AMNA NAWAZ: In the day's other headlines: A sanctioned Russian oil tanker is now off the coast of Cuba about to deliver some 700,000 barrels of much-needed oil.

Russian officials say it arrived at Cuba's Matanzas port this morning, though ship tracking data suggests it won't dock until later tonight or tomorrow.

It comes amid a crippling U.S.

oil blockade, which has led to recurring blackouts and gas shortages.

Yesterday, President Trump told reporters that, despite the blockade, he has -- quote -- "no problem" with Russia's shipment.

Today, a Kremlin spokesman said Russia discussed the shipment with the U.S.

DMITRY PESKOV, Spokesman for Vladimir Putin (through translator): Under the blockade, our Cuban friends need petroleum products and oil for the country's life support systems, for generating electricity, and for providing medical and other services to the population.

Russia considers it its duty not to stand aside, but to provide the necessary assistance to our Cuban friends.

AMNA NAWAZ: Experts say Russia's shipment of oil is enough to meet Cuba's energy demand for about nine or 10 days.

formally reopened its embassy in Venezuela's capital of Caracas today.

charge d'affaires and other officials marked the reopening by posting a Spanish-language video to social media, touting what they called -- quote -- "a new chapter in our bilateral relationship."

The facility is in need of significant repair after a seven-year closure that began during President Trump's first term.

ITAMAR BEN-GVIR, Israeli National Security Minister (through translator): From today, every terrorist will know and the whole world will know that, whoever takes a life, the state of Israel will take their life.

AMNA NAWAZ: The bill has faced criticism from both Israeli and Palestinian rights groups, with one calling it discriminatory by design.

That's near record levels, according to the latest available figures.

Last year, at least 31 people died in ICE custody.

That was a two-decade high.

The deaths have prompted calls for congressional investigations into conditions at federal detention centers and led to multiple lawsuits.
