Trump ends aid to Colombia and calls country's leader a 'drug leader'

President Donald Trump has said the US will return two people who survived a strike on what he called a "drug-carrying submarine" to their countries of origin, Ecuador and Colombia.

Writing on social media, Trump said two other people were killed in the US strike on the vessel, which he said US intelligence confirmed was "loaded up with mostly Fentanyl, and other illegal narcotics".

The attack on Thursday is at least the sixth US strike on ships in the Caribbean Sea in recent weeks. It is the first time survivors have been reported.

At least 27 people were killed in the prior five boat strikes in the waters off Venezuela, according to figures released by the administration.

The two survivors were rescued by a US military helicopter and then shuttled onto a US warship in the Caribbean, unnamed US officials told US media earlier.

In recent weeks, Trump has ramped up threats against Venezuela's leadership over claims that the country is sending drugs to the US. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has accused Trump of trying to make the South American nation "an American colony".

Trump has defended the ongoing boat attacks, saying they are aimed at stemming the flow of drugs from Latin America into the US, but his government has not provided evidence or details about the identities of the vessels or those on board.

"It was my great honor to destroy a very large DRUG-CARRYING SUBMARINE that was navigating towards the United States on a well known narcotrafficking transit route," Trump said in his Truth Social post on Saturday.

"The two surviving terrorists are being returned to their Countries of origin, Ecuador and Colombia, for detention and prosecution."

He added that no US military personnel were injured in the attack.

On Friday, the US president had said the submarine targeting the latest attack was "built specifically for the transportation of massive amounts of drugs".

"This was not an innocent group of people. I don't know too many people who have submarines, and that was an attack on a drug-carrying, loaded submarine," he added.

UN-appointed human rights experts have described the US strikes as "extrajudicial executions".

Trump earlier told reporters that he had authorised the CIA to conduct covert operations in Venezuela, and that he was considering launching attacks on Venezuelan soil.

Narco-subs have become a popular way to transport drugs as they can go largely undetected, and can be sunk after delivery. They are often homemade and constructed using fibreglass and plywood.

The US, as well as other coastal nations, have previously intercepted some of these subs.

马达加斯加:新总统临危受命

19/10/2025 - 21:22

印度洋上的非洲岛国马达加斯加,肩负[重筑](refondation)重任的共和国新元首已于2025年10月17日星期五宣誓就职。本台法广(RFI)法语通讯员的报导提到,开通水电、打击腐败、给予年轻人更美好的愿景等等。。。都名列这位刚刚就职的新总统所需处理的紧急事务和所将面临的巨大挑战。

据本台法广非洲组(RFI Afrique)报导,马达加斯加民众对新总统迈克尔·兰德里亚尼里纳(Président Michael Randrianirina)有很高的期望。这位新任国家元首必须在“Z世代”的注视下继续前进。

-- 民生艰难 --

本台法广(RFI)法语通讯员Guilhem于2025年10月18日周六发自安塔那那利佛(Antananariv)的消息指出,在接受了马达加斯加首都民众的街头欢呼和雀跃后,新总统将应该寻求解决造成马达加斯加陷入困境的难题。几乎所有的信号呈红色。世界银行的记录显示,马达加斯加64%的民众仍未通电。在一些城镇中心区域,能源基础设施不仅已经老化,而且还不能满足所有需求。

同一报导说,约80%的马达加斯加人去年生活在贫困线以下。马达加斯加是过去几十年来世界上唯一一个没有爆发重大冲突,但却越来越陷入贫困的国家。这种贫困对Z世代造成重创。大学城污秽不堪(insalubre)、失业和工作不稳定是绝大多数学生和年轻工人的遭遇。据估计,每年大约有40万年轻人进入就业市场。

-- 社会期盼 --

本台法广(RFI Afrique)非洲组的报导还提到,在贪腐方面,马达加斯加在[透明国际](Transparency International)2024年180个国家腐败感知指数排名榜中列第140位。如今,马达加斯加新总统刚刚就职,还没有宣布改善民众生活条件的具体措施,但他承诺“与过去决裂”(une rupture avec le passé)。

Stolen treasures, a crown in the gutter - and serious questions for Louvre security

Authorities say the Empress Eugénie Brooch was among the stolen items

It is the most spectacular robbery at the Louvre museum since the Mona Lisa disappeared in 1911.

And it poses serious questions about levels of security covering French artworks, at a time when they are increasingly being targeted by criminal gangs.

According to France's new interior minister Laurent Nunez, the gang that broke into the Apollo Gallery Sunday morning was clearly professional.

They knew what they wanted, had evidently "cased the joint" in advance, had a brazenly simple but effective modus operandi, and needed no more than seven minutes to take their booty and get away.

In a truck equipped with an elevating platform of the type used by removal companies, they parked on the street outside, raised themselves up to the first floor, then used a disc-cutter to enter through a window.

Inside the richly decorated gallery they made for two display-cases which contain what remains of the French crown jewels.

Most of France's royal regalia was lost or sold after the 1789 Revolution, but some items were saved or bought back. Most of what was in the cases, though, dates from the 19th Century and the two imperial families of Napoleon and his nephew Napoleon III.

According to the authorities, eight items were taken including diadems, necklaces, ear-rings and brooches.

They had belonged to Napoleon's wife the empress Marie-Louise; to his sister-in-law Queen Hortense of Holland; to Queen Marie-Amelie, wife of France's last King Louis-Philippe, who ruled from 1830 to 1848; and to the empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III, who ruled from 1852 to 1870.

A crown of the empress Eugénie was left at the scene and is being examined to see if it is damaged.

In a statement the culture ministry said that the alarms had sounded correctly. Five museum staff who were in the gallery or nearby followed protocol by contacting security forces and protecting visitors.

It said the gang had tried to set fire to their vehicle outside but were prevented by the intervention of a museum staff-member.

'An embarrassment': BBC's Andrew Harding reports from scene of Louvre robbery

The heist took place in a gallery just a short walk from some of the world's most famous paintings – such as the Mona Lisa.

But the criminal groups that order heists like this do not target world-famous paintings that cannot ever be displayed or sold. They prefer items that can be converted into cash – and jewels top the list.

However huge their historical and cultural value, crowns and diadems can easily be broken apart and sold in bits. Even large and famous diamonds can be cut. The final sales price might not be what the original artefact was worth, but it will still be considerable.

Two recent museum thefts in France had already alerted the authorities to the growing audacity of art gangs, and a security plan drawn up by the culture ministry is gradually being put into effect across France.

"We are well aware that French museums are vulnerable," said Nunez.

In September thieves took raw gold – in its mineral state – from the Natural History Museum in Paris. The gold was worth about 600,000 euros (£520,000) and will have been easily disposed of on the black market.

In the same month thieves took porcelain worth 6,000,000 euros from a museum in Limoges – a city once famous for its chinaware. The haul could well have been commissioned by a foreign buyer.

The Louvre contains thousands of artworks that are famous around the world, and an equal number of more obscure items that are nonetheless culturally significant.

But in its 230-year history there have been relatively few thefts – largely thanks to the tight security in place.

The most recent disappearance was of a landscape by the 19th Century artist Camille Corot. Le Chemin de Sèvres (The Road to Sèvres) was simply removed from a wall in 1998 when no-one was looking, and has not been seen since.

But by far the most famous theft was the one that took place in 1911, when Leonardo da Vinci's La Joconde – better known now as the Mona Lisa – was taken. The culprit back then was able to roll it up and put it inside his jacket.

It turned out he was an Italian nationalist who wanted the artwork brought back home. It was found in Italy in 1914 and returned to the Louvre.

Unless they have a quick success in catching the thieves, today's investigators are unlikely to be so lucky.

The first aim of the gang will be to disperse the jewels and sell them on. It will not be hard.

George Santos wants to use his newfound freedom to reform prisons

George Santos, seen here arriving at federal court in April 2025, was recently released from prison after President Trump commuted his sentence

George Santos is done with politics for now - instead, he wants to use his newfound freedom to make prisons more humane, he told The Washington Post.

The disgraced Republican US Representative from New York was released from prison on Friday after President Donald Trump commuted his seven-year sentence for wire fraud and identity theft.

"There is nothing more that I want to do than to focus and dedicate my entire life to prison reform," Santos said in a Saturday interview with the Post.

Santos, who was booted from Congress in 2023 after a damning ethics report, told the Post that his experience in federal prison was "dehumanising" and "humbling".

Santos had admitted to stealing the identities of 11 people, including his own family members, was released on Friday night, US media reported.

He embellished much about his biography in the run-up to his election to Congress in 2022.

In the 84 days he served in prison, Santos wrote a handful of columns published on The South Shore Press' website.

He has described the prison system as "broken" with "rotting facilities, and administrators who seem incapable or unwilling to correct it". He said a gaping hole in the ceiling exposed "thick black mold" underneath, and that broken air conditioning forced prisoners to endure sweltering heat.

"The building itself is hardly fit for long-term habitation: sheet metal walls, shoddy construction, the look and feel of a temporary warehouse rather than a permanent facility," Santos wrote.

Santos told the Post that he spoke with Trump on Saturday and informed the president of his mission to get involved in prison reform and to "help his administration achieve that in whichever way I can".

It's not clear how exactly Santos intends to work on prison reform, and his lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BBC.

Santos told CNN's Dana Bash on Sunday that he's not interested in running for office again just yet, at least for the next decade.

"I'm all politicked out," he told Bash.

The Bureau of Prisons responded to a request for comment from BBC saying that it could not answer media inquiries due to the ongoing government shutdown.

A contact for the prison Santos was held in, FCI Fairton in New Jersey, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Santos' allegations of poor conditions and mistreatment.

记因 API 第一次挨同事骂

unbinilium:

背景:leader 最近接手了个嵌入式上的管理后台项目,架构比较古早 Static Web <-> Nginx <-> CGI (C, via Unix Socket) <-> Backend Application (C) <-> Modules 。同事抢了前端部分的工作,我分到了和储存系统相关的后端模块。评审完原型后就开工了,我写好自己模块前端部分 API 的草案后,请前端的同事先帮我 review 一下,结果被怒批了一顿。

从对方比较尖锐的评价里我大概总结出以下几点:

对方观点:

  1. 我不会做项目,完成任务优先级第一
  2. 我不是产品经理,不要替产品经理操心
  3. 我是学生思维,抓不到项目重点,写出来的东西不专业他看不懂(用不惯企微文档,加上有些术语想不到中文的名字, 草案就先用 md 写了英文的)
  4. 我协作不到位,我写这部分前端接口没提前通知他(事实上一起开会时我不仅说了,还把规划写在白板上了)

对方理由:

  1. 他也写了这部分 API ,比我的简单很多;我的命名不符合他的规范(这点在 review 前就提醒了,我的出发点是先确定数据结构上有没有分歧,之后命名样式一定会按照他的要求改好)
  2. 他自称写过很多爬虫,也写过前端(他本职做 AI 算法的,211 硕)
  3. 不能反映到前端原型的字段上就别加,不要自作聪明以为其他人没想到
  4. 一年前上司曾批评过我过度设计,效率低

事后也虚心看了下他写的 API ,这里仅以我的视角总结一下他的思路(因保密协议就不贴代码了):

  1. 前端页面下一个子组件对应到一个 endpoint ,不再分级,组件全部信息放在一个相同的 JSON schema 里就好
  2. 根据请求类型,后端自动去 request payload 里找需要的字段用或选择性更新 response body 里的部分字段
  3. 对于一个组件内部依赖其它组件信息或状态的情况,后端应该在这个组件的 API endpoint 里也提供
  4. 不假定某个地方需要扩展,不加冗余信息,产品有需求再改,总有办法能在现有接口上承载起新需求(顶多可能会让接口变得奇怪)

下面说一下这部分我的观点(个人职场新人,非 CS 专业,目前也就做做 embedded infra ,这方面可能不专业):

  1. 前端原型里部分组件 anti-pattern 的迹象很明显,一个模块里揉合状态信息、配置信息和控制指令,我倾向做 decomposition 拆到该 endpoint 的子路径里做(我很难接受前端把这种模式通过 API 扩散给后端)
  2. 跨组件的状态信息,前端这边去调用对应的其它 API 处理,我的组件接口只维护生命周期在我模块内的信息
  3. 在后端仅读 payload 的数据结构上做扩展冗余,及 response 里加一些未来可能用上的信息,不会对前端解析处理增加太多负担(私有 C/S 场景也不必拮据带宽成本)
  4. 我的模块 leader 限制 C/C++/Rust 实现,一致性和 forward compatibility 比提前出第一阶段 demo 重要,未来有新需求需要调整数据结构或者实现时,改起来熵太高(后端规模远大于前端 / 前端 JS 解 JSON )

其它的一些想法:

  1. 在设计和评审产品原型时,从时间和交互维度审视十分重要(这次其实原型就有问题)
  2. 产品经理几乎完全决定了一个产品的命运,很多时候向前端开发推进,需要先让产品经理认识到这个设计有问题(直接告诉前端要多点工作量可能挨骂)
  3. 理想主义在职场很难行得通,某种程度上我发展得的比我同事差(比较看 leader 和项目的 context 就是了,这点确实我做得不好)
  4. 即使我的主张合理,说服了大家做对的事情往往得不到任何好处,分外的事情,让市场和用户差评教产品做事就够了(自由市场也可能首先打我的脸)
  5. 和人交好很难,这件事看出同事应该是对我有不少意见,但是自己实在想不到哪里得罪了人家(感觉很多时候我已经比较注意了,比如有些会影响到大局的细节问题在评审时我想提一下,但觉得在那么多人的会上说可能不合适,毕竟我不是产品也不是设计,leader 也没开口,也是后面单独找产品旁敲侧击让他意识到有问题)

也想听听大家的建议(比如技术方面或为人处事方面)

嗯,再补充一些细节吧:

  1. 产品经理能 vibe coding 把原型网页做出来(虽然很粗糙),我模块的原型有问题要改结果一个星期还没改好,于是定接口时同事拿有问题的原型跟我对峙(产品想学习我理解,不过既然项目赶时间,老老实实上个 Figma 或者什么的不好吗)
    1. 原型里显示一个可能包含几十万个文件的文件夹没有分页,不加排序、过滤和搜索的情况下,期望用户能一下子找到自己想要的文件
    2. 原型过于简化,将操作/状态隐含在数据对象内,比如用户想临时关闭日程功能,做法是把之前辛辛苦苦写好的日程都删掉
  2. 同事写的 API 规范中,很多字段应该是谷歌翻译的(概念不合适且有不少拼写错误),以及他开始打算 HTTP 明文传输密码,后面其他人说不安全换成了传密码的 sha256 (不加 salt 和开始有什么区别...)

(应该还有不少,就不浪费社会资源吐槽了)

三星 Z Fold 7 vs 谷歌 Pixel 10 Pro Fold 上手体验分享

cj323:

终于上手了这两款 25 年的折叠旗舰机。之前网上参考了不少,以为顶多大差不差,没想到差距很明显。这里为可能帮到的网友分享一下。

先说结论,三星 Fold 7 体验远好于 Pixel 10 Fold 。Pixel 拿在手里后我就不想继续试用了。是的就是这么下头,一点不夸张。几秒钟,我想体验谷歌系统的欲望直接没了。

Pixel 最致命问题是折叠屏幕,这里如果不确定一定要上手试一下。具体体现在中间有明显的折痕,而且是很粗很深的一条。这个问题非常影响观感 - 中间几列文字会明显扭曲。同一位置,Fold 7 的折痕基本看不出来;仔细看也是很细的折痕,最多影响一列字。我看到有的测评提到过这一点,我也做好了谷歌在硬件上有差距的准备,但单纯就屏幕这一项差距,我不认为 Pixel 10 Fold 能在其他方面弥补回来。

Ex-Kenyan leader Raila Odinga buried after days of memorial events

Former Kenyan prime minister and revered long-time opposition leader Raila Odinga was buried in the west of the country after a service attended by thousands on Sunday.

"Now finally Baba is home," his son, Raila Odinga junior, said beside his father's casket, draped in the Kenyan flag.

The burial concluded days of memorials that at times led to chaos, with at least five mourners dying at other events and dozens injured at a public viewing on Saturday.

Odinga died on Wednesday aged 80 in an Indian hospital.

He became prime minister after the bloody and disputed 2007 election, and was the main opposition leader for many years, losing five presidential campaigns, most recently three years ago.

He retains a devotional following in the west of the country. Former US President Barack Obama, whose Kenyan family hails from the same region, called Odinga a "true champion of democracy".

Politicians, relatives and throngs of his supporters waved Kenyan flags and held his picture aloft as they gathered at Sunday's memorial service, which was held at a university in Bondo.

"Even in the grave, he still remains our hero," one mourner told the AFP news agency.

Military personnel carried Odinga's coffin to the front, where a choir sang and speakers, including Kenyan President William Ruto, remembered him.

"His courage, his vision, and his unyielding faith in our collective destiny will forever illuminate the path of our nation," Ruto said in a post on Facebook about the event.

"His return to Bondo was not merely a homecoming; it was the embrace of a grateful Republic bidding farewell to one of its greatest sons, a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of justice, democracy, and the enduring unity of our beloved Kenya."

Odinga was buried nearby at his late father's homestead, where there is a family mausoleum.

Multiple memorial events had already taken place, including a state funeral in Nairobi on Friday and a public viewing in a stadium in his home city of Kisumu on Saturday.

At the viewing, tens of thousands filed past his open coffin, many crying out the phrase "we are orphans".

At least three people were killed when police opened fire to disperse mourners, with dozens more injured in the chaotic scenes that followed.

Millions turned out for anti-Trump 'No Kings' protests across US

Republican governors in several US states have placed National Guard troops on standby in preparation for a nationwide protest to oppose Donald Trump and his policies.

The organisers of the "No Kings" protests say that gatherings will take place at more than 2,500 locations around the US. Trump allies have accused the protesters of being allied with the far-left Antifa movement.

Governors in Texas and Virginia have activated their state's National Guard troops, however it is unclear how visible the military presence will be.

Organisers say that at the last No Kings protest, held in June, more than five million people took to the streets to denounce Trump's political agenda.

The protest organisers say the protest will challenge Trump's "authoritarianism".

"The president thinks his rule is absolute," they say on their website.

"But in America, we don't have kings and we won't back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty."

Some Republicans have dubbed the protests "Hate America" rallies.

"We'll have to get the National Guard out," Kansas Senator Roger Marshall said ahead of the rallies, according to CNN.

"Hopefully it'll be peaceful. I doubt it."

Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Thursday activated the state's National Guard ahead of a protest scheduled in Austin, the state's capital.

He said the troops would be needed due to the "planned antifa-linked demonstration".

Democrats denounced the move, including the state's top Democrat Gene Wu, who argued: "Sending armed soldiers to suppress peaceful protests is what kings and dictators do — and Greg Abbott just proved he's one of them."

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin also ordered the state National Guard to be activated.

Trump ends aid to Colombia and calls country's leader a 'drug dealer'

Reuters Donald Trump at a podium in the Oval Office pointing as he takes questions from reporters. Reuters

President Donald Trump has said the US will return two people who survived a strike on what he called a "drug-carrying submarine" to their countries of origin, Ecuador and Colombia.

Writing on social media, Trump said two other people were killed in the US strike on the vessel, which he said US intelligence confirmed was "loaded up with mostly Fentanyl, and other illegal narcotics".

The attack on Thursday is at least the sixth US strike on ships in the Caribbean Sea in recent weeks. It is the first time survivors have been reported.

At least 27 people were killed in the prior five boat strikes in the waters off Venezuela, according to figures released by the administration.

The two survivors were rescued by a US military helicopter and then shuttled onto a US warship in the Caribbean, unnamed US officials told US media earlier.

In recent weeks, Trump has ramped up threats against Venezuela's leadership over claims that the country is sending drugs to the US. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has accused Trump of trying to make the South American nation "an American colony".

Trump has defended the ongoing boat attacks, saying they are aimed at stemming the flow of drugs from Latin America into the US, but his government has not provided evidence or details about the identities of the vessels or those on board.

"It was my great honor to destroy a very large DRUG-CARRYING SUBMARINE that was navigating towards the United States on a well known narcotrafficking transit route," Trump said in his Truth Social post on Saturday.

"The two surviving terrorists are being returned to their Countries of origin, Ecuador and Colombia, for detention and prosecution."

He added that no US military personnel were injured in the attack.

On Friday, the US president had said the submarine targeting the latest attack was "built specifically for the transportation of massive amounts of drugs".

"This was not an innocent group of people. I don't know too many people who have submarines, and that was an attack on a drug-carrying, loaded submarine," he added.

UN-appointed human rights experts have described the US strikes as "extrajudicial executions".

Trump earlier told reporters that he had authorised the CIA to conduct covert operations in Venezuela, and that he was considering launching attacks on Venezuelan soil.

Narco-subs have become a popular way to transport drugs as they can go largely undetected, and can be sunk after delivery. They are often homemade and constructed using fibreglass and plywood.

The US, as well as other coastal nations, have previously intercepted some of these subs.

Questions surround US singer D4vd weeks after teen's body found in his Tesla

D4vd performed at Coachella music festival months before a body was discovered in the trunk of his car

The day after a body was found in his car in Hollywood, singer D4vd was belting his TikTok hit Romantic Homicide - a brooding breakup song about killing an ex with no regret - to a sold-out crowd in Minneapolis.

The US recording artist had self-launched his music career from his sister's closet while working a part-time gig at Starbucks. It led him to viral fame, millions of followers online, and a global tour.

But all of it came to an abrupt halt last month with the discovery of a severely decomposed body in the front trunk of his Tesla.

The corpse was identified as that of 15-year-old runaway Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

A month later, mystery still surrounds the teen's death, as well as her relationship to the 20-year-old singer, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke.

Deep dives into his macabre oeuvre - which is peppered with references to death, remembrance, violence and bloody motifs - have led some to question if life was imitating art and vice versa.

The young singer has yet to publicly comment on the case or the grim discovery in his car. His spokesperson has only said that that he is "fully cooperating with authorities" and he has since hired a prominent criminal defence attorney who has represented celebrities such as Mel Gibson, Lindsay Lohan, Kanye West and Britney Spears.

Representatives for the singer - including his lawyer Blair Berk, Universal Music Group, Darkroom Records and Sony Music Publishing - did not respond to the BBC's requests for comment.

Rivas Hernandez's cause of death has yet to be determined.

The county's medical examiner has said her body was "severely decomposed" when it was found and has deferred making a ruling on how she died - an investigation they say could take months.

Police have also not named a suspect or person of interest in case, even weeks after discovering her body.

The Los Angeles Police Department has not offered many details in the case or the probe, calling it an open death investigation. The department would not comment on multiple questions posed by the BBC about the case, the investigation and any connections the singer may have to Rivas Hernandez.

"It's just such a strange one," Neama Rahmani, a former prosecutor and Los Angeles attorney, told the BBC. "It keeps getting more bizarre each day that goes on without an arrest."

That lack of information has also seemed to fuel intrigue. Fans, true-crime enthusiasts and internet sleuths have launched their own inquiries, locking in on details that appear to connect the teen girl with the gamer-turned-songwriter, who was once heralded by GQ as a "Mouthpiece for Gen-Z Heartache".

A runaway teen found dead in a Tesla

Rivas Hernandez - who lived about 75 miles away from where her body was discovered - had last been reported missing by her family in April 2024, but it was not the first time she had run away from their Lake Elsinore home.

A first-generation daughter of immigrant parents from El Salvador, neighbours recognised her as a girl who would visit the corner store almost daily to buy candy and soda, according to the Los Angeles Times.

She first went missing on Valentine's Day 2024, and her family filed a missing persons report the next day.

Posters of her face were put up in her neighbourhood and her mother posted pleas on Facebook in Spanish for her return - public overtures that apparently irked the teen.

Over the next two years, her parents would file at least two more missing-persons reports.

Her family and friends told the newspaper that every time Rivas Hernandez ran away, she would eventually return and blend back into her life as a middle schooler.

When the teens' remains were found in a bag in D4vd's Tesla on 8 September, the medical examiner said that she was wearing a tube top, size small black leggings and jewellery, including a yellow metal stud earring and a yellow metal chain bracelet.

She also had a tattoo that read "Shhh…" on her index finger - a marking nearly identical to that on the pop singer's own index finger.

The decomposition of her body indicated that she had already been "deceased for several weeks", investigators said.

Her family, who described her as a beloved daughter, sister, cousin and friend, has said they are "heartbroken and devastated by this tragic loss". They have since solicited money on a crowdfunding website to pay for her funeral, which took place earlier this month.

A singer on the precipice of main-stream fame

D4vd's rise to stardom - fuelled by TikTok and online gaming - is a paradigm for his generation.

Growing up near Houston, Texas, he was home-schooled and said he exclusively listened to gospel music until he was 13. He became an avid Fortnite player in 2017 and launched his music career using pop songs to soundtrack gameplay montages that he posted on YouTube.

He started making his own music when he ran into copyright hurdles, beginning by recording songs on The BandLab app in 2021 and uploading his work on SoundCloud.

Soon, he saw his music breaking through with thousands of listens. He then released what would become his two biggest hits thus far: Romantic Homicide and Here With Me.

The songs went viral on TikTok and led to billions of streams on Spotify, where he has amassed 33 million monthly listeners.

He signed with Darkroom and Interscope Records and released his debut EP, Petals and Thorns, in 2023. That same year, he landed on Variety's Young Hollywood list and opened for SZA on her SOS tour.

Last spring, he made his Coachella debut - known as the festival for up-and-coming talent to break into mainstream fame. He was also commissioned by Fortnite - which he has said shaped his story as an artist - to create the game's first official anthem, Locked & Loaded.

A discovery that broke a family and halted a career

But this ascent to fame came to a pause when his Tesla was towed to an impoundment lot and authorities found a bag inside the front trunk that contained Rivas Hernandez's decomposing remains after someone complained about a foul smell.

His world tour was cancelled within days of the discovery, and Sony Music Publishing reportedly suspended promotion of his sophomore album.

Los Angeles police soon raided the posh Hollywood Hills mansion where the singer was living, just blocks from where his Tesla had been towed.

US retailer Hollister and footwear giant Crocs dropped D4vd from marketing campaigns and Telepatía singer Kali Uchis announced she was taking down their collaboration, Crashing.

But while his career ground to a screeching halt, authorities have been silent on the investigation into Rivas Hernandez's death.

Investigators have not released any new information in the case since 29 September.

The agency also said that it is still unclear whether there is any criminal culpability beyond the concealment of her body.

While online sleuths have been quick to speculate, legal experts say that there is still much we don't know.

"You have this connection to David that seems pretty strong," Mr Rahmani, the former prosecutor, told the BBC. "There is a lot of smoke but look, he could be absolutely innocent and it could be someone else who had access to his vehicle."

Mr Rahmani said while there are many questions in this case, the biggest for him is "what is taking the LAPD so long".

"They haven't released any real information," he said. "This isn't a good look for the LAPD and it's a terrible look for D4vd."

He added that a case like this has added pressures: it involves a teen girl's death, it has garnered global headlines, and the investigation involves a celebrity.

Mr Rahmani noted that technology and potential for video footage is likely to be a "treasure trove" for investigators. Telsa vehicles come with advanced technology that tracks vehicles, notifies users when things like the trunk is open and are also outfitted with a slew of cameras as part of its Sentry Mode systems.

On top of this, the Hollywood home where he was living also had cameras. When authorities searched the home last month, investigators took a DVR that stores video and other data from the surveillance system.

Malden Trifunovic, the owner of the Hollywood Hills home D4vd was renting, has told the BBC that he has hired a private investigator to help uncover what might have happened inside his multi-million-dollar abode.

D4vd's manager Josh Marshall, the founder of Mogul Vision, rented the home for D4vd and has distanced himself from the singer. He vehemently denied rumours that he is connected to the death investigation.

The widening mystery

In addition to the mystery surrounding the cause of Rivas Hernandez's death, it is still unclear what relationship the teenager had with the 20-year-old singer.

Rivas Hernandez would have turned 15 the day before her body was found by police.

In California, the age of consent is 18.

Family, friends and those who knew her have told local media that she had been dating someone named David and said he was a music artist.

A former middle-school science teacher blamed her last attempt to run away from home, in the spring of 2024, on her dating a music artist she'd met online.

"She's been missing since I taught her," the teacher said in a viral video after Rivas Hernandez's body was identified.

Online sleuths have also connected her to the singer in a number of ways, from their matching tattoos to photos he posted online that appear to show them together.

But D4vd has not addressed the rumours, nor have police.

Like many who don't follow indie pop music, his landlord Mr Trifunovic said he had never heard of D4vd until news broke about the discovery. He didn't even know it was D4vd who was renting his home because the lease had been signed by the singer's manager, Mr Marshall.

"I share the same anxiety and desire to understand what happened to poor Celeste as everyone else does," Mr Trifunovic told the BBC.

Although he said he trusts the LAPD to conduct a thorough investigation, he too, is anxious for information.

"There is absolutely no question that a crime was committed," he said.

"She did not place herself in the front trunk of the Tesla or move the vehicle to where it was found."

乒乓欧锦赛 法国男团夺冠

19/10/2025 - 19:26

19日晚,在克罗地亚扎达尔(Zadar)举行的2025欧洲乒乓球锦标赛团体决赛落幕。法国队重夺冠军桂冠并不令人意外,教练纳塔内尔·莫林·莫林的球队在比赛中占据主导地位,前一天在半决赛中以3-1横扫夺冠热门德国队,随后又在对阵罗马尼亚队的比赛中势不可挡。

罗马尼亚队在四分之一决赛中爆冷击败了卫冕冠军瑞典队,最终进入决赛。继2024年亚历克西斯·勒布伦赢得洲际冠军(单打和双打,由菲利克斯搭档)之后,法国队实现了勒布伦教练一直期盼的“大满贯”,而此前,他们还曾获得过2024年欧洲杯冠军(亚历克西斯·勒布伦和菲利克斯·勒布伦分别获得单打和双打冠军),以及欧洲16强赛冠军,以及菲利克斯·勒布伦在2023年欧洲运动会上夺得单打冠军。

决赛中,艾利克斯·勒布伦完美掌控了尤利安·奇里塔(3-0、11-2、11-6、11-7),彻底压制了对手,但面对这位蒙彼利埃球员强势的打法,他束手无策。

随后,爱德华·约内斯库试图给菲利克斯·勒布伦制造麻烦,他成功拿下第一盘。但这位法国选手再次发力,轻松取胜(3-1、11-3、9-11、11-5、11-4)。最终,30岁的老将西蒙·高齐( Simon Gauzy)尽管比赛竞争更加激烈,且在第三盘失利,但他没有错过机会(3-1、11-9、11-9、3-11、11-3战胜奥维迪乌·约内斯库),将冠军奖杯献给队友。法国队获胜后,队员冲上看台与球迷们一起分享幸福的时刻。

法国队上一次夺冠是在 1998 年,当时的阵容中包括让-菲利普·加蒂安(Jean-Philippe Gatien)、帕特里克·奇拉()和达米安·埃洛伊(Patrick Chila)等著名球星。 

法国对教练纳塔内尔·莫林(Nathanaël Molin)在比赛前就信心十足。他曾对媒体表示,可以说法国队是有史以来最强的阵容。

法国男子乒乓球队是代表法国参加国际乒乓球赛事的国家男子乒乓球队。在2022年第56届成都世乒赛团体赛中,法国队于10月4日晋级十六强 ,并在10月5日的1/8决赛中以3-2战胜英格兰队,成功进入八强。随后在1/4决赛中以2-3负于德国队,止步八强 。

2022年12月,法国队在世青赛U15男团半决赛中1-3不敌澳大利亚队。2024年2月25日,法国队在釜山世乒赛男子团体决赛中0-3负于中国队,获得亚军 。
