Sanne Thierens vertelt het verhaal van de bezetting van de abortuskliniek Bloemenhove in 1976 na met veel flair en vaart. Zo komt de geschiedenis echt tot leven, maar voor nuance blijft weinig ruimte over.

Right to assisted dying established for patients with conditions assessed as incurable and causing unbearable pain

Legislation granting incurably ill adults the right to assisted dying has been formally adopted in France after the text was approved by the country’s highest constitutional authority and published in the official journal.

The law, known as a law on “end of life” or “aid in dying” rather than “assisted dying” or “euthanasia”, means France joins the small group of countries including the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada to have legalised the practice.

Move by Years, which provides personalised meals in subscription-based service, follows recipe change

A dog food brand has recalled all of its fresh meals after reports that a recipe change may have caused some animals to develop an eye condition that, if left untreated, can lead to sight loss.

Years said owners should stop feeding its fresh meals to their dogs “immediately” and also told them not to feed the meals to any other animal, or to donate or sell them.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s co-opting of conservative language to discuss a movement against state-sanctioned killings of Black people is damning

August has brought us a referendum on “Woke 1” – a term that reductively brands 2020’s social justice movement – as prominent liberal voices reflect on that time period with disappointing hindsight. During a recent appearance on ABC’s This Week, when asked about 2020-era demands to abolish prisons and police, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the US congresswoman from New York, abandoned her previous support of the “defund the police” movement, and instead joked: “Woke 1 was crazyyyyy.”

Ocasio-Cortez, a democratic socialist, implied that the still-resounding calls for municipalities to reduce police budgets and to divert aid to poor communities were worth advocating for during the 2020 uprising, but are now “crazyyyyy”. In 2020, she noted that “a lot of people cannot fathom what an abolitionist America looks like. Tell them it looks like a suburb. Affluent white communities already live in a world where they choose to fund youth, health, housing more than they fund police.” But she has since backtracked on that idea.

New findings further call into question scientific judgment of current health leaders in the Trump administration

A French researcher whose work was praised by Donald Trump and Dr Mehmet Oz during the Covid-19 pandemic published hundreds of papers with “substantial” ethical and legal concerns, according to a new analysis.

An international team of scientists found concerns in 853 articles published by the Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire Méditerranée Infection, or the IHU, hundreds more than previously flagged by past investigations into work at the large research hospital. Of those, institute founder Didier Raoult was listed as co-author on 758 of them, according to one of the researchers behind the new analysis.

A rise in lawsuits over AI use in employment decisions is raising questions about how companies hire and fire

For the last four years, Erin Kistler has applied for thousands of jobs at companies like Paypal, Microsoft and Netflix, only to find her résumé disappear into a black hole. A product manager with nearly 20 years of experience, Kistler believes she was qualified for every role, yet she never received a single interview.

Now, Kistler is suing Eightfold AI, the Silicon Valley maker of hiring software used by hundreds of companies, including those where she applied, in a class action lawsuit. The case, filed in January in California court, is one of the first to argue that automated screening functions as an undisclosed consumer report or applicant dossier, ranking job applicants on their likelihood of success without giving them the chance to see or challenge the results, according to Kistler’s legal team.

• Defender to provide cover for injured Saliba and Timber

• Villa braced for fresh bid from Al-Hilal for Ollie Watkins

Arsenal have agreed a £51m deal to sign Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa. The Premier League champions have been keen to find defensive cover for William Saliba and Jurrien Timber, both of whom are out with injuries. They have tracked Konsa throughout the summer and have made a breakthrough in the negotiations.

Mikel Arteta hopes that Konsa, whose Villa contract has two years to run, can make light of Saliba’s absence in central defence. The timeframe for the Frenchman’s return is unclear but he is not expected to play before mid-October, having sustained a back injury in France’s World Cup semi-final defeat against Spain. Konsa’s appeal is bolstered by the fact he can also play at right-back, where Timber is battling to return from a groin injury which has affected him for months.

• Move could be confirmed along with $100m US Open pot

• Slams have been in dispute with players for 18 months

The grand slam tennis tournaments have agreed to establish a formal Player Advisory Council in a move aimed at defusing the row over prize money. The joint venture could be confirmed on Wednesday as part of US Tennis Association’s announcement of this year’s US Open prize money, which is expected to top $100m (£74m) for the first time.

The four slams have been in dispute for almost 18 months, with with leading players, including Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, demanding a greater share of tournament revenues as part of a wider overhaul of the sport’s finances and operations that would also lead to the major tournaments making contributions to player welfare and offer meaningful player representation.

EINDHOVEN (ANP) - Afvalverwerker Renewi schrapt ook in Nederland tientallen banen. Dat bevestigt een woordvoerder na vragen van het ANP. Eerder meldden vakbonden in België dat 91 mensen hun baan bij het bedrijf daar verliezen.

De afvalverwerker wil de organisatie eenvoudiger maken. Daardoor kan het bedrijf, naar eigen zeggen, de besluitvorming versnellen en processen beter laten aansluiten op de behoeften van klanten en een snel veranderende markt. "Omdat we ons momenteel in de informatie- en consultatiefase bevinden, kunnen we nog geen definitieve aantallen bevestigen", aldus de woordvoerder. Bij het bedrijf werken duizenden mensen in verschillende landen.

Renewi is een afvalverwerker en recyclebedrijf en bestaat sinds 2017, na een fusie van verschillende organisaties. De overname van de Brits-Nederlandse afvalrecycler door het Australische beleggingsfonds Macquarie werd vorig jaar afgerond. Daarmee ging het bedrijf ook van de beurs.

ZANDVOORT (ANP) - Formule 1-coureur Isack Hadjar moet de Grote Prijs in Zandvoort aan zich voorbij laten gaan door een polsblessure. De Nieuw-Zeelander Liam Lawson vervangt de Fransman als teamgenoot van Max Verstappen bij Red Bull, meldt de renstal.

Hadjar (21) behaalde in zijn eerste seizoen bij Red Bull tot nu toe 68 punten en staat daarmee achtste in de WK-stand. Zijn beste resultaat is de vierde plaats in Monaco. Vorig jaar eindigde hij als coureur van Racing Bulls als derde in Zandvoort.

De 24-jarige Lawson begon vorig seizoen als teamgenoot van Verstappen, maar moest al na twee grands prix plaatsmaken voor Yuki Tsunoda. De Japanner maakte weinig indruk en werd dit seizoen vervangen door Hadjar. Lawson rijdt sinds zijn vertrek bij Red Bull voor zusterteam Racing Bulls.

De voorlopig laatste Dutch Grand Prix begint vrijdag met de enige vrije training en de kwalificatie voor de sprintrace van zaterdag. De hoofdrace is zondag.

KEULEN (ANP/DPA) - De Duitse luchtvaartmaatschappij Eurowings gaat vanaf 25 oktober weer vliegen naar Dubai. Eurowings was gestopt met vliegen naar Dubai na de uitbraak van de oorlog in het Midden-Oosten.

Het dochterbedrijf van Lufthansa biedt dan weer directe vluchten naar Dubai vanaf de luchthavens van Berlijn, Stuttgart en Keulen/Bonn. Kort na het begin van de Iranoorlog aan het einde van februari haalde Eurowings nog gestrande Duitsers op uit het Midden-Oosten.

KLM maakte eerder deze maand nog bekend zeker tot en met 24 oktober uit veiligheidsoverwegingen niet naar Dubai en de Saudische steden Riyad en Dammam te vliegen.

KYIV (ANP/RTR) - Het Oekraïense parlement heeft ingestemd met de benoeming van Jevheni Chmara als nieuwe minister van Defensie. Chmara is de opvolger van Mychajlo Fedorov, die in een herschikking van het kabinet werd ontslagen. Dat leidde tot een politieke crisis en protesten die nog altijd niet voorbij lijken.

Chmara, die al waarnemend defensieminister was, kreeg ruim voldoende steun in het Oekraïense parlement. 312 leden stemden met zijn benoeming in, waar 226 leden nodig waren. Andri Sybiha kreeg voldoende steun voor zijn herbenoeming als minister van Buitenlandse Zaken.

Nadat de populaire Fedorov in juli al na zes maanden als minister was ontslagen, viel hij openlijk de Oekraïense topmilitair Oleksandr Syrsky aan. De twee hadden een conflict. Generaal Syrsky werd uiteindelijk ook weggestuurd door Zelensky. Dinsdag zei Fedorov dat hij vindt dat er weer verkiezingen moeten komen, ondanks de oorlog die nu woedt.

Chmara was tot voor kort een hoge officier en genoot ook enige bekendheid.

Datacenter operator DataVita has secured £300 million ($406 million) to expand its campus in Scotland's Lanarkshire AI Growth Zone, while Dell is moving into the area – albeit only into a regional office. The AI Growth Zone, unveiled earlier this year, centers on DataVita's server farm campus in Airdrie. The operator has secured financing to expand its existing facility and build another nearby, promising hundreds of construction jobs and 100 permanent roles. The £300 million debt facility comes from a lending syndicate comprising ING, ABN AMRO, Santander, the Scottish National Investment Bank, and Siemens Financial Services. The UK's National Wealth Fund is backing it with a £202 million guarantee. DataVita says the financing will expand its existing DV1 facility and fund construction of a new one, DV3. For anyone wondering about the missing number, DV2 sits beneath an office in Glasgow. Once expanded, DV1 will provide 40 MW of capacity, as will DV3. CoreWeave has already leased the capacity of both bit barns for 15 years. The AI cloud operator provides infrastructure to several leading model developers. DataVita did not wait for the financing to land. Work on the DV1 expansion began last December, and construction of DV3 followed in April. Work is expected to be complete by the end of this year for the extension to DV1 and summer 2027 for DV3. The firm claims the two developments will support about 600 construction jobs and create roughly 100 permanent, highly skilled roles once operational. DataVita expects the development to be the first stage of a larger campus intended to establish North Lanarkshire as a hub for AI infrastructure. Perhaps keen to talk up its AI Growth Zone policy, the government tells us that Dell Technologies is to establish a base in the area. But it seems the global IT giant is simply setting up an administrative office at Mercury House in Lanarkshire's AI Innovation Park, which will be the new home for the company's Scottish team. Dell told us: "Dell's team in Scotland includes customer-facing and business support functions, alongside technical specialists who work with customers to develop and deploy technology solutions." AI Growth Zones were announced as part of the government's AI Opportunities Action Plan at the start of last year, aimed at using AI to drive economic growth in the UK. A key part of this has been encouraging the building of more datacenters to host the necessary IT infrastructure. The government said AI Growth Zone sites would be selected partly according to the availability of sufficient power. Lanarkshire is well placed for this, thanks to its abundant energy supply and strategic position within Scotland's electricity network. It is claimed the site's energy needs will be met overwhelmingly by renewables thanks to Scotland's low-carbon energy mix. "There is plenty of talk about AI infrastructure just now. This project is being delivered: work is well advanced on site, every megawatt is contracted, and the first facility completes this year," said DataVita managing director Danny Quinn. "This type of investment in Scotland's datacenter infrastructure would have been unthinkable just two or three years ago. That is the impact AI is having." UK AI minister Kanishka Narayan said the announcements would help keep Scotland at the forefront of development, while claiming AI was already helping scientists discover medicines, improve public services, and raise business productivity. "For local people, that means more than new buildings and technology. It means the chance to develop new skills, access new careers and benefit from the growth and investment that AI can bring," he said. We're sure the people of Lanarkshire just can't wait for the benefits that AI is set to bring them. ®

Het houdt niet op, niet vanzelf. Elke dag wordt er wel weer ingebroken bij een brandweerkazerne en wordt daarbij zwaar brandweergereedschap (scharen, spreiders, rammen) meegenomen, spul waar de brandweer normaliter mensen mee moet redden. Gisteren weer in Sint-Michielsgestel, vannacht in Sassenheim. Het lukt blijkbaar niet om de brandweer beter te beveiligen, maar gelukkig is de politie druk bezig om de gemene pikkeboeven op te sporen en daarbij is nu sprake van een heuse doorbraak: de politie vermoedt dat er EEN BENDE achter de inbraakgolf zit. Maar wat voor bende kan dat in hemelsnaam zijn? POLL na de breek.
