Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad believe Racing Bulls achieved "a big turnaround" during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, with the pair scoring points in Sunday's race.

Sergio Perez was so close to scoring a point in Monaco, but his P10 finish was not to be after a post-race penalty for a start infringement.

Aston Martin scored for the first time this season in Monaco, with Fernando Alonso grabbing P10 and the last point on offer at the end of a frantic race.

After another victory, more Formula 1 records were broken by Kimi Antonelli with his latest success in the Monaco Grand Prix. Amongst several, the Italian became the youngest driver to win on the streets of the Principality, but who did he beat to claim the accolade?

Pole and victory for Lando Norris in the Miami Sprint last month appeared to suggest that McLaren were starting to regain the sort of momentum that it enjoyed in 2024 and 2025.

Researchers say mysterious, seconds-long GPS interference bursts detected across Europe appear to come from Russian EKS early-warning satellites, making this "a rare example of human-made GPS interference coming from space," reports Ars Technica. The signals may be tests of space-based jamming capability, short satellite communications, or something else, but experts say they raise troubling questions about whether GPS disruption could eventually be weaponized on a continental scale. From the report: The discovery came from an investigation detailed in a June 2 preprint paper by Todd Humphreys and his student Zach Clements at The University of Texas at Austin, along with Argyris Krizise at Stanford University in California. By sifting through public data from ground-based stations with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers, they identified a pattern of high-powered interference lasting less than 10 seconds each time but simultaneously detectable by ground stations across Europe from Norway to Spain to Poland, and even reaching as far west as Greenland and Canada.

By analyzing the ground station data from January 2019 to April 2026, the researchers found 75 days with at least one widespread GNSS interference event overlapping with the GPS L1 frequency band centered on 1575.42 megahertz. That represents the main band used for signal transmission by the US-made GPS satellite constellation and GNSS constellations from other countries. Such interference patterns happened mostly on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays during business hours in Europe, Humphreys told the YouTube channel Veritasium. Because such "continental-scale" interference was simultaneously affecting GPS receivers across Europe and beyond, Humphreys and his colleagues calculated that the source had to be at least 1,200 kilometers above the Earth.

[...] In the Veritasium video, Humphreys speculated that the Russians may have been testing the satellites' GPS interference capabilities only briefly on a neighboring frequency adjacent to the typical GPS band. "And then in the eventual future when there is a hot conflict, they go ahead and tune their transmitter down to the GPS band, but it's much more damaging now that it lies right on that band," he said. Incidentally, the raw data also revealed a second interference burst from the Russian satellites in a lower-frequency band used by China's BeiDou navigation system. "I can no longer say this is accidental with confidence," Humphreys told Veritasium. He also described the Russian satellites' quiet demonstration as a "massive escalation in the electronic warfare background conflict that is going on right now." Richard Bowden, division head of assured and resilient PNT at the multinational technology company GMV in Spain, wrote in a LinkedIn comment: "These signals are, without a doubt, intentional and placed on or around GNSS signals, and have the potential to disrupt legitimate use of GNSS services. But from our side at least, we can't be sure they are intentionally malicious or intended as an EW [electronic warfare] weapon."

Twee auto's zijn dinsdagochtend met elkaar in botsing gekomen op de Marathonweg in Vlaardingen. De bestuurders zijn door ambulancepersoneel nagekeken. Of iemand gewond is geraakt, is niet bekend. Wel raakten beide voertuigen flink beschadigd.

Een container is dinsdag van een vrachtwagen geschoten in Capelle aan den IJssel. Dat gebeurde rond 11:30 uur aan de Hoofdweg. De container kwam dwars over de weg te liggen.

Conservative leader also says public service workers do not need equality law to get them to treat people fairly

Badenoch said, after the murder of Stephen Lawrence, it was right that people wanted to ensure this did not happen again.

It led to the Macpherson report, she said.

[It] wanted to put right what went wrong with policing in the 1990s.

However, in attempting to do so, it also enshrined a principle which I believe is wrong that a racist incident is racist if it is perceived as racist by the victim or any other person.

Equality law, properly designed, should protect us all in the same way. It should be a shield, not a sword.

It should protect people from discrimination. It should protect people from being treated differently because of their race, sex, religion, sexuality, disability or age.

Left-wing candidate vows ‘fight for a healthier, safer and more joyful Los Angeles’ after edging out Spencer Pratt

Few Americans would abandon their party’s candidate over controversies such as Democrat Graham Platner’s Nazi-linked tattoo in Maine or Republican Ken Paxton’s fraud indictment in Texas, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, highlighting deep partisan divides that make winning paramount.

Two-thirds of party-aligned respondents said they sometimes have to vote for a candidate they don’t like just to stop the other party from winning power, according to the six-day poll completed on Monday.

The company is clearly trying to make an example of the author who wrote about her time at the company. Her free speech should be protected

This year’s Hay festival concluded with a strange spectacle. I was on a panel about the dangers of excessive tech power, alongside former Meta employee Sarah Wynn-Williams – who sat without saying anything on the advice of her lawyer. She had been silenced by Meta’s legal threats to bankrupt her if she spoke.

Wynn-Williams has written a book, Careless People, about her time at Meta (then Facebook), where she was an early director of global public policy. In the tradition of such books (usually written by former government officials), it is in parts flattering, more often critical and, above all, insightful.

Ja, even over dat EU-migratiepact dat op 12 juni ingaat en waarvan het kabinet hoopt dat het de asielcrisis bezweert. IND-baas Rhodia Maas stelt die verwachtingen toch even naar beneden toe bij. Of liever, ze veegt ze volledig van tafel, want het migratiepact gaat alleen over de procedures en kortere beslistermijnen die lidstaten vanaf 12 juni zullen hanteren. Maar het probleem meneer, dat blijft, zo lijkt de boodschap:

"De bedoeling is namelijk dat de landen aan de buitengrenzen van Europa de migrantenstroom grotendeels afvangen. „Het gaat echt, echt helpen in de asielprocedure. Maar dat gedeelte speelt zich natuurlijk vooral buiten onze macht af.” (...) Als het pact gaat werken zoals het bedoeld is, zou Nederland heel weinig asielaanvragen moeten ontvangen. „Als je heel zuiver kijkt, gaat het voor Nederland alleen om de mensen die via Schiphol binnenkomen.” De werkelijkheid is op dit moment anders. „Rechters bepalen soms dat asielzoekers niet terug mogen worden gestuurd. Ook gebeurt het dat de maximale termijn van anderhalf jaar die geldt voor zulke terugkeerclaims verloopt.”"

Waar het op neerkomt: Europees migratiebeleid heeft niks met rechtstatelijkheid te maken. Het is juridisch fetisjisme dat het universele mensenrechten-ethos - dat eind jaren 80 al dissonant werd - dwangmatig toe blijft passen op een wereld die nooit bestond, willens en wetens ten koste van de bevolkingen die deze notie van mensenrechten ooit codificeerden en bestendigen. 

Er bestaat niet zoiets als een 'instroom die ons buiten onze macht afspeelt', het is geen natuurgeweld waar we simpelweg op mee moeten deinen. Kijk maar naar Hongarije en Polen, daar worden ze gewoon met scheermesdraad, waterkanonnen, waperstokken en rubberen kogels buiten de grens gehouden. Er speelt helemaal niets buiten onze macht af, het is juridisch fetisjisme vermengd met je reinste onwil.

Zoals het gezegde luidt, "Belief in universal human rights requires belief in the universal human", en die universele mens die de Westerling overal meent te zien, lijkt toch steeds vaker een heel plaatselijke, tijd-specifieke configuratie.

Het kan wel, het is gewoon pure onwil

French officials are investigating a compromise of the government’s encrypted messaging service Tchap after attackers hijacked an account and gained access to public chat rooms. The incident came to light on June 7 when France's National Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI) detected suspicious activity on Tchap, the government's homegrown messaging service used across ministries and public sector organizations. The French Digital Affairs Directorate (DINUM), which operates the platform, said it immediately began investigating the compromise and moved to block the affected account. French officials insist the damage was limited and said the attacker could only see messages posted in public chat rooms, which are accessible to all Tchap users. Private conversations, the government says, are encrypted, and their contents remain inaccessible even when an account is compromised. Not everyone is buying that version of events. A cyber criminal has claimed responsibility for the attack and said they were able to gain access after they “social engineered” a valid agent account associated with Tchap's education environment. The alleged hacker claims they accessed more than 73,000 user accounts, 643,000 messages, nearly 60,000 media files, and hundreds of chat rooms. The post, shared by Dark Web Intelligence, also claimed user enumeration was possible through a directory search function and suggested the data included references to documents marked "Diffusion Restreinte," a French government restricted-distribution classification. None of those claims have been independently verified, and DINUM's statement makes no mention of user directory exposure, restricted documents, or the volumes of data cited by the hacker. What French officials have confirmed is that investigators are still working through logs to determine exactly which conversations were accessed and whether any data was exfiltrated. The agency has also notified France's data protection watchdog, CNIL, after determining that personal information may have been exposed through content shared in conversations accessible to the attacker. “A message has been sent to all Tchap users reminding them that a public chat room can be found and joined by any user and that its content is not encrypted,” French officials added. “In accordance with Tchap's terms of service, no personal, sensitive, or confidential information should be exchanged in public chat rooms: such exchanges should be reserved for private chat rooms.” Whether the incident amounts to a limited exposure of public chat rooms or something considerably larger will depend on what investigators find in the logs, but for now, the government and the attacker are telling very different stories. ®
