DEN HAAG (ANP) - De productie van de Nederlandse industrie is in april flink aangetrokken. Volgens het Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (CBS) was sprake van de sterkste groei sinds het najaar van 2022. Dit is mogelijk een gevolg van paniekaankopen van klanten door verstoringen in de toeleveringsketens door de oorlog in het Midden-Oosten.

Vergeleken met april 2025 veerde de productie 4,7 procent op. De laatste maand dat de industriële productie op jaarbasis een sterkere groei liet zien, was in oktober 2022. Toen werd er 5,4 procent meer geproduceerd dan een jaar eerder.

Onlangs signaleerde de Nederlandse Vereniging voor Inkoopmanagement (Nevi) al een flinke opleving van de industriële bedrijvigheid. Dat schreef die organisatie toe aan hamstergedrag, waarbij bedrijven orders eerder plaatsten om voorspelde prijsstijgingen voor te blijven.

MP Melanie Ward calls on Charity Commission to look into 32 organisations she says have given at least £28m

Thirty-two charities in England and Wales have donated at least £28m to Israeli settlements that are illegal under international law, an MP has said.

Labour’s Melanie Ward said that if gift aid were claimed against the donations in the usual way, it would mean taxpayers had subsidised illegal settlements to the tune of £5.6m, a situation she described as deplorable. The foreign secretary, Yvette Cooper, announced on Tuesday that the Charity Commission has been tasked with investigating UK charities’ links to settlements.

While most visitors prefer the finches, tropicbirds and blue-footed boobies, some are drawn to less glamorous species

Most visitors don’t come to the Galápagos for the gulls. With more than a dozen kinds of Darwin’s finches on offer – along with fearsome frigatebirds, ethereal tropicbirds, and comical blue-footed boobies – my tour companions could be forgiven for overlooking these less glamorous seabirds.

But as a lifelong laridophile (as gull enthusiasts are known), I had two particular target species here. And on our first day’s sailing, as we landed on North Seymour Island, I saw my first: a large gull with a dark grey head and strikingly zigzag-patterned wings.

Diamond Light Source and ISIS Neutron and Muon Source face cuts of up to 20% as Science and Technology Facilities Council seeks savings

Britain’s scientific capabilities face “serious damage” with some national facilities at risk of closure under spending cuts that are being considered to meet spiralling costs at the government’s infrastructure funding agency.

The concern surrounds sites funded and operated by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), including the Diamond Light Source and ISIS Neutron and Muon Source in Oxfordshire and other national facilities at the Daresbury Laboratory in Cheshire.

Amazon and Sony among firms that may have sourced coltan, used in phones, from supply chains controlled by the M23 rebels, says Global Witness

Leading global brands including Amazon, Ericsson and Sony are “likely” to have sourced minerals linked to a militia accused of widespread sexual violence, summary executions and torture, a new investigation claims.

The companies allegedlybut unknowingly, acquired coltan smuggled from mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) that are occupied by the M23 militia, which has committed myriad atrocities in eastern DRC.

The Ukraine and Iran wars are very different, but a common authoritarian delusion unites the men who started them

A strongman president, self-styled redeemer of national glory, is trapped in a conflict he can’t win but doesn’t know how to end without looking like a loser. A cult of infallibility prevents the leader admitting a strategic blunder even to himself. It could be Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin; Iran or Ukraine.

The conflicts and the regimes involved are also dissimilar in important ways. Russia’s campaign to eradicate a neighbouring democracy is nastier in conception and bloodier in execution than the bungled US effort to dislodge a dictatorship in Tehran. It has also gone on much longer. The first world war was shorter than a “special military operation” that was supposed to capture Kyiv within weeks. The Soviet Red Army repelled Nazi invasion and marched on Berlin in less time than it has taken Putin’s forces to occupy a tranche of eastern Ukraine, and they are not making any significant advances. The war has burned trillions of roubles and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of lives for no discernible dividend in national greatness.

Greenpeace calculates that wealthiest contribute nearly $1tn of damage a year with ownership-based emissions

Ultra-wealthy people zooming across the world on their private jets, lounging on yachts and conspicuous by their Instagrammable consumption are among the most easily identified individual culprits when it comes to the climate crisis – but new research argues that it is not just their heady lifestyles to blame, but also their bank accounts.

Through their ownership of companies and private financial and physical assets, from oil producers to property developments, the super-rich are responsible for an outsized slice of the greenhouse gases that are overheating the planet. The top 1% of people by wealth, through their shareholdings and investments, control about a quarter of global annual emissions in total.

An unusual frittata with a risotto base, and a simple but delicious salad combination that’s sure to be a big hit

I love this salad – the combination of soft, juicy chicken, crisp leaves and anchovy croutons is so delicious. We serve it on the terrace at my restaurant and, when the sun is shining, it is the biggest seller by a country mile. But, first, an unusual frittata, which is essentially a risotto base with asparagus: it’s not difficult to make and is perfect for lunch, and even better as part of a picnic.
