Police are focusing on Elisabeth-Jane Ross’s final hours in hope of discovering motive for her killing

Greek authorities are investigating what may have motivated a 26-year-old Afghan man to kill a Scottish charity worker found dead in a suitcase in an abandoned building in Athens last month.

Inquiries have focused increasingly on Elisabeth-Jane Ross’s last few hours alive and police believe they hold the key to revealing why the 38-year-old was targeted.

‘Disturbing’ footage shared by California detainee surfaces amid wider complaints about conditions in ICE detention

Attorneys for a man detained in a California immigration detention center have released footage showing him holding up a bottle of water from inside the facility that appeared to be contaminated with worm-like creatures.

The footage came from a video call with Carlitos Ricardo Parias, a Los Angeles man who has been detained for months at the Adelanto Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility, north-east of LA.

Federal prosecutors moved to drop their case against David Hearn, blaming Reflecting Pool damage on a "botched installation" rather than vandalism. That has implications for others who were charged.

Помню свое первое впечатление от знакомства с vi - случайно запущенный по неосторожности на сервере редактор оказался ловушкой: попробуй-ка выйти!
Знакомые по DOS/Windows-редакторам кнопки не работают, ужас, кошмар, плохой vi! И зачем он такой нужен?!
Но стало интересно, зачем же.

К счастью, если запустить vim без аргументов, без редактируемого файла - первое же, что он пишет - предложение почитать документацию, буквально RTFM.
Почитал, попробовал, понял - и вот уже много лет с тех пор не понимаю, как можно пользоваться другими, совершенно неудобными редакторами...
(даже не буду пытаться описывать все возможности - их слишком много, и постоянно до сих пор всплывает что-то новое и удобное)

They are the first reported deaths linked to a massive outbreak of the intestinal illness that began in May.

Acting Atty. Gen. Todd Blanche issued a formal order terminating President Trump's $1.8-billion "anti-weaponization fund" to compensate his political allies.

For years, many Cubans hoping to leave the island looked to the United States. Now, with legal pathways largely closed, a growing number are heading to Brazil instead.

Привет Хабр! Продолжаю серию обзоров про мини‑ПК, которые я пробую сделать подобием Steam Machine. Следующий мини‑ПК от российской компании Yadro. Получилось у меня купить его практически сразу после выхода в свободную продажу. Позиционируется это устройство преимущественно как мини‑ПК для B2B‑ и B2G‑сегмента, однако я решил попробовать использовать его в околоигровом сценарии. В предыдущий раз я обозревал мини‑ПК TECNO, ну что же, посмотрим, как себя поведёт KVADRA TAU mini в корпусе Ultra Small. Кстати, планшетом KVADRA_T я до сих пор пользуюсь, и почти никаких нареканий к нему нет. Так что рад потрогать что‑то не мобильного формата от KVADRA. Приятного чтения!

Restore leader has countered charges he’s splitting the right while showing his party is a very real obstacle for Reform

Even by the standards of their rivalry, the speed at which Rupert Lowe’s olive branch to Nigel Farage morphed into fresh recriminations between the two was swift.

It began with a softly lit 12-minute video posted on Sunday by the Restore Britain leader, looking straight to camera and referring to “Nigel” as he suggested his party could be willing to cast aside its differences with Reform UK and work together.

Joshua Bonehill-Paine, creator of satirical Crewkerne Gazette, has convictions including for harassing a Jewish MP

A former neo-Nazi activist with convictions including for harassing a Jewish MP has been selected as a Conservative candidate for a local election in Somerset.

Joshua Bonehill-Paine, the creator of the viral Crewkerne Gazette series of AI clips, is due to stand for election to Somerset council next year in a new Crewkerne South district. He told the Guardian he was an executive member of the Tories’ Yeovil branch, working as an events organiser.

Hundreds of structures damaged as firefighters battle to contain 15 major wildfires amid extreme heat and drought

Firefighters in Washington state are battling wildfires that have forced 60,000 people to flee and destroyed hundreds of buildings as drought and extreme heat fuel an “extraordinary” fire season in the Pacific north-west.

Fifteen major blazes are raging across the state, David Upthegrove, the head of Washington’s department of natural resources, told reporters over the weekend.

US president reduced to bemoaning Tehran’s ‘unbelievable duplicity’ as he struggles to find solid negotiating ground

The Donald Trump doctrine has always contained a tenuous relationship with the truth. It was his mentor, the infamous New York lawyer Roy Cohn, who taught the young real estate mogul always to claim victory and never to admit defeat. Unfortunately for Trump, in Iran the US president has found a counterpart just as stubborn as himself.

As Trump claims new negotiations are to begin with Tehran this week, Iran has shown it can also reignite the conflict by lobbing ballistic missiles at US bases in the region and maintaining a stranglehold on the strait of Hormuz, effectively taking initiative in the stalled peace process. And time is of the essence for Trump as the clock ticks toward a global energy crisis and a painful midterm elections for him and his Republican party.

• Norwegian breaks clear in stage three to take overall lead

• Haugset: ‘I never thought it was possible, it’s unreal’

Sigrid Haugset, the Norwegian national champion, shocked the established order in the Tour de France Femmes, breaking away alone for 90km, to take the overall lead after winning stage three to Poligny.

“I never thought it was possible,” she said, after realising she had taken the biggest success of her career and the overall lead in the sport’s biggest race. “It’s unreal. I was so dizzy at the end. I know my boyfriend would be so angry at me for not celebrating, but I couldn’t. I could not lift my arms off the bike. It was impossible.”

The host tore into ‘wildly invasive’ cameras, microphones and license plate readers that police use to track Americans

John Oliver discussed the tools that police are using to keep track of Americans on the latest episode of Last Week Tonight.

In recent years, the use of surveillance technology has exploded among local police forces due to decreasing prices and federal funding, with one local mayor comparing modern systems to “Big Brother on steroids”.

John David Washington leads an exceptionally talented cast in a sleek off-Broadway thriller that feels a little dated

Making its US debut three years after its London premiere, Andrew Stein’s Disruption faces the typical battle of the topical play: even with the most expedient fast-track to production, works tackling current events are in danger of obsolescence upon arrival, often left at the mercy of the latest update, for better or worse. As far as plays dealing with AI go, New York got Ayad Akhtar’s McNeal in 2024, which condescended while saying next to nothing about ChatGPT plagiarism, and was marred, for me, by news of star Robert Downey Jr’s $100m Avengers payday. And earlier this year, the tech-industry moral quandary of Matthew Libby’s Data received bone-chilling boosts from unfolding reports of Palantir’s work with ICE.

Stein’s play has to do with the vast amounts of personal information we freely hand over to our tech overlords, and how it could be leveraged against us. It is well-constructed, briskly directed by Hersh Ellis, and with handsome scenic and costume designs by Zoë Hurwitz – both of whom also worked on its 2023 iteration. But aside from a late development that echoes last week’s jump-scare that an OpenAI tool went rogue, any insights it offers about our present moment are either naively outdated or mired in its overcomplicated web of characters. Charitably, one could chalk this up to the three years lapsed since its premiere; 30 lifetimes in cyberland. But lines like “Data’s the next frontier,” or “Technology has made us so connected to everything except ourselves,” would not have stood a chance in 2010.
