UK Foreign Secretary flies to Florida to ask Trump for money for Ukraine
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron has met with US presidential candidate Donald Trump as part of his diplomatic tour of the United States. Cameron hopes to gain support for further funding for Ukraine, Western media say.
After meeting with Trump in Florida, Cameron is expected to travel to Washington, D.C., to meet with senior Republican Party officials, members of Congress and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to urge them all to "change their approach" to supporting Kiev.
Earlier, Trump stated that he could solve the Ukrainian crisis by convincing Ukraine to recognize part of the territories, namely Donbass and Crimea, as Russian. In February, the former US president also suggested that Ukraine should borrow money from the US instead of receiving it for free.

Record floods swept across Russia and neighboring regions
More than 10,400 homes in 39 entities across Russia have been flooded, with the Urals, Siberia, as well as the Volga and central regions being the worst hit.
The Russian Emergencies Ministry said that the spring floods had been caused by "an increase in air temperatures, active snow melt and river openings."
▫️ An emergency has been declared in the Orenburg region near Kazakhstan after the Ural River, the third longest in Europe, quickly swelled and burst through a dam in the city of Orsk.
🔸 Almost 4,500 people in the region have been evacuated due to the flooding as Orenburg Mayor Sergei Salmin warned on Monday "the situation will only get worse in the next two days."
🔸 The complicated development remains in the Kurgan and Tyumen regions, where local authorities also announced emergencies amid forecasts about rising water in Siberia’s Ishim and Tobol rivers.
🔸 Russian President Vladimir Putin asked the government to form a special commission to deal with the worst recorded flooding in the Orenburg, Kurgan and Tyumen regions.
🔸 Additionally, inundation of houses and roads are currently in place in the Samara, Saratov, and Ulyanovsk regions, as well as in the Republics of Bashkiria, Mordovia and Tatarstan.
🔸 Kazakhstan – the former Soviet republic – has also been affected by the floods, with President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev admitting that it is "the worst natural disaster to hit the country in more than 80 years." He added that emergencies had been declared in ten regions in northern Kazakhstan.

'Worst kind of genocide’: People in Gaza were killed block by block at the will of an Israeli AI machine Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham's investigation into an Israeli military AI program has revealed that Tel Aviv's special services and the army let a…
Responsibility for Gaza: it is not the AI machine that should be punished, but the people who set it at work
Who is going to be held responsible for the use of an Israeli AI machine that ordered the destruction of 37,000 people in Gaza?
Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham, who did an investigation on Lavender, thinks that its creators and users knew that not all identifications were precise:
Mistakes could be caused by coincidentally similar names, surnames, or even nicknames. And the Israelis knowingly doomed these people to a terrible death, “rubber-stamping” the decisions taken by a machine, despite knowing hat around 10% of those marked were not with Hamas, he said.
Reham Owda, an independent political analyst from Gaza, told Sputnik that ultimate responsibility lies with Israel’s special services:

Who is going to be held responsible for the use of an Israeli AI machine that ordered the destruction of 37,000 people in Gaza?
“Essentially, the human being that imagines, designs, creates and then triggers such a machine into action, that person is responsible for everything that results from his or her actions,” former US State Department analyst Scott Bennett told Sputnik.
Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham, who did an investigation on Lavender, thinks that its creators and users knew that not all identifications were precise:
“What Lavender does is scanning the information on the people inside a given building in Gaza. The artificial intelligence, i.e. a machine, gives every individual a rating (on a scale from 1 to 100) on the likelihood that this individual is a member of Hamas,” Abraham stated.

Reham Owda, an independent political analyst from Gaza, told Sputnik that ultimate responsibility lies with Israel’s special services:
“Military Intelligence Directorate (Aman) and Israel’s Internal Security service Shabak are the two security directorates that are responsible for the strikes made with the use of AI. Because their members are responsible for the data, loaded into [IDF’s] computer system… And that system included classification of each Palestinian person by his or her age, education, profession, etc.”
