LONDON Bridge terrorist Usman Khan is pictured two seats from victim Saskia Jones as they enjoy brunch in a banquet hall — shortly before his knife rampage. The image of the suited and booted killer chatting with Ms Jones , 23, was shown yesterday as the inquest into the atrocity opened.

Similar technology could make its way to human test subjects by the end of the year if the start-up meets a previous prediction from Musk. The billionaire Tesla boss tweeted in February: "Neuralink is working super hard to ensure implant safety & is in close communication with the FDA. "If things go well, we might be able to do initial human trials later this year." Founded in 2016, Neuralink is developing implantable brain chips that are inserted into regions of the mind that control movement.
