Fired OpenAI researchers say they were let go for 'prioritising safety'

KYIV, Ukraine -- Russian strikes killed two people and wounded five more across Ukraine, officials said Friday, as Ukraine struggles to counter escalating Russian bombardments that have killed more than 50 people over the past three days. One man was killed and five people were wounded in Russian strikes on Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region Friday morning, said Mykhailo Semikin, the head of the regional military administration. He said that the attacks hit residential areas and that a child was among the wounded.

A former US Army sergeant who survived the mass shooting on Fort Hood has said that while he supports the execution of the gunman by firing squad, he is concerned about it being livestreamed. Alonzo Lunsford, who was shot seven times, told the BBC that the "method is befitting" for Nidal Hasan because other methods like lethal injection would be "doing him a favour". Hasan, a US Army psychiatrist, fatally shot 13 unarmed US soldiers in a medical building at Fort Hood, in Texas, in 2009.

Crude oil prices had shot up on Thursday after reports President Trump was considering more strikes. They immediately dropped again after his new announcement.
