in Cyprus today.
Ukraine's brave resistance against Russia is unwavering. So is Europe's support.
In light of Ukraine's sustained reform effort, accession talks should start without delay.

OpenAI rolls out ChatGPT for Clinicians, a free tool for verified physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and pharmacists.
I don't know how far along they are in addressing ChatGPT Health's bugs (there were some major triage problems), but as always, this feels rushed.

Dit zijn letterlijke citaten van ministers aan COA, van een paar jaar geleden.

We can't afford to help Ukraine fight Russian aggression but we'll bail out the UAE.
NO.
Er gaat vanuit links geen enkele dreiging uit, maar de (radicaalrechtse meerderheid in de) Tweede Kamer blijft Antifa als grootste bedreiging van onze democratische rechtsorde afschilderen.
Nee Rechts Nederland: het gevaar komt uit jullie eigen gelederen. Verbreek alle banden met extreemrechts.
'Inlichtingendienst AIVD zegt in het jaarverslag over 2025 dat Rusland zich voorbereidt op een langdurige confrontatie met het Westen. "In de tachtig jaar dat de AIVD en zijn voorlopers bestaan, was er niet eerder een dreigingsbeeld zoals nu", aldus DG Simone Smit. nos.nl/artikel/2611...
We are very happy that today Apple issued a patch and a security advisory. This comes following 404 Media reporting that the FBI accessed Signal message notification content via iOS despite the app being deleted.
Deadlock over. The EU just cleared way for the €90-billion-loan for Ukraine and the 20th sanctions package.
Russia’s war economy is under growing strain, while Ukraine is getting a major boost.
We will provide Ukraine what it needs to hold its ground, until Putin understands his war leads nowhere.
De Telegraaf is als krant niet meer serieus te nemen. "Uit gehackte Israëlische overheidsmails blijkt dat het een instrument van de Israëlische overheid is. Telegraaf-artikelen op basis van rapporten van NGO Monitor beschadigen hulpclubs zoals Oxfam Novib."

Zit Europa al in een oorlog?
„Ja. Maar veel Europeanen beseffen het amper. Oorlog is voor hen iets met tanks en bommen. Maar er zijn ook andere typen oorlog: economisch, ideologisch, hybride. 1)

Trump… 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
Iran’s IRGC Navy has released footage showing the seizure of two container ships in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday.
Trump's latest budget is the culmination of 40 years of increasing social control in America.
Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private contractors, like the drone manufacturers Trump's sons are now major investors in.
All of this is absurd.

Opnieuw onrustig asielprotest Loosdrecht, twee aanhoudingen - nos.nl/l/2611506

Interesting forecast. Here’s what the last 25 years looked like.
PENTAGON ERASES WOUNDED U.S. TROOPS FROM IRAN WAR CASUALTY LIST: "DEFINITION OF A COVER-UP" The U.S. government altered its tally of American casualties - inexplicably scrubbing 15 wounded-in-action troops from the count. Nick Turse April 222026, 10:50 a.m. Share
The Pentagon has launched a cover-up of the casualty count in the Iran War, The Intercept reports.
15 casualties are now not included and at least one reported death Major Sorffly Davius is missing from the official tally.
The system tracking casualties may be omitting hundreds of injuries.
The USS George H W Bush carrier strike group will arrive in the Middle East within 3-4 days, presumably ready for Trump’s deadline for Iran.
Interested to see if he’s prepared to deplete the entire stock of munitions and leave the US defenceless. Of course, Iran knows this.
