Locoburgemeester Den Haag verbiedt mars 'Wij zijn het volk'

DEN HAAG (ANP) - Demonstranten die bij het Malieveld staan, mogen hun geplande mars door Den Haag niet beginnen. Dat heeft locoburgemeester Richard de Mos besloten. "Vanwege ordeverstoringen, geweld tegen de politie en de blijvende aanwezigheid van gezichtsbedekkende kleding heeft de locoburgemeester de aanwijzing gegeven dat de demonstratie 'Wij zijn het volk' alleen op het Malieveld plaatsvindt", aldus de gemeente Den Haag.

​Bram heeft dankzij nieuwste vetverbrander al 23 euro verloren

Het gaat Bram voor de wind sinds hij de nieuwste fatburner, ‘BurnItQuick’ heeft gekocht. Hij is in twee weken al 23 euro verloren.

“Ik heb al veel vetverbranders geprobeerd maar bij deze gaat het wel heel hard”, zegt Bram terwijl hij een hap van zijn cheeseburger neemt. “Ik ben zo blij met de vorderingen van moderne vetverbranders. Ik hoef amper meer te letten op mijn dieet om snel, veel geld kwijt te raken”.

Bram heeft als doel gesteld om in de komende twee weken nog 23 euro kwijt te raken.

Maga wants more babies. But they don’t seem too worried about miscarriages in ICE detention |

Officials lack data on miscarriages after October 2025. Detained women aren’t getting the prenatal healthcare they need

Maga men have babies on the brain. They may not all be interested in changing diapers or hands-on parenting, but they’re very keen on population growth. “[W]e want more babies, to put it very nicely,” Donald Trump said last year.

Trump, who has called himself the “father of IVF” and joked that he will be known as the “fertilization president”, surrounds himself with people who profess a similar fondness for children. Only a few days after being sworn in as vice-president, JD Vance declared he wanted “more babies in the United States of America” and went on to make pronatalist policies a theme of his time in office.

Brazil’s wind farms have been a huge success. So why isn’t everybody reaping the benefits?

While the country’s ambition is to be the ‘Saudi Arabia of green energy’, communities in the north-east are bearing the cost in diminished health and livelihoods

Beneath the power lines cutting across Antonio de Souza’s property in Serra do Mel, in north-east Brazil’s Rio Grande do Norte state, rows of cashew trees once stood – until the clean energy company ordered them to be cut down.

De Souza cannot plant crops in the affected area and the tractor cannot be driven through it in bad weather, as the driver risks an electric shock. Cattle, another source of local income, are forbidden from grazing near the cables.

Hunk – or ‘unc’? What magazine covers of Michael B Jordan and Tom Cruise tell us about manhood

Images of two actors on front of Vogue and GQ land at a time when masculinity is increasingly dominating headlines

Tom Cruise and Michael B Jordan share many similarities as box-office powerhouses known for their death-defying action hero stunts. But this week the two stars went head-to-head, or more accurately chest-to-chest, on magazine stands.

In one corner there’s 64-year-old Cruise on the cover of GQ, his first for the magazine in 20 years. Posing in an unbuttoned shirt, one hand running through his tousled hair, the other gripping his belt buckle, this is Cruise playing the role of sexy Cruise.

Once-in-a-lifetime discovery found in cave hidden beneath paddock

Once-in-a-lifetime discovery found in cave hidden beneath paddock. There are very few places on Earth that remain untouched and unseen by humans. For true explorers, the final frontier is not a distant speck in the sky, it is the underground realm beneath our feet. (Buchan, in East Gippsland, in Victoria, in Australia)
