Een auto is maandagmiddag in brand gevlogen in Rotterdam-Noord. Dat gebeurde op een parkeerplaats aan de Abraham van Stolkweg. Bij de brand kwam veel rook vrij en het voertuig raakte flink beschadigd.

Western states experience unseasonally low temperatures but New York and Washington DC could reach 40C by end of week
Unseasonal snow has fallen in some parts of the US, while other parts of the country brace for a heatwave this week.
A strong cold front spread into the western US from the northern Pacific over the weekend, bringing an abrupt change in conditions to a region that had been experiencing high summer temperatures amid drought. Temperatures from the Canadian border to California have widely been 5-10C below the norm since Friday, and more than 10C below in some parts farther north. The pattern is expected to remain for much of the coming week.

Stokes announces England retirement | Email Cameron
We’ve had a couple people emailing in (get in contact here) about their thoughts from yesterday.
Liam (hello, Liam) doesn’t hold back: “I thought yesterday was a display of complete arrogance, in keeping with the shambles of the last couple of years.”

Earlier this week, national security agencies from the Five Eyes – that’s the rich, English-language-speaking countries club – jointly released a statement warning of the increasing cyber risks of AI models: in particular, their ability to autonomously hack into systems and networks. The statement was more measured than some of the breathless headlines about it, and the advice they gave is pretty much the standard advice everyone gives – albeit with newfound urgency.
Internet risks are nothing new, and cyber-attacks – both large and small – have been a significant issue since long before the current crop of generative AI models.

I have a core caponata memory, and it doesn’t take place in Italy. It was during my first visit to the Globe theatre in London, which all felt very magical: Shakespeare, an open-air theatre, plus an open-air foyer with a huge, paella-style pan of freshly stewing caponata. I instantly regretted going for a substandard meal beforehand, because in this pan were the glossiest, sweetest-smelling aubergines (with a hint of sour), finished with celery, pine nuts and all the gubbins – I still regret not pushing through the fullness barrier and ordering a portion. Since then, I’ve eaten wonderful caponata and it remains one of my favourite Italian dishes. Here, I’ve incorporated the essence of it into a weeknight orzotto.

Researchers at a Florida university say bacterial toxins produced by tiny marine organisms they have studied in Antarctica could become an effective treatment for melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
A team from the University of South Florida (USF) recently returned from a six-week expedition to one of the world’s remotest regions in which they collected samples of ascidians, invertebrates known as sea squirts that thrive in the icy waters.

Mark Flekken (33) uit Kerkrade denkt niet dat hij wakker blijft om Oranje te zien. “Neuh, ben ik niet van plan. Wel een leuke wedstrijd, daar niet van, maar ik moet morgen denk ik gewoon werken, of anders een vroege vlucht pakken”, vertelt hij.
Flekken vertelt dat het WK voor hem sowieso nog niet zo leeft. “Het kan aan mij liggen, maar ik vind het allemaal nog niet erg spannend tot nu toe. Ik ben voor Nederland – Tunesië wel wakker gebleven, maar dat vond ik ook niks. Na zeven minuten was die wedstrijd voorbij en zat ik me vooral te ergeren aan die drinkpauzes. Ik ben toen eerlijk gezegd ook al een paar keer weggedommeld.”
“Dus nee, ik sla m’n lekker over denk ik, ik hoor wel wat het geworden is”, zegt Flekken. “Ik heb tegen m’n maten gezegd dat ze me wel wakker mogen maken als er een strafschoppenserie komt.”
