Every year in the heart of North America through the spring and early weeks of summer the gastronomic anticipation builds, radiating outward across the continent, exciting imaginations and stimulating appetites in even the most isolated coastal metropolises, until a day in mid-July when The List is at last released to a hungry world — the list of new foods at this year's Minnesota State Fair. 36 concoctions (only 5 of which appear to be on a stick or skewer) are slated to bow this year, joining the roughly 1,600 other culinary offerings at the 2026 Great Minnesota Get-Together (running August 27 to September 7).

JINJIANG (ANP/AFP) - De grote dodelijke brand in een schoenenfabriek in de Chinese stad Jinjiang is onder controle. Volgens de autoriteiten vielen er 28 doden. Het duurde uren voor de brandweer de brand meester was. Op het moment dat die donderdag uitbrak in een fabriek van de Huiteng Shoes Company waren volgens staatspersbureau Xinhua 237 werknemers aanwezig.

De brandweer en reddingswerkers hebben 213 mensen kunnen evacueren uit het brandende pand, maar twee evacués zijn daarna in een ziekenhuis overleden. Naar verloop van tijd zijn 26 mensen dood teruggevonden in de fabriek.

Aan de evacuatie en de bestrijding van de brand in het district Chendai hebben meer dan vijfhonderd mensen meegedaan. De Chinese president Xi Jinping zei al snel "een zwaar verlies aan mensenlevens" te vrezen. Hij gelastte een grondig onderzoek naar de oorzaak.

Chinese media meldden dat de eigenaar van het bedrijf en enkele andere betrokkenen zijn aangehouden in verband met het onderzoek naar de oorzaak.

OpenMandriva has accused a former contributor of using his trusted admin access to trash repositories and push a package that could have broken desktop installations after a community dispute spilled over into the project's infrastructure. The Linux distribution disclosed the incident in a forum post this week, describing what it called an attempted act of "distribution sabotage" allegedly involving Davide Beatrici, a developer known for his work on the Mumble instant messaging app. According to OpenMandriva, Beatrici joined the project some time ago and later offered to migrate its repository infrastructure from GitHub to his privately operated OneDev instance, mirroring several dozen repositories in the process. While some maintainers were uneasy about concentrating so much of the project's infrastructure in one person's hands, the proposal went ahead because, as the project put it, "he was such a well-known figure that we didn't expect anything bad." OpenMandriva says trouble started after two other contributors joined alongside Beatrici. One allegedly engaged in repeated abusive behavior toward users and project members, much of it in private messages. The project says several contributors left before the maintainers finally stepped in, kicking the individual out of the OpenMandriva-Cooker Matrix chat. He wasn't banned from the project, but OpenMandriva says the decision "triggered a cascade of events." Beatrici and another contributor then resigned. When OpenMandriva later decided there was little point continuing to mirror repositories to Beatrici's private infrastructure, it says it began severing those connections. According to the project, that didn't go down well. "This infuriated Davide so much that, abusing of the administrative privileges he still had, he sabotaged the distribution today in the early morning hours," the statement says. OpenMandriva alleges Beatrici deleted parts of its GitHub repositories containing years of development work. It also says he "decided to publish an empty package in the cooker repository, which obsoleted all gnome and cosmic packages, which could have damaged the systems of people using gnome or cosmic." The Cooker repository is OpenMandriva's rolling development branch, not a stable release, so the damage appears to have been confined to bleeding-edge users rather than to everyone running the distro. Even so, having one disgruntled admin yank years of work and potentially break package updates isn't the sort of resilience test most projects volunteer for. The project says it is restoring the deleted repositories and repairing the affected packages. It also says it carried out "a full system audit" and found that "aside from the removed packages, we found no other violations." OpenMandriva adds that it considered legal action, saying the alleged sabotage "constituted a criminal offense," but ultimately decided against it. According to tech publication The Lunduke Journal, Beatrici said that "this was by no means a sabotage. The objective was not to harm the distribution I cared for." He reportedly admitted deleting Cosmic and Gnome repositories and said he did this because someone was "messing with my work." The Register has contacted OpenMandriva to ask whether any stable releases were affected, how many repositories were deleted or modified, and what changes the project plans to make to administrative access. Every project needs contributors, but they don't all need the kind of access that can turn a disagreement into a recovery exercise. ®

Een 34-jarige man uit Vlaardingen is donderdag veroordeeld tot 27,5 jaar gevangenisstraf voor een schietpartij met dodelijke afloop in de buurt van het Zeeuwse Ritthem. Volgens de rechter is bewezen dat hij bijna twee jaar geleden van dichtbij twee mannen neerschoot. Eén van hen overleefde het niet. Een kille, professionele liquidatie na - vermoedelijk - een ruzie over drugs.

With Saudi spending restricted and a glut of departures and arrivals the stakes are high for Eddie Howe, and his captain, amid uncertain times on Tyneside

Is it the end of the road for Bruno Guimarães and Newcastle or are they destined to share at least one more adventure?

With Arsenal anxious to add Eddie Howe’s Brazil midfielder to their armoury and Guimarães receptive to such advances, it remains hard to predict whether Newcastle’s intransigent resistance will be broken.

Iran responds by targeting US-allied Kuwait and Qatar and accusing US of striking near its sole nuclear power plant

The US has launched new airstrikes against Iran, hours after Donald Trump threatened to escalate the conflict unless Iran stopped attacking ships in the strait of Hormuz.

Iran, which was burying its former supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on Thursday, responded by targeting US-allied Kuwait and Qatar and accused the US of striking near its sole nuclear power plant.
