George Russell found his way back to the top spot with an impressive victory in a thrilling Austrian Grand Prix, but as he sunk some champagne, many of his rivals were itching to escape after wilting in the heat. Lawrence Barretto selects his winners and losers from the Red Bull Ring.

NEW YORK (ANP) - Comcast hoorde maandag bij de grote stijgers op de aandelenbeurzen in New York. Het Amerikaanse mediaconcern heeft plannen bekendgemaakt om het bedrijf op te splitsen. De telecomactiviteiten komen daarbij los te staan van de entertainmenttak. Comcast wil zijn mediadivisies NBCUniversal en Sky onderbrengen in een zelfstandig bedrijf.

Aandeelhouders zullen belangen krijgen in beide bedrijven, meldde Comcast maandag. De splitsing zal naar verwachting over een jaar plaatsvinden. Comcast schoot bijna 9 procent omhoog. Aandelen van het bedrijf zijn dit jaar tot nu toe 22 procent minder waard geworden.

Verder was de stemming op de Amerikaanse beursvloeren positief. De Dow-Jonesindex noteerde kort na opening van de markt 0,3 procent hoger op 52.036 punten. De samengestelde S&P 500-index klom 0,7 procent tot 7404 punten. Techbeurs Nasdaq won 1,1 procent op 25.571 punten. De Nasdaq lijkt daarmee iets van de verliezen van vorige week goed te maken, toen de techgraadmeter vijf dagen op rij sloot met een verlies.

Beleggers hebben hun aandacht aan het begin van een nieuwe beursweek onder meer gericht op een jaarlijkse bijeenkomst van centrale bankiers in Portugal. De nieuwe voorzitter van de Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh, zal daar voor het eerst buiten de Verenigde Staten in het openbaar spreken. Daarbij wordt gelet op mogelijke hints over het rentebeleid, maar ook op opmerkingen over de financiële stabiliteit.

Ook worden ontwikkelingen in het Midden-Oosten nauw gevolgd. Nieuwssite Axios meldde zondag dat de VS en Iran hebben afgesproken om de aanvallen op elkaar te staken. Beide landen zouden elkaar ook dinsdag ontmoeten. Iran ontkende maandag echter dat er deze week technisch overleg plaatsvindt. De olieprijzen gingen maandag iets omhoog.

Daarnaast wordt er op Wall Street uitgekeken naar het maandelijkse banenrapport van de Amerikaanse overheid op donderdag. De banengroei speelt een belangrijke rol in het rentebesluit van de Amerikaanse centrale bank, die naast de inflatie ook let op de werkgelegenheid.

BERLIJN (ANP/RTR) - De Duitse regering wil voorkomen dat Volkswagen fabrieken in het land sluit. Dat zei een woordvoerder van de regering maandag. De autobouwer zou van plan zijn om vier Duitse fabrieken te sluiten, meldde vakblad Manager Magazin vrijdag. Ook zou de autofabrikant uit Duitsland de komende jaren zo'n 100.000 banen willen schrappen. Volkswagen heeft de plannen zelf nog niet naar buiten gebracht.

"Ons doel is om de sluiting van locaties in Duitsland te voorkomen", zei de woordvoerder van de regering. Maar de woordvoerder voegde er ook aan toe dat de keuze uiteindelijk bij het bedrijf zelf ligt. Volkswagen zou van plan zijn om fabrieken in Hannover, Zwickau, Emden en Neckarsulm te sluiten.

De autofabrikant, ook eigenaar van Porsche en Audi, heeft ongeveer 657.000 werknemers in dienst. Volkswagen heeft last van Amerikaanse importheffingen en felle concurrentie van Chinese merken. De winst van de autobouwer daalde vorig jaar naar het laagste niveau sinds 2016.

LONDEN (ANP) - Tennisser Botic van de Zandschulp is doorgedrongen tot de tweede ronde van Wimbledon. De Nederlander rekende in zijn openingspartij op het grandslamtoernooi in Londen in vier sets af met de Amerikaan Aleksandar Kovacevic: 6-3 6-7 (2) 6-4 6-0.

De 30-jarige Van de Zandschulp was de eerste van de drie Nederlanders die zijn toegelaten tot het hoofdtoernooi van het belangrijkste grastoernooi van het jaar. Jesper de Jong en Tallon Griekspoor komen later in actie.

Van de Zandschulp hoopt het dit jaar beter te doen dan de voorgaande drie jaren, waarin hij telkens strandde in de tweede ronde. De beste prestatie van Van de Zandschulp op Wimbledon is het bereiken van de vierde ronde in 2022.

Eerste set

Van de Zandschulp, de huidige nummer 54 van de wereld, opende sterk en plaatste al vroeg in de eerste set een break. Die voorsprong wist hij vast te houden, waardoor hij de set met 6-3 pakte.

Kovacevic, de nummer 69 van de wereld, nam in de tweede set het initiatief over en kwam na een snelle break met 3-0 voor. Van de Zandschulp dreigde zelfs met 4-0 achter te komen, maar hij herpakte zich door alsnog zijn eigen servicegame te winnen en daarna direct zijn tegenstander te breken. De set mondde bij een stand van 6-6 uit in een tiebreak, die Van de Zandschulp verloor met 7-2.

Derde set

In de derde set ging de stand lang gelijk op. Van de Zandschulp kreeg in de tiende game kansen om de set via een break te winnen. Op het vierde setpoint was het raak: 6-4. Daarna was de Nederlander helemaal los. Hij gaf zijn Amerikaanse tegenstander serverend en retournerend vrijwel geen kans meer. Hij won de vierde set zelfs met 6-0.

Van de Zandschulp treft in de tweede ronde de winnaar van de partij tussen de Russen Andrej Roeblev en Roman Safioellin.

CARACAS (ANP/AFP) - Het noorden van Venezuela, waar woensdag twee verwoestende aardbevingen plaatsvonden, is getroffen door een sterke naschok. Deze had een kracht van 4.6 en vond plaats op een diepte van 10 kilometer, aldus de Amerikaanse geologische dienst USGS. Er zijn vooralsnog geen meldingen van nieuwe schade.

Journalisten van persbureau AFP melden dat de schok aan het begin van de ochtend voelbaar was in de hoofdstad Caracas en de zwaar getroffen kustregio La Guaira. De aardbevingen van vorige week hadden een kracht van 7.2 en 7.5 en vonden kort na elkaar plaats. Die hebben grote schade aangericht.

Door de twee aardbevingen zijn zeker 1450 doden gevallen. Er wordt nog gezocht naar overlevenden onder het puin van ingestorte en beschadigde gebouwen. Het wordt steeds onwaarschijnlijker dat mensen levend worden gevonden. De eerste 72 uur na een aardbeving zijn cruciaal voor reddingsoperaties.

Reddingsteams

President Nayib Bukele van El Salvador meldde maandag dat reddingsteams van zijn land, Venezuela en Mexico een 21-jarige man onder het puin hebben gehaald, in La Guaira. Het slachtoffer werd volgens de Venezolaanse interim-president Delcy Rodríguez gered na 106 uur vast te hebben gezeten en een reddingsoperatie van 43 uur.

Verschillende landen, waaronder Nederland, hebben reddingswerkers naar het Zuid-Amerikaanse land gestuurd. Ook hebben ze andere steun toegezegd, bijvoorbeeld in de vorm van hulpgoederen.

Het is niet duidelijk hoeveel mensen er nog onder het puin liggen. Op een platform dat Venezolanen gebruiken om vermiste personen te melden, staat dat met meer dan 46.000 personen nog steeds geen contact is geweest. De communicatie in het getroffen gebied wordt bemoeilijkt door onder meer stroom- en internetproblemen.

Influencer Brooke George, een 23-jarige Britse TikTok-ster, riskeert in Dubai de doodstraf na te zijn aangeklaagd voor de moord op haar vriend, terwijl haar familie en mensenrechtenorganisaties stellen dat zij uit zelfverdediging handelde.

De kern van de zaak

Brooke George, afkomstig uit Kent en met circa 100.000 volgers op TikTok, reisde voor de tweede keer naar Dubai om haar 26-jarige Britse vriend te bezoeken, een expat die daar woonde en werkte.

Tijdens deze tweede trip zou de relatie zijn omgeslagen: volgens de organisatie Detained in Dubai werd de man steeds dominanter en agressiever en zou hij haar hebben geslagen en haar paspoort hebben afgenomen.

In de vroege uren van 22 juni werd George opgepakt; ze wordt verdacht van het neersteken van haar vriend en is formeel aangeklaagd voor moord, een delict waarop in de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten de doodstraf via een vuurpeloton kan volgen

Zelfverdediging en rechtspositie

Detained in Dubai en andere juridische pleitbezorgers stellen dat George handelde uit zelfverdediging en dat zij “voor haar leven vreesde” toen zij naar een keukenmes zou hebben gegrepen.

De organisatie klaagt bovendien over ernstige tekortkomingen in de rechtsgang: zo zou George verklaringen hebben moeten afleggen zonder advocaat en zonder toegang tot de Britse ambassade.Ook beschrijven zij haar behandeling na arrestatie als vernederend, onder meer omdat ze zich voor mannelijke agenten zou hebben moeten uitkleden.

Na de dodelijke schietpartij in de Noord-Duitse stad Stade, waarbij vijf mensen om het leven kwamen, zijn twee verdachten aangehouden. Dat meldt de politie. Een van hen is de vermoedelijke schutter.

De schietpartij vond maandag plaats bij een jongerencentrum met huisvesting voor moeders en kinderen. De dodelijke slachtoffers zouden allemaal meerderjarig zijn. Er zijn ook meerdere mensen gewond geraakt, meldt de politie.

Stade is een stad met zo'n 50.000 inwoners ten westen van Hamburg. Eerder vroeg de politie een gebied rond de Dankersstraße te vermijden. De bewoners van de stad zouden geen gevaar lopen.

DNIPRO (ANP/AFP) - Door een Russische aanval op de Oekraïense stad Dnipro zijn zeker vijf doden en 29 gewonden gevallen, meldt president Volodymyr Zelensky op X. Ook noemt hij een aanval op Zaporizja, waar een minibus werd geraakt. Daarbij lieten drie mensen het leven en raakten zes personen gewond, onder wie een kind. Verder noemt de Oekraïense leider aanvallen in Nikopol en Soemy.

Om Russische aanvallen te kunnen afslaan, hamert Zelensky op meer luchtafweergeschut, specifiek voor de afweer van ballistische raketten, die Rusland steeds meer inzet. Ook is het volgens hem van belang dat Europese landen haast maken met de ontwikkeling van eigen afweer tegen dat type projectielen.

KETTLE AI commands all the headlines nowadays, but the biggest security story of the week is all about human laziness and poor password habits – just like the good old days. This week on the Kettle, host Brandon Vigliarolo is joined by US editor Avram Piltch and security editor Jessica Lyons to talk about the Klue breach, which was blamed on a "compromised legacy credential" that ought to have been deleted a while ago. The hole allowed cybercriminals to access the SalesForce environments of hundreds of companies, say researchers. The incident has caused trouble for security firm Huntress, which admitted to the breach early on, and the situation over there wasn't caused by AI either. That said, AI is playing a role in what's being described as "the summer from hell" by one security professional, but while top-tier AI models are spotting troublesome vulnerabilities, the amount of damage they've managed to cause pales in comparison to what one lazy sysadmin can cause by poorly managing passwords. You can listen to the latest episode of The Kettle by clicking on the player above, as well as on Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube, or read the transcript of the latest episode below. It's been lightly edited for clarity. Brandon (00:01) Welcome to the latest episode of The Register's Kettle Podcast. I'm your host, Brandon Vigliarolo, and this week we have some rather interesting security stories to talk about concerning yet another Salesforce data breach affecting a whole bunch of companies, the new extortion gang behind them, and the trouble the whole thing has spelled for one of the first companies to point the whole thing out. This week I'm joined by US editor Avram Pilch and security editor Jessica Lyons to talk about this whole mess and more. Welcome to you both. Jessica Lyons (00:29) Good to be here. Avram Piltch (00:30) Hey. Brandon (00:30) Jess, let's start with that Salesforce supply chain attack that you wrote about this week. I understand there was a market intelligence connector of some sort that was behind the incident, right? Jessica Lyons (00:41) Right. So there's this company named Klue, and they provide market intelligence to more than 250,000 users worldwide. And they integrate with Salesforce. And so apparently what happened, on around June 11th, somebody used compromised legacy credentials linked to the Salesforce integration, and then by that they were able to obtain OAuth tokens and then were able to access customers' Salesforce data, Klue customers' Salesforce data from that. Brandon (01:21) Okay, was it data that Klue had on their customers in their Salesforce environment, or they pivoted to the customers' environments as well? Jessica Lyons (01:29) It was through the integration with the Salesforce databases. Brandon (01:34) That's not great. A lot of companies were exposed, and a lot of them in your article you mentioned were security companies. Is that right? Jessica Lyons (01:42) There were a ton of security ones, and then LastPass, this huge password manager. We don't know how many; Klue didn't say. Huntress, which is one of the security companies who was involved in this and who came out on the forefront and said, "Yeah, we were one of the compromised organizations," said it was hundreds. And out of 250,000 users, it could be pretty comprehensive. Avram Piltch (02:12) Do you think this makes Huntress look good? Jessica Lyons (02:17) I think it was admirable that they came out, especially as a security company, and said "we were one of the companies who were victimized." I think that's how any company should respond if they're among the companies affected. Especially if you're a security firm, you have an obligation to be transparent and tell your customers what happened. Brandon (02:43) Legally, in the United States at least, if you've got a breach, you've got to report these things to the government. There's all kinds of cybersecurity reporting standards in place. They are contradictory and overlapping sometimes, but they're there. What kind of data was exposed, Jess? Jessica Lyons (02:57) It was basically CRM data. It wasn't any of the companies' internal IP or anything like that. It was CRM data for pretty much every single company involved across the board. The cybercrime group behind this hack did leak the Huntress data a few days later. And we've heard that they're actually deleting the stolen data from LastPass. That's what LastPass is saying. We don't know if this data is actually not going to exist anymore or if they're just handing it off for other attacks or to other organizations. But it involves CRM data. Brandon (03:49) CRM data then, customer data, from the affected companies too. I'm assuming no financial information was exposed? Jessica Lyons (03:52) No, no financial information. Avram Piltch (04:02) So relatively not that bad for Huntress's reputation when you think about it. Jessica Lyons (04:08) They specifically said it's our business contacts, price quotes, and other sales related data and messaging. They said no threat data, passwords, payment card information, or engineering data related to Huntress Agent or telemetry are affected. That's pretty standard across the board. The companies who did get more specific in their disclosures about what was taken basically lost business data, leads, and contacts. Brandon (04:46) For LastPass, was it just CRM records or were consumers of their password managers affected too? Jessica Lyons (04:55) LastPass customers' data was affected. It was some sale-related data, but also the intruders took customers' names, phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses, plus some case support data and then also sales-related data. Brandon (05:13) Right. If you're a LastPass customer, you might want to go in and reset that Master Vault password now. Jessica Lyons (05:18) Big yes, yes, definitely. Brandon (05:22) This didn't involve Shiny Hunters, who've been the de facto kings of Salesforce attacks recently. They weren't involved, right? Jessica Lyons (05:29) Right. No, they weren't involved in that. I think it was what everybody assumed is that you've got Salesforce and you've got OAuth tokens and that just screams Shiny Hunters. They weren't involved. It was a new group called Icarus. They're a new data theft and extortion crew, and they're modeled in the same mold here as Shiny Hunters and Scattered Spider. I was wondering though, is this just a front? According to Shiny Hunters, no, they were not involved. They told me that they were kind of bummed (laughs) that this other group was able to do this. And if it had been them, they would have definitely publicized the fact that it was Shiny Hunters who did this. Brandon (06:15) Yeah, they're not exactly publicity shy. So … I I love the fact that we've got an inside line to them too, that you can be like, "Hey, was this you guys in any way?" And they're like, "No, no, we wish it was." Jessica Lyons (06:26) I think the actual response was, "We wish." Brandon (06:29) Not much is known about Icarus. I think you mentioned a couple of different countries that their IPs might have been linked to, but those very well could have been Tor or VPN exit nodes. We don't even know where they're located. Jessica Lyons (06:43) No, we don't know much about them. Their leak site has been active since late April. We've seen different IP addresses in Europe, but we don't know much about this group at all. Brandon (06:53) These groups change and move so rapidly. Who knows who they are? Are they ransoming this data? Do we know? Jessica Lyons (07:08) Yes, they were ransoming and then leaking some of the data outright. Brandon (07:20) Okay, that's standard MO for a lot of these groups. Speaking of Huntress's early identification of this, that opened up a bit of a Pandora's box for them. Because they had a jilted ex-employee who wasn't thrilled with the response, which you also wrote about. What happened there? Jessica Lyons (07:22) Right. So after Huntress came out and and they said Huntress believes in radical transparency about security incidents, including when it affects our company. That was about the Klue breach. They said that in their blog. A former security operations analyst posted their response on his LinkedIn page along with a Pinocchio GIF. And that just kind of started this whole mess. He says that he was threatened by the company with legal action. He made it very clear this has nothing to do with the Klue incident. He says this stems from an earlier incident that he found out about in December, and because of that incident, he resigned from the company. What he's alleging, and again this is all allegations at this point, is that another Huntress employee who still works for the company passed communications from US law enforcement to a cyber criminal. Now this alleged cyber criminal, according to the ex-employee, is actively targeting his family and him. He says that he can no longer work at Huntress because of this. He says in the next few weeks he's going to provide more proof, including communications and phone calls about what happened here. He says also that this alleged insider was caught by the FBI. I don't know if that means arrested, I don't know if that means questioned, but still continues to work at Huntress. Brandon (09:30) I'm assuming there's no DoJ notice of anything that ties to an arrest of someone who could be involved. Jessica Lyons (09:37) Not at Huntress. No. Not at Huntress. Brandon (09:40) What has Huntress had to say about this whole thing? Jessica Lyons (09:42) The CEO responded to me and also responded on a Reddit post. He acknowledges the concerns raised by this former employee. He said that because of our work as researchers, sometimes we need to communicate with possible cyber criminals to gather intel that supports our partners and customers. He says that he appreciates the former employee's concerns and will continue to investigate the instance. He said a little bit more directly on Reddit that he doesn't understand and he firmly disagrees with these accusations and the insider narrative. Another thing that the former employee also brought up that Huntress is prioritizing an IPO over the safety of its partners, customers, and team members. He said that "sure AF" isn't the case. He's made it very clear that the company disagrees with all of these accusations and they're continuing to work with law enforcement. He said some of this involves legal proceedings, so they can't be completely public about everything. It sounds like a continuing story that we're going to learn more about in the weeks ahead. Brandon (11:15) If this ex-employee has documents to prove his allegations, that's pretty serious. Obviously, yes, you do have to interact with some of the people that you're defending against at a security firm, but passing law enforcement communications to them – I don't see a very good reason for that. Jessica Lyons (11:22) Right. Avram Piltch (11:36) Could this be a misunderstanding about what the employee was doing? Jessica Lyons (11:44) It potentially could, but if he has these communications between law enforcement and the Huntress employee, I don't know how that could be a misunderstanding. It's one thing to talk with cyber criminals, but it's another thing to be passing them information about legal proceedings.... Brandon (12:09) Yeah, or potential operations. We'll see what comes of that. It's going to be interesting to follow that thread. These two stories aside, it seems like we've got a really busy cybersecurity summer so far, even though it is usually a lull. Jess, you were talking about that with one of your sources, right? Jessica Lyons (12:13) Right. Normally everything slows down in the summer, and I was talking to a source and they said they're already calling it the "summer of hell." For the security folks out there, that's pretty accurate. I think a lot of that has to do with AI, to be perfectly honest. Brandon (12:48) Right. Squidbleed, which you wrote about recently, was a Mythos-discovered vulnerability discovered that was old and potentially serious. Jessica Lyons (12:51) Definitely. It's been around since 1997. It was discovered by Mythos, but it was also discovered even before then by IL Security, a European startup. They have their own model that they said found this before Mythos did. You've got this 29-year-old vulnerability, it's existed since 1997. It's in Squid, which is an open source web proxy server. It's a parsing bug and it essentially allows users to access the proxy's active memory. There are a couple key points: it's only unencrypted traffic, so it's cleartext HTTP, and it also requires that Squid has the file transfer protocol, FTP server gateway features turned on. So you have to be using this older vintage technology and protocols. FTP is pretty outdated at this point. Brandon (14:07) It's a vulnerability, but maybe not a serious one. Jessica Lyons (14:11) It's serious if these two conditions are met, because then it's going to expose your password, session tokens, and API keys. Brandon (14:15) Hopefully there are not too many environments where this is the case, but we know from writing about stories like this that every time you say this is a very rare case on old software, you can easily find examples. Avram Piltch (14:33) If you're still using FTP and HTTP on your servers, then you're letting yourself in for a big security problem. That probably isn't your only problem. Brandon (14:39) Yeah, you don't want to say asking for it, but yeah. AI might be discovering these and other problems. We've seen multiple open source projects shut down bug reports because they're getting flooded with AI-discovered issues, some of which are completely legitimate. It feels like this is the summer of AI and cybersecurity convergence. The Trump administration is now haranguing OpenAI, just as much as they've been putting pressure on Anthropic not to go public with models that could be a threat. It feels like a big moment for cybersecurity, and a lot of it's being driven by AI. What do you guys think about the current moment of this pairing? Jessica Lyons (15:23) It's a perfect storm because you have these models that are really good at finding vulnerabilities and developing exploits. That's leading to a bunch of internally, with security companies finding their own bugs and pushing out patches, so then all the sysadmins need to work extra hard. Plus open source, which is a huge issue here, you have all of these bug hunters looking for and finding all kinds of vulnerabilities on open source projects. They push those to maintainers who a lot of times are volunteers themselves and they're not getting paid. There's maybe one of them for this huge project. They have this huge backlog of AI-enabled threat reports that they need to deal with. It's just coming at people from all ends here and yeah, a lot of that's because of the AI models. Brandon (16:35) Is NIST still backed up with the national vulnerability database? Last I heard they were some months behind. Not only that, but we've got a lot of big threats out there that might not be being made public because they're buried too. It's quite the mess. So before we wrap up, I did wanna touch on, like you mentioned, Jess, and and we've seen this in a number of stories that Avram's written recently for the Pwned column. AI is creating a headache for a lot of people, but there's still a group of people that are stuck dealing with this and it's sysadmins, right? It's the security professional, it's the sysadmins, NShuman human problems can still be kind of the root of this. Avram, you wrote a number of stories in your Pwn column that it was it was like all these problems, these security problems come back to bad password hygiene, administrator laziness. I mean, what are some of the things you've kind of seen? Avram Piltch (17:35) Hubris. There was a CEO that wanted to make sure that he could get in and change anybody in the company's email. We could talk about whether that's a good policy in the first place, but his method of doing it was to have an Excel file on his desktop with all of the usernames and passwords of all the employees so that if he sent out an email he shouldn't have, he could go into their inboxes and delete it. But conversely that was a wonderful target for people outside the company to find all the names and passwords they needed, even though there's software out there that will allow an admin to go into an inbox anyway. This was completely unnecessary, but things like that are constantly happening. We had another incident where somebody hadn't deleted a former employee's username and password, perhaps their password was in a breach somewhere or somebody guessed it. But Greg from auditing hadn't worked there in like ten years, but somebody used his credentials to break into a city's water system and start trying to interfere with things having to do with the water supply. The best AI in the world isn't needed to find these problems and couldn't be used to prevent them. The human element is still the biggest problem in security. Maybe when I have my agent talk to your agent, they will be much better behaved than when people get involved. But coming up in a future Pwned column, I talked to a red teamer who said he's basically able to break into almost any facility by acting like he belongs there. Brandon (19:51) That's a classic trick. It's the same thing I've said for a long time about security: you've got new tricks that come up, you've got new things like AI, but there's nothing new under the sun at the end of the day. The best way to gain access to a system isn't to swordfish your way in a la Huge Jackman, it's a con. It's lying, putting on a reflective vest, and having a clipboard. It's relying on password breaches and people being bad about their password hygiene. That's what happened with the Clue issue: an old password that was in a breach somewhere that someone used to get into the system. Nothing new under the sun. Jessica Lyons (20:26) Yeah, we see that all the time. Brandon (20:34) And it's probably going to keep being that way, and I bet we are probably going to be talking about it on the Kettle for months and years to come. Invariably, until AI fully takes over the computer world and we're all just sitting in our WALL-E couches being perpetually entertained by all these sentient machines. But until then, we will be here to talk about these things. Thanks for joining me, guys, and we will see you all again soon. ®

Aan de Slag bij Ane (1227) hebben Groningen en Drenthe veel autonomie te danken. Een groot ridderleger werd toen verslagen door de heer van Coevorden. Maar het slagveld zou wel eens bij Holthone kunnen liggen. Archeologen, amateurs én veteranen doen er nu gezamenlijk onderzoek.

Iedereen kan in de Tweede Kamer een petitie komen aanbieden, op dinsdagmiddag. Scholieren staan naast de 'plastic soup surfer', en er is een evangelist.

The frontage of this building is of great historical significance as it was erected as clubrooms
for the German Club (Der Deutsche Verein). It was one of the few secular buildings to be
found in the city associated with this important migrant group. This building is also of
significance because the Salvation Army used it until recently for its welfare work.
The establishment in 1854 of the German Club resulted from the large influx of German immigrants in the late 1830s and 1840s. This immigration was initially sponsored by George
Fife Angas who sympathised with the Germans' fight against religious persecution. Soon after their arrival in the colony they established themselves as a community in their own right.

Unfortunately the rules of the club restricted its membership to such a degree that due to
falling numbers it was finally unable to afford its large clubrooms in Pirie Street.
Consequently, the premises had to be sold to pay off the club’s accumulation of debts. Elitism
in the club saw the emergence of the alternative German Club, the South Australian German
Association, which was founded in March 1886 to cater for the needs of members not
provided by the earlier club. The popularity of this association quickly saw the decline and
folding up of the German Club.
The aspirations of the club were expressed in the scale of the building, if not in terms of its
architectural style, which was described as being in French Renaissance style. In 1878 G.R. Johnson of Melbourne, designer of the Theatre Royal, also designed the premises for the German Club. The club premises included a billiard room, social meeting room, reading rooms, smoking room, and six bedrooms. At the rear was a large hall called the Albert Hall which was built by Brown and Thompson to a design by Bayer and Withall, but has since
been burnt out and demolished. Charles Farr, under the superintendence of G. Joachimi, was responsible for the erection of the present building facing Pirie Street. This first stage cost
£7231. The foundation stone was laid on 20 August 1878.

In 1899 the Pirie Street property was bought for the Salvation Army which occupied the
building until 1979. In 1938 Harold Griggs designed an additional storey for the army, the detailing of which entirely reproduced the architectural detailing of the ground floor and first floor. The building, twice damaged by fire during occupation by the Salvation Army, was an important part of the operation of the army in Adelaide, and will be long remembered as the old 'People's Palace', providing low-cost temporary, accommodation.

Since the Salvation Army relinquished the building in 1979, it has been twice redeveloped, firstly as offices within the building shell, and subsequently as a facade to a new office block behind. Despite this the frontage to Pirie Street remains an important streetscape element with its eclectic use of classical elements and the high quality of stucco work. This frontage which was remodelled in 1938 is a strong streetscape element.

Een te hoog voertuig heeft maandagmiddag voor veel schade gezorgd in de Beneluxtunnel (A4) richting het zuiden. De rechtertunnelbuis is dicht en de schade moet worden hersteld. Mogelijk duurt dat tot na de spits.

Ja 90.000, dat is best veel geld, daarvan kunt u bijvoorbeeld 1800 jaar GeenStijl Premium betalen, of iets vaker dan 257 keer een vasectomie ondergaan (de laatste, onvolledige wordt mogelijk wat pijnlijk, maar na 257 maal kunt u die ook gewoon overslaan). Wie helemaal geen vasectomie onderging, maar nu wel 90.000 pietermensen mag aftikken: Kempi (volgens sommigen een vrouwenhatende engnek, volgens anderen, waaronder eigenlijk vooral Kempi zelf, juist het tegenovergestelde). Afijn het verhaal: Kempi maakte iemand zwanger, kreeg daar spijt van, probeerde haar met dwang, dreiging en geweld tot abortus over te laten gaan, kreeg zijn zin niet, bleef dreigen en vervelend doen, werd veroordeeld tot zeven maanden celstraf en een (online) contactverbod, ging in hoger beroep, negeerde het online-contactverbod, begon toen ontzettend te jammeren over het echte slachtoffer in deze zaak (te weten: Kempi), en mag nu bijna een ton overmaken aan zijn slachtoffer. Dat had dus allemaal niet gehoeven, maar op de een of andere manier vond Kempi het ontzettend belangrijk om een filmpje met daarin zijn zoontje op TikTok te laten staan. Volgens zijn advocaat kwam dat door een technische storing, een beetje de open brug onder rechtbankverdedigingen. Het lag hoe dan ook niet aan Kempi, zoals er eigenlijk nooit iets aan Kempi ligt. Arme donder!

The Writers Who Wrote The Most in History. “Corin Tellado published more than 4,000 novels, mostly under a contract with Spanish publisher Bruguera, which obligated her to deliver a 76-page novel every single week for years.”

Het hoge woord is eruit: kabinet Jetten heeft excuses aangeboden voor kabinet Schoof. Voor een zaal vol nabestaanden zei Jetten ‘zich diep te schamen voor deze episode in de Nederlandse geschiedenis’

Jetten: “Deze 11 maanden zijn voor het Nederlandse volk een onzekere en moeilijke tijd geweest. Dat dit heeft kunnen gebeuren, is onvergeeflijk”. Kort keek hij naar zijn papier en herpakte hij zichzelf. “Ruim 7 maanden formeren om na 11 maanden te vallen…”

Marleen de Rooy deed verslag van de excuses. “Jetten liep zichtbaar geëmotioneerd van het podium. Het was duidelijk dat deze zaak hem persoonlijk veel doet. Het is fijn dat de excuses zo snel komen, terwijl de gedupeerden er nog zijn om het mee te maken.”

Of Jetten hiermee het kelderende vertrouwen in zijn minderheidskabinet zal verbeteren, is nog onduidelijk. Wanneer wordt opgemerkt dat ook Jettens kabinet nog weinig heeft bereikt, is hij duidelijk: ‘’We doen wat we kunnen. Ook in de Tweede Kamer was het erg warm, en ook wij verdienen zomervakantie’’.

Joost Eerdmans is intussen al begonnen om zijn excuses voor kabinet Jetten op papier te zetten.
