Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.

Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board are in Miami as the investigation

into the crash of an Amazon cargo plane that killed five people and injured five others

continues. And here's Jacqueline Diaz has more. Investigators have recovered flight data in the cockpit voice recorder from the crash plane. The broader work by investigators is just getting started.

They are expected to stay on scene for a week. That's according to Jennifer Hammondy, chair of the National Transportation Safety Board. Based on her latest updates, here's some of what we know. The Amazon Prime cargo plane overranned the runway and crashed into an airline cleaning company van that was carrying seven people.

Then hit a car before skating to a stop.

Hammondy did not comment on the status of those who were injured. Recovery of the victims is still happening. The cause of the crash has yet to be determined. Jacqueline Diaz and PR news. Hundreds of anti-immigrant protesters clashed with police overnight on England's self-coast

were boats of migrants of encrossing the English Channel from France. It appears Lauren Frayer has more. The British government has condemned them as intimidating and thugish. Hundreds of anti-immigrant protesters chanting "stop the boats" and shame on you. They rallied in the English Coastal City of Portsmouth as 140 migrants were rescued and

brought ashore there without visas. Similar protesters dressed in black wearing masks, blockaded the port of dover over the weekend halting ferry services. Only about 5% of immigrants entering the UK last year came via these small boats. And the volume this summer has been lower than in the past four years.

But thousands still cross annually and it's fueled support for far-right politicians here. Lauren Frayer and PR news London. Open AI, the maker of CHATGVT, is developing a new system for disclosing what it calls misalignment incidents when AI models act in ways people don't intend. And here's John Ruach reports the move comes after another case of AI agents behaving

unexpectedly. Reuters reported that a swarm of open AI agents or AI programs took over a German language

website and created a secret message board there, working together for weeks without the

company knowing it. It says this happened before the so-called hugging phase incident where AI agents from open AI hacked into another company in July, triggering a tsunami of concern about human control over AI. And a statement posted online, open AI acknowledged the incident involving the German website

but did not give details, it said its misalignment disclosure practices need to expand for this, quote, "new phase of model capabilities" and it's working on a framework for when and how to report when AI goes off script. John Ruach and PR news. The listening to NPR news Israel has launched deadly strikes on Lebanon, leaving at least

11 people dead after days of attacks that Lebanon says mean Israel is trying to push farther into a country. Lebanon says in the past three days the Israeli strikes have killed at least 27 people and wounded dozens of others, it's one of the deadliest ways of attacks since the U.S. brokered ceasefire that has been repeatedly violated, Israel strikes Lebanon and has

will offer his drones at Israeli troops. In Germany the alternative for German party has declared victory after winning 43.8% of the

vote in the first several regional elections as fall, as as mean Nicholson reports, the result

puts the far right party within reach of power at the state level for the first time since World War II. The AFD, which ran a campaign centered on the policy of remigration or mass deportation of immigrants, more than double it share of the vote in the small eastern state of Saxony Unhalt compared to five years ago.

Chancellor Friedrich Mats is sent to right Christian Democrats more than harbbed their share of the vote. The video you candidate in the state Sven Schwitzer congratulated the AFD and said, "Some say this is a dark day for Saxony Unhalt, I call it democracy." The man hoping to become Germany's first AFD state governor 35-year-old Orange Siegmund told

public broadcast to ARD that the results sent a very clear signal to Berlin. But falling just short of a majority, the AFD will need support to form a government, most parties refuse to work with a party that German domestic intelligence considers anti-constitutional, for MP on news I'm Esmericalson Inbellin, and I'm Janine Herbst, NPR News in Washington.
