Aandeleninkoop Vopak enthousiast ontvangen op Damrak

AMSTERDAM (ANP) - Tankopslagbedrijf Vopak was woensdagochtend een van de winnaars op de beurs in Amsterdam. Beleggers reageerden enthousiast op de jaarresultaten van het Rotterdamse tankopslagconcern, dat een recordwinst neerzette en een aandeleninkoop van een half miljard euro aankondigde.

Vopak noteerde kort na de openingsbel rond de 9 procent hoger. Volgens topman Dick Richelle is er sprake van een groeiende wereldwijde behoefte aan kritieke opslagmogelijkheden voor gas. Vopak heeft volgens hem ook goede vooruitgang geboekt met de uitbreiding van zijn gasinfrastructuur in Canada, Colombia, India en Nederland en met industriële uitbreidingen in China, de VS en Thailand.

Vopak streeft ernaar tot en met 2030 in totaal ongeveer 1,7 miljard euro te laten terugvloeien naar de aandeelhouders. Ook het dividend gaat omhoog.

De AEX-index in Amsterdam won in de eerste handelsminuten 0,6 procent tot 1025,87 punten.


Teheran noemt Trumps uitspraken over Iran 'grote leugens'

TEHERAN (ANP/AFP) - De Iraanse regering heeft uitspraken van de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump over Iran "grote leugens" genoemd. Een woordvoerder van het ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken zei dat Trumps claim dat Iran raketten maakt om de VS te kunnen treffen niet waar is.

"Wat ze (de VS) ook beweren over Irans nucleaire programma, Iraanse raketten of het aantal slachtoffers van de onrust in Iran in januari, het is telkens weer een herhaling van grote leugens", aldus de woordvoerder.

Trump zei in zijn jaarlijkse State of the Union-rede in het Congres dat Iran probeert raketten te maken die Amerika zouden kunnen treffen. Hij herhaalde ook dat Washington niet zal toestaan dat Iran nucleaire wapens verwerft. Trump zei dat de Iraniërs "op dit moment weer bezig zijn hun duistere nucleaire doeleinden na te streven". De VS beschuldigen Iran er al decennialang van dat het land aan een kernwapen werkt. Iran weerspreekt dat telkens.

Russian firms have routed $8bn of trade through British island territories since invasion of Ukraine

Anti-corruption group Transparency International have catalogued ‘sanctions circumvention’ channelled through ‘unaccountable jurisdictions’

Russian companies have used Britain’s secretive island territories to conduct $8bn (£5.9bn) of trade since the invasion of Ukraine, according to a report that highlights the flow of goods ranging from oil-drilling equipment to luxury yachts linked to Moscow’s political elite.

The analysis, published a day after the fourth anniversary of Russia’s assault on its neighbour, raises questions over the role played by the British overseas territories in enforcing sanctions designed to turn the screw on the Kremlin.

What is the earliest in a season that a football team has been relegated? | The Knowledge

Plus: top and bottom being first and last alphabetically, oldest players to outscore their age and cornerless matches

  • Mail us with your questions and answers

“With Sheffield Wednesday on the brink of relegation in February [update: they’re now down], what is the earliest a team has been demoted to another division?” asks Kevin Bartholomew.

The earliest confirmed relegation in a season we can find is Peterborough United, in 1967-68, who were relegated from the third tier with a whopping 27 games remaining. After the club were found guilty of breaking league rules relating to match-fee incentives and signing-on bonuses, a Football League management committee confirmed in mid-November of 1968 that Posh would be relegated, whatever their final league placing or points tally. Despite finishing ninth with 50 points, Peterborough were docked 19 of them, rendering them bottom. The club were relegated having scored 79 goals that season, which made them more prolific than all but one of the other teams in Division Three, including champions Oxford United.

I was at the Baftas – and while hearing the N-word was unsettling, all anger should be aimed at the BBC | Jason Okundaye

By failing to remove John Davidson’s tic from the broadcast, editors let down both black and disabled people

I attended the Bafta awards on Sunday. And I arrived early enough to hear the Tourette syndrome (TS) campaigner John Davidson, on whom the biographical film I Swear is based, be introduced. He stood up to wave and take in the applause, and we were told that due to his TS, we might expect to hear involuntary vocal outbursts, known as tics, and that we should understand that the Baftas are an inclusive space in which all people are welcome.

Perhaps half the people were listening, others would have been on their phones or engaged in mild chatter. But the tics were instantly audible. When the host, Alan Cumming, was on stage we heard “boring” and there was laughter. When the outgoing chair of Bafta, Sara Putt, was speaking, we heard “shut the fuck up” and there was a mix of knowing silence and confusion. But, as you all now know, it was when Sinners actors Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented an award that the tics transmuted from things that would be read as benignly antisocial to more outright offensive, as we heard the N-word. There were gasps and whispers of “did he just say … ?”
