Will gaming ever be the same as we know it?

Nvidia claims its newest AI upgrade is the biggest jump in graphics in nearly 10 years — real‑time neural rendering so advanced it edges into Hollywood‑level realism. But is DLSS 5 the future of gaming… or just another flashy tech demo?

Meta and YouTube will have to pay millions in damages to a 20-year-old woman after a jury decided the social media and video streaming platforms designed their sites to hook young users without concern for their well being.

Meta, founded by Mark Zuckerberg, is the parent company of Instagram and Facebook.

The companies say they intend to appeal against the verdict, which could set a legal precedent and have far-reaching consequences.

Marianna Spring, the BBC’s social media investigations correspondent, has spent the past year speaking to whistleblowers and insiders from social media companies, revealing how algorithms designed to connect people have been helping to tear them apart. We ask if this week’s verdict is just the start of something much bigger.

President Volodymyr Zelensky says Ukraine has signed a deal with Saudi Arabia to share its drone defence expertise and technology.

Zelensky said Saudi Arabia was facing the same type of ballistic missile and drone attacks from Iran that Ukraine had been resisting for more than four years from Russia.

"We are ready to share our expertise and systems with Saudi Arabia and to work together to strengthen the protection of lives," he said in a post on X.

Zelensky said he had also discussed with Mohammed bin Salman reports that Russia was assisting Iran's regime, as well as developments in the fuel market and energy co-operation.

The Pentagon has denied media reports that President Donald Trump is weighing up sending 10,000 troops to the Middle East.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the potential deployment is to give Trump "more military options even as he weighs peace talks with Tehran”.

The force would likely include infantry and armoured vehicles, the outlet reports, and would come on top of the 5,000 US Marines that have already been deployed to the region.

It comes as Iranian state media says the Strait of Hormuz is closed this morning, with vessels being turned back.

Since the start of the Iran War, hearing the views of ordinary Iranians has been difficult. There's a ban on international contact imposed by the authorities, the media is controlled and there are internet blackouts.

But some voices are getting through. Footage and interviews obtained by the BBC gives a rare insight into the experiences of some of those living through the war.

The Pentagon is set to send thousands of elite troops from the elite 82nd Airborne division to the Middle East. The paratroopers are specialists in airborne assault operations.

It comes as President Trump claimed that talks with Iran were happening “right now” and that Tehran wants to end the war. He said members of his administration were negotiating with “the right people” in Iran and said “we’ve won this war”.

Trump’s claims came after Iran had denied that any contact with the US had taken place, with the Speaker of Iran's parliament calling the claims of talks “fake news” designed to “manipulate” oil and financial markets.

Meanwhile the exchange of fire between Israel and Iran has continued. Iran fired missiles into Israel after it hit dozens of sites inside Iran.

Israel has also continued its assault in southern Lebanon, where it announced plans to seize and occupy areas to create what it called a “security zone”.

Reeta Chakrabarti presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Jeremy Bowen and Helena Humphrey.
