Beatbot AquaSense X and Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra are easy to compare because both sit in the premium end of home pool cleaning. They are not basic pool gadgets for someone who only wants a quick floor clean once in a while. They are designed for homeowners who want smarter automation, broader cleaning coverage, and less repeated manual work. Still, they are not aimed at exactly the same buyer. Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra is more about advanced AI mapping, multi zone cleaning, and handling complex pool layouts. Beatbot AquaSense X moves further into premium convenience, especially for homeowners who want…

The US Department of Justice announced that this week’s unprecedented settlement of President Donald Trump’s lawsuit over the leaking of his tax returns blocks the IRS from reviewing tax filings that Trump, his family and his businesses made in the past. Some lawmakers and legal experts say the department has violated federal law with its addendum to the settlement that shuts down current possible tax audits and investigations. The justice department, however, says the addendum is simply a customary waiver used in legal settlements. In January, Trump and his two eldest sons sued the IRS [Internal Revenue Service] for $10bn…
Indian politics has acquired an unusual mascot: the cockroach. It’s not the lotus of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), India’s governing party, or the hand symbol of the opposition Congress, but the cockroach – stubborn, reviled and considered indestructible – which has recently become an unlikely yet relatable political symbol for young Indians online. The insect was thrust into the spotlight last week after controversial comments made by India’s Chief Justice Surya Kant. During a hearing, he allegedly compared unemployed young people drifting towards journalism and activism with cockroaches and parasites. He later clarified that he was referring specifically to…
The Democratic Republic of Congo cancelled its pre-World Cup training camp in the capital, Kinshasa, because of an Ebola outbreak in the east of the country. Preparations have been moved to Belgium amid the upsurge, which is thought to have killed more than 130 people. The World Health Organization (WHO) has called the outbreak a “public health emergency of international concern”, but said it was not at pandemic level. Jerry Kalemo, a spokesperson for the national football team, told international media that pre-tournament games in Europe would go ahead as planned, as the squad gears up for their first World…
The World Health Organization (WHO) says it could take up to nine months before a vaccine against this particular species of Ebola is ready. Two possible “candidate vaccines” against the Bundibugyo species are being developed, but neither had gone through clinical trials yet, WHO advisor Dr Vasee Moorthy said on Wednesday. WHO chief Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said there have been 600 suspected cases of Ebola and 139 suspected deaths but numbers are expected to rise given the time taken to detect the virus. Speaking to journalists in Geneva, he said 51 cases have been confirmed in the Democratic Republic…

A suspect arrested over the brutal murder of Kenyan gospel artist Rachel Wandeto was her regular taxi driver. And police now believe the driver identified as Josiah Njeru Njiri and his suspected accomplices targeted her because of money. He had taken her to several places including State House where it is believed she got money. The suspect knew she had received money from the places she visited on various occasions in recent past. “So he organized to get a share of it from her. We believe this was a main motive,” said a source who ruled out politics. The police…
The US military has been publicly broadcasting the location of military surveillance flights near Cuba on plane-tracking websites, as Washington continues to exert pressure on the island’s communist leadership. Leaving flight transponders on “is likely deliberate”, said UK drone expert Dr Steve Wright, with the US intending to send “a clear message it has eyes in the sky to maintain the squeeze”. BBC Verify analysis of data from flight-tracking website Flightradar24 shows at least five US Navy P-8A Poseidon surveillance aircraft and three MQ-4C Triton surveillance drones have been operating in the Caribbean near Cuba since 11 May. Some aircraft…
Two Russian warplanes “repeatedly and dangerously” intercepted an unarmed RAF spy plane over the Black Sea last month, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has said. A Russian Su-35 fighter approached the Rivet Joint surveillance aircraft, getting close enough to trigger its emergency systems, disabling its autopilot. And a Su-27 jet also carried out six passes in front of the RAF plane, getting as close as six metres (19ft) from its nose. Defence Secretary John Healey praised the “outstanding professionalism” of the RAF crew during “unacceptable” Russian flybys, which the MoD says is the most dangerous Russian action since 2022, when…

It is understood about 350 jobs located in Ireland are under threat at Meta. The technology company told employees in a memo last month that it planned to cut 10% of its workforce – roughly 8,000 staff. It said it would also not fill thousands more open jobs it had been hiring for.

Former US congressman Barney Frank who famously took on Wall Street and made himself one of the first known openly gay representatives died on Tuesday night, US media reports. He was 86. Frank, who represented southern Massachusetts in the House of Representatives for over three decades, had been living in hospice care at his home in Maine since April.

The Democratic Party of Kenya has accused the Kenya Kwanza administration of using global tensions in the Middle East and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz to deflect blame from what it described as “homegrown” economic mismanagement behind rising fuel prices and the soaring cost of living. In a strongly worded statement on Wednesday, party leader Justin Muturi said the government was unfairly attributing the fuel crisis entirely to international oil market shocks while ignoring local fiscal policies that continue to burden Kenyans. Muturi argued that ordinary citizens are carrying the weight of excessive taxation, opaque borrowing arrangements, and controversial…
