Israel relocated alleged abuses, detainees say
Under pressure from Israel’s top court to improve conditions at a prison for Palestinians seized in Gaza, the military transferred hundreds of detainees to newly opened camps. But Israeli human rights organizations that interviewed dozens of current and former detainees said abuses at these new camps were just as bad. The alleged abuses include beatings, excessive handcuffing, and poor diet and health care. The rights groups are now asking the Supreme Court to force the military to fix the problem once and for all. Asked for a response, the military said it complies with international law and “completely rejects allegations regarding the systematic abuse of detainees.”
Pilot and 2 girls survive on airplane wing on icy Alaska lake
A pilot and his two young daughters have survived on the wing of a plane for about 12 hours after it crashed and was partially submerged in an icy Alaska lake. They were rescued after being spotted by a good Samaritan pilot helping with the search. The missing plane was flown by a 38-year-old man whose name has not been released. They were on a sightseeing tour of the Kenai Peninsula when the plane went missing. They were found Monday morning and rescued by helicopter by the Alaska Army National Guard. The pilot who located them says it was a miracle they survived.

Waymo plans to bring its driverless taxis to Washington in 2026
Waymo on Tuesday added Washington D.C. to its pioneering robotaxi service’s steadily expanding list of U.S. markets, although passengers will have to wait until next year until they can take a ride around the nation’s capital city. For now, Waymo’s robotaxis will continue to map Washington’s streets and corridors with a safety driver sitting behind the wheel to take control of the vehicle if something goes wrong — a precaution required under the regulations currently in force in the District of Columbia. Waymo's robotaxis currently provide 200,000 paid weekly trips in Phoenix, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area and Austin, Texas.
