[6.5] Europe launches advanced AI weather forecasting system — ft.com [$]

A new AI weather forecasting system launched by the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) promises improved predictions for up to 15 days. This system is more accurate than traditional methods, offering global forecasts freely to the public.

The ECMWF's experimental model showed a 20% increase in accuracy for key predictions compared to conventional techniques. It can predict tropical cyclone paths 12 hours further in advance, enhancing warning times for severe weather events.

The ECMWF has also developed an open-source framework for AI weather systems called Anemoi. Future improvements will include higher resolution forecasts and ensemble forecasting, which generates multiple predictions to provide a range of possible outcomes.

[5.9] Israel demands demilitarization of southern Syria — bbc.com

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded the full demilitarisation of southern Syria, particularly in Quneitra, Deraa, and Suweida. He stated that Israel would not allow the forces of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham or the new Syrian army to enter this region.

This announcement marks a shift in Israel's approach, indicating that it will retain its presence in the territory it seized since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad. Previously, Israel considered its military position temporary, aimed at preventing extremist groups from advancing.

Syria's new interim President, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has expressed a desire to avoid conflict with Israel and to uphold a disengagement agreement from 1973. However, Netanyahu remains skeptical of Sharaa’s assurances, reflecting concerns over Israel's security and regional stability.
