CNBC reports:
The automotive industry's increasing use of over-the-air technology to update vehicle systems makes it more susceptible to cyberattacks, analysts say, urging more intervention in the sector... Its use represents "a unique national security concern," Gabriel Lim, senior analyst at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore, told CNBC. "Aside from data privacy concerns, the potential of a foreign actor sabotaging the controls of a moving vehicle is a possibility that countries like Norway, Denmark, and Britain have expressed concerns about," Lim added.
In May, the American Enterprise Institute warned that safeguarding the automotive sector was crucial to limit foreign governments' espionage capabilities. "To protect against foreign espionage threats, the US should consider additional security reviews, implement restrictions on certain foreign-made hardware and software in vehicles, and mandate increased data-collection disclosures," the report said. The concerns come as real-life tests reveal vulnerabilities. Late last year, Norwegian bus company Ruter conducted tests on two buses and found that one had potential risks linked to OTA technology. "There is access to the control system for battery and power supply via mobile network through a Romanian SIM card. In theory, therefore, this bus can be stopped or rendered inoperable by the manufacturer," the company said. The investigation by Ruter then sparked the U.K. and Denmark to conduct their own investigations...
While these investigations were conducted on buses made by Chinese firm Yutong, [Siraj Ahmed Shaikh, systems security professor at the UK's Swansea University] said the issue goes beyond one manufacturer or country, as the technology becomes more pervasive. "Other sectors adopting OTA include other transport modes [such as] maritime and rail, aerospace (particularly drones), industrial machinery and robotics," he said.

BRUSSEL (ANP/BELGA) - De Belgische minister van Defensie Theo Francken gaat naar eigen zeggen op zoek naar andere leveranciers voor fregatten dan de Nederlandse scheepsbouwer Damen. Daar zijn twee fregatten besteld, maar die worden bij nader inzien tweemaal zo duur als voorzien en zijn jaren later dan verwacht af. Het eerste fregat zou op zijn vroegst in 2033 worden geleverd.
De Belgische regering heeft besloten twee nieuwe fregatten en zes nieuwe mijnenjagers aan te schaffen voor het Belgisch-Nederlandse marinepartnerschap. Het gaat hierbij om ASW-fregatten (Anti Submarine Warfare). Francken zei tegen Belgische media dat hij maandag andere leveranciers benadert. Het gaat om bedrijven in Spanje, Frankrijk, Duitsland, Italië en Turkije. Francken loofde de Turkse defensie-industrie. In oktober verwacht hij een besluit te nemen.
Hij meent dat "als het kan, we verder gaan met de Nederlanders". Maar als dat tegen de huidige voorwaarden is, is dat volgens Francken een groot probleem.
AMMAN (ANP/AFP) - Vanuit Iran zijn raketten afgevuurd richting de Jordaanse havenstad Aqaba, zegt het Israëlische leger. De Israëlische en Jordaanse strijdkrachten zouden een raket hebben onderschept.
Op verschillende plaatsen in Jordanië is het luchtalarm geactiveerd, meldt staatszender Al-Mamlaka.
Het Israëlische leger waarschuwt dat door de beschieting raketten op Israëlisch grondgebied terecht kunnen komen.
Luchthaven ontruimd
Eerder op zondag zei de Amerikaanse ambassade in Jordanië dat de Jordaanse autoriteiten de luchthaven en haven van Aqaba hadden ontruimd wegens een mogelijke dreiging, maar een Jordaanse regeringswoordvoerder ontkende dat.
Op vrijdag werden twee Amerikaanse militairen in Jordanië gedood door Iraanse aanvallen. Een derde raakte vermist.
When this is all over, people will tell us to move on. But those who perpetrated this reign of terror must be held accountable
One day, when Maga is out of power and the conditions of political possibility have changed, there are going to be people who tell you that the best thing for the country is to move on. There are going to be people who tell you that attempts to hold the purveyors of Trumpism accountable are petty, vindictive, engaging in a kind of petulant recrimination and score-settling. There are going to be people who tell you that there must not be investigations, that it would be a waste of time to have trials. There are going to be people who tell you that it is not wise to change the law to allow for prosecutions and lawsuits; that too great an emphasis on the past will only divide the country, and keep us from looking toward the future. This argument was made after Watergate; it was made after the civil war. It was wrong back then, and it will be wrong again when it is delivered, with piety and smugness, after Trump.
When Maga leaves power, all of the officers, bureaucrats and leaders of ICE – from the uniformed thugs in masks on the streets, to the contractors guarding concentration camps, to the suited vultures directing the operation in Washington and drafting legal memos to justify it – all of them must be held accountable. Their immunity from criminal prosecution and civil suits must be eradicated, and their liability must be made retroactive. They must be investigated, tried, fined, punished and ostracized. Needless to say, ICE must be abolished – attempts to merely reform it must be resisted as betrayals of democratic values. But it is not enough to abolish ICE. Those who are responsible for ICE must be driven from public life.

Born in Indianapolis in 1982, actor and musician Adam Lambert rose to fame in 2009 as runner-up on the eighth season of American Idol. His second album, Trespassing, made history as the first No 1 on the Billboard 200 by an openly gay male artist. He went on to front Queen + Adam Lambert from 2012, made his Broadway debut in 2024 as the Emcee in Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, and starred as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl in 2025. His sixth solo album, Adam, is out now. He performs at London’s Roundhouse on 21 July.
This was my first professional headshot. When I was 12 I would spend a lot of time driving from San Diego to Los Angeles for auditions with my mum and my brother, who also wanted to act. That guy in the plaid shirt never booked a single job. My brother did, though. He was a far cuter, more photogenic kid than I was.
