An aid ship loaded with some 200 tons of food has set sail for Gaza. It's a pilot program for the opening of a sea corridor to the territory, where the Israel-Hamas war has driven hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to the brink of starvation. The food was gathered by World Central Kitchen, the charity founded by celebrity chef José Andrés, and is being transported by the Spanish aid group Open Arms. The ship departed from the Mediterranean island nation of Cyprus and is expected to arrive in the Gaza in two to three days. The United States has separately announced plans to construct a sea bridge near Gaza in order to deliver aid, but it will likely be several weeks before it is operational.

Online influencer Andrew Tate has been detained in Romania and handed an arrest warrant issued by British authorities. His spokesperson says that Tate and his brother Tristan Tate were detained on allegations of sexual aggression in a U.K. case dating back to 2012-2015.
