The Best Original Movies to Watch on Apple TV+

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Though relatively new on the Hollywood scene (its first original film was released in 2019), Apple TV+'s slate of original films has included not just charming indies, but award-winning prestige pictures. CODA was Oscar's best picture just a couple of years ago (the first film from a streaming service to claim the honor), and the streamer's movies earned it 13 nominations for 2023, even if it got nothing for 2024. (We all have off years.) It's not all prestige, though! Apple also has some delightfully disposable films, such as the globe-trotting new Guy Ritchie movie.Given the complexities of film financing today, you might be excused for believing that many of these movies were typical theatrical releases—but, strictl...

Mumbai: Brother donates part of liver to save sister from Wilson’s disease

In a heartfelt gesture of brotherly love, 32-year-old Anas from Palanpur, Gujarat, donated a part of his liver to save his 27-year-old sister, Humera, who underwent surgery at a Mumbai hospital due to complications arising from Wilson’s disease. Wilson’s disease is a rare genetic condition that leads to excessive copper build-up in the body. If left untreated, it can lead to progressive liver failure, neurological problems, and even death. When the siblings’ older brother Owais, was diagnosed with Wilson’s disease in 2017, the family experienced its first crisis. Following his diagnosis, medical professionals recommended that all his siblings undergo screening. The youngest, Humera, also tested positive. She started her course of medication in 2018, but over time, her health deteriorated...

Conservative MP calls for apology to Christian singer Sean Feucht over cancellations

By Staff The Canadian Press Posted August 9, 2025 3:19 pm 1 min read Descrease article font size Increase article font size A Conservative MP is calling on Identity and Culture Minister Steven Guilbeault to apologize to American Christian rocker and missionary Sean Feucht after the permits for recent concerts in venues overseen by Parks Canada were revoked. Marilyn Gladu, the Opposition critic for civil liberties, says in a letter dated Friday that denying the permits did not “preserve the principle of inclusion” but had the opposite effect in excluding Feucht and many Canadians who had planned to attend the events.Feucht desc...

Sydney Sweeney’s controversial jeans ad draws praise from President Trump – National

U.S. President Donald Trump is commending Sydney Sweeney for her recent American Eagle campaign, following a wave of social media backlash over its messaging. The denim brand’s latest advertisement, fronted by the Euphoria actor, whose tagline plays on the words “jeans” and “genes,” has been targeted by critics who suggest the brand is celebrating traits typically associated with whiteness.“Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour. My jeans are blue,” Sweeney says in the ad, which appears to have been scrubbed from the internet. Other versions still remain, such as this one, below. Story continues below advertisement On Monday, Trump told a reporter while disembarking a plane in...

OpenAI’s Rollout of GPT-5 Is Going Terribly

On Thursday, OpenAI officially revealed GPT-5 to the world. The much-hyped presentation was sparse on many specific benchmarks comparing GPT-5 to its past models, but OpenAI's staff was adamant: this model is the best, most knowledgeable, and most powerful one to date.GPT-5 has its hatersMany of the users who have been test driving GPT-5 in the 24 hours since, however, disagree. A visit to r/ChatGPT is enough to see the scope of the situation: The front page is full of posts complaining about the current state of the model, including: "GPT-5 is the biggest [piece] of garbage even as a paid user," "OpenAI just pulled the biggest bait-and-switch in AI history and I'm done," and "ChatGPT-5 rollout is an unmitigated disaster."One of the most prominent complaints concerns OpenAI's decision to d...

Researchers identify antibodies that can protect children from Strep A infection

UK scientists have discovered how some children develop natural immunity to Strep A, a common bacterial infection -- a vital breakthrough which could help develop vaccines to save up to half a million lives globally each year. While Strep A often causes a mild sore throat or skin infections, it sometimes be life-threatening. In low and middle-income countries hundreds of thousands of people die each year after contracting the infection. This increased risk is often linked to heart damage resulting from repeated infections. Researchers from the University of Sheffield were able to identify the specific antibodies that are linked to protection from the potentially fatal infection. "Our findings represent a significant step towards a safe and effective vaccine that could save around half ...

I Ran OpenAI’s ‘Open-Weight’ Model on My Laptop (but I Wouldn’t Recommend It)

All AI eyes might be on GPT-5 this week, OpenAI's latest large language model. But looking past the hype (and the disappointment), there was another big OpenAI announcement this week: gpt-oss, a new AI model you can run locally on your own device. I got it working on my laptop and my iMac, though I'm not so sure I'd recommend you do the same.What's the big deal with gpt-oss?gpt-oss is, like GPT-5, an AI model. However, unlike OpenAI's latest and greatest LLM, gpt-oss is "open-weight." That allows developers to customize and fine-tune the model to their specific use cases. It's different from open source, however: OpenAI would have had to include both the underlying code for the model as well as the data the model is trained on. Instead, the company is simply giving developers access to the...
