NEW YORK (ANP) - Een 27-jarige vrouw en een vijf maanden oude baby zijn omgekomen nadat een boot zaterdagavond was omgeslagen in de haven van de Amerikaanse stad New York. Dat melden Amerikaanse media, waaronder CNN. Het incident gebeurde nabij Liberty Island, waar het Vrijheidsbeeld staat.
Reddingsteams, onder wie duikers, werden naar de locatie gestuurd na een melding van het incident, dat omstreeks 22.30 uur lokale tijd plaatsvond, aldus een politieverklaring. Twaalf opvarenden, onder wie de kapitein, konden worden gered. Duikers vonden later de vrouw en de baby in het water. Zij werden in het ziekenhuis doodverklaard. Het is nog niet duidelijk of ze familie van elkaar zijn.
De oorzaak van het kapseizen van de boot wordt nog onderzocht. Er zijn geen arrestaties verricht, aldus de politie.
MADRID (ANP/RTR) - Spanje heeft op de eerste dag van grenscontroles 199 reizigers vanuit Italië gecontroleerd, meldt het ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken. De controles volgen na een aanvaring met de Italiaanse regering over de komst van tienduizenden migranten naar de Spaanse exclave Ceuta, eind juli.
Spanje controleerde inzittenden van twaalf vluchten vanuit Italië naar verschillende vliegvelden in het land. De controles waren vrijdag aangekondigd. Aanleiding was het Italiaanse besluit om het vrije grensverkeer vanuit Spanje voorlopig op te schorten om te voorkomen dat er migranten doorkomen.
De Italiaanse minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Antonio Tajani zegt zondag tegen de krant Corriere della Sera dat de maatregelen tijdelijk zijn. "We hopen de schorsing zo snel mogelijk te kunnen opheffen, zodra het risico geweken is."
Italië en Spanje delen geen landsgrens en Ceuta ligt in Noord-Afrika. Wie vanuit de exclave naar het Europese vasteland wil, moet langs een grenscontrole.
Crystal Palace Bowl, London
Nas performs his gritty but intricate 90s classics, sharing the bill on the first London edition of the Roots Picnic festival with Questlove and co’s exuberant funk
Looking out over the audience at the Crystal Palace Bowl, Nas feels moved to reminisce about his first visit to London. It was in 1994, around the time he released his landmark debut album Illmatic; he remembers performing on pirate radio stations and “eating good Jamaican food”. It seems unlikely that he ever thought he’d be back in the capital sharing the stage with a man playing a sousaphone, but such is the power of the Roots Picnic, a US institution for nearly 20 years. Its famously eclectic bill has regularly featured great rappers backed by hip-hop’s premier live band, sousaphone player and all: Lil’ Wayne, the Wu-Tang Clan, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z.
Before Nas appears at the festival’s first London iteration, the Roots play their own set, augmented by a guest appearance from Yasiin Bey, the rapper formerly known as Mos Def. It plays out almost as one long medley which shifts restlessly between their own back catalogue and old funk, soul and disco covers. They do a killer version of James Brown’s The Payback. Awesomely tight, driven by the relentless crack of drummer Questlove’s snare and heavy on jazzy brass solos, it’s a perfect demonstration of the unique musical space they’ve carved out over the years, somewhere between hip-hop and jam band: the Grateful Dead of rap, if you like.

Andy Burnham is to undertake a national tour this coming week as he aims to improve the government’s connection with the British public during his premiership.
The prime minister is expected to announce a set of policies that will help people financially as many struggle with the cost of living, as well as indicate his intent to improve high streets across the country.

Trends at Copenhagen fashion week are usually easy to spot. The so-called “fifth fashion week”, a laidback sibling to the other four main fashion cities, has previously popularised everything from romantic floaty dresses with practical trainers to giant hair scrunchies. But during its latest iteration that wrapped up on Friday, a much more subtle trend had emerged – naked nails.
From the models on the catwalks to show-goers and passersby, fingers and toes featured short and unvarnished nails. The trend is a sharp shift away from the long, bright and glossy mani/pedis that have more recently dominated beauty standards.

Debates on the left are typically framed as a division between moderates and progressives, with the two sides wrestling over how best to form a governing coalition. Yet, in many ways, this divide obscures a much bigger fault line: the class divide. The fact is, many of the Democratic party’s ideological factions consist almost exclusively of college-educated professionals. As a result, the priorities of this class tend to dominate the party’s appeals. The priorities of working-class voters, meanwhile, are an afterthought.
A new report from Jared Abbott, the director of the Center for Working Class Politics, and Joan Williams, author of Outclassed: How the Left Lost the Working Class and How to Win Them Back, looks at ways to bridge the yawning class divide that threatens the possibility of forming a winning coalition.

With their bright red tunics, dark blue breeches and beige Stetsons, the officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police offer a globally recognised symbol of Canada.
The Mounties, as they are colloquially known, have been featured across popular culture for decades, from Hollywood films to the Simpsons.

IGN reports:
[A] new report suggests that all three memory manufacturers — Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron — have collectively sold through their 2027 memory manufacturing capacity to, you guessed it, AI companies.
According to a report from Digitimes and spotted by TweakTown, all DRAM and HBM capacity has been sold through for 2027, with no further supply planned. (The companies themselves have not yet confirmed this to be the case.) Of course, that only means that retail prices are going to go up even further in the near future.
Selling through all the capacity for next year would be bad enough for consumers, but the problem is that most of the companies buying up this capacity have done so through long-term purchasing agreements, essentially pre-ordering memory that hasn't even been manufactured yet over a five-year term. Unless more capacity opens up somewhere in the next few years, it's hard to imagine that RAM will become more affordable and less scarce any time soon.
It's not just memory that's affected. According to that Digitimes report, NAND storage is growing in demand too. Luckily, NAND capacity hasn't been completely absorbed, because there are more companies supplying the stuff. But it's not exactly hard to see that SSDs have been growing steadily more expensive over the last six months or so.

Labradoodle Ollie was nietsvermoedend in het park aan het ravotten tot het noodlot toesloeg. Zijn baasje deed alsof hij een bal heel ver weg gooide en de naïeve Ollie trapte daar volledig in. Alsof dat tafereel al niet gênant genoeg was, gebeurde dit ook allemaal onder het toeziend oog van vijf loopse pomeriaantjes uit een gegoed milieu.
“Toen ik doorhad dat er helemaal geen bal was, ben ik maar gewoon blijven rennen”, biecht een zichtbaar aangeslagen Ollie op. “Uiteindelijk zag ik een boom en deed ik maar alsof ik daarheen rende. Alsof het al die tijd al mijn bedoeling was om aan deze specifieke eik te snuffelen. Terwijl: ik had die boom alláng besnuffeld. Ik had daar niets meer te zoeken, maar ik panikeerde. Ook een hond in het nauw maakt rare sprongen.”
De vijf toekijkende pomeriaantjes trapten echter niet in het rookgordijn dat Ollie probeerde op te werpen. Volgens hen was het voorval ‘cringe’ en is Ollie ‘geen dekhond material’.

Spanje controleert 200 reizigers uit Italië als vergelding voor Italiaanse controles na crisis Ceuta
Een man van 19 uit Stede Broec is overleden aan de verwondingen die hij afgelopen donderdag opliep na een massale vechtpartij aan de Prunuslaan in Enkhuizen. Een man van 60, die ook gewond was geraakt, is inmiddels weer uit het ziekenhuis ontslagen. De politie had eerder een man van 50 aangehouden en was na de steekpartij op zoek naar een "man, 25 jaar, licht getinte huidskleur, donker haar, baardje, wit shirt, zwarte korte broek en witte sneakers". Die heeft zich zaterdagavond gemeld en blijkt 20 jaar oud te zijn en uit Enkhuizen te komen. Hij is ook aangehouden. Djiezes.
