• Walkouts to take place at Friday’s press conferences

• Dispute with grand slams gone on for more than a year

The world’s top players are planning to protest over prize money by reducing their media appearances at the French Open as their public battle with the grand slams intensifies.

Players selected to take part in Friday’s opening press conference at Roland Garros will walk out after 15 minutes, symbolising that the slams allocate an average of 15% of their revenues to prize money. The rest of the draw will refuse to conduct additional interviews with the tournament’s main media rights partners, TNT Sports and Eurosport.

Here is all the information you need to follow the Canadian Grand Prix weekend live on F1 TV.

Ferrari’s Miami upgrade was at least as big as those of Red Bull and McLaren, and although it gained the car performance, the Sprint format combined with the extremely hot tarmac meant that the competitive picture was a little unclear.

De Nigeriaanse autoriteiten krijgen geen grip op het escalerende geweld van een steeds diffusere groep strijdende partijen. Inmiddels vechten ook de Amerikanen mee.

Microsoft has confirmed that SMS is on the way out as a method of authentication and recovery for personal Microsoft accounts. Fraud and dubious security were cited as reasons for the move: "SMS authentication is vulnerable to phishing and SIM-swap attacks." Passwordless accounts, passkeys, and verified email are the future, according to Microsoft. The announcement was first spotted by WindowsLatest and comes as passkeys are increasingly accepted as a default authentication standard. In April 2026, the UK's National Cyber Security Centre officially endorsed the technology and urged consumers to adopt it. For its part, Microsoft has promoted the use of passkeys for more than a year, declaring in 2025 that all new Microsoft accounts would be passwordless by default. As such, the days of SMS as a method of authentication and account recovery have been numbered for some time, and Microsoft's announcement confirms that users will be directed elsewhere. However, it did not state when it will pull the plug on the technology once and for all. Dropping SMS is laudable, but users will still need to learn a new authentication method. Microsoft promises to guide them through it - offering options to sign in with or create a passkey at login – yet that transition may prove easier said than done. Passkeys also have challenges, most notably when used over multiple devices. In that instance, a synchronization tool or password manager can help, but users might not be familiar with these technologies. Ultimately, SMS as a method of authentication and recovery for a Microsoft account is on the way out. For many security professionals, it is not a moment too soon. ®

DEN HAAG (ANP) - Nog voordat de verbouwing van het Binnenhof klaar is, is het complex te klein voor alle organisaties die erin moeten. Minister Elanor Boekholt-O'Sullivan (Volkshuisvesting, D66) zei in een debat met de Tweede Kamer: "De Tweede Kamer is gegroeid, de Eerste Kamer is gegroeid, de Raad van State is gegroeid, alles is gegroeid. Dus het gaat niet passen, tenzij we in afgeslankte vorm teruggaan."

"We weten dat de behoefte groter is geworden omdat er gewoon meer mensen werken", zei de minister na afloop van het debat tegen het ANP. "Daar is helemaal niks mis mee, maar die moeten vervolgens in andere gebouwen vlak bij het Binnenhof kunnen werken." Ook het ministerie van Algemene Zaken komt na de verbouwing terug op het Binnenhof.

Als oplossing noemde de minister het Staalcomplex, een groep gebouwen naast de Hofvijver in Den Haag die het Rijksvastgoedbedrijf in 2024 heeft gekocht. De aankoop en verbouwing van dat complex zijn niet meegeteld bij de totale kosten van de renovatie van het Binnenhof. Boekholt-O'Sullivan kon geen bedrag noemen.
