Ten million people left without power in latest of outages that sparked violent protest last weekend
Cuba’s national electric grid has collapsed, the country’s grid operator has said, leaving approximately 10 million people without power amid a US-imposed oil blockade that has crippled the island’s already obsolete generation system.
The grid operator, UNE, said on social media on Monday that it was investigating the causes of the blackout, the latest in a series of widespread outages that last for hours or days and that last weekend sparked a rare violent protest in the communist-run country.

Last year, as the major fall film festivals took place around the world, it was hard to make out the sound of audience applause. It wasn’t an attendance issue or that booing was heard instead (that’s solely a Cannes response), it was that, for many, hands were too busy wringing to find time to clap.
The trifecta of Venice, Telluride and Toronto was once seen as an inescapable fixture on a film’s road to the Oscars. Best picture winners such as 12 Years a Slave, Spotlight, Birdman, Moonlight, The Shape of Water and Green Book all rose within that circuit and cemented their reception at festivals and world premieres and often felt judged for awards potential over quality. But over the past few years, as the Academy has changed and diversified its voting body and as the industry has changed in so many other ways, something has shifted. Winning films have come from Cannes, Sundance, SXSW and, most shockingly, no festival at all …

BRUSSEL (ANP/RTR) - Italië, Frankrijk en zeven andere landen hebben Brussel gewaarschuwd voor de milieurisico's rond de Russische lng-tanker die stuurloos op de Middellandse Zee dobbert. Dat meldt persbureau Reuters, dat inzage had in de brief die de landen stuurden naar de Europese Commissie. Daarin roepen de landen de Europese Unie op snel actie te ondernemen.
De Arctic Metagaz zou volgens Rusland eerder deze maand door Oekraïne zijn aangevallen met zeedrones en vaart sindsdien stuurloos tussen Italië en Malta. CNN schat op basis van Italiaanse autoriteiten dat het vaartuig nog circa 60.000 ton lng en 900 ton diesel aan boord heeft. Vermoed wordt dat het schip deel uitmaakt van de zogenoemde schaduwvloot waarmee Rusland sancties die zijn ingesteld tegen het land probeert te omzeilen.
Het schip was van Moermansk onderweg naar Egypte toen het werd geraakt. Nadat brand was uitgebroken op het schip, verlieten de dertig opvarenden de tanker. Zij werden naar Libië gebracht.
KABUL (ANP/AFP/RTR) - De Afghaanse hoofdstad Kabul is opnieuw getroffen door luchtaanvallen uit Pakistan, melden de Taliban. Meerdere burgers zouden zijn gedood.
Journalisten ter plekke meldden meerdere explosies in Kabul. Mensen zouden uit paniek hun huizen uit rennen om naar schuilkelders te gaan. Volgens de Taliban werd onder meer een afkickkliniek geraakt.
Pakistan heeft buurland Afghanistan de afgelopen weken meerdere keren aangevallen. Het conflict laaide op nadat Pakistan de Afghaanse Taliban ervan had beschuldigd dat ze extremistische groeperingen steunden en verborgen. Die groepen zouden verantwoordelijk zijn voor aanslagen in Pakistan.
De Taliban noemen de nieuwste aanvallen een schending van Afghaans grondgebied en een "daad van onmenselijkheid".
