Good morning.

Donald Trump has signed a deal for the United Arab Emirates to build the largest artificial intelligence campus outside the US.

Why had the US previously limited the UAE's access to chips? It was concerned about losing its hold as an AI frontrunner - and that the tech could be used by China, the UAE's largest trading partner.

What has Comey said since? He has removed the post, saying that while he assumed the shells were a political message" he was not aware that some people associate those numbers with violence".
