Five Palestinians killed in Israeli raids in West Bank | Daily Mail | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-13596887/Five-Palestinians-killed-Israeli-raids-West-Bank.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | [

] | [] | Israeli forces killed five Palestinians in two military operations in the occupied West Bank where tensions have risen because of the Gaza war, Palestinian and Israeli sources said Wednesday.
One night-time air strike killed four men at a refugee camp near the town of Tulkarm, which has seen a surge in violence as Israel has intensified raids.
The Palestinian Authority health ministry said the four were "killed as a result of the occupation's bombing of Nur Shams camp".
An Israeli military statement said forces "carried out a precise strike on the terrorist cell," killing four militants it identified as Muhammad Shehade, Muhammad Kanouah, Yazid Shafa and Namer Ibrahim.
The statement said the four were "attempting to plant explosive devices" targeting Israeli soldiers operating in the area.
According to the Palestinian official news agency Wafa, the dead, aged 20 to 25, were killed by a drone near the centre of the camp.
One man was killed by Israeli fire in a separate Israeli operation in the northern West Bank city of Jenin, the Palestinian health ministry said in a statement Wednesday.
The statement identified the man as Nidal Ziad al-Amer, 23.
An Israeli security official told AFP that al-Amer was killed as the Israeli army tried to arrest him for militant activity.
The towns of Jenin and Tulkarm are known as bastions of Palestinian militant activity and are frequently targeted by Israeli raids.
Violence in the West Bank has spiked since the October 7 attack by Hamas against Israel that ignited Israel's offensive in Gaza.
On Monday, a woman and child were killed in an Israeli raid in Nur Shams, according to Palestinian officials. Four others were wounded.
A two-day Israeli operation in April left 14 people dead in Nur Shams, the Palestinian Red Crescent said.
At least 560 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers in the West Bank since the conflict in Gaza began, according to a health ministry tally.
At least 15 Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks in the West Bank over the same period, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures. | 2024-07-03T15:07:50+01:00 | true |

Labour vows to ban online sale of lethal weapons used to kill teens | Metro | https://metro.co.uk/2024/06/24/labour-vows-ban-online-sale-lethal-weapons-used-kill-teens-21095036/ | [

Ronan’s Law would pay tribute to Ronan Kanda, who was just 16 when another teenager murdered him on the streets of Wolverhampton in 2022.
His killer had bought the deadly weapon online using his mother’s name and was able to pick it up without any process of ID verification.
Similar weapons were used in the deaths of 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin in Hainault earlier this year and Shawn Seesahai, 19, who was murdered by two 12-year-olds in Wolverhampton last year.
Labour said the new law would include a comprehensive ban on possession of a wider range of dangerous knives, accompanied by an end-to-end review of online knife sales with tougher enforcement of ID checks.
Ninja swords, samurai swords, machetes and zombie knives would all be outlawed if the legislation goes ahead.
Pooja Kanda, Ronan’s mother, said: ‘I will never understand why the government have continuously disregarded numerous calls for a comprehensive ban on weapons that have no other purpose than to threaten, cause harm or kill.’
She added: ‘The availability of these weapons are fuelling a knife crime epidemic in this country.
‘I am therefore extremely grateful to the Labour Party for making us feel heard and adopting a significant ban as part of their commitment to tackling knife crime.
‘We truly believe that Ronan’s Law will make a key difference to many and although it cannot save our beautiful boy, we know that it can, and will, save the lives of many others.’
The Conservative government announced legislation to ban zombie-style knives and machetes in January, with the aim of plugging a loophole in a 2016 law that meant suppliers were able to simply redesign the weapons.
However, the effort hit a stumbling block in the House of Lords due to the difficulty in defining the blades in a way that was neither too broad – preventing the sale of useful equipment – nor too narrow, allowing suppliers to skirt the law again.
It is unclear how a renewed Labour effort to block the sales of the weapons would avoid these obstacles.
Party leader Keir Starmer said: ‘Ronan Kanda’s family have suffered the most unimaginable loss. Their campaign to make sure no family endures the same is remarkable.
‘If you are a family suffering from the indescribable grief of losing a child due to knife crime, you’re not going to care whether it’s a Labour or Conservative politician who takes action on the issue.
‘What you do want is a sense of resolve from political leaders that they take this issue seriously and want to do what they can to reduce knife crime.
‘I feel strongly about this. we have to work together to try to reduce knife crime. That’s why Labour will introduce Ronan’s Law and take strong action to ban online sales of machetes, zombie knives and ninja swords and put an end to knives being sold to children.’
Alistair Carmichael, the home affairs spokesperson for the Liberal Democrats, said the Conservatives had ‘failed to keep our communities safe’ and that ‘more action is needed to stop knife crime.’
He added: ‘The British public deserves a government that does what actually works to prevent knife crime.
‘That means proper community policing – where officers are visible, trusted and known personally to local people – alongside good-quality youth services which treat the risk factors that lead young people to violence.’
The Conservative Party has been contacted for comment. | 2024-06-24T22:30:00+01:00 | true |
Couple survive 'stressful' renovations and 'love' their house again | Daily Mail | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-13695257/Selfish-woman-slammed-Love-List-viewers-wanting-stay-amazing-house-despite-husband-wanting-bungalow-having-stroke-says-no-regrets-staying.html | [

"Channel 4"
] | A woman who was slammed after refusing to leave her home despite it becoming inaccessible for her husband has revealed she has no regreats.
Sue and Richard, from Mapperley, Nottinghamshire, who had spent the last 30 years in their home, were totally split on whether they should renovate their property or put it up for sale.
In January they appeared on Kirstie and Phil's Love It or List It, with viewers shocked that Sue wanted to keep the house.
Their family home was no longer fit for purpose after Richard had a stroke following a serious cycling accident two years earlier.
He hoped to find a bungalow with an open-plan layout, a downstairs bathroom and fewer steps.
The episode revealed the tough decision made the couple as to whether to 'love it or list it'.
But the couple has now revealed couple are happily still residing in the house.
In the update, Richard said: 'I've always loved this house and the area we in, but after having my stroke, things are a lot more difficult for me.
'We both agreed that the house needed work doing to make it more suitable. I thought it would be easier for us just to move but when I realised what we could do to the house and especially when it was all finished, I just loved it.
'I think the part that has made the most change for me is the kitchen layout and the little seating area.
'If Sue is out, it's easy for me to get myself something to eat and to tidy up afterwards.
'The new toilet in the utility rooms makes it really east for me to use too.'
Sue agreed, delighted that they were able to stay in their home of 30 years. She said: 'When you look at it now, you just think wow, I could never have imagined we'd have been able to do that without help along the way.'
Richard suffered a stroke two years before the show was filmed, which had affected his movement in his right side, as well as his speech, making life around the house more difficult.
In the original episode, Kirstie, who aims for home owners to 'love it' by keeping their home, was given a 'healthy' budget of £50,000 to renovate the large house, which proved successful for the couple, who decided to stay in the familiar home.
Remembering their time with the couple, Kirstie recalled the challenges the two faced when they were trying to find the best solution to the couple's dilemma.
She said to Phill, who had the responsibility of finding a potential new home: 'That was a difficult search because you weren't sort of saying, for joyous reasons, you're looking for something else, you were saying, for emotional and quite difficult reasons, you're looking.'
Phil said: 'Working with Richard showed me that accessibility and aesthetics are not exclusive.'
'It's a very good idea, before you rush to move, to wonder how adaptable your property is,' Kirstie suggested.
Richard's main concern had been is accessibility to the house and the garden.
After experiencing a nasty fall on his bike on the ice two years ago, the retiree had sustained several injuries and later and ended up having a stroke.
Sue described having come back to the house one day to find Richard 'talking gobbledygook' only to realise 'he'd had a stroke'.
'As well as his speech, it also ended up affecting his right-hand side we well so, he can't use his right arm,' his wife explained during the show.
'Originally he couldn't walk at all but you've worked really hard at your rehab,' Sue said lovingly as she praised her husband for his recovery.
Though Richard is unsure as to whether he will ever recover his speech, he made his opinion heard using a 'special app on his tablet' which allows him speak through his device.
Explaining to presenters, Kirstie and Phil , Richard explained why he had initially wanted to leave.
'I want to move because I would like a house that's more suitable for our needs now.'
However, wife Sue was in disagreement over the fate of their 30-year tenure at the house in Mapperly, insisting she didn't want to leave behind the houses 'size of the rooms' and 'beautiful bay windows'.
'We've got amazing views, you can see all over Nottingham,' she said, revealing the beautiful views available through the couple's large downstairs windows.
Part time medical researcher, Sue and retired husband, Richard said they 'fell in love' with their home as soon as they walked in, 30-years-ago.
After Richard's stroke however, he wanted something more 'accessible' that would mean he could get around on one floor, without the difficulty of stairs.
'Then I'd be able to go wherever I wanted in the house and garden. This would give me more independence,' he said.
Without a level surface, Richard struggled to get himself around the house and get access to the garden, however, Sue was keen to avoid the 'hassle' of moving.
'It would be easier to do some tweaks on our house to make it more usable,' she said.
One of the main issues for the couple was the kitchen, which they two struggled co-habit since Richard's accessibility chair made it difficult for the two to manoeuvre around one another.
'Because in the kitchen Richard can only use his left hand, if he wants to get things out or put things away, he needs a stick in that hand so by wheeling himself around and standing up and sitting down, he can put things away,' Sue explained.
The large house had a scullery room which Kirstie had her eyes set on turning into a 'sensational downstairs loo'.
Viewers of the shop took to the comments to air their views on the programme, with one worrying Richard would be happy with the house's renovations.
One wrote: 'I really hope Richard is ok in the revisit, otherwise I'm going to be devastated.'
The pair revealed they have £50,000 to renovate their home but the presenters said adapting a period house to fit modern accessibility would be a challenge.
Sue and Richard’s property search took the couple to an open-plan bungalow in nearby Burton Joyce, Gedling, valued at £435,000.
They also take a look at another bungalow in the Derbyshire village of Breaston, in need of some modernisation but valued at £425,000.
And another three-bed bungalow with a self-contained annex - priced at £595,000 - in Ruddington.
However the pair decided to stay put in the home they have lived in for 30 years and modify it for Richards needs. | 2024-07-31T23:09:41+01:00 | true |

US lawmaker tells Taiwan weapons are coming, China drills show... | Daily Mail | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-13463187/US-lawmaker-tells-Taiwan-weapons-coming-China-drills-deterrence-need.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | [

TAIPEI, May 27 (Reuters) - A senior U.S. lawmaker visiting Taipei said on Monday that weapons Taiwan had ordered are finally on their way, and that China's "intimidating" war games last week underscored the need to boost the island's deterrence abilities.
China claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory and has never renounced the use of force to bring the island under its control. Taiwan's government rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims.
Taiwan has for the last two years complained of delays to deliveries of U.S. weapons, such as Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, as manufacturers supply Ukraine to support its defence against Russia.
Michael McCaul, the Republican chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, who promised those weapons would be delivered when he visited Taiwan last year, said the Chinese military's "armada" last week had sent a very strong message to the United States.
"We are moving forward on those weapons systems. I'd like to see it faster, but they are forthcoming," McCaul told reporters after meeting Taiwan President Lai Ching-te.
Taiwan needs to have sufficient weapons to show Chinese President Xi Jinping that the risk outweighs the rewards of invading the island, he added.
"President Lai and I, as always, had a very sobering and yet very direct conversation about the threat that this island faces from its neighbour to the north, and it's a real one," McCaul said. "Without deterrence, Chairman Xi has bold and aggressive ambitions."
The focus for Taiwan should be on maritime weapons like Harpoon anti-ship missiles, to stymie an invasion, he added.
McCaul also offered reassurance that no matter who won the U.S. presidential election in November, U.S. support for Taiwan would remain.
Lai, meeting McCaul earlier in the presidential office, said he would "enhance national defence capabilities, and show the world the determination of the Taiwanese people to defend their homeland".
China has yet to comment on McCaul's visit. Last year, Beijing placed sanctions on him after his visit to Taiwan and meeting with then-President Tsai Ing-wen.
China has increased its pressure against Taiwan over the past four years, including staging almost daily military activities near the island.
On Monday morning in its daily update on China's movements in the previous 24 hours, Taiwan's defence ministry said it had detected 21 Chinese military aircraft and 11 ships operating nearby.
Later Monday, China announced military exercises to the west of Nanji island, off China's Wenzhou city in Zhejiang province and to the north of Taiwan.
Taiwanese forces evacuated Nanji and the surrounding islands in 1955 under sustained Chinese attack.
Taiwan still controls Kinmen and Matsu islands further down the Chinese coast.
The defeated Republic of China government fled to Taiwan in 1949 after losing a civil war with Mao Zedong's Communists, who set up the People's Republic of China.

People born within three-decade window at higher risk of 17 cancers | Daily Mail | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13693887/gen-x-millennial-high-risk-cancer-older-generations.html | [
"Emily Joshu"
] | [] | Newer generations are at a greater risk of more than a dozen cancers than those that came before them, a major study suggests.
An analysis of tens of millions of diagnoses found millennials (born between 1986-95) and Generation X (1965-85) were more likely to develop 17 forms of cancer than the post World War II Boomer generation.
Included in the 17 are some of the most deadly types of cancer, such as colon cancer and pancreatic and liver cancers.
Obesity and binge drinking are thought to be partly fueling the crisis, though experts are still largely unsure what else is behind the rise.
The rise among new generations threaten to reverse decades of progress fighting the disease. Diagnoses are expected to nearly double from 2020 to 2050 and there are signs death rates are beginning to plateau.
Experts also say the increasing cancer burden will prevent them from contributing to the US economy, causing higher unemployment and slower growth and sending healthcare costs spiraling.
That could spark a vicious cycle where poorer health causes economic struggles, contributing to even worse health from lack of access to treatment.
Dr Ahmedin Jemal, senior study author and senior vice president of surveillance and health equity science at the American Cancer Society, said: 'The increase in cancer rates among this younger group of people indicate generational shifts in cancer risk and often serve as an early indicator of future cancer burden in the country.'
'Without effective population-level interventions, and as the elevated risk in younger generations is carried over as individuals age, an overall increase in cancer burden could occur in the future, halting or reversing decades of progress against the disease.'
'The data highlights the critical need to identify and address underlying risk factors in Gen X and Millennial populations to inform prevention strategies,' he added.
Researchers from the ACS analyzed data from more than 23million patients diagnosed with 34 forms of cancer in a 20-year period. Patients ranged from 25 to 84 years old.
The patients were then divided into cohorts based on their birth years, from 1920 to 1990.
Gen X and millennials were up to three times more likely to develop several forms of cancer than Boomers. These included forms like colorectal cancer, which has been quickly rising in adults under 50.
And as cancer rates declined among older people, incidences in younger patients increased for nine cancers, including breast, uterine, colorectal, ovarian, and testicular cancers.
The finding is in line with other nationwide data warning against an increase in cancer among younger adults.
While part of the rise could be due to increased testing and patients getting better at spotting the disease, the new study shows that increasing lifestyle factors like obesity and drinking could be partly to blame.
The researchers stated that among adults ages 25 to 49, 'the most rapid increases in incidence rates' were seen with pancreatic, small intestine, and kidney and pelvis cancers, which are all linked to obesity and alcohol.
Mortality rates also increased among younger patients for liver, uterine, gallbladder, testicular, and colorectal cancers.
Dr Hyuna Sung, lead study author and senior principal scientist of surveillance and health equity science at the American Cancer Society, said: 'These findings add to growing evidence of increased cancer risk in post-Baby Boomer generations, expanding on previous findings of early-onset colorectal cancer and a few obesity-associated cancers to encompass a broader range of cancer types.'
'Birth cohorts, groups of people classified by their birth year, share unique social, economic, political, and climate environments, which affect their exposure to cancer risk factors during their crucial developmental years.'
'Although we have identified cancer trends associated with birth years, we don’t yet have a clear explanation for why these rates are rising.'
Though the team found no direct cause for these increases, they speculated that obesity could be a major driver in colorectal, uterine, gallbladder, kidney, and pancreatic cancers.
CDC data published last year, for instance, found that 40 percent of Americans are now obese, meaning they have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more. And 30 US states saw increases in obesity from the year before.
Additionally, the team noted that an increase in binge drinking could be to blame for liver cancer, which is largely caused by alcoholism.
According to the latest CDC data, for example, the amount of adults who report binge drinking increased 12 percent between 2011 and 2017.
While the study covered a wide range of cases, it still had some limitations, including some data being missing from cancer registries and some cancers being misidentified.
The findings were published Wednesday in The Lancet Public Health. | 2024-07-31T23:30:49+01:00 | true |

سواء كنت في مطعمك المفضل، تم دعوتك إلى تناول العشاء رفقة الأصدقاء أو تقوم بالطهي في المنزل. فأنت تأمل دوماً في الحصول على طبق لذيذ. ولكن لا يقتصر الأمر على الطعم اللذيذ فحسب، بل أيضاً على الجانب الذي يتم إهماله للأسف في كثير من الأحيان: النظافة. موقع مجلة "اكسبريس" الالمانية يكشف لك عن الأخطاء التي يجب عليك تجنبها عند طهي الطعام.
يقوم كثيرون عند الطهي بتقطيع كل شيء على نفس ألواح التقطيع واستخدام نفس السكين للحوم والخضار. يحذر من يجب لمس السمك النيء باليدين وتجفيفهما بمنشفة المطبخ. لأن الكائنات الحية الدقيقة تنتقل من طعام إلى آخر. على سبيل المثال، من خلال أدوات المطبخ أو أسطح العمل أو حتى الأيدي. وهذا أمر خطير بشكل خاص مع اللحوم و الأسماك النيئة. لهذا ينصح دوماً باستخدم ألواح تقطيع وسكاكين منفصلة لكل من لأطعمة النيئة والأطعمة المطبوخة، وإعداد الخضار بشكل منفصل عن اللحوم والأسماك النيئة.
كثيراً ما نشاهد في الإعلانات كيف يتم تحريك صلصة المعكرونة أو حلوى "البودنغ" ثم تذوقها بالملعقة. لا يشكل ذلك مشكلة، طالما أن الملعة توضع مباشرة في حوض الغسيل بعد ذلك. لكن بعد لعقها، يجب ألا تغمس الملعقة في الطعام مرة أخرى. لأن هذا التصرف يتسبب في تلوث الطعام بالجراثيم. لهذا ينصح باستخدام ملعقتين دوماً. واحدة للتحريك والآخرى للتذوق.
تتكاثر معظم البكتيريا عند درجات حرارة تصل إلى 60 درجة. عند قلي اللحوم، على سبيل المثال، من المهم تسخينها على درجة حرارة كافية للتخلص من مسببات الأمراض المحتملة. لذا يجب أن تصل درجة الحرارة إلى 70 درجة مئوية، وذلك حتى عند إعادة تسخين بقايا الطعام. لهذا ينصح باستخدام مقياس حرارة اللحوم للتأكد من الوصول إلى درجة الحرارة الموصى بها.
إلى جانب اللحوم والأسماك، يمكن أيضاً العثور على الجراثيم الضارة بالصحة في الفواكه والخضروات. ولهذا السبب يجب الحرص دوماً على غسل الفواكه والخضروات بشكل جيد قبل تحضيرها للطهي، لأنه حتى لو كان الطعام يبدو نظيفاً، فإنه ليس بالضرورة كذلك. وينصح بغسل الفواكه والخضروات جيداً تحت الماء الجاري واستخدم فرشاة الخضار إذا لزم الأمر.

Earlier this year, new CEO Sean Summers announced a two-step recapitalisation plan including a rights issue to raise up to 4 billion rand ($217.27 million) and the listing of its crown jewel discount grocer Boxer in order to repay all of its ballooning 6.1 billion rand of debt.
The Ackerman family, which founded Pick n Pay and is its controlling shareholder, has given in-principle support for the proposed plan.
On Monday Pick n Pay said Ackerman Investment Holdings (AIH) would exercise its rights up to a maximum amount of 1.025 billion rand in the offer.
At the same time, AIH and related persons agreed to forego majority shareholder voting control of Pick n Pay, such that their voting rights will fall slightly below 50% after the planned offer, the company added.

] | [] | OROVILLE, Calif. (AP) - Firefighters lined roads to keep flames from reaching homes as helicopters dropped water on a growing wildfire Wednesday in Northern California that has forced at least 13,000 people to evacuate, with another day of extreme heat expected.
The Thompson fire broke out before noon Tuesday about 70 miles (110 kilometers) north of Sacramento, in and around the city of Oroville, in Butte County. It sent up a huge plume of smoke and grew to nearly 4.7 square miles (12.1 square kilometers) by Wednesday morning. It was zero percent contained.
The city of about 20,000 people declared a state of emergency Tuesday night. Several homes have been destroyed, KCRA-TV reported Wednesday. There was no word of injuries. Two evacuation centers were set up in Butte County.
More high temperatures above 100 degrees (37.8 Celsius) were forecast Wednesday, the National Weather Service said.
The governor´s office announced late Tuesday that federal funding had been approved to help with firefighting efforts. Gov. Gavin Newsom this week activated the State Operations Center to coordinate California´s response, dispatch mutual aid and support communities as they respond to threats of wildfire and excessive heat. | 2024-07-03T13:54:03+01:00 | true |

İsrail'in aşırı sağcı Maliye Bakanı Bezalel Smotrich, İsrail’in Filistin hükümeti adına topladığı vergi fonundan 35 milyon doların kesilerek, bu paranın Filistinliler tarafından gerçekleştirilen saldırılarda öldürüldüğü iddia edilen İsraili ailelere aktarılması talimatını verdi.
Israel Today gazetesinde yer alan habere göre Smotrich, Vergi Dairesi'ne "Filistin Yönetimi'nin vergi gelirlerinden 130 milyon şekel (yaklaşık 35 milyon dolar) tutarında kesinti yapılması ve bu paranın Filistinlilerin düzenlediği saldırılarda yakınları öldürülen 28 İsrailli aileye aktarılması" emrini verdi.
Gazete, Smotrich'in kararının, "Filistin Yönetimi'nin (üyelerinin öldürüldüğü iddia edilen) ailelere, İsrail mahkemeleri bunu emretmesine rağmen tazminat ödemeyi reddetmesinden" kaynaklandığını ileri sürdü.
AYLARDIR KESİNTİ YAPILIYOR
Filistin vergi fonları; İsrail'den veya İsrail aracılığıyla Filistin pazarına ithal edilen mallara uygulanan vergi ve harçlar olarak biliniyor. İsrail Maliye Bakanlığı aylık yaklaşık 210 milyon dolara ulaşan bu vergileri yüzde 3'ü karşılığında tahsil ediyor.
İşgal altındaki Filistin, dış ticaretinde İsrail'e bağımlı kalmaya devam ederken, Filistinlilerin ithalat ve ihracatının neredeyse tamamı İsrail'den ya da İsrail kontrolündeki noktalardan yapılıyor.
İsrail, Filistin hükümeti adına toplanan gümrük vergilerinden aylardır kesinti yapıyor.
İsrail yönetimi, Filistin Kurtuluş Örgütü ile 1994'te imzaladığı Paris Ekonomi Protokolü gereğince, kontrolü altındaki sınır kapılarından Filistin yönetimi adına vergi topluyor ve topladığı aylık yaklaşık 190 milyon doları Filistin hazinesine aktarıyordu. İsrail yaklaşık 2 yıldır, Filistin yönetimi adına toplanan vergilerden kesinti yapıyordu.
İsrail Bakanlar Kurulu Kasım 2023'te, Filistin hükümeti adına topladığı vergi fonundan Gazze Şeridi'ne ve Filistinli tutuklulara ayrılan miktarın kesilmesine karar vermişti.
Filistin yönetimi, karar sonrasında vergi fonunu almayı reddederken, Filistin Maliye Bakanlığı, İsrail'in ekimden itibaren Filistin hükümeti adına topladığı vergi fonunun çoğunu kestiğini, bu nedenle fonu almayı reddettiklerini açıklamıştı.

عندما يستقل الشباب الذين تتراوح أعمارهم بين 16 و17 عاماً القطار في ألمانيا هذه الأيام، فإنهم يلاحظون وجود العديد من الملصقات على الرصيف، وهي، إلى حد ما، مخصصة لهم فقط، على سبيل المثال لا الحصر: "استعد لأول مرة". والهدف هو تشجيع الشباب على الإدلاء بأصواتهم في الانتخابات الأوروبيةيوم التاسع من حزيران/يونيو القادم. وقد جاءت الفكرة عن طريق ثلاثة من طلاب التصميم الإعلامي، مايا شتاينباخ وماريا فيكتوريا يونكر وفابيان نافارو.
يقول الطلاب لـ DW: "نريد أن نظهر أن الانتخابات تجربة إيجابية ومثيرة. الشباب في هذا العمر في مرحلة يتخذون فيها قراراتهم المهمة الأولى: أول قبلة، أول علاقة، أول انتخابات". ولأول مرة في الانتخابات الأوروبية، أصبح بإمكان الشباب الذين تبلغ أعمارهم 16 عاماً فما فوق التصويت في ألمانيا. وبالإضافة إلى أكثر من 1000 ملصق في محطات القطار الألمانية، فإن حملة الاتحاد الأوروبي تغطي أكثر من مليون نقطة أخرى. وهنا فإن التحدي يكمن في مخاطبة الشباب بالطريقة المناسبة لجذبهم لا تنفيرهم.
بدأت ديلارا بوركهارت الاهتمام بالسياسة في سن الخامسة عشرة. وكانت تود أن يُسمح لها بالتصويت في وهي بذلك العمر. وفي عام 2019، أصبحت أصغر عضو يدخل البرلمان الأوروبي، وهي الآن في القائمة الاتحادية للحزب الديمقراطي الاشتراكي للمرة الثانية.
"مشاركة من تبلغ أعمارهم 16 عاماً أو أكثر في الانتخابات خطوة مهمة لموازنة الاختلال الديموغرافي وزيادة صوت الشباب في المحافل السياسية. مجتمعنا يشيخ ويندر أن يسمع صوت الشباب في النقاش السياسي"، قالت ديلارا بوركهارت لـ DW.
ووفقا لأرقام يوروستات، هيئة الإحصاء التابعة للاتحاد الأوروبي، احتلت ألمانيا المركز الرابع في أوروبا في عام 2022 بمتوسط عمر 45.8 عاماً، بما يخص شيخوخة المجتمع بعد إيطاليا والبرتغال واليونان. وبطبيعة الحال، فإن ذلك له عواقب على كيفية صنع القرار السياسي ومصالح الفئات التي تؤخذ بعين الاعتبار. وفي أحدث دراسة أجرتها "مؤسسة- فودافون"، لا يزال ثلاثة من كل أربعة شباب تتراوح أعمارهم بين 14 و24 سنة غير راضين عن الطريقة التي تأخذ بها السياسة مصالحهم بعين الاعتبار مص.
التضخم، والحروب في أوكرانيا والشرق الأوسط، وأسعار الإيجارات المرتفعة، وتغير المناخ، من بين القضايا الأكثر إلحاحاً بالنسبة للشباب. بصفتها المتحدثة باسم السياسة البيئية لأعضاء البرلمان الأوروبي من الحزب الاشتراكي الديمقراطي، تقوم ديلارا بوركهارت بحملات لحماية للمناخ وتبقي متابعيها على اطلاع دائم بآخر المستجدات وذلك باستخدام منصات التواصل الاجتماعي كإكس وتيك توك وإنستغرام.
"غالباً ما يتفاجأ الشباب عندما أخبرهم عما أقوم به في بروكسل. ثم يقولون أشياء مثل: 'لم أكن أعلم أن الاتحاد الأوروبي يهتم بهذا الأمر' أو 'أنت تهتم بما نفكر فيه'. ومن ثم يعلقون: 'نلحظ عدم اهتمام الساسة بنا'"، تقول السياسية الشابة لـ DW.
تكشف ديلارا بوركهارت أنها زارت في الآونة الأخيرة مدرسة مهنية وطرحت السؤال التالي على طلاب أحد الصفوف: "ما هي علاقة السياسة بحياتك اليومية؟". لم يرفع أي طالب أو طالبة يده للجواب.
ترى السياسية الشابة أن بعض الساسة لم يدركوا بعد أن الشباب يحصلون في المقام الأول على المعلومات عبر وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي: "على مدى السنوات الخمس الماضية، كنت أحد الزملاء القلائل الذين استخدموا شبكات التواصل الاجتماعي بشكل مكثف للغاية. لكنني لاحظت أيضاً أن العديد من الزملاء يقومون بتنشيط قنواتهم فقط خلال أوقات الحملات الانتخابية. ذلك النهج لا يبني ثقة ولا يفتح قنوات تواصل مع الشباب".
يعتبر البروفيسور هيرمان هوسنر أن أفضل طريقة لمعرفة سبب فشل الأحزاب في العقود الأخيرة تكمن في كيفية تعاطيها مع ملف الشباب. وهيرمان هوسنر هو محامي دولة وقاضي سابق في المحكمة الدستورية الفيدرالية ويكافح منذ 30 عاماً لخفض سن التصويت.
يوضح صوت الشباب في ألمانيا لـ DW: "الديمقراطية تعني أن يكون الجميع قادراً على التصويت. لكن هذا ليس هو الحال، لأن الأشخاص الذين تقل أعمارهم عن 18 عاماً لا يُسمح لهم بالتصويت، فنحن مجرد ديمقراطية غير مكتملة".
في ست ولايات اتحادية، يُسمح الآن للشباب البالغين من العمر 16 عاماً وما فوق بالتصويت في انتخابات الولايات: في هامبورغ، وبريمن، وشليسفيغ هولشتاين، وميكلنبورغ- فوربومرن، وبادن فورتمبيرغ، وبراندنبورغ. ولكن فيما يتعلق بالانتخابات الاتحادية يتطلب السماح بالتصويت من 16 عاماً فما فوق بتعديل القانون الأساسي (الدستور الألماني).
هذا وتمنح ألمانيا وبلجيكا والنمسا واليونان ومالطا الشباب واليافعين الذين تتراوح أعمارهم بين 16 و17 عاماً حق التصويت أيضا في الانتخابات الأوروبية.
"تشير أبحاث الشباب وعلم النفس إلى أنه بين سن الثانية عشرة والرابعة عشرة، يمر الشباب بطفرة في التطور الفكري. وفي هذه السن يمكنهم مثل البالغين التفكير بشكل تجريدي إلى حد كبير، وبشكل منطقي وافتراضي أيضاً. كما يمكنهم كذلك فهم الآخرين ووضع أنفسهم في مكانهم وأخذ اهتماماتهم في عين الاعتبار، إلى جانب إدراك وفهم الروابط المركبة فكرياً".
من جهة أخرى يرى معارضو السماح للشباب واليافعين بالتصويت أن هذه الفئة تفتقر إلى النضج والقدرة على الحكم في القضايا السياسية.
في الانتخابات الفيدرالية الأخيرة، كان 39 بالمائة من جميع الناخبين المؤهلين يبلغون من العمر 60 عاماً فما فوق، في حين أن الذين تتراوح أعمارهم بين 18 إلى 30 عاماً يشكلون 14بالمائة فقط من الناخبين. ويذهب البروفيسور هيرمان هوسنر إلى أبعد من ذلك ويناضل بالفعل من أجل حق التصويت اعتباراً من سن الرابعة عشرة.

يمثل ضابط بالجيش الألماني اليوم الإثنين (27 مايو/أيار 2024)، أمام محكمة ألمانية تنظر في القضية المتهم فيها بالتجسس لصالح جهاز استخبارات روسي،حيث اعترف توماس إتش. (54 عاماً) بجرمه عندما بدأت محاكمته الشهر الماضي أمام محكمة دوسلدورف الإقليمية العليا.
وادعى النقيب المتهم خلال محاكمته تمرير معلومات سرية بدافع الخوف من التصعيد النووي في حرب أوكرانيا، مضيفاً أنه شعر بالقلق بشأن قدرته على إيصال عائلته إلى بر الأمان في حالة وقوع هجوم نووي، موضحاً أنه طلب الاتصال بالجانب الروسي ليعرف في الوقت المناسب متى سيحدث الهجوم، وقال: "إنه أكبر هراء قمت به في حياتي"
وقال مكتب المدعي العام الاتحادي إن الضابط "عرض نفسه على روسيا" من أجل منح القوات المسلحة الروسية أفضلية.
وكان المتهم، الذي يحمل رتبة نقيب، يعمل في المكتب الاتحادي للمعدات وتكنولوجيا المعلومات والدعم أثناء الخدمة في الجيش الألماني، وهي الجهة المسؤولة عن تجهيز القوات المسلحة الألمانية بالمعدات والأسلحة بالإضافة إلى تطوير واختبار وشراء تكنولوجيا الدفاع.
ويشتبه في أن الرجل عرض منذ أيار/مايو 2023 التعاون مع القنصلية العامة الروسية في بون والسفارة الروسية في برلين في عدة مناسبات وبمبادرة منه.
وقال فريق الدفاع إنه خلال فترة مهنية صعبة، تحول الاستهلاك الإعلامي لموكلهم إلى "تليغرام" و"تيك توك"، حيث أصبح غارقاً في الأخبار والدعاية المزيفة. وفي هذا الوقت تقريباً انضم أيضاً إلى حزب "البديل من أجل ألمانيا" اليميني المتطرف.
تجدر الإشارة إلى أن ألمانيا من أكبر الداعمين العسكريين لأوكرانيا في مواجهة الغزو الروسي المستمر. وتقول السلطات الأمنية في ألمانيا إنها كثفت جهودها لمكافحة التجسس الذي تقوم به الأجهزة الروسية.

«Malnata» von Beatrice Salvioni: Ist sie die neue Elena Ferrante? | Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen | https://www.srf.ch/kultur/literatur/italienischer-bestseller-roman-malnata-von-beatrice-salvioni-ist-sie-die-neue-elena-ferrante | [
"Katja Schönherr"
] | [] | In ihrer Heimat Italien war der Roman «Malnata» von Beatrice Salvioni das am meisten erwartete Debüt 2023. Grund dafür dürfte Salvionis Rahmenhandlung gewesen sein: ein Rückblick auf die enge Freundschaft zweier Mädchen und ihr gemeinsames Aufbegehren gegen Konventionen. Dieses Setting erinnert nämlich stark an «Meine geniale Freundin», den ersten Teil von Elena Ferrantes «Neapolitanischer Saga».
Zweifellos hat der italienische Verlag Einaudi gehofft, mit einem neuen Freundinnen-Buch auch Jahre später noch ein wenig vom Ferrante-Hype profitieren zu können. Und es ist geglückt: «Malnata» wurde hochgelobt und in 35 Sprachen übersetzt. Jetzt ist es auch auf Deutsch erschienen.
Italien mitten im Faschismus
Der Roman spielt in den 1930er-Jahren in der Lombardei, im Norden Italiens. Benito Mussolini ist an der Macht, ein Land mitten im Faschismus. Das ist der historische Hintergrund, vor dem sich diese intensive Freundschaftsgeschichte zwischen Maddalena und Francesca entfaltet. Beide sind um die zwölf Jahre.
Francesca stammt aus sogenanntem gutem Hause. Gross geworden ist sie in einem Korsett aus starren Regeln. Stets trägt sie Strumpfhosen und gebügelte Kleider. Und sonntags muss sie mit ihrer Familie in die Kirche. Dort fürchtet sie jedes Mal, etwas falsch zu machen, auf eine verteufelte Fliese zu treten zum Beispiel, und dafür in die Hölle zu kommen.
Mit grosser Faszination beobachtet Francesca ein anderes Mädchen: Maddalena. Sie ist das komplette Gegenteil von Francesca.
Maddalena wird gemieden
Maddalena spielt im Dreck, fängt Fische mit den Händen und lässt sich von Katzen kratzen. Ihr Haar ist schief geschnitten, ihr Gesicht dreckig. Schlurft sie nicht barfuss herum, dann in ausgelatschten Sandalen. Maddalena ist ein Freigeist, der sich nichts sagen lässt und alles hinterfragt. So weigert sie sich beispielsweise auch in der Schule, den «Duce» Mussolini zu ehren.
Maddalena wird von allen nur «Malnata» genannt – daher der Titel des Buchs. «Malnata» bedeutet «Die Unheilbringende». Die meisten im Dorf meiden sie. Ihr freigeistiges Auftreten macht ihnen Angst.
Zwei ungleiche Mädchen
Die brave Francesca und die wilde Maddalena: So ungleich die zwei Mädchen auch sind – sie freunden sich an. Und unter dem Einfluss Maddalenas beginnt nun auch Francesca zunehmend, die Lügen der Erwachsenen zu hinterfragen.
Gemeinsam lehnen sie sich auf: gegen die Rollenerwartung der Männer, gegen militaristisch-faschistisches Denken, gegen die Scheinheiligkeit, die sie umgibt. Sie rebellieren. Und am Ende müssen sie einen hohen Preis zahlen für ihren Kampf um ein selbstbestimmtes Leben.
Die Autorin Beatrice Salvioni ist 29 Jahre alt, und den Vergleich mit Elena Ferrante muss sie ganz und gar nicht scheuen. Ihr ist mit «Malnata» ein beeindruckendes Debüt gelungen, tadellos übersetzt von Anja Nattefort. Ein intensives, sinnliches Leseerlebnis! Wenn Maddalena am Flussufer spielt, spürt man den braunen Schlamm regelrecht an den eigenen Waden. | 2024-06-18T08:27:00+01:00 | true |

] | [] | CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) - South African police have discovered the body of former high jump world champion Jacques Freitag after he went missing last month, local media reported on Wednesday.
The reports said the 42-year-old, who won the 2003 world title in Paris and competed at the 2004 Olympics, had been shot.
His family declined to comment. Police said they found the body in a field near a cemetery in the city of Pretoria. The body had not yet been formally identified by family members.
Freitag's sister, Chrissie Lewis, had appealed for help on social media to find Freitag, who went missing in the predawn hours of June 17 after leaving his mother's house. Lewis said he had struggled with drug addiction after his athletics career ended.
Freitag was among a select group of athletes to win world titles at youth, junior and senior level.

Saudi Arabia pitch stadium concepts in bid to host 2034 World Cup | Daily Mail | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13695463/Saudi-Arabia-stadium-concepts-2034-World-Cup.html | [

"Asia"
] | Saudi Arabia have released a number of stadium concepts ahead of their bid to host the 2034 Word Cup.
The Kingdom first announced their intentions to host the storied competition after it was announced by the sport's governing body that only bidders from Asia or Oceania would be considered for 2034.
Following the announcement, the country moved to take the next step in growing their sporting empire, that has seen them move into football, golf, and, perhaps most noticeably, boxing.
But football could be the focus in 10 years' time, with attention on the Saudi Pro League growing and big money on offer helping the Middle East nation grow their profile in the game.
Hosting a World Cup down the line as that development continues could be the icing on the top of the cake, with a number of stadiums, including one 350ft off the ground, now proposed.
In an executive summary presented by the nation, 15 stadiums across five host cities were pitched - some built, some under constructin and some planned.
The first host city proposed is Riyadh, which is the capital of the country and he hub of where a number of sporting events in the Kingdom have taken place.
Six stadiums in Riyadh have been proposed for use during the competition, including a 92,760-capacity ground to be completed in 2029 titled the Kind Salman International Stadium.
It, according to the pitch will be the 'highest capacity in Saudi Arabia, and become a major center for sports and home to the national team'.
Also featuring in the city is the King Fahad Sports City Stadium, currently existing but under refurbishment, which holds over 70,000 people, the Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Stadium, the New Murabba Stadium, the Roshin Stadium and the Prince Faisal Bin Fahad City Stadium.
In Jeddah, six more stadiums are proposed - three of which existing or under construction and three of which planned.
In Al Khobar, the under construction Armaco Stadium is presented as a host ground, with the King Khalid University Stadium, which is already located in the south east of Abha, also a potential host ground.
Neom, however, could play host to the most eye-catching ground. Pitched to be used up until the quarter-final stage, the Neom Stadium, according to the offical bid, will have its pitch 'situated more than 350 meters above ground'.
'The stadium will be an experience like no other,' the words continue. 'Enwrapped by the city's infrastructure, the stadium is designed to stand out among the world's most iconic landmarks. After the tournament it will be home to NEOM's professional football club and the centerpiece of the city's sporting and active lifestyle program.'
Included in each stadium pitch, meanwhile, is information about each city, including future forecasts in terms of popualtion and tourist numbers and how the country will look in a decade.
The potential rounds to host are also listed with each stadium, with the semi-finals and final set to be held in Riyadh.
Sheik Salman of Bahrain, the most powerful man in Asian football, said of the bid: 'The entire Asian football family will stand united in support of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's momentous initiative, and we are committed to working closely with the global football family to ensure its success.'
Sources close to the corridors of power have told Mail Sport: 'A Saudi World Cup in 2034 isn't just likely, it's basically a done deal. Money has talked again, and the event will be worth billions in new cash for FIFA.'
'The bid is based primarily on a desire for growth; growth of people, football and connections around the world,' Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman wrote in the proposal. 'Hosting the FIFA World Cup is an important step in the growth journey of the sport sector in the Kingdom, which has witnessed great developments and success in recent years.
This has contributed to consolidating its position as an international destination for the most prominent sport events. Hosting the FIFA World Cup™ will culminate the Kingdom's efforts in the sector.' | 2024-07-31T23:29:21+01:00 | true |

] | Police were reportedly called to Phil Foden's £3million mansion in Cheshire due to complaints over a late-night kids' party.
The Sun report that the event ran until midnight and that it was a final straw for residents who have grown tired of the lack of respect being shown by the Foden household.
One said: 'Nobody minds a party or music being played but this is a regular thing at the Fodens.'
Those who live close by are said to have told The Sun that their lives have been 'hell' Foden and his partner Rebecca Cooke moved in with their three children.
The Manchester City star's parents also have a mansion of their own in the neighbourhood.
The allegations against the Fodens stem from loud gangster rap regularly being played late at night and their dog barking all day.
In an open letter, residents in his road in Prestbury, Cheshire, branded him 'selfish' and called for City to get involved.
Cheshire Police acknowledged the complain but told neighbours to contact the council.
Foden's childhood sweetheart Cooke gave birth to their third child during Euro 2024 with her partner briefly leaving the England camp to be with her.
Their four-year-old son Ronnie is a popular figure with fans with four million followers on Instagram.
Foden is currently enjoying an extended break after England made it all the way to the final of the European Championship.
The Three Lions fell short for the second time in successive Euros, losing to Spain in the final.
Foden had a disappointing tournament by his standards, starting all seven matches but failing to register a goal or an assist. | 2024-07-31T23:01:05+01:00 | true |

] | PARIS, July 27 — Seven out of 10 French high speed trains will run Saturday on three key routes, a day after saboteurs paralysed much of the train network as the Olympic Games started in Paris.
No immediate claim of responsibility was made for the coordinated overnight arson attacks on cabling boxes at junctions strategically picked out north, south-west and east of the French capital where the Olympics opening ceremony was staged on Friday night.
Rail workers thwarted an attempt to destroy safety equipment on a fourth line in what the SNCF rail company called a “massive attack”.
“On the North, Brittany and South-West high-speed lines, seven out of 10 trains on average will run with delays of one to two hours,” SNCF said in a statement.
It said SNCF “agents worked all night under difficult conditions in the rain to allow to improve traffic on high-speed lines affected by the acts of sabotage.
“At this stage, traffic will remain disrupted on Sunday on the North axis and should improve on the Atlantic axis for weekend returns,” it said.
“Customers will be contacted by text message and email to confirm the running of their trains.”
SNCF estimated that about 250,000 passengers were affected on Friday. Junior transport minister Patrice Vergriete said 800,000 could face the fallout over the three days.
The coordinated attacks were staged at 4am (0200 GMT) early Friday. — AFP | 2024-07-27T09:33:08+01:00 | true |

شنت إسرائيل غارة جوية بالقرب من مدينة رفح جنوبي قطاع غزة استهدفت خياماً للنازحين الفلسطينيين، وفقاً لما قاله مسعفون فلسطينيون ليل الأحد.
وقال الهلال الأحمر الفلسطيني عبر منصة التواصل الإجتماعي "إكس"، تويتر سابقا، قتل وأصيب عدد كبير من الأشخاص في قصف شمال غربي مدينة رفح. وتحدث المسعفون في قطاع غزة عن مقتل 35 شخصاً على الأقل.
وجاء الهجوم بعد أيام قليلة من صدور أمر محكمة العدل الدولية في لاهاي لإسرائيل بوقف هجومها على رفح.
وأظهرت المقاطع المصورة من مكان الحادث النيران مشتعلة في الملاجئ المؤقتة. ولم يتضح بعد عدد الأشخاص المحاصرين أو تحت الأنقاض.
وقال الهلال الأحمر الفلسطيني إن الغارة الجوية استهدفت منطقة إنسانية كانت مخصصة لأولئك الذين أجبروا على إخلاء رفح بسبب الحرب الإسرائيلية. وأفادت منظمة أطباء بلا حدود أن منشأة طبية تدعمها المنظمة في المنطقة وصل إليها عشرات الجرحى وأكثر من 15 قتيلاً.
وقالت المنظمة في العاشر من الشهر الجاري:"شعرنا بالفزع من هذا الحدث المميت، والذي يظهر مرة أخرى أنه لا يوجد مكان آمن. ونحن نواصل الدعوة إلى وقف فوري ومستدام لإطلاق النار في غزة".
وقالت السلطات الصحية التابعة لحماس في قطاع غزة ، إن عدد الضحايا الفلسطينيين في هذه الغارة لا يقل عن 35 قتيلا. يذكر أن حركة حماس هي مجموعة مسلحة فلسطينية إسلاموية، تصنفها ألمانيا والاتحاد الأوروبي والولايات المتحدة ودول أخرى على أنها منظمة إرهابية.
أما الجيش الإسرائيلي فقال في بيان عبر منصة إكس إن اثنين من كبار مسؤولي حماس قتلا في "الغارة الجوية الدقيقة"، مضيفاً أنه يحقق في الواقعة بعد أنباء ذكرت أن القصف تسبب في اندلاع حريق وإصابة مدنيين.
وقال بيان الجيش: "قصفت طائرة عسكرية مجمعاً لحماس في رفح حيث كان يعمل إرهابيون مهمون بالحركة.. نفذت الضربة ضد أهداف مشروعة بموجب القانون الدولي واستخدمت قذائف دقيقة واستندت إلى مخابرات دقيقة أشارت إلى استخدام حماس للمنطقة".
وأضاف البيان أن"الجيش الإسرائيلي على علم بالتقارير التي تشير إلى أنه نتيجة للغارة والحرائق التي تسببت بها، أصيب العديد من المدنيين في المنطقة. وأن الحادث قيد المراجعة".
من جانبها دعت منظمة العفو الدولية المحكمة الجنائية الدولية إلى فتح تحقيق في "جرائم حرب" على إثر ثلاث غارات إسرائيلية في وسط قطاع غزة وجنوبه أدت إلى مقتل 44 مدنيا فلسطينيا بينهم 32 طفلا في نيسان/أبريل.
وقالت المسؤولة في منظمة العفو الدولية إريكا غيفارا روساس في بيان إن "هذه الضربات المدمرة أهلكت عائلات وأودت بحياة 32 طفلاً"، مؤكدة أن تحقيق المنظمة يوفر "أدلة أساسية تشير إلى هجمات غير قانونية منسوبة إلى الجيش الإسرائيلي".
وأجرت منظمة العفو الدولية مقابلات مع 17 ناجياً وشاهداً وزارت مستشفى يعالج فيه الجرحى والتقطت صور شظايا. وأضافت أنه في الحالات الثلاث "لم تجد المنظمة أي دليل على وجود أهداف عسكرية في المواقع التي استهدفها الجيش الإسرائيلي أو في محيطها"، مشيرة إلى أنها لم تتلق حتى الآن ردوداً على أسئلتها من الجيش الإسرائيلي.
وفقاً لمنظمة العفو الدولية، فإن غارة 16 نيسان/أبريل على المغازي طالت شارعاً كان فيه أطفال يلعبون كرة قدم الطاولة، ما أسفر عن مقتل 10 منهم تراوح أعمارهم بين 4 إلى 15 عاماً وخمسة رجال.
وفي رفح، أصابت قنبلة جوية في 19 نيسان/أبريل منزل أبو رضوان وهو موظف متقاعد، ما أدى إلى مقتل تسعة من أفراد الأسرة، بينهم ستة أطفال، وفق المنظمة. وفي 20 نيسان/أبريل، دمرت غارة منزل عائلة عبد العال في شرق رفح، مسفرة عن مقتل 20 شخصاً هم 16 طفلاً وأربع نساء وعن إصابة طفلين آخرين.
وكتبت منظمة العفو الدولية أنه "يجب على المحكمة الجنائية الدولية فتح تحقيق في جرائم الحرب" في هذه الضربات الثلاث.

Conor Gallagher TURNS DOWN three-year contract extension from Chelsea | Daily Mail | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13695755/Conor-Gallagher-TURNS-three-year-contract-extension-Chelsea-amid-Atletico-Madrid-33-7m.html | [

"Chelsea"
] | Conor Gallagher has turned down a new three-year contract extension with Chelsea – offered to him in early June and again as recently as Wednesday – amid talk of a £33.7million move to Atletico Madrid.
The two-year deal with the option of a third would have boosted the England international to a salary comparable to those of the highest earners in Chelsea’s midfield.
He also previously turned down interest in an extension in 2022 due to his desire to play games.
Chelsea understood that stance at that time, but he then turned into a regular starter throughout the 2023-24 season under Mauricio Pochettino, often wearing the captain’s armband in Reece James’s absence.
There is a suspicion that Gallagher wants to join Atletico, who have agreed terms on a transfer with Chelsea believed to be worth £33.7m plus add ons.
The Blues are now willing to help him see through that move if he tells them that is his desire, as they would rather he join a European club over a direct Premier League rival.
Aston Villa submitted a club-record bid in June which was understood to be superior to the terms on offer from Atletico, but Gallagher decided to stay. | 2024-07-31T23:30:46+01:00 | true |

Seit der Aufstockung auf 24 Teams auf die EM 2016 hin reichten 3 Punkte bei einem ausgeglichenen Torverhältnis immer aus, um die K.o.-Runde zu erreichen. Nati-Trainer Murat Yakin und sein Team stehen also schon mit einem Bein im Achtelfinal.
Weiter geht die EURO-Kampagne am Mittwoch mit dem Duell mit Schottland. Die «Bravehearts», die zum Auftakt beim 1:5 gegen Gastgeber Deutschland Prügel bezogen, sind gefordert: «Sie werden gegen die Schweiz alles reinwerfen», ist SRF-Nati-Experte Benjamin Huggel überzeugt. «Eine zweite Niederlage wäre in der Heimat nur schwer zu vermitteln.»
Von der Nati fordert er hohe Lauf- und Zweikampfbereitschaft, um dagegenzuhalten. Die Schotten haben das Potenzial, ihren Gegnern wehzutun, «also muss man sie am Spielaufbau hindern und daran, das Spiel aufzuziehen. Wenn man die Schotten unter Druck setzt und sie wenig Raum haben, kann man sie in Schach halten. Technisch sind sie okay, aber nicht super.» Zudem punkten sie mit bewährten britischen Stärken: Standards, Kopfballstärke und Wucht.
Bringt Shaqiri Kreativität?
Die Nati schaffte den Startsieg über Ungarn derweil auch dank überraschender Aufstellung. Mit Michel Aebischer und Kwadwo Duah rotierte Yakin zwei Spieler ins Team, die nicht unbedingt zu erwarten waren. Für Huggel keine einmalige Sache: «Ich gehe davon aus, dass er gegen Schottland wieder eine Überraschung bieten wird. Wer es wird, ist schwierig vorauszusagen, da die letzten Nati-Trainings vor dem Spiel geschlossen sind.»
Bei allem «Kaffeesatzlesen» könnte sich Huggel einen Einsatz von Xherdan Shaqiri von Anfang an vorstellen, weil man gegen die Briten «Kreativität braucht». Gleichzeitig überzeugte den Experten das Pressing der gegen Ungarn bewährten Offensive. Die Antwort auf die Frage «Wer wird gegen Schottland Mister X?» muss also noch warten. Spätestens eine Stunde vor Spielbeginn, also am Mittwochabend um 20:00 Uhr, wird das Geheimnis gelüftet. | 2024-06-18T08:11:00+01:00 | true |

Adrien Rabiot and Memphis Depay lead the free agents making waves... | Daily Mail | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-13596653/Adrien-Rabiot-Memphis-Depay-lead-free-agents-making-waves-Euro-2024.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | [
"Associated"
] | [] | DUESSELDORF, Germany (AP) - The players on teams like Germany, England, France and Spain in the Euro 2024 quarterfinals mostly come from the biggest clubs. But some don't have a club at all.
France midfielder Adrien Rabiot and Netherlands forward Memphis Depay lead a small group of Euro 2024 stars who are free agents, following the June 30 deadline for contracts to expire. Each game is a chance to impress new clubs and potentially earn a bigger new contract.
Here's a look at the Euro 2024 free agents:
ADRIEN RABIOT
The 29-year-old midfielder has started all four of France's games at Euro 2024 and was a standout performer in the opening 1-0 win over Austria. A trusted regular for coach Didier Deschamps, Rabiot hasn't missed a competitive game for France in more than a year, but that run will come to an end in the quarterfinals against Portugal on Friday. That's because Rabiot is suspended after picking up his second booking of the tournament for a foul on Belgium's Jérémy Doku on Monday. That was a day after Rabiot became a free agent when his Juventus contract expired.
MEMPHIS DEPAY
Until Sunday an Atletico Madrid player, Depay has started all of the Netherlands' games at Euro 2024 and scored in the 3-2 group-stage loss to Austria. In the 3-0 win over Romania on Tuesday, his movement helped create space for players like Cody Gakpo, Xavi Simons and Donyell Malen to shine. The Netherlands' next game is Saturday against Turkey for a semifinal spot. The 30-year-old former Manchester United and Barcelona forward joined Atletico in Jan. 2023. Atletico highlighted his goal to level the score against Inter Milan in the Champions League in March as one that "will remain forever in the memory of the supporters."
LUKA MODRIC
The 38-year-old midfield great was still under contract with Real Madrid when he played all three of Croatia's group-stage games at Euro 2024. He broke the tournament record as the oldest-ever goalscorer too. Modric's contract expired Sunday night but he's widely expected to sign a one-year extension to take him into a 13th season with Madrid. He said "see you next season" during the celebrations when Madrid won the Champions League final last month.
OTHERS
Two of Turkey's most experienced players, Yusuf Yazici and Cenk Tosun, became free agents during Euro 2024. Both have been fringe players at the tournament and were left on the bench in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Austria in the last 16, though Tosun scored the winning goal against the Czech Republic in the group stage.
Romania had two free agents, goalkeeper Florin Nita and defender Andrei Burca, in the lineup that lost to the Netherlands, while Slovakia and Norbert Gyomber were seconds away from creating a big shock against England in the round of 16 on Sunday, but instead lost 2-1 in extra time. The defender left Italian club Salernitana by mutual agreement the next morning and is now a free agent.
Scotland was the first team eliminated from Euro 2024 on June 23. Four of its players became free agents a week later. They are forward Ché Adams, whose Southampton contract expired, defender Scott McKenna and midfielders Ryan Jack and Stuart Armstrong.

Cyclone Remal kills four, snaps power links to millions in India,... | Daily Mail | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-13463291/Cyclone-Remal-kills-four-snaps-power-links-millions-India-Bangladesh.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | [

SATKHIRA, Bangladesh, May 27 (Reuters) - Strong gales and heavy rain brought by cyclone Remal lashed the coastlines of India and Bangladesh on Monday, killing at least four people and cutting electricity supply to millions before losing intensity.
The year's first cyclone in the region is the latest of the frequent storms that have pounded the low-lying coasts of the South Asian neighbours in recent years, as climate change drives up surface temperatures at sea.
Fierce winds snapped power lines, uprooted poles and trees and snatched the roofs off some tin and thatched houses while the rain and high tides damaged some embankments and flooded coastal areas.
"We have had no electricity since night, my mobile battery will run out anytime," said Rahat Raja, a resident of Bangladesh's coastal district of Satkhira. "By Allah's grace, the cyclone was not as violent as we thought."
Nearly 3 million people in Bangladesh were without electricity, officials of its power ministry said.
Both nations moved nearly a million people to storm shelters, about 800,000 of them in Bangladesh, and roughly 110,000 in India, authorities said.
Two people were killed in Bangladesh as they headed to cyclone shelters at the 11th hour, said disaster management chief Mijanur Rahman.
"People are usually very reluctant to leave their livestock and homes to go to cyclone shelters," he said. "They wait until the last minute when it is often too late."
Authorities will need more time to gauge the full extent of losses, he added.
The storm, packing speeds of up to 135 kph (84 mph), crossed the area around Bangladesh's southern port of Mongla and the adjoining Sagar Islands in India's eastern state of West Bengal late on Sunday, Indian weather officials said.
It began making landfall in India at about 9 p.m., a process that ran for about five hours, weather officials added, before weakening into a cyclone during Monday morning.
Now it is expected to move northeast and weaken further, bringing more rain to states there, they added, as winds and rains eased.
One person was crushed to death by falling concrete in the state capital of Kolkata, authorities said, while a woman died when a mud home collapsed on the island of Mousuni in the Sundarbans delta.
High tides breached some protective river embankments in the area, home to some of the world's largest mangrove forests, which is shared by India and Bangladesh.
Rain flooded roads and disrupted travel in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, where authorities gearing for the storm set up nearly 8,000 cyclone shelters and drafted in 78,000 volunteers.
India's navy put ships, aircraft, divers and medical supplies on standby for rescue operations.
POWER SUPPLY HIT
Though early warnings and timely evacuation helped avert major casualties, the storm took a heavy toll of utilities in both countries.
Bangladesh shut down electricity supply to many areas in advance to avoid accidents, while many coastal towns were left in the dark as fallen trees and snapped electricity lines disrupted supply, power ministry officials said.
Reports of at least 356 uprooted electricity poles and damage to scores of transformers flowed in early during the storm's landfall in India, said Arup Biswas, the power minister in its state of West Bengal.
Kolkata resumed flights on Monday after more than 50 were cancelled on Sunday, when the storm forced suspension of operations, while suburban train services were also restored.
Rains brought by the storm flooded many streets, television images showed, with reports of wall collapses and at least 52 fallen trees, some of them blocking roads.
Bangladesh suspended operations in its ports of Mongla and nearby Chittagong.

] | Southampton secured an immediate return to the Premier League on Sunday by beating Leeds 1-0 at Wembley Stadium in the Championship playoff final, the richest one-off match in world soccer.
An uplift of £140-million ($243.6-million) in future earnings from broadcast revenue and prize money is guaranteed for the south-coast club thanks to Adam Armstrong’s 24th-minute winner at England’s national stadium.
Southampton is heading back up to the lucrative Premier League alongside Leicester and Ipswich, which took the automatic promotion spots in the Championship.
As for Leeds, whose U.S. ownership group contains major-winning golfers Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, the club’s playoff woes continued.
This was the sixth time Leeds has failed to go up via the postseason series. Making it even more painful is the fact that Leeds finished third in the regular season – three points above fourth-place Southampton – and missed out on automatic promotion after winning only one of its last six games.
Leeds had no answer, barely troubling Southampton’s five-man defence in what proved to be a tame ending to the season for one of England’s most celebrated clubs which – like Southampton – was relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2022-23 season.
Southampton is the team of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and is owned by Sport Republic, an investment firm in the sports and entertainment industry fronted by Dragan Solak – the founder of eastern European telecommunications giant United Group. Solak was at Wembley, but it wasn’t immediately clear if Sunak was.
Southampton was in the Premier League from 2012-2023, a period notable for the club churning out a raft of talented academy players, following in the footsteps of the likes of Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott.

Is it enough to save his job?
“I’m not satisfied with it, we have to do better, and if they don’t want me any more then I go somewhere else to win trophies because that is what I did my whole career,” a defiant Ten Hag said. “We are constructing a team and when I took over it was a mess at Manchester United.”
First-half goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo set up the win. City piled the pressure on after the break and eventually pulled a late goal back through substitute Jeremy Doku.
United’s owners were watching on from the executive seats at Wembley and have a decision to make.
“We are all very proud of the players and the staff who work tirelessly to support them,” new co-owner Jim Ratcliffe said.
The British billionaire bought a 27.7-per-cent stake in United in February and is overhauling the club. There’s widespread anticipation that Ten Hag will become the latest casualty of his revamp regardless of the cup final triumph.
That theory will be put to the test after this win, which deprived crosstown rival City of the first back-to-back English league and cup doubles and also saw United qualify for the Europa League next season.
It is United’s 13th FA Cup, one behind Arsenal’s record of 14. And it is Ten Hag’s second trophy after winning the League Cup last year.
Players and staff embraced him on the field after the final whistle and fans cheered rapturously as he went to collect the trophy in front of the co-owners, Americans Joel and Avram Glazer and Ratcliffe.
Victory, however, came after United’s worst league season in 34 years.
PSG wins the French Cup
VILLENEUVE D’ASCQ, France – Paris Saint-Germain beat Lyon 2-1 in the French Cup final and completed the double in Kylian Mbappé’s last game for the club on Saturday. France winger Ousmane Dembélé and Spain midfielder Fabián Ruiz scored for PSG in the first half. Lyon defender Jake O’Brien got a consolation goal in the second half. PSG won the league and cup for the first time since 2020 when it achieved a domestic treble by also lifting the now defunct League Cup. Despite losing in the final, Lyon still qualified for the Europa League by finishing sixth in the league.
Bayer Leverkusen wins German Cup
BERLIN – Granit Xhaka’s early strike was enough for Bayer Leverkusen to win the German Cup final 1-0 over Kaiserslautern for an unbeaten domestic double on Saturday. Xhaka fired the ball in under the crossbar from distance in the 16th minute. It proved to be enough against second-division Kaiserslautern despite losing defender Odilon Kossounou to a second yellow card just before the break. Leverkusen won the Bundesliga unbeaten, a historic feat. The only blip on the record of Xabi Alonso’s team this season was losing the Europa League final to Atalanta 3-0 on Wednesday in Dublin. That ended Leverkusen’s record 51-game unbeaten run across all competitions. It was its only loss in 53 games this season.
Celtic beats Rangers in Scottish Cup final
GLASGOW, Scotland – Adam Idah’s dramatic last-minute strike earned Celtic a 1-0 win over Rangers in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park on Saturday. Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers missed a couple of chances in a goalless first half and replacement Abdallah Sima put the ball in the net in the 59th minute, only for referee Nick Walsh to rule it out for a foul on Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart. Canadian international Alistair Johnston started for Celtic and played the full 90 minutes. Celtic completed another domestic double after winning its third successive Premiership last week.

In Istanbul, Galatasaray clinched the Turkish league title on Sunday, edging city rival Fenerbahce with a record total of 102 points.
In Rome, Atalanta followed up its Europa League title with a 3-0 win over Torino in Serie A on Sunday and ended Roma’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
In Herning, Denmark, FC Midtjylland took advantage of a slip-up by Brondby on a dramatic final day in the Danish league season to win the title on Sunday as Midtjylland drew 3-3 at home to Silkeborg.
In Brussels, Club Brugge completed a late surge to the Belgian title as a goalless draw at home to neighbours Cerle Brugge on Sunday ensured them a sixth championship in the past nine seasons. | 2024-05-27T07:06:19.811000+01:00 | false |

Man Utd issue Jadon Sancho statement after showdown meeting with Erik ten Hag | Daily Express | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1922565/Man-Utd-news-Jadon-Sancho-Erik-ten-Hag | [

Manchester United have released a statement revealing that Jadon Sancho has returned to training with the squad. The winger was sent out on loan to Borussia Dortmund last season after he publicly clashed with Erik ten Hag. Sancho was left unhappy after he was axed from United’s squad to face Arsenal and his manager hinted that his training levels were an issue.
The England international took to social media to deny those claims and hit back, prompting Ten Hag to demand an apology from the playmaker. Sancho refused and was therefore exiled from the squad before being allowed to leave the club on loan in January.
With Ten Hag remaining in the Old Trafford dugout next season, a permanent sale of Sancho was expected. However, the pair now appear to have buried the hatchet.
United have announced that Sancho is back in first-team training ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, with a plan in place which will see him feature in pre-season for the Red Devils.
They announced: “A group of senior players including the likes of Andre Onana, Casemiro, Mason Mount and Marcus Rashford all returned to base on Monday, ready to get to work.
“Jadon Sancho returned for testing on Wednesday following his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund during the second half of last season. The 24-year-old forward then trained with the group on Thursday.”
According to The Mirror, Ten Hag and Sancho have held ‘positive talks’ at Carrington to discuss the incident. Both parties are said to have agreed to apologise for their respective roles in the bust-up.
Sancho was keen to permanently join Dortmund this summer after his successful short-term return to the Signal Iduna Park but United’s asking price was too significant, prompting Sir Jim Ratcliffe to demand that the winger meet with Ten Hag to thrash out their problems. | 2024-07-12T17:59:00+01:00 | true |
UN launches global principles to combat online hate and demands big... | Daily Mail | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-13565029/UN-launches-global-principles-combat-online-hate-demands-big-tech-action-now.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | [
"Associated"
] | [] | UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The United Nations chief on Monday launched global principles to combat online hate and lies and demanded that big tech companies use their power to reduce the harm they are doing to people and societies around the world.
Secretary-General António Guterres also demanded that advertising and public relations companies "stop monetizing harmful content" and strengthen information integrity. He urged media outlets "to raise and enforce editorial standards" and governments to commit to creating and maintaining a free and independent media landscape.
Guterres said the principles, laid out at a news conference, are the result of consultations with the 193 U.N. member nations, youth leaders, academia, the media and civil society including tech companies.
The principles call on tech companies, advertisers, media and other key players to refrain from using, supporting or amplifying disinformation and hate speech.
All parties involved in the development of artificial intelligence should take urgent and transparent measures to ensure that all AI applications are designed, deployed and used safely, securely, responsibly and ethically, and uphold human rights, according to the principles.
They also call for tech companies to ensure safety and privacy and allow users greater choices and control over their online experience and personal data, and for all key parties to ensure special protections for children.
Guterres stressed that big tech companies have "an outsized responsibility."
"Take responsibility," he demanded. "Acknowledge the damage your products are inflicting on people and communities."
Guterres demanded that the companies take action.
"You have the power to mitigate harm to people and societies around the world," he said, "You have the power to change business models that profit from disinformation and hate."
As for advertisers and the PR industry, the U.N. chief singled out the coordinated disinformation campaigns seeking to undermine action to address the climate crisis.
"Creatives - don´t use your talents to greenwash," Guterres said. "PR agencies - look for clients who aren´t misleading people and destroying our planet."
He called on the media to provide "quality journalism based on facts and reality" and find advertisers that are part of the solution, not the problem. And he urged governments to protect journalists, uphold human rights, refrain from internet shutdowns and other drastic measures and respect the right to freedom of expression and opinion.
Guterres said all countries should have a vested interest in not promoting misinformation, "because sooner or later the truth is discovered."
He stressed that the principles "aim to empower people to demand their rights."
"No one should be at the mercy of an algorithm they don´t control, which was not designed to safeguard their interests, and tracks their behavior to collect personal data and keep them hooked," he said.
Guterres, when asked how the U.N. can ensure that tech companies and advertising and PR agencies take the U.N. principles to heart and take action, pointed to their staff who are parents, citizens and "are interested in `do no harm.´" | 2024-06-24T22:31:39+01:00 | true |

Henry Patten said it is “surreal” reaching a Wimbledon final after starting his SW19 career compiling the courtside stats when Andy Murray won his second title.
The Colchester-born left-hander went to university in the USA and Durham before turning pro.
And now the Ipswich Town fan, 28, and his Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara will play on Centre Court for the first time on Saturday against Aussie No.15 seeds Jordan Thompson and Max Purcell in the men’s doubles final.
But Patten revealed he is much more familiar with the outside courts in his circuitous route to the top.
“I worked here in the summers while I was at college,” he recalled. “I worked for IBM doing the courtside stats. During college I was never intending to play professional tennis.
“You're either put in the outside courts team or if you're good and switched on then you get put on the show court team and I was always on the outside. In the first year I was absolutely buzzing because you're right next to the tennis.
“And then about four days in you just break down. It's brutal. Maybe that's why I wasn't I wasn't promoted! But it was a good experience. I did it in 2016 and 2017.
“When I'm playing I can usually see them, especially on the outside courts, in an IBM T shirt sitting in front of a computer just tapping buttons and inputting all of the data.”
Patten attended the University of North Carolina Asheville from 2015 to 2019 and then did a post-grad year in Durham. He reached world No.462 in singles before concentrating on doubles and has won 12 Challenger doubles titles - including a record 10 in 2022 with Julian Cash.
Patten teamed up with veteran Heliovaara in April and have won 28 of their 32 matches together including ATP titles in Marrakech and Lyon.
“Every single year I would watch Wimbledon and it's surreal for me given a very traditional pathway to the professional game,” he said. “It's surreal to even be playing. I feel very privileged to be able to be a part of the final here.” | 2024-07-12T18:07:00+01:00 | true |

Nick Kyrgios jokingly accused BBC colleague John McEnroe of ignoring his text messages during Wimbledon. The Aussie has been providing commentary for the Beeb during this summer’s Championships, often sitting alongside tennis icon McEnroe.
Kyrgios has struggled with injuries for the last 18 months. However, he is now battling back and has been training away from his BBC duties.
The 29-year-old has been practising with Wimbledon semi-finalist Novak Djokovic on the outside courts. But he has now hinted that he reached out to McEnroe for a hitting session - but had his approach ignored.
Asked if he plans to continue playing or whether he feels more comfortable doing commentary, Kyrgios said: “I want to do both moving forward. I love being here and watching it and analysing it.
But I do miss being out there. You know the rush it brings and I want to give the fans something to remember - whether it’s good or bad.”
Asked about his fitness, the Aussie added: I’m good. I had a two-hour practice this morning. I’ve been hitting with Novak every other day. It’s good and everything is going well.
“I’ve been trying to get Jonny Mac to get out there but he won’t even reply to my messages!”
McEnroe quipped: “I don’t believe that for a second! You ready at four tomorrow?”
Kyrgios responded: “Yeah, that’s possible.”
Hiring the 2022 Wimbledon finalist was a major coup for the BBC. Kyrgios’s outspoken style is box-office viewing for tennis fans.
He was speaking during Djokovic’s semi-final clash with Lorenzo Musetti. The pair were playing for a chance to meet reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday’s final.
Alcaraz defeated Daniil Medvedev 6-7 6-3 6-4 6-4 earlier on Friday. The Spaniard overcame a first-set defeat to beat the Russian, whose spat with the umpire earned him a formal warning for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Medvedev appeared to shout “F*** you” at Eva Asderaki-Moore.
Alcaraz reflected on his triumph: "[I am] trying to do different things. I tried not to play long rallies, tried to hit drop shots and go to the net as much as I can. Try not to play his game.
“There were a few points with really long rallies but I tried to play my own game and not pass 10 or 12 shots in the points. It was difficult to break the wall."

Dass Georgien überhaupt zum ersten Mal an einem Grossanlass teilnimmt, haben sie insbesondere Nika Kvekveskiri zu verdanken. Der 32-jährige Mittelfeldspieler, der auch im aktuellen EM-Kader figuriert, verwandelte im Playoff-Spiel gegen Griechenland den entscheidenden Elfmeter zum 4:2. Ohne grossen Druck können die Georgier nun die Europameisterschaft geniessen.

The school summer holidays are in full swing but if you are yet to book a getaway there is still time to bag a bargain break.
Consumer group Which? has drawn up a list of six sizzling destinations for sunseekers looking for a last-minute getaway.
If you're after a UK holiday - or staycation - Which? recommended Wales' Pembrokeshire, an alternative to Cornwall but "without the crowds".
Sites such as the historic harbour town of Tenby, as well as the smallest city in the UK, St Davids, are top picks in Which's survey of the UK's best seaside towns.
You also have nearby Barafundle Bay, considered one of the country's most beautiful beaches with its vivid blue waters and dune-backed secluded sands, reports the Mirror.
Which? described July as the "best time to take a gamble on the changeable Welsh weather". However, if you're looking to go slightly further afield, the European destinations of Provence in France and Majorca, Spain, were among the site's short-haul locations.
While many may flock to the French Riviera, Which? suggested looking to this southern French region, known for golden fields of sunflowers, expansive lavender fields and wild rocky gorges. The region boasts around 300 days of sunlight a year, with July being no exception.
It's a hub for wine lovers, with one of the region's most famous gastronomic exports being Provence rosé.
Or why not jet off to Majorca, the Balearic Island gem that's not just about the nightlife and beaches? With temperatures soaring to 29C in July, it's a nature lover's paradise.
Take a hike along the breathtaking cliffs of Serra de Tramuntana or lose yourself in the medieval streets of Palma. And if you're there in mid-July, don't miss the festival of the Virgen del Carmen, honouring the patron saint of mariners.
For those with a penchant for long-haul adventures, Which? recommends Nova Scotia in Canada, Seattle in the USA, and the diverse landscapes of Kenya for your July getaway. Nova Scotia, on Canada's picturesque east coast, is a haven for marine life enthusiasts and offers some of the best whale-watching vistas.
Bask in the summer sun on Nova Scotia's pristine white sand beaches. Plus, it's a budget-friendly alternative to Canada's more frequented destinations.
Which? advises: "Make sure to visit Peggy's Cove and its iconic octagonal lighthouse, perched on a granite outcrop. Brightly-coloured clapboard houses and stacked lobster pots only add to the salty charm. It may be high-season, but Nova Scotia isn't as busy - or as pricey - as other parts of Canada at this time of year."
Another top pick from North America is Seattle, the largest city in Washington State on the US's east coast. This coastal city has given birth to some of the world's biggest brands, including Microsoft and Starbucks.
When in Seattle, don't miss out on visiting the iconic Space Needle skyscraper, the Museum of Pop Culture and the historic Pioneer Square. Which? suggests: "A Seattle dog will fuel your sightseeing: the city's unique spin on the hot dog, with plenty of fried onions and cream cheese added to your sausage."
Finally, Which? recommends Kenya in East Africa as one of the best long-haul destinations for July. Despite being winter in Africa during July, it's the perfect time for game-viewing for those interested in a safari.
According to the site: "Late July, early August brings with it one of the most exciting wildlife events on earth - the Great Migration. More than 1.5 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebra make their legendary 1,800 mile-round trek, arriving in the Masai Mara National Reserve from the Serengeti in neighbouring Tanzania. The exact date varies; Mother Nature has the final say." | 2024-07-12T17:28:00+01:00 | true |

"Associated"
] | [] | As The Associated Press' music writer, Maria Sherman has seen more than 40 concerts during the first half of 2024. Here are some picks for the best shows ... so far, excluding any one-off performances that cannot be repeated, and where you too can catch these artists.
March 14, Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena
Bad Bunny´s show begins with a symphony, transitioning into the unmistakable strings of his monster hit, "Monaco." "The Most Wanted Tour" highlights El Conejo Malo´s fifth solo album "Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana" ("Nobody Knows What Will Happen Tomorrow") and his past reggaetón hits, too.
HIGHLIGHT: There is one moment that can only be described as equine.
OPENER: When you´re one of the biggest artists on the planet, do you really need an opener? Bad Bunny didn't.
SEE IT YOURSELF: This particular run of shows has come to an end, but here's a reminder to catch him next time he's in town.
April 5, New York's Madison Square Garden
Rodrigo´s spirited punky-pop warms an arena, as does her irreverent charms and Disney-informed dancing. If women performing their rage has fallen out of vogue, Rodrigo has brought it back, full force.
HIGHLIGHT: For the fans of her big-hearted ballads - in one moment, she´s lifted into the air and circles the arena in a purple crescent moon to slow things down.
OPENER: The Breeders - fronted by the Pixies´ Kim Deal - legends of ´90s college radio and indie rock. There´s something completist about hearing an arena discover "Cannonball" for the first time, a song that no doubt inspired Rodrigo´s music.
SEE IT YOURSELF: Rodrigo heads back to the U.S. this month with a new opener, the U.K. hyperpop producer PinkPantheress, before the Breeders return for two final nights in Los Angeles.
April 11, New York's Knockdown Center
Every generation gets the Crystal Castles it deserves. Or in less niche language: This Berlin duo brings humor to their music, which veers from hyperactive techno to German Neue Deutsche Welle in their acquired-taste electronica. The shows are sweaty, and no matter your age, you will be the oldest person in attendance.
HIGHLIGHT: The duo samples Dido´s soft-pop hit "White Flag," while waving a white flag. It works.
OPENER: The techno-punk LustSickPuppy, whose abrasive rave music is presented as a kind of nightmarish clown show.
SEE IT YOURSELF: Brutalismus will be hitting a few festivals in Europe this summer and fall.
May 1, New York's Barclays Center
She will run on club time, and she will not disappoint. Nicki Minaj´s "Pink Friday 2" is almost a retrospective of her chart-toppers, shifting alter-egos with incredible ease.
HIGHLIGHT: At this particular show, Minaj brought out Cyndi Lauper to duet "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" after 1 a.m.
OPENER: Monica has joined Minaj for this tour, and in Brooklyn, Pepa of Salt-N-Pepa opened the show.
SEE IT YOURSELF: Minaj is hitting the European festival circuit this summer, then heading back to the U.S. in September.
May 6, New York's Brooklyn Paramount
Canadian pop-punk band Sum 41 has called it quits - and they´re going out in a blaze of glory, a farewell tour that has the immediacy of their youth.
HIGHLIGHT: Sum 41 does not want to exit quietly - they prove their endurance with an explosive set, fireworks and mosh pits and all. There´s also a giant, blow-up skull.
OPENER: The Interrupters, a ska-punk band that revitalized the genre, are worth arriving early for. At future dates, Sum 41 will be joined by Gob, Pup, Neck Deep and the Bronx.
SEE IT YOURSELF: Sum 41 is zigzagging across Europe and North America through early 2025.
May 21, Madison Square Garden
Not every artist can sell out Madison Square Garden on her first tour, but Megan Thee Stallion is not every artist. On her stage, Megan is an athlete and a dancer who delivers her fierce bars with an incredible crispness.
HIGHLIGHT: "WAP" is a can´t miss moment, of course - particularly if Cardi B makes a surprise appearance, like she did at MSG.
OPENER: Tennessee rapper GloRilla, who was most recently featured on the great, braggy "Accent" from the headliner's third album, "Megan."
SEE IT YOURSELF: Europe will get to catch her in July, before she heads back home for a few festivals.
May 23, East Rutherford, New Jersey's MetLife Stadium
The Rolling Stones ran through 60 years of hits across two hours, including cuts from their first album of new material in nearly two decades, "Hackney Diamonds."
HIGHLIGHT: When it comes to The Rolling Stones, the entire show is the highlight - but for this audience, it was likely the rollicking rendition of "Wild Horses."
OPENER: The soulful Jon Batiste, an award-show staple for a reason.
SEE IT YOURSELF: The Stones' North American tour continues through July.
June 8, MetLife Stadium
They call him the King of Country for a reason. Live, George Strait can transform his one-off stadium shows into a honky-tonk; he performs with a big band and a lot of heart.
HIGHLIGHT: The closest a person can get to levitation is singing along to "Amarillo by Morning" in a stadium of tens of thousands.
OPENER: Chris Stapleton and Little Big Town, with Stapleton joining Strait for a new song called "Honky Tonk Hall of Fame."
SEE IT YOURSELF: Strait has a two more stadium dates in July - in Detroit and Chicago - and another in December, in Las Vegas.
June 7-9, New York's Flushing Meadows Corona Park
Summer festivals across the United States tend to have similar lineups. Governors Ball, arriving early in the season, sets the tone.
HIGHLIGHT: Now is the time to run, don´t walk, to see Chappell Roan. And learn the "Hot to Go" dance.
OPENER: Sexyy Red´s frisky rap is hard to deny.
SEE IT YOURSELF: Many of these artists will be hitting festivals in North American and Europe this summer. In fact, if you want to catch SZA, Sexyy Red and Chappell Roan in one go, consider Lollapalooza in August. Pluma is currently on his "Éxodo Tour" across North America, running through October.
Feb. 18, Melbourne, Australia's Northcote Social Club
In the search for thrilling, cathartic underground music - particularly of the indie variety - look no further than the rich scene of Melbourne, Australia. CLAMM, the punk trio, brings a controlled aggression to their live show. It is ferocious noise punk that hits like inhaling hand sanitizer - stinging alert their audience with clever agitation.
HIGHLIGHT: Later this month, CLAMM will release a new record, "Disembodiment." Live, they´ve begun performing the chant-along opening cut, "Change Enough."
OPENER: At this particular show, the Aussie indie band Scott and Charlene´s Wedding and the rapper Mulalo. A genre-diverse club show is a life-affirming club show.
SEE IT YOURSELF: CLAMM are headed to Europe for a series of dates this July, and back to Australia in August. | 2024-07-03T14:18:48+01:00 | true |

Getting affordable and fun activities organised for young kids, especially with the summer holidays looming, can easily turn into a Herculean task.
Yorkshire Live's Lifestyle Reporter, Megan Shaw, recently took her two boys, aged 10 and four, to visit one of Britain's oldest tourist spots: Mother Shipton's Cave in Knaresborough.
Having been welcoming visitors since 1630, Mother Shipton's Cave is steeped in English folklore as the birthplace of the country's most celebrated seeress. The cosy cave tells the story of her life and prophetic heritage, including the prediction of the Great Fire of London and accounts of Blind Jack, an ingenious road builder from the 18th century.
In addition to the symbolic cave, the petrifying well stands strikingly nearby, known for encrusting coming items with mineral deposits.
Megan and her kids ventured on the picturesque woodland walk leading to the ancient cave, leaving them truly amazed by nature's beauty. But it wasn't just the sylvan landscape that made their day, reports the Mirror.
"There's lots to keep them entertained along the way, from the big coin trees fit with hammers to knock your own coins into the huge adventure playground about halfway around," she commented.
She also mentioned: "The adventure playground is great and has plenty for all ages including a giant ship, sand pit, climbing frame, slide and zip wire - which was a huge hit."
The excursion turned into a magical history lesson for Megan's boys as they were captivated by the petrifying well and the cave, with its eerie statue of Mother Shipton.
"We passed the petrifying well first, the boys were fascinated by the items that were hanging 'frozen' such as a teddy and children's clothing, before we went inside the cave," she added.
"Inside the dark and eerie cave there is a statue of Mother Shipton, there are two buttons inside one that reads 'adults' and one that reads 'children', the boys pressed 'children' and we were greeted by the sound of thunder, my youngest ran straight back out initially but he soon came back - too intrigued by what was being said."
A voiceover narrates the life of Mother Shipton from her own perspective as a child, detailing her birth in the cave during a thunderstorm and the cruelty she faced due to her appearance, which led to accusations of witchcraft.
"The story is fascinating for both adults and children alike and they were both completely compelled by the mysterious tale," Megan said.
After delving into the depths of the cave, the family's adventure continued to the gift shop, brimming with "treasures and oddities".
Megan concluded: "Overall we spent around two hours there, it cost £36 for four of us and that included parking as well, the attraction has often been criticised for being too expensive, but I thought it was a reasonable price to pay to preserve a fascinating piece of history.
"The attraction is unique, enriching and educational as well as being fun and entertaining, both the boys really enjoyed the day, as did myself and my partner and we can't wait to go back again." | 2024-07-12T17:09:00+01:00 | true |

] | It was a night of celebration for Barcelona after another Women’s Champions League title, and for the women’s game in general after another season with significant growth in the sport.
Barcelona defeated Lyon 2-0 to win its third European trophy and to add to its recent dominance in the sport on Saturday, capping a year that saw increased attendance, additional revenue and more participation by women across all levels of the sport.
A record crowd of 50,827 for a final was on hand to see Barcelona lift the trophy after beating record eight-time champion Lyon with goals by stalwart players Aitana Bonmati and Alexia Putellas at the packed San Mames Stadium in Bilbao.
The Barcelona victory came as soccer officials celebrated the success of a five-year plan to boost the women’s game, a plan that was renewed ahead of the final to keep the sport growing.
The “Time for Action” project was put in place by UEFA in 2019 to try to improve women’s soccer. The European soccer body aimed to double the number of women and girls playing the game, and said it more than doubled that target with nearly three million women and girls currently playing soccer thanks to “investment in key initiatives” such as “UEFA Football in Schools.”
UEFA said there are now 47 associations with a strategy in place for women’s soccer, and noted that almost 20 per cent of its committee members are now female. Centralized media and commercial rights helped increase the competition’s value more than fourfold, UEFA said, “funding a financial distribution model which extends the benefits across the entire women’s club landscape.”
“The investments and changes to the UEFA Women’s Champions League and UEFA Women’s EURO, plus a highly successful commercial programme, have meant that we have exceeded our expectations in terms of doubling the reach and value of these flagship competitions,” said Anne Rei, chair of UEFA’s Women’s Football Committee. “This has also gone a long way to changing perceptions.”
What also helped revitalize the Women’s Champions League was the introduction of a new group stage ahead of the 2021-22 season, with four groups of four teams playing each other home and away to add “strength in depth.” And beginning in 2025-26, UEFA will introduce a single-league stage featuring 18 teams, and a second club competition in women’ soccer.
UEFA said “both steps will give the chance to more clubs within the football pyramid to compete at the highest level, promoting domestic growth and competitive balance.”
UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin said ahead of the final in Bilbao that the European soccer governing body “prioritized the growth of women’s football” and achieved “significant progress through a focused strategy, substantial investment, and a commitment to making the sport accessible to all.”
UEFA this season also launched a new national team competition system with the Women’s Nations League and the Women’s European Qualifiers. The goal was to “help develop the national team game in the same way that the Women’s Champions League is reshaping the club landscape” and “improving competitive balance.”
Playing matches in Europe’s top stadiums also “boosted visibility and delivered a surge in interest,” as did the new media rights partnership with DAZN to help “showcase the best of European women’s soccer to new global audiences.”
Inside the stadiums, the average attendance of the four semi-finals of the Women’s Champions League this season was 35,933, with Chelsea setting a club-record of 39,398 fans for their second leg against Barcelona in England. Eight-time champion Lyon set a new record with 38,466 fans for the first leg of the semi-finals against Paris Saint-Germain.
In the quarter-finals, 35,997 Ajax fans broke a Dutch record for a women’s game, surpassing the 33,147 from last season’s final in Eindhoven.
Barcelona a couple of years ago broke the attendance record for a women’s soccer game with 91,648 spectators watching the first leg of the Women’s Champions League semi-final against Wolfsburg at Camp Nou Stadium. | 2024-05-27T07:03:24.860000+01:00 | false |

Hauptziel der Stiftung ist die Förderung von Internationalität, vor allem für Studierende. Gerade erst wurde die Kooperation mit der Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal erneuert.
Hans-Jürgen Kaschade ist ein bescheidener Mann. Als gelernter Tischler hat er bei der Renovierung eines alten Fachwerkhauses in Stendal selbst Hand angelegt. Das Haus ist Stiftungssitz der H. u. H. Kaschade Stiftung. Hinter den Buchstaben verbergen sich die Vornamen von Hans-Jürgen und seiner Frau Hermine. Beide hatten zunächst einen Handwerksberuf gelernt, er Tischler, sie Schneiderin. Später studierten sie im sozialen Bereich.
Aufstieg durch Fleiß und Offenheit
Als Hans-Jürgen Kaschade, heute 83 Jahre alt, zum Professor und Rektor der Hochschule Braunschweig/Wolfenbüttel aufgestiegen war, berief man ihn als sogenannten Leihbeamten in den Osten. In Magdeburg und später Stendal sollte er einen neuen Hochschulstandort aufbauen.
Von Anfang an war dem Professor dabei der internationale Austausch wichtig. "Es ist aus meiner Sicht wichtig, dass junge Menschen möglichst früh einen anderen Blick auf die Welt bekommen, um sich ein Urteil zu bilden und nicht ein Vorurteil zu haben."
Deutsche Bücher für alle Welt
Hans-Jürgen Kaschade holte Lehrkräfte aus dem Ausland, aus den USA, aus Holland, Kanada, China und Indien. Etwa zehn Prozent der Studierenden kamen aus anderen Ländern. Der internationale Austausch lief aber auch über Bücher. Kaschade sagt: "Der Globus ist rund und wir müssen auch die Kontakte in den Osten pflegen."
Die DDR hatte Mitte der 1950er-Jahre aufgehört, Bücher in den Osten zu schicken. Deswegen sammelte Kaschade Bücher zum Deutschlernen, später auch deutschsprachige Fachbücher, und sendete sie erst in das östliche Ausland, später in die ganze Welt. Inzwischen wurden durch das Kaschade-Literaturhilfswerk über 200.000 Bücher verschickt.
Um der Hochschule unkompliziert mit Geldspenden helfen zu können, gründete Hans-Jürgen Kaschade 1995 mit seiner Frau Hermine die H. und H. Kaschade Stiftung. Als ostpreußisches Flüchtlingskind hatte er zu Beginn seiner Laufbahn nichts. "Die Grundidee, Vermögen zu vererben, halte ich für nicht so gut. Kinder müssen die Chance haben, eine vernünftige Bildung zu bekommen. Was sie dann daraus machen, sollte man nicht an die Kinder vererben, sondern ihnen bewusst machen, dass ihr Vermögen nur geliehen ist und dass man das dann wieder gemeinwohlmäßig einsetzt."
Vermögen mit Sparsamkeit aufgebaut
Die Stiftung startete mit 100.000 Euro aus der Zulage, die Westbeamte, die in den 1990er-Jahren aus dem Westen in den Osten zogen, bekamen. Zu Unrecht, findet Kaschade noch heute. Inzwischen beträgt das Stiftungsvermögen 3,2 Millionen Euro.
Bei der Frage, wie man so ein Vermögen aufbauen kann, schmunzelt Kaschade. "Das ist eine Frage der Zielstrebigkeit und was man sich vornimmt. Man muss immer mehr Geld verdienen, als man ausgibt. Wenn Sie aufwachsen in so armen Verhältnissen, dann können Sie sich entweder zum Verschwender entwickeln oder Sie haben kapiert, dass man Vieles nicht braucht." Zudem habe er sich schon als junger Mann für Aktien und Wertpapiere interessiert.
Ein weiterer Beleg für die Zielstrebigkeit? Nach seinem vorzeitigen Ruhestand gründete der gelernte Tischler mit einem alten Freund die Fensterbaufirma FensterART. Mit sechs Leuten haben sie angefangen. Mittlerweile sind es 70 Mitarbeitende.
Förderung von Bildung und Kultur
Heute unterstützt die Kaschade-Stiftung Studierende aus aller Welt mit Aufenthaltsstipendien. Immer wieder wird die Stiftung für lokale Projekte angefragt oder regt selbst Ideen an. Neben der Tausch-Bibliothek im Fachwerkhaus in der Stendaler Weberstraße fördert die Kaschade-Stiftung die Stendaler Lichttage, die Osterburger Literaturtage, das Stendaler Kunststipendium, die Konzertreihe Post4Jazz und viele andere Projekte im Bereich Bildung und Kultur.
Das jüngste sichtbare Engagement ist die Figurengruppe zum 500. Jahrestag der Aufstellung des Stendaler Rolands. Das kleine Bronze-Ensemble steht vor dem Altmärkischen Museum und lädt viele Stendaler und Touristen zum Verweilen und Nachdenken ein.
Von Peru ins Stendaler Fachwerkhaus
Derzeit wohnt und lernt Carmen Calienes Peralta im Haus der Kaschade-Stiftung. Sie hält seit vielen Jahren die Hochschulkontakte zwischen Stendal und der Universität "Alas Peruanas" in Peru aufrecht. Um ihr Deutsch zu verbessern, macht sie gerade mit Unterstützung der Kaschade-Stiftung einen Deutschkurs. Mit der Stendaler Inlingua-Sprachschule gibt es immer wieder gemeinsame internationale Bildungsprojekte. So kommt die Welt nach Stendal. | 2024-07-12T17:24:27+01:00 | true |

But one woman has shared a simple solution.
If you're gearing up for a sun-soaked getaway but dread the thought of leaving your trusty suncream behind due to cabin bag restrictions, fear not!
The conundrum of squeezing a mere 100ml of sun protection alongside other liquid essentials like your favourite fragrance or must-have makeup is all too familiar. And let's face it, no one wants to gamble on an unfamiliar brand that's been gathering dust on a foreign shelf, potentially losing its protective prowess over time.
But there's good news!
A savvy traveller has divulged a nifty trick to ensure you can pack ample suncream and toiletries for your flight without any fuss.
The user, known as @travelmindedofficial on social media, revealed the secret lies in placing a click and collect order at Boots located within the airport from which you're departing. This way, you can scoop up your holiday essentials right before takeoff.
She explained: "It was hassle-free, and then we had all of our essentials," while showcasing a box brimming with travel must-haves such as deodorant, suncream, facial suncream spray, after sun, and even shower gel perfect for those with sensitive skin.
Amid the flurry of comments, concerns were raised about potential airport price hikes. However, she assured fellow travellers that the prices match those found on the high street.
One curious commenter inquired: "Such a good idea! What did you do on the way back? (If you had any left, as the bottles are over 100ml did you just have to throw them away?)"
She replied: "We left them in the AirBnb where we stayed so others could enjoy." | 2024-07-12T17:41:00+01:00 | true |

But the IDF said it hit a "hiding place for Hamas terrorists." | Authorities in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip have said Israeli shelling killed displaced Palestinians inside a school in Deir al-Balah. But the IDF said it hit a "hiding place for Hamas terrorists."
An Israeli attack on a school in Gaza has left at least 12 killed, authorities in the Hamas-run enclave said on Saturday. They described the school as a provisional shelter housing displaced Palestinians in Gaza
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it attacked the area of the school as it was targeting a "camouflaged Hamas command and control compound."
What do we know about the attack?
The shelling targeted the Khadija school west of Gaza's Deir al-Balah area, Gaza's Civil Defense service said on Saturday.
The IDF said the attack killed "Hamas terrorists who were hiding and operating from the compound." It added that the targeted location was used for weapons storage.
The Israeli military claimed to have taken many steps to reduce the chance of harming civilians.
Meanwhile, the media office of the Hamas-run government put the death toll at 18, saying three Israeli fighter jets shelled a makeshift hospital inside the school.
The Gaza government said the hospital "offered medical services to dozens of sick and injured people who are all civilians."
Israel asks Palestinians to leave humanitarian zone
Meanwhile in southern Gaza, the IDF asked Palestinian civilians to evacuate parts of the Khan Younis area, including the humanitarian zone there, as it prepares to "forcefully operate" in the region.
The IDF said staying in the area has become dangerous, citing "significant terrorist activity and rocket fire toward the State of Israel from the southern area of Khan Younis." It accused Hamas of embedding "terrorist infrastructure" in the humanitarian zone there.
The Israeli military said it has made an early warning to civilians "to mitigate harm to the civilian population." It called on the civilians to "temporarily evacuate" to the al-Mawasi humanitarian zone, saying it has reached out using flyers, media broadcasts, phone calls and text and voice messages.
During the past nine months of war, many Palestinians have been uprooted several times as Israel operates in different parts of the enclave, which is home to 2.3 million Palestinians.
The fighting started after Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7, killing around 1,200 and taking some 250 hostages. Around 115 are still in Gaza, though Israel says a third of them are believed to be dead. Meanwhile, over 39,100 Palestinians have thus far been killed in the fighting, health authorities in the Hamas-run strip say.
Hamas is designated as a terrorist group by Israel, the US, the European Union, among others. | 2024-07-27T11:58:41.411000+01:00 | true |

Bad result for ANC could curtail Ramaphosa presidency
By Tim Cocks
JOHANNESBURG, May 26 (Reuters) - South Africans will vote on Wednesday with widespread anger over power cuts, joblessness and corruption threatening to end the dominance of the African National Congress, thirty years after Nelson Mandela led it into power.
At no point since world media beamed iconic images of Black South African voters queueing to cast ballots for the first time following the end of white-minority rule has the ANC looked so likely to lose its parliamentary majority.
Polls suggest the ANC's share of the vote could fall as low as 40%, compared with 57.5% in 2019, which would force the party into a wobbly coalition with rivals - and potentially expose President Cyril Ramaphosa to a leadership challenge.
Yet a survey released earlier this week by Afrobarometer suggested a third of voters were undecided, making this poll the most unpredictable in South Africa's democratic history. Nicole Beardsworth, politics researcher at the University of the Witwatersrand, sees the ANC getting "a bit of a bump" on the day, confounding the worst predictions - especially with Ramaphosa's introduction this month of popular measures such as a national health insurance law and proposed basic income grant.
"But I don't think we're going to see the ANC get over 50%," she said. "They're ... going to have negotiate a coalition. The big question is: with whom?"
Much will depend on how well or badly they do, she said. A small margin would enable them to do a deal with a marginal party with limited leverage to make significant demands.
Bigger losses could mean a coalition with the Marxist Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) - a prospect that makes business leaders and South Africa's privileged white minority shudder - or with several small parties that could thwart decision-making.
Yet some think punishment at the polls could be a catalyst for the ANC to clean itself up: "A different party might come out of it," independent analyst Ralph Mathekga said.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND FAILURES For three decades the ANC has traded off its legacy of freeing the Black majority from white rulers whose apartheid system took their land, kept them poor and uneducated, and forbade them to visit most of the country except to clean houses or dig gold mines.
In its early years in government, it began reversing these inequities - bringing electricity, water and half-decent housing to millions.
But corruption and incompetence have eroded some of those gains. State power provider Eskom's creaking coal-fired power stations haven't kept up with demand, causing frequent blackouts, while roads, sewage treatment plants and schools rot from the inside. A third of South Africans are jobless.
"I don't see what I'm voting for. We don't have roads (or decent) houses," Zinhle Nyakenye, 31 and unemployed, told Reuters in Mandela's home town of Qunu, as she fetched water for household use from a stream.
Corruption has spread, although a strong rule of law - one of the ANC's most enduring legacies - has resulted in legal proceedings against powerful people such as ex-president Jacob Zuma, while the parliamentary speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula resigned last month. Both deny wrongdoing.
Zuma in December created a breakaway party called uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) that could take votes from the ANC in its eastern Zulu heartlands. It may also stir up trouble if Zuma's supporters - who rioted and looted for days when he was arrested for contempt of court in July 2021 - don't like the results.
But South Africa's robust legal system also means rules for coalition building are clear, even if the players have never done it, said Chatham House's Chris Vandome.
"South Africa's system was designed so that political parties in a very fractured country could work together," Vandome said. "It was never designed for a dominant party to maintain absolute control ... for 30 years."

Astronauts Tracy Dyson and Mike Barratt opened the hatch to the space station’s airlock when Ms Dyson reported water leaking from her spacesuit’s cooling system.
The leak occurred when Ms Dyson switched her spacesuit to battery power. The astronauts had not floated outside yet.
“There’s literally water everywhere here now,” Mr Barratt said.
The duo were not in danger, according to Nasa.
The astronauts were supposed to remove a faulty communications box and collect microbe samples from outside the orbiting laboratory.
The spacewalk was planned for nearly seven hours, but lasted only a half an hour.
Earlier this month, a spacewalk was postponed after another astronaut experienced “spacesuit discomfort”. | 2024-06-24T21:26:53+01:00 | true |

Zum neuen Schuljahr soll etwa die Grundschule in Gispersleben wieder bezogen werden können.
Die ersten großen Bauprojekte des Sanierungsprogramms für Erfurter Schulen sind auf der Zielgeraden. So soll die Grundschule im Ortsteil Gispersleben zum neuen Schuljahr das sanierte Gebäude beziehen können. Wie Baudezernent Matthias Bärwolff mitteilte, stehen parallel zum Schulbetrieb aber noch Arbeiten am Außengelände an.
Laut Sanierungsprogramm sollte die Schule bereits im vergangenen Jahr fertig werden. Wegen Bauverzögerungen müssten sich die Schülerinnen und Schüler länger gedulden. Ein Jahr später als geplant könne im Herbst auch die Gemeinschaftsschule am Berliner Platz saniert werden. Die Schüler ziehen übergangsweise in das freigewordene Ausweichobjekt in der Magdeburger Allee. Dort wird aktuell noch gemalert.
Anschluss an Glasfasernetz verzögert sich
An mehreren Schulen wird außerdem noch in Sachen Digitalpakt gebaut. Unter anderem hakt es noch an Anschlüssen ans Glasfasernetz durch die Telekom. Saniert wird noch immer die Gemeinschaftsschule am Herrenberg, dort sollen die Schülerinnen und Schüler in den Herbstferien im kommenden Jahr wieder einziehen können.
Demnächst steht auch das Richtfest am Rohbau an der Christian-Riechart-Grundschule an. Dort sind in den kommenden Jahren noch weitere Bauarbeiten geplant, unter anderem wird das denkmalgeschützte Hauptgebäudes saniert.
Baustopp an Grundschule Vieselbach
Einen Baustopp gibt es seit November an der Grundschule Vieselbach. Dort können ein Wasseranschluss für die Baustelle nicht verlegt und der Kran nicht angeliefert werden, da Arbeiten an Wasserleitungen in der Umgebung stattfinden.
Die Stadt hofft, dass diese bald abgeschlossen seien und ein Termin für den Einzug der Schüler genannt werden könne. Sie sind aktuell in Containern untergebracht und sollten ursprünglich 2025 in den Neubau einziehen.
Planung von neuen Schulen geht voran
Neben der Sanierung der bestehenden Schulen geht auch die Planung der zwei Schulneubauten in der Greifswalder Straße und der Blumenstraße voran. Der Schulkomplex in der Greifswalder Straße für rund 1.000 Schüler soll spätestens ab Ende 2026 gebaut werden und im Sommer 2029 fertig sein.
Der Neubau in der Blumenstraße kann wegen der dort lebenden Hamster nicht weiter geplant werden. Die Stadt will aber demnächst einen Masterplan vorlegen. Laut Baudezernent Bärwolff gäbe es keine alternativen Standorte für die Schule. | 2024-07-12T17:23:24+01:00 | true |

But the two sides remain at odds. | A recent deal between China and the Philippines has allowed Manila to deliver supplies to its marines on the Second Thomas Shoal without clashing with the Chinese coast guard. But the two sides remain at odds.
The Philippines has completed a resupply and rotation mission at a disputed shoal in the South China Sea without any confrontations with China, the South Asian country's Department of Foreign Affairs said on Saturday.
This was Manila's first mission to the Second Thomas Shoal — which has been the site of violent clashes between the naval forces of China and the Philippines — since the two countries reached an agreement a week ago for the supply of daily necessities and rotation missions for Filipino troops.
US hails success, but slams China
The latest mission was carried out by a civilian vessel that was escorted by a Philippine Coast Guard, the department said.
"The lawful and routine rotation and resupply mission within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone is a credit to the professionalism of the men and women of the Philippine Navy and the Philippine Coast Guard," it said.
The success of the mission was praised by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is in Laos for an ASEAN summit.
"We are pleased to take note of the successful resupply today," Blinken said, adding: "We applaud that and hope and expect to see that it continues going forward."
Blinken also hit out at what he called China's "escalatory and unlawful actions taken against the Philippines in the South China Sea over the last few months."
China warns Philippines against violations
While the "provisional arrangement" between the two countries seems to have alleviated hostilities at the shoal, the Philippines and China both said the agreement would not change their positions on territory.
China's top envoy, Wang Yi, told his Filipino counterpart on Friday that Beijing would "respond resolutely" if Manila breaches the agreement.
Wang called upon the Philippines to "honor its commitments" under the deal rather than "backtracking or creating complications," according to the minutes of his meeting with Philippine Foreign Secretary Enrique Manalo at the ASEAN summit in Laos.
"Otherwise, China will definitely respond resolutely," Wang said.
Manalo said he also hoped Beijing would keep its side of the bargain.
"I think that would be an important step forward in diffusing tensions and hopefully lead to other areas of cooperation on the South China Sea."
China claims the entire South China Sea as its territory — a claim vehemently contested by countries in the region and that, according to an international court ruling, has no legal basis.
China sour on US missile deployment in Philippines
In the ASEAN meeting, Wang also warned the Philippines over the deployment of intermediate-range US missiles and said such decisions could raise tensions between the two countries.
The US deployed its Typhon missile system in the Philippines as part of joint military exercises earlier this year.
"If the Philippines introduces the US intermediate-range missile system, it will create tension and confrontation in the region and trigger an arms race, which is completely not in line with the interests and wishes of the Filipino people," Wang said. | 2024-07-27T11:05:42.840000+01:00 | true |

Wawrinka, whose trademark one-handed backhand helped him put together a 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 victory in the first-round contest Sunday night, then joined fans in applauding for Murray as he headed toward the locker room.
“It was emotional, for sure. We’re getting closer to the end,” said Wawrinka, who has won 10 of their 23 meetings since the first in 2005. “We have a lot of respect for each other.”
Wawrinka, at 39, is just the third man of at least that age to win a match at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament since 1980. Murray just turned 37, and this contest had the second-oldest combined age for two men in Paris since 2000.
“Obviously disappointed. … He gave me very few opportunities,” said Murray, who was broken early in each set while going 0 for 2 on his break chances. “Physically, tennis is not easy for me nowadays.”
By the end, his movement was not what it usually is, even after having hip replacement surgery several years ago. Murray recently returned after tearing ankle ligaments at the Miami Open in March and is 1-3 since coming back.
“My body isn’t what it was 10 years ago. I’m fully aware of that,” he said.
Theirs was by far the most eagerly anticipated match of Day 1 at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament, featuring a pair of guys who each own a trio of major trophies.
It was not quite on the level of the Day 2 showcase – Rafael Nadal vs. Alexander Zverev – but it earned the high-profile spot in the night session at Court Philippe Chatrier and drew a crowd that loudly cheered when they stepped out under the lights.
Before play began Sunday, tournament director Amélie Mauresmo said she was putting off a planned farewell ceremony for Nadal, who most everyone figured would be competing at the French Open for the final time but said this weekend he didn’t want to close the door on a return.
Similarly, Mauresmo said there wouldn’t be that sort of adieu to Murray, who has indicated he might retire after this summer. As it is, he is not done in Paris, because he and Dan Evans received a wild-card entry for doubles.
This was his fourth consecutive appearance at the French Open that included a match against Wawrinka, who is 6-1 head-to-head on clay. Wawrinka won their 2015 semi-final in Paris, Murray won a five-set semi-final the next year, and Wawrinka won their first-round contest in 2020. Murray missed the event in 2021-23.
Both men drew gasps with hard-hit groundstrokes and both tossed in a bit of guile, too, including an early serve-and-volley from Wawrinka and a half-dozen drop shots from Murray in the second set alone.
Wawrinka, who has dealt with his own series of health issues over the years, goes on to meet No. 32 Cam Norrie or Pavel Kotov in the second round.
Other major titles champions who won Sunday included Carlos Alcaraz, Naomi Osaka, Sofia Kenin and Jelena Ostapenko. But 2021 French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova lost 7-6 (3), 6-4 to Viktorija Golubic – making the 24th-seeded Krejcikova 0-3 in Paris since going 7-0 three years ago to take the title.
Alcaraz arrived having missed time because of a forearm problem that made him afraid to hit his big forehands at full strength, but that did not appear to be an issue during a 6-1, 6-2, 6-1 victory over J.J. Wolf, an American who lost in qualifying and got into the field when another player withdrew.
Indeed, Alcaraz pronounced his arm “fully recovered,” although still “feeling weird.”
From Wolf’s vantage point across the net?
“He hit his forehand very well. It felt heavy to me,” Wolf said. “It had plenty on it.”
Osaka picked up her first victory at a Grand Slam tournament in more than two years, steadying herself after wasting a 4-0 lead in the third set to pull out a 6-1, 4-6, 7-5 win over Lucia Bronzetti of Italy.
Amanda Anisimova, an American who reached the 2019 semi-finals at Roland Garros as a teenager, defeated Rebecca Šramková 7-6, 6-4. Anisimova had been 1-3 since returning from a groin muscle injury that sidelined her since she reached the Australian Open’s fourth round in January.
“Not having the best start to my Europe swing wasn’t great. But I was going into it trying to really learn what I did wrong in those tournaments and see what I can adjust,” Anisimova said. “I’m just happy with the way I played and I fought.” | 2024-05-27T07:13:44.242000+01:00 | false |

The big bet on the UK election is not who will be prime minister | Daily Mail | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-13596711/The-big-bet-UK-election-not-prime-minister.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | [
"Associated"
] | [] | LONDON (AP) - In one of the store-front betting shops that are ubiquitous in London, a bookie howls with laughter when asked if anyone is placing bets on Thursday´s election.
It´s not that you can´t wager on politics. But the odds on the main event this year have become so lopsided that a wager on which party will control Parliament is a bad bet.
A gambler would have to put 100 pounds ($127) on the favored Labour Party to pocket a pound coin in return. A pound bet on the ruling Conservatives would yield 30 times that - if they win. But the bookie wryly noted it would realistically mean throwing away a pound. Then she guffawed again.
In gambling-crazy Britain, politics is fair game for betting. The subject has received more attention than normal in this election because of a scandal revolving around what date the election would be set - one of the many gambling possibilities.
Tens of millions of pounds are expected to be wagered on this year's election, but that will be dwarfed in the fall by the amount bet on the U.S. election. The presidential election in 2020 became the world´s biggest betting event on the Betfair Exchange, with 1.7 billion pounds wagered.
Almost anything can be bet on in Britain. Punters, as bettors are known, wagered on the color of the hat Queen Elizabeth II wore to Prince William´s wedding to Kate Middleton, the winner of reality shows such as "Love Island" and even the name of a future pope.
The U.K. is one of the few countries where political betting is legal and it dates to the mid-18th century, said Anthony Pickles, a social anthropology professor at the University of Birmingham.
"Whilst it´s important and kind of institutional as part of the U.K. gambling context, a lot of people don´t know that it exists," Pickles said. "It´s quite a niche activity."
Unlike sports bettors that include people putting money on their favorite teams, political gamblers tend to be more strategic, said Leon Blackman, spokesperson for Oddschecker.
"They take emotion out of it," Blackman said. "They´re not going to bet on the Green Party to win the election because they like the Green Party. They´re going to look for niche little angles, keep their ears to the ground as to what´s happening in the political world, and seeing if they can find that value, where they can make some money."
Stories abound of wild wagers that have paid off and some are still in play.
A cabbie in 1983 was so impressed after giving a lift to his new Labour member of Parliament that he drove to a bookmaker and placed a 10-pound bet he would one day be prime minister. Fourteen years later, George Elliot cashed in 5,000 pounds when Tony Blair became prime minister.
One candidate currently running for reelection, Conservative Justin Tomlinson, is still waiting for his horse to come in. When Tomlinson was at university, he bet 50 pounds he would one day be the nation's leader. If gets there by 2038, he will win 500,000 pounds.
Seismic shifts in political opinion away from the ruling Conservatives have reshaped the betting landscape this year.
Of the 650 seats up for grabs in the House of Commons, as many as 400 are competitive, compared to about 100 in past elections, said Paul Krishnamurty, a professional gambler and political oddsmaker for BetOnline.ag, a Panama-based online gambling site.
The odds have done a flip-flop since the 2019 election when Conservatives won a large majority and held consistent support with a 55% to 65% chance of reelection until "Partygate" in 2021 when Prime Minister Boris Johnson and other ministers violated their own COVID-19 social distancing rules by hosting booze-ups at 10 Downing Street.
Blackman pointed to a graph of the past five years with a rising red line of Labour crossing the plummeting blue Conservative line.
"You can see the drop-off and they hit their lowest point in two years time and that kind of reflects the public´s trust in the Conservative Party from there on in," Blackman said. "And all that ongoing carnage which led them down to this point here, the present day, where they have a 0.7% chance of winning the most seats."
More popular bets are being placed on the number of seats each party will win, whether Liberal Democrats gain more seats than Conservatives, and whether anti-migrant firebrand Nigel Farage finally wins a seat in Westminster after seven failed attempts.
Richard Young, who follows his mother´s advice not to bet more than he can afford to lose, said he staked 5.50 pounds that Conservatives will win fewer than a fifth of the seats in the Commons. If he´s right, he stands to get 30.25 pounds in return.
"I´m generally a low-stakes gambler - it´s amusement and trading strategies, not profit, that motivate me," Young said. "Less than 20% looked interesting given the polls and the stuttering Tory campaign."
Many of the political wagers are small.
Krishnamurty couldn't spend more than 100 pounds per constituency when he wagered 1,250 pounds on local races.
"If you wanted to get 1 million pounds on France to win (the European soccer championships), no problem, it´s easy," Krishnamurty said. "That money is out there. People want to take that bet. In politics, you're really scratching around."
Before there was polling, betting odds helped gauge a candidate's performance, Pickles said.
Even as gamblers and betting houses pore over the latest polls, there's some debate over whether betting is a better barometer for what's actually happening in an election.
"It´s almost as if the gambling markets are a kind of secondary human-interpreted form of prediction that sort of sits above the polls and interprets them in the context of other larger cultural knowledge about what´s going on in politics in one country," Pickles said.
Some campaigns have even been known to wager heavily on their candidate as a marketing strategy as the flood of bets changes their odds and grabs attention, he said.
"That works in smaller markets where there isn´t enough money or liquidity for people to absorb those kind of spurious bets are tilting the market in one direction," Pickles said.
One of the key issues earlier in the year wasn't who would win, but when the election would be held.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had until January to set the date. As he lagged in the polls, the smart money was on him choosing November to gain momentum.
When he called for a snap election on May 22, the Gambling Commission noted a surge of bets before his announcement.
The amount bet the day before equaled the total sum wagered on that question in the months before, said Leighton Vaughan Williams, a political gambling expert and economics professor at Nottingham Business School. It raised questions of insider trading because the outcome was based solely on Sunak's announcement and others were likely in the know.
People close to Sunak within the Conservative Party ranks and even police officers connected with his protection have been caught up in the investigation. Reports suggest the total number of parliamentary candidates and officials could be 15.
One thing that could save them is that a member of the House of Lords went on the radio that day to say he had heard rumors Sunak would call a July election, though he didn´t believe them.
"If you try to find a reason other than suspicious reasons, or inside information reasons, then that is the lifeline you´d hold on to," Vaughan Williams said.
This story has been corrected to reflect that the name of betting company is Oddschecker, not Oddsmaker. | 2024-07-03T14:28:47+01:00 | true |

South Africa's Tiger Brands half-year profit rises 11% | Daily Mail | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-13463323/South-Africas-Tiger-Brands-half-year-profit-rises-11.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | [

] | [] | JOHANNESBURG, May 27 (Reuters) - South Africa's Tiger Brands reported an 11% rise in half-year profit on Monday as the country's biggest food producer hiked prices to recover higher input costs, although that dampened volume growth as customers reined in spending.
Consumer goods producers globally have raised prices to cope with surging costs for almost all raw materials, energy, and packaging after Russia's invasion of Ukraine compounded pandemic-related supply chain logjams.
"Consumers remain constrained and continue to rationalise spend, prioritising value offerings and staple categories," the company said in a statement.
The owner of Jungle Oats and Koo baked beans said its headline earnings per share from total operations, a leading profit measure in South Africa, rose to 808 cents in the six months ended March 31, from 731 cents a year ago.
It also declared an interim dividend of 350 cents per share, up 9%.
Group revenue declined 0.8% to 19.2 billion rand ($1.04 billion) year-on-year, as higher prices squeezed volumes.
The company said it expected customer spending to continue, citing restrained wage growth amid the surge in inflation. ($1 = 18.4040 rand) (Reporting by Sfundo Parakozov Editing by Nqobile Dludla, Bhargav Acharya, Kirsten Donovan) | 2024-05-27T08:09:04+01:00 | true |

Was aber, wenn man gerade kein Bargeld dabei hat und mit Karte zahlen will? Um das Trinkgeldgeben mit Karte zu vereinfachen, wird in einigen Lokalen die Funktion der "Trinkgeldtaste" genutzt. Hier werden mehrere Optionen angeboten. Für Gastronomen kann das nützlich sein. Für den Kunden kann es aber auch eine Beeinflussung darstellen.
Gemütlich im Eiscafé einen Kaffee trinken und dabei ein leckeres Eis essen: Besonders im Sommer zieht es viele Menschen wieder auf die Terrassen von Restaurants und Bars. Wenn der Service gut ist und man zufrieden nach Hause geht, geben viele Gäste Trinkgeld. Wie hoch dieses ausfällt, ist dabei jedem selbst überlassen. Gerne wird dann im Portemonnaie geschaut, was für Münzgeld noch vorhanden ist. Doch in letzter Zeit gibt es einen neuen "Trend" beim Trinkgeld, der für unterschiedliche Reaktionen sorgt: die Trinkgeldtaste auf dem Kartenlesegerät.
Das Ganze läuft so ab: Der Kunde entscheidet sich dafür, mit Karte zu zahlen. Die Servicekraft stellt das Kartenlesegerät entsprechend ein und übergibt es dem Gast. Bevor dieser aber seine Karte einstecken oder drauflegen kann, erscheint ein Menü mit verschiedenen Trinkgeldoptionen. In der Regel wird dann mit unterschiedlichen Prozenten, wie zum Beispiel 5 %, 10 % oder 20 %, ein Vorschlag unterbreitet, wie viel Trinkgeld gegeben werden könnte. Zudem gibt es auch noch zwei weitere Felder: nämlich einmal die Möglichkeit kein Trinkgeld und einmal die Option ein anderes Trinkgeld geben zu können.
Verbraucherzentrale skeptisch: Mehr Druck für Kunden?
Niemand ist zum Trinkgeldgeben verpflichtet – auch nicht, wenn auf dem Kartenlesegerät die Trinkgeldtaste angezeigt wird. "Kein Gast wird gezwungen, ein Trinkgeld zu geben. Trinkgelder sind und bleiben ein freiwilliges Dankeschön für tolle Gastfreundschaft und guten Service", sagt Jürgen Benad, Geschäftsführer im Dehoga-Bundesverband und Rechtsexperte.
Allerdings könnten sich einige Kunden durch die direktere Aufforderung unter Druck gesetzt fühlen. "Wir sehen diese Funktion kritisch, wenn die Trinkgeldvarianten deutlich hervorgehoben werden und dadurch der Kunde die Option 'kein Trinkgeld' nicht findet. So werden die Kunden manipuliert, einen höheren Preis zu bezahlen, als sie es bei Barzahlung getan hätten", kritisiert Andreas Behn, Referatsleiter für Finanzdienstleistungen der Verbraucherzentrale Thüringen.
Wer sich online über die Trinkgeldtaste informieren will, stößt auch auf den Begriff des "Nudging" oder "Nudge". "Das heißt so viel wie kleiner Schubser beziehungsweise als Verb anstoßen oder anstupsen", erläutert Jana Tietze, wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin der Professur für Betriebswirtschaftslehre an der Universität Leipzig. "Ein 'Nudge' im ursprünglichen Sinne des Wortes soll Menschen zu 'besseren' und 'gesünderen' Entscheidungen verhelfen. Seitdem hat sich die Nutzung des Begriffes jedoch auch im Marketing und in anderen Bereichen etabliert und umfasst im Grunde alle Situationen, in denen Leute ohne Verbote, Gebote oder andere Anreize aktiv in ihren Entscheidungen beeinflusst werden sollen", führt sie weiter aus.
In puncto Trinkgeld werde es den Kunden durch einen vorgegebenen Prozentsatz oder Betrag ganz leicht gemacht, möglichst viel Trinkgeld zu geben. "Dies funktioniert besonders gut, wenn mit Karte gezahlt wird, da hier nur ein Knopfdruck auf die 'Trinkgeldtaste' nötig ist, um den Aufschlag direkt mit abzubuchen, aber auch bei einer Barzahlung können Kunden 'genudged' werden, indem zum Beispiel 10 Prozent Trinkgeld mit auf den Bon aufgedruckt werden", merkt sie an.
Reaktionen können unterschiedlich ausfallen
Die Reaktion von Kunden und Gästen auf die Funktion ist sicherlich individuell und von der Situation abhängig. "Grundsätzlich ist die Trinkgeldtaste erstmal eine Erleichterung für Kunden. Sie ermöglicht es, ohne viel Aufwand, die Dankbarkeit für Servicequalität auszudrücken", sagt Jana Tietze. Die Funktion könne aber auch dazu führen, dass Kunden das Lokal unzufriedener verlassen.
Wie aber sollte man reagieren, wenn man sich von der Entscheidungsoption überrumpelt fühlt? Andreas Behn von der Verbraucherzentrale Thüringen rät dazu: "Die Verbraucher sollten beim Bezahlen genau hinschauen und sich nicht unter Druck setzen lassen. Es muss eine Option geben, keinen Aufschlag zu geben. Grundsätzlich spricht natürlich nichts dagegen, zum Beispiel im Restaurant der Bedienung ein Trinkgeld zu geben. Anders sieht es aus, wenn ich am Tresen einen Kaffee zum Mitnehmen kaufe und dafür einen als Trinkgeld deklarierten Aufschlag auf den eigentlichen Preis bezahlen muss. Natürlich will niemand als geizig gelten – damit spielen die Anbieter in diesem Fall. Es hilft, sich zu fragen: Würden Sie in dieser Situation Trinkgeld geben, wenn Sie bar bezahlen würden? Wenn nicht, sollten Sie sich nicht scheuen zu fragen, wie Sie das Trinkgeld abwählen können."
Trinkgeld auch bei Kartenzahlung gewünscht
Warum sich Gastronomen oder andere Betriebe für die Funktion der Trinkgeldtaste entscheiden, hängt damit zusammen, wie Kunden zahlen. "Elektronische Zahlungsweisen nehmen zu. Immer mehr Menschen sind bargeldlos unterwegs und bezahlen digital. Technologische Innovationen bieten neue Möglichkeiten. Das betrifft auch das Geben von Trinkgeld über entsprechende Buttons auf Kartenlesegeräten mit vordefinierten Prozentbeträgen, die eine Orientierung darstellen können. Unsere Betriebe entscheiden mit Blick auf ihr Konzept und ihre Gästeklientel über den Einsatz der neuen Technologien und Geräte", erklärt Jürgen Benad vom Dehoga-Bundesverband auf MDR-Anfrage.
"Gerade bei Kartenzahlung ist die Trinkgeldkonvention häufig unklar, da man nicht einfach einen Schein oder ein Paar Münzen auf dem Tisch liegenlassen oder das Rückgeld per 'Stimmt so' als Trinkgeld aufrunden kann. Für Servicekräfte kann durch ein hohes zusätzliches Trinkgeld eine geringe Basisbezahlung ausgeglichen und so eher unattraktive Arbeitsplätze interessanter gemacht werden", erläutert Jana Tietze.
Anbieter sehen deutlichen Anstieg der Trinkgeldhöhe
Eine Anfrage der Redaktion Wirtschaft und Ratgeber an zwei Anbieter dieser Funktion hat gezeigt, dass Betriebe wie auch Kunden die Trinkgeldtaste durchaus annehmen. "Derzeit haben wir in Deutschland ca. 2.500 Kunden, welche die Trinkgeldfunktion auf ihren Kartenlesern aktiviert haben", sagt Christian Scheper-Stuke, Head of Business Development & Product Management bei der Firma Orderbird. "Wir können einen deutlichen Anstieg der Trinkgeldhöhe von circa 65 Prozent bei unseren Kunden beobachten. Hierfür haben wir die Daten sechs Monate vor Einführung der Trinkgeldfunktion auf dem Kartenleser mit den Daten sechs Monate nach Einführung der Trinkgeldfunktion verglichen", führt er weiter aus.
Ähnliche Erfahrungen macht auch der Konkurrent Sumup. "Ein Blick in die Statistiken zeigt, dass die Nutzung seit dem zweiten Quartal 2022 kontinuierlich ansteigt. Innerhalb eines Jahres (Vergleich August 2022 mit August 2023) verzeichnet Sumup einen Anstieg von zwölf Prozent bei Transaktionen mit Trinkgeld. Auffällig ist: Je kleiner der Betrag, desto höher fällt prozentual anteilig das Trinkgeld aus. Die Trinkgeldhöhe überschreitet hierbei selten den Wert von 20 Euro", so Sumup.
Auch interessant: Laut Christian Scheper-Stuke wählen Gäste mit der Trinkgeldtaste am häufigsten eine Trinkgeldhöhe von zehn Prozent. | 2024-06-13T13:28:43+01:00 | true |

Taylor Swift fans felt the singer's pain when her music catalogue was sold to Scooter Braun, with one Swiftie admitting it felt like a "gut punch".
In 2019, Scooter bought Taylor's music catalogue when he acquired Big Machine. Taylor was devastated and said she felt as though she was bullied and not allowed to own her own masters.
Now, the the impacts of the feud have been addressed in a new documentary series titled Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood. In the show, fan and podcast host Zack Hourihane said: "To have this collection of moments and stories taken away from her and sold without her knowledge was truly like a gut punch for her fans."
Journalist and author Zing Tsjeng added: “She knew Scooter expected her to sit down and shut up and be a good girl, and she wasn't going to take it that way." Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood premiered on June 21, with the first episode providing viewers with insight into Taylor's account of the situation.
The second episode is told from Scooter's point of view. Taylor's team has addressed the new documentary and said Taylor has moved on from the drama. They said: "Taylor has completely moved on from this saga and has turned what started out as an extreme situation into one of the most fulfilling creative endevors of her life.
"None of these men will ever be able to take away from Taylor’s legacy as a songwriter, singer, director, philanthropist, and advocate for artists’ rights. Elsewhere in the documentary, it was revealed Taylor was "genuinely in crisis" over the sale of her music.
Mikael Wood, a music journalist at the Los Angeles Times, recalled in the documentary how Taylor felt like her "was sold out from underneath me" when Scooter bought Big Machine. Mikael said Taylor's feelings were clear during her Billboard Women In Music Awards speech.
A clip showed Taylor accepting an award on stage as she said: "After I was denied the chance to purchase my music outright, my entire catalogue was sold to Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings. None of these investors have ever bothered to contact me or my team directly, to perform their due diligence on their investment, on their investment in me."
Zing Tsjeng also spoke about Taylor's comments and said: "She seems genuinely in crisis. She’s upset, you can tell that she is in kind of freefall about this." | 2024-06-22T10:12:12+01:00 | true |
Dutch 'Mocro mafia' sets off alarm bells in Germany | Deutsche Welle | https://www.dw.com/en/dutch-mocro-mafia-sets-off-alarm-bells-in-germany/a-69764909?maca=en-rss-en-ger-1023-xml-atom | [

] | German police have warned of Dutch organized crime networks moving into Germany after they intervened in a spectacular case of kidnapping and torture. | German police have warned of Dutch organized crime networks moving into Germany after they intervened in a spectacular case of kidnapping and torture.
Fears are growing of potential mafia wars between Dutch and German crime networks after a botched drug deal appears to have resulted in the kidnap and torture of a man and a woman in western Germany earlier this month.
The two people, apparently part of a German organized crime group, were freed by a police operation in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia. The operation resulted in four arrests and the raids of six other properties in the city, during which two more men were arrested.
The western state of North Rhine-Westphalia has also seen a spate of seven bombings in three weeks, linked to attempts to steal cash from ATMs.
All these crimes are thought to have been carried out by the so-called "Mocro mafia" — an umbrella term adopted by the media in both the Netherlands and Germany for several organized crime groups that originally arose from the Dutch Moroccan community in the 1990s. The Dutch mafia is also just one of many: Europol has counted 821 organized crime networks across Europe, with more than 25,000 members.
Not just Moroccan, and not just Dutch
Though the term has since become popularized, not least by the title of a hit Dutch TV drama (currently in its sixth season and also aired in Germany), most criminologists and police agree the Mocro mafia no longer has a single ethnic identity.
"The so-called Mocro mafia began importing cannabis into the Netherlands in the 1990s and later expanded its business to include the import of cocaine," Dirk Peglow, head of the German Association of Criminal Investigators, told DW. "We are therefore dealing with a group whose structures have been established for decades."
However, they are significantly more prone to violence than the organized crime groups in Germany. Lurid stories have circulated in the media, including tales of torture chambers, severed heads left outside bars and even alleged plans to kidnap the 18-year-old Dutch Crown Princess Amalia. The prominent Dutch criminologist Cyrille Fijnaut has estimated that between 10 and 20 people are murdered by the Mocro mafia every year.
"In all these groups the violence is very high," said Mahmoud Jaraba, a crime researcher at the FAU Research Centre Islam and Law in Europe. "But in this group, the readiness to commit violence is higher." German-based groups, he pointed out, had not yet taken to blowing up ATMs.
But in terms of the structures and the businesses they are involved in, the groups are similar. "The Arabic 'clans' in Germany are not that different: The main players come from a certain family, but they're not closed groups," Jaraba told DW. "Without their networks inside and outside Germany and the Netherlands, they would not survive."
High-profile murders aim to silence witnesses, opponents
The Mocro mafia's lack of inhibition became notorious in the Netherlands in 2021 with the killing of Peter R. de Vries, a prominent Dutch journalist who had reported extensively on organized crime in the country and was shot in the head in Amsterdam after appearing on a TV talk show.
That murder was one of three connected to the six-year-long Marengo trial, when several defendants, including gang leader Ridouan Taghi, were accused of multiple murders and attempted murders. In February this year, all 17 defendants were given lengthy prison sentences, including life sentences for Taghi and three others.
As well as de Vries, the brother of crown witness Nabil B. and a prosecuting lawyer were also murdered. In June, six men were also convicted for the murder of de Vries by a Dutch court.
Mocro mafia 'already active in Germany'
Despite these judicial successes, the criminal networks appear to be thriving, and spreading to Germany. "We have seen in North Rhine-Westphalia that the group is already active in Germany and that it displays brutality in its criminal activities that includes the injury or even killing of innocent bystanders," said Peglow.
Though the kidnapping in Cologne showed that feuds between the groups could break out, the organizations usually appear to be in tight cooperation, with the German groups importing cocaine and heroin from their Dutch counterparts. "The relationships and collaboration between the different criminal groups between Germany and the Netherlands have remained in place to this day," said Jaraba.
Researchers don't know exactly when the Mocro mafia began to move into Germany, nor exactly which crimes carried out in Germany might have been on the orders of the Dutch group. Nevertheless, in recent years, the police in both Germany and the Netherlands have said they have been able to gather much more information on international organized crime networks, thanks to analysis of chat messaging apps.
Still, Peglow warned the German government needed to do more to support the police in its efforts to prevent Dutch organized crime from spreading to Germany. "In Germany, we cannot wait until similar structures are established as in Holland," he said. "We have to work very closely with the Dutch police here and prevent incidents like the one that recently happened in North Rhine-Westphalia from becoming normal here."
But without more resources, Jaraba said police had little chance against such structures. "We have extremely few capabilities to fight this phenomenon, because in most cases they come from the Netherlands and they have their escape routes, and people who cooperate with them," he said. | 2024-07-27T11:01:23.990000+01:00 | true |
Shadow health secretary considered using private healthcare after... | Daily Mail | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-13564875/Shadow-health-secretary-considered-using-private-healthcare-finding-lump.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | [

] | [] | Labour’s shadow health secretary has said he considered using private healthcare after finding a suspicious lump.
Wes Streeting, who underwent treatment for cancer in 2021, told ITV1’s Peston that, on being told recently that he needed to have a scan, his first thought had been how long the referral would take.
He said: “I was absolutely terrified and I think psychologically I gave myself, or gave the NHS, a month, and I thought to myself if the NHS can’t see me within a month, then I’m going to seriously consider paying to go private.
“I never, ever thought those words would cross my lips, I never thought that thought would cross my mind, but I think that’s the choice that lots of people around the country have been forced to make.
“Now, in the end the NHS could see me within a month and I’m all fine and no-one needs to worry. But I don’t judge people who’ve made a different choice.”
The question of private healthcare has been raised several times during the General Election campaign after Sir Keir Starmer said he would not pay to go private if he or a loved one faced a long wait for NHS treatment, while Rishi Sunak said he would.
Asked again about his statement on Monday, the Labour leader told The Sun’s Never Mind The Ballots show: “Waiting lists are now, what, nearly eight million, it’s absolutely shocking numbers, and the idea that the person who wants to be prime minister of this country would say it’s my responsibility – it will be, it’s not my mess, but it will be my responsibility to deal with it – is going to say to the nation I’m going to get your waiting lists down but in the meantime I’m going to jump the queue.”
Labour has previously said it would use the private sector to treat NHS patients in the short term to get waiting lists down.
Mr Streeting said: “What I am angry about is that it’s only those with the financial means that can access that capacity of a private sector.
“And that’s why we feel strongly that where there is spare capacity in the short to medium term, as we rebuild capacity in the NHS, we will use the independent sector to get waiting lists down faster.” | 2024-06-24T21:41:40+01:00 | true |

Qantas battling workers’ union over illegal outsourcing compensation | The West Australian | https://thewest.com.au/business/qantas-battling-workers-union-over-illegal-outsourcing-compensation-c-14840355 | [] | [

] | Embattled national airline Qantas had a “laser-like focus on saving money by any means” before they unlawfully sacked ground service staff, a court has been told.
The flying kangaroo was thrice found to have acted unlawfully when it fired 1700 staff in favour of outsourced contractors during the height of the Covid pandemic.
Qantas returned to the Federal Court on Wednesday as it battles the Transport Workers Union over the amount of compensation to be paid to former staffers.
Debate largely focused on counterfactuals presented by both Qantas and the TWU, which seek to establish what would have happened had the staff not been outsourced.
Qantas’ lawyer said evidence presented to the court showed the decision would have likely been made in 2021, the following year, given the ongoing Covid pandemic.
“They were staring into the abyss at that time. They had already suffered a calamitous loss, and were looking at least four months of dramatic losses,” they said.
“The unfortunate reality is that 2021 turned out to be very similar to 2020. The fundamentals of the risk-to-reward calculus were not at all materially different.
“The commercial benefits were more important and urgent (in 2021) than they were in 2020 (and) the risk factors were not considered materially different”.
The court was told it had “special insight” because Qantas’ experience in 2021 “mirrored” that of 2020, and that it would have moved to outsource in August of that year.
In reply, lawyers for the TWU said Qantas was improving its cash flow through domestic flights in early-2021 and in “post-Delta” media releases said no one would be sacked.
Justice Michael Lee disputed those assertions, saying there would be “limited availability” to examine decisions made in 2021 because savings had already been made by outsourcing.
For his part, Justice Lee said Qantas was “come hell or high water, by any means (or) any advice, going to be laser-like focused on saving money by whatever means”.
“Qantas was intent to do everything it could to save money irrespective of how it affected employees. If it saved money to get rid of them, they got rid of them,” he said.
A range of evidence from the time the decision was made, as well as affidavits and evidence from high-ranking executives, was presented at earlier hearings.
Among them were former Qantas airport executive general manager, Colin Hughes, and former Qantas CEO of Domestic and International, Andrew David.
Justice Lee questioned whether Qantas had sought to ensure “documentary record supported the seasons identified as being sound and defendable” in court.
He went on to claim Qantas had considered who the “decision-maker” would be in regard to who would have been best positioned to whether scrutiny.
Disputing the claim, Qantas’ lawyer said the discussion took place in a context when they knew it would be tested in court, and was not an “artificial creation of reasons”.
The hearing will continue on Thursday, with Justice Lee to hear evidence into calculations regarding compensation and the reply from TWU’s lawyers. | 2024-05-29T10:56:53+01:00 | true |

Everyone recognises the importance of markets but we need this recognition turned into action by the Government.
Yes, some markets have received substantial funding to carry out redevelopment but there has been little or nothing to support the infrastructure of markets and secure their future. Is it any wonder that more than half the markets in the UK are currently trading with a deficit and having to be subsidised by the local authority?
National Association of British Market Authorities’ Love Your Local Markets Campaign has been in existence for 12 years and National Market Traders Federation’s Young Trader Markets followed some years later.
Both are undertaken without a penny of government funding and yet these campaigns have given thousands of people the opportunity of trying market trading for the first time and led to the establishment of more than a thousand new businesses.
In recent years, markets are playing an increasing role in being a focus for community services. The Government has to stop issuing platitudes and offer proper support and funding.
The Government has invested multi-millions of pounds in town centres but markets have not got support where it is needed most in attracting new traders and helping markets operate on an equal footing with other retailers.
The time for action is now or many markets will disappear. | 2024-06-02T19:40:00+01:00 | true |

Roger Federer has put the tennis world on notice by revealing one of his children is seriously getting into the sport.
Regarded by many as the greatest player of all time, Federer, 42, is now enjoying life in retirement. The Swiss legend is relishing spending extra time with his wife Mirka and their four children, twin girls Charlene and Myla, 15, and twin boys Leo and Lenny, 10.
With Mirka, 46, also a former tennis, the quartet certainly have a head-start should they opt to take up the sport. However, Federer has vowed not to become a pushy parent, just a supportive one.
"No, I never pushed my kids into it [tennis]," he told People. “They do play tennis, and we ski, and we’re all learning to golf. We recently tried scuba diving. But the girls were never passionate about tennis, and I was relieved about it.”
However, one of his sons is showing a keen interest in tennis. He added: “The boys love their soccer. Leo is starting to show interest in getting serious about tennis.
“Lenny is much more creative, he’s very into drawing, reading. I’ll jump on the court with them whenever they want.”
Federer is embracing life after competitive tennis, including early starts rather than later finishes. He said: “I used to have to sleep in in the mornings because of late matches. It’s completely different now.
“I get to wake up when the kids do and help get them ready. Then [after school] I get to connect with the kids again over their sports and homework.
“It’s a very vital time for me to be around them, to help them and guide them and obviously let them fly on their own as well. They have their friends and need their playdates. We’re making sure their social aspect is a given."
However, they already appear to have developed a passion for Wimbledon, where their dad was so dominant. He revealed: “The other day they were asking if we could go to Wimbledon because they wanted to walk the courts,” he says. “I’m just happy their life on the road was such a good memory.” | 2024-06-22T10:13:00+01:00 | true |

After weeks of rainy weather, Britain's gardens are overrun with pesky slugs and snails with an expert suggesting that frogs and toads can help manage these pests.
The damp summer showers are expected to frustrate gardeners further, as the combination of rain and mild temperatures creates ideal breeding conditions for gastropods.
These conditions have increased the survival rate of slugs and snails, making them more likely to reproduce earlier as well.
Gardeners have observed a noticeable increase in the presence of these slimy pests, which are more visible during wet weather as they spend additional time in gardens.
According to The Sunday Times, the Royal Horticultural Society said it had been inundated with inquiries about slugs and snails, including on the gardening advice desk at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
As gardeners complain they are munching on their plants and lawns.
To keep your green space as snail and slug free as possible Dr Hayley Jones, the RHS's principal entomologist, has some helpful advice.
Dr Jones, speaking to The Times, advised gardeners to install a small wildlife pond if they can to encourage frogs and toads to move there.
She said: “These are some of the many predators that can help keep slug and snail populations in balance in a wildlife friendly garden.”
She also suggested moving growing plantlets under glass or on benches until it is bigger.
The RHS does not advice the use of slug pellets or similar products. This is because even the organic version can negatively impact other wildlife.
As the RHS no longer class slugs and snails as pests, they are now encouraging humans and gastropods to learn to coexist peacefully.
It says on its website: “It's much better to learn to live with slugs and snails, especially if you have a garden that has the right conditions for them.
“They will always be present and are a normal part of the garden ecosystem.” | 2024-06-02T19:17:00+01:00 | true |

] | Rob Burrow, the Rugby League legend, has died after a four-year battle with motor neurone disease (MND). | Rob Burrow, the Rugby League legend, has died after a four-year battle with motor neurone disease (MND).
Rob Burrow, the Rugby League legend and campaigner, has tragically died at the age of 41 after a four-year battle with motor neurone disease (MND).
But what really is MND?
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a progressive neurological condition that affects the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscles.
MND leads to muscle weakness and wasting, which ultimately impairs movement, speech, swallowing, and breathing.
While the exact cause of MND remains unknown, early diagnosis is crucial for managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
One of the most common early signs is unexplained muscle weakness, often starting in the hands or feet.
This can manifest as difficulty in gripping objects, buttoning shirts, or a noticeable drop in the foot while walking.
Frequent cramps, spasms, or muscle twitches in the arms, legs, shoulders, or tongue can indicate motor neuron dysfunction.
Changes in speech, such as slurring or difficulty articulating words, can be an early indicator, especially in cases where MND affects the bulbar region.
Difficulty in swallowing or frequent choking on food or liquids can be an early symptom, often associated with bulbar onset MND.
Weakness in the leg muscles can lead to balance problems, resulting in frequent stumbling or falls.
As the fine motor skills deteriorate, changes in handwriting or difficulty with tasks requiring precise hand movements can occur.
Persistent and unexplained fatigue, even with minimal exertion, is common among individuals with early MND.
Some individuals may experience changes in emotional expression, such as laughing or crying at inappropriate times, a condition known as pseudobulbar affect.
Early detection of MND is critical for several reasons.
Early intervention can help manage symptoms more effectively, improving the patient's quality of life.
While there is no cure, certain treatments and therapies can slow disease progression and help maintain function for longer periods.
Early diagnosis allows patients and families to access support services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, which can help adapt to the changing needs.
At 5ft 5in, Burrow was known for being one of the smallest players in Rugby League. He revealed his MND diagnosis in 2019 and has since been part of numerous successful fundraising efforts alongside former team-mate Kevin Sinfield.
The pair have raised more than £8million for people affected by MND. Last year, Sinfield ran seven ultra-marathons in seven days.
A Leeds Rhinos statement read: "It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of our beloved son, husband, father, brother and friend.
"Rob has always been a true inspiration throughout his life whether that was on the rugby league field or during his battle with MND (motor neurone disease).
"He never allowed others to define what he could achieve and believed in his own ability to do more.
"The outpouring of love and support that Rob and the whole Burrow family have received over the last four and half years meant so much to Rob.
"In particular, the rugby league family and the MND community have rallied around Rob to inspire him, thank you for your support.
"For those who knew Rob throughout his life, his determination and spirit in the face of MND over the last four and half years came as no surprise.
"Rob never accepted that he couldn't do something, he just found his own way of doing it better than anyone else.
"He will continue to inspire us all every day. In a world full of adversity, we must dare to dream." | 2024-06-02T18:57:00+01:00 | true |

Die Wahl ist angefochten worden, eine Wiederholung nicht ausgeschlossen.
Erfurt/Saalfeld - Wegen der Zulassung von zwei AfD-Wahllisten ist die Kreistagswahl im Kreis Saalfeld-Rudolstadt angefochten worden. Ein AfD-Mitglied habe die Wahl fristgerecht angefochten, sagte auf Anfrage eine Sprecherin des Landesverwaltungsamtes, das als Rechtsaufsichtsbehörde für die Prüfung der Anfechtung zuständig ist. Die Frist für die Anfechtung war am 4. Juli abgelaufen. Bis zum 20. September hat das Landesverwaltungsamt Zeit zur Prüfung. Der neue Kreistag könne sich trotzdem konstituieren, so die Sprecherin. Stelle sich aber heraus, dass die Zulassung unrichtig war, drohe die Wiederholung der Kreistagswahl. Zuvor hatte der MDR berichtet.
Der Kreiswahlausschuss Saalfeld-Rudolstadt hatte für die Kreistagswahl am 26. Mai sowohl eine AfD-Liste als auch eine Liste „Alternative für den Landkreis“ (AfL) - ebenfalls von AfD-Mitgliedern - zugelassen. Hintergrund ist ein lokaler Streit in der AfD, der Wochen vor der Wahl über eine Liste mit Kandidaten für die Kreistagswahl entbrannt war.Der Thüringer AfD-Landesverband mit seinem Chef Björn Höcke wollte erreichen, dass die bereits erstellte Liste annulliert und eine neue aufgestellt wird. Die Kandidaten weigerten sich aber. Schließlich wurde eine zweite, konkurrierende AfL-Liste erstellt, die von AfD-Landeschef Björn Höcke unterstützt wurde und bei der Kreistagswahl 13,7 Prozent der Stimmen erhielt. Die Liste mit dem offiziellen AfD-Namen landete bei 18,6 Prozent.
Gegen mehrere Mitglieder auf der AfD-Liste um den Landtagsabgeordneten Karlheinz Frosch wurden Parteiausschlussverfahren gestartet. Frosch selbst hatte einen Tag nach der Wahl angekündigt, die Partei und die Landtagsfraktion zu verlassen. | 2024-07-05T13:16:00+01:00 | true |

The time has almost come to find out which act will be named the 2024 champion of Britain’s Got Talent. As the ITV show kicked off on Sunday night, the four judges wowed in their finest attire before welcoming the contestants.
However, it seemed as though viewers were quick to comment on the judges wildcard option as The Trickstars were brought back to compete in the final, for a second time. Taking to Twitter @TVqueertiques said: "They did nothing to prove they deserved this wildcard spot. #BGT #BritainsGotTalent"
With @ItsCloeMoe adding: " Really...trickstars wtf, I mean they were good BUT THEY'VE BEEN IN THE FINAL BEFORE, so many more deserved it, I don't understand this show sometimes." Throughout the past week, ITV viewers saw the semi-finalists all hopeful of earning a place in the grand finale.
However, only eight people were chosen to go through, with one of them being crowned the winner on Sunday night.
The lucky act will also receive a whopping cash prize of £250,000 and a spot at the Royal Variety Performance.
One of the hopeful contestants wanting to become the 2024 series winner is 28-year-old singer Sydnie Christmas.
According to the latest odds, she’s the bookie's favourite to become the next champion and follow in the footsteps of last year’s winner, comedian Viggo Venn.
Sydnie’s odds stand at 2 /5 to win, with Alex Mitchel in at a close second with odds of 4/1.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "We've seen some sensational acts along the way.
“But, it all boils down to tonight's final, where the odds suggest it's going to take something pretty special to stop Sydnie Christmas from winning the series."
Alex Mitchell’s odds of winning stand at 4/1 ahead of Abigail & Afronitaa at 7/1.
Sadly, every other act is currently 12/1 or bigger, with Northants Sings Out and Trixy having odds of 66/1.
Sydnie was Amanda Holden’s Golden Buzzer act and won the semi-final on Thursday night.
The act told ITV News: “I cannot believe the way this has gone. You can't compare each other to anyone because everyone is their own act.
“That's the beautiful thing of it. And that is why I love this competition. My main thing would be performing at the Royal Variety. If I was to do that, oh my god, I would cry."

] | It is 7.30am at the Paris Camping Club but Sharon and Malcolm Scott have been awake for more than an hour.
Their log cabin is decked out in Union flags and looks much like a miniature shrine to their daughter Hannah. It would be their last breakfast before she was crowned Olympic champion.
‘We went to a chapel last night to say a prayer,’ says Malcolm, the nervous father. He takes a swig of coffee from his lucky mug, emblazoned with an image of Hannah looking like a superhero in her Team GB rowing kit.
‘It feels surreal,’ he adds. ‘Hannah took up rowing when she was 13 years of age, so this has been 12 years of sacrifice. I’ve been thinking about the first day I took Hannah to Bann Rowing Club (in Northern Ireland). A guy called Geoff came out and asked her why she wanted to start rowing. Hannah said, “I want to go to the Olympics and win a medal”. I remember it clearly.
‘Bann made Hannah who she is now. It’s a club just beneath a Chinese restaurant, with no money but a big heart. I always told Geoff that if we ever made it to the Olympic Games we’d be taking him with us, so we’ll be picking him up on the way.’
We squeeze into their hired Fiat and meet Geoff just around the corner. He’s ready and waiting. He’s been waiting for years.
Sharon’s phone flashes with messages from loved ones back home, sending pictures of the big screen that has been installed in Coleraine’s town centre, especially for Hannah’s final in the quadruple sculls.
‘The last time we watched Hannah at the Olympics was during Covid,’ explains Sharon. ‘It was really weird, sitting on the sofa back in Northern Ireland at 4am, just the two of us in our bubble.
‘One of the girls caught a crab out on the water and that cost them a place in the medals. It took a long while to get over. We were trying to persuade Hannah to get the Olympic tattoo afterwards but she just wouldn’t do it. It was tough. Anything could happen today, that’s why I’m nervous.’
The parents splashed out almost £5,000 on tickets, pleading with friends and family to enter the ballot on their behalf. No freebies at these Games. A dozen of their beloved are waiting at the local patisserie, where they park up to catch the shuttle bus to Vaires-sur-Marne. ‘I’ll be too nervous to eat later,’ says Malcolm, picking up a croissant.
‘We spoke to Hannah on the phone last night. Sharon talks to her about anything other than rowing to lighten the mood. She will be going on holiday after this and they were talking about buying some bits in the sales. That and their GB nails… anything to break the intensity.
‘To be honest, I find it hard not to talk about the competition. We’ve been on this journey for years and it means so much. As a parent, it will be really hard if they don’t get a medal. You just want to see these girls get something that they will have for the rest of their days. Something to put on their walls. As a dad, that’s what I want to see.’
Down at the venue, Geoff surveys the water. Storms raged overnight but he says it’s no different to where the river widens on the Bann estuary.
By chance, Hannah’s old coach from Princeton University is in the stands and joins them. Hannah and her crew-mates — Lauren Henry, Lola Anderson and Georgie Brayshaw — are last up so they face a long wait in the aggressive heat. They watch Hannah’s boyfriend, Ollie Wynne-Griffith, book his own place in the finals and the clock slowly ticks down.
Eventually, the women’s boat pulls up to the starting line. One of Sharon’s friends hands over a fan but nothing is going to stop the heat. ‘I might need a heart surgeon,’ she says, gripping Malcolm’s forearm like a stress-ball.
Malcolm grimaces in anticipation. He stands in silence but lets out a rip-roaring scream of encouragement when the boat appears on the big screen. ‘She’s got her lucky plait!’ points out Sharon.
The Netherlands fly out the blocks and leave Team GB playing catch-up from the start. The Dutch were expected to set off quickly but not this quickly.
‘There’s a long way to go yet,’ says one of the friends, offering some words of reassurance at the half-way point. Sharon clutches her friends like a comfort blanket, pulling them all in closer.
Agonisingly, the finish line comes into sight but Britain still trail. They shorten the gap stroke by stroke but from the stands it looks like the Dutch have the edge. ‘They’re coming!’ shouts a voice but the race ending is locked in uncertainty.
In that moment, the world stops. ‘Oh f***, it’s a photo finish! It’s a f***ing photo finish!’ shouts Sharon. Have they? Haven’t they? Then victory flashes up on the big screen and the stand rocks in joyous bedlam. Prayers answered, Malcolm almost falls off his crutches and Sharon hugs anyone within reach.
They race down the stands to greet Hannah, Malcolm flashing his crutches to get into the disabled area after the national anthems.
They are separated by the stands and the venue is closing, so they head to a bar near the patisserie, while Sophie talks through the team’s famous victory in various press conferences. ‘Will you show Sophie where to go?’ asks Sharon politely.
Media duties complete, wearing an ice vest under her tracksuit to cool down, Sophie steps back out into the real world as an Olympic champion.
Life changes in an instant when you win gold and suddenly she is swarmed by fans wanting photographs. Two police officers notice the gold around her neck and offer to drive her to the patisserie, 20 minutes away.
We hop into the back of the car, sirens blazing, bypassing road blocks, whizzing down one-way streets. The golden treatment.
Yet Hannah, the humble rower from Bann, takes it all in her stride. She is just delighted to see photographs of her parents having the time of their lives.
‘I can’t believe those mugs!’ she says with a chuckle.For everyone at home, the blockbuster race provided six or so minutes of golden television. For the Scott family, the memories will last for ever. | 2024-07-31T23:01:35+01:00 | true |

Vasseur has pulled off a number of coups since replacing Mattia Binotto as team principal, having already secured Lewis Hamilton's services for next season.Ferrari have poached several key members of staff from Mercedes, including Loic Serra and Jerome d'Ambrosio, in recent weeks. They have also been linked with a potential move for outgoing Red Bull designer Adrian Newey, who will leave the reigning champions in early 2025.Vasseur could be about to strike another exciting agreement regarding the future of Oliver Bearman, who is considered to be Ferrari's best young prospect. He earned plenty of praise when he stepped in for Carlos Sainz at this year's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, finishing seventh on his F1 debut.
Ferrari are close to reaching an agreement with Haas that would see Bearman drive for the American team in 2025, according to Lawrence Barretto. It is said that talks have progressed to the point where it is nearly a 'done deal', with only minor details still to be thrashed out in negotiations.Bearman has already driven for Haas this year, stepping in for Kevin Magnussen in FP1 at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Haas team principal Ayao Kamatsu was left highly impressed with Bearman's display, saying: "I don’t think you can fault him. He’s done really well.
"All the way from the initial preparation, he’s been very professional, very, very easy to deal with in every single process, I have nothing to complain [about]. Today, with the calmness, procedures he understood, he understood the objectives of every single run. He didn’t put a foot wrong, really."Bearman is due to have another FP1 outing for Haas at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in December. However, it remains to be seen how he will cope with the trials and tribulations of a full-time seat if his proposed move to Haas for 2025 goes ahead.The 19-year-old has been tipped as a future Ferrari driver and the Maranello squad will be hoping that a season or two at Haas will aid his development by providing valuable experience. He could end up taking a similar pathway to Charles Leclerc, who raced for Sauber in his debut F1 season before stepping up to Ferrari a year later. | 2024-06-02T18:54:00+01:00 | true |

Pretoria - Der politische Frust der Südafrikaner hat sich im Ergebnis der Parlamentswahl klar niedergeschlagen. Zum ersten Mal seit 30 Jahren hat die Regierungspartei Afrikanischer Nationalkongress (ANC) die absolute Mehrheit verloren, wie nun auch offiziell feststeht. Die Bildung einer Koalitionsregierung wird jedoch nicht einfach werden. Gleichzeitig wächst die Sorge vor politischer Instabilität.
Der ANC sicherte sich bei den Parlamentswahlen 159 der 400 Sitze, wie die Wahlbehörde zum Endergebnis mitteilte. Das Ergebnis bedeutet einen massiven Machtverlust für die Partei des einstigen Anti-Apartheid-Kämpfers Nelson Mandela: Sie hat nun 71 Sitze weniger. Es ist das erste Mal in der demokratischen Geschichte des Landes, dass der ANC die stärkste Volkswirtschaft des Kontinents nicht mehr allein regieren wird.
„Unser Volk hat gesprochen, ob es uns gefällt oder nicht“, sagte Präsident Cyril Ramaphosa nach Verkündung der Endergebnisse. Die Entscheidung müsse respektiert werden. Der Vorsitzende der Wahlbehörde, Mosotho Moepya, nannte das Wahlergebnis einen „Schlüsselmoment“ für das Land.
ANC will Koalition bilden
„Es gibt es nichts zu feiern“, sagte ANC-Generalsekretär Fikile Mbalula bei einer Pressekonferenz. „Die Ergebnisse senden eine klare Botschaft. Wir möchten den Menschen in Südafrika versichern, dass wir sie gehört haben. Wir haben ihre Sorgen, ihre Frustrationen und ihre Unzufriedenheit gehört.“
Der ANC, der trotz der hohen Verluste die meisten Stimmen erhielt, wolle nun eine stabile und effektive Regierung bilden, um grundlegende wirtschaftliche und soziale Reformen durchzusetzen, so der Generalsekretär. Die Partei werde in den kommenden Tagen Koalitionsgespräche mit den Parteien führen, die eine solche Agenda vorantreiben könnten. Welche Koalitionspartner dafür infrage kämen, sagte Mbalula nicht.
Die Zeit ist knapp berechnet: Innerhalb von 14 Tagen müssen nun die 400 neugewählten Parlamentarier eine Regierung bilden und einen Präsidenten wählen.
Als Koalitionspartner kommt zum einen die wirtschaftsliberale Demokratische Allianz (DA) infrage, die im Parlament auf 87 Sitze kommt und damit die zweitstärkste Partei ist. Ihr folgt ein politischer Neuling: die erst vor sechs Monaten von Ex-Präsident Jacob Zuma gegründete Partei uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK), die 58 Sitze erhielt. Die marxistisch geprägte Partei Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), die für entschädigungslose Enteignungen im großen Stil und Verstaatlichungen eintritt und vom ehemaligen Vorsitzenden des ANC-Jugendverbands, Julius Malema, geführt wird, sicherte sich 39 Sitze.
Analysten: Ergebnis Folge schwacher Regierungsführung
Mbalula wies Gerüchte zurück, Ramaphosa werde aufgrund des schlechten Wahlergebnisses sein Amt niederlegen. „Wir wussten, dass wir in Schwierigkeiten stecken - es ist nicht so, dass wir es nicht wussten. Wir haben sehr hart gekämpft“, so Mbalula.
Der erhebliche Machtverlust des ANC ist politischen Kommentatoren zufolge einer schwachen Regierungsführung zuzuschreiben. Das 61-Millionen-Einwohner Land leidet seit Jahren an einer kränkelnden Wirtschaft, Massenarbeitslosigkeit, tiefgreifender Korruption, maroden Staatsunternehmen und einem bröckelnden Gesundheits- und Bildungssektor. Während seiner Zeit als Präsident untergruben Zuma und seine Regierung von 2009 bis 2018 systematisch den Staat durch Veruntreuung und Vetternwirtschaft. Trotz vieler Versprechungen konnte Zumas Nachfolger Ramaphosa dem kein Ende setzen.
Welche Rolle wird neu ermächtigter Zuma spielen?
So überraschend es auch klingen mag, der ANC hat Analysten zufolge viele Stimmen an die MK verloren. Zuma, der manchmal der „Donald Trump Südafrikas“ genannt wird, ist trotz zahlreicher Korruptionsvorwürfe und laufender Gerichtsverfahren gegen ihn ein beliebter Politiker, vor allem in seiner Heimatprovinz KwaZulu-Natal. Dort schrammte die neu gegründete MK mit 45,91 Prozent der Stimmen knapp an einer absoluten Mehrheit auf Provinzebene vorbei.
Ein neu ermächtigter Zuma präsentierte sich am Samstagabend den Medien in der Wirtschaftsmetropole Johannesburg und forderte eine „Wiederholung der Wahl“ aufgrund „sehr, sehr ernsthafter“ Wahlmanipulation, begründete die Vorwürfe aber nicht.
Der ANC, politische Kommentatoren und Lokalmedien fassten Zumas Aussage als Drohung auf. Der 82-Jährige gilt als Populist und Unruhestifter, der innerhalb kurzer Zeit große Menschenmassen mobilisieren kann. Nachdem Zuma 2021 eine 15-monatige Haftstrafe wegen Missachtung der Justiz antreten musste, kam es in Südafrika zu gewaltsamen Protesten, Plünderungen und Zerstörung von Infrastruktur, bei denen mehr als 300 Menschen ums Leben kamen.
Mbalula rief die Südafrikaner auf, die Grundregeln demokratischer Wahlen zu respektieren und „den Bemühungen jener Kräfte zu widerstehen, (...) die unsere Wahlprozesse untergraben wollen“. Der ANC werde keine Bedrohung der Demokratie dulden. „Wir werden gemeinsam gegen diejenigen vorgehen, die mit Gewalt und Instabilität drohen“, so Mbalula.
Deutschland und Europa beobachten Entwicklungen
Welche Parteien die erste Koalitionsregierung in Südafrikas Geschichte bilden werden, ist auch für Deutschland und Europa relevant. Südafrika ist trotz seiner strauchelnden Wirtschaft die stärkste Volkswirtschaft des Kontinents. Es gilt politisch sowie wirtschaftlich als „Tor zu Afrika“, als Zugangsland zu einem Kontinent, der aufgrund seiner für die Energiewende benötigten Rohstoffvorkommen international immer wichtiger wird. Südafrika ist zudem das einzige afrikanische Mitglied der Gruppe der großen Wirtschaftsnationen (G20). | 2024-06-01T22:29:00+01:00 | true |

Manchester United and Manchester City will be able to compete in their respective UEFA competitions alongside their sister clubs this season but could be forced into major changes next year.
There had been fears that OGC Nice - owned by INEOS - and Girona - owned by the City Football Group - might cause an unwanted headache for chiefs at both United and City.
Nice finished fifth in Ligue 1, which earned the French side qualification to the Europa League - the competition United qualified for following last month's FA Cup triumph.
Girona were one of Europe's surprise packages this season as they secured a third-place finish in La Liga to book a spot in next season's expanded Champions League.
While both are minority-owned by their parent companies, UEFA rules state a single organisation cannot have more than one club competing in the same competition.
It meant United were facing a situation that would've seen them relegated to the Europa Conference League, given they finished lower in the Premier League (8th) than Nice did in Ligue 1 (5th).
However, as per The Times, UEFA are expected to grant both United and City, along with Nice and Girona, access to their respective competitions next season.
The report claims UEFA's Club Financial Control Board (CFCB) is set to release the ruling on Monday, which will detail its approval, as long as certain conditions are met.
The CFCB is also expected to inform organisations operating under a multi-club ownership model that the 2024/25 season will be viewed as a 'transitional one' and as much 'leeway' won't be granted in the future.
This could prove problematic for Sir Jim Ratcliffe, given Nice have been a regular in European competition under INEOS' stewardship.
In three of the last five seasons Nice have finished inside France's qualification spots, meaning Ratcliffe might have to address INEOS' relationship with the side from the south of France to avoid any further conflict.
City and United aren't the only Premier League clubs to have been impacted by UEFA's rules on multi-club ownership.
Last year Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise were forced to alter their ownership structure in order to play in the Europa League alongside Brighton & Hove Albion.
While Aston Villa's owners hold a minority stake in Portuguese outfit Vitoria Guimaraes, with the pair having both qualified for last season's Europa Conference League. | 2024-06-02T18:50:00+01:00 | true |

Julian Nagelsmann served up a furious reaction when asked about a survey that revealed one in five people would prefer more white players in the German national team.
Nagelsmann is prepping his Germany side for a home European Championships, with the tournament set to kick off in less than two week's time.
But according to a survey conducted by a German news outlet, one in five people are unhappy with the number of white players in the squad.
When asked about the survey, Nagelsmann responded by saying: "I think the question itself is crazy that we are asking such a question on public television. I was shocked."
"We are playing a European Championship for everyone in the country. I hope I never have to read about such crappy surveys again."
Nagelsmann wasn't alone in criticising the survey, with Bayern Munich ace Joshua Kimmich saying: "It wasn't even a topic within the team.
"But of course, I was told beforehand that there was such a survey. Anyone who grew up in football knows that it is absolute nonsense."

Weil sich der Zeichner aber rasch langweilt, machte er danach alles andere. Eine Ausstellung zeigt seine vielen Talente.
Im Mai 1982 gab der junge US-amerikanische Künstler und Musiker Richard McGuire mit seiner Band «Liquid Liquid» ein Konzert in der Schweiz. Die später berühmte Basslinie aus dem Song «Cavern» kannte damals noch kaum jemand, erst 1983 wurde der Song veröffentlicht und schrieb Musikgeschichte: Hip-Hop-Pionier Grandmaster Melle Mel verwendeten den Basslauf noch im selben Jahr für seinen Hit «White Lines (Don't Don't Do it)».
«Der Song verfolgt mich», sagt Richard McGuire über 40 Jahre später. Er werde ihn einfach nicht mehr los. Tiefer Seufzer. Sei’s drum, Musik begleitet den Künstler bis heute. Die Ausstellung im Cartoonmuseum Basel zeigt, wie wichtig ihm Musik und Geräusche sind. Immer wieder hat er Sound kongenial in Zeichnung übersetzt.
Seine neusten Arbeiten übersetzen Vogelgesänge in abstrakte Bilder und zeigen schüchterne kleine Punkte oder lange verschnörkelte Linien. Richard McGuire hat die Fähigkeit zu überraschenden graphischen Lösungen zu kommen, die sitzen. Wer die Bilder sieht, weiss sofort, wie das klingt.
Klang als Diagramm
Auch seine neuen «Sound Drawings» nutzen Klänge. Sie erzählen zwar keine Geschichten, liefern aber jede Menge narratives Potenzial. Klänge wie Türenschlagen, Hundebellen oder dramatische Drum-Effekte werden in Diagrammen notiert. Was da genau passiert, kann sich dann jeder und jede selbst ausmalen.
Richard McGuire kann auf ungewöhnliche Weise ungewöhnliche Geschichten erzählen. Und er hat viele Talente. Neben Illustrationen, Bildern und Musik macht er Filme, Kinderbücher, Skulpturen und Comics.
Berühmt wurde er mit seiner Graphic Novel «Here» (2014), die wieder keine einzelne Geschichte erzählt, sondern von Zeit und Raum und der Vergänglichkeit handelt. Das klingt kompliziert, ist aber eigentlich ganz einfach.
Vor derselben Wohnzimmerecke sind verschiedene Zeitfenster gleichzeitig zu sehen, das beginnt in grauer Vorzeit und endet in der Zukunft. Dabei erzählt McGuire keine einzelne Geschichte, sondern bloss Fetzen: Familienszenen, Alltägliches, Erinnerungen.
Es geht um das Vergehen der Zeit, um die Dinge, die immer gleichbleiben. «Alles ist vergänglich, das ist nicht unbedingt traurig», sagt der Künstler mit einem angedeuteten Lächeln. Der philosophische Comic ohne konventionelle Story wurde in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzt.
Auch für «Here» nutzt Richard McGuire sein musikalisches Talent, variiert Tempo und Rhythmus und findet zu ausgefeilten Erzähltechniken: Er streut hier eine narrative Sequenz ein, verlangsamt an anderer Stelle mit elegischen Landschaftsbildern von vor 3 Milliarden Jahren.
Im Atelier mit McGuire
Die Ausstellung im Cartoonmuseum Basel zeigt, wie so ein Meisterwerk des visuellen Erzählens entsteht, mit vielen Skizzen, ja sogar einem Modell der Wohnzimmerecke. Und auch die erste Version der 300 Seiten schweren Graphic Novel ist zu sehen: Ein Comic von sechs Seiten, den McGuire 1989 in Art Spiegelmans und Françoise Moulys einflussreichem Comic-Magazin RAW publizieren konnte.
Selbst so etwas Banales wie den morgendlichen Toast mit Butter verwandelt McGuire in ein philosophisches Drama. In der Vogelperspektive erscheint das tägliche Ritual aufregend neu. Am Ende bleiben dennoch bloss ein paar Krümel, die einfach weggewischt werden. Ob von uns mehr bleiben wird? | 2024-06-09T07:47:00+01:00 | true |

Natürlich sei die Elster extrem voll und durch Niederschläge aufgewühlt, trat an mancher Stelle auch über die Ufer. „Aber wir hatten bis jetzt keinen Einsatz, mussten auch keinen Keller auspumpen oder ähnliches“, sagt der Leiter der Freiwilligen Feuerwehr Wetterzeube.

Am Pegel Kleindalzig befindet sich der Wasserstand bei steigender Tendenz am Sonntagmittag noch knapp unterhalb des Richtwerts der Meldegrenze. Auch die Leitstelle des Burgenlandkreise meldet am Sonntag auf Nachfrage „keine besonderen Vorkommnisse.“
Der Deutsche Wetterdienst Leipzig schätzte am Sonntagmittag ein: „Eine regionale oder überregionale Hochwassergefahr besteht für das Gebiet der Weißen Elster nicht mehr.

Europawahlen: das Wichtigste im Überblick | Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen | https://www.srf.ch/news/international/letzter-wahltag-in-der-eu-europawahlen-das-wichtigste-im-ueberblick | [

] | [] | In allen EU-Staaten ist heute Abschluss der Europawahl. Rund 370 Millionen Menschen aus 27 EU-Staaten sind und waren dazu aufgerufen, die 720 Mitglieder des Europäischen Parlaments zu wählen. Doch wie läuft die Wahl ab, die heute zu Ende geht? Und was sagen die Wahlumfragen? EU-Korrespondent Andreas Reich beantwortet die wichtigsten Fragen.
Wie läuft die Wahl ab?
Das Parlament ist das einzige Organ der EU, das direkt vom Volk gewählt wird. Je bevölkerungsreicher ein EU-Staat ist, desto mehr Parlamentarierinnen und Parlamentarier hat er. Mit 96 stellt Deutschland die meisten Parlamentarier. Die kleinsten Mitgliedstaaten Zypern, Luxemburg und Malta schicken nur sechs Personen ins Parlament. Die Wahl erstreckt sich europaweit über vier Tage. Den Auftakt machen die Niederlande am 6. Juni. In den meisten Staaten wird am 9. Juni gewählt. Ergebnisse gibt es ab Sonntagabend.
Wie viel Macht hat das EU-Parlament?
Das EU-Parlament wurde lange als «zahnloser Tiger» belächelt. Dieser Ruf hängt ihm bis heute nach. Wahr ist: Das EU-Parlament hat weniger Einfluss, als es nationale Parlamente in der Regel haben. Es kann zum Beispiel selbst keine Gesetze vorschlagen. Dieses Recht liegt bei der EU-Kommission. Tatsache ist aber auch, dass die Position des Parlaments über die Jahrzehnte deutlich stärker wurde: Heute kann auf EU-Ebene kein Gesetz in Kraft treten, ohne dass das Parlament zustimmt. Grundsätzlich gilt aber in der EU: Den grössten Einfluss hat die Gruppe der 27 Staats- und Regierungschefs (offiziell Europäischer Rat). Sie geben die politische Richtung vor.
Wie viele Sitze haben die Fraktionen im aktuellen Parlament?
Wie setzen sich die Fraktionen zusammen?
Was passiert nach der Wahl?
Zunächst werden die politischen Fraktionen neu gebildet. Offene Fragen gibt es vor allem im rechten bis rechtsextremen Lager. Werden Giorgia Melonis Fratelli d’Italia (zurzeit Teil der EKR-Fraktion) und Marine Le Pens Rassemblement National (zurzeit Teil der ID-Fraktion) künftig in einer gemeinsamen Fraktion einen grossen rechten Block bilden? Oder kommt es zu einer noch stärkeren Zersplitterung des rechten Lagers?
Die erste Sitzung des neuen Parlaments findet dann Mitte Juli statt. Eine erste wichtige Aufgabe des neuen Parlaments wird die Wahl der Kommissionspräsidentin oder des Kommissionspräsidenten sein. Ob diese aber bereits im Juli stattfindet, ist offen. Das Parlament ist in seiner Wahl nicht frei. Es kann nur wählen, wer ihm zuvor von den Staats- und Regierungschefs der 27 Mitgliedstaaten zur Wahl vorgeschlagen wird. Die Chefs der EU-Staaten treffen sich am 17. Juni ein erstes Mal, um über ihren Vorschlag zu beraten. Das Parlament kann den Vorschlag der Mitgliedstaaten aber ablehnen und ist für die Wahl des Kommissionspräsidiums deshalb entscheidend. Favoritin bleibt Ursula von der Leyen. Aber: 2019 wurde sie nur mit 9 Stimmen Differenz gewählt. Sollten ihre damaligen Hauptunterstützer, die Christlich-Konservativen (EVP), Sozialdemokraten und Liberalen Sitze einbüssen, könnte es für sie erneut knapp werden.
Was sagen die Wahlumfragen?
Wie viele andere Wahlen in Europa waren 2019 auch die Europawahlen von einer «Grünen Welle» geprägt. In diesem Jahr müssen die Grünen aber mit Verlusten rechnen. Zulegen dürften laut Umfragen dagegen rechte Parteien. Das EU-Parlament dürfte deutlich nach rechts rücken. Doch selbst wenn man die Stimmen aller rechten Parteien (EKR, ID und Fraktionslose) addiert, dürfte der rechte Block auch im neuen Parlament deutlich von einer absoluten Mehrheit entfernt sein. | 2024-06-06T12:30:00+01:00 | true |

] | [] | Nordkorea hat nach Angaben Südkoreas erneut zahlreiche Ballons mit Plastikbeuteln voller Müll über die Grenze zwischen beiden Ländern geschickt.
In den letzten zwei Tagen seien etwa 330 «Müll-Ballons» aus Nordkorea aufgestiegen, teilte der Generalstab in der Hauptstadt Seoul mit.
Südkorea kündigte an, deshalb den nördlichen Nachbarn wieder mit Lautsprecher-Durchsagen zu beschallen.
Von den 330 Ballons sind mehr als 80 auf südkoreanischem Territorium niedergegangen. Die übrigen hätten vermutlich ihr Ziel nicht erreicht, teilte Südkorea mit.
In angehängten Beuteln hätten sich unter anderem Altpaper und Plastik befunden. Erste Untersuchungen ergaben, dass sie keine gefährlichen Substanzen enthielten. Die Menschen wurden trotzdem aufgerufen, die gelandeten Objekte nicht zu berühren.
Die Ballonaktionen Nordkoreas sind eine Reaktion auf ähnliche Aktivitäten südkoreanischer Gruppen. Diese versenden immer wieder Tausende Flugblätter und anderes Propagandamaterial mit riesigen Gasballons über die Grenze. In den Flugblättern kritisieren sie die autoritäre Führung des abgeschotteten Nachbarlands.
Nach Berichten südkoreanischer Medien unternahmen am Donnerstag und Freitag zwei verschiedene Gruppen solche Flugblattaktionen. Pjöngjang reagiert auf Propaganda von aussen in der Regel empfindlich und wirft der Regierung in Seoul vor, solche Ballonaktionen privater Gruppen zu unterstützen. Seit Ende Mai schickte Nordkorea mehr als tausend mit Abfallprodukten und teils mit Gülle gefüllte Ballons nach Südkorea.
Südkorea reaktiviert Propaganda-Beschallungen
Angesichts der wachsenden Spannungen auf der koreanischen Halbinsel beschloss Südkoreas Regierung zuletzt, ein Militärabkommen mit Nordkorea von 2018 über vertrauensbildende Massnahmen an der Grenze auszusetzen. Damit machte sie unter anderem den Weg frei für die Wiederaufnahme von Militärübungen nahe der militärischen Demarkationslinie, aber auch für mögliche Propaganda-Beschallungen mit Lautsprechern in Richtung Norden.
Kurz darauf kündigte der Nationale Sicherheitsrat in Seoul an, den nördlichen Nachbarn wieder mit Lautsprecher-Durchsagen zu beschallen. Die Boxenanlagen sind entlang der Grenze aufgetürmt und nach Norden ausgerichtet. In der Vergangenheit strahlte Südkorea unter anderem Nachrichten und koreanischsprachige Pop-Musik in solch hoher Lautstärke aus, dass sie mutmasslich noch 20 Kilometer entfernt zu hören sind.
Die Beschallung mit Lautsprechern zählt zu den Mitteln der psychologischen Kriegsführung. Südkorea stoppte die Massnahme, nachdem es 2018 mit Nordkorea ein Abkommen zur Entspannung der Beziehungen geschlossen hatte. Doch mittlerweile liegt der Pakt faktisch auf Eis, nachdem Nordkorea sein Raketenprogramm vorangetrieben und den südlichen Nachbarn zum «Feind Nummer eins» erklärt hat. | 2024-06-09T07:23:00+01:00 | true |

] | [] | May 27 (Reuters) - Euro zone government bond yields edged lower on Monday ahead of key economic data after rising last week as markets scaled back expectations for monetary easing by the European Central Bank.
Investors will be focusing on the German consumer price index on Wednesday, along with French, Italian and euro area inflation figures and U.S. personal consumption expenditure price index data on Friday. The ECB's consumer expectations survey will be released on Tuesday, and the U.S. Federal Reserve's Beige Book on Wednesday.
Germany's 2-year government bond yield, more sensitive to policy rate expectations, was down 0.5 basis points (bps) at 3.08% in Monday morning trade, after hitting 3.124% on Friday, its highest since mid-November.
Money markets last priced in 57 bps of ECB monetary easing rate cuts in 2024, which imply two rate cuts and an around 30% chance of a third move by year-end.
Germany's 10-year yield, the bloc's benchmark, dropped 0.5 bps to 2.58%.
Italy's 10-year yield was down 0.5 bps at 3.88%.
The yield gap between Italian and German bonds , a gauge of the risk premium investors seek to hold bonds of the euro area's most indebted countries, was at 129 bps.

Deren Tochter war bis vor einigen Jahren ebenfalls prominent liiert.
Los Angeles - Medienunternehmer Rupert Murdoch hat im Alter von 93 Jahren zum fünften Mal geheiratet. Der in Australien geborene Medienmogul gab am Samstag auf seinem Weingut in Kalifornien der 67-jährigen pensionierten Molekularbiologin Elena Zhukova das Ja-Wort. Das berichtete die US-Ausgabe der „Sun“.
Die Boulevard-Zeitung gehört zur einst von Murdoch geleiteten News Corporation, jenem Medienimperium, zu dem auch Titel wie das konservative „Wall Street Journal“ und der rechte TV-Sender „Fox News“ zählen. Die News Corporation veröffentlichte auch Fotos der Hochzeit.
Bereits im März 2023 hatte Murdoch Pläne für eine fünfte Hochzeit gehegt. Seinerzeit hatte er Medienberichten zufolge der heute 67-jährigen Ann Lesley Smith, der Witwe des Country-Sängers Chester Smith, einen Heiratsantrag gemacht. Doch zwei Wochen später habe er die Beziehung abrupt beendet, schrieb die „New York Times“ damals.
Murdoch hatte sich im Sommer 2022 von der Schauspielerin Jerry Hall getrennt, mit der er seit 2016 verheiratet gewesen war. Davor war er bereits drei Mal verheiratet gewesen, aus den Ehen stammen sechs Kinder. Zhukova kam gegen Ende der Sowjetunion in die USA und forschte laut „New York Times“ unter anderem an der Universität von Kalifornien. Ihre Tochter Dascha war bis 2017 mit dem russischen Oligarchen Roman Abramowitsch liiert. | 2024-06-02T19:31:00+01:00 | true |

] | [] | Die Schweizer Stimmbevölkerung entscheidet am Sonntag über die Volksinitiative «Für Freiheit und körperliche Unversehrtheit», auch «Stopp-Impfpflicht-Initiative».
Sie will die körperliche und geistige Unversehrtheit stärken.
Die Initiative ist mit wenig Unterstützung in die Kampagne gestartet.
Die Initiative fordert, dass für Eingriffe in die körperliche oder geistige Unversehrtheit die Zustimmung der betroffenen Person vorliegen muss. Gemäss Initiative darf zudem eine Person, die die Zustimmung verweigert, weder bestraft noch benachteiligt werden. Der Initiativtext spricht nicht von «Impfungen», sondern allgemein von «Eingriffen in die körperliche und geistige Unversehrtheit».
Die Initianten
Lanciert hat die Initiative die Freiheitliche Bewegung Schweiz (FBS). Zum Komitee gehören neben FBS-Präsident Richard Koller unter anderen die frühere Luzerner SVP-Nationalrätin Yvette Estermann, der Komiker Marco Rima sowie der Impfkritiker Daniel Trappitsch. Von den grossen Parteien hat einzig die SVP Schweiz die Ja-Parole herausgegeben.
Das sagen die Befürworter
Der Mensch sei nur frei, wenn er in Eigenverantwortung und mit Überzeugung selbst bestimmen könne, was in seinen Körper komme, schreiben die Befürworterinnen und Befürworter. Die aktuellen Entwicklungen zu Impfschäden zeigten, dass man der Politik nicht trauen könne.
Weder Politik, Pharmaindustrie noch internationale Organisationen dürften entscheiden, ob ein implantierbarer Mikrochip, Nanopartikel, eine Gen-Manipulation, eine Impfung oder etwas anderes in den Körper gelange. Eine Initiative sei der einzige Weg, die «pharmaorientierte Politik» zu stoppen.
Das sagen die Gegner
Der Bundesrat, das Parlament und die grossen Parteien bis auf die SVP empfehlen ein Nein zur Initiative. Das Grundrecht auf körperliche und geistige Unversehrtheit stehe bereits in der Verfassung.
Weil im Initiativtext nicht von «Impfungen» die Rede sei, sondern von «Eingriffen in die körperliche und geistige Unversehrtheit», geben die Gegnerinnen und Gegner zu bedenken, dass sie grundsätzlich jedes Handeln von Bund, Kantonen und Gemeinden erfasse, das auf den Körper einwirkt. Bei einem Ja könnte die Polizei zum Beispiel keine Verdächtigten mehr festnehmen, ohne deren Zustimmung.
Initiative mit schlechten Karten
Die Initiative ist schlecht in die Kampagne gestartet. Bei der ersten SRG-Umfrage hätten 70 Prozent der Umfrageteilnehmenden die Initiative bestimmt oder eher abgelehnt. Bei der zweiten Umfrage ist der Nein-Anteil auf 75 Prozent angewachsen. Auch die Unterstützung in der Parteilandschaft ist geschrumpft. Konnte die SVP in ihrem Umfeld bei der ersten Umfrage noch eine Mehrheit für das Anliegen finden, war diese bei der zweiten Umfrage nicht mehr vorhanden. | 2024-06-09T08:03:00+01:00 | true |

Die Erwartungen an „The Special One“ bei Vizemeister Fenerbahce sind groß.
Istanbul - Begleitet von lautstarken Sprechchören ist José Mourinho am Abend offiziell beim Istanbuler Traditionsclub Fenerbahçe vorgestellt worden. Als der Fußballtrainer um 18.08 Uhr (MESZ) über einen blauen Teppich das Stadion im Stadtteil Kadıköy betrat, zündeten die Fans etliche bengalische Feuer.
Das Stadion war zu drei Viertel gefüllt, die Atmosphäre beim türkischen Vizemeister glich einer Titelfeier. „Das ist eine große Verantwortung. Ich gehöre von jetzt an zur Familie“, sagte der 61 Jahre alte Coach unter tosendem Applaus.
Zuletzt war Mourinho, der 2004 den FC Porto und 2010 Inter Mailand zum Champions-League-Titel geführt hatte, für die AS Rom tätig gewesen. Am Samstagabend hatte Fenerbahçe die Verpflichtung des Startrainers aus Portugal öffentlich gemacht. Über die genaue Vertragslaufzeit wurde zunächst nichts bekannt. Die Nachrichtenagentur DHA hatte vorab berichtet, Mourinho werde einen Kontrakt über zwei Jahre erhalten. Er folgt auf Ismail Kartal.
Der 19-malige türkische Meister, der zuletzt 2014 den Titel in der Süper Lig holte, will mit „The Special One“ zurück an die Spitze. Den richtigen Ton traf Mourinho am Sonntag schon mal: „Zuerst will euch für eure Liebe danken“, sagte der überschwänglich gefeierte Coach, „die Liebe, die ich vom ersten Moment an fühlte, als mein Name mit Fenerbahçe in Verbindung gebracht wurde“.
„Eure Träume sind jetzt meine Träume“
Normalerweise werde ein Trainer nach Siegen gefeiert und geliebt, „in diesem Fall fühle ich die Liebe vor den Siegen“, führte Mourinho aus. „Dieses Trikot ist meine Haut“, sagte er pathetisch und wedelte mit einem gelben Vereinstrikot. Die Massen jubelten. „Fußball ist Leidenschaft“, erklärte er, „es gibt keinen besseren Ort, um diese Leidenschaft zu spüren“.
Auch als ein Fan aufs Podium gestürmt kam, um Mourinho um den Hals zu fallen, reagierte dieser gelassen und posierte spontan für ein gemeinsames Foto. „Eure Träume sind jetzt meine Träume“, sagte er zum Ende seiner Vorstellung durch Präsident Ali Koç, ehe er sich noch auf eine Ehrenrunde begab. Abermals erhellten bengalische Feuer die Ränge. | 2024-06-01T23:02:00+01:00 | true |

"Martina Odermatt"
] | [] | Das Schweizer Stimmvolk entscheidet am Sonntag über die Initiative «Für tiefere Prämien – Kostenbremse im Gesundheitswesen», die sogenannte Kostenbremse-Initiative.
Die Vorlage hat zum Ziel, die Gesundheitskosten zu senken.
Wäre Mitte Mai abgestimmt worden, wäre die Initiative gemäss der zweiten SRG-Umfrage mit 54 Prozent abgelehnt worden.
In den vergangenen zehn Jahren sind die Gesundheitskosten stetig gestiegen. Die Löhne hingegen sind im selben Zeitraum nur um sechs Prozent gestiegen. Die «Kostenbremse»-Initiative der Mitte verlangt deshalb die Einführung einer solchen Kostenbremse in der obligatorischen Krankenpflege-Versicherung. Gemäss der Volksinitiative müssten Bund und Kantone zusammen mit den Akteuren des Gesundheitswesens Massnahmen ergreifen, wenn die Gesundheitskosten im Vergleich zur Lohnentwicklung zu stark steigen würden.
Das sagen die Befürworter
Die Befürworter argumentieren, dass man mit dieser Kostenbremse Druck machen könne, damit endlich gehandelt werde. Es müssten alle Akteure Verantwortung für die Kostenentwicklung übernehmen. Fehlanreize und Kostentreiber im Gesundheitswesen seien strukturell zu bekämpfen.
Dazu zählen laut der Mitte-Partei beispielsweise die zu teuren Medikamente. Diese kosteten in der Schweiz teilweise fünfmal so viel wie im Ausland. Mit vermehrten ambulanten statt stationären Behandlungen könnte laut den Initiantinnen und Initianten jährlich eine weitere Milliarde Franken eingespart werden.
Das sagt die Gegnerschaft
Die Initiative greife durch die ausschliessliche Koppelung des Bremsmechanismus an die Wirtschafts- und Lohnentwicklung zu kurz und sei zu starr, machen die Gegner geltend. Das Begehren berücksichtige Faktoren wie die Alterung der Bevölkerung oder medizinisch-technische Fortschritte nicht.
Um kostendämpfende Massnahmen zu beschliessen, brauche es keinen neuen Verfassungsartikel. Die Gegnerschaft warnt zudem vor einem Leistungsabbau, falls die Initiative angenommen würde. Spitäler, Pflegeeinrichtungen und andere Gesundheitsdienstleister müssten dann laut dem Nein-Komitee dringend benötigte Leistungen einsparen. «Es käme zu einer Zweiklassenmedizin.»
Bundesrat, Parlament, Kantone und auch die meisten Akteure des Gesundheitswesens anerkennen die Wichtigkeit der Kostendämpfung im Gesundheitswesen, lehnen die Initiative aber ab. Von den grossen Parteien engagieren sich Vertreterinnen und Vertreter von SVP, SP, FDP, GLP und Grünen im Nein-Komitee.
Typischer Kampagnenverlauf
Bei den SRG-Umfragen zur Kostenbremse war ein typischer Kampagnenverlauf ersichtlich: Stand die Initiative bei den Umfrageteilnehmenden zu Beginn mit 52 Prozent Ja-Anteil noch knapp positiv da, schwenkte die Meinung zur zweiten Umfrage hin um und wäre Mitte Mai mit 54 Prozent abgelehnt worden. | 2024-06-09T08:03:00+01:00 | true |

Recently, Simon announced that he would be joining dad Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) on his yacht, and he is set to leave for his adventure in the coming days.
In his final episodes, Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) returns from her retreat and is horrified to discover that he is leaving.
Furious, she insists that she should have been consulted over the decision, but when Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) assures her that they left a message with Rowan Cunliffe (Emrhys Cooper) to pass on, she flips and accuses him of conspiring with Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) behind her back.
With the decision having already been made, Leanne has no choice but to wave Simon off to begin his new life on Peter’s yacht.
While these scenes will be Simon’s last on the show, actor Alex Bain revealed that his final episodes were filmed out of order, so his very last scene was actually something completely different.
‘It was incredibly emotional which is understandable as it has been a huge part of my life,’ he said of wrapping on Corrie.
‘We filmed out of order so my last scene that I filmed wasn’t Simon’s last scene in the show, but he was in Roys Rolls saying goodbye to Carla.
‘My parents Debra and Paul had come in to watch the scene and the director kindly suggested that they could be background artists in the cafe. So there I was discussing Simon’s mum and dad with Carla whilst my own mum and dad were sitting at a table behind me having a coffee, how surreal! It was so special for them and me.
‘My mum was my chaperone when I first started and both of them have been so supportive of me throughout my time on Corrie so it was a real moment for us all that they are in one of my final scenes.’
As his time on the ITV soap came to an end, Alex reflected on his very first memory of the show, and how Deirdre Barlow star Anne Kirkbride inspired him.
‘I was only six when I started but I remember doing the scene with Chris where we are getting out of the taxi and he says let’s go in and give them the shock of their lives. My first word was “tired”.
At that age you don’t realise the enormity of what it means to be joining one of the longest running shows in the world and be part of the family that were in the first episode in 1960. Obviously I came to appreciate that as I got older and also to have the privilege of working with some amazing actors.
‘I remember my first scene with Anne Kirkbride, she was so kind and helpful, she looked at me after the scene and said ‘you will go far’. That has always stayed with me.’ | 2024-06-02T20:00:00+01:00 | true |

Und der bedankt sich mit Worten.
Madrid - Die Fan-Massen zu seinen Füßen riefen „Toni, Toni, Toni“ und der deutsche Mittelfeldstar von Real Madrid ließ sich nicht lange bitten.
Aufgefordert von Mitspieler Daniel Carvajal griff Toni Kroos zum Mikrofon auf dem Balkon der Casa de Correos beim rauschenden Empfang der Champions-League-Helden und begrüßte brüllend die „Madridistas. Vielen Dank für zehn unvergessliche Jahre, mir fehlen die Worte“, sagte der 34 Jahre alte Fußball-Nationalspieler.
Im siegreichen Finale der Champions League am Abend vorher in London gegen Borussia Dortmund hatte er das letzte Mal das Trikot der Königlichen in einem Spiel getragen. Zehn Jahre spielte er für den Rekordgewinner der europäischen Meisterklasse und die Fans riefen ihm auf der proppenvollen Puerta del Sol zu: „Toni, bleib.“ Nach der Heim-EM wird Kroos seine so ruhmreiche Karriere aber beenden.
Rüdiger, „der Verrückte“
Schon vorher bei der Rede im Rathaus von Florentino Pérez hatte Kroos einen Sonderapplaus bekommen, als der Vereinsboss herzliche Worte an seinen deutschen Mittelfeldstrategen gerichtet hatte. Zunächst mit einem Daumenhoch bedankte sich Kroos, dann stand er doch noch auf und ließ sich feiern, ehe es auf den Balkon ging und er anschließend nach entsprechenden Rufen der Fans das Mikrofon an Landsmann Antonio Rüdiger - Spitzname „El Loco“ (deutsch: der Verrückte) - weiterreichte. „Der Verrückte ist sehr müde“, meinte der Abwehrspieler: „Nur ein Scherz! Ich bin hier, der Verrückte.“
Schon weit vor der ganz großen Fiesta am Abend mit den Realfans am berühmten Brunnen Cibeles versammelten sich die Massen und feierten sich und die Königlichen bei herrlichem Sommerwetter. „Ich sage immer, dass dieser Verein etwas Besonderes ist“, betonte Jude Bellingham beim vereinseigenen Sender Real Madrid TV. Das 2:0 am Samstagabend gegen seinen ehemaligen Club sei ein weiteres Beispiel dafür gewesen, auch für die Fans, sagte er.
Eskorte mit weißen Pferden
Bevor die Party richtig startete, ging es für die Mannschaft und die Trainer im feinen Zwirn auch in die Catedral de Santa María la Real de la Almudena. Immer mit dabei: der Henkelpott, die begehrteste Trophäe im europäischen Vereinsfußball.
Im weißen Bus, eskortiert von Polizisten auf weißen Pferden, wurden die Stars im Schritttempo vorbei an Fans zum nächsten Feierort gebracht. Auch dort Fans so weit das Auge reichte, begrüßt wurde das Team um Erfolgscoach Carlo Ancelotti dort von Isabel Díaz Ayuso, Präsidentin der Regionalregierung der Autonomen Gemeinschaft Madrid, ehe es vom Balkon und einer weiteren Station zum berühmten Cibeles-Brunnen ging. | 2024-06-02T19:36:00+01:00 | true |

Am Sonntag stimmen Volk und Stände über die Volksinitiative «Maximal 10 Prozent des Einkommens für die Krankenkassenprämien (Prämien-Entlastungs-Initiative)» der SP ab.
Die Vorlage fordert eine Deckelung der Prämien und darüber hinaus Prämienverbilligungen, die der Bund zu zwei Dritteln und die Kantone zu einem Drittel finanzieren sollen.
Laut SRG-Umfrage von Mitte Mai wird ein enges Rennen erwartet.
Alle Menschen in der Schweiz erhalten die medizinischen Behandlungen, die sie benötigen. Die Kosten dafür übernimmt die obligatorische Krankenversicherung. Während bei allen anderen Sozialversicherungen die Prämien entweder über Steuern oder einkommensabhängige Beiträge solidarisch finanziert werden, ist das bei den Krankenkassenprämien nicht der Fall. Ein Bankmanager zahlt die gleiche Prämie wie eine Putzkraft. Dies möchte die Prämien-Entlastungs-Initiative ändern.
Wird die Vorlage abgelehnt, tritt ein Gegenvorschlag von Bundesrat und Parlament in Kraft. Dieser beinhaltet keine Deckelung, fordert die Kantone allerdings auf, einen Mindestbeitrag zur Prämienverbilligung zu leisten – 3.5 bis 7.5 Prozent der Grundversicherungskosten.
Das sagt die Ja-Seite
Die Befürworter argumentieren, dass die Krankenkassenprämien in den letzten Jahren sehr deutlicher angestiegen sind – die Löhne und Renten gleichzeitig aber kaum.
Demnach würden mit den gedeckelten Prämien nicht nur Personen mit tiefen Löhnen, sondern auch Familien, Rentnerpaare und Personen mit durchschnittlichen Einkommen unterstützt. Die Initiative erhöhe schliesslich den Druck auf die Politik, bei Lobbyisten genau hinzuschauen und schütze die Versicherten vor der «Gier der Medizinkonzerne».
Das sagt die Nein-Seite
Die Initiative führt laut Gegnerschaft jährlich zu Mehrkosten in Milliardenhöhe. Dies könnte zu einer Erhöhung der Mehrwertsteuer sowie steigenden kantonalen Steuern führen.
Zudem fehle bei der Vorlage ein Anreiz zur Dämpfung der Gesundheitskosten – eine «reine Symptombekämpfung». Der indirekte Gegenvorschlag verstärke wiederum ebenfalls die Prämienverbilligung und setze auf einen kostendämpfenden Anreiz.
Bundesrat und Parlament empfehlen die Volksinitiative zur Ablehnung.
Umfrage zeigt Pattsituation
Wäre im Mai abgestimmt worden, hätten sich laut der zweiten SRG-Umfrage zur Abstimmung die Hälfte der Befragten für die Prämien-Entlastungs-Initiative ausgesprochen. Im April wären es noch 56 Prozent gewesen.
«Alles kann entscheidend sein in einer solchen Pattsituation», so Lukas Golder Politikwissenschaftler des Forschungsinstitutes GFS Bern. Klar ist: Durch das benötigte Ständemehr und eines Nein-Trends in den deutschsprachigen Kantonen ist die Hürde hoch. | 2024-06-09T08:02:00+01:00 | true |

Das Gesetz soll die Grundlagen schaffen, damit in der Schweiz rasch mehr Strom aus erneuerbaren Energiequellen produziert werden kann.
Gegen die Vorlage wurde das Referendum ergriffen.
Knapp 53 Prozent des in der Schweiz produzierten Stroms kamen 2022 von Wasserkraftanlagen, gut 36 Prozent von Atomkraftwerken, etwa drei Prozent aus thermischen Kraftwerken und 7.7 Prozent wurden mit verschiedenen erneuerbaren Energien hergestellt. Das Ziel der Vorlage: Die Schweiz soll mehr Strom aus einheimischen erneuerbaren Quellen gewinnen, die Stromversorgung im Winter stärken und die Abhängigkeit vom Ausland verringern. In geeigneten Gebieten soll es für bestimmte, besonders wichtige Windkraft- und Solarenergieanlagen erleichterte Planungsbedingungen geben.
Das sagt die Ja-Seite
Exponentinnen und Exponenten der sechs grössten Parteien, Wirtschafts- und Umweltverbände sowie Bundesrat und Parlament empfehlen ein Ja zur Vorlage. Eine sichere und bezahlbare Stromversorgung sei Grundlage der hohen Lebensqualität und des Wohlstands in der Schweiz, argumentieren sie.
Demnach könne auch nur mehr einheimischer Strom den steigenden Strombedarf rasch decken, und dies erst noch mit Rücksicht auf Natur, Landschaft und Landwirtschaft. Schliesslich könne die Schweiz das Netto-Null-Ziel bis 2050 einzig erreichen, wenn sie sich von fossilen Energieträgern verabschiede.
Das sagt die Nein-Seite
Unter anderem der Verband Freie Landschaft Schweiz, die Fondation Franz Weber und grosse Teile der SVP bekämpfen den Mantelerlass. Die Energiewende dürfe nicht auf Kosten von Natur und Landschaft gehen, argumentieren sie.
Die Gegnerschaft befürchtet zudem den Verlust von Mitspracherechten bei der Planung grosser Anlagen. Ihrer Ansicht nach müsse vor dem Bau von Grossanlagen das Potenzial von Sonnenenergie auf Gebäuden und Infrastruktur ausgeschöpft werden.
Umfrage zeigt komfortablen Ja-Vorsprung
In der zweiten SRG-Umfrage lag der Ja-Stimmen-Anteil unter den Befragten rund drei Wochen vor der Abstimmung bei 73 Prozent. Einigkeit gibt es insbesondere beim Argument, dass das Stromversorgungsgesetz ein unerlässlicher Schritt für die Energiewende sei. | 2024-06-09T08:03:00+01:00 | true |

Doch an diesem vermeintlich unpersönlichen Ort gibt es auch Menschen, die Wurzeln geschlagen haben.
Manchmal staut es nicht nur vor dem Gotthardtunnel, sondern auch vor den Toiletten der Gotthard-Raststätte. In der Hochsaison nutzen täglich bis zu 8000 Menschen hier eines der 23 WCs oder 10 Pissoirs. Damit diese immer sauber sind, dafür ist Sarra Bouraoui zuständig. Seit zehn Jahren putzt sie hier die Toiletten.
Ich mache diese Arbeit hier gerne, es ist fast wie mein Zuhause.
Die Raststätte ist für sie mehr als nur ein Arbeitgeber: Vor 10 Jahren kam die gebürtige Tunesierin mit ihrer Familie von Italien in die Schweiz. «Das erst Jahr war schwierig, vor allem wegen der Sprache. Ich war viel zu Hause und allein. Aber durch die Arbeit hier fand ich Anschluss und lernte die Sprache», erzählt sie stolz. «Ich mache diese Arbeit hier gerne, es ist fast wie mein Zuhause.»
Noch stolzer macht sie, dass unterdessen auch ihre beiden Töchter hier auf der Raststätte arbeiten. Beide arbeiten als Betriebsassistentinnen und führen ein kleines Team. Oder, wie die stolze Mama sagt: «Sie sind Chefinnen.»
Wurzeln schlagen, wo andere nur durchfahren
Für Sarra und ihre Familie ist die Raststätte vor dem Gotthardtunnel ein wichtiger Ort im Leben: einer, der ihnen Halt gibt.
Ganz im Gegensatz zu den Gästen: Die verbringen hier im Durchschnitt nur 25 Minuten. 1.65 Millionen Besucher verzeichnete die Raststätte im Jahr 2023.
Wenn ich heute einen Lastwagen sehe, dann erinnert mich das an Griechenland und an meine Flucht.
Rund 120 Mitarbeiter aus 14 Nationen arbeiten auf der Gotthard-Raststätte. Nabizada Shafiullah flüchtete im Jahr 2016 aus Afghanistan in die Schweiz. Seit drei Jahren arbeitet Schafi, wie sie ihn hier nennen, in der Küche der Raststätte.
Seine Fluchtroute führte ihn von Afghanistan nach Griechenland. Um dann von dort weiter nach Italien zu kommen, klammerte er sich 18 Stunden lang unter einen Lastwagen. Jetzt arbeitet er an einem Ort, an dem täglich zig Lastwagen vorbeidonnern und wo sich die Menschen aus dem Alltag in die Ferien im Süden flüchten. «Wenn ich heute einen Lastwagen sehe, dann erinnert mich das an Griechenland und an meine Flucht», erzählt Nabizada.
Vom Brummen …
An über 100 Tagen hat es Stau vor dem Gotthardtunnel. Besonders an den Feiertagen im Frühling und in den Sommermonaten ist das Verkehrsaufkommen hoch – manchmal auch zulasten der Anwohner der Autobahn. Dann nämlich, wenn die Automobilisten versuchen, den Stau zu umfahren und auf die Kantonsstrasse ausweichen.
… zum Summen
In einem Teilzeitpensum arbeitet Judith Amstad im Shop auf der Raststätte. Daneben haben sie und ihr Mann noch eine Bergimkerei.
Mein Herz schlägt für die Natur und die Berge. Ich schätze aber auch den Menschenkontakt auf der Raststätte.
So wird bei ihr Zuhause, auf 1000 Meter über dem Meer, aus dem Brummen der Autos ein Summen der Bienen: zwei Welten, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten. Für Judith ergänzen sich ihre Berufe aber gut: «Mein Herz schlägt für die Natur und die Berge. Ich schätze aber auch den Menschenkontakt auf der Raststätte.»
Dass der Kanton Uri oft nur auf die Autobahn und den Gotthard beschränkt wird, das findet Judith schade. «Wir haben viel mehr zu bieten», sagt Judith.
Dies gilt wohl auch für die Raststätte. Denn so entpuppt sich der vermeintlich unpersönliche Ort, an dem Menschen nur vorbeiziehen, als ein Ort, an dem Menschen mit Freude und Stolz arbeiten und Wurzeln schlagen. | 2024-06-09T08:04:00+01:00 | true |

Knapp zwei Wochen vor dem Start der Copa America hat Turniergastgeber USA ein Debakel erlebt. Das Team von Nationaltrainer Gregg Berhalter verlor gegen Kolumbien 1:5. Rafael Borre gelang für die Südamerikaner in der 19. Minute per Fallrückzieher das spektakulärste Tor.
Die weiteren Treffer für Kolumbien erzielten Jhon Arias (6.), Richard Rios (77.), Jorge Carrascal (85.) und Luis Sinisterra (88.). Die USA konnten dank Timothy Weah (58.) zwischenzeitlich verkürzen. «Ich bin natürlich wirklich enttäuscht», sagte Berhalter: «Ab der 75. Minute war es meiner Meinung nach ein Mangel an Respekt vor unserem Gegner, dem Fussballspiel und dem, was wir tun.»
Brasilien jubelt dank Endrick
Beim 3:2-Sieg von Brasilien gegen Mexiko in Texas war der 17-jährige Endrick der Matchwinner. Der Youngster erzielte in der 6. Minute der Nachspielzeit per Kopf den Siegtreffer.
Am Mittwoch kommt es in Orlando zum direkten Vergleich zwischen den USA und Brasilien, bevor am 20.6. Titelverteidiger Argentinien gegen Kanada das erweiterte Südamerika-Turnier eröffnet. | 2024-06-09T08:29:00+01:00 | true |

Bester Schweizer bei den Männern ist Matthias Kyburz.
Die Titel gehen nach Italien und Dänemark.
Bei Rennhälfte hatte Fabienne Schlumpf nur 9 Sekunden Rückstand auf die Spitze. Nach einer Tempoverschärfung der Spitzenläuferinnen büsste sie auf den folgenden 5 Kilometern 20 Sekunden ein. Letztlich waren es 1:52 Minuten Rückstand auf Siegerin Karoline Bjerkeli Grövdal (DEN).
Erheblich grösser war der Einbruch von Helen Bekele, die sich zunächst in der Spitzengruppe hielt, zwischen Kilometer 15 und 19 aber zwei Minuten verlor. In der Endabrechnung schaute Platz 22 heraus (+3:27).
Grövdal führte die Entscheidung um Gold mit einem unwiderstehlichen Antritt bereits auf dem letzten Kilometer vor dem Einlauf ins Stadio Olimpico herbei. Ihre Siegerinnenzeit lag bei 1:08:09 Stunden. Silber ging an Joan Chelimo Melly (ROU), Bronze an Calli Gauger-Thackery (GBR).
Kyburz lange gut dabei
Im Männerrennen hielt sich Matthias Kyburz eine Weile unmittelbar hinter der Spitzengruppe, ehe er abreissen lassen musste. Letztlich belegte der 34-Jährige Platz 21. Er büsste 2:04 Minuten auf Sieger Yemaneberhan Crippa (ITA) ein, darf mit seinem Auftritt, der zur Olympia-Vorbereitung diente, aber zufrieden sein.
Die weiteren Schweizer verloren mehr Zeit. Tadesse Abraham wurde mit 3:50 Minuten Rückstand 36., Patrik Wägeli 47. (+5:00). Julien Wanders gab auf.
Vorne sprinteten vier Läufer um die drei Medaillen. Italien feierte dank Crippa (1:01:03 Stunden) und Pietro Riva einen Doppelsieg. Bronze ging an Amanal Petros (GER).
Italiener und Britinnen siegen
In den Teamwertungen setzte sich bei den Männern Italien vor Israel und Spanien durch. Die Schweiz kam auf Platz 8. Die Wertung bei den Frauen gewann Grossbritannien vor Deutschland und Spanien. | 2024-06-09T09:24:00+01:00 | true |

Last month, Daniel Radcliffe was holding back tears as he thanked his girlfriend for his first Tony award. The Harry Potter star won the gong for his performance in the Broadway musical Merrily We Roll Along, but who is his mysterious partner?
During his acceptance speech, Daniel gushed: "My love, Erin, you and our son are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love you so much. Thank you so much."
The 35-year-old has been dating Erin Darke since they played a couple in the 2013 drama Kill Your Darlings. The pair have kept their relationship relatively private for over a decade and last April, she gave birth to their son.
We do know that the duo live together in New York. Erin has acted in films such as Still Alice, Love & Mercy and on the television side, she's starred in The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel.
In a 2015 interview, Daniel opened up about the moment he started to fall in love with Erin. He recalled: "There’s no acting going on—not from my end, anyway.
"There’s a moment when she makes me laugh, and I’m laughing as me and not as my character. She was incredibly funny and smart. I knew I was in trouble."
While the couple don't make regular appearances on the red carpet, Daniel has never shied away from professing his adoration for Erin.
In 2014, he told Us Weekly: " I think that’s the kind of relationship I always aspire to have with someone I’m in a relationship with. You want that person to be your best friend,” he explained. “In the case of Erin, we definitely are."
Six years later, Daniel opened up about how strong his relationship is. He said to Radio Times: " I grew up doing lots of things where I thought, ‘This is super nerdy. I’ll never be able to do this around a girl.’"
He added: "But that’s the wonderful thing about the moment you find the relationship you’re meant to be in. It’s like, ‘Oh, I can do all of that stuff and you don’t mind. And you actually think it’s fun, too. This is fantastic!'"
There are currently no wedding plans for the couple. Erin told Vulture in 2020: “You do start to dismiss things you read about your partner if you’re pretty sure they’re not true.
"I spent a week once having to text all my family members being like, ‘I promise if I’m getting married, you will find out from me and not Us Weekly.'" | 2024-07-23T08:00:00+01:00 | true |

Mit vier Podestplätzen am «Super Saturday» von Swiss Athletics sind an der EM in Rom die Erwartungen übertroffen worden. Das sind die Reaktionen des Quartetts:
Ehammer: «Silber wäre möglich gewesen»
Der Gewinn einer Medaille am Grossanlass ist nie ein Selbstläufer. Bei Simon Ehammer und Ditaji Kambundji hingegen war die Ausgangslage derart vielversprechend, dass das Podium dem Minimalziel gleichkam. «Ich darf nicht jammern. Wieder über 8,30 m», kommentierte Ehammer die Bronzemedaille im Weitsprung.
Nach dem Paukenschlag in der Qualifikation hatte er im Vorfeld noch vom Schweizer Rekord (8,45) und höheren Ambitionen gesprochen. Die Anmerkung, in Anbetracht der Leistungen von Miltiadis Tentoglou und Mattia Furlani habe er Bronze gewonnen statt Silber oder Gold verloren, wollte er nicht ganz gelten lassen. «Der Sprung auf 8,31 m war technisch nicht perfekt, ich kriegte Vorlage in der Luft. Silber wäre möglich gewesen, aber Miltiadis war zu stark.»
Kambundji: «Ich bin zufrieden»
Das angesprochene Optimum holte Ditaji Kambundji über 100 m Hürden heraus. Trotz Schweizer Rekord in 12,40 Sekunden lag die Französin Cyréna Samba-Mayela (12,31) ausser Reichweite. «Man arbeitet sich hoch», witzelte die EM-Dritte von München 2022 über Platz 2. «Die Form ist da, die Zeit ist da. Ich bin zufrieden mit Silber», betonte sie. Den mässigen Auftritt im Halbfinal, der ihr im Endlauf die Aussenbahn 8 bescherte, kommentierte sie mit den Worten: «Für eine Medaille muss man nur einmal schnell laufen.»
Joseph: «Die Siegerzeit hätte ich drauf»
Kambundjis Aussage widerlegte Jason Joseph, der wenig später über 110 m Hürden in 13,43 Sekunden – er senkte vergangenen September den Schweizer Rekord auf 13,07 – Bronze gewann. «Diese Zeit müsste ich in Jeans und Turnschuhen laufen», meinte er. «Letztlich ist es eine Medaille. Ich will zufrieden sein. Aber die Siegerzeit hätte ich auch drauf.» Joseph musste im Vorfeld der EM ein paar Wochen pausieren und bestritt am Samstagabend erst den zweiten Wettkampf-Tag der Saison.
Lobalu: «Ich kann nur danken»
Ehammer hatte am frühen Samstagabend die Schweiz in den Medaillenspiegel gebracht und prognostizierte noch zwei weitere Einträge. Dominic Lobalu sorgte dafür, dass dieser Tipp zu tief angesetzt war. Immer noch in der Schweizer Fahne eingehüllt erschien er zum Medientreff im Bauch des Olympiastadions.
«Ich kann nur danken. Dem Trainer für fünf Jahre Arbeit und der Schweiz, meinem neuen Land», betonte der 25-Jährige. Der im Südsudan geborene Läufer hatte er vor ein paar Wochen die Freigabe für die EM erhalten. «Ich wollte alles geben, zeigen was ich kann. Und das habe ich geschafft.» | 2024-06-09T08:57:00+01:00 | true |

The 60-year-old performed shortened versions of three songs in a six-minute performance before Real Madrid took on Borussia Dortmund in the widely watched game.
The singer played a couple of his biggest hits for football fans, including Fly Again and Are you Gonna Go My Way.
He also played Human from his brand new album, Blue Electric Light, which came out on May 24.
According to tournament reps, over 100million fans tuned in from across the world to see the rock icon’s performance, with approximately 90,000 of those in the stadium.
Wembley was already full of electric energy when Kravitz began his performance, leading some fans to question if the set really added anything to the event.
X user @tariqpanja posted: ‘Nothing against Lenny Kravitz but he’s just silenced the Yellow Wall which was in full footballing voice. Hard for organisers but the music acts really kill the football moment.’
@philmcnulty agreed, writing: ‘Borussia Dortmund fans were creating a brilliant pre-match atmosphere of their own and now they have been silenced by a deafening Lenny Kravitz medley. Let the fans create and enjoy the atmosphere.’
@fullstopPicks was clearly irritated by the performance, writing: ‘Absolutely 0 need for a whole ass concert in the lead up to the biggest game in club football lol’
The discourse comes among calls from many to stop trying to add additional commercial appeal to football games. While American sports like American Football (NFL) have always included musical acts and other flashy additions, like cheerleaders, many think that football should remain purely about the sport.
Following his Champions League final appearance, Kravitz will embark on a summer European arena and festival tour, beginning June 23 at Sporthalle in Hamburg, Germany.
He’ll also play his new songs for U.S. audiences at his Blue Electric Light Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, which is scheduled for October 18-19, 23, 25, and 26. | 2024-06-02T19:28:33+01:00 | true |
