WENEN (ANP/BLOOMBERG) - Landen van OPEC+ zullen zondag waarschijnlijk instemmen met een productieverhoging voor juni, melden drie afgevaardigden van het oliekartel aan persbureau Bloomberg. Dat zou de eerste stap van OPEC+ zijn sinds het plotselinge vertrek van de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten (VAE) deze week.
Twee bronnen zeggen dat zeven grote landen, onder leiding van Saudi-Arabië en Rusland, tijdens hun onlinevergadering waarschijnlijk 188.000 vaten olie per dag toevoegen aan hun productiedoelstelling. Het zou overigens om een symbolische productieverhoging gaan, gezien de Straat van Hormuz zo goed als afgesloten is. Het ophogen van quota nu kan later wel nuttig zijn, als de oorlog in het Midden-Oosten eindigt en landen de olieproductie weer opstarten.
OPEC+ is al langer bezig de olieproductie stapsgewijs te verhogen. Het besluit van de VAE, een bondgenoot van de Verenigde Staten, volgde op zijn kritiek op andere Arabische landen dat ze niet genoeg zouden doen om het land te beschermen tegen de Iraanse aanvallen.

By Monday morning, the shape of next season’s Premier League will be clearer. Saturday lunchtime stages the final round of the actual best league in the world, the Championship. One of Ipswich, Millwall and Middlesbrough will join Frank Lampard’s Coventry in being a top-division club by 3pm, Rochdale-esque pitch invasions permitting, as automatic promotion is boxed off. There’s also a race for sixth, another triple-header, where plucky, Disney/tech bro/Hollywood-backed Wrexham kick off a point ahead of Hull and Derby in the chase for the playoffs. Will Ryan and Rob be there? Boro are the opposition, so will Chubby Brown and Jeff Winter be there?
Re: Scott Parker’s Burnley exit (yesterday’s Football Daily). A manager who has masterminded three promotions and two relegations clearly knows what practice makes” – Rob Crouch.
Just wanted to say thanks for the Wilco reference in the last line (yesterday’s Football Daily, full email edition). In the middle of a very busy work day, it really was a shot in the arm” – David Kramer (and others).
Regarding yesterday’s last line, there’s plenty of choice descriptions from that Wilco song for the end of the relationship between Burnley and Scott Parker, but the clear one is this: what Burnley once were isn’t what they wanna be any more. To be fair, Parker could be forgiven for thinking ‘oh, you’ve changed’ upon receiving the news, but the club could have told him they needed a shot in the arm and cut him loose six months ago” – Colin Durant.

Most of us have a complicated relationship with our stuff. There’s the endless collection of chargers and wires, the overflowing “everything drawer” in the kitchen, the tote bag of tote bags. Clutter is not a character flaw. It is, more often than not, a conversation your home is having with you about something deeper.
As an integrative therapist, I regularly hear that conversation. Clutter rarely arrives as just a tidying problem. It carries anxiety, grief, identity, shame and transition. Understanding what lies beneath is often the first step to being free of it.

The UK is no stranger to foreign cars. The bestseller lists in recent years have been dominated by the US’s Ford Puma, Japan’s Nissan Qashqai, Korea’s Kia Sportage and occasionally even Tesla’s Model Y.
But in March the top 10 provided a shock: a Chinese car leapt into the lead.

Harman says rebels should face consequences
Donald Trump has supported the reintroduction of LIV Golf players onto the PGA Tour after the league announced the withdrawal of funding from the Saudi Public Investment Fund.
The US president said he would love to see top golfers who defected to the LIV circuit playing regularly against the PGA Tour’s best as uncertainty engulfed the breakaway league following the announcement.
Continue reading...Ja sorry maar dit is geweldig. Valt ook verder niet zoveel over te zeggen, behalve dat deze prins Chirayu Rana de onderstaande teksten in de officiële aanklacht bij de rechtbank dus volledig uit z'n duim zoog, de racistische bejegening van zijn eigen vrouw incluis. De wens is de vader van de aanklacht. Komen ze!
"In the summer of 2024, it is claimed in the lawsuit that Hajdini showed up at an apartment where Doe was staying, knowing he’d be there. Inside, Hajdini allegedly made sexual advances on Doe, which he rebuffed, insisting he wasn’t interested. ‘Do you want to get promoted at year end or not?’ Hajdini warned him, according to the lawsuit. ‘Do you want a future at JPMorgan? It’s that simple. I don’t know why you’re fighting this.’ Hajdini then allegedly removed her shirt, began fondling her breasts and racially insulted Doe’s wife, remarking: ‘I bet your little Asian, fish head, wife doesn’t have these cannons,’ the complaint reads."
Ja typisch iets wat vrouwen zeggen! Maar daar eindigt de nachtmerrie niet.
"Doe claims she then forcibly removed his pants and performed oral sex on him against his will. He continued to protest and began to cry, according to the lawsuit. Hajdini allegedly admonished him for crying and scolded him for failing to achieve an erection. ‘Stop f**king crying. You think anyone would ever believe you? You’re a f**king douche bag who thinks he’s hot s**t, but you can’t even get your d**k hard for me? What the f**k is this?’ she allegedly said. She then ordered him to perform oral sex on her, ignoring his pleas of ‘don’t make me do this.’‘Afraid that Ms. Hajdini would act on her threats to retaliate against him, [Doe], embarrassed and humiliated, complied with her demands,’ the lawsuit states."
Maar wat blijkt? Het was niet incidenteel. Haar seksuele terreurbewind was structureel, en het slachtoffer was eigenlijk nergens nog veilig.
"Doe claims he was assaulted again later the same month. During the second encounter, Hajdini allegedly ordered him to suck her toes, pushed him to the ground and sat on his face, berating him when he was unable to sustain arousal. ‘I’m very uncomfortable, please, Lorna, please, I’m begging you,’ Doe claims he told her. But she allegedly laughed before making a racist remark that at least his genitals didn’t ‘taste like curry,’ according to the complaint. Over the following months, Doe claims Hajdini continued to subject him to overt sexual advances at work and in public, and continued to sexually assault him."
En ze schuwde geen enkel arbeidsrechtelijk machtsmiddel om te krijgen wat ze wilde namelijk Chirayu Rana's overheerlijke PIK als dat nog niet duidelijk was.
"The complaint says she repeatedly reminded him that she ‘owned’ him and that she controlled his promotion and bonus, which he understood as a threat that she would block both if he refused.
During an encounter in late September 2024, Hajdini allegedly yelled at Doe that he wasn’t bringing in enough business to help her secure a promotion to Managing Director, before again threatening him if he refused to have sex with her, the complaint says.
‘I f**king own you! I will make you pay… Do you think you’re going to be in good standing if you do not have me in your corner,’ she allegedly said. ‘You really think [management]... want some Brown boy Indian leading Originations?... If you don’t f**k my brains out tonight, I’m going to sabotage your promotion.’
Fearful of retaliation, Doe claims he relented and submitted to another encounter."
En als haar machtspel niet werkte schroomde ze niet het slachtoffer simpelweg te drogeren met zowel verdovende middelen als erectiepillen.
"Doe claims Hajdini later admitted to drugging him with Rohypnol or 'roofies' and ‘an erection-enabling pharmaceutical substance’, to ensure he could perform before coerced encounters."
En toen begon de gehele (racistische) zwaardmacht van JP Morgan zich ermee te bemoeien.
"A week later, he claims the firm began retaliating against him. That included receiving anonymous threatening phone calls from individuals he believes were acting on behalf of Hajdini and others, attempting to scare him into silence, according to the complaint.
‘Just wait ‘till you’re back in New York, Brown boy…’ one caller allegedly told him. ‘You better stay away - snitch.’
On June 9, 2025, Doe says he received a voicemail from someone claiming to be a manager at JPMC, telling him he wasn’t welcome because of his skin color, adding that ‘people don’t want you or your kind here.’ Another caller allegedly threatened to contact US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) about him and his family."
En toen ging de wekker.
