The European Commission found the treatment of the Gaza flotilla activists shown in a video released by Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is “completely unacceptable”, a spokesperson said on Wednesday.
“Every detained person must be treated with safety, dignity and according to international law,” spokesperson Anouar El Anouni said in a post on X. “We call on the Israeli government to ensure the protection and dignified treatment of these activists, including several EU citizens,” he added.
Israeli police forced activists who were aboard a Gaza-bound aid flotilla to kneel on the ground in rows with their hands tied behind their backs while Ben-Gvir looked on, drawing criticism from foreign leaders and even from inside Israel’s own government.
The activists were detained after their flotilla was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters on Tuesday and later taken to an Israeli port.

The indictment against Castro, returned in federal court in Miami on April 23, charges him with one count of conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals, four counts of murder, and two counts of destruction of aircraft, court records show
International News via Reuters:
Former Cuban President Raul Castro has been indicted in the United States on murder charges, court records showed on Wednesday, in a major escalation in Washington’s pressure campaign against the island’s communist government.
The indictment against Castro, returned in federal court in Miami on April 23, charges him with one count of conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals, four counts of murder, and two counts of destruction of aircraft, court records show. Five other people are also named as defendants in the case.
The charges stemmed from a 1996 incident in which Cuban jets shot down planes operated by a group of Cuban exiles, U.S. acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said at an event in downtown Miami on Wednesday to honor victims of the incident.
“My message today is clear: The United States and President Trump does not and will not forget its citizens,” Blanche said to applause in a packed auditorium of government officials and Cuban Americans in Miami.
Cuba’s foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Castro, 94, last appeared in public in Cuba earlier this month, and there is no evidence that he has since left the island or that the government would allow him to be extradited.
The indictment comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has pushed for a regime change in Cuba, where Castro’s communists have been in charge since his late brother Fidel Castro led a revolution in 1959.
Trump in a statement earlier on Wednesday called Cuba a “rogue state harboring hostile foreign military” and framed his administration’s actions regarding the Caribbean island as part of a broader effort to expand U.S. influence in the Western Hemisphere.
“From the shores of Havana to the banks of the Panama Canal, we will drive out the forces of lawlessness and crime and foreign encroachment,” Trump said at a Coast Guard Academy event in New London, Connecticut.
Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said on Monday that the island does not represent a threat.
The indictment marks a new low in relations between the longtime Cold War rivals.
After taking power, Fidel Castro struck an alliance with the Soviet Union, then seized U.S.-owned businesses and properties. The U.S. has since maintained an economic embargo on the nation of about 10 million.
The two sides have talked intermittently over the years. Diplomatic relations briefly improved during former Democratic President Barack Obama’s second term, but Trump, a Republican, has taken a harder line.
RUBIO OFFERS $100 MILLION IN AID
Members of Miami’s large Cuban American community gathered outside the city’s Freedom Tower ahead of the ceremony.
“We all hoped for a long time, for many years that this would happen,” said Bobby Ramirez, a 62-year-old musician who left Cuba in 1971 when he was seven years old.
The ceremony is taking place on the anniversary of the end of a four-year U.S. military occupation of Cuba on May 20, 1902, which itself followed centuries of Spanish colonial rule. Cuba’s government does not consider the date to mark the country’s independence day, arguing that it remained subservient to Washington until the 1959 revolution.
In a post on X, Diaz-Canel said that in Cuban history, May 20 signified “intervention, interference, dispossession, frustration.”
Under Trump, the U.S. has effectively imposed a blockade on Cuba by threatening sanctions on countries supplying it with fuel, triggering power outages and exacerbating its worst crisis in decades.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio earlier on Wednesday offered Cuba $100 million in aid, and blamed Cuba’s leaders for shortages of electricity, food and fuel. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez called that offer cynical, citing the “devastating effect” of the economic blockade.
TRUMP HAS SAID CUBA ‘IS NEXT’
Born in 1931, Raul Castro was a key figure alongside his older brother in the guerrilla war that toppled U.S.-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista.
He helped defeat the U.S.-organized Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, and served as defense minister for decades. He succeeded his brother as president in 2008 and stepped down in 2018, but remains a powerful behind-the-scenes figure in Cuban politics.
He was defense minister at the time of the 1996 incident.
The two small planes that were shot down were being flown by Brothers to the Rescue, a group of Miami-based Cuban exile pilots who said their mission was to search for Cuban rafters fleeing the island.
All four men aboard were killed. Portraits of the four were displayed behind Blanche as he spoke in Miami’s Freedom Tower, which served as a refugee center for Cubans in the 1960s.
The Cuban government has argued the strike was a legitimate response to the planes intruding on Cuban airspace. Fidel Castro said Cuba’s military had acted on “standing orders” to down planes entering Cuban airspace. He said Raul Castro did not give a specific order to shoot the planes.
The U.S. condemned the attack and imposed sanctions. The Justice Department charged three Cuban military officers in 2003 but they were never extradited.
The International Civil Aviation Organization later concluded the shootdown took place over international waters.
The filing of the criminal case against a U.S. adversary like Castro recalls the earlier drug-trafficking indictment of imprisoned former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, an ally of Havana’s.
The Trump administration cited that indictment as a justification for the January 3 raid on Caracas by the U.S. military in which Maduro was captured and brought to New York to face the charges. He has pleaded not guilty.
Trump in March threatened that Cuba “is next” after Venezuela. Diaz-Canel said on Monday that any U.S. military action against Cuba would lead to a “bloodbath.”

Eight fatalities so far this year exceeds the statistical norm
Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police, Arthur Glasford, Operations – “The Bermuda Police Service (BPS) is deeply saddened by the three recent road fatalities and by the fact that eight people have lost their lives on our roads in the past five months, a figure that surpasses the statistical norm for our island.
On behalf of the Service, I extend our sincere condolences to the families and friends of the deceased and to all those affected by these tragic events.
We make a direct and urgent appeal to all road users to exercise greater caution, slow down, and obey posted speed limits. Drive to the conditions — reduce speed in poor weather, on narrow roads, and in areas with pedestrians.
Avoid distractions — place mobile phones out of reach and keep your full attention on the road. Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs; plan alternative transport if you will be drinking.
With the Bermuda Day Holiday period upon us, I wish to make it clear that the BPS will be conducting previously scheduled roadside sobriety checkpoints across the island from Thursday, 21st May at 5:00pm until Sunday, 24th May at 4:00am, and will maintain a visible presence island wide.
These measures are intended to deter dangerous behaviour and to keep everyone safe while travelling.
Small changes in behaviour save lives. The BPS remains committed to working with partners and the community to make our roads safer for everyone.”
China dominates critical mineral supply chains and sets prices through opaque domestic markets
International News via Reuters:
Europe must build its own pricing system for specialty metals and rare earths to reduce reliance on China and unlock investment in mining and processing, industry expert Bernd Schaefer of the EIT told Reuters on Wednesday.
China dominates critical mineral supply chains and sets prices through opaque domestic markets, leaving Western developers without clear benchmarks, complicating investment decisions and delaying already higher-cost projects in Europe.
The EU has a target to mine at least 10% of its annual requirements of strategic raw materials by 2030 and rely on a single third country for no more than 65% of its annual needs.
EIT RawMaterials, an agency partly funded by the EU, is collaborating with digital platform Metalshub, it said last month, to create a European index to foster innovation in new minerals mining, refining and recycling projects in the bloc.
Schaefer said it would, however, take time to create an index with representative prices. The index would aim to provide transparent, market-based price benchmarks for critical minerals traded outside China, giving investors clearer signals on profitability and helping underpin financing for new projects.
“My understanding is that this would require trading a volume of a minimum 10% of the traded volume (non-China)…depending on the raw materials,” Schaefer said. “What we are getting from China is neither representative nor, in strict microeconomic terms, a price,” Schaefer said.
Schaefer said an index could be broader than just Europe, with collaboration from other traders, such as in the United States, Australia, Canada or Britain.
It was difficult to say whether the EU would meet its critical mineral diversification goals due to a lack of transparent data on volumes and growth expectations, he said.
The EU announced its 3 billion euro RESourceEU action plan in December to speed up diversification of the bloc’s supply chains and reduce its overreliance on China.
Concrete action has been slow with the exception of a pilot joint EU stockpile led by Italy, France and Germany. The countries have shortlisted metals including tungsten and gallium as the first to go into storage.
Without building domestic processing and transparent pricing, Europe risks remaining dependent on Chinese benchmarks — and seeing any new raw material output flow straight back into China’s supply chain, Schaefer said.

Vermont-based Beyond Plastics attached location trackers to 36 single-use polypropylene cups earlier this year and placed them in recycling bins inside Starbucks’ cafes across the country

International News via Reuters:
Starbucks’ plastic single-use cups it often serves in U.S. cafes are not as recyclable as the company claims, an environmental nonprofit group said on Wednesday.
Vermont-based Beyond Plastics attached location trackers to 36 single-use polypropylene cups earlier this year and placed them in recycling bins inside Starbucks’ cafes across the country. None of the cups were tracked to a recycling facility, the group said. Instead, 33 ended up in landfills, incinerators, or on their way to either. Three were last seen in sorting facilities.
The cups prominently feature a recycling icon and are depicted as recyclable on in-store recycling bins. Starbucks in February announced that its polypropylene cups were considered “widely recyclable” in the United States following a designation from a labeling group, How2Recycle.
A Starbucks spokesperson said on Wednesday that the company questioned the methodology of Beyond Plastics’ study, though she did not provide details.
Industry groups including the Association of Plastic Recyclers, which represents mechanical recyclers, say the tracking devices themselves may cause discarded items to be diverted from recycling streams. The Starbucks spokesperson said recycling depends on local infrastructure, which, she said, is “why we work closely with others, including the recycling companies, to help expand access and help improve the system.”
Starbucks in 2020 committed to making 100% of its customer packaging reusable, recyclable or compostable by the end of the decade. In 2024, Starbucks allowed U.S. customers to provide their own cup for mobile and drive-through orders. Under CEO Brian Niccol, the company’s policy is to serve in-store customers with reusable ceramic mugs, though Beyond Plastics said many in-store customers are still given plastic cups.
Judith Enck, Beyond Plastics’ president and a former Environmental Protection Agency official, said the group is urging Starbucks to stop calling its plastic cups recyclable, and also to completely switch to fiber-based cups, as the company has done in some markets. If such a switch were made, “it would be one of the most significant plastic-reduction corporate policies in the world,” she said.
The Iran war has driven up prices worldwide for plastics, which are made from oil or natural gas, Reuters reported in April.
Beyond Plastics said the U.S. recycling rate for plastics is under 6%, and most is not polypropylene plastic, which the group said has few processing facilities equipped to recycle it.

“For too long, vital infrastructure delivery has been delayed by judicial reviews of projects,” a Treasury spokesperson said in a statement
International News via Reuters:
Britain’s finance minister Rachel Reeves is expected to unveil reforms giving parliament the authority to approve critical energy and infrastructure projects and better protect them from judicial reviews, the Treasury said on Wednesday.
“For too long, vital infrastructure delivery has been delayed by judicial reviews of projects,” a Treasury spokesperson said in a statement.
“She (Reeves) is clear that parliament must take back control to get Britain building the power plants, wind farms and grid connections that will bring bills down, strengthen our energy security, and deliver growth in every part of our country.”
Officers appeal for witnesses after a man was seen leaving the vessel near Barr’s Bay Park
Bermuda Police Service (BPS) inquiries continue regarding a suspicious boat fire that occurred around 12:30am Monday, 30th March 2026.

Nearly 10 months since that framework accord, the European Parliament and the Council, the body representing EU governments, agreed on a legislative text to allow the EU duty reductions to come into force
International News via Reuters:
The European Union struck a provisional agreement on Wednesday on legislation to remove import duties on U.S. goods, a key part of a trade deal reached with Washington in July and a move likely to avert higher U.S. tariffs on EU products.
Under the deal struck at U.S. President Donald Trump’s Turnberry golf resort in Scotland last July, the EU agreed to remove import duties on U.S. industrial goods and grant preferential access to U.S. farm and seafood products, while the U.S. imposes tariffs of 15% on most EU goods.
Nearly 10 months since that framework accord, the European Parliament and the Council, the body representing EU governments, agreed on a legislative text to allow the EU duty reductions to come into force.
After five hours of negotiations, they also agreed reinforced provisions to suspend the concessions in case Trump reneges on the agreement and a sunset clause to terminate the deal at the end of 2029 unless there is new legislation to renew it.
US ambassador to the EU Andrew Puzder congratulated the bloc on the deal.
“We are encouraged by the progress this step represents (while we will review the details closely),” he said in a post on X.
The internal EU deal should bring some calm to the world’s largest trading relationship, with an annual exchange of $2 trillion in goods and services, coming a week after Trump’s visit to China that had warm words but no major breakthroughs. The EU has relied on the U.S. to take in some 20% of its goods exports, but Trump is determined through tariffs to reduce the goods trade deficit with the bloc of more than $200 billion.
“I am proud to announce that Europe has avoided a damaging escalation of transatlantic trade tensions and protected European companies, investments and millions of jobs on both sides of the Atlantic,” Zeljana Zovko, the lead trade negotiator in the European People’s Party on the U.S. deal, said in an X post.
“The EU walks the talk, while defending our interests. Once approved, it’ll boost transatlantic stability and cooperation,” European Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic wrote on X.
The American Chamber of Commerce in the EU said it was relieved to see the agreement, saying it was a critical step for businesses that rely on stable transatlantic trading and investment relations. SpiritsEurope was also positive, saying it would ensure greater stability and predictability. German Economy Minister Katherina Reiche said it provided planning certainty for businesses.
TRUMP SET JULY 4 DEADLINE
Trump has said he would impose much higher tariffs on EU goods including cars if the EU did not implement its trade deal commitments by July 4, having earlier threatened to raise tariffs on EU car imports to 25% from the current 15%.
EU lawmakers had twice paused the required legislation after Trump’s threats to impose new tariffs on European allies who did not back his proposed acquisition of Greenland and after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down his global tariffs.
The bloc should now meet Trump’s July 4 deadline, with a final vote of approval in the European Parliament expected in mid-June. Bernd Lange, the chair of parliament’s trade committee, expressed confidence that lawmakers would vote in favour, saying the agreement ensured a safety net for dealing with an unpredictable U.S. administration.
EU lawmakers had wanted tougher guarantees, but the two sides did not accept their proposed “sunrise clause” under which the EU would only cut duties when the U.S. fulfilled its side of the deal and the “sunset clause” was pushed from the end of March 2028 to the end of 2029.
The European Commission can also suspend tariff preferences by the end of this year if the U.S. keeps in place tariffs higher than 15% on steel and aluminium “derivative” products like wind turbines and refrigerators.
EU governments had had less appetite for inserting such items, concerned they could antagonise the Trump administration and create uncertainty for EU businesses.

The cut of 5 pence per litre had been due to expire in September but the government said it would extend it after the Iran war caused global oil prices to leap
International News via Reuters:
Britain will extend a cut in motor fuel duty until the end of the year, the government said on Wednesday, as it seeks to ease cost-of-living pressures that have risen due the Middle East conflict.
The cut of 5 pence per litre had been due to expire in September but the government said it would extend it after the Iran war caused global oil prices to leap.
“I know many are feeling the pressure of energy and fuel costs, and are worried about how the conflict in Iran will affect their finances,” Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in the statement.
“That’s why this government is stepping in to keep fuel costs down for millions of drivers.”
Alongside the extension, the government announced a new 12-month holiday for road tax paid by hauliers which it said would save them up to £912 ($1,222.08) per vehicle. It also said it was cutting duty on red diesel for off-road use by over a third per litre to 6.48 pence, its lowest rate in over 20 years.
The 5p fuel duty cut was introduced in 2022 and has now been extended five times under successive governments. It was supposed to last 12 months which would have cost £2.4 billion, according to government estimates released in January.
Fuel duty raised £24 billion for the public coffers in the last financial year.
It was not immediately clear how much the latest extension would cost.
Britain has also kept the level of fuel duty unchanged since 2011 as governments sought to protect drivers from higher costs.
The new measures come days after the International Monetary Fund said any energy subsidies should be targeted and temporary, and urged the government to consider broadening the base of value-added tax and reforming property tax over the longer term.

The prestigious College Open Eastern National Semifinals are officially underway, with South Florida playing host to a fiercely competitive 420 Fleet. Sailors from across the region have descended upon the coast, battling tricky conditions for a coveted spot in the national finals.
Among the fleet, a handful of familiar names are making waves, experiencing contrasting fortunes over the opening exchanges of the regatta.
It has been a stellar start for Christian Ebbin and the Tulane University team. Displaying tactical maturity and consistent speed, Tulane sits comfortably in fourth place overall in the team standings, accumulating just 44 points to keep themselves firmly in the hunt for the podium. Ebbin has been central to that success, taking the helm of the Tulane ‘B’ boat. Competing in a relentless B Division, Ebbin navigated the crowded start lines brilliantly to leave the boat occupying eighth place in the division with 16 points, providing a massive boost to Tulane’s silverware aspirations.
Further down the leaderboard, it proved to be a testing opening day for PJ Rodrigues and Jordan Vieira, who are representing Eckerd College. The duo’s combined efforts leave Eckerd sitting in 16th place overall on a total of 79 points, leaving them with plenty of work to do in the upcoming sessions. Rodrigues took on the challenge of the highly competitive A Division boat for Eckerd. It was a grueling shift on the water, and Rodrigues ultimately came off the waves with the boat positioned 17th in the division on 58 points.
Meanwhile, teammate Vieira spearheaded the Eckerd ‘B’ boat campaign. Vieira enjoyed a slightly more fruitful run in the B Division, finding cleaner air to secure 15th place in the division with 28 points. With more racing on the horizon in South Florida, Eckerd will look to unlock more pace in the 420 Fleet, while Ebbin and Tulane will be desperate to consolidate their top-five status.
