Regisseur James Cameron bezet plek 1, 3 én 4 op de mondiale filmlijst. Toch schaart ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ zich daar waarschijnlijk niet tussen. Drie uur en een kwartier is te lang voor een herhaling van zetten.

This image is a combination of altimeter data from both the Sentinel-6 sea-level tracking satellites: Sentinel-6B and its twin, Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, which was launched in 2020. The image shows the Gulf Stream current in the North Atlantic Ocean, off the eastern coasts of the US and Canada. The ‘ground tracks’ for Sentinel-6B (S6B) and Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich (S6MF) are shown as thick strips on the map.
Colours along the tracks show sea level relative to a long-term average: red indicates higher-than-usual sea level, blue indicates lower-than-usual. Knowledge of Gulf Stream current systems is important for both ship routing and fisheries. The background image shows a global map of sea-surface height anomalies based on satellite altimeter data produced by the Copernicus Marine Service for 26 November 2025. All altimeter tracks display data collected on that same day. Image illustrative and not for operational use.
The image was created using data from the mission’s Poseidon-4 dual-frequency (C- and Ku-band) radar altimeter, which uses an innovative mode that has improved performance compared to previous satellite altimeter designs. Radar altimeter instruments measure the time it takes for radar pulses to reach Earth’s surface and bounce back to the satellite.

LIVERPOOL (ANP/RTR/AFP) - Een Britse man die in mei met een auto inreed op feestvierders in Liverpool, is veroordeeld tot 21,5 jaar gevangenisstraf. Er vielen 134 gewonden, onder wie acht kinderen.
In de Engelse stad werd massaal de titel van voetbalclub Liverpool in de Premier League gevierd. De kampioenen reden met een open bus door Liverpool. De 54-jarige Paul Doyle reed naar het centrum om vrienden op te halen. Volgens aanklagers "verloor hij zijn geduld in de drukte" en "reed hij in een woedeaanval de menigte in".
Doyle gaf tijdens het proces toe dat hij opzettelijk met zijn auto door de menigte reed. De man had eerder gezegd niet schuldig te zijn aan de 31 aanklachten tegen hem. Hij zei aanvankelijk dat hij in blinde paniek was gaan rijden en zich bedreigd voelde door de menigte.
Dashcam
Beelden van zijn dashcam werden getoond in de rechtbank. Die lieten zien hoe Doyle steeds bozer werd terwijl hij met zijn voertuig door de menigte reed. Hij schold en schreeuwde terwijl hij zijn voertuig recht op mensen afstuurde. Het jongste slachtoffer was een baby van zes maanden. Die werd uit zijn kinderwagen geslingerd, maar bleef ongedeerd.
De rechter zei dat een feestelijke dag door Doyle een "blijvende nalatenschap is geworden van angst, verwondingen en verlies". "Uw daden hebben voor horror en verwoesting gezorgd op een schaal die deze rechtbank nog niet eerder heeft meegemaakt", aldus de rechter.
Volgens aanklagers waren op de dag van de aanrijding ongeveer 1 miljoen mensen op de been in Liverpool. Een hoge politiefunctionaris zei vorige maand dat het "moeilijk is om de schokkende taferelen van die dag te vergeten". Hij voegde eraan toe dat het "puur geluk is dat er niemand is omgekomen door de roekeloze acties van Doyle".
An anonymous reader quotes a report from BleepingComputer: Audio streaming platform SoundCloud has confirmed that outages and VPN connection issues over the past few days were caused by a security breach in which threat actors stole a database containing user information. The disclosure follows widespread reports over the past four days from users who were unable to access SoundCloud when connecting via VPN, with attempts resulting in the site displaying 403 "forbidden" errors.
In a statement shared with BleepingComputer, SoundCloud said it recently detected unauthorized activity involving an ancillary service dashboard and activated its incident response procedures. SoundCloud acknowledged that a threat actor accessed some of its data but said the exposure was limited in scope. [...] BleepingComputer has learned that the breach affects 20% of SoundCloud's users, which, based on publicly reported user figures, could impact roughly 28 million accounts. The company said it is confident that all unauthorized access to SoundCloud systems has been blocked and that there is no ongoing risk to the platform. "We understand that a purported threat actor group accessed certain limited data that we hold," SoundCloud told BleepingComputer. "We have completed an investigation into the data that was impacted, and no sensitive data (such as financial or password data) has been accessed. The data involved consisted only of email addresses and information already visible on public SoundCloud profiles."
