Despite these efforts, the cycle of violence persists, Daily Trust gathered.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>The worst-hit villages include Guga, Anguwar Danmarka, Kandarawa, Anguwar Galadima, Gidan Sule, Gidan Chiwake, Gidan Dan Maye, Gidan Gagare, Gidan Sarkin Noma, and Gidan Nakuba.</p> Troops foil fresh Borno attack, gun down Boko Haram terrorists FG to deploy technology to stop tankers’ explosions<p>Daily Trust gathered that in the early hours of Wednesday, gunmen attacked Dutsinma Local Government Area of the state and abducted five persons including a businessman, Alhaji Babangida Maigoro. It was further gathered that two of the victims escaped while members of the community killed one of the attackers. It would be recalled that Dutsinma, which host a federal university has suffered several attacks, including abductions of students from the institution.</p><p>In recent years, these communities and others had endured attacks. Some of the assaults included an attack on Guga village in Bakori LGA in February 2022. Eight people were killed and several others abducted, including the village head. In another attack, up to 12 people were killed and 36 others kidnapped.</p><p>In February 2023, more than 40 people lost their lives in violent clashes between bandits and vigilantes following incidents of cattle rustling in the LGA.</p><p>In Faskari LGA, over 46 people, mostly elderly women and children were killed during coordinated attacks in communities such as Kadisau and Kabalawa in June 2020.</p><p>Most recently, in July 2025, security forces neutralised 30 armed bandits who had launched attacks on Kadisau, Raudama, and Sabon Layi. However, the counter-operations also resulted in the deaths of several security personnel and civilians.</p><p>Daily Trust reports that among the frontline LGAs, only three, which include Jibia, Batsari and Danmusa are currently into peace agreements with bandits. It was, however, gathered that the peace deals were forced as the villagers had no option but to comply with the demands of the criminals.</p><p>During a visit by our correspondent to Bakori town on Tuesday, it was observed that displaced persons were being sheltered by relatives, good Samaritans, and the local government council. However, many are still roaming the streets without accommodation.</p><p>‘Bandits burn houses, silos, kill families’</p><p>Residents of several communities in Bakori and Faskari LGAs of Katsina State said armed bandits attacked villages in large numbers, killing and abducting locals and razing houses and silos.</p><p>Yusuf Usman, a 68-year-old resident of Doma village, said his community and surrounding villages have endured relentless attacks over the past five years.</p><p>“More than 250 people have been killed in Doma and neighbouring villages such as Gidan Sule, Gidan Chiwake, Gidan Dan Maye, Gidan Gagare, Gidan Sarkin Noma, and Gidan Nakuba,” he said.</p><p>Usman explained that after repeated assaults, the bandits moved westward to villages like Anguwar Dan Marka, Anguwar Labo, and Anguwar Yar Dabaru, killing and displacing more residents.</p><p>“They massacre our families, torch our silos and houses, and drag us, including women and children, into the bush like animals,” he said.</p><p>Murja Sufyan, who fled Anguwar Galadima, said she has spent nearly two months in Bakori town as a refugee.</p><p>“More than 20 people were abducted in my village. From my household of 17, we fled because the bandits attack at any hour, day or night,” she said.</p><p>Imrana Shafi’u, a resident of Anguwar Dan Marka, described an encounter in which he was shot twice in the leg and left to die.</p><p>“They killed all my friends that day. I pretended to be dead until they left. I now walk with crutches,” he said.</p><p>Another survivor, Mallama Marawiya, who fled Yar Dabaru, said bandits stormed their village in broad daylight, shooting indiscriminately and abducting many, including nursing mothers and children.</p><p>“Over 10 women with their babies have been held for nearly two weeks. The abductors are demanding N1.5 million per person, including the infants,” she said.</p><p>The survivors called for urgent government intervention as the humanitarian situation worsens in the host communities, particularly Bakori town, where thousands of displaced persons are seeking refuge.</p><p>Gunmen attack funeral, mourners abandon corpses</p><p>A grieving mother of five from Anguwar Dan Marka, who preferred to be anonymous, narrated a horrifying incident on a Friday when mourners gathered to bury victims of an attack.</p><p>“While we were at the burial ground, the bandits returned and chased us away. We had to flee, leaving the corpses behind,” she said.</p><p>She said the assailants had razed her house during the attack, rendering her family homeless.</p><p>“They came on a Thursday and returned on Friday, killed so many people, burnt our homes, and stole our animals,” she said.</p><p>Her husband confirmed the account, saying the villagers had no choice but to abandon the dead and run for their lives.</p><p>“Several people were killed, and many others are still being held captive. We are now scattered, taking refuge wherever we can,” he added.</p><p>The couple described the attacks as traumatic. They appealed for government intervention to enable them to return to their farms.</p><p>“Farming is our only means of survival. We have invested heavily this season, but now we can’t go back. Without help, hunger and poverty will follow,” he said.</p><p>Ramatu Yakuba, another victim from Sabon Gida village, said life has become unbearable due to constant raids.</p><p>“The bandits kill, abduct, burn houses, and destroy our food stores. We can no longer live or farm in peace,” she lamented.</p><p>When asked if she would consider returning to her village, Ramatu said she preferred to remain in displacement.</p><p>“I did not lose anyone in the recent attacks, but last year I did. That trauma alone is enough to keep me from going back,” she said.</p><p>Sadiya, also from Sabon Gida, recounted how she and her children fled in the rain after learning the bandits were on their way.</p><p>“We ran to Yar Goje village and later continued to Bakori town late in the evening, where we found shelter. The suffering we have endured is unimaginable,” she said.</p><p>Farmer cry out over destruction</p><p>Also, recently, a video went viral of a farmer, who was lamenting the destruction to his farm.</p><p>In the video, he said; “From Allah we came and to him we shall all return. May Allah come to our aid. We won’t forgive them. May Allah intervene in our affairs and repay us. Fellow Nigerians, look at how they destroyed our farmlands.</p><p>“We spent so much money to buy fertilizer, tilled the land and planted on it, but look at how they destroyed our farmlands here in Sabuwa Local Government Area of Katsina State”.</p><p>However, in what appeared like a response to the farmer, the leadership of Sabuwa Local Government Area of the state said the destruction of farms around the major highways was part of the decision taken after wide consultations with community leaders.</p><p>The message, reportedly signed by the chairman of the council, Engr. Sagir Tanimu, stated that farmers had been advised not to plant crops like maize and others near the highways, considering that bandits were taking advantage of the farmlands to waylay travellers or attack communities.</p><p>The message which was written in Hausa Language, cited an incident that happened on July 23, 2025, when bandits first hid in the farmlands before launching an attack on Dugun-Muazu, and killed many people.</p><p>“There was no ill feeling in the clearance of the farmlands along the highway and the decision has no any political motive; it is to safeguard the life of the people,” the message said.</p><p>‘Displaced persons arrive in Bakori daily’</p><p>Kabir Mamman Yaro Bakori, Chairman of the Emergency Contact Committee on Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Bakori LGA, disclosed that about 3,500 displaced persons are currently in Bakori town, while approximately 2,200 are taking refuge in Guga.</p><p> He noted that the number of refugees keeps rising as more villages come under attack.</p><p> Bakori also said the council chairman, Abubakar Barde, had directed the provision of food three times daily for the displaced.</p><p> The committee, he said, distributes meals daily to 12 registered residences sheltering IDPs as well as to those housed at Nadabo Primary School in Bakori and others sheltered in Guga.</p><p> He called on the federal and state governments, as well as humanitarian organisations, to urgently assist the displaced, warning that the situation is becoming increasingly alarming.</p><p> Also speaking to our correspondent in a telephone interview, Abubakar Musa Barde, Chairman of Bakori Local Government Area, said about 70 per cent of the displaced persons are “mostly from Faskari and Kankara LGAs, which share boundaries with us. Most of the bandit attacks usually occur in the forest areas of those local governments. Even the recent violent incidents largely originated from that axis”.</p><p> The chairman, however, identified Kakumi, Guga, and Kandarawa as the most affected areas within Bakori.</p><p> “The state government has brought relief materials including their feeding and accommodation. As we speak, a trailer truck is off-loading relief materials including detergent, soap, spaghetti and other items they need for their upkeep. While we are doing this, the security agents are there doing their best in the areas to clear them for their safe return,” he said.</p><p>Commissioner speaks</p><p>In his reaction, the Katsina State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Nasir Muazu, said while the state government acknowledged the existence of the problem of banditry in the state and doing all it could in addressing it, the Bakori scenario was not an isolated case but part of the broader and complex security challenges in the state.</p><p>He said the state government had observed with concern the deliberate attempts by some individuals to create panic and incite fear among residents through the spread of false and misleading information on social media.</p><p>“These narratives aim to downplay the significant progress made so far in the fight against banditry and insecurity under the leadership of Governor Dikko Umaru Radda.</p><p>“When Governor Radda assumed office in 2023, all 24 local government areas of the state were affected by banditry. Today, with focused strategies and enhanced collaboration with security agencies, notable improvement has been achieved across many parts of the state,” he said.</p><p>According to Dr Mu’azu, following coordinated efforts, the LGAs of Jibia, Batsari, Danmusa, Katsina, Batagarawa, Charanchi, Bindawa, Ingawa, Kafur, Danja, Kusada, have been largely insulated from banditry attacks, while LGAs of Malumfashi, Kurfi, Dutsinma, Kankia, Musawa, Bakori, Funtua, Sabuwa, and Dandume have recorded improvements.</p><p>“Areas still experiencing attacks include Faskari, Kankara, Safana, and Matazu, and there are ongoing government interventions in these areas,” he said.</p><p>“It’s important to remind the public that the fight against banditry is complex. Many of the attacks occur deep in the forests, where response operations require time, coordination, and local intelligence. That is why the Katsina Community Watch Corps was established — to assist in these difficult terrains. They are working side by side with the Army, Air Force, Police, and local vigilantes,” “We urge the people of Katsina to remain calm and resolute. Avoid the temptation to believe or share unverified stories. If you see something suspicious, report it. There is a dedicated emergency line for prompt action,” he said.</p><p>‘Declare affected villages high-risk security zones’</p><p>A non-governmental organisation, Grassroots Advocates for Peace, Development and Equity in Nigeria, has called on the federal government to declare Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina State a high-risk security zone following repeated attacks by armed bandits.</p><p>In a statement signed by its president and convener, Nasiru Zubairu, the group highlighted the scale of destruction and displacement in the area.</p><p>“The recent violent attacks across several communities in Bakori LGA, specifically ‘Yar Tsakuwa, Guga, Kandarawa, Kakumi, and surrounding areas, have left scores of civilians dead and many others, particularly women and children, displaced,” the statement said.</p><p>The group said the bandits, armed with sophisticated weapons, stormed the villages in large numbers, killing men, women, and children, burning properties, and forcing survivors into hiding.</p><p>“We demand that Bakori LGA and the affected communities be declared high-risk security zones with urgent federal intervention to prevent further bloodshed and restore public confidence in the government’s ability to protect its citizens,” Zubairu said.</p><p>The organisation also called for the immediate deployment of military and police tactical teams, aerial surveillance, and rapid response units.</p><p>It further urged the establishment of civilian protection zones to safeguard vulnerable residents.</p><p>Other demands include the provision of humanitarian relief, psychological support for victims, and the investigation, arrest, and prosecution of the perpetrators responsible for the attacks.</p><p>Nigeria is safer today than two years ago – Ribadu</p><p>At an interactive session organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation in Kaduna on Tuesday, National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu, said Nigeria is now safer than it was two years ago.</p><p>He credited the improvement to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s directive for a coordinated national security strategy.</p><p>Ribadu noted a significant decline in Boko Haram attacks, banditry, and communal violence in the northern region since the current administration took office, compared to the previous government.</p><p>“Kaduna State alone recorded 1,192 killings and over 3,348 kidnappings under the previous administration. In Benue, over 5,000 people lost their lives within the same period,” Ribadu said.</p><p>He further disclosed that ongoing military operations in the North-West have led to the rescue of 11,259 hostages as of May 2025, with several notorious bandit leaders and their groups neutralised in Zamfara, Kaduna, and Katsina states.</p><p>Also speaking yesterday, Daniel Bwala, a media aide to President Tinubu, said on a Channels Television interview on that insecurity in Nigeria has been significantly degraded under the current administration.</p><p>Bwala said the situation has improved compared to what was experienced in previous years, insisting that Nigerians can now travel and conduct their businesses with greater confidence.</p><p>He attributed the progress to what he described as the courageous and strategic leadership of the president.</p><p>“The hallmark of a leader is the ability to make a courageous decision at the right time,” he said, noting that the president had inherited serious security and economic challenges but had made bold reforms that have started yielding results.</p><p>Bwala said places that were once plagued by constant violence, such as parts of Benue, Plateau, and the South East, had recorded a marked reduction in attacks.</p><p>He said that while isolated criminal incidents still occur, they no longer reflect a national pattern of coordinated insurgency or large-scale breakdown of law and order.</p><p> <small>Sponsored</small><p>News Update: Nigerians have now been approved to get paid in US Dollars, acquire Ultra-premium domains for as low as $1700 and profit $15,000 (₦24Million naira).

3224955	有图 <p>The cash price splashed on Nigeria’s women national football team, the Super Falcons, is enough to take care of the monthly wage bill of about 16,000 doctors, 66,000 teachers and over 78,000 lowest ranked officers of the Police Force, Checks by Daily Trust has shown.</p><p>Daily Trust reports that following their triumph at the just-concluded 2024 WAFCON tournament in Morocco, the 24 players and 11 technical crew of the Super Falcons were rewarded with a cash prize of N4.602 billion ($100,000 and $50, 000) each as well as the national honour of Officer of the Order of the Niger by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu</p> <p>The players and officials were also given the sum of N350m by the Nigerian Governors Forum, which took their cash reward to N4.952bn</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>Nigeria won the WAFCON title for a record-extending 10th time on Saturday after coming back from two goals down to beat hosts Morocco 3-2 in the final at the Rabat Olympic Stadium.</p> Troops foil fresh Borno attack, gun down Boko Haram terrorists FG to deploy technology to stop tankers’ explosions<p>The team landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Monday before proceeding to a reception organised for them by the Presidency.</p><p>President Tinubu had promised the team a befitting reception on Sunday while speaking with them after their triumph.</p><p>“Nothing else could have represented it, crucial time, crucial victory. On behalf of the grateful nation, I hereby confer on the players and the 11-man technical team the national honour of Officer of the Order of the Niger,” Tinubu had announced.</p><p>“Additionally, I hereby direct the allocation of a three-bedroom apartment for each of the players and the technical crew in our Renewed Hope Estate.</p><p>“In addition, there is a cash award of the naira equivalent of $100,000 to each of the 24 players and equivalent of $50,000 to the 11-man technical crew. Once again, I congratulate you, and I continue to pray for you. With this, the Nigerian spirit is unyielding and will never die. God bless you” the president had said.</p><p>Tinubu’s cash reward was calculated at the exchange rate of N1,562/1$.</p><p>The Super Falcons also dominated the tournament’s awards as captain Rasheedat Ajibade won the Player of the Tournament; Chiamaka Nnadozie was named the best keeper while coach Justine Madugu won the best coach award.</p><p>The thrilling dominance marked the 10th triumph of the Falcons on the continental stage after their previous triumphs in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2016 and 2018.</p><p>However, Tinubu’s cash rewards have been criticized in many quarters considering the current economic situation in the country.</p><p>Many Nigerians argued that the money, when put to good use, is enough to help every Nigerian have a decent living.</p><p>A social commentator Fr. Kelvin Ugwu who spoke on the issue noted that “The worth of the cup in WAFCON is $1m, but the money spent on the footballers and crew, both as cash gifts and material gifts, including housing, totals beyond $4m.</p><p>“Twenty-four players were given $100,000 each, that is $2.4m. Eleven crew members at $50,000 each is $550,000. That is roughly $3m. I don’t know the cost of the fully finished three-bedroom apartment for each player and crew. But you can do the maths and see. I also don’t know the cost of the dinner party and how much was paid to all the artists who performed. But I am sure you already know it will be in millions. If you put everything together, you will see that about $5m has been spent to celebrate the winning of $1m,” he said.</p><p>However, Daily Trust calculated the said amount and what it can do for critical workers like doctors, teachers and policemen with regards to their wages and welfare.</p><p>Doctors</p><p>Over time, medical doctors in Nigeria have raised concerns over poor remuneration and unfavourable working conditions with some earning less than N250,000 per month in some states despite risking their lives to care for patients.</p><p>Daily Trust findings show that the poor welfare for medical doctors is one of the key factors driving many medical professionals to seek better opportunities abroad, worsening the country’s brain drain crisis popularly known as ‘japa syndrome’.</p><p>Further findings by our correspondent revealed that private hospitals tend to pay higher salaries, while government-employed doctors are often left with inadequate incentives, earning between N200,000 and N250,000.</p><p>A medical doctor at a government-owned hospital in Abuja who did not mention his name for security concerns, lamented the financial burden he faces despite years of medical training and experience.</p><p>He explained, “It is heartbreaking to work so hard, especially in a public hospital, and still earn only N250,000 a month. The cost of living in Abuja is high with rent, transport and other things and that amount is not just sustainable.”</p><p>He explained that while Nigerian doctors are fully capable of meeting the country’s medical needs, their low pay largely explains the ongoing brain drain.</p><p>The government is indeed taking steps to increase medical school admissions and build pharmacies, laboratories, and nursing schools. However, these efforts have not stemmed the tide of doctors relocating to the US, UK and Europe. What we need are incentives and salaries commensurate with our skills and responsibilities.</p><p>The over N4bn if divided by the minimum salary of a medical doctor in a government-owned hospital can pay the wages of about 16,000 doctors.</p><p>Teachers</p><p>In Nigeria, teachers play a pivotal role in shaping the future generation, yet they often find themselves undervalued and unappreciated. Despite their significant contributions to society, teachers face numerous challenges that hinder their ability to thrive and make a lasting impact on their students.</p><p>Many teachers struggle to make ends meet due to low salaries, delayed payments, and irregularities in pension schemes. This financial strain not only affects their motivation and morale but also detracts talented individuals from pursuing a career in education.</p><p>Some Nigerian teachers, particularly those in private schools, earn salaries as low as N45,000 per month. Some even earn below the national minimum wage of N30,000. This situation is compounded by the rising cost of living and inflation, making it difficult for teachers to make ends meet.</p><p>Only recently, teachers in the FCT were on strike for over 100 days due to poor welfare.</p><p>During that time, primary school pupils in Abuja were left to their fate while government authorities and labour unions continued a protracted tug-of-war.</p><p>The industrial action, led by the FCT wing of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, was the fourth since late 2023.</p><p>The teachers were demanding the full implementation of a tripartite agreement signed on December 11, 2024, which promised a N70,000 minimum wage for teachers.</p><p>Due to the prolonged strike, children who should be in class were found roaming markets, chasing after vehicles, or hawking sachet water and groundnuts under the scorching sun.</p><p>For teachers earning just about N66,000 monthly, the over N4bn splashed on the Super Falcons by the president will be adequate to pay about 66,000 of them.</p><p>Police officers</p><p>The issue of poor packages for retired police officers has been on the front burner for a very long time in Nigeria.</p><p>Only recently, these retired officers stormed the streets nationwide protesting poor welfare, pension and other living conditions.</p><p>In Abuja, the retired police personnel who defied the downpour protested at the Force headquarters and National Assembly entrance gate, to ventilate their anger and frustration.</p><p>Also, a former presidential candidate and human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, slammed the government’s reward structure, calling it “brutally unfair” to officers of the Nigeria Police Force.</p><p>Further checks by Daily Trust have shown that a constable in the Nigerian Police Force earns between N51,000 and N75 000 monthly.</p><p>Now, the amount showered on the Super Falcons can pay about 78,000 of the lowest ranked constables in the Nigeria Police Force.</p><p> <small>Sponsored</small><p>News Update: Nigerians have now been approved to get paid in US Dollars, acquire Ultra-premium domains for as low as $1700 and profit $15,000 (₦24Million naira).

The judge ruled that there was no evidence linking them to the crime.</p><p>Justice Ajayi dismissed Bello’s claims of a romantic relationship and intention to marry Hafsat as “concocted lies” meant to deceive the court.</p><p>She added that his behavior after the crime suggested it was not his first time committing such an act.</p><p>The court accepted the video and written confessions recorded by both the Department of State Services (DSS) and the police. The judge said they were in line with legal provisions, with no signs of torture or forced confession.</p><p>According to Justice Ajayi, a book on money-making charms found at Bello’s residence further supported the prosecution’s case, reinforcing the court’s belief in his ritualistic motives,</p><p>Bello was sentenced to death by hanging for culpable homicide. On the charges of possession of human parts and blood, he received 10 years imprisonment with an option of N100,000 fine or six months additional jail term. He was however acquitted of rape.</p><p>Justice Ajayi used the opportunity to caution the public, especially young people, on the dangers of social media interactions. She noted that the victim might still be alive had she informed her family or friends about her plans to visit someone she met on Facebook.</p><p>The case gained national attention following the arraignment of Bello and the four others on a five-count charge, including conspiracy to murder, possession of human parts, and draining human blood.

However, he changed his plea at the High Court where all five pleaded not guilty.</p><p>Reacting to the judgment, the victim’s father, Mr Lawal, described the ruling as a welcome development.</p><p>He hailed the police, DSS, and other agencies involved in the case, saying it demonstrated what security operatives can achieve when they are committed.</p><p>In a chat with Daily Trust, he however, urged “Islamic clerics and madrasahs to focus on teaching beneficial knowledge rather than promoting superstitions and harmful practices”.</p><p>Daily Trust had reported in February that Bello was arrested by the police following the discovery of Hafsat’s dismembered body.</p><p>He had planned to use her body parts for a ritual soap.</p><p>Bello had reportedly met Hafsat on Facebook. After several chats and calls, he lured her to his home on the pretext of friendship.</p><p>On February 10, Hafsat, who was attending a naming ceremony, abruptly left after receiving a call from Bello. Family members described her behavior as strange and possibly influenced by charm or hypnosis.</p><p>Following a missing-person report filed by her parents at Oja Oba Police Station, the police tracked her phone’s last incoming call to Bello’s residence at Garage Offa area of Ilorin.</p><p>Initially, Bello denied knowing her whereabouts.</p><p>He later claimed she had an asthma attack and died.</p><p>But further investigation revealed her body parts had been dismembered and stored in buckets.</p><p>Her wrists were found soaked in a bottle of alcohol, while other parts were dumped at a refuse site in Olunlade.</p><p>The father said he only recognized her daughter with the henna on her wrists.</p><p>Senior Islamic scholars in Ilorin condemned the murder and called for justice, especially as ritual killings have become a growing concern in the state.</p><p>The Kwara State Council of Ulama, led by the Chief Imam of Ilorin, Sheikh Mohammad Bashir Solih, condemned the killing and urged a thorough investigation.</p><p>“We insist the law must take its course.

Het gevaar van een tsunami is bijna overal geweken, maar in delen van Chili en Nieuw-Zeeland is het nog niet veilig.</p> <p>Langs een deel van de Nieuw-Zeelandse kust is ook vandaag weer opgeroepen om niet het strand op te gaan en uit het water te blijven. Als gevolg van de beving zijn er geen hoge golven, maar kunnen er de komende uren nog sterke en ongebruikelijke stromingen zijn.</p> <p>Nieuw-Zeeland ligt op ongeveer 9600 kilometer van het epicentrum van de beving. De golven die daar aan land kwamen waren op de meeste plekken 30 tot 40 centimeter hoger dan normaal. Door een storing in het waarschuwingssysteem kregen inwoners "s nachts onterecht waarschuwingen voor hogere golven. De autoriteiten hebben een onderzoek aangekondigd om te achterhalen wat de oorzaak van de storing is.</p> Overleden bij evacuatie <p>In Zuid-Amerika wordt alleen in sommige delen van Chili nog gewaarschuwd voor hogere golven. Mensen wordt geadviseerd om weg te blijven van de kustlijn. Volgens de Chileense minister van Binnenlandse Zaken worden de waarschuwingen in de loop van vandaag ingetrokken. Lokaal zijn langs de kust volgens de minister golven gemeten van 1,1 tot 2,5 meter.</p> <p>Op Paaseiland, het Chileense eiland op zo"n 3700 kilometer van het vasteland, werd een stijging van de zeespiegel gemeld.

3224939	无图 <p>Er zitten verschillende tegenstrijdigheden in het verhaal van de overheid over de nacht dat Jeffrey Epstein stierf in zijn cel en de bewakingsbeelden die deze maand zijn vrijgegeven. Dat meldt de Amerikaanse nieuwszender CBS News op basis van eigen onderzoek.</p> <p>Epstein werd in 2019 dood aangetroffen in zijn cel in een gevangenis in Manhattan, nadat hij was aangeklaagd voor sekshandel. Zijn dood werd bestempeld als zelfmoord, een conclusie die inmiddels voer is geworden voor complottheorieën.</p> <p>CBS bekeek de bewakingsbeelden van de nacht van Epsteins dood en zegt dat er niets is dat de conclusie dat Epstein zelfmoord pleegde, weerlegt. "Maar het roept wel vragen op over de kracht en geloofwaardigheid van het overheidsonderzoek, dat conclusies lijkt te hebben getrokken uit de video die niet direct zichtbaar zijn", aldus de zender.</p> <p>Zo meldt de zender op basis van beoordelingen van deskundigen dat de video die door het ministerie van Justitie is vrijgegeven, mogelijk niet de originele, ruwe beelden bevat, maar eerder een schermopname. Daar lijkt het sterk op, omdat op een bepaald moment een cursor en een menu op het scherm verschijnen in de video.</p> Figuur in oranje uniform <p>Daarnaast klopt een bewering van de FBI niet, zegt CBS. De veiligheidsdienst zegt dat bewakingscamera"s in de gevangenis iedereen hebben vastgelegd die in de buurt van Epsteins cel kwam, maar uit analyse van de beelden blijkt volgens CBS dat de trap naar de celvloer vrijwel volledig buiten het zicht van de camera valt. Ook de ingang van de cel zelf zou buiten het zicht van de camera vallen.</p> <p>Het CBS-onderzoek trekt ook een verklaring van de overheid in twijfel over een oranje gedaante die de avond van Epsteins dood de trap opliep. De inspecteur-generaal heeft vastgesteld dat het om een gevangenisbewaarder ging die bedlinnen of kleding van een gevangene droeg.</p> <p>Experts op het gebied van forensisch videomateriaal vertelden CBS dat de vorm mogelijk die van een persoon in een oranje gevangenisoverall was. "Op basis van de beperkte video is het waarschijnlijker dat het om een persoon in een [oranje] uniform gaat", stelt een forensisch video-expert aan CBS.</p> Ontbrekende minuut <p>Opvallend is volgens CBS ook dat de beelden vlak voor middernacht een minuut vooruit springen en dat de beeldverhouding verandert. Ook dat zou aantonen dat het niet om origineel beeldmateriaal gaat.</p> <p>Minister van Justitie Pam Bondi zei tijdens een kabinetsvergadering op 8 juli dat de ontbrekende minuut te wijten was aan een nachtelijke reset van het verouderde beveiligingssysteem. CBS meldt nu op basis van een verklaring van een hooggeplaatste overheidsbron dat onder meer de FBI en het kantoor van de inspecteur-generaal over beelden beschikken waar de minuut niet ontbreekt.</p> <p>Waarom Bondi zei dat de video een reset maakte, is niet duidelijk. Het kantoor van de inspecteur-generaal zegt in een reactie op het onderzoek van CBS de "zorgvuldige beoordeling" te waarderen. "Zoals CBS zelf opmerkt, komt uit het onderzoek niets naar boven dat de conclusies of aanbevelingen van de inspecteur-generaal wijzigt."</p> Trump <p>De steenrijke investeerder Jeffrey Epstein zat voor zijn dood vast op verdenking van seksueel misbruik en mensenhandel.

De dierentuin is de enige die koala"s huisvest en spreekt daarom van een unieke gebeurtenis.</p> <p>De baby is inmiddels zo"n twee maanden oud, maar nu pas is de geboorte vastgesteld. De verzorgers van de koalamoeder hadden al een vermoeden dat ze had gejongd, maar wisten het zeker toen een ronding zichtbaar werd in de buidel.</p> <p>Een joey, zoals een koalababy wordt genoemd, ziet er in het begin niet zo knuffelig uit als een volwassen exemplaar. Bij de geboorte is het diertje blind en kaal, en klimt het zo snel mogelijk naar de buidel. Daar blijft het de eerste maanden zitten en is het niet zichtbaar.</p> <p>Dat de koalamoeder een kleintje heeft gekregen is geen vanzelfsprekendheid. Het mannetje en het vrouwtje leven in gescheiden verblijven en moeten op het goede moment bij elkaar worden gezet. Sinds de koala"s vorig jaar april aankwamen in de dierentuin zijn meerdere pogingen gedaan om de buideldieren te laten paren.</p> Bedreigde diersoort <p>Het publiek zal nog enkele maanden moeten wachten tot de baby-koala te zien is. Aan het eind van het jaar steekt hij of zij waarschijnlijk voor het eerst de kop uit de buidel.

3224937	无图 <p>Vier deskundigen op het gebied van de woningmarkt hebben een brandbrief gestuurd naar politici waarin ze pleiten voor "een realistisch langetermijnbeleid". Volgens de vier experts is er in Den Haag sprake van "zigzag-politiek" als het gaat om de aanpak van het woningtekort. Sommige plannen van politieke partijen maken de problemen eerder groter dan kleiner, stellen ze in het AD.</p> <p>Zo krijgen ze buikpijn van een recent plan van de VVD, zegt een van hen in het NOS Radio 1 Journaal. De partij wil starters helpen met een premie voor de financiering van hun eerste woning. "Dat is voor die starters natuurlijk hartstikke fijn, maar tegelijkertijd gaat het ervoor zorgen dat de woningprijzen alleen maar meer onder druk komen te staan," zegt Desirée Uitzetter, expert gebiedsontwikkeling en toezichthouder van brancheorganisatie NEPROM.</p> <p>"De prijzen gaan omhoog, de vraag wordt groter en het aanbod kan dat bij lange na niet bijbenen." En ook aan de linkerzijde van het politieke spectrum gaat het volgens Uitzetter mis door te veel regels over de prijzen van woningen en de rol van woningcorporaties.</p> Focus op langere termijn <p>"De regels worden nog strakker en strenger. En de corporaties zitten al behoorlijk in het nauw als het gaat om hoeveel woningen zij jaarlijks kunnen opleveren."</p> <p>Volgens Uitzetter moet zorgvuldiger worden gekeken naar wat er nodig is om jaar in jaar uit te zorgen voor "een structureel hoger niveau van woningproductie". De ambitie is 100.000 nieuwe woningen per jaar, maar de productie blijft daar structureel bij achter. Die moet dus omhoog en dat kan volgens Uitzetter door veel meer op de lange termijn te focussen in plaats van op de vier jaar waar politici meestal mee werken.</p> <p>Zo heeft de overheid tijdens de crisis tussen 2008 en 2010 flink ingegrepen op de woningmarkt. Daar hebben we nog steeds last van, aldus Uitzetter. "Plannen zijn toen in de ijskast gezet of geschrapt, die we nu weer keihard nodig hebben."</p> <p>Toen de vraag naar woningen stokte, is het aanbod enorm naar beneden gebracht, terwijl demografen toen ook al voorspelden dat de vraag op de langere termijn weer zou toenemen. "Dus kijk voorbij die vier jaar", adviseert ze politici.</p> Meer grond kopen <p>Sinds de crisis koopt de overheid ook geen grond meer op. De deskundigen willen dat de overheid dat wel weer gaat doen. Ze adviseren gemeenten om weer actief grond te gaan opkopen, bijvoorbeeld van boeren, om daar woongebieden op te ontwikkelen.</p> <p>"Door het huidige demissionaire kabinet is 390 miljoen vrijgemaakt om grond te kopen. Wij zeggen: dat mag wat uitgebreid worden en dichter naar de lokale, gemeentelijke overheden toegebracht worden, zodat zij weer actiever kunnen worden in dat speelveld."</p> <p>Ook moet het taboe op het afschaffen van de hypotheekrenteaftrek doorbroken worden, vinden de deskundigen. Ze roepen de politici op om dat fiscale voordeel voor huiseigenaren in vijftien jaar af te bouwen, te beginnen met een regeling voor de duurste woningen. Daarmee kan volgens hen 6 miljard euro worden bespaard.</p> Woningmarktexperts willen af van 'zigzag-beleid' door politici	查看 3160	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-07-31 19:41:58 2025-07-31 23:47:02	word

3224935	无图 <p>Het Oekraïense parlement heeft met overweldigende meerderheid een wetsvoorstel over anticorruptie goedgekeurd. Met de wet wordt de onafhankelijkheid hersteld van twee van de belangrijkste anticorruptiewaakhonden van het land. Daarmee is een omstreden besluit van vorige week, dat hun zelfstandigheid beperkte, teruggedraaid.</p> <p>Het Oekraïense parlement, in Kyiv, keurde het nieuwe voorstel van president Zelensky goed met 331 stemmen voor en negen onthoudingen.</p> <p>Het Oekraïense parlement stemde vorige week juist in met een wet die regelde dat de twee belangrijke anticorruptie-organisaties onder het Openbaar Ministerie werden geplaatst. Dat leidde tot straatprotesten in het hele land. Het waren de eerste grote demonstraties sinds de grootschalige Russische invasie op 24 februari 2022.</p> <p>De angst bestond dat de regering zich met corruptieonderzoek kon gaan bemoeien en medestanders zou kunnen beschermen tegen controles. De maatregel van Zelensky leidde vorige week ook tot verontwaardiging bij de Europese Unie en internationale mensenrechtenorganisaties.</p> Solide fundamenten <p>Daarna liet Zelensky weten dat hij wilde dat de organisaties onafhankelijk hun werk konden blijven doen. Hij kondigde de nieuwe wet aan, waarvoor het parlement moest terugkeren van reces.</p> <p>De strijd tegen corruptie is cruciaal voor Oekraïnes aspiraties om toe te treden tot de EU. De EU steunde in 2015 de oprichting van NABOe en SAPO, de belangrijkste anticorruptie-organisaties in het land. "Het moet op deze solide fundamenten voortbouwen en onafhankelijke anticorruptie-organen in stand houden, die de hoeksteen vormen van de Oekraïense rechtsstaat", zei Eurocommissie-voorzitter Von der Leyen zondag nog.</p> Correspondent Midden- en Oost-Europa Christiaan Paauwe: <p>"Zelensky heeft duidelijk totaal verkeerd ingeschat wat de aanval op deze twee anti-corruptie-instanties los zou maken in de samenleving. Want voor Oekraïners stond niet alleen de strijd tegen corruptie maar ook de toekomst binnen de EU op het spel.</p> <p>Mensen zijn gerustgesteld dat er naar ze geluisterd is en trots op het feit dat Oekraïne ondanks ruim 3 jaar oorlog nog steeds een functionerende democratie is. Maar Zelensky"s reputatie heeft wel een grote klap opgelopen, zowel bij de bevolking als binnen zijn eigen partij. Parlementsleden stemden mee omdat dit van hun leider gevraagd werd. Maar nog altijd is er veel discussie waarom hij deze wet er per se zo doorheen wilde jagen.</p> <p>Het argument dat dit was om Russische infiltranten uit deze instanties te verdrijven, werd zelfs binnen zijn eigen partij niet geloofd. Daardoor lijkt het erop dat Zelensky zijn eigen mensen tegen wie een corruptie-onderzoek loopt, wilde beschermen. Partijleden hopen nog altijd meer opheldering te krijgen van hun president."</p> Oekraïense wet aangenomen, onafhankelijkheid anticorruptie-organen hersteld	查看 2886	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-07-31 20:13:42 2025-07-31 23:47:02	word
3224934	无图 <p>Nu de druk op Israël groeit om maatregelen te nemen om het lijden in Gaza te stoppen, zijn de ogen gericht op Duitsland. De Duitse regering is tegen Europese sancties, waarmee die praktisch onmogelijk zijn, maar ook binnen Duitsland neemt de druk toe.</p> <p>Vandaag reist minister van buitenlandse zaken Johann Wadephul naar Israël om met zijn Israëlische collega Gideon Saar, en mogelijk ook met premier Benjamin Netanyahu, te spreken. Morgen bezoekt hij de Westelijke Jordaanoever en praat hij met vertegenwoordigers van de Palestijnse Autoriteit. Het zijn gesprekken die mogelijk bepalen of Duitsland toch overstag gaat, wat een grote breuk met het verleden zou zijn.</p> <p>Maar veel is onduidelijk, want noch de Duitse bondskanselier Merz, noch minister Wadephul heeft laten weten wat Israël zou moeten doen om Duitsland gerust te stellen. Omgekeerd is niet duidelijk welke middelen de bondskanselier bereid is om in te zetten tegen Israël, of hij bereid is wapenleveringen stop te zetten of in EU-verband afspraken over wetenschappelijke en economische samenwerking op te zeggen.</p> <p>Op een persconferentie begin deze week, waarin Merz het bezoek van Wadephul aan Israël aankondigde, zei hij dat hij die opties openhoudt. Daarvoor wacht hij de gesprekken van vandaag en morgen af.</p> Blijvende verantwoordelijkheid <p>De Duitse regering ziet zichzelf nog altijd als bondgenoot van Israël. Het gevoel van verantwoordelijkheid voor de veiligheid van Israël, die voorkomt uit de Holocaust, is diep verankerd. "Die verantwoordelijkheid is voor mij als Duitse bondskanselier nooit onderhandelbaar", zei toenmalig bondskanselier Angela Merkel in 2008 in de Knesset. De woorden werden door haar opvolgers Scholz en Merz herhaald.</p> <p>Toch groeit de ontevredenheid over de houding van de Duitse regering, ook onder de Duitsers zelf. Waar kritiek eerder vooral uit zeer linkse hoek kwam, of van groepen met een migratieachtergrond die het Duitse verleden minder met zich meedragen, wordt die nu veel breder gedeeld.</p> <p>Eind 2023 vond, volgens peilingen van Infratest Dimap, 41 procent van de Duitsers dat het antwoord van het Israëlische leger op het terrorisme van Hamas te ver ging; de afgelopen maand was dat gegroeid tot 63 procent. En deze week meldde peilingsbureau Forsa dat bijna driekwart van de Duitsers vindt dat de regering meer druk op Israël moet uitoefenen om het leed in Gaza te stoppen.</p> <p>Onder die groeiende druk en door het toenemende leed in Gaza is ook de toon van bondskanselier Merz veranderd. In een interview met de WDR zei hij in mei dat hij niet meer begrijpt wat het Israëlische leger in Gaza doet. "De bevolking zo hard te treffen als de afgelopen dagen steeds meer gebeurde, laat zich niet meer uitleggen als de strijd tegen terrorisme van Hamas."</p> <p>Coalitiegenoot SPD wil inmiddels de wapenleveringen stoppen en het handelsakkoord opschorten. De christendemocraten willen dat vooralsnog niet. Merz zet liever in op diplomatieke druk achter de schermen, waarvan tot nu toe onduidelijk blijft wat die oplevert.</p> "Zwijgen heeft niets gebracht" <p>Ook in diplomatieke kringen groeit de ontevredenheid over de Duitse aanpak. Onlangs schreven dertien oud-ambassadeurs een open brief aan minister Wadephul, waarin ze hem aansporen tot meer actie; een ongebruikelijke zet.</p> <p>"Diplomatieke druk is een argument dat ik als diplomaat natuurlijk goed begrijp", zegt Martin Kobler, een van de ondertekenaars van de brief, in gesprek met de NOS. "Je moet weten wanneer je spreekt, maar ook wanneer je zwijgt. Maar dat zwijgen heeft niets gebracht." Hij wijst niet alleen op Wadephul, maar ook op zijn voorgangers. "Wat dat betreft vind ik het goed, als de regering ook openlijk druk zet."</p> <p>Naast ambassadeur in Irak en Egypte, was hij van 1994 tot 1997 de hoogste Duitse vertegenwoordiger in de Palestijnse Gebieden. Moeite om de Duitse verantwoordelijkheid voor Israël uit te leggen, had hij nooit, zegt hij.</p> <p>"Ik ben nog opgegroeid met de discussie met mijn ouders, die de Tweede Wereldoorlog hebben meegemaakt en zich voor de Holocaust moesten verantwoorden", vertelt de diplomaat. "In een interview zei de minister van Buitenlandse Zaken onlangs: "we zijn niet neutraal, we zijn partijdig. We staan aan de kant van Israël"." Een uitspraak waar Kobler achter staat.

3224933	无图 <p>Hoewel de Westerscheldetunnel sinds eind vorig jaar tolvrij is, neemt het aantal passagiers op de betaalde veerboot tussen Vlissingen en Breskens niet af. Het aantal passagiers op de Westerschelde Ferry is het eerste halfjaar van dit jaar zelfs iets gestegen, vooral door het aantal toeristen dat een overtocht maakt.</p> <p>"Je hebt natuurlijk een bepaalde doelstelling en je probeert altijd zoveel mogelijk mensen op de ferry te krijgen", zegt Wiljan Vloet van de Westerschelde Ferry bij Omroep Zeeland. "Dus elke stijging is een positief effect."</p> <p>Jarenlang was het een hot item in Zeeland: automobilisten moesten 5 euro tol betalen om door de Westerscheldetunnel te rijden. Het kon niet anders, zei politiek Den Haag. De in 2003 geopende tunnel was gefinancierd op basis van tolheffing. Tot eind 2032 zouden automobilisten vijf euro per rit moeten neerleggen om de aanleg van de tunnel terug te betalen.</p> Zeeuwse lobby <p>Maar vorig jaar bleek dat het toch anders kon. Na een Zeeuwse lobby stelde het kabinet 140 miljoen euro beschikbaar en op 30 december werd de Westerscheldetunnel acht jaar eerder dan gepland tolvrij voor gewone automobilisten. Vrachtauto"s betalen nog wel tol.</p> <p>De verwachting was dat de gratis tunnel een aderlating zou zijn voor de Westerschelde Ferry, waar je als voetganger 5,85 euro en als (brom-)fietser 7,40 euro per overtocht betaalt. Maar uit de cijfers blijkt nu dat de eerste zes maanden van dit jaar 215.000 betalende passagiers de overtocht met de boot hebben gemaakt. Dat zijn er 5000 meer dan in dezelfde periode in 2024.</p> Naar school of werk <p>Wie inzoomt op de cijfers, ziet dat het aantal Zeeuwen dat van de veerboot gebruikmaakt om naar school of werk te gaan flink is gedaald. Het ging van 51.000 vorig jaar naar 44.000 in de eerste helft van dit jaar. Maar die afname wordt dus meer dan goedgemaakt door toeristen.</p> <p>Vloet is niet verbaasd. Hij organiseert verschillende campagnes om de boot onder de aandacht te brengen van toeristen. Komend weekend tijdens de Visserijfeesten in Breskens kunnen passagiers zich bijvoorbeeld laten schminken.</p> <p>Nu wil de directeur van de Westerschelde Ferry ook de Zeeuwen terugwinnen. Want vooral "s ochtends, als de toeristen nog slapen, is het hem te rustig aan boord. "De boten van 7.18 uur en 8.18 uur uit Breskens hebben elke ochtend dertig tot veertig mensen minder aan boord", zegt hij.</p> <p>Daarom start de Westerschelde Ferry binnenkort met een nieuwe campagne om de zogenoemde B-tag, waarmee je met korting reist, meer bekendheid te geven onder Zeeuwen.</p> Gratis tunnel leidt niet tot minder passagiers op betaalde Zeeuwse ferry	查看 2653	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-07-31 20:47:58 2025-07-31 23:47:02	word
