According to the Spanish government, everything is going to plan. We have government ministers here, the head of the World health organization and 300 police officers all at the port of overseeing this operation. But there was a bit of drama last night when the president of the Canary Islands, Fernando Pavijo, who had expressed concerns about the arrival of the boat recently. Last night he said he was not going to allow it to arrive at all. He expressed concerns about the possibility that rats might come to land from the boat and therefore infect local people. However, the state authorities have overridden his concerns.

Peter Madur has been sworn in as the new Hungarian prime minister after his Tischa party saw a landslide victory last month in parliamentary elections. In a speech upon taking the oath, Magyar said he would not rule over Hungary but serve it. Madyar formed his own party in 2020 after leaving Orban's ruling Fidesz party. Tisha won 141 of the 200 seats in the parliament last month. The FL of the European Union, shunned by his predecessor, is again hanging in the Hungarian parliament building. Brussels hopes to restore good relations after years of tension with Orban. European Council President Antonio Costa calls it a new chapter in Hungarian history and says the EU is ready to work with the new government. For NPR News, I'm Terri Schultz in Brussels.

Bad actors can get away with using a student's identity, sometimes for years before anyone catches on.

Dozens of artists issued a statement withdrawing from awards consideration at this year's Biennale. The move comes in solidarity with the awards jury, who recently resigned en masse after issuing a statement that they would not award PR to countries charged with crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court. That includes Israel and Russia. At a protest earlier in the week against Russia's return to the Biennale for the first time since its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, art collective Pussy riots stormed the Russian pavilion in bright pink balaclava hats. Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets on Friday to protest Israel's presence over the war in Gaza. Some exhibitions shuttered for hours while artists and curators joined the march.
