Verenigde Staten vallen Iran aan als vergeldingsactie

WASHINGTON (ANP/RTR) - De Amerikaanse krijgsmacht meldt vrijdag een aanval op Iran te hebben uitgevoerd. Er wordt gesproken van een reactie op een aanval op een commercieel schip. De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump verklaarde eerder op de dag dat Iran het staakt-het-vuren had geschonden.


Kleine minnen op Wall Street, Apple toont wat herstel

NEW YORK (ANP) - De Amerikaanse aandelenbeurzen zijn vrijdag met kleine koersdalingen het weekend ingegaan. Apple stond bij de winnaars op Wall Street na een dag eerder nog flink te zijn gedaald door het nieuws dat het techconcern de prijzen van onder meer MacBooks en iPads verhoogt vanwege de sterk gestegen kosten voor geheugenchips. Chipbedrijf Micron Technology deed juist een stap terug na de sterke stijging een dag eerder.

Apple klom meer dan 2 procent. Op donderdag daalde het aandeel nog meer dan 6 procent. Micron Technology leverde 6,7 procent in. Een dag eerder sprong het aandeel nog bijna 16 procent omhoog dankzij goed ontvangen kwartaalcijfers en vooruitzichten van het bedrijf.

De Dow-Jonesindex sloot 0,1 procent lager op 51.876,11 punten. De brede S&P 500 zakte een fractie tot 7354,02 punten. De technologiebeurs Nasdaq daalde 0,2 procent op 25.297,61 punten. Het was de vijfde verliesdag op rij voor de Nasdaq.

Ook andere chipbedrijven verloren na de flinke winsten in de voorgaande handelssessie. Het sentiment in de chipsector werd mede geraakt door het bericht dat AI-bedrijf OpenAI zijn beursgang mogelijk kan uitstellen tot volgend jaar na de tegenvallende prestaties van SpaceX sinds de beursgang eerder deze maand. Qualcomm, Lam Research, Applied Materials en SanDisk verloren tot ruim 10 procent na de stevige plussen op donderdag.

De olieprijzen gingen verder omlaag doordat er steeds meer olietankers door de Straat van Hormuz varen. Amerikaanse olie zakte tot onder 70 dollar per vat. Oliemaatschappijen als ExxonMobil, Chevron en ConocoPhillips werden tot 0,7 procent lager gezet.

Farmaceuten en medische bedrijven waren daarentegen in trek bij beleggers in New York. Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, AbbVie en Eli Lilly wonnen tot 7 procent. De afgelopen tijd zijn er meerdere grote overnamedeals in de farmasector geweest.

Verder kwam er ook nog nieuws over het Amerikaanse consumentenvertrouwen. Dat is in juni verbeterd nadat het vertrouwen in mei nog naar het laagste niveau ooit zakte door zorgen over de hoge inflatie bij huishoudens. Een hoge inflatie schaadt de koopkracht van consumenten.

Taylor Swift’s girlhood era is ending. Where does she go next? – Stateside with Kai and Carter

Over the past two decades, Taylor Swift has changed the music industry, and how we think about girlhood. From songs like Fifteen about first love and heartbreak to introspective tracks like Mirrorball from Folklore, Swift has chronicled the emotional lives of young women in a way few artists have. Her music says that the experiences of girlhood deserve to be immortalized. But as fans celebrate her upcoming marriage and the 20th anniversary of her debut album, Carter Sherman and the Guardian's deputy music editor, Laura Snapes, ask: is she leaving that stage of her life behind, and if so, what's in store for her next era?

US Soccer offers contract renewal to Mauricio Pochettino through 2030 World Cup

  • Pochettino has been in charge of the US since late 2024

  • Former Spurs and PSG boss likely to have club interest

Mauricio Pochettino has been offered a contract extension that would keep him in charge of the US men’s national team through the 2030 World Cup, multiple sources familiar with the offer said on Friday. Sources spoke with the Guardian on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the matter.

Pochettino and the US Soccer Federation have been discussing a new deal for about three months, said one source. Pochettino, along with US Soccer CEO JT Batson, have spoken publicly about the negotiations as recently as late May, around the time that Pochettino was reported to have had talks with Serie A side Milan. Pochettino was coy when pressed about Milan’s interest, but Batson spoke openly about it, saying that the federation had received many inquiries in regards to Pochettino’s services.

Trump-shuttered climate change site back online in nonprofit hands

It's back! After Donald Trump shuttered the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Climate.gov website in 2025, cutting off public access to its 15-year archive of climate information, former members of the site's team have brought much of it back at a new domain. “Trusted climate information should not disappear when politics change,” Climate.us managing director Rebecca Lindsey said of the new platform in a press release. Lindsey, who previously served as the Climate.gov program manager and lead editor, told The Register in an email that she and one of the web developers responsible for the site were the first to be caught up in government purges when DOGE swept through the department in late February 2025. “In May, political appointees directed that all the remaining Climate.gov editorial and GIS/data visualization staff be removed from the contract,” Lindsey added. Created in cooperation with sustainability nonprofit accelerator Multiplier, Climate.us aims to be an independent alternative to its old .gov, and many of the former NOAA crew behind the previous website have teamed up for the new initiative to “keep climate information accurate, accessible, scientifically rigorous, and useful for the people who rely on it.” Climate.gov, which now redirects to a NOAA page about climate but which hosts none of the data the shuttered site used to contain, was taken offline in July 2025 following a Trump executive order prioritizing “gold standard science.” The order decried what it called the prior administration’s politicization of science by, among other things, “encouraging agencies to incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion considerations into all aspects of science planning, execution, and communication.” The EO called out climate change science as a particular area of concern, arguing that prior climate science models relied on worst-case scenarios, which somehow meant the public availability of 15 years of climate data and reporting ought to change. The shuttering of climate.gov followed a day after the order, leading to scientists expressing concern about the ability of governments, the public, and private organizations to combat the effects of a changing climate, whether the Trump administration believed the data was true or not. “This is evidence of serious tampering with the facts and with people’s access to information, and it actually may increase the risk of people being harmed by climate-related impacts,” University of Arizona climate scientist Kathy Jacobs told The Guardian in July 2025, following closure of the site and removal of other climate information from public repositories. Changes to the site actually began before that, Lindsey told us. Prior to her termination, the Climate.gov team was ordered to search its archives and remove any information that violated Trump’s Gulf of America order and ban on DEI programs. Guides on teaching climate change and principles of climate literacy were among documents purged from the site in that sweep. Climate.us, and Climate.gov before it, are designed to be a bridge between scientists studying the climate and the public, Lindsey told us. “Most of those functions we can perform almost as well outside of the federal domain as in it,” Lindsey said. “However, losing access to the tremendous store of knowledge and expertise possessed by federal scientists, with whom we partnered to make sure our content was accurate, is a real blow.” All of the content that was purged from the .gov is now back, along with blogs from experts, climate status reports, maps and data pathways, and national assessments of climate change as well. Lindsey told us that rapidly changing political winds have led her to believe that the government isn’t the right place for that mission to continue, and that she would have concerns about returning the site to federal management if a future administration changed its position on climate change. “I believe that fostering climate literacy is a public good, one of those things that benefit society as a whole, rather than one company or person,” the Climate.us director told us. “So I would definitely have concerns that going back to the government would just put us on a hamster wheel, where we’d face the same situation the next politics shift.” Regardless of whether that offer comes, Lindsey said that the Climate.us team will continue with the same mission it had before the Trump administration attempted to quash it: Getting climate science in front of the public in a manner that’s understandable so they can make their own decisions about how to respond. “We aren’t trying to tell people what to do about climate change,” Lindsey said. “We just think that people will come up with better strategies to confronting the world’s climate challenges if they understand what the science is telling us.” ®

Hoera (3x) Alexia 21 in het StamCafé

Vandaag zingen we het Wilhelmus net ietsje harder (doen we elke ochtend voor het schijten) want onze favoriete Prinses der Nederlanden alsook van Oranje Nassau, Hare Koninklijke Hoogheid ALEXIA is 21 jaar geworden. Betekent dus dat Alexia vanaf nu mag zuipen in Amerika, recht heeft 100 procent wettelijk minimumloon, mag gokken en zelfstandig een uitkering mag aanvragen. Dat laatste zal niet hoeven want een uitkering hebben papa Willie en zus Amaal al en bij acute geldnood kan ze desnoods Antoon ff aanschieten. Er zijn best wel wat dingetjes aan het Koningshuis waar we af en toe chagrijnig over zijn, maar op een of andere manier worden we nooit van Alexia. Al krijgt ze een toelage van 10 miljoen, al rolt ze in ieder kudtdorp waar ze handjes moet schudden de hele dag met haar ogen, al vlucht ze naar Canada Griekenland als heel Nederland op de IC ligt, al duikt ze bij elke irritante zanger in de auto, wij klagen niet. Uiteraard bedoelen we daarmee niet te zeggen dat Alexia 'de lekkerste' prinses is. Nee, dat bedoelde Sander Schimmelpenninck. Toen ze 15 was. #NeverForget.
