カオスなバーの屋外席でビールを飲んでいた二人、本国では真面目そうな雰囲気を漂わせていました。
The two were drinking beer at an outdoor table in a chaotic bar, but they had an air about them that made me think they were probably quite serious in their home countries

DEN HAAG (ANP) - Het aantal mensen dat een universitaire lerarenopleiding volgt stijgt, blijkt uit cijfers van koepelorganisatie Universiteiten van Nederland (UNL). Voor het afgelopen collegejaar waren er 13,5 procent meer inschrijvingen dan het jaar ervoor. Het is volgens UNL het tweede jaar op rij dat er een "stevige toename" is, de jaren ervoor nam de instroom juist af.
Voor de opleiding tot leraar in het basisonderwijs is het aantal inschrijvingen met 12,9 procent gestegen; 568 mensen schreven zich voor het afgelopen jaar in. Voor het voortgezet onderwijs kwamen 2029 nieuwe inschrijvingen. De grootste toename zit in de eenjarige masters. Daar is het aantal inschrijvingen met 21,5 procent gestegen.
Met het huidige lerarentekort is dit "heel goed nieuws", zegt UNL-voorzitter Caspar van den Berg. "Universiteiten zijn de afgelopen jaren meer opleidingen gestart en hebben vol ingezet op de bekendheid van de universitaire lerarenopleidingen. Daar plukken we nu de vruchten van."
The Paramount-Warner Bros merger is being fought in the US and UK. Britain’s culture secretary knows the risks and can intervene. She should
Though it has yet to become front-page news in the UK, you should know about the proposed Paramount-Warner Bros merger. It threatens to inflict immense harm on the British public. As actors and public figures who have spent our careers in the arts in Britain – working with British crews, on British stages and sets – we have a responsibility to the public who support, enjoy and consume the art we make.
The UK is being threatened by a media merger that would harm our workers, our culture and the public – but we can stop it. We are encouraged by Lisa Nandy, the secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport, who recently sent letters to Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros Discovery, as well as a statement to parliament, indicating that she is “minded to intervene” in Paramount’s $110bn takeover of Warner Bros.

Reform UK’s plan to make employers pay an annual levy for overseas staff would harm the NHS and social care, cause a shortage of schoolteachers, and could push some universities into bankruptcy, experts have warned.
Nigel Farage’s party has pledged a “migrant worker surcharge”, which would involve a higher rate of employer national insurance as well as a separate annual charge. It would apply to any employees without a UK passport, including EU nationals with settled status, with the exception of Irish passport holders.

Whether you love it or loathe it, tofu is one of the most versatile ingredients in any kitchen. For me, it’s the saviour of stressful dinner times, because it cooks in minutes, absorbs flavour like no other and packs a real nutritional punch. Here, it plays two very different roles: crisped until golden in a fragrant, spice-infused Vietnamese-style pho, and mashed to give body and bite to bold, punchy Thai-ish fishless cakes.
