Bij een slagerij in Rotterdam-Noord is in de nacht van zaterdag op zondag een explosie geweest. Daardoor barstte een ruit en raakte de gevel beschadigd. Dat melden 112-fotografen.
Rotterdam hangt vol camera’s. Niet alleen politie en gemeente houden een oogje in het zeil, ook winkeliers, horecaondernemers, coffeeshophouders en inwoners filmen erop los. De Vlaamse kunstenaar Maarten Inghels fietste en wandelde zes dagen door de stad, op zoek naar een route waarop hij ongezien kon blijven.
Voetbal is een spel van negentig minuten en aan het eind verlies je je tanden, want die zijn eruit geslagen door een doorgesnoven Jhon van Burgerking. Zo rond als een tonnetje was hij de clown van het Nederlandse profvoetbal en daarna ging hij in de hennepteelt, in mishandeling en in de striptenten. Kennelijk deed hij ook nog aan voetbalcoachen, want samen met zijn broer was hij 'werkzaam' bij GVVV. Daar ramde hij gisteren IN DE RUST de tanden uit de mond van een speler van de tegenstander. Die speler was eerder van GVVV naar IJsselmeervogels gegaan en blijkbaar is dat verboden. Van Burgerking is samen met die broer van 'm per direct weggejorist en opgerot. En dan hoeft de KNVB hem alleen nog maar een levenslange schorsing op te leggen - in het voetbal kunnen we deze lui missen als kiespijn.

Chefs in the east of the country are shunning imported produce for local ingredients, reinforcing how food is intertwined with a region and its people
‘It’s a magical place, and not just because of the hotel.” Standing outside the greenhouses at Högbo Brukshotell, two hours north of Stockholm, Stefan Johansson is talking about far more than hospitality. The former head chef, now responsible for sustainability at Högbo, has spent much of the past decade helping reshape the way this corner of Sweden grows, cooks and thinks about food.
The catalyst was disarmingly simple. Years ago, a journalist asked Johansson why he was cooking the food he was cooking. Like many ambitious Swedish chefs, Stefan trained in Stockholm’s top restaurants, where ingredients from around the world were only a phone call away. The question lingered long after the interview ended.

One is a boy of 15, who threw a burning cigarette into a wood near Bordeaux. Another is a 36-year-old man who set a paper bag of rubbish on fire in bushes near Perpignan. A third is a 50-year-old woman accused of lighting 17 fires south of La Rochelle.
According to the French interior ministry, since the start of a summer in which a record 115,000 hectares of forest, scrub and heathland have gone up in flames, 514 people – including 198 minors – have been arrested on suspicion of starting wildfires.

The Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party rattled European politics this week after a convincing victory in a German state election, which placed it only a few seats away from forming the country’s first state-level far right government since the second world war.
Elon Musk was thrilled.

Britain is embarking on one of the largest overhauls of its electricity grid in generations – a megaproject in which five times more infrastructure will be built by 2030 than was constructed during the previous three decades.
Tens of billions of pounds are being spent on new pylons, subsea cables and converter stations to connect a growing fleet of wind and solar farms and carry clean power to where it is needed.

Apple has just launched a range of new iPhones, including a foldable handset, just as you decide it is time to replace your own ageing mobile. But you balk at the £1,199 price tag for the cheapest of the new options.
Searching online for a better price with the words “cheap”, “iPhone” and “deal”, you come across a website which offers an iPhone 18 Pro for a couple of hundred pounds less than the Apple site. You pay for the new phone via a bank transfer and wait for it to arrive.

Tesco has alerted City of London police after it became the latest in a string of companies and sports stars, including Barclays bank and Lewis Hamilton, to have its image hijacked in a “scam” by unlicensed casinos advertising via Facebook and Instagram.
The supermarket chain is among several household-name businesses to have been targeted in an apparent effort by casinos that cannot legally operate in Britain to capitalise on their brand recognition.

Champion floors challenger with concussive right
López, Haney, Stevenson among possible fights
Ryan Garcia needed less than four minutes to blow away Conor Benn before turning his sights on the rest of the welterweight division.
The 28-year-old American demolished Benn inside two rounds on Saturday night to retain his World Boxing Council championship at 147lb, dropping the British challenger with a concussive right hand before the referee stepped in moments later at T-Mobile Arena. Then, with Teófimo López taunting him from ringside and threatening to storm the ring, Garcia made it clear he was ready to take on all comers.

This collapsed doline provides access to an extensive cave system. The tall tree in foreground is a Karri (Eucalyptus diversicolor), this species being one of Western Australia's most iconic and majestic forest giants. Native bees have hives in the hollows in the trunks and old branches.
Visitors descend 350 stairs through this large natural sinkhole (doline) containing the towering karri trees, into a lush sunken forest before reaching the cave doors.
This is the only show cave show cave in this region that features a permanent, mirror-like reflective lake. Dripping water continues to feed delicate straws, stalactites, stalagmites, and shawls while creating ripples on the lake.
