Европейский комиссар Франс Тиммерманс (PvdA - Рабочая Партия) зарегистрировался в качестве кандидата на пост главы объединения PvdA-GroenLinks на предстоящих парламентских выборах. Он возвращается в национальную политику после десяти лет в Брюсселе и уже сообщил главе Еврокомиссии Урсуле фон дер Ляйен о своем скором уходе.

62-летний политик может рассчитывать на поддержку со стороны видных деятелей обеих партий. В середине августа партийные советы представят единого предпочтительного кандидата, и им, по данным СМИ, почти наверняка окажется Тиммерманс.

Conservative MP Bob Stewart, 74, who represents Beckenham in south London, is accused of telling a human rights campaigner Sayed Ahmed Alwadaei to “go back to Bahrain” during an incident on December 14 last year.

Stewart is charged with racially aggravated harassment, alarm, or distress under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, and a second allegation of using threatening or abusive words or behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

In just one week, 10 people died in Varna after using heroin, to which the hundred times more powerful synthetic fentanyl was added. The data is unofficial and was reported to Bulgarian media "Dnevnik" by two independent addiction treatment centers - "Just today" and "Change is life". Last week, two women were also arrested in the city, distributing an even stronger and more deadly analogue of fentanyl - α-Methylfentanyl.

The information about the ten deaths in the past week in Varna was neither confirmed nor denied by the regional police directorate in the city. Answers to questions sent to "Dnevnik" on Monday (July 17) revealed only that there have been reports of the appearance of fentanyl on the drug market in Varna since about two months ago and that the police do not have data on the number of overdose deaths.

A recent study conducted by the Pew Research Center had asked citizens around the globe about their opinion concerning Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky.

Невозможно не любить Хокана Юхольта. То есть, задним числом. Когда мы знаем, что он никогда не стал премьер-министром.

Одна из бессмертных формулировок, которые он внес, касается «слизи». Яркое словечко для того, что Юхольт считает кликой политиков, журналистов и консультантов, которые тусуются, «обмениваются услугами» и «вместе растут». По словам Юхольта, то, что он не был частью этой «слизи» стало для него недостатком.

The European Union and Tunisia have reached an agreement on migration. In exchange for hundreds of millions of euros, Tunisia will take measures to stop the clandestine crossing of migrants.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte accompanied President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen to Tunisia after the trio's first visit a month ago, during which they proposed this partnership.

“This is an investment in our common prosperity, stability, and future generations,” Von der Leyen said on Sunday after signing the agreement.

The top story of Canadian news in recent years is one of decline – falling revenues, shrinking work forces of journalists, and fewer readers, watchers and listeners.

There is no stop to the seismic shift to the media consumption landscape happening under newsrooms’ feet. Even as recently as 2016, two-in-five (42%) Canadians said they read a print publication daily for their news. Now that figure has halved (19%). Television (71% to 52%) and radio news (57% to 45%) have also declined in prominence, though they remain important sources of information for majorities of Canadians over the age of 54. In their place, nearly all (89%) Canadians turn to the internet for news.

Ben Wallace will resign at the next Cabinet reshuffle and will not seek re-election as an MP after four years as Defence Secretary.

Mr Wallace, who survived three prime ministers as Defence Secretary, played a key role in the UK’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and was a close ally of Boris Johnson.

Last week, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak shut down comments from Mr Wallace in which he suggested Ukraine should show “gratitude” for the military support it has been given.

The caretaker Cabinet has moved forward with their plan to amend the Dutch Criminal Code in a way that would make it a criminal offense to "publicly condone, deny or downplay the horrors of the Holocaust," the Ministry of Justice and Security announced on Friday. The bill put forward by the Cabinet would adjust the section of the law that makes it punishable to publicly denounce groups of people based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or disability.

This would be amended to include protecting the victims of all acts of genocide, crimes against humanity and other war crimes from "particularly hurtful statements that deny and trivialize these types of international crimes," the ministry said.

Должны ли мы в самом деле довольствоваться тем, что Рublic service некритически сообщает, что те кто хотят закнодательно запретить богохульство делают это во имя любви?

В минувшее воскресенье в Стокгольме под лозунгом «Проявить солидарность» около 4000 человек провели демонстрацию против сожжения Корана. Заголовок Шведского Телевидения гласил: «Любовь побеждает ненависть». Женщина заявляет, что «люди должны уважать мою веру. Они не должны сжигать мой Коран. Они не должны идти против меня». Мужчина говорит, что «Мы хотим, чтобы в Швеции прекратились оскорбления, притеснения и дискриминация в отношении меньшинств».

The Internal Security Agency (ABW) has apprehended an individual who, in collaboration with others posing as representatives of the terrorist organization “Islamic State” and supporting ISIS, planned to carry out a terrorist attack on government buildings in Poland. The arrest took place on June 16, 2023, in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship.

During their official duties, ABW obtained information that an eighteen-year-old Polish citizen intended to conduct a terrorist attack. Towards the end of 2022, he converted to the Islamic faith and drew inspiration from figures such as Osama Bin Laden, Ibrahim Awwad, Abubakr Al-Bahdadi, and Anwar Al-Awlaki. He was influenced by the activities of the “Islamic State” and collected information and materials to construct a suicide bomb belt, with which he planned to carry out an attack on a government building in Poland.
