ZAANDAM (ANP) - De Amerikaanse websites van enkele merken van Ahold Delhaize zijn toch weer offline. Eerder op dinsdagochtend werkten verschillende websites weer. Onder meer Food Lion en Giant Food waren bereikbaar. Later werden ze toch weer onbereikbaar. Hannaford en Stop & Shop hebben, voor zover bekend, nog helemaal niet online gestaan.
Op de website van Giant Food was korte tijd een statement te zien waarin excuses worden aangeboden voor de onderbreking van de service. Ook werden er via een actiecode kortingen aan klanten aangeboden. Bij Food Lion stond er op de homepage een bericht met "we are so back".
Ahold Delhaize haalde om het cyberincident uit voorzorg systemen offline, waardoor veel webshops onbereikbaar waren en de bevoorrading van winkels in de problemen kwam. De Nederlandse webshops van Albert Heijn, Etos en Gall & Gall waren eerder ook offline, maar zijn inmiddels weer actief. In een eerdere verklaring zei Ahold Delhaize dat de websites van de Amerikaanse merken "in de komende dagen" weer bereikbaar zouden zijn.
BOISE (ANP/AFP) - Werknemers van een fabriek van Micron Technology in Taiwan zijn van plan om donderdag te staken. Hiermee willen ze druk uitoefenen op het Amerikaanse chipbedrijf om met een "concreet winstdelingsplan" te komen, laat een vakbond die de werknemers vertegenwoordigt weten.
De enorme wereldwijde vraag naar chips voor AI-datacentra heeft de inkomsten van bedrijven die deze chips ontwerpen, produceren en assembleren flink doen stijgen. Door de sterke winstgroei eisen de werknemers een groter deel van die winst op.
Micron, dat ongeveer 50 tot 60 procent van zijn chips in Taiwan produceert, liet vorige maand weten dat het personeel een bedrag ter waarde van maximaal 68 maandsalarissen zou ontvangen als eenmalige bonus. Dat voorstel werd echter door de werknemers afgewezen.
De vakbonden eisen een eenmalige bonus ter hoogte van 83 maandsalarissen. Ook willen ze een structureel winstdelingssysteem waarbij 15 procent van de operationele winst van het bedrijf naar bonussen voor werknemers gaat.
Here’s what we need to do to stand up for international law
Many applauded when Navi Pillay was awarded the Nobel peace prize. The South African human rights lawyer had chaired the UN commission of inquiry that found Israel to have committed genocide in Gaza and served for five years as a judge on the international criminal court (ICC).
Donald Trump responded a few hours later by imposing sanctions on the ICC. He chose a moment for celebrating the rule of law to try to undermine it.

Some friends and I were talking, at the weekend, about the TV shows War (about a couple getting divorced) and The Diplomat (about an entirely different couple, not getting divorced). I hadn’t seen either because I was busy with Colin from Accounts. One friend had seen one show but not the other, and couldn’t remember which; a second friend had seen both and couldn’t remember anything that happened in either.
It emphatically wasn’t because they weren’t good. The second friend seemed medium-sure, in fact, that they were both great. His thesis is that he just watches so much TV that none of it can find any purchase in his memory.

The cattle should be ambling, grazing contentedly, through Robert Delgado’s fields. Instead, the animals slump in the shade, tongues lolling, in futile attempts to avoid the blistering heat. Soon it will matter little whether their appetite returns, for there will be no grass left to graze.
In Azuero, an agricultural region in Panama’s Arco Seco (Dry Arc), the summer is generally relentless and unforgiving. But this year, the crucial rainy season that precedes it – typically from May to December – has brought little rain to parched fields. The watering holes, streams and rivers that farmers rely on have not been replenished, and pastures – the vital source of animal feed during the dry months – have not regenerated themselves.

Abubaker Saeed was fishing in the Red Sea off Yemen’s coast last month when he noticed explosions in the distance. His mind turned immediately to his wife and two children, and he raced back to his home village of al-Wahijah.
Aircraft from the Saudi-led coalition supporting Yemeni government forces had launched airstrikes in surrounding areas, targeting members of the Iran-aligned Houthi militia as its fighters approached the nearby port city of Mocha.

There is only one clear winner so far from France’s chaos: Marine Le Pen.
The violence and rioting that engulfed towns and cities across the country over the weekend, six months before a pivotal presidential election, is a godsend for the hard-right, Eurosceptical, anti-immigration candidate. As buildings burned, shops were looted and police attacked, the rioting largely drowned out peaceful mass protests over the dilapidated state of schools , fuel prices and the cost of living.
