Originally opened in September 1999 as South Australia's official third Warehouse outlet. In early 2024, it moved down south to the newer building nearby (originally supposed to be Masters Home Improvement which never opened for trade). This one here is now confirmed to be the first one in South Australia to be demolished and replaced with a new retail centre.

Amazon appears to have prematurely acknowledged layoffs inside AWS after an internal email referencing "organizational changes" and "impacted colleagues" was mistakenly sent to cloud employees. CNBC reports: "Changes like this are hard on everyone," Colleen Aubrey, senior vice president of applied AI solutions at Amazon Web Services, wrote in an email viewed by CNBC. "These decisions are difficult and are made thoughtfully as we position our organization and AWS for future success." The note also references a post from Amazon's HR boss Beth Galetti and said the company notified "impacted colleagues in our organization." The subject of the email mentions "Project Dawn," and the email says it was "canceled," possibly indicating it was recalled by the sender after the fact. It's unclear what Project Dawn refers to.

The job cuts come after Amazon announced in October that it would lay off 14,000 corporate employees. At the time, the company indicated the cuts would continue in 2026 as it found "additional places we can remove layers." Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said the layoffs were meant to reduce management layers and bureaucracy inside the company. He also predicted last June that efficiency gains from AI would shrink Amazon's corporate staff in the coming years.

De Dienst Toeslagen weigert jarenlang bewust informatie te verstrekken aan slachtoffers van het toeslagenschandaal, terwijl dit wettelijk verplicht is. Uit een interne memo die via de Wet open overheid openbaar is geworden, blijkt dat ambtenaren structureel documenten achterhouden die onderbouwen waarom ouders het stempel 'Opzet/Grove Schuld' kregen.

Werkafspraak boven de wet

Het memo, opgesteld door de Afdeling Vaktechniek in september 2025, erkent dat deze werkwijze "op gespannen voet staat met informatieverplichtingen uit de Algemene wet bestuursrecht". De Dienst geeft zelfs toe dat de aanpak "niet houdbaar is in beroep" – een rechter zou het afkeuren. Desondanks blijft het beleid gehandhaafd vanwege een 'interne werkafspraak'. Die Die afspraak is kennelijk belangrijker dan de wet.

Het ministerie van Financiën reageert met de opmerking dat "de inzet altijd is geweest te voldoen aan wettelijke verplichtingen". Maar volgens advocaat Khadija Bozia, voorzitter van een werkgroep advocaten die toeslagenouders bijstaan, duurt de wanpraktijk tot op vandaag voort.[ bnnvara]​[ ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws]​

Gedupeerden staan met lege handen

Hoogleraar staats- en bestuursrecht Ymre Schuurmans van de Universiteit Leiden noemt de beschreven werkwijze "stuitend". Zij kent geen ander voorbeeld van een overheidsorgaan dat bewust structureel stukken achterhoudt. "Als burger moet je een overheidsbesluit kunnen controleren," aldus Schuurmans. "Maar als je de onderliggende stukken niet krijgt, sta je met lege handen tegenover de overheid".

Hersteloperatie onder druk

De onthulling komt op een moment dat de hersteloperatie toch al onder druk staat. De Inspectie Overheidsinformatie en Erfgoed constateerde in november 2025 dat de informatiehuishouding bij de Dienst Toeslagen nog steeds niet op orde is. Het ministerie blijft daarom tot eind 2026 onder verlengd toezicht staan

Inmiddels hebben circa 42.000 ouders de status 'gedupeerd' gekregen en €30.000 ontvangen. Maar voor volledig rechtsherstel is transparantie essentieel. Advocaat Bozia: "Voor het herstel van het vertrouwen van gedupeerden in de rechtsstaat is dit een vreselijke omissie".

WASHINGTON (ANP) - De botsing tussen een vliegtuig en een helikopter in de buurt van Washington in januari vorig jaar was het gevolg van een systeemfout en was 100 procent te voorkomen. Dat zei Jennifer Homendy, voorzitter van de Amerikaanse onderzoeksraad voor vervoersveiligheid NTSB, bij een hoorzitting over het ongeluk tegen journalisten, aldus The Washington Post.

Bij het ongeluk kwamen 67 mensen om het leven.

Volgens Homendy besteden de Amerikaanse luchtvaartautoriteiten (FAA) geen aandacht aan meldingen van bijna-botsingen tussen vliegtuigen en is Reagan National Airport, waar het ongeluk gebeurde, niet de enige plek waar meer risico bestaat.

Personeel overbelast

Personeel in de verkeerstorens is overbelast en mensen die aan de bel trekken over de risico's worden niet gehoord, aldus Homendy. Personeel van de FAA wil niet met naam en toenaam worden geïnterviewd uit angst voor gevolgen, schrijft The Washington Post.

De belangrijkste conclusie over het ongeluk is dat de route van de helikopter niet had mogen bestaan, aldus de NTSB. Inmiddels heeft de FAA deze geschrapt.
