Israeli authorities have begun detaining hundreds of activists seized from a Gaza-bound flotilla at the southern port of Ashdod on Wednesday, a rights group said, after Israeli forces intercepted their vessels at sea. The Global Sumud Flotilla set sail from Turkey last week in the latest attempt by activists to breach Israel's blockade of the Palestinian territory, after Israeli forces intercepted a previous convoy last month.Israeli authorities said 430 activists aboard the flotilla were en route to Israel, while rights group Adalah said some had already arrived at Ashdod port and were being held there.’Having set sail toward Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid and challenge the unlawful blockade, these civilian participants were forcefully abducted from international waters and taken into Israeli territory entirely against their will,’ Adalah said.’These acts are a direct extension of Israel's policies of collective punishment and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.’Around 50 ships had departed from southwestern Turkey on Thursday. Nine Indonesian citizens who were part of the flotilla ‘have all been reported arrested by Israel,’ a spokeswoman for Indonesia's foreign ministry said, citing information dated Wednesday.Indonesia called on Israel to immediately release all vessels and crew members, adding that ‘every diplomatic channel and consular measure will continue to be fully utilised’.Indonesian newspaper Republika earlier said two of its journalists were among the nine Indonesians detained. Turkey and Spain have condemned the interception.Organisers said the flotilla also included 15 Irish citizens, including Margaret Connolly, sister of President Catherine Connolly. Source link
Police outside the Islamic Centre of San Diego the morning following a shooting, in San Diego, California, U.S, May 19, 2026. REUTERS/ Mike Blake “Anti-Islamic writings” were found in a vehicle connected to the two teenage suspects in Monday’s shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego that killed three people, according to a Department of Justice official with knowledge of the investigation. The alleged gunmen have been identified as Caleb Vasquez, 18, and Cain Clark, 17, the official told Reuters. They were found dead in their car after the shooting, apparently from self-inflicted gunshot wounds, police said on Monday. Their names and the contents of the writings were previously reported by local media. Police said on Monday that the attack was being investigated as a hate crime but declined to offer further details about a possible motive. Clark’s mother is co-operating with authorities, the DOJ official added. Officers sprang into action on Monday after a call from one of the boy’s mothers, who described her son as suicidal and said he had run off with three of her guns and her vehicle, according to police. Police initially raced to a local shopping mall and the boy’s school before calls came in about the shooting at the mosque. The Islamic Center is the largest mosque in San Diego County and houses the Bright Horizon Academy. All students were safe and accounted for after Monday’s attack. A fundraising effort organised by CAIR San Diego with the Islamic Center of San Diego has raised over $1.7mn for the family of slain security guard Amin Abdullah, who authorities have credited with preventing further bloodshed. Police converged on Monday night on a property believed to be connected to one of the suspects and sealed off the quiet residential street on which it sat. By yesterday morning, the police tape was gone and neighbours milled around. The house was known for its Halloween decorations, they told Reuters, but they hadn’t known the family personally. There was a monster truck in the driveway but no one appeared to be home. “We walk past this house every day, every morning. This is our neighbourhood,” said Jessica Delapena, 54. “It’s shocking.”Mary Ryan, 65, said she was “at a loss for words.” San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria said in an interview with CNN yesterday that security would be beefed up across the city.“There’s always a concern about other sick and twisted individuals who will take inspiration from this tragedy and try and replicate,” he said. “No expense will be spared in protecting the people of this city.” Related…

After finishing second for the past three seasons, Mikel Arteta’s Gunners have finally made it over the line to end a six-year trophy drought. (Reuters) Arsenal ended their 22-year wait to be crowned Premier League champions on Tuesday after Manchester City were held 1-1 by Bournemouth.City had to win to take the title fight to the final day, but the Cherries extended their unbeaten streak to 17 league games, a run which has secured European football for the first time in the club’s history. After finishing second for the past three seasons, Mikel Arteta’s Gunners have finally made it over the line to end a six-year trophy drought.Arsenal edged to the brink of the title with an unconvincing 1-0 win over already relegated Burnley on Monday, which took them five points clear of City. The Gunners, who have set the pace for most of the season, have bounced back impressively since losing to City last month, winning four straight league matches without conceding a goal. On Monday, just 48 hours after completing a domestic cup double with victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup final, City were rocked by widespread reports that manager Pep Guardiola will depart after a decade in charge at the end of the season. Victory at Wembley on Saturday secured a 20th trophy of Guardiola’s glorious reign. But he cannot add to his six Premier League titles when Aston Villa visit the Etihad on Sunday for what is expected to be his final match in charge. Guardiola had warned that fatigue could cost City against a highly motivated Bournemouth, who still have Champions League qualification in their sights for next season. As it stands, Bournemouth will be in the Europa League after ensuring they will finish no lower than seventh. Sixth could be good enough for a place in the Champions League if Aston Villa finish fifth and win Wednesday’s Europa League final. City fans forlornly chanted “One more year, Guardiola” in the early stages at the Vitality Stadium in a bid to convince their decorated coach to see out the final season of his contract. But if the travelling fans hoped City’s players would be inspired to give Guardiola a glorious goodbye, they were left sorely disappointed. Antoine Semenyo had the ball in the net on his return to Bournemouth but was flagged offside in City’s best moment of a flat first half. The home side suddenly sprang to life to open the scoring in the 39th minute. Eli Junior Kroupi curled a brilliant strike into the top corner to set a new record of 13 goals in a debut Premier League season for a teenager. Nico O’Reilly wasted City’s best chance of a lifeline when he was denied by Djordje Petrovic just seconds into the second half. Guardiola watched on pensively as his side’s title challenge fizzled out with a whimper. After winning what was billed a title decider against Arsenal last month, City put the destiny of the title back in their rivals’ hands by drawing 3-3 at Everton. Guardiola looks set to depart having failed to win the league for two consecutive seasons for the first time in his coaching career. Rayan and David Brooks hit the post as Bournemouth should have secured victory in Andoni Iraola’s final home game in charge. Erling Haaland’s equaliser deep into stoppage time came too little, too late to save City’s title challenge. But it was a big goal for Liverpool, who now have a three-point cushion over Bournemouth and a goal difference advantage of six heading into the final day battle to secure a top-five finish and Champions League football.…

Southampton have been kicked out of the Championship playoffs after being found guilty of spying on semi-final opponents Middlesbrough, the English Football League said on Tuesday.Middlesbrough, who lost 2-1 to Southampton in the two-legged semi-final, have been re-instated and will now face Hull City on Saturday in what is dubbed the world’s richest football match.Promotion to the Premier League is estimated to be worth in the region of 200 million pounds ($268.10 million) over three seasons.

They have also been deducted four points for the start of next season in England’s second tier.”An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Championship play-offs after the club admitted multiple breaches of EFL regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other clubs’ training,” the EFL said.”Southampton admitted breaches of Regulations requiring Clubs to act with the utmost good faith and prohibiting the observation of another Club’s training session within 72 hours of a scheduled match. The effect of today’s order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 play-offs and will proceed to the play-off final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kickoff time to be confirmed.”The EFL confirmed that Southampton could appeal against the decision and that “parties are working to try and resolve any appeal on May 20. “Subject to the outcome, it could result in a further change to Saturday’s fixture,” the statement said.Middlesbrough had called for Southampton’s expulsion after having a training session filmed ahead of the first leg of their playoff semi-final with Southampton which ended 0-0.The club said it welcomed the decision. “We believe this sends out a clear message for the future of our game regarding sporting integrity and conduct,” Middlesbrough said in a statement. “As a club, we are now focused on our game against Hull City at Wembley on Saturday.”Southampton were relegated from the Premier League last season and were struggling in the early part of this campaign until a storming finish in which they went unbeaten in 19 league games to finish fourth and enter the playoffs.
