    Alison Brie weighs in on the revived ‘Scream’ franchise

    Alison Brie, known for her role as Rebecca Walters in Scream 4, has shared her thoughts on the revived franchise. 

    In a recent appearance on the Shut Up Evan Podcast with her husband Dave Franco, Brie jokingly asked about her potential return to the franchise, referencing the infamous “new Scream rules” that allow characters to come back from the dead.

    Franco sparked the conversation, saying, “I feel like with new Scream rules, even though she dies brutally, we could bring her back.” Brie responded with a smile, “Yeah, where’s my role in Scream 7?” 

    The couple’s discussion highlights the franchise’s tendency to resurrect characters, including Matthew Lillard’s Stu Macher, David Arquette’s Dewey Riley, and Scott Foley’s Roman Bridger, who will all return for the seventh installment.

    Brie shared her thoughts on the current state of the Scream franchise, stating, “My problem with the current era of the Scream franchise is that too many people live.” She jokingly suggested that the core four characters should die, saying, “The core four needs to die! … We should be down to two of the core four by Scream 7.” 

    Franco chimed in, referencing Dewey’s death in the previous film, which Brie called a “mistake.”

    Scream 7 is set to hit theaters on February 27, 2026, and will be directed by Kevin Williamson, the original writer of the franchise. 

    The film will also see the return of Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott, who wasn’t in the last installment, Scream VI. With the franchise’s history of unexpected twists and turns, fans are eagerly anticipating what’s in store for the next chapter.

  • Indian surveillance drone captured in Lahore

    Indian surveillance drone captured in Lahore

    LAHORE: An Indian surveillance drone was seized in the Jandiala Road area of Manawan, Lahore, police said on Friday.

    According to SP Cantt Qazi Ali Raza, the drone was a hexacopter model and has been taken into custody by local authorities. Initial findings suggest the drone originated from across the border, he added.

    SP Raza further stated that sensitive intelligence agencies have launched a detailed investigation, and more facts are expected to emerge following a thorough probe.

    Earlier, the Pakistan Army effectively intercepted and downed an Indian quadcopter which had entered the country’s airspace over the Line of Control in the Manawar sector of Bhimber.

    The drone was intended to be used for reconnaissance, said security officials, but the timely and accurate action by the army foiled the attempt.

    The event serves to exemplify the vigilance, professionalism, and excellent defensive capabilities of the Pakistan Army. Sources asserted that the military is always on the ready to counter any type of aggression, and the entire country is solidly behind them in defending the nation.

    The drone incursion is amid escalated tensions in the wake of the Pahalgam incident, where India started issuing threats and indulging in provocative tactics.

    India’s recent attempt to breach Pakistan’s airspace is understood as a continuation of these acts of hostility.

  • Study Counters Others on GLP-1, Diabetic Retinopathy Link

    Study Counters Others on GLP-1, Diabetic Retinopathy Link

    Some reassuring news for patients taking GLP-1 receptor agonists: Concerns that the drugs may cause retinopathy may be overblown.

    A new analysis of nearly 160,000 people with diabetes taking four different GLP-1 medications for at least a year has found no increased risk for diabetic retinopathy associated with the drugs.

    Andrew J. Barkmeier, MD

    “We found no difference in the risk of sight-threatening retinopathy between GLP-1 agents among adults with type 2 diabetes and moderate cardiovascular risk, and this supports choosing the most appropriate agent for patients without consideration of potential difference in diabetic retinopathy complications,” Andrew J. Barkmeier, MD, a retina specialist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, reported at the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) 2025 Annual Meeting in Long Beach, California.

    Barkmeier presented data from a retrospective analysis of patients in a commercial and Medicare database from 2014 through 2021 who were taking semaglutide, dulaglutide, liraglutide, or exenatide.

    Previous Red Flag

    The 2016 SUSTAIN-6 trial, which evaluated cardiovascular outcomes in people taking semaglutide for diabetes, reported participants had a 76% greater risk for retinopathy complications. Since then, Barkmeier said, clinicians have been concerned about the potential for eye damage in patients taking GLP-1 agents, and more specifically, semaglutide. A 2023 meta-analysis found that specific GLP-1s, along with patient demographic and clinical characteristics, may also influence the risk for diabetic retinopathy.

    But Barkmeier told Medscape Medical News the new study “reassures the physicians prescribing these medications and the patients taking these medications that they can choose the most appropriate GLP-1 medication for them without having to consider potential differences in diabetic retinopathy risk.”

    He and his colleagues performed a three-way comparison of patients initially treated with exenatide, dulaglutide, or liraglutide, along with a two-way comparison of semaglutide and dulaglutide over the latter years of the study, “when both of those medications were prominently prescribed,” Barkmeier told attendees at the meeting. Neither comparison found any differences in the primary composite outcome, which was treatment for diabetic macular edema or proliferative retinopathy, between the drugs.

    In the three-way comparison, the rate of probability of requiring retina treatment for patients was 0.4% for all three GLP-1 agents at 2 years and 0.6%-0.7% at 3 years. In the two-way comparison, the probability of treating for retinopathy outcomes for dulaglutide and semaglutide was 0.5% and 0.4% at 2 years and 0.8% and 0.7% at 3 years, respectively.

    The three-way comparison was noteworthy, Barkmeier said, because the median follow-up time was around 2.5 years, and more than 12,000 patients have at least 5 years of follow-up.

    “The systemic benefits of these medications are so large, and the risks of reducing cardiovascular events are so clear that any continued research related to eye complications has to be weighed in the context of all the benefits,” Barkmeier told Medscape Medical News.

    ‘Stay in Lane’

    Geoffrey G. Emerson, MD, PhD, a retina specialist with Retina Consultants of Minnesota and president-elect of ASRS, said Barkmeier’s research answers questions about GLP-1 drugs and retinopathy raised in previous research.

    “His large cohort gives us confidence that GLP-1 agents are similar in terms of their effect on diabetic retinopathy, with generally beneficial effects,” Emerson told Medscape Medical News.

    Studies have found GLP-1 medications may exacerbate diabetic macular edema early in the treatment, “but usually this is short-term and manageable,” Emerson said. “We still caution that any treatment that rapidly lowers hyperglycemia can temporarily worsen diabetic macular edema.”

    The study suggests that retina specialists “should stay in our lane” and take care of retinopathy in patients taking GLP-1 agents, Emerson added.

    “This story is far from over,” he said. “These obesity and diabetes treatments impact the eye in various ways, including perhaps worsening macular degeneration and probably reducing the risk of retinal vein occlusion, retinal artery occlusion, and late-stage diabetic retinopathy. Overall, we think the ocular effects are mostly beneficial, but stay tuned; this is a hot topic.”

    The study was independently supported. Barkmeier reported having no relevant financial relationships. Emerson reported having relationships with Roche, Eli Lilly & Company, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, and Novartis.

  • India ousted in quarter-finals of mixed team compound archery

    India ousted in quarter-finals of mixed team compound archery

    The Indian archers tried hard to reduce the four-point deficit in the final two rounds but couldn’t succeed.

    Earlier, Madhura Dhamangaonkar and Abhishek Verma had earned top seeding for the mixed team event after topping the qualification with a combined score of 1415. The Korean team, with 1392, were seeded eighth.

    Abhishek Verma and Jyothi Surekha Vennam had won the mixed team compound archery bronze medal at the last edition of the World Games held in Birmingham back in 2022.

    Meanwhile, four of the five Indian archers in action at the 12th World Games made it to the individual quarter-finals and will be in medal contention on the final day of compound archery competitions on Friday.

    Two-time individual Asian Games silver medal winner Abhishek Verma was handed a bye in the first round of the men’s compound draw and beat Puerto Rico’s Jean Pizarro 149-143 in the second to make the top eight.

    Rishabh Yadav beat Riku Van Tonder of New Zealand and Julio Barillas of Guatemala to seal his entry in the men’s quarters. Rakesh Kumar, though, bowed out after losing 147-146 to Batuhan Akcaoglu of Turkiye.

    Meanwhile, Parneet Kaur accounted for South Africa’s Jeanine Van Kradenburg and Mexican fifth seed Mariana Bernal Sanchez to secure her entry in the women’s compound individual quarters.

    Madhura Dhamangaonkar, who won the women’s individual gold medal at the Shanghai leg of the 2025 Archery World Cup, got an opening-round bye before defeating Geesa Bybordy of the Islamic Republic of Iran comfortably in the round of 16.

    India have sent a 17-member contingent to the World Games 2025 in Chengdu. Besides archery, Indian athletes will also compete in medal events in billiards, racquetball, roller sports and wushu.

  • Natsiaa 2025: Gaypalani Waṉambi wins $100,000 award for ‘exquisite’ artwork made with discarded road signs | Indigenous art

    Natsiaa 2025: Gaypalani Waṉambi wins $100,000 award for ‘exquisite’ artwork made with discarded road signs | Indigenous art

    Gaypalani Waṉambi grew up surrounded by art, with her family home in north-eastern Arnhem Land doubling as a studio where her parents and siblings painted on bark and wooden poles. In her late teens, she started assisting her father, esteemed artist Mr W Waṉambi, who taught her how to paint the clan’s ancient designs, using traditional materials such as ochre. As he branched into more experimental forms such as animation and etching on metal, she too began to experiment with these new mediums.

    On Friday night, the Yolŋu woman was awarded the $100,000 top prize at the 42nd National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art awards (Natsiaas), one of Australia’s richest and most prestigious art prizes, for an artwork that honoured his legacy while forging her own path.

    Waṉambi’s work was among seven winners across categories ranging from bark painting to multimedia, with six of the awards won by women, including senior Pitjantjatjara artist Iluwanti Ken, who won the painting award. Each category winner receives $15,000.

    Gaypalani’s winning work, Burwu, blossom, is a shimmering large-scale depiction of one of her clan’s ancient songlines, etched on to the back of discarded metal road signs; a powerful fusion of ancient stories and knowledge with contemporary technologies and materials, and a tribute the cultural inheritance passed down by her father.

    Created on a 3 sq metre assemblage of 15 metal road signs, the artwork’s surface depicts hundreds of stringybark blossoms and thousands of bees, referencing the songline of Wuyal, the honey hunter – an important ancestor for the Marrakulu clan. Viewing the etched illustrations from different angles, they seem to shimmer with movement – like the vibrating of tiny wings.

    The back of the work is a collage of red and yellow road signs: “DETOUR” reads one; “ROAD CLOSED AHEAD”, another.

    In a joint statement, the judging panel – Yamatji curator Stephen Gilchrist, Meriam artist Gail Mabo, and Bundjalung, Muruwari and Kamilaroi artist and researcher Brian Martin – described Burwu, blossom as “an exceptional work that visually and materially explores different relationships to and understandings of Country”, saying: “Each jewel-like panel shimmers with exquisitely rendered designs that are deeply anchored to Yolŋu philosophies.”

    In Yolŋu culture, sacred designs are passed down by knowledge holders to the younger generations. For a long time it passed between men, but from the 1970s onwards senior men began to teach their daughters. Gaypalani’s father taught her to paint the miny’tji for the clan’s saltwater stories, and she assisted him in creating the detailed depictions of schools of wawurritjpal (sea-mullets) he was renowned for. He also taught her the designs for the freshwater Wuyal songline.

    “I showed these designs to him, to my father – my paintings of the honey,” Gaypalani said in a prerecorded statement in Yolŋu Matha. “That is when he told me ‘Great! You will take this design now as your own. And you will paint this when I am no more.”

    Mr Waṉambi died unexpectedly in 2022, aged 59. Writing about the Wuyal songline for the landmark international exhibition Madayin, which he co-curated, Mr Waṉambi wrote: “When we see the flowers blossoming, we sing dhaŋarra, and it reminds us of all the spirits of the people who have gone before us and will bloom again.”

    Gaypalani’s etchings on metal are part of the found-art movement that has blossomed in Yirrkala in recent years, spearheaded by artists such as Gunybi Ganambarr. Fuelled by a spirit of innovation, these artists started using discarded road signs and detritus from mining operations as canvases, etching designs on to their surfaces.

    Gaypalani is the only Yolŋu woman, so far, to make art in this medium.

    A spirit of innovation was present across this year’s finalists, which are now all on show at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT) in Garramilla/Darwin.

    “I think the Natsiaas provide a platform for people to try something new; to experiment and push their practice a bit further,” says Kate ten Buuren, a Taungurung artist and curator who worked with Keith Munro, the Museum of Contemporary Art’s director of First Nations art and cultures, and Balanggarra artist Karen Mills to select this year’s 71 finalists from more than 200 entries.

    The winner of the multimedia category, Jahkarli Felicitas Romanis, a Naarm/Melbourne-based photographer of Pitta Pitta descent, experimented with Google Earth mapping and visualisation tools to create distorted images of Pitta Pitta Country for her winning diptych: Pitta Pitta (Extracted) and Pitta Pitta (Google’s Gaze).

    “Mapping has historically been used as a tool of power and control, and it’s a really detached way of connecting to place,” Romanis said. “We never connect with place in that way. It’s always feet on the ground.”

    Naomi Hobson, hailing from the tiny riverside community of Coen, Cape York, won this year’s work on paper award for her photo Present and Beyond, which shows a teenage boy relaxing by the river. While it appears carefully staged, Hobson said she took the photo moments after seeing him playing with his younger brothers and a wooden boat, and he chose the pose himself.

    It’s a stark contrast to how Hobson’s ancestors were photographed. “There’s old photos of my great-grandfather, and what was done for him to be in that photo wasn’t comfortable, it wasn’t nice,” she said. “And so I wanted to respond to that, and say [to the people I photograph]: this is your image. You own it. You take ownership of it.”

    Her Natsiaa win is more than just a personal achievement, she added: “It’s not just me. It’s his win. It’s his celebration as well as his family’s … this is a celebration for all of us, for all the families, the community, for all the young people out there that can look at this image and know that they can achieve their goals and dreams and be proud of themselves.”

  • Scientists use AI to teach drones to program themselves

    Scientists use AI to teach drones to program themselves

    Professor Peter Burke’s AI-powered drone generates its command centre mid-flight, dramatically reducing build time and reliance on human programming.

    A computer scientist has shown that robots can now write the brains of other robots, thanks to generative AI.

    Professor Peter Burke from the University of California, Irvine, has demonstrated a drone capable of creating and hosting its own control system using AI-written code, significantly reducing the time usually needed to build such infrastructure.

    The project used several AI models and coding tools to prompt the creation of a real-time, web-based command centre hosted on the drone itself. The final system, which runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, allows the drone to operate independently while remaining accessible over the internet.

    Unlike traditional systems, where ground control is handled externally, the drone manages its own mission planning and navigation through a built-in AI-generated website.

    Burke’s team used tools such as Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Windsurf to build the system across several sprints. Despite context limitations in each model, the final version was completed in just over 100 hours, around twenty times faster than a previous project of similar complexity.

    The final codebase consisted of 10,000 lines and included everything from flight commands to map-based interaction and GPS tracking.

    Although the technology shows promising potential in fields like aerial imagery and spatial AI, experts have raised safety concerns.

    While a manual override system was included in the experiment, the ability for robots to self-generate control logic introduces new ethical and operational challenges, especially as such systems evolve to operate in unpredictable environments.
