He became synonymous with behavioural economics, even though he never took a course of economics. Kahneman wrote the best-selling book Thinking, Fast and Slow. It debunked the notion that people are rational beings who act out of self-interest – they act based on instinct, he argued.His death was announced by Princeton University where he had been working since 1993.”Danny was a giant in the field, a Princeton star, a brilliant man, and a great colleague and friend,” said prof Eldar Shafir.”Many areas in the social sciences simply have not been the same since he arrived on the scene. He will be greatly missed.”LISTEN: Daniel Kahneman – Thinking, Fast and SlowKahneman was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 1934, and spent much of his early years in Nazi-occupied France, where his father worked as chief of research in a chemicals factory. The family moved to what was then British-ruled Palestine in 1948, just before the creation of the state of Israel.Kahneman graduated from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1954, and went to the US four years later to begin a doctorate in psychology at the University of California Berkeley.Kahneman returned to Jerusalem in 1961 to begin his academic career as a psychology lecturer, where he met Amos Tversky – a cognitive psychologist with whom he would go on to win the Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences in 2002. How do we really make decisions?Does sunshine make us happier?His work with Tversky would go on to form the basis of the best-selling book Thinking, Fast and Slow, published in 2011.The book explained the psychology of decision-making. It outlines two systems that drive the way humans think and make choices – the fast, intuitive, and emotional – and the slower, more deliberative, and more logical.The book argued that most of the time, our fast, intuitive mind is in control, and takes charge of the decisions we make each day – rather than the deliberative, logical part of our minds – and this is where mistakes can creep in.More on this storyHow do we really make decisions?Published24 February 2014Does sunshine make us happier?Published25 July 2012Top StoriesLive.

The warning comes after a factory worker found yellow paw prints leading away from the container. Security footage was then reviewed and the cat could been seen running away, leaving a trail of paw prints.Officials in Fukuyama have asked the public to stay away from the animal and report any sightings to the police.It is thought the curious feline had been in a vat of hexavalent chromium, a highly acidic and carcinogenic chemical which is orange and brown in colour.A member of staff found the paw marks when they arrived for work yesterday at the Nomura Plating Fukuyama Factory, according to news website Asahi.Fukuyama city’s environmental team warned the public not touch “a cat that seems abnormal” but also said the animal might have died as a result of the incident. The company which owns the factory said the tank had been covered by a sheet, but that part of it had reportedly been turned over. According to the AFP news agency, a company spokesperson said: “The incident woke us up to the need to take measures to prevent small animals like cats from sneaking in, which is something we had never anticipated before.”Hexavalent chromium can cause skin irritation, respiratory problems, and blindness, and staff have to wear masks and rubber gloves when working near the substance. Officials say that as of Tuesday there have been no reported sightings of the cat.Related TopicsJapanAnimalsCatsMore on this storyRare sighting of gray whale off New England coastPublished5 days agoRed panda found in luggage at Bangkok airportPublished6 days agoHundreds of lizards seized in Australia police bustPublished8 JanuaryKiller whale v shark: Solo orca eats great whitePublished2 MarchBears versus robot wolves in ageing JapanPublished30 September 2023Top StoriesBBC report into treatment of Gaza medics ‘very disturbing’ – CameronPublished31 minutes agoGaza medics tell BBC that Israeli troops beat and humiliated themPublished10 hours agoAbbott calls Tory donor’s comments frighteningPublished56 minutes agoFeaturesThe Ukrainian sea drones hunting Russian warshipsIs pressure on Kate after photo chaos unfair?The rise and fall of Haiti’s Ariel HenryHow the miners’ strike changed the role of womenSchoolboy recounts daring escape from Nigerian kidnap gangMeet the pop star who brought some cheek to the Brit AwardsWhen wind turbine blades get old what’s next?’We don’t feel the joy of Ramadan in Rafah’ Video’We don’t feel the joy of Ramadan in Rafah’Seven of the best moments from the OscarsElsewhere on the BBCThe powerful emotional impact of Pink Floyd’s musicShine On You Crazy Diamond has helped people through their hardest timesAttributionSoundsFrom the largest ship to disasters on deck…A closer look at times when cruise ships have caused commotionAttributioniPlayer’I was mad for stuff but I didn’t realise I wasn’t happy’Stuart Mitchell’s search for happiness will make us all question the true cost of livingAttributionSoundsMisled with the promise of a home…Panorama investigates the mobile home swindleAttributioniPlayerMost Read1BBC report into Gaza medics ‘disturbing’ – Cameron2Ashes and 35 bodies removed from funeral home3Andrew Tate and brother can be extradited to UK4Ukraine-based groups claim raids into Russia5More than a fifth of adults not looking for work6Abbott calls Tory donor’s comments frightening7Hollywood stars lead the way at Olivier nominations8Baptisms ‘a ticket’ for some asylum seekers – vicar9Gaza medics tell BBC that Israeli troops beat and humiliated them10Tate unveils counterpoint to offensive mural

IrelandScotlandAlbaWalesCymruIsle of ManGuernseyJerseyLocal NewsHow we tracked down the Ukrainian poison sellerPublished8 hours agoShareclose panelShare pageCopy linkAbout sharingImage caption, The BBC asked Zakutenko what he had to say to the families of the deadBy Angus Crawford and Tony SmithBBC NewsA Ukrainian man who sells poison to people who want to take their own lives has been named by the BBC. This is the story of how – after a two-year investigation – we tracked the seller down and finally confronted him outside a post office in war-torn Kyiv.On a website where people openly discuss suicide, “the Ukraine supplier” was a name frequently discussed by members. The mysterious trader was shipping a chemical commonly used for suicide around the world from Ukraine’s capital. He has been linked to at least 130 UK deaths. We traced his online store, as well as his email address and PayPal account, and managed to identify the man as Leonid Zakutenko.In January 2022, we decided to make direct contact with Zakutenko, posing as an interested buyer on the pro-suicide forum. He quickly messaged back and said he could supply the chemical. The forum advises users to take anti-vomiting drugs along with the chemical. We asked if he could also supply these and he confirmed that he could.The BBC is not naming either the pro-suicide website or the chemical being sold.Then, a month later, Russian tanks rolled over the border into Ukraine and the possibility of confronting him on his home soil seemed gone for good. With war raging, we didn’t think he would be able to carry on trading.But we continued to catalogue the increasing number of deaths linked to the forum and met families whose loved ones had used the site to help end their lives. If you’ve been affected by the issues in this story, help and support is available via the BBC Action LineMore than a year passed, but in May 2023, the same forum and chemical hit the headlines following the arrest of another man who was frequently mentioned by members.Kenneth Law was arrested in Canada on suspicion of “counselling and aiding suicide” by distributing the dangerous product worldwide.The former chef has since been charged with 14 counts of murder and linked to hundreds of deaths around the world.It made us wonder if the Ukrainian was still in business and we set about tracking him down.We made contact again, posing as a buyer. He boasted that he was now sending “five parcels a week” to the UK and could offer an express service.For Zakutenko, it seemed, trade was good. Perhaps there was a gap in the market now that Kenneth Law was behind bars. We decided to try again to confront him. In January, we flew to Krakow, in Poland, and took the 12-hour car journey across the border to Kyiv, where we’d arranged to meet Zakutenko through a fixer who spoke Ukrainian. We discovered that Zakutenko was an AirBnB “superhost” and planned to meet under the pretence that we were interested in a long-term lease of one of his apartment rentals.Zakutenko had promised to show us around the apartment and we spent the long journey wondering whether he’d really turn up in person. From Leeds to KyivOur journey through war-torn Ukraine seemed a world away from the small front room in Leeds where the investigation started.There, Catherine Adenekan and Melanie Saville introduced us to the online forum promoting suicide, and the real-life impact it was having. The forum has tens of thousands of users, many of them young and vulnerable. Like Catherine’s son, Joe, who took his own life in April 2020. In just three weeks, the 23 year-old used the forum to source a lethal chemical and learn how to use it. Image caption, Joe’s mother, Catherine, and his sister-in-law, MelanieCatherine still has her son’s suicide note, tightly wrapped in a plastic police evidence bag. In it, he spells out how dangerous the forum had been for him.”Please do your best in closing that website for anyone else,” it reads.She’s been doing just that ever since, together with Joe’s sister-in-law Melanie.Together they have infiltrated the site, documented the numbers of deaths associated with it and identified people selling the chemical.They have been lobbying their local MP and talking to the media in an effort to get the forum closed down. “Without that site, there wouldn’t be a platform for people to sell poison,” says Melanie. The doorstepWhen we finally got to Kyiv and called to confirm arrangements, our hearts sank. Zakutenko told our fixer he was out of town and that a cleaner would show us the place instead. Was he really out of town? Or had he become suspicious? We’d heard stories of Ukrainian men of fighting age being stopped at roadblocks, drafted immediately into the army, and sent to the frontline. Perhaps Zakutenko was just trying to keep a low profile.We went to his apartment, a high-rise Soviet-era block on the city’s outskirts. There was no sign of him.Within walking distance was a post office. A quick check with contacts in London indicated that this was the counter where he’d been dispatching poison – the tracking details on a previous test purchase proved it.We messaged again, this time pretending to be a different UK buyer in urgent need of the chemical. He promised that he would send it within an hour if we paid for his “express” service. We did, hurriedly setting up a payment account and waiting outside his door as the minutes of that hour ticked by.But Zakutenko didn’t emerge.We messaged again. He replied, assuring us that the parcel had been posted and sent a tracking number. We convinced ourselves that he’d moved on and was now using a different post office. But the tracking number didn’t work. So we waited, just in case.Several long hours later a stocky man in a leather jacket and black beanie hat came out of the block, clutching a large black bag, ambling up the road toward the post office. It looked like the photographs we’d seen on Zakutenko’s social media, but it was hard to be certain.We followed the man inside and watched as he posted at least 15 parcels to different consignees around the world. As it was entered into the system, our tracking number suddenly appeared on the Ukrainian postal service website. It was Zakutenko. We had watched him dispatching the poison we had just ordered.Outside we were ready to confront him.But the city’s air raid sirens suddenly came to life, piercing the silence. We made a quick call to our safety adviser, to check if we had to take shelter. Thankfully they confirmed it was a false alarm and we continued to wait.

I don’t want to be famous,” says Zakutenko when confronted by BBCThe sirens were still wailing as Zakutenko walked down the post office steps.We asked him why he was sending poisonous chemicals to people who wanted to end their lives. The question was repeated in Ukrainian by our interpreter. “That is a lie,” he told us, before putting his hand over our camera and trying to walk away.We persevered and asked what he had to say to the families of the dead. “I don’t understand what you are talking about,” he replied.Over and over, he said he didn’t understand our questions. But he’d been messaging us in perfect English just a few hours earlier.We have alerted the authorities in both the UK and in Ukraine.The forum, where details of those selling poison are widely shared, is still up. The government says the new Online Safety Act gives Ofcom the power to take action against this kind of website. But Ofcom is still consulting on how the Act will be implemented and enforcement action won’t happen for many months.That’s too long for the families of those who’ve lost lives because of people like Leonid Zakutenko.Related TopicsSocial mediaUK governmentSuicide preventionMental healthUkraineMore on this storyCanadian ‘poison killer’ to head straight to trialPublished2 FebruarySuicide website linked to 50 UK deaths still active despite warningsPublished24 October 2023Top StoriesUN says many bullet wounds among Gaza convoy injuredPublished1 hour agoBiden treads carefully through Middle East minefieldPublished11 hours agoRents soar in commuter towns as tenants priced out of citiesPublished13 hours agoFeaturesWhat video and eyewitness accounts tell us about Gazans killed at aid dropBad blood over Singapore Taylor Swift tour subsidiesThe Papers: ‘Democracy under threat’ and ‘Farewell Navalny’Black country singers: ‘We’re tolerated, not celebrated’The two faces of Robert F Kennedy JrJools ‘can’t believe’ he’s finally number oneHow worried is Labour after losing Rochdale?’Cousin of the Kelpies’ unveiled on Glasgow canalHow big banks are becoming ‘Bitcoin whales’Elsewhere on the BBCWill this elite boarding school fit around them?Five black inner-city teens must leave their old worlds behind…AttributioniPlayerHair-pulling, wrestling and kicking!Watch the moment a violent brawl unfolded in the Maldives ParliamentAttributioniPlayerThe mysterious deaths of Nazi fugitivesThree brothers investigate whether a family connection may explain the truthAttributioniPlayerWhy do people behave the way they do on social media?Marianna Spring investigates extraordinary cases of online hate to find out…AttributioniPlayerMost Read1Killer whale vs shark: Solo orca eats great white2How did the viral Willy Wonka experience go so wrong?3Victoria Beckham’s fashion show disrupted by Peta4Rents soar in towns as tenants priced out of cities5US fashion designer Iris Apfel dies aged 1026UN says many bullet wounds among Gaza convoy injured7Bad blood over Singapore Taylor Swift tour subsidies8Jools ‘can’t believe’ he’s finally number one9’Democracy under threat’ and ‘Farewell Navalny’10How we tracked down the Ukrainian poison seller

I want to get along with China. I think it’s great. But they’ve really taken advantage of our country,” he said.Where Biden v Trump will be won and lostWhat the world thinks of US electionDuring his presidency, Mr Trump triggered a bitter trade war between the world’s two largest economies as he imposed tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of Chinese goods.The Trump administration first began imposing levies aimed at curbing Chinese imports in 2018. The policy escalated to duties on goods ranging from seafood to chemicals later that year.Beijing responded with tariffs on US imports including soybeans, wheat and poultry.Mr Trump’s latest comments go further than his previous remarks about introducing a universal 10% tariff on all imports into the US.Current US President Joe Biden’s administration has largely kept the tariffs in place, despite criticism that they have helped to push up prices and made the country less competitive.Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said last month that Mr Trump’s plan to raise tariffs would raise the costs of a “variety of goods” for American businesses and consumers.The US has been China’s biggest export market for over two decades.However, curbing US-China economic ties is gaining support from some Republican and Democrat lawmakers. A recent House committee report recommended higher tariffs on imports from China and restrictions on Chinese investments in the US.Related TopicsUS economyDonald TrumpChina economyJoe BidenMore on this storyWhere Biden v Trump will be won and lostPublished5 days agoWhat the world thinks of US electionPublished5 days agoTop StoriesFamily’s anger over conditions killer dogs kept inPublished30 minutes ago’Blown away’ – Taylor Swift makes history at GrammysPublished3 hours agoNationwide search as police hunt Clapham attack suspectPublished8 minutes agoFeaturesGrammys Awards: The highs, lows and why Swift wonWatch: Celine Dion Grammy surprise and Jay Z backs Beyonce.

Smith would be the first person in the US to face nitrogen gassing. The UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights has said the never-before-used method could amount to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, and called for a halt.In November 2022, Alabama executioners tried to inject Smith with a lethal blend of chemicals but failed. They were unable to raise a vein before the state’s death warrant expired at midnight. His lawyers say that the constitution forbids putting convicts through multiple execution attempts under its prohibition against “cruel and unusual” punishment.Smith was one of two men convicted in 1989 of murdering a preacher’s wife, Elizabeth Sennett, who was stabbed and beaten to death in a $1,000 (£786) killing-for-hire. At his trial he admitted to being present when the victim was killed, but says he did not take part in the attack. Smith’s partner-in-crime, John Forrest Parker, was executed in 2010.

It focuses on whether a 2002 federal law created to prevent corporate misconduct could apply to individuals involved in the 6 January riots. More than 350 people have been charged in the incident under that law, which carries a 20-year prison penalty.Donald Trump faces the same charge in the pending federal case accusing him of election interference. The law makes it a crime to “corruptly” obstruct or impede an official proceeding. On Tuesday, Supreme Court Justices heard two hours of arguments over the law’s interpretation. However, it remained unclear how they would rule. A lawyer for a man who stormed the Capitol and was prosecuted under the law argued before the Justices that “a host of felony and misdemeanour” crimes already exist to prosecute his clients actions.The 2002 law passed in the wake of the Enron accounting scandal, Jeffrey Green said, was not one of them. US Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar counterargued that rioters deliberately attempted “to prevent Congress from certifying the results of the election,” therefore obstructing an official proceeding. Both fielded sceptical questions from the Justices. At one point, Mr Green argued that there is no historical precedent in which the law was used to prosecute demonstrators.Justice Sonia Sotomayor replied: “We’ve never had a situation before where (there was an attempt) to stop a proceeding violently, so I am not sure what a lack of history proves.”On the other hand, Ms Prelogar fielded questions from Justice Neil Gorusch on whether the law could then be stretched to apply to a “sit-in that disrupts a trial” or “a heckler” at the State of the Union Address. “Would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify for 20 years in federal prison?” he asked, appearing to reference an incident in which Jamaal Bowman, Democrat House representative, pressed a fire alarm in the Capitol.How the top court rules could have wide-ranging effects on the hundreds of people charged, convicted or sentenced under the law, as well as the prosecution of Mr Trump. Here is a breakdown of the key players and the law being argued: What is the 2002 federal law at the centre of the trial?The law is called the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. It was passed in response to the Enron scandal in the early 2000s, after it was exposed that those involved had engaged in massive fraud and shredding documents. It criminalizes the destruction of evidence – like records or documents. But it also penalises anyone who “otherwise obstructs, influences or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so.” How has it been used in response to the 6 January riots?Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the US Department of Justice (DoJ) has brought obstruction charges against those who participated in the storming of the Capitol. Federal prosecutors argue they did so to impede Congress’ certification of the presidential electoral vote count to cement Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election. Therefore, the latter portion of the law that deals with obstructing an “official proceeding” would apply, the DoJ says. Who is challenging the law’s use in this case, and why? The Supreme Court is hearing a challenge to the law’s application brought forward by a former Pennsylvania police officer.Joseph Fischer was charged under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with obstruction of a congressional proceeding on 6 January, as well as assaulting a police officer and disorderly conduct. His lawyers argue that prosecutors overreached with applying the Act, which they say deals explicitly with destroying or tampering with evidence integral to an investigation. Those who challenge the law’s application in 6 January cases also argue that a broad interpretation of the law would allow the prosecution of lobbyists or protestors who disrupt matters in Congress.How could the Supreme Court ruling impact Trump?The former president is charged under the very same law in a federal case accusing him of working to overturn the results of the 2020 election, which he lost to Mr Biden.If Supreme Court justices rule that the law does not apply to the 6 January rioters, Mr Trump could seek dismissal of half the charges he faces in that case.It also could be seen as a political win for the former president, who is seeking re-election in November, as he repeatedly has accused prosecutors of overreach. A final ruling is not expected until June.

Local authorities had raised concerns over public safety.A UK spokeswoman called reports of police action “extremely disturbing”. She said that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was a “strong supporter and advocator for free speech” and that he was “very clear that cancelling events or preventing attendance and no-platforming speakers is damaging to free speech and to democracy as a result”.Alexander De Croo, the Belgian prime minister, said that the shutting down of the conference was “unacceptable”.Referring to the fact that it was the local mayor, Emir Kir, who opposed the conference, Mr De Croo added that while municipal autonomy was a cornerstone of Belgium’s democracy it could “never overrule the Belgian constitution guaranteeing the freedom of speech”. “Banning political meetings is unconstitutional. Full stop,” Mr De Croo wrote on X.In a message to organisers, Mr Kir had said some of the attendees of Tuesday’s conference held anti-gay and anti-abortion views. “Among these personalities there are several particularly from the right-conservative, religious right and European extreme right,” his statement said.Mr Kir also wrote on X: “The far right is not welcome.”Nigel Farage, who took to the stage this morning, told the BBC the decision to close down the conference because there were homophobes in the audience was “cobblers”, and that he condemned the decision as an attempt to stifle free speech. “Thank God For Brexit”, he said.Organised by a think-tank called the Edmund Burke Foundation, the National Conservatism Conference is a global movement which espouses what it describes as traditional values, which it claims are being “undermined and overthrown”. It also opposes further European integration.The conference said it aimed to bring together “public figures, journalists, scholars and students” who understood the connection between conservatism and the idea of nationhood and national traditions. French far-right politician Eric Zemmour, arriving for the conference after police had blocked the entrance, told journalists that Mr Kir was “using the police as a private militia to prevent… Europeans from taking part freely”.Organisers said Mr Zemmour was not allowed into the venue and that his address would be postponed.Former UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman and far-right French politician Eric Zemmour were listed as keynote speakers. The National Conservatism Conference reportedly started around 08:00 (06:00 GMT) on Tuesday and carried on for three hours until police showed up and asked the organisers to make attendees leave.Later, organisers wrote on X: “The police are not letting anyone in. People can leave, but they cannot return. Delegates have limited access to food and water, which are being prevented from delivery. Is this what city mayor Emir Kir is aiming for?”Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban and the former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki were due to speak tomorrow. Earlier, the organisers said on X that they would challenge the order to shut the conference down. “The police entered the venue on our invitation, saw the proceedings and the press corps, and quickly withdrew. Is it possible they witnessed how peaceful the event is?,” they wrote on X.The Claridge event space – located near Brussels’s European Quarter – can host up to 850 people. Around 250 people were in attendance on Tuesday afternoon.Mohamed Nemri, the owner of Claridge, told the BBC he had decided to host the event because “we don’t reject any party…. even if we don’t have the same opinion. That’s normal”.”I am Muslim and people have different opinion and that’s it. We are living in a freedom country. I’d like to people to talk freely,” he added.It is the third venue that was supposed to hold the event, after the previous two fell through. Belgian media reported that one venue pulled out after pressure by a group called the “Antifascist coordination of Belgium”.Related TopicsBelgiumTop StoriesMuslim student loses school prayer ban challengePublished43 minutes agoBowen: Iran’s attack on Israel offers Netanyahu a lifelinePublished5 hours agoLive.

The metal object was jettisoned from the orbiting outpost in March 2021, Nasa said on Monday after analysing the sample at the Kennedy Space Center.The 1.6lb (0.7kg) metal object tore through two layers of ceiling after re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. Homeowner Alejandro Otero said his son was nearly injured by the impact. Nasa said the object was part of some 5,800lbs of hardware that was dumped by the station after it had new lithium-ion batteries installed. “The hardware was expected to fully burn up during entry through Earth’s atmosphere on March 8, 2024. However, a piece of hardware survived and impacted a home in Naples, Florida,” the agency said.The debris was determined to be part of a stanchion used to mount batteries on a cargo pallet. The object, made from metal alloy Inconel, has dimensions of 4in by 1.6in (10.1cm by 4cm).Mr Otero told CBS affiliate Wink-TV that the device created a “tremendous sound” as it blasted into his home.”It almost hit my son. He was two rooms over and heard it all,” he said.”I was shaking. I was completely in disbelief. What are the chances of something landing on my house with such force to cause so much damage,” Mr Otero continued.”I’m super grateful that nobody got hurt.”According to Nasa, the ISS will “perform a detailed investigation” on how the debris survived burn-up.What’s the risk of being hit by falling space debris?Is it a bird?

At the time of his arrest, he was an active duty member of the US Marines. Prosecutors said Brannon was a neo-Nazi who frequently spoke of “cleansing” the US of “particular ethnic groups”. In November, Brannon pleaded guilty to conspiracy, destruction of property, possession of an explosive and intentionally damaging a reproductive health services facility.Kristen Clarke, the assistant attorney general for the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, said the attack “was designed to terrorise patients seeking reproductive healthcare and the people who provide it”.The explosion damaged the front entrance to the clinic in Costa Mesa, Orange County. No one was injured.However, Mehtab Syed, of the FBI’s Los Angeles field office, said Brannon’s “deep-rooted hatred and extremist views… could have killed innocent people”. Mr Syed added that Brannon plotted to rob Jewish residents in the Hollywood Hills, and had also discussed plans to attack the power grid. Further to this, in 2022, Mr Syed said Brannon, of San Juan Capistrano, placed calls to two US “adversaries” hoping to offer himself as a “mole” providing US intelligence.Two co-defendants, Tibet Ergul and Xavier Batten, have pleaded guilty to similar charges and will be sentenced next month.According to the National Abortion Federation, a group representing US abortion providers, there was a “sharp increase” in violence against clinics in 2022.
