The following is the full transcript of the interview with Shyam Sankar, chief technology officer of Palantir, a portion of which aired on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" on Oct. 11, 2026. MARGARET BRENNAN: And we're joined now by the Chief Technology Officer of Palantir, Shyam Sankar. Welcome to Face the Nation. SHYAM SANKAR: Thank you for having me, Margaret. MARGARET BRENNAN: It's good to have you here in person. We've been talking a lot about technology, artificial intelligence, and public perception of it right now, and that's where I want to start with you because our polling shows there's a problem here. 50% of those polled by CBS say AI will create more problems than it solves. 29% say it'll solve more than it creates, and 21% just really don't know. Like 45% of Americans want the government to restrict use and development of AI. Is your position there should not be any guardrails at this moment? SHYAM SANKAR: No, not at all. That's not my position.

(Photo by IIPA) Iran’s nuclear technology cannot be eliminated through threats, sanctions, or military attacks, Atomic Energy Organization of Iran chief Mohammad Eslami said, arguing that the country’s nuclear advances are rooted in domestic scientific capabilities and will continue despite U. S. pressure. Speaking at an international conference on “Ecocide: The Silent War Crime,” Eslami said Iran’s nuclear technology was developed through years of work by Iranian scientists and researchers and had become an important part of the country’s scientific and technological progress. “Overt threats by U. S. officials to use tactical weapons against Iran’s nuclear facilities—delivered right from the United Nations podium—and talk of destroying Iran’s ancient civilization reveal helplessness in the face of a pioneering nation,” Eslami said, according to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency. He said Iran and its people “will never surrender.”

Iran's nuclear chief vowed on Sunday that the country will not give up the nuclear technology it has mastered under foreign pressures, and that no law allows any foreign country to deprive the Islamic Republic of that technology, the Iranian official news agency IRNA reported. Mohammad Eslami, director of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, was speaking at an international conference "Ecocide: The Silent War Crime" held in Tehran, the report said.

Commissioner Adam Silver says the NBA could begin using a new "smart ball" in games as soon as next year, potentially transforming how officials make calls.

The head of Iran's atomic energy agency said on Sunday that the country's nuclear technology is safe from external disruption and cannot be halted by threats, pressure or attacks. Mohammad Eslami, the chief of the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran (AEOI), said Iran's nuclear advances are a national achievement and were a testament to the dedication of Iranian scientists.

Minister Vu Hai Quan delivers the speechSafety is the highest requirementAt the meeting, Minister Vu Hai Quan affirmed that in nuclear development, safety must be the highest requirement, and zero error can be tolerated. According to the Minister, this requirement demands that the regulatory body possess capacity commensurate with its mission. "This is a responsibility to the nation and the Fatherland, not merely a routine assignment," the Minister stressed. The Minister noted that to meet resource requirements, the agency must first proactively develop specific strategies, schemes, and operational options, thereby generating resources. In particular, he underlined the role of leadership in workforce building. According to the Minister, for talented individuals, the key issue is not only compensation, but whether they are trusted, assigned opportunities, and enabled to fully maximize their capabilities.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Helen Jean Barnes (née Auchterlonie) in her 95th year at Andy’s House (Hospice Muskoka) on Sunday, October 11, 2026. She passed peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, and has joined the love of her life in heaven, her husband Lester (Les) Barnes, who passed away in 1996. Helen was an only child born in Toronto in 1931 to Ethel and Jack. She completed a nursing degree and practiced briefly in Ontario, later achieving her recertification in Florida and working at a hospital in Clearwater. Helen met Les while vacationing on Kahshe Lake in Gravenhurst. Together they grew a large family, living in London, Ontario, and Clearwater, Florida, before settling in Gravenhurst in 1980. Their children Greg (Ana), Steve (Donna), Wayne (Wendy), Sandy (Marty), and Jan (Keith) will remember their mother as a strong woman who made a perfect Sunday roast, loved to joke, and enjoyed arts and crafts.

Dr. Tran Chi Thanh, Director of the Viet Nam Atomic Energy Institute speaks at the press conferenceNew nuclear reactor in Dong Nai to have 30 times the capacity of Da Lat reactorAccording to Dr. Tran Chi Thanh, after being restored, upgraded, and put into operation in 1984 with the assistance of the former Soviet Union, the Da Lat Nuclear Research Reactor has been operating for 42 years. Despite its modest capacity of only 0.5 MW, the Da Lat reactor is evaluated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as one of the most effective low-power research reactors in the world. Currently, the reactor supplies about 80% of the radiopharmaceuticals for hospitals nationwide, primarily serving cancer diagnosis and treatment. Each year, Viet Nam records approximately 180,000 new cancer cases. While the demand for medical radioisotopes is growing, domestic production capacity remains limited. The project to establish the Center for Nuclear Science and Technology Research, featuring a new research reactor in Dong Nai, is expected to enhance research and production capacity for radioisotopes and advance the deployment of nuclear technique applications.
