US news site Axios accused Cuba of planning to attack US targets with Iranian and Russian drones.

From GERMANY- British journalist and author Carole Cadwalladr discusses the relationship between Trump and what she named the Broligarchy, tech executives who travelled to China with him. Carole believes the surveillance state is a danger to freedom, and it is owned by the people who put anti-democratic populists in office. She talks about why the EU is trying hard to curb the power, which she says is beyond what the Stasi took in East Germany. She and 5 other women journalists quit working for the Guardian and formed a micro-news organization the Nerve.news. She is also available on Substack..
