Tata Steel is een van de grootste uitstoters van broeikasgassen in Nederland. Pols, meer dan tien jaar directeur van Milieudefensie, wil zijn ervaring „mee naar binnen” nemen. Milieudefensie heeft „geen begrip” voor zijn overstap.

Net als onder meer de NS gaat Albert Heijn bij wijze van proef de beveiligers in vier filialen uitrusten met bodycams. Wanneer mag deze camera worden ingezet en wat kun je met de beelden?

In totaal 185.454 eindexamenleerlingen preppen optimaal voor hun toetsen. Hoe doen ze dat? NRC leert een middag mee met vier scholieren. „Je probeert de stress bij jezelf te houden: we willen elkaar niet gek maken.”

Poolpionier Louwrens Hacquebord zette het Nederlandse poolonderzoek op de kaart. De Groningse emeritus-hoogleraar Arctische en Antarctische Studies overleed vorige week op 78-jarige leeftijd.

Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola have bought into Luis Enrique’s vision

By Get French Football News

Ousmane Dembélé grins when he says that, if he does not press, he will be benched by Luis Enrique. The Ballon d’Or winner does not do his defensive work under duress. Like the rest of his teammates, he seems to derive enjoyment from a part of the game that was once seen as unnatural. Attackers would attack and defenders would defend; simple rules for a simple game. But demands have changed.

The forward line of Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi and Neymar was a mouthwatering prospect but they failed to take Paris Saint-Germain close to a Champions League title and there was a lack of joy in their work. All attack and no defend made PSG a dull watch. There was a lesson in their failure: that football had changed and matches could not be won by the sheer weight of their attacking talent.

Veteran host says format may not last as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ends its 33-year run amid controversy

Ahead of the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS, former network late-night host David Letterman said that he would be “surprised” if other shows in that format last too much longer.

Letterman, 79, made the remark in an interview with the New York Times that was published on Tuesday, in which he also described his “disbelief” upon learning Colbert’s show had been cancelled.

The latest conspiracy theory involves the president’s son and a book written in the 19th century. It’s yet another distraction from the war on Iran, the rising cost of living and the Epstein files

Once upon a time there was a boy called Baron Trump, who was growing weary of his privileged life at Trump Castle. Then, one fateful day, Baron found an ancient manuscript by a wise old man called Don, which stated that, a long time ago, “terrible disturbances” on Earth had driven humans into underground bunkers, creating a “World Within a World”. Guided by Don’s manuscript, Baron sets off to Russia to discover the secrets of this hidden land.

Don’t worry, I’m not announcing a new career as a pro-Trump children’s author. I think FBI director Kash Patel, who wrote a series of terrible kids’ stories about a King Trump, has that covered. Rather, I’m summarising a book from the late 19th century called Baron Trump’s Marvellous Underground Journey by an American lawyer called Ingersoll Lockwood.

A federal judge also warned White House to tread carefully as it moves ahead with plans to revamp DC golf course

A federal judge weighed into a dispute over Donald Trump’s controversial plans to revamp a historic Washington DC golf course on Monday, warning the president’s administration to tread carefully as it also dumped “toxic” rubble from the demolished White House East Wing there.

District court judge Ana Reyes likened the saga to an episode of the hit television comedy Parks and Recreation during an emergency hearing in the capital to hear an application for a temporary restraining order filed by the DC Preservation League.

DELFT (ANP) - De Nederlandse producent van quantumprocessors QuantWare heeft 152 miljoen euro opgehaald bij een nieuwe financieringsronde. Met het geld wil QuantWare een grote fabriek in Delft bouwen voor de productie van quantumprocessors. Onder andere de durfkapitaaltak van de Amerikaanse chipproducent Intel en overheidsinvesteringsfonds Invest-NL steken geld in de scale-up uit die Zuid-Hollandse plaats.

Volgens QuantWare is dit de grootste particuliere financieringsronde door een quantumprocessorbedrijf. QuantWare, dat werd opgericht in 2021, ontwerpt en fabriceert die belangrijke onderdelen voor quantumcomputers. Dat zijn krachtige computers die complexe problemen veel sneller kunnen oplossen dan gewone.

QuantWare is naar eigen zeggen de grootste commerciële quantumprocessorleverancier ter wereld. De nieuwe productielocatie helpt het bedrijf te voldoen aan de sterke wereldwijde vraag naar zijn ultramoderne en krachtige processors. Met de fabriek kan het bedrijf zijn productie vertwintigvoudigen.
