Koningspaar sluit 5 mei-concert swingend af met latinmuziek

AMSTERDAM (ANP) - Koning Willem-Alexander en koningin Máxima konden tijdens het 5 mei-concert in Amsterdam niet blijven stilstaan toen Rolf Sanchez aan het einde van de avond een mix van Spaanstalige muziek ten gehore bracht. De zanger sloot de jaarlijkse show af met latin-nummers als Vivir Mi Vida, Más Más Más en Danza Kuduro.

Vooral de van oorsprong Argentijnse koningin Máxima toonde haar enthousiasme voor het genre en bewoog ritmisch mee op de maat van de muziek. Het optreden werd afgesloten met vuurwerk, waarna alle artiesten het podium betraden om het traditionele slotnummer We'll Meet Again van Vera Lynn te zingen. Ondertussen stapte het koningspaar op een rondvaartboot, terwijl ze al zwaaiend en zingend de Amstel verlieten.

Eerder op de avond zongen de koning en koningin vrolijk mee met het nummer Somebody to Love van Queen, dat werd uitgevoerd door The Dutch Tenors. Daarnaast waren er optredens van onder anderen Edsilia Rombley, Roxeanne Hazes en Acda en De Munnik. Tineke Schouten en Splinter Chabot presenteerden de avond.

Bukayo Saka edges Arsenal past Atlético Madrid to reach Champions League final

Everything that Arsenal had poured into a hugely impressive Champions League campaign came down to this. It was not about more plaudits, more pride. It was purely about taking the next step, moving to the verge of history.

On an increasingly frenzied night, when the ghosts of previous near misses under Mikel Arteta provided a part of the story, they made surely the boldest advance so far under their manager. It is the prospect of what comes next in the final against Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich that tantalises. It was a night when Arteta struggled to keep a lid on his emotions. Ditto his Atlético Madrid counterpart, Diego Simeone. But it only made the final whistle sound more beautiful for everybody with Arsenal in their hearts.

US Government Warns of Severe CopyFail Bug Affecting Major Versions of Linux

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: A severe security vulnerability affecting almost every version of the Linux operating system has caught defenders off-guard and scrambling to patch after security researchers publicly released exploit code that allows attackers to take complete control of vulnerable systems. The U.S. government says the bug, dubbed "CopyFail," is now being exploited in the wild, meaning it's being actively used in malicious hacking campaigns. [...] Given the risk to the federal enterprise network, U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA has ordered all civilian federal agencies to patch any affected systems by May 15.
