Measles cases are surging, making global elimination a ‘distant goal,’ WHO says
GENEVA — For decades, measles vaccination has been a global success story.

Warner settles lawsuit with AI music firm and launches joint venture
NEW YORK — Warner Music Group (WMG) will begin an artificial intelligence (AI) music venture with technology start-up Suno — a year after it sued the firm in a landmark case.As part of the settlement agreement struck between the two firms, Warner will let users create AI-generated music on Suno using the voices, names and likeness of artists who opt-in to the program.The record label, which represents artists like Dua Lipa, Coldplay and Ed Sheeran, was among several music giants like Sony Music that sued Suno and a similar platform called Udio.AI-generated content has been controversial, with many artists voicing concerns that it could undermine human songwriters.Starting next year, Suno will roll out new advanced and licensed models to its generative-AI music platform, which allows...

Long lost Moon-forming planet formed in the inner Solar System, new analysis shows
LONDON — A long-lost planet that helped create the Moon may have formed much closer to the Sun than scientists once thought, according to new research.Scientists have discovered that Theia, the ancient planet believed to have helped form the Moon, most likely originated from the inner Solar System.For decades, the leading explanation for the Moon’s birth has been that Theia struck the early Earth about four and a half billion years ago.Debris from that collision formed the Moon, with material from Theia ending up in both bodies.The idea, known as the giant impact theory, has been discussed since the first Apollo samples were analysed more than 50 years ago.However, Theia disappeared billions of years ago, leaving scientists no direct chemical evidence to support the hypothesis. Its...

BANGKOK — Miss Mexico Fatima Bosch has been crowned the new Miss Universe in Thailand on Friday — marking the end of an exceptionally scandal filled pageant season.The 25-year-old contestant had earlier in November walked out of a pageant event after an official publicly berated her in front of dozens of contestants and threatened to disqualify those who supported her.A week after, two judges resigned, with one of them accusing organisers of rigging the competition.Miss Universe, founded in the US, is one of the longest-running beauty pageants on the planet.
