Het is niet om aan te zien: de gele grasvelden, de verdorde bloemen, de bomen die hun blad verliezen, de diepe scheuren in de uitgedroogde grond… De Rijn heeft de laagste stand sinds mensenheugenis. Sproeien is op veel plekken inmiddels verboden.
As Washington cedes both military aid and battlefield know-how to Europe and Ukrainian instructors, Moscow probes for breakthroughs around Chasiv Yar and Kostyantynivka that could redraw the eastern front.
Recente schriftelijke vragen van Ja21 zijn een rechtstreeks doorgeefluik van Delta Air Lines, KLM en Schiphol. De vliegindustrie levert het frame, Kamerlid Maarten Goudzwaard schrijft het braaf op.

One of the biggest upsets from Democratic primary elections this month was Donavan McKinney’s defeat of two-term Congressmember Shri Thanedar in the House primary to represent parts of Detroit and Wayne County in Michigan’s 13th District. McKinney, a democratic socialist state lawmaker, won on a platform to get corporate money out of politics, support Medicare for All and end military aid to Israel, among other issues.
We speak with Tennessee lawmaker Justin J. Pearson, who just won the Democratic primary to represent part of Memphis in the state’s 9th Congressional District. Pearson’s campaign focused in part on opposing large artificial intelligence data centers, particularly Elon Musk’s Colossus 1 and Colossus 2, which are in the Memphis area. “People don’t want toxic data centers polluting the air that they breathe,” says Pearson. “It’s not a fight of right versus left; it’s a fight of those who are at the top and the rest of us.”

Not even the energy crisis or the extreme heat could slow down Hungarian prime minister Péter Magyar and his party’s, Tisza’s, transformation of the political system. Although not without missteps, the new prime minister followed through on the campaign he launched in April to replace the president of the republic, completing it by mid-August.
Flock Safety, the embattled vendor of mass surveillance technology, has rolled out a handful of new reforms intended to appease the justified nationwide anger that has seen scores of towns cancel or suspend their contracts with the company for automated license plate readers (ALPRs).

Gelukkig is hij dit keer na elf dagen vrijgelaten.

Amsterwarm, Smelthogenbosch, Grillversum en Hotterdam. Onze actievoerders onthullen vandaag hetere namen op vier Nederlandse treinstations. Met deze actie laten we zien dat deze snikhete zomer niet normaal is.
Greenpeace doopt treinstations om tot ‘Hotterdam Centraal’ en ‘Grillversum Media Park’
De rechter heeft uitgesproken dat luchthavens een natuurvergunning moeten hebben, maar handhaving blijft uit. Hier wordt een economisch delict gepleegd. En zo’n delict hoort niet in de bestuurlijke coulissen te verdwijnen, maar in de strafrechtelijke arena te worden beoordeeld. De Wet op de economische delicten (WED) is ondubbelzinnig.
We speak with Timnit Gebru, a leader in the field of AI ethics, about how artificial intelligence is entrenching societal biases and inequality. Gebru is the founder and executive director of the Distributed Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, a group of academics, activists and engineers who produce research rooted in the belief that technology should benefit everyone. She also co-founded Black in AI, a nonprofit that works to increase the inclusion and visibility of Black people in the field of AI.
A new defence pact by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan promises to shield hundreds of millions of people from regional wars, but could just as easily drag their countries into a clash with Iran or Israel.

A little-known EU agency now controls €1.99bn in tech contracts and algorithms, working with major tech companies such as IDEMIA, IBM, and Leonardo SpA at the EU’s borders — even though most people being scanned have no idea how the system works or how it judges them.
Het valt niet mee om na al die zonnige dagen waarop niets hoefde en alles kon, ineens weer terug te moeten naar de ‘dagelijkse sleur’. De wekker die onwerkelijk vroeg gaat. De kinderen die weer naar school moeten (regio Noord). Deadlines die je weer om de oren vliegen. De dagen die zichtbaar korter worden.
The same cheap civilian drones you can order online are being retooled into weapons faster than defences can adapt, creating a war zone where human control still exists on paper but is increasingly hollow in practice.
Voor Nederland zijn kernwapens niet langer taboe. Dat is een trendbreuk waarvan de gevolgen niet te overzien zijn. Het is zeer belangrijk dat de regeering op haar schreden terugkeert.
Tripling union membership would raise wages, reduce inequality and strengthen communities. Policymakers should take note.
Rwanda just became the first country to start EU talks on hosting refugee return hubs. It was confirmed on 6 August, but Kigali’s track record makes a mockery of European claims that migrants’ rights will be respected in third countries.
After the “roof-flew-off” video from Kapotnya went viral, cooler satellite images, duelling frontline maps, and haunting drone footage of doomed lorry drivers revealed a far grimmer, longer game, unfolding behind the clips.
The EU’s plans to liberalise rules on pesticide use at home contrast with new restrictions on imports of produce containing pesticide residues. Yet the EU continues to sell banned pesticides to countries outside the bloc.
Groningen Airport Eelde ziet zichzelf als ‘regionale motor’, maar het nieuwe jaarverslag toont vooral een luchthaven die structureel afhankelijk is van publieke steun, verkeerde aannames en een markt die het vliegveld simpelweg niet nodig heeft.
“Door de stikstofregels verdwijnen al onze boeren.” Het is een veelgehoord verhaal van de rechterflank in de Tweede Kamer, gevoed door de agro-lobby.
From London, we revisit the Gaza Tribunal, an independent, nongovernmental inquiry into the United Kingdom’s complicity in the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. The tribunal, held nearly one year ago, was chaired by our three guests: former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, Israeli professor of human rights law Neve Gordon and Palestinian legal scholar Shahd Hammouri. Their new book is titled The Gaza Tribunal: Britain’s Complicity in Genocide.

Het Libanese parlement keurde op 11 augustus een wet goed die de doodstraf afschaft en vervangt door levenslange gevangenisstraf met dwangarbeid als alternatieve straf. Amnesty International verwelkomt deze stap. Libanon heeft sinds 17 januari 2004 geen executies meer uitgevoerd.
Behind closed doors, Tisza ditched high‑profile names before settling on Baka, the quiet jurist whose earlier ousting became a European human-rights scandal.

Shell bleek doelbewust een gebrekkige oliepijpleiding in de Nigerdelta te blijven gebruiken, terwijl het bedrijf wist dat deze al jarenlang extreme milieuvervuiling veroorzaakte. Dat blijkt uit nieuw onderzoek van onder andere Amnesty International en SOMO.
Miljoenen reizigers worden elk jaar bewust omgevlogen. Omdat het verdienmodel van netwerkmaatschappijen draait op omwegen. Extra kilometers, extra starts, extra uitstoot — allemaal zorgvuldig ingebouwd in het systeem. Dat is nu wetenschappelijk bevestigd.
The EU Commission is manifesting AI as a 'vulgar Thatcherism', while leaving the predictably negative side-effects to fall on citizens.
We spend the hour with civil rights lawyer Bryan Stevenson, founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative. In 2018, the organization opened the Legacy Museum in Montgomery, Alabama, to tell the history of millions of enslaved Africans who were abducted and trafficked across the Atlantic to the Americas by European powers, and to chronicle the legacy of slavery, racism, lynchings and segregation in the United States.

Opiniestuk in de Volkskrant door Bram Joanknecht (coördinator Tax Justice NL), gepubliceerd op 9 augustus, 2026 Vaak gaat het belastingdebat over percentages achter de komma en uitvoerbaarheid. Maar belastingen gaan uiteindelijk over de samenleving waarin we willen leven.
Wij zetten tientallen gebieden op een rij waar Europa nog zeggenschap heeft.
Why a joint defence platform with Ukraine is a prerequisite for Europe’s strategic agency and security.
‘Gelijkwaardigheid is een voorwaarde voor bestaanszekerheid.’
Imagine if McDonald’s could use trademark law to control how you use the term “fast food.” Or if the Canadian government could stop you from using the word “Canada” in the title of a book about the country and its people. That wouldn’t just be absurd; it would be an unacceptable obstacle to criticism of and commentary about those institutions.
Een paar weken geleden had ik met een vriendin een gesprek over onze douchegewoonten. Zij douchte minimaal twee keer per dag, omdat ze dat heerlijk vond. Ik ben een paar jaar geleden gestopt met elke dag douchen en poedel de helft van de tijd vrolijk met een washandje en koud water bij de wastafel. Of,

Firsthand accounts from Ukrainian fighters and even Russian military bloggers say Russia's much-hyped “drone-proof” tanks cannot handle mass-scale attacks, while minor Russian territorial gains look less impressive than at first sight.
As Baltic leaders sound the alarm over a possible Russian false-flag drone strike, they fear the real damage could come from the political chaos and hesitation it triggers among Nato allies in the crucial first hours.

We continue our coverage from the Edinburgh International Festival, where acclaimed Brazilian actor and filmmaker Wagner Moura stars in the play A Trial — after An Enemy of the People. A sequel to the 1882 Henrik Ibsen play An Enemy of the People, A Trial — after An Enemy of the People interrogates themes of authoritarianism, misinformation and public judgement. It is directed by Brazil’s Christiane Jatahy.
Het kabinet kwam kort voor het zomerreces met een nieuwe strategie voor vrede en veiligheid. Er is een eenzijdige focus op ‘harde veiligheid’, terwijl bekend is dat dit niet werkt en het kabinet er bovendien zelf op wijst dat de dreiging niet alleen militair is. De balans tussen defensie en diplomatie, ontwikkeling, bescherming van sociale cohesie en de democratische rechtsorde moet gevonden worden. Het zomerreces dient hopelijk voor reflectie om te komen tot een passendere strategie.
Democracy Now! is broadcasting from Scotland at the Edinburgh International Festival, which features music, opera, theater and dance and is one of Europe’s biggest arts festivals. We are joined by the acclaimed Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti, one of the most celebrated classical violinists in the world. She became the first woman and first Scottish artist to become director of the Edinburgh International Festival in 2022.
We speak with Keith LaMar, an artist, teacher and writer on death row in Ohio. LaMar, who has spent three decades in solitary confinement, was sentenced to death for the murder of five fellow prisoners during a 1993 prison uprising. He has always maintained his innocence. His trial was held in a remote Ohio community before an all-white jury. LaMar is one of three men on death row for whom Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued reprieves, pushing back their execution dates to 2030.

“Narva is next.” That short sentence encapsulates Western scaremongering and the pernicious recycling of Kremlin talking points about the Baltic states’ supposed vulnerability.
Zonder middelen geen actie. Bij Greenpeace doen we niet wat politiek haalbaar is, we doen wat nodig is om onze planeet te beschermen. Maar om die vloot op zee te houden en onze campagnes kracht bij te zetten, hebben we supporters nodig die achter ons staan. Ben jij een strategische verbinder die kansen ziet in de markt en deze weet te vertalen naar duurzame inkomsten? Dan hebben we jou nodig.
As Marine Le Pen elbows aside the ambitious Jordan Bardella to stand in next year's presidential elections after her surprise court reprieve, France’s political class is bracing for a brutal showdown over who really controls the country’s future course.
Europa is het continent dat het snelst opwarmt. En dat merken we ook in Nederland. Met de eerste hittegolf in juni ontstond al een run op airco’s. Maar zorgen airco’s wel voor de verkoeling waar we zo naar snakken? We zoeken het uit.
Drie klimaatrapporten in opdracht van het ministerie van I&W construeren zorgvuldig een bestuurlijke werkelijkheid rond de luchtvaart waarin het ministerie geen blaam treft.
With the far right poised to govern parts of Germany for the first time since WWII, Boeselager warns that only bold economic fixes and fairer pension sacrifices can convince frustrated workers that democracy still delivers.
De officiële bekendmaking WSB‑2026‑20372 en een bijbehorende bodemrapportage tonen een inmiddels klassiek gevalletje schiphollen: de ingreep wordt gepresenteerd als “groot onderhoud”, maar er blijkt een ernstige PFAS‑verontreiniging te liggen die men liever niet benoemt, niet onderzoekt en vooral niet oplost.
Brussels little-known food safety corps is becoming a strategic line of defence in the struggle to keep Europe’s plates clean without derailing trade.
From hospital wards to cramped flats and overheated classrooms, the new European battle over air conditioning will decide who gets to stay healthy, keep working and simply sleep through the next wave of 35°C nights.
Before the votes had even been counted, some were treating the results in Michigan as a defeat for the Left. This is hard to square with the fact that well beyond Abdul El-Sayed’s win, progressives and socialists won major races.
Last month, France passed a law authorising assisted dying. Medical advancements and an increasingly ageing population, have resulted in a handful of new laws on assisted dying across the EU, of which the French bill is the latest.
Behind the dramatic warehouse fires, insiders describe a marketplace using customers’ cash to plug growing holes in its business model—leaving the state to choose between a costly bailout or a shock to Russia’s fragile home front.
We speak with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed after his victory in Michigan’s primary race for U.S. Senate sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party. El-Sayed, a former public health official, ran a progressive campaign focused on affordability, Medicare for All, getting money out of politics, and opposing Israel’s genocide in Gaza. He defeated Congressmember Haley Stevens, who was backed by tens of millions in outside spending including by AIPAC, the powerful pro-Israel lobby group.
Composer and playwright César Alvarez joins Democracy Now! to discuss their new musical, The Potluck. It tells the story of the 1979 Greensboro Massacre, when Klansmen and American Nazis opened fire on an antiracist demonstration in Greensboro, North Carolina, killing five members of the Communist Workers’ Party. In 2020, the Greensboro City Council passed a resolution apologizing for the attack and the police department’s complicity in the killings. Alvarez tells Democracy Now!
Kansas state Senator Cindy Holscher won Tuesday’s primary race to become the Democratic nominee in the state’s gubernatorial race, facing Republican Ty Masterson in November. Holscher clinched the nomination over fellow state lawmaker Ethan Corson, who was backed by the outgoing Democratic Kansas Governor Laura Kelly. Holscher’s victory is seen as another resounding defeat for establishment Democrats in Kansas and nationwide. The fight over data centers became a defining issue in the Kansas race.
Reproductive rights activists are alarmed over a pledge by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to institute nationwide abortion restrictions. Blanche, whose confirmation for attorney general is currently before the Senate, made the remarks in a private call with anti-abortion activists that was later posted online.

Creating an institution that cannot, by design, reach the one man it was created for is not accountability. It is expensive symbolism — and it costs Europe exactly the credibility it is trying to project, argues former ICC judge Christine Van den Wyngaert.
As Moscow quietly strings together enough Rassvet satellites to open brief internet “corridors” over Ukraine, Kyiv’s experts are racing to decide whether to fight this new threat in space or on the ground.
Korte vluchten verbieden zou niets opleveren, reizigers blijven toch vliegen, de trein is slechts een romantisch alternatief voor idealisten. Maar cijfers uit Oostenrijk en Frankrijk maken dit frame van de vliegindustrie met de grond gelijk.
Around 1,000 people are expected to gather this week in a Portuguese mountain village to protest against a lithium mine that Brussels has designated as strategically important to Europe.
In Pakistan-administered Kashmir, a coalition of local politicians, activists and small-business leaders called the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) has been leading mass protests over the soaring cost of living and the limits placed on political autonomy. In response, the Pakistani government banned the group under counterterrorism laws and ordered a communications blackout. Security forces have been accused of indiscriminately firing on nonviolent demonstrators, killing at least 40 people.
Mary Robinson has long blazed a trail for women in power. The first female president of Ireland later became UN high commissioner and climate envoy, pursing human rights advocacy until this day as chair of The Elders, a global leaders collective formed by Nelson Mandela. Robinson visited the West Bank with the group in July, and came to Brussels shortly after to underscore the urgency of EU action.
By using forced-labour claims to justify tariffs and threaten Europe’s digital and climate rules, Washington is testing whether the EU dares to turn its own powerful regulatory arsenal against American companies.
Is AI superintelligence inevitable? AI safety researcher David Krueger says it doesn’t have to be. Krueger, an assistant professor at the University of Montreal and founder of the nonprofit Evitable, warns that “we need to mitigate the risk of extinction” with regulation and moratoriums to halt the development of AI’s computational power and complexity, which he says is progressing at a rate much faster than current levels of human supervision can manage.
The Pacific Northwest is facing its worst fire season in more than 30 years. Scientists say drought, extreme heat and climate change are making wildfire seasons longer, more frequent and more destructive across the western United States. “The homes, the communities, they’re just not simply prepared for fire,” says Paul Hessburg, former senior research ecologist at the U.S. Forest Service and professor of fire and landscape ecology at the University of Washington.

Europe’s failure to shield workers from extreme heat is becoming an €800bn threat to jobs, wages, and national budgets, as farms and construction sites grind to a halt.
Het officiële narratief dat de kernaanvallen op Japan in 1945 noodzakelijk en gerechtvaardigd waren, berust op mythes. Elk gebruik van dit massavernietigingswapen is altijd in strijd met het oorlogsrecht en moreel verwerpelijk, ook in Hiroshima en Nagasaki.
About €1.4bn in interest from more than €210bn in frozen Russian central bank assets will be channelled to finance Ukraine’s war effort and economy, after a deadly Russian missile attack on Kyiv.
As Kyiv counts its dead after another night of unstoppable missile strikes, Ukraine’s generals and Western allies are suddenly forced to decide whether to hit Russia’s launchers directly — and whether Elon Musk will let them.
Berlin approved the export guarantee on the basis that the rig would replace older equipment, but researchers say it opened a new field instead.
The US supplies a quarter of EU plasma, and now they’re in a supply crisis. Although that doesn’t mean an imminent emergency in Brussels, the EU needs to get ahead in its external dependence on life-giving products like plasma.
In the wake of a third ICE death at the Delaney Hall ICE jail in Newark, New Jersey, we speak with Gabriela Soto, whose husband Martín was one of the leaders of the May hunger strike at the immigration jail. Martín was transferred to Elizabeth Detention Center, New Jersey’s other ICE facility, during the hunger strike at Delaney. Gabriela is calling for the closure of both facilities.

Sinds de Explane‑app niet meer wordt onderhouden, ontbrak het bewoners aan een betrouwbaar instrument om de herrie van Schiphol zelf vast te leggen. De luchtvaartsector rekent de overlast immers liever weg in gemiddelden, modellen en abstracties.
Voters went to the polls in Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Virginia and Washington state on Tuesday. We continue to look at the results of those primary elections, with The Nation’s John Nichols calling it “a very good night for insurgent candidacies and for outsiders,” especially for candidates that campaigned around the fight against AI data centers.

On 8 August 1991, thousands of Albanians arrived in Bari aboard an overcrowded cargo ship. 35 years later, as Ceuta tests Europe’s new migration architecture, the words of Bari’s mayor Enrico Dalfino offer an uncomfortable measure of how far Europe’s migration debate has travelled: can Europe still say “they are people”?
Progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed has been declared the winner of Michigan’s closely watched Democratic Senate primary, narrowly beating out Congressmember Haley Stevens, according to the Associated Press and other news agencies. AIPAC and its affiliated groups spent as much as $46 million to help Stevens in what has become the most expensive Democratic Senate primary contest in U.S. history. El-Sayed will face former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers in November to fill the seat now held by Democratic Senator Gary Peters, who is retiring.
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed Wins Michigan’s Democratic Senate Primary; U.S. Military Reportedly Used Up 80% of Its Key Missile Interceptors in Iran War; National Guard to Continue Washington, D.C., Deployment Through 2029, Costing $1.4 Billion; GOP Congressmember Edwards Drops Reelection Bid After Sexual Harassment Allegations; Third immigrant Dies in Detention at Notorious ICE Jail Delaney Hall;

As Chaiko’s champagne-soaked birthday in a Moscow luxury restaurant turned into a bloodbath, furious pro-war bloggers are openly asking why they should keep dying at the front when their generals cannot even be kept safe at home.
We look at the life and legacy of Dominican American historian, activist and prison abolitionist Dr. Johanna Fernández, who died on July 30 after a long battle with cancer. She was 55 years old. As a professor of history at Baruch College and the CUNY Graduate Center, Fernández was a leading scholar of the Young Lords, the radical 1960s civil rights organization founded in Chicago and New York and modeled on the Black Panthers.
More than 70 years after the kidnapping, torture and lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till in Mississippi, a major new photography exhibit and companion book ask how the world would be different “If Emmett Till Lived.” The Black teenager’s brutal murder, as well as his open-casket funeral that displayed his mutilated body, shocked the United States in 1955 and became a galvanizing moment in the civil rights movement. If Till had lived, he would be just over 85 years old today.
Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general cleared a major hurdle this week after two Republican senators who had raised concerns agreed to back him. Blanche gave written assurances that a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund” designed to pay Trump allies would not be resurrected, and that a settlement between Trump and the Internal Revenue Service only gave the president retroactive immunity from audits rather than perpetual protection.
Uit een nieuw onderzoek van topjuristen Ellen Gijselaar en Anneloes Kuiper blijkt een patroon dat zelden zo helder is blootgelegd: zodra het over Schiphol gaat, verandert artikel 8 EVRM van een mensenrechtennorm in een loos artikel.

While drones already account for most of the bloodshed in Ukraine, the push to let AI, not humans, choose who lives or dies is racing far ahead of any global rules meant to protect civilians.
De ‘Nederland-Israël-investeringsdossiers’ van SOMO onderzoeken hoe Nederland het investeringsknooppunt van Israël is geworden. Nederland is wereldwijd de grootste ontvanger van Israëlische buitenlandse investeringen en de op één na grootste bron van investeringen in Israël. Dit is geen toeval.
De ‘Nederland-Israël-investeringsdossiers’ van SOMO onderzoeken hoe Nederland het investeringsknooppunt van Israël is geworden. Twee van de grootste wapenproducenten van Israël gebruiken Nederland als uitvalsbasis om in Europa te investeren en wapenproducenten in diverse Europese landen over te nemen.
De ‘Nederland-Israël-investeringsdossiers’ van SOMO onderzoeken hoe Nederland het investeringsknooppunt van Israël is geworden. Volgens de Organisatie voor Economische Samenwerking en Ontwikkeling (OESO(opens in new window) ) is de tech-industrie een belangrijke motor van de Israëlische economie. De groei van de Israëlische tech-sector kan niet los worden gezien van de militaire macht van het land.
De ‘Nederland-Israël-investeringsdossiers’ van SOMO onderzoeken hoe Nederland het investeringsknooppunt van Israël is geworden. Twee van de grootste Israëlische bedrijven hebben hun Europese hoofdkantoor in Nederland gevestigd: Teva Pharmaceuticals, de grootste particuliere werkgever van Israël, en chemiegigant Israel Chemicals Limited (ICL Group). Deze Israëlische bedrijfsgiganten gebruiken Nederlandse bedrijven om miljarden in hun wereldwijde activiteiten te pompen.

Terwijl Israël Palestijnen in Gaza bombardeert, uithongert en ontheemt, en Palestijnen op de Westelijke Jordaanoever gedwongen verplaatst en discrimineert, weigert Nederland echte economische sancties op te leggen.
A historic drought and record-low water levels in the Danube have pushed Hungary into an energy crisis that is rapidly escalating into a political confrontation, with the far right urging supporters to consume more electricity in defiance of government appeals for energy-saving.
Zaterdag een jaar geleden kwamen tientallen Afrikaanse migranten om toen ze het grenshek tussen Marokko en de Spaanse enclave Melilla bestormden. Het liep uit op het dodelijkste incident aan een Europese landgrens in recente jaren. Adams Hussein (18) en Mickael Fousseini (30) weten hoe onbereikbaar Melilla is.
Op 30 juli stuurden we een brief naar minister Van Veldhoven (Klimaat en Groene Groei) met de dringende oproep om te pleiten voor een sterk EU-ETS-systeem dat wél bijdraagt aan de klimaatdoelen. Hoe zit dat precies?
The EU’s carbon border tax could cost India’s steel exporters far less than expected. That is the conclusion of a new report by climate think tank Sandbag, released on Tuesday (4 August). The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) requires importers to pay for the carbon emitted in producing goods such as steel and cement. India, which has a large steel sector, has repeatedly challenged the EU’s carbon border tax at the World Trade Organization, and joined Brazil, China and South Africa in 2021, calling CBAM “discriminatory.”

The Senate Commerce Committee is once again considering legislation that would dramatically expand age verification, and undermine privacy for everyone. Alongside the SCREEN Act, the CHATBOT Act, and the Youth AI Privacy Act, the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) would push companies to collect more information about their users while creating new incentives to restrict lawful speech.
EFF joined a group of 18 civil society organizations to send a letter encouraging New York Governor Kathy Hochul to veto Senate Bill 9934A, the New York Stealth Crawler Prohibition Act.
The Federal Trade Commission issued a proposed policy statement “concerning the suppression of accuracy in artificial intelligence systems.” But the government may not install itself as the arbiter of truth. We urge the FTC to withdraw this misguided proposal and instead focus on its core strengths and mission to protect consumers.
The Senate Commerce Committee is poised to consider the Youth AI Privacy Act, a bill that would require AI companies to create kids-only privacy rules and implement so-called “safe design features,” which would—like three other bills under consideration this week—require more data collection and make it harder for people to access lawful speech online.
As the EU’s AI act comes into force, new research warns how vulnerable our political opinions may be to AI interference.
The mass crossing of thousands of migrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta could damage years of increasingly close relations between Brussels and Rabat.
First published in Deník N. A Czech businessman has been detained in China since late June on charges of endangering national security, but the local authorities have so far refused to disclose further details. Deník N has uncovered what the man is suspected of and how his first meeting with a Czech diplomat proceeded. Chinese authorities have been holding the Czech businessman for a month but have kept secret what they wanted to charge the man with. Czech authorities did not specify it either.

Russia has effectively halted much of Ukraine’s seaborne grain exports. Its attacks have been aided by the new Banderol missile — what is its main advantage? Russia fired a record number of ballistic missiles at Ukraine in July. However, the number of Russian long-range drones declined, and Ukrainians are now shooting down Russians at a rate of two to one. Russian forces made gains of 88 square kilometres in July.
Op 27 maart trok reiskoepel ANVR stevig van leer. Op de eigen website kondigde de lobbyclub aan een bodemprocedure tegen de gemeente Den Haag vanwege het Haagse verbod op fossiele reclame. De boodschap was helder: de strijd was nog lang niet voorbij.
We speak to Dave Zirin, author and sports editor at The Nation, about his new book, The People’s Historian: The Outsized Life of Howard Zinn, chronicling the life and activism of the legendary historian Howard Zinn, author of A People’s History of the United States. For Zinn, says Zirin, “being an academic was always secondary to being in the streets and making history, not just studying history.”
One year ago, an Israeli settler shot and killed the Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen in the occupied West Bank. Hathaleen, an English teacher and father of three young children, played a key role in the production of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, which follows Palestinians in the community of Masafer Yatta as they struggle to stay on their land amid violent attacks by Israeli settlers.

An estimated 60,000 people from Morocco crossed into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, on the African side of the Strait of Gibraltar, in an unprecedented mass movement last week. At least 72 people died during the attempt. The sudden influx of migrants overwhelmed the city’s residents, leading to a humanitarian crisis while border police deployed water cannons, tear gas and warning shots to deter people from crossing. According to Spain’s Interior Ministry, nearly all of the migrants returned to Morocco just a day later.

Schiphol heeft een probleem. Een groot probleem. Een probleem dat in de bodem zit, in het water, in het Amsterdamse Bos en in de vergunningen. PFAS. Giftige stoffen die niet afbreken, zich ophopen en eeuwenlang blijven bestaan.
Amsterdam viert feest. WorldPride is begonnen: 2 weken vol evenementen, feesten en protest die in het teken staan van meer rechten voor LHBTQIA+ personen. We vinden het prachtig dat onze stad Amsterdam dit mag hosten. Toch zit ons één ding dwars: op de meest zichtbare plekken in de stad zien we reclame voor de sponsor KLM. Dat is opmerkelijk.
President Trump said Thursday he may temporarily withdraw his nomination of Todd Blanche for attorney general after two Republican senators, John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, said they would not vote to advance Blanche’s nomination until they received written assurances that he would limit some of the terms in the controversial deal reached between the Department of Justice and President Trump to settle his personal lawsuit against the IRS.

Tienduizenden mensen, onder wie kinderen, staken vrijdag 31 juli over vanuit Marokko naar de Spaanse exclave Ceuta. Daarbij zouden die dag 43 mensen om het leven zijn gekomen. Amnesty International roept op om mensenrechten, menselijkheid en waardigheid centraal te stellen bij de aanpak van deze situatie.
The Haitian community is bracing for mass deportations after the Supreme Court last month sided with the Trump administration to end TPS, or Temporary Protected Status, for over 300,000 Haitians as well as thousands of Syrians who fled violence in their home countries. According to an internal government document, the plans to round up and deport Haitian immigrants could start this week. President Trump has long expressed animus toward Haitians in the United States.
A coalition of social justice organizations is celebrating a recent decision by Citizens Bank to divest from private prison companies that operate immigration jails for the federal government. The financial institution has faced significant pressure from protesters for providing more than $2.5 billion in financing to CoreCivic and the GEO Group, which work directly with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. While the bank denied that activist pressure affected its decision, the De-ICE Citizens Bank Coalition counted it as a victory.
De regering van Nicaragua wil de ambtstermijn van de president verlengen en zogenaamde ‘verraders’ of ‘samenzweerders’ uitsluiten van verkiezingen. Deze voorgestelde grondwetshervorming ondermijnt fundamentele rechten en versterkt de macht van president Daniel Ortega.
Artificial intelligence tools are quickly advancing in sophistication and capabilities, raising alarm among researchers and industry figures who say the technology needs to be more tightly regulated. This comes as OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT, recently disclosed that one of its experimental AI agents went rogue and secretly hacked into the infrastructure of several other companies in what was supposed to be a controlled test. Over 1,100 scientists and senior employees at top AI firms have called on the U.S.
