In AI and cybersecurity Samsung Electronics is rolling out ChatGPT Enterprise and Codex across its South Korean workforce and its global Device eXperience division. OpenAI is also launching its new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, letting 29 cybersecurity vendors build GPT-5.5 into customer-facing products for faster detection, response, and remediation. Elsewhere in the sector, Sakana AI is pitching an orchestration system that combines multiple agents and models instead of leaning on one giant proprietary platform. On the security side, experts say the push to post-quantum cryptography is still moving too slowly, even as governments start setting firmer deadlines and governance expectations. In Romania, a cyberattack forced dozens of hospitals offline for four days and pushed staff back to pen and paper while systems were restored. In crime and courts A police officer, the suspect, and another person were killed in a shootout Monday in Montreal’s Côte-des-Neiges borough. Police say the investigation is ongoing. In Utah, a judge rejected a defense request to make Tyler Robinson’s former roommate testify in person at the preliminary hearing in the Charlie Kirk killing case. The judge said credibility challenges can be addressed later if the case reaches trial. In Washington, David Hearn was arrested and charged with misdemeanor destruction of government property after police said he interfered with work at the Reflecting Pool. Hearn denies damaging the pool, and the Trump administration says more arrests have been made and repairs will start immediately. Weather and local disruptions In Bristol, a lightning strike set a detached family home on fire in Emersons Green during Monday evening storms. Everyone inside got out safely, and firefighters brought the blaze under control by 10 p.m. The same storm also forced Bristol Airport to suspend flights after lightning damaged radar and air traffic control systems. In rural Texas, a semitrailer carrying about 400 hives overturned and spilled millions of honeybees into a neighborhood. Officials say the bees escaped after the crash. In politics Sen. Rick Scott is circulating a plan among Senate Republicans to avoid another government shutdown later this year, and he wants to discuss it when President Trump meets with GOP senators on Wednesday. Scott says Democrats are unlikely to help.
