La Mesa del Congreso de los Diputados, con la mayoría que tienen PSOE y Sumar en el órgano, ha rechazado este martes la petición del Senado de revocar su acuerdo del 18 de marzo por el que, en un movimiento sin precedentes, se decidió excluir ... de un proyecto de ley, el de desperdicio alimentario, cuatro de las enmiendas que habían sido incorporadas a su texto previamente en la Cámara Alta tras haber registrado el Gobierno un escrito de disconformidad contra esa decisión. Entre otros argumentos, según el escrito al que ha tenido acceso ABC, se apunta que la norma ya está publicada en el Boletín Oficial del Estado (BOE) y que, por tanto, jurídicamente la rectificación solicitada no tendría ningún efecto.
El asunto provocó polémica porque nunca antes la Mesa del Congreso, órgano rector de la actividad parlamentaria, había mutilado un texto procedente del Senado impidiendo, de esa manera, que los diputados de la Cámara Baja se pronunciasen sobre las enmiendas aprobadas por los senadores como marca la Constitución. «El proyecto de ley en cuestión ha culminado ya su tramitación y fue objeto de publicación en el Boletín Oficial del Estado el pasado 2 de abril», razona ahora la Mesa del Congreso en su respuesta, en la que deja claro que, por ese motivo, «no se encuentra en condiciones de dar satisfacción a la pretensión del Senado».
Cabe recordar que, a la espera de que se resolviesen sus recursos de reconsideración contra la decisión de la Mesa de la Cámara Baja, el PP, ERC y Junts solicitaron formalmente, invocando el artículo 68.1 del Reglamento del Congreso, una modificación en el orden del día del Pleno de aquella semana para aplazar la ley. Algo que debería haber discutido ese mismo órgano. El socialista Alfonso Rodríguez Gómez de Celis, que ejercía la Presidencia en esa sesión, decidió obviarlo en una interpretación muy discutida de la normativa interna parlamentaria y provocó que la ley de desperdicio alimentario, sin permitir que se votase un cambio en el orden del día que habría postergado su debate, se aprobase el jueves 20 de marzo.
Los diputados no pudieron pronunciarse sobre las enmiendas aprobadas en el Senado para la cogeneración de purines y la reducción del impuesto sobre el valor añadido (IVA) de los alimentos básicos. El Gobierno había interpuesto un veto a las mismas ante la Cámara Alta alegando una merma en la recaudación, algo a lo que le faculta el artículo 134.6 de la Constitución, pero su Mesa decidió no aceptarlo al considerarlo excesivo. Cuando regresó la norma al Congreso, aunque el precepto 90.2 de la Carta Magna establece que los diputados deben pronunciarse sobre los cambios introducidos por el Senado, el Ejecutivo registró un escrito de disconformidad contra esos y la Mesa de la Cámara Baja, en contra del criterio de su letrado mayor, Fernando Galindo, los extrajo del texto.
Solo la actuación de Gómez de Celis aquel día provoca que la ley esté ya publicada en el BOE —antes de resolverse el entuerto sobre si la Mesa del Congreso podía o no vetar esas enmiendas— y esa circunstancia es el primer argumento que ofrece ahora la mayoría del órgano de gobierno de la Cámara Baja. No es el único. En un escrito de doce páginas, ofrece hasta seis consideraciones para defender su actuación. Ninguna de ellas justifica por qué no se respetó el artículo 90.2 de la Constitución, que recoge que los diputados han de pronunciarse sobre los cambios introducidos por el Senado. Según publicó este diario, todas las fuentes jurídicas consultadas, más allá de la controversia y los matices, coinciden en que debió ser el Pleno quien se pronunciase sobre las enmiendas y que la Mesa no debería habérselo impedido en ningún caso.
En el texto que el Congreso remite ahora al Senado, en un choque institucional que va camino del Tribunal Constitucional, la Mesa de la Cámara Baja alega que la decisión de la Cámara Alta de ignorar la propuesta de veto del Gobierno, que entiende que estaba suficientemente argumentada según la doctrina constitucional, «le habría privado de ejercer su derecho constitucional (...) teniendo en cuenta que el artículo 134.6 de la Constitución no establece límite temporal alguno y, en consecuencia, que el veto gubernamental es posible mientras la iniciativa se encuentre en tramitación en cualquiera de las cámaras».
Con o sin presupuestos
La Mesa del Congreso responde que el Senado permitió la tramitación de enmiendas que suponen un incremento de gastos y una disminución de ingresos del presupuesto, «resultando irrelevante —añade— que el mismo sea un presupuesto aprobado el pasado año o prorrogado desde ejercicios anteriores». Uno de los argumentos de la Cámara Alta para rechazar el veto del Gobierno era, precisamente, que en toda la legislatura no se han aprobado presupuestos generales del Estado.
«Si se admitiera la conducta desempeñada por la Mesa de la Cámara Alta, se terminaría permitiendo que se vaciara de contenido la facultad del Gobierno de ejercer su veto presupuestario, ya que bastaría con presentar las enmiendas en la Cámara Alta para que el mismo perdiese toda su virtualidad», incide la Cámara Baja, en un argumento que no es del todo así porque, en última instancia, la decisión final de aceptar o no los cambios del Senado recaería en el Pleno del Congreso, que debería volver a pronunciarse.
El Congreso expone también que el Senado, en todo caso, no debería plantear un conflicto de competencias sino un recurso de inconstitucionalidad, que la Mesa del Congreso entendió que las razones esgrimidas por el Gobierno —y detalladas económicamente— eran suficientes para aceptar el veto y que en el trascurso parlamentario de la norma ya se habían asumido en la Cámara Baja vetos previos y similares del Ejecutivo a rebajas de IVA en alimentos. | 2025-05-07T06:21:09Z | false |

Von heldenhaftem Ringen ist die Rede. Davon, dass man einer gewaltigen Übermacht ehrenvoll unterlegen sei. Ein Übertragungswagen steht im Innenhof der Flensburger Postdirektion. Gesendet wird von hier der letzte Bericht des Oberkommandos der Wehrmacht. Es ist der 9. Mai 1945, kurz nach 20 Uhr.
Wir wechseln auf die östliche Fördeseite, in den Stadtteil Mürwik. Die britischen Streitkräfte sind in Flensburg eingerückt und sind dabei, die nördlichste Stadt Deutschlands zu übernehmen.
Zugleich hat sich Großadmiral Karl Dönitz, in Berlin noch von Adolf Hitler selbst zum Nachfolger bestimmt, mit seinem Gefolge nun in der Marine-Sportschule eingerichtet: Im Sonderbezirk Mürwik ist seine geschäftsführende Reichsregierung im Amt, geduldet von den Briten, während in Karlshorst bei Berlin, in Reims in Nordfrankreich, in der Lüneburger Heide die Teilkapitulationen des deutschen Heeres unterzeichnet werden.
Der Tag beginnt mit der Kabinettssitzung. Die neuernannten Minister berichten. Als der letzte Wehrmachtsbericht versendet ist und Musik in die neue Zeit führen soll, hat der gerade zuständige britische Offizier nur eine Maßgabe: nichts von Wagner!
Gerhard Paul, Jahrgang 1951, schöpft in seinem Buch über das absurde Ende des Dritten Reichs mit vollen Händen aus dem Fundus: Lange als Professor für Geschichte und ihre Didaktik an der Flensburger Universität tätig und Begründer der Bildgeschichtsschreibung, ist er ein mehr als guter Kenner der Dokumente und Akten jener Jahre und Tage.
Außerdem ist er über die Zeit auch ein Flensburger Bürger geworden. Dabei hat er offensichtlich ein feines Gespür für die untergründigen Strömungen entwickelt, die aus dem Dritten Reich in die Nachkriegsrepublik sickerten. Und er hat Zeitzeugen kennengelernt: ehemalige U-Bootfahrer, Radioleute, Flensburger, die damals dabei gewesen sind.
Auch geografisch weitet Paul immer wieder den Blick. Er bezieht das Geschehen in der Geltinger Bucht mit ein, wo die Kriegsmarine sich dann, anders als befohlen, nicht selbst versenkt. Und er schildert, wie in Lüneburg Heinrich Himmler als Heinrich Hirzinger verhaftet wird, woraufhin der sich mit Zyankali umbringt.
Sein Leichnam ist für Film und Foto aus allen möglichen Blickwinkeln dokumentiert worden. Nebenbei macht Paul mit seinem Buch begreiflich, dass geschichtliche Ereignisse oft erst im Lichte ihrer medialen Inszenierung zu entschlüsseln sind.
So absurd das Geschehen auf wenigen Flensburger Quadratkilometern zunächst wirken mag, ob es sich um ein Drama handelt oder eine schlechte Operette, ist eine seiner Fragen.
Weitere NS-Morde trotz Waffenstillstand
Geht man mit Paul ins Detail, erfährt man, dass Dönitz und die Seinen die ihnen verbliebenen reichsdeutschen Tage durchaus zu nutzen wissen: Sie arbeiten unter Hochdruck am Mythos einer zwar militärisch geschlagenen, aber moralisch ehrenhaften Armee, die sich nichts hat zu Schulden kommen lassen; und besonders fleckenlos schneidet dabei die Marine ab.
So wird von Kapitel zu Kapitel mehr als deutlich: Das militärische Ende des NS-Staats, das ‚Schweigen der Waffen‘ wie es mit einem gewissen, bis heute gültigen Pathos benannt wird, als sei damit alles gut, bedeutet eben noch lange nicht das Ende der Nazi-Diktatur. Mit brachialen Folgen: Während die britischen Streitkräfte den Zustrom der über Dänemark zurückkehrenden Wehrmachtssoldaten zu regulieren versuchen, arbeiten im Sonderbereich die Marinegerichte unbarmherzig weiter. Sie spüren angebliche Deserteure auf und lassen sie ermorden. Zugleich ist Mürwik eine Art Abklingbecken für manche aus der Nazi-Elite, die hier Station machen, um nun unterzutauchen.
Gerhard Paul: „Mai 1945: Das absurde Ende des ‚Dritten Reiches‘“. Herder Verlag, Freiburg 2025, 336 S., 28 Euro; E-Book 21,99 Euro.
Am 23. Mai – dass auf den Tag genau vier Jahre später das Grundgesetz der Bundesrepublik Deutschland verabschiedet wird, wirkt wie eine seltsame Laune der Geschichte – hat die britische Militärverwaltung genug von Dönitz’ Treiben. Weil der eingeladene internationale Presseandrang groß ist, es schließlich an möglichen ikonischen Bildern der deutschen Niederlage mit ein bisschen Action fehlt, wird dieses medial entsprechend groß inszeniert: Mehrmals muss Dönitz mit seinem engeren Gefolge antreten, um sich verhaften und durchsuchen zu lassen.
Er selbst hat sich vor Ort eigens für diesen Anlass eine neue Uniform schneidern lassen. Vor der Mürwiker Sportschule drehen derweil die jungen Marinerekruten mit den zurückgelassenen Pkw mit Vollgas ihre Runden. Was sollen sie jetzt bloß tun? Wer sagt ihnen, wo es langgeht?
Gerhard Paul ist ein kundiger Didaktiker, der beeindruckend gut zu erzählen weiß. Und was ist da nicht alles in kurzer Zeit auf kleinstem Raum passiert! Wer war da nicht alles vor Ort! Wir erfahren, welche Rolle der spätere Suhrkamp-Hero Siegfried Unseld in jenen Tagen spielte. Und wir verfolgen den Lebensweg der begeisterten jungen Fliegerin Beate Uhse in diesem wichtigen, hintergründigen, aber auch gewitzten Buch. | 2025-04-27T13:00:00Z | true |

El arzobispo de Sevilla, monseñor José Ángel Saiz Meneses, ha comentado en una entrevista en 'El Llamador' de Canal Sur Radio que «se podrían hacer rotaciones» con respecto a los grandes cortejos de nazarenos que existen en la actualidad en la Semana Santa de Sevilla . Sin embargo, ha apuntado que «todavía no tengo la composición del lugar hecha», debido a que va a ser su primera Semana Santa en Sevilla, tras haber tomado posesión el mes de junio del año 2021. Asimismo, ha abogado por «el término medio, que es donde está la virtud» . Además, ha señalado que «no se puede pecar por exceso ni por defecto y hay que encontrar el punto que ayude a vivir» la estación de penitencia de los nazarenos.
También, ha destacado que «el Consejo de Cofradías tiene mucha experiencia y saben organizar la Semana Santa» . Preguntado por la circunstancia de que la misma pueda estar masificada tras dos años sin procesiones por la pandemia del coronavirus, el arzobispo ha respondido que «es posible que suceda porque todo el mundo tiene muchos deseos de vivir la Semana Santa, de vivir su fe y devoción en la calle, lo cual es legítimo». Por otro lado, ha reconocido que «le será fácil moverse por el ambiente cuando llegue la Semana Santa». | 2022-02-22T00:46:16Z | true |

] | One benefit of Donald Trump ripping up agreements and driving a dagger into the world’s trading system is that it has highlighted the benefits of free trade. Deals are getting done.
The latest pact secured by the UK is with India, a truly enormous market, and one with huge potential for those able to access it.
Talks had previously been stuck in quicksand, dragging on for three years. The rope that has pulled them out of the swamp? You could easily slap on a “Made in Trump Towers” sticker.
One of the key parts of the deal exempts workers on short-term visas from national insurance. They will only pay that in their home country; the reverse applies to UK workers in India. It is already being called a “two-tier” arrangement that is more punitive for domestic taxpayers. Cue outrage, and claims that British workers are being “sold out” because companies will supposedly be able to hire cheaper Indian staff in preference to the home-grown alternative.
First off, take note of the word “temporary”. This is a short term arrangement that applies for between one and three years. So, it will mostly cover people on secondment, not those coming over to fill posts over the longer term.
Employers will still have to secure a visa, and that isn’t easy. Ask them about dealing with the Home Office and they’ll happily bang on for hours about the problems this causes them. There is still the points-based immigration system to satisfy, covering skills, ability to speak English and, crucially, annual income. The minimum is, in most cases, just under £39,000 per year, but there are also provisions based on the “going rate” for a job. If that is, say, £45,000, then the worker being offered £39,000 won’t qualify. If cheaper UK workers are available, the same rule applies.
A similar NI concession already operates in a slew of existing trade deals the UK has signed with other countries. So this is nothing new and the fuss, designed to plug in to existing anxieties about immigration, is entirely confected.
Even were that not the case, it bears repeating that deals require compromises and give on both sides. You don’t get everything you want. But you could argue that the national insurance concession is not actually a negative anyway. It could serve as a hidden benefit if it helps employers to attract highly skilled workers in sectors where there are very obvious, and costly, shortages the domestic workforce is not able to fill. Tech would be a good example.
The row is so patently fact free and ridiculous that it makes my head ache, particularly when one considers the overall benefits that could accrue from the deal.
India is not an open market by global standards. This lifts barriers and represents a huge win when one considers that sheer size of the Indian market and the opportunities it presents. Just consider the explosive growth of the middle class there, its vast disposable income, and the opportunities improving access to it will offer UK companies.
The government has estimated that bilateral trade will be boosted by £25.5bn with a badly needed net £4.8bn added annually to a UK economy that needs all the help it can get. It covers high end cars, booze, logistics, tech. The reduced tariffs on Indian goods coming into the UK should also lead to cheaper prices for consumers here.
Set against this, the best its opponents can come up with is a fact-lite fuss about national insurance? This is what you get when the national conversation is dominated by noisy talking heads addicted to the social media outrage machine.
Ultimately, free trade has been proven to be of benefit for those who practice it. The impact does need to be managed, and the UK has not always been good at that, which might partly explain why we are where we are.
However, a cursory glance at the damage done by exiting the world’s largest free trade zone – the EU and its single market – shows just how much damage turning one’s back on it can do.
It should be noted that while the agreement with India greatly eclipses the size of previous deals done with, say, Australia or New Zealand, and the numbers are big in terms of the sterling value, it is still projected to boost GDP by just 0.1 per cent. That is a tiny fraction of what the UK has lost through Brexit, which some estimates have put at as much as 4 per cent.
Free trade is ultimately far superior to the protectionist alternative. But it appears that the case for it needs to be made again. The UK government should do that, forcefully. | 2025-05-07T14:34:18Z | false |

] | [] | Womöglich stünden Kriminelle hinter der Entführung einer Schweizerin in Niger, sagt Ulf Laessing, der im Nachbarland Mali lebt. Die mit einem Einheimischen verheiratete Frau lebte seit Jahren in Agadez.
Ulf Laessing leitet das Regionalprogramm Sahel der Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, die der CDU nahesteht. Laessing ist in Bamako, Malis Hauptstadt, stationiert. Er war zuvor Auslandskorrespondent und Büroleiter bei der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters im Nahen Osten, Nordafrika und Afrika südlich der Sahara. Er hat Geschichte, Islamwissenschaften und Volkswirtschaft studiert.
SRF News: Wer steckt hinter solchen Entführungen in Niger?
Ulf Laessing: Entführungen sind in der Region eine wichtige Einnahmequelle für Dschihadisten, die der Al-Kaida oder dem IS nahestehen. Opfer sind bevorzugt Personen aus dem Westen, um dann Lösegelder zu erpressen.
Wie können sie am helllichten Tag einfach eine Frau aus ihrem Haus entführen?
In Agadez gibt es ein hohes Entführungsrisiko. Für die Region in Zentral-Niger gibt es scharfe Reisewarnungen etwa der EU. Der Staat ist sehr schwach und es gibt viele Kriminelle. Sie entführen zuweilen Menschen relativ zufällig und geben sie an die Terrororganisationen weiter. Dort als westliche Person zu wohnen, ist im Grunde unverantwortlich, die Sicherheitslage ist sehr heikel.
Was passiert mit einer Geisel nach deren Entführung?
Der IS kontrolliert im Norden Malis weite Gebiete, in denen er die Geiseln festhalten kann, ohne von staatlichen Sicherheitskräften behelligt zu werden. Meist spielen die Terroristen dann auf Zeit, während sie über ein Lösegeld verhandeln. Mitunter kann es Jahre dauern, bis Geiseln wieder freikommen.
Auch das eidgenössische Departement für auswärtige Angelegenheiten warnt vor einem Besuch in Niger.
«In grossen Teilen der Sahara und des Sahel sind bewaffnete Banden und terroristische Gruppierungen aktiv, die von Schmuggel, Raubüberfällen und Entführungen leben. Sie sind gut organisiert, operieren grenzüberschreitend und haben Verbindungen zu lokalen, kriminellen Gruppen. Immer wieder werden Ausländerinnen und Ausländer in der Sahara und der Sahelzone verschleppt. Besonders gefährdet sind Touristinnen und Touristen, Mitarbeitende von internationalen Organisationen, Hilfsorganisationen und ausländischen Firmen, sowie Personen religiöser Einrichtungen. »
Kürzlich wurde in Niger auch eine Österreicherin entführt. Wie steht es in diesem Fall?
Die Frau wurde im Januar entführt und soll vom IS festgehalten werden. Über den Stand möglicher Verhandlungen ist nichts bekannt.
Was bedeutet die Geiselhaft für die Entführungsopfer?
Die gute Nachricht ist: Die meisten Geiseln kommen irgendwann wieder frei. Doch auch wenn sie einigermassen gut behandelt werden: In der malischen Wüste im Norden ist es am Tag 50 Grad heiss, in der Nacht bitterkalt. Die Verpflegung ist minimal und die medizinische Versorgung zumindest mangelhaft. Zwar haben die Entführer ein Interesse, dass die Geiseln am Leben bleiben. Aber die Umstände sind alles andere als einfach.
Wieso könnte gerade diese Schweizerin entführt worden sein?
Jeder Europäer in der Region hat ein Preisschild auf der Stirn und ist entsprechend attraktiv für Kriminelle. Die Schweizerin hätte nicht in Agadez wohnen dürfen. Sie wiegte sich als mit einem Einheimischen verheiratete Frau wohl in falscher Sicherheit. Spätestens nach der Entführung der Österreicherin im Januar hätte der Alarm losgehen sollen.
Wie reagieren die Behörden in Niger auf eine Entführung?
Sie sind verärgert: Trotz der Gefahren halten sich dort Personen aus dem Westen auf, werden entführt, und dann müssen die Behörden mit den Terroristen verhandeln. Kommt die Geisel später für Lösegeld frei, stärkt das wiederum die Terroristen. Es gibt nur wenig Verständnis für Westler, die glauben, Reisewarnungen gälten nicht für sie. Ausserdem ist der Staat in Niger oder Mali sehr schwach und kann nur wenig ausrichten. In der Wüste, wo sich Tuareg und Terroristen aufhalten, hat der Staat erst recht wenig zu sagen und kann dort kaum Schutz bieten.

BEŞİR KELLECİ - Dünyanın en hızlı akan nehirleri arasında yer alan Çoruh Nehri'nde düzenlenen Üniversiteler Ligi (ÜNİLİG) Türkiye Rafting Şampiyonası'nın ardından tanıtım çalışmalarına ağırlık verilerek, Bayburt'un raftingde marka olması amaçlanıyor.
Son yıllarda tarihi mekanları ve uluslararası ödüllü müzeleriyle kültür turizminin önemli merkezlerinden biri haline gelen Bayburt'un doğa sporlarına elverişli coğrafyası da ön plana çıkarılarak daha fazla yerli ve yabancı turistin ağırlanması hedefleniyor.
Bu kapsamda Bayburt Valiliği, Bayburt Belediyesi ve Bayburt Üniversitesi tarafından Çoruh Nehri'nin mevcut rafting rotalarına kentten geçen kısmının da eklenerek yeni parkurların hem spora hem de turizme kazandırılması için çalışma başlatıldı.
Ekoturizmin canlandırılması için gerçekleştirilen çalışmalar sonucu nehrin Bayburt sınırları içinden geçen ve spora uygun olduğu belirlenen bölümünde 21-25 Nisan tarihleri arasında ÜNİLİG Türkiye Rafting Şampiyonası yapıldı. Azgın sularda kürek çeken sporcular, heyecan dolu dakikalar yaşadı.
Şampiyonanın ardından tanıtım çalışmalarına ağırlık verilerek, Çoruh Nehri'nin rafting ve kanoda yurt içi ve dışında adından söz ettirmesi ve marka olması hedefleniyor.
- 70'ten fazla sporcu Bayburt'a geldi
Bayburt Valisi Mustafa Eldivan, AA muhabirine, Türkiye'nin en hızlı akan ve kenti ikiye bölen Çoruh Nehri'nin her türlü doğa sporu ve aktiviteye uygun olduğunu söyledi.
Yaklaşık iki yıldır rafting ve kano gibi sporlar için altyapı sağlamaya çalıştıklarını belirten Eldivan, "Çünkü Çoruh Nehri'nin en fazla güzellik verdiği şehir Bayburt. Bölgemizde geçtiği yerlerde müzeler, doğal oluşumlar, kültürel ve tarihi olmak üzere çok anlamlı yerler var. Biz de hem spor hem de kültür ve turizm olayına dönüştürelim diye üzerine çalışıyorduk, nitekim bugünlerde Çoruh Nehri'nin bir sportif faaliyetle buluşmasında ilk adımı attık." dedi.
Eldivan, nehrin Bayburt'tan geçen kısmının ilk kez resmi müsabakalara ev sahipliği yaptığını dile getirerek, ÜNİLİG Türkiye Rafting Şampiyonası kapsamında 70'in üzerinde sporcunun Bayburt'a geldiğini söyledi.
Şampiyonanın ilk kez Bayburt'ta yapılmasının da ayrıca önemli olduğunu vurgulayan Eldivan, şunları kaydetti:
"Bayburt bu anlamda hem kültürü hem doğasıyla ve lokasyon itibarıyla keşfedilmeyi bekleyen bir hazine. Biz de rafting ve kanoyla şehrimizi Türkiye'de ve uluslararası camiada hem tarihsel hem kültürel hem de sportif olarak duyurmayı düşünüyoruz. Artık günümüzde insanlar biraz daha sakin, daha önce görmedikleri, keşfetmedikleri yerleri görmek istiyor. Bu anlamda Bayburt eşi bulunmaz bir yer. Rafting şampiyonası da bunun tanıtımına katkı sağladı. Dolayısıyla önümüzdeki yıllarda özellikle rafting ve kano alanında Bayburt'umuzun çok güzel yerlere geleceğini düşünüyorum."
Eldivan, hemen her yıl bu tür şampiyonalara ev sahipliği yapacaklarını söyledi.
Çoruh Nehri'nde ilk kez rafting yaptığını anlatan sporcu Nazlı Üstün ise "Umarım Çoruh Nehri'nde her sporcu rafting yapma şansını bulur. Biz çok eğlendik, umarım bu tür faaliyetlerin devamı gelir." diye konuştu.
Nurettin Çetin de Çoruh Nehri'nde rafting yapmanın zor olduğunu vurgulayarak, rafting için yeniden Bayburt'a gelmek isteğini dile getirdi.

Dorothea Barron, aged 100, said she was “dying to get involved” in the war effort, joining the Women’s Royal Naval Service after leaving school, serving at a base at HMS Hopetoun in Port Edgar, near Edinburgh, as a visual signaller.
In an interview with the Big Issue magazine, she said: “I’d tell my younger self that life is a continual battle. You’ve just got to fight it, you won’t get anywhere if you succumb. That’s what life has taught me. I’m afraid you’ve got to have fighting spirit all your life.
“Never envy anyone, just stand up and make the best of what you have.
“I was dying to get involved but wasn’t tall enough to join the Wrens. We had to be 5ft 3in and I’m only 5ft 2in. So, I cut cardboard and shoved it in the heels of my shoes to push my height up, and I had this great mop of hair that I brushed up high.
“They realised I wasn’t tall enough but could see how keen I was and took pity on me. I would have got in somehow. I’d have done anything to get in.”
She added: “We were a group of girls who were desperate not to let the Nazis in. I was so enthusiastic. It was very fulfilling work. We felt we were contributing to the peace of the world.”
Ms Barron said there are still not enough opportunities for women, and men still have the upper hand.
But she added: “Men still underestimate women, our abilities and courage. Women have to get on with things and look after the family. I admire women tremendously but most men are mollycoddled these days.
“I have nothing but contempt for people who are happy to risk other people’s lives for their own self-glorification. Because men start wars, women don’t. Women are much more sensible and have to pick up the pieces and make life happen again.”

Swing state judge strikes down 24-hour abortion waiting period as unconstitutional | Fox News | https://www.foxnews.com/politics/swing-state-judge-strikes-down-24-hour-abortion-waiting-period-unconstitutional | [

] | A Michigan judge ruled on Tuesday that the state's 24-hour waiting period and informed consent rules restricting abortion were unconstitutional.
The waiting period, which allows abortion-seekers to consider their options before the procedure, was voted into the state constitution by Michigan voters in 2022, before being challenged in a 2024 lawsuit filed by abortion rights groups.
"The mandatory delay exacerbates the burdens that patients experience seeking abortion care, including by increasing costs, prolonging wait times, increasing the risk that a patient will have to disclose their decision to others, and potentially forcing the patient to forgo a medication abortion for a more invasive procedure," state Court of Claims Judge Sima Patel wrote in her opinion.
Patel also ruled it was unconstitutional to ban nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives and physician assistants from performing abortions.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said in a post on X that she was "overjoyed" with the decision.
"I’m overjoyed to say that the Michigan Court of Claims has seen these restrictive provisions for what they are: an unconstitutional overreach that infringes on our constitutional right to make our own reproductive health decisions," Whitmer wrote. "Today’s ruling reaffirms what we already know: reproductive health decisions belong between a patient and their doctor, not the government. I’m proud to know that this Women’s Health Week, we can celebrate by protecting and expanding women’s fundamental rights and freedoms."
Michigan Catholic Conference President and CEO Paul Long said the intent of the proposal was to grant constitutional protections to "an industry that places itself above the health and safety of women and the lives of pre-born children."
"This decision is a tragic reminder that the normalization of abortion in Michigan exists to the detriment of some 31,000 children every year who will never have the opportunity to experience the gift and blessings of life," Long wrote in a statement. "Now, more than ever, we encourage others to envision a world where human life at every stage – from conception to a natural end – is truly cherished and protected, where expecting mothers are supported with love and care and have access to maternal needs, regardless of the circumstance of the pregnancy."
The court upheld a rule that requires abortion providers to screen for signs of coercion.
If the decision is appealed, the case would be elevated to the Michigan Court of Appeals. | 2025-05-14T19:46:14Z | false |

5 social skills you can improve to make new friends as an adult | Los Angeles Times | https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2025-05-14/how-to-make-friends-adult-improve-social-skills | [
"Seraphina Seow"
] | [] | A friend of mine has been hoping to make new friends as a 26-year-old. She’s made every effort to put herself out there: joined clubs, volunteered, initiated catch-ups. But every time she establishes a new connection, it wanes after a few weeks. She suspects that it may be because she pokes fun at people too early in the friendship.
“They get quiet and awkward,” she tells me. “Can’t handle my jokes.”
Striking up meaningful friendships in adulthood is hard. A 2024 study found that 42% of American adults feel they are not as close to their friends as they would like to be. One in three adults feel lonely at least once a week, according to a 2025 American Psychiatric Assn. survey.
Part of the challenge of making friends in adulthood is that it requires more effort. You may have competing responsibilities and are more selective about who you want to spend time with. In college, school or a first job, “there was a built-in cohort of people who were in the same spot in life as you,” says Linda Baggett, a clinical psychologist in Manhattan Beach. You tend to lose this as you grow older and need to be more intentional about hanging out with the same people over and over again, says Albert Bonfil, a psychologist based in Los Angeles.
You may also need to brush up on the social skills required to form and keep a connection in the first place, says Baggett, who adds that these skills get rusty when we don’t socialize frequently or feel anxious.
The Times asked psychologists to share tips for nurturing new friendships, with a focus on social skills. Here’s what they said.
To connect with a friend, you need to be able to be present and observant of what they are relaying to you, says Yasmine Saad, a clinical psychologist in New York City. But “what you feel internally will color the narrative you have” about the interaction, she says.
So, if you assume that people think you’re boring, then when someone doesn’t laugh at your joke, you’ll see that as reinforcing evidence for your internal view. But if you come into a conversation with an open mind, you might not take someone’s lack of laughter as personally.
“If you have a history of social anxiety, you may go into social interactions harboring some really strong assumptions about what’s going on,” says Bonfil.
These kinds of assumptions are distracting and can hinder the possibility for a friendship to form.
“They get in the way of your emotional expressiveness,” says Bonfil, “which is your ability to share your feelings or respond to other people’s feelings.”
The best way to counter this instinct, Bonfil says, is to go into social situations with the aim of collecting evidence that refutes these assumptions. In doing so, they become less compelling and less likely to taint your interpretations of future interactions.
“By developing interpretations that are grounded in the actual experience, you’re more likely to not let self-defeating thinking undermine your relationships,” he says. In other words, you won’t write people off so quickly.
You’re also more likely to remain emotionally regulated, Saad says, which “frees you to be more present and read people correctly.”
You are bound to meet people who socialize differently than you do. You may relish in sarcasm while others may tend to be more earnest, for example. But that doesn’t mean you can’t gel with someone who’s different to you.
When you make a sarcastic joke to a new friend, observe their nonverbal cues, says Bonfil. Have they gone quiet, fidgety, awkward? Take note of what they say. Did they express distaste for the joke?
“What I’m trying to do is facilitate some kind of a conversation, to use their cues to modulate how much sarcasm I use,” says Bonfil.
If they appear uncomfortable, switch gears and offer them another part of your personality, says Bonfil. Perhaps you are also caring or curious about other people’s lives. Lead with these other parts of you when interacting with that friend.
Adjusting how you interact with someone who socializes differently doesn’t mean reigning in your personality, says Saad. “Look at it not as limiting oneself but expanding oneself.”
When speaking to a friend, are you often thinking of what to say next instead of paying attention? Chances are you aren’t actually listening.
“A lot of people are not as good at listening as they think they are,” says Baggett.
This is especially true if you’re overly preoccupied with how you’re coming off.
“If you’re anxious in social situations, you can miss cues or not listen to other people because you’re trying to think about what to say next,” says Bonfil.
Being genuinely curious about what the person has said makes it easier to carry on the conversation from wherever they leave off.
“If you’re really thinking about what they said, then you’re going to have all kinds of other things to say,” Bonfil says. “You might want to talk about your experience of the thing that they said earlier. Or you’re going to have some innate curiosity and ask them what they meant by X, Y and Z.”
I hate small talk. I find it boring and worry it means the conversation is doomed. But Bonfil says small talk is simply a sign that you’re still getting to know one another.
“Relationships don’t start off deep and profound,” he says. “They start off very superficial.”
Small talk is a tool you use to learn about a person who’s still pretty new to you, he explains. It’s “supposed to be dull,” because you’re choosing topics that are safe, that generally sit well with people instead of rocking the boat too early on.
As you bat around innocuous topics like the weather, the latest football score or that TV show’s finale, you gauge how the person responds. It helps you build a mental image of how the person might be in a friendship, says Bonfil. Who knows, after several stints of small talk, you might have a new pal, or realize you have nothing in common.
Lulls and awkwardness in small talk are normal, says Bonfil. It doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong or that the person isn’t worthy of your friendship, he says. It just means it’s still a relatively new relationship.
Smile, take a drink, think about what they said so far and ask a follow-up question. The follow-up question will come to you if you have been listening and are curious about your friend, says Bonfil.
Keep five small-talk topics on hand that you can pivot to if you’re waiting for a new thread to follow during the silence. Here are some to get you started:
There’s nothing wrong with ranting to a friend about something or bringing up a personal issue. After all, for a friendship to deepen, both parties need to be willing to show vulnerability, says Saad.
“If you cannot be vulnerable, then others cannot feel safe around you and open up to you,” and vice versa, she says.
But it’s important to avoid dominating a conversation, says Baggett. It can burn out a new friend.
If you are in the mood to vent, test the waters to see whether someone might be receptive to it. Baggett says something as simple as asking, “Would it be OK if I vent a little?” and waiting for their consent could do the trick. Then, share a little at a time and gauge how the person responds.
“If you put it all out there at once, there’s no way to course correct,” she says.
You can tell that a person wants to listen if they are leaning in, asking follow-up questions or maintaining eye contact.
“But if you see signs like squirming, looking away, glazed eyes, uncomfortable facial expressions, you can check in and ask if they are uncomfortable with what you are sharing,” Baggett advises.
Your friend may simply have limited bandwidth at that moment, “or perhaps the person doing the venting is turning a large percentage of the interactions into venting,” says Baggett.
You can avoid the latter by always making sure “there’s space for the other person to share too, so it’s balanced and they don’t feel like they’re hostage to your story,” says Baggett. So, after your rant, ask your friend about how they are doing. Or, for the next catch-up, turn the focus toward doing a fun activity together.
The best way to improve any social skill is by practice. So, keep initiating the catch-ups, accepting invites for casual hangs, attending those after-work dinners and chatting with acquaintances at events. If you run into a speed bump or feel your anxiety levels skyrocketing, there are psychologists and specialize in friendships and social anxiety who can offer you personalized support. (Before they nudge you back out there to practice, practice and practice some more.) | 2025-05-14T10:00:00Z | false |

Penang sets halal industry milestone with first state council, aims to lead regional and global markets | Malay Mail | https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2025/05/12/penang-sets-halal-industry-milestone-with-first-state-council-aims-to-lead-regional-and-global-markets/176539 | [

] | BUTTERWORTH, May 12 — Penang has become the first state in Malaysia to establish the Penang Halal Industry Development Council (MPIHPP), a move aimed at strengthening the halal industry for sustainable and progressive growth.
Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the establishment of the MPIHPP reflected the state government’s commitment to positioning Penang as a key hub for the production, processing and export of halal products to ASEAN and global markets.
He added that Penang was also the only state to conduct medical device audits in accordance with all nine Malaysian Halal Certification Schemes (SPHM).
“The establishment of the MPIHPP is a strategic move in line with national policies, including the Malaysian Halal Policy and the New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP 2030), which play a role in strengthening halal governance in a systematic, transparent and integrated manner.
“It also expands the cooperation between government agencies, industry players, communities and higher education institutions while driving economic growth through the development of an inclusive, high-impact and export-oriented halal sector,” he said at the MPIHPP launching ceremony here today.
The event was officiated by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also the Halal Industry Development Council (MPIH) chairman.
Elaborating further, Chow said the establishment of Penang Halal International (PHI) under Chief Minister Incorporated (CMI) played a key role in developing the halal industry through certification, strengthening small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and attracting halal investments locally and internationally.
He said the synergy between CMI and PHI formed a strong foundation for the resilience and competitiveness of Penang’s halal sector, and the collaboration would continue to be leveraged through the MPIHPP platform.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister I Datuk Dr Mohamad Abdul Hamid, who is also the MPIHPP chairman, said the establishment of the council was approved at the State Executive Council (MMK) meeting on Jan 22.
He said the MPIHPP was set up to coordinate the efforts of agencies in the comprehensive development of the halal industry in Penang.
Mohamad said as of last April, Penang had 870 active companies with SPHM halal certificates across various sectors, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, logistics, slaughterhouses, and medical devices.
“SPHM enables Bumiputera entrepreneurs to compete more effectively on the global stage and improve their socio-economic well-being.
“The state government will continue to support initiatives such as capacity-building programmes for SMEs to obtain halal certification and match halal businesses with international industry leaders,” he said.
Earlier, a Memorandum of Understanding signing ceremony between the Penang Regional Development Authority (PERDA) and PHI was held, with the aim of establishing cooperation and exploring opportunities to develop, support, and strengthen entrepreneur development programmes via halal certification. — Bernama | 2025-05-12T11:26:53Z | true |

] | KUALA LUMPUR, May 1 — Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Bhd (BPMB) today announced the successful acquisition of shares in Export-Import Bank of Malaysia Bhd (EXIM Bank) and Small Medium Enterprise Development Bank Malaysia Bhd (SME Bank) from Minister of Finance (Incorporated).
In a statement today, BPMB said the transaction was completed based on the net tangible assets of EXIM Bank and SME Bank as of December 31, 2023.
Hence, it said BPMB group, now with EXIM Bank and SME Bank as its subsidiaries, forms a unified entity to better deliver impact capital through a developmental financing ecosystem, in alignment with key national policies — the Malaysia Madani Economic Framework, the New Industrial Master Plan, the National Energy Transition Roadmap, the 12th Malaysia Plan, and the Bumiputera Economic Transformation Plan 2035.
“Backed by the existing combined workforce of over 2,000, BPMB group enhances its capacity to deliver greater impact at scale.
“The group remains committed to maintaining its full workforce and enabling meaningful roles, recognising human capital as central to national development efforts,” the bank said.
Following the completion of the acquisition, BPMP said the three banks are better positioned to expand and strengthen their existing mandates to bridge the country’s developmental funding gap.
It said key pillars in addressing this gap include, among others, support for bumiputera entrepreneurs, financing for SMEs, fostering inbound and outbound transactions, and advocating sustainability for growth.
Collectively, it said that for this year, the group has an allocation of RM8.3 billion to be deployed for national development through its combined strategic programmes.
“This acquisition is expected to generate revenue and cost synergies over time as the three institutions increasingly integrate their resources and expertise to support the growth of Malaysian businesses, both large and small,” it said.
Moving forward, BPMB group will implement a holistic integration plan that leverages the strengths and resources of each entity to support the three distinct market segments effectively.
During the presentation of Budget 2024, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced that development financial institutions would be restructured through the merger of Bank Pembangunan Malaysia, SME Bank and Exim Bank. — Bernama | 2025-05-01T06:40:33Z | true |

] | [] | El anuncio llega tras una nueva jornada de bombardeos de Pakistán a bases indias cerca de la frontera | El anuncio llega tras una nueva jornada de bombardeos de Pakistán a bases indias cerca de la frontera
El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, afirmó este sábado que India y Pakistán han acordado un “alto el fuego total e inmediato”, un anuncio que llega en medio de una nueva jornada de ataques y contraataques lanzados por ambos países contra instalaciones militares del otro.
“Después de una larga noche de conversaciones con la mediación de Estados Unidos, me complace anunciar que India y Pakistán han acordado un alto el fuego total e inmediato. Enhorabuena a ambos países por usar el sentido común y una gran inteligencia”, dijo en una publicación en su red Truth Social.
El ministro de Exteriores de Pakistán, Ishaq Dar, ha confirmado que ambos países han acordado un alto al fuego. Dar ha explicado, a través de un mensaje en la red social X, que tiene “efecto inmediato”.
“Pakistán siempre ha luchado por la paz y la seguridad en la región, sin comprometer su soberanía ni su integridad territorial”, ha defendido el ministro de Exteriores de Pakistán.
Sin embargo, la realidad sobre el terreno parecía ser totalmente distinta, como mínimo solo pocas horas antes del anuncio. La India admitía este sábado que ha sufrido daños, aunque “limitados”, por los ataques cometidos por Pakistán durante la noche contra varias bases aéreas a lo largo de la frontera y aseguró que la mayoría de ellos fueron neutralizados.
“India neutralizó con éxito la mayoría de estas amenazas. Sin embargo, se produjeron daños limitados al equipo y al personal en las estaciones de la Fuerza Aérea India en Udhampur, Pathankot , Adampur y Bhuj”, dijo en una rueda de prensa la comandante del Ejército indio Vyomika Singh.
La madrugada del sábado, el Ejército paquistaní anunció el inicio de la 'Operación Bunyanun Marsoos', indicando que un almacén de misiles del tipo de crucero supersónico BrahMos, desarrollado conjuntamente por India y Rusia, en la región india de Punjab, fue destruido y que se estaban llevando a cabo ataques en otros lugares.
Actualizaciones posteriores informaron sobre la destrucción del almacén de misiles BrahMos en Beas, también en el estado de Punjab, en la base aérea de Udhampur, ubicada en Jammu y Cachemira, y en el aeródromo de Pathankot, en Punjab.
En una rueda de prensa, el teniente general Ahmed Sharif, jefe del ala de medios del ejército (ISPR), acusó a la India de disparar misiles contra su propio territorio. Además dijo que la India disparó misiles aire-tierra contra las bases de la Fuerza Aérea de Pakistán (PAF) en Nur Khan, Mureed y Shorkot, pero aseguró que todos los activos de la PAF están a salvo. Además, acusó a la India de disparar misiles y realizar ataques con drones contra Afganistán.
Pakistán también anunció el lanzamiento de su misil Al Fatah, llamado así en memoria de los niños paquistaníes mártires de un ataque cometido por la India esta semana, y que según Nueva Delhi tenía como objetivo bases terroristas auspiciadas por Islamabad. El Gobierno paquistaní sin embargo asegura que la 'Operación Sindoor' de la India contra nueve localidades paquistaníes ataco a civiles y dejó una veintena de muertos, incluidos niños.
Pakistán asegura que la 'Operación Sindoor' de la India dejó una veintena de muertos
El ISPR proporcionó una lista de objetivos específicos presuntamente alcanzados en la India, que incluye el Cuartel General de Brigada KG Top, ubicado en una zona montañosa de la región de Cachemira, un depósito de suministros de campaña, otro de artillería, y uno de baterías, todos situado cerca de la Línea de Control en Cachemira.
Además de varios aeródromos, las fuerzas paquistaníes reivindican ataques con los misiles hipersónicos JF-17 Thunder que destruyeron el sistema de defensa aérea S-400 de la India en Adampur, en el estado de Punjab. El S-400 es un avanzado sistema de misiles tierra-aire de largo alcance de fabricación rusa.
Si bien Pakistán ha afirmado en numerosas ocasiones haber infligido daños significativos a instalaciones militares indias, la India no ha confirmado oficialmente la destrucción de ninguna de sus bases. A lo largo del día, el Ejército de Pakistán también ha compartido varios videos que muestran columnas de humo y explosiones en diversas áreas, asegurando que corresponden a los ataques exitosos llevados a cabo como parte de la 'Operación Bunyanun Marsoos'. Hasta el momento las declaraciones oficiales de la India han reconocido varios intentos de Pakistán de violar su espacio aéreo, incluidas incursiones con drones, y han informado de la neutralización exitosa de estas amenazas. | 2025-05-10T12:23:28Z | true |

] | A walk around Lake Seppings came with the bonus of a story-telling session as Albany’s children’s librarian Dora Adeline launched Kristin Martin’s second book in the Easter Bilby’s Friends series.
Story Walk: Honey Possum’s Bush Café is set in the Stirling Range and shows the effect of feral rabbits on the habitat.
A dozen children, with parents and friends in tow, listened to the story on Thursday before heading off on a nature trail around the lake.
Ms Adeline, the youth services librarian, said a treasure hunt was staged along the route.
“While on the walk we kept an eye out for the eggs that appear in the story,” she said.
“They were placed at points of interest, including the bird hide and the lookout, where you could really hear the birds and other wildlife.
“The area is full of life, and we often see or hear lizards, frogs, native bees, swans and water birds.
“The school holiday activities are a great way to foster a love of reading through exciting activities for children and their families.

Gegen Tottenham Hotspur hat Eintracht-Trainer Dino Toppmöller gleich mehrere mögliche Erfolgsfaktoren ausgemacht. Ein alter Bekannter aber könnte ihm in die Suppe spucken. Das Wichtigste zum Spiel.
Mach's noch einmal, Eintracht Frankfurt: Mit einem Sieg im Rückspiel gegen Tottenham Hotspur kann die SGE den Halbfinaleinzug in der Europa League klar machen und weiter vom erneuten Titel träumen. Anpfiff in Frankfurt ist am Donnerstagabend um 21 Uhr (Live im Ticker und der Radio-Vollreportage auf sportschau.de).
Die Ausgangslage
Bestens: Die Eintracht hat sich mit dem 1:1 in London eine gute Ausgangsposition erarbeitet, mit dem 3:0 über Heidenheim in der Liga auch noch einmal Schwung fürs Rückspiel geholt. Die Rechnung ist dabei klar: Die Eintracht braucht schlicht einen Sieg, um gegen die Spurs weiterzukommen. "Man merkt es in der ganzen Stadt, im ganzen Verein und auch bei uns in der Mannschaft: Jeder freut sich auf das Spiel", so Robin Koch auf der Pressekonferenz vor der Partie. "Es war wichtig, dass wir die Partie am Wochenende gezogen haben. Die Vorfreude ist unglaublich."
Und die Spurs? Können mit dem 1:1 aus dem Rückspiel nicht wirklich zufrieden sein, erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass die Mannschaft in dieser Saison chronisch auswärtsschwach daherkommt: Von 16 Auswärtsspielen in der Premier League verloren die Londoner ganze zehn. Auch die Generalprobe für das Rückspiel gegen die Eintracht ging dabei in die Hose: Am Wochenende setzte es in Wolverhampton ein 2:4. Ganz klar: Bei dem Club aus dem Norden Londons ist reichlich Druck auf dem Kessel.
Das Personal
Bei Eintracht Frankfurt lichtet sich das Lazarett, fehlen wird allerdings weiterhin Stammkeeper Kevin Trapp. Der Kapitän stieg am Mittwoch zwar wieder ins Training ein, ein Einsatz kommt aber zu früh. Wieder fit und im Kader ist hingegen Ansgar Knauff, ein Einsatz in der Startelf kommt aber laut Toppmöller noch nicht in Frage.
Bei Tottenham kam die Schocknachricht am Mittwoch: Kapitän Heung-Min Son fällt mit einer Fußverletzung aus und ist erst gar nicht mit nach Frankfurt gereist. "Er kämpft seit einigen Wochen mit Fußproblemen. Er hat die letzten Tage trainiert. Gestern hat er versucht zu trainieren, aber es hat nicht geklappt. Deshalb haben wir beschlossen, ihn zu Hause zu lassen", sagte Spurs-Trainer Ange Postecoglou:
So könnte die Eintracht spielen:
So könnte Tottenham spielen: Vicario - Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie - Bergvall, Bentancur - Tel, Maddison, Johnson - Solanke
Das sagen die Trainer
Dino Toppmöller: "In so Spielen kommt es auf die Tagesform an. Alle müssen bei 100 Prozent sein, wo ich mir sicher bin, dass sie es sein werden. Zudem wichtig: ein guter Plan, eine gute Intensität, etwas Spielglück. Wir setzen auch auf den Faktor Publikum."
Ange Postecoglu: "Ich sehe es nicht als Möglichkeit, die Saison zu retten, sondern um etwas Besonderes zu schaffen. Wir können das Halbfinale in einem großen Wettbewerb erreichen. Wir wissen um die Schwere der Aufgabe und wir freuen uns darauf."
Auf diese Spieler gilt es zu achten
80 Millionen Euro? 90? Hundert gar? Aktuell scheint es, als triebe Eintracht-Stürmer Hugo Ekitiké mit jedem Einsatz seinen Marktwert noch ein wenig mehr in die Höhe. Schon im Hinspiel gegen die Spurs traf der Franzose wunderschön zur Führung, was die zahlreichen Premier-League-Scouts auf den Rängen sicherlich wohlwollend zur Kenntnis genommen haben dürften. Gegen Heidenheim legte der 22-Jährige dann mit einem Tor und einer Vorlage nach, von Omar Marmoush wird in Frankfurt dank Ekitiké gar nicht mehr so viel geredet. Eine Form, die er gerne noch für den Saisonendspurt konservieren kann.
Erst dreimal durfte Mathys Tel seit seinem Wechsel von den Bayern zu Tottenham über 90 Minuten ran, am Wochenende gegen Wolverhampton gelang ihm dabei sein zweites Liga-Tor. Den pfeilschnellen, technisch starken Franzosen hätte die Eintracht im Winter auch gerne gehabt, Tel wollte aber partout nicht und wählte lieber die Leihe zu den Spurs. Umso ärgerlicher wäre es, käme Tel ausgerechnet jetzt bei den Londonern ins Rollen.
Die Statistik des Spiels
20 Mal trat Eintracht Frankfurt bereits in europäischen Wettbewerben gegen Teams aus England an, namentlich gegen West Ham United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Burnley, Chelsea, Nottingham, Newcastle und eben Tottenham. Die Bilanz ist dabei noch ein wenig ausbaufähig. Sechsmal gingen die Hessen als Sieger vom Platz, sechsmal gab es ein Unentschieden, achtmal verloren die Hessen. Der Donnerstagabend wäre also auch eine gute Möglichkeit, ein wenig an dieser Statistik zu schrauben.
So verfolgen Sie die Partie
Das gesamte Spiel können Sie ab 21 Uhr im hr-iNFO-Audiostream verfolgen. Auf sportschau.de gibt es zudem einen Live-Ticker. Im Fernsehen wird die Partie bei RTL übertragen. | 2025-04-17T11:09:46Z | true |

Köln taz | Seit Freitag sind die Eisbären Berlin wieder deutscher Eishockey-Meister, zum elften Mal in der Vereinsgeschichte. Und wer ihre Spiele in der Playoff-Final-Serie der DEL gegen die gnadenlos unterlegenen Kölner Haie verfolgt hat, dem könnte noch eine Musik im Kopf herumspuken: Der Refrain des Songs „Viva la vida“ von Coldplay, der bei Heimspielen als Berliner Torhymne gespielt wurde – und zwar fast in einer Dauerschleife.
In den letzten drei der insgesamt fünf Finalbegegnungen zwischen Berlin, dem Hauptrundenzweiten, und dem Sechsten Köln fegten die Eisbären die Haie dreimal mit 7:0 vom Eis; zuletzt am Freitag vor 14.200 Zuschauern in der ausverkauften Arena am Ostbahnhof. 27:3 lautet das Torverhältnis der Serie.
Nie zuvor war ein Team seit Einführung der Playoffs im deutschen Eishockey im Jahr 1981 so dominant, selten ein Titelgewinn so emotional. „Viva la vida“ war das Lieblingslied des Ende Januar im Alter von 26 Jahren an Krebs verstorbenen Berliner Stürmers Tobias Eder. Ihm widmeten seine Teamkollegen die Meisterschaft 2025. Die Verlobte und Angehörige des Verstorbenen waren dabei, als auf dem Eis gefeiert wurde.
„Sportlich war es eine super Saison. Aber abseits vom Eishockey war es für uns alle ein sehr schweres Jahr. Ich glaube, dass uns das alles zusammengeschweißt hat“, sagte Berlins Kapitän Kai Wissmann, der wegen einer Handverletzung die letzten vier Playoff-Spiele verpasst hatte. Jonas Müller, Wissmanns Vertreter als Captain, meinte: „Man hat gemerkt, dass wir es auch für Tobi gemacht haben. Wir haben gekämpft bis zum Ende, alles gegeben, alles reingeworfen.“
Reich und clever
Dass sie alle zusammen für Tobias Eder spielten, war einer der Gründe, die die Berliner Stärke ausmachten, aber nicht der einzige. Geld ist auch ein Faktor. Die Eisbären, die zur US-amerikanischen Anschutz-Gruppe gehören, haben einen der höchsten Etats aller 14 DEL-Mannschaften. Allerdings sind die Adler Mannheim, hinter denen ein großes Software-Unternehmen steht, und München, gesponsert von einem österreichischen Energie-Brausehersteller, mindestens genauso reich – aber längst nicht so erfolgreich. Besonders Mannheim, das im Halbfinale in vier Spielen an Berlin scheiterte, neigt dazu, Stars zusammenzukaufen, die dann aber kein Team bilden. München verlor, obwohl Startrainer Don Jackson reaktiviert wurde, im Viertelfinale gegen Mannheim.
Bei den Eisbären, die seit 2019 vom Kanadier Serge Aubin trainiert werden, kommen Geld und schlaue sportliche Planung zusammen. 2020 gab es wegen Corona keine Playoffs. 2021 und 2022 gewann Aubin mit den Eisbären den Titel. 2023 folgte eine schwache Saison mit einer Mannschaft, die nicht funktionierte, sodass die Eisbären die Playoff-Teilnahme verpassten. Überraschenderweise durfte der Trainer bleiben, und es wurde ein neues Team geformt. Das zahlte sich aus. Die Eisbären triumphierten 2024 und nun 2025 wieder – und Aubin kann von sich sagen, noch nie eine Playoff-Serie mit Berlin verloren zu haben.
Die Berliner Mannschaft ist breit aufgestellt – und lebt nicht von einem besonderen Spielsystem, sondern von der Klasse und der Disziplin ihrer Profis. Jeder Spieler kennt und akzeptiert seine Rolle im Team. Das Kollektiv scheint so gut zu harmonieren, dass Profis, die sich den Berlinern anschließen, dort regelmäßig besser werden. Ein gutes Beispiel ist Torwart Jake Hildebrand. Als der US-Profi 2023 nach Berlin kam, wurde gemäkelt, er sei nicht gut genug, da er zuvor hauptsächlich in der unterklassigen East Coast Hockey League aktiv gewesen war.
Nach dem Finale gegen Köln stehen nun drei Shut-outs in Serie, Zu-Null-Spiele, in seiner Statistik. Und das hat in der DEL vor ihm in einem Finale niemand geschafft. Oder US-Stürmer Ty Ronning, MVP des Playoff-Finals, der aus Ingolstadt verpflichtet wurde – und mit den deutschen Nationalspielern Leo Pföderl und Frederik Tiffels die beste Sturmreihe der Liga bildet. Von den 27 Finaltoren gingen zehn auf das Konto dieser Formation. Eventuell wird der Refrain von „Viva la vida“ die Haie-Profis künftig in ihren Albträumen verfolgen. | 2025-04-27T12:39:00Z | true |
US seeks to weaken global development finance efforts, UN document shows | Malay Mail | https://www.malaymail.com/news/world/2025/05/05/us-seeks-to-weaken-global-development-finance-efforts-un-document-shows/175678 | [

"United Nations General Assembly"
] | BRUSSELS, May 5 — The United States is seeking to weaken a global deal aimed at helping developing countries struggling with the impacts of climate change and other issues, an internal United Nations document seen by Reuters showed.
The Trump administration opposes draft reforms of the world’s financial system intended to help developing countries, including around taxation, credit ratings and fossil fuel subsidies. It also wants mentions of “climate,” “gender equality” and “sustainability” stripped out.
The previously unreported document sheds light on how the Trump administration is seeking to imprint an “America First” agenda, including opposition to efforts to slow climate change and promote diversity, on the institutions at the heart of fixing global systemic crises.
The once-a-decade, 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4) in Seville, Spain, in June aims to influence the strategic direction of the world’s development finance institutions. Countries agreed at FFD3, for example, to broaden tax cooperation efforts so that developing countries could help set the rules and as of last May more than 140 countries were involved.
“This conference is about bringing the world’s leaders together and setting the underlying rules and priorities for financing development goals over the next decade,” Tom Mitchell, executive director of the International Institute for Environment and Development, told Reuters.
Compiled by the permanent representatives to the UN of Mexico, Nepal, Norway, and Zambia, with help from the UN secretariat, the April 11 negotiating draft is annotated with the positions of the 193 nations involved in the discussions.
With ongoing changes at the World Bank and International Monetary Fund in the fight against climate change already facing pushback from US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the document showed it was seeking to water down further reform efforts.
Among specific points in the text that refer to the systemic reform, the document shows the US wants to remove a reference to a “package of reforms” for sustainable development. It wants to replace a line promising to “commit to reform the international financial architecture” with a pledge to “recognise the need to enhance its resilience and effectiveness in responding to present and future challenges and crises.”
Such changes in language signal the degree of shared commitment that can then be used as support for action or inaction in future talks.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres has acknowledged the need to overcome multiple challenges ahead of the conference, but urged “all countries to be at the table in Sevilla focused on solutions,” spokesperson Florencia Soto Niño said in an email to Reuters.
The White House and Treasury Department did not respond to requests for comment. The State Department declined to comment.
While the US’ position on development has become tougher under Trump, the negotiating document shows it remains supportive of efforts that include developing countries working more closely with the private sector, and fostering innovation and financial literacy.
Climate change
A key goal of the global reforms is to better help poorer nations cope with weather disasters, which are worsening due to climate change, and to boost economic development using low-carbon energy rather than traditional fossil fuels.
President Donald Trump has quit the UN Paris climate agreement, slashed US foreign development aid by more than 80 per cent as part of a government overhaul led by billionaire Elon Musk and embarked on a trade war that is hurting many poorer nations.
Among areas of the FFD4 document that the US objects to is a call for countries to explore “global solidarity levies” that could include taxes on highly polluting activities or on the super-rich to finance sustainable development.
If included, the levies could be taken up in UN negotiations on taxes this year and would bolster a task force led by France, Kenya and Barbados that aims to develop such taxes among smaller groups of countries.
Other countries to object include Russia, Saudi Arabia and China.
The US is also seeking to delete a paragraph calling for companies to pay tax to the countries where economic activity occurs; a paragraph on helping developing countries bolster tax transparency; and another on phasing out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies, the document shows.
Many of the world’s poorest countries struggle with high debt and the costs of rebuilding after disastrous storms, but the FFD4 document shows the US wants to strike a paragraph on reforming the credit-rating system.
That includes a push for raters to take a more forgiving approach to poorer nations that voluntarily restructure their debt to invest in green projects, it showed.
The US also opposes a commitment to ensure countries receive “adequate and uninterrupted funding on appropriate terms of social protection and other essential social spending during shocks and crises,” the document shows.
While the US has considerable influence as the biggest shareholder in both the World Bank, which provides loans and grants to developing countries, and the IMF, and is currently reviewing its role in both, the draft deal is likely to change further as countries continue negotiations in May, before reaching consensus on a final document in mid-June.
The US position puts pressure on other countries to accept a weaker deal, since the talks aim to adopt a deal by consensus. — Reuters | 2025-05-05T10:59:28Z | true |

Kim Kardashian is finally going to testify about being robbed in Paris. How did we get here? | Los Angeles Times | https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2025-05-12/kim-kardashian-paris-robbery-trial-explainer | [
"Christie D’Zurilla"
] | [] | It has been almost 3,150 days — more than 8½ years — since Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris. On Tuesday, she finally gets to testify against the suspects.
By the fall of 2016, the Kim Kardashian West train had been speeding through the celebrity landscape like a bullet for years, running down anyone in its way and leaving everyone else in the dust. She was everything everywhere all at once, all the time. She had been married, then divorced, then had babies, then got married again. She broke the internet. And that fame train seemed destined to circle the globe in perpetuity.
Then came Paris Fashion Week. What could go wrong?
In the early-morning hours of Oct. 3, 2016, the Kim K. train suddenly derailed: A party of men entered Kardashian’s two-story Paris pad, armed with guns and zip ties and hunting for jewels. Specifically, Kardashian’s jewels, which she had flaunted on social media.
Shortly after 2 a.m. local time, Kardashian was reportedly lying in bed clad only in a robe when she heard people stomping up the stairs in her two-story apartment at the Hôtel de Pourtalès. It turned out the men had been directed there by the night concierge, who said he had been threatened at gunpoint. She caught a glimpse of two of the guys, rolled off the bed and tried to call her bodyguard before her phone was taken from her.
Her wrists were zip-tied and duct-taped, and she was grabbed by the ankles — at which point, she told the police, she thought she was going to be raped. Instead, her assailants bound her ankles with duct tape and carried her to the bathtub, as Kardashian screamed for them to take her money and jewelry but please spare her life, because she was at that point the mother of two children.
The men did not speak English but kept saying, “Ring, ring,” she told police. After Kardashian told them where to find the massive diamond — a recent gift from then-husband Kanye West that she had been showing off on social media — they duct-taped her mouth.
Kardashian was left lying helplessly on the bathroom floor as the robbers left with their haul. A friend who was staying in a downstairs bedroom heard the commotion and called the reality star’s bodyguard, who had been out with her sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner at a club nearby and quickly returned to the hotel.
The internet-posting public did not believe her, at least at first. Self-styled pundits immediately suggested she had staged the whole thing for publicity — as if she couldn’t get that on her own simply by waking up and snapping a selfie. The reality star quickly sued MediaTakeout.com for libel after it said she made up the story, lied about the assault and filed a fraudulent insurance claim. Police, meanwhile, quickly dismissed the notion that Kardashian was lying because she was so badly shaken up, but seriously investigated whether it was an inside job. (The night concierge and the bodyguard are slated to testify at trial.)
The libel lawsuit was settled within weeks, CNN reported, with the website issuing a retraction and acknowledging that Kardashian had in fact been robbed at gunpoint.
Arrests came Jan. 10, 2017, when 17 people were taken into custody in multiple raids around Paris. Kardashian’s chauffeur was among those arrested, but he was released after questioning. By 2021, the suspects had been narrowed to 12 people who were slated to stand trial. One suspect, however, has died since being questioned, and another has been excused from the trial because he is 81 and has advanced Alzheimer’s, the BBC reported.
In fact, French media has been referring to the main suspects as the Grandpa Robbers, due to their advanced ages — the eldest defendant is 78. They didn’t really know who Kardashian was at the time of the robbery but were reportedly told she was “a rapper’s wife.” Ten suspects remain on the hook, including one woman. Of those, five went into Kardashian’s apartment during the robbery. The rest are accused of aiding and abetting.
One suspect, Yunice Abbas, told a French outlet in 2022 that since Kardashian “was throwing money away, I was there to collect it, and that was that. Guilty? No, I don’t care. I don’t care.”
Now 71, Abbas, one of two suspects whose DNA was found at the crime scene, has said he plans to apologize when he’s in court. He also says he was unarmed and acted as a lookout on the ground floor of the hotel.
“I saw one of her shows where she threw her diamond in the pool in that episode of ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians,’” he told Vice in 2022. “I thought, ‘She’s got a lot of money. This lady doesn’t care at all.’”
The alleged mastermind behind the plot, Aomar Ait Khedache, wrote an apology letter to Kardashian from prison in 2017, saying he regretted his actions and realized the psychological damage he caused. “Old Omar” has admitted tying up Kardashian but denies being the brains behind the operation.
The other suspects, including Ait Khedache’s son Harminy, have maintained their innocence.
About $6 million worth of jewelry was stolen, or maybe it was $10 million worth, depending on which of the many accounts can be trusted. Kardashian and ex-husband Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, reportedly submitted insurance claims worth $5.6 million. In the 8½ years since the robbery, only one piece has been recovered: a diamond cross on platinum that the suspects lost as they escaped on bicycles. Its value was estimated at just over $33,000, per Vanity Fair.
An 18.8-carat diamond ring — which was a gift to Kardashian from Ye — a yellow-gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, seven Cartier and Hermès bracelets and three gold-and-diamond grills were all in the haul, VF reported. Anything that was unique, like the stone in that diamond ring, has likely been broken down into pieces and resold, a jewelry-theft expert told People in 2016.
Kardashian is set to testify in Paris on Tuesday afternoon — around 5 a.m. in California. She will be questioned first by the judge, according to the New York Post, then by her attorneys, then by the prosecutors, and finally by the defendants’ attorneys.
In mid-April, a Kardashian attorney confirmed to the AP that she would testify at the trial, which started April 28 and is scheduled to run until May 23. But until she appears on the stand, the statement said, the reality mogul is “reserving her testimony for the court and jury and does not wish to elaborate further at this time.”
That sounds like it’s French for “no comment.” | 2025-05-12T23:41:35.673000Z | false |

Unas 25.000 personas, según los datos de la Delegación del Gobierno, se han concentrado este sábado en la Plaza de Colón de Madrid y sus alrededores, convocados por la plataforma Por la España Constitucional, que aglutina a 129 asociaciones cívicas, para pedir la dimisión de Sánchez y exigir la convocatoria inmediata de elecciones. A las protestas se han sumado PP y VOX.
Exigen al presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, que convoque elecciones ante el desacuerdo de las últimas medidas aprobadas por el Ejecutivo central.
El portavoz del grupo Popular en el Congreso de los Diputados, Miguel Tellado, ha subrayado que el Ejecutivo está en una situación “francamente delicada porque no tiene una mayoría parlamentaria que sustente su acción, y, por tanto, estamos ante un Gobierno fallido”.
En declaraciones a los medios durante la concentración en la Plaza de Colón de Madrid contra el Gobierno, convocada por varias asociaciones civiles, el portavoz del PP en el Congreso ha señalado que su partido comparte el objetivo de las protestas “por la dimisión del presidente Pedro Sánchez y la convocatoria de elecciones”.
Lectura de varios manifiestos
La concentración de protesta ha comenzado sobre la 12.15 horas con la lectura de varios manifiestos, en una plaza de Colón prácticamente llena, con las inmediaciones de la rotonda contigua y la cercana calle Génova también abarrotada por manifestantes.
“Estamos en una legislatura fallida, que creemos que es una legislatura equivocada y que solo responde al ansia de poder” del presidente del Gobierno, dijo Tellado.
“En España tenemos un Gobierno que no gobierna, un Congreso que no legisla y unas minorías independentistas, minorías extremistas que son las que deciden lo que se hace en España”, ha continuado Tellado, quien ha apuntado que “el ejemplo más evidente es el colapso que sufrieron las infraestructuras ferroviarias a inicios de esta semana y esta misma noche también en las líneas ferroviarias de Andalucía”.
VOX lanza mensajes al PP
“La situación es insostenible y por eso nosotros hoy estamos aquí respaldando a más de ciento veinte asociaciones de la sociedad civil española, que reivindican la dimisión de Pedro Sánchez y la convocatoria inmediata de elecciones”, ha apuntado.
A la concentración también se han sumando dirigentes de Vox, como el portavoz municipal en Madrid Javier Ortega Smith, quien ha subrayado que “ha llegado la hora en que los españoles se han dado cuenta de que no es una cuestión de siglas, que no es una cuestión de partidos”.
En un mensaje dirigido de forma directa al Partido Popular, Ortega Smith ha dicho que “no cabe estar poniendo paños calientes”, sino que “hay que lograr derrocarlo, sacarlo de las instituciones, porque Sánchez es el mayor enemigo de España”.
La respuesta del Gobierno
La respuesta del Gobierno ha llegado de la mano del ministro para la Transformación Digital y de la Función Pública, Óscar López, que ha calificado la manifestación contra el presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, como una expresión de “la España del pasado” y ha asegurado que representa “a todos aquellos que están contra los avances” del país.
En declaraciones a la prensa López ha destacado los logros económicos del Gobierno, señalando que “España bate récord de empleo y de crecimiento”, y ha contrastado esta situación con lo que considera una posición “cada vez más pequeña y más irrelevante” de la oposición.
El ministro ha interpretado la manifestación como un rechazo a las políticas sociales del Ejecutivo: “Los que hoy se manifiestan están en contra de la reforma laboral, en contra de la subida de las pensiones, en contra del ingreso mínimo vital, en contra de que suba el salario mínimo”, ha subrayado.
Frente a esta protesta, ha hecho un llamamiento a los madrileños para que acudan a una manifestación de este domingo en defensa de Europa, argumentando que “Europa vive amenazada por una ola ultraderechista que amenaza nuestros valores”. | 2025-05-10T12:16:24Z | true |

Estas instalaciones, construidas para evitar verter el agua directamente al río, pueden almacenar 1.410.100 metros cúbicos | Con las lluvias de marzo, los 38 tanques de tormentas alcanzaron su capacidad máxima. Estas instalaciones, construidas para evitar verter el agua directamente al río, pueden almacenar 1.410.100 metros cúbicos
Una de las últimas guaridas de El Profesor en 'La casa de papel' fue el tanque de las tormentas de Los Migueles, nombre ficticio con el que rebautizaron al depósito de Arroyofresno, la instalación más grande de este tipo que hay en la capital, ... junto con la de Butarque. Este depósito, el más grande de Europa (y del mundo, hasta que Japón se animó a levantar uno mayor), tiene capacidad para almacenar 400.000 metros cúbicos de agua de lluvia, más de ocho veces el estanque del Retiro. Gracias a instalaciones como estas, Madrid pudo gestionar las históricas tormentas de marzo, que dejaron los 38 tanques de tormentas de la ciudad a rebosar, al máximo de su capacidad total, 1.410.100 metros cúbicos (el agua que cabe al llenar un estadio Santiago Bernabéu y medio), contaba ayer durante su visita a este equipamiento Borja Carabante, delegado de Urbanismo, Medio Ambiente y Movilidad.
Los tanques de tormentas son en realidad inmensas piscinas subterráneas que almacenan el agua de lluvia que recogen las alcantarillas y colectores de toda la ciudad. El de Arroyofresno, situado bajo el campo de golf de entrenamiento del Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, tiene una superficie equivalente 140 metros de ancho por 290 metros de largo (como casi cuatro campos de fútbol) y 22 metros de profundidad. Ayer, sin embargo, apenas había siete metros de agua sucia entre los grandes pilares que sostienen el conjunto. El olor que desprende esta mezcla no sorprende, aunque sí que entre las pasarelas que conectan los distintos depósitos haya salvavidas. Mejor no tener que entrar en el fango.
Cuando las precipitaciones son muy intensas – y marzo fue el mes más lluvioso de la serie histórica, con precipitaciones de 237 litros por metro cuadrado registradas en estaciones como Retiro, muy por encima del anterior récord, 198 litros por metro cuadrado que se marcaron noviembre de 1997– y las ocho depuradoras de la capital no pueden procesar este caudal, el excedente, en lugar de verterse directamente al río, se deposita en estas instalaciones. Allí se reserva hasta que pasa la tormenta y se puede reconducir a las plantas de tratamiento. Hasta el 31 de marzo, los 38 tanques de la ciudad almacenaron 2.748.594 litros, lo que supone un 48,7% más que la media de los últimos seis años. De hecho, desde 2020 el volumen medio de agua acumulada se sitúa en los 1,8 millones de litro, por lo que estas instalaciones han sumado en los tres primeros meses de este año 900.000 litros a su media habitual.
No solo se evita la contaminación de los ríos, sino que, además, se impiden posibles inundaciones y daños ambientales
Cuando baja el nivel de lluvias, y tanto las condiciones climatológicas como la capacidad de las depuradoras lo permite, se empiezan a vaciar. El agua, ya depurada, se utiliza después para el riego de zonas verdes y el baldeo de las calles. Aunque en estos estanques el agua no se trata, sí mejora ligeramente su calidad: «Al final, estos tanques también ofrecen algo de tratamiento, porque el agua discurre por unas rejas en las que se quedan atrapados los sólidos más grandes, mucha toallita, por ejemplo, que aunque se diga que son biodegradables no lo son. Y luego, al final, en el tanque también se decanta, porque los residuos más pesados se quedan en el fondo».
Para limpiar en profundidad las piscinas, que están compartimentadas para que no todo el agua se ensucie a la vez, relata López, cuentan con una especie de pequeñas compuertas de apertura rápida «que generan una ola que barre la porquería del fondo».
Desde 2007
Aunque en el centro hay una sala de control, explican los técnicos, en realidad todos los sistemas y canalizaciones se pueden manejar de forma remota. Los responsables del Canal de Isabel II, que gestionan esta infraestructura, solo acuden presencialmente a estas salas en situaciones de crisis o lluvias muy intensas, como ocurrió también en marzo.
Estas instalaciones, por tanto, cumplen un doble objetivo: «Por una parte nos dan seguridad, porque permiten modular el cauce del Manzanares evitando desbordamientos, y por otro cumplen un fin medioambiental, porque sin estos colectores estas aguas residuales se verterían directamente al río».
Esta era la costumbre habitual en la ciudad hasta 2007, cuando comenzaron a construirse, bajo el mandato de Alberto Ruiz Gallardón, estas instalaciones. Se edificaron, cuenta Marta López, jefa de servicio de alcantarillado, con motivo del soterramiento de la M-30. Uno de los principales servicios afectados eran los colectores de margen del Manzanares, por lo que la Conferencia Hidrográfica del Tajo, que tenía que autorizar las obras, «pidió que se construyeran tanques en las conexiones y se vertiera el agua residual al cauce con una dilución mínima, lo más limpia posible». En total, recordó Carabante, «se invirtieron más de 1.500 millones de euros en infraestructuras que nadie ve pero que son imprescindibles para gestionar la ciudad y estar listos para los nuevos eventos climatológicos que vivimos».
Por el momento, no está previsto que esta red –cuatro tanques de más capacidad en lugares estratégicos y una treintena menores– crezca, pues al no recoger aguas residuales, sino de lluvias o tormentas, no tienen que redimensionarlo con el crecimiento poblacional de la ciudad, algo en lo que sí están trabajando en el caso de las depuradoras, que habrá que «repensar» cuando se llenen los nuevos desarrollos del sureste. | 2025-05-07T06:34:06Z | false |

] | Football organisations could be forced to pay towards the care costs of ex-players who have suffered brain conditions caused by heading footballs under proposals to be tabled in Parliament.
Campaigners are drafting amendments to the Football Governance Bill with the aim of treating it as an “industrial injuries issue” and overseeing a scheme to provide care and support for those affected.
The proposals seek to require the industry, including the Football Association (FA) and Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA), to provide the necessary financial support amid concerns existing arrangements are not fit for purpose.
The Brain Health Fund, set up with an initial £1 million in 2023 by the PFA union with support from the Premier League, has been criticised by campaigners. The Premier League said the fund has supported 121 families with at-home adaptations and care home fees.
Labour MP Chris Evans is among those who are pushing for the football authorities to contribute towards the high care costs faced by players who have gone on to develop Alzheimer’s, dementia and other neurological illnesses after they have retired.
From the 1966 World Cup winning England team, both Jack and Bobby Charlton died with dementia, as did goalscorer Martin Peters, Ray Wilson and Nobby Stiles.
The Football Governance Bill would create an independent regulator for the top five tiers of the men’s game in England to ensure clubs are run sustainably and are accountable to their fans.
Mr Evans, the MP for Caerphilly MP, hopes to amend the Bill to establish a financial scheme to provide care and support for ex-footballers.
Mr Evans said he believed it was “absolutely disgraceful the way the PFA has treated these players” and a recent event in Parliament heard successive stories of families who felt let down by the union.
Those in attendance included World Cup Final hat-trick scorer scorer Sir Geoff Hurst and former England manager Kevin Keegan, as well as Premier League winners Chris Sutton and David May.
Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham, who has helped draft the amendment alongside Liverpool city region mayor Steve Rotheram, told the meeting: “It’s like the game is in denial about the whole thing, and that just cannot continue.”
He added: “The game should fix it. Any industry should fix it. And I do think we need to see this as an industrial injuries issue in the same way with mining, where Parliament had to step in and create the Coal Health Compensation Scheme.”
Mr Evans, who wrote a biography on former Leeds United manager Don Revie, agreed that the illnesses should be treated the same as others regularly suffered in the workplace.
He said: “I think it’s really important that when people have paid in, they should be able to claim against industrial injury or anything happening to them while they were on the pitch, they deserve to be compensated and ensured they have that insurance premium paid out.”
According to a draft amendment, the proposed change would see a clause added in that would “supervise an industry financial scheme to provide care and support for those affected”.
A second amendment says: “It is appropriate that the industry rather than the public should bear the financial burden,” with a third saying money should come from competition organisers, with funds drawn from broadcast revenue.
Mr Evans said: “I worry about it when I watch games now, and I cringe when I see my eight-year-old boy play football if he heads the ball. There needs to be research into it. But it’s a win-win for society as well, if football does start researching the causes of dementia, perhaps we can finally find a cure for this disease off the back of it as well.”
The 2019 FIELD Study, co-funded by the PFA and the FA, found footballers were three-and-a-half times more likely to die of neurodegenerative disease than age-matched members of the population.
Further FIELD Study research published last December found that the increased risk was not driven by general health or lifestyle factors.
John Stiles, whose father Nobby died in 2020 aged 78, chaired the event in Parliament last week.
He said: “How can it be right that heroes alive today like Tony Parkes, hundreds of others, don’t get the cash for the care they deserve from an industry rolling with cash?
“How can it be right that heroes like Chris Nicholl, Gordon McQueen, Jimmy Robson, Joe Kinnear, hundreds of others, died without getting the help they needed from an industry awash with cash?”
Mr Sutton, whose father Mike – himself a former footballer – died of dementia in 2020, said: “We are asking our industry to look after our own players who have been shunned and forgotten and their families, who face huge care costs. Is that too much to ask for?”
The PFA and Premier League declined to comment.
An FA spokesperson said: “We continue to take a leading role in reviewing and improving the safety of our game. This includes investing in and supporting multiple projects in order to gain a greater understanding of this area through objective, robust and thorough research.
“We have already taken many proactive steps to review and address potential risk factors which may be associated with football whilst ongoing research continues in this area including liaising with the international governing bodies.”
An EFL Spokesperson said: “The EFL is working closely with other football bodies to ensure that playing the game at both a professional and grassroots level is as safe as it can be.
“This work includes ongoing research, education programmes for professional players and changes to the game itself, such as the use of concussion substitutes and training protocols for professional players.
“We are also continuing to actively engage in discussions to ensure that those who have been impacted by this issue receive support.” | 2025-05-04T23:01:00Z | true |

Was würde das für Norddeutschland bedeuten? | Heute Vormittag will der Verband der europäischen Übertragungsnetzbetreiber eine Studie zu den Strompreiszonen in der EU vorstellen. Möglicherweise wird empfohlen, Deutschland künftig in mehrere Zonen aufzuteilen. Was würde das für Norddeutschland bedeuten?
Für Bürgermeister Joannis Stasinopoulos sind Windräder ein gewohnter Anblick. In seiner Gemeinde Lentföhrden im Kreis Segeberg stehen fünf Anlagen, zwei weitere sind geplant. "Wir produzieren schon jetzt an einem sonnigen Tag mit leichtem Wind das Zwölffache der Strommenge, die wir hier vor Ort benötigen", sagt Stasinopoulos stolz. Und es könnte noch wesentlich mehr Strom sein. Denn häufig stehen die Windräder notgedrungen still. "Sie werden bei starkem Wind immer wieder abgestellt, damit die Spannung im Netz nicht zu hoch ist", erklärt der Bürgermeister. Und das sei natürlich nicht gut. Schließlich sei der Anblick der Windmühlen in der Natur nicht gerade schön. "Und dann stehen sie einfach da und produzieren nicht einmal Strom."
Und dann springen teure Gaskraftwerke im Süden ein
Häufig ist der Wind in Schleswig-Holstein und im ganzen Norden so stark, dass die Leitungsnetze das große Stromangebot nicht transportieren können. Und dann werden viele Windanlagen im Norden angehalten - nicht nur in Lentföhrden. Der Haken dabei ist: Wenn im Süden Deutschlands der Strombedarf zur gleichen Zeit groß ist, müssen dort teure Gaskraftwerke hochgefahren werden. Dies lässt für den Moment den Börsenstrompreis für Großkunden in ganz Deutschland steigen - auch im Norden, wo eigentlich viel günstiger Strom vorhanden ist. Zudem werden die Windanlagen-Betreiber für die Zwangspause entschädigt. Die Ausgleichszahlungen für die Strom-Produzenten summieren sich: Für das Jahr 2024 kamen so laut Bundesnetzagentur 2,8 Milliarden Euro zusammen. Diese Kosten werden auf die Verbraucher umgelegt.
Schweden ist schon in Zonen aufgeteilt
Wie könnte der Strommarkt in Deutschland wirkungsvoller geregelt werden? Eine Lösung, die seit Längerem diskutiert wird, sind kleinere Strompreiszonen, wie es sie beispielsweise in Schweden schon gibt. Die EU-Kommission setzte sie dort im Jahr 2011 durch. In Schweden unterscheidet sich nun der durchschnittliche Börsenstrompreis - übers Jahr gesehen - in den einzelnen Zonen teils deutlich. Die EU prüft gerade, ob eine Aufteilung auch in Deutschland für den europäischen Strommarkt vorteilhafter wäre.
Strommarkt-Experte hält kleinere Zonen für sinnvoll
"Heute tut der Strommarkt so, als gäbe es unendlich Möglichkeiten, Strom von allen Ecken Deutschlands in alle anderen Ecken zu transportieren", sagt Strommarkt-Experte Lion Hirth von der Hertie School in Berlin. "Das entspricht aber nicht der physikalischen Wirklichkeit." Zu häufig seien die Netze überfordert. Kleinere Strompreiszonen hingegen würden dafür sorgen, dass der regionale Strompreis den wahren Gegebenheiten entspricht, also dem Angebot und der Nachfrage. "Nur dann kann man das Stromsystem effizient betreiben", meint Hirth. "Das heißt zum Beispiel: Batterien als Stromspeicher oder Kraftwerke und Anlagen für erneuerbare Energien so einzusetzen, dass sie auch wirklich Sinn machen fürs Stromnetz."
Bürgermeister: "Ich wünsche mir eine fairere Lösung"
Ob mehrere Strompreiszonen eine gute Lösung für Norddeutschland wären, vermag der Bürgermeister von Lentföhrden nicht einzuschätzen. Aber er sagt: "Aus meiner Sicht wäre es fairer, wenn die Strompreise im Norden, wo die Wege für den Windstrom kürzer sind, niedriger wären als in anderen Gegenden in Deutschland, wo der Windstrom erst über lange Leitungen hintransportiert werden muss." Ein wenig ärgert Stasinopoulos auch, dass in Bayern vielerorts keine Windräder errichtet werden, weil Anwohner dagegen sind. Immerhin: Seine Gemeinde profitiert finanziell von den Windkraft-Anlagen - durch das Entgelt in Höhe von 0,2 Cent pro eingespeister Kilowattstunde, das für umliegende Gemeinden vorgesehen ist.
Wind im Norden, Solar im Süden
In Norddeutschland stehen viel mehr Windräder als im Süden. Im Ruhrgebiet, Baden-Württemberg und Bayern stehen kaum welche. Zwar ist deutschlandweit mehr Solar- als Windleistung installiert, insbesondere im Süden - die Unterschiede zwischen den Regionen sind jedoch kleiner. Somit entsteht an windreichen Tagen mit wenig Sonne günstiger Strom vor allem an den Küsten und muss dann zu den Industriegebieten im Inland gelangen.
Würde der Strompreis für Privathaushalte sinken?
Ob eine Neuregelung der Strompreiszonen zu geringeren Preisen für Endverbraucher führen würde, ist nicht ausgemacht. "Um das als privater Haushalt zu merken, müsste man schon sehr genau hinschauen", sagt Experte Hirth. "Ich würde mal tippen, der Strompreis in Norddeutschland würde in der geteilten Zone ungefähr um einen Cent pro Kilowattstunde sinken." Im Moment liege der Strompreis ungefähr bei 30 Cent.
Größere Auswirkungen könnten neue Zonen für Großabnehmer haben, für die die Strombörse maßgeblich ist, wo der aktuelle Strompreis alle Viertelstunde neu festgelegt wird. Vielfach lautet die Sorge: Bei einer Aufteilung des Strommarktes in Deutschland könnte eine Folge sein, dass Industrie-Unternehmen im Süden und Westen mehr für ihren Strom zahlen müssten. Deshalb haben sich auch sechs Bundesländer aus diesen Regionen gegen eine Aufteilung ausgesprochen. Auch im Koalitionsvertrag von Union und SPD steht, dass an der einheitlichen Strompreiszone festgehalten werden soll.
"Das ist ein Missverständnis in der Politik"
Lion Hirth meint dazu: Diese Sicht der Politik gehe an der Realität vorbei. "Im Kern handelt es sich um ein Missverständnis. Bei Interessen-Vertretern und vielen Politikern hat sich der Eindruck festgesetzt, dass es darum geht, den Süddeutschen etwas wegzunehmen, um es den Norddeutschen zu geben. Aber darum geht es überhaupt nicht. Das ist überhaupt nicht das, was eine Strompreiszone bewirkt." Vielmehr gehe es darum, in jedem Moment das Stromsystem effizienter zu betreiben. "Und so würden langfristig alle davon profitieren", meint Hirth. | 2025-04-28T04:27:55.179000Z | true |

El presidente de EE.UU., Donald Trump, ha anunciado este sábado que la India y Pakistán han alcanzado un acuerdo de alto el fuego. Terminan así las recientes hostilidades por el territorio de Cachemira, foco de tensiones entre ambas potencias que han derivado la última semana en ataques cruzados en este territorio y otros colindantes.
«Después de una larga noche de conversaciones mediadas por los Estados Unidos, tengo el placer de anunciar que la India y Pakistán han acordado un ALTO AL FUEGO TOTAL E INMEDIATO. Felicitaciones a ambos países por utilizar el sentido común y la gran inteligencia. ¡Gracias por su atención a este asunto!», ha sido el mensaje con el que el mandatario ha celebrado el cese de los ataques cruzados.
El ministro de Asuntos Exteriores de Pakistán, Ishaq Dar, ha informado de que el acuerdo de tregua ha entrado en vigor de manera inmediata. Su homólogo indio ha relatado que el acuerdo se ha precipitado a partir de una llamada del director general de Operaciones Militares en Islamabad, con quien se han emplazado para una segunda llamada el 12 de mayo.
Por otra parte, el secretario de Estado de EE.UU., Marco Rubio, ha revelado que tanto el vicepresidente, J.D. Vance, como él se han «entrevistado con altos funcionarios indios y pakistaníes, entre ellos los Primeros Ministros Narendra Modi y Shehbaz Sharif» en las últimas 48 horas. Ambos gobiernos «iniciarán conversaciones sobre un amplio conjunto de cuestiones en un lugar neutral».
La escalada del conflicto entre ambas potencias nucleares provoca el temor a que se desate una guerra
El anuncio se produce horas después de que Pakistán atacara varias bases militares indias en lo que describió como una respuesta a los ataques de India durante los últimos días.
La tensión entre Pakistán e India se ha disparado a raíz de un atentado perpetrado en abril en la Cachemira india y que causó la muerte de 26 civiles, en su mayoría turistas. Tras ello, Nueva Delhi apuntó directamente a Islamabad como responsable y lanzó ataques contra el país vecino, si bien las autoridades paquistaníes se han desvinculado del suceso. | 2025-05-10T12:09:28Z | true |

] | [] | Russische Vorwürfe gegen die Ukraine muss man vorsichtig behandeln. Zu Moskaus Krieg gegen sein Nachbarland gehörten von Beginn an Falschinformationen: Mit der illegalen Annexion der Krim, die Wladimir Putin heute als seine Sternstunde verkauft, wollte dieser zunächst nichts zu tun gehabt haben.
Es folgten diverse Erzählungen zur Ukraine, die das Land diskreditieren sollten. Der Kreml verbreitet bis heute viele längst widerlegte Narrative. Nun erhebt Russland neue Vorwürfe: Nachdem ukrainische Einheiten aus der russischen Region Kursk vertrieben wurden, sollen Hinweise auf Kriegsverbrechen gefunden worden sein.
Die Ukrainer hätten unbewaffnete Zivilpersonen getötet, behaupten die russischen Behörden.
Unabhängige Beobachter nötig
Mögliche Verbrechen gegen die Zivilbevölkerung sind immer ernst zu nehmen. Dazu gehören Untersuchungen durch unabhängige Beobachterinnen und Beobachter.
Doch als das UNO-Menschenrechtsbüro um Zugang zu Kursk bat, wurde es von Russland ignoriert. Eine Einladung der Ukraine, den besetzten Teil von Kursk zu besuchen, musste die UNO ablehnen, weil die Zustimmung Russlands fehlte.
Auch Medien haben bestenfalls begrenzten Zugang zu Kursk. Ein Antrag von Radio SRF, vor Ort recherchieren zu dürfen, verlief im Sand. Mithilfe örtlicher Aktivistinnen und Aktivisten konnte das unabhängige russische Medium «7x7» Berichte einiger ziviler Opfer in Kursk überprüfen und 30 Todesfälle bestätigen.
Bei vielen handelt es sich um ältere, bettlägerige Menschen, die zurückgelassen in evakuierten Dörfern eines natürlichen Todes starben. Andere kamen durch Artilleriebeschuss um – von welcher Seite, ist unklar.
Russische Behörden unterdrücken Informationen
Drei Aktivisten berichteten, die Behörden hätten ihnen verboten, Infos zu den Todesopfern zu veröffentlichen. Stattdessen verbreiten die Staatsmedien ihre Darstellung des angeblichen «Genozids an Russen» in Kursk.
In den Berichten und Zeugenaussagen gibt es jedoch viele Widersprüche, und die Behörden benennen weder Opfer noch deren Todesursache klar. Das UNO-Menschenrechtsbüro gibt an, das vorhandene Material aus der Ferne überprüft zu haben. Bestätigen liessen sich die russischen Vorwürfe dadurch nicht.
Die Behauptungen Russlands dazu, was in Kursk geschah, lassen sich also nicht belegen, aber auch nicht widerlegen. Dem Kreml scheint das recht zu sein. Moskau klagt, die Welt schaue weg, wenn es um russische Opfer gehe. Aber es ist der Kreml selbst, der ein Hinschauen verhindert. Dieses Unrecht an der russischen Zivilbevölkerung in Kursk ist belegt.

The US has a single rare earths mine. Chinese export limits are energizing a push for more | The Independent | https://www.independent.co.uk/news/donald-trump-america-chinese-california-omaha-b2735545.html | [

] | America’s only rare earths mine heard from anxious companies soon after China responded to President Donald Trump’s tariffs this month by limiting exports of those minerals used for military applications and in many high-tech devices.
“Based on the number of phone calls we’re receiving, the effects have been immediate,” said Matt Sloustcher, a spokesperson for MP Materials, the company that runs the Mountain Pass mine in California's Mojave Desert.
The trade war between the world's two biggest economies could lead to a critical shortage of rare earth elements if China maintains its export controls long-term or expands them to seek an advantage in any trade negotiations. The California mine can’t meet all of the U.S. demand for rare earths, which is why Trump is trying to clear the way for new mines.
Rare earth elements are important ingredients in electric vehicles, powerful magnets, advanced fighter jets, submarines, smartphones, television screens and many other products. Despite their name, the 17 elements aren't actually rare, but it's hard to find them in a high enough concentration to make a mine worth the investment.
Tariffs will impact ore supply and costs
MP Materials, which acquired the idle Mountain Pass site in 2017, said Thursday it would stop sending its ore to China for processing because of the export restrictions and 125% tariffs on U.S. imports China imposed. The company said it would continue processing nearly half of what it mines on site and store the rest while it works to expand its processing capability.
“Selling our valuable critical minerals under 125% tariffs is neither commercially rational nor aligned with America's national interests,” MP Materials said in a statement.
Experts say the manufacturers that rely on rare earth elements and other critical minerals will see price increases, but there is likely enough of a global supply available to keep factories operating for now.
The California mine yields neodymium and praseodymium, the light rare earths that are the main components of the permanent rare earth magnets in EVs and wind turbines. But small amounts of some of the heavy rare earths that China has restricted, such as terbium and dysprosium are key to helping the magnets withstand high temperatures.
Already, the price of terbium has jumped 24% since the end of March to reach $933 per kilogram.
“Our estimate suggests that there is enough stockpile in the market to sustain demand for now,” Benchmark Mineral Intelligence rare earths analyst Neha Mukherjee said, adding that shortages may emerge later this year.
China holds power over the market
China has tremendous power over the rare earths market. The country has the biggest mines, producing 270,000 metric tons (297,624 tons) of minerals last year compared to the 45,000 tons (40,823 metric tons) mined in the U.S. China supplies nearly 90% of the world’s rare earths because it also is home to most of the processing capacity.
The restrictions Beijing put in place on April 4 require Chinese exporters of seven heavy rare earths and some magnets to obtain special licenses. The retaliatory controls reinforced what the Trump administration and manufacturers see as a dire need to build additional U.S. mines and reduce the nation's dependence on China.
Trump has tried, so far unsuccessfully, to strong-arm Greenland and Ukraine into providing more of their rare earths and other critical materials to the United States. Last month, he signed an executive order calling for the federal government to streamline permit approvals for new mines and encourage investments in the projects.
Two companies are trying to develop mines in Nebraska and Montana. Officials at NioCorp and U.S. Critical Minerals said they hoped the push from the White House would help them raise money and obtain the necessary approvals to start digging. NioCorp has worked for years to raise $1.1 billion to build a mine in southeast Nebraska.
“As I sit and I think about how can we deal with this enormous leverage that China has over these minerals that nobody even knows how to pronounce for the most part, we have to deal with this leverage situation," NioCorp CEO Mark Smith said. "And the best way, I think, is that we need to make our own heavy rare earths here in the United States. And we can do that."
MP Materials is working to quickly expand its processing capability, partly with the help of some $45 million the company received coming out of the first Trump administration. But after investing nearly $1 billion since 2020, the company doesn't currently have the ability to process the heavy rare earths that China is restricting. MP Materials said it was working expeditiously to change that.
Big U.S. automakers declined to comment about how dependent they are on rare earths and the impact of China's export curbs. Major defense contractors like Boeing and Lockheed Martin, which were specifically targeted in China's restrictions along with more than a dozen other defense and aerospace companies, also remained circumspect.
Military technology is a smaller but important user of rare earths. Trump issued an executive order on Tuesday calling for an investigation into the national security implications of being so reliant on China for the elements.
A spokesperson for Lockheed, which makes the F-22 fighter jet, said the company continuously assesses “the global rare earth supply chain to ensure access to critical materials that support our customers’ missions.”
Manufacturers prepare for price increases
Some battery makers could start to run short of key elements within weeks, according to Steve Christensen, executive director of the Responsible Battery Coalition, an association representing battery and automakers and battery sellers.
Already, manufacturers have seen the price of antimony, an element used to extend the life of traditional lead-acid batteries, more than double since China restricted exports of it last year. The element isn't one of the 17 rare earths but is among the critical minerals that Trump wants to see produced domestically.
Initially, automakers will likely try to absorb any increase in the cost of their batteries without raising vehicle prices, but that may not be sustainable if China's restrictions remain in place, Christensen said. A 25% tariff Trump put on all imported automobiles and auto parts cars already was expected to increase costs, although the president hinted this week that he might give the industry a temporary reprieve.
The U.S. fulfilled its rare earths needs with domestic sources until the late 1990s. Production largely ended after low-cost Chinese ores flooded global markets. Robots, drones and other new technologies have rapidly increased demand for the raw materials.
NioCorp recently signed a contract to do more exploratory drilling on its site this summer to help prove to the Export-Import Bank that enough rare earth minerals rest underground near Elk Creek, Nebraska, to justify an $800 million loan to help finance the project.
But a new rare earths mine is years away from operating in the U.S. NioCorp estimates if all goes well with its fundraising, the site where it hopes to mine and process niobium, scandium, titanium and an assortment of rare earths possibly might be running by the end of Trump’s presidency.
U.S. Critical Minerals plans to dig up several tons of ore in Montana this summer so it can test out processing methods it has been developing. The Sheep Creek project isn't as far along as the Nebraska project, but U.S. Critical Minerals Director Harvey Kaye said the site has promising ore deposits with high concentrations of rare earths. | 2025-04-18T04:22:35Z | true |

Virat Kohli retirement a grave blow for Test cricket | The Telegraph | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2025/05/12/virat-kohli-retirement-grave-blow-test-cricket/ | [

] | In my time involved in the game, stretching back more than 30 years, I don’t believe there is any individual who has done more for the Test format than Virat.
When he took the captaincy just over a decade ago, I was worried India was losing interest in Test cricket. MS Dhoni was one of the great white-ball players but it felt like he captained a Test team that did not love the format. The game needs India to be madly in love with Test cricket, and that is what Virat fostered as captain.
His passion, skill, and the way he talked about Test cricket always being the pinnacle has been a huge shot in the arm for the format. Test cricket would have been a far blander place without him, and there is a chance it would have lost its appeal if he had not been as interested and invested in it.
His retirement now is a blow to Test cricket and very disappointing for fans – not least in England this summer – but my belief is that he has helped forge a love for the format among the generation that will follow him, and kept the flame burning.
Kohli changed so much about Indian Test cricket. He transformed it, really. He made the team more in your face and fearless. The younger Indian players do not take a backward step, and have followed his confrontational, fiery style. His fitness, athleticism and professionalism were an example to his team-mates, and all Indian players are like that now. If the younger generation take even 50 per cent of his dedication and preparation, Indian cricket will be in good stead.
As a batsman, Kohli’s Test peak was absolutely incredible, and he mastered all conditions. He faded a little in recent years as Indian pitches spun more, but was still the prized wicket.It’s impossible to compare across every era, but if you look at since T20 came in around 20 years ago, he is almost certainly the greatest player when you consider all three formats.
I was in Australia over the winter and watched him have a tricky tour, but I still fully expected to see him in England this summer. Kohli struggled at first in England but was unbelievable in 2018 as captain, when he worked a method out and just left the ball. He was so patient for a player with so much attacking skill.
All of his tours of England were up against James Anderson and Stuart Broad so I was really looking forward to seeing him take on a new England attack. His battles with Anderson, not least at Edgbaston in 2018, were magnificent, a great spectacle. It was a proper heavyweight contest, with two world beaters going up against each other. It was so enthralling.
Jimmy often had the wood over Kohli and with him gone, I thought he’d come out and play with a real flamboyancy this summer, and go on the attack. We haven’t seen much of that from him in England, it’s been more about his defensive strength, skill, touch, technique and patience. In other parts of the world he played with unbelievable aggression.
India will miss him. I do wonder if he fancied another crack at the captaincy but wasn’t given that opportunity. I think if he wanted it, I would have given it to him for this tour because there was some unfinished business in England. They would have won that series in 2021 if they had not left because of Covid, and by the time they came back a year later he had stepped down and England were a different side.
For all that I’d love to have seen him carry on, I love the way he’s retired without fanfare or the big farewell game that so many modern players, especially in the subcontinent, get. I think it says a lot about him. Most would expect he would want all the celebration and the ovations, which he would have got at every ground this summer, but instead he has quietly slipped out the backdoor. I’m sure there was some pressure to carry on. All great players have egos, but maybe Virat’s wasn’t quite as big as we thought. Perhaps family life has mellowed him a bit, and he just wants as normal a life as he possibly can, which is probably going to be in London, where he spends a lot of time now. Those outside that bubble really can’t imagine what it’s like being a Kohli or a Sachin Tendulkar, with the pressure of billions of adoring fans on your shoulders.
The England tour signals a new era for India without Kohli, Rohit Sharma or Ravichandran Ashwin. I would think the head coach Gautam Gambhir will be excited to forge a new team under a new captain. It will be a seriously tough tour, but they will have the talent in the team to win, as long as they have that hunger that Kohli always brought. India have reached the final of the World Test Championship twice, but not won it. That will be their long-term target, I have no doubt. The team will not be as star-studded, but look at how well India are doing with a less heralded T20 side. There are players popping up everywhere in India and it may be that given a little time, India reach even greater heights with a new generation.
Shubman Gill is widely tipped to be captain, but I would let him concentrate on making massive scores and leading the batsmen. I look at him and think he is far too good to average 36. Jasprit Bumrah captained the team brilliantly in Perth last year, with young players inspired by him, and he would be my choice, even if he can’t play every game. Gill would be the perfect deputy.
Either way, India will feel a very different team without Kohli in their ranks this summer. They will miss him, and so will the game more widely. | 2025-05-12T13:12:00Z | true |

] | Angry protesters disrupted a Tuesday hearing on Capitol Hill during which Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified about how the agency's 2026 budget aligns with President Donald Trump's agenda.
Kennedy did not even finish his opening statement when multiple protesters disrupted his testimony, yelling that the HHS secretary is killing people "with hate."
"RFK kills people with hate!" a protester blurted out, startling Kennedy, who quickly turned behind him to see where the commotion was coming from. "RFK kills people with hate!" the chant continued, with more voices joining in. "RFK kills people with hate!"
Multiple people were eventually escorted out of the room, during which the chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., paused the hearing.
"Members of the audience are reminded disruptions will not be permitted while the committee conducts its business. Capitol Police are asked to remove the individuals from the hearing room," Cassidy said amid the commotion.
"That was a made-for-C-SPAN moment," Cassidy quipped after things settled down.
The Wednesday hearing with the Senate HELP Committee came a few weeks after HHS released its budget for fiscal year 2026. Kennedy was testifying to share how the budget aligns with Trump's priorities.
"When my team and I took the helm at HHS we set out with clear goals," Kennedy said shortly before he was interrupted.
"First, we aim to make America healthy again with a special focus on the chronic disease epidemic. Second, we committed to delivering more efficient, responsive, and effective service to over 100 million Americans who rely on Medicare, Medicaid and other programs. Third, we focus on achieving these goals by cutting costs for taxpayers and intend to do more – a lot more – with less." | 2025-05-14T19:34:53Z | false |

YUNUS HOCAOĞLU - Kar, kış, yağmur, çamur demeden her maçta takımını destekleyen Trendyol 1. Lig ekibi Erzurumspor FK taraftarı, Süper Lig hedefi için kenetlendi.
Sezon başındaki transfer yasağı başta olmak üzere yaşadığı sıkıntılara rağmen ligde başarılı mücadelesini sürdüren mavi-beyazlı ekip, zirve yarışını devam ettirdi.
Kazım Karabekir Stadı'nın 6 Şubat 2023'teki depremlerde hasar görmesi nedeniyle sadece kale arkası tribünleri kullanabilen Erzurumspor FK'de taraftarlar, kış koşullarının çetin geçtiği kentte tüm olumsuz şartlara rağmen takımlarını yalnız bırakmadı.
Erzurumspor FK, son 3 haftası oynanacak ligde 58 puanla 4. sırada yer alıyor.
- Yeniden Süper Lig'e çıkma hesapları yapılıyor
Kocaelispor'un şampiyonluğu garantilediği ligde ikinci sıradaki Solwie Energy Fatih Karagümrük'ün 2, üçüncü Gençlerbirliği'nin ise 1 puan gerisinde bulunan Erzurumspor FK'nin taraftarı, takımlarının Süper Lig'e çıkacağına inanıyor.
1. Lig'de 2017-2018 sezonunu 5. sırada tamamlayan mavi-beyazlı ekip, play-off finalinde penaltı atışlarıyla Gazişehir Gaziantep'e üstünlük kurarak Erzurum'un 17 yıllık Süper Lig hasretine son vermişti.
Süper Lig'de tutunamayan ve 2018-2019 sezonu sonunda yeniden 1. Lig'e düşen Erzurum temsilcisi, 2019-2020'de ligi ikinci sırada tamamlayıp yeniden Süper Lig'e çıktı. Bir kez daha tutunamadığı ligden düşen mavi-beyazlı ekipte, yeniden Süper Lig'e dönmenin hesapları yapılıyor.
- "Liderlik konumu oldu, düşüş yaşadık"
Dadaşlar Taraftar Grubu Genel Koordinatörü Tevhit Ergin, AA muhabirine, 1. Lig'in son haftalarının büyük heyecana sahne olduğunu söyledi.
Mavi-beyazlı takımın ligde farklı konumlara geldiğini ifade eden Ergin, şöyle konuştu:
"Erzurumspor'un liderlik konumu oldu, düşüş yaşadık, fikstür avantajını kullanamadık. Son haftalara girince Süper Lig'e çıkma şansımız çok fazlaydı. İstanbulspor maçındaki hakem olayına değinmeden geçmek abes olur. Aslında buraya gelen hakemlere brifing verilmeli. Sadece Erzurum için değil Anadolu'daki tüm takımlar için art niyetli gelmemeleri noktasında brifing verilmeli. İstanbulspor maçına gelen İzmir bölgesi hakemi artık kafasında ne kurgulamışsa VAR ile iletişim kurulamadı."
Hakemlerin hak gözeterek adil maç yönetmesini isteyen Ergin, "9 puan alırsak direk final oynarız. Erzurumspor'un hedefi her zaman şampiyonluktur. Bu şehrin ruhunda şampiyonluk var diyoruz. Bu takımın play-off'ta üst lige çıkacağına herkesten çok inanıyorum. " diye konuştu.
- "Bu şehir gerçekten Süper Lig'i hak ediyor"
Erzurumsporlular Taraftar Grubu Lideri Kürşat Çetin de her zaman takımlarına sahip çıkacaklarını anlattı.
Son oynanan İstanbulspor maçına hakem hatalarının damga vurduğunu savunan Çetin, şunları kaydetti:
"Taraftar ve camia olarak takımımıza sahip çıkmamız lazım. Artık işin finaline geldik, şampiyon olamasak da bu işin play-off'ları var. Hiçbir şeyin bittiği yok. İki kez başardığımız play-off'ların üçüncüsü neden olmasın. Bu şehir bunu kaldıracak güçte. Önemli olan herkesin bu takıma el atması. Bu şehir gerçekten Süper Lig'i hak ediyor."
Çetin, her türlü zorlukta takımlarının yanında olduklarını vurgulayarak, "Soğuk havalarda maçlara gittik ve taraftar üzerine düşeni her zaman yapıyor, yine yapar. Bu şartlarda son düzlüğe geldiğimizde önümüze çıkan bu etmenler, ister istemez umutsuzluğa itti. Federasyon da artık gereken önlemleri almalı. Biz her sene hakem hatalarından dolayı aynı problemleri yaşamak istemiyoruz. Biz o dönemlerden geldiysek bundan sonra da Süper Lig'e gideceğimize inanıyoruz." değerlendirmesinde bulundu.

] | President Donald Trump weighed in on the birthright citizenship case being argued in front of the Supreme Court Thursday, insisting the law originally was intended to benefit the descendants of slaves, not illegal immigrants.
"Birthright Citizenship was not meant for people taking vacations to become permanent Citizens of the United States of America, and bringing their families with them, all the time laughing at the ‘SUCKERS’ that we are!" Trump wrote in a post Thursday morning on his Truth Social platform as the arguments were being heard. "The United States of America is the only Country in the World that does this, for what reason, nobody knows — But the drug cartels love it!"
Trump added that birthright citizenship, which was adopted as a constitutional amendment in 1868, was primarily intended to benefit the babies of slaves.
"It had nothing to do with Illegal Immigration for people wanting to SCAM our Country, from all parts of the World, which they have done for many years," Trump said in his post. "It had to do with Civil War results, and the babies of slaves who our politicians felt, correctly, needed protection. Please explain this to the Supreme Court of the United States."
Trump cited the birthright citizenship issue as "yet another point that leads to the dysfunction of America."
"We are, for the sake of being politically correct, a STUPID Country but, in actuality, this is the exact opposite of being politically correct, and it is yet another point that leads to the dysfunction of America.
While the case being heard Thursday resulted from disputes against the president's effort to end birthright citizenship, the issue of whether it is permissible for lower courts to permanently block Trump's executive actions will hinge on the justices' decision.
Through universal injunctions, lower federal courts can bar authorities from enforcing a Trump executive order.
It is unclear when the justices' final ruling will come out. It could take weeks or it could take just several hours if they decide to issue an emergency ruling. | 2025-05-15T18:26:03Z | false |

Dana dili aynı zamanda, düşük yağ içeriği ve yüksek kolajen oranı sayesinde cilt sağlığını da olumlu yönde etkiler. Kolajen, cildin elastikiyetini artırarak yaşlanma belirtilerini geciktirir, ciltteki kırışıklıkların görünümünü azaltır. Bu nedenle, düzenli olarak dana dili tüketmek, cilt güzelliğini destekler. Dana dilinde bulunan glisin ve prolin amino asitleri, eklem sağlığını iyileştirir ve iltihaplanmayı azaltır, bu da eklem ağrıları ve romatizma gibi durumlarla mücadeleye yardımcı olabilir. Tüm bu faydalarıyla bağışıklık sistemini güçlendiren, cilt ve eklem sağlığını destekleyen, enerji veren ve genel vücut fonksiyonlarını iyileştiren besleyici bir gıda olarak, dengeli bir diyette yer alması gereken bir öğedir.
DANA DİLİ NASIL PİŞİRİLİR?
Dana dili pişirme tekniği, sabır ve doğru teknikler gerektiren bir işlemdir, çünkü dana dili sert bir et parçasıdır ve lezzetini ortaya çıkarmak için uzun süre pişirilmesi gerekir. Genellikle dana dili, haşlama yöntemiyle pişirilir, ancak farklı pişirme teknikleriyle de hazırlanabilir. İlk adım olarak, dana dilini temizlemek gerekir. Önce dilin üzerindeki zarlar ve kirler temizlenmeli, dilin üstündeki ince deri soyulmalıdır. Bu işlem, dana dilinin daha yumuşak ve lezzetli olmasını sağlar. Ardından, dana dilini büyük bir tencereye yerleştirip üzerini geçecek kadar su eklemelisiniz. Suya lezzet katmak için birkaç diş sarımsak, soğan, havuç, defne yaprağı, karabiber ve tuz ekleyebilirsiniz. Bu aromatik malzemeler, etin pişerken zenginleşmesini sağlar.
Dana dili, orta ateşte yaklaşık 2-3 saat boyunca haşlanmalıdır. Pişirme süresi, etin büyüklüğüne ve sertliğine bağlı olarak değişebilir. Bu süreçte, etin yumuşaması ve suyunun yoğunlaşması sağlanır. Dana dili haşlandıktan sonra, üzerine biraz tereyağı sürerek, etin daha yumuşak olmasını ve daha parlak görünmesini sağlayabilirsiniz. Haşlanan dana dili, dilimlenip sıcak servis edilebilir. Dilin yumuşak dokusunu korumak için sıcak suyun içinde dinlendirilmesi de faydalıdır.
Alternatif olarak, dana dilini fırında da pişirebilirsiniz. Haşlama işlemi tamamlandıktan sonra, dilin üzerine zeytinyağı, sarımsak, kekik, biberiye gibi baharatlar ekleyip fırında birkaç dakika daha pişirebilirsiniz. Bu, etin dışını hafifçe çıtırlaştırırken iç kısmının yumuşak kalmasını sağlar. Dana dili, soslarla da servis edilebilir. Özellikle mantar sosu veya soğanlı sos, dana dilinin lezzetini daha da derinleştirir.
Dana dili, zengin ve doyurucu bir et olduğu için yanında hafif ve dengeleyici garnitürlerle servis edilmesi lezzetini tam anlamıyla ortaya çıkarır. Sıcak ve hafif asidik salatalar, dana dilinin zenginliğini dengeleyerek harika bir uyum sağlar. Karışık yeşillikler, domates, salatalık ve zeytinyağı, limon suyu ile yapılmış basit bir salata, dana dilinin yanında çok iyi gider. Kremalı ya da yoğurtlu soslarla hazırlanmış sebzeler de dana diliyle mükemmel bir uyum yakalar. Örneğin, fırında pişmiş patates, dana dilinin yanına ideal bir garnitür olabilir, çünkü hem lezzet olarak tamamlar hem de doyuruculuğu artırır.
Dana dilinin yanında, taze ekmek veya çıtır ekmek dilimleri de oldukça iyi gider; bu ekmekler, etin sulu yapısıyla birleşerek harika bir tat oluşturur. Servis edilecek pilav veya kuskus gibi yan ürünler, hem lezzet hem de enerji açısından yemeği tamamlar. Baharatlı pilav, kimyon veya kişniş gibi baharatlarla tatlandırıldığında, dana dilinin lezzetini daha da zenginleştirebilir. Bunun dışında, soğanlı veya mantarlı garnitürler de dana dilinin yanına harika bir eşlikçi olabilir. Hafif asidik bir içki olan beyaz şarap ya da ayran gibi ferahlatıcı içecekler, dana dilinin yanında iyi gider, yemeği daha da keyifli hale getirir.
DANA DİLİ PİŞİRMENİN PÜF NOKTASI
Dana dili pişirme yönteminde, etin yumuşak ve lezzetli olmasını sağlamak için birkaç püf noktasına dikkat edilmesi gereklidir. İlk olarak, dana dilinin doğru şekilde temizlenmesi çok önemlidir. Dilin üzerindeki zarların ve deri tabakasının dikkatlice soyulması gerekir. Bu işlem, etin daha yumuşak olmasını sağlar ve pişirme sırasında fazla sertleşmesini engeller. Ayrıca, dana dili haşlanacaksa, etin iyice temizlenmesi, pişme sırasında etin üzerinde istenmeyen lezzetlerin kalmaması için oldukça kritiktir.
Dana dilini pişirmeye başlamadan önce, bir tencerede bol miktarda su kaynatın ve suya soğan, sarımsak, defne yaprağı, karabiber, tuz gibi aromatik malzemeler ekleyin. Bu baharatlar, etin pişerken lezzetini zenginleştirir. Dana dili pişirirken, suyun kaynamaya başlamasından sonra ısısını orta seviyeye indirmeniz gerekir, çünkü kaynar su dilin yüzeyini hızlıca sertleştirebilir. Dana dilini düşük ısıda, sabırla ve uzun süre pişirerek yumuşatmak gerekir; bu işlem genellikle 2-3 saat sürebilir. Pişirme sırasında ara ara köpük birikmesini almanız, etin lezzetini daha temiz tutacaktır.
Haşlama işlemi tamamlandıktan sonra, dana dilini çıkarıp dinlendirmek gerekir. Etin sıcak suyun içinde bir süre dinlenmesi, daha homojen bir dokunun oluşmasına yardımcı olur. Ayrıca, dana dilinin üzerine tereyağı sürmek, etin yumuşaklığını artırırken, dışının parlak ve lezzetli olmasını sağlar. Eğer dana dilini fırınlayacaksanız, haşlama işleminden sonra üzerine baharatlar ve zeytinyağı sürüp, fırında 10-15 dakika kadar pişirerek dışını çıtır hale getirebilirsiniz. Bu teknik, dana dilinin hem içinin hem de dışının dengeli şekilde pişmesini sağlar.
Ek olarak, dana dili tarifinde sabırlı olmak çok önemlidir. Etin yavaşça pişmesi, lezzetinin tam anlamıyla ortaya çıkmasına ve etin daha yumuşak olmasına yardımcı olur. Pişirme süresine dikkat edilmesi, etin sertleşmesini engeller ve dana dilinin en iyi şekilde hazırlanmasını sağlar. | 2025-04-30T08:42:53Z | true |
Archäologen dachten, sie hätten ein Teil alter landwirtschaftlicher Ausrüstung gefunden. Es entpuppte sich als seltener Wagenreifen aus der Eisenzeit | Gamestar | https://www.gamestar.de/artikel/archaeologen-wagenrad,3432348.html | [

Bei den Vorbereitungen für den Bau eines neuen Golfplatzes in der Nähe von Inverness in Schottland wurde kürzlich ein ganz besonderer Fund gemacht, wie die BBC berichtet.
Was die Archäologen vor Ort zunächst für ein vergleichsweise junges Objekt hielten, das für die landwirtschaftliche Arbeit genutzt wurde, handelt es sich tatsächlich um eine seltene Radkonstruktion aus der Eisenzeit (1.200 vor Christus bis 550 nach Christus).
Auch interessant: Warum in den USA tonnenweise schwarze Bälle in ein Wasserbecken gefüllt wurden
Wo genau es gefunden wurde: Beim Ort der Entdeckung handelte es sich damals wohl um einen sogenannten Palisadenkreis zum Abhalten von Zeremonien, der zu seiner Zeit vermutlich von einem Holzzaun umgeben wurde.
Das Radteil war dort zusammen mit menschlichen Überresten, Keramik und Tierkadavern begraben.
Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass sich zunächst auch das zweite Rad dort befand. Es wurde aber wohl zwischenzeitlich wieder ausgegraben.
Was das Radteil so besonders macht
Laut dem Smithsonian Magazine handelt es sich bei dem Rad um den Teil einer Konstruktion, die nur von einem sehr guten Schmied erledigt werden konnte.
Eine Fertigung, die nicht nur vergleichsweise aufwendig war, sondern auch extrem teuer, so das Smithosian Magazine.
Daher vermutet Andy Young auch, dass die dort begrabene Person sehr wichtig war, beispielsweise ein Häuptling.
Was dort noch alles entdeckt wurde
Zu den weiteren Funden vor Ort gehören eine Urne aus der Bronzezeit mit einem Alter von 3.500 Jahren, Werkzeuge für Feuersteine und mindestens 25 Holzgebäude aus der Jungsteinzeit.
Außerdem fand man Hinweise auf mittelalterliche Felssysteme und Getreidetrocknungsöfen. Damit reicht die zeitliche Bandbreite der verschiedenen Funde von etwa 6.000 Jahren vor Christus bis hin zum Mittelalter.
Eine genaue Radiokarbonanalyse der gefundenen Objekte steht noch aus. Anschließend werden viele von ihnen an Museen in Edinburgh und Inverness gespendet. | 2025-05-04T19:46:00Z | true |

El Oratorio de la Casa de la Villa vuelve a lucir tal y como se recordaba hace más de 300 años. El misterio de la Inmaculada Concepción de la Virgen María, junto a los rostros de Felipe III y Felipe IV y Carlos II, entre otras referencias a la Monarquía y la Villa de Madrid de la época, y representados a través de pasajes de la vida de Santa María de la Cabeza y San Isidro Labrador recuperan la esencia creada por el pintor Antonio de Palomino.
Este tesoro artístico de la capital abre sus puertas el sábado al público tras décadas oculto y sometido a múltiples transformaciones. La última restauración, promovida por la Dirección General de Patrimonio Cultural y Paisaje Urbano del Ayuntamiento de Madrid y que ha contado con una inversión de 241.000 euros, ha permitido que esta obra barroca forme parte del programa cultural de la capital y esté a disposición de tanto madrileños como de turistas que deseen descubrirlo.
«Este espacio ha necesitado de muchas restauraciones y no todas fueron demasiado cuidadosas con el original y, por lo tanto, lo que se ha buscado es esencialmente volver a la esencia de esos frescos maravillosos que tenemos la oportunidad de disfrutar en Madrid», ha asegurado este martes la vicealcaldesa de Madrid, Inma Sanz, acompañada de la delegada de Cultura, Turismo y Deporte, Marta Rivera de la Cruz, en la presentación del resultado de los trabajos que han tenido lugar en el antiguo ayuntamiento de la capital.
Los trabajos multidisciplinares iniciados el pasado mayo se extenderán durante nueve meses, y el objetivo es devolver el brillo original a los frescos del pintor Antonio Palomino
El origen de la intervención se encuentra en el estado de conservación de parte de la decoración mural, especialmente en la zona afectada por una filtración desde los espacios superiores que dañó gravemente la representación de Santa María de la Cabeza. A ello se sumaron los daños que provocaron los repintes, pátinas y protecciones de anteriores actuaciones que oscurecían y distorsionaban la obra original que data de 1696.
Así, desde el siglo XVIII, estas instalaciones han sido objeto de diversas intervenciones realizadas por pintores y decoradores que, en muchos casos, carecían de conocimiento técnico suficiente para abordar frescos de tal complejidad. La apertura de nuevas puertas, el uso de lienzos añadidos y las redecoraciones de baja calidad provocaron la pérdida parcial de la iconografía y de los materiales originales.
Sin embargo, la enésima reforma de este inmueble –que además es Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC)– ha contado por primera vez con un trabajo previo de documentación gráfica y tridimensional, que han permitido recoger datos a través de un láser escáner y una cámara con sensores RGB. Éstos transfieren información en tiempo real a sendos ordenadores y han facilitado que se vieran las primeras recreaciones en tres dimensiones con todo lujo de detalles.
Tras esta labor técnica que ha apoyado los trabajos de esta restauración – cuyo proyecto fue redactado por el Instituto del Patrimonio Cultural de España (Ministerio de Cultura) a petición del Ayuntamiento de Madrid– ha incluido la limpieza de la superficie pictórica, la consolidación estructural del soporte mural, la sujeción de capas desprendidas, la eliminación de sales, la reintegración de morteros y la recuperación cromática de las escenas deterioradas.
Los renovados frescos podrán visitarse desde este sábado 10 de mayo hasta el próximo 6 de julio. En total, el Área de Cultura, Turismo y Deportes ha programado 162 visitas guiadas gratuitas con aproximadamente 4.000 plazas en horario ininterrumpido de 10.00 a 19.00 horas, en grupos de 25 personas y con una duración aproximada de 45 minutos.
Esto permitirá a los visitantes redescubrir no solo un conjunto pictórico barroco de los más emblemáticos del patrimonio municipal, sino también conocer de primera mano la complejidad de la intervención a la que ha sido sometido este espacio situado bajo la antigua Torre del Reloj. | 2025-05-07T06:32:30Z | true |

] | Police have launched an investigation after two superbike riders died in a “chain reaction” collision during a championship race.
Eleven riders fell at the first corner of the Quattro Group British Supersport Championship at Oulton Park, Cheshire, on Monday afternoon.
Owen Jenner, 21, and Shane Richardson, 29, were both treated trackside but later died, organisers MotorSport Vision Racing said.
It said a third rider, Tom Tunstall, 47, sustained “significant injuries”.
The competition was stopped immediately and medical services were deployed.
Rider number 86, Mr Jenner, was taken to the circuit medical centre and given further resuscitation treatment but died from a “catastrophic head injury”, the organisers said.
Mr Richardson, number 28, was taken to the medical centre with “severe chest injuries” and later died while he was being transferred to Royal Stoke University Hospital, they added.
Meanwhile, Mr Tunstall was treated on the track and then taken to the medical centre before being transferred to Royal Stoke University Hospital with “significant back and abdominal injuries”.
The organisers said another five riders were treated in the medical centre with minor injuries, but did not need to be transferred to hospital.
Superbikes are highly-modified vehicles and BSB said they are “both quick and powerful” – with engines going up to 200bhp (brake horsepower).
Mr Jenner became the 2024 British GP2 champion and was signed to Rapid Honda.
The British superbike team said the rider is from Crowborough, East Sussex, and won the GP2 title with 18 wins out of 20 race finishes.
It added: “Owen has impressed us all at Rapid Honda over recent seasons and his career is on a clear ascendancy.
“He should be a title challenger in British Supersport in 2025.”
New Zealand superbike racer Mr Richardson was in the Astro JJR HIPPO Suzuki team sponsored by Hippo waste removal service.
Hippo announced it had renewed its partnership with Mr Richardson in April this year and published a statement from the rider who they said had transitioned from “crafting bespoke kitchens to competing on the UK’s premier racing circuits”.
Describing his 2024 season, Mr Richardson said: “We had some good moments along the way, but also our fair share of struggles… but I’m proud of how the Astro JJR HIPPO Suzuki team and I worked throughout the season to make the most of every moment”.
Cheshire Police said: “Police are investigating two deaths on behalf of the coroner following a multiple collision at Oulton Park this afternoon.
“Emergency services were called to the scene following the collision which resulted in two riders being fatally injured and another with serious injuries.
“The Motorcycle Circuit Racing Control Board and MotorSport Vision Racing are investigating the full circumstances of the incident in conjunction with the Coroner and Cheshire Police.” | 2025-05-05T22:01:52Z | true |

Are salmon sperm facials really good for your skin? | Los Angeles Times | https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2025-05-14/salmon-sperm-facial-dna-good-for-skin | [
"Maddie Connors"
] | [] | Just when it seemed that the skincare industry had exhausted itself with absurd products and cyborgian procedures, Kim Kardashian brought a new one into the cultural consciousness. In the summer of 2024, Kim Kardashian announced on “The Kardashians” that she had salmon sperm injected into her face, spurring reactions of glee and intrigue that echoed from Rodeo Drive to TikTok.
Salmon sperm facials — which are sometimes called salmon DNA facials for civility’s sake — have become the latest addition to med spa menus across Los Angeles. Formula Fig in Culver City and West Hollywood recently added what is called “the longevity treatment,” which is its take on the popular facial, for $550. Done by Dorfman, a Beverly Hills-based med spa that boasts a celebrity client list, offers the procedure for $750. Kanodia Med Spa, also Beverly Hills-based, offers the facials starting at $1,000.
The procedure is performed through microneedling, which forms channels in the skin before the product is applied topically to the face. Using salmon DNA as an injectable is not yet FDA-approved, so doctors and med spas apply it in conjunction with microneedling and laser treatments. (The substance itself carries an orange-ish tint.) The procedure promises youthful, smooth skin and has been rapidly gaining popularity, thanks partly to endorsements on social media and by celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Charli XCX.
The idea to use salmon sperm for regeneration is older than you might think. The study of salmon DNA for wound healing was originally pioneered in Italy in the 1980s, said Dr. Zakia Rahman, a clinical professor at Stanford’s School of Dermatology. In the last few years, there has been a resurgence of scientific interest in the substance as a beauty treatment in Korea.
In fact, many doctors source salmon DNA from there. Dr. Donald Yoo, a facial plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, uses a substance called Rejuran, which is procured from one ocean-side factory in a beachfront town in Gangneung, Korea. In October of last year, he visited the factory during the salmon spawning season to witness the extraction process, which kills the salmon as the DNA is removed.
“During the tour, they showed us the streams where the salmon were captured, the factory where they process the salmon DNA, and actually had us handle some of the live salmon prior to processing,” he says.
Dr. Yoo argues that the uncanniness of salmon sperm is what has made the procedure so popular. His office in Beverly Hills offers the treatment for a starting price of $850.
“There’s a little bit of that shock factor involved,” says Dr. Yoo. “The reason that it’s growing is the fact that science has given it a good, strong basis.”
What basis is that? It begins with polynucleotides, which are fragments of DNA derived from salmon sperm. They were previously used in wound healing after clinical studies showed that they accelerated the tissue repair process. Salmon DNA, as it turns out, shares striking similarities with human DNA, causing it to stimulate collagen production, according to a 2022 peer-reviewed study in the journal Marine Drugs.
“It decreases inflammation,” says Dr. Yoo. “It promotes cell proliferation and blood vessel proliferation.”
When applied to the face, it can result in a soft, radiant, even-toned complexion. For years, scientists in Europe and South Korea have performed clinical studies of salmon DNA on skin to investigate its effect on collagen reproduction. One study conducted on wound healing in mice showed that administering polynucleotides expedited healing and collagen density.
However, despite the growing interest in this treatment, Dr. Rahman is not convinced of its efficacy.
“You have to be careful before jumping on a trend to see if it’s scientifically valid,” said Dr. Rahman.
After reviewing the scientific research, she explains that because of how the nucleotides function on the cell level, they can potentially be harmful to patients with rosacea and can actually cause some inflammation within the cells.
She notes that, when it comes to absorption, polynucleotides are also relatively large, as opposed to more commonly used skin treatment ingredients like retinoids and vitamin C.
“The reason why retinoids and vitamin C work so well is that they’re very small and they can penetrate the skin,” says Dr. Rahman. “So this, if you were just to apply it topically, probably wouldn’t get absorbed.”
From a scientific perspective, it’s not clear that salmon DNA has the potential benefits that are advertised, she said, adding that established methods still yield the best results.
“If you’re using a topical retinoid or topical vitamin C, they’re much less expensive,” she says. “A lot of the laser treatments that we do, which are FDA-cleared for things like collagen stimulation and resurfacing of the skin, are actually much more cost-effective.”
She also has sustainability concerns. After all, salmon sperm is finite.
“Do we really want to kill more salmon for their gonads?” she asks.
Nevertheless, the trend has become widespread in Europe and South Korea, and in the last year, it has developed a loyal fan base in the U.S. On Instagram, the hashtag #salmonspermfacial has over 5,000 posts featuring before-and-after photos. On TikTok, viral testimonials about salmon DNA facials rack up hundreds of thousands of likes.
Jorian Palos discovered salmon DNA facials after searching for a way to lessen her eye bags and discoloration. She tried the treatment at a med spa chain called Skin Station in Orange County. She said the process was slightly disquieting.
“It was painful, just because it’s salmon semen essentially going under your eye.”
Though she was happy with her results, the recovery was also intense.
“My face was bruised under my eyes for about a week,” she said. “It turned purple, and then it turned yellow.”
Shirel Swissa did not have as an intense recovery. She routinely microneedles and vouches for the treatment.
“Right now, my skin is the smoothest and clearest it’s been in forever,” she says. “There’s no texture. It also helps with my active acne.”
As for the sperm element, Swissa is unbothered: “It smells a tiny bit fishy. It’s not overpowering, but it’s tolerable.”
Dr. Yoo says it’s good to be skeptical of the latest health trend, but predicts that, based on the results he’s seen, salmon sperm facials will stick around.
“It’s an exploding field,” he said.

Berlin taz | „Wo gibt’s denn hier noch Nazis in Deutschland?“, empörte sich eine ältere Frau mit einem blauen Friedenstauben-Pappschild im Fahrradkorb, als sie am Samstag die antifaschistische Kundgebung an der Rathausstraße in Mitte passierte. Dazu brauchte sie doch bloß auf die andere Seite des Roten Rathauses zu gehen: Dort versammelten sich rund 300 Neonazis und Querdenker*innen zum Aufmarsch des neuen Bündnisses „Gemeinsam für Deutschland“, das an diesem 26. April zeitgleich in allen 16 Bundesländern demonstrieren wollte.
Der Aufmarsch, zu dem eigentlich 3.500 Menschen angemeldet waren, forderte Grenzkontrollen, Meinungsfreiheit, Bevölkerungsschutz usw. Doch die Teilnehmer*innen, laut dem ehemaligen AfD-Bundestagsabgeordneten Robert Farle „alles vernünftige Menschen“, waren überwiegend organisierte Jungnazis. Das Bündnis war bereits zwei Monate zuvor weitgehend unbemerkt von der Öffentlichkeit durch Mitte gezogen. Während damals blaue Fahnen mit Friedenstauben dominierten, waren diesmal vor allem Deutschlandfahnen zu sehen.
Unter dem Motto „Que(e)rstellen“ protestierten etwa 500 Menschen mit „Alerta Antifascista“-Rufen lautstark gegen den rechten Spuk. Die Polizei war mit 500 Beamt*innen im Einsatz und ließ wenig anbrennen.
Die Demoroute war weiträumig mit Polizeigittern abgesperrt und nachdem sich der rechte Aufmarsch in Bewegung gesetzt hatte, verlief die antifaschistische Demo außer Hör- und Sichtweite der Nazis zum Potsdamer Platz.
Nach 700 Metern wurde die Nazidemo gestoppt
Angeführt von einigen Jungnazis mit Ordner-Armbinde folgten rund 200 junge, aktionsorientierte Rechtsextreme, sie trugen Shirts mit der Aufschrift „Deutsche Jungs“ oder „Ruhm und Ehre“, zeigten den White-Power-Gruß und laut Polizeiangaben auch den Hitlergruß und riefen aggressive Parolen. Dahinter trotteten 80–100 ältere Rechte, Querdenker*innen, orthodoxe Friedensfreund*innen und etwas verwahrlost wirkende Deutschtümler. Auch die empörte ältere Frau mit ihrer AfD-blauen Papptaube war dabei.
Doch nach gerade einmal 700 Metern wurde die Nazidemo gestoppt; am Spittelmarkt war es zunächst 20 jungen Antifas gelungen, sich direkt an die Demoroute zu setzen. Nach und nach versammelten sich hier rund 100 Antifaschist*innen, umgeben von etwa ebenso vielen behelmten Polizist*innen. Nach einem weiteren Blockadeversuch wurde die Polizei rabiat, Polizeihunde tauchten plötzlich auf, es gab Festnahmen und mindestens einen verletzten Demonstranten. Insgesamt meldete die Polizei 32 Festnahmen auf beiden Seiten.
Anschließend setzte sich der rechte Aufmarsch wieder in Bewegung, die Nazis gebärdeten sich zunehmend aggressiv gegen die nur noch wenigen Dutzend Antifas, die den Zug begleiteten, die meisten waren unterwegs von Polizeiketten abgedrängt worden.
Doch am Leipziger Platz war für die Nazis ihr Aufmarsch zu Ende, ihnen wurde es verwehrt, wieder zurück zum Ausgangsort zu marschieren. Während die Teilnehmer*innen der Gegenkundgebung am Potsdamer Platz noch „Nazis raus“ riefen, befanden sich diese schon im U-Bahnhof. | 2025-04-27T13:35:00Z | true |

] | MAY 1 — Starting today, the Ministry of Health made it official: drug prices must now be publicly displayed in every private hospital and GP clinic.
It was introduced under the banner of “transparency” — a word that sounds noble, but in this case, serves more as a curtain than a window.
Stakeholders were consulted. Concerns were acknowledged. Realities were made plain. And yet, the directive moved forward — untouched by reason, unmoved by nuance, as if the entire process had been theatre from the start.
Let’s be clear: private providers are not against transparency.
But listing the price of a tablet in isolation — stripped of the cost structures, operational demands, and regulatory burdens surrounding it — doesn’t make healthcare more affordable. It just makes it easier to blame.
A drug’s price carries more than its chemical compound. It carries the cost of keeping it stocked, the pharmacist who dispenses it, the refrigeration that preserves it, the system that logs, tracks, documents, and ensures its given safely. It carries the weight of readiness.
In clinics, where consultation fees have remained capped for decades, GPs are expected to absorb rising operational costs — rent, salaries, waste disposal, digital systems — with little room to adjust.
Specialists are often paid less than what some spend on aesthetic services, yet shoulder far greater risk, accountability, and compliance obligations.
So those costs are recovered where they can be — often through medication margins. Not for profit, but for survival.
We made this clear. We warned that isolating one number without rethinking the structure would simply shift the cost elsewhere — unseen, but no less essential.
Still, the directive moved forward.
And perhaps that reveals the larger truth: that the system’s safety net is wearing thin.
Public hospitals — meant to be the front line of affordable care — are overstretched and under-resourced. And when they fail to absorb the pressure, the private sector becomes the fallback. And then the target.
Instead of fortifying the institutions meant to carry the load, we shine the spotlight on those catching the fallout — as if regulation can substitute for responsibility.
If this is truly about empowering patients, then let’s start where it matters: by strengthening the public hospitals and clinics meant to protect them. Because when that net frays, what follows isn’t reform. It’s blame redistribution.
Transparency should illuminate the architecture of care — not just the corner most convenient to politicise.
Because without that, this isn’t transparency. It’s theatre.
And in theatre, the audience may applaud the simplicity of the scene but those behind the curtain know what it really costs to hold it together. | 2025-05-01T04:40:50Z | true |

] | BUTTERWORTH, May 12 — Malaysia should seize the opportunity of its Asean Chairmanship in 2025 to expand the market for halal products and penetrate the Asean market, which comprises a population of 600 million, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamid.
He said that although halal products from Indonesia and Thailand are marketed in Malaysia, local halal products have yet to penetrate the Asean market due to insufficient marketing efforts.
“Since 600 million is a realistically large market for Malaysian halal products, the efforts by the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (Matrade) are geared towards expanding the market among Asean countries,” he said.
He was speaking to reporters after launching the Penang Halal Industry Development Council here today, which was also attended by Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow and Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) Chairman Datuk Seri Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki.
As such, Ahmad Zahid, who is also Malaysian Halal Industry Development Council chairman, proposed the establishment of an Asean Halal Council and the organisation of an Asean Halal Forum this September.
He said the Malaysia International Halal Showcase (MIHAS) will also feature halal products and invite Asean industry players for ‘business matching’ with potential importers.
In addition, he said Malaysia is also collaborating to expand the production of halal gelatine-which currently has only one producer in the country-for both Asean and international markets, as existing gelatine products lack the proper standards required for other halal products.
“This includes sectors such as medicine, cosmetics, and others, because we tend to focus only on the food and beverage (F&B) service sector, when in fact, other sectors hold vast market potential and should be further developed,” he said.
Meanwhile, Ahmad Zahid noted that Malaysia possesses a comprehensive halal ecosystem, including halal certification recognised by 92 foreign halal certification bodies from 48 countries.
At the same time, he congratulated Penang for becoming the first state in Malaysia to establish a Halal Industry Development Council.
Malaysia continues to lead the global halal industry, recording exports valued at RM61.79 billion in 2024, a 15 per cent increase from 2023, and maintaining the number one position in the Global Islamic Economy Index for ten consecutive years. — Bernama | 2025-05-12T12:10:57Z | true |

Recibido al son de 'I will survive', Francisco Camps ha efectuado su entrada triunfal en el edificio Veles i Vents de la Marina de València, donde cientos de militantes del Partido Popular le han recibido al grito de ¡presidente! en la culminación de una 'larga marcha' de almuerzos, presentaciones de libros y encuentros en los que el expresident de la Generalitat Valenciana -exculpado en los juicios que le apartaron del cargo- ha reivindicado su derecho y su deseo de retornar a la primera línea política en las filas del Partido Popular. Su proyecto, ha dicho, pretende “devolver la mayoría absoluta en dos años” al PP valenciano y evitar la necesidad de pactar con Vox.
Antes de su llegada, una de sus más fieles aliadas, la exalcaldesa de Alicante Sonia Castedo, había abogado por la convocatoria de un congreso del PP valenciano y porque la formación sea dirigida por alguien “con experiencia”. Pese a asegurar que “esto no es una guerra de Paco Camps contra Carlos Mazón”, Castedo no ha dudado en afirmar que, si el primero pidiera el voto para liderar el PPCV, ella “sería la primera en dárselo”.
Castedo no ha dudado en afirmar que, si Camps pidiera el voto para liderar el PPCV, ella “sería la primera en dárselo”
Más explícito aún ha sido el exconseller Fernando Villalonga, quien ha generado expectativas al afirmar “vamos a oír un anuncio importante”, y ha resaltado que, a su juicio, “lo importante es que no nos impongan al líder desde fuera”, en clara referencia al proceso por el que fue designado el actual líder del partido en la Comunidad Valenciana.
El simple hecho de que el acto se haya celebrado, pese a los intentos del actual aparato del partido para evitarlo, ya suponen un claro desafío al presidente Mazón, cuya cuestionada gestión al frente de la dana y la presión a la que le somete su pacto presupuestario con Vox le sitúan en un momento delicado. Camps siempre exculpa al actual jefe del Consell al referirse a la riada del 29 de octubre, de cuyas consecuencias culpa siempre al Gobierno central, pero al mismo tiempo diagnostica una profunda debilidad en el partido que su proyecto pretende resolver.
“Lo importante es que no nos impongan al líder desde fuera”, afirma el exconseller Fernando Villalonga
En un alarde de ambigüedad calculada, Camps ha proclamado ante una veterana militancia “estoy a disposición de un partido que pretende volver a ponerse en marcha. Significa lo que significa, haremos lo que tenemos que hacer”. Y ha añadido: “estoy diciendo lo que digo siguiendo a dos grandes maestros del PP, los dos de Galicia, que dicen estas cosas de esta manera”.
“Mi partido necesita más fuerza, más vitalidad, más presencia, más carácter, más talante, más potencia, más discurso, menos complejo y más ganas de trabajar todos los días por el presente y el futuro de esta tierra”, ha exclamado Camps, que ha evitado mencionar en su alocución a Carlos Mazón.
Entre los asistentes al acto, figuran personalidades tan conocidas como Carlos Fabra, expresidente de la Diputación de Castellón, o su colega valenciano Alfonso Rus, y varias figuras que hoy se mantienen al margen pero tuvieron gran peso en el partido que hoy preside Mazón, como la exalcaldesa de Elx Mercedes Alonso, Emilio Llopis o Adela Pedrosa. | 2025-05-10T11:43:55Z | true |

] | The cries of a rigged NBA Draft Lottery are loud and clear once again.
The Dallas Mavericks, with a 1.8% chance of earning the top pick months after trading away star Luka Doncic, came away with the right to draft Duke's Cooper Flagg.
This, of course, is not the first time there have been suspicions: There's the frozen envelope theory from 1985 for the New York Knicks to get Patrick Ewing; the Cleveland Cavaliers got the No. 1 pick when the top prospect was a local kid named LeBron James (same with the Chicago Bulls and Derrick Rose in 2008); and many believe the San Antonio Spurs were gifted Victor Wembanyama in 2023.
Well, Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade didn't exactly shut down any ongoing speculation.
"It's a business," he said in a recent interview.
Wade, of course, would not go out and say it is for sure rigged, "because I'm not a witness in it."
"But this is a business that we are a part of. And I think people forget that in the competition of sports and what we love, because we grow up playing sports, and it's not a business when we grow up. But when you're in the NBA, it's a business. And the business has to do its best job to make sure that, you know, it's taken care of," he said.
James himself and former teammate Kevin Love couldn't help but laugh at the Mavs winning the lottery.
The Spurs received the No. 2 pick, the Philadelphia 76ers will pick third and the Charlotte Hornets will have the fourth pick.
After Flagg, the two top prospects are considered to be freshmen from the Rutgers Scarlet Knights — Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper. | 2025-05-14T19:32:03Z | false |

] | Social media firms should be required to hand over children’s data to bereaved parents “now, before its too late”, a mother has urged.
Ellen Roome, 48, said she might never understand why her 14-year-old son Jools Sweeney took his own life three years ago.
She has called for a change in the law, which MPs could agree to on Wednesday, so that tech giants must hand over children’s data to parents if their child has died.
“If they’ve still got the chance to change it now, I want the Data (Use and Access) Bill changed so that this is in there and we don’t have to wait years for a new law to go through,” Ms Roome told the PA news agency.
“If we’ve got a chance to change it, we need to do it now, before it’s too late.”
Jools died in April 2022, and Ms Roome believes his death could have been linked to an online challenge gone wrong.
She said if social media companies gave bereaved parents access to their child’s data and a harmful trend had a role to play in their death, parents and coroners could “stop it happening to other children”.
Max Wilkinson, the MP for Cheltenham in Gloucestershire where Jools was from, has proposed an amendment to the Government’s Bill.
It would allow bereaved parents to request their child’s user data from up to 12 months before their date of death, including “all content, communications or metadata generated or associated with the deceased persons online”.
Ms Roome sold the financial services business she had for 18 years to campaign for “Jools’ Law” – a right for parents to access their deceased child’s data without a court order – and wider changes to social media, which she described as “not safe”.
She said digital checks should form part of the post-mortem and inquest process, similar to a toxicology report to look for drugs and alcohol.
Ms Roome said: “There’s so much sextortion, blackmail, bullying online that I just think that has to form part of an inquest these days – and automatically request it, not this ‘well, we might request it, if the police feel like it’.”
She continued: “I know how (Jools) died. I walked in to find him.
“I don’t understand why, and all I have been trying to do right from the word ‘go’ is trying to understand why my son’s not alive.
“It then became a bigger picture and Jools’ Law would stop other parents from (being in) my position, but even if Jools’ Law goes through, Jools has had his inquest, so it wouldn’t benefit me at all.
“But it would help other parents, and so I’ve gone off down that route.
“I’m kind of coming to the conclusion that I’m never going to understand, because nobody seems to be able to get me this data.”
Ms Roome said that when she spoke to social media firms in her efforts to access her son’s data, she found they feared being fined or, in some cases, they did not respond.
She said Jools had “presented no mental health problems” and described her son as “very bright”, “quick witted” and “very polite”.
She added that he “didn’t really do much wrong – he got detentions for smuggling a football into class, that normal kid behaviour”.
Liberal Democrat culture spokesman Mr Wilkinson said his amendment “comes down to everybody doing the right thing – that means social media companies doing the right thing voluntarily where they are able to do so, and it means politicians and the Government doing the right thing as well”.
He said that “in days gone by, the questions that parents would be asking would be answered by searching bedrooms, looking in cupboards, reading schoolbooks and diaries”.
Mr Wilkinson continued: “But now, many of those answers do lie in, in some cases, social media accounts.
“And this is just about the law keeping up with the way that families live their lives, that young people live their lives, and that society operates.”
The Data (Use and Access) Bill is expected to clear the Commons on Wednesday and move closer to becoming law.
The Government has proposed in the draft legislation a new duty for the watchdog Ofcom to tell tech firms that they should not delete information about a child who has died, but they would not need to supply the data to parents upon request.
The wide-ranging Bill also includes provision for a ban on creating sexually explicit “deepfake” images of a person without their consent.
A spokesperson for the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology said: “No family should have to experience the devastating consequences of losing a child. From summer the Online Safety Act will introduce strong safeguards to protect children from harmful content online, including material encouraging dangerous stunts and challenges.
“In tragic cases where a child’s death is linked to social media, under the Online Safety Act coroners will have the power to demand relevant data from platforms. This material can then be shared with relevant persons where appropriate, such as parents.
“We are also strengthening these powers through new data laws to ensure information can be preserved after a child’s death to facilitate investigations.
“We are committed to helping bereaved families get the answers they need. We will continue to engage with platforms to ensure they are prepared for new laws and to identify any remaining barriers to retaining data in such tragic cases.”

Die Versorgungslage bei Eiern bleibt laut dem Bundesamt für Landwirtschaft (BLW) herausfordernd.
Für Ostern 2025 dürften jedoch ausreichend Eier verfügbar sein.
Trotzdem müsse an Ostern mit einer eingeschränkten Auswahl gerechnet werden. Besonders viele Eier werden an Ostern zum «Eiertütschen» und an Weihnachten zum Backen nachgefragt.
Der Eierkonsum stieg 2024 im Vergleich zum Vorjahr um 5.7 Prozent. Insgesamt wurden 1797 Millionen Eier nachgefragt. Das sei mehr als während der Corona-Pandemie, als die Nachfrage nach Eiern ausserordentlich hoch gewesen sei, stellte das BLW in einer Mitteilung fest.
Die Zunahme beim Konsum könne teils mit dem Bevölkerungswachstum erklärt werden. Der eigentliche Treiber der Nachfrage sei jedoch der höhere Konsum pro Person, hiess es weiter. Dieser sei im Vergleich zum Vorjahr um 4.7 Prozent gestiegen. Durchschnittlich habe jede Schweizerin und jeder Schweizer 197.7 Eier konsumiert.
Schweizer Produktion kann nicht mithalten
Gemäss dem BLW nahm die inländische Produktion von Eiern vom Jahr 2023 zum Jahr 2024 um 2.8 Prozent zu. Insgesamt hätten Legehennen 1124 Millionen Eier gelegt. In den vergangenen zehn Jahren nahm der Anteil Eier aus Freiland- und Biohaltung zu, während jener aus Bodenhaltung rückläufig war, wie den Zahlen zu entnehmen ist.
Jedoch vermochte die erhöhte Inlandsproduktion die Konsumzunahme nicht zu decken. Dies führe zu einem tieferen Selbstversorgungsgrad. Im Jahr 2024 lag dieser bei 62.5 Prozent.
Die Nachfrage wurde mit höheren Eierimporten gedeckt. Diese stiegen um 10.8 Prozent auf 674 Millionen Eier. Am meisten Eier wurden aus den Niederlanden, Italien, Deutschland und Frankreich importiert. | 2025-04-15T12:35:42Z | true |

Sondern auch um die Art, wie man dereinst auf seine Karriere blicken wird. | Eintracht Frankfurt erlebt aktuell einen starken Mario Götze. In der Europa League spielt er nicht nur um den Titel. Sondern auch um die Art, wie man dereinst auf seine Karriere blicken wird.
Es sind noch acht Minuten zu spielen, als sich André Schürrle auf den Weg macht. Jeder Fußballfan in Deutschland kennt diese Szene, kennt die Flanke, die ankommt, den Ball, der auf der Brust von Mario Götze auftitscht, dann seinen Fuß verlässt. Tom Bartels, der schreit: "Der kommt an, mach ihn, mach ihn, er macht ihn!" Wie Mario Götze schließlich Slalom durch die eigene Glückseligkeit läuft, breit lachend, um dann in einer Jubeltraube zu verschwinden. Wenig später ist Deutschland Weltmeister 2014 und der 22-jährige Götze aus dem Stand in den deutschen Fußball-Olymp aufgestiegen.
Was beim Ansehen der Bilder von damals auffällt: Wie schnell Götzes Lachen einer ernsten Miene weicht. Ein paar Sekunden Jubel, aber schon als er aus der Traube wieder auftaucht, blickt Götze angespannt drein, verbissen fast. Ist es der Druck? Der Versuch, sich zu fokussieren? Oder der erste Hauch einer Ahnung, dass ein solches Tor zu einem solchen Zeitpunkt der Karriere auch eine Bürde sein kann? "Es ist nicht die beste Idee, das Tor deines Lebens mit 22 Jahren zu schießen", schrieb Götze im vergangenen Jahr in einem vielbeachteten Beitrag für das Buch "Stimmen der Eintracht".
Der Goldjunge wurde zum Sorgenkind
Denn das ist ja auch Teil der Wahrheit: Götze hat Deutschland zwar zum Weltmeistertitel geschossen, aber die Karriere stockte in der Folge. Der Goldjunge wurde zum Sorgenkind, aus dem Jahrhunderttalent ein Ersatzspieler bei den Bayern, verletzungsanfällig, unglücklich. Eine erfolglose Rückkehr nach Dortmund, schließlich der Wechsel nach Eindhoven, der wie eine Flucht wirkte. Ein einziges Tor als Schleier über einer ganzen Karriere, ein Mann in seinem eigenen Schatten. Zeig der Welt, dass du besser bist als Messi? Ja, wie denn das?
Elf Jahre ist der WM-Titel nun her, Götze ist ein anderer Fußballer geworden, ein anderer Mensch ebenso. Familienvater, ruhig, erfahren, bei Eintracht Frankfurt gibt er den Elder Statesman im Mittelfeld, noch heute sieht man das überbordende Talent, das ihm gegeben ist, nur eben anders, erwachsener. "Mario ist für uns ein unfassbar wichtiger Spieler. Er ist so ruhig, so schlau", sagte Trainer Dino Toppmöller nach dem Europa-League-Sieg gegen Ajax Amsterdam, in dem Götze zweifach getroffen hatte.
Als würde das Spiel zu ihm kommen
Nur eines von zahlreichen Lobliedern in den vergangenen Wochen, in denen man wieder sehen konnte, was diesen Fußballer so besonders macht: ein tiefes Verständnis dieses Spiels, das man niemals lernen kann, sondern einfach hat oder eben nicht. "Mario ist extrem wichtig für unser Spiel. Er weiß, wann man das Spiel beruhigen muss, wann es wieder schnell gehen muss", sagte Robin Koch. Oder anders: Bei Götze wirkt es, als könne er dem Spiel den Puls fühlen. Als würde er es an die Hand nehmen können, um es dahin zu führen, wo er es braucht. Andere Spieler müssen sich in Spiele reinkämpfen, bei Götze scheint es in den besten Momenten, als würde das Spiel zu ihm kommen, mit der Bitte, geordnet zu werden.
Für den derzeitigen Erfolg der Eintracht ist Götze zentral, wahrscheinlich war er nie wichtiger in seiner Karriere. Und das bietet ihm die Chance, die eigene Geschichte auf den letzten Seiten doch noch umzuschreiben. Der Story desjenigen, der als Jahrhunderttalent startete, um dann unter dieser Last einzuknicken, ein Happy End hinzuzufügen. Mit der Eintracht kann Götze am Donnerstag gegen Tottenham (ab 21 Uhr im hr-iNFO-Audiostream) ins Halbfinale der Europa League einziehen, ein möglicher Titelgewinn ist dann nur noch drei Spiele entfernt.
Ein Schlussakkord, den er selbst spielt
Im Sommer wird Götze 33 Jahre alt, die Karriere neigt sich dem Ende zu. Krönt er sie mit diesem Titel, mit dem Gewinn dieses Cups, der in Frankfurt vielleicht noch einmal mehr bedeutet als anderswo, wird aus seiner Geschichte plötzlich wieder eine Heldensage: Das Jahrhunderttalent, das unter der Last fast zerbrach, nur um sich dann wieder neu zu erfinden und seine Mannschaft zu einem historischen Triumph zu führen. Es wäre ein Happy End, das die Betrachtung des Fußballers Mario Götze ändern würde. Ein Schlussakkord, den er selbst spielt, der Punkt hinter den letzten Satz, den er selbst setzt. Der WM-Torschütze und späte Europa-League-Held - wer würde noch an die Delle dazwischen denken?
Dazu müsste er übrigens nicht einmal, wie 2014, das entscheidende Tor schießen. Er muss einfach spielen, wie er es in den letzten Wochen und Monaten tut. "Ich bin froh, wenn ich zum Sieg beitragen kann, ich muss nicht im Alleingang das Spiel entscheiden", sagte er 2024 dem "Zeit Magazin". Dem kann man nur zustimmen. Und weiter, über sein WM-Tor: "Wenn ich es mir wünschen könnte, würde ich dieses Tor mit 35 Jahren schießen. Dann würde ich die Schuhe in der Nationalmannschaft an den Nagel hängen. Und Tschüss sagen." Eine Chance, die er so ähnlich vielleicht im Mai bei der Eintracht bekommt. | 2025-04-16T13:03:10Z | true |

] | When a 20-year-old opened fire at Florida State University, terrified students barricaded doors and fled across campus, abandoning chemistry notes and even shoes, in a shooting that investigators said killed two men and wounded at least six others.
By early Friday, memorials of candles and flowers dotted the campus and a school-wide vigil had been scheduled as students and faculty tried to start healing from the previous day's shooting, which sent shockwaves of fear across the campus.
“I heard some gunshots and then, you know, just blacked out after,” said Carolina Sena, a 21-year-old accounting student who was inside the student union when the shooting started. “Everyone was crying and just panicking. We were trying to barricade ourselves in a little corner in the basement, trying to protect ourselves as much as we could."
The shooter, identified by police as Phoenix Ikner, is believed to be a Florida State student and the son of a sheriff’s deputy who opened fire with his mother’s former service weapon, investigators said. Authorities have not yet revealed a motive for the shooting, which began around lunchtime Thursday just outside the student union.
Officers quickly arrived and shot and wounded the gunman after he refused to comply with commands, said Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell.
The two men who were killed were not students, said Florida State University Police Chief Jason Trumbower, adding that he would not release additional information about the victims.
The shooter obtained access to a weapon that belongs to his mother, who has been with the sheriff’s office for over 18 years and has been a model employee, said Leon County Sheriff Walt McNeil. Police said they believed Ikner shot the victims using his mother's former service handgun, which she had kept for personal use after the force upgraded to new weapons.
Five people who were wounded were struck by gunfire, while a sixth was hurt while trying to run away, Revell said in a statement Thursday night. They were all in fair condition, a spokesperson for Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare said.
The shooter was a long-standing member of the sheriff’s office’s youth advisory council, the sheriff said.
“He has been steeped in the Leon County Sheriff’s Office family, engaged in a number of training programs that we have,” McNeil said. “So it’s not a surprise to us that he had access to weapons.”
As of Thursday night, Ikner was in the hospital with “serious but non-life-threatening injuries,” according to Revell.
Witness says the suspect's shotgun jammed
Ambulances, fire trucks and patrol vehicles from multiple law enforcement agencies raced toward the campus just west of Florida's capital after the university issued an active shooter alert.
Aidan Stickney, a 21-year-old studying business management, was running late to class when he said he saw a man get out of a car with a shotgun and aim at another man in a white polo shirt.
The gun jammed, Stickney said, and the shooter rushed back to his car and emerged with a handgun, opening fire on a woman. Stickney ran, warning others as he called 911.
“I got lucky today. I really did. I really, really did,” he said.
Trumbower said investigators have no evidence that anyone was shot with the shotgun.
Shots sent students scattering
Holden Mendez, a 20-year-old student studying political science and international affairs, said he had just left the student union when he heard a series of shots. He ran into a nearby campus building, where he said his previous emergency response training kicked in.
“There was a lot of fear. There was a lot of panic. There was a lot of misinformation that was being spread around. I was doing my best to kind of combat that," he said. “I told people, ‘Take a deep breath. This building is secure. Everything is going to be ok.'"
Andres Perez, 20, was in a classroom near the student union when the alarm sounded for a lockdown. He said his classmates began moving desks in front of the door and police officers came to escort them out.
“I always hang out in the student union,” Perez said. “So the second I found out that the threat was there, my heart sank and I was scared.”
Shooting shocks campus and the nation
President Donald Trump said from the Oval Office that he had been fully briefed on the shooting.
“It’s a horrible thing. It’s horrible that things like this take place,” he said.
But Trump also suggested that he would not be advocating for any new gun legislation, saying, “The gun doesn’t do the shooting, the people do.”
University President Richard McCullough said he was heartbroken by the violence. “Our hearts go out to our students and the victims of this terrible tragedy," he said.
Another shooting a decade ago at Florida State
Florida State is one of Florida’s 12 public universities, with its main campus in Tallahassee. About 44,000 students are enrolled in the university, per the school’s 2024 fact sheet.
In 2014, the main library was the site of a shooting that wounded three people. Officers shot and killed the gunman, 31-year-old Myron May.
The university canceled classes for the rest of the week and canceled home athletic events through Sunday.

] | The leader of the United Arab Emirates gifted President Donald Trump his country’s highest civilian honor on Thursday.
"In recognition of President Donald Trump’s exceptional efforts to strengthen the longstanding ties of friendship and strategic partnership between the United Arab Emirates and the United States of America, I am honored to announce that His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan bestows the Order of Zayed upon President Trump," a woman was heard before Trump was presented the award.
The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the "Order of Zayed is considered the highest civilian honor granted by the UAE, and is bestowed upon world leaders and heads of state."
"The award bears the name of the UAE’s Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed, whose legacy of humanitarianism, international cooperation and the pursuit of peace continues to have an impact throughout the world today," the ministry added.
Trump on Thursday arrived in the United Arab Emirates for his final stop on his Middle East trip this week in a visit that marked the first time a U.S. president has traveled to the nation in nearly 20 years, following President George W. Bush's trip in 2008.
In March, the UAE pledged a $1.4 trillion investment in the U.S. economy over the next decade through AI infrastructure, semiconductor, energy and American manufacturing initiatives, including a plan to nearly double U.S. aluminum production by investing in a new smelter for the first time in 35 years.

] | The Trump administration is cracking down on colleges that don’t report big foreign donations, with UC Berkeley the latest target following a Department of Education review of the California university’s foreign funding disclosures found that it "may be incomplete or inaccurate."
Education Secretary Linda McMahon ordered the agency’s legal team on Friday to take back control of enforcing a law that requires schools to disclose foreign gifts or contracts worth $250,000 or more.
"The Biden-Harris Administration turned a blind eye to colleges and universities’ legal obligations by deprioritizing oversight and allowing foreign gifts to pour onto American campuses. Despite widespread compliance failures, no new Section 117 investigations were initiated for four years, and ongoing investigations were closed prematurely," McMahon said in a statement. "I have great confidence in my Office of General Counsel to investigate these matters fully, and they will begin by thoroughly examining UC Berkeley’s apparent failure to fully and accurately disclose significant funding received from foreign sources."
The investigation comes amid Trump's growing scrutiny over foreign influence in U.S. higher education.
This week, Trump signed an executive order tightening rules on how colleges report foreign funding, directing the Education Department to undo past policies that let universities "obscure details regarding their foreign funding" and to make schools fully disclose where that money comes from and what it’s for.
The Department of Education said this issue gained attention after reports surfaced in 2023 that Berkeley failed to report hundreds of millions of dollars it received from China.
In response to a federal inquiry at the time, Berkeley admitted it didn’t report $220 million received and showed it had been building a long-term financial relationship with foreign government-controlled entities, while also "misunderstanding its legal duty to disclose that funding," the department disclosed in a news release.
An Education Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital they initiated a records request into Harvard for foreign funding last week.
A White House fact sheet this week cited a Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations report showing nearly $60 billion in foreign gifts and contracts have flowed into universities over several decades, often with little oversight. Federal officials say only a fraction of the country’s roughly 6,000 institutions report such funding.
"President Trump is ending secrecy surrounding foreign funding in higher education to protect students, research, and the marketplace of ideas," the fact sheet reads. | 2025-04-25T18:08:28Z | false |

Tras la semana de Champions League, en la que el Barcelona fue eliminado tras una apasionante prórroga frente al Inter de Milán, llega el clásico ante el Madrid en un duelo que puede decantar LaLiga para los azulgrana o hacer seguir soñando a los blancos.
Tras la eliminación, Jordi Évole, reconocido aficionado del Barcelona, salió en defensa del club que preside Joan Laporta en su cuenta personal de X, antes Twitter. «Este equipo hará historia. Hoy la ha hecho hasta perdiendo. ¡Visca el Barça!» expresó en sus redes sociales.
En la previa del clásico de este domingo ante el Madrid, el periodista acudió a El Larguero para comentar la actualidad futbolística con Álvaro Benito, y aprovechó la invitación para hablar alto y claro sobre el Real Madrid, su televisión y Florentino Pérez. «Me parecía justo salir en su defensa, porque lo del martes fue algo inusual. Un equipo que remonta y, en lugar de encerrarse a aguantar el resultado, sigue atacando… eso es fútbol en estado puro», empezó diciendo Évole en su intervención radiofónica.
Las quejas arbitrales del Barcelona frente al Inter
Tras la eliminación de la máxima competición europea a nivel de clubes, gran parte del barcelonismo señaló a Marciniak, colegiado polaco del encuentro, como el gran responsable de lo ocurrido en el Giuseppe Meazza. «Punto uno. No hay una queja preventiva, que es lo que hace el Real Madrid. No hay una queja que a 24 horas del partido ponga en jaque el propio partido. Eso el Barcelona a día de hoy no lo hace. Yo reconozco que en otros momentos el Barcelona lo ha hecho, pero creo que ahora no está en ese modo de actuar», explicó el periodista en 'El Larguero'.
«Ganar está sobrevalorado. Hay que saber perder y el Barça supo perder el otro día con mucha grandeza, con poco drama sobre el terreno de juego y con muy poca protesta hacia el árbitro, en comparación. No sé qué hubiese hecho Real Madrid Televisión con ese arbitraje, pero me imagino que las delicias de Florentino», explicó el comunicador español.
Los dardos de Évole al Real Madrid antes del clásico frente al Barcelona
«Cuando se gana van a saludar al rival y no se van a encarar con la afición contraria a ver si les tiran algo. Y cuando pierden, pues se van a su casa jodidos, pero esperando el próximo partido. En la vida es muy bueno saber que a veces se gana y normalmente se pierde, casi siempre se pierde. Incluso el Real Madrid, por mucho que diga. Lo que pasa es que cuando se pierde hay que saber perder y yo creo que el Barça supo perder muy bien el otro día», siguió el presentador que ahondó en que a él le «avergonzaría» ver lo que ha hecho este año en algunas ocasiones la plantilla del Real Madrid: «Es un equipo incomprensiblemente rabioso», comentó.
Para el periodista la temporada del Real Madrid no ha sido buena: «Entiendo el poderío madridista y la rabia que tiene que dar, que tú la temporada que fichas a Mbappé y piensas que vas a ganar la liga con una pierna, la copa con media pierna y la Champions igual con las dos, de momento no has ganado nada. Tiene que joder mucho ver que al otro lado, donde no había un puto duro, porque en el Barcelona no había ni un duro, lo que ha salido ha sido, aparte de otras perlas de la cantera, algo muy único, muy valioso, muy atractivo, que además provoca la admiración en todo el mundo», concluyó Évole. | 2025-05-10T12:11:56Z | true |

] | “You have just sold an item on Vinted” is probably the most gratifying notification to appear on my mobile’s home screen these days. It means quick, easy cash and moving on something I no longer use or wear.
I’m certainly not the only one: the secondhand marketplace boasts more than 16 million users in the UK. Founded in Lithuania in 2008, Vinted is accessed through an app, making it simple (and dangerously addictive) to scroll. Celebrities love it too: the fashion maven Alexa Chung recently used it to clear out some designer items, while Irish actor Paul Mescal sold his Gladiator II press wardrobe on the platform.
Less faff than eBay and with no fees for sellers, it’s easy to upload the sandals your child has just grown out of, or the cake stand you’re never going to use again. Here’s how to get started – and maximise your selling potential.
What sells well
The UK market is largely made up of women aged 18 to 44, so naturally womenswear is the most popular category, followed by kids’s clothes and toys. But electronics and pre-loved luxury fashion are both gaining momentum. That said, you can find and sell almost anything, from vintage football kits to perfume.
How it works
Getting started
Download the app and register. Add a headshot to your profile (casual selfies are fine – this isn’t LinkedIn) as this helps encourage trust, especially for early transactions when you haven’t yet accrued a user rating (sadly, there are scam accounts around).
Uploading
Simply click “Sell” and the first step is to either upload photos from your camera library, or point and shoot. The rest is foolproof – you are prompted for a title eg. “pink skirt” (though it pays to be detailed – more on that later), a category and a brief description. Then add the brand, colour and material, your desired price, and an assessment of the item’s condition ranging from “satisfactory” to “new with tags”. You then select from three parcel sizes – small, medium or large, and upload. All of this is completely free.
Getting a good shot
The first photo acts as the thumbnail so this is what users will see first when searching; make sure it is crisp and shows off the whole item. An uncluttered background (wardrobe doors for clothes or plain floors for gadgets is fine) and natural light is always key. Matt Yates, who works in construction, has made over £600 in two months by clearing out his wardrobe, which is made up of sought-after brands Pretty Green, Arket, Adidas and Uniqlo.
When photographing your item, make it more attractive by hanging it up nicely rather than laying it flat on the floor
While some users will use mannequins or pose wearing their items (the latter is good to help people visualise dresses and coats; faces can be cropped out) Yates favours thick hangers for jackets and shirts: “It makes the item hang better – and make sure they are cleaned and ironed,” he advises. For trousers: “These should be laid out flat or folded back on themselves with a bright background, and for everything else, try to show various angles,” he says. Up to 20 pictures can be uploaded and it’s vital to capture any imperfections or scuffs. Don’t forget the brand label and care label, as well as any tags, boxes or original packaging which you plan to send the item with.
Describing your item
Vinted insiders advise using more keywords to optimise visibility. So rather than a title that reads “denim jeans”, pile on relevant terms such as “Levi’s straight leg stonewash mid-rise jeans”. If the item has a style name or is an electrical with a model number, add that into the title too. The description box can be kept minimal but to help get a sale, be honest and helpful: Are there any visible marks? Does an item fit true to size? Has something only been used a couple of times? Is your home smoke and pet-free? Include measurements, especially for household items (or pose with your hand for scale). Hashtags also rank better when users search, so if you add #levis in the description box, your item will rank better in searches.
Setting the right price
The general consensus is to set the price slightly higher so that there’s wiggle room for offers. Vinted surfaces previously sold items during the upload process to help give you a steer. For an item that’s new, start with 60-80 per cent of the retail price; for items that are only in satisfactory condition aim for 40 to 20 per cent. Unlike eBay there’s no bidding – but buyers can use the “Make an Offer” function to haggle.
Posting and sending
Sellers have five business days to send their goods. Shipping with Vinted is truly a breeze because it’s integrated; costs are included and paid for by the buyer (so no need to weigh anything). Sellers will see the label in their inbox along with instructions on how to send the order (i.e. if the label needs printing or not, and where to drop it off). Carriers include DPD, InPost, Yodel, Evri, Royal Mail, Relay and QR codes mean labels can be printed at parcel shops. Don’t live anywhere near an Evri drop-off point? You can handpick only the carriers you want to use (in your settings), so if that means exclusively Yodel and never having to queue at the Post Office again – you can set it up.
How to get paid
Sellers don’t incur any fees. The buyer pays upfront but the seller will only get paid once the item has been received and confirmed as OK (literally by clicking the “Everything is OK” button; if the buyer doesn’t do this, the sale is automatically marked as complete after two business days). Funds are then transferred to the seller’s Vinted balance within two working days, where it remains in a pot and can be used towards future purchases, or withdrawn to a nominated bank account.
A note about tax
Neesha Craig, founder of The Fun Money Club, says: “There is a lot of scare-mongering going on, but you do not have to pay tax if you are selling your secondhand items on Vinted.” As confirmed by HMRC, the rules are simple: if you are selling items for less than you paid for them, you do not need to pay tax, as you are not turning a profit. The only time that an individual item might be taxable is when you sell it for more than £6,000 and it sells for a higher price than you paid for it.
When to upload and how
This is where it gets geeky. Sunday is the most popular day for sales on Vinted and Craig cites uploading between 7pm to 8pm as “the golden sales window”. The algorithm favours frequent uploads, so adding items daily will help boost visibility in a competitive market. Consider bulk uploading by genre – so if you have a selection of books, do those in one go, then clothes listings the next day or later in the week. This will entice buyers who are after more of the same. For cheaper things or inexpensive essentials (like kids’s t-shirts or small books), it’s worth uploading items in pairs or threes, as the buyer gets more bang for the same postage cost (and you can perhaps charge slightly more). But don’t confuse these for “Bundles”; bundles are where buyers can purchase several listings from a seller and enjoy a discount – provided you have this activated in your settings. Mine are set to 10 per cent off for two items, 20 per cent for three and 25 per cent for five or more.
What if my item isn’t selling?
To obtain the best prices, list in season – that winter coat holds little appeal in a heatwave. Craig sends a slightly discounted price – known as an “offer” – via private message to everyone who favourites her items. “It’s a free feature and it baffles me why hardly anyone uses it,” she says. Reducing the price on the listing can also work (anyone who has favourited the item will be alerted to the discount). Craig thinks it pays to delete a listing and start again; “but you have to take new photos – if it didn’t sell the first time your listing needs work and it’s probably the photos which are letting it down.”
How to build a loyal following
Quick and clear communication is key. Allow notifications so that you can quickly respond to offers or queries. Pack and post efficiently but for whatever reason you can’t, drop the buyer a note to make them aware (there is also a holiday mode which makes your listings dormant). And always leave feedback – a simple “great buyer, thank you” review is likely to encourage those transacting with you to reciprocate, helping to boost your rating.
Buying on Vinted
How it works
Use the search bar to type in what you’re looking then refine by size, colour or brand to filter the best results. There’s the option to ask seller questions, make an offer, or buy now with clearly signposted buttons. The algorithm is smart: every time you visit, the home screen’s “Recommended For You” is populated with new uploads based on your previous searches, surfacing treasure you might never discover otherwise.
How to pay
Payments are linked to your chosen bank card or Apple Pay. Buyers pay a small “user protection fee” (usually between three and eight per cent of the item price), and this is how Vinted makes money. Delivery can be to home or your local parcel shop; you can search by map or lists for the latter.
Bagging a bargain
It’s always worth making an offer, but if an item has just been listed and is competitively priced, it’s unlikely the seller will be motivated to drop their price. Wait a few days and this could be a different story (though by then it could have slipped through your hands). Set alerts for brands you covet and check out the rest of the seller’s inventory – they may have more things you like and you can curate a bundle and make an offer based on snapping several pieces up.
What happens when things go wrong
Buyers and sellers are encouraged to work through issues together through sharing photos and messages. Buyers are covered by Vinted’s Buyer Protection and Refund Policy in order to contest if an item is significantly not as described. But refunds because someone changed their mind are at the discretion of the seller and unlikely. | 2025-05-12T12:51:00Z | true |

MUSTAFA YILMAZ - Askerdeyken proje çizimini yaptığı hidropnömatik sistemli silindirlerin üretimi için Bursa'da 1995'te fabrika açarak yerli üretim yapan girişimci, ayrıca ihracatla ülkeye döviz girdisi sağlıyor.
Makine mühendisi Veli Kaynar'ın kurduğu firmada, sadece 6 bar hava kullanılarak sıvı ve gazların da basınçlarını artıran sistemler ile 6 bar basınçlı havayla 100 ton kuvvet üreten hidropnömatik silindirler imal ediliyor.
Kaynar'ın kendi tasarımıyla üretilen makineler, özellikle beyaz eşya, metal ve otomotiv sektörlerinin bu alandaki ihtiyacını karşılıyor. Yurt dışına gönderilen bu silindirlerle ülke ekonomisine de katkı sağlanıyor.
Fabrikada ayrıca kaynaksız birleştirme, perçin, somun çakma ve sac şekillendirme gibi işlemlerde kullanılan farklı bir makinenin de üretimi gerçekleştiriliyor.
- "İthalatı yapılan bir üründü, şu anda ihracatı yapılır vaziyete geldi"
Firma sahibi makine mühendisi Veli Kaynar, AA muhabirine, daha önce yurt dışından getirilen malzemeleri satan firmada çalıştığını, ardından askere gittiğini söyledi.
Askerlik hizmeti yaparken aklındaki çeşitli projelerin çizimini yaptığını belirten Kaynar, 1985 yılında hidropnömatik sistemli silindiri yapmayı başardığını anlattı.
Kaynar, 1995 yılında fabrika kurduğunu ifade ederek, "Öğrendiğimiz bilgiler çerçevesinde bu resimleri yaptım askerlik zamanımda. Geldikten sonra güncel hayata geçirdim. Sağda, solda imalatçı arkadaşlarla yaptık. Bu tür ürünler daha önceden yurt dışından geliyordu. Bunların ülkemize katkı olarak döneceğini düşündük çünkü ithalatı yapılan bir üründü, şu anda ihracatı yapılır vaziyete geldi." dedi.
Kaynar, sözlerini şöyle sürdürdü:
"Bu silindirlerde pnömatiğin hızını hidroliğin de gücünü kullanıyoruz. Dolayısıyla müthiş bir enerji tasarrufuyla karşı karşıya kalıyoruz. Bunu yurt dışında çok fazla kişi kullanıyor, Türkiye'de de bizim sayemizde öğreniyorlar. Biz de yurt dışına bunları ihraç ediyoruz. Gücü, istenilen yerlerde kullanmak için tasarlanmış silindirlerdir bunlar. Almanlar da bunu 1975'te yapmış. Aramızda çok büyük bir fark yok ama bu tamamıyla benim eserim."
- "Dünyadaki kaliteli ürünlere eş değer ürünler yapıyoruz"
Ürünlerini Çin'den Arjantin'e, ABD'den Güney Kore'ye kadar 19 ülkeye ihraç ettiklerini belirten Kaynar, şöyle devam etti:
"19 ülkeye biz ihraç ediyoruz ama yurt dışı partner firmalarımız aracılığıyla ürünlerimiz 70 ülkede kullanılıyor. Uzun yıllar 20 sene, 25 sene hiç bakım görmeden çalışan sistemlerimiz mevcut. Dünyadaki kaliteli ürünlere eş değer ürünler yapıyoruz. Takip ettiğimiz sistemlerde evet bazı teknolojik üstünlükleri olan ülkeler var. O ülkelerin imalat tarzlarını inceleyerek, aynı sistemi kendi bünyemizde bulundurarak bunların üretimini sağladık. Dolayısıyla kaliteli bir ürün ortaya çıktı."
Kaynar, herhangi iki sacı kaynaksız birleştirebildikleri, yine hidropnömatik sistem kullanılarak somun ve cıvata çakabilen yerli makinelerin de satışını yaptıklarını anlatarak, şunları kaydetti:
"Beyaz eşya ve kombi gibi türlü sektörü sayabiliriz. Yerli ve yabancı firmaların Türkiye'deki bütün beyaz eşya firmalarıyla çalışıyoruz. Son yıllarda beyaz eşyalarda olsun, otomotiv de olsun somun ve cıvata çakma sistemleri var. Bu makineyi bizler üretiyoruz, yerli tamamıyla hatta bu makinelerimizin üzerinde iki tane güvenlik sistemimiz var. Bunların da patentlerini biz aldık."

Srinagar afp | Nach dem Anschlag auf Touristen in der umstrittenen Region Kaschmir haben indische und pakistanische Soldaten nach indischen Angaben in der dritten Nacht in Folge aufeinander geschossen. Die indische Armee erklärte am Sonntag, entlang der Demarkationslinie zwischen beiden Ländern in der von Neu-Delhi sowie von Islamabad beanspruchten Region hätten zunächst pakistanische Soldaten „unprovoziert“ mit Kleinwaffen geschossen. Indische Soldaten hätten hierauf „wirksam“ mit „angemessenem Kleinwaffenbeschuss“ reagiert.
Von pakistanischer Seite gab es zunächst keine Bestätigung des jüngsten Schusswechsels. Bereits in den vergangenen Nächten war es zu ähnlichen Zusammenstößen gekommen.
Am Dienstag hatten Angreifer im beliebten Urlaubsort Pahalgam im indischen Teil von Kaschmir 26 Touristen erschossen. Nach indischen Polizeiangaben waren unter den flüchtigen Tätern zwei pakistanische Staatsbürger. Indien warf Pakistan nach dem Angriff die Unterstützung von „grenzüberschreitendem Terror“ vor, Pakistan wies dies zurück.
Die beiden Atommächte überzogen sich nach dem Anschlag gegenseitig mit Strafmaßnahmen. Experten schließen angesichts der jüngsten Spannungen eine militärische Eskalation nicht aus.
Der UN-Sicherheitsrat verurteilte am Freitag in einer Erklärung den Anschlag auf die Touristen als „Terrorangriff“. Die Verantwortlichen müssten zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden, hieß es. Am Donnerstag hatte der Sprecher von UN-Generalsekretär António Guterres, Stéphane Dujarric, beide Seiten zu „größtmöglicher Zurückhaltung“ aufgerufen.
Die nördliche Himalaya-Region Kaschmir, die mehrheitlich von Muslimen bewohnt wird, ist seit der Unabhängigkeit Indiens und Pakistans im Jahr 1947 geteilt. Beide Länder beanspruchen das Gebiet vollständig für sich und haben bereits zwei Kriege um die Kontrolle der Bergregion geführt. | 2025-04-27T08:03:00Z | true |

YAVUZ EMRAH SEVER - Yurt içi ve yurt dışındaki etkinliklerde Türkiye'yi ve Türk kadınını temsil eden akrobasi pilotu Semin Öztürk Şener, gerçekleştirdiği akrobasi tanıtım uçuşlarıyla da havacılığa ilgi duyanları gökyüzüyle buluşturuyor.
Eskişehir'in Sivrihisar ilçesindeki Sivrihisar Havacılık Merkezi Necati Artan Tesisleri'nin kurucularından Türkiye'nin ilk profesyonel akrobasi pilotu olan babası Ali İsmet Öztürk'ün izinden giden Şener, 12 yaşındayken babasıyla yaptığı akrobasi uçuşu ile havacılığa adım attı.
İzleyici önündeki ilk uçuşunu 360 beygir gücündeki "Pitts S2-B" uçağıyla 19 Eylül 2015'te gerçekleştiren Şener, ilerleyen dönemde ise "Yeni Menekşe" isimli 400 beygir gücündeki "Acromach S2S Experimental" uçağıyla gösterilerini sürdürdü.
Yurt içinde ve yurt dışında çok sayıda gösteri gerçekleştiren Şener, 2018'de Romanya'da düzenlenen ve birçok ülkeden 35 akrobasi uçağının katıldığı Aeromania Havacılık Festivali'nde gökyüzünü renklendirdi. 2023 yılında ise Almanya'nın doğusunda yer alan Saksonya eyaletine bağlı Bautzen kentinde yapılan hava gösterisinde Türkiye'yi temsil eden ilk Türk pilot olan Şener'in bu 2 ülkede gerçekleştirdiği gösteriler için "Yeni Menekşe" uçağı sökülerek tırla yaklaşık 7 bin 500 kilometre taşındı.
Gökyüzünde yaptığı gösterilerle 13 yıldır insanlara havacılığı sevdiren Şener, Sivrihisar Havacılık Merkezi Necati Artan Tesisleri'nde akrobasi tanıtım uçuşları yapıyor. Havacılık tutkusu olanları çift kanatlı, çift kişilik uçağıyla gökyüzüyle buluşturan Şener, akrobasiyle adrenalini yaşamak isteyenlere eşsiz bir deneyim yaşatıyor.
- "Hiçbir manevra gelişigüzel yapılmıyor"
Semin Öztürk Şener, AA muhabirine, "ileri uçuş tekniği" olarak adlandırılan akrobasinin çok ciddi bir planlama, çalışma ve disiplin gerektirdiğini söyledi.
Gösterilerde sergilediği her manevranın önceden hesaplandığını aktaran Şener, şöyle konuştu:
"Ona göre planlanır. Hepsi matematiksel hesaplara dayanıyor. O günkü hava şartları, uçağın hızı, irtifası, rüzgar birçok kıstas var. Bu etkenlerin hepsi göz önünde bulundurularak bir uçuş programı ortaya çıkıyor. Bu uçuş programının dışına hiçbir şekilde çıkılmıyor. Programa sadık kalınıyor. Hiçbir manevra gelişigüzel yapılmıyor. Bütün risklerimiz de hesaplanmış riskler şeklinde oluyor."
Şener, gösterilerde temel akrobasi manevralarının yanında babasının koçluğundan kendi ortaya çıkardığı manevraların yer aldığını bildirdi.
Sivrihisar Havacılık Merkezi'nde yıl içerisinde düzenledikleri birçok etkinlikte "Yeni Menekşe" ile yer aldığını dile getiren Şener, "Yaklaşık 13 senedir bu programı uyguluyoruz. Muhtemelen gösteri uçuşlarım 150'ye yaklaşmıştır." ifadesini kullandı.
İki çocuk annesi Şener, gösterilerinin ardından akrobasiye ilgi duyan birçok insan olduğunu belirterek, bu doğrultuda yaptıkları planlamayla akrobasi tanıtım uçuşlarını başlattıklarını kaydetti.
Yaklaşık 10 yıldır akrobasiyi tanıtmak amaçlı uçuşlar düzenlediklerini anlatan Şener, şöyle devam etti:
"Bu uçuşlar yaklaşık 15-20 dakika oluyor. Misafirimiz önde oturuyor. Ben arkada oturuyorum ve akrobasinin temel manevralarını gerçekleştiriyoruz. Amacımız tamamen keyif almak ve havacılığı sevdirmek. Adrenalini hissetmek ve akrobasi uçuşu ile beraber güzel bir gün geçirmek. Bu uçuşumuzu çift kanatlı, çift kişilik uçağımızla yapıyoruz."
Şener, akrobasi uçuşlarında kadınların erkeklere göre fiziksel olarak daha avantajlı olduğuna dikkati çekti.

Döküm tavalar, sıcaklığı eşit bir şekilde dağıtma özellikleri nedeniyle et pişirme, kızartma ve fırınlama gibi işlemler için tercih edilir. Tavanın iç yüzeyine uygulanan doğal yağ tabakası, yemeklerin tavaya yapışmasını engeller ve tavanın paslanmasını önler. Döküm tavalar zamanla doğal bir "baharatlanma" (seasoning) katmanı oluşturur, bu katman tavanın daha iyi performans göstermesini sağlar.
Ancak bu tavaların temizlenmesi de titizlik gerektirir. Döküm tavalar, ısının yüksekliğinden dolayı yemeklerin yapışma eğilimindedir ve yağ, et ya da sos gibi yiyecekler pişirildiğinde tavanın yüzeyinde kalıntılar birikebilir. Bu kalıntılar zamanla tavanın kirlenmesine neden olur.
Döküm tavanın temizlenmemesi durumunda, biriken yağlar ve yemek artıkları zamanla katılaşarak tavanın içine yapışabilir, bu da tavanın performansını olumsuz etkiler. Ayrıca, tavanın yüzeyindeki yağ tabakası bozulur, paslanma riskini artırır. Döküm tavalar, temizlenmediklerinde uzun vadede paslanabilir ve zamanla kullanılamaz hale gelebilir. Tava ne kadar uzun süre kirli bırakılırsa, o kadar zor temizlenebilir ve eski haline getirilmesi daha uzun bir süreç alabilir. Temizlenmeyen bir döküm tava, yemeklerin lezzetini etkileyebilir ve tavanın ömrünü kısaltabilir. Bu nedenle, döküm tavaların düzenli olarak temizlenmesi ve doğru şekilde bakımı yapılması önemlidir.
DÖKÜM TAVA NASIL TEMİZLENİR?
Döküm tavaların temizliği, geleneksel tavaların temizliğinden biraz daha farklıdır çünkü döküm tavanın ömrünü uzatmak ve sağlıklı kullanımını sağlamak için doğru temizlik yöntemi gerekir. Öncelikle, döküm tavayı temizlerken sabun kullanmaktan kaçınılmalıdır çünkü sabun, tavaya uygulanan koruyucu yağ katmanını (seasoning) bozabilir. Temizlik için, tavayı sıcak suyla ılımlı şekilde yıkamak yeterlidir. Eğer tavanın içinde yapışan yemek kalıntıları varsa, yumuşatmak için ılık su eklenebilir ve bir spatula veya ahşap bir kaşıkla temizlenebilir.
Bazen, tavanın dibine yapışan yiyeceklerin daha iyi temizlenmesi için biraz tuz eklenip, bir kağıt havluyla veya temiz bir bezle ovalanması faydalı olabilir. Bu yöntem, kimyasal temizlik malzemeleri kullanmadan döküm tavayı temizlemenin doğal ve etkili bir yoludur. Eğer tavanın üzerinde çok fazla kir birikmişse, ılık suyun içine birkaç damla sirke eklenerek tavada biraz bekletilip sonra ovalanabilir. Temizlik sonrası döküm tavayı iyice kurutmak önemlidir çünkü nem, paslanmaya neden olabilir. Tava tamamen kuruduktan sonra, tavaya ince bir katman zeytinyağı ya da bitkisel yağ sürülmeli ve bir bezle iyice yayılmalıdır. Bu işlem, tavayı korur, paslanmasını engeller ve yemeklerinizin daha lezzetli olmasına yardımcı olur.
DÖKÜM TAVA TEMİZLEMENİN PÜF NOKTASI
Döküm tavaların temizliği, doğru bakım sağlanmadığı takdirde tavanın ömrünü kısaltabilir ve kullanım verimini düşürebilir. Döküm tava, kullanım sonrası sabunlu su ile yıkanmamalıdır çünkü sabun, tavaya uygulanan doğal yağ katmanını (seasoning) yok edebilir. Hijyen işlemi için, ilk adım olarak tavanın iç kısmına yapışmış yiyecek kalıntılarını soğuk su ve bir spatula ile nazikçe sıyırmak önerilir. Eğer yemek kalıntıları daha dirençliyse, sıcak suyun içine biraz tuz ekleyerek karışımı tavada bekletmek, kirin daha kolay çözülmesine yardımcı olur. Yumuşak bir fırça veya kağıt havlu ile tavanın içini ovalayarak temizlik işlemi yapılabilir.
Kirin tamamen temizlendiğinden emin olduktan sonra tavayı dikkatlice kurutmak önerilir. Kurulama işlemi için tavanın üzerine nemli bir bezle silme işlemi yapılabilir, ardından kurutma işlemi, tavayı ocakta hafifçe ısıtarak sonlandırılabilir. Sıcak tavanın üzerine bir damla yağ (zeytinyağı gibi) sürüp, bezle yayarak tavanın iç yüzeyine ince bir yağ tabakası oluşturmak, paslanmaya karşı koruma sağlar. Bu işlem, tavanın kullanımı sırasında biriken yağ tabakasını güçlendirir ve tavanın gıda ile temasını sağlıklı tutar.
DİKKAT EDİLMESİ GEREKENLER
Döküm tavanın temizlenmesi ihmal edildiğinde, bu sadece estetik değil, fonksiyonel sorunlara da yol açabilir. Yüzeydeki kirler, tavanın ısısını düzgün bir şekilde dağıtmasını engeller ve yemeğin homojen pişmesini zorlaştırır. Ayrıca, biriken yağ ve yemek artıkları, tavanın doğal yapısını bozar ve baharatlanma katmanının kaybolmasına neden olabilir. Bu katman, döküm tavayı daha yapışmaz hale getiren ve paslanmayı engelleyen koruyucu bir tabakadır. Baharatlanma tabakasının kaybolması, tavanın yemeklere yapışmasına ve paslanmaya daha yatkın olmasına sebep olur. Döküm tava temizlerken dikkat edilmesi gereken bazı noktalar şunlardır:
Temizlenmeyen döküm tavalar, yemeklerin tadını etkileyebileceği gibi, bakteri birikmesine de zemin hazırlayabilir. Özellikle et ya da deniz ürünleri pişirildiğinde, artıkları temizlememek, tavanın üzerinde bakteri ve kötü koku birikmesine yol açabilir. Zamanla, bu birikintiler tavanın üzerine kötü bir tabaka oluşturur, bu da sadece yemeklerin tadını bozmakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda sağlık açısından da risk teşkil eder.
Tavanın temizlenmemesi sonucu paslanma ve kirlenme birikintileri tavanın kullanım ömrünü kısaltır. Uzun vadede, döküm tava paslanmaya başlayarak tamamen kullanılamaz hale gelebilir. Bu, ciddi bir zarar olup, tavanın sadece işlevsel değil, estetik açıdan da kaybına yol açar. | 2025-04-30T08:45:03Z | true |

] | Coins celebrating 150 years of the emporium Liberty sitting at the heart of artistic innovation and craftsmanship have been unveiled by the Royal Mint.
Created in the Liberty Design studio, the £5 coin design combines the department store’s past and present, with elements from Liberty’s latest collection of fabrics appearing in the design.
Liberty was founded by Arthur Lasenby Liberty in 1875 and it is known for the distinctive Tudor-style architecture of its London building and its floral and paisley prints.
The brand soon became a hub for design and craftsmanship and it is celebrated for its fashion and its decoratively patterned fabrics.
The Liberty commemorative coin is available as limited-edition precious metal proof finishes, brilliant uncirculated and colour versions, with prices starting at £18.50.
The full collection will be available to buy on the Royal Mint website from May 12 at 9am.
Coins will also be on display and available to buy within Liberty’s archive exhibition shop, along with a 1.5 kilogramme silver masterwork medallion that took the Mint around three weeks to make. The Mint said the medallion will be available to purchase for a “five figure sum”.
The coins and medallion will be on display at Liberty’s flagship store from May 12 to the end of July, with the medallion also being available to buy.
Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: “Flamboyant style, timeless designs and the finest British craftsmanship have been combined to produce a special commemorative coin to mark 150 years of Liberty.
“It has been a pleasure collaborating with Liberty to create this unique design that honours the brand’s rich heritage and its bright future.”
She added: “The Liberty £5 coin also marks a special chapter in The Royal Mint’s coinage history, by being the first fashion house to be celebrated on an official UK coin.”
Pere Bruach, design manager from Liberty, said: “Looking to the design house’s past and present, this special edition coin is a heartfelt tribute to our iconic flagship store.” | 2025-05-08T23:01:00Z | true |

Contributor: The Endangered Species Act faces its own existential threat | Los Angeles Times | https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2025-05-14/endangered-species-act-harm-habitat | [
"Marcy Houle"
] | [] | We are on the cusp of losing the integrity of one of the most significant environmental acts ever enacted in the United States. Why should this matter? As the Pulitzer Prize-winning evolutionary biologist E.O. Wilson put it: “We should preserve every scrap of biodiversity as priceless while we learn to use it and come to understand what it means to humanity.” Wilson considered the Endangered Species Act of 1973 the most important piece of conservation legislation in our nation’s history.
I know what that means. I know because I lived it.
Fifty years ago, when I began studying peregrine falcons in Colorado, there seemed little hope the species would escape extinction. I was well aware of the shocking statistics: From a historical population of 8,773 pairs in North America, only 500 pairs were known to remain on the continent in 1975. In the Rockies, only 14 birds were surviving.
The Endangered Species Act arrived in the nick of time. It had been passed by a near-unanimous bipartisan vote in Congress and signed into law by President Nixon. The act did several things immediately. Each step was critical. It mandated the formation and funding of “recovery plans” for endangered species, bringing together teams of the best scientific minds to design strategies for averting extinction. It also called for protecting critical habitat — the natural landscape surrounding the breeding, feeding and resting sites of endangered species.
And it did something more. The law required federal agencies to work to ensure that any actions they might fund did not indirectly threaten, or “harm,” the existence of an endangered species.
The Endangered Species Act worked. Thanks to the legislation and the way it has been enforced, today we have the opportunity to watch soaring bald eagles in the lower 48, see gray whales migrate along the California coast and appreciate the grace and speed of the species that I researched, the American peregrine falcon. At present, the act has protected more than 2,000 species.
There are now more than 3,000 pairs of peregrine falcons in North America — a number unthinkable to me in 1975, when so few individuals remained. Today we can still witness the inspirational spectacles of peregrines slicing the air, hurtling in a 200-mile-per-hour dive to the earth.
The odds for such success in the future suddenly don’t look good.
After 52 years of bipartisan efforts working to save species, the Trump administration is pushing mightily to undo the Endangered Species Act, claiming the law is in need of updating. This is the wrong term for what is being proposed, according to biologists — “unraveling” is more like it. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking to remove the regulatory definition of “harm” from the act, and rely instead on the definition of “take.”
“Take” in this instance means actions that harass or kill species directly. “Harm,” however, has been understood in much broader terms, as actions that may incidentally jeopardize a northern spotted owl, or a Palos Verdes blue butterfly, or various populations of wild salmon, and especially as actions that could degrade an endangered species’ habitat.
This simple distinction between direct and indirect threats is crucial. A species is its food, shelter and breeding grounds. From the Endangered Species Act’s inception, the interpretation of “harm” has recognized that. Without it the act’s power to preserve critical habitats — and save or protect plants and animals — could be dissolved.
There is something else missing from the current discussion of upending the act. The Endangered Species Act benefits people far more than most of us realize.
Animals and plants we may consider inconsequential may yet hold promises for our future, in medicine, in agriculture, in our sharing of this Earth. Each living species is a holding tank, a treasure chest of unique genetic material that has evolved within its habitat for thousands of years. Even with a robust Endangered Species Act, scientists believe human activity is extinguishing species at rate that far exceeds what’s natural. Critics of the Endangered Species Act see it as keeping resources from people when it prevents a logging operation or the drilling of an oil well to protect a species. It’s better understood as maintaining biodiversity for people, and for the health and safety of the planet.
Removing the proper definition of “harm” from the Endangered Species Act will mean removing habitat that is essential for a species’ survival.
The rule change will be decided soon. The public has until Monday to comment.
I hope they will, on the side of this visionary law. The Center for Biological Diversity lists the monarch butterfly, the Florida panther, the desert tortoise and seven more at-risk species that right now need habitat protection. To end 50 years of common-sense interpretation of the Endangered Species Act — the pivotal law that brought the peregrine falcon, the fastest animal on Earth, back from extinction — would be a sad day for America.

Hace unos días, un vídeo suyo comenzó a circular con fuerza por las redes sociales, pues la futura ley de bienestar animal impulsada por el Ministerio de Derechos Sociales y Agenda 2030 que se tramita actualmente en el Congreso despertó su enfado. «Legislan ustedes sin contar con los sectores afectados ni con los expertos», lanzó durante su intervención en la Cámara Baja, donde acudió para dar sus apuntes sobre la futura norma.
Gortázar lamentó durante su intervención la forma en la que se ha gestionado la tramitación de la norma, pues considera que no se ha escuchado a los profesionales que más conocimiento podrían haber aportado para elaborarla. Además, afeó que no se diera respuesta a las alegaciones que los expertos presentaron cuando surgió el anteproyecto. Ahora, en una entrevista con ABC, analiza las consecuencias de que el actual proyecto se convierta finalmente en ley.
-Durante su intervención dijo que la ley debería surgir del Ministerio de Agricultura, donde están los expertos. ¿Tiene aval científico?
-No tiene ninguna base científica, pero ninguna. Hay que empezar por una cuestión de concepto, pues en nuestra relación con los animales hay dos ejes o concepciones bastante opuestos: uno es el eje científico del bienestar animal como ciencia y donde además Europa es un líder y España sigue esa corriente; y el otro extremo de ese eje es la visión más animalista, influida por una cuestión sentimental. Y este borrador surge solamente de ese lado, del lado animalista, que es el opuesto al lado científico.
-Los críticos con la norma afean que abarca más ámbitos de los que debería... ¿Está pensada para el campo?
-Probablemente, si la ley la hubieran elaborado los técnicos del Ministerio de Agricultura, donde hay veterinarios y gente con muchísima experiencia en bienestar animal, hubieran sacado otra versión bien distinta. Y si se limitase realmente a lo que parece que está más pensada, que son las mascotas, podría ser admisible. Pero lo que hace es crear una serie de definiciones muy poco claras y distintas a lo que se puede entender en la literatura tanto científica como del mundo del derecho, cuando lo suyo sería hablar de animales de compañía, animales de abasto, animales silvestres... etc. Como no las tenemos, va a generar un montón de problemas.
-¿Es necesaria una ley de este tipo?
-Yo creo que es puramente una cuestión política, de imagen, de venta a un determinado sector de la sociedad que pueda apoyar la idea fundamentalmente por desconocimiento, porque precisamente en todo el mundo el liderazgo en temas de bienestar animal lo lleva Europa sin ninguna duda, y España dentro de Europa como el que más. Por tanto, el bienestar de todos los animales ya está regulado. Pero además hay muchas otras regulaciones que afectan a distintos grupos de animales y que aseguran que en ningún caso pueda haber situaciones de maltrato o similares.
Es más, si este borrador llegase a ley, tal como está redactado entraría en contradicción con otras regulaciones tanto europeas como nacionales y autonómicas que establecen, por ejemplo, la necesidad de protección de determinadas especies que a veces es a costa del control de otras. Estás despreciando unas regulaciones para establecer otras que salen de tu agenda política, pero que no tienen ninguna base.
-¿Por ejemplo?
-Uno clarísimo. La ley establece como prácticamente única herramienta para el control de gatos sin dueño el uso de la captura, esterilización y suelta; es decir, las mal llamadas colonias felinas. Esas colonias felinas pueden puntualmente servir de herramienta para mantener una situación que de otra forma es complicada en algún centro urbano o en algún sitio donde no haya muchos otros remedios. Plantear que eso deba hacerse en núcleos rurales, pequeños, o que deba hacerse también en zonas periféricas de las ciudades donde a veces estás próximo o incluso dentro de un espacio natural protegido, donde lo que quieres es proteger la biodiversidad, que son las lagartijas, ratones, pájaros o insectos... Pues con una colonia de gatos justamente estás alimentando a su enemigo. Hay una contradicción clarísima entre las leyes muy fuertes y muy necesarias que protegen la biodiversidad y esta ley que protege a otro animal. Este otro animal, como es bonito, achuchable y cercano, lo identificamos más próximo a nosotros, y en cambio la lagartija o el roedor es menos simpático. Y en esa balanza no científica, sino sentimental, tomamos una decisión que desde el punto de vista de conservación es catastrófica.
-¿Y como sociedad qué consecuencias puede conllevar?
-La biodiversidad es un valor en sí por muchas razones: por nuestra responsabilidad en el planeta, pero también porque es una fuente de riqueza y de turismo. Potencialmente, quién sabe si de medicamentos o de descubrimientos. ¿Por qué tenemos que perder esa riqueza como sociedad porque una parte de la sociedad haya decidido que es más importante el valor del individuo que el del ecosistema?
-Precisamente también el sector de la conservación manifestó sus temores sobre la ley.
-Es llamativo cómo una carta firmada por más de 800 o 900 científicos que se dedican a la conservación haya tenido muy poco eco, más allá de que nos hayamos referido a ella en determinados foros. No ha recibido respuesta. Claramente, porque de nuevo se trata de una cuestión de competencia entre ministerios y partidos políticos.
-¿Y a qué se puede deber ese silencio?
-Yo creo que a la falta de argumentos, a la falta de una contestación contundente que sea vendible, creíble. Es que no la hay, porque la ciencia demuestra que para la protección de la biodiversidad hace falta tomar una serie de acciones, como controlar las especies invasivas; y muchas de esas acciones se verían dificultadas.
-También ha habido polémica por los perros de caza. ¿Deberían quedar fuera de la ley?
-Yo creo que la ley de verdad se debe limitar a las mascotas, a las que vivan en las casas de las personas y tengan una función fundamentalmente afectivo-recreativa. Todos los animales de trabajo, sean perros de caza, de ganado, o policía, tienen que estar fuera porque es absolutamente inmanejable de otro modo.
-¿Se pondrá en peligro la caza?
-La caza estará en peligro y eso puede derivar en muchas cosas. Primero, en mucha inseguridad, por el riesgo de que todo pueda considerarse maltrato. Imagínate un perro atacado por un jabalí. El cazador va a estar pensando si se considerará maltrato y las complicaciones que le va a traer. Al final, se suman factores que llevan a que cada vez tengamos menos cazadores; y eso supone un problema serio de equilibrio en el ecosistema y de control de determinadas enfermedades en un momento.
-¿Y a otros sectores?
-En general, cómo se tiene a los animales en ciudades no tiene nada que ver con cómo se tienen en el medio rural. No hiperregulemos, porque cuanto más regulamos al final más complicamos la vida a las personas. Y eso al final hace que aún se reste más atractivo a actividades que son necesarias.
-¿La ley tiene algo bueno?
-Yo creo que lo único bueno es que el proyecto de ley ha levantado ampollas en sectores distintos. Es la primera vez que veo tantas coincidencias de opiniones entre el sector de la conservación, el de la caza y el de la ganadería. | 2022-11-28T00:52:56Z | false |
Heineken to create around 1,000 jobs with £40m pub investment | The Independent | https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/heineken-brits-dutch-government-b2744804.html | [

] | Heineken is set to create around 1,000 jobs as part of a major investment plan which will revamp and reopen dozens of pubs across the UK.
The Dutch brewing giant said it will provide a £40 million cash injection into its Star Pubs operation.
It said more than 600 of its 2,400 UK venues will receive investment funds to make improvements over the next year.
Bosses said the move is a “resounding vote of confidence” in the sector despite recent cost increases and pressure on consumer finances.
Works have already started or been completed to reopen 10 pubs so far this year, with further sites that are currently closed earmarked for investment to welcome customers again.
The company reopened 62 of its long-term closed pubs last year, leaving the business with its lowest level of closed venues since 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic hit.
Lawson Mountstevens, Star Pubs’ managing director, said: “Consistent investment – rather than a stop, start approach – and a strategy of creating great locals have been key to helping our pubs weather the storms of the last few years.
“Heineken sees firsthand the value in great British pubs and their ongoing popularity.
“It recognises that Brits love their locals and that well-invested pubs trade better.
“This £40 million inward investment from a Dutch business into UK pubs is a resounding vote of confidence in the future of the sector.
“Even with pressures on disposable income, people are still prioritising a trip to their local, valuing it as an everyday treat and as a way of connecting with their community.”
The boss stressed that local pubs are “growth engines” in the economy but said they have been impacted by a “disproportionate tax burden”.
Mr Mountstevens called for this to be reduced when the Government draws up fresh plans to overhaul the business rates regime of property tax later this year. | 2025-05-04T23:01:00Z | true |

Begoña del Campo, neuropsicóloga: "A los 12 años el cerebro de un niño deja de asociar la voz de los padres al placer, por eso en la adolescencia parecen tan molestos" | La Vanguardia | https://www.lavanguardia.com/magazine/bienestar/20250510/10667929/begona-campo-neuropsicologa-12-anos-cerebro-nino-deja-asociar-voz-padres-placer-adolescencia-parecen-molestos-gvm.html | [

Hasta los 12 años, escuchar la voz de mamá o papá puede ser un bálsamo neurológico para un hijo o hija. Literalmente. Para un niño, oír a sus padres no solo es reconfortante, también es placentero a nivel cerebral. Pero algo cambia radicalmente en la adolescencia. “La voz de los padres activa zonas de placer en el cerebro infantil, asociadas a la dopamina”, explica la neuropsicóloga Begoña del Campo en Formar en Valores. “Eso desaparece al llegar a los 12 o 13 años. Es un cambio brusco, pero perfectamente natural”.
Seguramente la escena es familiar para millones de familias: antes, una llamada desde el salón bastaba para hacer sonreír a un niño y hoy, ese mismo hijo o hija adolescente responde con un gruñido, una mirada indiferente o un: “¿qué?”. Ese cambio de tono no es solo hormonal o de actitud, sino cerebral. “La misma voz que antes provocaba una respuesta positiva, ahora puede generar rechazo. Lo que cambia es la reacción del cerebro”, explica Del Campo. Y no es que te odie, es que está creciendo.
Desde la neuropsicología, este fenómeno tiene una explicación clara y funcional. La adolescencia es una etapa de transición biológica y emocional, diseñada para preparar la independencia. Y parte de ese proceso consiste en aprender a distanciarse de las figuras de apego más fuertes: los padres. “Es un sistema de protección emocional. Si tu hijo de siete años tuviera que irse a la universidad, sería traumático. En cambio, cuando lo hace a los 18, ya no lo soportas tanto... ni él a ti”, dice entre risas Del Campo.
Lejos de ser un fallo del sistema, esta “crisis” es un mecanismo de adaptación. Y entenderlo puede ayudar mucho en casa. “La adolescencia prepara a los hijos para irse... y a los padres para dejarlos ir. Por eso, en lugar de pelear constantemente, conviene recordar que es parte del proceso. Y que pasará”, señala. A veces, comprender la biología detrás del conflicto puede suavizar el impacto emocional.
Muchas veces, los padres interpretan estos cambios como una señal de que han perdido el vínculo con sus hijos. O peor, como una amenaza. Pero no es eso. “No se han vuelto unos monstruos. No han dejado de quererte. Simplemente, su cerebro necesita espacio para construirse a sí mismo”, aclara la experta. Y añade: “Todo está perfectamente armado. Solo hay que saberlo leer”.
Eso no quiere decir que la adolescencia sea fácil. Ni para los hijos, ni para los adultos. Pero tener herramientas para comprender lo que está ocurriendo puede marcar la diferencia. No se trata de renunciar a los límites, sino de acompañar el proceso con un poco más de empatía y paciencia. Del Campo lo resume con claridad: “No es personal, es neuropsicología”.
Al final, todo encaja. La transformación que parece tan dolorosa es, en realidad, un paso necesario. Uno prepara a cada hijo para su vida adulta... y a cada madre o padre para soltar. Así que si tu hija ya no quiere que le cantes antes de dormir o tu hijo se encierra sin decir buenos días, respira. Es el cerebro haciendo su trabajo. | 2025-05-10T12:24:23Z | true |
Indiana high school sports conference facing pressure to end DEI quotas | Fox News | https://www.foxnews.com/sports/indiana-high-school-sports-conference-facing-pressure-over-dei-quotas | [

] | A legal firm and an activist group are pressuring the Indiana High School Athletics Association (IHSAA) board of directors, urging it to get rid of two DEI quotas for board members.
The current criteria for the board's members includes a requirement for two female members and two members who are racial minorities.
"The Board of Directors shall be comprised of nineteen board seats. Twelve board seats shall be filled by any qualified individual (open seats), and seven board seats shall be filled by Two (2) qualified female representatives, Two (2) qualified minorities," the policy states.
Now, the law firm, Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF), and the activist group, Equal Protection Project (EPP), have sent a letter to the IHSAA board of directors, objecting to this criteria and demanding change.
"No one should be denied the opportunity to serve on a public board due to their race or sex. Our Constitution and civil rights law demand that individuals be judged on their character, qualifications, and achievements, not on characteristics they cannot control. IHSAA has a constitutional duty to treat all Board of Director nominees equally under the law," part of the letter reads.
"Race- and sex-based quotas like those used by IHSAA perpetuate stereotypes, patronize the qualified, and undermine the ability of other qualified citizens to serve their communities. We strongly urge this Board to reconsider its use of these unconstitutional quotas."
Pacific Legal Foundation attorney Laura D’Agostino condemned the IHSAA's criteria.
"Public boards should reflect the talents and commitment of all citizens, not arbitrary categories of race or sex. Every individual who wants to step up and serve their community should be encouraged to do so based on what they bring to the table, not held back because of who they are," D'Agostino told Fox News Digital.
PLF and EPP ended the letter by providing a deadline of May 30 for the IHSAA to respond with an agreement to remove those two requirements for its board of directors.
EPP founder William A. Jacobson suggested further legal steps could be taken if the deadline passes with no agreement.
"We hope that IHSAA will do the right thing and voluntarily remedy the discriminatory bylaws provisions, but if it does not, all legal options are on the table," Jacobson told Fox News Digital.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the IHSAA for comment.
Recent executive orders by President Donald Trump have targeted DEI in both public institutions and the private sector, and many states have passed their own laws to prohibit DEI quotas in taxpayer-funded organizations.
Trump's day one executive order, which the GSA is aligning its actions with, directed the federal contracting process to "be streamlined to enhance speed and efficiency, reduce costs, and require Federal contractors and subcontractors to comply with our civil-rights laws."
The order also commanded the Office of Federal Contract Compliance to "immediately cease" promoting "diversity" and any encouragement of federal contractors and subcontractors to engage in affirmative action-like efforts that consider race, color, sex, sexual preference, religion or national origin when making hiring decisions.
Meanwhile, in Indiana, a state bill authored by Republican Sens. Tyler Johnson and Gary Byrne to outlaw "discrimination" in state education, public employment and licensing settings that is "based on a personal characteristic of the person," was signed by Gov. Mike Braun on May 1.
Braun signed an executive order in January to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion in all state agencies and replace it with what he calls "MEI" – merit, excellence and innovation.
Under that executive order, government offices cannot use state funds, property or resources to support DEI initiatives or require job candidates to issue DEI statements. | 2025-05-14T19:41:27Z | false |

] | NEW YORK, May 12 — Buyers of US President Donald Trump’s $TRUMP meme coin are expected to learn Monday if they’ve won an opportunity to dine with the president at his country club outside of Washington, DC on May 22.
The event, which the president promoted on social media as the “most EXCLUSIVE INVITATION in the world,” promises the top 220 holders of the $TRUMP meme coin an invite to a gala dinner with the president, while the top 25 will also enjoy “an ultra-exclusive private VIP reception” with the president as well as a “Special VIP Tour”.
The GetTrumpMemes.com website says that the winners will be ranked by their “time-weighted” $TRUMP holdings, which are calculated from the time the contest was announced on April 23 to the cutoff on May 12. The top 220 “time-weighted” holdings amounted to US$160 million worth of $TRUMP coin as of Friday, according to crypto intelligence firm Inca Digital.
The coins surged to US$75 after Trump announced them over his Inauguration weekend before falling to a low of US$7.50. On Sunday, $TRUMP was trading around US$14.
The top holder of $TRUMP meme coins on the leaderboard on Sunday was a wallet called “SUN” with nearly US$18 million worth of the coin in time weighted holdings. The wallet is owned by Seychelles-based crypto exchange HTX, according to blockchain analysis firm Arkham.
China-born crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun is a member of HTX’s global advisory board, according to his Linkedin profile. HTX didn’t respond to requests for comment on the wallet. Sun declined to comment.
After Trump won the presidency, Sun said he invested a total of US$75 million into the family’s new cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial. In addition to being the single-largest known investor, Sun also became an advisor to the project.
In February, the US Securities and Exchange Commission said it paused its 2023 fraud case against Sun, citing public interest.
The SEC declined to comment.
At number 220 on the leaderboard on Sunday was an anonymous wallet simply known as “Jjj,” which held about US$53,000 worth of time-weighted coins. The terms and conditions of the event noted that Trump may not attend and it could be “cancelled for any reason.”
In January, the Trump Organization announced that the president’s investments, assets and business interests would be held in a trust managed by his children and he would play no role in day-to-day operations or decision making. The family named a prominent attorney, William Burck, as an ethics adviser to “avoid any perceived conflicts of interest”.
On April 24, the Trump Organization subsequently fired Burck, citing his representation of Harvard University in its funding battle with the Trump administration. The company has not named a replacement. Burck did not offer comment.
The White House and the Trump Organization did not respond to requests for comment. In an earlier response to Reuters regarding criticisms by Democratic lawmakers that the meme coin dinner poses conflicts of interest, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said: “President Trump’s assets are in a trust managed by his children. There are no conflicts of interest.”
The current market value of all $TRUMP coins is US$2.74 billion. A company controlled by the Trump family and a second firm together hold 80 per cent of the remaining supply of the meme coins, which are advertised with an image of the president raising his fist in reference to his July assassination attempt.
So far, the entities behind the Trump coin have earned US$320.19 million in fees, including at least US$1.35 million after the dinner announcement, according to blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis.
Some government ethics experts say the $TRUMP meme coin allows anonymous foreign individuals to personally purchase access to Trump, triggering a volley of complaints from Democratic lawmakers to the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
Connecticut Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, ranking member of the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, has opened an inquiry into whether Trump’s crypto enterprises violate government ethics requirements.
Both Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Murphy and Oregon Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley have each introduced bills aimed at ending the ability of presidents and members of Congress to profit off crypto assets. California Democratic Congressman Sam Liccardo introduced companion legislation in the US House.
“The Trump meme coin is the single most corrupt act ever committed by a president,” said Senator Murphy in a statement to Reuters on Friday. “Donald Trump is essentially posting his Venmo for any billionaire CEO or foreign oligarch to cash in some favours by secretly sending him millions of dollars.”
Of particular concern, the lawmakers say, is the way Trump has moved to curb crypto enforcement and ease regulation at the same time as his family stands to benefit financially from the sector. In April, the DOJ dismantled its crypto enforcement unit.
A spokesperson for the DOJ told Reuters: “This Department of Justice will continue to prosecute those who victimise digital asset investors or those who use digital assets in furtherance of crimes.”
Since the $TRUMP meme coin launch three days before the president’s inauguration, returns have favoured large investors. More than 60 large wallets have profited close to US$1.5 billion, with US$48 million in profits occurring after the April dinner announcement, according to reviews by Inca Digital and crypto analytics tracker Bubblemaps as of May 8.
At least two of the largest investors in the $TRUMP contest have made profits in excess of US$10 million each, Inca Digital found, while 15 investors have made more than US$1 million.
Meanwhile, about 600,000 other wallets have lost US$3.87 billion so far, with US$117 million of losses occurring after Trump announced the dinner on social media, Bubblemaps found. The purchases were on the secondary market, meaning Trump’s family collected relatively small amounts of fees.
One of those is Kali, a 27-year-old in Hawaii who plans luxury vacations for high net worth individuals and asked that her last name not be used due to fear of being harassed by others in the crypto industry. She said she spent about US$10,000 on the coin, at an average of US$15 per coin.
In the days leading up to the contest, as the coin’s price began to climb again, she was holding her breath and hoping to break even by the time the contest ends today.
The $TRUMP meme coin is part of the Trump family’s growing array of crypto ventures including the trading platform World Liberty Financial, Trump Media & Technology Group’s new crypto ETFs, a crypto mining operation, American Bitcoin, and a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar called USD1. — Reuters | 2025-05-12T10:29:38Z | true |

] | LONDON, May 1 — Most of us forget where we even left our old phones. Ed Sheeran? He turned his back on his in 2015 — only to be reunited with it years later thanks to a court order.
What followed was less courtroom drama and more emotional deep dive, as the singer-songwriter discovered long-lost texts, forgotten photos, and even inspiration for a new track.
Sheeran described the experience as “such an emotional journey” that it led him to write “Old Phone”, a song set to drop today at 11pm Malaysian time.
In an April 29 Instagram post tagging @teddysoldphone, Sheeran shared a carousel of never-before-seen moments pulled straight from the dusty archives of his old mobile.
Among them: a cute photo of him and now-wife Cherry Seaborn back when they were dating, a wefie with Taylor Swift, and even a shot with former US President Bill Clinton.
Sheeran explained that he shut down the phone in December 2015 and went full email-only for communication.
But during his copyright case over “Thinking Out Loud” — he was accused of copying Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” — a judge ordered him to hand the device over. That moment cracked open a time capsule.
“In the process, I switched on my old phone,” he wrote. “The first message was from my friend (English deejay) Jamal Edwards, who had recently passed away (in 2022).
“The second was from my ex-girlfriend, whom I hadn’t been in contact with for years.
“The third was a family member I haven’t spoken to in a decade. And so on. It felt like a time capsule, a time of life that I was in, and living at that time in 2015.”
It only got more intense from there.
“Turning it on really spun me out,” Sheeran said. “I found myself scrolling through messages and conversations with people who are no longer here.
“I found myself crying at messages to friends who are now dead, whom I won’t get to speak to again.
“I found old photos of me with people I was so close to then, but we’ve lost touch since.”
Some of those memories are now public, thanks to the Instagram account he tagged. Though @teddysoldphone has been quietly uploading pictures since March, it only caught fire after Sheeran linked it from his main account.
Fans were treated to behind-the-scenes snaps, including a 2015 Billboard Music Awards photo featuring Sheeran, Taylor Swift, her then-boyfriend Calvin Harris, and One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan.
“Dribbly drunk,” Sheeran admitted.
Other standout moments? Swift munching on pizza. Harry Styles chauffeuring Sheeran around. A pool-playing night out with the late rapper Mac Miller. “Mac took me round Pittsburgh in 2015, we played a lot of pool and had a really really fun night. Miss him,” Sheeran shared.
And yes, there’s even a shot of Sheeran with Bruno Mars and one with Ellie Goulding — with whom he was once rumoured to have had a fling. That old gossip? Still alive, especially among fans who suspect his 2014 track “Don’t” was about her alleged fling with Horan.
As for that poker game with Bill Clinton? That’s on there too.
One thing’s for sure: Sheeran’s old phone didn’t just carry contacts. It carried a whole era — and now, it’s inspired a brand-new tune. | 2025-05-01T04:27:13Z | true |

Die dafür zuständige Wettbewerbskommission hat im vergangenen Jahr die ersten beiden Untersuchungen dazu abgeschlossen.
In einem Fall tadelte die Wettbewerbskommission (Weko) den französischen Madrigall-Verlag. Dieser missbrauche seine Marktmacht gegenüber der Schweizer Buchhändlerin Payot. Die Kommission verpflichtete Madrigall, Payot den Direktimport von Büchern zu günstigeren Preisen zu ermöglichen.
Eine zweite Untersuchung zum Medizintechnikhersteller Fresenius Kabi stellte die Weko dagegen ein. Die Gruppe habe ihre relative Marktmacht gegenüber Galexis beim Bezug von Trink- und Sondennahrung im Ausland nicht missbraucht, hiess es.
Viele Anzeigen «schwierig zu handhaben»
Die neuen Bestimmungen zur relativen Marktmacht sind mit dem indirekten Gegenvorschlag zur Fair-Preis-Initiative eingeführt worden und seit Anfang 2022 in Kraft. Als «relativ marktmächtig» gilt ein Unternehmen, wenn ein anderes Unternehmen derart von seinen Dienstleistungen oder Produkten abhängig ist, dass dieses keine ausreichenden oder zumutbaren Möglichkeiten zum Ausweichen auf ein anderes Unternehmen hat.
Gemäss dem neu veröffentlichten Jahresbericht der Weko blieb die Anzahl weiterer Anzeigen zu den Bestimmungen zur relativen Marktmacht gering. Aus den acht im Jahr 2024 eingegangenen Meldungen resultierten keine Eröffnungen von Untersuchungen oder Vorabklärungen.
«Wir hatten eine Flut von Anzeigen erwartet, diese ist ausgeblieben», sagte Weko-Präsidentin Laura Melusine Baudenbacher in Bern vor den Medien. Zwar beobachte sie zunehmend, dass sich Unternehmen an die Weko wendeten. Von rund dreissig Anzeigen sei jede zweite aber wegen geringen Informationsgehalts «schwierig zu handhaben».
Griffigeres Kartellgesetz gefordert
Die Weko-Präsidentin plädierte bei der Präsentation des Jahresberichts 2024 für ein «klares und griffiges Kartellgesetz». Derzeit ist im Parlament eine entsprechende Vorlage hängig. Baudenbacher sieht insbesondere im Bereich der Zusammenschlusskontrolle gesetzlichen Verbesserungsbedarf. So soll nicht erst bei Beseitigung des Wettbewerbs eingegriffen werden können.
Ansonsten sieht die Weko-Chefin ihre Behörde auf Kurs. Sie sprach von einer «ordentlichen» Jahresbilanz. «Wir setzen alles daran, Leitentscheide zu neuen Verfügungen zu fällen.»
Angesprochen auf die Zwangsfusion zwischen UBS und Credit Suisse sagte Baudenbacher, dass sich die Weko intensiv mit den Auswirkungen dieser Fusion auseinandergesetzt habe. «Wenn wir Hinweise auf Marktmachtmissbrauch haben, werden wir tätig.» Bis jetzt gebe es aber keine Anzeichen dafür.
Gemäss Weko-Jahresbericht hatte die Behörde bereits im Herbst 2023 festgestellt, «dass die fusionierte UBS neu in einigen Märkten marktmächtig oder möglicherweise marktbeherrschend ist». Im Mai 2024 schloss die Finanzmarktaufsicht (Finma) das kartellrechtliche Zusammenschlusskontrollverfahren von UBS und Credit Suisse ohne Bedingungen, Auflagen und weitere Prüfung ab.
Der Preisüberwacher steht seither «im konstruktiven Dialog» mit der Bank und den anderen zuständigen Behörden. Die regelmässige und enge Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Weko und der Preisüberwachung werde «weiter gepflegt».
Meistens sei die Weko mit ihren Entscheiden erfolgreich, sagte Baudenbacher. Im vergangenen Jahr habe das Bundesgericht nur einen Entscheid der Weko umgekehrt.
Fokus auf öffentlichen Beschaffungen
Patrik Ducrey, Direktor des Weko-Sekretariats, wies auf die zentrale Rolle der Kantone und Gemeinden bei der Förderung des Wettbewerbs hin. «Sie haben es in der Hand, den Wettbewerb zu fördern oder auch zu beeinträchtigen.»
Bund, Kantone und Gemeinden kauften jedes Jahr für über vierzig Milliarden Franken Bauten, Güter und Dienstleistungen. Freihändige Vergaben seien da problematisch und dürften nur die Ausnahme sein. Insgesamt wendeten die öffentlichen Behörden die Gesetze korrekt an.
Die Weko sensibilisiere die kantonalen und kommunalen Beschaffungsstellen seit längerem und werde dies auch weiterhin tun, sagte Ducrey. «Mit einer Ausnahme haben alle Kantone gewünscht, dass wir ihnen ein Update geben, um Submissionsabreden verhindern zu können.» | 2025-04-15T13:13:04Z | true |
Warning issued over common blood pressure drug after labelling error | The Independent | https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/blood-pressure-medication-mislabelled-warning-recall-b2735542.html | [

] | Patients who take a common drug for high blood pressure are being urged to check the medication after its manufacturer reported that a mistake in the strength of the dose had been printed on some packs.
One batch of the medicine Lercanidipine, made by Recordati Pharmaceuticals, is labelled as containing 10mg tablets when it in fact contains 20mg.
The correct strength is printed on the top of the carton and on the blister strips, according to an alert issued by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Patients are being urged to check for the batch number MD4L07 with an expiry date of January 2028 as a “precautionary measure”.
More than 7,700 packs affected by the recall have been distributed, according to the MHRA.
People who have already been prescribed medication from this batch should contact their GP or pharmacist immediately, or call NHS 111 if they cannot be reached.
If speaking to a healthcare professional is not possible, the MHRA advises patients to check the strength of the tablet using the information on the foil of the blister strip.
Those who have been prescribed 10mg should take half a 20mg tablet as a temporary measure until they can speak to their GP or pharmacist.
Lercanidipine is a calcium channel blocker, which works by blocking calcium from entering the heart and blood vessel muscles, helping to relax blood vessels and reduce blood pressure.
Taking too much can lead to a fast or irregular heartbeat, dizziness or sleepiness.
Dr Alison Cave, chief safety officer at MHRA, said: “Patient safety is our top priority. We ask patients to check their medicine packaging and follow our advice.
“Healthcare professionals such as pharmacists are also being asked to stop supplying medicine from the affected batch and to return it to the supplier.
“Please report any suspected adverse reactions via the MHRA’s Yellow Card scheme.” | 2025-04-18T04:18:05Z | true |

Guía de la Feria de Sevilla 2025: fechas, casetas, plano, toros y todo lo que tienes que saber
El Ayuntamiento de Sevilla acaba de hacer el balance del viernes de Feria en el que subraya en líneas generales la «normalidad» de una jornada marcada por una notable afluencia de visitantes y sin incidencias destacadas, consolidando así la tónica de normalidad y buen ambiente que ha caracterizado esta edición, a pesar del elevado número de personas que cada día se dan cita en el real.
En este sentido, el delegado de Fiestas Mayores, Manuel Alés, ha destacado que «estamos muy satisfechos con el desarrollo de esta Feria de Sevilla 2025, que encara ya su recta final con un balance francamente positivo. Ayer viernes fue una jornada con una gran afluencia de público, pero que transcurrió, una vez más, con total normalidad y sin incidencias destacadas, lo que demuestra la eficacia del dispositivo de seguridad y la ejemplaridad del comportamiento ciudadano»
Asimismo, Alés ha querido resaltar los datos de movilidad, «que reflejan un uso masivo del transporte público. Solo en el día de ayer, las líneas especiales de Tussam registraron más de 210.000 viajeros, un 32,5% más que el año pasado, y ya superamos el millón de viajeros acumulados desde el lunes. A esto se suma el incremento del 10% en los desplazamientos en Metro, lo que confirma que los sevillanos y visitantes están apostando por un modelo de feria más sostenible y ordenado».
«Por último, quiero destacar y agradecer la labor de los servicios de limpieza, que están realizando un esfuerzo extraordinario, así como la coordinación entre cuerpos y fuerzas de seguridad, emergencias y servicios municipales, que está siendo clave para que podamos hablar de una feria tranquila, segura y con cifras récord de participación», ha dicho el delegado de Fiestas Mayores.
En cuanto a la seguridad, desde el Centro de Control se han gestionado este viernes un total de 336 incidencias y 95 consultas de antecedentes y otros datos de interés. Sobre las diligencias, se han instruido siete atestados policiales por diferentes asuntos, cinco de ellos por accidentes de circulación con heridos en los que ninguno reviste especial gravedad.
Por otra parte, este viernes se realizaron 23 pruebas de alcoholemia, de las que cuatro fueron positivas, y una prueba de drogas que resultó ser positiva también. Igualmente, se hicieron un total de 19 pruebas de alcoholemia durante el desalojo de carruajes y caballos, de 20:00 a 20:30 horas, resultando todas ellas negativas.
En referencia a la inspección de actividades y establecimientos, se inspeccionaron un total de cuatro establecimientos, casetas y puestos de Feria, no llegándose a suspender en la noche del viernes ninguna actividad de casetas al estar todas cerradas y desalojadas dentro del horario previsto.

Trendyol Süper Lig'in 34. haftasında konuk ettiği Bellona Kayserispor ile 1-1 berabere kalan Corendon Alanyaspor'da teknik direktör Joao Pereira, sahaya iyi oyun yansıttıklarını belirterek, "Bugün bizim açımızdan eksik olan 3 puandı." dedi.
Pereira, maçın ardından düzenlenen basın toplantısında, Samsunspor ve Trabzonspor karşılaşmalarında olduğu gibi bu müsabakaya da iyi başladıklarını söyledi.
Kayserispor maçında iyi başlamanın karşılığında golü bulduklarını anlatan Pereira, "İlk yarının bitimine kadar iyi oynadık. Bu sürede ikinci golü bulup, devre arasına iki farklı girebilirdik. Ancak ikinci yarının başlangıcında Kayserisporlu futbolcunun çok güzel bir şutu vardı. O şutta yapılacak bir şey olmuyor maalesef ve orada golü buldular." dedi.
Galibiyet için birçok pozisyona girdiklerini aktaran Pereira, şunları söyledi:
"Kendi sahamızda kazanmamız gerektiğinin farkındayız. Beraberlik sonrası baskımızı artırmaya çalıştık. Maçın sonlarına doğru da çok tehlikeli pozisyonlara girdik. Cordova'nın, Lima'nın girdiği pozisyonlar aklıma ilk gelenlerden. Maçın son dakikalarına doğru ise Kayseri'nin bir geçiş pozisyonu vardı. Onun haricinde genelde defans yaptılar. Buradan alınan bir puanın onlar için iyi olduğunu düşünüyorum."
Kayserispor karşısında 2 puan kaybettiklerini ancak alınan bir puanla düşme potasının üzerine çıktıklarını ifade eden Pereira, bundan sonraki deplasman maçına 3 puan almak için çıkacaklarını kaydetti.
Pereira, oyunlarının her maçta daha iyiye gittiğini belirtti.
Bugün neredeyse tamamında maçı domine eden takım olduklarının altını çizen Pereira, sözlerini şöyle tamamladı:
"Bugün bizim açımızdan eksik olan 3 puandı. Bu maçta Samsunspor maçında olan şeyler oldu. Örneğin 1-0 öne geçtiğimizde artık avantajı elimize almış oluyoruz ve avantajı elimize aldığımızda o skoru koruyabilmemiz gerekiyor. Topun daha çok bizde kalması gerekiyor. Rakibi yormamız gerekiyor ama bugün maalesef olmadı. Bugün istatistiklere baktım. Daha çok top bizdeydi. Daha çok orta kesmişiz. Daha çok şut atmışız. Daha çok pozisyona girmişiz. Sadece eksik olan ikinci goldü."

] | Government cyber defences have not kept up with the dangerous and evolving threats from hackers, a report from MPs has warned.
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said hostile states and criminals have developed the ability to severely disrupt public services and critical national infrastructure faster than the Government expected.
According to Government estimates, vulnerable “legacy” IT systems make up 28% of all public sector IT, and the PAC report said the Cabinet Office had acknowledged that there was now a significant gap between the cyber threat and the Government’s response to it.
The report comes in the wake of high-profile cyber attacks on UK retailers, including Marks and Spencer and Co-op, incidents which Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Pat McFadden said should be a “wake-up call” for British businesses, as he announced a new £16 million package to boost cyber defences during a cyber security conference earlier this week.
In its report conclusions, the PAC also said there was a shortage in Government of technical cyber skills and experience, cyber security had not been prioritised as a key issue, gaps remained in the Government’s understanding of how resilient public sector IT systems were to attack, and that existing supply chains were complicated to properly secure.
It called on the Cabinet Office to carry out a major audit of IT systems and report back with details on how it plans to fix the range of issues raised.
Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, chairman of the committee, said: “Government departments are beginning to wake up to the serious cyber threat they face.
“It is positive to see independent verification now in place to gain a better picture on critical systems resilience.
“Unfortunately, this has only served to confirm that our battlements are crumbling.
“A serious cyber attack is not some abstract event taking place in the digital sphere.
“The British Library cyber attack is a prime example of the long-lasting cost and disruption that these events can cause.
“Hostile states and criminals have the ability to do serious and lasting harm to our nation and people’s lives.
“If the Government is to meet its own ambition to harden resilience in the wider public sector, a fundamental step change will be required.
“This will involve infusing every top team with the required digital expertise, with cyber and digital specialists at the top level of every department, both management and boards to bring about a change in thinking throughout the Civil Service for greater threat awareness and digital transformation.
“Part of this will be Government finally grasping the nettle on offering competitive salaries for digital professionals, and we were encouraged to hear the Cabinet Office thinking in these terms.
“For too long, Whitehall has been unwilling to offer attractive remuneration for experts who are able to secure high-paid work elsewhere.
“Making sure that the right people are in the right jobs to defend the UK against this serious threat, and reducing the use of expensive contractors at the same time, is clearly sound value for money.
“This is an issue our committee will continue to scrutinise closely.
“It must not take a devastating attack on a critical piece of the country’s infrastructure for defensive action to be taken.”
A Government spokesperson said: “Just this week, we announced action to boost our country’s cyber security, helping to grow the economy and create jobs through the Plan for Change. This includes backing for the rollout of cutting-edge CHERI technology which could prevent up to 70% of the most common cyber attacks.
“Last month we also unveiled details of our Cyber Security and Resilience Bill which will be introduced to Parliament later this year, ensuring our critical national infrastructure and digital economy are better protected and less vulnerable to attack.” | 2025-05-08T23:01:00Z | true |

Una dosis de la vacuna de Pfizer protege frente a las variantes a las personas que tuvieron el Covid-19 | ABC | https://www.abc.es/salud/enfermedades/abci-dosis-vacuna-pfizer-protege-frente-variantes-personas-tuvieron-covid-19-202104301724_noticia.html | [

Una única dosis de la vacuna aumenta la protección contra las variantes del coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, pero solo en aquellas personas que han tenido Covid-19 anteriormente.
Según un estudio que se publica en « Science », la respuesta inmune a las variantes puede ser insuficiente en aquellos que no han sido infectados previamente y solo han recibido una dosis de vacuna
El estudio, realizado por investigadores del Imperial College , Universidad Queen Mary y University College , todos ellos en Londres, ha analizado las respuestas inmunes en los trabajadores sanitarios de tres hospitales del Reino Unido que había recibido la su primera dosis de Pfizer/BioNTech .
De esta forma vieron que aquellos que previamente habían tenido una infección leve o asintomática presentaban una mejor protección frente a las variantes del SARS-Cov-2 de Kent y Sudáfrica, aunque solo hubieran recibido una sola dosis de la vacuna de ARNm.
Sin embargo, los que no había tenido Covid-19 previo, tenían una respuesta inmune menos fuerte, lo que les hacía más sensibles a las nuevas variantes.
«Nuestros hallazgos muestran que las personas que han recibido su primera dosis de vacuna y que no han sido previamente infectadas con SARS-CoV-2 , no están completamente protegidas contra las variantes circulantes. Este estudio destaca la importancia la vacunación completa, con la segunda dosis, para lograr la protección completa», destaca Rosemary Boyton, del Imperial College de Londres, quien dirigió la investigación.
El estudio es muy completo porque ha analizado muestras de sangre para determinar la presencia y los niveles de inmunidad contra la cepa original de SARS-CoV-2, pero también frente a las variantes de Kent (B.1.1.7) y Sudáfrica (B.1.351).
Además de anticuerpos, las proteínas en forma de Y que se adhieren al virus y ayudan a bloquear o neutralizar la amenaza, los investigadores también se centraron en dos tipos de glóbulos blancos: células B, que recuerdan el virus, y células T, que ayudan a la memoria de las células B y reconocen y destruyen las células infectadas con coronavirus.
Así descubrieron que, después de una primera dosis de vacuna, la infección previa se asociaba con una respuesta de células T, células B y anticuerpos neutralizantes , lo que podría proporcionar una protección eficaz contra el SARS-CoV-2, así como las variantes de Kent y Sudáfrica.
Sin embargo, en las personas que no habían pasado el Covid-19, una sola dosis de la vacuna generó niveles más bajos de anticuerpos neutralizantes contra el SARS-CoV-2 y las variantes , lo que los deja potencialmente vulnerables a la infección y resalta la importancia de la segunda dosis de vacuna.
El equipo solo analizó estos dos variantes pero creen que es posible que los hallazgos sean aplicables a otras variantes, como la de Brasil (P.1) e India (B.1.617 y B.1.618).
El profesor Boyton comentó: «Nuestros datos muestran que la infección natural por si sola puede no proporcionar suficiente inmunidad contra las variantes», señala. Boyton. Y añade que es probable que el refuerzo con una sola dosis en personas «sí lo haga».
Para el profesor del Imperial College, Danny Altmann, estudio nos recuerda la necesidad de estar atentos a la amenaza de las variantes debido a que hay muchas personas que solo han recibido una dosis.
« Nuestro estudio ofrece tranquilidad pero también una advertencia . Hemos demostrado que las vacunas actuales ofrecen cierta protección contra algunas variantes. Sin embargo, las personas que han recibido solo el primer ciclo de una vacuna muestran una respuesta inmune más débil. Debemos asegurarnos de que el programa mundial de vacunación se implemente», concluye Áine McKnight, de la Universidad Queen Mary de Londres. | 2021-04-30T15:24:06Z | true |
Huge performance from Jamal Poplar not enough as South West Slammers’ men’s side lose to Lakeside Lightning | The West Australian | https://thewest.com.au/news/bunbury-herald/huge-performance-from-jamal-poplar-not-enough-as-south-west-slammers-mens-side-lose-to-lakeside-lightning-c-18426488 | [] | [

] | Another huge performance from Jamal Poplar was not enough to drive South West Slammers’ men’s side to their first victory of the season, with the side going down to Lakeside Lightning by 16 points at Eaton Recreation Centre on Thursday.
Despite their star import scoring 33 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, dishing out four assists and blocking a pair of shots, the Slammers were on the wrong end of a 100-84 result which saw them suffer their third loss of the NBL1 West season.
The side now sit in 13th on the 14-team competition’s ladder, being one of only two teams without a win so far this season.
Having struggled in the first two games, Poplar’s fellow import Calvin Whipple headed for half-time with only one point but was able to find some rhythm in the second half to produce a 12-point, five-rebound, four-assist stat-line.
Co-captain Devan Craig also continued his strong start to the season, drilling three of his four three-point shots on his way to 21 points.
But big performances from Lakeside import Isaiah Lewis (27 points, seven rebounds) and former NBL players Corey Shervill (22 points, seven rebounds) and Joshua Davey (19 points, 13 rebounds) helped the visitors come away with their first win of the campaign.
The Slammers led for much of the game’s first three quarters but were ultimately let down by their interior defence, which allowed the visitors to score 56 points inside the keyway.
Trailing by only two points in the early stages of the last quarter, the Slammers were made to pay for a sloppy final frame where they threw the ball away eight times while scoring only 11 points.
After a see-sawing first half where the Lightning were able to respond any time the hosts threatened to break away, the Slammers took a five-point lead into the main break.
Craig scored nine points in the opening term before Poplar did it all in an 18-point second quarter, bullying Lakeside’s defence with sustained attacks on the rim and hitting a three-pointer when they backed off him.
A third-quarter highlight came when Craig connected with Pharell Keats (five points, five rebounds, four assists) for an alley-oop dunk, but a pair of massive dunks from AJ Wilson (12 points) saw the Lightning take the lead in the latter stages of the term.
As the game threatened to slip away from the Slammers as the quarter came to a close, it was Whipple who stepped up, drilling his third long shot of the term from well beyond the arc and scoring at the basket following a nice in-and-out move on the very next possession. | 2025-04-21T18:00:00Z | false |

Taze kokoreç, hazırlanışı ve pişirilmesi zahmetli bir yiyecek olduğundan, dondurulmuş haliyle mutfaklara girmesi büyük bir konfor sunar. Önceden temizlenmiş, baharatlanmış ve porsiyonlanmış şekilde paketlenmesi, hem zaman tasarrufu sağlar hem de hijyenik açıdan güven verir. Bu sayede kokoreç severler, sokak lezzetini ev ortamında kısa sürede ve kendi damak zevklerine uygun şekilde hazırlama imkânı bulur.
Ayrıca, dondurulmuş kokoreçin yılın her döneminde erişilebilir olması da büyük bir avantajdır; mevsimsel veya bölgesel sınırlamalara takılmadan tüketilebilir. Uzun raf ömrü sayesinde israfı önlerken, gerektiğinde hızlıca sofraya gelmesiyle de misafir ağırlamalarında kurtarıcı olabilir. Dondurulmuş olarak satılması, ürünün bozulmadan ve besin değerini kaybetmeden saklanmasını sağladığı gibi, evde kokoreç pişirme deneyimini çok daha zahmetsiz ve keyifli hale getirir.
DONDURULMUŞ KOKOREÇ NASIL PİŞİRİLİR?
Dondurulmuş kokoreç tarifinde, hem lezzetini korumak hem de hijyen açısından sağlıklı bir sonuç elde etmek için dikkatli adımlar izlemek gerekir. İlk olarak, kokoreci doğrudan yüksek ateşte pişirmeye başlamadan önce buzluktan çıkardıktan sonra oda sıcaklığında ya da buzdolabı bölümünde yavaşça çözülmesine izin vermek önemlidir. Bu, içinin donuk kalmamasını ve dışının yanmamasını sağlar. Acele ediliyorsa, mikrodalgada "defrost" ayarıyla da çözdürülebilir ama bu dondurulmuş kokoreç pişirme yöntemi, bazı aroma kayıplarına neden olabilir. Çözülen kokoreç, önceden ısıtılmış bir tavaya ya da sac tavaya alınarak orta ateşte pişirilmeye başlanır.
Tavaya çok az sıvı yağ ya da tereyağı eklenebilir ama çoğu zaman kokoreç kendi yağıyla pişmeye yeterlidir. Kokoreç, sürekli karıştırılarak ve çevrilerek pişirilmelidir; böylece hem eşit ısınır hem de dışı kıtır, içi yumuşak bir doku kazanır. Pişirme sırasında kokorece kimyon, kekik, pul biber ve isteğe bağlı olarak tuz eklenerek aroma yoğunlaştırılır. Baharatların kokorece geçmesi için son aşamalarda eklenmesi önerilir. Ayrıca, eğer kokoreç bütün değil de doğranmış haldeyse, pişirme süresi daha kısa olacak ve lezzet daha hızlı oturacaktır. Ortalama olarak, çözülmüş bir dondurulmuş kokoreç 10-15 dakika içinde pişmeye hazır hale gelir.
Pişirme esnasında tavanın kapağı kapatılmaz; böylece fazla nem buharlaşır ve kokoreçin çıtır bir yapıya kavuşması sağlanır. Son aşamada, dilimlenmiş kokoreç sıcak sıcak servis edilir; ister lavaş veya ekmek arasında, ister tabakta soğan, domates ve yeşillik eşliğinde sunulabilir. Bu yöntemle hazırlanan dondurulmuş kokoreç, neredeyse taze pişmiş kokoreç lezzeti sunar ve pratikliğiyle sofraların vazgeçilmezi haline gelir. Dondurulmuş kokoreçin yanında servis edilecek garnitür ve içecekler, bu eşsiz sokak lezzetinin tadını daha da zenginleştirir. En klasik eşlikçi elbette ki taze ve çıtır bir ekmektir; içine doldurularak yapılan kokoreç sandviçleri hem doyurucu hem de pratik bir seçenektir.
Buna ek olarak ince doğranmış soğan, sumak, maydanoz ve limonla hazırlanan ekşi ve ferahlatıcı bir salata, kokorecin yoğunluğunu dengeler ve damakta temizlik hissi yaratır. Acı sevenler için turşu biber veya közlenmiş acı biber gibi yan lezzetler de oldukça iyi gider. Ayrıca, domates, biber ve köz patlıcandan oluşan hafif köz sebzeler veya acılı ezme gibi mezeler, tabakta sunulan kokoreçle harika bir uyum yakalar. İçki olarak ayran, gazoz ya da soğuk bira tercih edilebilir; ayran, ağızda dengeleyici bir ferahlık sağlarken, gazlı içecekler yağlı dokuyu bastırır. Sunulacak her detay, hem lezzet uyumunu hem de yemeğin keyfini katlayacak tamamlayıcı unsurlar oluşturur.
DONDURULMUŞ KOKOREÇ PİŞİRMENİN PÜF NOKTASI
Dondurulmuş kokoreç pişirme tekniği püf noktası, hem hijyenik hem de lezzetli bir sonuç elde edebilmek için doğru çözdürme ve pişirme adımlarını eksiksiz uygulamaktan geçer. En önemli püf noktalardan biri, kokoreci kesinlikle doğrudan donmuş haliyle yüksek ateşe maruz bırakmamaktır; çünkü bu yöntem dışını yakarken içinin donuk kalmasına ve eşit pişmemesine neden olur. Bunun yerine, kokorecin yavaş yavaş çözülmesine olanak tanımak gerekir. En ideal çözdürme yöntemi, kokoreci bir gece önceden buzdolabı bölümüne alıp orada bekletmektir. Bu sayede hem gıda güvenliği korunur hem de dokusu bozulmaz. Eğer hızlıca pişirilmesi gerekiyorsa, oda sıcaklığında bekletmek veya mikrodalgada “defrost” modunu dikkatlice kullanmak alternatif çözümler olabilir. Ancak mikrodalgada çözdürme sırasında etin bazı kısımları pişebilir, bu da homojen bir sonuç almayı zorlaştırır.
Çözülen kokoreçin lezzetini artırmanın püf noktalarından biri de, pişirme esnasında tavanın sıcaklığını doğru ayarlamaktır. Çok yüksek ateş, kokoreçin dışını sertleştirip kurutabilir; bu yüzden orta ateşte, sık sık karıştırarak pişirmek gerekir. Kokoreç, kendi yağıyla piştiği için ek yağ kullanmaya gerek olmayabilir, ancak tereyağı veya çok az zeytinyağı eklemek lezzetini daha da derinleştirebilir. Baharat kullanımı da kokorecin tadını belirleyen önemli bir detaydır. Özellikle kimyon, kekik ve pul biber kokorecin karakteristik kokusunu bastırmadan aroma katarken, tuz ise en son aşamada eklenmelidir; erken tuzlama, etin suyunu kaybetmesine neden olabilir. Bir başka püf nokta, pişirme sırasında tavanın kapağını kapatmamak ve buharlaşmayı sağlayarak kokorecin çıtırlaşmasını desteklemektir.
Dondurulmuş kokoreç, pratikliğiyle öne çıksa da bazı potansiyel zararları da göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Öncelikle, işlenmiş ve dondurulmuş gıdalar arasında yer aldığından, üretim aşamasında eklenen katkı maddeleri, koruyucular ya da aşırı miktarda tuz gibi içerikler uzun vadede sağlık açısından olumsuz etkiler yaratabilir. Tansiyon, kalp ve böbrek rahatsızlığı olan bireylerin bu tür yüksek sodyum içeren ürünleri kontrollü tüketmesi önemlidir. Ayrıca, bazı dondurulmuş kokoreçler önceden pişirilmiş ya da marinasyonla hazırlanmış olabilir; bu durum da ürünün trans yağ, doymuş yağ ya da ağır baharat içeriğini artırabilir.
Uzun süre derin dondurucuda bekleyen ürünler, doğru saklanmadığı takdirde lezzet ve besin değeri kaybına uğrayabilir, hatta mikroorganizma riski doğurabilir. Çözdürülüp tekrar dondurulan kokoreçlerde ise gıda güvenliği ciddi biçimde tehlikeye girer. Son olarak, kokoreç sindirimi zor ve yüksek yağ içeriğine sahip bir sakatat ürünü olduğu için mide rahatsızlığı olan kişilerde hazımsızlık ya da reflü gibi şikâyetlere yol açabilir. Bu nedenle, dondurulmuş kokoreç tüketirken porsiyon kontrolü yapmak ve güvenilir markaları tercih etmek sağlık açısından daha güvenli bir yaklaşım olacaktır. | 2025-04-30T09:07:20Z | true |
How to get 8.5pc interest on £100k (but there’s a catch) | The Telegraph | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/banking/savings-accounts/how-interest-100k-catch/ | [

] | After four years of rising, interest rates are now quickly falling, leaving savers rushing to lock in good rates while they still can.
Investment platforms hungry to attract new customers are offering high “teaser” rates, with one offering 8.5pc – double the official Bank Rate – on cash balances up to £100,000.
There is a catch: you only get the high rate for three months before it drops back. But that still means you can make thousands of pounds if you’re savvy enough.
IG, an investing website best known for high-risk spread betting and “contract-for-difference” trading, is offering customers 8.5pc interest until August if they open an Isa, Sipp or general investment account before May 31. That means you could earn £2,489 in interest payments on £100,000 of savings from now until August.
The rate being offered is double the current Bank of England Base Rate of 4.25pc, after the Monetary Policy Committee voted to reduce the headline rate by 0.25pc last week.
By comparison, stockbroker AJ Bell, pays 2.75pc interest on the first £10,000 held in cash on its Isas. This rises to 4.0pc on balances over £100,000.
Sarah Coles, head of personal finance at stockbroker Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “You would need to be a super-keen switcher to make the most of it, and you need to be honest with yourself about whether you’re the kind of person to get round to a switch immediately.
“If there’s a risk you neglect it after the rate drops, you could end up unwinding the benefit of a short-term boost.”
If you open an Isa, you need to consider the impact on your overall Isa allowance, and the fact it will mean you can invest less in an Isa wrapper during this tax year.
But is the deal too good to be true – and are there other options to make your savings work harder for you?
Are you eligible for the offer?
You are eligible for the offer if you are a new IG client and have never previously placed a first trade in any account on the platform. You must then place a trade from now until August 31 and leave it open until the end of the period.
How do you sign up?
To take advantage of the offer, customers need to open an Isa, Sipp or general investment account with the platform and make an initial investment before May 31.
In order to receive the 8.5pc interest until August, you need to have an open trade through your account, that is, buy shares or another kind of investment. There are no conditions on how large the trade needs to be.
You can sign up via the platform’s website or by downloading the app.
How is interest paid?
The 8.5pc interest on your investment is paid at the end of each month into your account to gain further interest on.
However, it’s worth noting that interest won’t be paid on any cash over the value of £100,000, and after the end of August, the rate drops to the match the Bank of England’s Bank Rate (currently 4.25pc).
You also need to remember that the rate for the first three months is variable, set to double whatever the Bank Rate is. So if the Bank votes to cut interest rates again before September, the interest you earn will also fall.
How much can you earn?
How much you earn in interest during the promotional period depends on how much you put into your account and when.
For example, at the current rate being offered, if you deposit £20,000 today, you will receive £498 in interest until the end of the promotion period.
But remember, the rate during the promotion is variable. So if the Bank of England votes to cut interest rates again before September, the amount you receive from your investment will reduce.
What happens after the promotion period?
After the promotion period ends on August 31, the rate switches a variable rate based on the Bank of England’s Bank Rate. With more rate cuts expected this year – consultancy Oxford Economics expects two more cuts in the second half of 2025, for instance – the interest payments you receive are likely to fall.
We calculated that if you deposited £100,000 today, earning 8.5pc until 31 August you would make £2,489 in interest.
If you then kept that money invested in the account for the following 12 months, you would earn £4,441.64 if the rate stays at 4.25pc.
However, if the central bank cuts its headline rate to 4pc or even 3.5pc, which some analysts expect to be the case by the end of the year, your interest payments would fall to £4,175.56 and £3,645.22, respectively.
Remember that firms like IG, which specialise in high-risk trading, are offering you high interest rates in the hope that you go on to become a regular user of their other services.
IG’s website admits that 71pc of its customers “lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs”. These kinds of products work very differently to traditional stock market investments – approach with extreme caution.
Could you earn more elsewhere?
Once the initial three-month promotional period is over, you have the option to remove your money from the platform and place it elsewhere.
At this point, you may be tempted to look around and see whether there are any more attractive deals available.
For example, the best rate on the market for an easy access cash Isa is currently 4.8pc offered by Tembo Money, according to Savings Data. Although remember that you have an annual Isa allowance of £20,000 tax-free.

Eine Deradikalisierung der Partei ist davon nicht zu erwarten. | Auch norddeutsche CDUler wollen die AfD immer mehr in den politischen Alltag einbinden. Eine Deradikalisierung der Partei ist davon nicht zu erwarten.
Mathias Middelberg, Vorsitzender der Landesgruppen Niedersachsen aus Osnabrück, unterstützt den Kurswechsel, bringt aber kein neues Argument ein. Er schlägt vor, der AfD künftig Ausschussvorsitze im Bundestag zuzugestehen, um zu verhindern, dass sie ihren „Opferstatus“ weiter ausbaut.
Gegenüber der Neuen Osnabrücker Zeitung äußert Middelberg, die AfD sei allein durch eine „erfolgreiche Politik“ bei Themen wie Asyl oder Bürgergeld kleinzukriegen. Dabei ignoriert er, dass sich die CDU gerade bei diesen Themen den unsozialen Positionen der AfD annähert, wodurch deren Ressentiments legitimiert erscheinen könnten. Middelberg übersieht – wie andere in der CDU – die zur DNA der AfD gehörende Opferinszenierung, ein Merkmal, das sie mit rechtsextremen Parteien teilt.
Auch Johann Wadephul will die AfD nicht von Ausschussvorsitzen ausschließen. Diese Ausgrenzung ermögliche es der größten Oppositionspartei im Bundestag, ihren „Märtyrerstatus“ zu pflegen, erklärte der stellvertretende CDU/CSU-Fraktionsvorsitzende aus dem schleswig-holsteinischen Wahlkreis Rendsburg-Eckernförde gegenüber dem Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland.
Verlust an politischer Relevanz
Wadephul, der auch die CDU-Landesgruppe Schleswig-Holstein leitet, scheint wie Middelberg unbeeindruckt davon, dass der Verfassungsschutz Teile der AfD als rechtsextrem einstuft. Bereits 2021 erkannte eine noch nicht veröffentlichte Analyse des Bundesamtes für Verfassungsschutz „tatsächliche Anhaltspunkte“ für verfassungsfeindliche Bestrebungen der AfD.
Diese CDU-Schwergewichte aus dem Norden ignorieren zudem Analysen, die zeigen, wie konservative Parteien ihren liberal-konservativen Wertekanon zugunsten eines radikal-konservativen Kurses aufgeben und dadurch an politischer Relevanz verlieren. Davor warnt unter anderem Thomas Biebricher, Professor für Politische Theorie an der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main.
Die AfD macht aus dieser Strategie der Zersetzung keinen Hehl: Auch um den internen Konflikt zu schüren, erklärte bereits 2024 der niedersächsische AfD-Landtagsfraktionsvorsitzende Klaus Wichmann, die CDU müsse ihr „konservatives Herz“ wiederentdecken, um gemeinsam eine „große konservative Kraft“ im Parlament zu bilden. Diese Selbstverortung als „konservativ“ vertritt offenbar auch der AfD-Bundestagsabgeordnete Kurt Kleinschmidt. Der schleswig-holsteinische AfD-Vorsitzende betont ebenfalls, dass die AfD zu Verhandlungen mit der CDU bereit sei.
Eine solche rechts-konservative Allianz aus Union und AfD wird zunehmend von konservativen Politikwissenschaftlern und Publizisten diskutiert. Nur so sei eine Politik ohne SPD und Grüne umsetzbar, wie es die Mehrheitsverhältnisse nach der letzten Bundestagswahl ermöglicht hätten. Die Geschichte zeigt jedoch, dass die Einbindung von Antidemokraten diese nicht deradikalisierte. | 2025-04-27T10:00:00Z | true |
Brewing giant to create around 1,000 jobs by reopening closed pubs across the UK | The Independent | https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/heineken-uk-pubs-reopen-investment-b2744765.html | [

] | Heineken is set to create around 1,000 jobs as part of a major investment plan which will revamp and reopen dozens of pubs across the UK.
The Dutch brewing giant said it will provide a £40 million cash injection into its Star Pubs operation.
It said more than 600 of its 2,400 UK venues will receive investment funds to make improvements over the next year.
Bosses said the move is a “resounding vote of confidence” in the sector despite recent cost increases and pressure on consumer finances.
Works have already started or been completed to reopen 10 pubs so far this year, with further sites that are currently closed earmarked for investment to welcome customers again.
The company reopened 62 of its long-term closed pubs last year, leaving the business with its lowest level of closed venues since 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic hit.
Lawson Mountstevens, Star Pubs’ managing director, said: “Consistent investment – rather than a stop, start approach – and a strategy of creating great locals have been key to helping our pubs weather the storms of the last few years.
“Heineken sees firsthand the value in great British pubs and their ongoing popularity.
“It recognises that Brits love their locals and that well-invested pubs trade better.
“This £40 million inward investment from a Dutch business into UK pubs is a resounding vote of confidence in the future of the sector.
“Even with pressures on disposable income, people are still prioritising a trip to their local, valuing it as an everyday treat and as a way of connecting with their community.”
The boss stressed that local pubs are “growth engines” in the economy but said they have been impacted by a “disproportionate tax burden”.
Mr Mountstevens called for this to be reduced when the Government draws up fresh plans to overhaul the business rates regime of property tax later this year. | 2025-05-04T23:02:33Z | true |

Contributor: Voice of America made the U.S. a superpower. Now Trump has surrendered | Los Angeles Times | https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2025-05-14/voice-of-america-pbs-npr-trump | [
"Boyah J. Farah"
] | [] | Before I became an American citizen, I knew America.
I remember sitting beneath Mogadishu’s blue sky, under the skeleton of an acacia tree, watching pigeons soar low and high as boys chased a ball, their laughter carried by the wind while dust rose and danced above their heads. Somalia’s civil war had not yet begun, and the world still made sense. Voice of America was my favorite radio station, the voice of a beloved, diverse nation.
In the late 1980s, before war marched into our lives and destroyed everything, my older sister was obsessed with Michael Jackson’s song “Thriller.” Voice of America played it repeatedly, and though I secretly enjoyed the song, I wouldn’t dare let her catch me nodding along because I was a boy: She loved music, singing and dancing, while I admired military men in green uniforms. But Voice of America broke through all that, and we learned another story was possible.
Years later, when I became a student at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell, that voice of publicly supported media followed me: National Public Radio became my favorite radio station. Helping me refine my accent and deepen my understanding of the language, it helped me learn not only the language, but also the rhythm of American thought, its debates, its heartache, its humor.
Public media has long been America’s greatest superpower, and its influence long the envy of other nations. But the Trump administration has now surrendered to America’s enemies, killing off public media and letting Russia and China take over.
In 2024, I met a wealthy man in Somalia — a man blessed with two houses, two wives and children.
As I stepped into his house with him, I remarked: “This is great. You’re living your best life.”
“I have another identical house with my younger wife,” he added, pride swelling in his voice. As he spoke, I noted the Toyota Land Cruiser, my favorite vehicle, parked in the courtyard of his home. “Word,” I responded, absorbing the sight. No man like him lives in Boston, where I spent most of my life. We struggle with 9-to-5 jobs, and for many in the U.S., even getting married and buying a home is a stretch, much less imagining two marriages and two homes supported by one breadwinner.
As we sat outside in the warm Somali sun, he turned to me.
“Do you think I can go to America?” he asked me. “I’d like to go to California. I’ve heard so much about it on Voice of America when I was growing up learning English.”
That’s the power that the U.S. used to project: persuading people around the world that the U.S. had everything figured out, even selling the American dream to people who were living successful lives elsewhere. The radio network reached 300 million people globally.
As the man talked of trying to upgrade his impressive life to an even more lavish one in the U.S., I judged him. Here he was living in wealth and comfort, but believing in America as a beacon of hope, a land of opportunity, where beauty and prosperity dance together under the American flag, fluttering in pristine air over manicured green lawns.
Voice of America is part of this grand storytelling machine. Influence is more powerful than war. War destroys, breeds enmity and stirs resentment, but storytelling exerts lasting control by changing how people think. That is what made America so attractive and influential.
But America’s standing has been in decline, through decades of feckless foreign policy. Eliminating institutions like Voice of America and the Public Broadcasting Service will only accelerate this downfall. The most beautiful country in the world does not thrive on its war machine; it thrives on the power of its story.
Now, in 2025, as America under President Trump threatens to dismantle the very media that tells its story to the world, I feel something strange moving in my belly. Once public radio is murdered, much of America’s storytelling dies with it. And when that happens, the dream — the one that compels boys and girls from all over the world to risk everything just to come to America — dies too. America will feel that loss, and a generation of talent will flock to rival nations instead.

Deadly E. coli outbreak linked to lettuce hit 15 states. The government chose to keep it secret | The Independent | https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/romaine-lettuce-e-coli-outbreak-b2735555.html | [

] | A deadly E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce ripped through 15 states at the end of last year, but the Food and Drug Administration didn’t publicly disclose it, according to a report.
The outbreak was linked to the death of one person and hospitalized 36 people in November, including a 9-year-old boy who nearly died of kidney failure.
An internal report obtained by NBC News revealed that the agency did not name the produce company involved in the outbreak and they did not share information with the public about it.
“There were no public communications related to this outbreak,” the report said, and added that the company in question “was not named during this outbreak because there was no product remaining in commerce.”
Data connected 89 cases across 15 states and concluded that romaine lettuce was the source of the outbreak, the Food and Drug Administration’s report concluded.
Questions are now being asked about why the agency decided to keep the outbreak quiet – and critics have pointed out that many employees responsible for distributing information to the public about foodborne illnesses recently lost their jobs in the Trump administration’s purge of the federal government.
“We no longer have all the mechanisms in place to learn from those situations and prevent the next outbreak from happening,” Taryn Webb, who led the agency’s public engagement division for human foods until she lost her job in the sweeping cuts this month, told NBC News.
“It is disappointing, but with 20,000 employees at Health and Human Services being fired, investigating, and reporting on outbreaks and alerting the public to the cause is clearly not a priority for this administration,” food safety attorney William Marler said.
“If the gutted CDC and FDA can no longer do the job, we will step up to inform and protect the public – so much for ‘Make America Healthy Again,’” he added.
Officials are not required by law to publish information about all known outbreaks of foodborne illnesses and in some cases, the agency may decide to hold back on publishing information when the cause is still unknown.
“The FDA names firms when there is enough evidence linking an outbreak to a firm and there is actionable advice for consumers, as long as naming the firm is not legally prohibited,” a spokesperson told NBC News in a statement. “By the time investigators had confirmed the likely source, the outbreak had already ended and there was no actionable advice for consumers.”
The Independent has contacted the Food and Drug Administration for further comment.
But food safety advocates argue that the agency’s response is not good enough. “It is disturbing that FDA hasn’t said anything more public or identified the name of a grower or processor,” Frank Yiannas, who was the agency’s deputy commissioner of food policy and response from 2018 to 2023, told the outlet. He added that the agency has shifted toward greater transparency in recent years when it comes to disclosing information about large-scale outbreaks.
“People have a right to know who’s selling contaminated products,” Sandra Eskin, a former official at the U.S. Agriculture Department, added.
Cases started popping up across Missouri and Indiana in November. The strain was identified as a particularly dangerous one – E. coli 0157: H7. The rare strain can result in organ damage and even death in some exceptional cases.
High school students living in Missouri’s St. Louis County were affected after eating salad at a school event. Families reported that their children were suffering from violent stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea and vomiting.
In Indiana, the same strain almost killed 9-year-old Colton George, who woke up doubled over in pain. He was hospitalized for two weeks, including on his 10th birthday, after developing hemoltyic uremic syndrome. He was put on round-the-clock dialysis. George still suffers from chronic stomach pain and fatigue, his family told NBC News.
The E. coli outbreaks in both states are linked by the same genetic sequencing, according to a lawsuit filed by the George family.
Outbreaks also occurred in Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wisconsin, the Food and Drug Administration’s report said.
Food safety law firm Marler Clark has filed a suit against Taylor Farms, one of the largest producers of salads and fresh vegetables in the U.S., and alleges that’s where the tainted lettuce originated.
Taylor Farms denied the allegation in a statement to NBC News. “We don’t believe Taylor Farms was the source of the referenced recent E. coli outbreaks, based on information collected during thorough third-party investigations and robust food safety controls,” the company said in a statement.
The Independent has reached out to Taylor Farms for further comment.
Nine other lawsuits argue in court papers that Taylor Farms sold “defective and unreasonably dangerous” produce, NBC News reports. | 2025-04-18T05:15:26Z | true |

17.04.25, 07:53 Uhr: Weiter Unruhe um Spurs-Trainer
Auch vor dem Rückspiel bei der Eintracht reißen die Berichte um eine Trennung von Spurs-Trainer Ange Postecoglou nicht ab. Neben anderen Medien berichtet das Magazin "FourFourTwo", dass der Coach auch trotz eines möglichen Sieges in der Europa League im Sommer seinen Job verlieren könnte. Bei einem Ausscheiden gegen die Eintracht könnte die Entlassung sogar bereits am Freitag vonstatten gehen, heißt es, und die Nachfolge bereits Fahrt aufnehmen, so das Magazin. Topfavorit sei nun Thomas Frank, Trainer von Brentford, der aber eine Ablösesumme von um die zehn Millionen Pfund kösten würde.
17.04.25, 07:27 Uhr: Krösche: Vergleichbar mit Barcelona-Sieg
Für Sportvorstand Markus Krösche wäre ein Weiterkommen gegen Tottenham vergleichbar mit dem Sieg gegen Barcelona auf dem Weg zum Europa-Leauge-Sieg 2022, sagte er im Interview bei RTL. "Tottenham hat eine sehr, sehr gute Mannschaft, alle Verletzten sind zurück. Man darf sich von der Liga-Platzierung nicht blenden lassen. Sie haben hohe individuelle Qualität. Von daher wäre es ähnlich einzuschätzen wie damals nach Barcelona". Im Hinspiel habe die Eintracht am Ende "vielleicht etwas glücklich" den Punkt geholt, so Krösche. "Wir müssen am Donnerstag alle zusammen im Stadion über uns hinauswachsen", appellierte der Vorstand und fügte an: "Die Europa League ist ein Stück weit unser Wettbewerb, in dem wir uns extrem wohlfühlen."
17.04.25, 07:17 Uhr: Eintracht muss Statistik verbessern
Vor dem Europa-League-Rückspiel gegen Tottenham am Donnerstagabend trat die Eintracht 20 Mal bereits in europäischen Wettbewerben gegen Teams aus England an, namentlich gegen West Ham United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Burnley, Chelsea, Nottingham, Newcastle und eben Tottenham. Die Bilanz ist dabei noch ein wenig ausbaufähig. Sechsmal gingen die Hessen als Sieger vom Platz, sechsmal gab es ein Unentschieden, achtmal verloren die Hessen. Der Donnerstagabend wäre also auch eine gute Möglichkeit, ein wenig an dieser Statistik zu schrauben. Hier gibt es alles Wissenswerte zur Partie:
16.04.25, 21:10 Uhr: Tottenham ohne Kapitän Son
Tottenham Hotspur muss im Viertelfinal-Rückspiel der Europa League bei Eintracht Frankfurt am Donnerstag auf Kapitän Heung-min Son verzichten. Der Ex-Bundesligaprofi (HSV, Leverkusen) fällt mit einer Fußverletzung aus und ist nicht mit nach Frankfurt gereist. "Er kämpft seit einigen Wochen mit Fußproblemen. Gestern hat er versucht zu trainieren, aber es hat nicht geklappt", sagte Spurs-Trainer Ange Postecoglou. Im Hinspiel vor einer Woche hatte Son noch 80 Minuten gespielt.
16.04.25, 17:12 Uhr: Eintracht bindet Kristensen
Eintracht Frankfurt hat Leeds-Leihgabe Rasmus Kristensen fest verpflichtet und mit einem Vertrag bis 2029 ausgestattet. Das teilten die Hessen am Mittwoch mit. "Er ist zu einem sehr wichtigen Teil unserer Mannschaft geworden und wir sind froh darüber, dass er langfristig bei der Eintracht bleibt", lobte Sportvorstand Markus Krösche den Dänen, der selbst "auf den Saisonendspurt und auf die Zukunft in Frankfurt brennt". Kristensen sollte ursprünglich eine festgeschriebene Ablösesumme von zwölf Millionen Euro kosten. Nach weiteren Verhandlungen mit Leeds sollen die Hessen den Preis auf rund sechs Millionen plus diverser Bonuszahlungen gedrückt haben.
16.04.25, 14:27 Uhr: Eintracht setzt gegen Spurs auf Heimvorteil
Eintracht Frankfurt will am Donnerstag (ab 21 Uhr im hr-iNFO-Audiostream) auch mit Hilfe der eigenen Fans in das Halbfinale der Europa League einziehen. "Der Schlüssel wird sein, dass wir gut ins Spiel kommen und den Heimvorteil nutzen", erklärte Trainer Dino Toppmöller vor dem Viertelfinal-Rückspiel gegen die Tottenham Hotspur. "Wir setzen auf den Faktor Publikum." Wichtig werde zudem sein, dass man auch das gewisse Spielglück habe, so Toppmöller weiter. "Das Hinspiel war umkämpft und eng. Es wird auf die Tagesform ankommen."
16.04.25, 14:20 Uhr: Toppmöller warnt vor angeknockten Spurs
Obwohl Tottenham Hotspur in der Premier League aktuell nur auf Rang 15 weilt, warnt Eintracht-Trainer Dino Toppmöller vor dem Gegner im Viertelfinal-Rückspiel der Europa League am Donnerstag (ab 21 Uhr im hr-iNFO-Audiostream). "Wir wissen um die Qualität, die Tottenham hat und dass auf uns eine extreme Wucht zukommt", betonte der Frankfurter Coach. Auch die 2:4-Niederlage der Spurs am Sonntag bei den Wolverhampton Wanderers will Toppmöller nicht überbewerten: "Das Spiel am Sonntag von ihnen spielt keine Rolle. Den einzigen Fokus, den sie noch haben, ist die Europa League."
16.04.25, 14:16 Uhr: Knauff im Kader, Trapp nicht
Ansgar Knauff wird beim Europa-League-Rückspiel der Frankfurter gegen Tottenham am Donnerstag (ab 21 Uhr im hr-iNFO-Audiostream) wieder im Kader der Eintracht stehen. Das bestätigte Trainer Dino Toppmöller einen Tag vor der Begegnung. "Er hat den Abschluss-Test am Dienstag bestanden", erklärte der Frankfurter Coach. Ein Kandidat für die Startelf sei Knauff aber noch nicht. Nicht mit dabei ist hingegen Kevin Trapp, der beim Training der Hessen am Mittwoch mitgewirkt hatte. "Er ist für das Spiel gegen die Spurs noch kein Thema", so Toppmöller. Im Tor wird daher weiterhin Kaua Santos stehen.
16.04.25, 12:26 Uhr: Trapp im Abschlusstraining dabei
Torhüter Kevin Trapp hat vor dem Viertelfinal-Rückspiel in der Europa League am Abschlusstraining von Eintracht Frankfurt teilgenommen. Damit könnte der 34-Jährige nach mehr als fünfwöchiger Pause wegen einer Schienbeinverletzung am Donnerstag (21.00 Uhr) gegen Tottenham Hotspur in den Kader zurückkehren. Ob er auch gleich wieder zwischen den Pfosten stehen wird, scheint allerdings mehr als fraglich. Ersatzmann Kaua Santos hatte nicht nur beim 1:1 im Hinspiel gegen Tottenham mit einer Glanzleistung überzeugt. Bislang hatte sich Trainer Dino Toppmöller eine Beförderung des Shootingstars aus Brasilien zur Nummer eins offengelassen. Flügelspieler Ansgar Knauff wirkte am Mittwoch nach seiner "leichten Knieverletzung" ebenfalls im Abschlusstraining mit und könnte wieder eine Option sein.
16.04.25, 08:38 Uhr: Götze ein zentraler Baustein
"Mario ist für uns ein unfassbar wichtiger Spieler. Er ist so ruhig, so schlau", sagte Eintracht-Trainer Dino Toppmöller als eine von vielen Lobeshymnen über Eintracht-Regisseur Mario Götze. In der Europa League hat Götze mit Eintracht Frankfurt auch die Chance, seiner Karriere die Krone aufzusetzen.
16.04.25, 07:24 Uhr: Bericht: Eintracht-Interesse an Silva
In der Gerüchteküche rund um Eintracht Frankfurt ist der nächste Name aufgetaucht. Einem Bericht von Sky-Transferexperte Florian Plettenberg zufolge haben die Hessen Interesse an einem Transfer von Fabio Silva. Der 22 Jahre alte portugiesische Mittelstürmer steht bis 2026 bei Wolverhampton unter Vertrag, ist aktuell allerdings zu UD Las Palmas in die Primera Division ausgeliehen. Dort gelangen Silva, der den Wolves 2020 satte 40 Millionen Euro wert war, in 23 Spielen zehn Tore und drei Assists.
15.04.25, 13:24 Uhr: Schiedsrichter-Gespann für Tottenham-Spiel steht
Das Schiedsrichtergespann für das Rückspiel im Europa-League-Viertelfinale von Eintracht Frankfurt gegen Tottenham Hotspur steht fest. Geleitet wird die Partie am Donnerstag (21 Uhr) in Frankfurt vom Italiener Davide Massa. Ihm assistieren werden Filippo Meli und Stefano Alassio sowie Fabio Maresca als vierter Offizieller.
15.04.25, 11:32 Uhr: Roth sorgt für Gänsehaut-Moment im heimspiel!
Eintracht-Legende Dietmar Roth hat Moderatoren und Zuschauer überrascht, als er beim hr-heimspiel! am Montag unangekündigt im Publikum saß. Der 61-Jährige hat 2013 einen Schlaganfall erlitten, arbeitet jede Woche viele Stunden in der Reha und schaffte es so, wieder selbständig laufen zu lernen. Das Sprechen fällt dem früheren Innenverteidiger noch immer schwer. Sein Betreuer Kris Susemichel erklärte aber: "Er kann eine Menge sagen. Über Emotion und Gestik." Noch immer verfolgt Roth jedes Eintracht-Spiel und hat auch einen Tipp für das Europa-League-Rückspiel gegen Tottenham – 3:2 nach Verlängerung.
15.04.25, 11:19 Uhr: Freund rät Ekitiké zu Verbleib
Steffen Freund glaubt, dass sowohl die Eintracht als auch Hugo Ekitiké von einer weiteren gemeinsamen Saison profitieren können. "Wenn die Eintracht 100 Millionen für ihn bekommt, ist er morgen weg. Dann kann das auch keiner stoppen", sagte der Europameister von 1996 im hr-heimspiel! am Montag. "Anders herum wünsche ich mir aber, dass du erkennst, dass die Eintracht gerade wieder mal wächst, vielleicht sogar direkt in die Champions League kommen kann. Dann gibt es keinen besseren Verein für Ekitiké." Inzwischen sei er nicht mehr wegzudenken und könne als gesetzter Stürmer Nummer eins in der kommenden Saison einen weiteren Entwicklungsschritt machen.
15.04.25, 08:32 Uhr: Bericht: SGE an PSG-Talent interessiert
Eintracht Frankfurt ist laut einem Bericht des Portals "Absolut Fußball" einer von zwei aussichtsreichen Bewerbern um die Dienste von Axel Tape. Der 17-jährige Innenverteidiger steht bei Paris St. Germain unter Vertrag, spielt dort noch in der U23 und feierte erst im Januar sein Debüt in der Profimannschaft. Im Sommer läuft sein Vertrag aus, er könnte also ablösefrei wechseln. Neben der SGE soll auch Bayer Leverkusen starkes Interesse zeigen. Ein Premier-League-Klub, der demnach ebenfalls noch im Rennen ist, soll indes weniger gute Chancen haben, da Tape aufgrund der Entwicklung einiger französischer Spieler in der Bundesliga einen Transfer nach Deutschland bevorzuge.
14.04.25, 20:17 Uhr: Freund im "heimspiel": Tottenham wackelt
Eintracht Frankfurt hat nach Meinung von Steffen Freund gute Chancen, das Europa-League-Viertelfinale gegen Tottenham Hotspur zu überstehen. "Die wackeln wirklich", sagte der frühere Spieler und Co-Trainer des Premier-League-Clubs im hr-heimspiel!. Allerdings sei Frankfurt für Tottenham "der letzte Strohhalm": "Da muss sich die Eintracht auf einiges vorbereiten." Die Nordlondoner sind in der heimischen Liga nur 15., auch in den englischen Pokalwettbewerben sind sie längst ausgeschieden. "Wenn sie verlieren und ausscheiden, kann am nächsten Tag der Trainer entlassen sein", so Freund über das Rückspiel in Frankfurt am Donnerstag (21 Uhr). Die heimspiel!-Sendung gibt es um 21 Uhr im hr-fernsehen und schon jetzt auf hessenschau.de zu sehen.
14.04.25, 18:30 Uhr: FUSSBALL 2000 träumt von der Champions League
Eintracht Frankfurt in der Champions League? Dieses Szenario kommt nach dem Sieg gegen Heidenheim näher. Der Eintracht-Videopodcast FUSSBALL 2000 bespricht die Partie in seiner neuen Folge und wagt einen Ausblick auf das Europa-League-Rückspiel gegen Tottenham.
14.04.25, 14:19 Uhr: Steffen Freund zu Gast im heimspiel!
Ex-Tottenham-Profi Steffen Freund ist an diesem Montag (21 Uhr im hr-fernsehen, schon vorher bei Youtube und in der ARD-Mediathek) zu Gast im heimspiel! Der ehemalige Nationalspieler war von 1999 bis 2003 für den Club aus dem Norden Londons aktiv, arbeitete zudem von 2012 bis 2014 als Co-Trainer für die Spurs. Ebenfalls zu Gast in der Sendung, die neben dem Viertelfinal-Rückspiel auch die Königklassen-Ambitionen der Eintracht zum Thema hat, ist Sportjournalist Alex Bonengel.
14.04.25, 14:17 Uhr: Hellmann setzt auf Auswärtsschwäche der Spurs
Für Eintracht-Vorstandssprecher Axel Hellmann ist der Heimvorteil im Viertelfinal-Rückspiel am Donnerstag (21 Uhr) gegen Tottenham Hotspur ein echtes Faustpfand. Die laute Kulisse und die Wucht der Fans sollen die Hessen ins Halbfinale der Europa League tragen, betonte Hellmann am Sonntag. Zusätzlich Hoffnung macht die Bilanz der Spurs in fremden Stadien. In der Liga verloren die Spurs zehn von 16 Gastspielen, in der Europa League setzte es Niederlagen bei Galatasaray und in Alkmaar, bei den Rangers reichte es nur zu einem Punktgewinn. "Sobald englische Teams die Insel verlassen, verlieren sie an Qualität", so Hellmann.
14.04.25, 10:09 Uhr: Tottenham verpatzt Generalprobe mit B-Elf
Tottenham Hotspur hat die Generalprobe vor dem Viertelfinal-Rückspiel in der Europa League am Donnerstag (21 Uhr) verpatzt. Der Gegner von Eintracht verlor am Sonntag mit 2:4 bei den Wolverhampton Wanderers und knüpfte dabei an die schlechten Leistungen in der diesjährigen Premier-League-Saison an. Im Gegensatz zu Eintracht-Coach Dino Toppmöller, der beim 3:0-Sieg gegen Heidenheim nur sehr dosiert rotiert hatte, gönnte sein Gegenüber Ange Postecoglou aber gleich mehreren Spielern eine Pause. Im Vergleich zum Spiel gegen die Eintracht standen nur noch fünf Profis in der Startelf, Torschütze Pedro Porro oder auch Abwehrchef Micky van den Ven kamen gar nicht zum Einsatz.
14.04.25, 07:35 Uhr: Toppmöller lässt T-Frage offiziell offen
Trotz des viel beachteten Interviews von Kevin Trapp, in dem er seine Ansprüche auf einen Stammplatz bei Eintracht Frankfurt zurückstellte, will Trainer Dino Toppmöller offiziell noch keine Entscheidung über die Nummer eins getroffen haben. Der Frankfurter Coach vermied am Sonntagabend eine explizite Antwort auf die Frage, ob das Thema intern schon geklärt sei. Gleichwohl lobte er Trapp für dessen mannschaftsdienliche Aussagen. "Das spricht natürlich auch für ihn und für seinen Charakter, wenn er diese Dinge gesagt hat." Der Brasilianer Kaua Santos, der gegen Heidenheim beschäftigungslos war, schiebt sich an, Trapp in der Hierarchie der Keeper an der Spitze abzulösen.
14.04.25, 07:26 Uhr: Eintracht-Highlights im Video
Eintracht Frankfurt hat mit dem 1. FC Heidenheim keine Probleme und geht mit dem 3:0-Heimsieg einen riesigen Schritt in Richtung Champions League. Die Highlights des Spiels gibt es an dieser Stelle im Video.
14.04.25, 07:09 Uhr: Hoffnung auf Knauff-Comeback gegen Tottenham
Ansgar Knauff könnte Eintracht Frankfurt im Viertelfinal-Rückspiel der Europa League am Donnerstag (21 Uhr) gegen Tottenham Hotspur womöglich wieder zur Verfügung stehen. Der U21-Nationalspieler, der sich gegen den VfB Stuttgart vor rund zwei Wochen am Knie verletzt hatte und seitdem ausfällt, ist auf dem Weg der Besserung. "Wir haben bei Ansgar sehr große Hoffnungen, dass es für den Kader reicht", sagte Trainer Dino Toppmöller nach dem 3:0-Sieg gegen den 1. FC Heidenheim. Ob die Kraft schon für einen Einsatz in der Startelf reicht, müsse man aber abwarten. "Unsere Mediziner tun alles, damit er dabei ist."
13.04.25, 20:40 Uhr: Hellmann zu Tottenham: "Ich bin on fire"
Eintracht-Vorstandssprecher Axel Hellmann hat nach dem Sieg der Frankfurter gegen Heidenheim und vor dem Europa-League-Rückspiel gegen Tottenham einen Appell an die eigene Mannschaft gerichtet. "Wir müssen am Donnerstag von der ersten Minute an zeigen, dass es gegen uns nichts zu gewinnen gibt. Das Stadion wird entflammt und laut sein und Wucht haben", erklärte Hellmann. "Ich weiß, was es den Menschen, der Stadt und dem Club bedeutet, in das Halbfinale einzuziehen. Wir dürfen am Donnerstag überhaupt keinen Zweifel daran aufkommen lassen, was wir wollen. Da muss es richtig knallen." Der Fokus auf das Spiel gegen Heidenheim sei wichtig gewesen, betonte Hellmann, aber: "Jetzt kommt der eigentliche Fokus. Also ich bin on fire."
13.04.25, 20:36 Uhr: SGE-Coach lobt und mahnt
Eintracht-Trainer Dino Toppmöller hat sein Team für die Leistung am Sonntag beim 3:0 der Frankfurter gegen Heidenheim gelobt: "Es war unser klares Ziel, diese drei Punkte mitzunehmen - dafür ein Kompliment." Er sah aber eine wechselhafte Performance: "Es war besonders in der ersten Halbzeit richtig ordentlich. In der zweiten Hälfte waren wir kurzzeitig nicht so da, das hat mir nicht gefallen." Insgesamt sei es nach dem Europacup-Spiel in London gut gewesen. Mit Blick auf die Champions-League-Quali mahnte er: "Wir müssen jetzt bodenständig bleiben und den Job zu Ende bringen."

] | [] | Edy Hubacher hat sich als erfolgreicher Sportler und leidenschaftlicher Rätselerfinder einen Namen gemacht. Mit 85 blickt er auf ein vielseitiges Leben zurück. | Edy Hubacher hat sich als erfolgreicher Sportler und leidenschaftlicher Rätselerfinder einen Namen gemacht. Mit 85 blickt er auf ein vielseitiges Leben zurück.
Mit seiner stattlichen Statur hat er die meisten nicht nur körperlich überragt. Im Sport feierte Edy Hubacher in den 1960 und 1970er Jahren grosse Erfolge. Der Mehrkämpfer dominierte in den Disziplinen Kugelstossen und Diskuswerfen. Das kam ihm auch im Bobsport zugute. An den Winterspielen in Sapporo 1972 wurde er mit Jean Wicky Olympiasieger im Viererbob und holte Bronze im Zweier.
Vom Primarlehrer und Vater zum Rätselschmied
Er liess sich zum Primarlehrer ausbilden lassen, um von Religion bis zum Weitsprung alles zu unterrichten. Wie im Sport – vielseitig musste es sein. Hinzu kam 1963 seine Passion für Rätsel. Die Geburt seines Sohnes war zugleich der Startschuss zum Rätselschmied.
Sein erstes Rätsel entwarf Edy Hubacher für die Satirezeitschrift Nebelspalter. Auch in vielen anderen Zeitungen und Zeitschriften fanden seine Rätsel einen Platz.
Dreissig Jahre war Edy Hubacher für die Rätsel der Radio-Musik-Box verantwortlich und im TV war er der Kopf hinter den Kulissen der Rubrik «Rätsel TAF» im Tagesfernsehen.
Edy Hubacher war bekannt für seine kniffligen und kreativen Rätsel, die oft auch auf aktuelle Themen eingingen. Über dreissig Rätselarten hat er geschaffen. Auf die Frage, wie viele Rätsel denn aus seinem Kopf und seiner Feder stammen, sagt der 85-Jährige: «Ich habe sie einmal versucht zu zählen. Es sind einige Tausend.»
Während seine Frau zu Beginn noch mit Tusche die Schemas gezeichnet und er auf einer «Hermes Baby» die Fragen geschrieben habe, sei er erst mit fünfzig auf den Computer umgestiegen. Er nehme es genau und bezeichnet sich selber als «Tüpflischisser» oder «Korinthenkacker».
Rätseln in Zeiten von Computer und KI
Ob Zahlen oder Buchstabenrätsel – geknobelt wird immer noch Land auf und ab. Dass mit dem Aufkommen vom Computer sicher viele auch Google zur Hilfe nehmen, stört ihn nicht. Wenn er selber Rätsel löse, tue er es im Notfall auch. Formuliere er Fragen für ein Rätsel, würde er jedoch immer googeln.
Von der Unterstützung durch künstliche Intelligenz hält der Rätselmacher nicht viel. Auch wenn es ein technischer Fortschritt sei, führe das zu einer Degeneration. Er zitiert einen Losungsspruch aus seinem Tagebuch: «Einmal kein Fortschritt, das wäre einer.»
Vom «Gstabi» zum Zehnkämpfer und zurück
Die vergangenen zwei, drei Jahre haben Edy Hubacher gesundheitlich zugesetzt. In einem Mail an Bekannte und Freunde schrieb er kurz vor seinem 85. Geburtstag: «Der schwache Motor erlaubt es nicht, die nötigen Reparaturen am Chassis vorzunehmen. Das Benzin geht langsam aus, der Akku ist eher halb leer als halb voll. Fehlzündungen werden häufiger. Die Blicke in den Rückspiegel ersetzen Vorsicht und Aussicht.»
Impressionen aus Edy Hubachers Leben
Apropos Rückblick. Eine Linde eingangs von Bangerten BE erinnert Edy Hubacher an seine sportlichen Erfolge. Er bekam sie von der Gemeinde nach dem Olympia-Erfolg geschenkt. Als der Baum gepflanzt wurde, war sein Sohn Marc dabei.
Heute ist die Linde für Edy Hubacher ein Ort der Besinnung. Er widmete den Baum seinem Sohn, der 1983 im Alter von 23 Jahren bei einer Reise auf den Philippinen beim Besteigen eines Vulkans ums Leben kam.
Er habe noch schöne Zeiten erlebt. Trotz der traurigen Sachen im eigenen Leben oder im Weltgeschehen. «Das gehört zu einem langen Leben. Dieses muss man sich verdienen», meint Edy Hubacher.
Noch klopfe sein Herz und Pläne hat er auch. Er arbeitet an einem Buch voller Rätsel. | 2025-04-15T12:00:49Z | true |

DİYARBAKIR’ın Sur ilçesinde, hava sıcaklıklarının artmasıyla birlikte çocuklar, tehlikeli ve yasak olmasına rağmen tarihi Anzele Parkı’ndaki süs havuzuna girip serinlemeye başladı. Havuzda yüzen çocuklardan Ebubekir Güzel, “Yazın buralar dolup taşacak ve yüzmeye yer bulamayız. O nedenle şimdi sakin ve ben de şimdi geldim” dedi.
Sur ilçesi Melikahmet Mahallesi'ndeki tarihi Anzele Parkı'nda bulunan süs havuzu, havaların ısınmasıyla birlikte yine çocukların, oyun ve yüzme alanına döndü. Çocuklar, serinlemek amacıyla, tehlikeli ve yasak olduğunu gösteren uyarı levhalarına aldırış etmeden havuza giriyor. Termometrelerin 19 dereceyi gördüğü kentte, çocuklardan bazıları yaklaşık 3 metre yükseklikten 1 metre derinliğindeki suya atladı. Kimi çocuklar da suya girdikten sonra havuz kenarındaki taşlara uzanarak güneşlendi.
Yenişehir ilçesi Şehitlik Mahallesi’nden yüzmeye gelen Ebubekir Güzel, “Her sene buraya yüzmeye geliyorum. Havuzun derin olmaması tercih nedenim. Burada yüzmeyi de öğrendim. Yazın buralar dolup taşacak. Yüzmeye yer bulamayız. O nedenle şimdi sakin ve ben de şimdi geldim” diye konuştu.
Bağlar ilçesi Bağcılar Mahallesi’nden gelen Berat Çerçel ise “Buranın ücretsiz olması beni cezbediyor. Havalar sıcak ve bedavadan yüzüyoruz” ifadelerini kullandı.

Se escribe como se es, y como se está. La letra delata si aquella carta la escribió adormilado, nervioso o con una salvaje y contenida alegría. Es más o menos conocido que la caligrafía –o su análisis– permite sacar una foto muy nítida del momento vital que atraviesa el que desliza el bolígrafo. Pero más allá del retrato psicológico aislado, la escritura sirve para diagnosticar el carácter de un pueblo o las carencias de una generación.
El trazo mediterráneo no tiene nada que ver con el británico o con el de los países nórdicos. Si se miran con detenimiento los escritos de hace medio siglo y se comparan con los cuadernos de los adolescentes de hoy se puede intuir el rastro de una guerra o la omnipresencia de lo tecnológico. La escritura, dijo el arqueólogo Jean-Hippolyte Michon, es el relieve visible del pensamiento. Y quizá una de las cabezas más interesantes del mundo es, precisamente, la del nuevo jefe de la Iglesia católica. El Vaticano acaba de compartir su firma y la que será la primera foto oficial de su Pontificado. Por eso, más allá del análisis de sus discursos o de sus homilías, que son las que verdaderamente anticipan la intelectualidad del Pontífice, su letra podría dar algunas pistas sobre su personalidad.
«Para acceder a su emotividad tienes que gozar de su confianza»
En cualquier caso, lo primero que matizan desde la Asociación Grafopsicológica de España es que la escritura compartida por la Santa Sede no es propiamente su firma, no es la del hombre o la del cardenal, sino la del Papa. Esa fue la primera vez que dejaba por escrito el nombre con el que escogía ocupar la silla de Pedro. Por lo tanto, podría haber diferencias entre la caligrafía del Papa y la del hombre que fue cuando era un purpurado. «Es una persona bastante firme, con un calor humano y una emotividad presente, aunque más bien algo distante», analiza Juan Trenado, grafólogo de la asociación. Y explica así esta 'distancia': «Para acceder a la emotividad de León XIV tienes que gozar de su confianza, algo que no da a todo el mundo». Trenado también menciona un visible «deseo de protegerse», un rasgo relacionado con esa prudencia que ya le atribuyen varias voces y que le diferencia de su antecesor argentino.
Pero en el modo en que desliza el bolígrafo también está contenida su sabiduría, sus conocimientos. El nuevo obispo de Roma es matemático, filósofo y doctor en Derecho canónico. Y políglota: habla inglés, español, italiano y portugués, y también tiene conocimientos de latín y alemán. Así lo resume Trenado: «Tiene muy buena perspectiva de los hechos, así como una visión social amplia. Su letra también dice que es bastante tenaz, incluso puede llegar a la obcecación si el tema le interesa. En general es una firma positiva, combina una gran amplitud de miras, alta emotividad y una perspectiva mental amplia». | 2025-05-10T11:30:18Z | true |
John Swinney to reveal stance on Holyrood Assisted Dying Bill this week | The Independent | https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/john-swinney-bill-holyrood-msps-first-minister-b2744814.html | [

] | John Swinney will reveal this week if he will back a bid to legalise assisted dying for terminally ill adults in Scotland.
The Scottish First Minister revealed he has now reached a conclusion on how he will vote when the legislation, brought forward by Liberal Democrat MSP Liam McArthur, comes before Holyrood on May 13.
While the SNP leader refused to say as yet which way he will vote, he told the PA news agency it had been an “incredibly difficult judgment”.
The proposals set out to give those at the advanced stage of a terminal illness the option of requesting help to end their life – with Mr McArthur having now said he will raise the age limit at which people could seek such a death from 16 to 18, bringing this in line with proposals currently before Westminster.
The vote at Holyrood later this month will be the third time MSPs have considered the issue – and a vote against the general principles of the legislation on May 13 would mean that Mr McArthur’s Bill would not proceed any further.
Mr Swinney voted against both other attempts to introduce assisted dying in Scotland, and had previously committed to making his views on the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill vote known before its first vote at Holyrood.
He said: “I have reached a conclusion and I will set out my reasoning in the course of this week.”
MSPs from all parties will have a free vote on the issue, and Mr Swinney stressed that he has “only have one vote in the parliamentary consideration of this issue”.
While he promised he would “make my position clear during this week” the First Minister said he was “conscious of the fact if I say what I am going to do, it may well influence the debate”.
But he accepted accepted that because of his position as First Minister “people are keen to hear what I think and what I feel about this”, but he said: “It has been an incredibly difficult judgment to come to.
“I have voted against both measures previously in the Scottish Parliament and I did that really without any doubt in my mind.
“I have found the handling of the issue at this moment much more difficult to reconcile in my own mind, and I think that is a tribute to Liam McArthur, who has constructed a much better Bill and the many representations I hear about this issue.”
Mr Swinney also said he had wanted to leave the Health Committee at Holyrood, which has been scrutinising the proposed legislation, to “hear all the evidence and come to their conclusions”.
MSPs on that committee this week published a report in which they said it would not make any recommendations on whether the Bill should be approved as it is a “matter of conscience for each individual MSP”.
Mr Swinney meanwhile said the Health Committee had done an “absolutely outstanding job” in its scrutiny of the legislation.
The First Minister added: “I think they have actually done the right thing, to inform parliamentary debates, because they have heard the arguments, they have questioned it all, from all perspectives.”
He continued: “I’ve read a lot of the proceedings, I have watched some of the proceedings. I couldn’t tell you what these Members of Parliament believe about the issue, they are just going about it dispassionately.
“They have heard all the evidence, laid it all out in a rational, dispassionate fashion and at the end they have said: ‘We don’t think it is appropriate to come to a conclusion.'”
He added: “I feel the committee’s handling has been outstanding.” | 2025-05-04T23:01:00Z | true |

] | People were perhaps “days” away from losing their jobs without the new trade deal between the US and the UK, the Trade Secretary has indicated.
Jonathan Reynolds told the BBC’s Newsnight programme that “we were at risk of thousands of people losing their jobs” without an agreement.
Sir Keir Starmer had earlier hailed the “historic” accord. As part of the agreement, US import taxes which had threatened to cripple British high-end carmakers were cut from 27.5% to 10%, while the 25% tariff on steel has also been removed entirely.
The blanket 10% tariff imposed on imports by US President Donald Trump as part of his sweeping “liberation day” announcement remains in place, but talks are ongoing in a UK effort to ease it.
Mr Reynolds told the BBC that without the “historic breakthrough, we were at risk of thousands of people losing their jobs”.
Asked how quickly that might have happened, he said “we were very, very close”, and pushed further on whether that meant days or weeks, he replied: “Days.”
“This was very, very serious, it means people would have lost their jobs without this breakthrough and it would have been a real economic hit to the UK,” Mr Reynolds later added.
He had earlier said the US was an important market to firms such as Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), Aston Martin and Bentley and that a 25% tariff was a “very difficult business proposition” in a competitive industry.
The general terms for the agreement were published late on Thursday, and stated that the UK and the US are “beginning negotiations” to “develop and formalise the proposals” that have been made.
It also suggested that that either country could “terminate” the “arrangement” in the future with written notice, and it could be further altered in the future at the request of either side.
“On request of either country, the United Kingdom and the United States will consult with a view to considering any changes that may need to be made to this arrangement to ensure that it remains mutually beneficial,” the general terms for the deal say.
Sir Keir and Mr Trump confirmed the deal in a conversation that was broadcast live on both sides of the Atlantic on Thursday afternoon.
The Prime Minister took the call at a JLR plant in the West Midlands, and said it was “important” for him to go back to the factory that he visited in the days after the tariffs were first announced.
The timing of the announcement came as a surprise, coinciding with VE Day where the Prime Minister was heavily involved in events to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe.
The Liberal Democrats have been pushing the Government to offer MPs a vote on the deal, but a Treasury minister appeared to suggest on Thursday evening that would not happen.
Asked on the BBC’s Question Time programme whether there would be a vote, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury James Murray said “it’s my understanding it won’t but I’m not chief whip”.
The deal is the first the US has announced since Mr Trump’s tariff regime was introduced last month, and speaking to the Prime Minister from the White House, the US president said the agreement was a “great deal for both countries”.
Previous speculation had suggested the UK would revise the digital services tax as part of a deal, with the levy mainly applying to US tech companies.
But Number 10 said on Thursday the tax would remain unchanged, with the two countries agreeing to work on a separate digital trade deal that would reduce paperwork for British firms exporting to the US.
The deal also does not include any concessions on the Online Safety Act or the NHS, the Business Secretary said.
Asked whether that could be ruled out for the future, Mr Reynolds said: “Isn’t this unfortunately how we do things in the UK?
“We’ve got the best result of any other country in the world, we’re immediately speculating that somehow it’s going to be worse in the future.
“We said very clearly the safety of children in the UK is never something we would negotiate with.”
He added: “We’ve got to stop being so insular in the UK and understand there will be asks from other countries, but we can refuse those and we can negotiate and we can get what we need in the UK to pursue our own interests.”
The agreement comes after weeks of speculation about what shape a deal could take.
Previous governments have attempted to secure a free trade agreement with the US, but with no success, however the impact of Mr Trump’s tariffs made it a high priority for Sir Keir.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves said she was “proud” of the Prime Minister’s role in getting the agreement over the line.
She wrote in The Times: “There are those who would have advocated we take a different approach. That we cave into the performative politics, which would have made for a good soundbite, but would have harmed our economy, threatened business, and put working people out of work.”
Other measures in the deal include a provision that beef exports will be allowed both ways, with officials insisting there will be no weakening of food standards for meat sent to Britain.
Mr Trump posted on Truth Social on Thursday evening to say that the deal is “GREAT for our FARMERS and RANCHERS”.
The UK will also have “preferential treatment whatever happens in the future” when it comes to pharmaceuticals, as Mr Trump considers import taxes on drugs and medicines.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said the UK had been “shafted” by the agreement, and one of her MPs suggested Mr Trump looks to “extort” from people.
Graham Stuart told Question Time he does not think it is a “great deal”.
He said: “The truth is that’s what he does, that he seeks to shaft people. That’s his business career, isn’t it?”
“It’s what he’s done, Donald Trump,” Mr Stuart added.
“He seeks to extort from people, and that’s what he’s done. He’s a classic kind of bully, and he’s the worst face of capitalism, and he’s taken that into the most powerful country in the world.” | 2025-05-08T23:32:30Z | true |

Taurinos sienten que restringir corridas de toros en México daña una tradición sagrada | Los Angeles Times | https://www.latimes.com/espanol/deportes/articulo/2025-05-06/taurinos-sienten-que-restringir-corridas-de-toros-en-mexico-dana-una-tradicion-sagrada | [
"MARÍA TERESA HERNÁNDEZ"
] | [] | AGUASCALIENTES, México — AGUASCALIENTES, México (AP) — Hay un ritual que el matador mexicano Diego Silveti repite antes de enfrentar a un toro.
Vestido con el traje de luces que podría darle muerte o gloria, se quita la argolla de matrimonio y la deja en un altar que construye antes de cada corrida. Luego cierra los ojos, eleva una oración y sale rumbo a la plaza.
“Al dejar mi anillo, le digo a Dios: ‘Aquí está todo lo que soy como padre, como esposo, como hijo, como hermano’”, cuenta Silveti. “Voy a cumplir mi cometido en la vida, que es ser torero”.
Su último encuentro con un toro fue a finales de abril en Aguascalientes, un estado donde la tauromaquia se considera patrimonio cultural.
Semanas atrás, legisladores de Ciudad de México prohibieron las corridas violentas en la capital. Aún se permite que los matadores enfrenten a los toros, pero picarlos con banderillas o atravesarlos con una espada está descartado.
Activistas por los derechos de los animales celebraron la decisión y la secretaria del Medio Ambiente, Julia Álvarez, dijo que el Congreso hizo historia. No obstante, matadores como Silveti, aficionados y ganaderos afirman que esta tradición de origen español posee un significado profundo y se vería afectada si los toros no mueren en la plaza.
“Esto que proponen va completamente en contra de la esencia y los ritos de la tauromaquia”, asegura Silveti. “Es una prohibición velada”.
La tauromaquia mexicana se origina en EspañaLa Conquista europea de territorios mesoamericanos en el siglo XVI trajo consigo el catolicismo y prácticas culturales que terminaron por entrelazarse con las costumbres indígenas.
El investigador y aficionado Antonio Rivera vive en Yucatán, un estado del sureste mexicano donde las corridas de toros hoy están fusionadas con las fiestas patronales de las comunidades mayas.
“En los festejos locales la raíz es de rito sacrificial”, explica Rivera. “Las culturas antiguas tenían la certeza de que Dios les había pedido sacrificios en su honor y la sangre fertiliza la tierra”.
De acuerdo con sus registros, en la península de Yucatán cada año se celebran unas 2.000 festividades con toros.
Al igual que Aguascalientes, el Congreso yucateco declaró la tauromaquia como patrimonio cultural en 2021. La decisión buscaba rememorar el legado de los antepasados y honrar la identidad del pueblo, cita la declaración oficial.
“Al ver al toro siento una enorme devoción”, cuenta Rivera. “Es un espejo de mí mismo. Veo un museo viviente de esos rituales que traemos en las memorias colectivas”.
El legado de un padreSilveti creció jugando con muletas y capotes, los instrumentos de tela que los matadores emplean para dirigir las embestidas del toro.
Su papá fue uno de los matadores más queridos de México. Hasta antes de su muerte en 2003, aficionados y periodistas solían llamarle “Rey David”.
Muchos taurinos aún lo recuerdan con cariño. Durante la última corrida de Silveti, una mujer en la plaza le dijo a otra que preguntó quién era: “Es Diego, el hijo del rey”.
“A nosotros nadie nos preguntó dónde queríamos nacer”, dice Silveti. “El amor al toro y la fiesta de los toros ha sido mi vida y la de mis antepasados”.
Su abuelo y bisabuelo también fueron matadores. A ellos se suma su tío, actual apoderado o representante de Silveti. El matador dice que sus dos hijos —de 2 y 6 años— serán libres de elegir su profesión, pero él los apoyaría si decidieran seguir sus pasos.
Ni ellos ni su esposa lo acompañan a las plazas, pero Silveti busca otras maneras de compartir su pasión con ellos. En familia suelen visitar ganaderías de toros y, en ocasiones, con uno de sus hijos en brazos, Silveti torea vacas pequeñas.
“Al más chiquitín le gusta mucho”, dice sonriendo. “¿Cómo puede ser que alguien tan pequeñito se ponga a ver los toros y le haga ‘olé’ con un trapo o una servilleta?”.
La espiritualidad en las corridas‘El rey’ no vio a su hijo convertirse en matador profesional en España en 2011, pero Silveti aún lo siente cerca.
“He sentido muchas veces su presencia espiritual en mi alma”, asegura. “En ocasiones, cuando estoy concentrado, solo, trato de platicar con él, de seguir su ejemplo”.
De niño no solía acompañarlo a la plaza. Se quedaba en casa con su madre y hermanos y, sin redes sociales para monitorear la corrida, rezaban y esperaban la llamada que les anunciara el resultado.
Al igual que Silveti, docenas de matadores rezan antes de salir al ruedo. En la plaza de Aguascalientes, el sacerdote Ricardo Cuéllar los bendice en la capilla.
“Mi trabajo es atender a la familia taurina en lo religioso”, explica. “Los aficionados, los que reparten papitas y cervezas en las gradas, los que hacen la limpieza del ruedo, los mozos de los toreros, los ganaderos, los familiares...”.
De acuerdo con Tauromaquia Mexicana, la organización más grande del país, unos 20.000 trabajos dependen de esta actividad en México.
Perspectivas sobre torosCuando la prohibición capitalina se aprobó, una de las organizaciones detrás de la iniciativa, “Cultura sin tortura”, dijo que continuaría abogando por la prohibición, pues ningún animal debe ser visto como entretenimiento.
Los ganaderos, en cambio, aseguran que los toros no se crían para espectáculos vacíos, sino que son criaturas fascinantes a las que dedican una vida de cuidados.
Manuel Sescosse, quien tiene una ganadería, cuenta que criar estos toros es tan apasionante como el toreo mismo.
“Hay que hacer que se vean bonitos en la plaza”, dice. “Ofensivos pero al mismo tiempo nobles. Que embistan y permitan crear esa sensibilidad para que la gente se emocione”.
El toro ideal para una corrida ronda los cuatro o cinco años y pesa alrededor de 500 kilos.
De acuerdo con el ganadero, cuando la temporada de lluvias se acerca, un toro se aparea con unas 30 vacas y su descendencia es cuidadosamente monitoreada. Muchos reciben un nombre. Todos se alimentan sólo con pasto y cuentan con hectáreas suficientes para ejercitarse y crecer fuertes y sanos. Al llegar a la edad adecuada, sólo un puñado será seleccionado para el toreo.
“Los ves nacer, desde becerros y los vas viendo cómo crecen y se lidian”, dice Sescosse. “Ese cariño que le desarrollas crece si salió bueno y deja algún recuerdo o es muy aplaudido”.
Larga vida a CentinelaNo todos los asistentes a una plaza perciben el toreo como algo sagrado, pero para muchos sí posee un significado profundo.
Daniel Salinas asegura que los matadores se rigen por reglas estrictas que demuestran la apreciación por la vida que toman. “Celebramos la muerte como un rito en el cual se enfrenta un ser humano con un animal bravo”, explica.
En Aguascalientes, cuando su segundo toro dio su último aliento, Silveti lo acarició y bajó la mirada respetuosamente antes de salir del ruedo.
“Yo sé que él está entregándome lo que tiene y yo también estoy dispuesto a entregarle mi vida”, asegura el matador. “Yo tengo 13 cornadas en mi cuerpo y he estado dispuesto a recibirlas porque esto va mucho más allá”.
Aunque no ocurre con frecuencia, cuando un toro crea una comunicación artística con su matador, su vida se indulta. En vez de una espada recibe una banderilla (un dardo alargado con una puya) y regresa a su ganadería, donde su descendencia será atesorada por generaciones de aficionados.
Tras la faena de Silveti en Aguascalientes, el torero español Alejandro Talavante enfrentó a uno de estos toros.
Centinela —el pelo más negro que has visto, cuatro años, 518 kilos— se ganó los corazones de los asistentes mientras los pases de Talavante lo hacían girar y bailar. El español apuntó para matar más de una vez, pero la afición le pidió que no lo hiciera y el juez aceptó perdonarlo.
Entonces Centinela emprendió una última carrera, fuerte y vigoroso, y su sombra se perdió en los toriles. La tarde también fue gloriosa para él.

La calidad marcó la diferencia. El Sevilla se fue al descanso con 0-2 tras anotar los dos únicos tiros a puerta que tuvo en el primer acto. El Espanyol fue más ofensivo en la totalidad del encuentro, pero sus ganas e insistencia no pudieron hacerle frente a la calidad y madurez del Sevilla. Tan solo dos puntos separaban a ambos conjuntos antes del pitido final. Los dos equipos venían de ser goleados, los periquitos en San Mamés por 4-1 y los hispalenses por 5-1 en Montjuic, por lo que este partido podía ser la redención de cualquiera. El 0-2 que mostraba el marcador al final del encuentro aleja al Sevilla del descenso y pone al Espanyol, que visita ahora al Barça y luego recibe al Valencia, en una situación muy complicada.
Era evidente que la exigencia del encuentro iba a ser máxima, por el contexto y por las ganas de ambas aficiones de volver a ver a su equipo competir tras tales batacazos. El inicio del encuentro fue totalmente perico. Los de Manolo González salieron con una presión asfixiante y muy atentos para recuperar el balón tras perderlo. Así, en 10 minutos Cheddira ya había rematado, Pol Lozano había recuperado tres pelotas y Jofre había estado a punto de dar un pase clave en una oportunidad muy clara fruto de un pase tremendo de Král.
Al Sevilla le costó mucho salir de su campo. Sin embargo, la calidad pesa mucho. En el minuto 20, Lokonga, en la primera ocasión en que los de García Pimienta salían de la cueva, campó a sus anchas por la zona de medios y dejó el balón para Lukébakio, que se giró y anotó un auténtico golazo desde fuera del área. Pero el Espanyol quiso alargar la ofensividad que había demostrado desde el primer instante. Tan solo tres minutos después del gol, Cheddira peinó un centro que Král estuvo a dos centímetros de tocar y meter dentro de la portería de Nyland.
A medida que pasaron los minutos, cesó la presión alta perica y, por tanto, el Sevilla comenzó a estar cómodo. Los hispalenses no tenían ninguna prisa y aprovecharon la indecisión del Espanyol en la salida de balón para dormir el encuentro. Y perdonó el Sevilla en el 36. Nianzou erró en el remate a un centro de falta cuando estaba totalmente solo.
El Espanyol lo intentó y tuvo una notable presencia en el campo del rival. Sin embargo, al robar, los visitantes eran muy peligrosos y aprovechan el desgaste de los locales para atacar los espacios vacíos. Los de Manolo no estaban siendo inferiores al Sevilla y tuvieron numerosas oportunidades en el primer acto, pero, de nuevo, la personalidad, la calidad y la diferencia que marca tener jugadores como Lukébakio permitió a los visitantes irse al descanso con 0-2. El extremo belga recibió el balón, en el minuto psicológico, al borde del área y volvió a marcar un golazo con la zurda absolutamente imparable para Joan García. El Espanyol volvió del paso por vestuarios con ganas de anotar y recortar distancias, pero lo hacía con precipitación. Así, el Sevilla aprovechó las pérdidas por ansia de su rival para progresar y desquiciar a los 24.000 pericos asistentes al RCDE Stadium.
Los de Manolo apretaron, pero tenían serios problemas para finalizar las jugadas. Los centros llovían pero ninguno terminaba cerca del arco hispalense. No fue hasta el minuto 70 que el Espanyol tuvo un remate claro: Véliz se elevó por encima de la defensa sevillista y remató un balón que salió muy cerca del palo izquierdo del recién ingresado por lesión de Nyland Álvaro Fernández. Lukébakio perdonó el tercero en el 73 en un tiro que erró cuando Joan García ya estaba vendido. El Espanyol insistió e insistió y anuló al Sevilla, pero los andaluces demostraron madurez para saber cuándo hacer faltas, cuándo controlar el esférico y cuándo mandar balones arriba.
A falta de diez minutos para el final, Ortiz Arias fue a la pantalla a revisar si la mano que Gudelj había protagonizado en el área debía ser penada. Sin embargo, el colegiado de la capital terminó indicando que la falta anterior sobre el meta sevillista anulaba la infracción del capitán del equipo andaluz. El Espanyol persistió pero no hizo sufrir demasiado al Sevilla. El partido terminó en cero a dos, lo cual deja a los periquitos a dos del descenso y a los andaluces con los mismos puntos que el séptimo clasificado, el Betis.
La calidad del extremo belga, que hizo los dos goles sevillistas en la primera parte, decantan el partido. Es el mejor sin duda alguna, pero le falta compañía

] | KUALA LUMPUR, May 1 — Two independent candidates will contest in Singapore’s General Election 2025 (GE2025), standing shoulder to shoulder with well-established political parties.
They will be vying for seats in the Mountbatten and Radin Mas Single Member Constituencies (SMCs).
Jeremy Tan, 34, a start-up founder, will be up against Goh Sze Kee, a new face fielded by the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) in Mountbatten SMC.
According to The Straits Times’ “GE2025: Who’s standing where in Singapore’s general election?” multimedia page, Tan is the founder of Tissue SG, a company that claims to sell tissue paper.
An avid advocate of cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, Tan channels the proceeds to charities and allows customers to track the donations on a blockchain.
He previously started and ran a company that distributed products from skincare brand Paula's Choice in Singapore for six years, before the brand was acquired by Unilever in 2021.
He is running for office for the first time.
His contender, Goh, is the associate director of AsiaLegal, a boutique law firm that specialises in maritime law.
She has served as the vice-chairwoman of the Bukit Timah Citizens’ Consultative Committee and the branch secretary of the PAP's Bukit Timah branch.
Meanwhile, Darryl Lo, 28, who will contest in Radin Mas SMC, is facing two other candidates, PAP heavyweight Melvin Yong and Kumar Appavoo from the People’s Alliance for Reform (PAR).
Unemployed, Lo graduated from the Singapore Management University with a law degree in 2022.
He worked as a community manager and trust and safety associate at OpenSea, a marketplace for non-fungible tokens and other digital collectibles, until 2023.
A first-time contender, he hopes to secure a seat as a full-time Member of Parliament.
Lo’s PAP contender Yong is an assistant secretary-general of the National Trades Union Congress and a former police officer.
In GE2020, his team won 74 per cent of the vote (16,864 votes) against Kumar of the Reform Party.
Yong entered politics in 2015.
Kumar, on the other hand, is a businessman.
He was formerly the treasurer of the Reform Party and a member of the Singapore People’s Party’s central executive committee before joining PAR.
Let us see if Tan and Lo, who involved in tech-related industries, can spring a surprise.
Across all parties, a record 89 new faces are contesting this election, reportedly the highest ever, surpassing the 76 introduced in 2020.
There will be 211 candidates standing for election in Singapore GE2025.
There are 2,758,846 registered voters for the upcoming May 3 polls, the Elections Department (ELD) announced on April 18. — Bernama | 2025-05-01T06:01:27Z | true |

ÖMER FARUK SALMAN - Türkiye'nin halı ihracatının yaklaşık yüzde 69'unu gerçekleştiren Güneydoğulu ihracatçılar, Orta Doğu, Körfez ve Afrika ülkelerinde pazar payını artırmak için çalışma yürütüyor.
AA muhabirinin Güneydoğu Anadolu İhracatçı Birlikleri (GAİB) verilerinden yaptığı derlemeye göre, Güneydoğu'daki halı üreticileri, 2025 yılının ilk 3 ayında 146 ülke ve serbest bölgeye 475 milyon 7 bin dolarlık ihracat gerçekleştirdi.
Güneydoğulu halıcılar, pazar payını artırmayı hedeflediği Orta Doğu'ya 149 milyon 503 bin dolar, Körfez ülkelerine 134 milyon 231 bin dolar, Afrika ülkelerine ise 41 milyon 617 bin dolarlık ihracat yaptı.
Sektör en fazla geliri 411 milyon 833 bin dolarla makine halılarından elde etti. Makine halılarını, 57 milyon 826 bin dolarla tufte halıları (özel tasarım), 4 milyon 637 bin dolarla el halıları ve 712 bin dolarla kilim takip etti.
El halıları ihracatından elde edilen gelir geçen yılın aynı dönemine göre yaklaşık 3 kat arttı.
- En çok halı ABD'ye satıldı
Yılın ilk çeyreğinde en fazla halı ihracatı 139 milyon 846 bin dolarla ABD'ye yapıldı. Suudi Arabistan 69 milyon 135 bin dolarla ikinci sırada, Irak ise 36 milyon 254 bin dolarla üçüncü sırada yer aldı.
Güneydoğu Anadolu Halı İhracatçıları Birliği Başkanı Zeynal Abidin Kaplan, AA muhabirine, yılın ilk çeyreğine iyi başladıklarını, yıl sonu hedeflerini yakalamak için bu dönem rakamlarının önemli olduğunu ifade etti.
Global pazarlarda yaşanan sıkıntılara rağmen önemli rakamlar elde ettiklerini ifade eden Kaplan, şöyle konuştu:
"İhracatımızı artırmak için yurt dışı tanıtım faaliyetlerimizi sürdürüyoruz. Bu yılın ilk sektörel ticaret heyeti organizasyonunu Dubai ve Doha kentlerinde gerçekleştirdik. Heyet özellikle ihracatımızın büyük bir bölümünü gerçekleştirdiğimiz Orta Doğu, Körfez ve Afrika ülkelerine yönelik payımızın artırılması için çalışıyor. Verimli de bir çalışma oluyor, yılın ilk çeyreğinde bu bölgelere yaklaşık 325 milyon dolarlık bir ihracatımız var. Geçen yılın tamamında ise 1,3 milyar dolar civarında ihracat gerçekleştirdik. Bu yıl hedefimiz 1,5 milyar dolara ulaşmak.
Yıl sonuna kadar Türkiye geneli yaklaşık 3 milyar dolar, Güneydoğu olarak ise 2 milyar dolarlık ihracat gerçekleştirmeyi hedefliyoruz. İhracatımızın arttırılmasında emeği geçen bütün ihracatçılarımızı kutluyorum."
