KRAKAU (ANP/AFP) - Alles wijst erop dat de schutter die zaterdagmiddag zes mensen doodde bij een schietpartij in het stadscentrum van de Poolse stad Krakau "gefascineerd was door extreemrechtse ideologieën". Dat heeft de Poolse minister van Binnenlandse Zaken, Marcin Kierwinski, verklaard.
"Alles wijst erop dat de dader zeer, zeer radicale opvattingen had. In de auto waarin hij reed, werden meerdere wapens aangetroffen", aldus Kierwinski.
Door de schietpartij kwamen vier vrouwen en twee mannen om het leven. Vijf van de dodelijke slachtoffers hebben de Poolse nationaliteit. Het zesde slachtoffer kwam uit een ander land. Ook liggen nog zestien gewonden in het ziekenhuis. Onder hen zijn volgens Kierwinski vijf buitenlanders.
Eerder werd al bekend dat de schutter alleen handelde. Het gaat om een 24-jarige man met de Poolse nationaliteit. De man raakte zelf ook gewond toen hij na de schietpartij probeerde te ontkomen. Hij is naar het ziekenhuis overgebracht.
INDIAN WELLS (ANP) - Tennisster Elena Rybakina, de nummer 1 van de wereld, heeft zich teruggetrokken van het deelnemersveld van de WTA Finals. Dat heeft de WTA zaterdag bekendgemaakt namens de 27-jarige Kazakse. Het slottoernooi van het tennisseizoen begint zondag in het Amerikaanse Indian Wells en duurt tot en met 15 november.
"Ik heb een geweldig seizoen gehad maar mijn lichaam is er fysiek niet toe in staat om deel te nemen", aldus Rybakina. "Ik ga thuis herstellen en mezelf klaarmaken voor het seizoen van 2027." Vorig seizoen won Rybakina de WTA Finals.
De Oekraïense Marta Kostjoek vervangt Rybakina op de WTA Finals. De andere deelnemers zijn Aryna Sabalenka, Mirra Andrejeva, Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Elina Svitolina, Karolína Muchová en Linda Nosková.
KRAKAU (ANP/RTR) - In de woning van de schutter die zaterdagmiddag zes mensen doodde in het centrum van de Poolse stad Krakau zijn de lichamen van drie overleden personen aangetroffen, maakte de Poolse premier Donald Tusk zaterdagavond bekend.
Het gaat om twee vrouwen en een man. Vermoedelijk zijn het familieleden van de verdachte, aldus de premier.
Eerder werd bekend dat alles erop wijst dat de vermoedelijke schutter, een 24-jarige man met de Poolse nationaliteit, gefascineerd was door extreemrechtse ideologieën. Hij zou alleen hebben gehandeld.

Door de ontkerkelijking dreigen tal van eeuwenoude orgels te verwaarlozen. ‘Orgelmentoren’ proberen dat te voorkomen, zoals Anno Bos (70) in de Grote Kerk van Schermerhorn en het Zwarte Kerkje in Zuidschermer. Hij stemt pijpen en smeert de ventielnippel van de motor met zuurvrije olie. „Het is vrij donker hier. Ik zet een mijnwerkerslampje op.”

"I didn't think a rock like this existed on Earth," a geologist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Texas told the Washington Post. It looks like a polished rock, dark brown with a clay-colored stripe — but it's actually one of the oldest Mars meteorites ever found, blasted by an impact from the surface of Mars billions of years ago:
Technically speaking it's a collection of eight rock fragments, the largest of which is about the size of a fist. Nearly two pounds of the meteorite was discovered in the Sahara in Mali in 2022, and most is now held by a museum in Maine. Within two years, an initial examination determined the meteorite hailed from Mars; scientists are now finally digging deeper, with stunning results.
It offers records of "interactions of water and rock and maybe even an imprint of the Martian atmosphere as it was losing water," says Lee Saper, co-author of a new paper recently published in Science. "It was only after we started looking closely that we realized this meteorite is really unique," said Yang Liu of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, the lead author of a new paper published in Science. "One of the paper's reviewers called it a Rosetta Stone for Mars."
Its mix of minerals "tells a story about how the planet's crust formed from cooling magma before it was eventually altered by subsurface water," NASA's JPL says in an announcement.
The Washington Post reports:
The story begins 4.1 billion years ago, when crystals of a mineral called zircon probably solidified out of molten magma on Mars. "That was a game changer," [said Yang Liu, a planetary scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California], since scientists can date zircon very precisely, and it has been rare in other Mars meteorites. The date immediately put the Teghaza meteorite on special footing, alongside only two other Mars rocks known to have formed by 4 billion years ago...
Perhaps most intriguingly, the researchers also saw signs that the rock had been exposed to water during its evolution, a find detailed in work published this summer in Science Advances.

Known for sophisticated musical style in band that played significant role in emerging 1970s punk rock movement
Richard Lloyd, known for his sophisticated musical style as a founding member and guitarist for the influential punk band Television, has died at the age of 75.
His family confirmed that Lloyd died Saturday morning at his home in Chattanooga, Tennessee. “His loving wife Sheila and his dog Willie Mays were with him at the end,” his family said in a statement to Rolling Stone.
Continue reading...Spaniard may feel some of Old Trafford’s allure when he goes there on Sunday but he is right in wanting to stay at the club with brighter prospects
On Sunday afternoon, shortly before 4.30, Unai Emery will leave the tunnel at Old Trafford and walk along the touchline towards the bench. Will he glance around the grand old stadium – faded and leaking though it may be in parts – and think that he could have a part in restoring the club to former glories? Will he look at the home bench and imagine himself sitting there – or perhaps more plausibly, scuttling up and down in front of it – as the first Manchester United manager since Sir Alex Ferguson to land a league title?
Perhaps not. Emery is, after all, in “advanced talks” to extend a contract at Villa that already runs to 2029. However frustrating he may find the habitual summer churn, he is good at managing it. He feels the right fit for Villa, and that is arguably the most important factor in determining success. Yet all elite managers share a robust self-belief and there is a paradoxical sense that the worse the situation gets at United, the more appealing the job becomes.
