Samsung unveils the new razor-thin Galaxy S25 Edge | The Independent | https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/gadgets-tech/phones-accessories/samsung-galaxy-s25-edge-b2749447.html | [

] | Samsung has just revealed its long-rumoured, ultra-thin smartphone, the Galaxy S25 Edge. Measuring just 5.8mm thin and weighing 163g, the S25 Edge is designed to be lightweight, powerful and durable, and uses a premium titanium chassis to protect its svelte proportions. The phone goes on sale on 30 May, starting at £1,099 for the 256GB model.
Unsurprisingly, the S25 Edge feels improbably thin. The 5.8mm body of the phone is interrupted only by a dual-lens camera array, smaller than that of the main S25 range, housing a 200MP main lens and 12MP ultrawide lens with macro capabilities. Hold it face on, and the S25 Edge is indistinguishable from the rest of the S25 line-up. Look at it from the side, and it’s barely there.
Even with limited space to work with, Samsung still promises flagship-grade specs. The S25 Edge runs on the custom-tuned Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, giving it comparable on-paper performance to the rest of the S25 range, including the full suite of Galaxy AI and features like audio eraser, generative edit, Gemini Live and filters.
Samsung has shaved off a few millimetres with a smaller-than-usual 3900mAh battery, which it says has been optimised to deliver all-day battery life and 24 hours of video playback time. The entry-level Galaxy S25 uses a slightly larger 4000mAh battery, and battery life wasn’t a huge concern there. It remains to be seen how the thinness of the S25 Edge will affect performance in other areas, particularly when it comes to heat management, one of the main reasons for slowed performance in smaller phones.
Heading off any concerns that the slim profile of the S25 Edge might make it more prone to damage, the phone uses Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 with enhanced crack resistance. Combined with the premium titanium materials previously seen on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the phone feels reassuringly rigid to hold.
On the back, the S25 Edge adopts Samsung's linear camera arrangement, maintaining a clean and instantly recognisable look. Samsung also touts the phone’s ProVisual image processing engine and enhanced “nightography” capabilities, promising improved performance in various lighting conditions, particularly challenging low-light scenarios.
Alongside the new ultra-thin phone, Samsung introduced the new Galaxy Club, a paid membership program bundling a bunch of benefits and discounts for Samsung fans. Members get an introductory offer of a £100 Klarna voucher off a new phone, zero per cent financing, damage protection and a guaranteed 50 per cent trade-in value when upgrading after 12 months.
The S25 Edge will be available in three finishes when it launches on 30 May: titanium silver, titanium jet black and titanium icy blue. Two models are available at launch: a 256GB version for £1,099 and a 512GB version for £1,199.
Samsung isn’t alone in its mission to make very thin phones. Apple is rumoured to be working on a super-thin iPhone, speculatively called the iPhone Air, which one leaker suggested could measure as little as 5.5mm thick.

El Partido Popular ha denunciado ante la Comisión Europea el apagón generalizado en España de la semana pasada, en una carta en la que pregunta al Ejecutivo comunitario sobre distintos aspectos de ese acontecimiento y sus implicaciones en la política energética de toda ... la UE. Esta es solo la última de una larga lista de al menos una decena de cartas enviadas a la Comisión sobre distintos aspectos de la situación política en España que pueden entrar en conflicto con la legislación europea y que se intentan orientar hacia un campo más para ejercer labores de oposición en España.
No es infrecuente que los partidos políticos utilicen a las instituciones europeas en sus debates nacionales, pero en los últimos años, España es probablemente el país de origen de una de las mayores ofensivas de este tipo, sobre todo desde que al comienzo de esta legislatura el presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, cambió de opinión y se abrió a tramitar una ley de amnistía que hasta entonces él mismo consideraba como inconstitucional.
En aquellos meses, hasta los funcionarios de la dirección general de Justicia se sintieron abrumados por la avalancha de cartas desde todos los sectores de la sociedad pidiendo que se impidiera la puesta en marcha de aquella medida. A pesar de que la Comisión no pudo pararla, el Partido Popular ha mantenido esta legislatura europea una actitud muy activa a la hora de enviar cartas con preguntas escritas cuyo objetivo es incitar a la Comisión a pronunciarse y, al mismo tiempo, dejar constancia de lo que está sucediendo en España.
Las cartas con preguntas escritas han tratado desde temas tan estrictamente domésticos como el procedimiento judicial contra el fiscal general del Estado o el cambio de las reglas de elección del consejo de RTVE o tan europeas como el nunca explicado uso de los fondos de recuperación.
Delegación numerosa
Fuentes del Partido Popular han asegurado que a pesar de su elección como secretaria general del Partido Popular Europeo (PPE), Dolors Montserrat, que ha estado en el origen de casi todas las iniciativas, seguirá alentando esta política de denunciar en Bruselas la actitud de Pedro Sánchez al frente del Gobierno, aun sabiendo que la mayor parte de estas acciones no tendrán apenas consecuencias prácticas.
Esencialmente, Sánchez se ha beneficiado del hecho de que la delegación socialista española ha sido la más importante o la segunda en numero de diputados, solo por detrás de la alemana, y que el presidente del Gobierno ha utilizado esta condición para hablar muchas veces en nombre del grupo de gobiernos de centro izquierda en el Consejo Europeo. También la logrado mantener a Iratxe García como portavoz del grupo socialista en el Parlamento Europeo, que es un puesto de una gran importancia a la hora de decidir si un determinado asunto nacional llega o no al pleno del Parlamento.
Sin embargo, las cartas que el PP ha enviado a la Comisión con preguntas sobre los ataques de miembros del Gobierno a los jueces o las distintas iniciativas legislativas como la propuesta de la llamada 'ley Begoña' por estar hecha a medida de la situación procesal de la esposa de Pedro Sánchez, los intentos de eliminar la figura de los jueces de instrucción o las ideas de fiscalizar a los medios de comunicación han llegado a la Comisión Europea no solamente a través de lo que le pueda comunicar su delegación en España, sino directamente desde la delegación del PP en el Parlamento Europeo.
Naturalmente, la Comisión no puede entrar en todos los asuntos nacionales que le hacen llegar los distintos actores políticos o no tendría capacidad para ocuparse de los que son de su competencia. Sin embargo, no podrá decir que los ignora en la redacción del informe anual sobre el Estado de derecho en los países miembros que se publicará antes del verano. | 2025-05-07T06:29:55Z | false |

La fiscalía ha pedido seis años de cárcel para un detenido por vender droga en Albacete que arrastraba diversas condenas desde 2019 por delitos de falsedad documental. El juicio tendrá lugar el próximo lunes, 12 de mayo, en la Sala Segunda de la Audiencia Provincial de Albacete.
Según el texto de la Fiscalía, los hechos por los que se detuvo al acusado en Albacete se remontan, al 15 de mayo de 2024, cuando el acusado arrendó una vivienda a través de la plataforma Airbnb con un DNI robado el año anterior. Al día siguiente fue sorprendido en el patio de luces de la vivienda con una mochila que contenía más de siete gramos de ketamina, dos gramos de MDMA, más de dos gramos de cloro metcatinona, droga también conocida como sales de baño, más de tres gramos de metanfetaminas y casi un gramo de alfa-PHP, sustancia que fue prohibida en España en 2023.
El principal acusado, G.R.M., se dedicaba a la compra de cocaína a proveedores no identificados, que posteriormente preparaba en dosis para su venta a terceros desde su domicilio en El Torno
En total, los distintos estupefacientes alcanzaban un valor estimado en el mercado ilícito de más de 770 euros, que la Fiscalía ha estipulado que planeaba vender a terceros.
Por el delito contra la salud pública la acusación ha pedido cuatro años y medio de prisión y una multa de 2.100 euros, mientras que por el delito de falsificación de documento oficial ha exigido otro año y medio, además de una multa de 12 euros diarios durante nueve meses.
El acusado estaba además condenado por diversos delitos de falsedad documental y estafa en Donosti, Barcelona, León, Madrid, Asturias, Álava, Murcia, Córdoba, Ciudad Real y Alicante sucedidos desde 2019 hasta 2023 y cuyas condenas acumuladas de más de siete años de prisión estaban pendientes de condena. | 2025-05-10T12:07:11Z | true |

Apagón de luz en Sevilla, en directo: última hora de los cortes e incidencias en Andalucía
La Confederación Provincial de Comercio, Servicios y Autónomos de Sevilla (Aprocom) ha avisado a los locales comerciales sobre la importancia de «revisar la póliza del seguro para reclamar a la compañía el lucro cesante», es decir, la estimación de las pérdidas que han tenido durante las horas que ha durado el apagón en la capital hispalense.
Según ha informado el presidente de Aprocom en declaraciones a Europa Press, Tomás González, «ya se está consultado con el cuerpo jurídico los pasos a seguir en esta situación», señalando que «hasta que no se sepan las causas que provocaron el apagón« que golpeaba durante la jornada de este lunes en toda España y Portugal, »no se va a poder llevar a cabo ninguna reclamación«.
Además, ha subrayado que «es importante que los locales comerciales revisen sus pólizas para saber si contemplan el lucro cesante y en ese caso, recopilar información a dos años vista en materia de ventas para calcular las pérdidas y se pueda optar a una indemnización«. Una situación que ha afectado a numerosos pequeños comercios que ayer tuvieron que echar el cierre o incluso quedarse en el interior de ellos al no poder activar la alarma de seguridad.
De este modo, el presidente de Aprocom ha declarado que «también se está trabajando en una reclamación global de la que, cuando se sepa más, se informará a los comerciantes sevillanos». González ha recordado que la reclamación global ya se llevó a cabo en Sevilla «cuando un apagón de la red de Endesa a principios de siglo afectó a todos los comercios«.
Muchos alimentos se han tenido que tirar
Por su parte, desde la Asociación de Hosteleros de Sevilla han trasladado que las pérdidas «se irán valorando en un balance los próximos días» con alimentos perecederos que se han tenido que tirar y cancelaciones de reservas en las zonas donde el suministro eléctrico no estuvo disponible hasta la madrugada.
Finalmente, han trasladado que «estamos centrados en echar una mano a quien lo necesite», destacando la labor de un grupo de hosteleros que durante la madrugada de este martes «han llevado más de 300 bocadillos, agua, galletas y snacks a las personas que estaban en las inmediaciones de la Estación de Santa Justa«. | 2025-04-29T11:46:34Z | true |
Majid Jamshidi Doukoshkan released from prison on bail as Girrawheen couple Ninette and Philip live in fear | The West Australian | https://thewest.com.au/news/wa/majid-jamshidi-doukoshkan-released-from-prison-on-bail-as-girrawheen-couple-ninette-and-philip-live-in-fear--c-18473668 | [] | [

] | A former immigration detainee who caused national outrage when he allegedly bashed an elderly couple in their Girrawheen home has been released from prison while his alleged victims live behind bars of their own.
Ninette and Philip Simons have fortified their property, building a giant spiked fence around the entirety of their home. A second barrier protects their front door, while CCTV cameras and roller doors on their windows have also been installed.
They say they continue to live in fear after they were brutally attacked and robbed in April last year.
On Thursday, one of the men allegedly involved in the home invasion — Majid Jamshidi Doukoshkan — was released from prison on home detention bail.
As part of his release, the 44-year-old Iranian refugee, who was one of the non-citizens released into the community after the High Court ruled indefinite detention was unlawful in 2023, will have to wear an ankle bracelet.
He is also banned from consuming drugs or alcohol and has surrendered his passport.
Prosecutors did not oppose home detention bail.
Ms Simons, 74, said she was “appalled” by the court’s decision.
“This is shocking . . . it feels like no one cares,” she told 7NEWS.
“We can’t live our lives the way we had planned.
“I’m scared to even go out in the front yard.”
Even her kids and grandchildren are scared to visit her property, Ms Simons said.
Mr Doukoshkan, who denies the allegations, is one of four people charged over the home invasion, along with Joel Painter, Seyed Younes Tahami and Emmy Signo, who is accused of being the getaway driver.
“If they (the accused) put themselves in our shoes, if it was any of their relatives, how would they feel?” Ms Simons said.
Police allege the group posed as police officers to gain entry into the Simons’ Girrawheen home before stealing about $200,000 in gold jewellery.
The grandmother was allegedly punched unconscious onto the tile floor and had a necklace torn off her, while her husband was pushed to the ground face first, then had his hands bound by cables.
A shocking image of her bloodied and swollen face was released with the couple’s permission by WA Police as they investigated the attack.
Ms Signo, 49, was charged with aggravated home burglary, aggravated robbery and impersonating a public officer for her alleged part in the theft. She has pleaded not guilty to the offences.
Co-accused Mr Painter, 36, is yet to enter pleas and remains behind bars.
Seyed Younes Tahami, 39, has also not entered pleas and is currently on bail, due back in court on May 2. | 2025-04-24T11:02:59Z | false |

Stop giving student loans to those who will never repay them | The Telegraph | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/jobs/schools-universities/stop-giving-student-loans-to-those-who-will-never-repay/ | [

] | You might imagine that student loans – now a familiar feature of young people’s lives – are actually loans. It’s true that the Government will write them off if not repaid after 30 or 40 years, but surely the 2010 settlement was designed to fund higher education by loans, not grants? Maybe that was the intention, but it’s not what has happened...
If you started at university on or after September 2012 but before September 2023, you would have been offered a “Plan 2” student loan. Its key characteristics are that you repay the loan at a rate of 9pc of your future annual pay over a threshold (around £25,000, but variable), and interest accrues on the balance of your debt at the Retail Price Index (RPI) + 3pc.
Borrowers don’t pay interest as it accrues – they just pay 9pc of their pay over the threshold, and the interest rolls up and compounds in the loan. Any outstanding balance left on the 30th anniversary of your leaving university is written-off by the Government without any effect on the borrower’s finances or credit rating.
Early on in the life of Plan 2 loans, the Government realised that a significant percentage of loans would never be paid off because the interest rate was too high to allow modestly paid graduates’ repayments to cover the compounding interest. The relatively high salary threshold for starting to repay (double the tax threshold), and the reality that many modern graduates do not go into high-paying careers meant this effect was exaggerated. It’s an odd system, but this is how it had been designed (by Messrs Cameron and Clegg in 2010).
Once the Government realised that a significant proportion of the loans would not be repaid, it became clear that the Government was, in effect, paying a proportion of undergraduate students’ fees and maintenance from the public purse.
So, under pressure from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) and the National Audit Office, the Government statisticians at the Office of National Statistics (ONS) recommended that only a proportion of student loans be categorised as “loans”, and treated as assets on the Government’s balance sheet; while the remaining portion, even though formally Plan 2 loans, should be accounted for as public expenditure on higher education in the year in which the student took out the loan.
This was called the partition principle: splitting each cohort into loans on the one hand, and grants to students on the other.
When this new accounting treatment was adopted in September 2019, it increased public spending (through accounting some of the loans as grants), and hence increased public sector deficit and net debt, even though nothing had changed in the cash changing hands and what students thought they owed.
The impact on public debt was huge – the ONS reported in 2020 that the impact of re-calculating the end-March 2019 Public Sector Net Financial Liabilities (PSNFL – the Chancellor’s preferred new measure of public sector debt) was a debt increase of £55.9bn.
In their 2020 calculation of the 2018-2019 financial year, what proportion of student loans were the Government statisticians expecting to be written off, and hence were treated as current expenditure rather than a loan? The answer is astonishingly high – 52pc.
Government statisticians had studied loan repayment rates and overall graduate participation in the UK labour market for the previous 20 years. They concluded not just that 52pc of loans would not be fully repaid in 30 years’ time, but that writing off 52pc of the loans at the point they are loaned – which includes writing off all the future interest that would have been accrued, and also all the repayments that these loans will still attract – means that about half of all the money supposedly loaned is in fact going to turn out to be a grant, not a loan.
But here’s an oddity. Students themselves are certainly not being told that half of all student loans are being written off as they are granted. So all students are still being discouraged by the 9pc “tax” rate that will be applied to their earnings for 30 years; and indeed no loans are actually being cancelled – everyone still has to pay.
Which brings us to another anomaly. The Student Loans Company (SLC) isn’t concerned with how the Government is treating loans at the national fiscal level. It is concerned with accurately recording the student loans that are outstanding. So the SLC reports that the outstanding loan balance at March 31 2024 is £236bn. By contrast, the Government reports that the assets it deems to be student loans are valued at only £158bn.
This is not the end of the story. From September 2023, new student loans became Plan 5. This had two very significant differences from Plan 2. Firstly, the Plan 5 interest rate is just RPI, not RPI + 3pc p.a. This enormously reduces (by about half) the speed of accumulation of interest, and hence debt, run up by students. Secondly, Plan 5 debt is written off 40 years after graduation, not 30 years.
With the lower interest rate, and the longer period for repayment, the forecast of un-repaid debt at maturity falls dramatically. This has a large knock-on effect on the Government’s fiscal position, increasing its student loan asset accumulation, and reducing current public expenditure (the c. 50pc write-off) that it was booking to current account.
The effects of what seems like somewhat esoteric changes are in fact large in public spending terms: the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) forecasts that the proportion of loans treated as current expenditure will fall from 61pc in 2021-22 (under Plan 2) to 34pc in 2026-27. Since student loans advanced in 2023-24 totalled £19.9bn, that is an apparent fall of 27pc (61pc-34pc), or just over £5bn. All at the stroke of a pen.
The Government itself can’t agree on the valuations to place on written-off debt, because the calculation is sensitive to interest rates and other assumptions, and they can’t agree on the appropriate interest rate. So the Department of Education and the Office National Statistics work with differing numbers in the government accounts. Hence you may have noticed that both 52pc and 61pc were presented above as the scale of the loan write-offs. Different years; different methodology.
Instead of this muddle, and the strong disincentive that the 9pc tax rate has on the graduate workforce, wouldn’t it be better to give grants to those that need them, and smaller volumes of loans, with no write-off, to those who would be able to afford them? And perhaps a smaller proportion of the cohort going to university? | 2025-04-19T06:00:00Z | true |

Doctor ballot for strike action is ‘premature’ and ‘unnecessary’, says Streeting | The Independent | https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/wes-streeting-nhs-health-secretary-government-british-medical-association-b2745540.html | [

] | A ballot for strike action by NHS resident doctors is “premature” and “unnecessary”, the Health Secretary has said, though he indicated they would not get the pay rise they are asking for.
Wes Streeting said the British Medical Association (BMA), which announced the ballot on Friday, should wait for the pay offer from the Government, which he expects to be within the next few weeks.
He told Times Radio: “Firstly, it’s disappointing that the ballot for strike action is going out before they’ve received their pay offer.
“And I think when resident doctors see the pay offer they will see that we are moving in the right direction, that we are responding to the, I think, quite genuine and real anxieties that they feel about the level of pay, about the conditions they’re working in and also about their prospects for career progression.
“They’ve actually got a Health Secretary and a Government that is actually quite sympathetic to the pressures that they’re facing.”
Mr Streeting said he had spent time talking to doctors on the front line who are at the early stages of their career “and I’ve been really struck by how anxious and pessimistic people are feeling at the start of their career, when they should be feeling optimistic and confident”.
But he added: “What they’re actually asking for in terms of full pay restoration… I met with them last week, and I said to them: ‘In all honesty, asking for around RPI plus 8% or 9% – I can’t honestly say we’ll be able to deliver that year-on-year’.
“But they could also judge us by action not just our words – within weeks of (Labour) coming in (to office) they got that generous pay deal which ended (last year’s) strikes.”
Mr Streeting said the Government wanted to work “in partnership” with all staff in the NHS.
“So I think this ballot is unnecessary, I think it’s premature, and I think when resident doctors receive their pay offer, they will see this is a Government that is moving their pay, their conditions and their career progression in the right direction,” he said.
Asked on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme what he would say to doctors considering industrial action, Mr Streeting replied: “We haven’t made the pay offer yet, so I would just say to the BMA, hold your horses for a moment, wait until you get the pay offer.
“Then make a decision about where you think we are.”
Of Labour’s mission, he said: “We know that the NHS is in jeopardy, not just because of the scale of the crisis we inherited, but because we have political opponents in Reform and the Conservative Party who do not even believe in the NHS.
“(Reform UK leader) Nigel Farage said very clearly during the election campaign, he does not believe in a taxpayer-funded NHS.
“Work with the party of the NHS to help us fix the NHS, get it back on its feet, make it fit for the future, so that you as resident doctors can get real job satisfaction and the great career that you want.
“I cannot fix the NHS on my own.
“I can only do it with that NHS team and it takes a team to turn it around, and we can only do that if doctors are on the front line, not the picket line.”
On Friday, the BMA said three weeks had passed since it warned the Government of the “consequences of the absence of a reasonable, timely pay offer”.
Its ballot for industrial action will open on May 27 and closes on July 7.
Resident doctor is the new term for junior doctor and refers to more than 50,000 qualified doctors working in GP practices and hospitals, from graduates to medics with a decade of experience.
The BMA says basic pay for resident doctors has fallen by 22.3% in real terms since 2008/2009.
The figure is based on Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation, the measure of average changes in the price of goods and services used by most households.
Resident doctor members of the BMA have taken industrial action 11 times since 2022.
NHS England estimates the walkouts led to almost 1.5 million appointments being cancelled or rescheduled.
In September, BMA members voted to accept a Government pay deal worth 22.3% on average over two years.
The deal included a pay rise of between 3.71% and 5.05% – averaging 4.05% – for resident doctors, on top of an existing pay award for 2023/24, which was backdated to April 2023.
Each part of the pay scale was uplifted by 6%, plus £1,000, as recommended by the Review Body on Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration, with an effective date of April 1 2024. | 2025-05-06T09:19:37Z | true |

Esta mañana hemos amanecido con la noticia de que la pandemia de Covid-19 acumuló el jueves un nuevo récord mundial de contagios , con unos 227.000, y el balance global de enfermos supera ya los 12,2 millones, de los cuales más de 550.000 han perdido la vida desde que se detectaron los primeros positivos en 2019 en la ciudad china de Wuhan.
El brote, que se ha extendido hasta la fecha por 188 países y territorios, tiene en Estados Unidos su principal exponente, ya que acumula 3,1 millones de infectados y más de 133.000 muertes. El país norteamericano alcanzó el jueves un nuevo récord de contagios: unos 63.200, según la Universidad Johns Hopkins.
Sin embargo, no todo son malas noticias. Para seguir viendo el vaso medio lleno en tiempos como los que corren, y como cada tarde, ABC acerca a sus lectores las tres informaciones positivas sobre el coronavirus que han marcado la jornada de hoy.
1. Illa asegura que la vacuna contra el coronavirus llegará el segundo trimestre de 2021. El ministro de Sanidad, Salvador Illa, ha pronosticado este viernes que en algún momento del año que viene, «muy probablemente en el segundo trimestre», estará disponible una o varias vacunas contra el coronavirus con garantías y calidad suficiente para poder ser administradas a la población.
El ministro ha apuntado que estos plazos podrían atrasarse o avanzarse en función de los distintos procesos que afectan el desarollo de los tratamientos. Con todo, ha situado el horizonte temporal en la primavera de 2021 y ha asegurado que los países de la Unión Europea se están coordinando para negociar conjuntamente y repartir equitativamente las vacunas.
2. Las células madre de la grasa mejoran el pronóstico en pacientes con Covid-19. Investigadores españoles han visto que una terapia con células madre de la grasa mejora el pronóstico en pacientes con covid-19. La investigación, que se acaba de publicar en EClinicalMedicine, revista que pertenece al grupo The Lancet, muestra que una terapia celular con células madre procedentes del tejido adiposo para el tratamiento de pacientes críticos de covid-19, que se ha aplicado mediante un programa de uso compasivo, reduce en el 75% de los pacientes tratados la inflamación y aumenta la actividad de su sistema inmunitario.
Los pacientes incluidos en este estudio se han tratado en cuatro centros espaloles: Fundación Jiménez Díaz, la Clínica Universidad de Navarra, el Hospital Universitario de Salamanca y el Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón.
3. El Mobile reafirma su compromiso con España y anuncia una edición para 2021 «sin contacto». El director de la GSMA, organizadora del Mobile World Congress (MWC), Mats Granryd, ha explicado este jueves que trabajan para que la edición de 2021 sea una edición "sin contacto" para garantizar la salud y seguridad de los asistentes frente a la pandemia del coronavirus.
«Siempre hemos priorizado la salud y la seguridad. Pero ahora estas medidas deben ir más allá. Nuestro objetivo es un MWC sin contacto. Para ello, se deben hacer ajustes a cada paso. Desde la experiencia en el aeropuerto, al registro online, a una entrada "contactless" y ajustar los espacios. Nuestros equipos ya trabajan en ello», ha expresado Granryd. | 2020-07-10T15:24:03Z | true |

] | The man accused of orchestrating the Dural caravan terror hoax has denied any links to a spate of anti-Semitic attacks in Sydney, but has admitted he intercepted the explosives and was attempting to use the plot to negotiate with the Australian Federal Police.
Sayit Ehan Akca, who fled Australia in 2023 after being charged with conspiring to import a commercial quantity of illicit drugs, spoke exclusively with Four Corners about the allegations he was the “mastermind” behind the fake Sydney caravan terror plot.
On the show on Monday, he confirmed he played a role in sourcing the explosives to offer the Australian Federal Police, so that he could negotiate re-entering the country and receiving bail upon return to Australia.
Akca said that he told the AFP: “Look, I’ve got information on a movement of explosives. I can seize it and I can hand it over”.
According to Akca, the response from the AFP was: “That’s good. That’ll get you home”.
Akca coordinated with local contacts for information on explosives movements in Sydney, and offered a trade deal to the AFP in December last year.
“I sort of just asked a few people that I knew might have knowledge,” he said
He quite cryptically claimed he “didn’t organise the caravan”, he “just organised the seizure of it”, but did admit he decided where to leave it.
“I actually picked Dural and I just told the driver that I had intercepted to do the seizure off to just put it in a safe spot that we selected off that map,” he said.
Akca was adamant that the explosives in the caravan were never intended to explode.
“My clear instruction was ‘make sure this is not gonna explode’,” he said.
However, he did acknowledge the risk in leaving the highly dangerous material in a public area.
“If this ends up in the wrong hands or if a kid opens that door or if cops don’t react to it fast enough … There’s so many ways this could go wrong,” he said, describing his anxieties at the time.
“What if the wrong agency found it and it had the detonators ready to go?”
He also denied he was knew about the note found inside the caravan that listed Jewish buildings and locations.
“Yeah, if I knew that was there, I would have taken it out,” he said.
Akca said that he told the AFP where the explosives were, but was worried when the caravan was rapidly seized that his plan had been thwarted.
“I was looking for more explosives …’Cause I thought I may as well start looking for another set,” he said.
Akca also repeatedly denied any links to a wave of anti-Semitic attacks that have plagued Sydney.
When asked by Four Corners reporter Mahmood Fazal if he had any involvement in the arson attack on the Only About Children centre on Storey Street in Maroubra, which was also spray painted with anti-Semitic graffiti, he said he thought it was “disturbing” and denied any connection.
“There’s kids that go there. Like … what do their parents tell them? What do they grow up thinking? That someone just blew up their school?,” he asked.
“I’m trying to go back to see my son. Does it make sense to attack a school or a childcare, and traumatise 100 kids?”
He said the claims he was behind the anti-Semitic attacks offended him, because “anyone that really knows me – they’d know that I would never, ever take bread off someone’s table”.
“Yeah, I got pretty offended by a couple of them because I know that’s just not my core values,” he said.
“I go to a mosque, and God is God.” | 2025-05-05T22:05:57Z | false |

Fans können sich auf einen Kinostart im Jahr 2027 freuen.
Los Angeles - „Herr der Ringe“-Fans müssen sich bis Dezember 2027 auf eine weitere Fortsetzung der Mittelerde-Saga gedulden. Das Hollywood-Studio Warner Bros. hat nun den Kinostart von „Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum“ für diesen Termin angekündigt. Das Projekt war im vorigen Jahr verkündet worden, zunächst mit einer geplanten Veröffentlichung im Jahr 2026. Frühere „Herr der Ringe“-Filme unter der Regie von Peter Jackson waren auch jeweils zu Weihnachten auf der Leinwand erschienen.
Der Neuseeländer Jackson, der die „Der Herr der Ringe“-Trilogie inszeniert hatte, ist gemeinsam mit seiner Ehefrau Fran Walsh als Produzent dabei. Regie führt jetzt aber der britische Schauspieler und Regisseur Andy Serkis (61), der in früheren „Herr der Ringe“- und „Hobbit“-Folgen die Figur Gollum spielte. Er ist auch als Hauptdarsteller an Bord.
Serkis gab 2018 mit dem Liebesdrama „Solange ich atme“ sein Regiedebüt. Danach inszenierte er die Filme „Mogli: Legende des Dschungels“ und „Venom: Let There Be Carnage“.
Die Fantasy-Saga „Herr der Ringe“ des britischen Schriftstellers J.R.R. Tolkien war die Vorlage für Jacksons dreiteilige Verfilmung: „Die Gefährten“ (2001), „Die zwei Türme“ (2002) und „Die Rückkehr des Königs“ (2003). Die Filme räumten viele Oscars ab, allein elf Auszeichnungen gingen an „Die Rückkehr des Königs“. Jackson inszenierte auch drei „Hobbit“-Filme, die zwischen 2012 und 2014 ins Kino kamen. | 2025-05-08T22:45:00Z | true |

] | U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently announced that during President Donald Trump's first 100 days of his second term, the agency arrested more than 66,000 illegal immigrants and removed more than 65,000.
ICE arrested 66,463 illegal immigrants and removed 65,682, including those accused of threatening public safety and national security, according to a news release from ICE.
Three in four arrests of illegal immigrants involved someone accused of committing a crime, according to the agency.
"The brave men and women of ICE protect our families, friends and neighbors by removing public safety and national security threats from our communities," ICE acting director Todd M. Lyons wrote in a statement.
The total number of ICE illegal immigrant arrests includes 2,288 gang members from Tren de Aragua, MS-13, 18th Street and other gangs, Lyons said.
Tren de Aragua and MS-13 are now listed as foreign terrorist organizations.
Additionally, 1,329 were accused or convicted of sex offenses, and 498 were accused or convicted of murder, according to ICE.
The criminal records of those arrested include convictions or charges for 9,639 assaults, 6,398 DWIs or DUIs and 1,479 weapon offenses, according to the release.
Arrests and removals surged with help from state and local law enforcement agencies through the 287(g) Program, which allows local authorities to enforce federal immigration laws.
ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations directorate has nearly 600 pending and signed agreements with police departments and sheriff’s offices across the nation, demonstrating the effectiveness of a whole-of-government approach to immigration enforcement, according to the release.
Since Jan. 20, there have been 444 new 287(g) agreements nationwide.
Even still, with about 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., the current 65,682 deportations would account for just 0.59%.
Officials said ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), which also focuses on transnational crime and threats, has been zeroing in on worksite operations to protect American businesses.
Since Jan. 20, HSI has arrested more than 1,000 workers who were illegal immigrants, and proposed over $1 million in fines against businesses that hire illegal employees.
"This agency has set the bar on arrests and removals while upholding its national security mission," ICE deputy director Madison D. Sheahan wrote in a statement. "Last week, HSI broke up a human smuggling ring that's allegedly responsible for bringing between 500 and 700 illegal aliens into the U.S. every year — aliens that the U.S. government never vetted. Our communities are becoming safer each day thanks to President Trump and Secretary [Kristi] Noem's leadership."
Illegal immigrant encounters are down by 95%, while illegal crossings plunged to levels last seen in the 1960s, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the White House.
The number of illegal immigrants who "got away" from immigration enforcement officers is down 99%, with a 655% spike in arrests of suspected terrorists, CBP and the White House said.
There are now an additional 85 miles of new border barriers. | 2025-04-29T20:16:01Z | false |

El exministro de Justicia socialista y Defensor del Pueblo Enrique Múgica ha muerto ayer viernes a los 88 años de edad, fallecimiento que ha lamentando «con enorme tristeza» el PSOE a través de las redes sociales.
En un tuit el PSOE alaba al político vasco como «un gran defensor de la democracia, jurista y político, precursor y una de las personalidades más relevantes del socialismo».
Abogado, exministro de Justicia y también defensor del Pueblo, Enrique Múgica nació en San Sebastián en 20 de febrero 1932, se afilió inicialmente en 1953 al Partido Comunista y estuvo preso en la cárcel de Carabanchel por la represión franquista.
A causa de su actividad política volvió a ser detenido en 1959 y en 1962. Ese año fue condenado en Consejo de Guerra a 6 años de prisión. Cumplió 22 meses de condena. Durante su estancia en la cárcel abandonó el PCE por discrepancias ideológicas, y se afilió al PSOE. Pasaría cuatro veces por la cárcel lo que sumó dos años y medio de prisión.
Miembro de la Comisión Ejecutiva socialista desde 1967, en 1974 fue elegido secretario de Coordinación del PSOE en el Congreso de Suresnes y en representación de su partido, formó parte activa de la Plataforma de Convergencia Democrática (1974-76) y de la Coordinadora Democrática, órgano unitario de oposición al franquismo.
En el Congreso de 1976 y en el Extraordinario de septiembre de 1979 fue elegido secretario de Relaciones Políticas de la Ejecutiva Federal socialista. En las primeras elecciones democráticas, del 1 de marzo de 1977, fue elegido diputado del PSOE por Guipúzcoa , renovando su escaño por el mismo partido y la misma circunscripción en los sucesivos comicios hasta el año 2000.
El 8 de julio de 1988, fue nombrado ministro de Justicia en el Gobierno de Felipe González, sustituyendo a Fernando Ledesma. Múgica ocupando el cargo hasta marzo de 1991. El 6 de febrero de 1996, en plena campaña para las elecciones generales del 3 de marzo, ETA asesinó a su hermano Fernado Múgica.
En las elecciones de marzo de 2000 volvió a ser elegido diputado socialista, pero fue propuesto por el PP para el cargo de Defensor del Pueblo y el 15 de junio de 2000 tomó posesión, tras obtener el apoyo del Parlamento. Abandonó por este nombramiento la militancia socialista y renunció a su escaño en el que fue sustituido por Elvira Cortajarena.
El 17 de octubre de 2006, en una iniciativa sin precedentes, la Mesa del Congreso acordó admitir a trámite una iniciativa parlamentaria de IU-ICV, para reprobar y pedir su cese como Defensor del Pueblo, por haber recurrido al Tribunal Constitucional el Estatuto catalán, el 19 de septiembre. Dicha iniciativa fue rechazada en 2007 por la Comisión Mixta de Relaciones con el Defensor del Pueblo con el voto de PSOE, PP y CC.
El 30 de junio de 2010, coincidiendo con la expiración de su segundo mandato, cesó en el cargo y fue sustituido de forma interina por María Luisa Cava de Llano. | 2020-04-11T00:11:36Z | true |
Ringgit rebounds as govt response to US tariffs lifts market confidence | Malay Mail | https://www.malaymail.com/news/money/2025/05/05/ringgit-rebounds-as-govt-response-to-us-tariffs-lifts-market-confidence/175681 | [

] | KUALA LUMPUR, May 5 — The ringgit ended higher against the US dollar at the close on Monday, amid the government’s response towards the impact of the reciprocal tariff from the United States (US), said an analyst.
At 6pm, the ringgit surged to 4.1990/2035 against the greenback, compared to last Friday’s close of 4.2560/2600.
Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said today’s special parliamentary meeting indicated that the government is being pragmatic in dealing with the tariff shocks enacted by US President Donald Trump.
“The session suggests that the government has acknowledged the fact that the tariff shocks are expected to impact the economy significantly, and they are ready to take necessary steps to mitigate the impact.
“It demonstrates the government’s resolve to be forthcoming in their communication to the public. So, to some degree, this could help contribute to the confidence in our economy and the government and ultimately our ringgit,” he told Bernama.
Additionally, Mohd Afzanizam said that the better-than-expected non-farm payroll last Friday failed to resuscitate the value of the US dollar, with the US Dollar Index (DXY) continuing to linger at around 99 points.
SPI Asset Management managing partner Stephen Innes said a mix of regional optimism and domestic developments buoyed the ringgit’s positive performance.
He said at the regional level, renewed hopes of a US-China tariff resolution have sparked a broad-based re-rating of Asian currencies, giving a notable boost to the ringgit.
“The broader dollar softening and an uptick in onshore demand for ringgit assets, and the conditions were ripe for a squeeze.
“The ringgit’s move is part fundamental, part flow-driven. And if the trade thaw narrative gains traction, it could extend,” he added.
At the close, the ringgit traded higher against a basket of major currencies.
It rose versus the Japanese yen to 2.9192/9225 from 2.9437/9467 at Friday’s close, strengthened vis-a-vis the euro to 4.7629/7680 from 4.8297/8342 previously, and improved against the British pound to 5.5868/5928 from 5.6639/6692.
Similarly, the ringgit performed better against its Asean peers.
It was higher versus the Singapore dollar at 3.2644/2682 compared to Friday’s close of 3.2862/2898 and gained vis-a-vis the Thai baht to 12.7497/7747 from 12.8697/8903.
The local note also improved against the Philippine peso to 7.53/7.54 from 7.65/7.67 on Friday and appreciated versus the Indonesian rupiah to 255.1/255.5 from 258.8/259.3. — Bernama | 2025-05-05T11:14:47Z | true |

Nach einer intensiven Einheit im Kraftraum falle ihm das Treppensteigen zuweilen schon etwas schwer. «Aber die Hüfte, das Knie und der Schulterbereich sind mega stabil, es fühlt sich gut an», sagt Armon Orlik. Am Sonntag endet für den Bündner wie für viele andere Schwinger die Zeit der Vorbereitungswettkämpfe. Es geht endlich um die Kränze.
Zeitgleich werden drei Kantonalfeste ausgetragen: Das Solothurner Kantonale in Grenchen, das Zuger Kantonale in Neuheim und das Thurgauer Kantonale in Thundorf, wo Orlik die Bündner Delegation anführen wird. In den Jahren 2016, 2017 und 2019 hatte der Maienfelder das Thurgauer jeweils gewonnen. Nach einer gelungenen Vorbereitung brennt der 29-Jährige auf das erste Kranzfest.
«Man hat das Bedürfnis, jetzt endlich Resultate abzuliefern», sagt Orlik. Und weil es den anderen auch so gehe, herrsche beim Auftakt in die Kranzfest-Saison jeweils immer eine gewisse Anspannung. «Alle wollen dabei sein, einen ersten Kranz machen, schon einmal ein gutes Resultat einfahren, um auch eine gewisse Lockerheit aufzubauen.»
In Mollis soll es nicht wie in Appenzell laufen
Gerade in einer Saison, an deren Höhepunkt Ende August das Eidgenössische Schwing- und Älplerfest steht, spielt der Aufbau des Selbstvertrauens eine nicht unwesentliche Rolle. Nach der vergangenen Saison ist dieses bei den Nordostschweizer Schwingern etwas angeknackst. «Was letztes Jahr in Appenzell passiert ist, hatte niemand gern. Das war etwas schwer zu verdauen», sagt Orlik dazu.
Rückblick: Am Appenzeller Jubiläumsschwingfest, dem letzten Anlass mit eidgenössischem Charakter, setzte es für die Schwinger des NOSV eine schmerzhafte Niederlage ab. Mit Überraschungsmann Fabio Hiltbrunner und Fabian Staudenmann wurden zwei Berner Co-Festsieger. Orlik klassierte sich nach der Niederlage im Schlussgang als bester Nordostschweizer auf Rang 3a – hinter drei und vor vier weiteren Bernern.
Eine solche Gäste-Dominanz wie im September soll es Ende August am ESAF in Mollis nicht noch einmal geben. Auch von Seiten des Verbandes habe man reagiert, erzählt Orlik. «Man will etwas daraus lernen, das Team stärken und als geschlossene Mannschaft auftreten.» So soll es gelingen, das «Berner Bollwerk» in dieser Saison zu durchbrechen.
Orlik selbst war bereits einmal nahe dran am Königstitel, als er 2016 am ESAF in Estavayer als 21-jähriger Shootingstar der Schwingszene im Schlussgang stand. Die Krönung blieb damals aus. Mit Matthias Glarner stand ihm – Sie ahnen es – ein Berner vor der Sonne. | 2025-05-02T14:25:57Z | true |

] | Alex de Minaur's 50th tour-level quarter-final has ended in defeat, the Australian No.1 beaten 7-5 6-3 in 100 minutes by defending champion Carlos Alcaraz at the Barcelona Open.
De Minaur began well, breaking the top seed in the third game before taking a 3-1 lead, and breaking again in the seventh after Alcaraz had broken back. But the Spaniard took four of the last five games to claim the set.
The second stanza went with serve apart from the sixth game in which Alcaraz secured the crucial break despite de Minaur twice serving for the game.
The victory gives Alcaraz a 4-0 record against de Minaur who had been bidding for a second successive claycourt semi-final having reached the last four at the Monte Carlo Masters.
However, Alcaraz took the title in Monaco and the world No.2 has now won eight matches on the spin.
He will now meet Stefanos Tsitsipas or Arthur Fils in the last four as he chases a third Barcelona crown.
In the other half of the draw Holger Rune will play Karen Khachanov. Rune beat second-seeded Casper Ruud 6-4 6-2 while Khachanov defeated Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 6-4 7-5.
In Munich top seed Alexander Zverev fought back from one set down to defeat Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor and reach the semi-finals.
The German prevailed 6-7 (6-8) 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 after three hours and 13 minutes. Zverev will now face Hungary's Fabian Marozsan or Belgium's Zizou Bergs.
American second seed Ben Shelton also advanced to the semi-finals after a 6-4 6-3 win against Luciano Darderi.
Shelton will play Francisco Cerundolo, who defeated David Goffin 6-2 6-4.

] | KUALA TERENGGANU, May 1— Police have dismantled a syndicate involved in electricity theft for illegal bitcoin mining during Op Letrik in the Hulu Terengganu and Marang districts yesterday.
Terengganu police chief Datuk Mohd Khairi Khairuddin said the operation was carried out in collaboration with Tenaga Nasional Berhad’s (TNB) Special Engagement Against Losses (SEAL) unit.
Raids on two premises — one in Bukit Perpat, Hulu Terengganu, and another in Wakaf Tapai, Marang, led to the seizure of 45 bitcoin mining machines worth an estimated RM225,000.
“The syndicate operated from residential and commercial properties, believed to have been used to tap electricity illegally and avoid detection.
“Along with the machines, various other equipment used in the operation was also confiscated. The electricity theft is estimated to have cost TNB around RM36,000 in monthly losses,” he said in a statement today.
Mohd Khairi said no arrests were made during the raids, but all seized items were taken to the respective district police headquarters for further investigation.
The case is being investigated under Sections 379 and 427 of the Penal Code, as well as Section 37 of the Electricity Supply Act 1990. Convicted offenders may face up to five years’ imprisonment, fines of up to RM100,000, or both. — Bernama | 2025-05-01T05:00:52Z | true |

Vuelve la temporada en la que la calle se convierte en el mejor plan. Esa época en la que las ganas de quedarse en casa se desvanecen y todo parece una buena excusa para salir. Una copa al salir del trabajo, un concierto en un patio escondido, una feria donde probar cosas que no sabías que te gustaban.
Aquí empieza el desfile de planes donde la música se mezcla con bebidas enfriándose mientras el día se convierte en noche. No hace falta demasiado: un poco de sol, una calle con vida y la promesa de algo distinto. Aquí te dejamos unas actividades para que las incluyas en tu calendario.
Tardeo italiano
El restaurante Villa Capri se alía con Aperol con un plan de domingo digno de ingresar a la lista de imprescindibles de la temporada. La calle Hortaleza 118 se instala como el punto de encuentro para los madrileños y visitantes que quieran experimentar el dolce far niente, ese placer de no hacer nada más que disfrutar del auténtico aperitivo italiano con una copa de Aperol, Campari o Crodino.
Todos los domingos de 17 a 19h sin necesidad de reserva, Villa Capri abre sus puertas con los esenciales para un buen tardeo a la italiana: una tabla de quesos y salumi para empezar, gnocco fritto para derretir cualquier paladar, croquestar y los tradicionales arancini.
Crodino Sessions
Hay planes que se anuncian y otros que simplemente aparecen para sorprender. Así llegan las Crodino Sessions a Barcelona, dos encuentros únicos —de los cuales queda aún el del 8 de mayo— que proponen transformar lo cotidiano en una experiencia especial. El concepto detrás de estos encuentros insospechados es simple: compartir, descubrir y conectar con buena compañía y un Crodino Spritz. Y claro, música, que estará a cargo del djGerard Estadella.
Crodino, es el icónico spritz sin alcohol que triunfa en Italia y que, con su característico color amarillo, sabor cítrico y ese punto burbujeante, se convierte en el aliado perfecto para quienes quieren brindar sin complicaciones. No queremos matar el misterio de la locación pero...Ssstufff(una pista para que no te lo pierdas)
Jardín Alhambra
Los 100 años de historia de la cerveza granadina Alhambra merecían algo más que una simple conmemoración. Por eso, hasta el 18 de mayo, el jardín de Gomérez en Granada se transforma en un espacio efímero donde detenerse un rato, saborear sin prisa y dejarse llevar por una programación que combina gastronomía, música y artesanía en un entorno diseñado para celebrar.
En el espacio —de acceso gratuito la mayor parte del tiempo— se podrán vivir experiencias como: catas de cerveza, actuaciones de flamenco de renombrados artistas, talleres dirigidos por artesanos locales, conciertos acústicos y menús especiales con la cerveza como cómplice. El calendario de actividades se encuentra en el Instagram @momentosalhambra, donde también figuran las indicaciones para formar parte de las actividades. La mejor parte es que Granada es solo la primera parada del jardín Alhambra, que en sus próximas fechas -aún pendientes- recorrerá otras ciudades, como Madrid y Córdoba.
RED by Martini 'rooftop'
Madrid se siente distinto desde las alturas y más aún con el atardecer como telón de fondo. El nuevo rooftop del Radisson, RED by Martini, se suma a la temporada con una propuesta cargada de música, vistas que no dejan indiferente a nadie y coctelería diseñada por las manos expertas de Martini para quienes quieran desconectar sin salir del ritmo de la ciudad.
Abierto de jueves a domingo, el espacio combina el ambiente relajado de un after office con el ritmo justo para empezar la noche. El acceso tiene un precio de 30euros e incluye dos opciones: una selección de bebidas (cocteles, vinos, cervezas o refrescos), o bien un pícnic que ofrece un cóctel acompañado de un surtido de aperitivos.
Y los domingos, después del Farándula brunch que se celebra en el mismo hotel, el rooftop lanza una promoción especial con 2x1 en bebidas, ideal para quienes no tienen prisa por cerrar la semana. Un plan redondo para dejar que el domingo se estire un poco más.
Brindis de regalo
Florería Atlántico no es una coctelería cualquiera, y eso se nota desde el primer paso que se da escaleras abajo, hasta llegar a ese sótano del Born en el que un esqueleto de dinosaurio da la bienvenida. En este rincón singular, se celebra durante todo mayo el segundo aniversario del local. Y lo hacen a su manera: invitando a los barceloneses a un cóctel, simplemente por vivir en la ciudad.
Sí, así como estás leyendo: durante todo el mes, cualquier residente de Barcelona que se acerque con su DNI y dirección postal podrá disfrutar gratis de un trago. Su carta cuenta con más de 50 cócteles —con o sin alcohol— elaborados con la precisión y creatividad que ha hecho que Florería Atlántico forme parte de la reconocida lista The World’s 50 Best Bars. Además, los argentinos con pasaporte en mano también tendrán un premio: 20 % de descuento en toda la carta de cócteles y gastronomía, una forma de honrar el origen y la comunidad que dio vida al proyecto.
Festivales de música
La música une a la gente, y San Miguel lo sabe, así que no pierde el tiempo y patrocina diversos festivales durante todo el año, pero este mes de mayo, en Sabadell, se celebran dos eventos singulares: Embassa't del 16 al 18 de mayo y Observa del 22 de mayo al 14 de junio. Ambos son festivales musicales que tendrán lugar en el Parc Catalunya, al aire libre. Embass'at está pensado para los amantes del pop-rock, la música urbana y la electrónica en directo el cartel de artistas es muy largo y diverso que se concentran en tres días Hay que comprar la entrada.
Si embargo en Observa propone un artista por día, además de ofrecer una propuesta gastronòmica i cultural completa. También contarán con un village, gratuito los jueves, al que se podrá acceder para ver las mejores puestas de sol, y de paso saborear una buena cerveza.
Terraza, mar, talleres y música
El título ya de por sí seduce, ¿qué puede salir mal con estos condimentos? Un plan perfecto para desconectar y compartir. A tan solo 20 minutos de Barcelona, Chandon Garden Spritz abrirá en una terraza efímera en Catalina Gavà Mar. Un tardeo frente al mar que combina talleres, música y artesanía local con una copa bien fría de Chandon Garden Spritz y tapas diseñadas por el chef Óscar Manresa.
Cada sábado, desde el 10 al 31 de mayo de 15h a 21h, el Chandon Secret Garden se llenará de velas artesanales, flores y artesanía de vidrio en su slow market. Además, se organizarán talleres creativos (con inscripción previa) como bordado y diseño floral, pintura sobre vidrio o técnicas de trenzado, pudiendo llevarte a casa esa pieza hecha por ti mismo. Un plan completo por donde se lo mire. | 2025-05-03T04:50:00Z | true |

In seiner Auobiografie beschreibt er, wie er einen positiven Lebensweg fand. | Die Zeit in einem Internat für Behinderte war für Matze Lawin schwierig. In seiner Auobiografie beschreibt er, wie er einen positiven Lebensweg fand.
taz: Matze Lawin, Sie wirken in Ihrer Autobiografie sehr positiv. Schränkt Sie Ihre Behinderung trotzdem manchmal ein?
Matze Lawin: Wenn ich ganz ehrlich bin, kann ich das nicht von der Hand weisen. Ich bin contergangeschädigt, ich habe verkürzte Arme und an jedem Arm nur zwei Finger. Wenn man mit kurzen Armen durch die Welt geht, dann gibt es immer Barrieren und Hindernisse, die anders ausfallen als bei Menschen mit langen Armen. Und es ärgert mich schon mal, wenn es mir Schwierigkeiten bereitet, eine Zahnpastatube aufzudrehen oder dass mir bestimmte Dinge leichter runterfallen.
taz: Aber davon lassen Sie sich nicht unterkriegen?
Lawin: Ich glaube, nur das ist für mich der richtige Lebensweg. Positiv an die Dinge zu gehen, Lebensfreude nicht nur zu entwickeln, sondern auch nach außen zu strahlen. Weil, was man nach außen strahlt, bekommt man auch wieder zurück.
Lesung „Das Leben ist zu kurz für lange Arme“ von Matze Lawin, 15.5., 19 Uhr, Roter Buchladen, Nikolaikirchhof 7, Göttingen
taz: Warum beginnt Ihr Buch erst nach dem Abitur?
Lawin: Ich hatte eine sehr schwierige Zeit in einem Internat für Körperbehinderte, wo ich mit elf Jahren hinkam und dann für zweieinhalb Jahre bleiben musste. Das war etwas, was fast mein Leben zerstört hätte. Meine Kindheit war auch nicht einfach, weil ich nicht gut damit umgehen konnte, wenn mich andere Kinder angeguckt und angefasst haben.
taz: Und warum wollten Sie das nicht erzählen?
Lawin: Ich habe lange überlegt und mich dann aber entschieden, dass ich ein positives Buch schreiben möchte. Und es soll zu einem Zeitpunkt anfangen, an dem ich Glück, Autonomie und Selbstständigkeit empfunden habe. Das war nach meinem Abitur, als ich mich entschieden habe, loszutrampen. Ich wollte vor dem Pädagogikstudium ein paar Monate die Welt kennenlernen und ganz alleine unterwegs sein.
taz: So selbstständig reisen können viele Contergangeschädigte nicht, oder?
Lawin: Mit meinen Einschränkungen konnte ich vieles machen, was andere nicht können. Nach mehr als 60 Jahren fällt vielen Contergangeschädigten das Leben immer schwerer, weil die Gliedmaßen, die eh schon geschädigt sind, durch die atypischen Bewegungen im Alter nicht besser werden. Und dann schreibe ich ein Buch und feiere das Leben. Da habe ich mich gefragt, ob ich das überhaupt darf. Ich habe mir aber gesagt, das ist mein Leben und ich möchte das so. Und könnte aber verstehen, wenn es Leute gibt, denen es aufstößt.
taz: Wie sind Sie eigentlich dazu gekommen, als DJ zu arbeiten?
Lawin: Ich war auf einem Flohmarkt in Bremen und da sagte jemand zu mir: „Hey, die suchen da für ein Projekt zwei DJs, wollen wir das nicht machen?“ Fünf Monate später sind da 900 Leute hingekommen. Ich liebte Musik schon als Kind. Und dann habe ich gedacht, mache ich doch mein Hobby zum Job, solange wie das läuft und ich bin heute noch DJ und Musikveranstalter.
taz: Fragen Sie sich manchmal, wie Ihr Leben verlaufen wäre, wenn Sie doch Behindertenpädagoge geworden wären, wie Sie es eigentlich geplant hatten?
Lawin: Ich habe meiner Professorin damals einen Stich ins Herz versetzt. Sie hat gesagt, ich wäre doch der perfekte Behindertenpädagoge. Ich sei lebenslustig und hätte positive Energie. Und in einer Gesellschaft, in der man sich viele Ziele setze, die nie erreicht werden, brauche man solche Menschen wie mich. Ich wollte aber nie in die Institutionen gehe – ich war ja in diesem Internat und habe es gehasst. Und ich habe dann meiner Professorin etwas gesagt, was ich bis heute lebe.
64, hat sein Pädagogikstudium kurz vor dem Ende abgebrochen, um stattdessen DJ und Musikveranstalter zu werden
taz: Was war das?
Lawin: Ich habe gesagt, ich werde in jeder Sekunde meines Lebens auch immer ein bisschen Behindertenpädagoge sein, weil ich viele Begegnungen mit Menschen habe. Aber ich werde DJ sein, an das DJ-Pult meines Lebens gehen. Und das habe ich gemacht. | 2025-05-14T18:00:00Z | true |

Missouri's attorney general has sued a utility over an explosion of a home that killed a 5-year-old | The Independent | https://www.independent.co.uk/news/andrew-bailey-missouri-lexington-kansas-city-b2749664.html | [

] | Missouri's attorney general sued a natural gas company Monday over the explosion of a home in a small town that killed a 5-year-old boy, accusing the utility of violating a state safety law.
Attorney General Andrew Bailey's lawsuit came less than a week after federal investigators said in a preliminary report that a Liberty Utilities employee failed to mark a section of a gas line before another company drilled into it while installing a fiber optic cable. The April 9 explosion destroyed a home in Lexington, a town of about 4,500 people about 55 miles (89 kilometers) east of Kansas City.
The blast killed Alistair Lamb and injured his 10-year-old sister, Cami, and their father, Jacob Cunningham. Bailey's lawsuit, filed in Lafayette County Circuit Court, alleges that a Liberty employee “falsely” told the company installing the fiber optic cable that all gas lines had been marked. The lawsuit called the explosion a “preventable tragedy.”
Bailey said Liberty violated a state law designed to ensure that digging for underground water, sewer and telecommunications lines is safe. Bailey is seeking a $10,000 fine for each day the section of gas line wasn't marked and wants a special monitor appointed to ensure that the company complies with the law.
The company said in a statement that as a party to the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board's ongoing investigation, it cannot comment much about the explosion or the lawsuit. Liberty said it will continue to help families affected by the explosion and “support broader recovery efforts.”
“Nothing is more important to us than the safety of our customers, employees, and communities,” the statement said. “We remain fully committed to working with authorities and regulatory agencies to support the ongoing investigation into the cause of the incident.” | 2025-05-12T23:17:02Z | true |

As the price of rice continues to rise, Aeon, which has been selling bags mixing domestic and U.S.-made rice, aims to sell the rice cheaper than Japanese rice and broaden consumer choice.
The variety is Calrose, a medium-grain rice produced in California, and the product name will be Karoyaka. Aeon will sell a 4-kilogram bag of the rice for ¥2,894 (tax included) at about 600 stores, mainly in urban areas.
Compared to Japanese short-grain rice, Calrose has a lighter texture and is less sticky when cold, making it suitable for risottos and pilafs. | 2025-05-13T11:48:00Z | true |

] | KUALA LUMPUR, May 5 — Latihan Pestapora, the official pre-event to one of Indonesia’s biggest music festivals, is making its Malaysian debut at Sunway Lagoon’s Surf Beach this July 26.
Marking its first appearance outside Indonesia, the warm-up show has already generated buzz, with early bird tickets selling out despite the line-up not yet being announced.
Latihan Pestapora Malaysia is expected to mirror the energy and creativity that has defined the main festival since its inception.
Inside Pestapora: How Indonesia’s music celebration began
Pestapora first launched in September 2022 with a three-day event at the Gambir Expo in Jakarta, featuring 174 artists and performers across at least six stages, ranging from newcomers to legendary acts.
Among the performers were folk-rock band Barasuara, Japanese-Indonesian idol group JKT48, singer-actor Afgan, and dangdut legend Inul Daratista.
The festival is organised by Boss Creator, an Indonesian event company founded by former talent manager Rizky Aulia, also known as Kiki Ucup.
Rizky previously served as the programme director for another major Indonesian festival, Synchronise Fest.
According to CNN Indonesia, Rizky said Pestapora was created to celebrate music after the Covid-19 lockdowns and to support Indonesian artists regardless of genre.
Pestapora has since grown in scale and popularity.
In 2023, it attracted 97,000 concertgoers, with highlights including a headlining performance by popular rock band Sheila On 7, according to Kompas.
Last year’s edition also featured the all-female hijab-wearing metal trio Voice of Baceprot, who performed at Glastonbury 2024, as well as D’Masiv, Efek Rumah Kaca and singer Isyana Sarasvati.
One of the most talked-about moments was a performance by former Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who was joined on stage by renowned guitarist and composer Tohpati, Tempo reported.
What sets Pestapora apart from other festivals
From the initial lineup announcement to a series of pre-events leading up to the main festival, every detail has been meticulously designed to generate excitement and build anticipation for Pestapora — a strategy they have embraced since the very beginning.
Pestapora is also known for its unique festival experience, with elements like teaser quizzes, lineup hints and phased announcements on social media to build momentum.
The organisers have even enlisted Indonesian celebrities such as Nicholas Saputra and Dr Boyke in their promotional efforts.
Latihan Pestapora events have been held in cities across Indonesia including Malang, Bekasi and Surakarta (Solo), each designed to extend the spirit of the main event.
The festival also features a pop-up daycare called Pecapowa, where concert-going parents can leave their children in a safe space that offers activities such as sensory play, gardening, drama and storytelling.
Latihan Pestapora heads to Malaysia as 2025 main event takes shape
For the Malaysian show, normal and express lane tickets are still available across two categories — Rock Zone and General Admission — with prices ranging from RM179 to RM349.
Children aged 8 to 15 can attend for RM70 per person.
The main Pestapora 2025 will run from September 5 to 7, with the venue yet to be announced.
The first phase of the 2025 line-up includes 46 acts so far, such as Wijaya80, JKT48, Kunto Aji, Juicy Lucy, Nidji and RumahSakit.
Early bird tickets have sold out, even though the full line-up has yet to be announced, while regular passes have yet to go on sale.

Entrenador, conversador y psicólogo para subir los ánimos. Ese es Hansi Flick, partidario de organizar barbacoas y liderar charlas que actúan como terapia para concienciar a su Barça de que, a pesar del varapalo de Milán en la Champions, debe recuperarse anímicamente para afrontar un clásico que puede ser decisivo en la lucha por la Liga.
“Estamos bien. Todo el mundo sabe que no es fácil, pero estamos haciendo las cosas bien. Hemos hablado sobre lo que queremos lograr en estas dos semanas. Tenemos cuatro partidos y un clásico para demostrar lo bien que podemos jugar”, afirmó un Hansi Flick que se ha encargado de liderar la recuperación anímica de un vestuario que pisó alegremente el césped de la Ciudad Deportiva. Entre risas, como es habitual, felicitaron a Balde y Casadó, quienes recibieron el alta médica y formarán parte de la lista de convocados para afrontar el cuarto y último Clásico de la temporada.
El Barça ha ganado los tres anteriores clásicos de la temporada
El Barça ha ganado los tres anteriores. Goleó 0-4 en el Clásico de la primera vuelta de la Liga en el Bernabéu, se impuso 2-5 en la final de la Supercopa de España en Arabia Saudí y venció por un ajustado 3-2 en Sevilla, en la final de la Copa del Rey, gracias a un gol de Koundé en la prórroga.
“Uno nunca sabe cómo será el partido. Son dos grandes equipos y esperamos aprovechar la ventaja de jugar en casa. Quizá sea un poco distinto al partido en Madrid, pero espero que nos llevemos los tres puntos. Podríamos ver las dos caras del Real Madrid. Cuando jugamos contra ellos, nos hacen marcaje al hombre y se les da muy bien la transición. Tienen un sistema ofensivo formidable”, analizó Flick.
El técnico dejó varias pistas sobre el once que saldrá mañana. Confirmó que Balde jugará en la segunda parte, al igual que Robert Lewandowski, quien tuvo minutos en Milán. “Ferran Torres, Gerard y el resto de jugadores lo están haciendo muy bien, tenemos que ser prudentes. Creo que en la segunda parte ambos pueden tener minutos”, señaló Flick antes de elogiar a Eric Garcia y Gerard Martín, quienes apuntan al once titular frente al Real Madrid en ambos laterales. “Son muy profesionales y han mejorado muchísimo desde el inicio de la temporada. No me sorprende. Cuando ves a Gerard jugando una semifinal de Champions... Hizo un partido fantástico. Siempre hablo de Eric, me encanta su actitud y su mentalidad. Cuando le pido que juegue de '2', de central o de '6', no tiene problema. Sabe jugar con y sin balón y, además, puede marcar goles”, añadió.
Nada mejor que un clásico para ayudar a un equipo que quiere cerrar la temporada con tres títulos. Flick ha insistido mucho en darle valor a la Liga. “Creo que es el título más honesto. Hay que jugar 38 partidos y terminar siendo líder”, reflexionó. Y nada mejor que un Clásico para levantar los ánimos. “Si le preguntas a los jugadores, siempre querrán ganarlo. Es un clásico. No importa lo que ocurra en la clasificación”, dijo.
Después del clásico, al Barcelona le quedarán tres partidos más: la visita a Cornellà para el derbi frente al Espanyol, la despedida de Montjuïc ante el Villarreal y el cierre en San Mamés contra el Athletic Club. “Tenemos cuatro partidos y vamos a centrarnos en cada uno. El de mañana es el primero, el más importante para los aficionados, los jugadores y para mí también. No se trata de que los jugadores no tengan energía. En los últimos cuatro o cinco meses, han hecho un trabajo fantástico”, sentenció Flick.
Uno de los liderazgos que más valora el técnico alemán es el que transmite Iñigo Martínez: “Tiene un estilo diferente, no es el típico jugador de fútbol. Le gusta jugar con más profundidad y se ha adaptado muy bien a nuestro estilo. Es un líder, se enfoca en ganar cada partido, en cada entrenamiento. Siempre piensa de forma positiva y lo transmite a sus compañeros. Es un luchador y un gran líder. Estoy muy contento con él. Está haciendo muy bien las cosas y quizá está viviendo una de sus mejores temporadas, con 33 años. No es fácil hacer estos cambios”, elogió.
Y terminó con una anécdota sobre Szczesny que hizo reír a los presentes: “Tiene una gran personalidad, es positivo, mantiene la calma… a veces fuma un poco, pero él es así. Está en la edad adecuada y se muestra muy relajado. Creo que le gustaría quedarse en Barcelona. En el caso de Lewandowski, le queda un año más… ya veremos qué pasa”, concluyó. | 2025-05-10T11:58:47Z | true |
Fyre Festival 2 ticket holders react after Billy McFarland postpones at the last minute | The Independent | https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/billy-mcfarland-fyre-festival-2-postponed-tickets-b2735550.html | [

] | The postponement of Fyre Festival 2 has raised eyebrows as ticket holders and performers try to make sense of the chaos.
Originally slated for April 2025, and then pushed to May 30 - June 2, the second iteration of the doomed 2017 festival was supposed to take place on Isla Mujeres, Mexico. Now, ticket holders for Billy McFarland’s festival have reportedly been sent an email sharing news of the postponement.
“The event has been postponed and a new date will be announced,” a message sent to a ticket-holder and seen by ABC News said. “We have issued you a refund. Once the new date is announced, at that time, you can repurchase if it works for your schedule.”
Organizers have insisted that the festival is still on, saying in a further message obtained by The Independent that new locations were being vetted and their “priorities remain unchanged: delivering an unforgettable, safe, and transparent experience.”
Still, those who were planning to attend or perform remain unsure about what comes next. Brothers Asa and Eli Maker were set to attend the festival after winning free tickets. But the lack of details surrounding the event gave them pause.
“I think we would’ve booked plane tickets and hotels if we saw a real lineup,” the brothers told Good Morning America.
A DJ slated to perform was contacted by festival organizers who let her know about the postponement. But they, too, were skimpy on the details.
“They didn’t necessarily give me dates of when they would be rescheduling it,” Juliana Salunek, who goes by her DJ name Jules, told the morning show.
The Independent has reached out to Fyre Festival organizers, including McFarland, for comment.
The festival’s website remains live, and those looking for a piece of history can still purchase Fyre Festival 2 merch. Options include a $70 t-shirt that proclaims “Fyre Festival 2 Is Real” and a $130 hoodie that says “Playa is on Fyre.”
Tickets being sold from $1,400 to $1.1 million for the Prometheus pass (which promises luxury travel, accommodations, and experiences) are still advertised on the site but don’t appear to actually be available for purchase.
Attendees of the infamous first Fyre Festival have been outspoken about the chaos they experienced. They were promised luxury villas and dining experiences in an event touted by influencers and pop stars. Instead, they were relegated to tents and forced to eat cheese sandwiches out of plastic cartons. The festival is largely regarded as a massive scam and led to McFarland, 33, spending time behind bars.
McFarland, who served four years of a six-year sentence, still owes $26 million in restitution after the failure of the original Fyre Festival. He has provided numerous updates regarding the fate of Fyre Festival 2 on his social media channels, even holding a press conference with Mexican officials in late March in an attempt to quiet the naysayers questioning whether the event would happen.
McFarland has not issued a public statement following the postponement announcement. | 2025-04-18T04:49:06Z | true |

Sie gehen damit auf Konfrontation mit dem eigenen Regionalverband und erhöhen den Druck. | Das Tauziehen um eine Regionalliga-Reform geht weiter. Erstmals unterstützen jetzt zwei Klubs der West-Staffel die Initiative aus dem Nordosten. Sie gehen damit auf Konfrontation mit dem eigenen Regionalverband und erhöhen den Druck.
Wie die Reformgruppe am Mittwochabend (14. Mai 2025) bekanntgab, gehören zu ihrem Kreis nun gesamt fünf weitere Vereine. Die Drittligisten Erzgebirge Aue und Energie Cottbus haben sich wie der künftige Zweitligist Dynamo Dresden nun offiziell der Bewegung angeschlossen. Mit der SGD wird erstmals ein Klub aus dem Dunstkreis der DFL damit die Fahne für die Initiative hochhalten.
Von verbandspolitischer höherer Bedeutung ist allerdings der Schulterschluss mit Rot-Weiß Oberhausen und Fortuna Köln. Die beiden westdeutschen Traditionsklubs stellen sich ab sofort an die Seite der Ostvereine.
Fortuna-Präsident bezeichnet bisheriges Modell als "Totgeburt"
Im Gespräch mit SPORT IM OSTEN erklärt Fortuna-Präsident Hanns-Jörg Westendorf: "Auch wenn wir einen direkten Aufsteiger in die 3. Liga haben, sehen wir den wirtschaftlichen Abstand zwischen der 3. Liga und der fünfgleisigen Regionalliga als zu groß an. Es benötigt daher eine Umstrukturierung mit weniger Regionalligen und einer höheren Leistungsdichte, um eine bessere Wettbewerbsfähigkeit - sowohl sportlich als auch finanziell - beim Aufstieg in die 3. Liga herzustellen. So, wie es bisher läuft, ist es eine Totgeburt."
Der Verkündung ihrer Unterstützung für die Aufstiegsreform-Gruppe aus dem Osten war ein Treffen mit Peter Frymuth, DFB-Vize-Präsident und Chef des Westdeutschen Fußballverbands, vorausgegangen. Westendorf ordnet ein: "Bei diesem Gespräch ging es allerdings ausschließlich darum, die Zugangsvoraussetzungen für die Regionalliga West zu verschärfen. Wir haben eine Saison hinter uns, in der ein Verein zurückzog und zwei insolvent gingen."
Reform auch eine Antwort auf das Chaos im Westen?
Mit einer Regionalliga-Reform ließe sich dennoch beides auf einmal verbessern. Die West-Staffel ist speziell durch das Chaos diese Spielzeit in Verruf. Der 1. FC Düren hielt über einen Social-Media-Influencer angeworben ein im Profisport einmaliges Spielercasting mit vertragslosen Kickern ab, um die Saison zu Ende zu spielen. Zuvor hatte das Team wegen ausstehender Gehaltszahlungen geschlossen gekündigt. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist offensichtlich, dass der Anschluss von Oberhausen und Fortuna Köln an die Ost-Initiative den Handlungsdruck auf Frymuth erhöht.
Westendorf drückt es so aus: „Ich verstehe grundsätzlich die Position des Westdeutschen Fußballverbandes, der eben seine Liga und seinen Einzugsbereich sieht. Wir haben aber eine andere Haltung. Eine Liga, die nur aus NRW-Teams besteht, ist nicht unser Reiz. Dabei denken wir über Verbandsgrenzen hinweg. Wir fahren doch lieber nach Erfurt als nach Rödinghausen zum Regionalliga-Spiel und freuen uns noch, wenn Erfurt 500 Fans zu uns mitbringt."
Westvereine bemängeln Strukturprobleme der Regionalliga
Die Westvereine sehen dabei grundlegende Strukturprobleme der vierten Ligen, die deshalb reformbedürftig seien. "Es gibt hier eine große Spannweite von Vereinen in einer Spielklasse. Die U23-Bundesliga-Reserven mit viel Geld, die großen Traditionsvereine wie wir, kleine gut arbeitende Amateurklubs und die Hallodri-Vereine, die irgendwie mitspielen wollen und über ihre Verhältnisse leben. Dadurch wird an der Regionalliga wie an einer Ziehharmonika an allen Enden gezogen."
Die Lösungsmodelle, die den Westklubs vorschweben, ähneln denen aus dem Osten - auch wenn sie nicht zwingend deckungsgleich sind. Eine viergleisige Regionalliga halten alle Seiten für einen richtigen Schritt. Westendorf kann sich allerdings auch eine Drei-Staffel-Option vorstellen, aus der die drei Zweiten in einer Relegation neben den drei Meistern einen vierten Aufsteiger ermitteln. Entscheidend für solche Gedankenspiele ist, dass die Ligenstruktur darunter sinnvoll geregelt wird. "Es gilt zu berücksichtigen, dass seriös arbeitende Vereine mit entsprechender Infrastruktur nicht einfach in der Versenkung verschwinden", betont auch Westendorf.
Der Fortuna-Boss nimmt zudem genauso den DFB in die Pflicht: "Auch über eine Zentralvermarktung und Organisation unterm Dach des DFB sollte gesprochen werden. Man hat dieses Thema bisher immer auf eine Ebene darunter delegiert, wo es nahezu unmöglich wird, Lösungen zu finden."
Termine für Gespräche mit Regionalverbänden festgelegt
Bis der DFB einer moderierenden und koordinierenden Funktion nachkommt, geht genau an dieser Stelle nun aber der Lösungsprozess weiter. Im nächsten Schritt stehen jetzt Gespräche der erweiterten Aufstiegsreform-Gruppe mit den Regionalverbänden an. Treffen mit dem Norddeutschen Verband (22. Mai in Hamburg), der Regionalliga Südwest GmbH (28. Mai in Schöneck bei Karlsruhe) und dem Westdeutschen Verband (26. Mai in Duisburg) sind terminiert. Speziell letzteres mit WFV-Präsident Peter Frymuth wird nun umso interessanter, da seine Vereine jetzt eine Öffnung der Regionalliga West miteinfordern. Im bisherigen Lösungsmodell der Ostklubs bei vier Staffeln mit 20 Teams war angedacht, Saarland und Rheinland-Pfalz mit südlichen NRW-Teams spielen zu lassen und gegebenenfalls einzelne oder mehrere Westfalen-Klubs in die Nordstaffel zu integrieren.
Ende Februar hatte Frymuth SPORT IM OSTEN zur Regionalliga-Reform gesagt: "Für uns ist es derzeit gar kein Thema, weil es auch von unseren Vereinen noch nicht an uns herangetragen wurde." Das hat sich nun geändert. Frymuth wollte bisher bei einer Vier-Staffelung nur aus den Regionalligen Nord, Nordost und Bayern, die bisher keinen Direktaufsteiger stellen, zwei Ligen bilden, die eigene Staffel trotz mancher Probleme nicht antasten.
Treten noch mehr Regionalligisten der Reform-Gruppe bei?
Tommy Haeder, Geschäftsstellenleiter des Chemnitzer FC und Sprecher der Reform-Initiative, ist sicher: „Es wird uns in Gesprächen mit anderen Regionalverbänden helfen, wenn Klubs aus ihren Bereichen unsere Anliegen teilen. Von den Verbandsfunktionären wurde es gern als Ost-West-Thema aufgemacht. Wir betrachten es aber ganzheitlich, wollen die Ligenstruktur attraktiver gestalten.“ Deshalb wirbt die Gruppe um weitere Mitglieder in den anderen Staffeln.
Haeder sagte weiter: "Wir gehen davon aus, dass sich in den nächsten Wochen noch mehr Vereine anschließen. Die Gespräche kosten Zeit und Kraft neben dem Alltagsgeschäft, aber es sieht gut aus. Die Zeit drängt." Bis 7. September muss ein Antrag beim DFB-Bundestag 2025 eingereicht werden, um am 7. November angenommen werden zu können. Mit dem Bayerischen Fußball-Verband läuft die Abstimmung über einen Termin. Danach wären alle Auftaktgespräche mit den Regionalverbänden absolviert und der DFB an der Reihe, eine große Runde einzuberufen.

] | Sir Keir Starmer called for India and Pakistan to take steps to ease the “rising tensions” following exchanges of fire in Kashmir.
The Prime Minister said the UK was encouraging “dialogue, de-escalation and the protection of civilians”.
Pakistan has described Delhi’s missile attacks as an “act of war” and responded with shelling on the Indian side of the line of control.
At least 26 people, including a child, are reported to have died in the missile strikes which came in retaliation to last month’s massacre of tourists in the Indian part of Kashmir.
Pakistan responded with shelling – killing seven civilians according to Indian police and medics – and claimed to have shot down Indian fighter jets.
At Prime Minister’s Questions, Sir Keir said: “Rising tensions between India and Pakistan will be of serious concern for many across Britain.
“We are engaging urgently with both countries as well as other international partners, encouraging dialogue, de-escalation and the protection of civilians.”
The Foreign Office has updated its travel advice for the region, warning against all travel within 10 kilometres of the India-Pakistan border and 10 miles of the line of control, the de facto border that divides disputed Kashmir.
In a separate statement, Foreign Secretary David Lammy called for India and Pakistan to “show restraint and engage in direct dialogue to find a swift, diplomatic path forward”.
Mr Lammy said he had “made clear to my counterparts in India and Pakistan that if this escalates further, nobody wins”.
He added: “The UK was clear in its condemnation of the horrific terrorist attack in Pahalgam last month. We need all sides to work urgently to see regional stability restored and ensure protection of civilians.”
Former prime minister Rishi Sunak backed India’s right to retaliate after the terrorist attack.
He said: “No nation should have to accept terrorist attacks being launched against it from land controlled by another country.
“India is justified in striking terrorist infrastructure. There can be no impunity for terrorists.”
The escalation in the conflict between the two nuclear-armed powers follows last month’s massacre, which New Delhi has blamed Pakistan for.
Islamabad has denied responsibility for the attack by armed militants near Pahalgam.
Asked if Sir Keir agreed with his predecessor Mr Sunak, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “We are going to continue to engage with both sides, we don’t want to see any escalation to this conflict.”
The spokesman said “the safety of British nationals in the region remains our top priority”.
Meanwhile, the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) expressed concern about the impact of events in Kashmir on British Indian and Pakistani communities, noting “heightened emotions” in recent days.
Maswood Ahmed, deputy secretary general of the MCB, said: “In these tense times, we must all play our part.
“The MCB stands ready to engage with authorities, faith institutions and both Pakistani and Indian communities to ensure our streets remain peaceful.”
In the Commons, Foreign Office minister Hamish Falconer told MPs: “The British Pakistani and British Indian communities make a huge contribution to this country. We recognise this will be a difficult time for many.
“We look to all community and faith leaders to spread a message that now is a time for coming together across religious and ethnic differences.” | 2025-05-07T14:02:21Z | true |

Ko-Parteichefin Ines Schwerdtner rief aus Chemnitz auch die CDU zur Zusammenarbeit auf. Deren Beschluss, mit der Linken gar nicht zu kooperieren, sei inzwischen obsolet geworden.
Nach dem sie am Dienstag die Kanzlerwahl in einem zweiten Wahlgang ermöglicht hat, hält die Linke den Unvereinbarkeitsbeschluss der CDU für überholt. Ko-Parteichefin Ines Schwerdtner sagte dazu in der ARD in den "Tagestehmen", dieser Beschluss sei "vollkommen aus der Zeit gefallen".
"De facto brauchten sie uns ja am Dienstag" und "auch für kommende Zweidrittelmehrheiten", sagte Schwerdtner etwa mit Blick auf eine Reform der Schuldenbremse. So müse die CDU begreifen, "dass sie an uns nicht mehr vorbeikommt". Demokratische Parteien müssten kooperieren können.
Mit der Linken gilt bei der CDU eigentlich ein Beschluss, der eine Zusammenarbeit ausschließt. Dieser war bei einem CDU-Parteitag 2018 gefasst worden. Für dessen Abschaffung hatte sich am Mittwoch auch Kanzleramtschef Thorsten Frei (CDU) offen gezeigt.
Zweiter Tag des Treffens
Am Samstag hat die Linke unterdessen ihren Bundesparteitag im sächsischen Chemnitz fortgesetzt. Der zweite und letzte Tag begann mit einem Grußwort des Chemnitzer Oberbürgermeisters Sven Schulze. Der SPD-Politiker betonte da Gemeinsamkeiten: Der Feind stehe nicht links sondern woanders. Auf dem Parteitag wird auch über Forderungen nach einem AfD-Verbot debattiert.
Schwerdtner: "Wir sind die Arbeiterpartei"
Von der AfD will Schwerdtner auch Wähler zurückgewinnen. Die "breite Mehrheit der Bevölkerung" müsse für ihren Lohn und ihre Miete arbeiten, "die allerwenigsten können von ihrem Erbe oder von ihrem Vermögen allein leben", sagte Schwerdtner im Phoenix-Interview bei dem Parteitag. Die AfD sei "sehr stark geworden" unter Arbeiterinnen und Arbeitern. Doch: "Wir sind die Arbeiterpartei, wir vertreten Eure Interessen," sagte Schwerdtner.
Bundestagsmandate auf zwölf Jahre begrenzt
In einem Leitantrag beschlossen die Delegierten am Freitag auch eine Mandatszeitbegrenzung für Bundestagsabgeordnete auf zwölf Jahre. Keine Mehrheit fand der Vorschlag, die Zeit auf zwei Wahlperioden zu verkürzen.
Linke will "organisierende Klassenpartei" sein
Der Leitantrag mit dem Titel "Wir sind die Hoffnung" fand die große Mehrheit der mehr als 500 Delegierten. Das Papier steckt den Rahmen ab, wie sich die Linke in den nächsten Jahren aufstellen und viele neue Mitglieder einbinden will. Die Linke versteht sich laut Antrag als "organisierende Klassenpartei". Bis zum Jahr 2027 soll auch ein neues Programm entstehen.
Jubel über Erfolg bei Bundestagswahl
Nachdem es für die Linke in Umfragen vor der Bundestagswahl noch nach einem Kampf um den Verbleib im Parlament ausgesehen hatte, legte sie stark zu, holte 8,8 Prozent der Stimmen und zog mit 64 Abgeordneten wieder in den Bundestag ein, dabei auch mit sechs Direktmandaten.
Entsprechend groß war am Freitag der Jubel zu Beginn des Bundesparteitags. Mit viel Applaus wurden die Partei- und Fraktionschefs Ines Schwerdtner und Jan van Aken sowie Heidi Reichinnek und Sören Pellmann begrüßt.
Kritik an Aufrüstung und Kapitalismus
Kritik übten die Delegierten auf dem Parteitag an Aufrüstung und Militarisierung, an der neuen Bundesregierung und am Kapitalismus. "Ja, wir wollen ein Wirtschaftssystem abschaffen, in dem die Reichen immer reicher werden und die Armen immer ärmer", sagte Reichinnek.

] | President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reminded the public on Monday that a $5 million bounty is still available to anyone who assists the federal government in capturing one of the most brutal MS-13 gangsters in the world.
Yulan Adonay Archaga Carías, also known as "Alexander Mendoza" and "Porky," 43, is said to be the Honduran kingpin of the ultra-violent Central American gang. The Trump administration has made its MS-13 crackdown one of its top priorities, and has designated the group as a foreign terrorist organization.
"This terrorist leader can no longer be allowed to live free as MS-13’s evil devastates communities in America and throughout the western hemisphere," Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement. "If you can contribute information leading to his arrest – come forward now."
Archaga Carías is already on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list for a litany of alleged crimes, including drug trafficking, gunrunning, money laundering, murder and ordering the killings of rival gang members.
"As the alleged leader of MS-13 for all of Honduras, Archaga Carías allegedly controlled MS-13 criminal activity in Honduras and provided support and resources to the MS-13 enterprise in Central America and the United States with firearms, narcotics, and cash," according to the FBI.
"Archaga Carias is also allegedly responsible for supporting multi-ton loads of cocaine through Honduras to the United States and for ordering and participating in murders of rival gang members and others associated with MS-13," the FBI says.
FBI Director Kash Patel promised that Archaga Carías will be brought to justice.
"Dismantling and ultimately eliminating MS-13 continues to be one of the FBI's highest priorities, and we're not stopping until that mission is complete," he said. "Alongside our dedicated law enforcement partners, the FBI will find Archaga Carías – a terrorist whose reign of terror at the helm of MS-13 is coming to an end."
Fox News Digital reached out to DHS.
MS-13 is a predominantly Salvadoran gang, but operates in many Central American countries and in the United States. The criminal enterprise terrorized El Salvador before the country's current president, Nayib Bukele, put more than 80,000 suspected MS-13 members behind bars in megaprisons called "Terrorism Confinement Centers."
In the United States, the gang has recently been in the news after one alleged member, illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was deported to El Salvador.
He was suspected of being involved in labor/human trafficking, according to a 2022 Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) report obtained by Fox News. | 2025-04-22T16:26:17Z | false |

] | My phone pinged at 9.12 precisely. “Robert Jenrick added you,” a WhatsApp message announced. Evidently, the former Conservative leadership contender, now Shadow Justice Secretary, was attaching me to a new group on the social media platform. How exciting! What could it be all about?
“This group has over 256 members,” the message continued. That seemed rather a lot. A few moments later came the pronouncement “Robert Jenrick changed the name of this group to V”. Whatever could this mean? Could it be a Churchillian V for victory? That would suit a man whose ambitions are not yet exhausted. Or was it the reverse – two fingers brandished the other way round? This would be an unconventional approach to building support.
This newspaper’s readers now know what I didn’t know then – namely, that the Shadow Justice Secretary (or rather, I suspect, an aide) had cocked up the creation of a new group intended to seek donations ahead of a London marathon run later this month, accidentally publishing a mass of names and numbers that the aide (or maybe Jenrick himself) then had to remove individually.
Jenrick is raising money for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity. I’ll send him a tenner – partly because it’s a good cause, partly from relief and partly from sympathy: for which of us, posting on social media or sending an e-mail, has always pressed the right button at the right time?
The relief is easily explained. When a later message in the new group declared that “Robert Jenrick has removed Kemi Badenoch”, I assumed that the coup had begun.
So I was relieved when, a few hours on, I learned the truth. After all, the Conservative Party has got through five leaders in ten years. That seems like enough excitement for the time being. | 2025-04-19T06:00:00Z | true |

The visit of the embattled mayor comes as many of the 700,000 Dominicans who live in New York City, representing 8% of its population, mourn the victims who were attending a concert at the Jet Set club on April 7.
Adams was scheduled to meet with police and other local authorities and visit the site. He will attend a Mass on Monday night.
Crews rescued 189 people from the rubble, and 15 are still hospitalized. Four of those are in critical condition, according to health officials.
It was not immediately clear what cause the roof to collapse. Authorities are investigating.
Adams's visit comes as he prepares to run for reelection as an independent following a bribery scandal and anger over his warm relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump. | 2025-04-14T14:05:54Z | true |

'Perfect storm' as ADHD medications in short supply | The West Australian | https://thewest.com.au/news/health/perfect-storm-as-adhd-medications-in-short-supply-c-18549602 | [] | [
"News",
"Health",
"premium"
] | A shortage of medications used to treat ADHD could leave more than one million Australians paying more for substitutes.
The nation's health regulator says certain drugs used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are in short supply, and the shortage could last until the end of 2025.
"We understand it can be frustrating when you are unable to get your preferred brand of a medicine, but using other brands, including overseas-registered products, may at times be unavoidable during these shortages," the Therapeutic Goods Administration said.
"Please note that certain medicines a pharmacist can substitute may cost you more, and in some cases you may require a new prescription."
Several brands, including Janssen-Cilag and Teva Pharma's Concerta and Teva-XR products and Novartis and AFT Pharmaceuticals' Ritalin LA and Rubifen LA products were impacted, the TGA said.
They affect different doses across the brands with some being low in stock since September.
The shortages of Concerta and Ritalin LA products are put down to manufacturing issues, while the shortage of Teva-XR and Rubifen LA products is due to increased demand caused by the unavailability of other methylphenidate products.
The health regulator has urged patients and caregivers to speak to their pharmacist about supply and their prescribers early to develop a treatment plan.
To reduce the impact of shortages, it has approved a supply of overseas-registered Concerta tablets.
The Australasian ADHD Professionals Association said Australia was experiencing a "perfect storm" as it faces a shortfall in medication.
"Australia is facing an escalating shortage of ADHD medications, and while emergency alternatives like a Swiss-registered Concerta are technically available ... the lack of PBS listing and long import delays make them inaccessible for most families," it said.
The association said the active ingredient used in the drugs was produced in several countries, including China, India and the United States.
In the US, where the pharmaceutical companies make the products, the Drug Enforcement Administration imposes strict annual production quotas to prevent abuse.
"Even if demand increases legitimately or shortages loom, more (of the active ingredient) cannot be produced without a green light from the (regulator)," the association said.
ADHD is a developmental disorder that begins in early childhood and affects people's ability to control thoughts, words, actions and emotions.
More than one million Australians live with the condition, amounting to one in every 20 people. | 2025-05-01T06:40:51Z | false |

Pietro Parolin: The soft-spoken, longtime Vatican diplomat could be the next pope | The Independent | https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/next-pope-pietro-parolin-conclave-contender-vatican-b2745558.html | [

] | Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican's Secretary of State for the last 12 years and its top diplomat, has emerged on nearly every shortlist as an obvious papal contender.
Parolin - a 70-year-old from a small town in Italy's deeply Catholic northern Veneto region - is said to be a steady administrator who could bring some calm after three consecutive papacies that were at times tempestuous.
As the Vatican's number two, he is perhaps the candidate best known to the 133 cardinal electors who will enter the Sistine Chapel for the start of the secret conclave on Wednesday.
His role has brought him into contact with cardinals worldwide, both in Rome and during visits to their home countries - a familiarity that could prove crucial in the secretive world of the conclave.
Two cardinals from two African countries, for example, probably know Parolin just as well or even better than they know each other.
Under Pope Francis, who died on April 21, the number of occasions all the world's cardinals could meet altogether in Rome was limited.
"We have to get to know each other" has been a common refrain to reporters from otherwise tight-lipped cardinals entering and leaving pre-conclave meetings known as "General Congregations".
Parolin is seen as a quiet diplomat who is pragmatic rather than conservative or progressive. He occasionally had to quietly put out fires caused by the late pope's remarks.
Francis, an Argentine who was the first pope from the Americas, gave media interviews and sometimes spoke off the cuff in public.
"He (Parolin) knows how to take a punch for the number one and for the institution," said one cleric currently based abroad who has worked with him and has known him for many years, who asked not to be identified because of the secretive nature of the conclave.
One such recent occasion was when the late Pope suggested last year that Israel's military campaign in Gaza might amount to genocide. Parolin agreed to meet with the then-Israeli ambassador to the Vatican, Raphael Schutz, who told him that Israel wanted the pope to say more about Israel's right to defend itself.
When Francis said Ukraine should have the "courage of the white flag" to end the war there, the comment drew widespread criticism from allies of Kyiv but was hailed by Russia. Parolin quietly told diplomats that the pope meant negotiations, not surrender.
Parolin entered the minor seminary when he was 14 and was ordained in 1980. He has spent nearly all of his career in Vatican diplomacy, in Rome and around the world. He has never headed a Catholic diocese, which would have given him more pastoral experience.
But those who know him say this is not a deficit because, in running an organisation as complex as the Vatican's central administration and representing the pope around the world, he has had many contacts with many members of the faithful.
"He travelled to many places and dealt with all categories of people in diverse regional, cultural and linguistic environments. He knows the universal Church," the overseas cleric said.
Some conservative-leaning cardinals in the U.S. and Asia have expressed disagreement with Parolin because he is the main architect of a secret 2018 Vatican agreement with China.
They call the deal, which gives Chinese authorities some say in who will serve as Catholic bishops, a sell-out to the Communist Party. Supporters say it is better than no dialogue at all between the Church and China and that even Pope Benedict, known as more conservative than Francis, favoured it.
Another criticism is that under Parolin's watch, the Secretariat of State lost some U$140 million in a botched investment in a London property.
The deal led to a Vatican corruption trial in which Cardinal Angelo Becciu, who was one of Parolin's top deputies, was convicted of embezzlement and fraud.
Parolin testified at the trial but was not among those accused. Becciu denies wrongdoing and is appealing the verdict.
Parolin's personality is definitely not as charismatic as that of Francis, but some cardinals may see that as a plus.
"Parolin is like Clark Kent without the superman part - mild-mannered, industrious, respected, but not flashy," said one person, a layman, who knows him well, referring to the famous comic book character with two personalities. | 2025-05-06T10:12:06Z | true |

The new ‘simple’ tool which can spot heart disease risk 10 years early | The Independent | https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/heart-disease-risk-tool-new-mri-b2749463.html | [

] | A simple MRI scan could predict heart disease risk a decade before any symptoms appear, a new study suggests.
Researchers at the University of Dundee analysed data from more than 5,000 volunteers in the Tayside area, collected between 2008 and 2013. At the time of data collection, none of the participants had a history of cardiovascular disease or were considered at immediate risk.
However, a decade later, the research team discovered a key indicator: an increased, yet still within the normal range, mass of the heart's left ventricle.
This enlargement, even in a properly functioning heart, signaled a heightened risk of future cardiovascular issues.
The study also revealed gender-specific risk factors. In men, a larger left ventricle correlated with diastolic blood pressure, while in women, the link was with cholesterol levels.
Ventricles are the lower “chambers” of the heart that pump blood to different parts of the body, with the right ventricle pumping blood to the lungs, and the left ventricle supplying blood to the rest of the body.
This breakthrough could pave the way for earlier intervention and preventative measures against heart disease.
Study lead Professor Jill Belch, of the university’s School of Medicine, described the findings as a “very exciting and significant development”.
“We looked at thousands of health records and it became apparent that the mass of the left ventricle was a clear indicator of future risk of cardiovascular disease,” she said.
“What made our findings particularly interesting was the difference we noted between men and women.
“In men, we found that a larger left ventricle, associated with heart attack and stroke, was linked to the diastolic – the bottom measure – blood pressure. This level was what we would consider to be normal, albeit in the upper level.
“In women, we found a link between an increase in left ventricle mass and cholesterol. Again, this level was in the upper end of what we would consider normal.”
She explained that the blood pressure and cholesterol levels in themselves would not have led to preventative treatment being offered.
Prof Belch went on: “We have clearly identified a very early marker of future cardiovascular disease which can be detected via a simple MRI scan.
“This is a widely available, easy to perform procedure that our study has proven to be able to identify people at risk of cardiovascular disease who may have no other identifiable risk factors, 10 years before the event.
“The ability to provide pre-emptive treatment for patients at a stage where their heart is working perfectly well could save vast numbers of lives which are cruelly taken from us as a consequence of cardiovascular disease.”
She added: “The volunteers who took part in this study had no immediate risk of heart disease.
“This is exciting as it allows us to pick up people, and treat them, before any organ damage has occurred.”
Cardiovascular disease can refer to several conditions that narrow or block blood vessels, including heart attack, stroke and heart failure.
While some people are susceptible for genetic reasons, a person’s likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease can be increased by factors like smoking, obesity, poor diet and lack of exercise.
The findings have been welcomed by the charity Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS), which funded the study, with chief executive Jane-Claire Hudson saying they are “proud” to have supported the research.
“Studies like this are vital in enhancing our understanding of heart and stroke conditions as well possible ways to try and prevent their occurrence or reduce their impact on those currently affected,” she said.
“This research, combined with the work CHSS delivers across the country, can help us make a positive impact to people’s health in Scotland and ensure no life is half lived.”
The study was published in the journal Radiology. | 2025-05-12T23:17:53Z | true |

] | Fyre Festival 2 has been postponed indefinitely by its organiser, convicted fraudster Billy McFarland, just over a month ahead of its scheduled kick-off date.
McFarland has been attempting to orchestrate a more successful version of the initial Fyre Festival, the notorious event that went viral in 2017. Guests who had paid thousands of dollars for tickets ended up stranded in the Bahamas with limited food and shelter, and none of the promised headliners.
However, the new festival, which was supposed to take place on the Isla Mujeres, Mexico, between 30 May to 2 June, has now been indefinitely postponed, with ticket-holders informed that they had been issued refunds.
“The event has been postponed and a new date will be announced,” a message sent to a ticket-holder and seen by ABC News said.
“We have issued you a refund. Once the new date is announced, at that time, you can repurchase if it works for your schedule.”
Tickets for Fyre Festival 2, which was marketed under the slogan “FYRE Festival 2 is real”, went on sale in February at a starting fee of $1,400 and up to $25,000, while premium packages were also being sold for as much as $1.1m.
At the time, McFarland said a statement, “I'm sure many people think I'm crazy for doing this again. But I feel I'd be crazy not to do it again.”
“After years of reflection and now thoughtful planning, the new team and I have amazing plans for FYRE 2,” he added.
As with the doomed original event, McFarland’s festival promised an “electrifying celebration of music, arts, cuisine, comedy, fashion, gaming, sports, and treasure hunting — all set in the stunning location of Isla Mujeres, Mexico”.
“Experience unforgettable performances, immersive experiences, and an atmosphere that redefines creativity and culture,” the festival's website said.
Leading up to the festival, Mexico officials with the Quintana Roo Tourism Department and the Playa Del Carmen government said “no event of that name” was to be held there.
Bernardo Cueto, tourism secretary of the State of Quintana Roo, where Isla Mujeres is located, told ABC News that his agency was responsible for handing out permissions for events of this kind. However, Fyre Fest 2 was not something he was informed about, he said, nor was an event by that name happening in Playa del Carmen or Isla Mujeres.
On 4 April, McFarland shared a timeline of apparent conversations with the government of Playa Del Carmen to the festival’s Instagram account, including screenshots of purported conversations and permits.
“All media reports suggesting our team has not been working with the government of PDC are simply inaccurate and based on misinformation,” he said. “FYRE has operated as a good partner with PDC government and has followed the proper processes and procedures to lawfully host an event.”
Eagle-eyed followers then pointed out that the terms of the permits McFarland had posted limited the event to 250 attendees max, far below his proposed 1,800 guests, and also limited the event of 12 hours of music across the weekend with a noise limit of 100 decibels.
The festival had yet to announce a lineup but McFarland told the Today programme: “We’re going to have artists across electronic, hip hop, pop and rock. However, it’s not just music. We might have a professional skateboarder do a demonstration. We might have an MMA champion teach you techniques in the morning.”
Electronic producer and DJ deadmau5 has responded to the news of the event’s postponement, sharing a screenshot of the announcement on his Instagram account along with the caption: “Well that sucks”.
McFarland served four years of a six-year sentence in prison after being convicted of wire fraud in connection with the failed 2017 festival. | 2025-04-18T04:47:50Z | true |

Borràs se niega a declarar ante el Supremo sobre los 18 contratos a dedo a la espera de una pericial | ABC | https://www.abc.es/espana/abci-borras-niega-declarar-ante-supremo-sobre-18-contratos-dedo-espera-pericial-202007221154_noticia.html | [

] | Se presenta como víctima de una «investigación prospectiva»: «No voy a colaborar con la injusticia» | Se presenta como víctima de una «investigación prospectiva»: «No voy a colaborar con la injusticia»
Apenas veinte minutos ha durado el paso de la diputada de JxCat Laura Borràs por el Tribunal Supremo, donde estaba llamada a declarar como investigada por presuntas irregularidades en 18 contratos adjudicados a dedo a un amigo durante su etapa al frente de la Institución de las Letras Catalanas.
Borràs se ha acogido a su derecho a no declarar ante el juez Eduardo de Porres , que la investiga por delitos de corrupción y ha supeditado su declaración a la práctica de una prueba pericial en relación a esos contratos, en concreto a cuestiones como la constatación de si los trabajos contratados se llevaron a cabo o cuánto habrían costado si se hubiesen encargado a otra persona distinta al empresario Isaías Herrero , su amigo, imputado también en esta causa.
Arropada por un nutrido grupo de independentistas que Coreaban consignas como «No es justicia, es venganza», Borràs se ha presentado ante los medios como víctima de una «investigación prospectiva» en la que se han «vulnerado todos mis derechos». «El Supremo en vez de reprobar a la juez (de Manresa) que llevó a cabo esta investigación me cita a declarar antes de pedir el preceptivo suplicatorio», ha dicho en relación a la citación del pasado 14 de febrero, en el que se le ofreció, como suele ser habitual en El caso de aforados, declarar voluntariamente.
«No voy a colaborar con la injusticia», ha insistido en compañía de su abogado, Gonzalo Boye, El mismo que el de Torra y Puigdemont. Eso sí, cuando esa pericial esté vendrá a declarar «voluntariamente».
Borràs debe responder por las presuntas irregularidades relativas a 18 contratos de esta institución por valor de 259.863 euros y que fueron adjudicados a un amigo personal, Isaías Herrero, a quien se investiga en este mismo procedimiento.
De Porres ya citó a Borrás el pasado 14 de febrero para que prestara declaración voluntaria, si bien la diputada optó por no acudir a la citación. Esta vez también ha intentado posponer su citación a la espera de una pericial, pero el instructor lo ha denegado.
La investigación, iniciada en el Supremo a raíz de los indicios desgranados por una juez de Manresa (Barcelona) en su exposición razonada, apunta a una posible prevaricación en las resoluciones dictadas por Borrás que dieron lugar a la omisión injustificada de los trámites esenciales del procedimiento administrativo, lo que en espera de poder escucharla en declaración «carece de toda explicación jurídica y evidencia la exclusiva voluntad de favorecer los intereses» de su amigo Herrero, ocasionando con ello un resultado materialmente injusto, según expuso el magistrado en su exposición razonada al Congreso. Igualmente, el juez encuentra indicios de malversación y de fraude administrativo y documental.
Según el fiscal, existen indicios de que Borrás y Herrero habrían actuado de común acuerdo mediante el fraccionamiento ilegal de esos contratos y la falsificación de los presupuestos presentados en cada uno de los expedientes, simulando la participación de terceras personas independientes. Así, el amigo de Borràs aportaba al procedimiento de adjudicación tres presupuestos de los que algunos eran falsos o simulados, al no ser realizados por las entidades ni por las personas físicas indicadas y que además incluían conceptos o importes adecuados para que fuera él quien resultara adjudicatario, bien directamente o bien a través de las entidades investigadas, muchas de ellas cooperativas.
El hecho mismo de falsear los presupuestos presentados, según señalaba De Porres en su escrito al Congreso, «permite concluir que ha existido un claro perjuicio para el erario público al resultar imposible determinar el trabajo realmente realizado y su valor económico, en base a unos conceptos e importes inventados y que finalmente se trasladaban a las facturas presentadas al cobro, directamente e indirectamente por Isaías Herrero». | 2020-07-22T09:54:47Z | true |

] | [] | Brad Pitt ha sido el último en sumarse a esta tendencia en favor de la moda genderless | Brad Pitt ha sido el último en sumarse a esta tendencia en favor de la moda genderless
“¡Todos vamos a morir, así que pongamos las cosas patas arriba!”. Esta es la explicación que Brad Pitt ha dado (en Variety) sobre el motivo por el cual lució una falda masculina en el estreno de ‘Bullet Train ’, su última película, en Berlín, el pasado 19 de julio. El actor de 58 años sorprendió entonces con un diseño fabricado en lino marrón chocolate de largo midi que combinó con botas militares y una blazer.
Para muchos fue un look adelantado y reivindicativo , pero lo cierto es que, si bien es innegable su carácter vanguardista porque son pocos los hombres que se animan con la falda todavía, no es un outfit pionero entre las celebrities masculinas . La falda es tendencia entre ellas y así lo han demostrado en los últimos tiempos desde Marc Jacobs, que la luce a menudo, hasta el actor español Álex García, pasando por Oscar Isaac en la última gala del Met, Bad Bunny o Harry Styles, el gran icono mundial de la moda ‘genderless’.
Dicho esto, y dado que tenemos a olvidar con el paso del tiempo, debemos ser justos con Brad Pitt, porque no es esta la primera vez en la que, como el mismo dice, “pone todo patas arriba” en cuestión de moda. No en vano, allá por 1999 protagonizó una de las portadas masculinas más sonadas de finales del siglo pasado . Infravalorada seguramente entonces, haría muchísimo ruido (para bien) ahora su aparición en Rolling Stone luciendo un vestido mini. Hace casi un cuarto de siglo de aquello que ahora alabamos cuando lo hace Harry Styles.
Dicho esto —al César lo que es del César—, volvemos a la falda, junto al bolso , probablemente la bandera de la moda sin género. Si bien el complemento ha calado mucho más que la prenda hasta la fecha en la calle —no solo en Occidente; en Japón ya era un complemento masculino muy común hace más de una década—, históricamente es la falda quien sostiene sobre sus hombros el peso de la moda libre de género neutro. Con ella ha pasado algo parecido al color rosa en la cultura occidental contemporánea: se ha etiquetado como femenino mediante un proceso de índole social y cultural que ha sido como esa tubería que deja escapar una hilito de agua y nunca se arregla. Al final, cala.
Arraigo histórico
La falda la usaron hombres de culturas tan antiguas como la egipcia, la griega o la romana . Hasta en la Edad Media se lucían con camisa. No nos parece extraño ni menos masculino ver sus representaciones en documentales y películas. Tampoco nos extraña ver a los escoceses lucir su traje nacional, donde el kilt (una falda de cuadros que data del siglo XVIII) es la pieza protagonista. En cambio, vemos a un hombre contemporáneo lucir falda, por elegante y bonita que sea, y la mente, que es prejuiciosa por naturaleza y tiende a etiquetar si no la educamos y frenamos para que no lo haga, activa el horrible modo “hay algo que no me cuadra”.
Es lo más habitual por eso que llamamos arraigo cultural, lo que hemos mamado desde pequeños. Lo cual no quiere decir que sea lo correcto siempre. De hecho, suele ser al contrario. Por eso, ya va siendo hora de “ponerlo todo patas arriba” como Brad Pitt en cuestión de estética. No tienes que rebelarte a través de tu armario si no te sientes capacitado para ello o, simplemente no te apetece porque no te ves llevando falda con la naturalidad con la que luces un pantalón, pero sí cambiar el chip para eliminar ideas preconcebidas equivocadas como que las faldas o los vestidos son prendas exclusivamente femeninas. Eso se acabó.
Así lo han demostrado los grandes diseñadores y firmas del momento en sus colecciones recientes. Ya no es una novedad o una rareza encontrar faldas en sus propuestas, sino que esta es un elemento común. Loewe, Burberry, Fendi o Gucci son firmas que reivindican las virtudes de la falda en el armario masculino. Y, como decíamos antes, son varias las estrellas internacionales que la lucen en sus apariciones públicas sin darle importancia. Se la da la opinión pública con la mirada condicionada.
Desgraciadamente, no ocurre lo mismo “a pie de calle”. Basta con hacer una búsqueda en Google con palabras clave “falda masculina comprar” para darnos de bruces con la realidad: encontramos un páramo como respuesta, con un sinfín de propuestas femeninas y algún reducto esperanzador de firmas accesibles a nivel económico que sí apuestan por la falda masculina en sus colecciones. Es el caso de la firma española Daves Brand. Se echa de menos que marcas de peso también la hagan hueco, con naturalidad, en sus propuestas.
Habrá quien piense que la falda es más incómoda que el pantalón y quien opine lo contrario. Habrá a quien no le guste estéticamente, e incluso quien considere insuficiente para naturalizar el uso de la falda masculina que la mayoría de diseños sean tipo kilt, sueltos y holgados —y tendrán razón desde este punto de vista porque apenas se ven faldas de tubo, por ejemplo—, pero este tipo de debates hace dos telediarios no existían porque la falda directamente no era una opción para los hombres. Queda camino, por supuesto, pero si vemos el vaso medio lleno y no medio vacío nos daremos cuenta de que vamos por el camino correcto. Que la falda de hombre sea tendencia no es una calle sin salida como lo era que directamente estuviera vetada, lo cual es, cuanto menos, un punto de partida a celebrar. | 2022-08-21T00:16:37Z | true |
Papal connection revives Eten’s hopes of turning miracle site into Peru’s next religious tourism draw | Malay Mail | https://www.malaymail.com/news/life/2025/05/12/papal-connection-revives-etens-hopes-of-turning-miracle-site-into-perus-next-religious-tourism-draw/176492 | [

"miracle"
] | ETEN (Peru), May 12 — In the small Peruvian town of Eten, the faithful flock every year to celebrate an apparent 17th century miracle featuring images of the child Jesus, a sacred phenomenon not yet recognised by the Vatican.
But the recent election of Pope Leo XIV, who for years served as a missionary in Peru, has rekindled hopes of official recognition — and a shrine worthy of the Eucharistic miracle, the only one of its kind reported in the Andean country.
Robert Prevost, who became the first US-born pontiff last week, spent more than two decades in Peru. From 2015 to 2023, he was bishop of the diocese of Chiclayo, a city 15 kilometres (nine miles) from Eten on the northern coast.
“With this pope who lived here in Chiclayo, and who knows the subject well, they’ll soon recognise us as a Eucharistic city,” said optimist Catalino Puican.
In the main room of the 93-year-old’s single-storey Eten house, an entire wall serves as an altar, as in many homes in the town of 14,000.
Statuettes of the Virgin Mary, candles, rosaries and portraits of the deceased bear witness to the local religious fervour.
It was in an ancient village founded near this site by the Spanish in the 16th century, a few hundred meters from windswept dunes, that the so-called Eucharistic Miracle of Eten is said to have taken place.
On June 2, 1649, an image of a young Jesus and three small hearts is believed to have appeared to dozens of faithful during a eucharist, a Catholic ceremony in which bread and wine — representing the body and blood of Christ — are consecrated.
A second image is said to have appeared weeks later, during another religious festival. The events inspired a passionate local devotion that continues to this day.
‘A gift’ for Peru
Locals believe official recognition of the miracle could attract more devotees.
A small shrine now welcomes pilgrims to the ancient town, where a few ruins mark the site.
“Every week, people arrive with testimonies about miracles they have received, whether it is healing of illnesses, or curing infertility,” said Eduardo Zarpan, a 26-year-old guide to the area.
Anxious to provide the site a more holy dimension, in 2019 Leo XIV, then bishop of the diocese, began the process of formally recognizing what locals believe occurred centuries ago.
“The Eucharistic miracle is a gift for all Peru,” Prevost stated in 2022. “Building this new shrine is a task for all of us. It’s a dream we want to make come true.”
Veronique Lecaros, head of the theology department at Peru’s Pontifical Catholic University, noted that the process “is a long one,” as it involves “an investigation into how the miracle happened.”
Its recognition ultimately would bring “great pride to the people and recognition of their faith — as well as tourism and money,” she told AFP.
In the town’s modest St Mary Magdalene church, 72-year-old Blanca Chancafe prayed facing a statue representing the apparition of the child Jesus.
Wearing a traditional head covering, Christ is depicted at the centre of rays evoking the Sun, a venerated divinity of the Mochica civilization that once flourished along Peru’s northern coast.
Leo XIV “will contribute significantly” to the official recognition of the miracle, said Chancafe, a retired teacher. “We expect a lot from him.”
Many hope a papal visit is in store. The elder Puican has no doubt Leo will make the trip to the diocese he once led.
“He won’t be long in coming... I hope God will allow me to meet him as pope,” said Puican, a retired merchant of straw hats, an emblematic craft of the town. — AFP | 2025-05-12T13:00:00Z | true |

In der indischen Region Kaschmir haben mutmaßliche Extremisten auf zahlreiche Touristen geschossen. Die Situation ist unübersichtlich. Die Angreifer hätten in einem beliebten Ausflugsgebiet nahe der Stadt Pahalgam das Feuer auf Touristen eröffnet, es habe mindestens 26 Tote und zahlreiche Verletzte gegeben, berichtet der indische Sender NDTV unter Berufung auf Beamte. Auch andere einheimische Medien sprachen davon, dass wahrscheinlich zahlreiche Menschen getötet worden seien. Die Zahl der Todesopfer sei noch unklar, schrieb der Regierungschef des Unionsterritoriums Jammu und Kaschmir, Omar Abdullah, auf der Plattform X.
Der Zwischenfall ereignete sich am frühen Nachmittag (Ortszeit). Der indische Premierminister Narendra Modi verurteilt den Angriff auf X aufs Schärfste und spricht den Familien der Opfer sein Beileid aus. Indiens Innenminister Amit Shah spricht von einem terroristischen Angriff. Namen nennt er nicht.
Zu der Tat bekannt hat sich noch niemand. Aufständische in der mehrheitlich muslimisch bewohnten Region sorgen regelmäßig für Unruhen. Sie verfolgen im indisch kontrollierten Teil Kaschmirs das Ziel, Indiens Vormacht zu bekämpfen. Die Himalaya-Region ist seit der Unabhängigkeit Indiens und Pakistans im Jahr 1947 geteilt. Beide Länder beanspruchen das Gebiet allerdings vollständig für sich. | 2025-04-22T16:31:36.626000Z | true |
No more ‘waiting for men to speak’: Catholic nuns push Vatican to break macho culture and protect sexual abuse victims | Malay Mail | https://www.malaymail.com/news/world/2025/05/05/no-more-waiting-for-men-to-speak-catholic-nuns-push-vatican-to-break-macho-culture-and-protect-sexual-abuse-victims/175545 | [

] | VATICAN CITY May 5 — Nuns sexually assaulted by priests are one of the last Catholic taboos, but with reports of abuse rising, it is a scandal that will be difficult for the future pope to ignore.
“In the past, the nuns suffered a lot and couldn’t talk about it to anyone; it was like a secret,” Sister Cristina Schorck told AFP, walking through St Peter’s Square with her parents.
The 41-year-old Brazilian, who works with the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians in Rome, said Pope Francis, who died last month, opened “a first door” for women to speak out.
After an unprecedented summit at the Vatican on clerical sexual violence in 2019, a series of measures were taken, including lifting the pontifical secret on abuse and an obligation for people to report cases to their superiors.
“It’s both still a taboo and something that has progressed” because “it’s never been talked about as much as it is today,” Sister Veronique Margron, President of the Conference of Religious of France, told AFP.
The slow shift in attitudes is exemplified by the case of the influential Slovenian priest and mosaics artist Marko Rupnik, accused by nuns of sexual and psychological violence against them in the early 1990s.
It was only under pressure that Francis lifted the statute of limitations in 2023 to open proceedings against him.
Laura Sgro, the Italian lawyer for five of his accusers, told AFP that nuns should be better protected “both by states and by canon law”, notably by extending the statute of limitations, and said the next pope must act “immediately”.
Victims’ associations say the Vatican has not done enough, particularly by refusing to remove confessional secrecy.
“Things are moving forward step by step,” a senior ecclesiastical official told AFP on condition of anonymity, pointing out that Francis “has denounced all forms of abuse”.
Nuns in black, grey, white, beige or brown habits, in Rome to study, work or accompany pilgrims, come and go every day in St Peter’s Square, far from the media hype surrounding the cardinals.
Among them, Sister Marthe, a nun from Cameroon in her forties, said she wanted the Church to “know how” to respond to “sexual (or) power abuse”.
‘Macho mentality’
In January, Francis named a woman to head a Vatican ministry for the first time in the Church’s 2,000-year history.
But many are calling for more space for women, who far outnumber men in the Church, with 559,228 female members of religious orders compared to 128,559 Catholic priests globally, according to the Vatican.
It is the legacy of a “pyramidal” and “macho” vision, said Marta Gadaleta, Secretary General of the Augustinian Servants of Jesus and Mary.
In Rome, Sister Eugenia, 67, told AFP she was convinced that “by fighting against clericalism”, the idea of the clergy as an elite, “we are also fighting against all abuses”.
In January, Francis himself called for the Church to “overcome” the “macho mentality”, insisting that nuns should not be treated “like servants”.
The International Union of Superiors General (UISG), which represents around 600,000 nuns worldwide, has taken the lead.
In 2016, it invited its members to report violence, and it also organises training sessions to “raise awareness”, Secretary General Patricia Murray told AFP.
It also set up a commission in 2020 along with the Union of Superiors General (USG), which represents the leadership of male religious orders, to promote “a culture of care and protection within congregations”.
The information from the training sessions needs to be passed on to local communities, Sister Margron said.
Above all, she said, “we mustn’t expect everything from the Vatican”, so as not to fall back into the age-old trap of “waiting for men to speak”. — AFP | 2025-05-04T23:00:00Z | true |

Al ver un control de alcoholemia en la carretera, un joven conductor trató de escaparse apagando las luces y conduciendo por la vegetación existente junto al arcén de una carretera de Palencia. Esa actitud llamó la atención de la Guardia Civil que, con dos patrullas salió tras él. Al intentar darle el alto, el hombre al volante del vehículo que emprendió la huida, de 20 años, embistió a uno de los coches de la Benemérita. Finalmente, fue interceptado, dio positivo en alcoholemia y ahora se le investiga por tres delitos.
Los hechos ocurrieron en torno a las 22:30 horas de este viernes, cuando durante la realización de un punto de verificación de alcohol y drogas realizado por agentes del Subsector de Tráfico de Palencia, el citado vehículo intentó darse a la fuga.
Dado el «peligro manifiesto para el resto de usuarios de la vía», dos patrullas le siguieron, logrando alcanzarlo en la A-62 a la altura de la localidad palentina de Dueñas. Cuando uno de los vehículos de la Guardia Civil se puso delante para informarle mediante un cartel luminoso que se detuviera, el detenido« colisionó intencionadamente, produciéndose daños materiales en ambos vehículos», según ha informado la Subdelegación del Gobierno en la provincia.
CSIF reclama que se suspenda el servicio de reparto en la zona conflictiva de esta localidad o que los carteros acudan acompañados por la Guardia Civil
En el vehículo se encontraban tres jóvenes y una vez que se realizó el control de alcohol y drogas al conductor el el resultado fue positivo en la prueba de alcohol.
Por todo ello, ahora se le acusa de un delito de conducción temeraria, al poner en grave riesgo la vida e integridad de los agentes presentes en el control y de los otros dos ocupantes, de otro por de conducir bajo influencia de bebidas alcohólicas y por, último, de atentado contra agente de la autoridad, al haber provocado intencionadamente un siniestro vial a un vehículo de la Guardia Civil de Tráfico. | 2025-05-10T11:11:06Z | true |

„Für deutsche Kids gibt’s oft wenig zu lachen, drei, vier Deutsche auf 25 Schüler in den Klassen. Die deutsche Jugend eingeschüchtert und oft in Unterzahl, sie passen sich an, denn sie haben meist keine Wahl.“
Diese Zeilen, unterlegt mit sanfter, melancholischer Musik, wabern durch Tiktok. Sie unterlegen Videos, in denen sich junge Menschen theatralisch zu Boden werfen, andere trocknen sich übertrieben ergriffen die Tränen. Die Videobeschreibungen dazu lauten so oder so ähnlich: „Lisa, wenn sie zweimal in ihrem Leben Kartoffel genannt und in der Pause gezwungen wurde, Döner zu essen.“ Vor allem Jugendliche aus migrantischen und linken Communitys witzeln mit den Hashtags #germanlivesmatter und #freedeutschekids über „Almanschmerz“ im Einwanderungsland Deutschland.
Sie greifen zurück auf eine Form des Comic Relief – also befreiender Komik – in einer nicht ganz so witzigen Realität mit Ausgrenzung und Alltagsrassismus. Gerade für viele jugendliche TikTok-User*innen aus migrantisch geprägten Haushalten ist der Song eine ironische Umkehr ihrer eigenen Erlebnisse.
In den Clips stellen sie nach, wie schlimm es angeblich sein muss, als deutsches Kind bei türkischen oder arabischen Freund*innen zu Besuch zu sein: ständig überfüttert, zum Essen gezwungen. „Deutsche Kinder hatten es echt schwer“, heißt es spöttisch in Untertiteln, womit die Ersteller*innen vermutlich auf das typisch deutsche Credo „nur Familien essen zusammen“ anspielen, das andere und insbesondere migrantische Kinder oft ausschließt. Die kollektive Erinnerung daran wird hier mit einem Augenzwinkern neu aufgerollt.
Ganz anders lesen den Song jene Nutzer:innen, die sich selbst als deutsche Minderheit im eigenen Land stilisieren. In Kommentarspalten ist von „Diskriminierung gegen Deutsche“ die Rede, es kursieren falsche Informationen über angebliche Ausländermehrheiten an Schulen. Für diese Gruppe ist der melancholische KI-Gesang keine Satire, sondern der Soundtrack des deutschen Untergangs.
Was sich der TikTok-User 40370725481, dessen Profil nicht mehr existiert, wohl dabei gedacht hat, als er den Song mittels KI kreierte? Wollte der oder die Nutzer*in wirklich ein rassistisches Lied veröffentlichen, das sich als musikalische Untermalung des AfD-Parteitags eignen würde? Oder war es von Anfang an bloß ein Witz? Unmöglich herauszufinden, beide Theorien werden aber lautstark in den Kommentaren vertreten.
Und beide sind plausibel. Es wäre nicht der erste KI-Song, der rassistische Narrative bedient und reproduziert. Gleichzeitig ist das Internet auch voll von KI-generiertem Nonsens, der einzig zur Verwirrung und zum Lachen geschaffen wurde.
Was auch immer die Absicht war – die knapp 2.000 Clips, die den Song verwenden, zeigen: Er funktioniert perfekt als Projektionsfläche. Migrantische Jugendliche nutzen ihn für ironische Selbstbehauptung, Rechte für ihre Erzählung vom „verlorenen Deutschland“. Sie feiern dasselbe Stück und hören dabei zwei völlig unterschiedliche Botschaften. | 2025-05-14T18:06:00Z | true |

El próximo lunes día cinco no es un lunes cualquiera. Es el primer lunes de mayo, una jornada con una tarde-noche en la que cada año la industria de la moda se da la mano con las personas más ricas del mundo, que acuden al Metropolitan Museum de Nueva York con sus mejores galas, y un cheque a modo de entrada que garantiza que su Anna Wintour Costume Institute siga existiendo. Algunos pagarán hasta 350.000 dólares por una mesa; los más austeros, 75.000 por una silla.
A diferencia de ediciones anteriores —cuando la polémica parecía coserse a los vestidos con la misma precisión que las perlas o los cristales—, la expectación en torno a la Met Gala ha sido curiosamente discreta. Puede que la industria esté más preocupada por los informes de resultados de los grandes conglomerados o las tarifas arancelarias que por las lentejuelas. Esta vez, además, el evento ha esquivado la controversia habitual por no haber referencias a magnates decimonónicos ni homenajes póstumos a diseñadores que en vida hicieron declaraciones cuestionables.
La industria de la moda se da la mano con las personas más ricas del mundo en el Metropolitan Museum de Nueva York
La edición de 2025, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, marca un hito: será la primera exposición y gala del Costume Institute centradas exclusivamente en la moda y la creatividad negras. También es la primera muestra en más de dos décadas dedicada a la moda masculina. Este año, el código de vestimenta —“tailored for you”— invita a los asistentes a reflexionar sobre la sastrería como lenguaje personal y político. La lista de anfitriones y el recién creado comité de honor tratan de subrayar ese espíritu: a los copresidentes ASAP Rocky, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton y Pharrell Williams se suman figuras como Doechii, Ayo Edebiri, Tyla, Simone Biles y Usher, junto a voces culturales de peso como Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Jeremy O. Harris y la artista Kara Walker.
Quizá por el consenso generalizado sobre la pertinencia del tema, el intento de boicot promovido por Jack Schlossberg —nieto de JFK y fugaz corresponsal político de Vogue— ha pasado prácticamente desapercibido. Schlossberg anunció en Instagram que no podía “asistir con buena conciencia” dada la situación mundial y tachó la gala de “patética” y de ser “para vendidos corporativos”. Su gesto ha provocado más desconcierto que adhesiones, y algunos le recordaron que eventos como este financian instituciones culturales que hoy necesitan apoyo más que nunca. Por otros cauces, sin embargo, sí ha surgido cierta discusión a propósito del contraste entre el brillo que proyecta el Met y la realidad laboral que enfrentan muchos miembros de la industria.
El modelo Christian Latchman es el rostro de la edición de este año. Fotografiado por Tyler Mitchell y vestido con un esmoquin de Wales Bonner, encabeza la portada del catálogo y la web oficial de la exposición. Pero mientras su figura simboliza el glamour del evento, su día a día cuenta otra historia: la de quienes, pese a su visibilidad en el circuito de la moda, necesitan compaginar más de un trabajo para sostener su carrera en las industrias creativas. “Literalmente la cara de la Met Gala este año, pero aún tengo que fichar en mi trabajo de 9 a 5”, escribió en un vídeo de TikTok que ya es viral.
Latchman, que trabaja en una tienda en una tienda de suplementos deportivos (GNC), explicó que recibió la llamada para el shooting mientras se dirigía a su turno en enero. Subió a un avión sin saber que iba a convertirse en el rostro de la exposición. Solo lo sospechó cuando vio pasar a Anna Wintour y, poco después, le prohibieron sentarse o comer vestido con el traje de Bonner. Firmó un NDA y posó sin saber que su imagen recorrería el mundo. En ese video explica: “Esto es para mostrar el esfuerzo que hay detrás del modelaje. No es solo glamour, es trabajar muy duro”.
El traje que luce en la portada pertenece a una diseñadora que también cuestiona las narrativas establecidas. Grace Wales Bonner celebra este año una década al frente de su firma homónima. Británica, de 34 años, es aclamada tanto por su enfoque académico —donde combina investigación histórica con una mirada antropológica— como por una estética depurada que ha convertido la sastrería negra en un vehículo de expresión identitaria y cultural.
En un contexto económico donde incluso las casas legendarias luchan por mantener su crecimiento, su empresa ha duplicado beneficios en los últimos tres años y prevé aumentar un 81% su facturación este ejercicio respecto a 2024. Aunque comenzó diseñando ropa masculina, hoy sus líneas de mujer, calzado y joyería impulsan gran parte de ese éxito. También, claro, su colaboración con Adidas: aunque la mayor parte de la gente que las lleva no lo sabe, Bonner ha sido responsable del regreso de las Samba.
Su equipo sigue siendo pequeño —entre 14 y 17 personas—, una rareza en una industria que tiende a inflarse como las cotizaciones bursátiles en tiempos de bonanza. Mientras otros celebran aniversarios con macrodesfiles o colaboraciones estridentes, Bonner se mantiene fiel a una visión que combina elegancia, conciencia y una reflexión crítica sobre el estilo como acto político.
El lunes, mientras los cheques asciendan por las escalinatas del Met, el rostro de Christian Latchman y el diseño de Bonner recordarán que la moda puede ser más que espectáculo. Puede ser, también, realidad. | 2025-05-03T04:40:00Z | true |
Trump's first 100 days: Pace of executive orders leaves Congress in the dust | Fox News | https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trumps-first-100-days-pace-executive-orders-leaves-congress-dust | [

] | Tuesday marks President Donald Trump's first 100 days back in the White House, and it's been defined largely by the nearly 140 executive orders he has signed.
The eye-popping number is all the starker when compared to the number of laws passed by Congress and signed by the commander in chief – just five total.
Three of those were aimed at repealing Biden administration regulatory policies put in place during the previous four years.
Another item includes the stopgap government funding extension passed in March to avoid a partial federal shutdown.
And the first bill signed into law by Trump – and the only item of new policy on the list – is the Laken Riley Act. It's a landmark new law that allows Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to take into custody any illegal immigrant who has been charged with theft or other crimes.
But so far, Trump has largely acted alone in his endeavors, with executive orders aimed at dismantling the Department of Education, keeping transgender women out of biological women's spaces, and others.
In comparison, Congress passed 30 bills that were signed into law by Trump in the first 100 days of his first term. The first 100 days of the Biden, Obama and Bush administrations saw 11, 14, and seven laws signed, respectively.
Two Trump allies in Congress, Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Eric Burlison, R-Mo., were frustrated at the wide gap between their body and the White House.
"I think Congress is the one that's failing on the job," Greene told Fox News Digital on Monday.
She said her particular issue was Republicans not being further along in their plans for a massive Trump legislative policy overhaul via the budget reconciliation process. House GOP leaders have said for months that they want it finished by the spring or summer, however.
"We didn't do our reconciliation over the first 100 days, and I think that's a failure," Greene said. "I've kept my mouth shut. I remain hopeful, hoping that we can get this done in the House and the Senate. But I've grown frustrated."
Burlison told Fox News Digital, "I'd give Trump an A, an A+. I'd give Congress a D."
"Congress needs to reciprocate the kind of bold vision and courage that Trump has taken, particularly with DOGE," Burlison said.
Meanwhile, Democrats have accused congressional Republicans of giving up their power to Trump with his flurry of executive actions.
"I believe now is the time for Congress to reassert the constitutional authority it continues to cede to the executive branch," Rep. John Mannion, D-N.Y., said during a Tuesday press conference.
But House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Congress had not ceded any authority to Trump when asked by Fox News Digital on Friday.
"I don't think we've ceded any authority. I think that he's doing what is within his scope to do," Johnson said. "I don't think he's crossed the line yet. If he does, or if he did, you know, I would address it with him personally as a concern, as a partner, and explain that I think it's been overdone."
He also said Congress was working toward fulfilling more of Trump's legislative priorities, while noting the processes for taking action were vastly different between the executive and legislative branches.
"We've got to work it through our processes and get, you know, 218 votes on everything. So we've been doing that, which you'll see the roll out of that in turn here in the next few weeks as well," he said.
"We've got done a lot of the ground work, a lot of these legislative vehicles through the committee process. So now we have them on deck to just roll out and begin to pass through and send over to the Senate." | 2025-04-29T20:00:02Z | false |

En este Gobierno tiene mucho más significado la ausencia de aplauso que la ovación cerrada. Pedro Sánchez entraba esta mañana en el hemiciclo del Congreso de los Diputados con un estruendoso reconocimiento, algo convertido ya en una costumbre automatizada en las bancadas del PSOE y de Unidas Podemos . Ese gesto, lo ha realizado Pablo Iglesias en todas las respuestas del presidente del Ejecutivo y también en el cara a cara que han mantenido Carmen Calvo y Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo . Sin embargo, el líder de Podemos no ha acompañado con un aplauso la cerrada defensa de la Jefatura del Estado protagonizada por la vicepresidenta primera.
Respondía Calvo a una pregunta del diputado de EH Bildu Jon Iñarritu . No se le puede achacar a un despiste la falta de reacción de Iglesias, porque ha tenido hasta dos oportunidades para responder con un aplauso de aprobación a la defensa de su compañera de coalición.
Preguntaba el diputado «abertzale» «qué más tiene que ocurrir» para que haya un referéndum en el que los españoles decidan entre Monarquía o República . A su entender, las presuntas irregularidades cometidas por Don Juan Carlos son ya motivo suficiente para cuestionar la forma de Estado. Calvo, sin matices, ha contestado que no está en la agenda del Gobierno ningún referéndum al respecto. Iglesias, cuya aspiración republicana es conocida, ha evitado aplaudir.
En la contrarréplica, la defensa ha ido más allá y Calvo ha dejado fuera de toda duda la Jefatura del Estado. De nuevo, el secretario general de Podemos ha preferido no aplaudir las palabras de la número dos del Ejecutivo.
El vicepresidente segundo del Gobierno ha venido a confirmar después, en los cursos de verano de El Escorial (Madrid), que su aplauso omitido no era casualidad. Aunque ha admitido que la República no es una realidad «a corto plazo», ha insistido en que en España se está abriendo «un horizonte republicano plurinacional», según informa Efe. Hoy en el Congreso, ese anhelo era latente en el líder de Podemos. | 2020-07-22T08:46:39Z | true |

Police probing fatal stabbing of bank customer ‘not looking for anyone else’ | The Independent | https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/police-derby-lloyds-bank-derbyshire-constabulary-lib-dem-b2746570.html | [

] | Police investigating the fatal stabbing of a man inside a bank are not looking for anyone else in connection with the attack.
Two people have been arrested in connection with the incident at Lloyds Bank in St Peter’s Street in Derby on Tuesday afternoon, in which a man in his thirties was stabbed to death.
The victim has not yet been formally identified, but has been named locally as Gurvinder Singh Johal – who was known to friends as Danny.
In a statement given at the scene on Wednesday, Superintendent Becky Webster, from Derbyshire Constabulary, said information gathered so far suggests it was an isolated incident.
She said: “This is an absolutely devastating incident in the heart of our city.
“For the family of the victim, we know that life will never be the same again and our thoughts are with them as they begin to deal with their tragic loss.
“Those who witnessed the incident and offered first aid and tried to help at the scene will also understandably be devastated by what happened and there will of course be an impact on the wider community from such a shocking event.
“Officers have worked through the night on this investigation and two men who were arrested yesterday remain in police custody.
“I know people will be concerned by what happened in St Peter’s Street yesterday and we understand those concerns.
“What we can say at this at this time is that all the information we have suggests that this was an isolated incident. No one else was physically hurt and we are not looking for anyone else in relation to it.”
Ms Webster said incidents of anti-social behaviour in the area of the city in the past year do not appear to be linked to the stabbing.
She said: “We know that the St Peter’s Cross area of the city has been a concern for residents, visitors and businesses and there has been significant work with partners over the past 12 months around that area – as well as the wider city centre.
“Again – at this stage – it does not appear that this incident is linked to any of those individuals who have been involved in the types of anti-social behaviour that have been seen in the St Peter’s Cross area.”
She urged anyone with information to come forward to help police with their investigation.
She added: “Even something that may seem insignificant could be vital for this investigation.
“Finally, I’d also like to thanks the community and them to come together and support each other through what will be some very difficult days ahead.”
Both men who were arrested on Tuesday – a man in his 40s who was arrested on suspicion of murder at a property in Western Road, in the Normanton area of the city and a man in his 30s who was arrested at the same property on suspicion of assisting an offender – are still in custody.
In a tribute given to the Derby Telegraph, councillor Ajit Atwal, leader of the Lib Dem group on Derby City Council, who knew the victim, called his death “senseless”, adding: “He was a good businessman and nothing was ever too much trouble for him. He was humble, quiet and a kind guy and would always go above and beyond for everyone.
“His family are devastated and cannot understand what has happened. He was just getting on with his life – it’s just senseless.”
Anyone with information should contact the police quoting the reference 25*260624. | 2025-05-07T15:24:03Z | true |

Axel Bäulke ist mit diesem Rhythmus aufgewachsen. Sein Kinderzimmer lag direkt über dem Saal der elterlichen Tanzschule. Viele Abende hieß das: oben im Bett der kleine Axel, unten die klackernden Absätze der Tanzschüler und die Anweisungen des Vaters im Takt.
Heute ist es Axel Bäulke selbst, der hier Schülerinnen und Schülern Haltung und Schrittfolgen beibringt. Gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Claudia leitet er in Gießen die älteste Tanzschule Deutschlands. Seit 1787 ist die Schule in Familienhand, mittlerweile in der sechsten Generation.
Jugend tanzt wieder mehr
Ob Walzer, Quickstep oder Rumba - tatsächlich ist Standardtanzen bis heute beliebt, auch bei der jungen Generation. Eine Umfrage von YouGov zeigt etwa: Jeder Dritte hat in seiner Jugend mal einen Tanzkurs in der Tanzschule belegt.
Bei den 18- bis 25-Jährigen war der Prozentsatz nur etwas geringer als bei den über 55-Jährigen und sogar höher als bei den Generationen dazwischen.
Auch andere Umfragen zeigen: Viele Menschen tanzen regelmäßig - und das nicht nur im Club vor sich hin, sondern auch Paartänze wie Salsa oder Foxtrott.
Night Fever in Gruppenformation
In der Tanzschule Bäulke wird mittlerweile auch Hip-Hop unterrichtet, vor allem aber weiterhin der Standardtanz, bei dem man in der Schule auch Tanzabzeichen in verschiedenen Kategorien ablegen kann. Junge Menschen sind dabei immer noch die Hauptzielgruppe.
Mit dabei sind beispielsweise die 15-jährigen Naima und Fiete. Sie sind bereits im Fortgeschrittenenkurs und lernen dieses Mal einen Tanz in der Gruppenformation.
"Hoch - tief, hoch - tief", ruft Axel Bäulke und zeigt ein paar Bewegungen, die durchaus Erinnerungen an die siebziger Jahre wecken. Oft wird hier zu aktuellen Songs getanzt, aber jetzt spielt Bäulke einen echten Disco-Klassiker: "Night Fever" von den Bee Gees.
Ein paar Jugendliche kichern, während sie die Retro-Moves zur Retro-Musik machen, aber alle ziehen durch - und haben offenbar Spaß dabei.
Von den Eltern gezwungen und dann Spaß gehabt
Fiete erzählt lachend: Zum ersten Kurs sei er von den Eltern noch gezwungen worden. "Aber dann hat es mir so viel Spaß gemacht, dass ich weitergemacht habe."
In seinem Freundeskreis tanzten einige, erzählt er. "Aus meiner Klasse sind wir ungefähr zehn." Mittlerweile habe er schon einige Kurse in der Tanzschule Bäulke besucht, zum Teil mehrfach.
Naimas Vater hat als Jugendlicher ebenfalls bei den Bäulkes tanzen gelernt. Sie sei trotzdem nicht von den Eltern zum Einsteigerkurs überredet worden, sondern von Freunden, die schon einen Kurs besucht hatten. "Man kommt raus, trifft Freunde, und auch der Abschlussball ist echt cool", sagt sie.
Bei den Bäulkes fliegen auch die Funken
Discoabend, Abschlussball - in der Tanzschule Bäulke hat vieles Tradition. Sogar das Gerücht, dass auf der Tanzfläche nicht nur Schuhe klackern, sondern auch mal Funken fliegen können. Standesgemäß haben sich auch die Bäulkes selbst beim Tanzen kennen gelernt.
Claudia war damals 15 und selbst Tanzschülerin, der 19-jährige Axel angehender Tanzlehrer. Die Bäulkes erzählen: Beim Discoabend habe Axel eine Partnerin gesucht, und sein Vater habe ihm Claudia vorgeschlagen. Die setze keinen Tanz aus und sei immer nassgeschwitzt, habe der Vater gesagt. "Und das war dann auch gut", sagt Axel Bäulke.
Gegründet im 18. Jahrhundert
Mittlerweile liegt hinter den beiden eine erfolgreiche Karriere als Turniertänzer. Vor rund drei Jahrzehnten übernahmen sie dann die Tanzschule.
Die Geschichte der Schule reicht zurück in das Jahr 1787. In Biedenkopf machte damals ein Vorfahre der Bäulkes sein Hobby zum Beruf. Anfangs reiste er noch mit einer Art mobilen Tanzschule von Ort zu Ort.
Wegen der guten Eisenbahnverbindung landete die Familie dann in Gießen, wo Axel Bäulkes Urgroßvater 1919 in der Wolfstraße den ersten festen Sitz aufbaute. Die Tanzschule Bäulke in Darmstadt geht ebenfalls auf die Ahnen der mittelhessischen Bäulkes zurück.
1944 wurde das Gebäude in der Gießener Wolfstraße allerdings zerbombt. Davor hatten die Nationalsozialisten die Tanzschule bereits geschlossen: mit der Begründung, dass dort auch "artfremde Tänze" wie Rumba unterrichtet würden.
Tanzfreude bis heute ungebrochen
Heute ist das traditionsreiche Haus wohl auch aufgrund seiner ungewöhnlichen Fassadengestaltung in Gießen gut bekannt. Das Gebäude der Tanzschule erinnert optisch ein bisschen an einen riesigen Cartoon: Die Bäulkes haben tanzende Menschen, Noten und übergroße Fensterrahmen an die knallblauen Außenwände malen lassen.
Wer die Tanzschule irgendwann mal übernimmt und ob sie weiter in der Familie bleibt - noch winken die Bäulkes bei dieser Frage ab. In 20 Jahren solle man noch mal nachfragen, sagen sie. Tanzen, das sei einfach pure Freude für sie und halte körperlich fit.
Fordernd ist der Job natürlich auch. An Sonntagen seien sie manchmal zwölf Stunden am Stück im Einsatz, erzählen Claudia und Axel Bäulke. Und ein gemeinsames Abendbrot gebe es in Tanzschulfamilien nur in den Ferien.
Aber die Tanzfreude, die sei tatsächlich bis heute ungebrochen, sagen sie, sogar dann, wenn gerade kein Unterricht ist. Die Bäulkes erzählen: Wenn beim Mittagstisch das Gespräch auf eine neue Formation oder Schrittkombination komme, dann werde das einfach mal schnell ausprobiert: zwischen Esstisch und Wohnzimmer und zur Not auch mit vollem Mund. | 2025-05-01T06:05:00Z | true |

Seit Donnerstagabend steht nun auch der Ablauf der Fete fest. Der NDR überträgt live.
Zunächst ist für 17 Uhr der Empfang im Rathaus mit dem Ersten Bürgermeister Peter Tschentscher (SPD) geplant. Der Rathausmarkt wird für die Fans zur Partyzone zum Feiern ihrer Mannschaften - mit Getränkeausschank und Fanutensilien. Anschließend ab circa 18.45 Uhr werden die beiden Teams auf Eventtrucks und mit viel Musik eine Runde um die Binnenalster drehen.
Startpunkt ist an der Ecke Jungfernstieg/Ballindamm. Von dort aus wird sich der Zug im Bogen um die Binnenalster entlang der Esplanade und der Dammtorstraße bis zum Gänsemarkt bewegen, wo eine kurze Kundgebung geplant ist. Zum Abschluss wird es über den Jungfernstieg gehen. Dort ist das Ende der Aufstiegsparty gegen 21 Uhr geplant.
"Wir freuen uns auf jeden Fan, auf jeden, der feiert und auf jeden Augenblick im Herzen unserer Stadt. Dieser Abschluss wird uns sicherlich viel positive Energie für die Sommerpause und die dann folgende Erstligasaison geben", sagte Sportdirektor Claus Costa. Der Tag soll auch "für lebendige, weltoffene und solidarische Fußballkultur" stehen.
HSV will am Sonntag Zweitliga-Meister werden
Der HSV hatte am vergangenen Sonnabend mit dem 6:1 gegen den SSV Ulm die Rückkehr in die Bundesliga perfekt gemacht - nach sieben Jahren in der 2. Liga. Die Fans des Traditionsclubs hatten anschließend eine riesige Party veranstaltet. Die Frauen hatten tags drauf mit einem 3:0 über den SC Freiburg II den Aufstieg in die höchste Spielklasse geschafft.
Die Männer des HSV können am Sonntag (15.30 Uhr, im Livecenter bei NDR.de) bei der SpVgg Greuther Fürth die Zweitliga-Meisterschaft perfekt machen. "Wir wollen das Spiel am Sonntag gewinnen und die Meisterschale mit zum Rathaus bringen", sagte Coach Merlin Polzin im NDR.
Kuntz: "Wollen dieser Saison einen passenden Abschluss geben"
Die Aufsteiger-Teams freuen sich auf die Party. "Es ist uns eine Ehre. Wir wollen dieser Saison einen passenden Abschluss geben - mit den Menschen und Fans, die uns das ganze Jahr über treu zur Seite gestanden haben", sagte HSV-Vorstand Stefan Kuntz. Auch HSV-Legende Horst Hrubesch ist begeistert. "Dieser Ort ist besonders", sagte der 74-Jährige.

Schleswig - Wer nachts am Steuer eines Autos im Umkreis von bekannten Festivitäten unterwegs ist, fährt besser vorsichtig. Denn es ist mit Fußgängern und Angetrunkenen in der näheren Umgebung zu rechnen.
In besonders hohem Maß aufmerksam und umsichtig müssen aber Fahrerinnen und Fahrer von Shuttle-Bussen sein, die zum Transport der Gäste bei solchen Feiern eingesetzt werden. Wer bei so einem Einsatz unaufmerksam fährt und einen Unfall verursacht, muss allein haften. Das gilt auch bei einem stark betrunkenem Unfallopfer, sofern durch dessen Alkoholisierung kein Mitverschulden begründet werden kann.
Das zeigt eine Entscheidung (Az.: 7 U 104/23) des Oberlandesgerichts (OLG) Schleswig, auf welche die Arbeitsgemeinschaft Verkehrsrecht des Deutschen Anwaltvereins (DAV) hinweist.
Betrunken und mit Handy beschäftigt - ein Unfall geschieht
Im dem Fall hatte ein Mann eine Landjugendfeier besucht und sich dann am frühen Morgen an einem Straßenrand auf ein Beton-Bauteil gesetzt, während er auf einen Freund wartete. Der Mann war dort mit seinem Handy beschäftigt, als ein bei der Feier eingesetzter Shuttle-Bus herannahte.
Der Bus fuhr in eine Kurve und überrollte dabei mit den hinteren Rädern die Füße des Mannes. Dieser erlitt Quetschungen beider Füße – wobei einer durch eine frühere Teilamputation vorgeschädigt gewesen war. Der Mann hatte einen Alkoholwert von 1,92 Promille. Er klagte auf Schadenersatz und Schmerzensgeld.
Denn der Busfahrer wollte den Unfall angeblich nicht bemerkt haben. Auch die Versicherung bestritt die Ursächlichkeit der Verletzungen und den geltend gemachten Schaden. In jedem Fall aber träfe den Kläger ein weit überwiegendes Mitverschulden: Aufgrund seiner Alkoholisierung sei er nicht ausgewichen.
Ein Urteil zugunsten des Klägers - die Gegenseite geht in Berufung
Das Landgericht hatte dem Kläger ein Schmerzensgeld von 4.000 Euro sowie weiteren Schadenersatz zugesprochen. Dagegen ging die Gegenseite in Berufung. Das OLG Schleswig wies diese aber zurück. Es bestätigte die Entscheidung des Landgerichts.
Denn es sah es - unter anderem durch ärztliche Unterlagen und Gutachten - als erwiesen an, dass der Bus tatsächlich über die Füße des Klägers gefahren war und entsprechende Verletzungen verursacht hatte. Das Beton-Bauteil, auf dem das Unfallopfer saß, hatte sich in einem für den allgemeinen Verkehr gesperrten Bereich befunden. Der Mann hätte den Angaben zufolge nicht damit rechnen müssen, dort von einem Fahrzeug erfasst zu werden.
Busfahrer hätte sehr aufmerksam und umsichtig fahren müssen
Auch die Alkoholisierung des Mannes spielte beim Unfallgeschehen keine Rolle. Dass er den Bus erst zu spät bemerkt hatte, könnte auch mit - nicht vorwerfbarer - Unaufmerksamkeit oder Ablenkung erklärt werden, so das Gericht.
Die Richter betonten, dass ein Busfahrer, der im Rahmen des Shuttle-Dienstes zu nächtlicher Stunde bei einer Landjugendfeier eingesetzt wird, mit regem Fußgängerverkehr und auch mit angetrunkenen Gästen rechnen müsse. Dies erfordere ein besonders hohes Maß an Aufmerksamkeit und Umsicht. | 2025-05-08T22:05:00Z | true |

El profesor de la Universidad de Harvard y premio Princesa de Asturias de Ciencias Sociales 2018, Michael Sandel, manifestó ayer que la desinformación, especialmente si es difundida por el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, supone un «serio peligro» tanto para la democracia como para los sistemas democráticos libres.
En general, alertó de que las noticias falsas y las malas informaciones son un ataque a la sociedad porque «la democracia depende de ciudadanos reivindicándose juntos, escuchando el uno al otro y debatiendo sus diferencias libremente», según matizó en declaraciones recogidas por Ical en el Paraninfo de las Escuelas Mayores donde el profesor Sandel participó en el ciclo de conferencias del V Centenario de la Escuela de Salamanca.
El que fuera premio Princesa de Asturias de Ciencias Sociales advirtió, por otro lado, de que los ataques del presidente norteamericano contra la educación, los medios de comunicación o la justica van en detrimento de la independencia social. «Es un ataque peligroso no solo para las universidades y para la libertad académica, sino también para la independencia de la sociedad civil, en la que se engloban las universidades y los medios de comunicación», manifestó.
El pensador ha impartido este lunes una conferencia en la Fundación Areces, a la que acudió el Rey, con el nombre de su libro recién reeditado en España 'Contra la perfección: la ética en la era de la ingeniería genética'
Desplazado en Salamanca, el profesor de Harvard reconoció como «un honor» estar por primera vez en la ciudad. «Siempre había querido venir, ya que es un lugar histórico con una de las universidades más antiguas y una fuerte relación con la escuela filosófica de Salamanca, con la que, pese a no ser un experto, me siento identificado en mi trabajo y en la ética, en el espíritu de esta escuela», afirmó.
Sobre el ciclo de conferencias, Michael Sandel recordó que la Escuela de Salamanca es conocida por empezar la tradición de las teorías de justicia. «La Universidad de Salamanca fue pionera en aplicar las teorías de la justicia de forma global, sobre todo en relaciones internacionales y en temas de la guerra, si la guerra era justa o injusta», especificó.
Acerca del contenido de su conferencia, Sandel concretó que trata sobre el punto de vista de Francisco de Vitoria y cómo relacionaba la filosofía con la justicia en el mundo. «De los principales temas es el mérito y la meritocracia ¿Quién se merece qué y por qué? La charla explora la pregunta de si la meritocracia lleva a situaciones en las que la élite mira por encima del hombro al resto. Y si la respuesta es sí. ¿Cómo esto contribuye a las políticas de resentimiento y a las fuerzas populistas que estamos viendo en las políticas actuales?», resumió. | 2025-05-07T06:34:55Z | true |

] | “I’m no desert flower, I can take a little more rain,” sing indie darlings Julien Baker and Torres (aka Mackenzie Ruth Scott) on Send a Prayer My Way. This lovingly crafted outlaw country album has been on their minds for almost a decade; the two solo artists met in 2016, when a pre-Boygenius fame Baker sidled up to Scott with a bag of weed after one of her gigs.
The two lesbians from Tennessee wanted to reckon with their conflicted relationship to the conservative-associated soundtrack of the American South. But their plans were put on the back burner until the pandemic (and a stoned call from Scott) got things cooking. Now, they’ve set up camp with elegant fiddles, sun-dappled mandolins, banjos, expansive pedal steel guitars and the occasional herd of rattling drums.
Interviewed for The Independent earlier this year, the more outgoing Scott (better known for her funkier-edged indie-rock) explained that – during a period of such bewildering social upheaval – she was drawn to the structure, rules and history of country music. Baker, meanwhile, came to accept that the narrative twang of country was rooted deeper in her “lived experience” than she’d previously allowed herself to acknowledge. So they set about making space for their own stories within that tradition, while also following in the footsteps of queer artists such as KD Lang, Brandi Carlile and The Indigo Girls.
So on “Off the Wagon” Baker, who has gone through her own struggles with addiction, sings about “threading the needle, changing the dose” – her tentative voice picking its way through the confusion. “Tuesday” has Scott, in her deeper, dustier vocal, unpacking a long-suppressed tale from her teen years about a girl whose mother is scandalised by their relationship. The girl “asked me to write her mother and say sorry for the confusion/ That of course there’d been no sin”, she sings. “And to emphasise how much I loved Jesus and men…” The explicit details about queer love and Scott’s confrontation of homophobia are wonderful.
The duo’s vocals blend with giddy joy over the sweet strum of single “Sugar in the Tank” and with easygoing companionship over the trotting beat of “The Only Marble I’ve Got Left” (on which they agree that “there’s no such thing as guilty pleasure/ As long as your pleasure's not unkind”). On “Bottom of a Bottle”, they throw sisterly lifelines as they immerse themselves in the blues tropes of ending up alone and checking “every honky tonk in town… I lost my faith… I lost my woman”.
Country music’s seemingly immovable framework provides a solid structure for Scott and Baker – both restless, questing thinkers –in which to explore their own uncertainties. The acknowledged unease of open-ended questions is balanced by melodic resolutions and witty modern games with old country cliches. “You get the hand you get and try to deal,” they sing on “Off the Wagon”. Hooks are tossed out as smoothly as well-thumbed playing cards; Send a Prayer My Way follows the rules of old, familiar games, but invites new conversations to the table. A warm and inclusive record. | 2025-04-18T05:00:00Z | true |

] | Social media company Meta said Monday that it will start using publicly available content from European users to train its artificial intelligence models, resuming work put on hold last year after activists raised concerns about data privacy.
The company, which owns Facebook and Instagram, said that it would train its AI systems using public posts and comments shared by adult users in the 27-nation European Union.
“People’s interactions with Meta AI — like questions and queries — will also be used to train and improve our models,” the company said in a blog post.
Meta is making the move after launching its Meta AI assistant last month for European users, long after it rolled out to the United States and other major markets.
The company's AI training efforts had been hampered by stringent European Union data privacy laws, which give people control over how their personal information is used. Vienna-based group NOYB, led by activist Max Schrems, had complained to various national privacy watchdogs about Meta’s AI training plans and urged them to stop the company before it started training its next generation of AI models.
Meta noted that a panel of EU privacy regulators in December “affirmed” that its original approach met legal obligations.
The company said it won't use private messages to train its AI model and repeated its point that it is merely following the example of rivals Google and OpenAI, “both of which have already used data from European users to train their AI models."
Meta said it will start notifying users in the EU about the training, and will include a link to a form where they can object at any time.
“We'll honor all objection forms,” the company said. | 2025-04-14T14:09:30Z | true |

S&P 500, Nasdaq up after selloff; UnitedHealth plunges | The West Australian | https://thewest.com.au/business/markets/sp-500-nasdaq-up-after-selloff-unitedhealth-plunges-c-18410127 | [] | [

] | The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq have risen with focus on US-Japan tariff talks, while a slump in UnitedHealth's shares following a forecast cut by the insurer weighed on the Dow.
After steep losses on Wednesday, investors found some optimism from US President Donald Trump's comments on "big progress" in trade talks with Japan on the final trading day before the Easter break.
Focus will be on negotiation talks with dozens of countries over the coming weeks for more clarity on the size and scope of tariffs on individual nations and sectors.
Meanwhile, UnitedHealth plummeted 17.2 per cent after lowering its annual profit forecast on expectations of high medical costs for the rest of the year.
Other health insurers slumped, with CVS Health down 6.1 per cent and Humana falling 6.4 per cent.
In early trading on Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 517.74 points, or 1.31 per cent, to 39,151.65, the S&P 500 gained 9.48 points, or 0.18 per cent, to 5,285.18, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 17.33 points, or 0.09 per cent, to 16,324.63.
Healthcare shares led sectoral declines, but losses were limited by a 13 per cent gain in Eli Lilly. The drugmaker said its experimental pill, orforglipron, led to weight loss of nearly eight per cent and lowered blood sugar in type 2 diabetes patients.
The CBOE Volatility index was down from last week's highs, but sharply above its 50-day moving average. It was last down 1.22 points to 31.42.
Data showed weekly jobless claims came in lower-than-expected, suggesting the labour market remains stable.
"We don't know how far Trump will let the market fall to achieve his endgame, until we have some clarity I would expect markets to continue to be very choppy," Ross Bramwell, market strategist at Homrich Berg, said.
Indexes had extended losses on Wednesday after US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell warned Trump's trade policies risked pushing inflation higher while weakening economic growth, adding policymakers needed more clarity before adjusting policy.
Trump hit back on Thursday, saying in a Truth Social post that Powell's termination "cannot come fast enough" and calling for the US central bank to cut interest rates.
Traders have scaled back bets of a May rate cut to 13.6 per cent, according to CME's FedWatch, and a Reuters poll showed economists see a higher probability of a US recession in the next 12 months.
Ahead of the long weekend, all three major Wall Street indexes are on track for weekly losses, with the S&P 500 on pace to lose about 1.6 per cent after its best week since November 2023.
Upbeat results from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) helped ease some gloom for the chip sector, after Nvidia flagged steep costs from new US export curbs. TSMC's US-listed shares gained 2.5 per cent.
Netflix is scheduled to report results after the closing bell.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners for a 2.58-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and a 1.88-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.
The S&P 500 posted no new 52-week high and two new lows, while the Nasdaq Composite recorded nine new highs and 39 new lows. | 2025-04-17T16:08:12Z | true |

Deported ‘Maryland man’ championed by Dems was pulled over driving car belonging to human smuggler | Fox News | https://www.foxnews.com/politics/deported-maryland-man-championed-dems-pulled-over-driving-car-belonging-human-smuggler | [

] | The so-called deported "Maryland man" Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom Democrats have been demanding the Trump administration return to the U.S., was previously pulled over by a highway patrol officer while driving a car belonging to a confessed human smuggler, multiple sources in DHS confirmed to Fox News Digital.
The sources confirmed documents reported by Just the News that revealed Abrego Garcia was pulled over driving an SUV belonging to Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes, another illegal alien who in 2020 confessed to human smuggling across the U.S.-Mexico border.
As previously reported by Fox News Digital, Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old illegal alien whom the Trump administration recently deported back to El Salvador, was pulled over on Dec. 1, 2022, by a Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper who stopped him after he was "observed speeding" and unable to stay in his lane.
The trooper noticed eight individuals in the car with Abrego Garcia, who said he began driving three days prior from Houston, Texas, to Temple Hills, Maryland, via St. Louis, Missouri, to "perform construction work." The report on the stop states that the trooper suspected it was a human trafficking incident, as there was no luggage in the vehicle. Additionally, the individuals in the car reportedly gave the same address as Abrego Garcia's home address.
When speaking with the trooper, Abrego Garcia allegedly "pretended to speak less English than he was capable of and attempted to put encountering officer off-track by responding to questions with questions." After the incident, the officer decided not to give Abrego Garcia a citation for the driving infractions, but rather to give him a warning for driving with an expired license.
New documents further reveal that Abrego Garcia was driving a black 2001 Chevrolet Suburban that he said belonged to his "boss." The Suburban was identified by DHS as belonging to Hernandez Reyes, who pleaded guilty to human smuggling after being caught in Mississippi in a car with passengers from Mexico, El Salvador and Honduras.
According to another document also confirmed by DHS sources, the Homeland Security Investigations Baltimore field office further flagged the vehicle being driven by Abrego Garcia as belonging to a target they suspected of human trafficking or smuggling.
The office said that the "vehicle is used by HSI Baltimore target in human smuggling/trafficking operation. Vehicle makes trips to southern border to pick up non-citizens."
According to police and court records shared with Fox News Digital, Abrego Garcia was arrested in Hyattsville, Maryland, in October 2019, at which point he was identified by the Prince George's County Police Gang Unit as a member of the notorious Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang.
A federal immigration court in Baltimore further determined Abrego Garcia was not eligible for release because he "failed to meet his burden of demonstrating that his release from custody would not pose a danger to others, as the evidence shows that he is a verified member of MS-13."
The court held that "the fact that a ‘past, proven, and reliable source of infonnation [sic]’ verified the Respondent's gang membership, rank, and gang name is sufficient to support that the Respondent is a gang member" and that Abrego had "failed to present evidence to rebut that assertion."
Court records involving Abrego Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Vasquez, have further shown that he is a "violent" repeat wife-beater.
Fox News obtained the written domestic violence allegations filed in court against Abrego Garcia by his wife in 2021.
In the filing, written in Vasquez’s own handwriting, she alleges Abrego Garcia repeatedly beat her, writing: "At this point, I am afraid to be close to him. I have multiple photos/videos of how violent he can be and all the bruises he [has] left me."
Vasquez alleged that Abrego Garcia punched and scratched her on her eye, leaving her bleeding. He also allegedly threw her laptop on the floor.
She wrote that on another day, Abrego Garcia got angry again, started yelling, and ripped her shirt and shorts off before grabbing her arm and leaving marks.
Vasquez recalled two times in 2020 that Abrego Garcia hit her.
"In November 2020, he hit me with his work boot," she wrote. "In August 2020, he hit me in the eye leaving a purple eye."
Local Fox affiliate Fox45 reported that court documents further showed that a man named Edwin Ramos, who claimed to be the father of two of Vasquez’s children, filed for custody of the children because he was concerned about the children’s safety, alleging that Vasquez "is dating a gang member." | 2025-04-23T23:28:33Z | false |

"Barcelona"
] | Antoni Gaudí, who designed the extraordinary basilica of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, has been declared “Venerable”. That is a step towards sainthood which recognises the heroic virtues of the candidate. Signing the decree was the first official act by Pope Francis on being discharged from hospital in late March.
The huge Sagrada Familia, big enough to accommodate 6,500 people, cannot be ignored. It is built in a strange organic style. Begun in 1882, it is still not finished, though in 2010 enough was completed for Pope Benedict XVI to consecrate it on a visit to the city. About 4.7 million people visit it annually.
Barcelona has a rather impressive medieval cathedral, with the shrine of St Eulalia in the crypt and 13 white geese in a Gothic goose-house in the cloisters. But there is always room for another great building of devotion. George Orwell, who did not like Catholics one bit, wrote in Homage to Catalonia that the Anarchists “showed bad taste in not blowing it up when they had the chance”. Nikolaus Pevsner, writing in 1963, spoke of Gaudí’s buildings growing “like sugar loaves and anthills”, which is true.
Gaudí’s weird forms are not quite as unrooted as it is sometimes imagined. The broken medieval walls of Madrigal de las Altas Torres in the province of Avila, for example, do look like sugar loaves left out in the rain. And the pillars inside the church at Olivenza on the Portuguese border look like creepers twisted together, an impression also given by the Lonja, the silk exchange, at Valencia. The chimneys of Gaudí’s Casa Milà in Barcelona look like the helmets of Gothic knights.
You can see Gaudí’s style developing in his Gothic confection at Astorga, in the province of León, designed as a palace for the bishop, and now a museum.
The design of Barcelona’s basilica has religious significance, of course. Its intended 18 spires will stand for the Twelve Apostles, Four Evangelists, the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ, the highest spire at a planned 565ft. The interior has a nave surrounded on each side by two aisles; in that respect it resembles Toledo Cathedral. The nave vaults are 148ft high (two feet more than Toledo’s); those of the aisles are 98 ft.
Anyway, whether Gaudí’s architecture is liked or not, no one is made a saint for their architecture. Gaudí took further than anyone else the Catalan style of modernisme, which we tend to think of as art nouveau. But he also settled into a pattern of life working on the Sagrada Familia, praying, fasting, going to Mass daily. From 1925 he lived all the time at the workshop of the unfinished basilica.
On June 7 1926, Gaudí was walking from the Sagrada Familia to the church of St Philip Neri, run by the Oratorians. (In 1902, the bearded Gaudí had been used as model for St Philip Neri in a painting by Joan Llimona.) His spiritual director, Fr Agustí Mas, lived there.
That June day, Gaudí had got about half way when he was hit by a number 30 tram in the wide Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes. He was wearing rough workman’s clothes and was unrecognised. He died on June 10, aged 73. Thousands attended his funeral and he was buried at the Sagrada Familia.
Fr Mas was caught by the Anarchists in 1937, when the disastrous Civil War engulfed Barcelona. Priests were killed for being priests. Fr Mas was imprisoned for a month and then killed. In 2012 the process of his beatification began as one of a group of 12 connected with the Sagrada Familia, six priests and six lay people, martyred in the Civil War. | 2025-04-19T06:00:00Z | true |

] | NEW YORK, May 12 — Deep in the bowels of the UN headquarters, a pump sucks in huge amounts of water from the East River to help cool the complex with an old but energy-efficient mechanism.
As more and more people want to stay cool in a planet that is steadily heating up, energy experts point to this kind of water-based system as a good alternative to air conditioning. But in many cases they are hard to set up.
The system has been part of the New York complex since it opened in the 1950s, chief building engineer Michael Martini told AFP during a tour of the cooling equipment.
The system, overhauled with the rest of the complex from 2008 to 2014, cools the UN centre using less energy than a conventional air conditioning system. UN policy is to bring the air temperature down to about 24 degrees Celsius, or 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
In summer in New York, the river running beside the UN headquarters — it is actually a salt water estuary — stays much cooler than the surrounding air, which can reach 100 degrees. So cooling the building eats up less energy.
As many as 26,000 litres per minute (7,000 gallons) of water flow through fibre glass pipes to the complex’s cooling plant, which uses it and a refrigerant gas to produce cold.
The system has two independent loops to prevent contamination of the water that flows back into the river at a higher temperature, said the head of the cooling system, David Lindsay.
Looking at the gleaming glass tower of the UN headquarters and the dome of the General Assembly, you would never know that the East River serves this purpose for the UN and is more than just part of the scenery.
The UN’s New York headquarters is not its only building that depends on water.
In Geneva, its Palais de Nations features a cooling system that uses water from Lake Geneva. And the UN City complex in Copenhagen, which houses 10 UN agencies, depends on cold seawater that almost eliminates the need for electricity to cool the place.
This a huge benefit compared to the estimated two billion air conditioning units installed around a world.
Why so rare?
With the number of air conditioners due to increase so as to help people who are more and more exposed to dangerous temperatures, energy consumption for the purpose of cooling has already tripled since 1990, says the International Energy Agency, which wants more efficient systems.
Examples of these are centralised air conditioning networks using electricity, geothermal systems or ones that use water, like the UN complex in New York.
This latter system “has not been deployed as much as it should be for the issues we face today,” said Lily Riahi, coordinator of Cool Coalition, a grouping of states, cities and companies under the aegis of the United Nations.
Some big organisations have been able to run such systems on their own, like the United Nations or Cornell University in New York State, which relies on water from Lake Cayuga.
But for the most part these systems require a lot of coordination among multiple stakeholders, said Riahi.
“We know it’s technically possible, and we know actually there are many cases that prove the economics as well,” said Rob Thornton, president of the International District Energy Association, which helps develop district cooling and heating networks.
“But it requires someone, some agent, whether it’s a champion, a city, or a utility or someone, to actually undertake the aggregation of the market,” he said.
“The challenge is just gathering and aggregating the customers to the point where there’s enough, where the risk can be managed,” Thornton said.
He cited Paris as an example, which uses the Seine River to run Europe’s largest water-based cooling grid.
These networks allow for the reduced use toxic substances as coolants, and lower the risk of leaks.
And they avoid emissions of hot air — like air conditioning units spew — into cities already enduring heat waves.
But hot water from cooling units, when dumped back into rivers and other bodies of water, is dangerous for aquatic ecosystems, environmentalists say.
“This challenge is quite small, compared to the discharge from nuclear plants,” said Riahi, adding the problem can be addressed by setting a temperate limit on this water. — AFP | 2025-05-12T13:00:00Z | true |

Federal election 2025: Curtin independent Kate Chaney’s links to WA Greens convener Chilla Bulbeck revealed | The West Australian | https://thewest.com.au/politics/greens/curtin-independent-kate-chaneys-links-to-wa-greens-convener-chilla-bulbeck-revealed-c-18407424 | [

] | Curtin independent Kate Chaney has been hit with more claims over her links to the Greens, with one of the left-wing party’s most senior WA figures donating money and contributing to a key policy document.
Greens co-convener Chilla Bulbeck — who also serves as Town of Cottesloe councillor in Ms Chaney’s electorate —was listed on the Teal’s “donor wall” in July last year, chipping in $104 to her re-election efforts.
A former academic, Cr Bulbeck earned the title of Australia’s most generous political donor in 2019, when it was revealed she donated almost $600,000 to the Greens.
So far this financial year, Cr Bulbeck has donated $20,000 to the Greens. She was also recognised as a contributor to Ms Chaney’s climate action dossier.
As part of her Net Zero Plan for Curtin, published in February last year, Ms Chaney discussed a range of changes, including higher density living and banning future residential gas supplies.
“The following people volunteered their time, energy and expertise to this report or to one of the community projects,” Ms Chaney writes in the report, before listing Cr Bulbeck as a contributor.
Photos on Ms Chaney’s social media also show Cr Bulbeck in a campaign shirt.
The links come in the final two weeks of a closely fought election campaign in the blue-ribbon seat of Curtin, where Liberal Tom White is seeking to unseat the first-term Ms Chaney.
The campaign has forced Ms Chaney to defend herself from claims made by the Liberals she is too close to the Greens, given her voting record aligned more with the minor party than the Government and the Opposition.
A WA Liberal insider criticised the link, calling Ms Chaney’s independent claim a “sham”.
“In WA, you have one Teal candidate who is a former member of the Greens, and a Teal MP for Curtin whose policies are being written by the Greens’ State co-convener,” the senior Liberal said.
“It makes a complete mockery of their claims to both independence and transparency.”
Cr Bulbeck, who was appointed a Greens convener last year after sweeping changes at the party’s annual general meeting, told The West Australian the contributions had ended after she took on the senior role.
“The donation and my engagement with Kate Chaney’s community work was in support of people pushing for climate action and Curtin’s support of the Voice,” Cr Bulbeck said. “This was before I became co-convener of the Greens WA.
“My involvement in Kate’s community campaigning and my donation was declared during the nomination process for co-convenor, and has of course not continued since.”
In a statement to The West Australian after raising the Cr Bulbeck’s contribution to her campaign, Ms Chaney instead raised a question about who was funding Mr White’s campaign.
“The real story here isn’t a $104 donation, it’s that unlike me, my opponent refuses to tell the voters of Curtin how much he’s raised or who is funding him — yet we see manufactured outrage over mine,” she said.
“I’ve led the way on real-time donation disclosure because I believe voters deserve to know who is funding their representatives before they cast their vote.” | 2025-04-24T11:00:00Z | false |

] | SYDNEY, May 5 — Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is likely to work more closely with centre-left governments in Britain and Canada, as well as other democratic allies, after a resounding election win strengthened his hand in dealing with the US, analysts said.
Albanese’s Labor Party rode a voter backlash against the policies of US President Donald Trump to a come-from-behind victory that expanded his parliamentary majority, echoing the reelection win a week ago by Canada’s ruling party.
After his cabinet is sworn in, Albanese is expected to visit Washington for discussions on US tariffs and defence matters, while also working with Asian and European nations to broaden export markets and defence cooperation, hedging against US reliance.
Albanese had presented himself to voters as a safe pair of hands amid global turmoil, in contrast to conservative opposition leader Peter Dutton, who was compared to Trump, former strategists for the opposition Liberal Party said in assessing their loss.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers said on Sunday there were global challenges ahead for the returned government.
“People recognised if you want stability while the global economy was going crazy then a majority Labor government was the best way to deliver that,” he said in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Chalmers said his immediate focus was global economic uncertainty, particularly the impact of tariff tensions between the United States, Australia’s main security ally, and China, its largest trading partner.
The Labor Party is projected to increase its seats in parliament, strengthening Albanese’s position in dealing with the White House, analysts said.
“When the world’s most powerful country appears erratic and unreliable, it makes sense to diversify your relationships,” said Lowy Institute Executive Director Michael Fullilove, who expects Australia to strengthen ties with Canada, Britain, and other democracies in Europe and Asia.
“None of these countries can replace the United States as Australia’s great security ally, however,” he added.
While Trump’s policies are not popular in Australia, Lowy Institute polling showed 80% of Australians regard the US alliance as important for security.
Noting that Albanese has not yet met Trump in person, Fullilove said: “It’s hard to think of two leaders who are more different from each other.”
An Australian Electoral Commission count, which is continuing, shows Labor has won at least 82 seats out of 150 seats, increasing its majority in the House of Representatives.
“It’s important to have a majority government when dealing with Australia’s principal ally, the United States,” said Arthur Sinodinos, who was Australia’s ambassador in Washington when the AUKUS nuclear submarine treaty, Australia’s largest-ever defence project, was negotiated.
Albanese needs to travel to the United States soon to talk with Trump about trade and defence, said Sinodinos, now a Washington-based partner with The Asia Group think tank and a former Liberal minister.
“Trump works on the basis that he likes winners,” he added.
Albanese had not attended Trump’s inauguration because it was likely to draw criticism from voters for not putting domestic priorities first, and had been careful not to criticise Trump personally in the election campaign, Sinodinos said.
“He talked more about the Americanisation of policy. That was clearly meant to send a coded message to the electorate,” he added.
Unlike the conservatives, Labor had resisted pledging to increase defence spending during the election to 3 per cent of gross domestic product after a request by Washington, saying it had already committed to A$50 billion more over the next decade, reaching 2.33 per cent of GDP in 2033-34.
Albanese said during the campaign that defence spending could increase if strategic circumstances demanded.
Albanese said on Sunday the first leader to call to congratulate him was Papua New Guinea leader James Marape.
Australia has significantly boosted aid and security ties with its northern neighbour to deter China from gaining a policing role, as Beijing expands its security presence in the Pacific Islands region.
Leaders in the Pacific Islands, one of the world’s most aid-reliant regions, have been rattled by Trump’s dismissive stance on climate change, which they regard as an existential threat, and dismantling of the US Agency for International Development.
Albanese said he also received personal messages from British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emanuel Macron, and was scheduled to speak on Sunday with the leaders of Indonesia and Ukraine.
“We will continue to back Ukraine,” he said.
Albanese had participated in video meetings of the British-led “coalition of the willing” and previously said Australia could provide unspecified support to Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy wrote on X on Saturday evening that he appreciated Australia’s “principled stance on ending Russia’s war”.
Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney wrote on X: “In an increasingly divided world, Canada and Australia are close partners and the most reliable of friends.” — Reuters | 2025-05-04T23:00:00Z | true |

Von den Bayern gab es zunächst keine Stellungnahme zu der überraschenden Nachricht. Erst am Mittwoch hatte der Bundesliga-Spitzenreiter und Euroleague-Teilnehmer mitgeteilt, dass Geschäftsführer Marko Pesic nach eineinhalb Jahrzehnten den Club Ende Dezember 2025 verlassen wird.
Herbert: "Fühle mich unglaublich geehrt"
"Ich fühle mich unglaublich geehrt und freue mich sehr über die Möglichkeit, mein Heimatland zu trainieren", sagte der 66 Jahre alte Herbert laut der Mitteilung.

Die Kanadier teilten keine Vertragslaufzeit mit, wohl aber, dass der Trainer das Team zur WM 2027 und zu Olympia 2028 führen soll. Herbert spielte in den 80er Jahren für die kanadische Auswahl, später saß er dann auch auf der Trainerbank der Nationalmannschaft.

Peter Dutton’s telling blow up as final leaders’ debate of election campaign awarded to Albanese | The West Australian | https://thewest.com.au/news/peter-duttons-telling-blow-up-as-final-leaders-debate-of-election-campaign-awarded-to-albanese-c-18504739 | [] | [

] | The final debate of the election campaign was certainly feistier than the first three. There were multiple moments of frustration, bordering on outright anger, between the two leaders.
Part of that, presumably, can be ascribed to the Coalition’s fading prospects of victory next Saturday, should the polls prove to be accurate.
A Newspoll released shortly before the debate showed no movement whatsoever. And when you’re chasing, movement is what you need.
So with that in mind, it is hardly surprising that Peter Dutton was usually the instigator during the debate, and repeatedly accused Anthony Albanese of being dishonest in quite strong terms.
He was acting like a man who knows the campaign has drifted, near-inertly, for a month. Now Mr Dutton only has days left to find a catalyst; to do something capable of appreciably shifting people’s support.
The clearest example of his mood on Sunday night came when Mr Albanese repeated one of his more favoured attack lines – his claim that Mr Dutton will scrap the government’s Same Job, Same Pay labour hire laws if he wins power.
As Mr Albanese well knows, Mr Dutton explicitly ruled out doing just that early in the campaign.
”That is just – I mean, that is not true,” a frustrated Mr Dutton said when the Prime Minister brought it up again on Sunday night.
”Honestly. This whole campaign, it is hard to believe anything you say.
”We have a plan before the Australian people, which I believe provides solutions to your problems, the creation of which you should be ashamed of, frankly.”
Mr Albanese responded to this by mocking the Coalition’s record, saying “Australians deserve better than the pretence that everything was hunky dory” under the previous government.
”You can’t stand here telling people they’re much better off after three years,” Mr Dutton shot back at him.
”If you had a good story to tell, Prime Minister, you wouldn’t be running a scare campaign. You’d be talking about your so-called achievements.”
There were several other moments that demonstrated Mr Dutton’s determination – his detractors might call it desperation – to get a jab in.
During a conversation about the failed referendum on an Indigenous Voice to parliament, as moderator Mark Riley was trying to establish whether Mr Albanese “still believes in it”, the Liberal leader interjected: “Can we get a straight answer please?”
A debate about energy policy culminated in Mr Dutton near-shouting: “You will wreck the economy! You’re doing it now!”
I’m not saying it was all aggression, all the time. When Seven’s hosts moved on to a less traditional “quickfire” question-and-answer segment, Mr Dutton outshone the Prime Minister with moments of humour – such as when he labelled Elon Musk an “evil genius”.
(Mr Albanese, by the way, was visibly angry when trolled with photos of the multimillion-dollar beachside mansion he purchased while in office.)
So no, not all aggression. But the tone was noticeably different from their previous meetings. Those all felt like the opening round of a boxing match, with both fighters feeling each other out and mainly seeking to avoid catastrophic mistakes.
This one felt like maybe the tenth round, with one guy throwing flurries of punches, sensing he needed a knockout, and the other absorbing them. The eleventh and twelfth rounds are still to come of course, in these final days of the campaign, but time is running out.
Spinning the debate for Labor afterwards, Treasurer Jim Chalmers drilled in on Mr Dutton’s demeanour, claiming he was at times “unhinged”.
“Volatile times are the worst time for a volatile leader like Peter Dutton. Tonight, we saw Peter Dutton lose his cool,” Dr Chalmers said.
“We saw him drop his bundle. We saw him with a number of unhinged rants which are unbecoming of the alternative prime minister of this country.”
That’s all a bit much. Quite a bit much, actually. At no point was Mr Dutton “unhinged”.
But little we heard from the voters in Seven’s post-debate focus group suggested the more aggressive strategy had worked. Most expressed a degree of annoyance with both leaders for offering too few solutions on the problems that matter.
It’s not that a great groundswell of Australians particularly like Anthony Albanese. That Newspoll I mentioned at the start showed only 39 per cent of respondents think his government deserves another term.
But then you look at the other side of that coin: 62 per cent of voters do not believe Mr Dutton and the Coalition are ready to be in power.
Frustration, even when it might be justified, will never fix that. | 2025-04-27T13:50:46Z | false |

'I won't miss the pressure': Antony Green calls time | The West Australian | https://thewest.com.au/politics/election/i-wont-miss-the-pressure-antony-green-calls-time-c-18531594 | [] | [

] | He's as synonymous with polling day as democracy sausages, how-to-vote cards and the electoral commission.
But as Antony Green counts down to his last on-air broadcast as the ABC's chief election analyst, the veteran poll-caller says he is looking forwards to parts of stepping away from the cameras after more than 30 years in the role.
"There's been lots of people saying 'we'll miss you' and they're saddened, but that said, I won't miss the pressure of election night," he told AAP.
"Colleagues have said you'll enjoy the process more when you're just looking after the (election) computer in the background."
Saturday will be Mr Green's 12th and final federal election as a presenter for the ABC, after announcing in February he would step back from presenting, but he will still play a behind-the-scenes role in future elections.
The renowned analyst is still putting the finishing touches on his election guide for the broadcast and making adjustments to the computer system, saying crunching the numbers live is just the tip of the iceberg.
"I'm still intimately involved in all the programs with how the graphics work and the online system ... it's the whole aspect of the election and how it is reported," he said.
After starting at the national broadcaster in 1989 as an election researcher, he first appeared on election night coverage at the NSW poll two years later.
His first federal election in 1993 was among his most notable, with Labor leader Paul Keating defying opinion polls in an upset victory over John Hewson.
"Those elections where there are surprising on-the-day results, they're the ones that are the most memorable," he said.
The nature of reporting the vote tally has since become more intricate.
"Once upon a time it was only TV election coverage, now as well as what I'm saying on camera, you have to worry about what is being published on screen and online as well," he said.
"There is a terrain of media out there waiting for me to say 'so and so have won' and that's the pressure I hate."
Whether the final outcome of Saturday's election is in line with predictions or produces a last-minute surprise, Mr Green hopes it will not be as difficult to forecast as the previous one.
"This time should not be as complicated as last time," he said.
"Last time (in 2022) independents popped up and there was no history of how preferences should flow, and so you couldn't compare it." | 2025-04-29T20:02:28Z | true |

Europe relaxes CO2 emissions rules in win for carmakers | The West Australian | https://thewest.com.au/lifestyle/motoring/europe-relaxes-co2-emissions-rules-in-win-for-carmakers-c-18673928 | [] | [
"Lifestyle",

] | The European Union is about to approve changes to its CO2 emissions compliance rules for car manufacturers, which could save them billions of euros in fines.
At the end of last week, the European Parliament approved a change that permits manufacturers to meet their CO2 targets in 2025, 2026 and 2027 by averaging their emissions over those three years.
As before, manufacturers can pool their emissions together with other carmakers, which allows non-compliant manufacturers to combine their emissions figures with a competitor, usually after an exchange of cash.
Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now.
Carmakers have been lobbying hard to have the EU’s emissions targets, or at least their enforcement, relaxed, claiming they were on the hook for up to €16 billion ($28 billion) in fines. Money, they said, they couldn’t afford to lose given strong competition from Chinese and American EV manufacturers.
Currently companies with fleet-wide average emissions over the EU’s target are liable to pay up to €95 ($165) per gram over on every vehicle sold.
European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said the change would give automakers “breathing space” to meet their obligations. Critics counter the industry has had many years to adapt to the stricter targets.
Sigrid de Vries, director general of the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, said in a statement the change was a “step in the right direction that acknowledges the complexities and the ongoing difficulties of the automotive market, with slow market uptake and a lack of domestic value chain for batteries”.
The changes passed the European Parliament 458 to 101 with 14 abstentions. Now that the rule change has been approved by the European Parliament and European Commission, it awaits formal ratification by the European Council.
This revised rule represents another win for the carmakers’ lobbying group. Last year the EU passed watered down Euro 7 emissions regulations.
Due to come into force in 2030, Euro 7 includes new brake particle emissions limits, minimum performance requirements for battery durability in hybrid and electric cars, and tyre abrasion limits.
Crucially, though, instead of reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by 35 per cent and tailpipe particulates by 13 per cent compared with Euro 6 as originally intended, the EU agreed to keep current restrictions in place for passenger cars and vans.
This came after intense lobbying from carmakers, some of whom argued tougher emissions rules would soak up time and resources they needed to meet the EU’s goal of banning the sale of new petrol- and diesel-powered cars by 2035. | 2025-05-13T00:24:57Z | true |

The figure, reported to Fox News Digital by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), represents a more than 20% increase from the number of Iranians killed in 2023, which saw 853 Iranians executed by the regime.
In his race for the presidency, Pezeshkian aligned himself with moderates and reformists angry with the regime following the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini and the subsequent protests.
In a 2024 televised debate just days before he won the election in a record-low turnout, he reportedly said, "We are losing our backing in the society, because of our behavior, high prices, our treatment of girls and because we censor the internet."
"People are discontent with us because of our behavior," he added, prompting hope that Pezeshkian – who has also expressed a willingness to engage with the U.S. in nuclear negotiations – might bring some reform Iranians had long pushed for from the oppressive regime.
But executions targeting those arrested for drug-related offenses, dissents and those involved in the 2022 protests have only increased – including the increased killings of women and those who were minors at the time of their alleged offense.
"Such levels of savagery and brutality reflect the deadly deadlock in which the ruling religious fascism in Iran is trapped," the NCRI said in a statement on Monday. "[Supreme Leader of Iran Ali] Khamenei is desperately trying to prevent a nationwide uprising and the inevitable overthrow of his regime through executions and killings."
Amnesty International reported earlier this month that girls as young as 9 years old can be sentenced to execution, while for boys it starts at age 15.
"At least 73 young offenders were executed between 2005 and 2015. And the authorities show no sign of stopping this horrific practice," the organization added, noting that the U.N. reports there are at least 160 people facing death row for crimes they committed while under the age of 18, though it also notes that that number is likely a low representation of the actual figures.
The human rights atrocities come as the U.S. is looking to secure a nuclear deal with Tehran, and officials are calling on the international community to consider Iran’s record of abuse in its negotiations with the regime.
Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the NCRI, has "urged the international community to condition any dealings with the regime on the cessation of torture and executions, refer Iran’s human rights violations file to the U.N. Security Council, and, as requested by the U.N. special rapporteur in the July 2024 report, bring Ali Khamenei and other regime leaders to justice for crimes against humanity and genocide."
"After suffering irreparable setbacks in the region and facing the growing threat of an uprising and overthrow, the regime has brutally accelerated executions and massacres," she said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
She has also called on the Iranian people, "especially the youth," to protest the executions by joining the "No to Execution" movement.
However, students across Iran face a real threat in opposing the regime, as Pezeshkian and Iran’s minister of education, Alireza Kazemi, have reportedly dispatched State Security Forces to tamp down on what Khamenei has deemed "cultural infiltration, the enemy’s lifestyle, and hostile temptations" targeting Iran’s youth. | 2025-04-22T16:06:00Z | false |

Desde la ría del Eo, en el límite con Galicia, hasta el río Deva, que la separa de Cantabria, la costa asturiana se extiende más de 300 kilómetros. Dieciocho pueblos marineros y más de doscientas playas salpican este litoral esculpido por las olas del Cantábrico. Una costa que, como ocurre con el resto de Asturias, ofrece una magnífica gastronomía en la que conviven bien la cocina actual y otra popular que, en lo que a cocina marinera se refiere, se basa en preparaciones sencillas de los excelentes productos del mar, con menos fama que los gallegos pero sin nada que envidiarles.
La parte occidental ofrece restaurantes sencillos en los que se come francamente bien. El primero que encontramos es Casa Vicente, en Castropol (Avenida de Galicia, s/n. Castropol. 985 635 051), al fondo de la ría del Eo, con buen producto del mar. Hay que dejarse llevar por las recomendaciones del día. Unos kilómetros más allá, en la coqueta playa de Porcía, abre este año 'Bar Restaurante Playa Porcía', que ocupa el espacio en el que estaba el chiringuito 'Menos Mal', con preciosas vistas sobre el mar. Siguiendo hacia el este, a un paso del cabo de Ortiguera, situado sobre el puerto y el mar Cantábrico, Ferpel (Carretera al Puerto, s/n. Ortiguera, Coaña) es una buena opción para comer en esta zona ya próxima a Galicia de la mano de Elio Fernández.
Llegamos luego a Puerto de Vega, histórico puerto ballenero, donde destacan el Mesón Centro (Plaza de Cupido. 985 64 85 67) y La Marina (Paseo del Muelle). El primero, en la parte alta del pueblo, con una agradable terraza. Mary Fernández ha sido capaz de dar nuevas vueltas de tuerca a la oferta tradicional de esa localidad pesquera. El segundo, en el muelle, cuenta con buen producto local: pescados muy frescos, pulpo a la gallega o recomendables calamares fritos. A pocos kilómetros, en el puerto de la turística Luarca, Sport (Rivero, 9. 985 641 078) es una referencia que no suele fallar.
Ya en la parte central de Asturias, imprescindible el Real Balneario de Salinas (Juan Sitges, 3. Salinas.), uno de los grandes restaurantes de producto de España. En la misma arena de la playa, con una cocina de mucha categoría. Materia prima excepcional, elaboraciones actuales, servicio de altura y carta de vinos sobresaliente. Entre Avilés y Gijón, en la playa de Bañugues está una de las pocas arrocerías que merecen la pena en el Principado, Mi Candelita. Un antiguo merendero colgado sobre la misma playa donde brasas y arroces son protagonistas.
La siguiente etapa está en Gijón, con una amplísima oferta de restaurantes y sidrerías. Puesto que nuestro recorrido se centra en el mar visitamos Auga (Claudio Alvargonzález, s/n.), un bonito enclave en el puerto deportivo. Gonzalo Pañeda, en la cocina, y su socio Toni Pérez, al frente de la sala y de una buena carta de vinos, ponen en valor el mejor producto de la tierra. También en Gijón, en el segundo piso del Acuario, con vistas del puerto y de la playa de Poniente, está Kraken, donde la cocinera Lara Roguez ofrece una personal fusión astur-oriental.
Guía útil para comer con acierto en sitios que apuestan por la tradición o por la creatividad
Seguimos por la costa y tras un breve desvío llegamos a Tazones, pueblecito marinero en cuyo puerto hay varios locales para disfrutar la cocina del mar. Tabernas modestas, incómodas incluso, donde la calidad del producto hace olvidar cualquier inconveniente. La que más nos gusta es El Rompeolas (San Miguel, 21. Tazones. 985 89 70 13), una de las más cercanas al mar: centollo o langosta del Cantábrico, santiaguiños, calamares fritos... No muy lejos, en Lastres, una parada en Casa Eutimio (San Antonio, s/n.), un buen restaurante de cocina tradicional al que la joven María Busta ha dado un empujón muy importante. Y para cocina popular de nivel y junto al mar, Vista Alegre, en la playa de La Griega, en Colunga. Su fabada, ganadora de varios campeonatos, y su pote de berzas son imprescindibles, como lo son los pescados y mariscos del día, en preparaciones sencillas.
Ribadesella es la localidad más turística de la costa oriental asturiana. Y su oferta gastronómica está a la altura. En la playa de Vega, en las afueras de la localidad, Güeyu Mar (Playa de Vega, 84), es uno de los pocos asadores que rompen la hegemonía de los vascos a la hora de hablar de pescados y mariscos a la brasa. Abel Álvarez maneja en las parrillas un producto excepcional procedente en su mayor parte del Cantábrico. Pescados y mariscos que hace en la brasa con técnicas muy trabajadas. En el precioso hotel Villa Rosario, en primera línea de la playa de Ribadesella, Ayalga (Dionisio Ruisánchez, 6) es un flamante estrella Michelin con una cocina con técnica y sabrosa. Al lado de la playa, en un local algo escondido, se encuentra Quince Nudos (Avelina Cerra, 6), donde Bruno Lombán elabora algunos de los mejores arroces que se pueden comer en Asturias. Pero hay bastante más, con una cocina fresca y resuelta con acierto. Terminamos nuestra ruta costera en Celorio, muy cerca de Llanes. En Castru el Gaiteru (Ería de la Vega, s/n.) Pedro Noriega ha centrado su línea de trabajo principalmente en las brasas, que maneja con acierto. | 2022-08-21T00:26:21Z | true |
Robert De Niro in Cannes: Wenn der Film gar nicht mehr so wichtig ist | Die Tageszeitung (taz) | https://taz.de/Filmfestspiele-Cannes-Preistraeger-Robert-De-Niro-greift-Trump-an/!6084688/ | [

Wenn im Festivalpalast von Cannes die Eröffnungsgala über die Bühne geht, nutzen die Sprecher des Abends dies in der Regel für eine Selbstfeier der Filmfestspiele. Man kann dann leicht den Eindruck gewinnen, dass die übrige Welt da draußen aufhört zu existieren oder zumindest nicht mehr ganz so wichtig ist.
Bei der Eröffnung der 78. Filmfestspiele von Cannes fiel auf, wie sehr die Sprecher bei aller Ehrerbietung gegenüber dem Festival vor allem auf aktuelle Entwicklungen von allgemeinerer Tragweite hinzuweisen bemüht waren. Schon der Moderator, der Schauspieler Laurent Lafitte, nannte in seiner Aufzählung der Namen von Kollegen zahlreiche Beispiele für Stars, die sich politisch engagierten, von Josephine Baker, Marlene Dietrich und Adèle Haenel bis zu Wolodymyr Selenskyj, womit Lafitte zugleich an die Karriere des ukrainischen Präsidenten vor seiner politischen Laufbahn erinnerte.
Ihren Mut solle man sich als Beispiel nehmen. Ganz ohne branchentypische Eitelkeiten ging das allerdings doch nicht. So ließ es Lafitte sich nicht nehmen, auf die große Erfahrung von Schauspielern hinzuweisen. Er habe in 73 Filmen mitgespielt, der Regisseur Stanley Kubrick hingegen habe gerade einmal 13 Filme gedreht.
Anschließend ging die Jurypräsidentin, die Schauspielerin Juliette Binoche, in ihrer Rede auf den Nahostkonflikt ein, erwähnte die Geiseln des 7. Oktobers 2023, um kurz darauf die Arbeit der im April bei einem Luftangriff im Gazastreifen getöteten palästinensischen Fotojournalistin Fatima Hassouna als Beispiel für widerständige Kunst zu nennen. Binoche war wenige Stunden zuvor auf einer Pressekonferenz gefragt worden, warum sie einen aktuellen offenen Brief der internationalen Filmbranche, der den Tod Hassounas verurteilt, nicht unterzeichnet habe. Die Frage ließ sie unbeantwortet. Warum auch sollten für Prominente derartige Zugzwänge überhaupt bestehen?
Besonders bewegend war an diesem Abend der Auftritt des mit der Ehrenpalme für sein Lebenswerk geehrten US-amerikanischen Schauspielers Robert De Niro. Der ließ nicht lange auf sich warten, bis er auf die gefährdete Demokratie seines Landes zu sprechen kam. Sie kämpften „mit Klauen und Zähnen“ für deren Erhalt. Was auch für die Kunst gelte, die eine Bedrohung für „Autokraten und Faschisten“ sei. Und direkt an die Adresse Trumps gerichtet sagte De Niro: „Amerikas philisterhafter Präsident hat sich selbst zum Leiter einer unserer wichtigsten Kultureinrichtungen ernannt. Er hat die Mittel und die Unterstützung für die Künste, die Geisteswissenschaften und die Bildung gekürzt.“
Die Zölle in Höhe von 100 Prozent auf außerhalb der USA produzierte Film nannte De Niro inakzeptabel und wies darauf hin, dass diese ein globales Problem seien: „Wir müssen handeln, und wir müssen jetzt handeln, ohne Gewalt, aber mit großer Leidenschaft und Entschlossenheit. Es ist an der Zeit, dass jeder, dem die Freiheit am Herzen liegt, sich organisiert, protestiert und, wenn es Wahlen gibt, natürlich auch wählt.“
Dass danach der Eröffnungsfilm, „Partir un jour“, das Spielfilmdebüt der Regisseurin Amélie Bonnin, nur wenig überzeugte, war da schon nicht mehr so entscheidend. Gut anderthalb Stunden durfte man der angehenden Restaurantchefin Cécile (ungekünstelt: Juliette Armanet) bei ihrer Rückkehr zu den Eltern in die Provinz zusehen.
Beim Hadern mit ihrer Schwangerschaft, von der ihr Partner nichts weiß, beim Sich-wieder-Annähern an ihren Jugendschwarm Raphaël, den der kaum wiederzuerkennende Bastien Bouillon mit überzogener Jungenhaftigkeit gibt. Und beim unmotivierten Lossingen, denn das ganze ist eine Musical-Komödie. Mit kaum erinnerungswürdigen Momenten, selbst da, wo ein Klassiker wie „Parole parole“ von Mina durch den Kakao gezogen wird. Das ist alles beiläufig inszeniert, aber so, dass Bonnin am Ende bei selbstverliebter Belanglosigkeit landet. Egal. | 2025-05-14T18:05:00Z | true |

] | A man died while attempting to rescue his dog from the ocean in the Bay Area shortly after entering the surf, officials say.
Witnesses saw a full-clothed man, believed to be middle-aged, enter the water along Ocean Beach just before 2:10 p.m., the San Francisco Fire Department said in a statement late Thursday.
After entering the surf line to save his pet, the man collapsed in the water for “unknown reasons,” officials said. On Friday, it was still not clear what caused the victim to lose his footing.
The fire department said two women who were nearby rushed into the ocean in an attempt to rescue the man, dragging him out of the water to shore to provide life-saving support before calling 911.
Ocean Rescue personnel arrived at the scene within two minutes of the dispatch call being made and immediately started CPR. Paramedics from the fire service arrived four minutes later and initiated advanced life support.
The man was transported to a local hospital in critical condition, where he finally succumbed to his injuries. The dog, however, managed to return to shore on its own, uninjured, officials said.
Authorities have not yet announced any plans for a formal investigation.
Ocean Beach is known for its powerful, channeled currents, even during calm weather. Treacherous rip currents and danger areas are constantly changing due to multi-directional swells creating holes in the sandbar.
Fire officials reminded beachgoers to be careful in the ocean and not to go after pets if they are in distress.
“This is an unfortunate reminder not to enter the water for humans or pets but rather, to call 911,” the fire department wrote in its statement.
Sukai Curtis-Contreras, a spokesperson for the San Francisco Fire Department, told KTVU that people can be pulled into the surf’s unique currents in even ankle-deep water.
The man’s identity has not been made public, nor have the identities of the two women who attempted to save his life.
The Independent has contacted the San Francisco Fire Department for more information. | 2025-05-09T11:53:12Z | true |

Dibujar es su vía de escape y componer la mejor terapia
Su corazón roto le ha valido varios éxitos musicales. Temas como Juramento eterno de sal o Todo contigo se han convertido en himnos de una generación saturada de letras banales y ritmos traperos. Aunque a primera vista Álvaro de Luna parece un rebelde de sonrisa peligrosa, una conversación de cinco minutos con él basta para ver que, en el fondo, es algo tímido y prefiere la intimidad de su casa a la juerga nocturna. Cocinar es uno de sus talentos escondidos, como dibujar y su amor por el cine. Como cantautor, Álvaro de Luna prefiere ser franco, abrirse en canal y compartir a modo de terapia.
El sevillano de 31 años se declara enamorado de los escenarios, aunque odia pasar tanto tiempo lejos de los suyos. “Te pierdes muchas cosas”, asegura. Después de triunfar con su banda Sinsinati y también con su debut en solitario, el artista está preparado para profundizar, probar nuevos sonidos y tocar temáticas más trascendentales.
Arrancó su andadura en la música con el grupo Sinsinati. ¿Cómo vivió el salto a cantar en solitario?
De hecho, todo empezó en Londres. A mí siempre me había gustado cantar y tocar la guitarra con amigos en la playa, pero tenía pánico escénico y cuando me mudé al Reino Unido empecé a trabajar en un bar que se llamaba The Elephant’s Head, en Camden, de ahí que mi marca personal sea un elefante. Allí fue donde perdí el pudor a cantar en público y donde tomé la decisión de dedicarme a esto. Más tarde, un amigo me propuso formar Sinsinati para participar en un concurso que si ganabas te pagaban la producción de tres maquetas. El proyecto prosperó, pero con el tiempo me di cuenta que las canciones que componía contaban una historia mía, personal, y no tenía sentido trasladarlo a una banda.
Habla de 'Levantaremos al sol', que llegó a disco platino en España. ¿Qué historia personal comparte en él?
Habla del proceso de enamorarse de alguien, desde los inicios y ese momento que vives cosas buenas hasta que se rompe.
¿Componer es para usted una forma de sanar?
Es terapéutico. Empecé a escribir porque yo crecí con mis abuelos y lo pasé muy mal cuando fallecieron. Muchas veces escribo sobre traumas o miedos, y si cuando lo releo ya no me duele, para mí significa que ya está sanado. He escrito canciones que no saldrán nunca a la luz pero me sirven para estar en paz conmigo mismo.
¿Guarda canciones escritas en un cajón bajo llave?
E incluso producidas y grabadas. De momento no las escuchará nadie. A lo mejor en algún punto de mi vida decido compartirlas, pero ahora mismo no es mi intención.
¿Lo mejor y lo peor de dedicarse a la música?
Lo más bonito, sin duda, es escribir canciones, compartir tus historias con la gente, grabar en el estudio y subir al escenario. Lo peor, la sobreexposición y, aunque me encanta hacer conciertos, no me gusta mucho ir de gira y estar tanto tiempo viajando. Ojalá poder teletransportarse y volver a casa después de cada concierto para seguir con mi vida.
¿La fama le pesa?
En algunos momentos no lo he llevado bien. Hay gente que lo gestiona mejor, pero no es algo que yo buscara, sino que se dio así. Ahora me lo tomo con más calma y tranquilidad. Al fin y al cabo, la vida no es lo que te pasa, sino cómo te enfrentas a ello.
¿Antes de subir al escenario tiene algún ritual concreto?
Con la banda decimos unas palabras y brindamos con un chupito, cada uno de lo que le gusta.
¿De qué lo toma usted?
Yo antes hacía tequila, pero últimamente me lo tomo de vodka porque el tequila...
¿Qué nos puede avanzar sobre su nuevo disco?
Hay un cambio a nivel compositivo y sonoro. Siento que es un disco más maduro y muy honesto, que abarca temas más allá del amor o el desamor. En él hablo de la ansiedad, por ejemplo. Pasé una racha personal en la que de repente sentí demasiada presión y ansiedad. Quiero contar cosas que me han pasado y poder dar visibilidad a temas importantes porque, al fin y al cabo, mi público es amplio pero gran parte de él es joven. Pienso que, a lo mejor, si alguien a quien admiras trata temas como la ansiedad con naturalidad y lo canta sobre un escenario, puede darte la valentía necesaria para hablar con alguien y buscar ayuda si la necesitas.
¿Toma como misión personal crear canciones con mensaje?
No quiero hacer una canción bonita sin más, sino que provoque cosas en quien la escucha. Quiero hacer las cosas desde la honestidad, intentar que el mensaje sea lo más franco posible y que de alguna manera cale o sirva de algo para alguien.
¿Y quién le ha calado a usted?
No me cierro a nada, me nutro de muchos estilos y me han calado muchos artistas. Por ejemplo, así recientes, Lia Kali, que estuvo conmigo en La Voz, ha sacado un disco impresionante; el álbum I’ve tried everything but therapy de Teddy Swims; Barry B es increíble, y el disco Continuum de John Mayer me dejó seco. Es mi artista favorito.
Un 'guilty pleasure' recurrente en su Spotify.
Justin Bieber cien por cien.
Prepara un gran concierto para el 10 de mayo en el Movistar Arena de Madrid. ¿Qué escenario le queda por conquistar?
Estamos trabajando muy duro en ese concierto porque será algo grande. Como sueño loco te diría que en algún momento de mi vida me encantaría tocar en un gran festival como el Coachella. Sería increíble. | 2025-05-03T04:55:00Z | true |

1 Mayıs üniversitelerin tatil olup olmadığ araştırılıyor. 1 Mayıs, dünya genelinde işçi ve emekçilerin birlik, dayanışma ve mücadele günü olan Emek ve Dayanışma Günü olarak kabul edilmektedir. Türkiye'de de uzun yıllar süren mücadelelerin ardından 2009 yılında resmi tatil ilan edilen 1 Mayıs, çalışanlar için önemli bir dinlenme ve kutlama günü anlamına geliyor.

1 MAYIS TÜRKİYE’DE İLK NE ZAMAN KUTLANDI?
1 Mayıs, Türkiye topraklarında ilk kez Osmanlı Devleti döneminde, 1911 yılında Selanik’te kutlandı. Tütün, pamuk ve liman işçileri, bu anlamlı günü bir gösteriyle anarak işçi haklarına dikkat çekti. Bir yıl sonra, 1912’de İstanbul’da da 1 Mayıs kutlaması gerçekleştirildi. Ancak bu kutlamalar, dönemin siyasi koşulları nedeniyle sınırlı kaldı. Cumhuriyetin ilanıyla birlikte 1 Mayıs, 1923 yılında resmi olarak “İşçi Bayramı” adıyla kutlanmaya başlandı. Sovyetler Birliği ile dostluk ilişkileri çerçevesinde 1922’de Ankara’da yapılan kutlamalar, resmiyet kazanmadan önceki önemli bir adımdı. Ancak 1924 yılında kitlesel kutlamalar hükümet tarafından yasaklandı ve 1925’te çıkarılan Takrir-i Sükun yasasıyla 1935’e kadar bu yasak devam etti.
1 MAYIS NE ZAMAN RESMİ TATİL OLDU?
1 Mayıs, Türkiye’de uzun yıllar boyunca kesintilere uğrayan bir bayram oldu. 1935 yılında “Bahar ve Çiçek Bayramı” adıyla ücretsiz tatil günü ilan edilse de, işçi haklarıyla bağlantısı koparıldı. 1976’da Devrimci İşçi Sendikaları Konfederasyonu (DİSK) öncülüğünde Taksim Meydanı’nda geniş katılımlı bir kutlama yapıldı, ancak 1977’deki “Kanlı 1 Mayıs” olayları, 34 kişinin hayatını kaybetmesiyle tarihe kara bir leke olarak geçti. 1980 darbesi sonrası 1 Mayıs kutlamaları tamamen yasaklandı ve resmi tatil statüsü kaldırıldı. Yıllar süren mücadelelerin ardından, 22 Nisan 2009 tarihinde TBMM’de kabul edilen 5892 sayılı yasayla 1 Mayıs, “Emek ve Dayanışma Günü” olarak resmi tatil ilan edildi. 27 Nisan 2009’da Resmi Gazete’de yayımlanarak yürürlüğe giren bu karar, 1 Mayıs’ın Türkiye’de yeniden resmi bir bayram olarak kutlanmasını sağladı. | 2025-04-30T08:42:15Z | true |
With floods on the rise, one English city is turning to beavers’ wisdom and wooden barriers | Malay Mail | https://www.malaymail.com/news/life/2025/05/12/with-floods-on-the-rise-one-english-city-is-turning-to-beavers-wisdom-and-wooden-barriers/176507 | [

] | LEICESTER, May 12 — In a stream near Leicester in central England, six volunteers in waterproof overalls and boots busily reinforced mini wooden structures designed to combat the rising flooding threat.
The city, like many others in the UK, has experienced several intense rainfall events in recent years, which have caused significant damage.
Alert to climate change, which intensifies these events, authorities are strengthening their defences and turning to solutions more sympathetic with the environment.
With their feet firmly planted on the bed of the Saffron Brook, a tributary of the River Soar that runs through Leicester, the volunteers ensured the structures’ wooden bundles were securely anchored.
These structures create bends that “change the behaviour of the river” and slow down water in stretches where it currently flows “straight and very fast,” said Dan Scott, who leads the programme at the Trent Rivers Trust, a local group working to protect rivers.
He regularly oversees the installation of new facilities.
A few months ago, the trust dug a pond on a river near the town of Loughborough and installed dozens of leaky wooden barriers to better protect downstream houses that flooded in the past.
These techniques are “complementary to traditional flood defences” such as retention basins and canals that are increasingly under strain, Scott said.
They “help to store some of that water upstream so that those traditional flood defences don’t get overwhelmed, and if they do, it’s not as quickly as if these features weren’t in place,” he added.
They also help to maintain biodiversity.
‘Urgent problem’
More than 6.3 million properties are at risk of flooding in the UK, and this figure will rise to more than eight million by 2050, according to a recent government report.
“Flooding is a really urgent societal problem,” said Steven Forest, director of the Flood Risk Management Program at the University of Hull.
Climate events resulted in UK insurance payouts of more than £400 million (RM2.27 billion) in 2022 and more than £570 million in 2023 and 2024, half of which was related to flooding, according to the Association of British Insurers.
Beyond traditional defences, “we need to think about living with water, and we need to think about integrating water within our urban spaces,” Forest added.
He cited the Netherlands, which allocates space for rivers to drain during heavy rainfall, and the United States, where vegetation “buffer zones” were created after Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
“Straight-jacketing” waterways with various infrastructure is no longer sufficient, Forest said, especially since seven percent of such structures were assessed to be in “poor” or “very poor” condition by the UK Environment Agency in 2022.
Overcoming scepticism
But convincing residents and authorities is not always an easy task as it often needs explaining that “just because we’ve not built a concrete solution, that it isn’t going to be as effective,” Scott said.
“It’s also about re-educating people in government because it’s easier for them to sell something (to voters) that’s physical and much more prominent within the landscape,” he added.
Traditional developments attracted the lion’s share of the £2.6 billion announced by the government in March to fund new flood defence systems over the next two years.
But Scott noted a greater interest in natural flood management over the past five years, with the previous government launching a £25 million programme last year.
As a result, Leicester will be able to develop several waterways southeast of the city, and 35 other projects have been selected in England.
“It is encouraging that our successful approach to natural flood management measures is continuing to be supported,” Geoff Whittle, a local councillor responsible for the environment, told AFP.
Contemplating the fruits of her labour in Saffron, 50-year-old volunteer Lis Gibbs told AFP that “it feels like you can make a difference,” in contrast to climate change in general, which “can feel really overwhelming”. — AFP | 2025-05-12T13:00:00Z | true |

] | LONDON/NEW YORK, May 5 — When US President Donald Trump decided to seek a second term in the White House, Doris Davis and Susie Bartlett – an interracial lesbian couple living in New York City – made a life-changing decision.
If he won, they would move abroad. The couple said they had been willing to give Trump a go during his first term, but they’d watched in alarm as he returned to office and ended a range of policies aimed at promoting racial equity and rights for LGBTQ+ people.
“We love this country, but we don’t love what it has become,” Davis, a 69-year-old educational consultant, said from their home in a New York City suburb. “When your identity is being attacked, there is a personal sense of... anger (and) frustration.” Now, they’re working with an immigration lawyer to assess options in Europe. The couple is most interested in Portugal and Spain, attracted by the southern European lifestyle, and are looking at a digital nomad or retirement visa. Bartlett, who is 52, is retired.
“It saddens me to move,” said Davis, who’ll be sorry to leave her local community behind. “But it’s also a situation, politically and socially, that is unacceptable.”
Government visa and citizenship data, as well as Reuters’ interviews with eight relocation firms, indicate an increased number of Americans are considering moving to Europe in the wake of Trump’s election – though the figures remain quite small for a nation of 340 million people. US applications for Irish passports were at their highest level in a decade in the first two months of this year. Average monthly application in January and February of nearly 4,300 were up around 60 per cent from last year, according to data from Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs. In France, government data showed that long-stay visa requests from Americans stood at 2,383 in the first three months of 2025, compared to a total of 1,980 over the same period last year.
From January to March, French authorities have granted 2,178 long-stay visas versus 1,787 the year before.
And applications for UK passports in the last three months of 2024 – the latest period for which data is available – were a record of any quarter in the past two decades, with 1,708 applications submitted. Relocation companies and websites helping people emigrate say that, at any given time in recent years, a significant number of Americans have shown an interest in moving abroad, citing issues including political divisions and gun violence.
Italian immigration advisor Marco Permunian, founder of Italian Citizenship Assistance, said the election of Democratic President Joe Biden in 2020 led to an increase in interest too, mainly from Republican voters.
But most of the relocation firms that Reuters spoke to said there has been a larger spike in interest since Trump returned to the White House, with many clients expressing concern over the direction of policy and social issues.
Overwhelming demand
Some Hollywood stars left the US after Trump’s re-election in November, including talk show hosts Ellen de DeGeneres and Rosie O’Donnell, sparking media attention.
Thea Duncan, founder of Milan-based relocation business ‘Doing Italy’, said she has been receiving enquiries nearly every day since the election from ordinary Americans seeking information.
“People are uncertain about what’s happening and what’s going to happen,” Duncan said.
In Britain, a company of immigration lawyers called Immigration Advice Service said it had seen a more than 25 per cent increase in enquiries from the US
Its director, Ono Okeregha, said several clients had expressed worries over political changes under the Trump administration, particularly over rights for same-sex couples as several states consider weakening protections for their marriages. Wendy Newman, a 57-year-old photographer, moved to London with her husband in 2022 in part because of the increasing political polarisation back home. She said she felt her rights were more secure in Britain, where she wants to stay permanently. She hopes her daughter, who still lives in the US but is applying for university in Britain, can move too. “We just feel like there’s just too much at risk for her to stay there,” said Newman, fearful of curbs on women’s reproductive rights in the US and what she described as Trump’s “misogynistic tendencies”.
Trump has denied repeatedly allegations of misogyny and sexual misconduct, describing accusations in 2017 as “fake news”. Blaxit, a company that helps Black Americans move abroad, saw traffic to its site jump over 50 per cent following the election, its founder Chrishan Wright said. It has also seen a 20 per cent increase in its paid membership community, Blaxit Global Passport, which costs US$16.99 per month, she said.
Wright, originally from New York, moved to Portugal two years ago and said Trump returning to the White House reassured her that she had made the right decision. According to an exit poll by Edison Research, Trump won just 13 per cent of Black voters in November, 1 percentage point higher than 2020, while Kamala Harris garnered 86 per cent .
‘Relative safety’
Also feeling disillusioned, a young transgender couple living in Colorado, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of being targeted, said they are hoping to secure a student visa to start a new life in Italy. Trump has said the United States would recognise only two sexes, male and female. He has also sought to restrict gender transition care for people under 19 and to ban transgender people from serving in the US military.
But they are under no illusion Europe will be perfect, as right-wing populist parties make political gains across the continent, including in Italy - where the conservative government portrays itself as a guardian of traditional values. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni vowed, when she came to power in 2022, to combat what she calls the “LGBT lobby” and to defend the “natural family”.
In Germany, far-right
Alternative for Germany came second in February’s federal election. In neighbouring France, Marine Le Pen, leader of far-right National Rally party, had been a front-runner in opinion polls for the 2027 presidential election but was banned last month from running for office for five years.
Wright, from Blaxit, said the political situation in some European countries was “troublesome” but many Americans remained interested in coming to the continent regardless. Knowing exactly how many people will follow through on their interest is difficult, said Julien Faliu, founder and CEO of online expatriate community Expat.com.
Faliu said Expat.com saw an increase of around 26 per cent in requests from Americans over the last two years. “I’ve been talking to US citizens who say: ‘If Trump is re-elected, we will be moving’. He got re-elected, so now what are you doing?” Faliu said.
“When there’s an election, it’s always like that.”
Hurdles everywhere
There are many hurdles for would-be expats.
Relocate.me, a relocation platform, identified some of the disincentives: difficulties in securing jobs abroad, restrictions on remote work, lower salaries in Europe, and the US tax system – which taxes its citizens on worldwide income.
For those who proceed, however, there are several visa options. Digital nomads visa for remote workers in countries such as Portugal, Spain and Italy are popular. Retirement visas, work permits and student visas are also in high demand, according to relocation firms. But some Europeans – already struggling to cope with mass tourism and a housing crisis – don’t relish the prospect of more foreign arrivals. National authorities are restricting some controversial schemes that offered access to visas for the wealthy. The option of buying real estate to secure a golden visa is no longer a possibility in Portugal, and the Spanish scheme ended in April after the system was criticised for stoking an affordable housing crisis.
Rebeca Caballero, from Spanish real estate developer Gilmar, said they had received an influx of interest from American clients in the six months before the scheme ended. “I secured investments from three clients who bought homes for the golden visa without even coming to see them,” Caballero said. — Reuters | 2025-05-04T23:00:00Z | true |

] | KUALA LUMPUR, May 1 — Government-linked investment companies (GLICs) have collectively implemented a living wage policy, ensuring all permanent Malaysian employees now earn above the monthly living wage threshold.
The GLICs that have met this commitment include Khazanah Nasional Bhd, Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB), the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (Diperbadankan) (KWAP), Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT) and Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH).
In a joint statement issued by the six GLICs today, Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said that the collective move by the GLICs to implement a living wage is an important step to “raise the floor”, ensuring that growth is both inclusive and firmly rooted in the well-being of Malaysians.
“The living wage implementation forms part of the GEAR-uP initiative led by the Ministry of Finance that seeks synergised efforts across GLICs to catalyse growth in key economic sectors in Malaysia, with the dual objectives of ‘raising the ceiling’ and ‘raising the floor’.
“The benchmark living wage has been set at approximately RM3,100 monthly, which is higher than the RM1,700 monthly minimum wage announced in Budget 2025 and implemented on February 1, 2025,” the statement said.
It said this figure is based on a comparative analysis of industry wages and cost of living standards as outlined in the Belanjawanku 2024/2025 Expenditure Guide.
“The Belanjawanku Expenditure Guide, which was jointly developed by EPF and the Social Wellbeing Research Centre, Universiti Malaya, provides estimates of minimum monthly expenses needed for a good standard of living.
“The living wage approach empowers employers to offer total compensation that goes beyond base salary, encompassing a range of benefits that enhance an individual’s quality of life, including healthcare, retirement plans and savings mechanisms,” it said. — Bernama | 2025-05-01T05:54:24Z | true |

] | Police have launched an investigation after officers were called to reports of a body hanging from a bridge – only to discover it was a mannequin.
Someone had tied the hands of the “life-like” object and put a bag over its head, Hampshire Police said.
The scene at a rail bridge in Hythe, near Southampton, caused significant distress to members of the public who witnessed it, and resulted in 14 emergency services personnel being “needlessly” called out in response, the force said.
Detectives are appealing for witnesses and have urged anyone with information about who may have staged the incident to come forward.
Police were called to the bridge near Hythe fire station shortly before 10:30pm on Friday, the force said.
Hampshire Police said in a statement: “When officers attended, it became clear that this was in fact a mannequin hanging from the bridge which someone had tied the hands of and put a bag over its head.
“This caused a lot of distress to members of the public who saw this, due to how life-like the mannequin was.
“It also meant that 14 emergency services personnel were needlessly called to the scene from the police, ambulance and fire services. Incidents such as this could prevent the services helping members of the public who really need it.
“We urge anyone with information about who may have staged this to come forward.”
One woman who said their son had called the police because others who witnessed the scene were “too shocked” to do so wrote on social media: “Completely sick and such a waste of already stretched resources. I hope they catch the culprits.” | 2025-04-14T14:25:43Z | true |

Um das zu vermeiden, sollte man vorbereitet sein. | Wer mit Karte zahlt, bekommt immer häufiger Trinkgeldvorschläge angezeigt. Das verleitet dazu, mehr zu geben, als eigentlich gewollt. Um das zu vermeiden, sollte man vorbereitet sein.
Berlin/Köln - Ob beim Bäcker, Friseur oder dem Kiosk um die Ecke: Wer mit Karte zahlt, bekommt auf dem Display des Kartenterminals inzwischen immer häufiger ein Auswahlmenü mit verschiedenen Trinkgeldoptionen angezeigt. Wählen lässt sich oft aus vier Möglichkeiten - etwa 10, 15 und 20 Prozent Trinkgeldaufschlag sowie jener, kein Trinkgeld zu geben.
Wer das zum ersten Mal erlebt, ist womöglich etwas überrumpelt - zum einen, weil Trinkgeld in Deutschland für gewöhnlich nicht quasi vom Verkäufer gefordert, sondern vom Kunden aus eigenem Antrieb gegeben wird. Zum anderen, weil es die Optionen häufig dort gibt, wo man zuvor gar nicht ans Geben eines Trinkgelds gedacht hätte - also etwa überall dort, wo man nicht am Tisch bedient wird, sondern sich selbst bedient oder nur etwas am Tresen kauft.
Fachleute nennen das Nudging, wenn Menschen im Alltag kleine Schubser bekommen, die sie dazu bringen sollen, etwas Bestimmtes zu tun oder zu lassen - „ganz ohne Ge- oder Verbote“, sagt Wirtschaftspsychologin Prof. Julia Pitters von der IU Internationale Hochschule. „Man organisiert lieber das Umfeld der Menschen so, dass es einfacher für sie ist, sich zu entscheiden.“ Aber wer profitiert davon am Ende? Wir geben Antworten auf die wichtigsten Fragen zum Thema.
Was macht es mit Verbraucherinnen und Verbrauchern, wenn am Kartenterminal plötzlich Trinkgeldoptionen auftauchen?
„Die Reaktion hängt stark von der Persönlichkeit ab“, sagt Verhaltensökonom Prof. Dominik Enste vom Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft. Während einige das Angebot als Erleichterung wahrnähmen, weil sie bequem und ohne Rechnen Trinkgeld geben könnten, fühlten sich andere womöglich genötigt, Trinkgeld zu geben und könnten darauf mit Reaktanz reagieren - also aufgrund des Drucks erst recht kein Trinkgeld geben und die Örtlichkeit künftig meiden.
Aus Anbietersicht ist es Julia Pitters zufolge aber ein cleverer Schachzug, die Trinkgeld-Optionen auf dem Kartenterminal anzubieten. Weil die Trinkgeldgabe bei der Kartenzahlung sonst häufig in Vergessenheit gerate, kann dieser Denkanstoß hilfreich sein. „So weckt es den Eindruck, dass das üblich ist.“, sagt Pitters. Und weil Menschen sehr stark auf soziale Normen reagieren und nicht das Gefühl haben möchten, Abtrünnige zu sein, entschieden sie sich eben häufig dafür, ein Trinkgeld auszuwählen.
Geben Menschen bei Trinkgeldoptionen eher mehr oder weniger Trinkgeld?
Durch den Einsatz des Nudgings, womit Gäste bereits in die Richtung geschubst würden, überhaupt Trinkgeld zu geben, steige die Summe des Trinkgelds insgesamt an, sagt Dominik Enste.
Wie viel allerdings jeder Einzelne gibt, hängt nicht nur von dessen üblichen Trinkgeldgewohnheiten ab, sondern auch davon, welche Optionen auf dem Zahlungsterminal ausgewählt werden können. „Typischerweise drücken die Menschen in der Mitte“, sagt Enste. Ganz einfach deswegen, weil wir Extreme in der Regel scheuen.
Viele Händler und Geschäftsleute wüssten um diesen psychologischen Effekt, und wählten die Trinkgeldoptionen geschickt aus, sagt Julia Pütters. In Deutschland seien normalerweise Trinkgelder zwischen 5 und 10 Prozent üblich. Wenn die niedrigste Möglichkeit aber bei 10 Prozent beginnt, sei gleich „ein ganz anderer Anker gesetzt“. Weil Gäste und Kunden eben zur Mitte tendierten, wählten sie eben nicht die niedrigste Kategorie aus, sonst gäben eher mehr als die 10 Prozent Trinkgeld.
Warum fällt es Menschen so schwer, bei verschiedenen Optionen „kein Trinkgeld“ auszuwählen, obwohl das eigentlich ihre bevorzugte Wahl wäre?
Weil der Mensch ungern als sparsam oder gar geizig wahrgenommen werden wolle, sagt Julia Pitters. Doch gerade beim Zahlen am Kartenterminal würde die aktive Entscheidung gegen ein Trinkgeld mindestens vom Personal, womöglich aber sogar von Umstehenden unmittelbar wahrgenommen, sagt Philipp Rehberg von der Verbraucherzentrale Niedersachsen.
Dominik Enste zufolge liegt das in unseren Genen. In den kleinen Gemeinschaften, in denen Menschen früher lebten, kannte jeder jeden. Dort sprach es sich schnell herum, wer richtig knauserig und wer besonders großzügig war. „Wer nett war, konnte sich darauf verlassen, dass das dem eigenen Ansehen hilft und dass ihm die Großzügigkeit eines Tages zurückgezahlt wird“, so Enste. Dieses Urverhalten hat sich bis heute gehalten, weil die Menschen automatisch den Strategien folgten, die schon früher vorteilhaft für sie waren.
Selbst die Auswahl der niedrigst möglichen Trinkgeldoption - und seien es die ansonsten üblichen zehn Prozent - falle darum in Anbetracht der weiteren Möglichkeiten schwer, sagt Prof. Stefan Trautmann vom Alfred-Weber-Institute for Economics von der Uni Heidelberg. Immerhin sei das noch immer die knauserigste der Trinkgeldoptionen.
Wie schaffen es Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher, der Drucksituation zu entgehen und ihre Entscheidung über ihre Trinkgeldgabe freier und selbstbestimmter zu treffen?
„Wenn wir nicht lange Zeit zum Nachdenken haben, dann fallen wir schon immer wieder auf diese Dinge rein“, sagt Julia Pitters. „Dem können wir uns nicht entziehen.“ Darum könne es helfen, sich vor einer Zahlung bewusst zu machen, ob und wie viel Trinkgeld man geben wolle. So ist man weniger überrumpelt, falls am Kartenterminal plötzlich verschiedene Möglichkeiten auftauchen.
Auch der Austausch mit anderen könne dabei helfen, den inneren Kompass zu verschieben, sagt Pitters. So kann man unter Umständen feststellen, dass sich auch andere gelegentlich dazu hinreißen lassen, mehr Trinkgeld zu geben, als sie eigentlich möchten oder mitunter selbst gerne „kein Trinkgeld“ auswählen oder zumindest wählen würden.
Sonja Guettat von der Verbraucherzentrale Rheinland-Pfalz empfiehlt zudem, sich nicht zeitlich unter Druck setzen zu lassen, nur weil zum Beispiel eine lange Schlange hinter einem an der Kasse ist. Stattdessen sollte man selbstbewusst nachfragen, wenn keine der eigentlich gewünschten Trinkgeldoptionen angegeben ist und diese manuell eingeben (lassen).
Ist es überhaupt zulässig, wenn Händler die Trinkgeldoptionen aktiv anbieten?
Der Verbraucherschützerin Sonja Guettat zufolge ist nicht verboten, die Trinkgeldoptionen vorzuschlagen. „Es gibt allerdings keinen Rechtsanspruch auf Trinkgeld.“ Darum müsse gewährleistet sein, dass Kundinnen und Kunden am Kartenterminal immer auch die Option wählen könnten, kein Trinkgeld zu geben. | 2025-05-08T22:05:00Z | true |
Alfie Allen on Dealer’s Choice: ‘Maybe when it was written, men would just bury things and move on’ | The Independent | https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/theatre-dance/features/alfie-allen-dealers-choice-donmar-game-of-thrones-b2733741.html | [

"Alfie Allen",
"Poker",
"Internal"
] | Play the man, not the cards.” It’s a credo that goes to the heart of the game of poker – and it’s central to Patrick Marber’s 1995 play Dealer’s Choice, which is being revived at London’s Donmar Theatre this month. Poker is a simple game of statistical probability, but also a complex mesh of psychology and personality, and no one wins by relying on maths alone. In poker, the harder someone tries to make themselves unreadable, the more likely they are to show everything. It’s this sense of enigma that is at the heart of so many of Alfie Allen’s performances, which, in recent years, have encompassed a Tony-nominated turn on Broadway, primetime BBC dramas and acclaimed film roles. There’s a sense of self-containment but also of still waters running deep. It’s no surprise that the play’s producers have cast Allen as Frankie, considered the best poker player among the friends who play a weekly game together in what was Marber’s debut.
Having caught the laddish zeitgeist in its year of release, Dealer’s Choice has proved endlessly revivable; it’s knotty and complex enough to plausibly return and make sense in any number of different eras and contexts. It centres around a group of men – all working in the same restaurant, all struggling with thwarted dreams and all hoping, slightly desperately for something better. They’re united by their poker games; a realm in which they can take responsibility and simultaneously surrender it.
In common with many of the cast members, Allen had never played poker before rehearsals for the play began. But their first revelation was the most important. “We learnt that there’s got to be something on the line for it to matter,” he says. “We were all just betting with fake chips, but we realised that it doesn’t really mean anything unless you’re playing with your own money. And as an actor, that’s definitely at the core of what I try and figure out about every part I play: what’s at stake? There are the obvious things that are at stake in terms of money but you try and dig a little deeper.”
In its Donmar incarnation, the play sits comfortably within the current discourse around masculinity. Allen’s Frankie is a cocky but slightly brittle young alpha-male. He’s not only the best poker player in the group but a prolific ladies’ man to boot. Is there, though, slightly less to him than meets the eye? As the group bickers over the cards, all of them end up unconsciously revealing slightly more about themselves than they’d like.
This is probably not a trait that can ever be applied to Alfie Allen in person. There’s never any danger of him overplaying his hand. When we meet in the Donmar’s Covent Garden offices, he’s unfailingly affable despite a long day of rehearsals – a process he seems to be enjoying every bit as much as the actual prospect of performance. He’s sympathetic and amused rather than irritable when my recording device malfunctions and generous with his time. And yet there’s a slight sense of guardedness about him.
And really, that’s not too surprising. As the son of famously garrulous and unguarded actor, presenter, comic and general overlord of Eighties and Nineties excess, Keith Allen, Alfie learnt about the pleasures and perils of the limelight at a young age. The success – and tabloid-related travails – of his singer-sister Lily presumably drove the point home. Questions about his family elicit lengthy pauses and not much more. You suspect he’s not so much unwilling to talk about them as slightly sick of the questions. “My family is my family, you know?” he says.
What, you suspect, does animate him is his work, which is increasingly both varied and impressive. Dealer’s Choice captures the robust, often combative nuances of male friendship brilliantly. “That’s sometimes how a strong friendship is built,” as Allen puts it. “You can go to the extremes and then kind of go back to ‘actually, we’re alright aren’t we?’ He’s also modest enough to give Marber most of the credit for this. “Patrick’s writing really does the work for you in that respect,” he says. “There are no big, performative monologues in this. It’s always about what the other person is doing. That’s how it becomes a proper dance.”
But it takes two to tango. And more and more, it seems Allen is building a portfolio of vulnerable men in extremis. Alongside Frankie, there’s his wracked, tormented Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones (“an amazing, crazy 10 years of my life… that took me to places I didn’t think I could go”). The torture of Theon in the show pivoted around castration, emasculation and humiliation. Last year, Allen played the title role in McVeigh, a timely exploration of America’s deadliest domestic terrorist, Timothy McVeigh, who perpetrated the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, killing 167 people, including 19 children. And in 2022, there was Steven Knight’s SAS: Rogue Heroes in which he played another real-life character, Jock Lewes, the founding principal training officer of the regiment and a man who combined extreme personal discipline with a maverick streak of wildness.
In realising his screen version of Lewes, Allen did something very characteristic. He offered up a performance that was expressive while being entirely without ego. “I didn’t want to veer too far from the version of him I’d read about – I just looked at the love letters that he wrote to his wife-to-be,” he says. “There’s a whole book of them and that was my source material. I didn’t really want to jazz it up or put my spin on it – I wanted to stay true to what the real life version was”.
It’s tempting here to make a comparison to Alfie’s father Keith, who, for all of his charisma (in fact, probably, because of it), seems to essentially play Keith Allen in every role. Alfie Allen was famously raised in the public eye – Lily has spoken of evenings where the siblings were left upstairs at the Groucho Club while their dad enjoyed himself in the bar downstairs – and has explored the party animal lifestyle himself. But there’s something else in a character like Jock Lewes; a sense of ingrained self-denial that feels like a revealingly antithetical response to this. “Jock was an aloof disciplinarian,” Allen says. “He was raised in a Protestant household, so maybe [the SAS] was his outlet. It gave him a way of channelling his need for structure.” Could something similar be said of Allen himself – and in particular, his ability to disappear into character?
Like the culture itself, it feels like Allen has come a long way. He and Theo Barklem-Biggs (fellow SAS Rogue Hero and one of his co-stars in Dealer’s Choice) set up a therapeutic forum for the cast and crew while on set in Morocco. “There was a bunch of people who didn’t know each other, all plonked in the middle of the desert,” Allen explains. “Which is a bit like what it would be like in the army I guess! It was really good to have that kind of outlet, where everyone felt they could sit around and speak to each other.” For the duration of the run at the Donmar, he and Barklem-Biggs are sharing a flat in central London – there’s a sense of intimacy and honesty, both in and out of character.
So when Allen talks about what’s at stake in the context of Dealer’s Choice, it’s clear that he’s talking about more than money. Dealer’s Choice, like most of the actor’s recent parts, is about how men talk to each other – and in some cases, what happens when they don’t.
But have things moved on since the play was first staged? “I guess they have in terms of talking about love and intimacy and mental health,” he says. “Obviously, I was only eight or nine in 1995 so it wasn’t all that evident to me then but in terms of things being better now, maybe then there was just a kind of unspoken understanding… that sometimes men would just bury things and move on. Whereas now, I think we feel more free to build on that and talk.” In terms of playing the man and not the cards, it feels like Dealer’s Choice – and Alfie Allen himself – has found itself in tune with another cultural moment. He might not be a born gambler. But he certainly isn’t playing it safe either. He’d almost certainly be an excellent poker player, I suggest. “I’d like to think I could be a good bluffer,” he replies. “But it’s all about knowing when to bet.”
‘Dealer’s Choice’ is at the Donmar Warehouse until 7 June | 2025-04-18T05:00:00Z | true |

Poco a poco los socialistas de Castilla y León van encajando las piezas tras el Congreso Autonómico que aupó a la secretaría general a Carlos Martínez en sustitución de Luis Tudanca, que desde ayer es senador autonómico por Castilla y León. El ... político burgalés, que tomó posesión del escaño en la Cámara Alta que dejó vacante el salmantino Fran Díaz, se despidió el pasado 30 de abril del Parlamento regional en el que durante diez años ha sido portavoz de su grupo parlamentario. «Es un orgullo venir al Senado a traer la voz de Castilla y León, que está muy necesitada de que se oiga fuera», dijo en declaraciones a Ical tras prometer, ante el presidente Pedro Rollán, acatar la Constitución.
Un acto que fue seguido por el vicesecretario del PSCL, Daniel de la Rosa, y por Carlos Martínez, quien destacó que «somos jugadores en distintas posiciones y, al final, el equipo es lo fundamental». «Muchas de las decisiones que se toman aquí, en Madrid, son trascendentales luego para las nueve provincias de la Comunidad», advirtió. Del nuevo senador autonómico, el secretario general del PSCL alabó que es «un gran conocedor de Castilla y León, de todos sus problemas» y, por eso, «tiene que estar aquí». «Es un orgullo que Tudanca vaya a representar a la Comunidad en el Senado», añadió Martínez.
Las Cortes de Castilla y León acordaron en el pleno del pasado miércoles la designación del exportavoz con 32 votos a favor, cuatro más de los que tiene el Grupo Socialista Otro burgalés, Miguel Ángel Adrián, tomó también ayer posesión de su escaño en sustitución de Ander Gil, quien renunció a su condición de senador y abandonó la política para dedicarse a la empresa privada.
No le están saliendo bien al PSOE de Castilla y León la reorganización del grupo parlamentario en las Cortes autonómicas. Si ya el equipo de Carlos Martínez se vio obligado a desistir de sustituir a los dos miembros de la Mesa, Ana Sánchez y Diego Moreno -reconocidos sanchistas- ante la amenaza real del PP de hacerse con los dos puestos, esta semana se han quedado sin presencia en las mesas de dos comisiones, la de Economía y la de Medio Ambiente. Todo por intentar sustituir en ellas a quienes han pasado a formar parte de la dirección del grupo, ya que tienen dedicación exclusiva. Se trata de Pedro González Reglero, secretario del Grupo, y Virginia Jiménez, viceportavoz. que dejan así su puesto en la secretaría de las dos comisiones.
Los 31 procuradores del PP forzaron el voto nulo al incluir un «no» en la papeleta
Sin embargo, los populares presentaron candidatos a ocupar las dos plazas así que los socialistas, que no contaron con más apoyos, las perdieron. La viceportavoz del grupo, Nuria Rubio, criticó la «falta de cortesía parlamentaria» de los populares «al no respetar» la representación en la Cámara. Añadió, no obstante que, «nosotros estamos ocupados en los importante» porque, según argumentó, «las personas de la Comunidad no están preocupadas por los cambios internos que haga su partido. | 2025-05-07T06:11:45Z | false |

] | President Donald Trump signed multiple Executive Orders relating to education Wednesday afternoon, with several tied to the theme of returning meritocracy back to the education system.
The orders, seven in total, included actions to integrate artificial intelligence into K-12 school curricula, reforms to school discipline and accreditation guidelines, requirements related to the disclosure of foreign funding to schools and enhancements to the country's workforce development programs.
Trump's slew of education-focused orders also included another directive demanding an end to DEI ideology in schools, specifically the use of "disparate impact theory," on top of his previous executive order from January ordering an end to DEI-like programming and ideology in K-12 schools. An Executive Order setting up a White House initiative supporting the efficiency and effectiveness of Historically Black Colleges and Universities was also signed by the president on Wednesday.
"They're allowing people into school – they can't do math – and yet kids who have worked really hard and are number one in their class out of high school – some place in New Jersey or Mississippi – they can't get into the best schools," Trump said as he signed his order implementing new school accreditation requirements. "What is that all about?"
"I think that gets to your policy, sir, of meritocracy – that we should be looking at those who have real merit to get in," Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon, who was standing over Trump's shoulder as he signed, chimed in. "And we have to look harder at those universities that aren't enforcing that."
The accreditation reforms, along with the president's Executive Orders on school discipline and "disparate impact theory," were all connected to pulling back from the Biden administration's era of prioritizing DEI over meritocracy. Specifically, the accreditation reforms seek to prevent accreditors from imposing "discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-based standards," while compelling them to "prioritize student outcomes."
Meanwhile, under the Biden administration, the Department of Education released student discipline guidance contending that persistent racism clouds school disciplinary systems. Trump's Wednesday Executive Order rescinds that guidance.
"Under, I believe it was the Biden administration – first Obama and then Biden – the Department of Justice issued guidance that made it almost impossible for schools to enforce adequate disciplinary policies," Trump's executive assistant Will Scharf said of the order as Trump was signing it. "Basically they focused on CRT and diversity ideology, instead of actually just enforcing the rules in classrooms to ensure a safe learning environment."
The prohibition of "disparate impact theory" builds on the president's past orders on ridding "discriminatory" DEI programs and influences from educational settings.
"This is a theory that underlies a lot of the modern DEI and CRT-driven diversity culture," Scharf explained. "The basic idea is instructing your department and agencies to no longer rely on disparate impact theory as they're regulating, as they're issuing guidance, as they're making rules. We want to focus on results, we want to focus on actual fairness, we want to focus on merit, not things like disparate impact theory and the whole sort-of diversity, equity and inclusion cult."
Besides focusing on returning meritocracy to the education system, the president's Executive Orders also sought to modernize American education and workforce preparation through the implementation of AI education in schools and through a commitment to add 1 million new apprenticeships.
The AI order, Trump's latest pro-AI measure, established a White House task force for AI and education that will work with federal agencies and the private sector to help draft AI programs for schools.
The president previously signed an Executive Order in January, which worked to rescind Biden-era policies that critics say restricted the nation's AI growth. | 2025-04-23T23:48:36Z | false |

The photographer who took on America’s gun nuts: ‘I’d get death threats in the night’ | The Telegraph | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/photography/what-to-see/zed-nelson-sony-world-photography-awards/ | [

] | “I was lucky,” says the photographer Zed Nelson, “until I went to Afghanistan.” The 57-year-old, who has just won the Sony World Photographer of the Year award for The Anthropocene Illusion, his masterful 2024 series about our relationship to the natural world, is making us tea in his north London kitchen and talking about his early years as a documentary photographer.
“I was very drawn towards… I don’t want to say ‘extreme situations’, but they were highly political – life or death. Often there was a kind of geopolitical storyline behind it, like the Cold War and how countries are used as proxies.”
Nelson began his career as a freelance photographer in 1990, working for the Independent, the Observer, Arena and The Face (as well as, later, The Telegraph Magazine). His work often took him into situations fraught with danger, where “there’s no police, no regular army, just warring factions… When you’re younger, you have more idealism, you have more naïveté. You also have more ego, and a sense that nothing bad can happen to you.”
He shot stories in Cambodia, Nagorno-Karabakh, South Africa and other flash-points and war zones. He recalls how his front-page images of famine in Somalia in 1992 for the Independent brought television reporters to the region; how The Face featured his photograph of a boy soldier in Angola wearing a colourful football shirt and holding a wad of cash. On the other hand, Nelson contracted dengue fever in French Guiana, and malaria in Angola, where he broke two teeth when he passed out from the effects of the disease.
Things came to a head in Kabul in 1994. “It was after the Soviets had been forced out [in 1989], and it was just Mujahideen warlords fighting. I went to Afghanistan to do a story about this forgotten war that just wouldn’t end. It was also about Médecins Sans Frontières, who were the last aid agency there. All the others had left.
“And then I was in a car that got ambushed. We turned a corner, and the car was machine-gunned to pieces by two groups. I had an interpreter who got shot through the neck. The bullet sort of lodged in his face, but he survived. And the journalist I was with put his hands up over his head and had his arms kind of shot out. The bones were fragmented. He had to have skin grafts and nerve grafts, have his arms rebuilt. I didn’t get hit, but at that moment, when people are screaming, and there’s blood everywhere, and bullets are literally puncturing the car, my feeling was, ‘I want to go home now’. It’s not like a Hollywood movie. It was just like, ‘Please can it stop? Can I go?’”
The injured journalist was the future founder of Wallpaper magazine, Tyler Brûlé, who would come up with the idea for the publication while recovering in a hospital bed. Nelson would change direction, too, taking on a project in the US, from where, he notes, many of the weapons came. “I’d seen that the guns were [mostly] Russian Kalashnikovs or American M-16s – that was true in El Salvador, in Angola, Afghanistan. Again, it was the proxy thing. Both Russia and America wanted to control these countries. And I thought: I’m not going to photograph Africa in grainy black-and-white any more. I’ll photograph America, and their massive gun industry and the results of having guns in that society – 30,000 people shot and killed every year.” (Things have only got worse: in 2023, the figure was nearly 47,000.)
The series of photographs he shot became the 1999 book Gun Nation, which was featured in 24 magazines worldwide. Among its most startling images were a portrait of a couple honeymooning at a desert shooting range, and a father holding his baby with one hand and a semi-automatic pistol in the other. There were also photographs from the aftermath of the 1999 Columbine High School shooting in Colorado, where 12 children and a teacher were killed by two students in a pre-planned massacre.
“People were reeling,” Nelson recalls, “and everyone was like, ‘pray for healing’. ‘We thought we were in the safest place in America’ was always the mantra. But down the road was the gun shop, and you’re like, ‘You don’t need to pray for healing. You just need to sort that out’.”
The book brought hostility to Nelson’s door. After appearing on US radio stations publicising his work, he began receiving death threats at home in London. “It’d be the middle of the night, I’d pick up the phone, and it’d be like, ‘You f---ing a--hole, I’m gonna hunt you down.’ It was not funny. It probably was just some t--- being an idiot, but it was enough to make me ring the police.”
Since then, Nelson has worked on a string of thought-provoking long-term projects, from his 2009 book and film Love Me, about the pervasiveness of Western beauty ideals, to his 2019 film The Street – four years in the making – about the effects of gentrification on a single street in east London. Finally, The Anthropocene Illusion will bring him the stardom he deserves, though he plays it down: “When you work on these projects for a long time, you question if it’s going to work. It’s very time-consuming and expensive. So it’s massively gratifying to get the award, because it makes it feel worthwhile.”
In this series, which he began six years ago, he turns his gift for storytelling to the way our craving for connection with nature – even as we cause its vanishing – leads to us recreating it in illusory form in zoos, theme parks and museums, as well as garden cities, national parks and wildlife reserves. Each image contains a narrative that sets the mind whirring. In Singapore, for instance, luxuriant greenery transforms the façade of a hotel, yet as Nelson points out, “irrigating the plants breeds mosquitoes. So they have to kill all the insects. And when you do that, you kill the birds as well. So in order to have a beautiful, natural-looking city, they have to make it entirely unnatural.”
One photograph of a chimpanzee sitting on a man-made rock in Shanghai Wild Animal Park, China, encapsulates the way that the fake and the real intertwine. The walls are painted with exotic scenes of a lake surrounded by plant life, which, Nelson notes, are purely for the zoo’s visitors; they don’t conjure a natural environment for the animal. “Then there’s the hatch, the door,” he adds. “Which begs the thought: where does it go? “And of course, it’s not onto the plains of Africa. It opens into a barred cage where the chimpanzee sleeps.”
Nelson saw the possibility of this melancholy image when he first arrived at the park, but it took the chimpanzee “a day and a half” to return to its pose. The waiting forced a new perspective on him. “Zoos are designed for a kind of conveyor belt of humanity. But when you disrupt that, you see the cruelty, the boredom, the confusion of the animal, and the frustration of a creature in confinement. After two days, you also start sharing some of its feelings.”
Other striking images stir the imagination. In Kenya, an Out of Africa champagne-picnic experience laid out in the Maasai Mara reserve conjures a romantic vision of colonial times for high-value tourists – “and a Maasai warrior is also paid to be in the scene, to give it this added twist of ‘authenticity’. Make of it what you will, but it’s all just one big fantasy.”
Nelson was born in Africa himself, in Uganda, in 1967. His first name is actually Zik, after the popular 1960s Nigerian president Nnamdi Azikiwe. He adopted “Zed” after a picture editor mistook his suggestion that he credit him simply as “Z Nelson”. His parents were journalists, who had left the UK in their early 20s for the east African state. “My dad ended up editing a newspaper there, then that became a problem, because any kind of free press under Idi Amin was a problem.” (The Ugandan army general seized power in a 1971 coup and would preside over a murderous dictatorship for the next eight years.)
At one point, Nelson’s father was dragged away in the night. “I’ve asked my mother about it. There were soldiers on the roof and coming through the front door, and my mum was screaming, ‘Don’t take my babies’. It was terrifying for her. God knows what my dad thought. He plays everything down.”
Nelson’s father was released. But the family decided to leave Uganda and return to the UK with four-year-old Zik and his elder sister. It wasn’t the end of their wanderings. “When I was eight, they decided to drive overland to India in a converted ambulance… We literally set off from our house, and it took a year to get there and back.” He would also spend a couple of years at an international school in Hong Kong, before being sent to “the worst comprehensive in London. It wasn’t like Ofsted ‘must do better’, it was people being stabbed and parents not being told. There were hardly any exams done by anyone. My horizon line was massively lowered by the experience, but luckily, I still had an early background of a much bigger picture of the world.”
After “a couple of lost years”, Nelson went back to college to get the qualifications needed to pursue higher education, where he studied film-making and photography. He soon realised that he could push forward more quickly with the latter. He still shoots on film. “Digital cameras are great… but everything’s so easy and quick that you don’t look at things properly, or sit with things long enough.” He will admit, though, that one shot he took with his iPhone in Oslo’s Natural History Museum as a reference for The Anthropocene Illusion was so amazing that it forced him to extend his trip so that he could try to reproduce it on his medium-format camera.
Nelson finds it “very worrying” that AI could accelerate the vogue for retouched and modified images – not to mention wholly AI-generated photos. He thinks it may reach the point at which “the sense of wonder and appreciation people have for photographs is eroded because no one really believes in anything.
“If you’re a photographer who takes pictures for product shots or advertising or even fashion, you know AI is coming for you,” he says. His hope is that the “real” becomes something we learn to hold on to tightly. “There’s something about photography,” he muses. “It’s the joy of seeing something and thinking, ‘Wow, that existed, that happened’. And if you take those feelings away, you’re left with this Orwellian society where we trust and believe in nothing.”
The Sony World Photography Awards Exhibition 2025 is at Somerset House, London WC2 (somersethouse.org.uk), until May 5. The Anthropocene Illusion by Zed Nelson (Guest Editions, £40) will be published next month | 2025-04-19T07:00:00Z | true |

Drunk teacher crashes into colleague before driving wrecked car to school | The Independent | https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/school-car-crash-lincoln-priory-drunk-teacher-b2746501.html | [

] | A maths teacher who was three times over the legal drink-drive limit arrived at school in a wrecked car after crashing in a colleague on her way to work, the teaching regulator has heard.
The car teacher Siobhan Clarke was driving had a cracked windscreen and deflated airbags. At the scene of the accident, she pulled out her bank card thinking it was her phone and then drove her “crumpled” car onto the school’s site.
The Teaching Regulation Agency panel also heard that Ms Clarke was found in a classroom smelling of alcohol and “very muddled.”
She was arrested at the school after police found her to be over the legal drink-drive limit, the hearing was told.
Mrs Clarke was employed as a maths teacher at The Priory Academy in Lincoln from September 2014, having previously worked there as a learning assistant, the panel heard.
The teacher admitted that on her way to work at the school in January 2023, she was involved in a crash, left the scene of the accident and drove her damaged car onto the school’s site.
The “disorientated” Mrs Clarke then walked from her parked car “with the intention of taking her normal class” and went to her classroom to teach, the panel was told.
The colleague she crashed into said they had been stopped at traffic lights at a pedestrian crossing.
As the lights turned green, a car “hit the rear of their vehicle”, the hearing was told.
“They recognised the driver as a teacher at the School at which they also worked,” the panel heard.
The colleague did not think Mrs Clarke would be able to drive her car away because it was “very crumpled and … the air bags had gone off,” the hearing was told.
The maths teacher “rummaged in her handbag for her phone but instead pulled out her bank card”, the panel heard.
Mrs Clarke “appeared very confused, she kept repeating herself and wasn’t finishing her sentences. I would describe her as incoherent,” the colleague told the panel, adding: “As she was talking she was slurring her words.”
After the incident was reported, the school’s headteacher went to look for Mrs Clarke and found her in the maths department, the panel was told.
The headteacher decided to call the police because they could smell alcohol and said she “seemed very muddled”, the panel heard.
The teacher was breathalysed, and found to be around three times over the legal limit, the hearing was told.
She was arrested and taken to the police station where she failed to provide a breath sample.
Mrs Clarke was later convicted following a guilty plea, and disqualified from driving for12 months, the hearing was told.
When school staff went to look at her car they saw “both airbags, deflated, the windscreen was cracked and there was damage to the front”, the panel heard.
She resigned from the school the same month, telling the panel she was “immensely sorry” for her actions.
David Oatley, on behalf of the Secretary of State, agreed with the panel’s recommendation that it had been “a one-off incident”, and drew short of banning Mrs Clarke from teaching. | 2025-05-07T14:34:19Z | true |

] | Nach dem tragischen Tod des sechsjährigen Pawlos, der am Ostersonntag tot aus der Lahn geborgen wurde, haben am Mittwochabend zahlreiche Menschen in Weilburg gemeinsam getrauert. In der vollbesetzten Schlosskirche fand ein ökumenischer Gedenkgottesdienst statt – mit dabei waren neben der Familie auch viele Helferinnen und Helfer, die wochenlang nach dem Jungen gesucht hatten. Sein Schicksal hatte weit über die Stadtgrenzen hinaus viele bewegt.
Tränen und persönliche Worte
Während des Gottesdienstes war die Trauer greifbar. Menschen wischten sich Tränen aus dem Gesicht. Nah beim Altar erinnerte ein Bild an den Jungen, der in der Predigt noch einmal als so lebendig beschrieben wurde. Ein Blumenkranz in Gelb und Orange stand daneben. Pawlos, der gerne Farben mochte, hätte er vermutlich gefallen.
In persönlichen Worten wurde beschrieben, wie Pawlos war: Ein fröhliches Kind sei der Sechsjährige gewesen, das ganz schön schnell sein konnte und viel Energie hatte. Er sprang gerne Trampolin, mochte Klettern - aber eben auch das Wasser, in dem er viel zu früh den Tod fand. Was ihn interessierte, darin sei Pawlos gut gewesen, sagte die evangelische Pfarrerin. Auch das Alphabet habe der Erstklässler schon problemlos schreiben können. Doch dann sei sein Lebensfaden gerissen. "Pawlos fehlt."
Besonders bewegend war der Dank einer Angehörigen für die große Anteilnahme: Diese Unterstützung, sagte sie, habe der Familie in den dunkelsten Stunden geholfen.
Bischof Bätzing: "Gott behüte den Kleinen"
Auch der Limburger Bischof Georg Bätzing, der ebenfalls in der Schlosskirche war, gedachte des Jungen. Er sprach den Angehörigen sein Mitgefühl aus und lobte das Engagement der vielen Helfer. Nach dem Verschwinden des Jungen habe es keinen Morgen gegeben, an dem er nicht an ihn gedacht und gehofft habe, dass er gefunden werde, sagte Bätzing. "Gott behüte den Kleinen, das ist mein Wunsch."
Schon wenige Tage vor dem Gedenkgottesdienst war Pawlos im kleinen Kreis in seinem Heimatort Waldbrunn (Limburg-Weilburg) beerdigt worden.
Innenminister lobt Zusammenhalt
Hessens Innenminister Roman Poseck (CDU) sprach in seiner Ansprache von tiefer Trauer: "Pawlos ist tot – diese Nachricht hat uns alle an Ostern erreicht, und sie hat uns unendlich traurig gemacht." Pawlos sei ein "sechsjähriger, wunderbarer Junge" gewesen, "ein einzigartiger Mensch, der das Leben doch noch vor sich hatte", sagte Poseck.
Beeindruckt habe ihn besonders, "dass so viele Menschen aus Weilburg und der Region geholfen haben – viele ehrenamtlich", sagte Poseck dem hr. "Hier hat sich der Zusammenhalt in unserer Gesellschaft gezeigt."
Wochenlange Suche ohne Erfolg
Pawlos war am 25. März gegen Mittag aus seiner Schule verschwunden. Die Polizei hatte zeitweise mit bis zu 600 Einsatzkräften nach ihm gesucht – unterstützt von Feuerwehr, Technischem Hilfswerk und vielen Freiwilligen aus Weilburg. Der Junge hatte laut Polizei eine autistische Veranlagung.
Sogar mit Hilfe eines Eurofighters der Bundeswehr sowie auf Bahnhöfen in ganz Deutschland hatte die Polizei nach dem Kind gesucht. Doch die Suche blieb wochenlang ohne Ergebnis, bis schließlich an Ostersonntag die traurige Gewissheit kam: Pawlos wurde tot in der Lahn gefunden. | 2025-05-01T05:42:00Z | true |

"Es wäre fahrlässig, wenn wir jetzt schon die Tür zumachen würden", sagte Wück am Rande des DFB-Pokalfinales in Köln der ARD. Nach ihrem im Juli 2024 erlittenen Kreuzbandriss nimmt die 23 Jahre alte Oberdorf zwar wieder am Teamtraining der Münchnerinnen teil, bestritt aber noch kein Spiel für den Club.
Wück: "Haben noch acht Wochen"
Zuletzt hatte sich Bayern-Direktorin Bianca Rech mit Blick auf eine EM-Teilnahme Oberdorfs pessimistisch gezeigt. Wück setzt noch auf Fortschritte bei der Mittelfeldspielerin. "Wir haben jetzt noch acht Wochen und ich weiß selbst, wie es ist: Acht Wochen in einer Rehaphase können unheimlich viel ausmachen. Sie ist im Training, das haben die Bayern auch gesagt. Lassen wir ihr die Zeit, sich bis dahin zu entwickeln", erklärte der 51 Jahre alte Ex-Profi.
Deutscher EM-Start Anfang Juli
Wück betonte aber auch: "Die Entscheidung werde nicht ich treffen, die Entscheidung werden nicht die Bayern treffen, sondern die wird sie alleine treffen. Sie kennt ihren Körper, sie kann entscheiden, ob es funktionieren wird oder nicht."
Das deutsche Team startet am 4. Juli in St. Gallen gegen Polen in die EM-Vorrunde, weiter geht es am 8. Juli in Basel gegen Dänemark. Das dritte Gruppenspiel der DFB-Elf findet am 12. Juli in Zürich gegen Schweden statt. | 2025-05-01T16:38:54.573281Z | true |

Im Vatikan laufen die Vorbereitungen für die Wahl des Nachfolgers von Papst Franziskus, der am Ostermontag im Alter von 88 Jahren verstorben ist. Bevor ein Konklave zusammentritt und das neue Oberhaupt der katholischen Kirche bestimmt, wird er am Samstag beigesetzt. Vorher blickt im Podcast der SZ-Korrespondent in Rom, Marc Beise, auf seine Amtszeit zurück und auf das, was von ihm bleiben wird. Er sagt, Franziskus habe die katholische Kirche geöffnet und modernisiert. Aber vor allem bei Frauen in Führungspositionen, habe er seine Reformen nicht zu Ende gebracht.
