I'm grateful that the BBC Sounds app, unlike iPlayer, has been available in foreign countries. I've enjoyed brilliant documentaries, audiobooks and dramas through it. I've been working my way systematically through the full Drama on 4 archive. So good - the writing, acting and immersive audio! Now I've learnt BBC Sounds will no longer be available outside the UK after July 21st. Am mentioning in case anyone else, like me, wants to binge their backlog before it shuts.

El Salvador offers Venezuela prisoner swap involving US deportees

El Salvador's president has offered to repatriate 252 Venezuelans deported by the US and imprisoned in his country - if Venezuela releases the same number of political prisoners.
Nayib Bukele appealed directly to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a post on social media.
He said many of the Venezuelan deportees had committed "rape and murder", while Venezuelan political prisoners were jailed only because they opposed Maduro, whose re-election last year is widely disputed.

Republican rebels try to stop Trump's Canada tariffs

Four Republican US senators have broken ranks and voted with the Democrats in an effort to block President Donald Trump's tariffs against Canada. In a rare display of opposition to the president, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul and Susan Collins helped to vote through a resolution 51 to 48 to end Trump's emergency declaration on fentanyl trafficking that he has used to justify tariffs on Canadian imports.

UK demands access to Apple users' encrypted data

The UK government has demanded to be able to access encrypted data stored by Apple users worldwide in its cloud service. Currently only the Apple account holder can access data stored in this way - the tech giant itself cannot view it. The demand has been served by the Home Office under the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA), which compels firms to provide information to law enforcement agencies.

Footage shows NY officers beating prisoner before death

Newly released bodycam footage appears to show New York corrections officers fatally beating a handcuffed inmate who died the following morning. The inmate, 43-year-old Robert Brooks, was pronounced dead on 10 December, the day after the incident took place at the Marcy Correctional Facility in upstate New York.

Following an internal review, New York Governor Kathy Hochul ordered the firing of the 13 officers and a prison nurse who were involved in the assault. The office of New York Attorney General Letitia James has opened an investigation into Brooks' death, and the union that represents state prison workers called the video "incomprehensible".

This is a large scale Conspiracy Within the NY Corrections system.

FBI informant who lied about Biden 'bribes' pleads guilty

A former informant has pleaded guilty to lying to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about a fake bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Alexander Smirnov, 44, also admitted tax evasion after not reporting more than $2m (£1.58m) in income.

His claims became the basis of an impeachment investigation in Congress which centred around the false claims that the Bidens made millions in bribes from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.

But Smirnov admitted he made the story up, and pleaded guilty in Los Angeles on Monday as part of an agreement with prosecutors.

US accuses Russia of 2024 election interference

RT boss Margarita Simonyan was one of 10 people sanctioned for alleged attempts to harm "public trust in our institutions".

Attorney General Merrick Garland accused state broadcaster RT, formerly Russia Today, of paying a Tennessee firm $10m to "create and distribute content to US audiences with hidden Russian government messaging".

"Three things are certain in life: death, taxes and RT's interference in the US elections."

A Bugatti car, a first lady and the fake stories aimed at Americans

A network of Russia-based websites masquerading as local American newspapers is pumping out fake stories as part of an AI-powered operation that is increasingly targeting the US election, a BBC investigation can reveal. A former Florida police officer who relocated to Moscow is one of the key figures behind it.

John Mark Dougan, a former US Marine who worked as a police officer in Florida and Maine in the 2000s.

There it is: Germany's second big public broadcaster is teasing, that it will start posting on #Mastodon tomorrow as @ZDF That account has 3200 follower, on #Twitter its 1,4 million.

I'm sure it will start to grow quickly and get a headstart on the other big public broadcaster #ARD, which has labeled its first account a test (@NDR).

Of course it would also be a headstart on the big public broadcasters, that are arguing with #Twitter.

While #NPR and #PBS have quit #Twitter (without mentioning #Mastodon however), Germany's biggest public broadcaster #ARD and #ZDF are not only already testing their own instances for quite a while (dev.ard.social/public/local & zdf.social/public/local): The first proper account is now live and posts news articles from northern Germany – @NDR

Let's see, if NPR and PBS find their way here. Oh and where is the #BBC?
