ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Vice President JD Vance is set to address Congress on tightening cyber security regulations as the deadly Ukrainian drone strikes on St Petersburg oil facilities raise fresh alarms over critical infrastructure. At least one person was killed and five others injured after drones hit the St Petersburg Oil Terminal and Ruchyi oil depot, with fires also reported at a logistics centre and data centre. The strikes come after the collapse of a Trump-brokered energy ceasefire and mark the second confirmed Ukrainian attack on the city's oil terminal this year. World leaders at the IMF meetings in Bangkok are being warned to treat AI-powered cyber threats far more seriously, with the Bank of England governor among those highlighting risks from rogue AI agents that could trigger bank runs or compromise everyday devices. Oil is unchanged at $99.02. Gold remains at $4,181 an ounce. Bitcoin trades at $81,885 and Ethereum at $2,415. Hurricane Trudy, a Category 2 storm, is bringing heavy rain and strong winds to Mexico's Pacific coast with the risk of life-threatening flooding and mudslides. And finally, firefighters in Brisbane used an inflatable boat inside a stormwater tunnel beneath Kangaroo Point to rescue a trapped teenage boy from a flooded drain.
