NAVO-landen eens over 140 miljard euro voor Oekraïne in twee jaar

BRUSSEL (ANP) - De NAVO gaat Oekraïne toezeggen dit jaar en volgend jaar 70 miljard euro vrij te maken voor hulp aan dat land. De leiders van de 32 NAVO-landen zullen dat uitspreken op hun top in Ankara, zijn de lidstaten volgens ingewijden overeengekomen.

Veel van het geld is al door de Europese Unie of door landen afzonderlijk beloofd. Maar Oekraïnes bondgenoten wilden Oekraïne verzekeren van een gestage stroom steun en het bedrag daarom vastleggen in de slotverklaring van de komende NAVO-top. Dat zou bovendien moeten helpen de lasten beter te verdelen. Nu komt het leeuwendeel daarvan neer op Noordwest-Europese landen als Nederland.


EU zet zes Russen op sanctielijst om vergiftiging Navalny

BRUSSEL (ANP) - De EU-lidstaten hebben er vrijdag mee ingestemd om zes Russen op de sanctielijst te zetten die betrokken zijn bij de productie van epibatidine, het vergif waar de Russische oppositieleider Aleksej Navalny hoogstwaarschijnlijk mee werd vermoord. Het gaat om wetenschappers en onderzoekers die werkzaam zijn in de militaire sector, zo staat in een persbericht.

De EU ziet hen als de ontwikkelaars van een chemisch wapen. Door hen op de sanctielijst te zetten, krijgen ze een inreisverbod en worden hun financiële tegoeden in de EU bevroren.

Onder de zes zit onder meer Igor Babkin, hoofd van het laboratorium van het Russische wetenschappelijke centrum Signal. De EU heeft nu in totaal 31 Russen en zes Russische instituten of bedrijven op de sanctielijst gezet vanwege het gebruik en de verspreiding van chemische wapens.

Navalny overleed in 2024 onder verdachte omstandigheden in een Siberisch strafkamp. Onder meer Nederland heeft geconcludeerd dat hij werd vergiftigd.


Letschert trots op plan voor verplichte stagevergoeding

DEN HAAG (ANP) - Onderwijsminister Rianne Letschert (D66) is "trots" op het kabinetsplan om een verplichte stagevergoeding voor studenten in het mbo, hbo en wo wettelijk vast te leggen. "Stages zijn essentieel in de opleiding en in de voorbereiding op de arbeidsmarkt. Dat verdient erkenning én waardering, ook in financiële zin", aldus de bewindsvrouw.

De verplichting schrijft overigens niet voor hoe hoog die vergoeding minimaal moet zijn. Daar is volgens de minister bewust niet voor gekozen, omdat het aan de sectoren en stagebedrijven zelf is om een passend bedrag vast te stellen. Daarnaast zou het risico bestaan dat werkgevers dan minder stageplekken aanbieden. Wel houdt Letschert een slag om de arm dat er in de wet indien nodig toch een minimumbedrag kan komen. Bijvoorbeeld als de vergoedingen heel laag blijven.

Korte stages en stages in het buitenland worden uitgezonderd van de verplichte vergoeding.


Minister heeft nog geen plan voor huisvesting groepen in de knel

DEN HAAG (ANP) - Minister Eleanor Boekholt-O'Sullivan (Volkshuisvesting, D66) heeft nog geen concreet nieuw plan om snel meer mensen in de knel aan een woning te helpen. In samenwerking met provincies, gemeenten en woningcorporaties zijn wel "bouwstenen opgesteld", die evenwel pas na de zomer tot concrete afspraken moeten leiden. Wat die bouwstenen precies behelzen, is niet duidelijk.

Doel is om tot "aanvullende vormen van huisvesting" te komen, zodat de druk op de voorraad sociale huurwoningen afneemt, meldt Boekholt-O'Sullivan. Zij denkt daarbij aan flexwoningen, ombouw van leegstaande kantoren, gedeelde woningen en tijdelijke woonplekken voor statushouders. Stuk voor stuk oplossingen die al veel langer worden genoemd.

Op veel plaatsen wordt volgens Boekholt-O'Sullivan al hard gewerkt aan meer betaalbare huurwoningen voor met name starters, mensen die door bijvoorbeeld een relatiebreuk snel woonruimte nodig hebben, en erkende vluchtelingen die vanuit een opvangcentrum naar een reguliere woning moeten. Maar om dat op grotere schaal voor elkaar te krijgen, is "een extra impuls" nodig.

Zorgvuldig

Boekholt-O'Sullivan erkent dat zij de problemen bij het huisvesten van deze groepen "liever vandaag dan morgen" opgelost zou zien. Maar meer haast zegt zij niet te kunnen maken. "Ik wil dit zorgvuldig doen, stap voor stap, zodat ik weet dat alle partijen aan boord blijven die het moeten uitvoeren. Anders is het een sprookje, en het moet echt leiden tot een oplossing."

De minister wil allereerst actie van gemeenten die nu te weinig statushouders huisvesten. Dat gold in de eerste helft van dit jaar voor zeven op de tien gemeenten, bleek eerder deze week uit een analyse van het ANP. Zij krijgen anderhalf jaar de tijd om die achterstand "versneld" weg te werken.

Boekholt-O'Sullivan heeft "kwartiermakers" aangesteld vanuit het Rijk en de koepelorganisaties van gemeenten en woningcorporaties (VNG en Aedes). Zij vormen samen een "aanjaagteam" dat in het hele land "goede voorbeelden" gaat verzamelen waar anderen hun voordeel mee kunnen doen.

The US turns 250 and Taylor Swift gets married. I think we all know which is a bigger deal | Marina Hyde

The cultural phenomenon is beginning her latest era in a castle built inside Madison Square Garden. It’s the perfect celebration for our post-privacy age

It is a cast-iron rule of the comments-section era that there is absolutely no celebrity you can write about without some person dialling in to post a contemptuous: “Who?” Did I say some person? Forgive me: I think I might have meant some guy. Strangely, you never see a “who?” below articles about sport, as though the posters have somehow grasped that ostentatiously announcing that they have precisely no idea about Ousmane Dembélé is not some status-symbol flex, and could secure them quite a painful wedgie.

I am looking forward to catching my first “who?” about Taylor Swift on the occasion of her wedding to Travis Kelce, which is taking place – perhaps you’ve heard? – in New York today. Because of course Miss Americana and her NFL star fiance are getting married over the Fourth of July weekend. And not just any Fourth of July, but the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, drafted by Thomas Jefferson. (I know: who?)

Cocktail of the week: Society Manchester’s Salford fog – recipe | The good mixer

A refreshing Mancunian twist on two classic British gin-based drinks, infused with elderflower liqueur and earl grey

This is a reimagining of two classic British drinks, the English garden and the London fog, but with a Mancunian twist. It brings together gin, earl grey, elderflower and honey in a refreshing, lightly floral cocktail that’s perfectly suited to drinking in the garden on a hot day. We like to champion local producers, so use Salford Distillery’s gin, but any well-balanced, citrus-forward dry gin will work.

‘I saw Herbie Hancock play with D’Angelo, and got my head blown off!’: the festival keeping alive jazz’s golden age

From Miles Davis to Count Basie and Etta James to Prince, Rotterdam’s North Sea jazz festival has hosted the biggest names in music. As the event turns 50, musicians and organisers share their favourite memories from past years – and tell us why jazz isn’t dead

For a weekend in July each year, a vast warehouse complex in the port city of Rotterdam becomes home to the biggest names in jazz. Under the banner of the North Sea jazz festival, the labyrinthine, windowless space has played host to performances from the likes of Miles Davis, free jazz pioneer Ornette Coleman, singer Etta James, saxophonist Wayne Shorter and even Prince.

“We’ve had every major figure in jazz play for us over the past five decades,” senior programme manager Sander Grande says. “It’s the place where all the musicians want to hang and where audiences come to see art that is true and beautiful.”

‘Suddenly I was a celebrity. I didn’t want to be!’ Sue Johnston on fame, loneliness and her new robot pal

She’s been a soap icon, a Royle and even a zombie pensioner. Now the actor is starring in Ann Droid, Diane Morgan’s madcap comedy about an elderly woman and her cybernetic companion

Sue Johnston is the kind of actor who usually can’t stand seeing herself on screen, but for Ann Droid she made an exception. The new sitcom by Diane Morgan and Sarah Kendall stars the 82-year-old as a recent widow whose son hires a humanoid robot called Linda (played with delightful uncanniness by Morgan herself) to assist her after he moves out. The results are initially farcical: Linda is a dated – and therefore relatively cheap – model who lacks the intelligence of newer variants and attempts to cheer people up by blasting Cotton Eye Joe at them. Yet the pair soon become inseparable. Johnston describes the show as “rich with humour and love”. When she watched it back, she found it so absorbing that “I forgot it was me – I very rarely do that and I just enjoyed it.”

Ann Droid is worth raving about on its own terms – it’s rambunctiously funny and exceptionally poignant – but it is clear Johnston’s enthusiasm stems from somewhere else too. “I’m proud of Diane and I just want it to work for her,” she says with feeling. The pair met on the set of the Sky sitcom Rovers before Morgan made it big with Philomena Cunk and Motherland and kept in touch. “Which you don’t with everyone. We’re both silly about our dogs; we just made a connection.” She was thrilled to reunite. “There’s a lot about Diane that reminds me of Caroline Aherne. They’ve got that northern, straight-face, cut-through humour. And they’re geniuses.”

It’s America’s 250th birthday. And Black Americans are sitting out the celebrations | Morgan Jerkins

The 250th anniversary is arriving among Black communities as a whisper instead of a roar

Not soon after Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration, there emerged a viral illustration of four Black women sitting at the top of a building while watching the world burn at a distance. They are observing with coffee cups in hand. An American flag hangs over the edge. If that exhaustion hadn’t been made clear enough, Black people, particularly across TikTok and Threads, have urged one another to “not give them a reaction”.

The “them” is white people who find Black rage exciting and lucrative for their own personal gain. We’re not allowing our anger to become spectacle. We’re not shouting any more. What is most important is to stay alive, take care of one another, and to allow ourselves to step to the forefront for the rights that they have taken for granted as we’ve risked our lives to protect them. There is an old African American proverb: “If you can’t hear, then you must feel.”

Wimbledon 2026: Fonseca in action; Djokovic, Sabalenka and Sinner to come – live

All the latest news from Friday’s live action at SW19
SW19 diary: birds stop play | Order of play | Mail Katy

It seems the injury problem for Kalinskaya is to do with her left hamstring, but the treatment seems to have done the trick, because the Russian races to 15-40 on Bencic’s serve, the first break points of the second set. Bencic blocks them both, securing four straight points to hold for 6-4, 4-4.

Safiullin strolls to 0-15, 0-30, 0-40 on Fonseca’s serve; it looks as if the Russian qualifier won’t even have to serve this second set out. Safiullin doesn’t win the first set point but does the second, when he drills deep to Fonseca’s backhand side … and the Brazilian can only net! Safiullin leads 6-3, 6-3. But … Fonseca did come from two sets down to defeat Djokovic a month ago, as the 19-year-old came of age at the French Open, and he’ll be hoping to draw on the spirit of that victory now.

Biting the hand that feeds IT — Enterprise Technology News and Analysis

NetNut cracked as Google and FBI target 2 million-device botnet

Tech companies working with US law enforcement "significantly degraded" the NetNut residential proxy network as part of an ongoing effort to disrupt the tools cybercriminals use to conceal their activity, say researchers. The work was carried out by Google, Lumen, Shadowserver, the FBI, and others, and marks a continuation of the IPIDEA proxy network disruption from January. According to Google Cloud, those working on the operation believe NetNut was among the most popular residential proxy network providers and had at least 2 million devices enrolled in its botnet, comprising mainly small TV-streaming hardware. Crims often use residential proxy networks to make it look like their traffic is actually coming from legit homes and businesses. In the same way that other residential proxy networks expand their pool of enrolled devices, NetNut distributed its own SDK via these devices. Proxy providers often approach users under the guise of monetizing their spare bandwidth, paying them a fee in exchange for letting their SDK run on their devices. The official advice is, of course, to refuse any offers of this kind. Not only does it help feed the cybercrime ecosystem, but it can also lead to vulnerabilities elsewhere in home networks. NetNut offered its own standalone proxy networks, as well as mobile and datacenter proxies, and a slew of scrapers and datasets. However, it also offered a reseller program, and experts believe many other residential proxy networks are powered by NetNut's own, which means the disruption may have further downstream effects. "While we expect this disruption to have a larger ripple effect across the residential proxy ecosystem, observations after the disruption of IPIDEA proved that individual networks can appear resilient," Google's Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) said. "What we have observed is that when faced with the degradation of their own botnet, proxy operators begin buying capacity from their competitors, effectively becoming a reseller. "We recognize that creating a lasting disruption in this fluid ecosystem means we must scale our efforts to target the infrastructure of several interconnected providers. We will continue to observe the composition of the NetNut network and map out how its peers adapt to this action." Residential proxy networks are not illegal, although they are often abused for cybercrime. These networks are ostensibly pitched as a means to shore up online privacy, and promote ideals such as freedom of expression without risk of being traced. However, the same privacy-preserving features of these networks are used by cybercriminals to mask their malicious activity. They enroll ordinary devices, which are connected to innocent residential networks, at scale and offer them to customers as exit nodes. Cybercriminals can make use of these networks to channel their traffic through these nodes, making the traffic appear to originate from an IP address they do not control. "In a single week during June 2026, GTIG observed 316 distinct threat clusters using suspected NetNut exit nodes, including cybercriminal and espionage groups," said Google. "These bad actors can use NetNut to mask their origin IP address when accessing victim environments, accessing their own infrastructure, and conducting password spray attacks." Reports also suggest that NetNut has a role to play in other botnet families. GTIG said it found plugin components for large-scale botnets such as Badbox 2.0, while other public reports have noted signs of NetNut being used to infect devices with Mirai variants. The Register asked GTIG why NetNut's second domain (netnut.io) remains online, while netnut.com returns a "This website has been seized" splash page, but it did not immediately reply. Google's announcement hinted at similar takedowns to take place in the future, as the residential proxy network market continues to grow. However, it said these ad hoc disruptions are only effective for so long, and that a long-term approach would require support from ISPs, mobile platforms, and other technology companies. ®
