3197407	有图 <p>The House of Representatives yesterday called on the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun and heads of other security agencies to step up efforts to safeguard lives and property in the face of worsening insecurity across the country.</p><p>This resolution followed two motions of urgent public importance moved by Reps. Zakaria Nyampa (Adamawa) and Sulaiman Gumi (Zamfara), who raised alarm over recurring attacks in their constituencies by terrorists and armed gangs.</p> <p>Rising under matters of urgent public importance, Rep. Nyampa told lawmakers that communities in his Madagali/Michika Federal Constituency had come under repeated attacks, with the latest assault on Tuesday leaving at least five dead and several others abducted in Dar and Pambla communities of Adamawa State.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>He said the victims who are mostly rural farmers had been displaced from their homes and farmlands, undermining national food security and worsening humanitarian conditions in the area.</p> Coalition members move to exit old parties Makkah Grand Mosque Friday sermon to be translated into 35 languages today<p>Nyampa said the attacks had persisted due to the absence of sustained security presence, which had emboldened the perpetrators to act with impunity. “Just yesterday, these two communities were attacked again. The silence and slow response by security agencies is deeply troubling,” he said.</p><p>The lawmaker called for the urgent establishment of a military base in Madagali and the designation of affected areas as security priority zones.</p><p>He also urged the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to immediately provide relief and support to displaced families.</p><p>Similarly, Rep. Gumi of Zamfara said his constituents in Gummi/Bukkuyum Federal Constituency were being forced from their homes due to incessant bandits’ attacks. He called on federal authorities to intervene and prevent further loss of lives and property.</p><p>Speaker Tajudeen Abbas referred the motions to the House Committees on Army, Police Affairs, and National Emergency and Disaster Management for further legislative action.</p><p>In a related development, Rep. Princess Chinwe Clara Nnabuife (Anambra) has called on the Inspector-General of Police to immediately investigate the killing of 10 Ebonyi indigenes in Ogboji, Orumba South LGA of Anambra State.</p><p>Speaking at the National Assembly Press Centre in Abuja, Nnabuife condemned the killings, describing it as senseless and avoidable. She blamed the violence on an internal leadership crisis within the Ebonyi Union in the community.</p><p>“This is not an ethnic or communal conflict,” she said. “It is a tragic outcome of an internal dispute among members of the same ethnic group,” she said.</p><p>Nnabuife called on security agencies to apprehend the culprits and ensure they were brought to justice.</p><p>Military kills notorious terrorists, arrests 1,191</p><p>Meanwhile, the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has announced the killing of several high-profile terrorists and the arrest of 1,191 others across the country between April and June 2025.</p><p>Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Markus Kangye, disclosed this during a quarterly media briefing in Abuja. He said troops under various operations—Hadin Kai, Safe Haven, UDO KA, Fasin Yamma and Delta Safe—recorded significant gains.</p><p>Among those neutralised were terrorist kingpins such as Amir Abu Fatimah, Abdul Jamilu, Mallam Jidda, Maiwada, and Onowu. Kangye also confirmed that Yellow Danbokkolo, another notorious bandit leader, died from injuries sustained in a previous encounter.</p><p>The DHQ also listed the arrest of several wanted gunrunners and kidnappers, including Buhari Umar, Hassan Mohammed, and Saleh Sani. “Our troops also rescued 543 kidnapped victims,” Kangye said.</p><p>He added that 682 terrorists and their families surrendered during the period under review, while the military foiled oil theft worth over N3.5 billion under Operation Delta Safe.</p><p>Recovered items included over 2 million litres of stolen crude oil, 605,393 litres of illegally refined diesel (AGO), 41,465 litres of kerosene, and 26,905 litres of petrol.</p><p>“We reaffirm our commitment to ending all threats to national security. Troops across theatres remain resolute,” Kangye assured.</p><p>Anti-aircraft ammunition recovered in Niger</p><p>Separately, the Niger State Police Command said it recovered 50 rounds of anti-aircraft live ammunition abandoned by bandits following a joint military-police bombardment in Biyemu Forest.</p><p>Command spokesman, SP Wasiu Abiodun, said the operation followed reports of bandit attacks in Watari village, near Rijau. He confirmed that several casualties were inflicted on the criminals during the operation.</p><p>“The police received a report on June 25, at about 9am that suspected bandits attacked Watari village via Rijau and its environs.</p><p>“Operatives carried out a bombardment from Sulupawa village via Rijau to Kumbashi and Kakihum areas of Mariga.</p><p>“During the operation, the hoodlums recorded heavy casualties,” the police said.</p><p>During a follow-up assessment of the operation, he said the police operatives of Rijau Division, recovered 50 rounds of anti-aircraft live ammunition abandoned by bandits at Biyemu forest on June 28, as a result of the bombardment.”</p><p>He said that security assessment and investigation was ongoing with a view to fortify the area against reoccurrence, while tactical teams were still being maintained at strategic locations for security coverage.</p><p>Recent attacks and killings</p><p>Across northern Nigeria and other parts of the country, violence continues to escalate. In Benue State, over 100 people were killed recently in Yelwata community alone. On May 10, armed herders attacked Tse-Abwa and Tse-Gbuusu in Gwer West LGA, killing eight in a late-night raid, among several other incidents.</p><p>In Plateau State, at least 25 people were killed on May 19 in coordinated attacks on communities in Mangu LGA.</p><p>Other affected states such as Borno, Zamfara, Sokoto, Yobe, and Niger have also seen a spike in attacks in recent weeks, with both civilians and soldiers falling victim to ambushes and raids by insurgents and bandits.</p><p>Reacting to the worsening security situation, a retired Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Wilson Inalegwu, has called for a return to community-based policing and stronger public engagement by the security agencies to stem the tide of insecurity.</p><p>Speaking to Daily Trust, Inalegwu said no security architecture can succeed without public involvement and trust. “Security can’t be achieved by force alone. You need an informed and engaged public to support early warning and response efforts,” he said.</p><p>He urged security agencies to invest in sensitisation and build systems that allow civilians to report unusual activities promptly. “The public must be situationally aware. Every crisis starts from a place—when people notice strange things, they should have the channels and trust to report,” he added.</p><p>He also advocated cross-border cooperation between state governors, especially in conflict-prone areas. “Governors of Benue, Nasarawa, Kogi, Plateau and Taraba must come together. These attacks don’t respect state boundaries.”</p><p>Inalegwu emphasised the need to revitalise divisional police stations, which he said were neglected. “Today, some of our best officers are attached to VIPs instead of manning stations. That weakens our response structure,” he said.</p><p>He called for better police training facilities, mandatory CCTV installation in business premises, and legislation that mandates private sector support for surveillance efforts.</p><p>“Security must be seen as a shared responsibility between the state and the people,” he said.</p><p>Meanwhile, in an interview with one of our correspondents last night, a retired director from the Department of State Services (DSS), Mike Ejiofor, attributed attacks in most of the rural areas to poor communications networks in those areas, particularly in remote areas.</p><p>Ejiofor, who is also the President, Alumni Association of the National Institute for Security Studies (AANISS), explained that the criminals operate freely and carry out their attacks unhindered because the victims could hardly mobilise by informing others due to poor communications.</p><p>He, however, said people need to be involved in security matters in their respective domains in order to solve the insecurity challenges, adding that creating military formations can only help reduce the menace.</p><p>“Yes, setting up military formations can only help to reduce the challenges, but we can’t solve all the problems militarily. People need to get involved in order to ensure that the problem is solved,” the former intelligence officer told Daily Trust.</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).

3197406	有图 <p>The “owners” of political power in Nigeria appeared to have entered panic mode on Wednesday when the platform of the opposition, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) was to be launched. A few hours before the event, the organisers got a rude shock when the hotel abruptly cancelled a fully paid reservation. The Wells Carlton Hotel and Apartments in Asokoro, Abuja, said they had to cancel the event due to an unspecified “internal compliance matter.” The very late cancellation could only have meant some powerful people wanted to stop the inauguration of the coalition because they were afraid. Nonetheless, it was a very strange behaviour because the reality of Nigeria is that you cannot stop the opposition meeting. On numerous occasions over the past few months, the police have been sent in to stop PDP meetings or occupy their offices. It was essentially the concerns of opposition parties that the government is crossing red lines in interfering with their structures that created the impetus for unity. Clearly, the Fourth Republic might be facing an existential risk if the government seeks to destroy opposition parties.</p><p>It is interesting that immediately after the inauguration, the Presidency launched a scathing attack on former President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointees who have joined the opposition coalition that is organising to challenge President Bola Tinubu in 2027. Bayo Onanuga, the special adviser to President Tinubu on Media and Strategy, criticised some opposition members for their alleged personal ambitions and lack of ideology. Some of those mentioned by Mr Onanuga include: Rotimi Amaechi: a former transportation minister and APC stalwart, who Mr Onanuga claimed “lost interest” in the party after losing the presidential primary to Mr Tinubu in 2022; Abubakar Malami: a former Attorney-General, who was said to have been estranged from the APC when President Tinubu assumed leadership and since he (Malami) lost the governorship bid in Kebbi and Hadi Sirika, a former aviation minister facing trial for contract splitting and other allegations, which Mr Onanuga claimed compromised his integrity. Finally, there was Rauf Aregbesola, a former governor and internal affairs minister under President Buhari, who Mr Onanuga said was expelled from the APC for anti-party conduct during the last Osun election. If these people have been divorced from the ruling party, why would they not seek new companionship with an opposition platform?</p> <p>The key political problem facing the country has been the expectation that President Tinubu would use his vast political networks in every nook and corner of Nigeria to establish an all-inclusive government in which all sections of society would have a sense of belonging. What happened was the emergence of a clannish government with a strong ethnic marker. That was a key characteristic of the preceding Buhari administration and there was deep concern that the same problem had been replicated. Precisely because the key sentiment about the current administration is its lack of inclusiveness, there is no surprise that opposition to the government would blossom. The response of the government has been to apply slash and absorb tactics on opposition parties by actively encouraging factional crises within the parties and enticing key members to abandon ship and join the ruling party. This is not a sustainable tactic because there are limited positions within the ruling party and giving the new entrants many goodies would mean depriving those within the party; a crisis generating mechanism for the ruling party itself. As the saying goes, their turn will come.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>This was indeed the context that encouraged opposition parties to strategise on the establishment of a unified mega opposition platform to face the APC in the 2027 elections. We now know that the said platform is the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which was launched on Wednesday. In a swift move, the existing leadership of the ADC stepped down to enable the new entrants takeover control, an action that will no doubt be contested by surrogates of the APC. The new leadership includes former Senate President, David Mark, as National Chairperson, ex-Osun State governor and former Tinubu ally, Rauf Aregbesola, as National Secretary, and former Minister of Youth and Sports Bolaji Abdullahi as spokesperson. The coalition is mostly composed of members of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party, and some APC members. The opposition coalition includes prominent politicians such as Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Nasir El-Rufai, Bukola Saraki, Rotimi Amaechi, Abubakar Malami, amongst others. By making opposition parties ungovernable, the ruling party has created the need within them to opt out and seek unity in another platform. Let us not forget that the APC itself was born from a merger of opposition parties in 2013, culminating in its historic victory over the then-ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015.</p> 2027 Nasarawa gov’ship race: Will zoning tear APC apart? Court bars Nasarawa APC chair from acting amid anti-party allegations<p>One of the hopefuls for the presidential candidate of the coalition, Peter Obi has declared that the platform would offer Nigerians “a competent, capable, and compassionate” leadership: “Our commitment is to sacrifice and work together towards the 2027 General Elections, ensuring that Nigeria gets a competent, capable, and compassionate leadership that will prioritise the nation’s future by putting the welfare of Nigerians first.” This is easy to say. There are many others within the coalition with the same ambition and the success of the coalition would depend of their establishing a level playing ground for intra-party democracy to produce the best candidate. If they fail to do so, their success cannot be guaranteed.</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).

3197396	有图 <p>Barring any last-minute change, members of the opposition coalition have concluded plans to dump their various political parties and join their adopted platform, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Daily Trust gathered.</p><p>Following the coalition’s formal adoption of the ADC on Wednesday, prominent leaders such as former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi and former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), announced their exit from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the ADC. Their moves followed the earlier resignation of former Senate President David Mark from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before he emerged as interim national chairman of the ADC, alongside former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola, who was named interim national secretary.</p> <p>However, the delay by other coalition figures—such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar (PDP), Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi, and former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai (Social Democratic Party)—sparked speculation that they may remain in their legacy parties while working behind the scenes for the new platform.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>Observers cited the statement made by the ADC interim chairman to suggest that some coalition leaders might be adopting a gradual approach.</p> 2027 Nasarawa gov’ship race: Will zoning tear APC apart? INEC receives 12 additional applications for party registration<p>“As we proceed this day, we acknowledge the practical implications of imminent by-elections and one state governorship election for some of our coalition partners in their respective legacy political parties. However, all of us remain firmly united under the ADC banner for the 2027 general elections and beyond,” Mark had said in his acceptance speech on Wednesday.</p><p>Similarly, a statement issued Thursday by Peter Obi was viewed by some as a sign of hesitation, as it lacked any indication of a formal defection to the ADC.</p><p>Obi simply said, “Our commitment is to sacrifice and work together towards the 2027 General Elections, ensuring that Nigeria gets a competent, capable, and compassionate leadership that will prioritise the nation’s future by putting the welfare of Nigerians first.</p><p>“This decision was not made lightly. It comes from deep reflection on where we are as a country and what must be done to move forward.</p><p>“No one group can change Nigeria alone. To dismantle the structures that keep our people in poverty and insecurity, we must build bridges, not walls—even when those bridges are uneasy.”</p><p>His failure to mention resigning from the Labour Party and the subsequent 48-hour ultimatum issued by a factional leadership of the party further reinforced concerns that he, along with others, may be foot-dragging in decamping to the ADC.</p><p>But in an exclusive interview with Daily Trust yesterday, Alhaji Adamu Maina Waziri, former Minister of Police Affairs and one of the coalition’s leaders, disclosed that all members have agreed to quit their old parties for the ADC.</p><p>“Everyone in the coalition is leaving their respective parties. But we are doing so in accordance with the procedures laid out by our parties,” he said.</p><p>Waziri, who still technically remains a member of the PDP and its Board of Trustees, said his departure is only pending completion of the formal exit process.</p><p>“I have not defected yet—that’s the second leg. Well, technically, yes, as I speak to you now, I am still in the PDP. Why? Because the PDP has a process one must follow to formally exit the party,” he said.</p><p>The Yobe-born founding member of the PDP explained that the party requires members to submit a formal letter of resignation to their ward chairman.</p><p>“My ward is about five to seven hours away from here (Abuja). I’m going there tomorrow. But for all intents and purposes, I am no longer in the PDP,” he said.</p><p>Asked whether he would be exiting alongside his long-time associate, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Waziri replied, “Of course. Everybody in the coalition is exiting his party. But it will be according to the processes of our parties.</p><p>“Atiku is expected to go to Jada, Adamawa State, the way I will go to Yobe. I could easily sit here and write a letter and release it to the press that I have exited my party and address it to my ward chairman, saying I’ve left the party.</p><p>“But that’s not proper procedure. I’m expected to do what is right, in the best way possible.”</p><p>Ihedioha joins ADC as Abure-led LP gives Obi 48-hour ultimatum</p><p>In a related development, former Imo State governor Emeka Ihedioha has formally joined the ADC, informing his supporters and political structure of the move.</p><p>Addressing leaders of his grassroots-based Rebuild Imo Movement (RIM) at his residence on Thursday, the former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives declared, “My party, your party, and our party is now ADC. That is the way to go. That is the party for all of us.”</p><p>He urged RIM leaders to return to their respective chapters, wards, local government areas, and zones to begin mobilising for the ADC as a truly people-oriented party.</p><p>“I urge you, as leaders of our Rebuild Imo Movement (RIM), to go home to your respective chapters, wards, LGAs, and zones and take this gospel to the grassroots, to the people. We are people-oriented. Our strength is the people—the masses. We already have representation in all the booths in the 305 wards in the state, and our structure across the 27 LGAs and three geopolitical zones is strong, viable, and functional. Just go home and invigorate our RIM structure, which is highly effective and superb,” he said.</p><p>“I must thank all of you here, and those who are not here, for your steadfastness, support, and patience. I commend the DG (Director General) of our RIM structure for his administrative ingenuity. I appreciate all the state executive members of our structure—the zonal, LGA, and ward leaders. You all have been wonderful. I also use this opportunity to thank our state women leader, Lady Ijeoma Domike, in appreciating all our women. I equally acknowledge our youths for their diligence and dedication. Together, we shall triumph.”</p><p>Meanwhile, the Labour Party (LP) faction led by Julius Abure has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to resign his membership over his involvement in the opposition coalition’s adoption of the ADC.</p><p>The faction accused Obi of anti-party activities for associating with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-governors Nasir El-Rufai and Rotimi Amaechi, among others, during the unveiling of the ADC in Abuja as the platform for the new coalition aiming to unseat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).</p><p>Obi was also accused of holding clandestine meetings with party members to persuade them to defect.</p><p>“Peter Gregory Obi has received a 48-hour ultimatum to formally resign his membership of the Labour Party, having officially joined the coalition. The Labour Party is not part of this arrangement and disassociates itself from its agenda,” the faction’s spokesman, Obiora Ifoh, said in a statement.</p><p>However, the Labour Party faction led by Senator Nenadi Usman dismissed the ultimatum as baseless, describing the Abure-led group as political impostors without legal standing.</p><p>In a counterstatement issued by her aide, Ken Asogwa, Senator Usman reaffirmed the party’s endorsement of Obi’s coalition involvement.</p><p>“For the avoidance of doubt, the leadership of the Labour Party, on May 26, 2025, publicly declared its full support for Mr. Obi’s involvement in the coalition efforts aimed at creating a robust political alternative to rescue Nigeria from the disastrous misrule of the APC. That position has not changed,” the statement read.</p><p>The Usman-led faction further stated that Abure and his allies had been removed from office by the Supreme Court and suspended from the party over allegations of indiscipline and disloyalty.</p><p>“It is the remnants of the disorder and mess left behind by these impostors that the current leadership under Senator Nenadi Usman continues to clean up.</p><p>“Therefore, members of the public—and especially the media—are urged to disregard the distractions and mischief from these discredited elements,” the statement added.</p><p>Amaechi hints at 2027 presidential bid, to publish certificates, health records</p><p>Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has hinted at a possible presidential bid in 2027 on the platform of the ADC, stating he would publish his academic credentials and medical records to demonstrate his capacity to lead Nigeria.</p><p>Amaechi, 60, who spoke during an interview on Channels Television on Thursday, stopped short of declaring his ambition, citing an internal agreement within the newly formed political coalition.</p><p>“The answer would have been an outright yes,” he said. “But what did we agree on in the coalition? Everybody should keep aside his ambition. Let’s first get the platform; let’s build the platform before you come out with the idea of running for presidency.</p><p>“You won’t get a direct yes because that would be annoying the coalition.”</p><p>The former Rivers State governor said he would begin publishing personal documents in the coming weeks to assure Nigerians of his fitness and credibility.</p><p>He said leaders unfit to govern should not contest for office, stressing that he would release his health records to prove his readiness.</p><p>“I will publish my state of health to reassure Nigerians that if I’m made president, I will not go to hospitals—because I hardly go to hospitals. I just go for check-ups. If I’m in bad health, I won’t contest,” he added.</p><p>“I walk 23–24 kilometres a day, four times a week. Yesterday, we ran 16 kilometres and walked many more. My staff complains every day. My doctor begs me.”</p><p>Amaechi emphasised that the coalition’s ultimate goal is not merely to remove President Bola Tinubu or unseat the APC, but to form a people-centred government that would build a better Nigeria.</p><p>He said insecurity in the country is driven largely by poverty and hunger, arguing that feeding the poor would be a top priority for any serious administration.</p><p>“You can’t clear insecurity if the economy is down,” he said. “The greatest cause of insecurity is poverty; it’s hunger. So if we’re not able to provide food, then insecurity will continue.”</p><p>Asked if he would serve only one term if elected, Amaechi responded, “Of course. And Nigerians can trust that.</p><p>“If I would do more than four years, I would say I would do more than four years.”</p><p>He also revealed plans to retire from active politics by age 70, saying it would be time for the younger generation to take over.</p><p>APC tackles coalition leaders</p><p>For its part, the ruling APC on Thursday reacted to criticisms against the Tinubu administration by leaders of the new opposition coalition, describing their remarks as “stitches of untruths, diatribe, and regurgitated and baseless allegations.”</p><p>During his address at the coalition’s unveiling on Wednesday, ADC interim national chairman David Mark had slammed the Tinubu-led government for failing to tackle insecurity, hunger, poverty, corruption, and other pressing issues.</p><p>Responding in a statement, APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka said, “It was an unveiling of a coalition of hoaxers and self-obsessed merchants of vendetta.”</p><p>The statement continued: “From beginning to end, Senator Mark said nothing about the purpose of the so-called coalition other than a loud declaration of desperation for power. What value does the coalition bring to Nigerians?</p><p>“Why should any Nigerian be concerned about a coalition of egotistical maniacs for whom power and patronage are the oxygen on which their lives depend?</p><p>“One would have expected that, after months of vacillating between the devil and the deep blue sea in search of a host platform, Senator Mark and his co-travellers would take Nigerians seriously enough to tell them what their coalition would do differently from the administration’s bold economic and sectoral policy reforms.</p><p>“What key alternative policies would the coalition implement, and what prospects of success do they have compared to the high-value and transformative impact of the administration’s reforms?</p><p>“What exactly is the philosophical or ideological leaning of the coalition or its new party, aside from desperation for power at all costs—by all means necessary and unnecessary?</p><p>“Senator Mark’s speech was loud in its silence to these questions because he and his coalition partners are disgracefully clueless, without care or concern for Nigeria and Nigerians—only filled with a wolfish quest for power for their own mendacious ends.</p><p>“They must think Nigerians are gullible and uncritical. Quite to the contrary, Nigerians are highly perceptive and discerning and will not be taken in by the coalition’s grand folly.”</p><p>The APC listed several achievements of the Tinubu administration, declaring that while coalition leaders are “swimming in mud and throwing bricks,” President Tinubu and the APC remain focused on building “a stronger, enduring, and more prosperous nation for this and future generations.”</p><p>We are yet to take any position on coalition – PDP</p><p>Meanwhile, the PDP has denied reports that it has directed members to join the newly formed opposition coalition aimed at removing President Tinubu in 2027, saying it has not yet taken a position on the matter.</p><p>In a statement, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba said the party is currently focused on preparations for its upcoming national convention and consolidating internal unity.</p><p>“For the avoidance of doubt, the NWC states in clear terms that the PDP has not taken any official position on the issue of coalition,” he said.</p><p>“The PDP is for now focused on building and consolidating attained unity and stability and strengthening its structures and capacity to play its role as the leading opposition party determined to return to power in 2027.”</p><p>The party added that preparations are underway to ensure a successful national convention, which it said would further reposition the PDP for the electoral challenge ahead.</p><p>“Nevertheless, as a major opposition party with a strong presence and bond with Nigerians across the country, the PDP restates that it remains open to working with other well-meaning, like-minded citizens in the collective effort to rescue our nation from the stranglehold of the rudderless and insensitive All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration.</p><p>“Our party appreciates Nigerians for their interest, solidarity, and loyalty to the PDP brand and reassures them that all machineries are being put in place to reactivate the PDP’s winning ways ahead of the 2027 general elections.”</p><p>By Saawua Terzungwe, Baba Martins & Al-Mustapha A.

De luchtverkeersleiders leggen het werk neer uit protest tegen de hoge werkdruk en het tekort aan personeel.</p><p>Voor het Franse vliegverkeer zijn het de drukste dagen van het jaar. De komende dag begint officieel de zomervakantie. Volgens de Europese branchevereniging voor luchtvaartmaatschappijen Airlines for Europe worden 300.000 passagiers geraakt door de stakingen.</p><p>Meer dan een kwart van alle luchtverkeersleiders doet mee aan de actie. Om de veiligheid toch te kunnen garanderen zijn de afgelopen dag 933 vluchten geannuleerd, ongeveer 10 procent van het totale aantal. De komende dag wordt dat 40 procent.</p><p>Het zijn voornamelijk Europese vluchten van en naar Parijs, Marseille en Nice die worden geschrapt. Ook tientallen vluchten die Frankrijk niet als vertrekpunt of bestemming hebben maar wel door het Franse luchtruim gaan, zijn geannuleerd of moeten een omweg nemen.</p>Aanwezigheidscontroles<p>De luchtverkeersleiders willen betere arbeidsomstandigheden. De directe aanleiding voor de staking is een pakket nieuwe regels voor luchtverkeersleiders die de Franse luchtvaartautoriteit wil invoeren, zoals aanwezigheidscontroles. De autoriteit kwam daarmee na een bijna-ongeluk, waarbij een aantal luchtverkeersleiders niet op hun post zat.</p><p>Minister Tabarot van Transport schat dat de stakingen de luchtvaart miljoenen euro"s kosten.

3197393	无图 <p>Een meerderheid in de Tweede Kamer heeft ingestemd met twee wetten voor een strenger asielbeleid. De wetten zijn nog gemaakt door voormalig PVV-minister Faber en zijn bedoeld om in Nederland "het strengste asielbeleid ooit" in te voeren.</p><p>Er waren 95 Kamerleden voor de invoering van de wet over het tweestatusstelsel en 55 tegen. De asielnoodmaatregelenwet is aangenomen met 94 voorstemmers en 56 tegenstemmers, zo bleek kort voor middernacht bij de hoofdelijke stemmingen.</p><p>Hiermee is de eerste horde genomen, maar het blijft spannend of ook de Eerste Kamer voor zal stemmen. Dat zal pas na het zomerreces, of mogelijk later, bekend worden.</p><p>Gemeenten en verschillende maatschappelijke organisaties uitten na de stemming hun zorgen over de wetten. De Vereniging van Nederlandse Gemeenten wil de Eerste Kamer ervan overtuigen dat ze "onhaalbaar" en voor een deel "juridisch onhoudbaar" zijn.</p>Onderdak<p>De afgelopen dagen is er veel discussie geweest over de twee wetten, zeker toen dinsdag een extra aanscherping erin kwam om illegaliteit strafbaar te stellen. Dit zou ook betekenen dat mensen die personen zonder verblijfspapieren helpen met onderdak en voeding een straf kunnen krijgen.</p><p>Dit laatste was voor het CDA, NSC en SGP niet acceptabel. NSC en SGP waren vandaag veel in overleg omdat ze een schriftelijke toezegging wilden van minister Van Weel van Asiel. Vanavond rond 22.00 uur kwam hij met een brief waaruit duidelijk werd dat de strafbaarstelling van illegaliteit niet meteen ingaat. Het wordt als het ware een tijdje op pauzestand gezet.</p><p>Eerst gaat de Raad van State hiernaar kijken, zo schrijft asielminister Van Weel aan de Tweede Kamer. En na het advies wordt het nog in de Kamer besproken. Wat er gebeurt als de Raad van State kritisch is, is nu nog niet te zeggen.</p><p>Kijk hier hoe NSC en SGP hun bezwaren verwoordden:</p>"Zwart op wit"<p>Vanavond voerden de twee partijen de druk op om Van Weel "zwart op wit" te laten opschrijven dat humanitaire hulp niet strafbaar wordt. Dit is een onderdeel van de strafbaarstelling van de illegaliteit en staat dus in de asielwetten. Zij vinden dat mensen, bijvoorbeeld van de kerk, niet een straf kunnen krijgen omdat ze iemand een "kop koffie", "kop soep", "een bed" of een "stuk brood" geven. Dat vinden ze niet barmhartig en onacceptabel.</p><p>NSC stemde voor de wet vanwege de brief van Van Weel. Vanmiddag had hij nog een uitleg die voor veel verwarring zorgde omdat hij zei dat "de wet de wet was". Maar nu is Van Weel de kritische partijen tegemoet gekomen. "Ja, hier kunnen we heel goed mee uit de voeten", zei een opgeluchte NSC-fractievoorzitter Van Vroonhoven. De SGP stemde ook voor.</p><p>Het CDA blijft tegen en noemt het "onbegrijpelijk dat zoveel partijen voor stemmen". CDA-leider Bontenbal benadrukt dat het deze week "chaos" was en dat er op amateuristische wijze is omgegaan met wetgeving. "Het amendement over strafbaarstelling is en blijft voor ons onacceptabel."</p><p>Een voorstel van de PVV over de strafbaarstelling van de illegaliteit haalde dinsdag onverwacht een meerderheid. Het CDA trok woensdag de steun voor de strenge asielwetten in.</p>Correct<p>Maar het voorstel is inhoudelijk nooit in de Tweede Kamer besproken en bekeken op zijn consequenties. De Raad van State heeft ook niet bekeken of de wetten wel correct in elkaar zitten en dat gebeurt normaal wel.</p><p>Het is nog niet zeker of de wet ook een meerderheid in de Eerste Kamer krijgt, omdat het CDA tegen is en blijft. Daardoor moet steun gevonden worden bij drie kleine partijen.</p><p>Daarmee blijft een meerderheid voor de wetten in de Eerste Kamer onzeker. Na het reces spreekt de Eerste Kamer over de wetten.</p> Meerderheid Tweede Kamer stemt na chaotisch verloop toch in met strengere asielwetten	查看 3710	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-07-04 05:34:17 2025-07-04 17:00:19	word
3197392	无图 <p>Maatschappelijke organisaties en gemeenten reageren kritisch en bezorgd op de instemming van de Tweede Kamer met de strengere asielwetten. De Vereniging van Nederlandse Gemeenten laat weten "buitengewoon teleurgesteld" te zijn.</p><p>De VNG zegt te gaan proberen om de Eerste Kamer "te overtuigen van de onhaalbaarheid". De wetten zouden deels juridisch onhoudbaar zijn en "onwenselijke gevolgen hebben voor de uitvoering op lokaal niveau". Het ging in het bijzonder om het artikel uit de asielnoodmaatregelenwet dat de strafbaarstelling van illegaliteit regelt.</p>"Impact op kinderen ingrijpend"<p>VluchtelingenWerk Nederland maakt zich ernstig zorgen over de gevolgen voor mensen op de vlucht. De wetgeving biedt volgens de organisatie geen uitkomst voor problemen rond asiel en opvang van vluchtelingen, en zal er niet voor zorgen dat er minder mensen asiel aanvragen in Nederland.</p><p>"De asielwetten bieden geen concrete oplossingen voor maatschappelijke problemen zoals de woningnood, de lange wachttijden in de asielprocedure en de tekorten in de asielopvang", aldus VluchtelingenWerk Nederland, dat de toon in het politieke asieldebat "enorm zorgelijk" noemt. De organisatie doet een dringend beroep op de Eerste Kamer om de wetten te verwerpen.</p><p>Ook Unicef Nederland spreekt zijn zorgen uit. "De impact op kinderen is ingrijpend, maar nergens blijkt dat hun belang serieus is meegewogen."</p><p>Unicef wijst erop dat bijvoorbeeld pleegkinderen van vluchtelingen hun pleegouders niet meer mogen nareizen. "Stel: je bent een kind dat zijn ouders is verloren door oorlog. Je woont nu bij je tante, die voor je zorgt als pleegouder. Toch mag je door deze wet niet naar Nederland komen om bij haar te zijn. Je blijft achter, alleen, zonder veilige plek, zonder familie."</p><p>Ook hekelt de kinderrechtenorganisatie het tweestatusstelsel. Kinderen moeten daardoor mogelijk langer in opvanglocaties blijven omdat de procedures complexer worden.</p><p>"Dit is geen toekomstbestendig asielbeleid, de belangen en de rechten van kinderen zijn overgeslagen en volledig genegeerd in deze wetgeving", zegt directeur Suzanne Laszlo van Unicef Nederland.</p>"Niet meer uit te leggen"<p>De Vereniging Asieladvocaten & -Juristen Nederland (VAJN) zegt dat er "welbewust meer chaos wordt gecreëerd". De VAJN voorziet dat de asielprocedures gaan vastlopen. "En ook de rechtspraak en advocatuur krijgen nog meer werk, terwijl de wetten in de praktijk niets oplossen", zegt een woordvoerder tegen persbureau ANP. Volgens haar is het beleid aan de toch al kwetsbare mensen, maar ook aan de gewone Nederlander, "niet meer uit te leggen".</p> Gemeenten en maatschappelijke organisaties bezorgd en kritisch over asielwetten	查看 2641	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-07-04 07:19:31 2025-07-04 17:00:19	word
3197391	无图 <p>De Amerikaanse president Trump ziet na een gesprek met de Russische president Poetin geen enkele beweging om de oorlog in Oekraïne te stoppen. "Ik ben geen stap verder gekomen met hem", zei hij. "Hij is niet van plan om hiermee te stoppen."</p><p>De twee spraken elkaar een uur telefonisch, voor de zesde keer sinds Trump aantrad in januari. Over het gebrek aan vooruitgang zei Trump: "Ik ben daar niet blij mee en ben zeer teleurgesteld."</p>Aanvallen op Kyiv<p>Rond de tijd van het telefoongesprek voerde Rusland weer een aanval uit op Oekraïne. Russische drones bestookten doelen in Kyiv. In de hoofdstad waren op verschillende plekken explosies en branden. Na de drone-aanval zouden ook raketten zijn afgevuurd op Kyiv. Er zouden 23 gewonden zijn.</p><p>Zelfs in schuilkelders voelden inwoners zich onveilig onder de regen van explosies:</p><p>Volgens Oekraïne werd het land onder meer bestookt met 539 drones en elf ballistische raketten. Een ruime meerderheid daarvan zou door de luchtafweer uit de lucht zijn geschoten.</p><p>Trump zegt dat hij vandaag met de Oekraïense president Zelensky spreekt over de oorlog. Gisteren zei Zelensky al te hopen op een gesprek met de Amerikaanse president.</p><p>Deze week werd duidelijk dat de VS enkele wapenleveranties aan Oekraïne opschort. Volgens Trump is dat besloten omdat de eigen wapenvoorraden te veel zijn geslonken. Hij haalde uit naar zijn voorganger Biden. Die zou veel te veel hebben weggegeven.</p><p>Trump zei tegelijkertijd dat de VS Oekraïne niet de rug toekeert. "We werken met ze samen en proberen hen te helpen."</p>Oorlogsdoelen<p>Topadviseur van het Kremlin Joeri Oesjakov zei dat Poetin Trump in het telefoongesprek heeft verteld dat Rusland zijn oorlogsdoelen blijft nastreven om de "onderliggende oorzaken" van het conflict op te lossen. De oplossing die het Kremlin voor ogen heeft, komt in feite neer op een volledige overgave van Oekraïne.</p><p>Moskou wil dat Oekraïne al het gebied dat Rusland illegaal heeft geannexeerd opgeeft, een neutrale status krijgt, geen lid wordt van de NAVO of andere militaire bondgenootschappen en ontwapent.</p> Washington teleurgesteld na gesprek met Poetin over Oekraïne: 'Hij wil niet stoppen'	查看 2120	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-07-04 08:31:22 2025-07-04 17:00:19	word
3197390	无图 <p>Na een marathonspeech van de Democratische oppositieleider Hakeem Jeffries, sceptische Republikeinen die lang dreigden tegen te stemmen en lange nachten van onderhandelingen heeft Donald Trump eindelijk wat hij noemt zijn Big Beautiful Bill. Met deze wet, die hij vandaag, op de nationale feestdag, tijdens een speciale ceremonie ondertekent, kan hij zijn America First-agenda verder uitvoeren en de rol van de federale overheid opnieuw vormgeven.</p><p>Niet alleen de naam is Trumpiaans, dit omvangrijke pakket van 887 pagina"s zit boordevol prioriteiten van de president: van de financiering om illegale migranten massaal het land uit te zetten tot het terugdraaien van subsidies voor de groene energiesector, van belastingverlagingen waar vooral rijkere Amerikanen van profiteren tot extra geld voor het leger om zijn luchtverdedigingssyteem Golden Dome realiteit te maken. </p><p>Die grote uitgaven gaan gepaard met de grootste bezuinigingsoperatie op de sociale zekerheid in jaren. Het mantra waar de Republikeinen de laatste dagen mee de boer op gingen was promises made, promises kept. Daarmee bedoelen ze dat Trump met deze wet zijn verkiezingsbeloften nakomt, maar een belangrijke verkiezingsbelofte breekt hij wel degelijk. Hij zou niet snijden in de zorgverzekering Medicaid, waarmee miljoenen Amerikanen met de laagste inkomens toch gezondheidszorg krijgen. Dat gebeurt nu toch.</p><p>Volgens de ramingen van het onafhankelijke Congressional Budget Office (CBO), dat beleidsplannen doorrekent, dreigen door deze wet en andere bezuinigingen ongeveer 17 miljoen Amerikanen door het toch al rafelige zorgnet te vallen. Verdere bezuinigingen komen vooral te liggen bij de aanpak van klimaatverandering en bij voedselhulp voor de armen. Ook moeten studenten meer betalen voor hun leningen en wordt het lastiger gemaakt om die kwijt te schelden.</p>Politieke lenigheid<p>Zelfs met al die rigoureuze bezuinigingen, hebben de Republikeinen een probleem met Amerika"s creditcard. Er gaat simpel gezegd meer geld uit dan dat er binnenkomt. Daarom is het schuldenplafond verhoogd naar 5 biljoen dollar, normaal gesproken een doodzonde voor de doorgaans fiscaal-conservatieve Republikeinen. Een andere politieke nonstarter was het verhogen van de staatsschuld. Ook daar nemen de Republikeinen een ongekend risico, door de bestaande torenhoge schuld nog eens te verhogen met 3,3 biljoen dollar binnen 10 jaar.</p><p>Het maakt nogmaals duidelijk dat in de MAGA-partij van Trump conservatieve dogma"s optioneel zijn geworden. Trump vereist loyaliteit boven ideologie, dus is politieke lenigheid een overlevingsstrategie voor partijgenoten die liever kiezen voor de toorn van de kiezer dan de toorn van de president.</p><p>Vroeg of laat zal de Amerikaanse kiezer, die eerder in peilingen aangaf geen groot fan te zijn van de wet, z"n oordeel vellen. Veel Amerikanen hebben een probleem met de bezuinigingen en de hogere staatsschuld.</p>Tussentijdse verkiezingen<p>Zowel de Republikeinen als de Democraten staan te trappelen om te bepalen waarover wordt gepraat, zeker in de aanloop naar de tussentijdse Congresverkiezingen volgend jaar. Staat Amerika echt "aan de vooravond van het Gouden Tijdperk", zoals Steve Scalise, een van de Republikeinse leiders in het Huis van Afgevaardigden beweert? Of is de vloer van het Congres inderdaad een "plaats delict", zoals Hakeem Jeffries, de leider van de Democraten betoogt.</p><p>De Democraten, die sinds hun pak slaag in november nog steeds de politieke weg kwijt zijn, zien in deze wet een mogelijkheid om wat terug te doen. Ze denken dat de wet door kiezers zo gehaat wordt dat ze zeker één en misschien wel beide kamers van het Congres kunnen terugveroveren op de Republikeinen.</p><p>President Trump gelooft daar uiteraard helemaal niets van. Volgens gaat deze wet leiden tot een ongekende economische groei, waarvan alle Amerikanen zullen profiteren. De 47e president kreeg precies wat hij van zijn partij heeft gevraagd, tot op de dag nauwkeurig: één grote mooie wet die hij op de Amerikaanse Onafhankelijkheidsdag mag ondertekenen.</p><p>Zelfs zijn tegenstanders moeten toegeven dat dit een masterclass was in zijn Art of the Deal. De wet is zo omvangrijk dat we de gevolgen nog niet helemaal kunnen overzien, maar zeker is dat Trump zijn politieke erfenis hiermee definitief heeft veiliggesteld.</p> Trump stelt politieke erfenis veilig met megawet	查看 4350	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-07-04 11:00:01 2025-07-04 17:00:19	word
3197389	无图 <p>Bij gerichte aanvallen met explosieve drones zijn de afgelopen maanden in Haïti zeker 300 mensen om het leven gekomen. De drones worden ingezet door huurlingen die zijn gecontracteerd door de staat.</p><p>Volgens de Haïtiaanse autoriteiten zijn al deze slachtoffers bendeleden, maar de inzet van de vliegende explosieven roept bij zowel bondgenoten als critici vragen op over de strategieën van de interim-regering om de enorme macht van de Haïtiaanse straatbendes te beteugelen.</p><p>Op sociale media circuleren verschillende, veelal ongeverifieerde video"s van aanvallen met zulke drones. Groepjes gewapende mannen rennen door smalle steegjes als ze worden opgeblazen door een ontploffende drone. De aanvallen zijn effectief en relatief goedkoop, zegt een wapenexpert tegen The Guardian: het zou gaan om zogeheten FPV-drones die voor zo"n tweehonderd dollar per stuk in Chinese webwinkels gekocht kunnen worden.</p>Sinaloa<p>De inzet van drones door straatbendes onderling is niet nieuw in Latijns-Amerika. In het almaar voortdurende conflict tussen facties van het Mexicaanse Sinaloakartel worden drones gebruikt, en in Brazilië zouden gevangenisbendes granaten aan de drones hangen die ze elders kunnen laten vallen. De inzet van de laagdrempelige wapentechnologie in Haïti toont echter een nieuwe stap in de glijdende schaal waar het land zich al jaren in bevindt.</p><p>Canada heeft via diens nationale politie zijn zorgen uitgesproken over de inzet van de drones in Haïti. De Canadese politie leverde drones aan het land met het idee ze te laten gebruiken bij surveillance en patrouilles. "De drone-aanvallen die zij hebben uitgevoerd, zijn in strijd met het nationale strafrecht van Haïti en het internationale recht inzake de mensenrechten", zegt een woordvoerder van deze politie tegen The New York Times.</p><p>Meerdere internationale mensenrechtenorganisaties zetten hun vraagtekens bij de inzet van de drones, onder meer vanwege het gebrek aan transparantie van autoriteiten over de slachtoffers. Wie controleert immers of al die ruim 300 slachtoffers daadwerkelijk criminelen waren, of dat er burgerslachtoffers bij zaten? Hoe worden doelwitten gekozen? En kan de inzet juridisch gezien wel genoeg onderbouwd worden?</p>Blackwater<p>Een extra heikel punt is dat de drones, die onder meer door buitenlandse partners zijn geleverd, worden bestuurd door huurlingen, wier vervolging in het geval van mensenrechtenschendingen moeilijk is. Eerder dit jaar meldde The New York Times dat de Haïtiaanse regering in zee is gegaan met Erik Prince, de beruchte oprichter van Blackwater, een private militaire onderneming die in verband wordt gebracht met mensenrechtenschendingen in Irak en Afghanistan.</p><p>Zij zouden een "geheime taskforce bemannen" vanuit het kantoor van de Haïtiaanse interim-premier Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, waarmee bendeleiders onder meer met drones aangevallen worden. Ook zou er gewerkt worden aan het samenbrengen van 150 huurlingen, bij voorkeur Amerikaans-Haïtiaanse veteranen, om in Haïti de wapens op te nemen tegen de straatbendes.</p><p>Aan de spiraal van geweld in Haïti kunnen nu dus drone-aanvallen en huurlingen toegevoegd worden. De vraag is wat de reacties van de machtige bendes zal zijn: in juni werden drie leden van de Viv Ansanm, een machtige bendecoalitie, gearresteerd in de Dominicaanse Republiek toen ze zelf probeerden drones te kopen, zo schreef de Haïtiaanse krant Le Nouvelliste. En hoewel de drones nu al enkele maanden ingezet worden, met dus honderden doden als gevolg, lijkt het territorium dat in handen is van de bendes alleen maar toe te nemen. Volgens de laatste cijfers van de Verenigde Naties gaat het inmiddels om 90 procent van de hoofdstad Port-au-Prince.</p>Moorden, ontvoeringen en verkrachtingen<p>Het inmiddels al jaren durende conflict in Haïti, dat losbarstte na de moord op president Jovenel Moïse in 2021, heeft voor 1,3 miljoen ontheemden gezorgd. Ziekenhuizen, scholen, bedrijven: al jaren zijn ze gesloten. Een door de VS opgezette politiemissie, aangestuurd door Keniaanse politieagenten, maakte weinig indruk op de bendes, mede omdat deze politiemissie zelf kampte met een tekort aan geld en materieel. De bendes blijven intussen geld verdienen met de smokkel van wapens, drugs, mensen en brandstof.</p><p>De lijst met mensenrechtenschendingen is lang. Moorden, ontvoeringen, verkrachtingen. Een enorm tekort aan voedsel voor zeker de helft van de 12 miljoen inwoners. En ruim 4000 geregistreerde moorden in de eerste zes maanden van dit jaar: een stijging van 24 procent ten opzichte van 2024. Het geweld, dat al zo lang duurt en van Haïti een van de meest schrijnende humanitaire crises ter wereld heeft gemaakt, kan allang niet meer beteugeld worden door de autoriteiten zelf. Het is de vraag of huurlingen bewapend met drones dat wel kunnen.</p> Haïtiaanse overheid zet gewapende drones in tegen bendes, honderden doden	查看 4832	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-07-04 12:01:01 2025-07-04 17:00:19	word
3197388	无图 <p>De aandelenbeurzen hebben een turbulent halfjaar achter de rug. Vooral toen de Amerikaanse president Trump hoge importheffingen aankondigde op 2 april, kelderden de waarden van Nederlandse beleggingsportefeuilles. </p><p>In klantendata van drie grote beleggingsplatforms vallen interessante dingen op. Zo waren op het platform Bux jonge mannen de grootste verliezers. Zij zagen tussen januari en juni 6,3 procent van hun investeringen verdampen.</p><p>Yorick Naeff, ceo van Bux, heeft wel een idee waaraan dit ligt. "Vrouwen zijn in het algemeen beter dan mannen in het investeren op de langere termijn", zegt hij. "Bovendien beleggen vrouwen vaker in aandelenfondsen en mannen in losse aandelen." Die laatste groep, en dan met name tech-aandelen, werd hard geraakt tijdens de achtbaanrit die de beurs dit voorjaar maakte.</p><p>Vrouwen die beleggen op Bux raakten gemiddeld 4,3 procent van hun beleggingswaarde kwijt. Gekeken naar alle leeftijden komt het verlies onder mannen gemiddeld uit op 4,5 procent. Voor particulieren die beleggen via DeGiro was de waardeontwikkeling voor vrouwen en mannen ongeveer hetzelfde tijdens de pieken en dalen dit voorjaar.</p><p>Beleggers maken pas een echte winst of verlies als zij hun aandelen verkopen. Wat daar precies is gebeurd onder Nederlandse beleggers willen de platforms niet kwijt. Je zag wel dat sommige groepen meer gingen kopen en verkopen dit voorjaar. Onder de bijna een miljoen beleggers van DeGiro waren vooral mannen vaker aan het handelen. Dat is in lijn met bestaand gedragsonderzoek (bijvoorbeeld deze studie): mannen zijn gemiddeld bedrijviger op de beurs dan vrouwen.</p><p>Alle experts zijn het eigenlijk al eens: veel handelen is onverstandig, helemaal wanneer de beurs schommelt. Warren Buffett, misschien wel de succesvolste investeerder van onze tijd, vatte het zo samen: laat de bewegingen op de beurs geen instructie zijn voor welke aandelen je (ver)koopt, want de beurs heeft daar helemaal geen verstand van.</p><p>Hans Oudshoorn is beleggerstrainer voor particuliere investeerders bij Saxo. Hij zegt dat hij de afgelopen maanden werd overspoeld met berichten van jonge mannen die zich afvroegen of ze alle aandelen moesten verkopen. Dat soort vragen kreeg hij helemaal niet van vrouwen, zegt hij.</p><p>"Dan vraag ik die mannen altijd: "Maar wat is je beleggingshorizon?" Velen blijken dan een planning te hebben gemaakt voor vijftien jaar. Vaak hadden ze nog veertien jaar te gaan. De schommelingen horen erbij."</p>Emotionele mannen<p>Dat vrouwen zich op de beurs minder door emotie laten leiden, blijkt ook uit eerdere onderzoeken. En dat gedrag leidt ook tot betere rendementen. Volgens data van Fidelity Investment gaat het om 0,4 procent hoger rendement per jaar en volgens een studie van Warwick Business School om 0,6 procent.</p><p>Uit de onderzoeken komt naar voren dat vrouwen beter vasthouden aan hun beleggingsstrategie en minder last hebben van zelfoverschatting. Ook plaatsen ze minder orders (traden kost geld en drukt het rendement).</p><p>Volgens Hans Oudshoorn van Saxo komt dit door het mannelijke ego. "Het is net een kat die in de spiegel kijkt en daar een tijger ziet. Vooral jonge mannen denken dat het ze gaat lukken om de index te verslaan, wat statistisch gezien natuurlijk onwaarschijnlijk is. Ze willen zo graag winnen en dan vergeten ze wat daadwerkelijk werkt om een goed rendement te halen."</p><p>Je hoort weleens dat vrouwen bang zouden zijn om risico"s te nemen op de beurs. "Dat is een misvatting", zegt Lieke van der Veen-Danenberg, investeerder en mede-eigenaar van financieel educatieplatform Elfin. Vrouwen zijn volgens haar vooral risicobewuster. "Ze lezen zich beter in een bedrijf in voordat ze gaan investeren. Dat zorgt ervoor dat ze beter geïnformeerde beleggingsbesluiten nemen. Op de lange termijn halen ze dan ook een hoger rendement."</p> 'Jonge mannen waren grootste verliezers op turbulente lentebeurs'	查看 3863	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-07-04 12:22:09 2025-07-04 17:00:19	word
3197387	无图 <p>Bij een op de zes matrixborden boven snelwegen duurt het langer dan een maand voordat ze gerepareerd worden na een storing. Dat blijkt uit onderzoek van Omroep Gelderland.</p><p>Op de matrixborden staan bijvoorbeeld snelheidsbeperkingen of rode kruizen om weggebruikers te wijzen op een afgesloten rijstrook. Dat gebeurt om anderen te beschermen, bijvoorbeeld hulpdiensten die ter plaatse komen bij een ongeluk of mensen die werken aan de weg. Een defect aan een bord kan dus leiden tot gevaarlijke situaties.</p><p>In Nederland zijn in totaal zo"n 18.500 matrixborden. Vorig jaar waren er in totaal 1160 storingen van langer dan dertig dagen waarbij het matrixbord geen rood kruis kon laten zien. De langste periode dat een bord defect was, was vijf jaar.</p>Melding<p>Meerdere medewerkers van Rijkswaterstaat maakten melding van gevaarlijke situaties door kapotte matrixborden, achterhaalde Omroep Gelderland na een verzoek op basis van de Wet open overheid (Woo). Rijkswaterstaat zelf hamert met de campagne nietvoorniX er juist op dat weggebruikers zich aan de voorschriften houden.</p><p>Een weginspecteur beschrijft een ervaring op de tweebaanssnelweg A22, bij Beverwijk. Omdat de weg bochtig is, verzocht de medewerker de wegverkeersleiding een rood kruis te zetten boven de rechterrijstrook. Zo zou het verkeer niet rakelings langs de mensen heen rijden.</p><p>Maar dat ging niet, want de matrixborden waren kapot. "Ik kon alleen 600 meter voor het incident een kruis laten zetten, maar op de plek waar het incident praktisch plaatsvond, werd niets getoond", staat in de melding. Het gevolg: weggebruikers gingen alweer terug naar de rechterrijstrook.

Het is te wijten aan een tekort aan geschikt personeel, en ook het materiaal is schaars. Daarom maakt Rijkswaterstaat bij een defect altijd de afweging of het kan worden gerepareerd tijdens groot onderhoud, zodat de weg tussentijds niet onnodig dicht hoeft.</p><p>"Elk matrixbord dat geen rood kruis kan laten zien, is er een te veel", zegt Rijkswaterstaat.

3197385	无图 <p>Rusland heeft als eerste land ter wereld de Taliban-regering in Afghanistan erkend. De Afghaanse minister van Buitenlandse Zaken, Amir Khan Muttaqi, noemde dat een "moedige beslissing".</p><p>Hij ontmoette gisteren in Kabul de Russische ambassadeur in Afghanistan die daar het besluit van zijn regering officieel overbracht. Volgens de Afghaanse minister is er "een nieuwe fase van positieve relaties, wederzijds respect en constructieve betrokkenheid" ingegaan en zal de verschuiving dienen als voorbeeld voor andere landen.</p><p>Tegelijk is er ook een Afghaanse ambassadeur in Moskou aan het werk gegaan.</p>Strijd tegen terreur en drugs<p>De Taliban zijn sinds 2021 weer aan de macht in Afghanistan en streven sinds die tijd naar internationale erkenning met bijbehorende investeringen, maar dat is nog niet erg gelukt. Ze krijgen juist internationale kritiek, vooral vanwege de massale inperking van vrouwenrechten en andere mensenrechtenschendingen. Het regime wordt als grotendeels geïsoleerd beschouwd, hoewel buurlanden zich pragmatischer opstellen tegenover de islamisten.</p><p>Rusland gaat nu wel banden aan met het regime en is onder meer van plan Kabul te ondersteunen in de strijd tegen terrorisme en drugshandel. "Wij geloven dat de officiële erkenning van de regering van het Islamitisch Emiraat van Afghanistan een impuls zal geven aan de ontwikkeling van een productieve samenwerking", meldt het Russische ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken.</p><p>Volgens de Afghanen zal de officiële erkenning "een productieve bilaterale samenwerking tussen onze landen" bevorderen.</p><p>Rusland en Afghanistan hebben een lange gezamenlijke geschiedenis, onder meer de Sovjet-Unie drukte zijn stempel op het Centraal-Aziatische land. Zo was er de Afghaanse Oorlog: Sovjet-troepen vielen het land eind 1979 binnen om de communistische regering te steunen tegen de opstand van de islamitische Moedjahedien, die werd gesteund door de Amerikaanse CIA. Hoewel er miljoenen slachtoffers vielen, faalden de Sovjets erin het land onder controle te krijgen.</p><p>In 1996 kwamen de Taliban voor het eerst aan de macht, maar na de aanslagen in de VS van 11 september 2001 besloot de VS tot een oorlog tegen de islamisten. De NAVO-troepenmacht ISAF hielp bij het democratiseringsproces. Ook Nederland leverde militairen daarvoor.</p><p>In 2021 heroverde de Taliban grote delen van het land. Toen ook Kabul werd ingenomen, trokken de Amerikanen en de NAVO-troepen zich in augustus 2021 halsoverkop terug en kwamen de Taliban weer aan de macht.</p><p>Hun strikte interpretatie van de islamitische wet stond internationale erkenning tot nu toe in de weg, maar het regime voerde met veel landen wel gesprekken en er zijn diplomatieke banden aangeknoopt met onder meer China en de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten. Desondanks blijft Afghanistan op het wereldtoneel relatief geïsoleerd.</p> Rusland eerste land dat Taliban-regering in Afghanistan erkent	查看 2876	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-07-04 13:03:58 2025-07-04 17:00:19	word
