Welja. Om de nabka te herdenken Vanwege de Gaza Flotilla zijn de vrienden van Sharon Dijksma vandaag naar Den Haag getrokken om een waardevolle bijdrage te leveren aan het maatschappelijk debat. Nadat de groep bij de Tweede Kamer werd 'heengezonden' gingen de actievoerders lekker naar huis het Centraal Station om het treinverkeer te blokkeren. En met succes. De NS meldde een storing van het treinverkeer vanwege 'personen' op het spoor. Owen is erbij. Meer beeld na de breek.
UPDATE: Er is een trein vertrokken

The director of Drive, unveiling new thriller My Private Hell, told journalists he ‘died for 25 minutes’ in 2023
The Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn, best known for films such as the Pusher trilogy and Drive, has emotionally spoken about his near-death experience and heart surgery three years ago.
The director, whose first film in 10 years, Her Private Hell, premiered on Monday evening, told gathered journalists that he had “died for 25 minutes” in 2023.

Donald Trump has again threatened Iran, saying the US may launch new attacks if Tehran continues to refuse the significant concessions he wants before a deal can be struck to end the Middle East war.
The US president said he had called off a fresh wave of strikes, which would have broken the ceasefire in place since early last month. “I was an hour away from making the decision to go today,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday.

Firefox version 151 is out of beta and trickling out to users, with handy additions, just in case you were thinking of jumping ship from Windows 11 to Linux. Mozilla has officially released Firefox 151, although automatic updates are not yet happening at the time we write this. Its profit-making subsidiary MZLA has also released Thunderbird 151, although its new-feature list has less cool new shiny. The Firefox product announcement trumpets a “fresh new look and feel” for the New Tab page. As we’ve already lightly customized ours, we didn’t see that, but you know how it is – this is the sort of thing marketing folks can understand and sound excited about. Apparently you can customize its wallpaper and add a “Recent Activity” feed, if that’s what you want. (We’ve just added a few more rows of shortcuts to recent pages.) A more useful function, especially if you don’t trust Firefox Sync and you’re thinking of changing to a new OS, is improved handling of Firefox Backup, the built-in tools for backing up and restoring your profile (or profiles, plural, for the truly hardcore). The page in the last link hasn’t changed in the last three weeks, and it still says, “Note: Firefox Backup is currently only available to users on Windows 10 and 11. This feature may be extended to other platforms in future versions of Firefox.” Well, now it has: the release notes say it works on Linux now. We’ve also seen reports that it is now on macOS too, but not on our iMac (This could be because we’ve been using Firefox Sync since the late lamented Xmarks shut down). A key addition is that a profile backed up on one OS can now be restored on a different OS, which sounds like a significant improvement to us. This includes extensions and themes. Last time around, we shared the news that the PDF editor could split multipage PDFs into chunks, including saving out individual pages. In this version, it can now merge multiple PDFs into one, which also sounds handy. It’s the sort of feature we rarely need, but when we do, we really need it. Suffice to say that with recent Firefox versions, we no longer need a standalone PDF viewer. As well as over 30 security fixes and the usual developer changes, this release fixes some more visible bugs: multi-monitor handling has been improved, as has macOS integration. For instance, it can now handle links pasted from iOS using Apple’s Universal Clipboard feature, and dropdown menus on web pages use the native Apple menu style. Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection has been further – er – enhanced, and now conceals more info about you – and much more on macOS. Thunderbird 151 is nigh upon us The closest thing to a universal cross-platform messaging client that the 21st century has to offer us so far has been updated, too. Thunderbird 151 is rolling out, although we haven’t been offered the update yet. The release notes' What’s New section only has three bullet points, and one of those is for the not-yet-public Thundermail service, part of Thunderbird Pro. However, it’s easier to adjust authorization settings for automatically-created accounts, Microsoft Exchange handling has been slightly tweaked, and you can sort tasks by different criteria. Since our task list is about three pages long and never seems to get any shorter, that sounds quite handy. ®
Cucumbers used to be called “cowcumbers”. I’m sorry, what?!
IJMUIDEN (ANP) - Tata Steel Nederland is blij met de steun van het Europees Parlement voor een nieuw quotum voor de import van staal. Een meerderheid van de Europarlementariërs stemde dinsdag in met een halvering van het huidige staalquotum, om de Europese markt te beschermen tegen staaloverschotten van buiten de EU.
"Tata Steel Nederland verwelkomt de brede steun van het Europees Parlement. In een periode van toenemende druk door hoge import en oneerlijke concurrentie is dit een belangrijke stap om een gelijk speelveld te herstellen en de Europese industrie te beschermen", reageert de staalfabrikant. Tata Steel Nederland roept op om de maatregel snel in werking te laten treden.
Het parlement heeft ook ingestemd met het voorstel van de Europese Commissie om het importtarief voor staal buiten het quotum te verhogen van 25 naar 50 procent. Als de lidstaten nog een keer instemmen met het akkoord, geldt het nieuwe staalquotum vanaf 1 juli.
Een gesprongen waterleiding zette zo'n veertig woningen in de Transvaalstraat dit weekend blank. In de slaapkamer van studente Jihan stond bijvoorbeeld wel 30 centimeter water. De moddervlekken zitten nog op de muur en het ruikt muf. De Rotterdamse slaapt noodgedwongen bij haar moeder. "Hier kun je toch niet slapen?"
