Volkswagen boss backs EU plan to bolster domestic European industry

Oliver Blume says ‘Made in Europe’ rules to counter rapid rise of lower-price Chinese brands ‘must reward real value creation’

The boss of Volkswagen has backed EU proposals to boost its domestic industry, arguing European carmakers need to be able to “compete under comparable conditions” with Chinese rivals.

Oliver Blume said “Made in Europe” rules from the EU “must reward real value creation in Europe”, speaking in Paris before the motor show this week.

Tension, ‘cheat’ banners and inflatable bananas: Manchester City’s welcome to Anfield

An incendiary atmosphere greeted the former Premier League champions for their first game since being found guilty of breaking financial fair play rules

Fans lined the streets of Anfield in preparation for the arrival of the Manchester City team bus, with pyrotechnics and pure vitriol adding to the tense pre-match atmosphere. Every vantage point was taken, with spectators standing on walls to get a glimpse of the enemy, only for the coach to sneak in from the opposite side of the ground to avoid confrontation.

The subterfuge defused a volatile situation that could have turned into an incendiary one. Tensions were high on Merseyside. Since the City takeover in 2008, Liverpool have finished second to their rivals on three occasions, although only one of those falls within the parameters of the investigation into City’s financial breaches of Premier League rules. Liverpool supporters are aggrieved, feeling they would have won more trophies had City not circumnavigated the rules to help sign elite players.

Unidentified projectile strikes King Khalid airport as escalating attacks threaten to draw more countries into Yemen conflict

A projectile hit a passenger terminal at the airport in Riyadh on Sunday, the day after a deadly missile attack on the facility carried out by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebel group killed 13 people.

An unidentified projectile hit terminal 4 at King Khalid international airport, starting a fire and causing injuries, according to Saudi authorities. Air defences also intercepted a cruise missile in the vicinity of the airport. It was the latest of several attacks on the airport in the past week.

The Guardian view on mental health: overdiagnosis is not the problem facing young people | Editorial

Parity of esteem with physical healthcare remains a distant prospect. Ministers must do more to tackle rising distress

Perhaps the single most important finding of the independent review into mental health, ADHD and autism in England, published last Friday, is that mental distress across the population, and particularly young people, has substantially worsened. Its chair, Prof Peter Fonagy, told the BBC that the former health secretary Wes Streeting had been “completely wrong” to suggest that conditions and disorders were being overdiagnosed.

Mr Streeting acknowledged his mistake. But some rightwing politicians and commentators have leapt on the notion that medicalisation of ordinary states of mind is behind the huge rise in young people seeking help. This review should bury that idea. Instead, this should be a moment to face facts. First, that the rises in psychological distress, and the need for support with neurodevelopmental differences, are real and tied to social changes. Second, that current services are not up to what is being asked of them.

The Guardian view on the US, Russia and the international criminal court: Trump’s assault on the rule of law intensifies | Editorial

A fuel deal with Vladimir Putin, and sanctions against the legal institution, ram home the president’s belief that might is right

On Friday, Donald Trump drove home his belief that might is right and the rule of law is an obstacle rather than an essential foundation stone of international order. First came the escalated assault on the international criminal court (ICC), sanctioning the body itself. Then he announced a deal with Russia to buy diesel.

The US has long chafed at the notion of being bound by the rule of law that it espoused publicly. That hypocrisy now appears as a lesser vice. The president has declared that “my own morality” is all that constrains him. His brazen flouting of the law, embrace of dictators and rhetorical attacks all undermine global standards.

Ian Berry obituary

Photojournalist whose arresting images captured human disaster from Vietnam to Aberfan, and most notably in apartheid South Africa

On 21 March 1960, a crowd gathered outside a police station in a Transvaal township, part of a nationwide protest against apartheid pass laws used to control where black South Africans could live, work and travel. A young British photojournalist pushed his way to the front and took a few pictures of police across the fence who were standing atop their armoured personnel carriers. With nothing much happening, he turned back and headed for his car. Then – without warning – there was the sound of heavy gunfire.

The photographer, Ian Berry, who has died aged 92, captured images of the carnage, which soon became known around the world as the Sharpeville massacre. Dozens of demonstrators were killed, many shot in the back as they fled, and hundreds were injured in what turned out to be a turning point in the country’s history.

European football: Lazio join Inter at top of Serie A as Roma held at Como

  • Gattuso’s side ease to 3-1 win against 10-man Monza

  • Roma frustrated after goalless draw away at Como

Lazio moved level on points with Inter at the top of Serie A with a 3-1 win over Monza on Sunday as 10-man Roma played out the first goalless draw of the Italian season at Como.

Under Gennaro Gattuso, who has bounced back after his failure at the helm of the Italian national side who missed out on the 2026 World Cup, Lazio continued their strong start to the season. Still unbeaten, the Roman outfit secured a fifth victory in six matches to pull level on 16 points with Inter, who beat Parma 3-0 at San Siro on Saturday.

Italy - Malè

A prima vista potrebbe essere ancora l’ingresso di una casa abitata.

Poi si notano i dettagli: i numeri civici cambiati nel tempo e lasciati uno sopra l’altro, il nuovo 9 applicato sulla parete, i campanelli rotti e il lucchetto usato come chiusura di fortuna.

La porta conserva l’aspetto di un ingresso.
La casa, invece, non sembra più aspettare nessuno.

Malè, Trentino.

一見すると、今も人が暮らしている家の入口に見える。

けれど、よく見ると違う。長い時間の中で変わった番地の表示が重なり、壁には新しい9番が付いている。呼び鈴は壊れ、扉は南京錠で閉じられている。

入口の形は残っている。
けれど、この家はもう誰かを待っていないように見える。

イタリア、トレンティーノ州マレ。

At first glance, this could still be the entrance to an occupied house.

Then the details become visible: house numbers changed over time and left one above another, the new number 9 fixed to the wall, broken doorbells, and a padlock used as a makeshift closure.

The door still looks like an entrance.
The house, however, no longer seems to be waiting for anyone.

Malè, Trentino.

US Agency To Rewrite Rules To Finally Address Vehicle Headlight Glare

America's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration "said on Tuesday that it will rewrite its vehicle lighting standards," reports Reuters, "to address concerns about headlight glare and allow for the latest safety-improving lighting technologies."

NHTSA said it plans to improve rules for LEDs, dusk sensors, automatic high beams and replaceable light sources. The agency will also evaluate headlamp height and aim and how they impact driver visibility and address headlight glare and make appropriate changes.

Complaints about glare from headlights have increased and some lawmakers have urged the government to set a maximum headlight brightness standard. A growing number of taller trucks and SUVs on roads has also led to more complaints about glare. LEDs, which now account for most headlights in new cars, are much brighter than traditional halogen headlights... The issue still accounts for a small number of nighttime crashes, according to a study last year from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The study noted that headlight glare contributes to far fewer crashes than insufficient visibility...

Federal headlight standards for minimum and maximum brightness have not changed since 1997, IIHS noted. The study found that drivers older than 70 appear to be most affected by headlight glare. In 2022, NHTSA said it would allow automakers to install adaptive driving beam headlights on new vehicles. The devices adjust the headlight beam pattern to dim portions directed at other vehicles.

Koop geen dure groenten, maar kook met het seizoen mee: deze kok heeft de gouden tip

Waarom zou je een komkommer voor 2 euro of een bloemkool voor 4 euro kopen? Ook al is het maart, er zijn prachtige en goedkope seizoensgroenten waar je ook voor kunt kiezen. Kok Nel Schellekens uit Winterswijk onthult haar gouden groentetips bij Omroep GLD.

“Ik begrijp dat je zin hebt in bloemkool en dus die bloemkool koopt, hoor. Ik heb zelf ook weleens zin in bloemkool of asperges, maar ik leef erg naar het seizoen. Waarom? Omdat ik vind dat het nodig is, in plaats van op alle momenten maar te wensen wat we willen. Aardbeien in de winter, bloemkool in februari? Het is gewoon het seizoen niet”, legt Nel uit.

SeizoensgroentenBoerenkool is nu juist wél in het seizoen, maar in sommige supermarkten zijn de schappen leeg omdat niet alle boerenkool ook echt van Nederlandse bodem komt. “We importeren het goedkoper dan we het produceren. Dat maakt het heel bizar, als je je daar eens in verdiept”, zegt de kok.

Maart is een moeilijke maand voor mensen die ervan houden om met verse producten te koken. Wintergroenten zijn over hun top heen en de 'nieuwe groenten' zijn er nog niet. Toch is er één voedselsoort die er volgens Schellekens met kop en schouder bovenuit stijgt: bonen.

Lekkere, voedzame vleesvervanger“Bonen zijn zó lekker. Denk aan kapucijners, witte bonen, boerderijbonen, heilige boontjes, citroenboontjes, bruine bonen. In de zomer worden ze gedroogd en voordat je ze kunt koken, moeten ze weken. Dat kun je de avond ervoor vast doen bijvoorbeeld. Ze moeten zo'n acht uur wellen. Het koken kost ook wat tijd, maar er zijn tips om dat sneller te doen”, legt Nel uit.

“Bonen zitten boordevol eiwitten en zijn de vleesvervanger bij uitstek. Als je eigenlijk geen vlees meer wilt eten, kom je uit bij kievitsbonen en borlottibonen. Die zitten hoog in de eiwitten en zijn heel voedzaam. Als je daar bijvoorbeeld uien aan toevoegt, heb je een heel voedzame maaltijd die staat als een huis. Weet je wat bonen zo lekker maakt? Het zoete, dat maakt ze lekker. Je kunt met bonen zo veel lekkers maken. Je hebt die dure bloemkool, komkommer en paprika niet nodig”, besluit Schellekens.

EINDHOVEN (ANP) - De hockeyers van Oranje-Rood hebben zich geplaatst voor de finaleweek van de Euro Hockey League. De ploeg uit Eindhoven won ook de tweede wedstrijd in de eerste ronde van het Europese toernooi. Voor eigen publiek werd het Engelse Wimbledon met 5-3 verslagen.

Tijmen Reyenga maakte in het tweede kwart het derde doelpunt voor Oranje-Rood, waarna Liam Ansel scoorde namens Wimbledon (3-1).

In het derde kwart bracht Fred Newbold de spanning terug met een tweede treffer voor de Engelse ploeg. Henrik Mertgens tekende voor de 4-2. In het vierde kwart kwam Wimbledon via een strafcorner opnieuw terug; Sam Hooper maakte 4-3. Walker zette de eindstand op het scorebord.
