.

Curry made his big break a few years later when he auditioned for The Rocky Horror Show after stints with the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of After Haggarty and various West End shows.

The actor first played Frank-N-Furter from the iconic show on stage before the film version, which was released in 1975 and remains a fan favourite.

In his 2025 memoir, Vagabond, Curry warned readers that while there were scraps of his nature in his characters, he was none of them.

"The distinctions between who I really am and who I've pretended to be as an actor have proven to be a source of great disappointment to some audiences. It has not caused me much personal distress beyond the periodic necessity to deter stalkers," he wrote.

After a yearslong break from live-action roles, he thrilled fans with his involvement in the 2024 film Stream - something the film's director Michael Leavy called a dream come true.

Curry, who never married and had no children, was deeply private about his personal life. But he wrote in his memoir that he was convinced to tell his story thanks to so many moving encounters with fans.
