Voor het eerst in tien maanden heeft Max Verstappen weer een grand prix gewonnen. De race in Maleisië begon kolderiek: veel auto’s raakten in de war van de regenachtige omstandigheden en weigerden gas te geven.

Volgens twee bronnen van Reuters helpt de man, Saif K., de FBI nu met het opsporen van andere hackers van de groep. Eind september werd bekend dat de 24-jarige Nederlander Pepijn van der S. was gearresteerd vanwege betrokkenheid bij ShinyHunters.

Conservative leader defends plan to extend free childcare to high earners, as Tory conference begins in Birmingham today

On Friday the Times revealed that Katie Lam, the communities secretary, told a meeting in private earlier this year that the state pension system needs a fundamental overhaul.

Speaking in June, when she was a frontbencher but not yet in the shadow cabinet, Lam was asked at a meeting with activists if she thought the pensions triple lock was sustainable. She replied:

Ultimately I think what we will need in the end is an entirely new pension system.

I mean, a baby that is born today has a 20% chance of living to be 100 and I don’t think we can fund one in five people half of their lives, you know, for the first 20 and the last 30 years. But obviously if you are 90 you probably can’t go out and get a job right, so I think you have to be realistic about how you would taper that and bring that in across the population.

The fact is, the triple lock and pensions are things that people have contributed to.

Conservatives believe that if you have contributed, then you deserve to get your state pension.

Rallies have been mainstay of president’s brand but even some in his own party fear voters are sick of the sight of him

“Get your asses in that car.” That was Donald Trump’s order, he later recalled, to his motorcade after foul weather grounded Air Force One in Texas on Thursday. The 85-mile dash to Oklahoma at nearly 100mph was proof that nothing can keep Trump from a Trump rally.

Which might not be the good news for Republicans it once was. As the US president embarked on a 32-day campaign blitz aimed at helping them defend narrow congressional majorities in next month’s midterms, some fear that he is driving them towards an electoral wipeout.

Immigration court judge finds Unsafe Journeys Policy was applied unlawfully to two families

A decision by the Home Office to block mothers and children in Gaza from joining their families in the UK has been quashed by a court.

Families abroad who have had their applications approved to reunite with loved ones in the UK usually have to undergo biometric checks, including fingerprinting and facial images at a Visa Application Centre. But the VAC in Gaza has been closed since October 2023, and it is difficult to get out of the territory.

The co-founder of the Right to Roam campaign and author of The Book of Trespass discusses the Oxfordshire riverside community he calls home and how Hardwick Hall has been taken back by the people

On the banks of the Thames in South Oxfordshire, the Hardwick estate has been owned by the Rose family for generations. When Sir Charles Rose, a banker, sportsman, yachtsman and aviator, sped through the lanes in his Rolls-Royce in the early days of motoring, he inspired Kenneth Grahame to create Mr Toad in The Wind in the Willows. Grahame’s character became a symbol of decadent aristocracy whose foolishness leads to the temporary loss of a fine house to weasel-socialists.

Now Toad Hall has been taken over for good and Nick Hayes, artist, writer and co-founder of the Right to Roam campaign, has had a riverside view of this striking turn of events. When Hayes, who lives on a beautiful wide-beamed barge on the Thames, became the Hardwick estate’s artist-in-residence, he discovered that Rose’s heirs are, in effect, disinheriting themselves. The estate is gradually being turned into a charity which will be run by the tenants and the alternative community that has grown up in its shelter.

After Turkish police found drugs on board the Phoenician M, the ship’s chief mate, Ali Albokhari, was sentenced to 30 years in prison. His wife is still fighting to free him

In the early hours of 6 October 2023, Elena Albokhari was woken by a text message from her husband. Ali Albokhari, 42, a Finnish-Syrian with dark hair and cherubic features, was chief mate on a cargo ship named the Phoenician M and had been at sea since June. The 180-metre bulk carrier had docked at Ereğli in the Turkish Black Sea a few days earlier and Ali was due to return home to Helsinki soon, but instead of feeling excitement, Elena was growing increasingly worried about his welfare.

She’d had a similar feeling of unease a month earlier, when the ship had arrived at Barranquilla, Colombia. Ali had called in a panic to report that drugs had been found; Armada Nacional officers had marched onboard and uncovered holdalls stuffed with 137kg cocaine. Labels on the packages – the crest of Turkish football club Kayserispor – hinted at their destination: Turkey was the next port of call. “I never want to work as a seaman again,” Ali told Elena. “We are having big problems.”

It’s a powerful analogy that captured the popular consciousness, but the biological reality may be quite different

Humans have a cognitive quirk for the number three. Think of the many stories that use it, from The Three Little Pigs to Goldilocks and the Three Bears and The Three Musketeers. Public information and political campaigns use it for impact and ease of recall (“Stop, look and listen”; “See it. Say it. Sorted”; “Reduce, reuse, recycle”). And then there are psychological or philosophical frameworks: Freud with his id, ego and superego; Plato’s three parts of the human soul; the Holy Trinity.

Well, it turns out neuroscience isn’t immune from tri-mania. In 1959 Paul D MacLean set out a new way of thinking about the evolution and function of the brain, which he christened the “triune” – three-in-one – model. It quickly became one of best known and most enduring concepts in human biology. His idea was that a trio of distinct brains are layered inside our skulls, one on top of the other, all fighting to generate our feelings and thoughts.

While the US president’s meddling could win Brazil’s election for the right, curbing gang violence is what voters care about

Donald Trump has enjoyed very few foreign policy victories since returning to power. From failed wars to failed peace processes, his second term in office has been marked by one costly blunder on the world stage after another. In Latin America, though, the US president has a different story to tell.

His administration’s national security strategy outlined how the US wanted to “restore American preeminence in the Western Hemisphere”. It was a brazen document, laying out how his government would interfere in the political life of countries it considered part of its sphere of influence, rewarding governments and movements that are “broadly aligned with our principles and strategy”.

DEN HAAG (ANP) - Bij Nederlandse alarmcentrales hebben zich vooralsnog slechts enkele Nederlanders gemeld na het noodweer in de Spaanse regio Catalonië. Vanuit de regio Barcelona heeft de ANWB Alarmcentrale acht meldingen van gedupeerde Nederlandse vakantiegangers binnengekregen. Vier mensen meldden zich bij Eurocross.

Volgens de alarmcentrales gaat geen van de meldingen over persoonlijk letsel. De hulpvragen gaan vooral over extra reis- en verblijfskosten die gemaakt moeten worden, bijvoorbeeld doordat vluchten geannuleerd zijn. De ANWB kreeg ook vragen van mensen bij wie de stroom in het hotel is uitgevallen. Zij krijgen het advies contact op te nemen met hun reisorganisatie. Vakantiegangers met vragen over geannuleerde vluchten worden verwezen naar de luchtvaartmaatschappij. Ook adviseert de ANWB mensen de aanwijzingen van de lokale autoriteiten op te volgen.

De verwachting is dat het aantal hulpverzoeken verder zal oplopen.

Catalonië kreeg in de nacht van zaterdag op zondag te maken met hevige regenval. Dat leidde tot overstromingen en grote verkeersproblemen. Straten in en rond Barcelona liepen onder water en wegen werden afgesloten.

SEPANG (ANP) - Max Verstappen heeft zijn doel bereikt in dit voor hem wat moeizaam verlopen seizoen. De viervoudig wereldkampioen wilde minstens één grand prix winnen en dat lukte in Maleisië, waar de uitgestelde Grote Prijs van Bahrein werd verreden. "Ik ben ontzettend trots op het team. Dit is een heerlijke zege, zeker als je ziet hoe het dit jaar is gegaan", zei de Nederlander in het flashinterview op de baan.

De aanloop naar de race verliep nogal chaotisch. Er was uitstel door zware regenval en daarna door stilvallende auto's in de opwarmronden. Vervolgens had Verstappen, die ook voor het eerst dit seizoen van poleposition begon, een slechte start. Hij viel zelfs even terug naar de vierde plaats. "Het was heel hectisch, met allerlei verschillende zaken. Ik had geen power bij de start, dus het duurde even voordat ik op gang kwam", zei de coureur van Red Bull. "Het team maakte steeds de juiste beslissingen, ook met de banden. Ik kon geleidelijk steeds harder rijden en uiteindelijk de race controleren."

Kimi Antonelli eindigde als tweede achter Verstappen en de Italiaan van Mercedes verstevigde daarmee zijn leidende positie in het kampioenschap van de Formule 1. Hij liep uit op zijn teamgenoot George Russell, die in de slotfase van de race op het circuit van Sepang uitviel. Antonelli heeft 84 punten voorsprong op Russell en 106 punten op Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari). Verstappen staat nog steeds zesde, maar hij heeft wel evenveel punten als nummer vijf Lando Norris (McLaren), die een race meer heeft gewonnen.

Verstappen memoreerde ook nog even het succes van Red Bull als team. De Oostenrijkse renstal rijdt dit jaar voor het eerst met een zelfgebouwde motor. "Het is behoorlijk indrukwekkend dat we in het eerste jaar met onze eigen motor een race winnen."

Leidens Ontzet was weer gezellig hoor! Boel haring en wittebrood naar binnen gegooid. Hutspot gegeten. Orgel Joke. Bijna uit de zweefmolen gekukeld. Supervet concert van Yes-R gezien (huh hij leeft nog). Dronken studenten. Armin van Buuren. En natuurlijk de traditionele 'groepen jongeren' die elkaar aan het mes rijgen. Typisch Nederlands allemaal weer. Tot volgend jaar!
