XERACO (ANP) - Enric Mas, de nieuwe Spaanse leider in de Vuelta, heeft zaterdag bij de podiumceremonie geweigerd de rode leiderstrui aan te trekken. Hij nam de leiding over van Tadej Pogačar, die tijdens de achtste etappe hard ten val kwam en de koers moest verlaten. Voorafgaand aan de rit stond Mas 3.50 minuten achter de Sloveense wereldkampioen en leek de Vuelta al beslist.
"Ik weet dat dit sport is en wielrennen, maar Tadej is gevallen en ik heb de rode trui niet gewonnen, dus ik denk dat het een blijk van respect richting hem is om de trui nu niet aan te trekken", zei Mas in het flashinterview.
Het is nog niet duidelijk wat de ernst is van de blessure van Pogačar. Hij liep zelf de ambulance in met bloed op zijn lichaam en gezicht en leek pijn te hebben aan zijn linkerarm en schouder. Zijn ploegleider heeft de schouderpijn bevestigd, maar de ploeg heeft nog geen verdere medische updates gedeeld.
Op beelden die online rondgaan lijkt het dat Pogačar ten val kwam door een steen op de weg.
AMSTERDAM (ANP) - Net buiten station Amsterdam Centraal zijn zaterdagavond drie mensen neergestoken. Ze zijn gewond geraakt en naar een ziekenhuis gebracht. Hun toestand is niet bekend. De politie denkt dat het incident mogelijk te maken had met een eerdere vechtpartij. Onderzoek moet dat duidelijk maken.
Een verdachte raakte ook gewond en is naar een ziekenhuis gebracht. Daar is de persoon aangehouden.
De steekpartij gebeurde rond 19.30 uur op de De Ruijterkade, bij de uitgang van het station aan de kant van het IJ.

A new survey on police license plate cameras found that "more Americans oppose these surveillance cameras than support them," reports TechCrunch:
According to a new YouGov survey of 20,000 people across the U.S. that was shared exclusively with The Washington Post, 46% of respondents opposed the company's surveillance cameras in their communities, while 38% supported them. This is a reversal from last year, when the majority of survey respondents said they were in favor... The survey also reported that more respondents said the surveillance would not make them feel any safer.
TechCrunch reports that Flock CEO Garrett "faces a growing public outcry around concerns that Flock's surveillance cameras, drones, and license plate recognition technology could be misused." Responding to reports of police abusing Flock's system, Langley told CBS News " I don't think that Flock created police abuse. I think we're the first company to ever shine a light on it and build the tools to find it."
But Futurism notes that "a grand jury in Ohio declined to bring felony charges against a man accused of destroying a Flock camera earlier this month — perhaps the clearest sign yet of the country's overwhelming hatred for the surveillance gadgets." And Newsweek documents more of the backlash:
Flock Chief Executive Garrett Langley recently became the subject of a doxxing campaign after his home address was circulated online by opponents of the company's technology, underscoring how deeply divisive the issue has become.
TechCrunch reports Flock's CEO is now calling for new laws — at the state level — regulating not Flock's cameras but the police officers who use them:
Langley has said that state regulators should "pass bills that make [the illegal use of Flock data] a criminal offense." And during his Fox News interview, he pointed to the changes the company has already made, while also saying, "Today, it is too often that in Flock and in other technologies, there's no regulation. There's no accountability, and we think that's wrong."
But Flock has its supporters. One local police department used a 3D printer to create a fake "decoy" camera, then monitored it for five days until they arrested a Florida man for knocking it down.
404 Media suggests that because the man told officers he believed it was a camera worth between $1,000 and $5,000, he was charged with three felonies including "grand theft" and criminal mischief of property damage worth over $1,000, plus property crimes against computer equipment supplies.
Ironically, days earlier the City Council was already considering a resolution to end their city's use of Flock cameras altogether...

Bundesliga newcomers Elversberg began their first top-flight campaign in style, stunning Bayer Leverkusen with an impressive 3-2 home victory on Saturday.

Continue reading...Dit schijnt kleinkunst te zijn. Van mij mag je Alex Roeka ook een singer-songwriter noemen, of zanger-liedschrijver, want dat zal hij zelf waarschijnlijk prefereren. Hij vertelt tussendoor wel wat verhaaltjes op het podium, maar het draait toch vooral om de muziek en liedteksten. En er zijn ook ander grote zanger-liedschrijvers die ook de nodige aandacht besteden aan hun bindteksten. Tom Waits bijvoorbeeld, of Loudon Wainwright. Nou ja, Wikipedia rekent Boudewijn de Groot ook tot de kleinkunst, dus dan klopt het wel weer.
Bassist Reyer Zwart mag ook wel eens worden genoemd. Hij is sinds het begin de arrangeur van de muziek van Alex Roeka, en levert dus een belangrijke bijdrage aan de sfeer ervan. Hij zou ook wel eens de muzikant kunnen zijn die de afgelopen decennia het vaakst heeft opgetreden in allerlei radio- en tv-programma’s, gezien het grote aantal artiesten in wiens band hij speelt: van Freek de Jonge tot Daniël Lohues en van Lavinia Meijer tot Solo.
