AEX-index opent licht hoger in aanloop banenrapport VS

AMSTERDAM (ANP) - De AEX-index op de Amsterdamse aandelenbeurs is vrijdag met kleine winst geopend, na het verlies een dag eerder. De aandacht van beleggers zal vooral uitgaan naar het belangrijke Amerikaanse banenrapport dat later op de dag naar buiten komt.

Naar verwachting is de werkgelegenheid in de Verenigde Staten in september met 90.000 arbeidsplaatsen gegroeid. In augustus was er nog sprake van een veel sterkere groei dan voorzien. De ontwikkelingen op de arbeidsmarkt zijn samen met de inflatie van grote invloed op het rentebeleid van de Amerikaanse centrale bank. De Federal Reserve verhoogde vorige maand voor het eerst sinds 2023 de rente om de hoge inflatie tegen te gaan. De Fed gaf toen aan dit jaar nog een verhoging te verwachten.

De AEX noteerde in de vroege handel 0,4 procent in de plus op 1106,92 punten. Op donderdag daalde de hoofdindex nog 1,1 procent. De MidKap ging licht omhoog naar 1071,24 punten.


Maatschappij El Al annuleert repatriëringsvluchten Israëliërs

DUBAI (ANP/AFP) - Israëls belangrijkste luchtvaartmaatschappij, El Al, heeft bekendgemaakt dat zij de repatriëringsvluchten voor Israëliërs uit Dubai vrijdag heeft geannuleerd. Deze vluchten waren gepland nadat luchtvaartmaatschappij flydubai vluchten naar Tel Aviv had opgeschort vanwege een mesaanval tijdens een vlucht op woensdag. Volgens Israël wilde de piloot die zijn copiloot aanviel het vliegtuig laten neerstorten.

Er is nog geen nieuwe datum voor de repatriëringsvluchten vastgesteld. Israël kan de vluchten niet uitvoeren, omdat het daarvoor niet de benodigde toestemming heeft gekregen van de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten.

Na het incident van woensdag maakte het flydubai-toestel een noodlanding in het Saudische Tabuk. De inzittenden, onder wie veel Israëliërs, werden alsnog naar Tel Aviv gebracht in een vervangend toestel. Flydubai annuleerde woensdag alle vluchten van en naar Israël in afwachting van de uitkomsten van een lopend onderzoek naar het incident.


Na 30 jaar stoppen met roken: ‘Al na 3 maanden 50 procent minder kans op hart-vaatziekten’

Ook al heb je je hele leven gerookt als een ketter, je lichaam begint al binnen een dag aan de grote schoonmaak als je stopt.

Roken is hardnekkig, maar stoppen heeft altijd zin. Judith Noijen van Jellinek legt in het AD uit wat je lichaam terugkrijgt, van de eerste dag tot de eerste jaren.

Na één dag

Het maakt niet uit hoe lang je hebt gerookt. Als je stopt, heeft dat direct invloed op je lichaam, zegt Noijen, senior preventiedeskundige bij Jellinek. “Al na een dag zijn er veranderingen merkbaar. Je bloeddruk en hartslag dalen”, zegt Noijen. Ook je ademhaling verbetert: “Wie stopt, merkt na een dag al dat hij makkelijker kan ademen.”

Het kan zijn dat je eerst gaat hoesten. Dat is geen reden tot zorg, legt Noijen uit: “Niet omdat je ziek bent, maar omdat je lichaam een grote schoonmaak opstart. Door te hoesten, worden teer, slijm en stof uit je longen verwijderd. Het zelfreinigende vermogen van je lichaam is fantastisch.”

Na twee dagen

“Al na twee dagen is de verslavende stof uit je bloed”, aldus Noijen. Ook je zintuigen worden scherper: „Je ruikt en proeft direct meer.”

Na een paar weken

Je voelt je fitter. “Sporten lukt makkelijker”, zegt Noijen. Ook je uiterlijk verbetert: “De doorbloeding van je lichaam en dus ook van je gezichtshuid wordt beter. De bloedvaten in je gezicht worden gevuld met gezond bloed. De grauwe kleur neemt af en de uitgeblazen rook komt niet langer in je gezicht.”

Ik voel me bevrijd. Nooit hoef ik me meer zorgen te maken of ik wel genoeg sigaretten heb. Wat een opluchting

Je tanden en tandvlees verslechteren niet verder. Rimpels die er al zijn, verdwijnen niet vanzelf. “Maar je kunt het verouderingsproces wel een halt toeroepen door te stoppen”, zegt Noijen.

Na drie maanden tot een jaar

Hier zit volgens Noijen de grootste winst: “Al na drie maanden tot een jaar heb je 50 procent minder kans op hart- en vaatziekten.” Heb je al een hartinfarct gehad? Dan daalt de kans op een tweede hartaanval met 50 procent als je stopt met roken.

Na tien jaar

“Ook als je veertig jaar hebt gerookt. Na tien jaar is de kans op longkanker bijna gehalveerd ten opzichte van iemand die is blijven roken.”

Hoeveel langer leef je?

Op elke leeftijd gaat de levensverwachting omhoog als je stopt. “Rokers die voor hun 35ste levensjaar stoppen, hebben bijna een net zo hoge levensverwachting als mensen die nooit hebben gerookt.”

Gemiddeld levert stoppen tien jaar op, zegt Noijen: “Roken verkort je leven met gemiddeld tien jaar. Dus wie stopt, wordt gemiddeld tien jaar ouder. Behalve als je heel lang hebt gerookt, dan schommelt die verlenging rond de vijf jaar.” Het verschilt per persoon: “Want mensen doen meer dan alleen roken, ze drinken wel of geen alcohol, eten wel of niet gezond, bewegen weinig of juist meer. Die combinatie bepaalt hoeveel reservetijd je krijgt als je stopt.”

Wat komt niet terug?

Beschadigde longblaasjes herstellen niet. “Als er longblaasjes beschadigd zijn, zoals bij mensen met de chronische ziekte COPD, dan is die schade onherstelbaar”, zegt Noijen. “Maar op alle andere vlakken is er voor je lichaam uitsluitend voordeel te behalen.”

De minder leuke kant

Stoppen is niet altijd makkelijk. “Wie stopt, kan last krijgen van ontwenningsverschijnselen. Je kunt er chagrijnig van worden, prikkelbaar zijn, last krijgen van somberheid, angsten en depressieve gevoelens”, zegt Noijen. “Daar moet je even doorheen, meestal duurt deze periode niet langer dan twee weken.” Uit onderzoek blijkt volgens haar dat ex-rokers daarna juist een beter humeur hebben dan toen ze nog rookten.

Door te hoesten, worden teer, slijm en stof uit je longen verwijderd. Het zelfreinigende vermogen van je lichaam is fantastisch

Ook aankomen hoort bij de bekende kwalen: “Nicotine versnelt je stofwisseling. Als je stopt met roken, vertraagt dus de stofwisseling. Daardoor heb je sneller trek. Maar ook omdat je meer proeft en ruikt, krijg je meer zin in eten. De kans bestaat dat je daardoor sneller naar een snack of snoepje grijpt en dus ook aankomt.” Veel mensen missen bovendien het gevoel iets in hun hand te hebben. “Uit gewoonte pakken ze dan sneller iets lekkers, om maar iets te doen te hebben.”

“Wat een opluchting”

Peter Groenewoud (60) stopte vier jaar geleden. “Ik voel me bevrijd. Nooit hoef ik me meer zorgen te maken of ik wel genoeg sigaretten heb. Wat een opluchting”, zegt hij.

Stoppen is bovendien goed voor je portemonnee: de accijns op sigaretten, shag en sigaren is op 1 april weer een klap omhooggegaan.

French bond sell-off ‘reminiscent of the euro crisis’ as Paris proposes cuts and tax rises – business live

Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial news

The jump in UK borrowing costs in recent weeks to the highest level in many years has eaten into the ‘fiscal buffer’ which the government created to keep within its fiscal rules.

That buffer was £23.6bn back in March, but some economists estimate it could have halved – even before you account for new spending pledges.

Rather than risking some tax increases in the way previous governments have to just magically hit some number and keep the buffer bigger, in this instance I personally suspect it might be the wisest thing to do.

The sharp weakening of appetite for French debt is a big issue for the broader euro area and the euro itself. France is the euro area’s second-largest economy — we used to call it the ‘core’, along with Germany, back during the 2012 sovereign debt crisis!

So, if concerns spread, other heavily indebted members could also face higher borrowing costs, tightening financial conditions across the region. For the euro, that means weaker growth prospects and a growing risk premium. The EURUSD tanked to 1.1215 yesterday, as the market’s focus shifted from the central-bank convergence/divergence story towards the euro area sovereign debt story.

Uzbekistan dominates chess Olympiad while England’s Sivanandan, 11, sets new world age record

Host nation won having led almost from start to finish, while young English player reached a stunning landmark

Uzbekistan, the host nation, won the open gold medals at the 2026 Olympiad, the biennial chess international team tournament, at Samarkand last week in the style of the legendary Soviet grandmasters of long ago. India, the defending champions, were second, Germany a surprise third, and the top-seeded United States fourth.

The hosts led almost from start to finish, with world No 5 Nodirbek Abdusattorov and the world title challenger Javokhir Sindarov their top-board powerhouses. The team recovered swiftly from a single defeat by Germany, and were particularly impressive in crushing Armenia by 3.5-0.5 in the penultimate round. The Uzbekistan government rewarded each of the five players with $200,000 (£178,000), plus $50,000 for the coach Rustam Kasimdzhanov.

Why boxing is still a box office smash hit even as the sport’s popularity wanes | Emma John

Fighters have always provided rich material for stories on stage and screen and the appeal to audiences has not wavered

Three of my greatest joys in life are watching sport, going to the theatre and playing violin. So it felt almost embarrassing to discover a classic play that combined all three, yet I’d never heard of it before. To be fair, Golden Boy has not been performed in the UK in more than 40 years and its curious premise may be one of the reasons.

Written in 1937, it’s about a gifted young violinist in Depression-era America who also has a talent for boxing and is lured away from music by the pursuit of fame and money in the ring. In the current London production he is played by Josh O’Connor, who Knives Out fans have seen with his fists up as a boxer turned priest in Wake Up Dead Man. O’Connor is no less convincing on stage than on film, attacking a heavy bag with the kind of power that does indeed make you worry for his precious hands. Nor is that ab definition entirely the work of a makeup artist.

‘I look at the footage to convince myself that you were alive’: how Ross McElwee made a film about unimaginable loss, grief and guilt

When his son died aged 27, the director could barely bring himself to watch his old clips of the boy. When at last he did, it was the genesis of an extraordinary project

It feels crass to compliment Ross McElwee on his latest documentary, Remake, because it is not the picture he would ever have chosen to make. It is instead a grief-struck tour de force: a magnificent film about film-making and its real-world repercussions.

McElwee is a film-maker who HAS spun home movies into art, framing himself and his friends and his son, Adrian. The director used to film Adrian for a few minutes each month. He tracked the boy from infancy to adulthood, trying to catch the significant turns of his life. When tragedy struck, it back-shadowed the footage. Maybe every home movie is a ghost story at heart. McElwee filmed Adrian because he loved him, but now fears he might have hurt him. So he sifts through the material in search of clues, addressing his son as though he were still in the room. “I look at the footage to convince myself that you were alive,” he says. “But also to convince myself that you’re gone.”

Kill Jackie review – Catherine Zeta-Jones’ assassin thriller is like Killing Eve … minus good characters or plot

This preposterous nonsense probably had high intentions – and then realised it’s easier to replace credible writing with gunfights, car chases and ear-bitings

A freeport is somewhere you can store imported goods and not have to pay any of the duties usually required by the bothersome authorities until you move them out of there. It’s not quite what I expected to learn when watching a new crime-caper-comedy-thriller-cum-comeback-vehicle starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, but on the other hand I didn’t expect to learn anything at all so we could consider it a bonus.

The customs benefits and tax reliefs available in certain exclusionary zones are the carefully explained means by which Jackie Price (Zeta-Jones) has established a successful art business over the last 20 years. She acquires art, puts it in a warehouse, invites rich people to come and view it, bid on it and buy it. I don’t know if they bear the cost of the taxes themselves as they ship it home, or indeed whether this is included in the bid price or not. Having been led by the early scenes to believe there would be much more in the way of financial detail, I now find myself beset by questions.

Pi coding agent pulls a 180 and adds MCP support

The Pi coding agent reached its 1.0 milestone on Thursday while being treated for whiplash. One of the core new inclusions is support for Model Context Protocol (MCP), which Pi creator Mario Zechner once dismissed as unnecessary. Earendil, the company formed by Armin Ronacher and Colin Daymond Hanna that acquired Pi in April 2026, explained the about-face by noting that things change. Not only has MCP improved, the biz said, but changes the Pi devs implemented in MCP have made integrating other capabilities easier. "For example, the changes we have made to MCP also enable the use of Jev more easily within Pi," the company said, in reference to the widely noted Jev decision model that has already elicited imitations. "Ultimately what Pi needs is quite similar to what MCP needs: a sandbox to play with in the form of an interpreter." Earendil describes Pi as "a hardened, minimal, extensible agent harness that you can make your own." If Pi were a Python web framework, it would be Flask rather than Django. Nonetheless, Pi has gained some features. These include Codemode, a harness-side sandbox that helps agents issue tool calls, with support for MCP, decision models, and image models; extension support for virtual models; deferred tool loading; cache warming for Anthropic models; mid-conversation system messages; a new TUI theme; and full-screen mode by default. Alongside these features, Earendil has built Pi Durable, described as "a new substrate for building long-running agentic applications." It's a distinct component from Pi, the company explained, in order to preserve Pi's minimalist design. The Pi agent connects the underlying model to tools to manage conversation; Pi Durable represents the layer that orchestrates multiple conversations and handles the storage backend, via SQLite and JSONL. "Pi Durable is that harness," the company explains. "It does not replace the Pi coding agent. It is a framework for building any agentic application, coding agents included. It shares not only code with the Pi coding agent, like pi-ai, but also its principles: minimalism and malleability." ®

An anonymous reader drops this, with little to say except to note "Speciaal passwords". Evidently they supplied a password which satisfied each of the five green critera, but still it was rejected. It would be nice to know where this offense originated,

Sacha R. observes a secret policy at play, saying "Oracle try to do the right thing by showing you the password policy requirements when you manually reset a password in their Fusion applications. It's just a pity that it doesn't show you the *correct* password policy requirements."

VIDEO. Overlevende 7 oktober uitgejoeld tijdens protest bij Gaza-docu NAZA: "Shame on you"

Social

Een overlevende van 7 oktober, de Frans-Israëlische Sabine Taasa, wilde bij de sit-in in Delft van de Israëlische docu over Gaza, waarvoor IDF-soldaten (statement IDF HIER) werden geïnterviewd over hun werkwijze tijdens de oorlog, een statement maken tegen de omstreden film. Nou zal ze niet gedacht hebben dat het publiek dat deze Gaza-docu bezoekt, PRO-senatoren of zo, haar zou verwelkomen met tranen, applaus en knuffels. Maar wat haar wel verwelkomde was: pure haat en hoon. Toen ze probeerde te vertellen over haar door Hamas vermoorde man en zoon klonk de vijandigheid uit de zaal van 'we don't care' en 'go away' tot 'get out' en een 'shame on you' en 'free Palestine' in koor gescandeerd (meer beeld HIER). Volgens De Telegraaf, aanwezig bij de première, zit de groep 'Ad Kan' achter het protest en moest de politie de boel uiteindelijk sussen. Zijn dat nou die 'empathische' Rode Lijn-lopers die voor elke kreupele mier hun sjaaltje uit de kast grissen om te laten zien hoezeer het wereldleed hen aangrijpt? Goed, treurig genoeg wisten we al dat die empathie er nooit is voor Israëlisch leed. Dat was al duidelijk op 7 oktober 2023.

Overseer Capitalism: The Rule of Brute Force

a vast right-wing conspiracy, if you will...
The Future of the Far Right [ungated] - "We misread the far right by taking its discourse at face value. It is an error to believe Trump, Bolsonaro et al when they speak of taking a step back from 'globalism', of returning to a Fordist dream of industrial jobs, turning back the clock on the sexual revolution and re-sacralising the nuclear family and traditional gender roles. These ideas have an obvious psychological appeal to certain voters, but they are not borne out by the actions of the contemporary far right. On the contrary, it is a movement that feeds off the social disintegration produced by decades of neoliberalism, and accelerates that process towards a certain horizon." (via)

In my book, I characterise this horizon as a "privately managed, differentially distributed state of nature": a situation in which the state relinquishes ever more responsibility for mediating social conflict and instead enshrines the rule of brute force. Let me provide one revealing example. In 2019, illegal loggers in the Amazonian state of Rondônia set fire to a fuel truck serving a federal enforcement operation, which then had to be called off; two weeks later the environment minister travelled to the town to meet the loggers and hear their demands. The explicit message was: 'I'm on your side. It's okay if you burn government property, kill the Indigenous people whose land you are logging and collaborate with the drug traffickers who use the same routes – all of that is private enterprise, and we don't interfere with private enterprise.' The same idea informs Trump's relationship with Big Tech. This can take the form of what I have called "overseer capitalism". In plantation economies like Brazil and the American South, policing was a public function that grew out of a private one. The overseer hired to discipline the plantation workforce became, after abolition, the police officer keeping the freed men and women in place. Today that public function is turning private once again. Wagner and Blackwater, the narcos in Mexico, the militias in Rio – such non-state actors increasingly exercise the monopoly of force over the areas they control. Overseer capitalism entails the alliance between capital and these free agents of repression, who join the coalition not merely as guns for hire but as equal political partners. Such a convergence was presaged in the first Bolsonaro government and could easily establish itself under Flávio. It's clear why the powerful would be attracted to such a model that promises them untrammelled enjoyment of power. But why do the weakest also vote for it? Because of the psychological compensations included in the package. The promise is: 'even if you remain hyper-exploited at your job, even if your life expectations are daily shrinking, we will ensure that there is at least one sphere of life in which your power runs free. At home, you can take it out on your wife or your kids, no one will interfere; and no one can tell you not to make jokes about Black people or gay people.'
Crisis unresolved - "One way to understand the class alliance that has coalesced around this project is to think of it as the meeting of those who have given up waiting for the promises of modernization to be realized, and those who have stopped pretending that the promises they made were real."
On one side, there are those juggling several jobs, working informally or in the gig economy, dealing with the economic downturn of the post-2015 period, strained public services and unaccountable institutions. To these, Bolsonarismo offers, if not clear material advantages, the promise that, if they cannot count on the state, the state will at least get off their backs, leaving them free to manage their own risks as they see fit. Bolsonarismo also offers the unhindered exercise of whatever little power they have, in however small a sphere that may be — even if it is just by telling jokes about minorities. To Brazilian elites, on the other hand, and particularly those in agribusiness and extractive industries, Bolsonaro offers the same, but writ large: predatory capitalism outside any control. Between these two groups, there is a middle class that is bitter from losing some of its markers of social distinction vis-a-vis the ascendant poor; from this milieu come some of the most ardent Bolsonaristas and many of the political entrepreneurs that have made a career out of far-right agitation.
Anatomy of Disintegration: What Brazil Reveals About the Global Far Right by Rodrigo Nunes - "Through the lens of Bolsonarismo, Rodrigo Nunes zeros in on the challenge that the enduring success of the far right forces the left to face, in Brazil and beyond: How do we reckon with the appeal of political actors who promise radical positive change while reassuring their own supporters that they, and only they, won't need to change their ways? To put it in the words of the author, how do bold leftists convince a majority of people that, instead of hating particular categories of players, they should hate the game, when their opponents thrive on telling voters that hating other players can spare them the hazardous work of changing the game? To start answering that question seriously and intransigently, Anatomy of Disintegration is a must read." cf. Frances Fukuyama on 'patrimonial capitalism' - "Megalothymia. So that is the desire to be recognized as greater than other people. I think that this is obviously a threat in a democracy because a liberal democracy is based on the premise that all people, all citizens are essentially equal. But that's not enough for a certain group, a certain subset of human beings. They want to dominate. They want to be more than others. It takes often times a very negative form of political domination. So you want to be a dictator or an autocrat." (The return of "patrimonial capitalism")
EK: Trump appears a couple of times in End of History and the Last Man. But when he emerges into politics, he emerges as something other than simply an icon of capitalist success. He emerges as somebody bringing a renewed nationalism, a renewed belief in borders, a belief in maybe more traditional hierarchies in America. And over time he emerges in your telling as somebody who is either proposing or modeling a different form of government, a different regime, not just a different leader. You've described him as repatrimonializing the government. What does that mean? FF: So let's begin with another bit of psychology. It's not natural to favor a well-qualified stranger over your relatives or your friends. It's a very natural human desire to want to reward friends and family. So most states in human history were patrimonial, meaning that they basically were run for the benefit of the rulers. It was the ruler's household, the friends and family of the ruler that were given privileges and were able to enrich themselves. And the reason you went into politics was to enrich yourselves. And I think that every society that has managed to create modern state institutions that are impersonal has had this constant backsliding temptation because the rulers themselves would like their friends and family to be favored... We're doing that right now. You know, instead of professional diplomats handling our Middle East policy, you get Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, two friends and family of Donald Trump, and you're paying the price for it because a modern state really does need meritocratic, impersonal people running the state apparatus. EK: Are you surprised how easy it was for Trump to begin to build or rebuild that structure in a system that seemed just choked with rules and procedures to keep that from happening? FF: Yeah, I'm totally astounded that the American people don't seem to really care that much. I mean maybe in the fullness of time there'll be some accountability, but yeah, I would not have expected that the degree of corruption that exists in the current administration would have been tolerable to mainstream Republicans.
viz. "This is the apparatus of mass enslavement - here, or abroad. Deportations first, then work camps when the nonprofit organizations that fight for immigrant rights are weakened enough and the press is captured enough and the population is surveilled enough that it won't lead to mass protest in the streets."
