ISLAMABAD (ANP/DPA/RTR) - Om te proberen de oorlog in Iran te bezweren overleggen zondag en maandag de ministers van Buitenlandse Zaken van Egypte, Pakistan, Saudi-Arabië en Turkije in de Pakistaanse hoofdstad Islamabad. Dat heeft de Pakistaanse minister Ishaq Dar bekendgemaakt. De bewindslieden spreken naar verwachting ook met de premier van het land, Shehbaz Sharif.
De Pakistaanse premier heeft met de Iraanse president Masoud Pezeshkian getelefoneerd en die zei hem dat er vertrouwen nodig is om gesprekken voor bemiddeling in de regio op gang te brengen. Pezeshkian prees Sharif voor de Pakistaanse diplomatieke pogingen om te bemiddelen. Sharif heeft de Iraanse president verteld over zijn contacten met de VS en de Arabische Golfstaten. Hij zei dat het gesprek langer dan een uur heeft geduurd.
BERGA (ANP) - Wielrenner Tom Pidcock gaat niet meer van start in de Ronde van Catalonië na zijn val in een ravijn in de vijfde etappe. Zijn ploeg Pinarello-Q36.5 meldt dat ze de Brit uit de wedstrijd halen.
"Hij heeft verwondingen door zijn crash, met name schade aan zijn gewricht en banden van zijn rechterknie en ook aan zijn rechterpols", aldus teamarts Lorenz Emmert. "Verder onderzoek volgt in de komende dagen in het herstelproces."
De wielrenner schoot in de vijfde rit op 30 kilometer van de finish in de afdaling het ravijn in nadat hij een bocht verkeerd inschatte. "We hebben alles geprobeerd om doorrijden mogelijk te maken", zei Pidcock. "Ik heb gisteren gestreden om de rit uit te rijden zodat ik de mogelijkheid had om verder te rijden. Nu focus ik me op het herstel."
Pidcock won eerder dit seizoen de eendagswedstrijd Milaan-Turijn. Hij eindigde als tweede in Milaan-Sanremo achter Tadej Pogacar.
Charles Leclerc is hopeful that, with a “good start”, he and Ferrari can put the Mercedes cars under pressure in the Japanese Grand Prix, with the Monegasque starting from P4 after “pushing to the max” during Qualifying.
Lando Norris admits he is satisfied starting fifth for the Japanese Grand Prix after a difficult weekend so far has meant the reigning World Champion has spent more time "watching the TV than driving in the car".

My next 'DIY July' project;
A floating shelf to go right above the door frame of both my rooms!
A bracket is made using a piece of timber with dowels (fixed with small nails for strength) and the shelf is slid into place.
Holes are drilled with the assistance of the dowelling jig.

When Mark Linel Padecio is at home in Danao City, Cebu, in the Philippines, family life lies “within a rhythm of schedules, studies and screens”. His 10-year-old daughter, Xianthee, is shaped by the city. “Her days are filled with lessons and responsibilities, and she’s a diligent, serious student, so smiles from her are rare and often reserved,” Padecio says.
Along with his wife, Padecio owns a small farm in Dapdap, a 30-minute drive away. After a fleeting rainfall ended a long and punishing drought last year, the family paid a visit. “Rivers frequently dry up for months, forcing families to suffer crop failures, to ration and face heightened risks of illness,” Padecio says. “So even if the river only trickles briefly, it feels miraculous, instantly transforming hardship into relief and hope.”

Last week, the former Chelsea footballer Jorginho made a post on social media claiming that, after his daughter walked past the singer Chappell Roan’s table at a restaurant and smiled at her, a security guard accosted the girl. The security guard apparently spoke “in an extremely aggressive manner”, causing her to be “extremely shaken and [cry] a lot”.
If the story is true, it doesn’t look good for Roan. This wasn’t creepy paparazzi or red carpet hecklers; it was a child. Roan has apologized, adding that the man involved in the incident in São Paulo was not her personal security, and that she didn’t see the girl.

Online content creators are not just building fake images and videos of prominent public figures, they are also fabricating people and using them in military contexts, which can make them money and even serve as effective propaganda, according to artificial intelligence researchers.
Some of these online avatars are sexualized images of women wearing camouflage garb that have generated a significant audience and helped create an idealized image of political figures like Donald Trump, even if the viewer knows the content is not real, according to experts.
