The Musk v. Altman trial entered its third week Monday, with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and former OpenAI co-founder and renowned AI researcher Ilya Sutskever taking the stand. Nadella testified that Elon Musk never raised concerns to him that Microsoft's investments in OpenAI violated any special commitments, and said he viewed the partnership as clearly commercial from the start. He also described OpenAI's 2023 board crisis as "amateur city."
Meanwhile, Sutskever testified that he had raised concerns about Sam Altman because he feared OpenAI could be "destroyed." He expressed concerns about Altman's behavior to the board, in part because he said he felt "a great deal of ownership" over the startup. "I simply cared for it, and I didn't want it to be destroyed," Sutskever said. CNBC reports: Nadella said he was "very proud" that Microsoft took the risk to invest in OpenAI when "no one else was willing" to bet on the fledgling lab. Musk, who testified late last month, said Microsoft's $10 billion investment was the key tipping point that made him believe OpenAI was violating its nonprofit mission. He testified that the scale of the investment bothered him, and it prompted him to open a legal investigation into OpenAI. "I was concerned they were really trying to steal the charity," Musk said from the stand.
Nadella said he did not believe Microsoft's investments in OpenAI were donations, and that there was a clear commercial element to their partnership from the outset. He said during the partnership's early years, Microsoft gave OpenAI sharp discounts on computing resources, and Microsoft believed it would reap marketing benefits from doing so. During a separate video deposition that was played on Monday morning, Michael Wetter, a corporate development executive at Microsoft, said the company has recognized approximately $9.5 billion in revenue to date through its partnership with OpenAI as of March 2025.
[...] Nadella said he was "pretty surprised" by the board's decision [to fire Altman in November 2023], and that his priority was to try and figure out how to maintain continuity for Microsoft customers. Immediately after Altman was removed, Nadella said he made an effort to learn more about what happened, adding that he suspected jealousy and poor communication was at play. During conversations with OpenAI board members after the firing, Nadella said he was simply trying to understand the language in the OpenAI's statement about Altman being "not consistently candid" while communicating with the board. That language, Nadella said, "just didn't sort of suffice, because this is the CEO of a company that we are invested in and we're deeply partnered with, and so I felt that they could have explained to me what are the incidents or what is the detail behind it." There must have been instances of jealousy or miscommunication that could have justified pushing out Altman, Nadella said. He wanted more depth from the board members after the remark about candor, but no such information was available, he said. "It was sort of amateur city, as far as I'm concerned," Nadella testified.
[...] Musk testified that he is not entirely against OpenAI having a for-profit unit, but he said it became "the tail wagging the dog." He repeatedly accused Altman and Brockman of enriching themselves from a charity while also reaping the positive associations that come from running a nonprofit. "Microsoft has their own motivations, and that would be different from the motivations of the charity," Musk said from the stand. "All due respect to Microsoft, do you really want Microsoft controlling digital superintelligence?"
During a videotaped deposition shown in court last week, former OpenAI director Tasha McCauley recalled a discussion with Nadella and her fellow board members after the 2023 decision to dismiss Altman as OpenAI's CEO. "To the best of my recollection, Satya wanted to restore things to as they had been," McCauley said. The board members didn't think that was the right move, she said. But as a court witness on Monday, Nadella said he never demanded that the board reinstate Altman as OpenAI CEO. Recap:

Ebrahim Rezaei says in social media post that the country could enrich its stocks of uranium to 90% and will review such a move in parliament
Israel sent Iron Dome anti-missile batteries and personnel to operate them to the UAE to defend the country during the war with Iran, the US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, said at an event in Tel Aviv, Israel.
“I’d like to say a word of appreciation for United Arab Emirates, the first Abraham accord member,” Huckabee said at the Tel Aviv conference. “Just look at the benefits. Israel just sent them Iron Dome batteries and personnel to help operate them.”

The unusual pursuit was captured on CCTV cameras inside the Philippine senate. Ronald dela Rosa, a longtime ally of the former president Rodrigo Duterte, raced along the hallways of the upper house complex, stumbling on the staircase, as he fled government agents.
“They want to forcibly bring me to The Hague, to surrender me there,” Dela Rosa said later on a Facebook livestream, pleading for public support.

Today’s talks in Brussels come as the three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine announced by president Donald Trump last week ended with a fresh wave of Russian strikes.
AFP reported that Moscow launched a wave of more than 200 attack drones that damaged energy facilities and apartment buildings, killing at least one person.
“Attack drones were shot down in the Dnipro, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions, as well as in Kyiv and the region. Energy facilities, apartment buildings, and a kindergarten were damaged, and there was also a strike on an ordinary civilian locomotive on the railway... People have been reported injured as a result of these strikes. And, unfortunately, there are fatalities.”
“Russia must end this war, and it is Russia that must take the step toward a real, lasting ceasefire. Until that happens, sanctions against Moscow are necessary and must remain in place and be strengthened. It is important that there be no easing of pressure and that partners do not stand aside, but continue working together for security, justice, and a reliable peace.”

A news report last week described how growing instability means millions of Britons are building up a stash of cash, tinned food and torches at home. I don’t know about you, but I’ve always thought there is no better litmus test of how things are going for a country than whether the populace is stockpiling emergency rations.
Watching Keir Starmer stubbornly cling on to his leadership as members of his cabinet and MPs move against him, it seems only a matter of time before the PM himself is prepping. With the end moving closer, you half expect Starmer to barricade himself in Downing Street with a jumbo pack of baked beans and a carton of cigarettes.
“I’m not going to shy away from the fact that I’ve got some doubters,” Starmer told reporters on Monday after what could be his 73rd major speech to “reset” his premiership in less than two years.
“Some” doubters. That seems a generous summary of events at this point. At time of writing, those doubting Starmer include his former deputy prime minister Angela Rayner, foreign secretary Yvette Cooper, home secretary Shabana Mahmood, four resigned ministerial aides, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, union bosses, peers, and what increasingly feels like most of the backbenchers who have access to an X account.

The number of internal displacements triggered by conflict or violence around the world reached a record high in 2025, surpassing the number of disaster-driven internal displacements for the first time.
A report published by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) shows that by the end of 2025 there were 32.3m conflict-driven internal displacements. That is 60% higher than those recorded the previous year, and – for the first time since data collection began in 2008 – above displacements driven by natural disasters, which reached 29.9m in 2025.

Directed by Patrick Leung, this affecting saga from Hong Kong is a bit tricksy to get to grips with because it keeps hopping back and forth between an assortment of time frames. It tracks a set of characters as children in the mid-1980s, played by one group of young actors, and then later in the 1990s and early 00s when an adult cast takes over. But as it spirals in towards its surprising and dramatic conclusion, everything falls into place and the last 10 minutes is properly tear-jerking – even if it’s unabashedly sentimental, like a classic melodrama.
The key incident foretold in the title happens around halfway through, although it’s no spoiler to know it’s coming. In 1985, a quartet of kids growing up on a working-class Hong Kong housing estate – boys Kin (Matthew Wong Cheuk-yin) and Heem (Chui Ka-him), and girl Hoyi (Lam Seung-yu) and her kid brother (Shawn Heung Sung-yu), for ever called Little Brother – see a UFO in the sky one night. The experience bonds them for ever, even if each kid grows up to pursue goals one wouldn’t expect based on what they’re like as tots. Sailor’s son Kin (played by Chui Tien-you as an adult) pursues wealth in the stock market as it booms in the aftermath of the 1997 handover of Hong Kong to China, itself an understandably big deal in the story. Heem (a very engaging Wong You-nam) had leukaemia as a child, and lives constantly in the short term under the shadow of illness. Hoyi, who everyone describes as a pudgy little girl, grows up to be a slim-hipped beauty (Charlene Choi Cheuk-yin) – this is considered a great achievement along with becoming an accountant and planning to marry a dullard named Austin (Joey Cho Yiu Leung) who has his life all planned out.

Tikhon Dzyadko, who serves as editor-in-chief at TV Rain, was accused of spreading false information about the Russian armed forces.
Eind februari gaat een Rotterdams echtpaar een rondje fietsen. De fietsrit eindigt dramatisch als de 70-jarige man door een scooterrijder ten val komt en drie weken later overlijdt. Zijn vrouw doet nu haar verhaal: "Hij heeft nooit meer wat tegen me kunnen zeggen."
Xander de Buisonjé kennen we als zanger en voormalig partner van Wendy van Dijk. Hij staat bekend als een optimistische en energieke persoonlijkheid, maar in het EO-programma Hel of Hotel laat hij een heel andere kant van zichzelf zien.
In het programma, waarin bekende Nederlanders worden opgesloten met ex-gedetineerden, doet De Buisonjé een bijzonder aangrijpende onthulling over zijn jeugd. De zanger vertelt dat hij jarenlang slachtoffer is geweest van seksueel misbruik. Dat gebeurde tussen zijn elfde en veertiende levensjaar.
Traumatische periode
Alsof dat nog niet heftig genoeg is, vertelt hij dat de dader hem onder dreiging van een vuurwapen misbruikte. Een traumatische periode die diepe littekens heeft achtergelaten en waar hij, zo blijkt, nog altijd mee worstelt.
Later maakte de man die hem misbruikte een einde aan zijn eigen leven. Dat riep bij De Buisonjé gemengde gevoelens op. “Dat is uiteindelijk mijn geluk geweest", vertelt de zanger. "Want anders was ik hem later, als ik ouder was, misschien zelf wel achternagegaan.”
Lichte straffen
De gebeurtenis heeft ook invloed gehad op hoe hij naar straffen in Nederland kijkt. De zanger zegt dat hij zich regelmatig afvraagt of daders in sommige gevallen niet te licht worden gestraft.
In Hel of Hotel delen BN’ers en ex-gedetineerden niet alleen een cel, maar ook persoonlijke verhalen en stevige discussies over misdaad en straf. Het programma speelt zich af in de voormalige Blokhuispoort in Leeuwarden. Eerder gingen onder anderen Maik de Boer, Wybren van Haga, Mark Baanders en Joost Eerdmans hem al voor.

Er is niet alleen een tekort aan kwark, maar een heuse schaarste aan Skyr: de proteïnehype heeft de zuivelhoek van de supermarkt veranderd in jachtterrein voor fanatieke ontbijters. Hieronder een conceptblog dat je zo in Welingelichte Kringen kunt zetten (titel zoals jij voorstelde).
Schaarste aan Skyr door malle eiwittenrage
Wie ’s ochtends trouw een bakje kwark of Skyr uit het schap vist, staat de laatste weken opvallend vaak naar… niets te kijken. Lege planken waar normaal de IJslandse eiwitbommen staan uitgestald: de proteïnehype hakt er ineens keihard in. Supermarkten draaien op volle toeren, maar de vraag naar eiwitrijke zuivel gaat harder dan de fabrieken kunnen bijbenen.
Van sportshake naar ontbijtbord
Eiwitten waren lang vooral iets uit de sportschool: shakes, scoops en kleverige repen voor mensen in strakke leggings en te korte tanktops. Inmiddels is “meer proteïne” het toverwoord op bijna elk schap, van roomijs tot chips, en is het gewone ontbijt ongemerkt in een fitness-supplement veranderd. Op sociale media worden Skyr‑ontbijtjes massaal gepimpt met granola, dadels, pindakaas en chocoladesaus – hoe hoger de eiwitscore, hoe beter.
Vooral Skyr is de ster van de show: extra veel eiwit, weinig vet, toch romig, en in Nederland in no‑time uitgegroeid tot het lievelingetje van influencers en foodbloggers. In een bakje Skyr zit duidelijk meer eiwit dan in gewone yoghurt, en net wat meer dan in magere kwark – precies waar de eiwitjagers naar op zoek zijn.
Supermarkten: ‘We draaien op volle capaciteit’
Supermarkten zien de run op proteïneproducten al langer, maar de laatste maanden is de vraag geëxplodeerd. Jumbo meldt dat vooral Skyr niet is aan te slepen en dat zowel huismerken als A‑merken last hebben van lege schappen. In België en Duitsland speelt hetzelfde: ook daar melden ketens dat Skyr “in sommige regio’s deels is uitverkocht” en dat leveranciers op maximale capaciteit draaien.
Zuivelmakers zijn intussen druk bezig hun productie op te schalen, maar dat is geen kwestie van een knopje omzetten. Je hebt melk, tanks, personeel en verpakkingslijnen nodig – en als de vraag in een paar weken tijd verdubbelt, raak je hoe dan ook achter de feiten aan.
TikTok‑recepten en tankstation‑proteïne
De oorzaak van de Skyr‑schaarste is niet een mislukte oogst of staking in de zuivelfabriek, maar vooral sociale media. Virale recepten voor Skyr‑cheesecake, Skyr‑taarten en bizarre mixjes met energydrank stuwen de verkoop omhoog – wie het op TikTok ziet, wil het de volgende dag in de supermarkt namaken.
Tegelijkertijd wordt alles wat “high protein” schreeuwt naar voren geduwd: repen, koekjes, ijs, drankjes en zelfs snacks bij de benzinepomp. De klassieke bak magere kwark krijgt concurrentie van hippe eiwitproducten in felle verpakkingen, maar blijft verrassend populair als simpele basis waar je zelf mee kunt bouwen.
Heeft iemand al gevraagd of al dat extra eiwit wel nodig is?
Bij al dat gejaag op proteïne zou je bijna vergeten om even naar de feiten te kijken. Het Voedingscentrum is helder: de meeste Nederlanders krijgen ruimschoots genoeg eiwit binnen met een normaal voedingspatroon – extra eiwitrijke yoghurt of Skyr is voor de gemiddelde mens helemaal niet nodig. Eiwit verzadigt goed, maar als je structureel meer binnenkrijgt dan je lichaam verbruikt, word je er vooral zwaarder van, niet gespierder.
Oftewel: wie denkt met drie kommen Skyr per dag een shortcut naar een strandlichaam te hebben gevonden, komt bedrogen uit. Je spieren groeien van training, voldoende rust en een normaal gevarieerd eetpatroon – niet van het hamsteren van bakjes IJslandse yoghurt.
Wanneer is de rage voorbij?
Supermarkten verwachten dat de ergste schaarste in de loop van de lente en zomer afvlakt, zodra de productie is opgeschaald en de hype een beetje is uitgewoed. Maar de trend achter de trend – de fixatie op eiwit als wonderstof – lijkt voorlopig nog niet weg, want sectoranalyses zien al jaren een stevige groei in de verkoop van eiwitrijke zuivel.
Tot die tijd is het in de zuivelgang elke ochtend even bingo spelen. En wie het zat is om achter de massa aan te rennen, kan altijd terugvallen op een ouderwets bakje magere kwark of yoghurt: iets minder spectaculair op je feed, maar net zo goed voor je spieren – en een stuk minder hysterisch voor het schap.
De Stichting Reclame Code (SRC) ontving in 2025 de meeste klachten over een reclamespotje van pretpark Walibi voor hun jaarlijkse Fright Nights. Over het spotje kwamen 889 klachten binnen. In totaal kreeg de stichting vorig jaar 6611 klachten.
In de video is een zichtbaar bange, bebloede vrouw te zien die opgesloten zit in een glazen kooi en wordt aangeboden als veilingobject. Vervolgens wordt er door verschillende griezelfiguren op de vrouw geboden. Aan het eind van de veiling zakt de vrouw door de bodem van de glazen kooi, waarna de ramen van de kooi besmeurd raken met bloed.
Over het reclamespotje ontstond grote ophef, waarop Walibi de reclame terugtrok. De Reclame Code Commissie oordeelde dat de video in strijd was met de Nederlandse Reclame Code. "Naar huidige maatschappelijke opvattingen kan niet worden aanvaard dat een vrouw op deze wijze als een veilingobject wordt uitgebeeld. Dit is in strijd met de menselijke waardigheid."
Het was een bijzonder weekend voor de Russische Federatie. Het land stond zaterdag zoals ieder jaar stil bij de lang vervlogen tijden waarin het nog eens een oorlog kon winnen.
“Het is bijzonder om te beseffen dat we in de jaren veertig van de vorige eeuw een alom gerespecteerde wereldmacht waren die een sterk leger als dat van Nazi-Duitsland kon verslaan”, verzucht Yelena Dimitrova (34) terwijl ze kijkt naar de piepende legerdriewieler die voorbijsukkelt. Haar driejarige zoontje is opgeroepen voor militaire dienst om het ding te besturen. “Wat zal men zich destijds goed hebben gevoeld over de kracht van onze natie.”
Ook na de Tweede Wereldoorlog bleef het Russische leger een sterke reputatie houden, weten veel toeschouwers. “We hebben grootmachten als Dagestan, Tsjetsjenië en Georgië op de knieën gedwongen”, vertelt Maxim Droebin enthousiast. “En dat niet alleen: we hebben het ooit heel lang volgehouden tegen Afghanistan. Dat waren nog eens tijden.” Juichend zwaait hij naar een kreupele kip die meeloopt.
Een dubbelganger van president Vladimir Poetin benadrukte in een toespraak dat 9 mei een historische datum is in de Russische geschiedenis. “Het is voor altijd de dag waarop we in 1945 de nazi's versloegen én de dag waarop we in 2026 van de Oekraïners deze herdenking mochten houden zonder door hun drones opgeblazen te worden. Laat geen Rus dat ooit vergeten.”
Rusland hoopt volgend jaar op 9 mei te vieren dat er nog altijd geen muiterij is uitgebroken en dat de Oekraïense inlichtingendiensten niet hebben ontdekt in welke bunker Poetin zich die dag precies schuilhoudt. Het Kremlin heeft Noord-Korea gevraagd om schoenen te leveren voor de deelnemers aan de parade. te vieren dat er nog altijd geen muiterij is uitgebroken.
