AMSTERDAM (ANP) - Activisten van Greenpeace zijn de aandeelhoudersvergadering van JBS, het grootste vleesverwerkingsbedrijf ter wereld, binnengevallen. De aanwezige aandeelhouders in het Sheraton Hotel bij Schiphol zijn de vergaderzaal uit gevlucht, meldt een ANP-verslaggever ter plaatse.
JBS houdt dit jaar zijn aandeelhoudersvergadering in Nederland, omdat het in mei vorig jaar op papier een Nederlands bedrijf werd. Greenpeace wilde de vergadering binnengaan om een brief te overhandigen waarin met juridische stappen wordt gedreigd. De organisatie wil uitbreidingsplannen van JBS in Nigeria blokkeren.

An innocent-looking charity shop find draws you into a compulsive world of demons, ogres and retro delights
For a while in the mid-1990s, meta horror movies were the genre everyone was talking about. Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, Scream, the Blair Witch Project – these films simultaneously examined and exploited genre conventions, seeking to scare audiences while also distancing them from the narrative action. You didn’t know whether to laugh or gasp in shock, you weren’t sure what was story or what was framing. Did that just happen or was it a dream sequence? You just had to go with it.
Now developers Grey Alien Games and Night Signal Entertainment have brought this multilayered approach to the card game solitaire, infusing a straightforward puzzler with a bloody gush of meta meaning and a dollop of nostalgia just for the self-reflexive hell of it. In Forbidden Solitaire, lead character Will Roberta picks up an old 1990s game called, yes, Forbidden Solitaire, in a charity shop vaguely recalling some internet myth about it being cursed. He discovers that the game is a sort of narrative card-battler set in a haunted dungeon filled with monsters and treasure – and then you, the player, are transported from his computer desktop into the game. So you’re both him and you.

Some travellers passing through the new EU entry-exit system (EES) have faced huge delays at border checks, with some waiting for up to three hours, airports say.
The new rules have gradually been introduced in Europe since October 2025, and came into effect on Friday in the Schengen countries – 25 of the EU’s 27 states plus Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Switzerland.
