The Assassination of JFK
Expert: No Bombings in the Secret JFK Files
At midnight, Swedish time, a number of previously classified documents linked to the assassination of US President John F Kennedy were released. The vast majority of the material has already been made public, but according to CNN, 1,123 new documents have been released.
It will take researchers some time to go through the new material, which is only numbered but otherwise has no descriptions. At the same time, there is no indication that the files will contain any bombings that change the picture of the assassination or the murderer, according to Tom Samoluk, who led the government panel formed in the 1990s to study documents related to the assassination. Based on what he has seen, there is nothing that changes the conclusion that Kennedy's assassin was Lee Harvey Oswald.
– If there is something there that gets to the heart of the murder, we would have released it in the mid-90s, so I have a feeling what kind of document it is, he tells CNN.
Stranded astronauts
“Seeing a space capsule full of smiles, from ear to ear”
After being stuck in space for nine months, astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore returned to Earth late Tuesday night.
– What a trip. I see a space capsule full of smiles, from ear to ear, says astronaut Nick Hauge, who was commander of the rescue mission, seconds after the Space X vehicle landed in the ocean off Florida.
During the night, Nasa held a press conference. Steve Stich, one of Nasa's managers, stated that Williams and Wilmore are doing well, but will be examined before continuing on to the mainland. After a reconciliation, they will be given some “well-deserved time off,” Stich states according to the BBC.
Tomorrow they are expected to see their families again.
– I am sure their reunion will be amazing.

The war on the media
Radio Free Europe sues Trump administration
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty are suing Donald Trump's administration over the decision to withdraw federal funding for the media channels, Axios reports.
In the lawsuit, which was filed on Tuesday, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty argue that the White House's decision goes against Congress and is therefore a violation of federal law.
The media channels' CEO Stephen Capus says in a statement that this is not the time to give in to propaganda and censorship.
– We believe that we have the law on our side and that despots around the world are celebrating our downfall too soon, he says.
The decision to shut down the US-backed channels was made over the weekend. According to the White House, they spread “radical propaganda” and the employees are alleged to have a deep-rooted leftist bias.
The flight to Europe
Six migrants dead and 40 missing in the Mediterranean
Six people have died and 40 are missing after a boat sank off the Italian island of Lampedusa in the Mediterranean, reports Italian Rai.
So far, ten people have been rescued by the Italian coast guard. Survivors of the sinking say that 56 migrants fell overboard due to bad weather. They traveled from Tunisia in a rubber dinghy.
“Too many are still dying in shipwrecks in the Mediterranean,” writes UNHCR representative Chiara Cardoletti on X.
