Fernando Alonso says 'racing is my life' as he and Lance Stroll extend their Aston Martin contracts, leaving four seats to fill on the 2027 grid.

Ferrari confirm they have faith in Team Principal Fred Vasseur after Christian Horner named the Scuderia his 'dream' destination.

Audi CEO Mattia Binotto has made no secret of his plans for Freddie Slater, stating in Azerbaijan that he wants the youngster “into an F1 seat” in the near future.

The current El Nino has already surpassed the highest Pacific temperature anomaly recorded in the modern era, reaching 3.05C above the 1991-2020 average months before its expected peak. The commonly used ONI measure is also on the verge of breaking the 2015 record. Forecasts cited by The Guardian suggest the event could reach about 4.0C later this year. From the report: The latest data shows the temperature rise at the heart of El Nino in the Pacific Ocean has now reached 3.05C. That is higher than the 3.02C set in late November 2015, the previous high set in the 150 years of modern records. This temperature is measured against the average of 1991-2020. The preferred measure of most meteorologists uses a 30-year rolling average as a reference and so takes account of human-caused global heating. This metric, called ONI (Nino3.4), is on the brink of breaking the record, just one-hundredth of a degree below the 2015 record. Both metrics are underpinned by data from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The most recent forecasts predict a peak of 4.0C in November and December, according to the average of 14 different models assessed by climate scientist Zeke Hausfather. That is a level so far above previous events that Hausfather called it "mind-blowing," while others have described it as "Godzilla-level." Any temperature rise above 0.5C is deemed an El Nino; above 2C is officially called a "very strong" El Nino -- often referred to as a "super" El Nino. The current El Nino is likely to be the largest in at least 1,000 years and will pile extra heat into an atmosphere in which temperatures are already rising rapidly due to human-caused global heating. This double whammy means 2027 is expected to "blow apart" previous records and become the hottest year ever recorded.

MADRID (ANP/RTR/AFP) - De Spaanse regering wil huurders beter beschermen tegen de huizencrisis in het land. De regering wil daarom huurcontracten automatisch laten verlengen en een verbod op huisuitzettingen invoeren. Dit meldt gezondheidsminister Mónica García. Door het gefragmenteerde Spaanse parlement is het nog de vraag of de minderheidscoalitie voldoende steun kan krijgen voor de maatregelen.

Afgelopen week zijn tienduizenden mensen in verschillende Spaanse steden de straat opgegaan voor verschillende hervormingen, waaronder een huurbevriezing.

De protesten werden aangewakkerd door een uithuiszetting van de 87-jarige Maricarmen Abascal. Na een enorme huurverhoging kon de vrouw haar huur niet meer betalen.

Het bedrijf dat eigenaar is van Abascals appartement deed maandag een aanbod waarin de vrouw weer ongeveer hetzelfde bedrag zou betalen als voor de huurverhoging. De vrouw overweegt volgens haar advocaat of ze op het aanbod ingaat.

AMSTERDAM (ANP) - De Amsterdamse burgemeester Femke Halsema heeft afgelopen juni een brief geschreven aan rapper Ye, waarin zij hem opriep zich met respect te gedragen tegen Amsterdammers en Joodse Amsterdammers in het bijzonder. In de brief, die is ingezien door het ANP, schrijft Halsema ook dat zij de rapper het liefst uit de stad had geweerd.

"Veel Amsterdammers, waaronder ikzelf, hebben met afschuw kennisgenomen van de antisemitische, pronazistische en haatdragende uitspraken die u de afgelopen jaren herhaaldelijk hebt gedaan", schreef Halsema onder meer aan de Amerikaanse rapper. "Ik zou u liever uit onze stad weren", vervolgde Halsema in de Engelstalige brief.

Ye, voorheen bekend als Kanye West, verbleef in Amsterdam rond zijn optredens in Arnhem in juni. Zijn concerten in Nederland leidden dit jaar tot veel ophef vanwege de antisemitische uitspraken die hij in het verleden heeft gedaan. Zo noemde Ye zichzelf ooit een nazi en bracht hij een nummer Heil Hitler uit.

Ministers from Viktor Orbán’s former far-right government arrested after MPs vote to lift their immunity

Two ministers in Viktor Orbán’s former far-right government suspected separately of misusing millions of euros of public funds and taking millions more in bribes have been detained, hours after Hungarian MPs voted to lift their immunity.

Prosecutors said on Tuesday that Balázs Hankó, Orbán’s culture minister and still an MP in the former prime minister’s nationalist Fidesz party, was ​taken into custody late on Monday. Hankó is suspected of misappropriation of funds. He has denied any wrongdoing.
