Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board are in Miami as the investigation into the crash of an Amazon cargo plane that killed five people and injured five others continues. Ampere's Jacqueline Diaz has more. Investigators have recovered flight data in the cockpit voice recorder from the crashed plane. The broader work by investigators is just getting started. They are expected to stay on scene for a week. That's according to Jennifer Hamedi, chair of the National Transportation Safety Board. Based on her latest updates, here's some of what we know. The Amazon Prime cargo plane overran the runway. It crashed into an airline cleaning company van that was carrying seven people.
Then hit a car before skidding to a stop. Comedy did not comment on the status of those who were injured. Recovery of the victims is still happening. The cause of the crash has yet to be determined. Jacqueline Diaz and PR News. Hundreds of anti-immigrant protesters clashed with police overnight on England's self-cultivation. The British government has condemned them as intimidating and thuggish. Hundreds of anti-immigrant protesters chanting stop the boats and shame on you. They rallied in the English coastal city of Portsmouth as 140 migrants were rescued and brought ashore there without visas. Similar protesters dressed in black wearing masks, blockaded the port of Dover over the weekend, halting ferry services. Only about 5% of immigrants entering the UK last year came via these small boats. And the volume this summer has been lower than in the past four years. But thousands still cross annually and it's fueled support for far-right politicians here.
Lauren Freyer and PR News London. Open AI, the maker of Chatchee PT, is developing a new system for disclosing what it calls misalignment incidents when AI models act in ways people don't intend. Ampere John Ruich reports the move comes after another case of AI agents behaving unexpectedly. Reuters reported that a swarm of open AI agents or AI programs took over a germany of the world. Reuters reported that a swarm of open AI agents or AI programs took over a German language website and created a secret message board there working together for weeks without the company knowing it. It says this happened before the so-called hugging phase incident where AI agents from open AI hacked into another company in July, triggering a tsunami of concern about human control over AI. In a statement posted online, open AI acknowledged the incident involving the German website but did not give details. It said its misalignment disclosure practices need to expand for this quote, new phase of model capabilities.
And it's working on a framework for when and how to report when AI goes off script. John Ruich, NPR News. The listening to NPR News. Israel has launched deadly strikes in Lebanon, leaving at least 11 people dead after days of attacks that Lebanon says mean Israel is trying to push farther into the country. Lebanon says in the past three days the Israeli strikes have killed at least 27 people and wounded dozens of others. It's one of the deadliest waves of attacks since the US brokered ceasefire that has been repeatedly violated as Israel strikes Lebanon and Hezbollah fires drones at Israeli troops. In Germany, the alternative for German party has declared victory after winning 43.8% of the vote in the first of several regional elections as fall. As Esmeen Nicholson reports, the result puts the far right party within reach of power at the state level for the first time since World War II. The AFD, which ran a campaign centered on the policy of remigration or mass deportation of immigrants, more than double it's share of the vote in the small eastern state of Saxony and helped compared to five years ago.
Chancellor Friedrich Mez is sent to write Christian Democrats more than harbored their share of the vote. The CDU candidate in the state's Vend shortzer congratulated the AFD and said, some say this is a dark day for Saxony and Halt. I call it democracy. The man hoping to become Germany's first AFD state governor, 35-year-old Auresegment, told public broadcaster ARD that the results send a very clear signal to Berlin. But falling just short of a majority, the AFD will need support to form a government. Most parties refuse to work with a party that German domestic intelligence considers anti-constitutional.
