US President Donald Trump has confronted his South African counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House with allegations of mass killings and land seizures from white people. Scenes in the Oval Office were reminiscent of Mr Trump's feisty exchange with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy back in February.

Developing a robot that can navigate rugged terrain can be a challenge. Now, researchers in the United States have come up with one design that can deal with heavy loads, leap over obstacles and tackle uneven surfaces.

Was Pope Leo once a celebrated jazz trombonist in the 70s and 80s? That's the false claim from a musician who, as a joke, posted an AI image showing someone who looks similar to the new pontiff playing a trombone at a concert. The post gained enough traction that the pope's own brother told AFP news agency that rumours of the head of the Catholic Church once having a secret musical life were false. So, what does this say about AI's ability to mislead after years of advancements? Should there be more restrictions on AI images, and how dangerous can they be? Elvis Yu takes a closer look in the latest episode of Fact Focus.
