US airstrikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean Sea are an "act of tyranny", Colombia's President Gustavo Petro told the BBC in an interview where he also called for criminal proceedings against US officials if investigations find Colombians were killed in the attacks.

Donald Trump has cast the strikes, which have reportedly killed 17 since they began this month, as needed to stop the flow of fentanyl and other illegal narcotics into the US.

Legal experts and lawmakers, though, have questioned if they violate international human rights laws.

"Why launch a missile if you could simply stop the boat and arrest the crew?" said Petro. "That's what one would call murder."

The object that hit a house in an eastern Polish village earlier this month was likely a missile fired by a Polish aircraft that was intended to shoot down Russian drones in the NATO-member's airspace, a government minister said on Wednesday.

Polish authorities initially said the home in the village of Wyryki-Wola had likely been hit by one of the 21 Russian drones that entered Poland's airspace on the night of September 9-10.

However, Rzeczpospolita daily reported on Tuesday, citing sources, that the house was hit by a missile fired from a Polish F-16 fighter jet whose guidance system malfunctioned.

"Everything indicates that it was a missile fired by our plane, defending Poland, defending the fatherland, defending our citizens," the Minister Responsible for Poland's Special Services Tomasz Siemoniak told TVN24.

On this week’s ‘We’re Not Kidding’ Mehdi Hasan sits down with award-winning Hollywood actor and activist Mark Ruffalo. For over two decades, Mark has been one of the most politically courageous actors in Hollywood, having spoken out against the fracking industry, US imperialism, Donald Trump, and the genocide in Gaza. Mark and Mehdi get into all of that, but first… Mehdi nerds out with some ‘Marvel’ movie questions.

The two talk about Mark’s political evolution, from being raised in a household with three different religions to getting involved in the anti-war movement during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. When discussing Trump’s second term and rising fascism here in the US, Mark doesn’t mince words when it comes to the tepid opposition from Democratic party leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.

Finally, Mehdi asks Mark about his years-long advocacy for Palestine and the elaborate “propaganda machine” deployed by Israel and its allies, as Mark is no stranger to being attacked for his pro-Palestine views. Now almost two years into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Mark gets deeply emotional when discussing the human cost of the conflict. “I'm a humanist, okay? What's happening there is inhumane,” Mark says. “It's f*cking heartbreaking, man.”
