The Black Mirror comparisons are inevitable with this British series about technology gone wrong. Set in a futuristic London, The Feed centers on an implant that lets people livestream their lives without needing to press a button on a phone. No, absolutely nothing goes wrong. An impressive cast includes David Thewlis and Michelle Fairley. While it's not as polished or deep-cutting as Black Mirror, The Feed is still worth a look.

In some of the most harrowing scenes of the conflict so far, at least eight civilians fleeing the town of Irpin, near Kyiv, were killed in Russian attacks alongside the suitcases they had packed for their escape.

A mother later she landed a role in a Barbie doll commercial and by the time she was 14, the teenager, who attended Fairfax High School in LA, was starring in That ‘70s show, which aired in the US from 1998 to 2006.

The strike comes as Ukraine's forces continue to put up a fierce resistance against the invading armies, which have been forced to resort to seemingly indiscriminate artillery strikes on population centres.

'The Kinzhal aviation missile system with hypersonic aeroballistic missiles destroyed a large underground warehouse containing missiles and aviation ammunition in the village of Deliatyn in the Ivano-Frankivsk region', the Russian defence ministry said Saturday. 

Born Milena Markovna Kunis, Mila comes from a Jewish family and moved to Los Angeles from Ukraine, when she was seven years old, alongside her father Mark, a mechanical engineer, and mother Elvira, a physics teacher, and her brother Michael.  

After using Face ID-enabled iPhone models over the last several years, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed using Touch ID again. I hadn't realized how much I missed it. It's a joy to use Apple Pay by merely laying my thumb on my home button, compared to holding up a Face ID-enabled phone to my face to authenticate before paying with a card. At times, double-tapping the home button felt like a superior way to get into the app switcher. There are rumors that Apple might eventually bring back Touch ID with an under-display sensor like Samsung's Galaxy phones and the Pixel 6 line, but until then the iPhone SE's home button is the only iPhone still including it.

However, in recent days there have been signs of more western strikes, with one person being killed overnight in a missile attack near Lviv, the closest strike yet to the centre of the western city - where thousands have fled to.

'After the Holocaust, in Russia you were not allowed to be religious. So my parents raised me to know I was Jewish. You know who you are inside. When I was in school you would still see antisemitic signs.

Ukrainian servicemen try to help people who have been wounded in Irpin - as an increasingly delusional Putin is insisting that Russia is not bombing Ukrainian cities, despite mounting fears that 100 people are buried under rubble after an apartment block near Kyiv was struck and after a cluster bomb attack on the city of Chernihiv killed 49 earlier this week. A mother and two children were killed and the father was wounded by a mortar shell as hundreds of civilians sought safety

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Pennsylvania is very 'close to Biden's heart' and that the president, who was born in Scranton, sees it as a 'second home' after Delaware, where he served as a senator.

But aged only seven years old, her Jewish family fled the then Soviet Union state and travelled to the US, with Mila citing antisemitism as one of the reasons they left. Pictured, Mila with her mother and brother as a child in the US

If you're struggling to excavate the best sci-fi TV series from the depths of Prime Video, hopefully this list will provide a helping hand. Prime Video's interface doesn't do itself many favors in showing us the way to genre offerings -- and shows such as Orphan Black, The Expanse and Counterpart are essential viewing.

Electric Dreams lives up to its name, each episode of the anthology series a vibrant, polished product whirring on the ideas of its source material: The works of Philip K. Dick. As with most anthologies, some episodes are better than others, but if you're craving storytelling with Black Mirror-like setups, let this reverie slip over you.

In more ways than one, Orphan Black is the Tatiana Maslany show. Before she becomes a household name thanks to Disney Plus' upcoming She-Hulk, see her play no fewer than 14 characters in one series, including a hallucinated scorpion. Just let that sink in for a second. Orphan Black sews smart sci-fi concepts into a fast-paced thriller, galloping along with added mystery and comedy in its stride. A must-watch sci-fi series exploring the nature vs. nurture debate.
