Speaking at Hay literary festival, former Labour minister says complete disengagement has potential ‘for us to end up in a very, very difficult position’

Former foreign secretary David Miliband has said Europe should have “separate bedrooms” from the US, but not seek a “divorce” from its traditional alliance, despite the Trump administration’s impact on the relationship.

Speaking at the Hay literary festival on Sunday, the former Labour minister, who has served as the president of the International Rescue Committee since 2013, said: “You can see the argument that strategic autonomy for Europe means divorce from the United States. I really counsel the dangers of that.”

Explosives-laden vehicle detonated as passenger train travelled through south-western city of Quetta

A suicide bomber detonated an explosives-laden vehicle near a railway track as a passenger train travelled through the south-western Pakistani city of Quetta, killing at least 23 people and wounding more than 70 others, officials have said.

Like David Cameron in 2016, premier Danielle Smith is facing a mutinous party and has called a referendum about a referendum while vowing a ‘no’ vote

An embattled leader forced to call a referendum on separation to ward off mutiny – and then pledging to campaign against it. Allegations that prosperity had been stolen by distant elites and could be remedied with a vote to leave. Mutterings of foreign interference.

The shadow of Brexit has loomed over the prairie province of Alberta as a minority push for a vote on secedeing from Canada. And it was there again on Thursday evening when Alberta’s premier, Danielle Smith, unveiled her government’s tangled referendum question on the western province’s future – both in the gravity of the potential outcome, and in the chaotic nature of its expression:

PARIJS (ANP) - Tennisser Alexander Zverev is op overtuigende wijze begonnen aan Roland Garros. De als tweede geplaatste Duitser rekende in drie sets af met de Fransman Benjamin Bonzi, de nummer 95 van de wereld: 6-3 6-4 6-2.

De 29-jarige Zverev wacht nog op zijn eerste grandslamtitel. In 2024 verloor hij op Roland Garros de finale van Carlos Alcaraz. De geblesseerde Spanjaard is er nu niet bij. Zverev bereikte daarnaast in Parijs drie keer de halve finale en drie keer de kwartfinale.

In de tweede ronde speelt Zverev tegen de Tsjech Tomas Machac, die in drie sets afrekende met de Belg Zizou Bergs.

​De gevaren van videogames blijven terugkomen in het maatschappelijke debat. Zo groeiden miljoenen jongeren dankzij The Sims op met het idee dat ze een huis konden bezitten. Vooral millennials en gen Z’ers kampen dagelijks met de mentale gevolgen van het spel.

“Vroeger als kind heb ik úren besteed aan het bouwen van mijn eigen vrijstaande huis”, aldus de 27-jarige Michelle. “Ik had een ruime tuin met zwembad. Het liet me dromen over de toekomst. Het is echt bizar hoe we als generatie zijn verpest door spellen als The Sims.” Michelle moest recent haar huurappartement uit en verblijft momenteel in de poolhouse van een vriendin met teringrijke ouders.

Soms heeft Michelle donkere gedachten over het weghalen van het trappetje, geeft ze toe. “Maar ik wil mijn intrusieve gedachten door The Sims niet laten winnen. Ik moet hoop houden, maar het is verschrikkelijk moeilijk soms.”
