But we won’t because we’re addicted to foreign help. That is not how we will move forward,” he said.</p><p>He blamed this failure on a fundamental lack of economic literacy among African leaders, arguing that many do not grasp the workings of the global economy and are therefore ill-equipped to position their countries competitively.</p><p>“How much of the world do our leaders even understand, If we understand it, we will get things right not just nationally, but at the community, subregional, and continental levels,” he further said.</p><p> <small>Sponsored</small><p>Thousands of companies are sacking their workers due to AI (artificial intelligence), no industry is spared, business owners are in panic mode due to its rapid change.

3192068	有图 <p>By Sylvester Ojenagbon</p><p>A substantial portion of the global population is reported to experience loneliness, and a subset of that experiences it chronically. Sadly, loneliness is particularly rampant among young adults aged 19-29, with rates going up to as high as 27% in some surveys. About one in four adults experiences loneliness, and around one in five older adults are affected by chronic loneliness, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). Research shows that more women struggle with chronic loneliness than men.</p> <p>Loneliness is reportedly a significant issue in Nigeria, particularly among older adults. Studies indicate that a substantial percentage of older Nigerians report feeling lonely or socially isolated.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>Now, loneliness is a subjective feeling of being alone, separate, or apart from others, not just being physically isolated. It is often described as a painful or distressing feeling. You can be in a room full of people and still feel isolated if you lack close connections or relationships.</p><p>Unlike transient or situational loneliness, chronic loneliness persists over a prolonged period, which can be weeks, months, or even years, and is often caused by several factors. Starting a new job or school, moving to a new area, becoming a parent, or retiring can all disrupt existing social networks, leading to feelings of loneliness. Also, going through a divorce or breakup, losing a loved one, or experiencing a separation can all lead to social isolation and loneliness.</p><p>Experiencing long-term illness or disability, living alone, or having a job that requires constantly working alone can all contribute to loneliness. Having weak or broken ties with family or friends or living in an area where one lacks a strong community network can also lead to loneliness.</p><p>Social anxiety can make it difficult to initiate or maintain social interactions, and this can equally lead to isolation and loneliness. People with low self-esteem may believe they are unworthy of connection or friendship, and this often leads them to withdraw from social situations. Again, introverted people may be less likely to seek social connections; this makes them more susceptible to loneliness. Experiences like sexual or physical abuse can likewise make it difficult to form close relationships, thus contributing to loneliness.</p><p>As people age, they may experience changes in social roles and reduced mobility. These can increase the risk of loneliness. Furthermore, excessive use of technology, especially smartphones and social media, can lead to social isolation and reduced face-to-face interaction, thus contributing to feelings of loneliness.</p><p>The truth is that the impact of loneliness varies significantly based on individual factors such as personality, existing mental and physical health, and social support systems. Some people may be more resilient to loneliness than others, while some may experience its effects more severely. However, the evidence consistently points to a significant impact of chronic loneliness on both mental and physical health.</p><p>Studies have shown a link between loneliness and higher rates of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke. Loneliness can equally suppress the immune system, thus making people more susceptible to illness. Social isolation and loneliness have likewise been linked to an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.</p><p>Chronic loneliness can also disrupt sleep patterns, leading to insomnia or poor sleep quality. It can similarly contribute to cognitive decline and increase the risk of dementia. It has equally been found to really up the chances of depression and anxiety disorders.</p><p>The stress hormone cortisol is often elevated in lonely people, and, in severe cases, loneliness can contribute to suicidal ideation and self-harm. It is therefore no wonder that studies suggest that loneliness is associated with an increased risk of premature death. In general, loneliness can reduce the overall quality of life, affecting work, social interactions, and leisure activities.</p><p>To address the problem of chronic loneliness, you need to be deliberate about building social connections, engaging in meaningful activities, and prioritising self-care. You can join local groups based on your hobbies or interests to meet people with shared passions. You can also seek opportunities to engage in community service, as this provides an avenue to connect with others while contributing to something meaningful.</p><p>You can equally make an effort to connect with family and friends, even if it is through simple means like phone calls or video chats, and initiate conversations with people you encounter or come in contact with as you go about your daily life.</p><p>It is also advisable to pursue activities you enjoy, whether it is sports, art, music, or anything else that brings you joy. Then learn a new skill, take a class, or try something you have always been curious about to expand your horizons and potentially meet new people.</p><p>Going for walks, hikes, or simply spending time outdoors can likewise improve your mood and reduce feelings of isolation. And practice mindfulness and meditation, as these can help you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings and manage negative emotions that can contribute to loneliness. Then try your best to replace negative thoughts with positive affirmations and focus on your strengths and positive qualities.</p><p>Also ensure you are exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and eating nutritious food, as these can positively impact your mood and energy levels. You equally need to be kind to yourself, especially during difficult times.</p><p>If loneliness, however, continues to significantly affect your life, consider talking to a therapist or counsellor, as they can provide the support and guidance you need in building healthy relationships and dealing with feelings of loneliness.</p><p>Always remember that building relationships and managing feelings of loneliness take time and effort. So, do not be frustrated or upset if you do not see immediate results as you try to fix your loneliness. Continue to make necessary adjustments and celebrate even little victories. With time, you will overcome the issues that fuel your loneliness and start living your best life.</p><p>Ojenagbon, a health communication expert and certified management trainer and consultant, lives in Lagos.</p><p> <small>Sponsored</small><p>Thousands of companies are sacking their workers due to AI (artificial intelligence), no industry is spared, business owners are in panic mode due to its rapid change.

Legally, a wrongful death occurs when a person dies because of another party’s careless, reckless, or intentional actions. This type of claim allows you to seek justice and financial compensation for losses caused by the untimely death.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>Navigating lawsuit procedures can feel overwhelming, but they’re designed to help you hold responsible parties accountable. You’ll need to file a formal complaint in civil court, present evidence, and follow specific timelines.</p>Who Is Eligible to File a Wrongful Death Claim<p>Although losing someone unexpectedly is always devastating, not everyone has the legal right to pursue a wrongful death claim. To be considered an eligible plaintiff, you usually must have a close relationship with the deceased—such as a spouse, child, or parent.</p><p>In some states, extended family members or dependents may also meet the filing requirements, but laws vary greatly by jurisdiction. It’s important to know that, in many cases, the right to file rests with the personal representative of the deceased’s estate, acting on behalf of surviving family members.</p><p>Before moving forward, you’ll need to review your state’s specific rules about eligible plaintiffs and the timelines for filing. Consulting an attorney can clarify your eligibility and help guarantee you meet all legal requirements.</p>Common Causes of Wrongful Death Cases<p>Understanding who can file a wrongful death claim is just one part of the process—it’s also important to recognize the situations that may give rise to these cases.</p><p>Wrongful death claims often stem from car accidents, where negligent or reckless driving leads to tragic losses. Medical malpractice is another frequent cause; doctors or healthcare providers may make errors that result in fatal outcomes.</p><p>Workplace accidents, especially in hazardous industries, can also result in wrongful death actions when employers fail to maintain safe conditions. Product liability cases arise when defective products cause fatal injuries, holding manufacturers accountable.</p><p>Ultimately, criminal acts—such as assault or homicide—can lead to civil wrongful death lawsuits in addition to any criminal charges. Understanding these causes helps you better navigate your legal options and seek legal help after losing a loved one.</p>Types of Damages Recoverable in Wrongful Death Suits<p>Financial recovery plays an essential role in wrongful death lawsuits, offering families a way to address the tangible and intangible losses caused by a loved one’s untimely passing.</p><p>When you pursue a wrongful death suit, you’ll encounter several damages categories that determine what compensation you might receive. These typically include damages for pain and suffering, loss of companionship, emotional distress, funeral and burial expenses, and medical costs related to the final injury or illness.</p><p>Each state sets its own compensation limits, which can impact the total amount awarded to your family. Understanding these damages categories helps you know what’s recoverable and how courts evaluate your claim.</p><p>Consulting an experienced attorney guarantees you’re fully aware of both your rights and the possible compensation limits in your case.</p>Economic Losses: Lost Income and Benefits<p>When a loved one dies due to someone else’s negligence, the loss extends far beyond emotional pain—families suddenly face the reality of missing income and benefits that person would have provided.</p><p>You may worry about your family’s financial stability as you adjust to life without their financial support. In a wrongful death lawsuit, you can seek compensation for economic losses, which includes the deceased’s lost income, wages, and potential future earnings.</p><p>This calculation takes into account the person’s age, occupation, earning history, and expected career trajectory. Additionally, it covers lost benefits such as health insurance, retirement contributions, and other employment perks.</p>Non-Economic Damages: Pain, Suffering, and Loss of Companionship<p>While no amount of money can truly make up for the loss of a loved one, wrongful death lawsuits recognize the profound emotional suffering families endure.</p><p>Non-economic damages address the intangible consequences you face, such as pain, suffering, and the deep loss of companionship. These damages compensate for the emotional distress that often follows a tragic loss, helping you cope with the absence of your loved one’s guidance, support, and affection.</p><p>You may experience the loss of affection, comfort, and the unique personal bond you shared. Courts understand that these losses go far beyond financial hardships, so they allow you to seek compensation that acknowledges your grief and emotional pain.</p><p>It’s an essential part of honoring the relationship you’ve lost.</p>The Role of Punitive Damages in Wrongful Death Cases<p>Beyond compensating for emotional suffering, some wrongful death cases allow for punitive damages—a distinct category of compensation meant to punish especially reckless or egregious behavior.</p><p>If someone’s actions were more than just negligent and showed a blatant disregard for safety, you might be eligible for these additional damages.</p><p>Punitive damages don’t aim to reimburse you for your loss; instead, they’re designed to hold the responsible party accountable and discourage similar misconduct in the future.</p><p>Courts award punitive damages to send a clear message: society won’t tolerate grossly irresponsible or malicious acts.</p>Factors That Influence Compensation Amounts<p>Several key factors determine the amount of financial compensation in a wrongful death lawsuit, and understanding these can help you set realistic expectations.</p><p>The compensation calculation typically considers the deceased’s age, earning capacity, and expected future income. You’ll also find that medical expenses, funeral costs, and the financial dependency of surviving family members are significant influencing factors.</p><p>Non-economic losses, such as loss of companionship and emotional suffering, play a role as well. Courts may review the circumstances of the wrongful act and the degree of negligence involved.</p><p>Every case is unique, so the specific details of your family’s situation will directly affect the outcome. By recognizing these influencing factors, you can better understand how compensation calculation works and what may impact your claim’s value.</p>The Legal Process for Pursuing a Wrongful Death Claim<p>Understanding what affects compensation amounts is just one part of preparing for a wrongful death claim. You’ll also need to navigate specific legal procedures to move your case forward.</p><p>The process typically starts with determining who’s the legal right to file the claim—often a close family member or estate representative. Next, you must gather evidence, document damages, and file the lawsuit in the appropriate court.</p><p>Be mindful of filing deadlines, also known as statutes of limitations, which set strict time limits for starting legal action. Missing these deadlines can bar you from recovering compensation altogether.</p><p>Each step requires careful attention to detail, as courts expect all legal procedures to be followed precisely. Staying organized and informed can protect your family’s rights throughout the process.</p>How an Attorney Can Help Families Seek Justice<p>When you’re facing the loss of a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, hiring an experienced wrongful death attorney can make a significant difference in your pursuit of justice.</p><p>With attorney expertise, you’ll have someone who understands the complexities of wrongful death laws and knows how to build a strong case on your behalf. An attorney will gather evidence, interview witnesses, and consult experts to support your claim.</p><p>Through skilled legal representation, your lawyer negotiates with insurance companies and, if necessary, fights for you in court. You don’t have to navigate this difficult process alone—an attorney stands by your side, ensuring your family’s rights are protected and that you receive the financial compensation you deserve for your tragic loss.</p>Frequently Asked QuestionsHow Long Do Wrongful Death Lawsuits Typically Take to Resolve?<p>When you pursue a wrongful death lawsuit, the litigation timeline typically ranges from several months to a few years. Case complexity, evidence, and negotiations all impact how quickly your case resolves, so patience and guidance are essential.</p>Are Wrongful Death Settlements Considered Taxable Income?<p>You don’t usually have to pay taxes on wrongful death settlements, but you should understand the tax implications of different settlement types. Compensation for physical injuries isn’t taxed, while punitive damages or interest may be taxable. Consult a professional.</p>Can Multiple Family Members Receive Compensation Separately?<p>Yes, as multiple claimants, you and other family members can receive compensation separately. Courts or settlements determine compensation distribution based on relationships and losses, ensuring each eligible person’s damages are recognized and fairly addressed.</p>What Happens if the At-Fault Party Cannot Pay Damages?<p>If the at-fault party can’t pay damages, you may still recover compensation through their insurance coverage. If that’s insufficient, explore other financial options like uninsured motorist coverage or pursuing additional assets to help meet your needs.</p>Can Wrongful Death Claims Be Filed Against Government Entities?<p>Yes, you can file wrongful death claims against government entities, but government immunity often limits liability. You must follow strict filing procedures, including tight deadlines and specific forms, so consult an attorney to protect your rights.</p>Conclusion<p>Losing a loved one is devastating, but you don’t have to navigate the complexities of a wrongful death lawsuit alone. Understanding your rights and the types of compensation available empowers you to make informed decisions during this difficult time. By seeking experienced legal guidance, you can pursue justice for your family, hold responsible parties accountable, and secure the financial support you deserve. Remember, you’re not alone—compassionate help is available every step of the way.</p><p> <small>Sponsored</small><p>Thousands of companies are sacking their workers due to AI (artificial intelligence), no industry is spared, business owners are in panic mode due to its rapid change.

Nigerian workers are already suffering from systemic insensitivity to their well-being,” he said.</p><p>In addition, the NLC recommended the inclusion of abereavement leave billthat would grant all workerstwo weeks’ leave and a bereavement allowancein the event of the death of a close relative.</p><p>The NLC however,rejected the current policy that mandatescompulsory retirement for directors after eight years in office, describing it as“anti-worker, arbitrary, and counterproductive.”</p><p>Calling for animmediate repeal, the NLC said the policy had led to the untimely exit of many competent public servants, eroding institutional memory and discouraging merit.</p><p>“The policy is a relic of bureaucratic oppression.

3192059	有图 <p>Indications have emerged that Abdullahi Umar Ganduje was compelled to resign as national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).</p><p>Ganduje, a former governor of Kano State, reportedly tendered his resignation letter yesterday, citing health reasons.</p> <p>However, reliable sources, who spoke to Weekend Trust, linked Ganduje’s resignation to permutations ahead of the 2027 presidential election.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>The sources confirmed that the head of one of the security agencies was at Ganduje’s residence around 2 a.m. on Friday to demand his resignation letter.</p><p>“We are all shocked. We didn’t see it coming,” said a source close to the former chairman.</p><p>The source also disclosed that a governor from the North East who has been very active in the party and a prominent politician from the North West who is very close to the president visited Ganduje yesterday “apparently to console him.”</p><p>Meanwhile, earlier yesterday, Ganduje led members of the party’s National Working Committee, NEC, on a condolence visit to the Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago at the state’s liaison office in Abuja, over the devastating Mokwa flood and bandit attacks in Mariga LGA on the state.</p><p>The visit is believed to be the last official function he performed as national chairman of the APC.</p><p>Kwankwaso’s expected return to APC a deciding factor</p><p>Regarding the motive behind the move, one of the sources linked it to reports that the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, whom Tinubu is perceived to have long courted, was considering joining the opposition coalition led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.</p><p>“You know Kwankwaso gave the president one condition for rejoining the APC: Ganduje’s removal as national chairman. With Ganduje in charge, Kwankwaso couldn’t assume party leadership in Kano,” the source said.</p><p>“We learnt that the president was informed that Kwankwaso had been approached by the Atiku-led coalition and was already considering the offer. That may have triggered Ganduje’s removal,” the source added.</p><p>Another source, who also confirmed the Kwankwaso factor, said the upcoming APC congress likely influenced the decision. According to him, Tinubu may have realised that retaining Ganduje would make it harder to bring Kwankwaso and other political heavyweights from various states into the APC. Without state structures to offer, these figures would be unlikely to join.</p><p>The North Central factor</p><p>Beyond the Kwankwaso dynamics, Ganduje’s tenure was also said to have faced sustained opposition from the party’s stakeholders in the North Central where his predecessor, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, hails from.</p><p>Adamu, a former governor of Nasarawa State, was reportedly forced to resign after the 2023 general elections. He was believed not to have not supported Tinubu during the APC presidential primaries. He was said to have backed the then Senate president, Ahmad Lawan, as the consensus candidate. Tinubu ultimately defeated Lawan and others to clinch the ticket.</p><p>After the elections, Adamu resigned, paving the way for Ganduje, a key Tinubu campaigner, to assume the chairmanship of the party. But since then, North Central stakeholders have demanded that the position return to their zone, rather than remain in the North West where Ganduje comes from.</p><p>With Ganduje’s exit, attention has shifted to the North Central for his replacement, with the spotlight on three prominent figures: Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, Senator George Akume and Senator Mohammed Sani Musa, also known as 313.</p><p>A founding APC member and former governor of Nasarawa State, Al-Makura is viewed as Tinubu’s loyalist. He was believed to have played a central role in the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) bloc during the 2013 merger that birthed the APC.</p><p>Senator Akume, who is the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) is seen as a loyalist and associate of President Tinubu, having served as governor of Benue State the same time the president served as governor of Lagos State.</p><p>Senator Musa, who represents Niger East Senatorial District and had previously contested the party’s chairmanship, is also a close ally of the president. Musa is the chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance.</p><p>However, analysts say the trio face a structural challenge: the fact that APC governors currently lead their respective states. Since governors are traditionally recognised as party leaders in their states, this dynamics may complicate the trio’s chances resigned, paving the way for Ganduje, a key Tinubu campaigner, to assume the chairmanship of the party. But since then, North Central stakeholders have demanded that the position return to their zone, rather than remain in the North West where Ganduje comes from.</p><p>Dalori may emerge acting chair as APC mulls emergency NEC meeting</p><p>Barring any last-minute change of decision, the Deputy National Chairman (North) of the party, Hon. Abubakar Kyari Dalori, is expected to assume control of the party’s national leadership in acting capacity, following Ganduje’s resignation. He is likely to remain in the position until the party’s national convention scheduled for November.</p><p>APC’s National Director of Publicity, Bala Ibrahim, told Daily Trust last night that he was not aware of Ganduje’s resignation. However, he explained that constitutionally, if the office of national chairman becomes vacant, the deputy national chairman from the same region would automatically take over in acting capacity.</p><p>“So, as things stand today, if indeed Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has resigned, the deputy national chairman (North) will step in as acting chairman. That is Dalori. But that’s if he has truly resigned as you’ve said. I’m not confirming to you that Dr Ganduje has resigned,” Ibrahim said.</p><p>Weekend Trust also gathered that an emergency meeting of the APC’s National Executive Committee (NEC) was being planned to be held in the coming days.</p><p>At the meeting, an interim arrangement may be formalised, pending the ratification or election of a substantive chairman at the November convention.</p><p>Party insiders said consultations were ongoing and might lead to the emergence of a consensus candidate in order to avoid divisive contests and internal fragmentation.</p><p>How successive APC chairmen exited</p><p>Weekend Trust reports that since the formation of the APC in 2013, the party has had six national chairmen, most of whom left office under controversial circumstances.</p><p>The six chairmen are Chief Bisi Akande (2013–2014), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun (2014–2018), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole (2018–2020), Mai Mala Buni (2020–2022), Senator Abdullahi Adamu (2022–2023) and Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje (2023–2025).</p><p>Abdullahi Adamu’s leadership faced sustained criticisms. He was accused of high-handedness, including unilateral dismissal of party directors and replacing them with loyalists; an allegation he denied publicly.</p><p>Amid mounting internal tensions and leadership disputes, Adamu eventually resigned via a letter addressed to President Tinubu.</p><p>Oshiomhole, a former governor of Edo State and ex-president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), became APC chairman in June 2018 with the backing of the then President Muhammadu Buhari and key party figures.</p><p>But his tenure was marred by factional conflicts and internal crises. On June 25, 2020, the NEC dissolved the Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee (NWC), alleging abuse of office and failure to unite party interests.</p><p>Following Oshiomhole’s removal, the NEC appointed Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni as chairman of the National Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee.</p><p>The committee was initially given six months from June 2020 to conduct a national convention, but the timeline was extended in December 2020 by another six months to allow time for reconciliation among aggrieved members.</p><p>While the Buni-led committee succeeded in attracting several high-profile defectors to the APC, it was widely criticised for failing to deliver a timely convention. The mounting pressure led to the convention from which Adamu emerged as chairman.</p><p>Oyegun, another former governor of Edo State, was the APC’s first substantive national chairman following its registration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).</p><p>He succeeded Bisi Akande after intense negotiations and internal horse-trading among the party’s various legacy factions.</p><p> <small>Sponsored</small><p>Thousands of companies are sacking their workers due to AI (artificial intelligence), no industry is spared, business owners are in panic mode due to its rapid change.

3192058	有图 <p>The world heaved a collective sigh of relief when the Iran-Israel war which had been raging dangerously since the night of June 13 came to a stop following the announcement of a ceasefire between the antagonists by President Donald Trump on Monday June 23, 2025.</p><p>The war started when Israeli war planes in an operation called “Rising Lion” launched strikes at Iranian nuclear sites, military facilities as well as the assassination of top military figures and nuclear scientists.</p><p> Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while announcing the strikes, said it was meant to stop Iran from further development in its bid to acquire nuclear weapons.</p> <p>Reacting to the strike, Iran vowed to retaliate immediately. And within 24 hours of the Israeli attack, Iran in its response named “True Promise” launched hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles striking targets in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa. The barrage of missiles also hit and damaged Israeli military facilities and infrastructure.</p><p> In the ensuing days of the war, both sides traded salvos of deadly ordinances which led to global appeals for a ceasefire. As the conflict continued with daily strikes and mounting losses of lives and destruction to the horror and outrage of the global audience, the concern was that the war could engulf the entire Middle East region and possibly even the world should global powers be drawn in.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>The prospect of a nuclear armed Israel deciding to drop a nuclear bomb on Iran in pursuit of its goals, as the conflict wore on, loomed large in the minds of humanity as the catastrophic effects of this event would be unfathomable.</p><p> This was what probably informed the decision of President Trump to intervene in the conflict by deploying America’s heavier and much more effective ordnance on the Iranian nuclear facilities, which had reportedly withstood the Israelis. This also paved the way for President Trump to declare the ceasefire which in many ways pulled the world back from the brink of what could possibly have led to World War III.</p> Billionaire, philanthropist, Aminu Dantata, dies at 94 Cancer on the rise in Nigeria &#8211; Minister<p>It is gratifying to note that thus far, the antagonists – Iran and Israel – have agreed to maintain a ceasefire and work towards the restoration of normalcy in their respective countries. We are also happy to note that the tension that had gripped the world over the conflict is subsiding and that diplomatic efforts are now going on to review and tackle the contentious issues that brought about the conflict.</p><p>We at the Daily Trust believe, like most people around the world, that the blame for this conflict lies squarely with the Israelis. The unprovoked attack on Iran was without doubt a flagrant and reckless breach of International law. Israel’s action was an irresponsible resort to self help on matters that it had neither the mandate of the United Nations nor that of the countries in the region to do, that is invading Iran.</p><p>We particularly note that since its establishment 77 years ago in 1948, the state of Israel has chosen to cherry pick on United Nations resolutions affecting it: implementing those that favours it and ignoring or disavowing those that call on it to observe international laws and conventions. An example of this is the fact that while Israel owes its establishment to the UN resolution that called for two states, one for it and another for Palestine, Israel has studiously denied the latter the right to statehood. As in the present case of the war with Iran, Israel had always chosen the path of war rather than diplomatic dialogue to resolve its issues with neighbouring countries. In this regard, it is instructive that Israel chose to attack Iran while the latter was involved in dialogue with the Americans on the issue of nuclear weapons.</p><p>It is equally disheartening that Israel is routinely encouraged along this path of infamy by the US which is expected to be an honest broker. Where previous US presidents had at least chosen to restrain Israel and to insist on dialogue with Iran, President Trump had chosen instead to encourage Israel along the path of belligerence. The result is what we have witnessed in terms of Israel’s acts of unprovoked aggression on Iran nearly leading to a global conflagration.</p><p> All said, it is the expectation of the world that the ceasefire between Iran and Israel currently in place will be sustained to enable constructive diplomatic discussions leading to the comprehensive resolution of all the existential issues of the Middle East at the core of which is statehood for the Palestinian people, which can no longer be delayed.</p><p> We also hope that the international community, especially the major powers, would take the world back to the diplomacy path instead of growing unilateralism. We, therefore, call for the strengthening of the United Nations to enable it execute its mandate.</p><p> <small>Sponsored</small><p>Thousands of companies are sacking their workers due to AI (artificial intelligence), no industry is spared, business owners are in panic mode due to its rapid change.

Daarin stonden onder meer de procedures rondom de beveiliging van de gevangenissen, namen van zijn collega"s, kentekens en een mail van het Team Criminele Inlichtingen (TCI) over vermeende plannen voor een uitbraakpoging van Ridouan Taghi uit de EBI in Vught.</p><p>Mustapha F. (42) werkte jarenlang bij de Landelijke Bijzondere Bijstandseenheid (LBB), onderdeel van de Dienst Justitiële Inrichtingen. De LBB is verantwoordelijk voor de uitvoering van binnenlandse veiligheidsoperaties.</p>Herwaardering van functie<p>Volgens F. mailde hij de geheime bestanden naar zijn privémailadres voor een onderzoek naar de herwaardering van zijn functie. Met een werkstuk wilde hij in kaart brengen wat de werktaken en de bijbehorende risico"s waren, schrijft Omroep Brabant.</p><p>Omdat de man thuis geen toegang had tot de beveiligde computers van DJI mailde hij de vertrouwelijke informatie naar zijn privémailadres. Volgens F. deed hij dat omdat hij het werkstuk alleen buiten werktijd kon maken.</p><p>De geheime informatie over een mogelijke ontsnappingspoging van Taghi met een helikopter zou hij als concreet voorbeeld van een veiligheidsincident hebben gebruikt. F. verzamelde deze incidenten in opdracht van de integriteitscommissie van het ministerie van Veiligheid en Justitie, zo vertelde hij tijdens de zitting.</p><p>De rechtbank oordeelde dat zijn uitleg niet onaannemelijk is. Uit het strafdossier komt naar voren dat de man daadwerkelijk over zijn werkstuk een presentatie heeft gegeven en dat de doorgestuurde bestanden daarin naar voren kwamen.</p>Veiligheid in geding<p>Toch is F. wel strafbaar, oordeelt de rechtbank. Door de niet-openbare gegevens naar een onbeveiligde laptop te mailen, kon de veiligheid van anderen in gevaar komen. Ook had F. geen toestemming van zijn werkgever om de gegevens naar zichzelf te sturen en is niet duidelijk geworden waarom hij de voorbeelden van veiligheidsincidenten niet binnen de beveiligde computeromgeving van de DJI kon verzamelen.</p><p>Bovendien vindt de rechtbank het gedrag van F. opmerkelijk voor iemand die gewend was te werken met strenge veiligheidseisen. "Het staat haaks op zijn inzet voor een veiligere werkomgeving", stelt de rechtbank. Er zijn geen aanwijzingen dat de oud-ambtenaar de bestanden naar anderen heeft doorgestuurd of dat hij te linken is aan een criminele organisatie.</p>Revolver<p>De man is ook veroordeeld voor het bezit van een revolver met munitie en een gasdrukpistool, die bij een doorzoeking van zijn woning werden aangetroffen. Die waren volgens F. afkomstig van een familielid, die naar een verzorgingshuis was gegaan.</p><p>De officier van justitie had een taakstraf van 240 uur en een voorwaardelijke celstraf van zes maanden geëist. De straf valt lager uit, onder meer omdat de man is ontslagen.</p> Taakstraf voor justitiemedewerker die informatie over beveiliging EBI mailde	查看 3186	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-06-28 01:44:14 2025-06-28 15:30:16	word
3192054	无图 <p>Het Amerikaanse hooggerechtshof heeft de macht van federale rechters deels ingeperkt. Federale rechters zijn niet langer bevoegd om zonder meer de uitvoering van presidentiële decreten tegen te houden.</p><p>Het Hof deed uitspraak over het besluit van rechters in Maryland, Massachusetts en Washington over het decreet van president Trump om het geboorterecht op Amerikaans staatsburgerschap te beperken. Op de eerste dag van zijn tweede termijn had Trump daartoe besloten. Kinderen van migranten zonder papieren worden daardoor niet langer automatisch staatsburger.</p><p>Drie rechters, in de staten Maryland, Massachusetts en Washington, hielden dat beleid tegen, maar zijn nu teruggefloten door een meerderheid van zes conservatieve hoge rechters. De uitspraak kan gevolgen hebben voor zo"n 150.000 kinderen die jaarlijks in de VS worden geboren, meldt persbureau Reuters.</p><p>De zaak bij het hof was opmerkelijk omdat de regering-Trump aanvoerde dat federale rechters niet het recht hebben om landelijk beleid in te perken. Aan het hof werd gevraagd om die bevoegdheid formeel in te perken, zonder naar de inhoud van wetten te kijken. Federale rechters hebben vaker landelijke verboden opgelegd om Trumps vergaande gebruik van zijn presidentiële bevoegdheden te beteugelen.</p>Grondwet<p>Tegenstanders stellen dat het inperken van de macht van federale rechters in strijd is met het veertiende amendement van de Amerikaanse grondwet. In dat amendement staat dat iedereen die in de VS is geboren of genaturaliseerd automatisch staatsburger is. De regering-Trump stelt dat dat niet van toepassing is op mensen die illegaal in het land verblijven, of op tijdelijke bezoekers zoals studenten of arbeidsmigranten.</p><p>Trump ziet de uitspraak van het hof als "een gigantische overwinning". Volgens hem heeft "de hoax van het geboorterecht, zij het indirect, een harde klap gekregen".</p><p>De uitspraak van het Hof heeft mogelijk ook gevolgen voor tientallen andere zaken waarin federale rechters decreten van Trump hebben tegengehouden. De uitspraak maakt dit niet onmogelijk, maar stelt er voorwaarden aan.</p>Migranten naar derde landen<p>Deze week boekte de Amerikaanse president ook al een overwinning rondom migratie. Het hof oordeelde dat de regering migranten naar landen mag uitzetten die niet hun thuisland zijn, zonder dat ze de kans krijgen om aan te tonen dat ze gevaar lopen in dat land.</p><p>De directeur van een organisatie die strijdt voor de rechten van Latijns-Amerikaanse vrouwen zegt dat die uitspraak "de deur opent naar discriminatie, staatloosheid en een fundamentele uitholling van rechten voor mensen die op Amerikaanse bodem zijn geboren".</p><p>"Door het opheffen van het verbod op dit wrede en ongrondwettelijke presidentiële besluit, zullen gezinnen in het hele land te maken krijgen met chaos en verwarring", zegt ze in een verklaring.</p> Hof haalt streep door verbod federale rechters op decreet van Trump	查看 2876	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-06-28 01:59:51 2025-06-28 15:30:16	word
3192053	无图 <p>Er komt waarschijnlijk toch weer subsidie voor de bouw van windparken op de Noordzee. Dat maakte demissionair minister Hermans van Klimaat vandaag bekend tijdens een werkbezoek aan het windpark Hollandse Kust Noord van Shell en Eneco.</p><p>De afgelopen jaren werden de windparken op zee zonder subsidie gebouwd. Maar hoge kosten en onzekerheid over toekomstig elektriciteitsgebruik van de industrie maken subsidie nu toch weer nodig, aldus energiebedrijven.</p><p>In 2033 is driekwart van de elektriciteit in Nederland afkomstig van windparken op de Noordzee. Alle windparken die hiervoor zorgen, zijn of worden binnenkort gebouwd.</p><p>De komende jaren worden de windparken aanbesteed die na 2033 gebouwd moeten worden. Om er zeker van te zijn dat ook die stroom in de toekomst wordt afgenomen, is er duidelijkheid nodig over de elektriciteitsafname van de zware industrie in Nederland.</p>Risico van te lage stroomprijs<p>Weliswaar zijn er allerlei plannen van grote bedrijven om van aardgas over te stappen op duurzame elektriciteit of groene waterstof, maar de definitieve investeringsbesluiten hierover laten op zich wachten. Windparkbouwers lopen hierdoor het risico dat het aanbod van elektriciteit groter wordt dan de afname.</p><p>Hierdoor kan de elektriciteitsprijs naar een niveau zakken waarop de windparken verliesgevend worden. Verschillende bedrijven hebben daarom de afgelopen tijd gepleit voor een nieuwe vorm van subsidie.</p><p>Het gaat om het systeem dat ook in het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Denemarken wordt gehanteerd. Het zogenoemde "contract for difference". Hierbij past de overheid bij als de elektriciteitsprijs door een vastgestelde minimumprijs zakt. Als de elektriciteitsprijs door het dak schiet roomt de overheid de winst van de windparkeigenaar af. Binnen het vastgelegde minimum en maximum kan de markt zonder overheidsbemoeienis zijn gang gaan.</p>Andere werelddelen<p>Als de zware industrie overschakelt op elektriciteit kunnen de kosten voor de overheid meevallen. Zo niet dan kan de nieuwe subsidie in de papieren lopen. Minister Hermans moet de herinvoering van subsidie in augustus nog door het demissionaire kabinet zien te krijgen. Daarna moet de Tweede Kamer het plan nog goedkeuren.</p><p>Voor bedrijven die afhankelijk zijn van de bouw van de windparken is het van belang dat er snel duidelijkheid komt. Zo heeft offshorebedrijf Van Oord net het grootste installatieschip ter wereld in gebruik genomen. De Boreas kost maar liefst een half miljard euro en moet dus niet te veel stilliggen.</p><p>Van Oord werkt het liefst op de Noordzee, maar als opdrachten daar uitblijven vaart het schip naar andere werelddelen. Ook het Nederlandse SIF, dat de funderingen voor de windturbines bouwt, heeft duidelijkheid nodig. De nieuwe fabriek op de Tweede Maasvlakte kan in de problemen komen als de vraag langdurig komt stil te liggen.</p> Toch weer zicht op subsidie voor windparken op de Noordzee	查看 2875	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-06-28 02:35:47 2025-06-28 15:30:16	word

De man viel ook vijf andere mensen aan. Onder de gewonden waren twee agenten.</p><p>Nabestaanden van de jongen zeggen dat "het recht heeft gezegevierd". Zijn ouders spreken van een "pijnlijk en traumatisch hoofdstuk in ons leven". "Geen enkele uitspraak of straf zal onze zoon terugbrengen. Daniël is ons ontnomen op een manier die geen enkel gezin zou moeten meemaken."</p><p>De rechter zei tegen Monzo dat zijn overmatige gebruik van cannabis mede de oorzaak was van zijn daad. "Je was enigszins gewaarschuwd voor de nadelige effecten op jou; je wist dat het je paranoïde maakte en in elk geval tot paniekaanvallen leidde."</p>Onderweg naar school<p>De man werd woensdag al schuldig bevonden. Hij is ook veroordeeld voor poging tot moord op drie andere slachtoffers en voor het verwonden van twee anderen.

3192051	无图 <p>Ondanks een verbod van de politie na nieuwe Hongaarse wetgeving, gaan de voorbereidingen voor de Boedapest Pride die voor morgen gepland staat in volle vaart door. Sterker nog, deelnemers denken dat het juist de grootste mars in de hoofdstad ooit kan worden.</p><p>In het cultuurcentrum Aurora leggen betogers de laatste hand aan hun protestborden en vlaggen. "Er komen hopelijk veel meer mensen", zegt Botond (25), die zelf biseksueel is. Hij helpt als vrijwilliger mee met de Pride en zit met een potlood in zijn hand over een vel papier gebogen. "Maar mensen zijn wel veel banger, en er staat veel meer op het spel."</p><p>Het verbod op de Pride-mars heeft tot boze reacties uit Europese hoofdsteden geleid en ervoor gezorgd dat demonstranten en hoogwaardigheidsbekleders uit alle hoeken van het continent meedoen. Vertegenwoordigers van ambassades en zeventig Europarlementariërs lopen mee. Ook burgemeester Halsema van Amsterdam en Tweede Kamerlid Dassen (Volt) zijn erbij.</p>"Antidemocratisch"<p>Namens de Nederlandse regering is demissionair staatssecretaris Paul van Emancipatie in Boedapest. Ze is bij verschillende kleinere Pride-evenementen aanwezig, maar of ze meedoet met de door de regering verboden mars, beslist ze pas zaterdagochtend omdat er tegenstrijdige lezingen zijn over of de mars mag doorgaan. Tijdens een toespraak in het stadhuis in de Hongaarse hoofdstad sprak ze zich wel uit tegen de "antidemocratische acties van de Hongaarse regering".</p><p>Volgens de progressieve burgemeester Karácsony van Boedapest is de mars een gemeente-evenement en mag die daarom gewoon doorgaan. Hij heeft zich sinds het verbod verder achter de organisatie van Pride geschaard. "We kunnen geen tweederangs- of derderangsburgers hebben in Hongarije", zei hij vrijdag tegen een zaal bomvol internationale journalisten.</p><p>Karácsony benadrukte dat het verbod past in een campagne die Orbán al 15 jaar voert tegen minderheden in Hongarije. Ook beloofde hij dat de gemeente ervoor zal zorgen dat niemand gevolgen zal ondervinden van deelname. Een dreigement van de regering dat hij opgepakt kan worden, lachte de burgemeester weg.</p>Tegendemonstratie<p>Orbán heeft er met het verbod voor gezorgd dat het lhbti-protest een Europese kwestie is geworden over de toekomst van een democratisch Hongarije. De premier benadrukte in een persconferentie vrijdag dat burgers zich moeten houden aan de wet, en dat het aan de politie is om in te grijpen of niet. In de tussentijd heeft een extreemrechtse groep ook een demonstratie aangekondigd langs de route van de Pride.</p><p>"We maken ons natuurlijk zorgen om lhbti-rechten", zegt vrijwilliger Botond in het cultuurcentrum. "Maar deze wetgeving zal gevolgen hebben voor iedereen die tegen de Hongaarse regering wil protesteren."</p><p>De wet kwam eerder dit jaar door het Hongaarse parlement. Daarin is vastgelegd dat de "bescherming van kinderen" zwaarder weegt dan het recht om te demonstreren. De regering stelt lhbti-rechten gelijk aan pedofilie en zegt dat de Pride daarom niet door mag gaan.</p><p>Ook Blanka Rakos, die het cultuurcentrum runt, doet altijd mee aan Pride. Ze is met spuitbussen en tape bezig met haar vlag die ze bij de mars mee wil dragen. "Misschien voel je het als je geen lhbti"er bent niet nu meteen, maar onze rechten worden afgenomen en dat is een probleem voor iedereen."</p>Volle homobarren<p>Achter Blanka zit haar 9-jarige dochter op de grond. Met spuitbussen tekent ze regenboogvlaggen op kartonnen borden. Normaal mag ze altijd mee naar Pride. "Ik denk dat iedereen een plek verdient in de wereld, en dat is iets waar we voor moeten protesteren", zegt het meisje.</p><p>Maar dit jaar weet Blanka het niet zo goed. Omdat de regering specifiek zegt kinderen te willen beschermen tegen lhbti-uitingen, is ze toch bang voor de gevolgen. De politie zou bijvoorbeeld gezichtsherkenningstechnieken kunnen gebruiken, zegt ze. "Als ik dan met mijn dochter daar ben, kunnen ze misschien wel deze plek sluiten."</p><p>Ja, het verbod hakt er wel in, stelt Botond. Zeker bij de lhbti-gemeenschap. Veel vrienden en kennissen zijn door alle anti-lhbti-maatregelen naar het buitenland vertrokken of overwegen te emigreren. "Het is eng, al helemaal voor trans personen, om het doelwit te zijn van zoveel haat en propaganda van de regering."</p><p>Toch blijft hij optimistisch. Als hij uitgaat, zijn homobarren in Boedapest nog altijd vol en wordt er volop gedanst. "Ik heb er vertrouwen in dat we hier doorheen komen. We waren er altijd en zullen er altijd zijn."</p> Voorbereidingen voor Pride-mars in Boedapest gaan onder hoogspanning door	查看 4539	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-06-28 03:28:01 2025-06-28 15:30:16	word
3192050	无图 <p>In de omgeving van de Italiaanse stad Turijn zijn twee kinderen van 6 en 9 jaar aangetroffen die volgens de rechter afgezonderd van de maatschappij leefden, melden Italiaanse media. De kinderen hebben Nederlandse ouders. Niemand buiten de boerderij waar ze leefden, wist van het bestaan van de kinderen. Ze zijn inmiddels elders ondergebracht.</p><p>De situatie van het gezin kwam aan het licht nadat de gemeente het huis wilde ontruimen na een zware overstroming. Toen de autoriteiten aankwamen troffen ze daar de kinderen onder erbarmelijke hygiënische omstandigheden aan, schrijven media. Ze droegen allebei nog luiers, konden nauwelijks spreken, lezen of schrijven en waren volledig van de buitenwereld afgesloten.</p><p>Rayan (9) en Noha (6) stonden niet ingeschreven bij de burgerlijke stand en zijn nooit naar school geweest. Ze hebben ook geen geboortebewijs, geen identiteitsbewijs en hadden volgens de media nog nooit een dokter gezien.</p><p>De jongen en het meisje leefden in een vervallen boerderij midden in het bos. Ze hebben een Nederlandse vader van 54 en moeder van 38. Waar de ouders in Nederland vandaan komen en of de kinderen ook in Nederland hebben gewoond, is niet duidelijk. Tegen de politie zei de man dat ze een tijd in Duitsland hebben gewoond.</p>"Geen verwaarlozing"<p>Tegen de Italiaanse krant La Stampa zegt de vader, een kunstenaar die metalen sculpturen maakt, dat er geen sprake is van verwaarlozing van de kinderen. Hij spreekt van een alternatieve opvoeding.</p><p>Volgens hem waren de kinderen pas twee weken geleden in Italië aangekomen. Uit gemeentegegevens blijkt dat de man al drie jaar in het dorp woont. De kinderen waren dus waarschijnlijk langer dan twee weken bij hem, concludeert de krant.</p><p>Op de vraag waarom de kinderen niet naar school gingen, zei hij dat ze online lessen volgen. Ook zouden ze veel speelgoed hebben, elk hun eigen computer en muziekinstrumenten. In de zomer zouden ze gaan paardrijden.</p>Beschermde opvang<p>De kinderrechter oordeelde dat de kinderen geen passende zorg hebben gekregen. Niet van de moeder, die volledig afwezig zou zijn geweest. En niet van de vader, die de kinderen zou hebben verwaarloosd, in sociaal isolement zou hebben geplaatst en hebben onthouden van educatie.</p><p>De rechter heeft de kinderen ondergebracht in een beschermde opvang. Mogelijk worden ze in een pleeggezin geplaatst. Contact met de ouders mag voortaan alleen in neutrale ruimtes, schrijft de krant. De instantie die verantwoordelijk is voor de jeugdzorg zorgt ervoor dat de kinderen officiële documenten krijgen en toegang tot onderwijs en een arts.</p><p>"Het is een delicate zaak", zegt burgemeester Mara Baccolla.

De ministers van Buitenlandse Zaken van Congo en Rwanda tekenden de overeenkomst vandaag onder toeziend oog van de Amerikaanse buitenlandminister Rubio in Washington.</p><p>Het akkoord geeft de VS ook toegang tot de felbegeerde minerale grondstoffen in Congo. De Amerikaanse president Trump kondigde vorige week het "prachtige verdrag" aan op Truth Social en noemde het een "geweldige dag" voor Afrika. "Ik was in staat om ze bij elkaar te krijgen", aldus Trump. "En dat niet alleen, we krijgen voor de Verenigde Staten veel mineraalrechten uit Congo."</p><p>Het aanhoudende geweld in de regio kostte aan duizenden mensen het leven. Het Congolese leger vocht in Oost-Congo tegen rebellengroep M23. Dat is er de grootste rebellengroep, die wordt gesteund door buurland Rwanda. Dit voorjaar kreeg M23 de stad Goma in handen. Sinds begin dit jaar won de rebellengroep aan terrein. Daarbij vielen duizenden doden en raakten honderdduizenden ontheemd.</p>Terugtrekken<p>Persbureau Reuters meldt op basis van een versie van het akkoord dat de twee landen akkoord zijn gegaan met het implementeren van een akkoord van vorig jaar. Dat zou betekenen dat de Rwandese troepen zich binnen negentig dagen moeten terugtrekken uit Oost-Congo. En dat de twee landen binnen drie maanden een kader opzetten voor economische integratie.</p><p>De strijd in Oost-Congo draait vooral om grondstoffen. In Congo zitten onder meer materialen als goud, lithium en coltan in de bodem. Dat zijn zeer gewilde materialen. Lithium is bijvoorbeeld belangrijk voor het maken van accu"s en coltan voor de productie van telefoons en laptops.</p><p>Beide buitenlandministers lieten weten dat er nog veel moet gebeuren voordat de gevechten echt ten einde zijn. "Degenen die het meest hebben geleden, kijken toe. Ze verwachten dat deze overeenkomst wordt nageleefd en we mogen hen niet teleurstellen", zei de Congolese minister Wagner.</p><p>"We moeten erkennen dat er veel onzekerheid is in onze regio en daarbuiten, omdat veel eerdere overeenkomsten niet zijn geïmplementeerd", zei haar Rwandese ambtgenoot Nduhungirehe.</p><p>Sinds 2021 werden er meerder keren wapenstilstanden afgekondigd, maar die hielden niet stand. Wel zei Nduhungirehe dat hij gelooft dat er een keerpunt is bereikt met de voortdurende steun van de VS.</p><p>Naar verwachting zullen de twee ministers later vandaag nog de Amerikaanse president Trump ontmoeten.</p> Congo en Rwanda ondertekenen vredesakkoord in de Verenigde Staten	查看 2670	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-06-28 04:16:08 2025-06-28 15:30:16	word

Nabestaanden dachten dat Jon Hallford hun de as van geliefden had opgestuurd, maar in feite liet hij de overledenen vergaan in een gebouwtje in de staat Colorado.</p><p>Het OM had een straf van 15 jaar geëist, zijn advocaten drongen aan op 10 jaar cel. De rechter vond echter alleen de maximumstraf gepast: "Dit is niet zomaar een ordinaire fraude".</p><p>De mensonterende praktijken van Hallford en zijn vrouw kwamen aan het licht toen de politie in 2023 een inval deed in hun "ecologisch uitvaartcentrum" vanwege een penetrante geur. Agenten ontdekten dat de ontbindende lichamen sinds 2019 willekeurig opgestapeld in het bedrijf waren bewaard.</p>Geschokte reacties<p>Nabestaanden waren geschokt over de feiten. "Ik lig "s nacht wakker: was ze naakt? Was ze als brandhout opgestapeld", zei nabestaande Derrick Johnson in een slachtofferverklaring na de dood van zijn moeder. In zeker twee gevallen bleek Hallford bij een uitvaart het verkeerde lichaam te hebben overgedragen.</p><p>Hallford gebruikte het geld voor de begrafenissen voor nieuwe auto"s, om luxegoederen te kopen en in cryptovaluta te investeren.
