De positie van Robin van Persie als trainer van Feyenoord is al lange tijd onderwerp van gesprek. Volgens sommige media hing de positie van Van Persie deze week aan een zijden draadje, iets dat door andere media weer ontkracht werd. Hoe zit het nu echt?
DEN HAAG (ANP) - Lokale partijen willen meer steun van het kabinet als het gaat om veiligheid, zeiden meerdere partijen tijdens het radiodebat van de NOS vrijdag. Zo laat de landelijke overheid de gemeente Den Haag, net als andere gemeenten, in de steek, betoogde Richard de Mos van Hart voor Den Haag toen het ging over criminaliteit in de stad en het tekort aan politieagenten.
Ook Max Kruijf van Lokaal Tilburg vindt dat de landelijke politiek hierin tekortschiet. "Vanuit gemeenten kun je investeren in handhaving, maar je kunt niet kiezen hoeveel politieagenten erbij komen. Dat moet echt vanuit Den Haag komen", zei hij na afloop van het debat.
Net als in Tilburg kampt ook Groningen met een gebrek aan politieagenten, ziet Yaneth Menger van Stadspartij 100% voor Groningen. "Wij hebben een enorm capaciteitstekort. En dat is landelijk beleid." Zij zoekt hierin naar steun van lokale fracties van landelijke partijen, aangezien zij volgens haar een kort lijntje hebben met de landelijke politici in Den Haag.
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Pitchfork: Earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Justice and Live Nation reached a settlement in the DOJ's antitrust lawsuit against the concert giant. During the trial, which lasted only a week, representatives for Live Nation had moved to exclude a collection of Slack direct messages from 2022 between two of the company's regional directors from the evidence presented to the jury. Bloomberg and a number of other publications have, as of today (March 12), successfully petitioned New York federal judge Arun Subramanian to release the chats.
The conversations are between Ben Baker, now head of ticketing for Venue Nation, and Jeff Weinhold, currently a senior director in the ticketing department. Baker and Weinhold joke about overcharging and price-gouging fans -- "Robbing them blind, baby," Baker brags in one exchange pertaining to a Kid Rock show in Tampa Bay -- as well as being able to raise prices on ancillary services such as parking seemingly at will. "These people are so stupid," Baker writes. "I almost feel bad taking advantage of them BAHAHAHAHAHA." Live Nation described the messages as "off-the-cuff banter, not policy, decision-making, or facts of consequence." In a statement the company has since added: "The Slack exchange from one junior staffer to a friend absolutely doesn't reflect our values or how we operate."
