Candidate Clinton: 'Healthy and fit' Hillary Clinton's doctor says she's in "excellent mental condition" as she recuperates from pneumonia. "My overall impression is that Mrs Clinton has remained healthy and has not developed new medical conditions this year other than a sinus and ear infection and her recently diagnosed pneumonia," physician Lisa Bardack wrote in her assessment. The Democratic candidate cancelled scheduled trips to California and Nevada this week. She is expected to attend a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina today. Hillary Clinton 'healthy and fit to serve as president', doctor says Religion: America's biggest economy by far Religion in the United States is worth $1.2tn a year, making it equivalent to the 15th largest national economy in the world and worth more than the combined revenues of 10 biggest tech firms in America (including Apple and Google), according to new study. The report from Georgetown University estimated the value of religious institutions, including healthcare facilities, schools, daycare and charities; media; businesses with faith backgrounds; the kosher and halal food markets; social and philanthropic programs; and staff and overheads for congregations. Religion in US 'worth more than Google and Apple combined' Autopilot supplier disowns Tesla The company that supplied the autopilot system used by Tesla in a car that crashed in May, killing the driver, has accused the automaker of "pushing the envelope in terms of safety". Mobileye broke ties with Tesla Motors over the company's use of its Autopilot driver-assistance system. "It is not designed to cover all possible crash situations in a safe manner," said Mobileye chairman Amnon Shashua. "No matter how you spin it, [Autopilot] is not designed for that. It is a driver assistance system and not a driverless system." Autopilot supplier disowns Tesla for 'pushing the envelope on safety' Guantánamo prisoners return to battlefield A total of nine people freed from Guantánamo have ended up on the battlefield since Barack Obama took office in 2009, according to a report issued by the Office of Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). In all, the Obama administration has released 161 prisoners from Guantánamo since 2009, nine of them had joined insurgencies, representing 5.6%. Under the Bush administration, 21%, or 113 of 532 released, rejoined the jihadist cause. Guantánamo ex-prisoners continue to turn up on battlefield, says US New dangers for Central American migrants A rising number of Central American migrants are heading out to sea in small open boats to evade the immigration officials and bandits who have proliferated along Mexico's southern border. Immigration experts fear an increase in trafficking and drownings as a US-driven immigration crackdown on established land crossings through Mexico takes hold. Migrants, fishermen and local residents say the coyotes have established maritime networks linking isolated villages along the Pacific coast to transport people along routes previously favoured by drug traffickers. Central American migrants desperate to reach US risk new dangers at sea Playing a terrorist, typecast as a terrorist UK actor Riz Ahmed started acting professionally during the post-9/11 terrorist-acting boom. His first film, Michael Winterbottom's The Road to Guantánamo, told the story of a group of friends illegally imprisoned and tortured in the US detainment camp. Soon enough, security officials began to mistake him for a jihadist. "Returning to the glamour of Luton Airport after our festival win, ironically named British intelligence officers frogmarched me to an unmarked room where they insulted, threatened and then attacked me," he recalls. Typecast as a terrorist The passage of climate disruption – from the Marshall Islands to Arkansas Few experience rising sea levels as acutely as the Marshall Islands, where the tides threaten the land itself. An attendant issue, a shortage of fresh water, is now so dire that President Hilda Heine declared a state of emergency when she took office in January. Coupled with that is a population exodus often headed, oddly, to Springdale, Arkansas. "The numbers are increasing, of people leaving," Heine says. "We see that almost every day. It concerns us. I think to a certain extent there are people who are thinking about the sea level rise and they're wanting to make sure they're on secure land." Climate change and the Marshall Islands: lives in the balance Tech's negative image issue Last week, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg took heat after the most iconic photograph of the Vietnam war was censored from the site. Spontaneously self-inflicted harm is common in Silicon Valley and hardly a week goes by without a powerful person upsetting a significant number of people. Perhaps because they're so often challenging the status quo, tech industry titans are the stuff that PR nightmares are made of, writes Ben Tarnoff. And besides, "tech executives seem to have a special talent for doing or saying infuriating things". Gaffes, ignorance and PR nightmares: why it's so easy to hate the tech industry In case you missed it … It's the size of turkey with distinctive beak and broom-like bristles that erupt from its tail. Considered a relatively intelligent dinosaur, with good eyesight, Psittacosaurus lived across Asia 100m years ago. Now, using a fossil discovery carried out by a team led by Dr Jakob Vinther, palaeoartist Robert Nicholls has created what researchers believe is a near-perfect recreation of a spectacular fossil preserved with skin and pigments intact.
