Now grown, three siblings search for clues as to why their parents left them at a Barcelona railway station in 1984 – and uncover a secret family history they could never have imagined

Did you know your surname when you were five years old? The more you think about it, the harder the question becomes to answer. Most of us will have been lucky enough for it not to matter – parents or guardians were always on hand to look after those details. But for Ramón, Elvira and Ricard, it was a very real issue. Their family name was a mystery. Over its four episodes, this gripping documentary series both shows and tells what that absence really means.

The three siblings were found by a station guard as they wandered around Barcelona’s Estació de França in 1984. They carried no luggage or ID. The oldest of them ( Ramón) was five. They had been driven there by a man they knew only as Denis. He had left, ostensibly to buy them sweets, and never returned. No adults came forward to claim them so they found themselves in the Spanish childcare system.

For true patriots with short memories and cash to waste, his limited-edition bling might be an ideal gift

America’s 250th anniversary celebrations are not exactly going to plan. A wealth of acts have pulled out of semiquincentennial concerts. An mock-up of Donald Trump’s planned Triumphal Arch at the Great American State Fair is visibly oozing. Some of Disney’s celebratory Americana apparel range was found to have been made in China. But, as ever, things could be worse. After all, you could have chosen to spend the anniversary wearing a Kevin Spacey ring.

Because, in a sentence that nobody could have ever expected to read, Kevin Spacey is selling a special edition signet ring to commemorate America’s independence.

Six matches from Cardiff to Córdoba are bound to be intriguing – but player welfare is taking a back seat

You know something is not quite right about a competition when Fiji are hosting Wales in Cardiff. You know something is not quite right when the Wales players are locked in negotiation with their paymasters over “employment terms” three days before the Test.

Welcome to rugby’s latest controversial ruse. The next time World Rugby spouts that thing about player welfare being their No 1 priority, just say “Nations Championship” back at them. The next time the governing body goes on about the sanctity of the World Cup, do the same.

AdaptHealth says attackers used social engineering to breach its systems and steal sensitive patient data, including passwords associated with insurance billing. The medical equipment company disclosed the attack to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Thursday, noting that attackers accessed internal patient management systems, document storage platforms, and external electronic health record system portals. The attack targeted an unwitting third-party contractor, through which the cybercriminals gained entry to the company's cloud environment, where they accessed business applications holding sensitive data. AdaptHealth activated its incident response protocols soon after the attacker contacted the company on June 15 and disclosed the theft. It did not specify whether an extortion demand was made, nor whether one was paid, and no cybercrime group had claimed responsibility at the time of writing. The company's response included disabling the contractor's user account, resetting credentials, and implementing additional access controls. It believes the attack is now contained. In addition to the "password file associated with insurance billing," AdaptHealth confirmed that personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information of certain patients were also stolen. Social Security numbers and payment details are not thought to be affected. On June 27, AdaptHealth determined that "due to the nature and potential volume of the data that is at risk," the attack can be considered material, requiring disclosure to the SEC. The company did not comment on the exact scale of the attack or the related data theft, but said investigations continue to determine the scope of the breach. It also said it "has since taken steps intended to mitigate the risk of dissemination of the exfiltrated data." The Register asked AdaptHealth for more information, including whether it received any extortion demands and what steps it took to reduce the risk of the stolen data being distributed or misused. Pennsylvania-based AdaptHealth provides home medical equipment and related services for patients with chronic and serious conditions. Founded in 2012, it specializes in respiratory, sleep, and diabetes therapies. According to a 2024 annual report, it serves more than 4.2 million patients across all 50 US states. ®

Nog voordat de liftdeuren op de derde verdieping van het Depot in Rotterdam opengaan, vult een weeïge, vette geur de ruimte. Dichterbij de tentoonstellingszaal wordt die lucht onmiskenbaar: pindakaas. Op de vloer ligt het kunstwerk dat zo intens je neus binnendringt: de Pindakaasvloer van de onlangs overleden kunstenaar Wim T. Schippers.

De NAVO-landen komen dinsdag en woensdag bijeen in Ankara. Ondanks een diplomatieke reis van secretaris-generaal Mark Rutte zijn er geen garanties dat de top met president Trump vlekkeloos zal verlopen.
