Het gevoel van veiligheid van Joodse mensen is verder aangetast sinds de aanslagen op Joodse instellingen en 7 oktober 2023. NRC vroeg acht Nederlanders tussen de 15 en 66 jaar naar hun ervaringen. „Mijn dochters waren écht bang. Ze wilden dat ik de mezoeza van onze deur haalde.”

Disorder in Belfast, Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, the Ebola outbreak, and the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs in the NBA finals – the past seven days as captured by the world’s leading photojournalists

Last week, thousands of readers gathered for a literary festival in Kyiv, risking air raids to hear from writers. Four brutal years of war have not destroyed the appetite for writing, but fuelled it. Russia’s extensive and systematic attempts to destroy Ukrainian culture, and therefore identity, have rightly received widespread attention. Over 700 libraries were damaged or destroyed outright within the first three years of the full-scale invasion.
But that campaign has also spurred efforts to move away from Russian literature and the Russian-language titles that previously dominated the market. Ukrainian literature and publishing has flourished far beyond the powerful documentary accounts of war often awarded attention outside the country, with growing room for experimentation. Newer writing also attempts to bridge the gap between those on the frontline and those more safely at home.

Takamatsu non è Tokyo.
Quando si parla del Giappone, spesso si pensa alle stazioni affollate, alle luci dei grandi quartieri e alle strade piene di persone. Ma non tutto il Paese vive allo stesso ritmo.
Qui la sera arriva in modo diverso.
I locali sono aperti. Le lanterne sono accese. Qualcuno sta ancora mangiando o bevendo qualcosa prima di tornare a casa. Ma non c'è fretta.
Le biciclette restano parcheggiate davanti agli ingressi. Le strade rimangono percorribili. Il rumore lascia spazio alle conversazioni e alle attività quotidiane.
Domani si lavora.
Non serve fare troppo tardi.
Questa è una serata normale a Takamatsu.
Ed è proprio questo che mi piace.
日本と聞くと、多くの人は混雑した駅やネオン街、人であふれる通りを思い浮かべます。しかし、すべての街が同じ速さで動いているわけではありません。
ここでは、夜の訪れ方が少し違います。
店は開いています。提灯も灯っています。仕事帰りに食事や一杯を楽しむ人もいます。
それでも慌ただしさはありません。
店の前には自転車が並び、通りには十分な余裕があります。騒がしさよりも、日常の時間が流れています。
明日も仕事です。
だから無理に遅くまで起きている必要はありません。
これが高松の普通の夜です。
そして私は、そんな高松が好きです。
Takamatsu is not Tokyo.
When people think about Japan, they often imagine crowded stations, bright entertainment districts and busy streets. But not every city moves at the same pace.
Here, evening arrives differently.
The restaurants are open. The lanterns are lit. Someone is still having dinner or a drink before going home. But there is no rush.
Bicycles remain parked outside. The streets stay easy to walk through. Noise gives way to conversation and everyday life.
Tomorrow is another working day.
There is no need to stay out too late.
This is an ordinary evening in Takamatsu.
And that is exactly why I like it.

Joe “Handyman” Negri, a Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood fixture, has died at age 99. “He really was like the friendly fellow you might find walking around a neighborhood. He was just incredibly gentle as a person, but also as a musician.”
BRUSSEL (ANP/AFP) - De Europese Unie gaat luchtvaartmaatschappijen verbieden om ouders extra te laten betalen voor een stoel naast hun kind. Dat melden diplomaten aan persbureau AFP. Dit is het resultaat van een EU-hervorming van de passagiersrechten, die vrijdag is overeengekomen.
Eerder deze week werd bekend dat de Britse mededingingsautoriteit een onderzoek was gestart naar Ryanair vanwege verplichte kosten die ouders moesten betalen om bij hun kinderen te kunnen zitten. Ryanair eist namelijk dat minstens één ouder tijdens een vlucht naast kinderen in de leeftijd van twee tot elf jaar zit. Daar moet dan een "verplichte familiestoel" voor gereserveerd worden. Volgens de Britse waakhond zouden die kosten mogelijk oneerlijk zijn onder de consumentenwetgeving.
