Man wilde aanslag plegen met bijlen op Amalia en Alexia

Justitie verdenkt een man van 33 van het voorbereiden van een aanslag op prinses Amalia en prinses Alexia, in februari van dit jaar. Dat schrijft de NOS

Komende maandag is de eerste inleidende zitting in zijn zaak voor de rechtbank in Den Haag.

De verdachte zou in het bezit zijn geweest van twee bijlen met daarin gekerfd de woorden Alexia, Mossad en Sieg Heil. Ook zou hij een handgeschreven tekst hebben gehad met de woorden Amalia, Alexia en Bloedbad.

Eerder bedreigd

Hoe concreet het plan voor een aanslag was, is niet duidelijk. Ook is nog niets duidelijk over zijn motief. Mogelijk wordt daar maandag meer over bekend.

Amalia kreeg eerder met bedreigingen te maken. Daardoor kon zij in 2022 niet op kamers gaan wonen in Amsterdam. Later werd bekend dat ze vanwege de dreiging in Madrid was gaan studeren en daar woonde

Leicester’s stunning Premier League win 10 years on, recalled by Ranieri and his fellow Foxes

Training ground fun, rock star fans and a Christmas party in Copenhagen were ingredients in the rank outsiders’ triumph, sealed on 2 May 2016

I remember in January, February that season Riyad Mahrez asked: “What do you think we can achieve?” I laughed, but didn’t say anything. Riyad said: “You know, you know.” I am a very pragmatic man … I knew we could do something special, but not to win the Premier League. Now people everywhere recognise me – people from the US, Canada and Asia ask to take pictures: “Leicester! The legend!” Unbelievable. It was a story that was something special for the world.

Large-scale sporting events cause unexpected air pollution, study shows

Research conducted at 2022 Commonwealth Games found catering and fireworks were main causes of pollution

This summer, large-scale sporting events will take place, including the men’s football World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico and the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, but research reveals that such events have unexpected air pollution impacts.

More than 300,000 spectators went to the Alexander Stadium for the athletics events, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies.

My advice to Hannah Spencer? Before calling out MPs’ boozing, try to understand the reasons behind it | Gaby Hinsliff

The new MP is right that parliament’s drinking culture is fundamentally weird. But to change it, we need to reset the whole institution

Seven o’clock on a Monday night and I am standing in the House of Commons, nursing a glass of vinegary white wine.

All around me are people doing the same, though it’s polite sipping rather than getting sloshed. Waiters ferry bottles between the terrace function rooms, where MPs are hosting dinners or campaign launches like the one I’m at. Between the clanging division bells summoning MPs for votes that will go on tonight until gone 11pm, the Strangers’ bar is doing its usual trade.

Helen Goh’s springtime spinach sponge cake with cream cheese icing – recipe | The sweet spot

Bright green, tangy and tender, this cake is a delicious way to sing in the spring

There is a particular green that belongs to spring: pale and luminous, it’s softer than the dark foliage of winter, and quieter than the glossy abundance of summer herbs. Spinach, the colour of new growth, captures this moment perfectly. Tender and almost impossibly vivid, this cake loses its metallic edge in the heat of the oven, leaving a gentle, vegetal brightness. Baked in a shallow tin and spread with cream cheese icing, when sliced into squares, it produces the perfect ratio of cake to icing and tastes uncommonly good.

Man who pocketed tiles from medieval priory as boy returns them 60 years later

Simon White comes clean after finding clay pieces in toffee tin, saying he took them as souvenir from Wenlock Priory

Fragments of a priory’s medieval tiled floor that spent almost 60 years stashed in a toffee tin after being pocketed by a nine-year-old boy during a family outing have finally been handed back.

The three pieces of decorative clay tiles, dating from the late 13th to early 14th century, were taken as a souvenir by Simon White during a family visit to Wenlock Priory in Shropshire in the late 1960s.
