US president’s approval rating falls to 37% days after he said Americans’ financial situation is not motivating him to broker deal with Iran
Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to its lowest point of his second term, amid mounting frustration over the cost of living and the US-Israel war on Iran.
As November’s US midterm elections loom, most American voters believe Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran was the wrong choice, according to polling released on Monday.

What does a “food desert” look like? In the case of the modestly affluent Cotswolds village of Kempsford, very pretty. When I visit the sun is shining from cloudless blue skies on to lovely honey-coloured stone houses, some draped in purple wisteria.
Aside from the loud hum of US air force planes revving up at the nearby Fairford airbase it’s a picture of rural calm. There’s a primary school and a pub. A house on the main street is called “The Old Bakery”. But there is no shop selling food for miles.

Bij vertrekhal 3 is de rij richting de security zo lang dat mensen tussen de incheckbalies en daaromheen in een rij staan die alsmaar langer wordt. Bij vertrekhal 1 en 2 worden reizigers tegengehouden voor de poortjes, waardoor er in de vertrekhallen voor de incheckbalies ook rijen ontstaan.
Schiphol werkt sinds maandag niet meer met vijf maar met drie beveiligingsbedrijven, met wie nieuwe bedrijven zijn opgericht waarin Schiphol ook een belang heeft. Door de nieuwe opzet zijn veel van de bijna 5000 beveiligers overgegaan naar een nieuwe werkgever. De werkwijze is gekozen om Schiphol meer grip te geven op de beveiliging, ook om chaos met lange rijen tot buiten de vertrekhallen zoals in de zomer van 2022 te voorkomen.
LONDEN (ANP) - De chauffeur van een vrachtwagen met daarin voor omgerekend 8 miljoen euro aan cocaïne, is in het Verenigd Koninkrijk veroordeeld tot dertien jaar en zes maanden cel. Dat meldt de National Crime Agency (NCA), het Britse agentschap dat zich bezighoudt met georganiseerde misdaad.
Naast een lading kleding en ondergoed van Kim Kardashians kledingmerk Skims, had het laadruim een verborgen ruimte waarin de verdovende middelen waren verstopt. Het voertuig werd in september staande gehouden in Essex, nadat het was aangekomen vanuit Hoek van Holland.
Volgens de NCA komt het vaker voor dat chauffeurs als de Pool in kwestie worden gebruikt om grote ladingen drugs te vervoeren, vaak te midden van anderszins 'legitieme' ladingen. Noch de importeur noch de exporteur van de reguliere lading wordt in verband gebracht met de smokkelpoging. De Poolse chauffeur heeft bekend 4500 euro te hebben gekregen om de drugs naar Engeland te brengen.
