UK police investigate Bob Vylan pre-Glastonbury concert
Punk duo Bob Vylan are being investigated by British police after allegedly calling for "death to every single IDF (Israel Defence Forces) soldier out there" at a concert one month before Glastonbury. The pair - Bobby Vylan and bandmate Bobbie Vylan - are already being investigated by Avon and Somerset Police over their controversial appearance at Worthy Farm when rapper Bobby Vylan led crowds in chants of "death, death to the IDF" during their livestreamed performance at the Somerset music festival last weekend. In video footage, Bobby Vylan, whose real name is reportedly Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, appears to be at Alexandra Palace telling crowds: "Death to every single IDF soldier out there as an agent of terror for Israel. Death to the IDF." Bob Vylan had supported Iggy Pop at the London venue on his tour on 28 May, a month before Glastonbury. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said on Wednesday: "Officers are investigating comments allegedly made during a concert at Alexandra Palace earlier this year. "The decision to investigate follows the emergence of footage which (sic) appears to have been filmed at the venue on 28 May 2025." It is not clear when the investigation was launched. The probe comes after it was revealed Bob Vylan will no longer play the Radar festival in Manchester. The duo were due to headline the Saturday slot but no longer appear in the line-up. A statement posted on the Radar festival's Instagram account said: "Bob Vylan will not be appearing at Radar festival this weekend." It has since updated its website, changing the Saturday slot to "Headliner TBA" (to be announced). In response, the group shared the festival's statement on their Instagram story, adding the caption: "Silence is not an option. We will be fine, the people of Palestine are hurting. Manchester we will be back." The rap group had issued a statement on Tuesday claiming they were being "targeted for speaking up" after Avon and Somerset Police began its investigation. The BBC has also faced criticism for livestreaming the set and has since apologised, describing the chants as "antisemitic sentiments" that were "unacceptable". It later emerged BBC Director-General Tim Davie was at Glastonbury while the performance was being livestreamed. A BBC spokesperson said: "The Director-General was informed of the incident after the performance and at that point he was clear it should not feature in any other Glastonbury coverage." On Monday, the group were banned from entering the US, ahead of their tour, with Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau revoking the duo's visas for their "hateful tirade at Glastonbury". They have also been pulled from their upcoming performance at a German music venue. Bob Vylan are expected to perform at the Boardmasters surfing and music festival in Newquay, Cornwall, in August.

Is Timothee Chalamet avoiding Kylie Jenner's family? The source reveals THIS is the reason
Timothee Chalamet , the 'Dune' actor, has been going on enchanting dates and frolicking around the town with his belle, Kylie Jenner . However, the 29-year-old has kept his distance from the socialite family, the Kardashians, to the extent that it's infuriating them. Timothee Chalamet is not interested in the Kardashians... According to Radar online, the sources claim that Kylie's mother and momager, Kris Jenner , and her sisters, Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian, have been desperate to spend time with the critically acclaimed actor. They have even extended their invites to fancy weekends away from home, dinner parties, and more, but Timothee keeps one arm's length away from them. While he is grateful and appreciative towards the Kardashian family's efforts to know him, the source expressed that he is wise enough to smell the ulterior motives of using his Hollywood name and connections for networking purposes. Kendall Jenner is an exception... Chalamet doesn't cut every call; he has been spending some time with the family, but he rarely is there for an hour, and when he has a reason to bail out, he does. The only exception is Kendall Jenner, the supermodel who is closer to the couple's age, and the trio have been spotted hanging around town. 'Timmy's seen the likes of Caitlyn Jenner, Kanye West , Lamar Odom, and so many other dudes who've been ruined once Kris got her claws into them. He'll be damned if that's his path,' the source said. Timothee Chalamet had been warned... Previously, the reports of Timothee's friends and family warning him about the Kardashian family floated around, citing that dating the reality star could end up affecting his acting career. "But Timmy's got a very smart head on his shoulders and he's made this decision for himself," the insider said. Chalamet has been getting a lot of attention from the netizens and paparazzi for dating the beauty mogul, but he has no interest in keeping up with the Kardashians whatsoever.

TomaGold Set to Launch Strategic Drilling Campaign on its Chibougamau Projects
MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TOMAGOLD CORPORATION (TSXV: LOT) (' TomaGold ' or the ' Company ') is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of its 2025 drilling campaign, which will focus primarily on the properties currently under option from SOQUEM and Chibougamau Independent Mines in the Chibougamau Mining Camp, as well as its wholly-owned Obalski Project (the ' Chibougamau Projects '). David Grondin, CEO of TomaGold stated: 'The Chibougamau Mining Camp has recently attracted significant exploration activity, underscoring the region's increasing potential for gold and copper discoveries. Since the beginning of the year, we have compiled project data, advanced preliminary work, identified high-priority targets, and prepared our properties to be drill-ready. Our 53-hole exploration program will focus on our key projects—Berrigan, Radar, David, Dufault, and Obalski—with the objective of uncovering new gold-copper mineralization on well-defined, strategically selected targets. We are eager to commence drilling and build on the momentum in this highly prospective region.' Drill and Work Permits Secured TomaGold has obtained all the necessary drilling and work permits, including the ATI ('Autorisation de Travaux à Impact') and forestry permits, to begin exploration activities across its Chibougamau Projects. Drill Pad Setup and Mobilization Status All access trails to the drill sites have been cleared and secured, and the drill setups are ready for immediate mobilization. A total of 53 drill targets have been identified and are fully permitted. While preparing the sites during the winter, the team also conducted limited and selective surface sampling in select areas. Analytical results from this sampling are currently pending. Geophysical Survey Work on Obalski A downhole resistivity/induced polarization (IP) logging survey was conducted in hole OBS-17-002, which intersected the newly interpreted NE-SW Zone on the Obalski Project. The objective was to determine the in-situ physical properties of this high-grade copper-gold zone to define the most effective geophysical method for the upcoming drilling campaign. The resistivity and chargeability contrasts measured between the host rocks and the NE-SW Zone are up to 10,000 times more conductive and 10 times more chargeable, respectively. To confirm these results, the geophysical properties of hole OBS-23-032 were also measured. This hole was interpreted to have intersected the same NE-SW Zone some 65 m further south. The results again confirmed similar conductive and chargeable contrasts of 25,000x and 10x, respectively. These very high contrasts suggest that electromagnetic (EM) and induced polarization (IP) methods could be successfully applied in this geological context of the Obalski project and possibly the Chibougamau Camp. 3D Modelling and Structural Reinterpretation TomaGold has completed approximately 95% of the geological reinterpretation and 3D modeling of the Obalski project. The updated model incorporates historical and recent data, providing a more comprehensive understanding of structural controls and mineralization trends. Final conclusions and visuals from the model will be presented shortly. The Company has initiated a similar modelling and reinterpretation process across its other projects, leveraging the structural insights gained from the Obalski project reinterpretation. Upcoming Geophysical Surveys (Pending Crew Availability) TomaGold has outlined a series of geophysical surveys to be conducted across its Chibougamau Projects in 2025, pending crew availability and seasonal access. These surveys are designed to refine drill targeting and enhance geological modelling across key assets. Summary of Planned Geophysical Work by Project: These surveys will complement the current structural reinterpretation work and support future drilling campaigns across the portfolio. The technical content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by Jean Lafleur, the Company's Vice President of Exploration and a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101. About TomaGold TomaGold Corporation (TSXV: LOT) is a Canadian mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition, assessment, exploration and development of gold, copper, rare earth elements and lithium projects. Its primary goal is to consolidate the Chibougamau Mining Camp in northern Quebec. In addition to the agreements to acquire 13 properties in the camp, the Company holds interests in two gold properties in the vicinity of the camp: Obalski and Doda Lake. TomaGold also owns a 100% interest in a lithium property and in the Star Lake rare earth elements property, located in the James Bay region of Quebec, as well as a 24.5% interest in the Baird property, located near the Red Lake mining camp in Ontario through a joint venture with Evolution Mining Ltd. and New Gold Inc.

Project Galileo Marks 11 Years of Cybersecurity Defense
Home » Emerging technologies » Cyber Security » Project Galileo Marks 11 Years of Cybersecurity Defense Cloudflare has announced the 11th anniversary of Project Galileo, its flagship initiative offering free cybersecurity protection to at-risk public interest organizations worldwide. Launched in June 2014, the program has defended journalists, human rights groups, independent media, environmental activists, and others working on the frontlines of democracy and civil society. To mark this milestone, Cloudflare revealed a new interactive Radar report. The report provides detailed insights into the cyber threats faced by organizations protected under Project Galileo. It highlights the increasing risks and evolving tactics used by attackers targeting these groups. According to the report, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are growing more common than traditional web application exploits. From May 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025, Cloudflare blocked 108.9 billion cyber threats aimed at Project Galileo organizations. This equates to an average of nearly 325.2 million attacks per day, representing a 241% increase compared to the previous year. Journalists and news organizations experienced the highest volume of attacks. Over 97 billion requests were blocked across 315 such organizations. The peak attack day was September 28, 2024. Human rights and civil society organizations ranked second, with 8.9 billion blocked requests. Their peak attack activity occurred on October 8, 2024. Cloudflare also reported that the Belarusian Investigative Center, an independent journalism group, joined Project Galileo on September 27, 2024, while already under attack. The following day, it faced a major application-layer DDoS attack, generating over 28 billion requests. Many targets were investigative journalism outlets in regions experiencing government pressure, such as Russia and Belarus. Additionally, NGOs combating racism, extremism, and defending workers' rights were heavily targeted. One human rights group, Tech4Peace, focused on digital rights, faced a prolonged 12-day cyberattack starting March 10, 2025. The attack included over 2.7 billion requests, with varied intensity and tactics. Cloudflare noted this demonstrated a coordinated effort by attackers adapting their methods over time. The full Radar report also covers threats faced by environmental groups and organizations involved in disaster and humanitarian relief. It serves as a resource for policymakers, researchers, and advocates protecting public interest groups worldwide. Cloudflare emphasized that partnerships remain key to Project Galileo's growth. The company relies on 56 trusted civil society organizations globally to identify groups needing cybersecurity support. This network helps expand Project Galileo's reach and impact. Despite significant funding cuts faced by many partners in 2025, Cloudflare reported continued efforts to protect vulnerable communities. The company expressed gratitude toward its civil society partners for their ongoing role in identifying at-risk organizations. In conclusion, Cloudflare reaffirmed its commitment to creating a more secure, resilient, and open internet for all by defending essential public interest organizations through Project Galileo.
