In response to the escalating challenges posed by AI power spikes, Hitachi Energy suggests implementing more robust and secure AI systems with enhanced safeguards and greater human oversight. This approach aims to minimize the risk of unforeseen events that could lead to energy instability. Moreover, integrating human expertise with AI's capabilities could provide a balanced system, ensuring that AI can address complex energy management tasks while humans offer oversight to preempt potential issues. The growing electricity consumption from AI server farms and related technologies further strains existing energy infrastructures, making it imperative for the industry to adopt energy-efficient technologies and infrastructure. This trend necessitates strategic planning, as underscored in reports from [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/data-centres-risk-blackouts-as-power-grid-struggles-to-cope-l2z8wrgln) and [The Wall Street Journal](https://www.wsj.com/articles/california-struggles-to-keep-the-lights-on-in-the-digital-age-11654264800), to prevent further instability.

For two decades, Ramzan Kadyrov has been the Kremlin’s iron fist in Chechnya. But Mr. Kadyrov, 48, appears to be seriously ill, presenting President Vladimir V. Putin with a new challenge in a part of southern Russia where wars killed tens of thousands in the 1990s and 2000s. When the strongman leaves the scene, who can maintain the brutal control he has imposed over that part of the Caucasus? Mr. Kadyrov’s own succession plan could be resting on his 17-year-old son, who got married and received congratulations from Mr. Putin over the weekend. But that would require circumventing Russian law requiring regional leaders to be at least 30 years old.

After many months of anticipation, the government has published its 10 Year Health Plan for the NHS in England. Its 10-year plan for the NHS, titled Fit for the future: 10 Year Health Plan for England, has now broadly set out how the government intends for these shifts will be achieved. WorkforceThe 10-year plan marks a slight departure from the 2023 NHS Long Term Workforce Plan, which focused on increasing the number of nurses, doctors and other healthcare staff in the health service. Despite calls from the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) among other organisations to bolster the size of the nursing workforce, the plan indicated the government would be scaling back the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan, which was published in 2023. “By 2035, we will have fewer staff than projected by the 2023 Long Term Workforce Plan, but each professional will achieve far more,” the plan stated.
