Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 07:42:31 GMT

LONDON — When Rishi Sunak announced in June that Britain would host the world’s “first major global summit” on AI safety later this year, it was meant to signal the U.K.’s leadership in the race to agree global standards for this powerful new technology.

Don’t get sick in Greece! Islands jammed with tourists, but critically short of medics

And ambulance services are in an even worse state. On many islands in the Cyclades and the Dodecanese, barely one ambulance is available 24 hours a day. This problem isn’t unique to the islands; in Athens, around 50 ambulances are operating, instead of the 85 to 90 that are needed.“We need to redesign the ambulance service from scratch as there are huge gaps all over the country,” Giorgos Mathiopoulos, president of the Greek emergency ambulance se...
