WÜRZBURG (ANP/DPA) - Een man heeft drie Jehova's getuigen aangevallen met een mes bij een treinstation in het Duitse Würzburg. Volgens de politie raakten de drie mannen lichtgewond. Voorbijgangers, waaronder een politieagent in burgerkleding, wisten de dader te overmeesteren.
De verdachte benaderde de groep van Jehova's getuigen en maakte stekende bewegingen. Daarnaast zou hij twee mannen fysiek hebben aangevallen. De slachtoffers hebben geen steekwonden.
De Jehova's getuigen zijn een gesloten christelijke groep met een eigen interpretatie van de Bijbel. Aanhangers geloven dat het einde van de wereld nabij is en dat zij als uitverkoren gemeenschap zullen worden gered.
BRUSSEL (ANP) - De Europese Commissie vindt dat Hongarije het politieke besluit van de EU-leiders over de EU-lening voor Oekraïne moet respecteren. Alle EU-leiders zijn eind december akkoord gegaan met die lening ter waarde van 90 miljard euro, ook de Hongaarse premier Viktor Orbán, benadrukte de woordvoerder van de Commissie.
"We verwachten dat alle leiders hun verplichtingen nakomen. Het niet nakomen daarvan is duidelijk een schending van de loyaliteitsplicht", zei de woordvoerder.
De lidstaten hebben er op die top van december ook mee ingestemd dat de EU de 90 miljard euro op de kapitaalmarkt leent. De rentekosten worden gedekt door de EU-begroting. Tsjechië, Hongarije en Slowakije doen niet mee.
Orbán wil nu de lening blokkeren, omdat Hongarije geen Russische olie krijgt uit de beschadigde Droezjba-pijpleiding. Volgens Hongarije weigert Oekraïne de olieleveringen op gang te brengen. De woordvoerder van de Commissie zei dat de pijpleiding is geraakt door een Russische aanval.

Take a private tour of Paradigm Gallery + Studio
Join our friends at Paradigm Gallery + Studio for a private tour of their current exhibitions, spanning three incredible floors of their Old City building.

Explore the immersive Magic Gardens
When mosaic artist Isaiah Zagar (1939–2026) moved to Philadelphia’s South Street in the 1960s, he saw an opportunity to not only revitalize a neglected area but transform it into a haven for creatives. He began working on what would become Magic Gardens, an immersive environment with sculpted metal, wood, and concrete forms that entice visitors through maze-like passageways crafted from glass bottles, bicycle wheels, dinnerware, architectural elements, and so much more.

Visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art
One of the largest institutions of its kind in the U.S., the Philadelphia Museum of Art features 200 galleries at its main building alone. This summer, Van Gogh’s famous “Sunflowers” will go on view.

Tour the unique Recycled Artists in Residence (RAIR) program
Since 2010, RAIR has established itself as a unique opportunity for emerging, mid-career, and established artists. By facilitating artists’ direct engagement with the waste stream, the program encourages residents to consider their studio practices through the lens of sustainability and to thoughtfully reassess how they source materials and dispose of waste.


Where you’ll stay
YOWIE is a design-forward boutique hotel, founded originally as a small design gift shop in 2016. It has since grown into a hospitality-meets-design destination that invites guests to shop, eat, stay, and explore the city’s creative side. Nestled on a sunny corner of historic South Street, a neighborhood block rich in music, art, and makers, YOWIE is a new kind of space to experience Philadelphia from an insider’s point of view. More than a place to stay, YOWIE is the neighborhood’s guest room. A spot for travelers, friends, and anyone passing through.
