Robot artist freed from Egyptian custody after espionage fears
Subscribe to The Telegraph on YouTube ► https://bit.ly/3idrdLH
The world’s first robotic artist has been released from Cairo Airport after 10 days in custody.
Border guards felt the humanoid, named Ai-da, posed a security risk as she had cameras in her eyes, but they freed the UK-made creation in time for an art show at the Pyramids.
The “security issues” were thought to include worries that she was part of a wider espionage plot, in part because she had a modem, and a potential enemy of the state.

Ai-da's technology enables her to use the cameras implanted in her eyes to translate what she sees into fine art. The project is updated as advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are made.
Ai-da has created a clay sculpture based on the riddle of the Sphinx, which is part of the first contemporary art exhibition at the Pyramids in thousands of years.

Arsenal and England legend Tony Adams has done as much in his career to challenge the stigma around addiction as he has to make footballing history. From becoming sober very publicly back in the 90s, to setting up Sporting Chance, a charity that provides mental health support to current and former professional athletes, he's made it his mission to help others by sharing his story.
This Addiction Awareness Week, Bryony has teamed up with Action on Addiction and the Forward Trust to bring you a conversation each day tackling a different element of addiction. Because even though we are slowly breaking down the stigma around discussing mental health, addiction - sadly - remains a taboo, even though we will all know someone touched by it.
Tony tells Bryony how following a 12-step programme changed his life, how the new generation of footballers is battling a very different addiction, and why he's heading back to Chelmsford prison, three decades after serving time there.
Action on Addiction is a UK charity providing support to people who need rehab, as well as a wealth of resources for those battling addiction issues: https://www.actiononaddiction.org.uk |

UK and New Zealand strike a 'win-win’ new trade deal
Subscribe to The Telegraph on YouTube ► https://bit.ly/3idrdLH
The UK and New Zealand have agreed a trade deal that will expand the existing £2.3 billion of trade and should make imports of some Sauvignon Blanc and honey cheaper.
Boris Johnson and Jacinda Ardern, the New Zealand prime minister, talked on Wednesday and agreed the deal, which will need to be ratified by Parliament, in principle.
Tariffs as high as 10 per cent on British goods such as clothing, footwear, buses, ships and bulldozers will be removed, boosting sale opportunities in New Zealand. In turn, New Zealand products such as Sauvignon Blanc, Manuka honey and kiwifruit should become cheaper to import into the UK.
There will also be benefits for British lawyers and architects, who will be able to work in New Zealand more easily, as well as improvement to business travel arrangements.

How Joe Biden's gaffes are hurting his image as a transparent president
In just eight months, Joe Biden has already accumulated a high number of gaffes which are hurting his image.
From forgetting the names of officials he's appearing with, to factual mistakes and spells of incoherent stuttering, the 46th President of the United States has become a gaffe machine.
The White House has adopted a "protective posture" to limit the President's unscripted encounters, according to US editor Nick Allen.
"It's all very damaging to Mr Biden's reputation as a straight shooter", Nick Allen said.
Watch the full analysis and a compilation of some of his gaffes in the video above.

In full: Sajid Javid warns Covid cases could hit 100,000 a day this winter
Health Secretary Sajid Javid will lead a Downing Street press conference as the Government faces pressure from health chiefs to impose coronavirus restrictions.
Mr Javid's appearance comes amid mounting concern about rising cases and a faltering vaccination programme.
Matthew Taylor, chief executive of the NHS Confederation which represents health bodies, warned "we risk stumbling into a winter crisis" unless measures such as face masks and vaccine passports - the Government's "Plan B" for the coming months - are introduced in England.
He called for ministers to come up with a "Plan C" of even tougher restrictions if those measures are insufficient to address pressure on the health service.

He asked why such companies would not face criminal sanctions under the current draft legislation, to which Mr Johnson said he would "come down hard on people who allow dangerous and extremist content on the internet".
Mr Johnson responded there will be "criminal sanctions, with tough sentences" for those responsible for allowing extremist content online.

Not the time for Covid Plan B, says Kwasi Kwarteng
A winter lockdown has been ruled out by the Business Secretary despite his "concerns" over a slow booster rollout.
The NHS Confederation last night urged the Government to introduce its 'Plan B' strategy, which would involve measures such as mandatory face coverings and a return to working from home.
Kwasi Kwarteng, the Business Secretary, said the Government was "concerned" about the slow uptake of booster jabs in light of rising Covid cases.
But he ruled out further lockdowns and said ministers "don't want to go back into further restrictions", noting there were no vaccines this time last year.

A woman accused of murdering her husband said she "should have stabbed him more" as she was arrested, a court has heard.
Penelope Jackson, 66, is standing trial at Bristol Crown Court accused of the murder of her 78-year-old husband David at their home in Parsonage Road, Berrow, Somerset, on February 13 this year.
Jackson admits manslaughter but denies murder in an incident which happened just three months after police were called to the house about an argument the couple had about Mr Jackson's pacemaker control.
She was arrested after making a 999 call to police in which she told a call handler she had stabbed Mr Jackson "three times".

Duchess of Cambridge: Addiction is not a choice and none of us are immune
Addiction is not a choice and none of us are immune, the Duchess of Cambridge has said in a landmark speech to beat the “taboo and shame” that surrounds it.
In her speech, aimed at breaking the stigma of addiction, the Duchess urged the public to try to understand the “multi-layered and complex” journey towards addiction, which has been compounded by the “devastating impact” of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Echoing the mission of her late mother-in-law Diana, Princess of Wales, to change society’s attitude towards difficult, unglamorous topics, she said: “By recognising what lies beneath addiction, we can help remove the taboo and shame that sadly surrounds it.”
Wearing a striking red dress and carrying a folder of notes, the Duchess spoke in front of an audience of charities, patrons, former addicts, their supporters and event hosts Ant and Dec, for the Taking Action on Addiction campaign.
