Generally, there are two teams with varying numbers of members on each team and a clearly defined playing area.

The British government is facing growing political pressure to clarify its stance on the recent US airstrikes against Iranian nuclear facilities, as Foreign Secretary David Lammy repeatedly refused to confirm whether the UK supported the action or considered it legal.

The UK Foreign Office also denied Iranian reports that Lammy had expressed regret over the US strikes in a call with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

"To any observer who knows the first thing about the bikes in question — or bikes in general — anything on these AI-generated YouTube channels is clear garbage with no bearing on reality. But Google, the company once known for finding accurate results as fast as possible, now relies on an AI that has no concept of "truth" — just repeating words it sees used in proximity to each other, like your phone keyboard's autocomplete or a particularly dumb parrot. As this AI tech improves in its ability to mimic reality, while still remaining fundamentally incapable of differentiating fact from fiction, channels like Bike Culture Hub will only get more convincing. Our human ability to locate facts online will be compromised, and "people at dealerships asking for features that don't exist" is about the best possible outcome. It could get far worse from there."
