US indicts former Cuban president Raúl Castro as it seeks to oust regime

Charges filed in Miami against 94-year-old for allegedly shooting down exiles’ planes in 1996

The United States has issued a federal criminal indictment against Raúl Castro, Cuba’s former president, on Wednesday, and five others in a significant escalation of the Trump administration’s campaign to oust the country’s six-decades-old communist regime.

The 94-year-old political figurehead was charged in Miami, Florida, with conspiracy to kill US nationals, four counts of murder and two counts of destruction of aircraft, according to court filings obtained by CBS.

Russian jet causes ‘dangerous’ near miss after flying close to RAF spy plane

UK calls incident ‘unacceptable’ after Su-27 jet comes within six metres of unarmed RAF plane over Black Sea

A Russian jet flew within six metres of an RAF spy plane flying at 500mph over the Black Sea, one of two mid-air incidents last month described as “dangerous and unacceptable” by the defence secretary, John Healey.

An Su-27 jet conducted six passes in front of an unarmed RAF Rivet Joint flying close to its nose, risking a collision that could have caused a diplomatic crisis between the two countries.

Former minister with terminal cancer urges MPs not to bring back assisted dying bill

Exclusive: Ashley Dalton says rejected amendments could have made bill stronger but it became a ‘pretty dangerous set of affairs’

A former public health minister facing terminal cancer has urged MPs not to bring back the assisted dying bill in England and Wales.

The Labour MP Ashley Dalton revealed she would be on lifelong treatment for metastatic breast cancer, which has spread throughout her body – but said her parliamentary colleagues should not revive the bill, which would legalise an assisted death to those with a terminal illness.

British Council staff in Italy to strike over proposed 80% workforce cut

Soft power institution faces funding crisis linked to Covid-era government loan due to be repaid by September

Staff at the British Council in Italy will go on strike over deep cuts that would slash about 80% of its workforce due to a funding crisis facing the organisation.

Out of 130 of its teaching staff across Rome, Milan and Naples, 108 are being targeted as teaching activities in Italy face the axe. The move would end 80 years of British Council English language teaching in Italy as part of the organisation’s global mission to promote British culture and education across the world, sources said.

I didn’t think it was possible to love Kylie Minogue any more – her new Netflix series changed that | Emma Brockes

After the glut of brand-building shows from other celebrities, the Kylie documentary is radical for simply allowing the star to come across as human

Kylie, the new three-part documentary that launched on Netflix on Wednesday and has been making me verklempt ever since, is great in every way it’s possible for TV to be. But on the basis of the first two and a half episodes, a couple of things jump out: Kylie’s almost superhuman ability to stay cheerful in the face of intense provocation, and the extraordinary rudeness she had to tolerate from interviewers back in the day.

Here’s Michael Parkinson in 2004, grinning like an alligator and asking her a question considered totally fine at the time: “What about children? You’re 35 now, leaving it a bit late aren’t you?” And a few years later, Cat Deeley, asking roughly the same question, albeit slightly more diplomatically, right after Kylie had emerged from chemotherapy for breast cancer. Nice work, guys!

Bye-bye, Gemini CLI; Google's gone and swapped you for a closed-source AI

Pour one out for the Gemini Command Line Interface. Come June 18, the open source development agent will stop serving most users in favor of the new Antigravity CLI, and developers aren’t happy that the replacement is far less open than the old tool. Google announced the Antigravity CLI at Google I/O this week, billing it as a way for the Chocolate Factory to unify its efforts in developing a command line interface for AI agents. One of the key arguments Google makes in a post about transitioning from Gemini CLI to Antigravity CLI is that the new one has improved support for multi-agent environments, but the company isn’t giving most of its users much of a choice on whether to switch. “On June 18, 2026, Gemini CLI and Gemini Code Assist IDE extensions will stop serving requests for Google AI Pro and Ultra, as well as those using it free of charge using Gemini Code Assist for individuals,” the Gemini CLI team wrote in their announcement of the transition. The change also affects Gemini Code Assist for GitHub, which won’t allow new installations beginning June 18, and will stop serving requests in the following weeks. Enterprises appear to be getting a pass, however, with Google noting that those using Gemini CLI or its IDE extensions through a Gemini Code Assist Standard or Enterprise license won’t see any changes in their access, nor will Gemini Code Assist for GitHub users accessing the tools through their enterprise Google Cloud accounts. “Gemini CLI will remain accessible via paid Gemini and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform API keys,” Google explained. For everyone else, sorry: It’s Antigravity CLI or bust, but don’t expect the same experience. “There won't be 1:1 feature parity right out of the gate” between Gemini CLI and Antigravity CLI, Google added. Agent skills, hooks, subagents, and extensions are all being supported by Antigravity CLI at launch. But other stuff may take time to arrive, if it does at all. Pray we don’t alter the deal any further Take a look at the Gemini CLI GitHub page, and you'll find all the code that made it possible - it is an open-source project, after all. Surf over to the Antigravity CLI GitHub page and all you’ll see is a change log, readme, and a GIF file demonstrating the tool’s appearance. That’s right: Antigravity CLI isn’t open source - at least not from what Google has published so far - and it took developers no time at all to notice. Gemini CLI Lead Product Manager Dmitry Lyalin took to GitHub to make an announcement detailing some additional info about the forced CLI tool migration, and the comments are rife with people frustrated by the move. No small portion of the vitriol is targeted at apparent usage limits, with multiple people reporting they’d hit their weekly quota with just a couple of requests. The issues page for Antigravity CLI similarly has numerous posts asking Google to look into usage limits. Other posts accuse Google of using open-source contributions to improve a new closed-source product and generally express frustration with Google for killing yet another thing customers relied on. At the same time, Lyalin teased developers by telling them that, no, Gemini CLI isn’t truly gone if you’re willing to pay top dollar for it. “The project remains available to the community as an Apache 2.0 licensed repository with no changes,” Lyalin noted in his GitHub post. “You will continue to see us work on GitHub as we keep Gemini CLI updated with latest model releases, bugs and security fixes for our enterprise customers.” Now please open your wallets if you want access to this open-source product. Google didn’t respond to questions for this story. ®

Bas Eickhout stopt in EU-parlement, deels om 'ongepaste relaties'

STRAATSBURG (ANP) - Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks-PvdA) stopt na zeventien jaar als Europarlementariër. Hij doet dat deels om relaties in het verleden die "niet passen bij mijn rol", schrijft hij in een verklaring op BlueSky. De 49-jarige Eickhout maakte vorige week bekend een relatie te hebben met de 25-jarige Oostenrijkse Europarlementariër Lena Schilling. Zij is in het parlement aangesloten bij de Groenen, waar Eickhout vicevoorzitter van is.

"Ik heb in het verleden relaties gehad die niet passen bij mijn rol. Dat had ik niet mogen doen en daar neem ik mijn verantwoordelijkheid voor", aldus Eickhout.

Eurochef Progressief Nederland Bas Eickhout stapt op: "Relaties gehad die niet passen bij mijn rol"

Ja kijk, er is een slag man dat graag een relatie wil met een vrouw die de helft van z'n leeftijd is, en het goede nieuws is dat dit zodra het heerschap 37 is nog legaal is ook. Het echt heuglijke nieuws: het is klimaatwetenschapper en EuroPRObons Bas Eickhout gelukt! Vorige week bleek hij het aan te hebben gelegd met zijn 25-jarige collega Lena Schilling, maar het Eickhout groeit waar het niet gaan kan dus daar blijft het niet bij. Op BlueSky kondigt hij zijn vertrek uit Brussel aan en het sympathieke is dat je helemaal niet tussen de regels door hoeft te lezen om te lezen wat er tussen de regels door staat. "Ik heb in het verleden niet altijd het juiste gedaan. Ik heb relaties gehad die niet passen bij mijn rol. Dat had ik niet mogen doen en daar neem ik mijn verantwoordelijkheid voor. Die reflectie, samen met het besef dat de partij een nieuwe fase ingaat, heeft mij tot dit besluit gebracht." Oké, nou, lekker gewerkt, Bas!

Na lang nadenken heb ik vandaag besloten om af te treden als Europarlementariër voor PRO en als co-voorzitter van de Europese Groene groep.
