⚠️ Iran Foreign Minister: “The Iran-U.S. Ceasefire terms are clear and explicit: the U.S. must choose—ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both. The world sees the massacres in Lebanon. The ball is in the U.S. court, and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments.”

“In de grote leegte van het universum is de aarde een oase, de enige plek waar we samen kúnnen bestaan. Thinking about all the cultures in the world… This is an opportunity for us to remember where we are, who we are, and that we’re the same thing, and that we got to get through this together.” 🌎🌱

This quote from Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has been in my head the last few days

ZELENSKYY: Russia started war, committed war crimes, occupied part of our country. It's not just land — it's homes, people's lives. They stole childhood from our children. That's why, when we are asked what compromises we are ready to make, it sounds UNBELIEVABLY STRANGE to us.

🔴 ÚLTIMA HORA | España, Alemania, Italia, Austria y Portugal piden a la UE un impuesto que grave los beneficios de las eléctricas

French President Macron: “Europe is an extremely attractive continent. For months I’ve been saying this. And thanks to our American friends, I now have an unprecedented selling point: We are predictable.”

American operatives tied to Donald Trump and the Heritage Foundation are helping build a transatlantic far-right infrastructure in Europe, channeling funding, strategy, and influence through Orbán-linked networks to advance coordinated attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, women’s autonomy, and democracy.

Allegedly, US conducted a double tap attack on the bridge, hitting it an hour after the initial attack when the emergency personnel was helping on location. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/w...

The verdict is in: Meta and YouTube are addictive by design. A landmark bellwether trial found they drove users to addiction, even at the cost of actively harming children. This sets a precedent, but accountability isn’t enough. We need regulation to make platforms safe by design.

Trump taps Silicon Valley billionaires for policy advice ft.trib.al/hwLamj5

Read today’s daily overview: nearly 1,000 Russian drones in one day, strikes on Lviv’s heritage, and a Ukrainian hit on a Bastion launcher with Zircons in occupied Crimea. Russia is trying to make aerial terror almost nonstop.

Australia and Europe may be oceans apart, but our security is inseparable. Signing this new Security and Defence Partnership with @senatorwong.bsky.social and @RichardMarlesMP is a strategic investment in Europe’s and Australia’s joint security. (1/2)

Crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne gave Reform UK £12m last year. Nearly two thirds of the party’s £18.8m in donations. Farage’s outfit is not a grassroots movement. It is a political project bankrolled by one billionaire.

Na 8 jaar onderhandelen hebben de Europese Unie en Australië dinsdag in Canberra een groot vrijhandelsakkoord gesloten. Lees meer in onze nieuwsblog ⬇️

Tijdelijke maatregelen nemen en dan verder onderhandelen over structurele maatregelen is geen optie? Is het niet dringend om in te grijpen?

The real story… under any other president this would be jail time…

Trump, qui nous rebat les oreilles sur le gouffre financier qu'aurait représenté l'aide à l'Ukraine par l'admin Biden, a dépensé en 96h 16 milliards de dollars de matériel militaire, soit *un quart* du total de l'aide militaire US reçue par l'Ukraine en trois ans (1/3) www.fpri.org/article/2026...

Energiecrisis steeds nijpender: waren er maar alternatieven voor olie en gas

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Iran will help Japanese ships safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz if they coordinate with Tehran. (Kyodo News)

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

EU Inc streeft naar de invoering van een uniforme reeks bedrijfsregels die in de hele EU van toepassing zijn, waardoor administratieve processen voor oprichters die in meerdere landen actief zijn, worden gestroomlijnd.

Eerst de Nieuwstraat en de Meir, en dan zijn ze klaar voor de Straat van Hormuz, zoiets?

Volgt de Belgische politieke klasse de feiten een beetje of trekt men zich van de feiten niets aan, en doet enige morele reflex er helemaal niet meer toe?

Terwijl de olie- en gasprijzen de hoogte in schieten, ten nadele van de Europese industrie, bekijkt Europa nu of de groene transitie kan worden afgeremd. #ETS

* UAE STRESSES NEED TO AVOID TARGETING VITAL FACILITIES, EMPHASIZING IMPORTANCE TO ADHERING TO INTERNATIONAL LAW -- STATEMENT @reuters.com

Le jumelage entre Anvers et Saint-Pétersbourg remonte à 1958 . C’était un jumelage classique, dans un contexte de fin de guerre froide. Mais en avril 2018 -soit après l’annexion de la Crimée par #Poutine!- le bourgmestre Bart De Wever, relance et dope carrément le truc.

Een pleidooi voor meer spiegels. Kiezers kunnen pas vrij stemmen wanneer ze de waarheid kennen. Onder meer (vooral) de 4e macht heeft als taak de waarheid naar boven te brengen. De vierde macht lijkt minder en minder bezorgd om de waarheid. Waarborgt de 4e macht vrije verkiezingen/echte democratie?

Onder vier ogen geven oud-presidenten Trump gelijk...
