Europe is being told that its future depends on more weapons, bigger military budgets, permanent mobilisation, and deeper dependence on NATO. From Brussels to Berlin, “security” is being rewritten to mean rearmament, while social security, climate security, housing, healthcare, democracy, and peace are pushed aside as luxuries we can no longer afford. But whose security is actually being protected? In this public DiEM25 panel, Julijana Zita, member of DiEM25’s Coordinating Collective, is joined by Paweł Mościcki, Polish philosopher, writer and essayist; Michalis Kritharidis of MeRA25 Greece; Jan Bělíček, editor-in-chief of Deník Alarm; and Adam Hruška of Volt Czechia to confront Europe’s accelerating militarisation and ask whether our continent’s future can, and must, move beyond NATO. Together, they discuss what genuine security could mean in a Europe trapped between imperial power blocs, war economies, arms industry profits, authoritarian drift, and political elites who treat peace as weakness. Can the left speak credibly about safety without surrendering to the language of generals and defence contractors? Can Europe defend people instead of borders, democracy instead of markets, and peace instead of endless escalation? This conversation is not about naïve pacifism. It is about refusing the false choice between militarised fear and political irrelevance. It is about reclaiming security from those who have turned it into a business model — and imagining a Europe built on peace, justice, democracy, and solidarity. The panel is followed by a 30-minute audience Q&A. Speakers: Julijana Zita — DiEM25 Coordinating Collective Paweł Mościcki — Polish philosopher, writer and essayist Michalis Kritharidis — MeRA25 Greece Jan Bělíček — Editor-in-chief, Deník Alarm Adam Hruška — Volt Czechia #DiEM25 #NATO #Europe #Militarisation #Security #Peace #AntiWar #EuropeanUnion #MERA25 #Democracy 00:00 Panel Setup and Stakes 02:39 Volt View on EU Defense 05:29 MeRA25 Critique of Rearmament 11:39 Who Commands an EU Army 18:24 Jan on NATO Rift and Risks 23:14 Pawel on Militarism Cycle 33:03 Germany and Far Right Fears 35:28 Left Credibility on Security 48:02 China and Economic Security 50:06 Pawel on Coopted Left and War 56:24 NATO Rift Or Theater 58:00 Europe Can Build It 01:00:31 Europe Is Irrelevant 01:02:52 Energy And Federalism 01:05:40 War Economy Critique 01:08:26 East West Disparities 01:18:52 Militarization Versus Welfare 01:27:44 Breaking US Dependency 01:35:57 Interoperability And Pessimism 01:41:18 Closing Thanks And Hope

Buildings generally aren’t designed for people with disabilities—and when your own home poses daily physical barriers, it can be incredibly frustrating. But smart home technology can offer surprisingly simple, life-changing solutions for people with disabilities, those aging in place, or anyone with temporary mobility issues. This week, Wirecutter accessibility editor Claire Perlman and smart home editor Jon Chase join us to discuss a recent project where they retrofitted Claire's apartment with smart light switches. Because Claire uses a wheelchair and has limited arm mobility, her apartment's light switches were too high for her to easily turn on, leaving her in the dark if a helper wasn't around. Jon and Claire share how they solved this issue using switches that allow Claire to control her overhead lighting using just her voice. They also break down the learning curve of setting up smart home devices, the frustrating realities of Wi-Fi pairing, and the best devices to start with if you want to make your home more accessible. This episode covers: • The limitations of standard ADA compliance: An "ADA compliant" apartment is designed to meet a wide range of needs, which may not work for every disability. • Smart switches vs. smart bulbs: If you want to automate built-in overhead lighting, you don't need to replace your bulbs. Instead, you can replace the physical wall switch with a smart switch that wires directly into your existing setup and can be controlled via an app or a voice assistant like Alexa. • The 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi pairing trick: If you are struggling to get a new smart device to connect to your phone during setup, it's likely because your phone is on a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network while most smart devices use a 2.4 GHz network. You can often fix this by temporarily disabling the 5 GHz band on your router until the setup is complete. • The best smart devices for accessibility: You don't have to automate your entire home at once. Start small with high-impact devices. Smart plugs can turn any standard lamp into a voice-controlled device. Smart locks allow you to let guests or helpers in without needing to get up. Smart smoke detectors let you silence false alarms from your phone, and automated shades can help control room temperature and glare without physical effort. • Why you should stick to name brands: When investing in smart home gear, established companies offer better cloud support, longer software updates, and more reliable compatibility with major ecosystems like Amazon Alexa and Google Home.

There were two enormous national events in the United States this weekend; both drew a global audience and delivered box office entertainment. The first was America’s 250th birthday celebrations. The second was Taylor Swift’s wedding. And somehow, in a way surely only he can, President Trump has found a way to upstage them both. Trump’s unprecedented intervention in the FIFA World Cup - calling FIFA boss Gianni Infantino to question the suspension of US striker Folarin Balogun - violates every rule in the book. Is this a bold act of presidential hubris, or a diplomatic disaster that completely overshadows the US team’s historic performance? Piers Morgan is joined by Megyn Kelly for her take on the above before welcoming his panel; Part of the Problem host Dave Smith.

Reza Pahlavi, de zoon van de laatste sjah van Iran, sprak vandaag in Den Haag met Tweede-Kamerleden op uitnodiging van de VVD. Maar er was veel kritiek op zijn bezoek: Pahlavi is een van de gezichten geworden van het verzet tegen het huidige Iraanse regime, maar hij zou maar een kleine groep Iraniërs vertegenwoordigen. Voorafgaand aan het bezoek van de Tweede Kamer, mochten tegenstanders van Pahlavi hun woordje doen. Maar daarbij liepen de emoties hoog op. #Pahlavi #Iran #TweedeKamer #Nieuwsuur

Marine Le Pen hoort dinsdag of ze wel of niet mag meedoen aan de Franse presidentsverkiezingen. De kans is groot dat zij ook in hoger beroep wordt veroordeeld voor gesjoemel met EU-geld waardoor ze niet mag deelnemen aan de verkiezingen in 2027. Maar haar nummer 2, de populaire Jordan Bardella (30), loopt zich alvast warm. Hij is volgens de peilingen koploper om de huidige president Emmanuel Macron op te volgen. #Frankrijk #MarineLePen #presidentsverkiezingen #politiek #Nieuwsuur

In this episode of World Cup Uncensored, Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan are joined by former England and Chelsea captain John Terry to react to England's outstanding victory over Mexico, the growing belief around Thomas Tuchel's side and FIFA's controversial decision to overturn Folarin Balogun's suspension ahead of the quarter-finals. Simon launches into a passionate criticism of FIFA and Gianni Infantino, arguing football's governing body has undermined its own rules by reversing Balogun's ban midway through the tournament. John questions why players should be punished for refereeing mistakes and believes the bigger issue is the standard of officiating at the World Cup. The panel also heap praise on England's performance at the Azteca, with John hailing it as one of the nation's best displays in recent memory. Thomas Tuchel earns widespread acclaim for his tactical approach, while Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice, Jordan Pickford and Djed Spence all receive special praise after overcoming the altitude, heat and the challenge of playing with ten men. The discussion also turns to whether Gareth Southgate could ever have produced a performance of that calibre with the Three Lions. Finally, the trio look ahead to England's quarter-final against Norway, debating how to stop Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard, whether Marcus Rashford should return to the starting XI and why Tuchel is beginning to convince even his biggest sceptics that the boys could finally be genuine contenders to bring football home. 00:00 - Introduction 01:07 - The panel debate the controversial FIFA decision to suspend Folarin Balogun’s one-match ban 08:34 - Surf Shark advert 09:55 Piers, John and Simon react to England’s sensational win against Mexico 15:50 John Terry and Simon Jordan debate Thomas Tuchel vs Gareth Southgate 17:30 - Is Wonderwall as an English anthem over the top or inspiring and uniting? 19:52 - The panel analyse and praise Thomas Tuchel’s tactics and man-management 20:57 - The Panel discuss Jude Bellingham and how he handles himself with the media 23:15 - Piers back tracks on his Elliot Anderson comments 27:54 - The panel discuss if Neymar was ever world class and if Ancelotti will stay on at Brazil 30:17 - John Terry on the danger posed by Erling Haaland and if he is better than Harry Kane 33:38 - Who should England start against Norway and should we be scared of them? 42:25 - The panel react to journalists filming themselves running at altitude 44:20 - The panel discuss Jurgen Klopp’s decision to take on the Germany job 47:14 - Piers, John and Simon discuss the lack of ambition at Newcastle and Spurs’ summer spending Subscribe to stay up-to-date on all Uncensored content.

De Belgische voetbalbond tekende beroep aan, maar de FIFA neemt dit niet in behandeling. En dus speelt de Amerikaanse topscorer Balogun gewoon mee in de achtste finale van het WK tegen België. Volgens FIFA-voorzitter Infantino heeft de beslissing niks te maken met het telefoongesprek met Trump.
Ryan and Emily discuss Balogun being allowed to play vs Belgium after Trump reached out to FIFA over his red card.

Het is vijf jaar geleden dat Peter R. de Vries werd neergeschoten in de Lange Leidsedwarsstraat. Na een uitzending van RTL Boulevard werd hij onder vuur genomen, anderhalve week later overleed hij. Peter Schouten stond samen met De Vries de kroongetuige bij en kreeg het nieuws via-via al snel te horen. Met hem blikken we terug op die dag. "Dat is een heel heftig moment, veel heftiger kun je je eigenlijk niet voorstellen", blikt Peter Schouten terug op het moment dat hij hoorde hoe zijn vriend en collega Peter R. de Vries in de Lange Leidsedwarsstraat lag. Vlak daarvoor werd hij op klaarlichte dag onder vuur genomen vanuit zijn rug. Marengo Schouten vormde op dat moment, samen met de Vries en Onno de Jong, de verdediging van de kroongetuige in het Marengo-proces. Het proces waarin Ridouan Taghi terechtstaat voor betrokkenheid bij zes moorden en vier pogingen daartoe. De afgelopen vijf jaar zijn geen hel geweest, omdat je op een gegeven moment kracht put uit wat iemand voor jou, Nederland en de wereld betekende. Je gaat je allerlei dingen herinneren waardoor Peter eigenlijk blijft leven. Ook Royce de Vries staat vandaag stil bij de dood van zijn vader. Op Instagram schrijft hij dat hij zich vooral vast wil houden aan de mooie herinneringen, zijn humor en zijn liefde. En ook Peter Schouten zegt: "Wat je natuurlijk het meest mist is de persoonlijke relatie en het kameraadschap dat je met elkaar had. Dat is natuurlijk gewoon datgene wat je het hardste treft." Schouten voert nog steeds de verdediging van kroongetuige Nabil B. in het Marengoproces. Dat proces loopt nu in hoger beroep. De zaak rond de moord op Peter R. de Vries wordt voorbereid om in hoger beroep te behandelen en hoewel de naam van Taghi ook boven deze zaak hangt, is nog altijd niet duidelijk wie de opdrachtgever was. ❌ ❌ ❌ AT5 - Echt Amsterdams Nieuws Abonneer hier op ons youtubekanaal: https://www.youtube.com/AT5 Tips of opmerkingen?

So we all watched what happened to Britney Spears, the head shaving, the umbrella, the paparazzi, and eventually the conservatorship that handed her life over to her father Jamie Spears. But the more I dug into it, the story goes alot deeper than just her father. This one's about who profited from the world believing Britney Spears was crazy, and why so many people around her needed that version of her to be the one you remember. _______________________ ➤ Stream/Download my album: https://ffm.to/jams _______________________ ➤ Follow Jay Diggs: https://www.instagram.com/jaydiggsmusic/ https://www.tiktok.com/@jaydiggsmusic https://x.com/jaydiggsmusic https://www.jaydiggs.com ______________________ ➤ Products and Gear Used in this video: Oberheim OBX8 Synthesizer ➡︎ https://amzn.to/3Odznpo Sony ZV-E10 Camera ➡︎ https://amzn.to/3OwlP9U Rode Wireless Pro II Microphone ➡︎ https://amzn.to/44WOJFw Amaran 100d Video Light ➡︎ https://amzn.to/3DwLg4W RGB LED Lights ➡︎ https://amzn.to/3Yp1N4J _______________________ ➤ Sponsorship and business inquiries: jay@jaydiggs.com _______________________
