TIRANA, Albania — Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj has caused a stir with a video pledge of free school lunches for all the capital’s children. There’s one problem: Veliaj is currently in prison, and the blue-suited figure making the heartfelt announcement is AI-generated. In an Instagram post on his official profile labeled as AI-generated, the video likeness of the 46-year-old appears in front of the Albanian and municipal flags, listing his achievements in office while reiterating his promise of free school lunches for the city’s kids.  “I made another commitment that I will never forget: food in schools,” says the Veliaj clone. “I will keep this promise even from this cell where they have locked me up.” Veliaj has been in prison in the coastal city of Durres since early 2025 amid investigations over allegations of corruption and financial crimes. He denies any wrongdoing.  “My hostage situation has been going on for 20 months, and I can only greet you with artificial intelligence,” his avatar says. “I will continue to work even from the cell … I hug you with longing, you and your wonderful children.” After his arrest and imprisonment, snap elections for Tirana were scheduled last November, but were canceled at the last minute after a Constitutional Court ruling found he could not be dismissed outside of normal democratic processes. Veliaj has delegated duties to several deputy mayors while he is incarcerated, but remains the official mayor of the city until municipal elections take place in the first half of 2027. This isn’t the first time imprisoned politicians have used AI to communicate with the public. In 2023, Pakistan’s jailed former leader Imran Khan used an AI deepfake to urge citizens to vote for his Tehreek-e-Insaf party during elections. Then in July, an AI-generated avatar of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro appeared at the launch of his son Flavio’s presidential campaign. Bolsonaro is under house arrest and barred from participating in election-related discourse or events. This is also not the first time Albanian officials have been provocative with AI. In autumn 2025, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama introduced the country to Diella, the world’s first AI-powered virtual minister, who was officially appointed to the government cabinet and tasked with rooting out corruption in tender and procurement processes. A few months after the appointment, Diella came under fire when the woman whose likeness was used for her face and voice objected to the use of her image for a ministerial position.

LONDON — A seventh man has been arrested as part of an investigation into the suspected terror plot around the RAF Fairford airbase, Britain’s Counter Terrorism Policing said on Tuesday. The statement said that a 22-year-old British man was arrested on suspicion of the preparation of terrorist acts under Section 5 of the Terrorism Act 2006. This is the seventh arrest in the live investigation into events surrounding a suspected terror plot near the RAF Fairford airbase, which has been used by the United States to conduct defensive strikes against Iran. Five British men were arrested on Sunday, 27 September, on suspicion of offences under the Explosives Act and preparation of a terrorist act, after police were alerted to three suspicious vehicles near the airbase. No improvised explosive devices were found in the vehicles, but investigators recovered a quantity of petrol. On Thursday, Counter Terrorism Policing arrested a 25-year-old British-Iranian man for the same offense as part of investigations. All six men were later released on bail. On Sunday, the Pentagon confirmed that the U.S. had withdrawn all B-1 bombers from the airbase. The following day, U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters that the United States had known of a “threat” which led them to move the bombers. Counter-terror police — supported by the MI5 intelligence service — are currently investigating “possible foreign state involvement” as part of their enquiries. U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said the government believes “Iran to have played a part” in the incident.

Following months of consultations with energy experts, Mexico is preparing to tap its shale oil and gas reserves using one of the world's most controversial extraction techniques: fracking. The process is already used to extract oil in the southeastern state of Veracruz, where local communities have long complained of pollution and environmental damage. But the administration of President Claudia Sheinbaum is seeking to reduce Mexico's reliance on the United States and – eventually – achieve energy self-sufficiency. FRANCE 24's Quentin Duval and Laurence Cuvillier report.
