Nemen we wel of geen ernstig zieke kinderen uit Gaza op in Nederlandse ziekenhuizen? Tot nu toe was een nipte meerderheid in de Tweede Kamer tegen dit plan.

Last posted a Canberra aerial during a bushfire and this one's a little more clear.
Unlike most cities which have grown over generations, Canberra is the result of a design competition won by the architect, Walter Burley Griffin in 1912. The city's thematic geometry radiates from the Australian Parliament at its centre. Around it is Lake Burley Griffin, on the flood plain of the Molonglo River about 550m up.
The urban built-up area left of centre is the Westfield Woden in the suburb of Phillip. The mining operation below centre is Boral Quarries Mugga Mugga at Symonston. It's surrounded by a nature reserve so not a landmark one would be conscious of on the ground.
New Formative is the title of the 2025 Samsung Design Membership MEP Exhibition, encapsulating the idea that the steady tracks of thought and effort eventually lead to innovation. Hosted annually by Samsung Design Membership with the support of Samsung Electronics, the MEP Exhibition provides a platform for students to present their visions for the future. This year, under the theme of Visionary Identities, members showcased a wide range of ideas?from products and services to CMF concepts?that reimagine and innovate the everyday.
Wild chimpanzees have been found to consume the equivalent of a bottle of lager's alcohol a day from eating ripened fruit, scientists say. BBC: They say this is evidence humans may have got our taste for alcohol from common primate ancestors who relied on fermented fruit -- a source of sugar and alcohol -- for food. "Human attraction to alcohol probably arose from this dietary heritage of our common ancestor with chimpanzees," said study researcher Aleksey Maro of the University of California, Berkeley.
Chimps, like many other animals, have been spotted feeding on ripe fruit lying on the forest floor, but this is the first study to make clear how much alcohol they might be consuming.
The research team measured the amount of ethanol, or pure alcohol, in fruits such as figs and plums eaten in large quantities by wild chimps in Cote d'Ivoire and Uganda. Based on the amount of fruit they normally eat, the chimps were ingesting around 14 grams of ethanol -- equivalent to nearly two UK units, or roughly one 330ml bottle of lager. The fruits most commonly eaten were those highest in alcohol content.

Sony has quietly introduced a revised PlayStation 5 Digital Edition that reduces internal storage from 1TB to 825GB while maintaining the same 499 Euro ($590) price point. The CFI-2116 revision has appeared on Amazon listings across Italy, Germany, Spain and France without official announcement from Sony.
The storage downgrade returns the console to its original 825GB capacity last seen in the launch PlayStation 5 before the Slim models increased storage to 1TB. Users lose approximately 175 of usable space in the new revision. Amazon Germany lists October 23 as the delivery date for units already available for purchase. The change affects only the Digital Edition while the disc version remains unchanged at 1TB. The revision follows Sony's September price increase of $50 across PlayStation 5 models citing economic conditions.

WASHINGTON (ANP) - De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump heeft gezegd dat hij de antifascistische Antifa-beweging bestempelt als "terroristische organisatie". Trump liet maandag al doorschemeren deze stap te willen zetten naar aanleiding van de moord op de rechtse politieke activist Charlie Kirk. De moord op Kirk is door de autoriteiten niet in verband gebracht met politieke groeperingen.
"Ik zal ook sterk aanbevelen dat degenen die ANTIFA financieren grondig worden onderzocht in overeenstemming met de hoogste juridische normen en praktijken", schreef Trump op Truth Social. Hij omschreef Antifa als een "zieke, radicale, linkse ramp".
Antifa is een antifascistische en antiracistische politieke beweging die geweldloze directe actie en in sommige gevallen geweld gebruikt, naar eigen zeggen alleen uit zelfverdediging. De beweging is gestoeld op anarchistische beginselen en heeft dan ook geen formele organisatiestructuur.
NEW YORK (ANP) - De Amerikaanse topsprinter Fred Kerley neemt deel aan de eerste Enhanced Games, sportwedstrijden waar doping en andere hulpmiddelen zijn toegestaan. De wereldkampioen op de 100 meter van 2022 wil het wereldrecord van Usain Bolt aanvallen, liet hij weten via de organisatie van het evenement, dat voor het eerst wordt gehouden in mei 2026 in Las Vegas.
Kerley is de eerste baanatleet die zijn deelname toezegt aan de omstreden Enhanced Games. "Het wereldrecord is altijd het ultieme doel van mijn carrière geweest. Dit geeft me nu de kans om al mijn energie te steken in het verleggen van mijn grenzen en de snelste mens ooit te worden", zei de Amerikaan, die ook winnaar is van zilver en brons op de olympische 100 meter. De Amerikaan is momenteel geschorst omdat hij dopingregels heeft overtreden.
Het wereldrecord op de 100 meter is sinds 2009 in het bezit van de Jamaicaan Usain Bolt en staat op 9,58. Kerley heeft een persoonlijk record van 9,76.
LIMA (ANP) - Peruaanse paleontologen hebben woensdag het twaalf miljoen jaar oude fossiel van een prehistorische bruinvis onthuld, gevonden nabij de Pacifische kust van het Zuid-Amerikaanse land. Het 3,5 meter lange fossiel werd in juli gevonden door de Peruaanse paleontoloog Mario Urbina in de Ocucaje-woestijn, zo'n 350 kilometer ten zuiden van hoofdstad Lima.
Urbina presenteerde zijn vondst aan het Geologisch, Mijnbouw- en Metallurgisch Instituut in Lima. Volgens een andere paleontoloog, Mario Gamarra, is het relikwie in uitstekende staat. Dat biedt wetenschappers nieuwe mogelijkheden het prehistorische zeezoogdier te bestuderen - "Hoe het zich bewoog, hoe het zwom, wat het at en hoe lang het leefde", aldus Gamarra tegen persbureau AFP.
De Ocucaje-woestijn is geliefd terrein voor fossielenjagers. Er zijn overblijfselen van onder meer viervoetige dwergwalvissen, dolfijnen, haaien en andere soorten uit het Mioceen (tussen vijf en 23 miljoen jaar geleden) in het gebied ontdekt.
