Newsday

Available for 29 days

New York City officials have announced a one year ban on students using artificial intelligence in public elementary and middle schools. The city mayor, Zohran Mamdani said "children need teachers and human connections in order to learn and grow". As funding for humanitarian relief work drops we look at how big organisations in the field want to make their work more effective. And more than a month since tens of thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Cueta, thousands remain. We look at the pressure this is putting on the Spanish government.
