Ramzi bin al-Shibh was first transferred to Guantanamo Bay in 2006

A military judge at Guantanamo Bay has ruled one of the five defendants charged over the 9/11 attacks is not fit to stand trial in a death-penalty case.

The defendant Ramzi bin al-Shibh has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, associated psychotic features and a delusional disorder.

His lawyer has long claimed his client was "tortured by the CIA".

Al-Shibh was scheduled to face pretrial proceedings on Friday.

Colonel Matthew McCall in the US base on the eastern tip of Cuba accepted the findings of the doctors which said in August that al-Shibh was too psychologically damaged to defend himself.

The medical board of doctors concluded al-Shibh had become delusional and psychotic, The New York Times reported.

That made him incompetent to either face trial or plead guilty, according to a report filed with his trial judge on 25 August.

According to the report, the military psychiatrists said his condition left him "unable to understand the nature of the proceedings against him or cooperate intelligently".

He was supposed be on trial on Friday with four other defendants, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, believed to be the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks.

Before the trial, Colonel McCall has decided to remove al-Shibh from the case. The hearing of the other four defendants is expected to proceed as scheduled.

The five men are accused of conspiring in the plane hijackings in 2001 that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York City, at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania.

Al-Shibh, who is from Yemen and 51 years old, was arrested in Pakistan in September 2002, and transferred to Guantanamo Bay in 2006.

His lawyers said he was tortured by the CIA and "went insane as a result of what the agency called enhanced interrogation techniques, that included sleep deprivation, waterboarding and beatings".

His mental situation has been an issue since his first court appearance in 2008, according to the US media. He has disrupted some of the hearings over the years with outbursts.

Al-Shibh was accused of helping organise the al-Qaeda cell in Hamburg, Germany, that hijacked one of two passenger jets that crashed into the World Trade Centre in New York.

The Guantanamo camp, in Cuba, was established by then-President George W Bush in 2002 to house foreign terrorism suspects following the 9/11 terror attacks in New York. It is on a US Navy base.

The camp has come to symbolise some of the excesses of the the Bush administration's 'war on terror' due to interrogation methods critics say amount to torture, and detainees being held for long periods without trial.

Tokyo also removed certain restrictions on the export of lethal weapons , allowing Japanese manufacturers to supply such armaments and components made domestically under foreign licences to licensing nations.

That same day, Tokyo approved a request from Washington for the production of Patriot surface-to-air guided missiles in Japan under an American licence and the sale of these weapons to the United States, reportedly to make up for the superpower's decreasing inventory.

Ryo Hinata-Yamaguchi, assistant professor of international relations at the University of Tokyo, said Tokyo faces several dilemmas over its enlarged defence budget. Among them, the government has to pay greater attention to social welfare amid growing calls for more spending in this area due to the country's ageing population.

The export of Patriot missiles to the US is vital in boosting Japan's defence industry and the Japan-US defence equipment supply chain, Hinata-Yamaguchi said.

"Both of which will have a positive impact not only on international security but also Japan's defence," he added.

Noting the strong reactions from Russia, China and North Korea over the Patriot sale, Hinata-Yamaguchi said the Russian reaction was expected given Moscow's warning last week of "grave consequences" after Japan had agreed to supply the missiles to the US.

Moscow has warned that Japan would "lose control over the weapons with which Washington can now do whatever it wants" and that the missiles could end up in Ukraine amid the European nation's ongoing war with Russia.

Ryosuke Hanada, a Sydney-based security analyst, said the best and only option for securing Japan's long-term defence budget is to revitalise its defence industry and levy taxes on its profits. The sale of Patriot missiles to the US is "a good starting point", said Hanada, who is a doctoral student in the department of security studies and criminology at Macquarie University.

"In the short and medium term, the government has to raise both corporate and individual taxes as well as cut expenditure for social welfare, which [constitutes] 33.6 per cent [of overall spending] in financial year 2024," Hanada said. "This requires the determination to make controversial political decisions."

But the revised arms-transfer policy guidelines were still "restrictive" given the objections from some factions in Japan's parliament, he added.

Komeito, the junior coalition partner of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, has been hesitant to support the easing of restrictions on Japan's defence exports, concerned that such sales could exacerbate armed conflicts worldwide and run counter to the country's post-war pacifist constitution.

In a further sign of the significant shift in its defence policy, Japan recently signed a pact to jointly develop with Britain and Italy a next-generation fighter jet , its first major tie-up that did not involve the US since World War II.

Despite the lack of political consensus within the ruling party over the tax increases, Hanada said there are still other ways that Tokyo could fund the enlarged defence budget, such as through financial surpluses, non-tax revenue and expenditure reforms.

For instance, 1 trillion yen (US$6.9 billion) could be covered by the 2022 surplus from the Foreign Exchange Fund Special Account - used by Japan for interventions in foreign exchange markets - Hanada said, citing a recent finance ministry announcement.

Satoru Nagao, a non-resident fellow at the Washington-based Hudson Institute, said that the impact on Japan-Russia relations is expected to be minimal over the Patriot sale.

While the missiles are lethal weapons, Japan will be providing them to the US and not Ukraine. Even in the event of the US supplying the missiles to the war-torn country, Nagao said there would still be no "direct trade" between Japan and Ukraine.

Since the start of Russia's war on Ukraine, Tokyo has aimed to support Kyiv by providing non-lethal equipment such as helmets, bulletproof jackets and anti-mine sweepers.

Supplying Patriot missiles to the US also means Japan could provide lethal weapons to other countries at some point, including Australia, India and Southeast Asian countries, Nagao said.

Under Japan's Official Security Assistance framework, which was launched in April last year, Tokyo said it would donate military equipment to the Philippines, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Fiji, with Vietnam and Djibouti set to be the next recipients.

Such weapon supplies are important in strengthening Japan's security cooperation and long-term relations with other countries, Nagao said.

It will also be a crucial step towards Japan recalibrating the "military balance", given the increasing defence collaboration between Russia, China and North Korea, according to Nagao.

The Patriot deal has drawn objections from pacifist groups, academics and opposition lawmakers as they have said that producing the missiles is tantamount to "killing humans", Nagao said.

Japanese Defence Minister Minoru Kihara has said the deal would boost Japan's military alliance with the US and the country's overall stability.

It also underscores Japan's opposition against any attempts at changing the status quo of the international order, Kihara said, in comments seen as referring to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

"Japan is in the process of becoming a normal country, but there is still a long way to go," Nagao told this Week in Asia.

Nvidia expands its reach in China's electric vehicle sector

Li Auto, Great Wall Motor, Zeekr and the new EV unit of Xiaomi will use Nvidia's DRIVE technology to power automated driving, Nvidia said on Monday

Nvidia and US rivals face challenges meeting China's demands for powerful chips, while complying with US controls on semiconductor exports to China

Nvidia said four Chinese electric vehicle brands will use its technology as the brains for automated driving systems, underscoring the US chip maker's determination to expand in China despite Washington's tighter export rules.

Chinese carmakers Li Auto, Great Wall Motor, Zeekr and the new EV unit of Chinese telecommunications company Xiaomi will use Nvidia's DRIVE technology to power automated driving, Nvidia said on Monday at the CES technology conference in Las Vegas.

China's rising EV brands are a key market for Nvidia's automotive technology business. Chinese carmakers are racing each other to launch more advanced in-vehicle infotainment displays and automated driving functions. That has created a growth opportunity for Nvidia, Intel, Qualcomm and other semiconductor manufacturers.

Nvidia and its US-based rivals face challenges meeting demands from Chinese customers for powerful chips, while remaining in compliance with tighter US controls on exports of advanced semiconductors to China.

In related CES announcements, Nvidia said it is working with advertising giant WPP, Lotus and six other companies to develop more advanced online shopping tools. Using Nvidia technology, carmakers and dealers hope to create online shopping sites with three dimensional graphics and more lifelike graphics, said Danny Shapiro, Nvidia's vice-president for automotive.

Opening statements began this week in the trial of the Colorado woman who is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of her stepson.

Letecia Stauch is accused of murdering 11-year-old Gannon Stauch, on Jan. 27, 2020. According to the arrest affidavit, previously obtained by PEOPLE, Stauch reported Gannon missing on Jan. 27, which is the same day investigators believe he was murdered.

"Evidence recovered from the residence and inside Gannon's bedroom supports that a violent event occurred in the bedroom," reads the affidavit, "which caused bloodshed, including blood spatter on the walls, and enough blood loss to stain his mattress, soak through the carpet, the carpet pad, and stain the concrete below his bed."

According to the affidavit, Letecia asked her 17-year-old daughter to purchase trash bags, baking soda and carpet powder before calling 911 to report Gannon missing. Investigators said these items were used to clean up blood.

On March 17, 2020, Gannon's remains were found in Florida, and Letecia was charged with first-degree murder.

Stauch has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, The Denver Post reports.

District Attorney Michael Allen began opening statements on Monday and claimed that Letecia stabbed Gannon 18 times, then shot him three times, The Gazette reports. Allen also said that during the trial, he would prove she was sane during the killing.

"The evidence will show she could distinguish between right and wrong," Allen said, The Gazette reports.

When Letecia's defense attorney Will Cook began his opening statements, he showed a photo that Letecia and Gannon allegedly took the day before the murder and as he did so, Letecia began to cry, according to The Gazette.

"Behind those photos and smiles Ms. Stauch was dealing with trauma and abuse that had been going on since she was a toddler," Cook said, The Gazette reports.

Cook said Letecia was sexually abused as a child, which caused her to develop dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder.

"The person she was killing that day, attacking, it wasn't Gannon," Cook said, The Denver Post reports. "It wasn't Gannon to her. She didn't wake up that day and go, 'I'm going to kill my stepson.' No. She was killing the demons... from the dark depths of her childhood and her life."

To counter that claim, Allen said Letecia was deliberate in committing and attempting to hide her crime.

"The defendant took very deliberate action," he said, The Denver Post reports. "She decided to hide her crimes from the world."

According to online court records previously obtained by PEOPLE, Gannon's father, Eugene Albert Stauch, filed for divorce from Letecia in March 2020.

The trial is expected to last between six and eight weeks.
