Terrified of being seen as a loser, Donald Trump is nonsensically lashing out – even against our old friend Canada

I’m still grieving Dolly Parton. I never met her and always wanted to. She was almost exactly my age and my height and had values I deeply admired. Her death leaves a hole in the firmament.

Which brings me to the person whose values are as far from Dolly Parton’s as any human could possibly be and still claim to be human. I’m referring, of course, to the current occupant of the Oval Office.

News that Scott is working on a follow-up to his maligned 2017 film leaves me worried the franchise has run out of shocks

If any science-fiction saga looked beyond recovery, it was the Alien franchise. For the 38 years that followed James Cameron’s Aliens, film-makers contrived to find every imaginable way of not making a good Alien film. They tried killing everyone the audience cared about before the opening credits, marooning Sigourney Weaver on a planet populated entirely by bald British character actors, cloning Ripley, pitting xenomorphs against Predators, and sending scientists across the universe to ask an enormous, hairless space bodybuilder why he made them. They even ponied up the thick end of $100m for a film in which Michael Fassbender teaches himself to play the flute.

And then in 2024, we got Fede Álvarez’s Alien: Romulus, in which actual xenomorphs chase actual human beings down actual corridors for the clearly defined purposes of either killing them or putting smaller xenomorphs inside them. Better still, a year later we got Noah Hawley’s Alien: Earth, which reminded us that giant, murderous space insects are in fact less awful than tech trillionaires.

Het KNMI heeft vrijdagmiddag code geel afgegeven voor alle provincies. Vanuit het zuidwesten trekken onweersbuien over het land, met kans op hagel, zware windstoten en in korte tijd veel regen. Wie nog even vijf minuten neemt voor huis, tuin en auto, kan veel gedoe voorkomen

Niet alleen een nat pak

De zwaarste buien kunnen volgens de waarschuwingen gepaard gaan met windstoten tot ongeveer 75 kilometer per uur, hagel en lokaal 20 tot 40 millimeter regen in korte tijd. Daardoor kunnen takken afbreken, straten blank komen te staan en kan verkeer hinder ondervinden. De buien trekken van zuidwest naar noordoost en verlaten het land naar verwachting in de avond.

1. Zet je auto niet onder een boom

Een garage of carport is bij hagel de veiligste plek voor de auto. Geen overdekte parkeerplek? Kies dan liever een open plek dan een plaats onder grote bomen: harde wind kan takken doen afbreken, met mogelijk flinke schade tot gevolg.

Let vooral op als je auto onder kastanjes, populieren of grote oude bomen staat. Ook een elektrische auto kun je tijdens onweer gewoon buiten laten staan; de auto zelf biedt, wanneer hij gesloten is, bescherming als je onderweg wordt overvallen door onweer. Stap alleen niet uit zolang bliksem en hevige wind vlakbij zijn.

2. Haal losse spullen uit tuin en balkon

Een parasol die open blijft staan, een lichte tuinstoel of een losse plantenbak kan bij een flinke windstoot veranderen in een projectiel. Klap de parasol dicht, zet tuinmeubilair binnen of vast en haal losse spullen van balkon, terras en tuinpad.

Denk ook aan:

• Fietsen die los tegen een schutting of gevel staan.
• Trampolines, die stevig verankerd moeten zijn.
• Afvalbakken en containers.
• Ramen, dakramen, tuinhuisjes en schuurdeuren.
• Huisdieren die nog buiten zijn.

3. Maak afvoer en putje vrij

Bij zware buien is niet de totale hoeveelheid regen altijd het grootste probleem, maar de snelheid waarmee die valt. Controleer daarom snel of bladeren, aarde of afval de afvoer van balkon, terras, dakgoot of straatputje blokkeren.

Water dat niet weg kan, kan een balkon of kelder binnenlopen. Zet kostbare spullen in een lage berging daarom wat hoger en houd, als dat kan, een dweil, trekker of emmer klaar. De verwachting is dat lokaal wateroverlast kan ontstaan.

Snelle check: auto verplaatsen, parasol dicht, balkonafvoer vrijmaken en ramen sluiten. Vier kleine handelingen die bij een stevige onweersbui veel schade kunnen schelen.

4. Laad je telefoon op — en volg de waarschuwing

Zorg dat je telefoon voldoende batterij heeft voordat je op pad gaat. Bij een stevige bui kunnen vertragingen, omleidingen en lokale storingen ontstaan. Houd de actuele weerwaarschuwingen en de reisplanner in de gaten, zeker als je met trein, fiets, scooter of auto reist.

De KNMI-app test daarnaast meldingen die gebruikers op basis van hun locatie kunnen waarschuwen als er binnen vijftien minuten gevaarlijk weer nadert. De app kan dan ook praktische handelingsadviezen geven, zoals naar binnen gaan of ramen sluiten.

5. Vermijd fiets, water en open terrein

Word je buiten overvallen door onweer? Zoek dan zo snel mogelijk een stevig gebouw op. Ga niet schuilen onder een boom, blijf weg van open water en stel een fietstocht, wandeling of buitensport uit totdat de bui is overgetrokken.

Ook voor automobilisten geldt: pas snelheid en afstand aan wanneer regen ineens met bakken uit de lucht komt. Zicht kan snel verdwijnen en water op de weg verhoogt het risico op slippen. De onweersbuien kunnen het verkeer volgens het KNMI hinderen; ook omvallende bomen en afgebroken takken vormen een risico.nhnieuws+1

Wat betekent code geel?

Code geel is een waarschuwing voor weersomstandigheden die lokaal tot gevaarlijke situaties of hinder kunnen leiden. Het betekent niet dat er overal tegelijk zwaar weer uitbreekt, maar wel dat je rekening moet houden met plotselinge stevige buien. Kijk daarom vlak voor vertrek altijd naar de actuele waarschuwing voor jouw provincie.

Meer weten?

• De buien trekken vrijdag van zuidwest naar noordoost over Nederland.
• In de avond neemt de buiigheid naar verwachting af.telegraaf+1
• Door hagel, windstoten en zware regen kunnen wateroverlast, verkeersproblemen en schade door omvallende bomen ontstaan.

DEN HAAG (ANP) - Een wetsvoorstel van het kabinet geeft de inlichtingendiensten AIVD en MIVD veel meer ruimte om te opereren. Nieuwe dreigingen en technologische ontwikkelingen maken dit volgens het kabinet noodzakelijk. "Met deze wet wordt ons mes scherper", aldus minister Dilan Yeşilgöz (Defensie, VVD).

De diensten kunnen door de wet sneller en wendbaarder handelen. Verder hoeven ze minder vaak toestemming te vragen tijdens operaties. Ook wordt meer samenwerking met medeoverheden, bedrijven en organisaties mogelijk. Onlineplatforms en banken moeten aan de diensten gegevens gaan verstrekken.

Om in "buitengewone omstandigheden" goed te kunnen blijven functioneren wordt ook staatsnoodrecht in de wet opgenomen. Dat kunnen ministers toepassen als Nederland betrokken wordt bij een "grootschalig conflict". Het parlement moet de inzet wel goedkeuren.

'Omvangrijk en ingrijpend'

Volgens het kabinet verandert er niets aan de waarborgen. De drempel voor inzet van bevoegdheden blijft hoog, aldus minister Yeşilgöz. "Daar verandert niks aan." Er komt een nieuw onafhankelijk orgaan (het College van Toetsing en Toezicht) om de diensten te controleren.

De voorstellen zijn "dermate omvangrijk en ingrijpend" dat een nieuwe wet nodig is, aldus Yeşilgöz en minister Pieter Heerma (Binnenlandse Zaken, CDA), respectievelijk verantwoordelijk voor de MIVD en AIVD. Het voorstel gaat nu in consultatie, zodat belanghebbenden op de plannen kunnen reageren.

Cyberprogramma

De dreiging van landen als Rusland, China en Iran is de afgelopen jaren toegenomen. Daarbij komt dat die dreiging veel complexer is geworden en gericht is op de hele samenleving. De dreiging is "fundamenteel anders" dan toen de vorige wet voor de inlichtingendiensten (Wiv) in 2017 werd opgesteld, aldus de bewindslieden.

Een tijdelijke wet uit 2024 maakte al mogelijk dat de AIVD en MIVD sneller konden optreden tegen landen met een offensief cyberprogramma. Die bevoegdheid wordt met het voorstel uitgebreid naar alle landen en organisaties die gericht zijn tegen Nederland of de Nederlandse belangen. Het gaat ook om groepen die op de EU-terreurlijst staan.

Krijgsmacht

Door de nieuwe wet vermindert de toetsing vooraf en vindt meer controle plaats tijdens de inzet van diensten. Ook kunnen bepaalde bevoegdheden langer zonder afzonderlijke toetsing worden ingezet. Dat geldt niet voor grote onderscheppingen van data, DNA-afname en het binnentreden van woningen.

De samenwerking tussen de MIVD en de krijgsmacht wordt geïntensiveerd. Zo kan de militaire inlichtingendienst ruwe data doorspelen aan de landmacht. De oorlog in Oekraïne heeft duidelijk gemaakt dat het snel delen van informatie een cruciale rol speelt in een conflict.

@voorstad @ronald @mboelen Het lijkt erop dat de "Verify you're human" pagina wordt getriggerd door (een combinatie van) browser configuratie, ad-blockers, diverse browser add-ons, ip-adres.
Vervolgens, als je de challenge krijgt wordt naar het gedrag van de gebruiker gekeken, muisbeweging, reactietijd etc. Als ze dan nog niet uit kunnen maken of je nou een bot bent of niet, dan komen de plaatjes.

Hoe gaan musea en publiek om met werk dat in een andere tijd werd gemaakt, in een maatschappij waarin andere normen en waarden golden en waarin de machtsverhoudingen anders lagen? Het werk dat fotograaf Ed van der Elsken een halve eeuw geleden maakte, leidt op sociale media tot veel reacties.

Volgens de rechtbank in Den Haag heeft Eugéne N., een Rwandese Hutu met de Nederlandse nationaliteit, actief meegewerkt aan de moord op zo’n drieduizend Tutsi’s in een stadion in de plaats Mbazi. Hij deed dit volgens de rechters „met genocidaal oogmerk”.

Wout Weghorst mensen, wat is het toch een prachtige poseur. Zo'n heeeeerlijke aansteller. Als Wout Weghorst tot de tranen toe geroerd 'God' staat te danken na z'n eerste goede balcontact in 5,5 jaar komt er ergens in Lourdes een non klaar onder de douche. Wout Weghorst hoeft God helemaal niet te danken, en al helemaal niet voor het interview, Wout Weghorst IS God. Overal waar u kijkt is Wout Weghorst. Het zit in de lucht, in het water, in het brandende vuur. Straks in de supermarkt, als u twijfelt tussen die wit-blauwe melk van Zaanse Hoeve of toch dat bruine pak biologische melk. God bepaalt, denk aan Wout. Hoe Wout vanavond weer God op z'n blote knietjes dankt dat er in Nepal duizenden mensen onder een gruwelstroom liggen, maar het hádden er ook meer kunnen zijn. Bedankt God! De kracht die Wout Weghorst kreeg om een interview te doen nadat hij, de spits van FC Twente, de bal achter zo'n Azerbeidzjaanse knollenraper had weten te wurmen. De kracht die Wout Weghorst krijgt om 's ochtends weer te drieten op de plee, koffie te drinken, de Bijbel te lezen, naar de podcast van Gert-Jan Segers te luisteren. God God God, allemaal God, overal God, waar je ook kijkt is God. Bedankt God. Wout Weghorst, je bent een bobo, maar mooi wel ONZE bobo.

De Raad van Kerken in Nederland approves this message

CISA is still crying out for software vendors to adopt Secure by Design (SBD) development practices, and says in its latest review that longstanding vulnerability classes are still the most exploited. The agency examined soft spots across 2024 and 2025, finding that the majority of those that receive CVEs and make it to the Known Exploited Vulnerability (KEV) catalog belong to decades-old flaws that should have been addressed by now. Injection-related vulnerabilities, such as cross-site scripting (XSS) (CWE-79), OS command injections (CWE-78), and SQL injections (CWE-89) were among the most common across both CVE and KEV records in 2024-2025, CISA said. These were joined by bugs introduced by vendors that didn’t properly mitigate against improper input validation (CWE-20) in their code – the single most-common weakness type across the KEV catalog and registered CVEs. “Threat actors continue to succeed, in part, because simple, preventable software weaknesses remain unaddressed,” CISA said in the review. “Resolving fundamental issues would eliminate a significant portion of today’s most common compromises.” Readers may remember two MITRE reports that have been frequently referred to and revisited since being published years ago. Findings from a 2007 edition examining what the organization called “unforgivable vulnerabilities,” and another in 2023 referring to “stubborn weaknesses,” continue to crop up regularly in modern data. CISA said that in 2024, seven of the 10 most frequent CWEs seen on the CVE list belong to MITRE’s “stubborn weaknesses.” Equally, seven of the 10 most frequent CWEs seen on the KEV catalog, comprising 41.5 percent of all bugs on that list, were also stubborn weaknesses. And three of the top five KEVs also stemmed from unfixed holes, a finding that CISA said demonstrates “how reliably these weaknesses translate into real-world exploitation.” For reference, these three were improper input validation (CWE-20), path traversal (CWE-22), and OS command injections (CWE-78). The data from 2025 follows a similar pattern, CISA said: seven of the top 10 CWES were still those considered “unforgivable” in 2007. “Three of today’s top 10 CWEs would have been considered ‘unforgivable’ nearly two decades ago,” it said. “Their persistence today illustrates that the problem is not technical complexity: it is organizational culture, developer workflows, and systemic gaps in Secure by Design adoption.” For those who can’t remember the paper published 19 years ago, unforgivable vulnerabilities are those that exist because of common, well-documented mistakes, have an “obvious” attack path, the exploit is simple, and attackers can locate the bug in minutes. The same findings can be found in CISA’s Risk and Vulnerability Assessments (RVAs), the no-cost penetration tests the agency carries out on real organizations to improve their security and gain a richer understanding of the broader US cyber landscape. The assessments across both 2024 showed that memory safety and improper input validation vulnerabilities are the most reliable paths to exploitation, accounting for 16.7 percent of KEV entries in 2025. Injection vulnerabilities are also commonly seen in registered CVEs, although these are less commonly exploited in the real-world, especially against cyber-mature organizations. To tackle this pervasive issue, CISA is once again recommending organizations adopt SBD practices, eliminating the stubborn vulnerability classes that continue to support cyberattacks, decades after they were deemed too much of a lingering threat. It ultimately comes down to vendors helping defenders to shoulder less of the security burden. Instead of releasing patch packages that continue to swell to record sizes, just build the software responsibly in the first place. In CISA’s view, this means “owning security outcomes” for customers, killing off the so-called stubborn and unforgivable weaknesses, and improving the automation of configurations, monitoring, and updates. Software buyers should only choose vendors that meet these requirements, and ensure they have software bills of materials (SBOMs) in place to track supply chain risk. “Organizations must shift from reacting to threat actors to fixing the fundamental flaws those actors are known to exploit,” said CISA. “Stronger cybersecurity begins with software that is secure by design. “It requires prioritization of vulnerabilities and collaboration across industry and government. Finally, it demands leadership attention to understand cyber risk as a business risk, a national security threat, and an impediment to operational resilience.” ®
