Journalist Mark Halperin is reporting that Kamala Harris will pick Josh Shapiro for VP.Ms. Harris and Mr. Shapiro, 51, have also known each other for years. In 2006, Ms. Harris, then the San Francisco district attorney, and Mr. Shapiro, a state representative from the Philadelphia suburbs, were tapped for a prestigious program for rising stars in American politics.Ten years later, Ms. Harris was in her last year as attorney general and running for Senate, while Mr. Shapiro was seeking the attorney general’s office in Pennsylvania.He built a broad coalition in that race, securing support from President Barack Obama and key law enforcement leaders. He had also stayed in touch with Ms. Harris, asking her for advice over the years, and he spoke with her during that run for attorney general, said Manuel Bonder, a spokesman for Mr. Shapiro.Mr. Shapiro won that fall even as Hillary Clinton lost the state, outperforming her in rural counties and running up his margins in the suburbs, in a preview of how he would win the governor’s race six years later — and, his supporters argue, how he could help Ms. Harris carry the battleground state this year.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius on Tuesday said "nobody believes" that two broken telecommunications cables in the Baltic Sea were "accidentally cut.""We have to conclude, without knowing exactly who did it, that it is a hybrid action and we also have to assume — without knowing it — that it is sabotage," Pistorius told reporters in Brussels on the sidelines of a Council of the European Union meeting.The Finnish network company Cinia said Monday it was investigating a broken undersea internet cable running between Santahamina near Helsinki and Rostock in Germany — in a submarine incident that sparked political alarm in Berlin and Helsinki.The 1,173 kilometer-long cable follows a similar route to the Russia-to-Germany Nord Stream gas pipelines, which exploded in September 2022 in an apparent act of sabotage.Also speaking on the sidelines of the meeting in Brussels, Finnish Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen said: “We are now investigating what has happened. We have good capabilities through all of this to investigate what has happened and who has been there.”Finland’s Europe Minister Joakim Strand called the incident "concerning.""Our authorities together with the companies are proactively investigating the case. The telecommunications have been re-routed to back-up connections and practical impacts have been minimal. The cable of course will be repaired. It is too soon to speculate on any causes but of course this is concerning," he added.The suspected case of sabotage comes as European foreign ministers, meeting in Warsaw on Tuesday, warned that Russia is “systematically attacking” Europe’s security architecture.
