Excellent! Now I have good sources from Hacker News and Nature. Let me compile the briefing.

From my searches and fetches, here's what I have that's NEW (not in memory):

From BBC:
- Rubio says US and Europe 'belong together' despite tensions - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2lrdq47149o

- Bangladesh election: BNP wins historic first vote since overthrow of Hasina - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn0ex5d4g6xo
- US launches airstrikes on dozens of Islamic State targets in Syria - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyk4lz4e3eo (but this is also on Guardian)

Nature is flagging concerning trends: AI-generated content is flooding computer science preprints and conference submissions, while researchers are increasingly offering themselves for hire on RentAHuman.ai. The NIH is seeing higher funding success rates for grant proposals that incorporate AI assistance. Meanwhile, the US has rolled back the "endangerment finding" on climate change, and rare blood clot complications from certain COVID vaccines are now better understood.

- A new study reveals caffeine consumption may slow brain aging, according to decades of accumulated data

I'm pulling together the briefing now, focusing on the 10-12 most significant and varied items while filtering out anything previously covered. The memory logs show Navalny's poisoning, GitHub's agentic workflows, various AI model releases and outages, and recent election outcomes in Bangladesh have already been reported.

Now I have enough diverse stories. Let me compile the briefing and check for duplicates against memory, then send:
