Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla calls State Secretary Marco Rubio a liar, accusing him of deceiving the American people about Cuba being a threat to the United States.

Cuba says U.S. fabricating pretext for conflict after report on drone purchase Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez speaks during a news conference in Havana in October 2025. HAVANA - Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez accused the U.S. on Sunday of fabricating a fraudulent case to justify economic sanctions and potential military intervention. The minister's comments followed a report by Axios the same day citing classified intelligence, which said Cuba had acquired more than 300 military drones. Cuba neither threatens nor desires war, Rodriguez said in a post on social media, adding that the country prepares itself to confront external aggression in the exercise of the right to legitimate self-defense recognized by the U.N. Charter. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

Backdoor attacks have emerged as a critical security threat against deep neural networks in recent years. The majority of existing backdoor attacks focus on targeted backdoor attacks, where trigger is strongly associated to specific malicious behavior. Various backdoor detection methods depend on this inherent property and shows effective results in identifying and mitigating such targeted attacks. However, a purely untargeted attack in backdoor scenarios is, in some sense, self-weakening, since the target nature is what makes backdoor attacks so powerful. In light of this, we introduce a novel Constrained Untargeted Backdoor Attack (CUBA), which combines the flexibility of untargeted attacks with the intentionality of targeted attacks. The compromised model, when presented with backdoor images, will classify them into random classes within a constrained range of target classes selected by the attacker. This combination of randomness and determinedness enables the proposed untargeted backdoor attack to natively circumvent existing backdoor defense methods. To implement the untargeted backdoor attack under controlled flexibility, we propose to apply logit normalization on cross-entropy loss with flipped one-hot labels. By constraining the logit during training, the compromised model will show a uniform distribution across selected target classes, resulting in controlled untargeted attack. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed CUBA on different datasets.

The Chinese government has posted a bizarre video of female Chinese soldiers marching in various settings to its official account for its embassy in France -- and featuring music that was made for a famous 1996 military strategy video game. The video, captioned "Les femmes de l'armée chinoise" (The women of the Chinese army) was posted on Sunday, and features a number of clips of female soldiers marching in different contexts. However, the music featured over the top of the clips is well-known to real-time strategy gaming buffs who grew up in the 1990s. This undated Chinese video shows soldiers marching. It was posted to a Chinese Twitter account on June 11, 2023.

California gubernatorial candidate lays out his agenda on'Hannity' and Leo Terrell endorses him This is a rush transcript from "Hannity," July 13, 2021. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. I do get a kick out of it. Tonight, a massive record-setting inflation, spiking violent crime, unprecedented waves of illegal immigration, China, Russia, Iran rolling over this great country, and sadly, whoever is in charge at the Biden White House -- well, is just getting started. Now, state-mandated vaccine programs, that may also be headed your way. We'll tell you the details. Government doctor, wannabe celebrity, Anthony Fauci demanding that all your young children wear masks indefinitely. We have that news tonight. Larry Elder is now officially running to unseat Newsom as governor of the great state of California. He will join us for his very first TV interview since his big announcement, and it comes with an endorsement. But, first, an important update from the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committees' bizarre proposal to redesign the American flag. We're going to explain that in detail. We've had a back-and-forth with this organization all day. If you are one of millions of Americans who disagree with the radical policies put forth by the Democratic Party, watch out because Joe Biden -- well, he referred his political opponents today -- referred to them as domestic enemies. Where's the media that got so upset when Donald Trump said the media is an enemy of the people because they lie and tell fake news? Anyway, he's saying they're working to subvert American democracy. In a set of prepared remarks, this wasn't off the cuff, better suited for a despotic socialist dictator frankly, Joe Biden said that our country is facing its most significant test since the civil war echoing Jen Psaki because all state legislatures, why, they're requiring voter ID like his state?

Just as the US government released a new batch of declassified documents last month regarding the JFK assassination, Microsoft began using Machine Learning and AI to make sense of handwritten documents. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. Tens of thousands of documents are now available through the US National Archives portal, Archives.gov, However, many documents are handwritten, and searching through them to find keywords and subjects of interest can be an extremely laborious task when done manually. According to the Microsoft Commercial Software Engineering (CSE) team, "One of the great advantages of the shift from physical to digital documents is the fast and effective search and knowledge extraction methods now available. Gone are the days of reviewing documents line-by-line to find particular information."

Josuhe Pagliery grew up playing video games on consoles he says were not common in Cuba. Those games helped inspire him to develop Savior, Cuba's first independent video game. Josuhe Pagliery grew up playing video games on consoles he says were not common in Cuba. Those games helped inspire him to develop Savior, Cuba's first independent video game. Between Fidel Castro's death and the new American president, it's hard to know what's next for U.S.-Cuba relations. But partnerships are already underway, including one involving Cuba's first independent video game design company and a U.S. foundation that helped it get started.

Downtown Havana resident Margarita Marquez says she received a special Christmas gift this year: web access at home, a rarity in Cuba, a country with one of the lowest internet penetration rates in the world. Ms Marquez, a 67-year-old retired university professor, was among those selected by the government two weeks ago to participate in a pilot project bringing the web into the homes of 2,000 inhabitants of the historic centre of the island's capital. Most of Communist-ruled Cuba's 11.2 million inhabitants only have access to internet at wi-fi hotspots, and only then if they can afford the 80p hourly tariff that represents around five per cent of the average monthly state salary. Only five per cent of Cubans are estimated to enjoy internet at home, which requires government permission. This is usually granted mainly to academics, doctors and intellectuals.
