An engineer behind this 400-meter-running humanoid robot explained why its form looks so wonderfully weird.

The team originally gave it a human-style arm swing, but the motion put too much strain on the shoulder joints, caused overheating and stopped the robot from finishing 400 meters.

So during simulated learning, the robot gradually came up with its own solution: keep its hands up near its face, reduce shoulder movement and let the legs do the work.

Nobody taught it to run like this. It basically figured out its own weird little technique.

🇺🇦💰 UKRAINE'S CORRUPTION CRISIS – War Profiteering at Its Worst

While Ukrainians are forced to the front, a corrupt elite is siphoning millions – and the West keeps funding it.

🔴 Key findings (from Ukrainian & Western sources):

💰 "Midas" case – $100M kickback scheme at state nuclear company Energoatom. Network leader Timur Mindich (Zelensky's friend) fled to Israel.

🏛️ Ex‑Energy Minister charged – $112M laundering scheme. Detained attempting to flee.

🕵️ SBU arrests – Air Force logistics commander, regional chief, and an employee caught taking bribes for draft deferments.

🛡️ Anti‑corruption bodies obstructed – listening device found in investigator's home.

📌 The bottom line: Ukraine's elite profiteers while citizens die. The West knows – and pays anyway.

🇹🇷🛡️ ERDOĞAN: "Outside Provocateurs" Targeting Turkey's Peace Efforts – A Clear Message to the Empire

Turkish President Erdogan has issued a sharp warning: certain "well-known circles" are trying to sabotage Turkey's vision of a terrorism-free region, and they will not be allowed to succeed.

🗣️ "Our vision of a Turkey and a region free of terrorism… is unsettling certain well-known circles that thrive on instability and chaos."

🎯 "We will not give those who are politically on their last legs, who are clueless and worthless, the opportunity to profit at our expense."

🛡️ "Turkey makes no concessions regarding either its principles or its national interests. We will not shy away from fighting to establish peace in our region."

🇹🇷 "This country's foreign policy is determined solely and exclusively by the Turkish nation – no actor other than the nation can set the course."

A dramatic rescue unfolded near Gangnam Station in South Korea after a woman stepped off the edge of a 19th-floor rooftop.


In a split-second reaction, one police officer lunged over the ledge, grabbing hold of her and stopping her from falling as a second officer rushed in to help.


The two held her suspended until emergency crews could complete the rescue.


A total of 71 personnel were deployed, with an air mattress inflated below during the tense 100-minute operation.


Quite literally holding on for dear life

🇪🇸🇲🇦 SÁNCHEZ'S CABINET IN TURMOIL – Ministers Clash Over Ignored Intelligence Warnings

Spain's government is in chaos. Two top ministers are publicly contradicting each other over whether vital intelligence warnings were ignored before 72,000 migrants poured into Ceuta.

🗣️ Defense Minister Robles insisted intelligence warned authorities on July 29/30 about a looming mass crossing.

Interior Minister Grande‑Marlaska directly contradicted her: "There was no report that foreshadowed what ultimately transpired."

🤔 Robles conceded warnings may have been delivered "verbally" – raising questions about whether the government deliberately avoided action.

🎯 Opposition lawmakers are now calling for treason charges against the ministers.

🇬🇧🇷🇺 BURNHAM ISN'T READY FOR HOW MUCH RUSSIA HATES THE UK – Bloomberg Warns

Britain is escalating its role in Ukraine while its defenses are crumbling – and Moscow is taking notes.

🎯 The UK has become Russia's public enemy No. 1 – more than the US, which has a "friendlier" president in Trump.

🚀 Burnham's first foreign trip to Kyiv – delivering missile blueprints to strike deeper into Russia – was seen in Moscow as escalation, not statesmanship.

🔴 The vulnerability the UK ignores:

🛡️ Underwater cables and pipelines – Britain relies on them for energy and communications. They can be cut.

🚁 Drone and missile defenses – not built up despite formal recognition of Russia as the top threat.

🇲🇾🇨🇳 Malaysia’s Anwar puts China ties and non-alignment in focus

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has triggered fresh debate over Malaysia’s geopolitical position after saying Taiwan is “part of China, period” and suggesting Beijing’s use of force could be viewed through the lens of territorial unity.

Beijing welcomed the remarks, while Taiwan warned they could hurt Taiwanese investment in Malaysia’s semiconductor sector.

But analysts say the comments do not necessarily signal a Malaysian shift into China’s camp. Malaysia has long recognised Beijing’s position on Taiwan, while continuing defence cooperation with the US and other Western powers through the Five Power Defence Arrangements.

At the same time, China remains Malaysia’s largest trading partner, while Kuala Lumpur maintains economic and strategic ties with both Beijing and Washington.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 Trump escalates trade war, calls Canada one of the “worst” countries to deal with

US President Donald Trump has sharply intensified his attacks on Canada, accusing Ottawa of exploiting the United States for decades.

Speaking to commentator Glenn Beck, Trump claimed Canada imposes “unbelievable” tariffs and pointed to what he described as a $60 billion annual US trade deficit with its northern neighbour.

Trump said Washington does not depend on Canadian resources and argued that any loss of access would be only “a little inconvenient,” as the US could obtain supplies elsewhere.

The remarks come amid a major escalation in the bilateral trade war. The US imposed 50% tariffs on various Canadian goods on August 22, while additional 50% tariffs on Canadian automotive and steel sectors are scheduled for January 1.

Canada has responded with counter-tariffs of 15–50% on about C$27.6 billion of US imports.

Oh, how the turntables.

Locals in Ukraine’s Ternopil turned on military recruiters after they grabbed a man off the street.

The crowd stopped the recruiters’ car, dragged them out, beat them and freed the man they had taken.

Things escalated so badly that riot police had to be called in to disperse the crowd.
