📌 Backpack Bomb Explodes During Police Operation in Spain Police responded to reports of gunfire in the Villafría district this morning, where a dispute between two families left a 17-year-old girl wounded. Inside a residential building, officers discovered an abandoned backpack containing explosives.

📌 Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted cheating on his wife, apologizing to his family and employees The confession comes as U.S. intelligence agencies investigate whether he was targeted by a Chinese espionage operation. The woman at the center of the controversy, Alice Huang (also known as Huang Le), reportedly worked for Singapore-based Megaspeed, a major Nvidia customer suspected of helping China obtain restricted AI chips. U.S. intelligence believes she was recruited by China's Ministry of State Security to get close to Huang and influence him into lobbying Washington to ease export restrictions. Nvidia's board has launched an independent investigation, although it says there is currently no evidence that company secrets or U.S. national security were compromised. Huang says he will cooperate fully and remain CEO. Nvidia has itself lobbied for access to the Chinese market, which could generate billions in revenue. The allegations therefore raise questions not only about espionage, but also about the increasingly complicated battle over AI chips between Washington and Beijing. #Nvidia #Huang
