## Jimmy Kimmel on Trump’s tariffs: ‘Can you believe we’re shaking down Canada’
Late-night hosts discuss Trump’s game of chicken with tariffs on Canada and Mexico and more Doge-induced chaos

### Jimmy Kimmel
Donald Trump moved ahead with his plan to dismantle the Department of Education this week, as its secretary, Linda McMahon, her “final mission” to dissolve the agency in a staff email. “WWE co-founder Linda McMahon will supervise the important work of dismantling the Department of Education,” marveled on Thursday evening. “Another genius tactical move, I’ll tell you why: he keeps getting attacked by all these smart people. What does he do? He outlaws smart. There will be no more smart!
### Seth Meyers
On Late Night, looked at the negative impacts of Trump’s proposed tariffs on American farmers. “Trump thinks American farmers will make more money selling to American consumers rather than exporting their products, but American farmers already produce more food than the entirety of America can eat,” he explained. “That’s why farmers have been hit so hard by the dismantling of USAid,” which purchases about $2bn in food aid from US farmers to send abroad.
“Now those products may go to waste,” said Meyers. “It makes no sense, and food prices aren’t the only things going up thanks to the back-and-forth over Trump’s tariffs.”
Even truck prices are going up thanks to the tariffs. “So farmers won’t even be able to afford trucks any more. Do you think they’re going to have fun loading up a Prius hatchback with corn?” Meyers joked.
“Trump is hurting his own voters – I have to assume most Dodge Ram drivers are Republicans,” he added.
Trump actually paused the auto tariffs, which caused even more confusion in the market. Trump initially proposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico months ago, then paused them at the beginning of February, then announced more tariffs in March, then paused them on Wednesday, but then announced more tariffs for April. “He has no clue what he’s doing,” Meyers noted. “I think he honestly just likes saying the word ‘tariff’.
“It’s almost as if Trump is trying to plunge the economy into a recession,” he continued. “I mean, if you were trying to crash the economy, I don’t know what you would do differently. Because while he’s jacking up prices, he and his Doge hatchet men are also slashing away tens of thousands of jobs.”
Trump and Musk want to eliminate the Department of Education – which they can’t do – slash social security, privatize the postal service and cut the Department of Veterans Affairs. “Trump is dismantling the government, firing thousands of people while prices continue to rise, thanks to his on-again, off-again trade war,” Meyers summarized. “No one knows what Trump is doing, and that seems to include Trump.”
### Stephen Colbert
And on The Late Show, reflected on Trump’s address to Congress, in which he claimed that tariffs “are not just about protecting American jobs, they’re about protecting the soul of our country”.
“So tariffs may raise prices and hurt American consumers, but we must have them, for the protect the _soul_ of our country … ,” said Colbert, “until today, when Trump paused all tariffs for Mexican goods and services, and also paused them for Canada.”
The flip-flop caused Colbert to break out his Trump impression: “Frankly, folks, souls are overrated. I sold mine years ago in exchange for the ability to do anything I want with zero repercussions.”
“Of course, no one has caused more chaos than Elon Musk’s Doge and geek-stapo,” Colbert continued. In a matter of days, they fired 35,000 federal employees “so randomly, that now they’re trying to hire many of them back”. A month ago, Doge fired about 1,300 employees from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; on Wednesday, the agency sent an email calling 180 of them to come back to work, with the subject line “read this e-mail immediately”.
“That’s the kind of heart-stopping urgency that’s a strategy known as ‘your mom texting you at 7am’,” Colbert quipped.
The email stated that “after further review and consideration … you should return to duty under your previous work schedule”.
It ended: “We apologize for any disruption that this may have caused.”
Colbert took umbrage with the apology: “No! Disruption is when your cable goes out during a storm. This is your cable guy burning your house to the ground between the hours of noon and 6pm on Thursday.”

PMgSdGViBNV | https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/david-marcus-calling-rep-sarah-mcbride-mister-isnt-impolite-its-just-reality | David Marcus: Calling Rep. Sarah McBride 'mister' isn't impolite, it's just reality - Fox News
===============
By Fox News
Published March 12, 2025 2:24pm EDT
Chaos erupted in Congress on Tuesday, when a Republican "misgendered" a fellow House member. But maybe it was really just a case of a politician doing the unthinkable: telling the truth.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, chair of the Committee's Europe Subcommittee, referred to Rep. Sarah McBride, D-Del., as 'Mr. McBride,' sparking a heated exchange that brought the hearing to a crashing halt. Ranking Democrat Bill Keating, of Massachusetts, rode to McBride's rescue.
"Mr. Chairman, you are out of order!" Keating thundered. "Mr. Chairman, have you no decency?" he harumphed, channeling the well-worn phrase from the 1950s McCarthy hearings. "This is not decent."
Now, we all understand that if we meet a trans person at a party or a ballgame, we can work around the pronouns and not be a jerk about it. But a congressional hearing is not a private event, it is the official public speech of our government. It should reflect objective reality.
In other words, Self did exactly the right thing to do in that official situation so as not to publicly sanction a delusion.

Over the past decade, since around the time orange became the new black, our society has struggled with how to show deference to those who wish to live as the gender they aren’t while pursuing public policies that protect women.
But that was always the wrong question. That kind of accommodation for the idea that human beings can transubstantiate their gender was always going to bind us in the knots we face today regarding , or women-only spaces such as prisons, shelters, and restrooms.
It is as if many Americans, including many conservatives, have been saying, "Okay, this is pretend, but we will go along with it as long as nobody gets hurt."
The problem is that the simple acceptance of the delusional position that everyone can choose their own gender hurts lots of people, not least of all children and young adults who are seduced by the almost godlike power of supposedly overcoming nature itself.
> "It is because of adults in the room who entertained the lie that I was born in the wrong body and needed to transition that I now suffer from irreversible damage to my body." — Prisha Mosley
As it turns out, the following day in Calgary, I ran into a protest against the policy of putting men in women’s prisons, and we talked about how, 10 years ago, people were nervous about questioning the quasi-religious trans ideology even in private conversation. Today, reality can be proudly spoken, and should be.
The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein argued convincingly that language is not merely the vessel of our thoughts, it is the driver of our thoughts. Once we allow the words "man" and "woman" to mean something other than what biological reality dictates, that choice drives us to the madness and irreversible consequences we are seeing now.
Perhaps all of our efforts to accommodate the lie of transgenderism over the past decade have come from a true place of caring and kindness. But it doesn’t matter, it is hurting people badly, and it has to stop right now.
Will the process of restoring reality on this issue lead to awkward and even volatile moments and situations like we saw in Tuesday’s congressional meltdown? Absolutely. Will those who defend truth be called bigots? Without question.
But when we hear stories like that of Prisha Mosley, and so many others whose lives were forever altered by the insidious lie of transgenderism, we know that whatever slings and arrows come our way, acceptance of the lie makes us complicit.

QChCKP-ecAD | https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/mar/09/france-captain-antoine-dupont-rugby-union-injury | # Antoine Dupont faces long spell out with ruptured cruciate knee ligaments
Antoine Dupont, France’s talismanic captain and the player widely considered to be the best on the planet, has said that he ruptured cruciate ligaments in his right knee during his team’s win against Ireland in the on Saturday.
“The heart hurts even more than the knee when you have to leave your friends before the last step,” Dupont posted on Sunday on Instagram. “I am proud of what we accomplished yesterday and with all my strength with you, you will do it. Rupture of the cruciate ligaments. This is the beginning of a new challenge, I’ll see you in a few months on the field.”

The 28-year-old scrum-half limped off at the Aviva Stadium after the Ireland second-rower Tadhg Beirne fell on his leg at the base of a ruck in the first half. The match referee, Angus Gardner, chose not to sanction the Irishman, believing it was an accident and opting not to refer the decision to the television match official.
Fabien Galthié was not convinced and , calling the incident “reprehensible”. “There is a suspicion of a quite serious knee injury to Antoine,” the France head coach said. “He is suffering and we are suffering with him.
“We are angry and we want an explanation; so, we have cited two players \.”
Both Irish players have avoided disciplinary action, however. Nash’s head-on-head collision with Barassi ended the French midfielder’s game after a failed head injury assessment. With France’s bench stacked with seven forwards and only one back – the scrum-half Maxime Lucu, who replaced Dupont – Galthié was forced to play the replacement flanker Oscar Jégou in midfield.
Simon Easterby, Ireland’s interim head coach while Andy Farrell is seconded to the British & Irish Lions, defended his players after the defeat. “I think it’s just a rugby incident. Tadhg cleans out someone in front of Antoine Dupont and he gets hit off the back of it. It happens, unfortunately.”

t4NXTPH3VwI | https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2025/mar/12/the-beguiled-clint-eastwoods-1971-version-is-a-sweaty-southern-hothouse | # The Beguiled: 1971 Clint Eastwood film is a sweaty, southern hothouse
On paper, Don Siegel’s 1971 southern gothic melodrama The Beguiled appears the perfect candidate for a remake: a critical and commercial failure in its own time, its infamous reputation helped it linger in the margins of popular consciousness. would have thought as much when she directed her own take on Thomas P Cullinan’s source novel in 2017. While Coppola’s version is full of distinct beauty, Siegel’s original stands alone in its unyielding thorniness.
That may have seemed like a career misstep for star upon its initial release but it now stands clearly as one of the most potent subversions of the masculine archetype he helped popularise.
Eastwood plays John McBurney, an unscrupulous corporal fighting for the Union during the waning days of the . Wounded in rural Mississippi, McBurney is found drenched in his own blood by 12-year-old Amy, out picking mushrooms despite the many potential dangers. She takes the wounded McBurney to the seminary where she boards. Soon, his presence both as an enemy soldier and a man throws the ecosystem of the Confederate-sympathising, all-women school into disarray.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/n47_BZ2pj5U?wmode=opaque&feature=oembed" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
McBurney immediately sets to work, smooth-talking his way into the good graces of formidable headmistress Martha Farnsworth (Geraldine Page), naive schoolteacher Edwina (Elizabeth Hartman) and Hallie (Mae Mercer), the enslaved woman forced to do much of the physical labour around the school. Being boarded up inside the school’s music room with a grave injury to his leg does little to dissuade McBurney from imprinting his sexual presence upon both boarders and faculty any which way he can – through charm, manipulation and, ultimately, physical dominance.
It’s a setup that has only grown queasier over time. Eastwood commits to the lurid and the artful in equal measure; his McBurney is both brutish charm and self-serving facetiousness. The bolder McBurney’s lies and manipulations, the more relaxed and convincing he becomes, right up until the mask slips off to reveal raging entitlement underneath.
It’s an all-time scumbag performance. Page too takes southern stereotypes and finds countless flecks of subtlety as the headmistress. But the most stinging member of the ensemble is Mercer, whose portrayal of Hallie heightens the power dynamics at play within the school. McBurney is an anti-slavery Unionist; the camaraderie he initially offers Hallie, missing from her interactions with the other women, is ripped away when she doesn’t comply with his demands. Her character is excised in Coppola’s remake, robbing the material of a terrifyingly frank demonstration of the collision between power, race and gender.

Siegel posits that men have good reason to fear: they are more than deserving of retribution. Photograph: The Malpaso Company/Allstar
To capture these ever-shifting alliances, the camera careens, crawls, corkscrews and swoons, as lithe and pliant as the branches of the willow trees encircling the school. The boarding school – all muslin, white lace and straw hats set amid a forbidding natural landscape – plays like a demented inverse of Picnic At Hanging Rock. In candlelight and shadow, these images feel like a waking nightmare.
Siegel was no stranger to crafting films that condemned the things they seemed to embody. His earlier sci-fi classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers was a political Rorschach test of the McCarthy era – the titular body snatchers construed either as communists or their McCarthyist pursuers, depending on who you talked to. While on one hand The Beguiled seems to channel a genuine chauvinistic fear of the consequences of second-wave feminism’s sexual revolution, Siegel posits that men have good reason to fear: they are more than deserving of retribution.
Revenge, here, isn’t best served cold – but rather hot, sweaty and southern.

The United States has been added to the Civicus Monitor Watchlist, which identifies countries that the global civil rights watchdog believes are currently experiencing a rapid decline in civic freedoms.
, an international non-profit organization dedicated to “strengthening citizen action and civil society around the world”, announced the inclusion of the US on the non-profit’s first watchlist of 2025 on Monday, alongside the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Italy, Pakistan, and Serbia.
The watchlist is part of the Civicus Monitor, which . Other countries on the watchlist in recent years include Zimbabwe, Argentina, El Salvador, and the United Arab Emirates.
Mandeep Tiwana, co-secretary general of Civicus, said that the watchlist “looks at countries where we remain concerned about deteriorating civic space conditions, in relation to freedoms of peaceful assembly, association, and expression.”
The selection process, the website states, incorporates insights and data from Civicus’s global network of research partners and data. The decision to add the US to the first 2025 watchlist was made in response to what the group described as the “Trump administration’s assault on democratic norms and global cooperation.”
In the news release announcing the US’s addition, the organization cited recent actions taken by the Trump administration that they argue will likely “severely impact constitutional freedoms of peaceful assembly, expression, and association.”
The group cited several of the administration’s actions, such as the , the appointment of , the withdrawal from international efforts , and the , the , and the attempted .
The organization warned that these decisions “will likely impact civic freedoms and reverse hard-won human rights gains around the world.”
The group also pointed to the administration’s , and the Trump administration’s unprecedented decision to control media access to presidential briefings, among others.
Civicus described Trump’s actions since taking office as an “unparalleled attack on the rule of law” not seen “since the days of McCarthyism in the twentieth century,” stating that these moves erode the checks and balances essential to democracy.
“Restrictive executive orders, unjustifiable institutional cutbacks, and intimidation tactics through threatening pronouncements by senior officials in the administration are creating an atmosphere to chill democratic dissent, a cherished American ideal,” Tiwana said.
In addition to the watchlist, the Civicus Monitor classifies the state of civic space in countries using : open, narrowed, obstructed, repressed, and closed.
Currently, the US has a “narrowed” rating, which it also had during the Biden administration, meaning that while citizens can exercise their civic freedom, such as rights to association, peaceful assembly, and expression, occasional violations occur.
For part of Trump’s first term, Tiwana said, the US had been categorized as “obstructed,” due to the administration’s response to the protests and , and other actions.

SmHfOEuOg3C | https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/mar/10/if-you-fall-into-the-dialogue-of-the-far-right-the-far-right-wins-spains-deputy-pm-on-the-need-for-workers-rights | Spain’s leftwing deputy prime minister, Yolanda Díaz Pérez, has a message for Labour politicians as the takes its next step to becoming law this week: take heart from our success.
With business groups in the UK issuing dire warnings about the impact of the workers’ rights package, Díaz, the minister of labour and social economy, remembers her own government’s battle when it thrashed out radical labour laws that came into force in 2022. “We went through nine months of hell, literally. We had the press against it, academia, research centres – everybody was saying this was going to contribute to unemployment and not eradicate it,” she recalls.
Instead, the legislation reduced Spanish companies’ use of temporary contracts significantly, without causing unemployment to jump – despite the fact that the minimum wage was increasing sharply over the same period.
“In just six months the impact was immediately positive,” Díaz says, speaking by video link from her Madrid office. “The message that I send to your government, to the unions, to , is that it is worth doing things differently.”
Spain’s unemployment rate has declined, from 14% at the start of 2022 to 11% at the end of last year (though it is still more than twice the level in the UK). The government has also made a positive argument for migration, by contrast with Labour in the UK, which has for running an “open border experiment”.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said in its annual assessment of Spain’s economy for 2024 that “the labour market performance has been exceptionally strong”.
In the UK, Labour’s workers’ rights package – much of which was negotiated with the party’s union backers in opposition – includes a right to a contract with regular hours, a ban on “fire and rehire”, and protection against unfair dismissal from day one of employment.
Like the Spanish reforms, it also strengthens the negotiating power of trade unions, making it easier for them to gain recognition in workplaces, for example.
Labour tabled amendments to the legislation last week, but these broadly strengthened the measures, rather than watering them down, .
Díaz says she has discussed workers’ rights with the UK work and pensions secretary, Liz Kendall, and urged Labour to press ahead – particularly in the face of the threat from the far right, which is being felt across many European countries.
“We need it more than ever. The extreme right is fighting trade unionism and trade negotiation power precisely because it knows how important it is,” she says. She has also discussed the reforms with the TUC’s general secretary, Paul Nowak.
> We need more social budgets, more social rights, more social welfare, more public housing policy, more – and better – employment
>
> Yolanda Díaz Pérez
We need more social budgets, more social rights, more social welfare, more public housing policy, more – and better – employment
Instead, the reforms introduced taxpayer support to safeguard jobs at firms hit by short-term crises. Carmaker Ford used this Erte (temporary employment regulation filing) at its Valencia plant, after last year’s devastating floods.
Díaz, 53, stepped down as leader of her Sumar party last year, after winning , but retained her role as second deputy prime minister in Pedro Sánchez’s coalition.
Sumar holds 31 of the 350 seats in Spain’s congress of deputies. Sánchez, who leads the socialist PSOE party, has governed since 2018, in a succession of coalitions with other leftwing parties.
She was previously a member of parliament in the northern Spanish region of Galicia, where she had her own law practice.
She is now spearheading the next, even more radical phase of Spain’s workers’ rights push – including a cut to the standard working week from 40 hours to 37.5 with no loss of pay, and a new “right to digital disconnection” outside working hours.
“The debate is the same that we have had with the minimum wage and with the labour reform. That is … it will generate unemployment, which is not true. I’m sure it’s not going to be true,” she says.
With Europe preparing to ramp up defence spending to adapt to the dramatic shattering of the postwar transatlantic alliance, Díazinsists this must not come at the expense of social spending.
In the UK, the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, is contemplating cuts to the welfare bill to help meet her self-imposed fiscal rules – and the increase in defence spending to 2.5% already announced will be .
“We’ve got to be very clear here: we cannot oppose social investment … with the cost in defence,” she says. “We need more social budgets than ever, more social rights, more social welfare, more public housing policy, more – and better – employment. The other approach is to fall into the dialogue of the far right, and there the far right wins.”

5k9j4jnlqre | https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/airline-news/2025/03/06/how-many-plane-crashes-safety/80237101007/ | Flying feels riskier. Here’s what the experts say about that high number of accidents.
=======================================================================================
After two high-profile commercial plane crashes at U.S. airlines this year, travelers have left wondering if flying is still safe.
Statistically speaking, it is, but those statistics themselves can be a little confusing.
A cursory glance at numbers from the National Transportation Safety Board will show 67 deaths in commercial plane crashes this year – a huge upward surge after zero deaths last year and very out of line with the 10-year trend in which commercial aviation deaths have generally been measured in the single digits.
However, it’s important to remember that flying remains safe, and there’s context to the number of accidents recorded by aviation professionals.
Despite a recent increase in air accidents, experts reassure travelers that commercial air travel in the U.S. remains exceptionally safe, despite the high number of recorded accidents.
“Fortunately, accidents, especially in the past 25 years have been very rare events in the U.S. air carriers,” Kristy Kiernan, associate director at the Boeing Center for Aviation and Aerospace Safety at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, told USA TODAY. “I spent 12 years flying in the Coast Guard, we would go a year without anything happening at all, and the next year, if we had one, it would be an infinite increase.”
There have been six air carrier accidents logged by the National Transportation Safety Board so far this year. However, not all six involved fatalities, and that number does not include small private aircraft, which typically account for the highest share of overall aviation incidents every year.
Need a break?
Every aviation incident is different
------------------------------------
Airplane accidents are virtually never caused by a single factor, and it’s hard to compare two incidents, so looking at the overall number of accidents each year isn’t always helpful.
These are understandably headline issues. Given the number of people who fly and given the exposure that these incidents get, it’s not surprising that there would be some concern if not alarm about them, Robert W. Mann Jr., a former airline executive officer and current president of R.W. Mann and Co., an independent airline consultancy, told USA TODAY. “The accident rates historically and to this day differ dramatically by the category of flying.”
Aggregate data on airplane incidents often includes private, charter and general aviation as well as the commercial flights that the vast majority of people travel on. So, to get a real understanding of the risks involved in flying, it’s important not to take too broad a view.
“If you’re looking at accident rates and trends, you want to make sure you’re looking at something that reflects the operations you’re interested in. For most people that’s going to say the scheduled air carrier, which is incredibly safe,” Kiernan said. “There are numerous differences from somebody who is an airplane owner and goes out to fly themselves on a Saturday afternoon to when you get on your airplane at JFK. Differences in training requirements, in maintenance requirements.”
Unpacking the data
------------------
The midair collision over the Potomac River in January was the first fatal plane crash of a U.S. airliner since 2009, but that doesn’t mean there have been no commercial aviation-related fatalities in nearly 16 years in the U.S.
In 2013, an Asiana Airlines flight from Seoul crashed short of the runway in San Francisco and three people died.
In 2018, a Southwest Airlines flight suffered an engine malfunction which damaged the fuselage, resulting in an explosive decompression of the cabin that sucked one passenger, Jennifer Riordan, partially out of the aircraft. She died as a result of her injuries.

RyGOwN3yXjb | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/02/starmer-diplomatic-flurry-ukraine-russia-deal-zelenskyy | As Keir Starmer and his aides huddled to discuss their response to Friday’s calamitous White House meeting between Donald Trump and , the prime minister’s team pondered whether to issue a statement on social media.
Already messages of support were flooding in for the Ukrainian president from other European leaders, including and the .
But the prime minister decided to stay silent and instead display his backing with action rather than words. After a series of phone calls on Friday night, Starmer brought forward a planned visit by Zelenskyy to London, giving him the opportunity for a symbolic meeting at Downing Street followed by an audience with King Charles.

1Sha3om_T-V | https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hear-death-threats-republican-senator-received-about-trump | ## Hear the death threats Republican senator received about Trump
### Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., his staff and family have been the target of harassment and death threats, according to a memo released by his office on Thursday afternoon.
Voicemails shared by Tillis' team, which were filled with profanity and fueled by discontent with , reveal a frightening new reality. The senator's senior advisor, Daniel Keylin, said "the volume of threats and harassment directed at members of Congress and their staff is the new normal."
"Yeah, Thom Tillis, afraid of death threats? Then get the f--- out of office," .
Keylin said Tillis' office in Greenville, North Carolina, postmarked in Greensboro last month calling his staff members "sacrificial lambs" and insisting they "signed up to be his shield." The anonymous writer, while reiterating "in no way is this a threat," said people are going to start "coming in filled with rage."
The voicemails released by Tillis' office express outrage over Trump's policies and include violent threats to Tillis and his staff.
"You are not going to destroy my country," one woman said. Another caller told Tillis he is "not one of the good guys anymore" and said to "get the f--- out of government."
"We will not make any apologies for prioritizing the safety and security of our staff," Keylin said.
The memo outlines two more instances in which the North Carolina senator was subject to death threats.
"Senator Tillis, his staff, and even his family have long been subject to threats, harassment, attempted intimidation, and verbal abuse from unstable individuals who don’t agree with his political view," Keylin said.
A U.S. citizen living abroad was arrested for threatening to kill Tillis and cut off the hands of his staffers in 2023, and a Minnesota man was indicted in 2022 for threatening to kill Tillis, the memo confirmed.
Protests have shut down town halls and disrupted local legislative offices in the past two months, and Republicans have opted for tele-town halls instead of in-person town halls as a result. Democrats have accused Republicans of ignoring their constituents' concerns by avoiding in-person town halls.
MoveOn.org, which has accepted millions of dollars from billionaire and his Open Society Policy Center, announced in a last month that it was mobilizing resources as part of a "Congress Works for Us, Not Musk" initiative "aimed at pressuring lawmakers to fight back against the Trump-Musk agenda." The group planned protests at congressional-led town halls and congressional offices.

#### "Jesse Watters Primetime" producer Johnny Belisario asks Senator Corey Booker, D-N.J., about President Donald Trump's joint address to Congress.
Democratic lawmakers faced criticism this week for their behavior during address to a joint session of Congress. Their protests, refusal to clap at key moments, and subsequent comments drew criticism from Republicans and from some in their own party.
"Jesse Watters Primetime" producer Johnny Belisario traveled to Capitol Hill to track down Democratic lawmakers and ask why they refused to stand and clap for the nonpartisan moments in the address.
"You didn't stand up for anything," Belisario noted to New Jersey Senator Cory Booker.
The president got before the American people and didn’t talk about how he could drive down grocery prices," Booker responded.

Other Democratic lawmakers expressed frustration that Trump failed to address issues they felt were important.
When asked why she didn’t applaud for certain guests at the speech, including the mother of slain Georgia nursing student , Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren refused to answer.
"I did clap, when he said that the United States has supported Ukraine," Warren said.
However, when pressed on why she did not clap for Riley’s mother, she declined to respond.
#### "Jesse Watters Primetime" producer Jonny Belisario asks Senator Adam Schiff, D-Calif., about President Donald Trump's joint address to Congress.
Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman acknowledged that some Democratic protests during the speech may not have been well-received.
"I don’t think that was the best look for our party last night," he admitted.
In addition to vocal protests, some Democrats engaged in more subtle forms of dissent during the speech. Lawmakers held up paddles with messages criticizing Trump’s policies, including signs reading "Save Medicaid" and "Musk Steals."
Even late-night host , whose show often aligns with liberal viewpoints, mocked the paddle protest, holding up his own sign that read, "Try doing something."
#### "Jesse Watters Primetime" producer Jonny Belisario asks Senator Adam Schiff, D-Calif., about President Donald Trump's joint address to Congress.
California Rep. Adam Schiff dismissed the president’s speech entirely, declining to comment on the lack of applause for Riley's mother.
"There was nothing the president had to say that was either factual or truthful," Schiff said.
Meanwhile, a found that 76% of viewers, who were primarily Republican, approved of Trump’s speech, citing his focus on reducing government waste, imposing tariffs, and securing the border.
When asked about the survey results, Schiff remained skeptical.
"I don’t know what speech they were watching…it really wasn’t worth watching," he said.
Belisario tracked down Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., as she walked to an elevator.
"You need to get away from me," the congresswoman told him, as the door shut.

Texas Congressman Al Green was removed from the chamber following an outburst on the House floor. His actions led to a censure , with 10 Democrats joining Republicans to vote for the punishment.
Belisario went to Green's office, but said he was "shooed away" by staff. He also could not locate Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., but added a note to her office door.
Beyond vocal protests, some Democrats engaged in more subtle forms of dissent during the speech. Lawmakers held up paddles with messages criticizing Trump’s policies, including signs reading "Save Medicaid" and "Musk Steals."

3YtIiL8GWgK | https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czxnwrqey4go | # Syrian security forces accused of killing dozens of Alawites
## Main Content
Syrian security forces are alleged to have executed dozens of people belonging to the Alawite minority in the coastal province of Latakia, according to a war monitoring group.
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said 162 civilians have been killed in "field executions" in the region - a heartland of deposed president Bashar al-Assad, who also belongs to the Alawite sect.
An interior ministry source told the country's official news agency Sana that "individual violations" had occurred on the coast and pledged to put a stop to them.
BBC News has not been able to verify claims that the killings were committed by the forces of Syria's new rulers.
The total killed includes 13 women and five children, the SOHR told the AFP news agency.
Syria's new rulers, who ousted Assad in December, said a military operation is now being launched in the former president's home town of Qardaha.
In his first statement since the violence broke out, the country's interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa said Syria would pursue the "remnants" of the ousted Assad regime and bring them to trial, Reuters reports.
This follows clashes , which left more than 70 dead.
A curfew has been imposed in the cities of Homs, Latakia and Tartous, where the fighting has broken out, and the governor of Latakia has said all power to the province has been cut.
Earlier, BBC Verify confirmed two videos that showed a body being dragged behind a car in Latakia.
The violence has left the Alawite community in "a state of horror", a Syrian activist in the city told BBC Newshour.
"They are feeling so fearful. They are in a state of shock," said the activist, who did not want to use his name for fear of reprisals.
"They don't know what to do. There is no government or state who is ready to help them, to protect them," he added.
The United Nations special envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, said in a statement he was "deeply concerned" by reports of the clashes and killings.
He called on all parties to "refrain from actions that could further inflame tensions, escalate conflict, exacerbate the suffering of affected communities, destabilize Syria, and jeopardize a credible and inclusive political transition."
The region is the heartland of the Alawite minority and a stronghold of the Assad family, which belongs to the sect.
Estimations of the number of people killed in the violence vary, and the BBC has been unable to independently verify them.
Residents say they have been targets of sectarian violence, with one Alawite woman telling BBC Arabic that many Syrians are "scared" regardless of if they were on the coast or in the capital.
She added that "everyone is terrified from the current incitement," and fears they will become "scapegoats."
Turkey and Russia have warned that the bloodshed, the worst since the toppling of Assad in December, threatens the stability of the entire region. Germany has urged Syria to avoid a "spiral of violence" after the clashes.
Alawites, whose sect is an offshoot of Shia Islam, make up around 10% of Syria's population, which is majority Sunni.

**DESIGNATING ENGLISH AS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE:** Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order designating English as the official language of the United States.
- The Order rescinds a Clinton-era mandate that required agencies and recipients of federal funding to provide extensive language assistance to non-English speakers.
- This designation specifically allows agencies to keep current policies and provide documents and services in other languages, but encourages new Americans to adopt a national language that opens doors to greater opportunities.
- Agencies will have flexibility to decide how and when to offer services in languages other than English to best serve the American people and fulfill their agency mission.
**UNIFYING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE:** It is long past time English is recognized as the official language of the United States.
- Since our nation’s founding, English has been the language of our nation, with historic documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution written in English.
- A national language strengthens the fabric of our society, empowering citizens old and new.
- While over 350 languages are spoken in the United States, English remains the most widely used across the country.
- Roughly 180 countries have an official language – the United States is one of the few nations in the world to have no official language designated.
- More than 30 states and five U.S. territories have already embraced English as the official language.
- Establishing English as the official language promotes unity, establishes efficiency in government operations, and creates a pathway for civic engagement.
- This Order celebrates multilingual Americans who have learned English and passed it down, while empowering immigrants to achieve the American Dream through a common language.
**PROMISES KEPT:** President Trump has long championed the idea that English should be the official language of the United States.
- With this Executive Order, President Trump affirms that a common language fosters national cohesion, helps newcomers engage in communities and traditions, and enriches our shared culture.

lhIV_I_AIhg | https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/mar/01/deebo-samuel-trade-washington-san-francisco | # Commanders reportedly land wideout Deebo Samuel in trade with 49ers
The have acquired wide receiver Deebo Samuel from the San Francisco 49ers for a fifth-round pick, pending a physical, according to a person with knowledge of the trade.
The person spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade cannot be official until the start of the new league year on 12 Match.
Samuel, who turned 29 last month, gives the Commanders another playmaker to pair with Terry McLaurin for reigning rookie of the year quarterback Jayden Daniels going into his second season. Samuel had 51 catches for 670 yards and three touchdowns last season with the 49ers.
Washington reached the NFC championship game before losing to the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. General manager Adam Peters went into the offseason with the third-most salary cap space to use among 32 teams.
Some of that is going to Samuel, who in 2022 signed a three-year extension that goes through next season. The South Carolina product has 334 receptions for 4,792 yards and 22 TDs since making his debut for the 49ers.
The 49ers last month gave Samuel and his agent permission to seek a trade after he requested a move in a season-ending meeting with coach Kyle Shanahan.
San Francisco entertained offers for Samuel last offseason but didn’t have any good enough to make a trade. General manager John Lynch said after the season that the Niners weren’t looking to trade Samuel, who was an All-Pro in 2021 before his production dropped off.
With Washington, Samuel immediately becomes the No 2 wideout alongside McLaurin, who is coming off his fifth 1,000-yard season in a row.

## Schumer said, 'For Donald Trump, a shutdown would be a gift'
By , , , and Megan Tome
Published March 13, 2025 6:58pm EDT | Updated March 13, 2025 7:08pm EDT
Senate Minority Leader D-N.Y., says he will vote to keep the government open, warning that a shutdown has worse consequences for Americans and would only empower President Donald Trump and Elon Musk further.
"I believe it is my job to make the best choice for the country to minimize the harms to the American people. Therefore, I will vote to keep the government open and not shut it down," Schumer said while speaking on the Senate floor on Thursday.
According to him, the Democrats' message is that "they're hurting the middle class to give tax breaks for the billionaires."
If a spending bill is not passed by 11:59 on Friday, the government will officially enter a shutdown.
Fetterman claimed that allowing that to happen would be 'a gift for the Republicans.'
In fact, if anything, I think, they're effectively daring us to do that," he said.

mMHN595cbfM | https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/mar/11/the-rest-of-our-lives-by-ben-markovits-review | # The Rest of Our Lives by Ben Markovits review – a triumphant twist on the great American road novel
Ben Markovits’s 12th novel opens with a confession. Its narrator, Tom Layward, a law professor, husband and father, tells us: “When our son was 12 years old, my wife had an affair…” Tom makes a private pact to endure his marriage only until their six-year-old daughter, Miriam, leaves for college. It is a quiet, bitter calculus, the sort of grimly rationalised fatalism that pervades the book. “What we obviously had, even when things smoothed over, was a C-minus marriage,” Tom reflects, “which makes it pretty hard to score much higher than a B overall on the rest of your life.” Markovits is an artist of such scorching recognitions – wry, unsentimental summations that make you wince at their truth.
Then, with the turn of a paragraph, 12 years evaporate. Miriam is 18, the family is summering at her mother’s parents’ house in Cape Cod, and Tom’s long-planned departure hangs over the novel like an unbroken storm. Markovits is superb at conjuring the temperature of a failing marriage – not through eruptions, but through the long accumulation of slights, hesitations and rehearsed hostilities. Tom’s wife, Amy, is masterfully drawn: brittle, commanding, a woman who has long since learned the tactical advantages of exasperation. The novel’s brilliance lies in how it refuses to reduce her to an antagonist – because, of course, Tom is just as complicit.
With all of this in the air, he and Miriam set off to drive her to college in Pittsburgh. After dropping her, and seemingly on a whim, Tom just keeps on driving. His ostensible destination is California, where his son, Michael, is studying, but the journey is less a road trip than an act of attrition. He drifts through the wreckage of his past, stopping to visit old lovers, old friends, a brother, a business associate who ropes him into yet another consulting job in the ongoing ideological skirmishes of the NBA. If the great American road novel has traditionally been a narrative of youth – of possibility, of the US as something to be sought – then _The Rest of Our Lives_ is its weary, middle-aged inversion. Tom is not discovering the US; he is retreating into it, moving not toward freedom but toward the inescapability of consequence.
Hemingway said he wrote best about Michigan when he was in Paris. Markovits, too, has spent much of his life outside the US – he played professional basketball in Germany, and now teaches at Royal Holloway, University of London – but remains one of the most astute novelists of modern America. _The Rest of Our Lives_ is another quiet triumph, an elegant, devastating book that lays bare the way time calcifies our failures, how we find ourselves trapped not by circumstance but by the slow erosion of the will to escape. Markovits has long been one of our most under-appreciated novelists; this is yet more proof that he deserves far greater recognition.
_The Rest of Our Lives_ by Ben Markovits is published by Faber (£16.99). To support the _Guardian_ and _Observer_ order your copy at . Delivery charges may apply.

Kristi Noem, the DHS secretary, announced the new version, raising privacy concerns for those using CBP One
Mon 10 Mar 2025 19.45 EDT
Last modified on Tue 11 Mar 2025 12.27 EDT
On day one of his presidency, issued a directive abruptly – an online application that had served as the primary means for people at the southern border to apply for asylum in the US. On Monday, the announced it has reimagined the app as a platform for “self-deportation”.
, the secretary of Homeland Security, announced that the app had been rebranded as “CBP Home” and that anyone with the old CBP One app would be redirected to the new version.
“The CBP Home app gives aliens the option to leave now and self-deport, so they may still have the opportunity to return legally in the future and live the American dream,” Noem said. “If they don’t, we will find them, we will deport them, and they will never return.”
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that the app’s “self-deportation functionality is part of a larger $200m domestic and international ” which they said it a way to encourage undocumented immigrants to ‘Stay Out and Leave Now’.”
> Illegal aliens can self-deport the easy way.
> Or they can get deported the hard way.
> The good news is that the re-branded CPB Home app makes self-deporting simpler than ever. 👇
>
> — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47)
It’s unclear who would actually use the new CBP Home app to “self-deport”. The phrase has long been used to describe the idea that life in the US can be made so unbearable for immigrants that they will choose to leave voluntarily.
“Immigrant community members should be wary of any promises made by those encouraging them to ‘self-deport’ and instead carefully examine their legal options with trusted advisers,” said Laura Rivera, a senior staff attorney at Just Futures Law. “This move reflects Trump’s cynical strategy to flood the zone with messaging that creates fear among immigrant communities while currying favor with his base.”
The app’s relaunch also raises privacy concerns, Rivera said. Experts had long warned that the original CBP One app, which collected biometric data and photos, had allowed for a massive expansion of government databases of noncitizens’ photos and other biographic information.
The rebranding of the app “is also a chilling example of how easily tools like CBP One, which collected photos and other sensitive personal information, can be weaponized to surveil and punish”, Rivera said.
Trump had built his presidential campaign on a promise of “mass deportations” of undocumented immigrants. His administration has already moved to cancel several legal pathways for immigrants to enter the US, categorically banning asylum at the US borders, terminating private sponsorship programs that allowed Americans to financially support certain people seeking to immigrate and suspending the US’s refugee resettlement program.
When the administration cancelled the CBP One app, about waiting in Mexico with scheduled appointments with US immigration officials lost them, and were left in limbo. The app was launched by the Trump administration during Trump’s first term, as a way to arrange a number of immigration services.
In 2023, Joe Biden’s administration expanded the app’s use. Seeking to limit the arrival of asylum seekers at the border, Biden made it all but mandatory to use the app to schedule appointments to make a claim for asylum – and allowed just 1,450 appointments a day, even though thousands more were arriving at the border daily.
Human rights groups and immigration lawyers had criticized the app, pointing to glitches, language issues and racial biases in its features. Forcing migrants to use the app and wait in Mexico for appointments with immigration officials had the effect of stranding vulnerable groups in Mexico and enriching organized crime groups, a (HRW) found. But Trump and his allies had characterized the app as too permissive, conversely – and falsely – claiming it fast-tracked entry into the US, and promised to end the system.

pa7pztu99mP | https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyj0ve33x1o | # SNP MP calls for Trump state visit to be scrapped
**1 March 2025**
**By: Mary McCool, BBC Scotland News**
An SNP MP has said that Donald Trump's second state visit to the UK cannot go ahead if he refuses to show further support for Ukraine.
Trump accused Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky of "gambling with World War Three" during a fiery showdown at the White House on Friday.
It came the day after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer used his US visit to present Trump with a letter from the King, offering an initial meeting in Scotland to discuss the unprecedented second visit.
Stephen Gethins, the SNP's foreign affairs spokesperson, called Trump's behaviour towards Zelensky "grotesque" and said it amounted to "bullying".
Speaking to BBC News, he said: "I'd describe last night's performance as bullying, as a bigger country ganging up on a small country that is struggling for its very survival.
"The UK has left itself in an utterly isolated position. We need to get closer to our European partners and allies.
"Right now, given that treatment of one of our allies in Ukraine, I do not see how a state visit could possibly go ahead. We've had a bit of silence from the prime minister so far and that's extremely disappointing."
Mr Gethins' call was echoed by SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn who posted on X that the prime minister "better get back up off his knees and revoke that offer of a state visit".
Zelensky arrived in London earlier and outside Downing Street.
Starmer reiterated the UK's support for Ukraine, saying "we stand with Ukraine for as long as it may take" and spoke of "unwavering determination" to achieve a lasting peace for Ukraine.
Zelensky thanked Starmer for his support, and thanked King Charles III for accepting a meeting with him on Sunday - the same day he will take part in a summit with European leaders.
Three years on, the war continues in Ukraine, with .
Zelensky had hoped for positive talks with Trump during his visit, including the signing of a minerals deal which would give the US a real stake in his country's future, if not an outright security guarantee.
Instead he faced an extraordinary dressing down in front of the world's media, with Trump and his Vice-President JD Vance demanding that he show more gratitude for years of US support.
The Ukrainian president pushed back at suggestions from his more powerful partners that he should work harder to agree a ceasefire with Vladimir Putin. They responded that he was being "disrespectful".
After his departure, Zelensky said Ukraine is "ready to sign the minerals agreement" but continued his call for US security guarantees.
The exchange prompted a series of responses from European leaders with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz among those reiterating their support for Ukraine.
Posting on X on Friday, First Minister John Swinney said: "Today's events in Washington are a clear cause for deep concern, for shock, for anger.
"What we need now are cool heads and clear thinking. We must stand firm with our European allies in the steadfast defence of Ukraine. That is where Scotland stands."
Scottish Conservative MP Andrew Bowie, who is shadow secretary of state for Scotland, said the White House exchange was a "sad and depressing spectacle".
On X, he added: "In the face of unprovoked Russian aggression and in the third year of a war to save his country, Vlodomyr Zelensky has been a symbol of calm strength and determination.
"Today his restraint was incredible. We stand with him and Ukraine."

oqXCUW7JgZ- | https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/mar/05/half-of-worlds-co2-emissions-come-from-36-fossil-fuel-firms-study-shows | # Half of world’s CO2 emissions come from 36 fossil fuel firms, study shows
Researchers say data strengthens case for holding firms to account for their contribution to climate crisis
Half of the world’s climate-heating carbon emissions come from the fossil fuels produced by just 36 companies, analysis has revealed.
The researchers said the 2023 data strengthened the case for holding fossil fuel companies to account for their contribution to global heating. Previous versions of the annual report have been used in legal cases against companies and investors.
The report found that the 36 major fossil fuel companies, including Saudi Aramco, Coal India, ExxonMobil, Shell and numerous Chinese companies, produced coal, oil and gas responsible for more than 20bn tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2023.
If Saudi Aramco was a country, it would be the fourth biggest polluter in the world after China, the US and India, while ExxonMobil is responsible for about the same emissions as Germany, the world’s ninth biggest polluter, according to the data.
Global emissions must fall by 45% by 2030 if the world is to have a good chance of limiting temperature rise to 1.5C, the internationally agreed target. However, emissions are still rising, supercharging the extreme weather that is taking lives and livelihoods across the planet.
The International Energy Agency has said new fossil fuel projects started after 2021 are incompatible with reaching net zero emissions by 2050. Most of the 169 companies in the Carbon Majors database increased their emissions in 2023, which was the hottest year on record at the time.
“These companies are keeping the world hooked on fossil fuels with no plans to slow production,” said Christiana Figueres, the UN’s climate chief when the landmark 2015 Paris agreement was delivered. “The science is clear: we cannot move backwards to more fossil fuels and more extraction. Instead, we must move forward to the many possibilities of a decarbonised economic system that works for people and the planet.”
Emmett Connaire, at InfluenceMap, the thinktank that produced the Carbon Majors report, said: “Despite global climate commitments, a small group of the world’s largest fossil fuel producers are significantly increasing production and emissions. The research highlights the disproportionate impact these companies have on the climate crisis and supports efforts to enforce corporate responsibility.”
A spokesperson for Shell said: “Shell is committed to becoming a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050. Our investments in new technologies are helping to reduce emissions for Shell and our customers.” Saudi Aramco declined to comment. Coal India, ExxonMobil, Chevron, TotalEnergies and BP did not respond to requests for comment.
The Carbon Majors data has been used as evidence supporting laws passed in New York and Vermont states in the US, which seek compensation from fossil fuel companies for climate damages. The data has also been cited by legal groups as support for potential criminal charges against fossil fuel executives and referenced in regulatory actions, such as ClientEarth’s complaint against BlackRock for misleading investors.
The calculates the emissions released by the burning of the coal, oil and gas produced by 169 major companies in 2023. The database also includes emissions from the production of cement, which rose by 6.5% in 2023.
The 36 companies responsible for half of global emissions in 2023 includes state-owned companies such as China Energy, the National Iranian Oil Company, Russia’s Gazprom and the UAE’s Adnoc. Shareholder-owned companies in that group include Petrobras, headquartered in Brazil, and Eni, from Italy.
The 36 companies are dominated by state-owned enterprises, of which there are 25. Ten of these are in China, the world’s biggest polluting country. Coal was the source of 41% of the emissions counted in 2023, oil 32%, gas 23% and cement 4%.
The Carbon Majors dataset also includes historical emissions from 1854 to 2023. It shows that two-thirds of carbon emissions from fossil fuels since the Industrial Revolution are from 180 companies, 11 of which no longer exist.
Kumi Naidoo, the president of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, said: “We are living at a critical moment in human history. It is essential that governments step up and use their authority to end the root cause of the crisis we find ourselves in: the expansion of fossil fuels.”

In his seven years as Bank of England governor, Carney was charming and self-confident but had a volcanic temper
## Introduction
Mark Carney arrived in the UK with a reputation as the rock star central banker and was quite the contrast with his predecessor King. Carney quickly became something of a celebrity. That was not really for what he did but for how he looked.
## Content
When Carney was appointed by the then chancellor, George Osborne, it was pre-Brexit, pre-Trump, pre-Covid and pre-Ukraine war. A liberal globaliser, Barack Obama, was president of the US, and a liberal globaliser, David Cameron, was prime minister of the UK. Times have changed.
In 2025, liberal globalisers are far thinner on the ground and those that remain now talk the language of populists. The Carney I knew was a smart man who worked ferociously hard, but had a central banker's caution when it came to public statements. His answers to questions often went on for several minutes, making them pretty much unquotable, as I found out the first time I interviewed him. Given a 30-minute slot, I realised after 25 minutes that he had said nothing that would remotely make a news story. The new governor’s views about the UK housing market eventually did the trick in the nick of time.
The verbal obfuscation was quite deliberate and Carney could deliver a crisp soundbite when he thought the moment warranted it. The classic example of that came on the morning of 24 June 2016 – the day after the UK’s Brexit referendum. Britain had voted to leave the EU, Cameron had announced he was stepping down as prime minister, and the pound was in freefall.
Carney thought Brexit a bad idea but knew that at that moment the markets needed reassurance. Standing behind a lectern at the Bank of England, he duly provided it. Showing he can keep a calm head in a crisis should stand him in good stead in his new job.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Britain prepares for another election, it is facing a difficult decision on how to deal with its military and the British people. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing the prospect of a revolution in his own party as he is considering a route of less than full-scale war against Russia.
Starmer said that the British people would be "acting in the same way as Americans" when it comes to the war against Russia, adding that "it would be the same sacrifice of British people as American people, and that is the sacrifice of the British people."
Speaking to the BBC, Starmer said that Britain is "still taking the same approach as the United States" and that it is "still the same sacrifice of the British people as American people."
Starmer has said that he is considering other options, including a small-scale war, and that he is currently "working on what that would look like. I have not made a decision yet."
His comments follow a report that a group of his cabinet members have invited the United States to propose a small-scale war against Russia, a move that would have sparked huge controversy in Europe. Starmer said that this would be a "major change for Britain," and that it is "perhaps a change for the American people as well."
Starmer said that he was "thinking about what that would look like" and that he was "currently working on what that would look like."
He said that he was "working on the next steps."
Starmer said that he was also considering "what the next steps would be" in relation to the war with Ukraine.
Starmer proposed the war to the European media, saying that it would be "a public good for the world". He said that his government would be "beset by criticism for not being prepared for the war, rather than being prepared for the war."
Starmer said that the war had enabled the UK to "force the US to do the right thing."
He said that he would be "looking at what the next steps would be, and what to do to defend our people and our country."
Starmer called the war "a great success" for Britain. He said the war had enabled the country to "force the US to do the right thing."
The majority of people in the UK support the war, though there are also concerns about the cost and the risk to the environment. Starmer said that he was "working on what the next steps would be, and what to do to defend our people and our country."

In Guardian Australia’s weekly interview about travel, the actor makes a compelling case for always packing a Frisbee, and reveals what he looks for in a holiday buddy.
## What makes an excellent travel companion?
Someone who can happily look at a snow-capped peak and say: “It’d be ridiculous to try and climb that. Let’s find a pub with a really good view of it.”
## My earliest childhood holiday memory is …
Being squished into the very back of the station wagon with the dog, both looking out the rear window at where we’d been, while the other six family members sat in actual seats watching where we were going – which was invariably the Yarrawonga caravan park. None of us were wearing seatbelts.
## Describe your most memorable travel meal – good, terrible or out there.
In Petra, Jordan, a friend told me I “simply must try the qalayet bandora”. It was a simple dish of tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, olive oil and salt. It tasted OK – nice and spicy – but I remembered it for five days as I stood over squat latrines making guttural, unholy outbursts. I think at one point I may have even started speaking in tongues.
## What’s the most relaxing place you’ve ever visited?
Dahab, Egypt, May 2000. Shisha pipes and cushions as far as the eye could see. Ahhhh.
## And the most stressful?
Cairo, Egypt, May 2000. Rip-off merchants and dodgy South African backpackers as far as the eye could see. Ughhh.
## What’s one item you always put in your suitcase?
A Frisbee, 165 grams. You never know when you might need a Frisbee. It can double as a plate, a peace offering or an icebreaker. But it also works just fine as a Frisbee.
## What’s your strategy for enduring long-haul flights?
Getting over yourself and realising there’s no more first-world a problem than someone banging on about how long and arduous their flight was.
## What’s your biggest travel regret?
Going to Pisa and not seeing the Leaning Tower. Our car broke down on the edge of the city and we had to catch a plane that afternoon. We had a choice: catch the flight or miss the tower. (I was travelling with my wife, whom I’d assured I’d checked the water and the oil in the car, but seriously – who checks the water and the oil in a rental?)
A quick game of rock, paper, scissors later, I reluctantly agreed it’s just a tower that clearly wasn’t built to code. And I learned a valuable lesson: never choose scissors in Pisa.

When Bear stopped dead in his tracks, his nose turned towards some undergrowth, it was clear something was wrong. It was November last year – Bear’s 12th birthday, and his first proper walk after weeks of taking it easy while he recovered from serious surgery. The South Downs stretched before us. The sun had set and the temperature was dropping.
Bear is a retired police dog – a huge, 48kg German shepherd. He entered the force as a puppy, then spent six years in active service, working alongside firearms units as well as tracking suspects and missing people.
He retired in March 2020. There’s no set timetable for when police dogs stop working, but they will often let you know they’ve had enough. It’s intense work: very physical, often at night, in dangerous environments. His handler couldn’t keep him, so Bear came to live with me and my husband – both retired police officers ourselves – for a well-earned rest.
In his career, Bear faced physical challenges, which caught up with him after retirement. In August 2023, he suddenly lost the use of his back legs. Scans revealed four herniated discs in his spine, which required surgery. It was touch and go, but his resilience amazed us.
He underwent weeks of physiotherapy and still moves with a slight wobble. Bear’s surgeries were expensive, but luckily, a great charity that supports retired police dogs stepped in to help.
Then, in late 2023, Bear developed testicular tumours. We braced for the worst, but they were benign. It still meant more major precautionary surgery, so by November 2024, he still hadn’t been farther than the garden for weeks. But, for a birthday treat, we decided we’d take him for a walk.
We took him without our other dog, so that Bear could go at his own pace. It’s quite exposed along the Sussex Way, a path with dense areas of woodland and undergrowth. We reached the top and admired the view, but it was getting dark and cold.
As we came back down the track, we debated whether we should go straight back to the car, or give it another 10 minutes. Bear was enjoying himself, so we carried on.
It was along that path that Bear suddenly stopped dead in front of us. He stepped backwards, completely focused on a spot in front of him, then dragged me towards the undergrowth. Cautiously, I entered a patch of dense brambles, wondering what I was about to find. There were no noises or indication that anything was amiss. I wondered if Bear had made a mistake.
Then I saw an older man on the ground. He couldn’t get up and seemed to be in distress. He had a few scratches on him and was confused and cold, but he could talk and made it clear he was very happy to see us. He told us he’d gone for a walk and got lost, then tripped over and couldn’t get up.
I called the police and coordinated a meeting point. It was a struggle to get him up – I wasn’t sure if he was badly hurt. We supported him as we walked to the nearest car park, Bear leading the way. It was dark and cold – just 2C. If Bear hadn’t found him, it’s unlikely he would have survived the night.
It transpired that the man had been missing for hours. He lived locally and his family had reported it when he hadn’t come home. Officers had deployed drones and a helicopter, and conducted foot searches, but the terrain was difficult, so he hadn’t been found. Without Bear’s instincts, we would have walked straight past him.

When we reached the car park, the officers were already there, as was one of the man’s relatives, who rushed to meet him. Before climbing into the car, the man turned back to thank us one more time. Bear, however, was unfazed. Once he’d done his bit, he lay down for a belly rub.
That night, Bear enjoyed a birthday steak, although he had to share it with our other dog, Koda.
Today, Bear’s retirement is about living his best life. He loves walks, lounging in bed and snuggling up to watch breakfast TV.
I wonder what he might say if he could talk. I’m sure he’d brush off his birthday heroics, saying, “I was just doing my job.” He didn’t choose to be a police dog, but he gave his all to the role.

US president’s comments come after Ukrainian counterpart said he believed ‘strong steps’ were under consideration

## Trump hints at financial repercussions if Russia rejects Ukraine ceasefire
US president’s comments come after Ukrainian counterpart said he believed ‘strong steps’ were under consideration.
Donald Trump has suggested he could target Russia financially as Ukraine’s president urged him to take strong steps if Moscow failed to support a 30-day ceasefire agreed at a in Saudi Arabia.
The president’s threat came as the French defence minister, Sébastien Lecornu, told a press conference in Paris that a ceasefire announcement could come as soon as Thursday and that 15 countries were willing to contribute to a force of up to 30,000 personnel that would secure Ukraine’s airports, ports, and infrastructure on a permanent basis.
However, the ministers emphasised they still wanted the US to provide a backstop guarantee to support peacekeepers, and hinted that the minerals deal due to be signed by the US and Ukraine would be insufficient.
John Healey, the UK defence secretary, stressed that the UK wanted “the US to play a part in the reassurance force”. When asked whether a minerals deal could amount to a security guarantee for Ukraine, he said it was “a step towards a process where we get a ceasefire”, implying it was not necessarily sufficient.
Late on Wednesday, Russian state television showed Putin making his first visit to the Kursk region, where Ukraine launched a surprise incursion last year.

Dressed in military camouflage, the Russian president expressed hope his army was on the brink of “fully liberating” the territory, and told senior commanders that Ukrainian soldiers captured in Kursk should be treated as terrorists.
“**I am counting on the fact that all the combat tasks facing our units will be fulfilled, and the territory of the Kursk region will soon be completely liberated from the enemy,”** he said. On Wednesday, Russian forces entered the central square of Sudzha, the largest Russian settlement controlled by Ukraine.
Minutes after footage of Putin’s remarks aired on Russian state TV, the commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, suggested his troops were pulling back to minimise losses.
Zelenskyy also appeared to hint at an organised withdrawal in his comments on Wednesday. “**The military command is doing what it should do – saving the maximum number of lives of our soldiers,**” he said.
Last month, , Zelenskyy said Ukraine hoped to swap the territory it held in Kursk region for areas of Ukraine occupied by Russia.

PZrQdRxSm3e | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/01/media-politicians-react-trump-zelenskyy | # 'Bewildering': US media and politicians react to Trump’s televised attack on Zelenskyy
The showdown between the US president and the Ukrainian leader dumbfounded various outlets and politicians.
## Background
One television star turned president visits another far more powerful one on a stage set and attempts to introduce a plot twist of sorts. What could go wrong?
The high-stakes that unfolded on Friday after the Ukrainian president, , demanded US security guarantees was deemed a damaging setback to 's goal of forging a peace deal – and a win for Russian dictator – by some US political commentators.
The outlet warned that “turning over to Mr Putin would be catastrophic for that country and Europe, but it would be a political calamity for Mr Trump too.”
“Friday’s spectacle won’t make any more willing to stop his onslaught” after invading Ukraine in 2022.
The New York Times assessed that the derailed Oval Office meeting pointed to Trump’s “determination to scrap America’s traditional sources of power – its alliances among like-minded democracies – and return the country to an era of raw great-power negotiations.”
“The three-year wartime partnership between Washington and Kyiv was shattered,” the paper added.
Some conservative political figures also hit out at their fellow Republicans Trump and Vance for their handling over the meeting. “I hate to say this … but the United States right now is not the good guys in this,” said Adam Kinzinger, the former Republican congressman from Illinois who once served on a House committee that investigated Trump supporters’ attack on the US Capitol in early 2021.
Whether diplomatic relations between Ukraine and the US can be repaired remained an open question Saturday. But the dispute points to the dangers of conducting diplomacy in public, despite the assessment from Trump – a former reality-TV host – that the clash with his Ukrainian counterpart, an ex-actor, made “great television.”
“It is going to be incredibly hard to walk back from the kind of animosity we saw in that room today and to walk back some of those statements,” Republican strategist Karl Rove told Fox News. “It could have been done if cameras had not been running, but the only winner out of today is Vladimir Putin.”
The US treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, revealed after the showdown that his meeting with Zelenskyy in Kviv days earlier resulted in a heated exchange, too. After Friday’s meltdown, Bessent Zelenskyy’s approach “one of the great diplomatic own goals in history”.
“Clearly it very difficult to do an economic deal with a leader that doesn’t want to do a peace deal,” Bessent told Bloomberg.
“I’m not sure what he was thinking,” Bessent said of Zelenskyy, who was ultimately asked to leave the White House by the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, after Ukrainian diplomatic aides texted that they were prepared to sign the agreed economic rare earth minerals deal.
The White House deputy chief of staff for policy, Stephen Miller, called out what he termed Zelenskyy’s “impertinence” and described the showdown as “one of the great moments in the history of American diplomacy”.
“Millions of American hearts swelled with overflowing pride today to watch President Trump put Zelenskyy in his place,” Miller said, without elaborating on what public opinion information he had to justify that belief.
: “For a former comedian used to the cameras, it was strange that Zelensky got the script wrong.” Agawal noted that Trump had been testing the boundaries of press attention all week with “freewheeling” discussions in front of the world’s cameras.
Such commentary came as Fox News host Bret Baier asked Zelenskyy whether he wanted to apologize to Trump, to which the Ukraine president said: “I’m not sure we did something bad.”
“I respect president and I respect American people, and … I think that we have to be very open and very honest,” Zelenskyy told Baier.
But arriving in London on Saturday ahead of a summit of British and European leaders, Zelenskyy thanked the US and its leadership while voicing hope for strong relations. “We want only strong relations with America, and I really hope we will have them,” he said.
European leaders have stood behind Zelenskyy, with the German president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, saying he “would never have believed that we would one day have to protect Ukraine from the USA”.
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, said if someone is gambling with the third world war – as Trump accused Zelenskyy of doing on Friday – it was not Zelenskyy.
“If anyone is gambling with World War III, his name is Vladimir Putin,” said Macron, after Trump complained that Zelenskyy had been overly negative about the Russian dictator.

H9lDY-pZADd | https://www.foxnews.com/media/gingrich-warns-very-dangerous-consequences-democrats-ramp-up-resistance-trump-musk | Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said on "Hannity" that Democrats are in a rage and offering "no solutions," dismissing a claim by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., that Republicans are "on the run." Gingrich said the left is resorting to extreme tactics in an effort to resist and oppose Elon Musk's efforts to cut government spending.

_What I saw the other night … the House Democrats were sort of zombie Democrats. They couldn't applaud anything. They couldn't applaud the president. They couldn't applaud a . They couldn't applaud a young man who wanted to go to West Point. They couldn't applaud people who were there who had lost loved ones. It was pretty bizarre. And I think that, you know, Hakeem Jeffries may think he has to say these things. He's their leader. What's he going to say? But the fact is, the Democrats currently have no solutions. They are so enraged that Trump is actually changing what, overwhelmingly, Americans believe is a corrupt system. I'll just give you one piece of data. Our America's New Majority project just had a poll come out yesterday. 82% of the American people believe the system is corrupt. Now that's dangerous. Both for the survival of freedom. But also it tells you the fact that the Democrats, who want to defend the bureaucracy and the corruption and the waste, they're going to have a big mountain to climb come 2026._

Gingrich went on to recall that when he was House speaker in 1996, he and other Republicans applauded then-President Bill Clinton.
**GINGRICH:** _Look, I had the opposite experience. I was the speaker of the House, sitting behind Bill Clinton when he got up in '96 and said, the era of big government is over. Now, I had to stand up and applaud. I mean, how can you not applaud that if you're conservative? You're right. And so, all that and all the years I went – whether it was Reagan, Carter, George H.W., Clinton – and all the time I went, I don't remember Republicans ever failing to stand for the president because we're standing for the office. We're not standing for the individual. We're standing for the elected official of the American people. And I think to not do that, begins to show an alienation that's very dangerous._

"But if you ask Democrats how they think they are going to come back, there is a debate about, you know, within the party, do you fight on every front or do you focus on the economic issues? And I think most Democrats believe their best chance of kind of getting a second look from the public in 2025 is this debate over the budget," Brownstein argued.
Brownstein argued that the Democratic Party could link the argument that the GOP will be cutting Medicaid to fund tax cuts for the wealthy to the budget, and that it might be their best strategy in 2025.

A $53 billion Arab-backed plan for the reconstruction of Gaza has garnered support from France, Germany, Italy and the U.K., after receiving pushback from the U.S. .
"The plan shows a realistic path to the reconstruction of Gaza and promises – if implemented – swift and sustainable improvement of the catastrophic living conditions for the Palestinians living in Gaza," the foreign ministers wrote in a joint statement.
The foreign ministers called for a post-war plan based on "a solid political and security framework," but reiterated the need for Hamas to not be able to govern Gaza. Additionally, the European leaders said that they are supportive of the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) "central role" in a post-war Gaza and "the implementation of its reform agenda."

While U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff called the plan a "good faith first step," State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce told reporters that it "does not fulfill the requirements, the nature of what President Trump is asking for."
Additionally, National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes expressed concerns about the plan in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.
"The current proposal does not address the reality that Gaza is currently uninhabitable, and residents cannot humanely live in a territory covered in debris and unexploded ordnance. President Trump stands by his vision to rebuild Gaza free from Hamas."

Trump received heavy criticism last month when he suggested the U.S. take over Gaza during a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister . Trump’s proposal would involve the relocation of Palestinians and turning the enclave into the "Riviera of the Middle East."

c9kek15FnUZ | https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/mar/13/lewis-hamilton-f1-melbourne-grand-prix | # Lewis Hamilton says outside pressure ‘nonexistent’ before F1 Ferrari debut
Lewis Hamilton has insisted he has nothing to prove and feels no pressure going into his first race for Ferrari at the Formula One season opener in Melbourne this weekend, with the seven-time champion simply revelling in what he described as the most exciting period of an already long and storied career.
Hamilton, who made his F1 debut in 2007 and is now entering his 19th season in the sport, will make his debut with at Albert Park after six years at McLaren and then 12 at Mercedes.
Driving for the Scuderia had long been a childhood dream for the British driver and the interest in his switch to racing for the sport’s most famous and most successful marque has already been intense, reaching an apogee in the buildup to the opening meeting in Albert Park.

“I’m under no assumptions that it will be easy, it is not,” he said. “But I don’t feel the pressure. The outside pressure, it’s nonexistent for me. The pressure is from within and what I want to achieve. I’m not here to prove anything to anybody, I don’t feel I have to do anything.
“I’ve been a long, long time and done it time and time again,” he said. “I know what it takes to do a good job and that’s what I want to deliver for myself and for my family, for this team that I really believe deserve success.”
Ferrari have not won the drivers’ championship since 2007 and the constructors’ title since 2008, but finished second in the latter last season to McLaren and closed out 2024 with a car very much at the sharp end of the grid.
Expectations are that it will be competitive once again this season and Hamilton and his teammate, Charles Leclerc, will be able to challenge for wins.
Hamilton was cautiously optimistic after pre-season testing but guarded as to how Ferrari stood in relation to the rest of the field, form that will only really be demonstrated in Saturday’s qualifying at Albert Park. He was, however, in upbeat, buoyant mood in Melbourne, reinvigorated and motivated for the task ahead with Ferrari after three seasons struggling with a recalcitrant Mercedes. “I’m itching to get going,” he said. “This is the most exciting period of my life and so I’m really just enjoying it, I’m so excited to get in the car tomorrow.”
When Hamilton made his debut in Australia in 2007 he was only 22. Now, starting a new era in his career, he looked back on how much had changed and why his experience gave him confidence he could make a success of it with the Scuderia.

“When I was 22 years old, I wasn’t obviously mature, I didn’t have a lot of foundation around me. It was my dad and my step-mum was booking my flights to come out here,” he said. “They’re here this weekend, so it’s been a long journey with them but I didn’t have any help with prepping for something like this. It was just deep end everywhere and I drowned many times.
“Now, obviously I’m very comfortable in my skin. I know who I am, I know where I’m going. I know what energy and time and effort I need to put in to get there. Obviously when I was 22 I didn’t know that, but what a rollercoaster ride it’s been up until now.”
Separately on Thursday, F1 announced that its president and chief executive, Stefano Domenicali, would continue in his role until the end of 2029. Domenicali took on the role in 2021 and has since overseen the sport’s remarkable growth in popularity, its expansion in terms of fans and races and the financial stabilisation of the costs of competing, leading to a surge in value of the teams.
Domenicali’s tenure has been well received within the sport, with his range of experience putting him in a strong position to understand the differing perspectives involved. He was the team principal at Ferrari between 2008 and 2013, then joined the commercial wing of Audi for two years before becoming chair and CEO at Lamborghini.

UeV7rB4njRU | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/11/moscow-airports-suspend-flights-after-massive-ukrainian-drone-attack | # Three reportedly killed in Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow as peace talks begin
Ukraine has launched its largest drone attack on Moscow hours before US and Ukrainian teams convened for peace talks in Saudi Arabia.
The Russian defence ministry reported that 337 drones were launched at overnight on Monday, including 91 targeting the Moscow region, killing three people, causing fires and disrupting flights and train services.
A senior Ukrainian official said on Tuesday the drone attack should encourage to accept an aerial and naval ceasefire that Ukraine is expected to propose during the talks in Saudi Arabia.
“The largest drone attack in history was carried out on Moscow and the Moscow region,” said Andriy Kovalenko, a national security council official responsible for countering disinformation. He added: “This is an additional signal to Putin that he should also be interested in a ceasefire in the air.”
Russia’s health ministry reported that 18 people were injured in the Moscow region.
The Russian aviation watchdog said flights were suspended at all four of Moscow’s airports. Two other airports, in the Yaroslavl and Nizhny Novgorod regions east of Moscow, were also closed.
A Telegram channel with links to the security services, citing a former Russian serviceman who reportedly shot down one of the drones with a hunting rifle in a small village outside Moscow, claimed that Russian forces are gaining the upper hand on the battlefield.
Russian officials and pro-Russian outlets frequently say drones have been shot down and their debris damaged housing or facilities – regardless of whether the drones hit their intended military targets.
Ukraine routinely launches drone attacks on Russia, targeting infrastructure critical to Moscow’s war effort. Tuesday’s attack was the largest on the capital this year, coming hours before US and Ukrainian teams were to meet for peace talks in Saudi Arabia. The timing appeared to send a clear signal to Moscow and Washington that Kyiv was not prepared to accept an unfavourable peace deal and remained a formidable military force.
Like their Ukrainian counterparts, Russian officials and Moscow-aligned Telegram channels also linked the attack to the peace talks.
“... the meaning behind this largest drone attack on the Moscow region is clear – it coincides with the start of negotiations in Saudi Arabia, where Ukraine will try to push for an air and naval ceasefire that is entirely unfavourable to Russia,” wrote the popular pro-Kremlin channel MIG Russia.

9R3AbRsf8Zl | https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/mar/13/vivianne-miedema-interview-womens-football-inclusive-manchester-city | # Vivianne Miedema: ‘Women’s football is proud to be inclusive but it is starting to slip. We need to act’
Forward sounds urgent warning, discusses Manchester City upheaval and says she is starting to click with Khadija Shaw
**Thu 13 Mar 2025 07.00 EDT**
Last modified on Thu 13 Mar 2025 10.10 EDT
Vivianne Miedema made her senior debut as a 15-year-old in the Netherlands, and 13 and a half years and more than 300 goals later there are few players better qualified to comment on the evolution of the women’s game than the Manchester City forward. She is deeply concerned by the growing number of incidents of so-called fans abusing players.
“We’re always saying we’re proud in the women’s game that we’re very inclusive but somehow that is starting to slip away a bit,” Miedema says. “If we don’t act really strongly right now then it might be too late.”
Miedema issues that warning in a candid interview at City’s training ground, 48 hours after Liverpool’s from a spectator at Arsenal on Sunday, and just over a month after her teammate Khadija “Bunny” Shaw was subjected to , which remains under investigation by Greater Manchester police.
Miedema knows that the majority of women’s crowds are “still a lot of lovely, loving football fans” but says: “The situation in the football world is certainly not where we want it to be. I think Bunny prioritising her mental health ] after what happened is probably the strongest thing anyone could have done in that situation, which me personally and the team respect her for massively. What we can do is be there for Bunny and keep voicing that things do need to be better.”
On the pitch, Miedema, the Women’s Super League’s record goalscorer, enjoys linking up with Shaw, last season’s Golden Boot winner who is leading the WSL’s scoring charts again this term with 12 goals in 14 appearances. Miedema says they have “funny competitions” in training, battling to see “who’s the better finisher”, but knows they can combine effectively.
“We’ve got complete opposite strengths, which is probably the reason why we actually can work together really well. At times it’s been difficult because I’ve had my injury, Bunny’s had her injury, so only in the last couple of games you can now see it starting to click. I’m really, really excited to see wherever that can lead us. If you look at the quality we have on the pitch, especially going forward, it’s unreal. The moment that starts clicking then I’m pretty convinced we can still beat anyone.”

Miedema says she had “needed something new” when she joined City last summer after seven years at Arsenal. Knee surgery in October, weeks after over the defending European champions Barcelona, sidelined her until mid-January, when she embarked on a run of five goals in four games. City have also had to contend with the absence of Lauren Hemp, Alex Greenwood, Shaw and others.
“Welcome to women’s football,” Miedema says with a wry smile. “It’s obviously one of the reasons that all of us players keep asking for a better schedule and more breaks. Respect to the whole club and the team on how we’ve dealt with it. We’ve been trying to stay really positive but yes, sometimes it is a wee bit like: ‘Oh, what if everyone was fit?’ because we all still remember that game we played against Barcelona with a fully fit team. Where would we have been? But it’s part of football.”
Another thing that Miedema knows is part of the game is managerial changes, after Monday’s surprise . City’s former manager Nick Cushing has taken interim charge for the remainder of the season. Miedema speaks respectfully about Taylor as she says: “We know that big decisions have to be made at times. It’s still difficult, as a group. My personal relationship with Gareth was really positive. I’ve really enjoyed playing under him. I’m really grateful that he’s actually made me enjoy playing football again.
But we also know that the next day we come in, we just need to be prepared for whatever comes next, and I think Nick kickstarted that really well this morning. All of us who were in today are really, really excited to just work towards that final now on Saturday.”
Cushing’s first game is that League Cup final against Chelsea. Miedema scored against Cushing’s City in 2018 – “I might actually mention that to him tomorrow morning,” she jokes when reminded – to secure the first trophy of Joe Montemurro’s tenure as Arsenal manager, before adding the WSL title the following season. She recalls that 2018 final as one “that shaped a lot of the Joe era at Arsenal” and hopes history can repeat itself.
Saturday’s game at Derby’s Pride Park is the first of four consecutive meetings with Chelsea, their Champions League quarter-final sandwiching next weekend’s league game. “We know each other so well,” Miedema says. “Maybe at one point we’ll actually get fed up seeing each other and playing against each other. We know their qualities, we know how good they can be. But we also need to trust ourselves and go in with full confidence.”

March 6, 2025
The behavioral health needs of children, youth, and their families are one of the Health
Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) highest priorities. As you may know, the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) sent a Quality and Safety Special Alert Memo (QSSAM) yesterday,
alerting providers to the dangerous chemical and surgical mutilation of children, including
interventions that cause sterilization. The QSSAM reminds providers of their duty to serve all
patients, especially children, with dignity and adherence to the highest standard of care that is
informed by robust evidence and the utmost scientific integrity. The memo notes that the United
States is now an outlier in the treatment of gender-dysphoria in children, as the United Kingdom,
Sweden, and Finland have recently issued restrictions on the use of puberty blockers and cross-
sex hormones for children.
Moving forward, HRSA will review its policies, grants and programs in light of the concerns
discussed in the QSSAM and may begin taking steps in the future to appropriately update its
policies to protect children from chemical and surgical mutilation. HRSA will follow any
applicable substantive and procedural requirements in taking any future action.
HRSA’s review will include its Children’s Hospitals Graduate Medical Education (CHGME)
Payment Program. In particular, HRSA will examine the $367.2 million that was awarded in
fiscal year 2024 to 59 free-standing children’s hospitals nationwide in light of the concerns
discussed in the QSSAM. HRSA may also consider re-scoping, delaying, or potentially
cancelling new grants in the future depending on the nature of the work and any future policy
change(s) HRSA may make.
Thank you for your continued partnership with HHS and HRSA and for your cooperation as we
work together to improve the health and well-being of the children of this country and to Make
America Healthy Again. The QSSAM’s message to providers on the dangerous chemical and
surgical mutilation of children, including interventions that cause sterilization, was informed by a
growing body of evidence and protective policies in other developed countries. HRSA may
begin taking steps to appropriately update its policies to protect children from chemical and
surgical mutilation.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Engels

**Exclusive:** Critics say inducements are harmful and urge a ban as recommended by Murphy inquiry

**AFL admits it has lost control of online gambling oversight amid spike in ‘integrity risks’**
Documents seen by Guardian Australia showed the initially wanted to charge all bookmakers a minimum annual fee of $20,0000. For some, this was lowered to $3,000 in 2025, $5,000 in 2026 and $7,000 in 2027. While that was a small change for large bookmakers, it was a significant hit for smaller operators that typically focus on horse racing.
James Filgate, a Victorian bookmaker who runs the brand JimmyBet, said he had refrained from sending inducements to customers for many years. That will now change, he said, in response to the AFL’s plan to seize more gambling money.
“In the end, the only way we can increase our turnover is to have a targeted generosity program. For us to receive $20,000 per year, we must offer a promotion for our sportsbook to increase our turnover by 20-fold, which would make us 20-fold more attractive to our customers,” Filgate said.
Guardian Australia has been told other small bookmakers are planning to use inducements to help replace the money sent to the AFL under a new deal.
“With the AFL wanting to increase their share of gambling revenue, all that means is that the bookmakers will in turn squeeze punters more and more,” Wackett said.
“Let’s be clear. If they’re going to operate with a lot of money coming in from gambling, we’re going to be in increasingly dangerous territory.”
“Intensifying the gambling industry will be adding to an already fragile social license,” Thomas said.
Filgate suggested the AFL’s push for more gambling money had undermined its social licence.
“The AFL has a social responsibility to all its supporters of the game and its partners to ween itself from the gambling revenue, before its dependence is irreversible,” Filgate said.
“AFL plan to extract more money from gambling faces potential legal challenge”

m43KdgvGPB5 | https://www.foxnews.com/us/missteps-american-college-student-disappearance-probe-have-permanent-consequences-retired-fbi-agent | As the search for missing spring break college student Sudiksha Konanki enters its eighth day, said that with each day passing there is a loss of "forensic capabilities."
"There will be evidence on the body to be able to determine the cause of death," retired FBI agent Scott Duffey told Fox News Digital. "With every day passing, if she was not taken by kidnapping, and she is in fact out in the water, then with each day passing, there is a loss of some forensic capabilities."
Duffey said the international investigation with multiple governments involved – both America and India – was complicated by Dominican Republic authorities suggesting that Konanki drowned after going into the water after a night out with friends.
"You bring upon two major governments that are saying, 'Before we commit to the drowning theory, let's do a little bit more investigation,'" he said. "Now, without a body, should never, ever make a comment like that. It does a disservice first and foremost to the family, but, of course, to the reputation of the police department."
On Thursday, Dominican Republic authorities changed their tune and for the missing University of Pittsburgh student now extends "beyond an accidental event" and "examines all variables."
Duffey said that authorities in the Dominican Republic saying that it appeared that the 20-year-old drowned were "initial missteps."
"I do believe there are missteps when you call something so quickly before," he said. "Was the crime scene investigation done? Was clothing found?"
**WATCH:**
Konanki was last seen on hotel surveillance video on March 6 after 4 a.m. She was last seen walking with a young man who had his arms wrapped around her shoulders.
The young man previously seen with Konanki is seen on surveillance footage entering the interior of the hotel around 9 a.m. on March 6.
La Policia Nacional, the country’s national police force, later said the young man is under investigation.
He reportedly said he was in the water at the same beach, and authorities were questioning him in an attempt to corroborate his version of events, according to a translation of a Spanish-language statement from police.
In another version of the story, he said he felt sick and left Konanki in knee-deep water before he passed out on the beach. The man additionally claimed he saw Konanki walking on the beach before he fell asleep on the beach, according to the local report.
Authorities said that they found her sandals and a sarong-style beach gown on a chair by the beach.

Duffey said that the evidence and the witness testimony "tell us a story."
"The big question is what was the intoxication level, if any, for both of them?" he said. "I don't want to cast a shadow upon this individual simply and thereby his memory is warped."
"He's remembering things differently, and then it's natural that the story is going to change," Duffey said. "And the evidence, whether that be vomit found on the beach, can help corroborate the individual's testimony."

said authorities "can get a good sense" if their interview subject is being deceptive or just not recalling the details.
"And as long as he's continuing to be cooperative, because he has nothing to hide, then that will lend to additional information coming out," he said.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the FBI for comment.

XrT8xUN1BIG | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/13/johns-hopkins-job-cuts-usaid | # Johns Hopkins to lose 2,000 jobs after Trump’s $800m cut in USAid funding
University says cut in funding ‘forcing us to wind down critical work’ as academics rally against job losses
Johns Hopkins University announced it was planning to cut more than 2,000 jobs after the slashed $800m in grants to the renowned academic institution.
The funding for the positions had come from the US Agency for International Development, which the administration has gutted with enormous cuts. A total of 247 domestic US workers and another 1,975 positions abroad in 44 countries will be affected by what amounts to the largest layoff in the history of the university.
The job losses will affect the university’s Bloomberg School of Public Health, its medical school, and its affiliated non-profit for international health, Jhpiego. The school of public health includes more than 80 research institutions that focus on issues such as gun violence, maternal health, and the economic impacts of Alzheimer’s disease.
The grant elimination announcement comes on the same day that hundreds of professors, researchers, and other staff with the school of public health held a rally meant to show support for “American scientists and science amid federal layoffs and cuts to research funding,” the Hub, a publication of the public health school.
“This is a difficult day for our entire community. The termination of more than $800m in USAid funding is now forcing us to wind down critical work here in and internationally,” the university said in a statement shared with media.
Johns Hopkins receives the most federal research funding, and is the largest private employer, in both and Baltimore and employs more than 150,000 people, the university said in a statement to the Guardian.
Those who lost their jobs due to the most recent grant funding cuts will be given 60 days’ advance notice before they are laid off or furloughed, the statement continued.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk, who has taken a major role in the administration as the head of the so-called “department of government efficiency,” have sought to dismantle USAid. Both have spread conspiracy theories and misinformation about supposed rampant fraud and waste within the agency.
The Trump administration has canceled more than 80% of all the programs at USAid following a six-week review, Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, said on Monday. Johns Hopkins is also being impacted by the White House’s investigation into dozens of over pro-Palestinian protests.
Last week, the US canceled $400m in grants and contracts to New York’s Columbia University. The Trump administration is also seeking to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian graduate who has played a prominent role in pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia.

General
1. What is the aim of the EHDS?
The EHDS Regulation has three main parts, each with different addressees:
Chapter II on primary use provides additional rights to patients and establishes the technical infrastructure
necessary for their implementation. Member States will have to ensure that the required infrastructure
on their level is in place and that healthcare providers are connected to it.
Chapter III on Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems is addressed to manufacturers and other economic
operators who make EHR systems available on the market. It creates requirements on such systems
regarding interoperability and logging capabilities. It also sets up mechanisms for market surveillance of
EHR systems, with provisions on the market surveillance authorities to be designated by the Member
States and the activities of these authorities.
Chapter IV on secondary use is addressed to health data holders and users. It creates obligations on health
data holders to make data available and frames how health data users can use such data. It establishes
health data access bodies (HDABs) as well as the necessary infrastructure.
The remaining chapters deal with governance, for example setting up the EHDS Board, international
aspects, and other horizontal topics.
2. Material scope – what is in, what is out?
On the definition of the material scope, see Article 1, paragraphs 3 and following, notably:
(7) – this clarifies that legislation that lays down disclosure obligations of certain health data in the public
interest is not affected. This makes sure that e.g. notifiable diseases report and reporting of suspected
adverse events in pharmacovigilance are not affected.
(9)(a) – this repeats that activities that are outside the scope of Union law are excluded from the scope
(see Article 4(2) TEU). This means for example that activities for national security are excluded.
(9)(b) – this clarifies that the EHDS does not create an empowerment for such law-enforcement
authorities to obtain health data. An example would be public prosecutors needing to obtain DNA samples
to match against evidence found at a crime scene – the prosecutors need to use their investigate powers
laid down by law to obtain that data and cannot use the EHDS for this purpose.

3. What is the timeline for the EHDS to become applicable?
The EHDS Regulation was published in the Official Journal on 5 March 2025 and enters into force 20 days
after. However, it will start to apply in a phased way:
-
Key provisions of Chapters II (on primary use) and III (on EHR systems) will apply from 4 years from
entry into force, i.e. by 26 March 2029, regarding the first group of priority categories (patient
summaries, electronic prescriptions, electronic dispensations) and from 6 years, i.e. by 26 March
2031, for the remaining priority categories (medical imaging studies, test results, discharge
reports).
- Chapter IV on secondary use will apply from 4 years from entry into force regarding most of the
data categories listed in Article 51, so by 26 March 2029. For some categories, such as genetic
data, it will apply from 6 years after entry into force, so by 26 March 2031 (see also question 28).
Article 75(5) on the possibility for third countries to become authorised participants in
HealthData@EU will apply from 10 years after entry into force, that is to say by 26 March 2034.
In practical terms:
As a patient, you will be able to use the health data access services and exercise your rights in primary use
from entry into force by 26 March 2029 for the first group of priority categories (patient summary,
electronic prescriptions, electronic dispensations) and from 26 March 2031 for the remaining categories.
As a manufacturer of EHR systems, from 26 March 2029, you will only be allowed to place on the market
EHR systems that comply with the common specifications for the harmonised components for systems
processing the first group of priority categories, and from 26 March 2031 for systems processing the
remaining categories.
As a health data holder, you will have to submit descriptions of the datasets you hold to the relevant HDAB
by 26 March 2029 or 2031, depending on which of the Article 51 categories (see Q0 below) each dataset
falls into. By the same time, you may be required to make data available to the HDAB following a data
permit / request decision.
As a health data user, you will be able to submit applications to HDABs for permits and requests relating
to most of the data categories in Article 51 by 26 March 2029. From two years later, you will also be able
to do so for the remaining categories (data on factors impacting on health, including socio-economic,
environmental and behavioural determinants of health; human genetic, epigenomic and genomic data;
other human molecular data such as proteomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic, lipidomic and other -omic
data; data from clinical trials, studies and investigations; research data).
Member States will for example have to set up their digital health authorities and designate their national
contact points by 26 March 2027. By 26 March 2029, they need to ensure that the services under Chapter
II are up and running. By 26 March 2031, they will have to extend these to the second group of priority
categories.
Regarding secondary use, by 26 March 2031, their HDABs must be ready to receive applications, as well
as be connected to HealthData@EU. By two years later, the HDABs must be ready to also exercise their
tasks regarding the final categories of data.
7
Other provisions, such as those on Governance and the setup of the EHDS Board will apply from entry into
force plus two years, by 26 March 2027.
Sources: Article 105; Recital 115
4. What is the Commission doing to prepare for application? When can we expect to see
implementing acts adopted?
While the transition periods may seem long at first sight, there is a lot of work to do to get ready for all
stakeholders involved – be that Member States, healthcare providers, or the Commission itself.
The EHDS Regulation sets out the framework on how the EHDS will operate. But there are plenty of
technical details that will be set out in delegated and implementing acts – from the technical specifications
of the European electronic health record exchange format to the detailed requirements for EHR systems
manufacturers when they register their systems, to the security measures for secure processing
environments. In addition, once those technical details are set out, the systems will need to be built,
tested, and deployed.
That is why the EHDS Regulation includes a deadline for the Commission to adopt key implementing acts
by 26 March 2027: two years to set out the detailed blueprints, and then two more years to build, test,
and deploy them before key parts of the EHDS regulation become appliable by entry into force plus four
years.
The key implementing acts with this deadline are the following:
• Art. 13(4) on data quality requirements in primary use;
• Art. 15(1) on the technical specifications for the EEHRxF;
• Art. 23(4) on MyHealth@EU;
• Art. 36(1) on common specifications for the harmonised components of EHR systems;
• Art. 70(1) on templates for data access applications, permits, and requests;
• Art. 73(5) on requirements for secure processing environments;
• Art. 75(12) on HealthData@EU;
• Art. 77(4) on the requirements for dataset descriptions;
• Art. 78(6) on the data quality and utility label.
Implementing acts will go through the usual comitology procedures involving Member States as well as
the required public consultations, while delegated acts adopted by the Commission will be subject to a
period during which the European Parliament and the Council may object to the delegated act, in
accordance with Article 290 TFEU. There are several empowerments for delegated acts, e.g. in Article
49(4) for supplementing the EHDS Regulation with a list of required data to be entered into the EU
database for registration of EHR systems and wellness applications by the manufacturers of EHR systems
and wellness applications.

5. What is the Commission doing to support Member States as well as healthcare providers
and other stakeholders for the application of the EHDS?
The Commission funds multiple projects and joint actions in preparation for the implementation of the
EHDS. Please see some examples below:
Xt-EHR – working on implementation guides, technical specifications, and a conformity assessment
framework for the adoption of the EEHRxF and for the implementation of security and logging
mechanisms.
EHDS2 Pilot Project – piloting connecting data platforms in a network infrastructure and developing
services supporting the user journey for research projects using health data from various EU Member
States.
TEHDAS 2 – developing guidelines and technical specifications for implementation of secondary use.
QUANTUM – developing criteria for a data quality and utility label.

Primary Use (Chapter II)
For patients
6. About which kinds of data can I exercise my EHDS rights as a patient?
Under the EHDS Regulation, you will have an additional right to access, control, and share specific
categories of your personal electronic health data. You will be able to exercise these rights using an online
service. These additional rights apply to the following categories of personal electronic health data,
collectively called “the priority categories”. These rights will start to apply in two phases:
First phase:
1. Patient summaries (an extensive set of key clinical data including problems, medication,
vaccination, plan of care, etc);
2. Electronic prescriptions;
3. Electronic dispensations (information that a prescription has been used);
Added in second phase:
4. Medical imaging studies and related imaging reports;
5. Medical test results, including laboratory and other diagnostic results and related reports;
6. Discharge reports.
You will have these additional rights on the first three categories by 26 March 2029 (first phase) and by
26 March 2031 for the last three categories (second phase).
These rights apply to these data categories when such data are processed electronically. For example, a
discharge report that exists only on paper would be out of scope.
The EHDS Regulation creates no obligation to digitise paper documents. These rights are about giving
patients better insight into and control over such data when they are processed electronically.
Sources: Articles 14 and 105; Recitals 9, 11, and 115.
7. As a patient, how will I exercise these rights, what tools will I have?
You will be able to exercise your rights under the EHDS Regulation through secure health data access
services (see Article 4). These online services will provide you with a dashboard to for example access
(view) your own data, see who accessed it, signal inaccuracies, restrict data, and manage your proxy
authorisations (on proxy services, see also question 15).
Of course, access to these services will be secured. Authentication for accessing these services will use
secure electronic identification methods, recognised under Article 6 of the eIDAS Regulation 910/2014.
Often, national eIDs will qualify as such (see also question 19 below).
There is an additional design requirement for these services to be easy to use, for example for persons
with disabilities, vulnerable groups, or people with low digital literacy.
Sources: Articles 4, 16; Recital 20
10
8. How will the right of access work for me as a patient? Are there exceptions?
The EHDS will grant you the right to immediate access to the priority categories of your electronic health
data through an access service (see also question 7). This access will also always be free of charge for you.
Patients can look at their data in the access service, in practice using a form of a dashboard. You will be
able to download the data as well.
There are however two restrictions to this right of access:
First, the text acknowledges that there may be cases where due to the need for technological
practicability, there can be slight delays in data availability. For example, there may be a short time lag
between for example the time that a laboratory report is issued and when it shows up in your dashboard
in the health data access service.
Secondly, there can be cases where immediate access to certain information could be harmful. That is
why Member States may, where necessary for the protection of the patient, impose rules on a delay so
that certain information is shown in the dashboard only after a treating health professional has explained
the information and its consequences to the patient.
Think for example about laboratory results confirming that a patient has a life-threatening health
condition. To protect the patient, it may be appropriate for them to learn about this in a consultation with
their treating health professional, who can then explain the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment options.
After this explanation, the information would then also become visible (and downloadable) in the health
data access service like any other health data in the priority categories.
Sources: Articles 3, 4, and 9; Recitals 9 to 11, 25
9. As a patient, can I add information in the electronic health data access service?
Yes, in accordance with Article 5, you have the right to add information to your electronic health records
via the health data access service, including data from an interoperable wellness application (see question
29).
The EHDS Regulation does not establish a list of data elements that can be inserted. However, the
intention is to enable patients to complement data in the priority data categories.
Any information added by the patient will be clearly distinguished from information entered by health
professionals.
This right is only about adding information, it does not allow changing (or deleting) information provided
by health professionals (for correcting errors in such information, please see question 10 below).
Sources: Article 5; Recital 12
11
10. As a patient, if I see incorrect information in the electronic health data access service, how
can I get it corrected?
As a patient, if you identify incorrect information in the electronic health data access service, you will be
able to request that it be rectified through the functionalities provided by the health data access services.
Such requests will then be forwarded to the original source of the contested data (that is to say, the
controller for the processing operations from which they originate) who will assess it and correct it if
needed.
However, it is important to note that you will not be able to directly change data that you believe to be
incorrect yourself, e.g. in a patient summary.
Sources: Article 6, Recital 13
11. How will the EHDS enhance portability of data for me as a patient?
Article 7 will significantly enhance the portability of personal electronic health data for patients.
You will have the right to receive and share your electronic health data in the European electronic health
record exchange format (EEHRxF – see also question 16 below). This will facilitate seamless data exchange
between healthcare providers across the EU. This means healthcare providers must be able to export and
import data in this format. However, this does not affect which formats they use internally.
This complements the right to data portability under the GDPR, but has important differences:
1. Data portability under the GDPR only applies to data processed based on consent or contract.
Portability under Art. 7 EHDS applies regardless of the legal basis of the processing.
2. Data portability under the GDPR only applies to data provided by a data subject to a controller,
including observed data, but not inferred data. Portability under Art. 7 EHDS applies regardless of
whether data was provided (‘patient reports pain in left knee’), observed (‘x-ray image of the
knee’), or inferred (‘the problem with the knee is X’).
3. Under the GDPR, the data subject has the right to receive and share data in a commonly used
format. There is however no requirement for the controllers from and to whom the data subject
ports data to support the same format. The EHDS creates an obligation on both side to support
export/import of data in the EEHRxF (see also question 16 below).
To exercise the right for data portability you do not need to transport the data yourself. Instead, your data
can be transmitted from its source to the treating health professional. In practice, this works in such a way
that the health professional can issue a request for your data, and the data will be provided by the data
source (apart from any restricted parts, see question 12 below). Alternatively, you can download your
data and transmit it to the healthcare provider of your choice yourself.
Sources: Article 7, Recital 15
12
12. How will the right to restrict work for patients? What is the effect on health professionals?
The right to restrict allows patients to limit the visibility of certain parts of their electronic health data in
the priority categories that can be shared. Other data that have not been restricted will remain available
via the services set up under the EHDS.
Data that have been restricted by the patient will not be accessible to health professionals using the EHDS
access services, and no indication of the restriction (such as a notification of hidden information) will be
visible to them. This is a right granted directly by the EHDS Regulation.
However, there will be an exception: in critical situations, health professional may invoke a ‘breaking the
glass’ mechanism – for example when an unconscious patient arrives in an emergency room, the treating
health professionals could use this exception to make sure that they have all available information at their
disposal to provide the best care.
Sources: Article 8, Recital 17
13. How will the right to opt out in primary use work?
The EHDS allows Member States the option to provide patients with the right to opt out from the
exchanges set up under the EHDS Regulation for primary use. If a Member State chooses to do so (by
means of national law), patients will have the right to withdraw completely from the data exchanges set
up by the EHDS for primary use. As a result, people who have opted out will, for instance, be unable to
access their own health data through the electronic health data access services set up under the EHDS.
Additionally, health professionals would be unable to access the patient's health data through the EHDS
health professional access service, such as retrieving a patient summary. For example, a new treating
health professional would not be able to use the health professional access service to obtain the patient
summary of such a person. However, Member States may also establish exceptions similar to the
‘breaking the glass’ scenario that can apply to this right.
Also note that this full opt-out from primary use in EHDS does not affect the initial registration of data by
the treating healthcare provider – for example, a hospital would keep the same documentation of an MRI
scan, but it would not be able to share it through the services set up by the EHDS. Patients who use this
opt-out would find themselves in a similar situation as before the EHDS.
The right to opt out in primary use is separate from the right to opt out in secondary use. When a patient
has opted out in primary use, that does not mean that they are automatically opted out in secondary use,
and the other way around (see question 0 below).
Sources: Article 10, Recital 18
14. What is the difference between the right to restrict and the right to opt out in primary use?
The right to restrict means that patients will be able to limit the visibility of specific parts of their electronic
health data in the priority categories, so that only selected data are accessible. Patients can also restrict
health professionals’ access to all their data in the services set up by the EHDS. However, there will be a
13
possibility for a ‘breaking the glass’ scenario allowing access to restricted data in emergencies. Other data
that have not been restricted will remain available via the services set up under the EHDS. This is a right
granted directly by the EHDS Regulation.
Such restrictions do not impact other rights of natural persons under the EHDS. For instance, the patients
themselves can still exercise the right of access to their health data, including the restricted parts.
In contrast, the right to opt out in primary use is an option that Member States may choose to offer
through national legislation. If they chose to do so, persons will have the right to withdraw their electronic
health data completely from the data exchanges set up by the EHDS. If a patient exercises this right, all
their data will be excluded from the EHDS data exchanges for primary use, meaning for example that
health professionals or the patient themselves cannot access their patient summary or other data through
the access service provided by the EHDS. Please note that this not affect the registration and availability
of data in local systems – the health professionals that provided treatment to you will still be able to
register information on that treatment in their local system and access it.
Sources: Articles 8 and 10, Recital 17, 18
15. How will the proxy services work?
Proxy services under the EHDS Regulation will allow another person to act on behalf of a patient regarding
access to their electronic health data. The proxy services deal with two main situations:
1. A patient authorises somebody else to act on their behalf. An example would be a person
authorising their spouse to access that person’s records.
2. A legal guardian acts on behalf of their wards. The main example here are parents for their minor
children. In this case, the relevant Member State’s rules on such guardianship apply – the legal
guardian’s access could for example be nuanced depending on whether the child is a toddler or a
teenager.
Sources: Article 4; Recitals 20, 21
16. What is the European electronic health record exchange format and what is its aim?
One of the main obstacles to ensuring interoperability and seamless exchange of health information for
providing treatment is the use of different and often incompatible file formats for data – for example,
hospitals are often technically not able to import reports from other hospitals into their own systems. This
is a problem particularly in cross-border situations but is also common within the same Member State.
The European electronic health record exchange format (EEHRxF) is designed to address the challenges
of interoperability and enable the seamless exchange of health information for the priority categories of
personal electronic health data across different healthcare systems within the EU. It provides a common
European format for describing the priority categories (see question 6 above). EHR systems (see question
22 below) will have to be able to import and export data in this format. This will be an important step
forward for interoperability of electronic health information. In simple words: the EEHRxF will be a
common language that EHR systems must be able to speak to one another.
14
The detailed specifications will be set out by the Commission through an implementing act, to be adopted
within two years of entry into force of the EHDS Regulation, that is to say by 26 March 2027 (see Article
15 EHDS).
The specifications are expected to build on the work of the XT-EHR Joint Action that in turn builds on the
results of previous EU-funded projects such as XpanDH, x-eHealth, and epSOS, as well as on Commission
Recommendation (EU) 2019/243 on a European Electronic Health Record exchange format.
Sources: Article 15; Recital 26
17. What is MyHealth@EU?
MyHealth@EU is the cross-border infrastructure supporting the primary use parts of the EHDS.
It is through this infrastructure that for example patient summaries will be exchanged cross-border. The
Commission will provide central services as a service to the Member States. The Member States’ national
contact points will connect to this infrastructure. The actual exchanges of electronic health data will be
point-to-point: as an example, if you need medical care abroad in Member State B, the healthcare
provider there can receive your patient summary from Member State B’s national contact point, who will
have requested it via MyHealth@EU from Member State A, where you usually live.
MyHealth@EU does not include a central repository of electronic health data – it only supports the point-
to-point exchanges between national contact points.
MyHealth@EU will be an evolution of the currently existing infrastructure of the same name that already
supports exchanges of patient summaries, electronic prescriptions and electronic dispensations between
several Member States, currently on a voluntary basis. The difference is that connecting to MyHealth@EU
under the EHDS will become mandatory for Member States and that the scope of data to be exchanged
will increase.

For health professionals
18. As a health professional, what is the benefit of the health professional access service for
me?
As a health professional, the health professional access service will provide you with access to the priority
categories of data relating to the patients under your treatment. This will improve the information
available to you to give your patients the best treatment. The health professional access service and the
patient-facing access services are two sides of the same coin.
The Member State where you work will set out detailed rules on this access – for example on
distinguishing access rights among categories or specialisations of health professionals.
15
In cross-border situations, the rules of the Member State of treatment apply. If for example you are a
nurse and the Member State where you provide treatment distinguishes access rights between nurses
and medical doctors, you will have the same access rights for cross-border cases as for a ‘local’ patient.
Sources: Article 12; Recital 19
19. How will patients and health professionals authenticate themselves to the access services?
Patients will have the right to authenticate themselves to the health data access services using reliable
electronic identification means, such as those compliant with the European Digital Identity Framework,
i.e. the EU Digital Identity Wallets and national electronic identification means recognised under Article 6
of Regulation 910/2014 (see Article 16 EHDS Regulation). Commonly these will be the same eIDs as the
ones accepted by other public and private online services.
Health professionals can use the same kind of identification means compliant with the European Digital
Identity Framework. Many Member States already provide national electronic identification means to
their licensed health professionals. Their use could continue as long as they are compliant with commons
specifications to be adopted through implementing acts under the EHDS Regulation (Article 36). At the
same time, health professional access services provided by public sector bodies or by private parties
(except small and medium size enterprises) will always have to accept the European Digital Identity
Wallets where the requirements of Article 5f(1)-(2) of Regulation 910/2014 are met.
Additional steps beyond basic electronic identification of the user are needed to verify the health
professional’s professional qualifications. The reason is that electronic identification means are commonly
focused on basic identification – they provide assurance that the person using them is who they claim
they are. In plain words, they prove that ‘this person is indeed Jane Doe’ – but the information ‘Jane Doe
is a registered nurse working in the maternity ward of Capital City University Hospital’ is (usually) not part
of the attributes that they prove. More advanced identification mechanisms, such as the EU Digital
Identity Wallets, will also enable provision of proof of qualification or sharing other attributes, and the
use of this functionality could be considered by Member States.
Sources: Articles 12 and 16; Recital 29
For Member States’ authorities
20. What will be the tasks of the Digital Health Authorities?
The Digital Health Authorities will have the tasks listed in Article 19 of the EHDS Regulation. They will be
responsible for orchestrating the implementation of the EHDS framework related to primary use in their
Member State – for example ensuring that the relevant technical solutions are put in place for the
implementation of the new rights for patients, providing relevant information to patients, health
professionals and healthcare providers.
Sources: Article 19; Recital 30
16
21. Who will set up the health data access service and health professional access service?
The EHDS Regulation places the responsibility on Member States to ensure that health data access
services and health professional access services are available.
Member States are entitled to organise their healthcare systems as they see fit, so this is an obligation of
results – what matters is that the services are operational and accessible. The way they are provided, e.g.
whether they are directly provided by the state or by other actors entrusted with such tasks in the national
systems is thus left open for Member States. The access services should be linked to the proxy services
(see question 15 above).

17
Requirements for EHR systems and wellness apps (Chapter III)
For manufacturers/importers/distributors of EHR systems:
22. Which products/services exactly count as EHR systems?
EHR systems are defined as (see Article 2(2) point (k) EHDS Regulation) ‘any system whereby the software,
or a combination of the hardware and the software of that system, allows personal electronic health data
that belong to the priority categories of personal electronic health data established under this Regulation
to be stored, intermediated, exported, imported, converted, edited or viewed, and intended by the
manufacturer to be used by healthcare providers when providing patient care or by patients when
accessing their electronic health data.’
This definition has the following elements:
-
-
-
-
EHR systems can be a combination of hardware of software or just software: an EHR system can
be integrated as part of a physical device or be software on its own;
They allow the storage, intermediation, export, import, conversion, editing, or viewing of priority
categories of electronic health data (see question 6 above): a system that only processes other
kinds of data (such as a system for patients to book appointments) is not an EHR system;
Systems do not need to provide all of storage, intermediation, export, import, conversion, editing,
or viewing functionalities to be considered as an EHR system;
They are intended by their manufacturer to be used:
o By healthcare providers when providing patient care: the classic example would be
systems used by clinicians for recording notes, test results etc, up to a patient
management system; or
o By patients when accessing their electronic health data: this means that for example an
app that connects to the electronic health data access service for patient will count as an
EHR system.
This definition is wide, and it is so on purpose: to ensure interoperability throughout the chain of
connected systems. It does not only apply to systems that aggregate information, like hospital information
systems, but also to the systems ‘feeding’ them.
Article 25(2) and recital 38 clarify that when general purpose software is used for these purposes, it does
not count as an EHR system: standard text processing software can be used to edit any kind of textual
information, including for example patient summaries, but it is not specifically intended by the
manufacturer for use in providing patient care1 and so does not count as an EHR system.
1 This mirrors a similar exclusion in recital 19 of the Medical Device Regulation 2017/745: clinical decision support
software is considered a medical device, but if a health professional uses general purpose software such as
spreadsheet software to create a spreadsheet template calculating dosage recommendations, that does not make
the (generic) spreadsheet software itself a clinical decision support software.
18
Products may have parts that fall under different certification systems such as under the Medical Devices
Regulation2, the Artificial Intelligence Act3 or the EHDS. In such case, each part of the product needs to
comply with the applicable certification framework.
Please find some illustrative examples below:
In scope:
• An information system used in a pharmacy to read electronic prescriptions, process dispensations
at the pharmacy and to issue an electronic dispensation.
• A patient information portal allowing a patient access electronically health data documents
produced in the provision of healthcare services that are included in the priority categories under
the EHDS Regulation, e.g. electronic prescriptions, medical images and reports such as X-ray or
MRI scans, laboratory results of blood or urine tests.
• A system converting the output of legacy EHR systems into the EEHRxF.
Out of scope:
• Scheduling system for appointments in a general practitioner’s practice;
• Administrative billing system, unless it processes diagnosis, medication or other patient data from
priority categories for preparing the bills;
• A wellness application processing non-medical data, e.g. sleep information or measuring intensity
and duration of physical activity.
Sources: Articles 2(2), point (k), 25(2); Recital 38
23. What are the specific requirements that EHR systems will have to comply with?
To be placed on the market or put into service in the Union, EHR systems must contain the two
harmonised software4 components, namely:
• The interoperability component,
• and the logging component.
These ‘components’ describe capabilities of EHR systems.
2 Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2017 on medical devices,
amending Directive 2001/83/EC, Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 and Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and repealing
Council Directives 90/385/EEC and 93/42/EEC, OJ L 117, 5.5.2017, p. 1–175.
3 Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2024 laying down
harmonised rules on artificial intelligence and amending Regulations (EC) No 300/2008, (EU) No 167/2013, (EU) No
168/2013, (EU) 2018/858, (EU) 2018/1139 and (EU) 2019/2144 and Directives 2014/90/EU, (EU) 2016/797 and
(EU) 2020/1828, OJ L, 2024/1689, 12.7.2024.
4 While EHR systems as a whole can have physical/hardware and software parts, these two components will
logically always be software.
19
The interoperability component provides the capability to import/export data that falls under the priority
categories (see question 6) in the EEHRxF. There is no requirement that EHR systems use the format
internally.
The logging component provides the capability to generate logs that can be used in the health data access
service to provide transparency on data access (see question 7 above).
The detailed specifications will be set out by the Commission in implementing acts to be adopted by 26
March 2027.
Manufacturers will be obliged to test these components in automated testing environments (see question
25 below) prior to placing EHR systems on the market.
Please note that while these will be the requirements for placing EHR systems on the market, Member
States may also maintain or define specific rules for the procurement or financing of, or reimbursement
for EHR systems. The EHDS requirements only cover the two harmonised components. Please check
Member State requirements on other parts of EHR systems.
Sources: Articles 2(2) points (m) to (o), 25, 26, 29; Recitals 36, 39
24. As a manufacturer of EHR systems, what steps do I have to take before I can place EHR
systems on the market?
You will have to make sure that your EHR system complies with the requirements of the EHDS Regulation:
1) Make sure that it provides the capabilities of the two harmonised components (see question 23
above);
2) Prove that it does so by passing the tests in the automated testing environment (see question 25
below);
3) Draw up the technical documentation required under Article 37 and provide the information
sheet required under Article 38;
4) Draw up the EU declaration of conformity in accordance with Article 39;
5) Affix the CE marking in accordance with Article 41;
6) Register your system in the Article 49 database.
Sources: Articles 30, 37 to 41, 49
25. As a manufacturer of EHR systems, what can I expect from the Automated Testing
Environment? When do I have to test my products?
The automated testing environments will test the two harmonised components of your EHR systems (see
question 23 above) against the requirements in the EHDS Regulation.
You will have to do these tests before placing your systems on the market in the Union. You will receive a
test report that will become part of your system documentation.
20
If your system does not pass, the report will provide feedback on which parts the system did not pass. You
can try again.
The report that becomes part of the system documentation is the final, successful, one, showing that the
system passed all tests. Only the successful test report has to be made available5.
The Commission will develop the software for the automated testing environment, so that Member States
can deploy an automated testing environment where these components can be tested.
Sources: Articles 37(2), 40; Recital 36
26. If a manufacturer updates a product, does it have to go through the conformity assessment
process again?
Whether a product needs to go through the process again depends on whether the update amounts to a
substantial change. This is the same concept of ‘substantial change’ as in other product legislation.
In short, an update counts as a substantial change when these three conditions are met:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
it modifies the original intended functions, type or performance of the product and this was
not foreseen in the initial risk assessment;
the nature of the hazard has changed or the level of risk has increased because of the update;
and
the product is made available / put into service.
Sources: section 2.1 of the ‘blue guide’ on product legislation
For buyers of EHR systems
27. As a hospital or other entity in the market for buying an EHR system, how do I find out if it
complies with EHDS requirements?
There will be two ways:
1) EHR systems will have to be CE-marked. Look for the mark on the EHR system (if it has physical
components) or in its documentation. The CE mark attests to conformity with applicable
requirements from Union legislation.
2) Manufacturers will also have to register their EHR systems in a publicly accessible database
managed by the Commission. The Commission will establish this database in due time before
applicability of the registration requirement. You will be able to look up registered systems online.
Sources: Articles 41, 49; Recitals 40, 51
5 If your system does not pass, you must not make place it on the market. The documentation obligations apply
when you place a system on the market.
21
28. Will healthcare providers, such as hospitals, have to update the EHR systems they have
already deployed?
The requirement for healthcare providers will be to be able to export and import data in the EEHRxF (see
question 16 above). That is a requirement they must comply with – how they achieve it is left to them.
They could for example upgrade their existing EHR systems to support this feature or use a system that
’translates’ between their internal file format and the EEHRxF. Member States can also mandate digital
health authorities to provide additional instructions or national services to facilitate this.
The rules in Chapter III of the EHDS Regulation will ensure that all new EHR systems offered in the Union
will can import and export data using the EEHRxF.
Sources: Articles 15(4), 23(5) and (6)
For users of wellness applications
29. What does it mean for a wellness application to claim interoperability with EHR systems?
This is a claim by the manufacturer of such apps or devices (that are not themselves EHR systems). It
means that the manufacturer of such app claims that it can provide information to EHR systems in a way
that it can be used. An example would be a sleep tracker that can feed information to an EHR system.
When a manufacturer makes that claim, the wellness app must comply with common specifications and
essential requirements for EHR systems.
Such interoperability does not mean that all information from the app will be continuously sent out. They
can only export information when the user has consented to it and must offer control over what is sent
and how – examples could be with which frequency (‘send once a week’) or triggering event (‘send if
indicator X exceeds value Y’) (see Article 48(2)).
Manufacturers that make such claims will have to register such wellness apps in the database established
under Article 49 of the EHDS.
This labelling requirement is something different than the requirements for placing EHR systems on the
market and should not be confused with it.

30. How do I find out whether a wellness application is interoperable with EHR systems?
Any such app will have to be both labelled as such and registered in the public EU database established
under Article 49 of the EHDS. You will be able to look them up there.

Secondary Use (Chapter IV)
For data holders
31. Who is a data holder?
The definition of who qualifies as a health data holder in Article 2(2) point (t) of the EHDS Regulation
includes several elements:
‘any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body in the healthcare or the care sectors,
including reimbursement services where necessary, as well as any natural or legal person developing
products or services intended for the health, healthcare or care sectors, developing or manufacturing
wellness applications, performing research in relation to the healthcare or care sectors or acting as a
mortality registry, as well as any Union institution, body, office or agency, that has either:
(i) the right or obligation, in accordance with applicable Union or national law and in its
capacity as a controller or joint controller, to process personal electronic health data for
the provision of healthcare or care or for the purposes of public health, reimbursement,
research, innovation, policy making, official statistics or patient safety or for regulatory
purposes; or
(ii) the ability to make available non-personal electronic health data through the control of
the technical design of a product and related services, including by registering, providing,
restricting access to or exchanging such data;
Any of the entities listed must make data available, provided they meet either of the two conditions in
the indents.
However, Article 50 contains a carveout from the obligation to make data available for individual natural
persons, such as independent researchers, and for micro-enterprises6. For example, a healthcare provider
that qualifies as a micro-enterprise would be excluded from the obligation to make data available. Should
it however grow so much that it would no longer qualify as a micro-enterprise, it would start to fall under
the obligation.
These entities must make available data that falls under the Article 51 data categories (see question 0
below) and that they control. For example, if a manufacturer of a wellness application designs the
application in such a way that data is only kept locally on the app user’s device without a possibility for
that manufacturer to access it, the manufacturer does not hold that data and thus would not be required
to make such data available.
To give another example, a provider of patient management systems processing personal electronic
health data as a processor for a hospital does not qualify as health data holder for those data, as it does
not meet the criterion of being a controller for the processing. In this situation, it would be the hospital
as controller that would qualify as health data holder.
6 See Commission Recommendation of 6 May 2003 concerning the definition of micro, small and medium-sized
enterprises, http://data.europa.eu/eli/reco/2003/361/oj, OJ L 124, 20.5.2003, p. 36: micro enterprises are those
that employ fewer than 10 persons and whose annual turnover and/or annual balance sheet total does not exceed
EUR 2 million.

Which data will health data holders have to make available?
Where an entity qualifies as health data holder (see question 31), it will have to make the data categories listed in Article 51 available
under the conditions in Chapter IV of the EHDS.
The data categories are listed in the table below. The obligation to make these categories available will apply in a staggered way. While
most categories will have to be made available from entry into force plus four years, the ones marked with an asterisk (*) will have to be
made available from entry into force plus six years.
Data category
electronic health data from EHRs
(*) data on factors impacting on
health, including socio-economic,
environmental and behavioural
determinants of health
aggregated data on healthcare
needs, resources allocated to
healthcare, the provision of and
access to healthcare, healthcare
expenditure and financing;
pathogen data on pathogens that
impact human health;
healthcare-related administrative
data, including dispensation,
claims and reimbursement data;
(*) human genetic, epigenomic
and genomic data;
Examples for what is in scope
EHRs contain a wide range of data about a patient's medical
history, treatments, and outcomes generated by healthcare
providers when providing treatment, such as diagnosis and
problem list, medication lists and treatment plans.
For example lifestyle factors analysis (smoking, alcohol
consumption, surgeries, accidents...)
For example, resources allocated to healthcare covers data on
the availability and distribution of healthcare resources, e.g.:
number of healthcare facilities (such as hospitals, clinics, nursing
homes), number of healthcare professionals (e.g., doctors,
nurses, GPs), availability of medical equipment and technology.
This is about aggregate-level non-personal data.
Collections of information on pathogens that can cause disease
in humans, including bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic or prion
pathogens:
Collections of information that is generated through the
administration of healthcare services, typically used for billing,
reimbursement, and healthcare management purposes.
Human genetic data refers to the information contained in an
individual's DNA, including their genes and chromosomes (e.g.
genotyping data, genomic sequencing data, microarray data).
25
Examples for what is out of scope
EHR kept by a healthcare provider
that qualifies as a micro-enterprise
(unless that Member State extended
the duty to make available data also
to such entities, see Article 50(2)).
Detailed socioeconomic data
collected outside healthcare settings,
or purely environmental data not
linked to health.
Individual-level information on
healthcare expenditure
Pathogen data on pathogens only
affecting animal health
Banking data such as account
numbers related to reimbursement
Human epigenomic data refers to the information about the
chemical modifications to an individual's DNA or histone proteins
that can affect gene expression without altering the underlying
DNA sequence (e.g. DNA methylation data, histone modification
data)
Human genomic data refers to the comprehensive information
about an individual's genome, including their genetic and
epigenetic data (e.g. whole-genome sequencing data, exome
sequencing data, gene expression data).
Proteomic data from clinical research
(*) other human molecular data
such as proteomic,
transcriptomic, metabolomic,
lipidomic and other -omic data;
personal electronic health data
automatically generated, through
medical devices
data from wellness applications; Data from fitness tracker shared with health care providers or
with the app developer.
Collection of health-related data that is generated by medical
devices and kept by a health data holder.
data on professional
qualifications, experience,
practice and status, specialisation
and institution of health
professionals involved in the
treatment of a natural person;
population-based health data
registries (public health
registries);
data from medical registries and
mortality registries;
For example, whether a treating physician referred to in an EHR
is a general practitioner or a specialist (and if so, in what field).
Population-based registries are systematic collections of health-
related data from a defined population. These registries are
typically maintained by government agencies, health
organisations, or research institutions to support public health
decision-making, policy development, and healthcare planning.
Medical registries are systematic collections of data on patients
with a specific disease, condition, or characteristic, such as
26
Raw molecular data generated for
non-health related purposes
Data stored locally on devices and not
accessible from the outside.
Data stored locally on user device / in
app without access by the developer
or healthcare provider
Contact information of that health
professional.
(*) data from clinical trials,
clinical studies and clinical
investigations subject to
Regulation (EU) No 536/2014,
Regulation (EU) 2024/1938 of the
European Parliament and of the
Council, Regulation (EU)
2017/745 and Regulation (EU)
2017/746, respectively;
other health data from medical
devices
data from registries for medicinal
products and medical devices;
transplantation registries containing collections of data on organ
transplantation outcomes, including patient characteristics,
transplant procedures, complications, and graft survival rates.
Mortality Registries are a systematic collection of data on deaths,
including information on cause, circumstances, and
demographics, such as cause-of-death registries containing data
on the underlying cause of death, including information on
disease, injury, or condition.
Data from completed clinical trials, investigations, and studies,
subject to rules established in the legal acts governing them.
Data from ongoing trials, studies or
investigations.
Data from pacemakers or other implanted medical devices held
by manufacturer or healthcare provider
Data stored locally on device without
access by manufacturer or healthcare
provider
Collections of data on the use, safety, and effectiveness of
medicinal products and medical devices, including two types of
registries:
Medicinal product registries: These registries collect data on
medicinal products, including prescription and over-the-counter
medications, vaccines, and biologics.
Medical device registries: These registries collect data on medical
devices, including implantable devices, diagnostic equipment,
and software.
(*) data from research cohorts,
questionnaires and surveys
Encompasses information collected from groups of individuals or
populations to understand health-related phenomena,
behaviours, or outcomes. These data are often used to identify
27
related to health, after the first
publication of the related results
health data from biobanks and
associated databases
risk factors, track trends, or evaluate the effectiveness of public
health interventions. The requirement to declare such datasets
applies after the first publication of result only.
Electronic health data kept by repositories of biological samples
and associated health data, which are collected and stored for
research purposes. These repositories can contain a wide range
of biological samples as well as associated health data, such as
medical records, lifestyle information, and environmental
exposures.
Examples:
Population-based biobanks: collections of data on biological
samples and health data from large populations, often for the
purpose of studying genetic and environmental factors that
contribute to disease.
Disease-specific biobanks: collections of data on biological
samples and health data from individuals with specific diseases.
Tissue banks: collections of data on human tissue samples for
research purposes.
The biological samples themselves
held by biobanks. EHDS secondary
use is about the re-use of existing
electronic health data, not about the
generation of new data. EHDS
secondary use cannot be used to
request new analyses on biological
samples (that would then generate
new data).
Note that this covers such data held by health data holders independently of the data’s collection or registration date – the obligation will
include old, existing electronic data.

32. Is a health data holder of personal electronic health data always the controller? What
about joint controllership situations?
Yes, as far as personal electronic health data is concerned, a health data holder is always a controller
(see the inclusion of the “controller” element in the definition of “health data holder” in Article 2(2)(t)).
Where a processor processes personal electronic health data on behalf of a controller, it is the controller
who is subject to the obligations of the health data holder (provided the controller also meets the other
criteria of the health data holder definition).
In joint controllership situations, it is for the joint controllers to organise among themselves who will e.g.
handle communication with the HDAB or provide dataset descriptions.
Sources: Article 2(2) point (y)
33. What kind of safeguards for intellectual property and the protection of trade secrets does
the EHDS include?
Article 52 of the EHDS Regulation establishes a specific framework to protect intellectual property rights
and trade secrets attached to health data made available under the EHDS.
It sets out the additional rules for making data that could include such rights and trade secrets available.
The EHDS provides a framework that carefully balances the sharing of such health data with the need to
protect intellectual property rights and trade secrets. The underlying principle is that under the EHDS,
intellectual property rights and trade secrets should not be an obstacle to the re-use of data. However,
the EHDS should not be used to circumvent the protection of such rights and of trade secrets either and
should not lead to a forfeiture of protection.
Health data holders will be able to notify to the health data access body (HDAB) if their datasets contain
information covered by intellectual property rights or trade secrets. They can do this either when
submitting the dataset description for inclusion in the data catalogue or later when a permit or request
on such data is issued.
The HDAB is then responsible for ensuring that relevant protective measures are put in place. These
measures may be of a legal, organisational or technical nature. They can, for example, include additional
contractual arrangements between health data holders and data users as a condition for access to the
data. The Commission will develop templates for such arrangements.
As an additional layer of protection, should the HDAB conclude that none of the protective measures
that can be put into place are sufficient to safeguard the intellectual property rights or trade secrets, it
can refuse the permit application on those grounds.
The HDAB’s decision can be challenged in court, both by the health data holder and by the health data
user. The protective measures available to the health data holder under the applicable legal provisions
regulating the intellectual property rights and trade secrets are not affected by the EHDS.

34. What are trusted health data holders and what is their role?
While the EHDS aims to make available data from a broad range of health data holders, it is also true
that some health data holders have more experience and relevant skills than others. The concept of
trusted health data holders in Article 72 acknowledges this.
Trusted health data holders are entities that have been designated by Member States based on their
ability to provide a secure processing environment, demonstrate expertise in data management, and
meet specific guarantees related to the handling of health data. Following designation, trusted health
data holders may receive data permit applications forwarded by the Health Data Access Body (HDAB).
The trusted health data holder is then responsible for assessing these applications and providing
recommendations to the HDAB. However, the HDAB still retains the final authority to approve or refuse
the applications. If a permit is granted, the trusted health data holder may also take on additional tasks,
such as preparing the data for secure access by the health data user.
Sources: Article 72; Recitals 76, 79
35. How will health data holders describe their datasets?
Health data holders will have to provide descriptions of the datasets they hold to the relevant HDAB.
The detailed list of elements will be determined via an implementing act to be adopted by the
Commission.
Health data holders will have to review the descriptions they provided once a year to ensure they are
still correct.
Sources: Articles 60(3) and 77
36. What are health data intermediation entities and what is their role?
Health data intermediation entities are a tool to reduce the administrative burden on health data
holders.
Member States can designate such health data intermediation entities to take over specific
responsibilities of health data holders, particularly in managing data access requests. This helps reduce
the administrative burden on individual data holders by centralising the process through a single
intermediary. For instance, a Member State might designate a public sector body managing a centralised
electronic patient file as a health data intermediation entity. Member States can designate multiple
health data intermediation entities. Such entities would then interface with the Health Data Access Body
(HDAB) on behalf of various hospitals and other healthcare providers (or other health data holders, as
the case may be), ensuring streamlined data access while maintaining compliance with all regulatory
requirements.
Data made available via a health data intermediation entity is still considered as originating from several
health data holders. This means that it is not possible for such entities to be designated as trusted health
data holders. Data made available via health data intermediation entities will always go through the
normal application process at the HDAB.
30
Please note that while data intermediation services under Chapter III of the Data Governance Act have a
similar name, their tasks are very different. Those services primarily serve to facilitate voluntary data
sharing in a business-to-business context.

For data users
37. What is considered ‘research’ for EHDS purposes? Can only not-for-profit entities do
‘research’?
The notion of ‘research’ in the EHDS is wide, see recital 61: ‘The notion of scientific research purposes
should be interpreted in a broad manner, including technological development and demonstration,
fundamental research, applied research and privately funded research. Activities related to scientific
research include innovation activities such as training of AI algorithms that could be used in healthcare
or care of natural persons, as well as the evaluation and further development of existing algorithms and
products for such purposes’.
The EHDS Regulation does not distinguish by who does research. Both not-for-profit and for-profit
entities can carry out research. There is no requirement for entities that carry out “research” under the
EHDS be public sector bodies. Entities such as SMEs, startups, and larger companies engaged in
development, innovation, and AI training can indeed be within the scope of "scientific research" under
the EHDS.
This is the same wide notion of ‘research’ as in recital 159 of the GDPR, and it includes research carried
out by private-sector organisations (such as for the ‘training of artificial intelligence algorithms that
could be used in healthcare’, which would often be done by private sector bodies). Activities that are
considered as research under the GDPR should be considered the same under the EHDS.
Sources: Article 53(1) point (e), Recital 61
38. What is HealthData@EU?
HealthData@EU will be the cross-border infrastructure supporting secondary user under the EHDS. It
will provide a federated, Union-wide dataset catalogue that prospective health data users can use to
find datasets for secondary use from holders all over the Union. It will also provide a common
application form that applicants can use to submit multi-country applications. The infrastructure will
then forward the application to the relevant national contact points (who will then distribute it to the
competent HDABs) or to the relevant authorised participant. It will also provide tools for the
cooperation among HDABS, for example to share information on penalties imposed.
As part of HealthData@EU, the Commission will also provide a secure processing environment that can
be used – upon request of two or more national contact points or authorised participants – to make
data available for analysis, in the same way as secure processing environments on the national level.
Sources: Article 75, 63(7); Recital 80
31
39. How will the Data Quality and Utility Label work?
The data quality and utility label will provide greater transparency regarding the quality and utility of
datasets made available for secondary use. This label will help health data users identify high-quality
datasets by offering a general assessment as well as detailed evaluations across various characteristics,
such as documentation and accuracy.
The label can both provide a general assessment of a dataset, with different levels, as well as a more
detailed view by different characteristics (documentation, accuracy…). The details, including the
different levels, will be set out by the Commission in a delegated act.
Labelling will be mandatory for datasets for which data collection was publicly funded (EU or national
funding). This covers datasets for which the funding was specifically for the collection. For other
datasets, providing a data quality and utility label is optional. For example, where public funding is used
to set up a registry for research purposes, the label will be mandatory. Where a hospital receives public
funding for providing treatment, the label will be optional, as the funding is for providing treatment, and
the registration of data is incidental to this task.

For patients / data subjects
40. As an individual, can I opt out from secondary use?
Yes, you do. The EHDS Regulation grants you a right to opt out from secondary use under it.
Once you have opted out of secondary use under the EHDS Regulation, your personal electronic health
data cannot be processed in response to any new data permits or requests approved after the opt-out
date. The Health Data Access Bodies (HDABs) and health data holders must take necessary steps to
ensure that data related to opted-out individuals is excluded from new processing activities. This does
not affect the processing under permits or for generating replies to data requests approved before that
date.
For example, if data, including those of natural person A are made available pursuant to a permit issued
on day X and person A opts out on day X+10 days, the content of the SPE will not change. The effect of
an opt-out is for future data permits and requests. The reason for this is that otherwise, the scientific
integrity of results would be jeopardised – if the data relating to person A were removed from the SPE in
the example above, the health data user would get different results for the same statistical analysis on
day X+9 and X+11. This would make checking the correctness of analyses impossible.
Similarly, using the op-out from secondary use under the EHDS does not affect other reporting
obligations – for example, health professionals will still report notifiable diseases or suspected adverse
reactions to medicinal products to the relevant authorities.
Sources: Article 71, Recital 54
32
41. The right to opt-out in secondary use applies “where personal electronic health data
relating to can be identified in a dataset”. Does this mean that if a
health data holder cannot identify a natural person in a dataset it holds (for example
because it only holds pseudonymised data and cannot link it to the identifiers used to
constitute the opt-out list), the right does not apply? What should health data holders
and HDABs do in such situations?
Regarding the disclosure by the health data holder to the HDAB, this right would not apply then. If a
health data holder cannot identify a natural person in a dataset —such as when the data is
pseudonymised and the holder lacks the ability to link it to identifiers used in an opt-out list— the right
to opt-out in secondary use does not apply. This follows the same logic as in Article 11 GDPR which
states that controllers should not process additional personal data only so that they can comply with
data subject rights.
Please also note that the HDAB may carry out additional steps in preparing the data, which may also
include screening the data against additional attributes that the opted-out person provided or other
information available to the HDAB, but not to the health data holder. In that situation, the data relating
to the person who has opted out would still be disclosed by the health data holder to the HDAB, but the
HDAB would strip out the data when preparing the dataset for making it available in the secure
processing environment (SPE). If also the HDAB cannot identify the person, their data would be included
in the SPE.
To give another example: if a health data holder holds data that might be identifiable (information in a
registry ‘patient with rare disease X, in age group Y, living in municipality Z’), it should not be obliged to
proactively collect additional personal data that it does not need for its own purposes, as that would
create a tension with the data minimisation principle. Please also note that in any case, (attempting)
reidentification is forbidden for health data users.
Sources: Articles 71, 61(3); recital 54
42. Are there exceptions from the right to opt-out in secondary use?
No, the opt-out is a right for all natural persons.
However, in specific exceptional situations the EHDS Regulation allows Member States to create
mechanisms to also make data relating to persons who have opted out available. See Article 71,
paragraphs 4 and following.
The text sets out rules for such mechanisms. Data relating to persons who have opted out can only be
made available where in an individual case:
-
-
-
the purpose of the permit/request application is one of the purposes in Article 53(1)(a) to (c) or
where it is research under Article 53(1)(e), further qualified by a requirement that it be research
for important reasons of public interest.
the health data user is a public sector body or an EUIB, including entities exercising tasks for
them (such as a contractor);
the data cannot be obtained by alternative means in a timely and effective manner;
33
-
the health data applicant has provided the relevant explanations why it wants to use this
exception.
If a Member States has established such a mechanism, prospective health data users can apply for it as
part of the data permit / data request application. It will be for the HDAB to decide whether to allow
this, as part of the data permit / data request decision.
Sources: Article 71, Recital 54
43. Is there a link between the opt-outs in primary and secondary use?
No, they are independent of each other.
When a natural person has used an opt-out in primary use (where it exists - see question 13 above), that
does not mean that the person also automatically opts out from secondary use. The same applies the
other way around. It is possible for a natural person to use one opt-out, but not the other.
For Health Data Access Bodies
44. Is there a limit to how many HDABs a Member State can set up?
No, there is no limit. The text allows Member States to have multiple HDABs, with no limit on how many
HDABs they can designate. The tasks of HDABs can be assigned to multiple entities, for example by
territorial and/or organisational scope.
For example, a Member State with multiple regional healthcare systems might decide to set an HDAB for
each of them. A Member State may also decide to split tasks by function, for example splitting the tasks
of permit/request approval task and of providing secure processing environments into two separate
entities. A Member State might also decide to have sectoral HDABs, splitting competencies by the
different data categories listed in Article 51.
Any entity assigned HDAB tasks and designated as an HDAB must comply with the requirements on
HDABs (e.g. on reporting and funding).
If a Member State designates multiple HDABs, it must appoint one of them as a coordinator. The
coordinator will for example be responsible for collating the activity report.
Sources: Articles 55, 57; Recitals 64, 80
45. Who carries out the pseudonymisation and anonymisation of data? The health data
holder, the HDAB, or both?
Both or either health data holders and Health Data Access Bodies (HDABs) may be involved in the
pseudonymisation and anonymisation of data under the EHDS Regulation.
See recital 72: ‘Taking into account the specific purposes of the processing, personal electronic health
data should be pseudonymised or anonymised as early as possible in the process of making data
available for secondary use. It should be possible for pseudonymisation and anonymisation to be carried
out by health data access bodies or by health data holders.’
34
To give two examples:
1) A data permit is issued for ‘data items A-F relating to procedure G carried out in hospitals H to M
in timeframe X-Z’. In this case, the hospitals as health data holders could already strip out other
data items (such as obvious patient identifiers) when doing the data extraction as a first
pseudonymisation step. The HDAB would then be in contact with the hospitals for the details
and may carry out further pseudonymisation steps.
2) A data permit is issued for ‘data items A-F relating to medical procedures G and P carried out in
hospitals H to M in timeframe X-Z, with data linkage in case patients received medical
procedures G and P in different hospitals’. In this case, as procedures G and P may have been
carried out in different hospitals (possibly without knowledge of each other), it may be
necessary for the hospitals to include some patient identifiers (e.g. health insurance number or
other identifier commonly used in the relevant healthcare system), so that the HDAB can make
the link when preparing the data for provisioning in the SPE. However, those patient identifiers
would not be made available to the health data user, only the information that ‘lines X and Y
refer to the same person’ should be available. The HDAB will be in contact with the hospitals as
health data holders for the details of these operations (such as hashing the identifiers before
disclosure to the HDAB) and may carry out further pseudonymisation steps.
Final responsibility for ensuring proper pseudonymisation and anonymisation rests on the HDAB. That
said, the actual pseudonymisation or anonymisation might also be already carried out by the health data
holder. Ensuring that data is pseudonymised or anonymised as early as possible in the process of making
data available follows the principle of data minimisation.

For authorised participants
46. How can a data infrastructure, e.g. an ERIC or EDIC, become an authorised participant in
HealthData@EU?
When applying for authorised participant status, such data infrastructures will have to go through a
compliance check to see if they meet the relevant requirements. The Commission will set out the
detailed procedures as part of the implementing act under Article 75(12)(b)).
Sources: Article 75(4); Recital 80
47. What does becoming an authorised participant in HealthData@EU mean for a research
infrastructure or other party?
Becoming an authorised participant means that entities can for example federate their data catalogues
with the European dataset catalogue, which will increase the findability of their data. They will also be
able to receive applications through the HealthData@EU infrastructure and may adopt decisions to
grant or refuse access to the data within their remit (provided that their own legal framework grants
them that power). In exchange, they will have to comply with certain rules under EHDS Chapter IV, for
35
example they must provide their data catalogue in the same format as health data access bodies, to
allow federating data catalogues.

Governance (Chapter VI)
48. What is the EHDS Board and what will it do?
The EHDS Board will be the main forum for the Member State and the Commission to facilitate
cooperation and exchange information. The provisions establishing the Board will apply from 26 March
2027.
Member States will designate two representatives each, covering primary and secondary use aspects. A
representative of the Commission will co-chair together with a Member State representative elected
among them.
Its main tasks are to assist Member States in coordinating their practices, to issue written contributions
and exchange best practices on the implementation of the EHDS.
The Board can establish subgroups at working level to prepare these activities.
The Board can also cooperate with other relevant entities, such as ENISA and the EDPB. It can also invite
external experts where appropriate.
The Board (and the steering groups, see question 49 below) will gradually take over the tasks of the
current eHealth Network. During a transition phase until 2031, they will co-exist, with the EHDS Board
taking over as more and more parts of the EHDS will become applicable. As the eHealth Network focuses
on primary use, this transition mainly affects primary use aspects.
Sources: Articles 91, 93, 103; Recital 95
49. What are the steering groups and what are their tasks?
The steering groups operate at an operational level. They are the fora in which practical decisions about
the management and further development of the MyHealth@EU and HealthData@EU infrastructures
will be taken.
Regarding MyHealth@EU, they will gradually take over the tasks of the current governance structure for
infrastructure. During a transition phase until 2031, they will co-exist, with the steering group for
MyHealth@EU taking over as more and more parts of the EHDS will become applicable.
Sources: Article 94; Recital 98
50. What is the stakeholder forum and what will it do?
The stakeholder forum complements the work of the EHDS Board by providing a venue for other
stakeholders, such as healthcare providers, patient organisations, researchers, and industry. It will
facilitate exchange of information promote cooperation with them. It will serve a similar function as the
current eHealth stakeholder group.
Its members will be appointed by the Commission following a public call for expressions of interest.

International aspects (Chapter V)
51. Can third countries participate in the exchanges for primary use?
Yes, but only under certain conditions.
National contact points of third countries that want to join MyHealth@EU can undergo a compliance
check where the Commission checks that legal, organisational, operational, semantic, technical and
cybersecurity measures in such a third country are equivalent to those applicable to the Member States.
When a third country’s national contact point passes this check, the Commission may adopt an
implementing act to connect that national contact point to MyHealth@EU. Member States are involved
in the adoption of such implementing acts.
When a third country joins MyHealth@EU, its healthcare providers (via its national contact point) can
exchange patient summaries and other priority categories the same way as the Member States among
themselves. For example, when an EU citizen needs medical care in such a third country, the treating
health professionals there will be able to retrieve the patient summary. It would also work the other
way around, with health professionals in the EU receiving information from such a third country.
The Commission will keep a public list of third countries’ national contact points connected to
MyHealth@EU. Third country national contact points will not be members of the MyHealth@EU
steering group but they may be invited as observers – operational decisions about the management of
the cross-border infrastructure will always be in the hands of the EU Member States only.
Contact points for relevant systems established at the international level can join MyHealth@EU the
same way.

52. Territorial scope: When will non-EU based entities be subject to health data holders’
obligations? For example, what about a non-EU-based sponsor of a clinical trial that takes
place in the EU?
The EHDS Regulation applies to health data holders established within the European Union. The term
‘health data holder’ is defined as any entity that operates within the health or care sectors, develops
products or services for these sectors, or is an EU institution and meets the other requirements in Article
2(2)(u). The EHDS obligations do not apply to health data holders established in third countries unless
they have an establishment within the EU. For example, a non-EU-based sponsor of a clinical trial
conducted in the EU would not be directly subject to the EHDS obligations unless it has an established
presence within the EU. In such cases, the responsibility for complying with the EHDS obligations would
fall on the EU-based establishment acting as controller or joint controller of the data.
53. Will the EHDS Regulation apply in the EEA countries?
The EHDS Regulation is labelled as having EEA relevance. Like for any act labelled as such, the EFTA
Secretariat will launch the process to incorporate it into the EEA Agreement. For more information on
the process, please see here.
38
Once the EHDS will have been incorporated in the EEA Agreement, its rules will apply in these countries
as well.

54. Can entities established in third countries submit applications for data permits or data
requests?
They can only do so in two situations:
1. Where they are established in a third country that is recognised as providing reciprocal
access to data applicants established within the European Union to health data held by
holders established in that third countries via an implementing act adopted by the
Commission pursuant to Article 90(2) of the EHDS Regulation, or
2. where they are established in a third country that has become an authorised participant
in HealthData@EU pursuant to Article 75(5) of the EHDS Regulation. However, this
possibility will only apply after a transitional period of 10 years from the entry into force
of the EHDS Regulation.
Sources: Articles 75, 90; Recital 94
55. How does the EHDS interact with mechanisms for secondary use established in third
countries?
The EHDS’ mechanisms for secondary use provide for ways of cooperating with third countries. There is
a possibility for third countries to become authorised participants in HealthData@EU (see Article 75(5)
of the EHDS Regulation, which however applies only after a transitional period of 10 years from the
entry into force of the EHDS Regulation). This allows them to for example federate dataset catalogues to
make them searchable together with the European catalogue. Decisions about health data of holders
established within the European Union will always be taken in the EU, never by third countries.

Relation with other Union law
56. How do the EHDS and the GDPR relate to each other?
The GDPR is the main text of Union data protection law. It sets out rights for natural persons whose
personal data are processed and obligations on the controllers and processors who process them. It also
sets up a system of independent supervisory authorities to ensure that those rules are followed.
Regarding primary use, the EHDS complements the rights of natural persons provided by the GDPR
relating to their personal data in specific categories of data relating to health. The EHDS complements
for example natural persons’ right of access to their own data.
Under the GDPR, they can ask for access to their personal data a controller holds about them. This is a
broad right, allowing the person to ask for access to all (or parts of) the personal data that controller
holds about them. To reply to access requests, the controller will have to search for and collate the data
across their organisation. This takes time and effort. That’s why under the GDPR, controllers have up to
a month to reply to access requests and can either refuse to act on or charge a fee for overly repetitive
or manifestly unfounded requests.
However, in the health sector, people often need certain data right now and cannot afford to wait.
That’s why the EHDS establishes an additional targeted right of individuals to freely access certain
categories of their own electronic health data, such as the patient summary. Access needs to be
provided immediately, in practice using a kind of self-service portal. This then removes the need for the
controller / healthcare provider to manually search for and collate the data. That’s why there is no
possibility for them to refuse frequent requests or charge for them.
The supervisory authorities in charge of the GDPR will also monitor the implementation of this new right
under the EHDS.
Regarding controllers’ and processors’ obligations, the EHDS sets out specific tasks for entities
processing personal data.
The GDPR sets out conditions for the lawful processing of personal data – in simple words, ‘what counts
as a valid reason to process personal data?’. The processing of personal electronic health data under the
EHDS fits into these conditions. For example, the processing of personal data in the HDAB’s secure
processing environments will happen based on the task in the public interest assigned to the HDABs by
the EHDS Regulation (Article 6(1)(e) GDPR). Health data holders will make data available to the HDABs
based on a legal obligation established by the EHDS Regulation in conjunction with the individual data
permit (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR).
The GDPR also has specific requirements for lifting the general prohibition on processing special
categories of personal data, such as health data. Often, this requires the implementation of appropriate
safeguards (see e.g. Article 9(2)(j) GDPR). The allowed purposes, the permitting process, the use of
secure processing and other provisions in Chapter IV of the EHDS Regulation are such safeguards laid
down by law and contributing to the safety of the processing operations.

57. How do the EHDS and rules on medical devices relate to each other?
Where the manufacturer of a medical device or in-vitro diagnostic medical device claims interoperability
with the harmonised software components of EHR systems, it must prove compliance with the essential
requirements for the two EHDS harmonised components\ (see question 23 above).
If a product is both an EHR system and a medical device, it must meet the requirements of both
regulations, including registration requirements (in the case of medical devices, it shall be registered in
EUDAMED). As part of implementation, the Commission will work to ensure that the two registrations
can be done in a streamlined way. For registration requirements under the EHDS, see also question 27
above.
Sources: Articles 1(5), 27(1), 49(3); Recitals 42, 51
58. How do the EHDS and the CTR relate to each other?
The EHDS works alongside the Clinical Trials Regulation 536/2014, Clinical Trials Information System
(CTIS) and related legal texts. CTIS serves as a centralized IT platform for the submission, evaluation,
and management of clinical trial application as it is defined in the Clinical Trials Regulation. All relevant
data on clinical trials application are publicly available unless they are personal data or commercial
confidential information.
Sponsors and investigators of clinical trials and investigations as health data users can benefit from a
broad access to relevant data in order to complement or facilitate their work.
As indicated in the EHDS Regulation, it does not affect (regulatory) data protection enjoyed by holders of
marketing authorisations. Data from clinical trials and investigations should only be made available
under the EHDS after the trial or investigation has finished (see recital 56), without prejudice to earlier
voluntary data sharing, and in line with the provisions of the Clinical Trials Regulation.
Sources: Article 1(3), Recitals 56, 60
59. How do the EHDS and the DGA relate to each other?
The Data Governance Act (DGA, Regulation (EU) 2022/868) sets out rules for four main areas:
1) Chapter II: Horizontal rules on how public sector bodies make data available;
2) Chapter III: Rules on data intermediation services;
3) Chapter IV: Rules on data altruism;
4) Chapter V: A possibility to deem certain non-personal data highly sensitive and impose specific
safeguards for transfers of such data to third countries.
These rules interact with the EHDS as follows:
1) The DGA sets out horizontal rules on how public sector bodies make available data that are
protected on grounds of protection of personal data, commercial confidentiality including trade
secrets, statistical confidentiality, and intellectual property rights. It does not however create an
obligation for public sector bodies to make data available. If there is such an obligation, the DGA
41
sets out conditions, for example on the fees that can be charged and the timelines for providing
data. In simple words, the DGA says: ‘if a public sector body (as a data holder) makes protected
data available, here’s how they need to do it’.
The EHDS on the other hand says, ‘health data holders must make these defined data categories
available, and here’s how they need to do it’.
The scope of addressees is different: DGA Chapter II applies to public sector bodies across all
sectors (with some exceptions), while the EHDS applies to health data holders, which can be
both public sector bodies or private sector entities.
The scope of the data covered is different: the DGA in principle applies to all (electronic) data
held by public sector bodies (with some exceptions), while EHDS secondary use rules apply to
the categories of electronic health data listed in Article 51 only, but independently of whether
the holder is a public-sector body or a private entity.
The main difference however are the actual obligations: the DGA does not lay down an
obligation on public sector bodies as data holders to make data available. The EHDS creates an
obligation for health data holders to make the categories of electronic health data listed in
Article 51 available, subject to the conditions and criteria set out in the EHDS, notably the
permitting process.
2) Data intermediation services under the DGA facilitate voluntary sharing of data between
different data holders and/or data subjects. Making data available under the EHDS will be an
obligation on health data holder. Intermediation services under the DGA and health data
intermediation entities under the EHDS are separate concepts. Data intermediation services
under the DGA can complement the structures provided for in the EHDS and support the
collection, sharing or pooling of health data for certain other use cases.
3) Data altruism is a complementary framework to enable the obtaining of e.g. personal health
data for research, in particular from patients, based on consent. In this context, the EHDS
Regulation adds rules in one specific situation: when a data altruism organisation registered
under the DGA makes personal data related to health available in a secure processing
environment, that environment must meet the same requirements as secure processing
environments under the EHDS.
4) The DGA includes an empowerment for delegated acts to provide for safeguards of transfers of
highly sensitive non-personal data held by public sector bodies to third countries. Non-personal
data made available for secondary use under the EHDS qualify as such highly sensitive data
under certain circumstances (see Article 87(1)). For such cases, protective measures shall be
detailed in a delegated act under the DGA.

60. How do the EHDS and the Data Act relate to each other?
The Data Act (DA, Regulation (EU) 2023/2854) sets out rules for the following topics:
1) business to consumer and business to business data sharing;
2) Contractual data sharing;
3) Emergency access to data by public sector bodies and certain EUIBs;
4) Requirements on data processing services.
42
They interact with the EHDS as follows:
1) Internet-of-Things (Chapter II of the Data Act): The rules on data sharing in Chapter II of the Data
Act create a requirement that connected products and related services be designed in a way
that ‘product data and related service data, including the relevant metadata necessary to
interpret and use those data, are, by default, easily, securely, free of charge, in a
comprehensive, structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and, where relevant
and technically feasible, directly accessible to the user’ and set out rules for the sharing of such
data. They apply in the relation between the manufacturer/provider of such products/services
and their customer who may be a consumer or a professional. In short, users have the right to
receive such data and to share it with third parties of their choosing, under certain conditions.
Where an EHR system or a medical device, including related apps, qualifies as a connected
product / related service, those requirements will apply to it. It’s important to note that these
requirements are about data sharing data on the initiative of the user – for example sharing
telemetry data of a device with a third party for additional analytics. Patients may in certain
situations request the porting of health data from connected diagnostic or therapeutic
equipment which they own or rent at their own expense in a primary use (Chapter II EHDS)
situation but there is no possibility for compensation between healthcare providers sending and
receiving data (Article 18 EHDS). Patients may also wish to make available health data from
connected diagnostic or therapeutic equipment which they own or rent at their own expense
voluntarily for the purpose of research and innovation (“data altruism”, see previous question)
and are then not bound by the data categories and usage categories foreseen in Chapter IV
EHDS.
2) Chapter III of the Data Act: The rules on obligations for data holders obliged to make data
available pursuant to Union and national law in the Data Act apply to data sharing in a business-
to-business context. Making data available for secondary use under the EHDS is not business-
to-business data sharing under the Data Act. However, for the settlement of disputes on the
level of fees, Article 62(4) of the EHDS establishes that health data holders and users shall have
access to dispute settlement bodies in accordance with Article 10 of the Data Act. Emergency
Access to Data (Chapter V of the Data Act): The rules on emergency access to data by public
sector bodies and certain EUIBs in Chapter V of the Data Act are formulated as a ’last resort’
possibility. Secondary use under the EHDS is not emergency access under the Data Act.
Emergency access under the Data Act can only be used where there is no other feasible other
channel to have the data be made available. The rules on secondary use in the EHDS provide for
exactly such a channel. Where secondary use under the EHDS can provide a feasible channel to
make data available, emergency access under the Data Act is not an option. However, in cases
where Data Act emergency access is used, health data access bodies under the EHDS may
provide support (Article 51(2)).
3) Data Processing Services (Chapter VI of the Data Act): The requirements on data processing
services in Chapter VI of the Data Act relate to providers of such services, such as cloud hosting
providers, and impose requirements on them to make it easier for their clients to switch away
from them. Where a SPE provider provides its services in a way that they also qualify as a data
processing services under the Data Act, the obligations established there also apply to it in its
relationship with its customer (e.g. an HDAB that has contracted out the provision of a SPE).
43
To give an example: in the Data Act, data processing services are defined as (among other
elements) providing access to a ‘shared pool of configurable, scalable and elastic computing
resources’. If a SPE provider provides an SPE in such a way, then it is in scope of Chapter VI Data
Act for its relation to the HDAB as its customer. If a SPE provider provides an SPE using a
dedicated server for a customer (as opposed to a shared pool), that service is out scope for
Chapter VI Data Act.

61. How do the EHDS and the Artificial Intelligence Act relate to each other?
The European Health Data Space (EHDS) Regulation and the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act, Regulation
(EU) 2024/1689) intersect in cases where an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system incorporates AI
functionalities. A product may fall under both the AI Act and the EHDS: imagine an EHR system that not
only documents treatment, but also includes an AI system that provides emergency triage functions (see
Annex II, point 5(d) AI Act). Such a system would then be subject both to requirements for high-risk AI
systems under the AI Act, and for EHR systems under the EHDS. In such cases, the conformity
assessment procedures should be organised in a way that limits administrative burden on
manufacturers (see recital 42 EHDS).
One way in which the EHDS itself already limits such burden are the rules on registering EHR systems: if
an EHR system is also a high-risk AI system and thus needs to be registered in the EU database for high-
risk AI systems (see Article 71 AI Act), the two registrations can be done in a streamlined way.

3. **Serves** **4-5**
### Ham Hock Preparation
- **1.4kg** smoked ham hock, skin peeled off
- **1 onion**, peeled
- **440ml** cider
- **1 tsp black peppercorns**
- **120g** dijon mustard, plus extra to serve
- **3-4 tbsp** soft dark brown sugar
For the lentils:
- **3 tbsp** olive oil, plus extra to finish
- **1 medium onion**, peeled and diced
- **2 carrots**, peeled and diced
- **2 celery sticks**, finely diced
- **Salt and black pepper**
- **2 garlic cloves**, peeled and finely chopped
- **2 bay leaves**
- **1 tbsp harissa**
- **400g** green lentils
- **1 large handful** fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- **Juice and grated zest** of ½ **lemon**
1. **Preheat** the oven to 200C (180C fan)/390F/gas 6. Spoon enough mustard over the hock to cover it generously, then pat the sugar all over it, too. Reserve 500ml of the braising liquid for the lentils, then pour enough of the remaining liquid into the dish around, but not touching, the ham, to fill it by several inches. Roast for 40-50 minutes, until the meat is caramelised on the outside and tender and falling apart underneath. Turn off the oven, cover the meat with foil and leave in the oven with the door ajar to keep warm.
2. **Reserve the braising liquid** and transfer the ham to a rack in a roasting dish.
3. **Heat the oven** to 200C (180C fan)/390F/gas 6. Spoon enough mustard over the hock to cover it generously, then pat the sugar all over it, too. Reserve 500ml of the braising liquid for the lentils, then pour enough of the remaining liquid into the dish around, but not touching, the ham, to fill it by several inches. Roast for 40-50 minutes, until the meat is caramelised on the outside and tender and falling apart underneath. Turn off the oven, cover the meat with foil and leave in the oven with the door ajar to keep warm.
4. **Transfer the ham** to a rack in a roasting dish.
5. **Cook** the hock for 90 minutes, turning down the heat to a simmer and allowing it to cook gently.
6. **Drain** the ham and remove any excess salt from it.
7. **Drain the ham** and reserve the braising liquid.
## For the Lentils
- **3 tbsp** olive oil, plus extra to finish
- **1 medium onion**, peeled and diced
- **2 carrots**, peeled and diced
- **2 celery sticks**, finely diced
- **Salt and black pepper**
- **2 garlic cloves**, peeled and finely chopped
- **2 bay leaves**
- **1 tbsp harissa**
- **400g green lentils**
- **1 large handful fresh parsley**, roughly chopped
- **Juice and grated zest** of ½ **lemon**
1. **Roast** the lentils in a saucepan over a high heat, then turn down the heat to medium, pour in the olive oil, and saute the onion, carrots, and celery for 10 minutes, until soft and translucent.
2. **Season** with salt and pepper, then stir in the garlic and bay leaves, and cook for a few minutes.
3. Add the harissa and lentils, stir for another minute, then pour in the reserved braising liquid and 500ml of water, and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to a low simmer and cook, covered, for 25-30 minutes, until the lentils are tender.
4. They should be brothy; if they look dry, loosen with a few more ladles of the ham cooking water. Season with salt and pepper, some lemon juice, and a few tablespoons of olive oil, then stir in most of the parsley.
1. **Freeze** the lentils in a suitable container (stirring every half an hour, for about two hours, until it starts to thicken).
2. Stir in the reserved 140g praline and freeze again, stirring every half-hour, for another two hours-plus, until set.
3. (If you have an ice-cream machine, simply churn the custard with the praline until set.)
## To Serve
- Ladle the lentils into bowls and lay slices of the ham to one side of them.
- Spoon over some creme fraiche and a dollop of mustard, then scatter over the remaining parsley and a little lemon zest.
- Season with lots of black pepper and serve with steamed greens or a crisp salad.
## Toasted Pecan Praline Sundae
- **Toasted pecans** seasoned with burnt, salty sugar transform vanilla-scented ice-cream into a crazily good pudding.
### Preparation
- **Prep** **5 min**
- **Cook** **50**
- **Freeze** **4 hr+**
- **Serves** **8-10**
### Ingredients for the Pecan Praline Sundae
- **360ml** whole milk
- **360ml** double cream
- **1 tsp** vanilla extract, or 1 vanilla pod, split
- **5 large egg yolks**
- **40g** golden caster sugar
- **¼** **tsp** salt
- **200g** condensed milk
### For the Pecan Praline
- **200g** pecans
- **100g** golden caster sugar
- **½** **tsp fine sea salt**
1. **Warm** the milk, cream, and vanilla in a medium saucepan. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and salt until light and fluffy, then pour in the warm milk, whisking as you do so. Pour the mix back into the saucepan.
2. **Wash the egg yolk bowl**, tip in the condensed milk, and set aside. Put the custard pan back on a medium heat and cook, stirring regularly, until it thickens to the consistency of double cream and coats the back of the spoon. (You can raise the heat to speed up the process, but keep stirring and be careful that the mix doesn’t curdle.)
- Brush the custard with the remaining condensed milk, then pop in the fridge to cool.
3. **Heat the oven** to 180C (160C fan)/350F/gas 4. Scatter the pecans over a baking tray and toast for 12-14 minutes, until golden.
- Line a second tray with silicon or baking paper.
4. **Preheat** the oven to 200C (180C fan)/390F/gas 4. Meanwhile, put the sugar, salt, and two tablespoons of water in a small saucepan over a medium-high heat and swirl to melt the sugar. Once the sugar has melted, let it simmer while swirling the pan to distribute the darkening patches. Once the caramel is smelling deliciously toasted and is an even dark brown, pour it over the lined tray and leave somewhere cool to set for about 10 minutes. Once set, tip into a food processor and blitz to breadcrumbs. Weigh out 140g and put the rest in a serving bowl.
5. **Freeze the custard** in suitable container, stirring every half an hour, for about two hours, until it starts to thicken, then stir in the reserved 140g praline and freeze again, stirring every half-hour, for another two hours-plus, until set.
- (If you have an ice-cream machine, simply churn the custard with the praline until set.)
6. **Serve the ice-cream** in small bowls topped with a sprinkling of extra praline, with the rest in a bowl at the table. Hot chocolate sauce is always a good extra, too.

I’ve set myself a project to wear the neglected items in my wardrobe – from a crimson silk skirt to a mustard coat.
I’ve set myself a project to wear the neglected items in my wardrobe – from a crimson silk skirt to a mustard coat.
Like lots of us, I hate seeing stuff go to waste. I go to unnecessary lengths to make dinners using up whatever is in the fridge. I tell myself this is because it is healthier and more sustainable than takeout, but it’s also a kind of mental game to me, to use everything up. Odds and ends in the salad drawer unsettle me, like missing pieces in a jigsaw puzzle, and I have to find a place for them. Even if I suspect no one is going to be hounding me for my celery and beetroot risotto recipe, I find these dishes strangely satisfying.
The key to finding your way back to clothes you feel disconnected from is to try to relocate the spark that drew you to them in the first place.
### Comfy, alpha and a little bit French: the return of the Little Boxy Jacket | Jess Cartner-Morley on fashion
This helped me with the yellow dress, because I realised that what it represented to me was getting dressed up – unnecessarily dressed up – for the kind of little outings I might do during the day at the weekend that could perfectly well be done in jeans and a jumper but would feel more of an occasion if dressed up for. I’m trying this, and you know what? That lady in the changing room, she was on to something. There is something oddly life-affirming about wearing a fancy pastel dress to go out and buy tomatoes.
Sometimes what you figure out is simply that you made a mistake. This is useful to know, because once you’ve faced that fact, you can stick it on the charity pile and move on. (Note to self: never, ever buy anything in an airport. Always a mistake, usually an expensive one.) But often, what the clothes you buy but don’t wear teach you is that over time your taste has changed, and your retail instincts haven’t quite caught up. You still reach automatically for pieces that feel as if they belong to someone familiar – but that person isn’t the current version of you. If this is happening, you need to bring your retail instincts up to date.
What this looks like for me is that as I get older I wear colour a lot less, but the magpie in me is still drawn to colourful clothes. I am going to be mindful of not shopping for the person I was 15 years ago. But in the meantime, I am interrogating my slide into beige and working on getting back in touch with my inner rainbow dresser.
At the very least, there is wisdom to be gleaned from the clothes that feel like mistakes. As the saying goes: sometimes you win, and sometimes you learn. Oh, and guess what I’m wearing today?

Sex is still a taboo topic for my Chinese immigrant baby boomer parents, but I’ve discovered it’s never too late to have ‘the talk’.
Sitting in a cafe in Sydney recently, I heard a line that I would never have expected to hear from Dad, a dull, quiet, introverted Chinese man in his late 60s who can be quite conservative and stubborn, especially when it comes to dating.
“When you hang out with boys and go on dates, don’t forget to use condoms to protect yourself.”
I didn’t follow the love life of Dad’s ex-colleague as I was still in shock that Dad, who turned 68 last year, had just given me a sex education talk. I was 27 years old, and I had been on and off in the dating world for years. Wasn’t it a bit too late to teach me the importance of condoms?
Looking serious, he went on to tell me that using protection can not only prevent pregnancy, but also sexually transmitted infections. “When I was in my 20s, a colleague of mine in the factory met a woman …”
I didn’t follow the love life of Dad’s ex-colleague as I was still in shock that Dad, who turned 68 last year, had just given me a sex education talk. I was 27 years old, and I had been on and off in the dating world for years. Wasn’t it a bit too late to teach me the importance of condoms?
I know how challenging it is for Dad to even mention the word “condom” in front of me. Despite the rapidly developing internet culture and social progression in China, sex is still a taboo for my parents’ generation. Nor was there adequate sex education in China when I was growing up. The only time we would touch on the topic of sex was year 8 biology class, when we were taught about reproduction and pregnancy from a medical perspective. Dating was seen as a disturbance to academic progress in many Chinese schools, and harsh punishments – including suspension – could be imposed if a student got caught.
But just like other teenagers curious about their bodies and the world, I was good at finding what I wanted to learn on the internet. My elder brother, who once saw my search history, complained about this to my parents. But since they still had to turn to me for technological support, there was little way my baby boomer parents could stop my secret navigation into the world of love and intimacy.
As I got older, the consequences of lacking a comprehensive education about sex and relationships gradually emerged as I began navigating romance. I did later learn about safe sex and sexual consent, as well as big topics such as domestic violence and sexual abuse.
But I didn’t have enough resources to master the skill set embedded in the principles of Respectful Relationships Education programs that are now rolled out across Australia: to develop and maintain positive and healthy relationships with those around them.
In the past four years, I have failed to pick up red flags of toxic relationships while, in the eyes of some ex-dates, I was the problem.
I assume my parents, who have heard so much about my heartbreaks over the phone in China, had been planning to have some conversations with me. For instance, Mum once told me that before marrying Dad, she went on dates with him for three years yet didn’t find out Dad was a heavy smoker until they got married. Shocked at first, she decided to accept Dad fully, including the hobby she disliked. Mum said she didn’t know the “fashionable” way or “the right word” to summarise what she meant but I knew her message.
In fact, since I began reporting on sex education in 2021, I have encountered many parents from culturally and linguistically diverse communities who told me they wanted to talk about sex and dating with their children after the national sexual consent campaign led by Chanel Contos. However, many struggled to find resources for themselves to prepare for the talk.
And, on many occasions, CALD parents and sex educators found they have to challenge the conservative stereotype of CALD communities, so that they can secure funding and resources from governments and schools. It was assumed that CALD parents would feel offended if it was found their children learn about sex and dating at school. However, what I had been told by sex educators and parents of various cultural communities is that sometimes they wanted the school to also give them a workshop, so that they could continue the sex education talks at home.
Looking back, I wish I’d had more conversations about love and intimacy with my parents. But it’s not too late. I am still exploring the dating scene and I would love to learn more about and from my parents. I’m not sure if we would bring up the topics of condoms again at our next dinner but I know many years later, when talking about my parents, I will recall that on a sunny afternoon in a Sydney cafe my parents and I had one of the best conversations in life.

Jy2HUcS3Gy- | https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgw1nklxezo | # Duterte's first night in ICC custody is a pivotal moment for the court
Outside the International Criminal Court's (ICC) detention centre, where former Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte has been taken, his supporters gathered on Wednesday night, waving national flags and shouting, "Bring him back!" as a vehicle thought to be carrying him was driven through the imposing iron gates at speed.
Shortly before he landed in the Netherlands, the 79-year-old unapologetically defended his bloody "war on drugs" for which the ICC says there are "reasonable grounds" to charge him with murder as a crime against humanity.
Small-time drug dealers, users, and others were killed without trial on his watch as mayor and, later, as president.
The official toll stands at 6,000, though activists believe the real figure could run into the tens of thousands.
Duterte said he cracked down on drug dealers to rid the country of street crimes.
However, rights groups allege that the campaign was rife with police abuse, targeting young men from the urban poor.
Duterte is the first Asian former head of state to be indicted by the ICC - and the first suspect to be flown to The Hague in three years.
And his arrival comes at a pivotal moment for the International Criminal Court.
## How did Rodrigo Duterte end up in a jail cell?
Rodrigo Duterte's arrest and deportation on Monday was the result of an unprecedented chain of events.
His supporters allege that the ICC is being used as a political tool by the country's current president Ferdinand Marcos who has publicly fallen out with the powerful Duterte family.
The ICC is a court of last resort designed to hold the most powerful to account when domestic courts are unable or unwilling to do so. But this case is a reminder of the extent to which it depends on state co-operation in order to fulfil its mandate - it effectively has no power to arrest people without the co-operation of the countries they are in, which is most often refused.
In the case of Duterte, chances that he would ever be prosecuted by the ICC seemed unthinkable even in 2022, when his daughter, Vice-President Sara Duterte, allied with Marcos to create the powerful "uniteam" that swept presidential elections.
Up until a few months ago, Marcos had dismissed the idea of co-operating with the ICC.
But the pace at which Duterte was served an arrest warrant and extradited shows that when political winds shift, those once considered untouchable can find themselves touching down in The Hague.
Duterte will spend his 80th birthday in the ICC's detention facility, located in the dunes of The Hague.
The whole process of his extradition - from his detention in Manila to his arrival in The Hague - has been documented on social media by his daughter Kitty and Duterte himself through his aide. His plane was the most tracked on flight radar.
"I am the one who led our law enforcement and military. I said that I will protect you and I will be responsible for all of this," he said on a Facebook video, one of many that was shared over more than 24 hours during his journey from Manila to The Hague.
It provided rare insight into what is usually an opaque process, and the world was able to follow, sometimes in real time, every step of it right down to the meals Duterte was served on board his chartered jet.
## A much-needed win for the ICC?
Duterte's arrest now sends a strong signal that even powerful individuals may be held accountable for their actions, potentially deterring future abuses.
His case has also reignited debate about the ICC's role in relation to national sovereignty, a concern often raised by non-member states like the United States, Russia, and China.
The court depends on its 128 members to fund and be the operational arm of this judicial body.
So Duterte's headline-making arrival, followed by his first night in custody at The Hague, offer the court a much-needed win.
After serving two high-profile arrest warrants – one for the Russian president Vladimir Putin, and another for Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the war in Gaza – which are unlikely to be enforced, the arrival of Duterte will be put forth as proof the court is capable of bringing those accused of the gravest atrocities to face justice.
It is a litmus test for the ICC's ability to function effectively in an increasingly polarised climate.
ICC prosecutor Karim Khan was recently sanctioned by Donald Trump over the arrest warrant issued for Benjamin Netanyahu.
The detention of Duterte provides him with a powerful response.
"Many say international law is not strong," Karim Khan acknowledged. "But international law is not as weak as some may think. When we come together, when we build partnerships, the rule of law can prevail."
The former Philippines president will now mark his 80th birthday this month in the ICC's detention facility, located in the dunes of The Hague.
The facility, once a Nazi prison complex, provides each detainee with a private cell, access to computers, a library, and sports facilities.
If he isn't satisfied with the meals provided, Duterte has the option to prepare his own food using a shopping list in the detention center's kitchen. He will also have access to medical care, lawyers, and visitors.
He is expected to make his initial court appearance in the coming days, where he will confirm his identity, choose the language he wishes to follow proceedings in, and acknowledge the charges against him.
Following this public appearance, a confirmation of charges hearing will follow, during which the judges will decide whether the prosecution has presented a sufficient amount of evidence to proceed to trial.
If the charges are confirmed, it could be many months before he eventually goes on trial, and years before a final judgment.

Today’s Jeddah summit will be crucial. But so too is the need for European unity to counter Russian aggression now, and deter it in the future
* Andriy Yermak is head of the Ukrainian presidential office

---
As , a ceasefire in the three-year war the Russian Federation has waged on my country has never seemed closer. Recent talks between Ukraine and its partners have given rise to great hope that the Ukrainian people will very soon return to the peaceful lives that they enjoyed before the war began in 2014 or the extreme escalation since 2022.
I believe that together with strong American leadership we can reach this goal. The prospect of peace – long hoped for – forces every Ukrainian to reflect on our shared gratitude, concern and determination. Gratitude for the support and confidence that we have received in recent years, concern for the future of Europe and determination to reaffirm Ukraine’s democratic, European convictions. No one wants the war to end more than our people – but a peace must be found that is both just and sustainable.
A ceasefire in Ukraine will not come through diplomatic gestures alone. A number of conditions are crucial beforehand in order to ensure that peace – when it comes – is lasting. This includes putting political and financial pressure on to raise the cost of renewed conflict.
First, Ukraine must be given security guarantees that lend credibility to a future ceasefire agreement. Second, Europe must act decisively to strengthen and increase the sanctions against Russia. And third, Europe should take control of the frozen Russian assets to enable continued and increased support for Ukraine. Last week’s proves that Europe – when united – can take control of its own security and destiny. It is our concern for lasting European security that drives Ukraine’s insistence on these conditions. Moscow’s decade-long aggression against Ukraine cannot be taken lightly – the leaders of Europe recognise this and we call on them at this critical time to deliver on the promising discussions in Brussels last Thursday.
The growing recognition of the need to enhance European strategic autonomy on defence, backed up by fiscal flexibility on defence spending, is an important step. Europe’s decision to for member-state defence spending is critical. This – combined with a potential €20bn for Ukraine’s defence – will make a tangible contribution to establishing a robust defence architecture for the whole of Europe.

Credible deterrence will help to ensure that any ceasefire has the best chances of becoming a lasting peace. cannot allow a ceasefire that serves only to allow Russia to rearm, rebuild its forces and come back for more Ukrainian lands and resources.
The EU has just approved its , hitting key sectors such as imports of aluminium and broadening export restrictions. This economic pressure must be maintained – to strengthen all of our economic autonomy.
Stronger sanctions will close loopholes in the financial system, preventing European businesses and institutions from indirectly funding Russia’s war machine, while also setting a precedent for dealing with future threats. In the long run, Europe’s decreased dependency on Russia will bring geopolitical strength and market stability. this year. We are grateful for this commitment to our future and economic recovery.
Yet one of the most potent tools in Europe’s arsenal is the held in western financial institutions. These resources should remain under embargo, with profits used to sustain Ukraine’s financial recovery. Allowing Russia to reclaim these funds after its war of aggression would have catastrophic consequences.
We greatly appreciate the generosity of the US and its efforts to achieve peace for Ukraine. But European unity is no less important in this process. Only together can we build a security architecture that will guarantee peace and prosperity for generations to come.
A stronger, safer and more resilient Europe – militarily, politically and economically – is our shared goal. Securing a meaningful ceasefire is the first step. This requires a Europe that is economically and politically resilient. Europe must be prepared to act to deliver its own security, and Russia must understand the political and economic cost of using force to achieve its ends.

V6uaC3yZSXz | https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/mar/10/bundesliga-failures-bayern-munich-bayer-leverkusen | # Farcical failures for Bundesliga big boys underline European pressures
## Introduction
After all the big moments, the daring comebacks, the thrilling crescendos, it felt like they had finally run out of road. Having both been substituted, Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong sat on the visitors’ bench at the Allianz Arena as time ticked down, a seat apart, both yelling, maybe at each other, maybe just into the ether. Finally Wirtz covered his face with his hands.
Of all the images of between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, this was the one that stuck. Frustration is to be expected, particularly in the dying embers of a bad defeat against a domestic and European rival, but this was something that we have rarely seen from Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen. Setbacks happen, but he and his players have always maintained their poise, knowing that their path is the right one and that an answer is coming. This time? Maybe not.
## Context
Fast forward and that feeling is even more entrenched. Saturday’s home loss to Werder Bremen was not only a surprise but a second successive defeat in which Leverkusen looked far from themselves. Worse still, it was a day on which they could have feasibly breathed new life into the title race, given Bayern’s own home defeat – barely believably, against Bochum. Yes, Bochum have improbably caused Bayern a few problems in recent years, beating them twice at Vonovia Ruhrstadion (although Vincent Kompany’s team swept to a 5-0 win there in autumn), but this was on Bayern’s patch. Two of Bochum’s last three visits to Munich had ended in 7-0 defeats. If Kompany was going to change almost an entire starting lineup before a Champions League match of capital importance, this felt like a safe time to do it.
Instead, the gap at the top remains eight points and – improbably after such a shambolic display – Bayern go into Tuesday’s trip north further buoyed, as well as with their 3-0 lead. Bild’s headline – “Embarrassing Bayern laugh at Leverkusen” – summed it up. The champions were given the assist of dreams and were unable to profit. The eight-point gap, fatal as it may prove to _Die Werkself_’s chances of retaining their title, never felt like it was knocking them off course. Now the faith is really being tested, with the coach even openly questioning himself.
*Bayer Leverkusen 0-2 Werder Bremen, Bayern Munich 2-3 Bochum, Borussia Dortmund 0-1 Augsburg, Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-3 Mainz, Eintracht Frankfurt 1-2 Union Berlin, Freiburg 0-0 RB Leipzig, Hoffenheim 1-1 Heidenheim, Holstein Kiel 2-2 Stuttgart, Wolfsburg 1-1 St Pauli*

## Talking points
### Team Performance
After taking over a team with just a solitary point by the start of November and losing three of his first four games in charge, Hecking has gradually transformed Bochum’s prospects, with the helping hand of two points confirmed to be added on last week after the missile-throwing incident at Union Berlin. On the pitch, Hecking’s previous no-hopers have now taken 16 points from the last 12 games, moving them up into the relegation playoff spot.
### Team Progress
New shirts, same old show for Dortmund. The new neon special jersey recalling their 1997 Champions League winners was debuted at home to Augsburg, but the miserable performance which produced a 1-0 defeat underlined that it will take more than a kit change to inspire this team before the return with Lille on Wednesday – at this point, it seems futile to talk about the Bundesliga’s top four, with BVB seven points adrift and glued to 10th place. Niko Kovac already seems at a bit of a loss, sending his players on a long run in Sunday training after a match in which they created next to nothing. At present, it feels like their trip to northern France might be their last Euro jaunt for a while.
### Team Performance
Leipzig are benefiting from BVB’s continuing woes, a 0-0 draw at Freiburg leaving them three points behind fourth place but extending their current sequence to 339 minutes without scoring away. Marco Rose is still in situ for now but another setback against Dortmund next weekend would be hard to surmount.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bodies of Gene Hackman, wife Betsy Arakawa discovered at their Santa Fe home on Feb. 26
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By
Published March 6, 2025 2:02pm EST
, wife Betsy Arakawa and one of their dogs were found dead in their Santa Fe home more than one week ago.
Detectives described their deaths as "suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation," according to a search warrant affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital.
Officials confirmed that no external trauma was seen on either Hackman or Arakawa, and authorities promptly launched a criminal investigation into their deaths. The case remains open pending autopsy and toxicology results.

### Feb. 28 - Detectives work on "reverse timeline"
Authorities have not yet determined when . During a press conference on Friday, Feb. 28, Sheriff Adan Mendoza admitted that the department was piecing together a timeline to determine their last steps.
"One of the things is, in an investigation, we try to piece the timeline together, usually before the event happens, and that gives us a lot of information," Mendoza said. "But in this case, it seems like we're doing a reverse timeline."
Mendoza added, "We're doing a timeline from the time of death and the autopsy and the results. We're going to start working our way backwards. We're going to do both and then hopefully make a determination as to what may have happened to both of the individuals."

### Feb. 28 - Test results
negative for carbon monoxide, Mendoza confirmed during a press conference Friday, Feb. 28. Their residence was tested for the colorless, odorless gas and was cleared by the Santa Fe City Fire Department after authorities found no evidence of a carbon monoxide leak or poisoning.
Sheriffs released a search warrant inventory list detailing items retrieved from the Santa Fe home. According to the documents obtained by Fox News Digital, investigators listed two cell phones, MyQuest records, a 2025 planner, thyroid medication, blood pressure medication and Tylenol.
An orange prescription bottle was found near Hackman's wife, according to the search warrant affidavit. It appeared to be open, with pills scattered on the countertop.
### Feb. 26 - Hackman, Arakawa bodies discovered
on Wednesday, Feb. 26, by maintenance workers Jesse Kesler and Roland Lowe Begay. Kesler, who had worked as a personal contractor for the couple for 16 years, made the frantic 911 call.

Arakawa was found lying on the floor in the bathroom of the couple's home near a space heater, showing "obvious signs of death," according to the search warrant affidavit. Hackman's body was discovered in the mudroom nearby. His cane and sunglasses were near his body.
Authorities revealed that Arakawa's body had been found decomposed with bloating on her face and mummification in her hands and feet. Hackman was also found to have the same signs of decomposition as his wife.
The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department revealed that autopsies were completed, and no external trauma was seen on either the actor or the musician.

### Feb. 26 - Dwindling death theories
The New Mexico Gas Company confirmed on Tuesday "it conducted an extensive investigation for gas leaks and carbon monoxide" Feb. 26 and made "no significant findings" at the couple's secluded home, in a release obtained by Fox News Digital.
The gas company did note there was "a minuscule leak (0.33% gas in air – not a lethal amount) at one of the stove burners." Additionally, there were four "red tags" for code enforcement violations, involving "a water heater and gas log lighters installed in three fireplaces."
was tested for carbon monoxide Feb. 26, shortly after the bodies were discovered. The Santa Fe City Fire Department cleared the home after finding no evidence of a carbon monoxide leak or poisoning. New Mexico Gas Company also responded and found "no signs or evidence" of problems with pipes in or around Hackman's home.
### Feb. 17 - Pacemaker activity
that the last recorded activity on Hackman's pacemaker occurred on Feb. 17. Authorities assumed this was Hackman's last day alive, as the Oscar winner's body was not discovered for nine more days.
"According to the pathologist, I think that is a very good assumption that that was his last day of life," Mendoza said.

Though scientist was not thought to be a great drinker, he may have used beer as an ingredient in the homemade ink in which he wrote his greatest work.
Isaac Newton has long been a familiar figure in museums around the world. Now, one of the famed scientist’s most prized possessions is due to go on display for the first time in 160 years: his beer mug.
The wooden mug will be on public display at the , in central London, from 4 March, alongside items including Newton’s greatest work, the Principia_,_ and the scientist’s death mask, which was prepared shortly after his death to serve as a likeness for sculptures.
The exhibition is the culmination of 20 years of work by the scientist Carmichael Wallace and the historian Stephen Snobelen, who pieced together the mug’s history through letters, genealogical records, family wills, magazines, newspapers, and even a poem.
Their research suggests that Newton only drank beer sparingly and instead, the mug points to his use of the beverage in his work. The duo’s workings suggest that his best-known work, the Principia_,_ may have been written in his homemade ink in which beer was a key ingredient.
Newton gave the wooden flagon – a type commonly used for beer-drinking – to his roommate of 20 years, John Wickins, who also acted as his occasional laboratory assistant. The mug was found with other belongings at his home at Trinity College, Cambridge.
Their research also highlights Newton’s beer-related experiments, which included the study of fermentation, as well as his use of beer in the writing ink, which is still readable today in his notebooks and correspondence. Newton wrote two ink recipes, both likely penned in his beer-based ink.
Less is known about Newton’s drinking habits. According to his lab assistant, Humphrey Newton, Isaac drank beer and ale with meals and only sparingly. However, there are many references to beer, ale, cider, and wine in Newton’s surviving papers, including household inventories, as well as discussions on the best variety of apples to produce good cider in his correspondence with Henry Oldenburg. Newton recommended redstreaks.
Snobelen said: “The mug was venerated by the Wickins family because it was owned by Newton. It was a kind of holy relic.
“Although chemical analysis of the ink in Newton’s voluminous manuscript corpus has yet to be carried out, many 17-century authors used beer as a solvent in their homemade writing ink. Newton’s two surviving ink recipes confirm that he followed in this craft, at least while he was at Cambridge.”
Keith Moore, the head of library and archives at the Royal Society, said: “We like to reflect upon past science, but a beery vision of Sir Isaac Newton is a new one for the Royal Society. According to his friends, the great man could be quite convivial, but I can’t see him drinking too much from his flagon while fermenting his head-spinning ideas – as a scientist, Newton was no mug.”
The wooden “pint flagon” – as James Wickins, John’s grandson, called it in the Gentleman’s Magazine in 1802 – was publicly exhibited on at least three occasions, last in 1865.
Newton was elected to the Royal Society in 1672, 12 years after its founding, and was its president from 1703 until his death in 1727.

## Texas megachurch founder faces charges of lewd acts with a child
The Texas megachurch founder and pastor Robert Morris has been indicted on five criminal counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, from incidents that occurred in Oklahoma in the 1980s.
A multi-county grand jury issued an indictment on 12 March, which alleges Morris was a traveling evangelist visiting in Hominy, Oklahoma, with the family of the alleged victim in December 1982. The indictment alleges Morris’s sexual misconduct began that Christmas and continued over four years. The alleged victim was 12 years old at the time and Morris was 21 years old.
Morris was a member of Donald Trump’s spiritual advisory committee and Evangelical Executive Advisory Board during his first presidential term and part of an effort to mobilize conservatives and evangelicals in support of Trump’s 2024 presidential bid. He also hosted an appearance by Trump at Gateway church in June 2020.
In 2024, following Morris’s resignation, the Trump campaign said Morris had no role in the campaign.
He was also tapped by the Texas governor, Greg Abbott, in 2017 to support a so-called “bathroom bill” that sought to ban transgender people from using their preferred bathroom.
“There can be no tolerance for those who sexually prey on children,” said the Oklahoma attorney general, Gentner Drummond, in a press release. “This case is all the more despicable because the alleged perpetrator was a pastor who exploited his position. The victim in this case has waited far too many years for justice to be done.”
Morris, 63, resigned last year as senior pastor of Gateway church, one of the largest megachurches in the US. The church experienced a sharp drop in donations following the revelations of the abuse and a class action lawsuit. That lawsuit, filed against the church, alleged financial fraud stemming from reports that only $3m of its $100m in annual revenue went to global ministries.
According to a leaked phone transcript, Morris attempted to bribe the victim in 2005, who he confessed to sexually assaulting. Morris told the victim, who revealed herself as Cindy Clemishire, to “put a price on it”. The transcript allegedly shows Clemishire requested $2m before Morris hung up the phone.
“After almost 43 years, the law has finally caught up with Robert Morris for the horrific crimes he committed against me as a child,” Clemishire said of the indictment of Morris in a text message on the indictment provided by Clemishire’s attorney to the Texas Tribune.
“Now, it is time for the legal system to hold him accountable. My family and I are deeply grateful to the authorities who have worked tirelessly to make this day possible and remain hopeful that justice will ultimately prevail.”
In November 2024, Gateway church removed four elders following an internal investigation that revealed the ousted leaders either knew of the abuse or failed to inquire further after being informed of it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watkins previously told Fox News Digital that she welcomes the controversial new fans Clark has brought to the sport
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By
Published March 10, 2025 10:12am EDT
USC women's basketball star JuJu Watkins surpassed one of biggest milestones on Sunday night and took another step closer to overtaking Clark in the college basketball record books.
In a to UCLA in the Big 10 championship game, Watkins put up 29 points to officially move past Clark's mark for points scored by a player across their first two seasons.
Clark put up 1,662 points in her first two seasons, while Watkins now has 1,684. That puts Watkins just behind Kelsey Mitchell for most by any player in their first two seasons, as Mitchell holds the record with 1,762.
However, Watkins has a chance to surpass Mitchell and gain even more ground on Clark, as she still has yet to play in this year's NCAA Tournament.
Watkins has a chance to break Clark's record for most points scored by a basketball player, men's or women's, in NCAA history. Clark broke the mark in her historic senior season in 2023-24, with 3,951.
Watkins replaced Clark as the face of women's college basketball after Clark began her WNBA career last year, and the teen admits that breaking Clark's record is something that she keeps in the back of her mind.
"Naturally, being on pace, it's always in the back of my mind," Watkins previously in an exclusive interview. "The goal is to continue to produce at this level, and do it as efficiently as I can."
Watkins could have the benefit of playing more games than Clark did in college as the teen looks to chase down the record.
Still, Watkins said she only "wishes" she could play like Clark, who is far and away the better 3-point shooter.
"I wish I played like her," Watkins said.
Watkins has had the chance to break Clark's record in front of a larger audience for women's basketball than in previous years, amid the aftermath of Clark's transcendent impact on the sport during her college career. Last year, the NCAA women's championship game got more viewers than the men's for the first time in history.
"The attention wasn't always there, so to just see the eyes on it and people respecting the sport more, and young girls getting into the sport more, it's a dream come true," Watkins said.
Watkins has embraced the new fans that Clark has brought to the game, even as other prominent women's basketball figures have condemned new fans for negative comments about players other than Clark.
"So many new fans being in the sport sometimes can be, not necessarily challenging, but can just kind of give you a headache a bit. Not a lot of people know what they're talking about sometimes. But it's great for the sport. The fact that people are watching is enough in itself," Watkins said, when previously asked by Fox News Digital in an about what challenges come with the sport's new attention.
"We would like it to be positive, but it's not always going to be like that, so as long as we continue to raise the numbers and viewership goes up, I think that's all we can ask for."
Watkins said she even wants those fans to cheer for her, too. However, even if they end up "hating" her, she will still embrace the fact that they're paying attention. When asked if she wants the sport's controversial new fans to cheer for her, too, Watkins answered, "Oh yeah. I love supporters and I also love haters.
"I think that's just a part of the game. There's so many sides to it. So it's the nature of the game and there's always going to be negative and positive aspects of it."
As Watkins looks to break Clark's scoring record, she hopes many of the new fans of women's basketball, even the ones who cause her "headaches" and "don't know what they're talking about sometimes," will come to cheer for her. But Watkins will also embrace these fans and the attention if they "hate" her.
"I love supporters and I also love haters."

H4ayl3t69vE | https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/13/labour-cuts-benefits-care-rachel-reeves-unemployment | # Dear Rachel Reeves: if there is no alternative to cuts, at least do them with care
I confronted the programme in detail, sitting in on jobcentre interviews, chasing results. How was it done? A total change of attitude and approach, from punitive to encouraging. Employment staff were retrained and put on a higher grade, becoming personal advisers to help remove obstacles to working. They offered 18- to 24-year-olds four well-organised options: a further education course, work on environmental projects or in a voluntary organisation, or a subsidised job with employers given £60 a week to take them on. “No fifth option” was the backstop sanction. About 339,000 long-term unemployed young people could find work by 2001. Deep distrust of the Department for Work and Pensions faded, as people discovered genuine help. There were other new deals for the over-50s, disabled people, and a particularly successful one for lone parents. Jobcentres were transformed from The Full Monty’s bolted-down plastic chairs and shouted interviews behind scratched Perspex to open, less threatening places.
But by 2009, in the aftermath of the bankers’ crash, nearly 1 million young people landed in jobcentres. Labour, determined not to see them become a lost generation, dashed to set up the future jobs fund. Employers were paid £6,500 to take an extra young person for six months, who were paid at least the minimum wage, creating 105,000 jobs. (A local panel, including unions, ensured the jobs were new, not substitutes.) I watched Jon, a depressed 19-year-old without qualifications who had despaired of work, amazed as his adviser in a Brighton jobcentre showed him all kinds of good jobs suddenly available. Cost-benefit analyses found people spent 70 fewer days on benefits and 43% were estimated to be in work after completing the programme – a high rate compared with other schemes, and well worth the high upfront cost. But the great George Osborne axe fell on this, as it did on so much else.
Liz Kendall, the work and pensions secretary, has for a long time talked up this approach: she knows the research well and, bludgeoning the Treasury with the evidence, has reportedly extracted as much as £1bn for supporting disabled people into work, as well as the 1 million “neets” (young people aged 18-24 not in education, employment or training). That is a significant sum to spend on support programmes, say employment experts. It should create high-quality schemes. Kendall always promised more personal help by easing work coaches’ caseloads. She talks of the need to de-risk taking a job, so disabled people can trust they have the option to try a job but return at once to benefits if it doesn’t work out. Employers need to be more flexible with varying states of illness. She talks of no longer wasting time by harassing those who will never work, while neglecting many who could and want to. But here’s the hitch: actual cash returns will take time to score on the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) and Treasury balance sheets.
The great question is: how big an axe will fall on disability benefits when she delivers her green paper next week? And, more importantly, how fast? Over time, if schemes work and if the economy perks up, then reducing the number of claims and their costs is possible. But cuts before that success will be brutal. What’s more, as economist Jonathan Portes points out, OBR reports show its forecast disability cuts never actually add up. For example, introducing Pip was supposed to be a cut, replacing the disability living allowance; OBR duly scored it, but Pip costs ballooned. Even in the time of truly vicious jobcentre persecution of claimants with sanctions, punishment didn’t work. Chivvying may urge some people into work, but research shows it has the contrary effect on those with mental ill-health.
Squeezing over here bursts out elsewhere, in a half-starved system. With basic unemployment pay at a sub-survivable £393.45 a month, anyone out of work for long is in a miserable state, and likely to describe their condition in medicalised terms. That’s not cheating; it’s a true expression when they apply for disability benefits that lift them above starvation. The country is sicker than it was, and sicker than its neighbours, physically and mentally, as the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) reports this week, with nearly 1 million more people on disability benefits than pre-pandemic. It’s not imaginary, they say, as it matches the rise in “deaths of despair”, from drugs, drink and suicide.
Jobs are far harsher than they once were, physically and emotionally more stressful, with less personal control. Efficiency savings have killed off “light work” for frailer people. What Labour does may help: a better NHS, less monstrous gig-working conditions and a better spirit of care. But any savage axe to living standards of hard-up disabled people wouldn’t encourage that. Labour would face a hefty backlash. Nor will voters approve, with 53% saying these benefits are too mean or about right, and only 26% saying they are too high.
No wonder disability benefits costs terrify the Treasury, and they are due to rise by £35bn in four years time. But here are alternative facts, equally true, if you shake the statistics kaleidoscope another way.
The overall proportion of spending on benefits for working age adults and children is similar to 20 years ago, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation told me. And here’s another shake of the kaleidoscope from the IFS: the UK’s spending on working-age health-related benefits is comparable to that of other similar countries.
There are no easy billions to be had from the benefits budget, though much reform is needed within it. Look elsewhere: Starmer abolishing NHS England should render savings from this costly duplicate. Whitehall should shed extra staff acquired in Covid. But there are few painless options for large sums, as all the economic choices are terrible. But of all unpalatable ways for Labour to break its election promises, either by borrowing or by taxing more, the worst choice of all would be cuts and austerity, slicing deeper into public services.

The ruling followed a similar one by US District Judge William Alsup on Thursday morning.
A second judge late Thursday ordered the to reinstate probationary workers who were let go in mass firings across multiple agencies.
In Baltimore, U.S. District Judge James Bredar, an , found that the administration ignored laws set out for large-scale layoffs. Bredar ordered the firings halted for at least two weeks and the workforce returned to the status quo before the layoffs began.
He sided with nearly two dozen states that filed a lawsuit alleging the mass firings are illegal and already having an impact on state governments as they try to help those who are suddenly jobless.
The ruling followed a similar one by U.S. District Judge William Alsup, who found Thursday morning that terminations across six agencies were directed by the Office of Personnel Management and acting director, Charles Ezell, who to do so.

Alsup's order tells the departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy, the Interior and the Treasury to immediately offer job reinstatement to employees terminated on or about Feb. 13 and 14. He also directed the departments to report back within seven days with a list of probationary employees and an explanation of how the agencies complied with his order as to each person.
The temporary restraining order came in a lawsuit filed by a coalition of labor unions and organizations as the Republican administration moves to reduce the federal workforce.

The Trump administration has already appealed Alsup’s ruling, arguing that the states have no right to try and influence the federal government's relationship with its own workers. Justice Department attorneys argued the firings were for performance issues, not large-scale layoffs subject to specific regulations.
Probationary workers have been targeted for layoffs across the federal government because they're usually new to the job and lack full civil service protection. Multiple lawsuits have been filed over the mass firings.
Lawyers for the government maintain the mass firings were lawful because individual agencies reviewed and determined whether employees on probation were fit for continued employment.

Alsup, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton, has found that difficult to believe. He planned to hold an evidentiary hearing on Thursday, but Ezell did not appear to testify in court or even sit for a deposition, and the government retracted his written testimony.
There are an estimated 200,000 probationary workers across federal agencies. They include entry-level employees but also workers who recently received a promotion.

## Editorial
After last Friday’s disgraceful roughhouse of Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the White House, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, delivered a pithy summary of first principles regarding the first full-scale war between nation states on European soil since 1945. “There is an aggressor: Russia,” Mr. Macron on social media, “There is a victim: Ukraine. We were right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago – and to keep doing so.”
That this needed saying underlines the extent to which Donald Trump’s administration is laying waste decades-old assumptions governing transatlantic relations. Appearing to prioritise a reset of the US relationship with Russia over international law and the unity of the west, Mr. Trump is a peace deal with Moscow on Vladimir Putin’s terms. At the same time he is seeking to plunder Ukraine’s , while demanding obeisance and gratitude from Kyiv in return.
For the sake of Ukraine, which has fought with such bravery for to resist Mr Putin’s illegal invasion, and for the sake of its own future security interests, Europe’s response needs to be unified, robust and ambitious. In that respect, the London convened by Sir Keir Starmer on Sunday was a useful start, but multiple uncertainties remain.
The bullying and taunting of Mr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office meant the conference rightly became an occasion for a counter-display of emotional solidarity, embodied in the bear-hug the Ukrainian president received from Sir Keir in Downing Street. Substantively, however, Europe’s strategy for dealing with an unpredictable and ideologically hostile White House is a work in progress.
Alongside much-needed commitments to boost military assistance to Ukraine, Sir Keir that a “coalition of the willing” would be created to deter Russian violations of any future peace deal. By presenting their own for a ceasefire, significantly increasing defence spending, and pledging “boots on the ground” to police a peace agreement, European leaders aim to persuade Mr Trump to offer the US security guarantees that are indispensable if such a force is to be deployed.
For this balancing act to have a chance of success, as yet unidentified Nato members will need to step up alongside Britain and France with substantial troop contributions, and relations between Kyiv and Washington will need to be patched up. Achieving the latter will be anything but easy. But Mr Zelenskyy’s on Sunday that he remained willing to sign a minerals deal with Mr Trump represented a recognition of this grim necessity.
The prospect of Kyiv being bounced unwillingly into a ceasefire without guarantees, as Mr Trump licenses a territorial carve-up to reward Mr Putin’s murderous aggression, is intolerable. Through diplomacy in Washington, but also through military assistance on a scale that will require more flexible in Brussels and in national capitals, Europe must build on the London summit to give Ukraine agency and a voice in determining its own destiny.
More broadly, the evidence that as Mr Trump seeks to forge a new understanding with Mr Putin’s revanchist regime, he is indifferent to the impact on European security and interests. As Sir Keir commented at the close of Sunday’s summit, Europe stands “at a crossroads”. Strategic autonomy, and far greater sovereign capability, will be needed to navigate the challenging route ahead.

mr2vWe6AvCo | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/11/ice-car-trackers-sanctuary-cities | # Ice accessed car trackers in sanctuary cities that could help in raids, files show
Westchester county has laws limiting cooperation, but Ice has accessed trove of data that holds license plate readers
As ’s ramps up its crackdown on undocumented immigrants to the US, advocates are increasingly worried immigration agents will turn to surveillance technology to round up those targeted for deportation, even in so-called “sanctuary cities” that limit the ways local law enforcement can cooperate with immigration officials.
That’s because US Customs and Immigration Enforcement (Ice) in past years has gained to troves of data from sanctuary cities that could aid its raids and enforcement actions. Among that information is data from the vast network of license plate readers active across the US, according to documents obtained by the Guardian.
Local agencies across the country use license plate readers, high-speed cameras that scan and capture images and of every vehicle that passes, to collect information on vehicular activity, including the direction a vehicle is moving. They store those details in databases that are often shared with other local law enforcement agencies as well as federal ones. The volume of data gathered along with the wide breadth of bureaus that have access to it mean that federal agents in practice can often obtain information on individual immigrants gathered by local authorities those same agencies are legally not allowed to work with.
Take the example of Westchester county, , where police work with a license plate reader company named Rekor.
Westchester, a 450-sq-mile mostly suburban area just north of New York City – has had laws limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities on the books since 2018. But documents including emails and access logs newly made public show Ice has had access in the past to a major database that holds license plate reader information collected across the county.
Westchester county police said they managed a network of 480 such cameras as of January 2023. Westchester police provided these figures in response to a freedom of information law request and are the most up-to-date figures available on the scale of the county’s license plate surveillance network. In just the last week of January 2023, the cameras scanned 16.2m cars, according to these documents. That’s up from 14m scans across 346 cameras in March 2022, these emails show. Ice, Customs and Border Protection and the agency they fall under, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), have all had access to this database as of February 2022, as do local law enforcement agencies outside New York state, these documents show. The license plate information that is stored in this database came from more than 20 cities across Westchester and spans two years.
Neither Ice nor the Westchester county police department responded to questions about whether the federal agency still has access to the database.
In the first few weeks of Donald Trump’s administration, a of immigration enforcement activity across Westchester county prompted local mayors to reassure residents they were complying with local sanctuary laws and were not cooperating with Ice on these investigations. These laws “prohibit members of the police department from engaging in law enforcement activities solely for the purpose of enforcing federal immigration law, unless required to do so by a judicial warrant or other federal law”, the Peekskill mayor, Vivian C McKenzie, told the .
The data sharing between the county police and Ice, illustrated in the documents the Guardian reviewed, appear to have sidestepped and undermined the county’s sanctuary city laws. It also means that Ice can potentially use data captured in Westchester to pursue immigration cases elsewhere, including in other sanctuary cities.
“Westchester can be a sanctuary county or a surveillance state. It can’t be both. This sort of mass tracking violates the promise made to undocumented residents that they will be safe in the county,” Albert Fox Cahn, the director of the privacy advocacy group the Tech Oversight Project, said. “It’s unclear if Westchester county violating the letter of its law, or merely its spirit, but either way it’s clear that immigrant communities are at risk.”
Westchester county police, Ice and the mayors of several cities in the county did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
The documents, which Westchester county police made public in response to a freedom of information law request by a legal non-profit and shared exclusively with the Guardian, include a list of its “users”, or organizations that had access to this database as of February 2022. The non-profit asked not to be named to avoid compromising the federal grants the organization was awarded. In addition to Ice and the DHS, agencies listed as having access include the Department of Justice, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Secret Service and the FBI.
A separate list details individual users who have access to the database. Among the users were five individuals who had email addresses that ended in @ice.dhs.gov and two people with Secret Service email addresses ending in USSS.dhs.gov. There were 44 users with email addresses that end in FBI.gov, 40 with DOJ.gov addresses and just over a dozen featuring DEA.gov. Many of those included on the list indicated they were part of the investigative unit of their agency. It was not clear whether that list was current as of 2025 and if those users have ongoing access to the database.
## A nationwide surveillance net
Rekor sells license plate readers and the software used to analyze their data to law enforcement agencies, though it is among the smaller companies in an ecosystem of many working in similar ways. Together, these companies’ license plate readers blanket the majority of the US. Access to more than one major network can enable law enforcement agencies to monitor people’s movements across the country.
In addition to accessing local networks like Westchester’s, Ice uses the national database of Vigilant Solutions, a Motorola subsidiary which offers license-plate reading technology that competes with Rekor for contracts with local law enforcement and business across the US. In 2019, obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) revealed 9,000 Ice agents had access to the database of Vigilant Solutions.
Privacy and civil liberty experts argue these technologies create a vast surveillance dragnet wherein the movement of every vehicle in the US is being tracked and examined regardless of whether there is an active investigation. Residents of places where these cameras have been set up are beginning to push back.
## Westchester police discuss more surveillance
In addition to informal data-sharing with various federal and local agencies inside and outside of New York state, emails show Westchester police actively discussed creating formal data-sharing relationships to enable a cross-county surveillance network, including with the New York police department and fire departments, as well as an out-of-state agency in Stamford, Connecticut.
“If you get a chance I would love to discuss what possibilities exist with a Data Sharing plan,” a Westchester police lieutenant wrote in an email to an NYPD officer dated 10 March 2022. “We are currently at 346 cameras in Westchester with about 14 million reads per week. A lot of those reads are along the city line (Bronx).”
The range of agencies and individuals that have access to this database is potentially far more expansive than those listed. Rekor advertises a nationwide law enforcement platform that allows any agency that uses it “to access real time data from any part of the network at no cost”, according to a company . Announced in 2019, the platform would make real-time data on the “150 million plate reads” a month that Rekor collects across 30 states available to any agency that wanted to opt in.

Tiffany Flick claims agents from Elon Musk’s government cost-cutting unit assailed staff with questions about fraud.
## Main Content
A former chief of staff at the US Social Security Administration (SSA) described how agents of the so-called “department of government efficiency” (Doge) – ’s government cost-cutting operation – were imposed on the agency, assailing senior staff with questions “based on the general myth of supposed widespread fraud” and acting with dangerous disregard for data confidentiality.
In a filed with a lawsuit on Friday and referring to the Doge agents Mike Russo and Akash Bobba, Tiffany Flick said: “We proposed briefings to help Mr Russo and Mr Bobba understand the many measures the agency takes to help ensure the accuracy of benefit payments, including those measures that help ensure we are not paying benefits to deceased individuals.
However, Mr Russo seemed completely focused on questions … based on the general myth of supposed widespread social security fraud, rather than facts.”
Flick also said she was “not confident” Doge agents had “the requisite knowledge and training to prevent sensitive information from being inadvertently transferred to bad actors”, given its agents have “never been vetted by SSA or trained on SSA data, systems or programs”.
“In such a chaotic environment, the risk of data leaking into the wrong hands is significant,” Flick said.
Russo is now the . And Bobba is one of a number of to Musk whose work for Doge – imposing staff as well as budget cuts – has proved hugely controversial.
Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX billionaire, donated hundreds of millions of dollars to ’s victorious 2024 presidential campaign and was rewarded with the Doge project.
Flick became acting chief of staff to the acting social security commissioner, Michelle King, on 20 January, the day Trump was inaugurated for his second presidency. On 16 February, the White House named as acting commissioner Leland Dudek, a mid-level SSA data analyst who had been on leave and was suspected of passing information to Doge.
According to the Washington Post, Dudek has since he is not really in charge, saying: “Doge people are learning and they will make mistakes, but we have to let them see what is going on at SSA. I am relying on longtime career people to inform my work, but I am receiving decisions that are made without my input. I have to effectuate those decisions.”
Flick worked for the SSA for 30 years but retired the day Dudek was appointed. Her declaration was given under oath. The lawsuit was brought by Democracy Forward, a group “a coalition of unions and retirees” seeking “to halt unprecedented, unlawful seizure of personal, confidential, private, and sensitive data regarding millions of Americans across the country from the SSA, in violation of the law”.
Flick described confrontations with Doge including over a formal swearing-in for Bobba, necessary given the “highly sensitive” nature of SSA systems and data – but which, after “challenges with Mr Bobba’s background check”, had to be carried out over the phone, “contrary to standard practice” and at “around 9pm” on 10 February.
Russo, Flick said, “never fully disclosed … what information Doge wanted and issues it needed to address, but my understanding is that it was related to fraud.
“The information Doge sought seemed to fall into three categories: 1) untrue allegations regarding benefit payments to deceased people of advanced age; 2) concern regarding single social security numbers receiving multiple benefits (which is normal when multiple family members receive benefits through one wage-earner); and 3) payments made to people without a social security number.
“I considered each of these concerns to be invalid and based on an inaccurate understanding of SSA’s data and programs.”
Musk has repeatedly made inaccurate claims about social security fraud, including about , and has the program “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time”.
In response, one Democratic US senator, Jack Reed of Rhode Island, : “Social security is not a Ponzi scheme. It is an effective lifeline that helps seniors avoid destitution. It is a sound insurance program that works for wage earners who pay into the system while they are working, and when they reach retirement age they get benefits.”
Reporting Flick’s declaration, the Post said: “Russo hung up on a reporter who called seeking comment” while Bobba and SSA officials did not comment. Advocates continue to sound the alarm.
The president of Democracy Forward, Skye Perryman, : “Americans should be able to trust the government to protect their confidential data and yet – again – the has shown a blatant disregard for the law and its obligations to the American people by granting unprecedented levels of access to unappointed and unvetted individuals.
“On behalf of retirees and worker representatives, we urge the court to block the Trump administration’s unlawful attempt to access the private data of hundreds of millions of Americans across the country.”

### Biden repeatedly told Harris there could be 'no daylight' between them on policies: Report
#### By Hanna Panreck

Former President Biden reportedly urged Vice President Kamala Harris against on policies she supported as his vice president during her presidential run, according to a new book by reporters Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes.
"He would say publicly that Harris should do what she must to win. But privately, including in conversations with her, he repeated an admonition: let there be no daylight between us," the authors wrote.
Allen, a senior politics reporter at NBC News, and Parnes, a senior political correspondent for The Hill, wrote a book set to be published in April 2025 titled, "FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House," which is about the 2024 election. Parnes published an in The Hill on Thursday.
"But the day of the debate Biden called to give Harris an unusual kind of pep talk — and another reminder about the loyalty he demanded. No longer able to defend his own record, he expected Harris to protect his legacy," they wrote. "Whether she won or lost the election, he thought, she would only harm him by publicly distancing herself from him — especially during a debate that would be watched by millions of Americans. To the extent that she wanted to forge her own path, Biden had no interest in giving her room to do so."

During the phone call, according to the authors, Biden told Harris, "No daylight, kid."
Harris was criticized throughout her campaign for not breaking with the president on more issues after she took his spot at the top of the Democratic ticket.
Stephanie Cutter, a Democratic strategist and Harris campaign aide, suggested "a list of all the items that made Harris proud of her work with Biden," as they considered how to address her role within Biden's administration ahead of as the Democratic candidate, the authors write.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Sean Clegg, a Harris advisor at the time, reportedly said during media prep for the interview, according to the book excerpt. "Let’s not do this. Let’s not go down memory lane."

mYpwPaBk56H | https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/mar/06/los-angeles-chargers-release-five-time-pro-bowler-joey-bosa-after-nine-seasons | # Los Angeles Chargers release five-time Pro Bowler Joey Bosa after nine seasons
The released Joey Bosa on Wednesday night, ending the linebacker’s nine-season tenure with the franchise.
The move, which came less than a week before the start of the new league year, was expected due to Bosa’s large salary cap number and injury history. Bosa had a cap number of $36.47m for the 2025 season, but the Chargers will save $25.36m in cap space.
Bosa was the third overall pick by the Chargers in the 2016 draft, and went on to be named NFL defensive rookie of the year. He was also the last player on the current roster to have played for the Chargers when they were in San Diego. He signed a five-year extension worth $135m in 2020 that made him the league’s highest-paid defensive player at the time.
Bosa played in 14 games with nine starts this past season after agreeing to restructure his contract. But his five sacks were his fewest in the six seasons during which he has played at least 12 games as he battled hip and back injuries.
After seeing action in 16 games in 2021, Bosa saw the field for only 14 games combined in the 2022 and 2023 seasons. He missed most of 2022 because of a groin injury, but returned late in the year. He was sidelined for the final seven games in 2023 with a foot injury.
Bosa’s 72 sacks are tied for 10th most in the NFL since he entered the league and are second in franchise history. He was named to the Pro Bowl five times, including this past season as an alternate.
With Bosa’s release, the Bolts will put a bigger emphasis on trying to re-sign linebacker Khalil Mack, who is an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his 11-year career. Tuli Tuipulotu, who led the Chargers with 8.5 sacks this past season, is expected to move into a starting spot with Bosa’s departure.
Earlier this year Bosa spoke about the possibility of playing alongside his younger brother, Nick, at the San Francisco 49ers.
“It’d be cool at some point,” Bosa said. “I always thought of myself being somebody that will play here and retire here, which I think not many people do on one team, and I think it would be a cool thing to accomplish, but you never know.”
Joey and Nick’s father, John, was also a first-round NFL pick and was a member of the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets.

The trial of former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson and his wife on charges relating to alleged historical sex offences will be delayed by at least seven weeks.
At Newry Crown Court on Friday, Judge Paul Ramsey granted an adjournment application on medical grounds after being told Eleanor Donaldson is currently “unfit to stand trial”.
The trial had been due to start on March 24. No new trial date has been set.
But the judge said he would review the case, which is scheduled for two to three weeks, on 16 May.
The former DUP leader 62, has pleaded not guilty to 18 alleged offences between 1985 and 2008.
Eleanor Donaldson, 58, of Dublinhill Road, Dromore, is facing five charges including aiding and abetting, all of which she denies.

6 days ago
## Francesca Gillett
BBC News
Watch: Man waves Palestinian flag as he comes down from Big Ben
A man has been arrested after scaling Big Ben's Elizabeth Tower at the Palace of Westminster in central London.
Emergency services were called at 07:24 GMT on Saturday to reports of a protester who had climbed up the tower holding a Palestinian flag.
The barefoot man reached a ledge several metres up the tower and refused to leave.
Emergency crews went up in a crane to negotiate with him, and he eventually came down in a cherry picker as Big Ben struck midnight, after more than 16 hours.
Westminster Police said the man had been arrested once he reached the ground.
"This has been a protracted incident due to the specifics of where the man was located and the need to ensure the safety of our officers, the individual and the wider public," they added.
"We worked with other agencies including the London Fire Brigade and deployed specialist officers to bring this incident to a close as quickly as possible whilst minimising risk to life."
Following the arrest, the man was taken to St Thomas' Hospital for treatment. He had been pictured on the tower with cut feet.
The Met said that a small group of protesters also attended the hospital on Sunday morning.
"They were ejected after causing a disturbance at the venue," the force said.
"One of the group, a 26-year-old male, was arrested on suspicion of assault on an emergency worker after a nurse was injured in an attempt to reach the detained individual."
The incident on Elizabeth Tower led to the closure of Westminster Bridge, one of the exits at Westminster Underground Station and Bridge Street.
Tours of the Parliamentary Estate were also cancelled in response.
A parliamentary spokesperson said: "This incident is being reviewed and lessons will be learned from it."
Three emergency personnel were lifted several metres up on a fire brigade aerial ladder platform at around 10:00 GMT, with one person using a megaphone to speak to the man on the ledge.
Negotiations then continued throughout the day and into the night.

Stallone likened California crime to the dystopian sci-fi cult classic 'Escape from New York'
Actress-musician Frank Stallone says California is past its glory days and reveals the safety precautions he now takes in Los Angeles.
"I came to California in '79 and it was totally — it was California Dreamin', and I wasn't even in the best time," Stallone told . "No, it was a lot better earlier... but it was real California sunny, you know? Cool. Not much crime. And I drove through downtown — I had to do something yesterday. And the filth, the graffiti and the homelessness is almost like that movie 'Escape from New York.' I mean, it's that scary. I mean, I batten down the window, locks... You're talking trash piled four feet high. Just filth."
"Escape from New York" (1981), starring Kurt Russell, centers on a concluding war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union as Manhattan is converted into a giant maximum security prison. In its sequel, 1996's "Escape from L.A.," the president of the United States bans all citizens who don't conform to his conservative views to Los Angeles, which became an island after an earthquake.

Stallone said that California is a beautiful state, but it's been ruined by poor leadership, from Mayor Karen Bass to Gov. Gavin Newsom. He had particular ire for Newsom's priorities after the governor announced his new podcast, "This Is Gavin Newsom."
"I think it's like 'In Living Color,'" Stallone said. "I think this guy is so transparent. He's so phony. He's a terrible speaker. The hands and the hair and everything. He's just set up to be made fun of, you know what I mean? And he's a bad governor."
Both Newsom and Bass were condemned for how they handled — or mishandled — the that ravaged the Los Angeles area and claimed almost 30 lives and thousands of homes in early 2025.
Bass, for her part, was questioned by reporters about why she was abroad in Ghana while the blazes were raging. Bass was on a trip to Africa for the swearing-in of Ghana’s president when the Palisades Fire erupted on Jan. 7 and got back into the city on Jan. 8.
While Bass and her office said that she was in constant communication with officials during that time, a recent found that her text messages from that time no longer exist.
"And I don't know, why are you in Ghana? Hello? What's that have to do with being the mayor of Los Angeles?" Stallone mused.
her Africa trip was a mistake.
"Absolutely it is, and I think that I have to demonstrate that every day by showing what we're doing, what is working, what are the challenges," Bass told NBC Los Angeles when asked if she’s trying to "regain confidence."

Stallone went on to say that he believes Bass used fired fire chief Kristin Crowley as a "scapegoat" because it was obvious the Santa Ana winds were on their way.
"You know, when you have 70-mile-an-hour winds, and you've had a drought, that is kind of a recipe for disaster," he said.
Stallone warned the city to get its act together before it's set to host .
"I don't think it's a great representation for the Olympics," he said. "It's not a good look. It's really terrible."
Stallone said he wants to see Rick Caruso, a Los Angeles real estate developer, run for governor. He previously ran an unsuccessful campaign against Bass for mayor in 2022.
"I just I think our leadership is really bad," he said. "I hope Rick Caruso runs for governor. He'd be a fantastic governor. You know, he's a builder. He's a visionary. You know, he's one of those type guys. And I think it'd be really good."
for her actions during the wildfires.
"There's no water in the Palisades. There's no water coming out of the fire hydrants. This is an absolute mismanagement by the city. Not the firefighters' fault, but the city's," Caruso told .

Additionally, Stallone wants to see the homeless encampments cleaned up immediately, and for the city to return to a mindset of crime and punishment.
"You've just got to move them out," he said. "No more of these Winnebagos parked for months on the curb. You know, we got to move. No more pitching tents on sidewalks where people can't walk. No more pitching tents in front of people's houses. I mean, when I was going down to the gym, it was so compacted with homeless people. The stench — also that that type of unsanitariness breeds, you know... All kinds of bad stuff… There's a lot of human excrement. It's just terrible."
"You've just got to move them out," he said. "No more of these Winnebagos parked for months on the curb. You know, we got to move. No more pitching tents on sidewalks where people can't walk.

The stench — also that that type of unsanitariness breeds, you know... All kinds of bad stuff… There's a lot of human excrement. It's just terrible."
"And the sad thing is, I see guys that are in better shape than me that are young, standing there begging around the corner," Stallone continued. "Why don't you go out and get a job? You know, I just — I really don't want to pay for that. I mean, yes, there are some people that are mentally ill, I get it. They should be getting help somewhere, but we could create a lot of jobs. This city is filthy. We said, listen, we'll put you to work. You can be on a road crew, help clean up the city. You can make a few bucks."
The beauty of the Golden State, he concluded, is being obscured by poor policies and even worse leadership.
"I mean, this is such a beautiful state," he said. "Beautiful. We got the mountains, we got snow, we got the ocean. We've got everything. It's just run wrong… I mean, the crime. It's just ridiculous. You know, $900 you can steal and nothing happens. But that, to me, is I'm lost on that one. You know, when I was a kid, you stole a candy bar, you get a kick in the butt."
Stallone's mention of $900 in theft refers to the state's . Prop 47 made several crimes, including shoplifting, grand theft and receiving stolen property, a misdemeanor instead of a felony if the value of the property did not exceed $950, "" for murder, rape, certain sex offenses, or certain gun crimes. It also lowered the penalty for the personal use of most illegal drugs below a certain weight.

arlvnLJe9yM | https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9wpy14wyd0o | # Party drug MDMA may have protected Nova attack survivors from trauma, study suggests
*Oren Rosenfeld / BBC*
## As dawn approached on the morning of 7 October 2023, many of the partygoers at the Nova music festival near Gaza's border took illegal recreational drugs like MDMA or LSD.
Hundreds of them were high when, shortly after sunrise, Hamas gunmen attacked the site.
Now neuroscientists working with survivors from the festival say there are early signs that MDMA - also known as ecstasy or molly - may have provided some psychological protection against trauma.
The preliminary results, currently being peer-reviewed with a view to publication in the coming months, suggest that the drug is associated with more positive mental states - both during the event and in the months afterwards.
The study, carried out by scientists at Israel's Haifa University, could contribute to a growing scientific interest in how MDMA might be used to treat psychological trauma.
It is thought to be the first time scientists have been able to study a mass trauma event where large numbers of people were under the influence of mind-altering drugs.
Hamas gunmen killed 360 people and kidnapped dozens more at the festival site where 3,500 people had been partying.
> "We had people hiding under the bodies of their friends for hours while on LSD or MDMA," said Prof Roy Salomon, one of those leading the research.
>
> "There's talk that a lot of these substances create plasticity in the brain, so the brain is more open to change. But what happens if you endure this plasticity in such a terrible situation - is it going to be worse, or better?"
*About 3,500 people were at the Nova festival when Hamas gunmen attacked*
The research tracked the psychological responses of more than 650 survivors from the festival. Two-thirds of these were under the influence of recreational drugs including MDMA, LSD, marijuana or psilocybin - the compound found in hallucinogenic mushrooms - before the attacks took place.
> "MDMA, and especially MDMA that was not mixed with anything else, was the most protective," the study has found, according to Prof Salomon.
He said those on MDMA during the attack appeared to cope much better mentally in the first five months afterwards, when a lot of processing takes place.
> "They were sleeping better, had less mental distress - they were doing better than people who didn't take any substance," he said.
The team believes pro-social hormones triggered by the drug - such as oxytocin, which helps promote bonding - helped reduce fear and boost feelings of camaraderie between those fleeing the attack.
And even more importantly, they say, it appears to have left survivors more open to receiving love and support from their families and friends once they were home.
Clearly, the research is limited only to those who survived the attacks, making it hard to determine with any certainty whether specific drugs helped or hindered victims' chances of escape.
But researchers found that many survivors, like Michal Ohana, firmly believe it did play a role - and say that belief, in itself, may help them to recover from the event.
> "I feel like it saved my life, because I was so high, like I'm not in the real world," she told me. "Because regular humans can't see all these things - it's not normal."
Without the drug, she believes she would have just frozen or collapsed to the floor, and been killed or captured by the gunmen.
*Survivors who had been on MDMA during the attack appeared to cope much better mentally in the months after, says Prof Roy Salomon*
Clinicians in various countries have already experimented with MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in a trial setting - though only Australia has approved it as a treatment.
Countries that have rejected it include the US, where the Food and Drug Administration cited concerns about the design of the studies, that the treatment may not offer long-lasting benefits, and about the potential risk for heart problems, injury and abuse.
MDMA is classified as a Class A drug in the UK, and has been linked to liver, kidney and heart problems.
In Israel, where MDMA is also illegal, psychologists can use it to treat clients on an experimental research basis only.
The preliminary findings from the Nova study are being closely followed by some of those Israeli clinicians experimenting with MDMA as treatment for PTSD after 7 October.
Dr Anna Harwood-Gross, a clinical psychologist and director of research at Israel's Metiv Psychotrauma Centre, described the initial findings as "really important" for therapists like her.
She is currently experimenting with using MDMA to treat PTSD within the Israeli military, and had worried about the ethics of inducing a vulnerable psychological state in clients when there is a war going on.
> "At the beginning of the war, we questioned whether we were able to do this," she said. "Can we give people MDMA when there's a risk of an air raid siren? That's going to re-traumatise them potentially. This study has shown us that even if there's a traumatic event during therapy, the MDMA might also help process that trauma."
*Dozens of people were kidnapped and 360 were killed in the festival attack*
Dr Harwood-Gross says early indications of therapeutic MDMA use are encouraging, even among military veterans with chronic PTSD.
It has also upended old assumptions about the "rules" of therapy - especially the length of sessions, which have to be adjusted when working with clients under the influence of MDMA, she says.
> "For example, it's changed our thoughts about 50-minute therapy sessions, with one patient and one therapist," Dr Harwood-Gross told me. "Having two therapists, and long sessions - up to eight hours long - is a new way of doing therapy. They're looking at people very holistically and giving them time."
She says this new longer format is showing promising results, even without patients taking MDMA, with a success rate of 40% in the placebo group.
Israeli society itself has also changed its approach to trauma and therapy following the 7 October attacks, according to Danny Brom, a founding director of the METIV Psychotrauma Centre at Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem, and a senior figure in the industry.
> "It's as if this is the first trauma we're going through," he said. "I've seen wars here, I've seen lots of terrorist attacks and people said, 'We don't see trauma here'.
>
> "Suddenly, there seems to be a general opinion that now everyone is traumatised, and everyone needs treatment. It's a wrong approach."
What broke, he said, is the sense of security many Jews believed Israel would provide them. These attacks uncovered a collective trauma, he says, linked to the Holocaust and generations of persecution.
*Some survivors say they are still struggling to return to normal life after the attack*
> "Our history is full of massacres," psychologist Vered Atzmon Meshulam told me. "As a psychologist now in Israel, we are faced with an opportunity to work with lots of traumas that weren't previously being treated, like all our narratives for 2,000 years."
Collective trauma, combat trauma, mind-altering drugs, sexual assault, hostages, survivors, body-collectors, the injured and the bereaved - Israel's trauma specialists are facing a complex cocktail of issues from the clients now flooding into therapy.
The scale of that mental health challenge is mirrored in Gaza, where vast numbers of people have been killed, injured or left homeless after a devastating 15-month war - and where there are scant resources to help a deeply traumatised population.
The war in Gaza, triggered by the Hamas attacks on Israeli communities in October 2023, was suspended in January in a six-week truce, during which Israeli hostages held by Hamas were exchanged for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
But there is little sense on either side that the peace and security needed to begin healing has arrived.
The truce expired last weekend, with 59 Israeli hostages still in Hamas captivity. Many Gazans are waiting, with their bags packed, for war to resume.
Meanwhile Nova survivor Michal Ohana says she feels that with the passage of time, some are expecting her to have moved on from the attacks, but she is still affected.
> "I wake up with this, and I go to sleep with this, and people don't understand," she told me.
"We live this every day. I feel the country supported us in the first months, but now after one year, they feel: 'OK, you need to go back to work, back to life.' But we can't."

As truce talks begin in Jeddah, Andriy Yermak writes for the Guardian that continent must ‘remain united’:
-

Europe must keep the financial pressure on Russia even though a ceasefire has never seemed closer in Ukraine’s three-year war with Moscow, the chief of staff to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian president, as he starts talks in Jeddah with the US about the terms of any truce.
The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, has convened the talks to test Ukraine’s willingness to make concessions to Russia to achieve peace, but Andriy Yermak has urged Europe “to remain united to counter Russian aggression now and deter it in the future”.
He was writing as Ukraine targeted Moscow early on Tuesday in what authorities said was its .
Yermak called for to maintain all Russian assets held in European banks under embargo, with the profits used to sustain Ukraine’s financial recovery.
“Allowing to reclaim these funds after its war of aggression would have catastrophic consequences,” he said. His remarks highlighted one of the potential sticking points in any ceasefire talks between Ukraine and Russia.
He said the €300bn (£253bn) in frozen Russian assets held in western financial institutions were “one of the most potent tools in Europe’s arsenal”.
It is part of a wider argument by Yermak that Europe must not prematurely dismantle the sanctions regime against Russia. He said it was important to “maintain the political and financial pressure to raise the cost of renewed conflict for Russia”, adding: “Europe cannot allow a ceasefire which serves only to allow Russia to rearm, rebuild its forces and come back for more Ukrainian lands and resources.”

He nevertheless gave an optimistic assessment of the possibility of peace, writing: “As I arrive in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a ceasefire in the three-year war the Russian federation has waged on my country has never seemed closer. Recent talks between Ukraine and its partners give rise to great hope that the Ukrainian people will very soon return to the peaceful lives that they enjoyed before the war began in 2014 or the extreme escalation since 2022.”
But he said any peace must be “just and sustainable”. Praising the EU for its recent decision , he added: “Stronger sanctions will close loopholes in the financial system, preventing European businesses and institutions from indirectly funding Russia’s war machine, while also setting a precedent for dealing with future threats. In the long run, Europe’s decreased dependency on Russia will bring geopolitical strength and market stability.”
Yermak made no criticism of the US decision to or to , instead thanking the US for its support. But he did back calls for Europe to enhance its strategic autonomy in defence, an implicit acknowledgement that Europe could not in the long term rely on a leading US role in the defence of Europe. Rubio strongly hinted that if the Jeddah talks went well from the US perspective then military aid might be restored.
Yermak made no detailed mention of the possibility of a European-led force to help maintain a ceasefire. He wrote: “Ukraine must be given security guarantees that lend credibility to a future ceasefire agreement.”
Military chiefs from 30 European and Nato countries willing to contribute to security guarantees for Ukraine after any negotiated truce with Russia are meeting in Paris on Tuesday to try to make the nature of the offer of guarantees more explicit.

When my friend suggests dinner, I beg off.
“Finishing M&M, not in the mood,” I explain with a sad emoji.
When I first encountered the acronym for the morbidity and mortality meeting, I thought it ironic that one of the bitterest reckonings in medicine shared the name of the sweet treat of my youth.
I first began attending M&M as a medical student, squeezing into the back of the room to listen to senior doctors dissect various harms patients had incurred. Back then I was just a wide-eyed observer keen to understand the moving parts of a huge system. Fast forward a few decades and I have attended hundreds of these meetings.
Morbidity and mortality meetings in medicine .
In the 1930s surgeons, physicians and anaesthetists would meet to discuss cases and conclude with a vote if the death was preventable. Imagine the contest of ideas (and egos) in that gathering.
Today the format and aim of the M&M is still surprisingly unclear. While deaths must be recorded, the meeting itself is not compulsory.
It is variously regarded as an educational opportunity, a tool for quality improvement, and a forum for identifying outliers. It may also serve to restrain hubris, interrogate standards, and force system changes, the last especially relevant in shifting from the traditional “blame-and-shame” approach to a collaborative one.
No clinician enjoys being in the crosshairs of an M&M. It is a delicate matter to raise problems without judgment, acknowledge the benefit of hindsight, and focus on the future instead of litigating the past. When conducted from a place of psychological safety, curiosity, and empathy, the process can be useful for setting standards.
But I can’t help noticing that the more M&M meetings I attend, the worse I feel on my way out.
First, I am sceptical about the definition of morbidity as determined by doctors. Mortality means only one thing, but morbidity is open to interpretation – and it is well recognised that .
I met a chemotherapy patient with such profuse diarrhoea and weakness who received help so late that he became bedbound. Morphine had him hallucinating, waving to “all those people” on the ceiling. His poor wife was distressed and terrified – and yet, the medical notes recorded his condition as stable because he wasn’t getting worse. The use of such narrow medical standards worried other providers, including his nurse, but, if his doctors didn’t flag his morbidity as serious, chances are no one else would.
This is how non-fatal events can be downplayed instead of receiving systematic exploration to ensure they are not repeated.
The truth is that any patient sick enough to be tabled at an M&M has encountered a whole range of providers from whom it is important to hear. To review the case from the perspective of doctors alone is to miss the full story and, potentially, attract groupthink. But modern medicine with its siloed nature renders impossible the kind of communal deliberations needed to achieve holistic care.
In my view, the most troubling absence at M&M meetings is the patient or family voice. Admittedly, the object of the meeting is to untangle medical errors in a safe space but to altogether exclude the patient experience or filter it through the eyes of doctors is to do patients a disservice.
The most powerful way of reflecting on our omissions and commissions is to hear how they affected the patient. “It was the worst experience of my life, and I really thought Dad was going to die” lands differently than “the patient’s daughter was a bit upset”.
“I kept calling, got passed around, and have never felt more alone” is more damning than “unfortunately, the patient couldn’t reach us”.
But unless patients demand accountability (by resorting to a complaint, if they can be bothered), the magnitude of their troubles can go unheeded. M&M meetings need a better way of incorporating the patient voice even if the patient is not in the room.
These meetings are intended to help doctors reflect on what we could have done better and advocate for a healthcare system that is our ally. But it’s hard not to carry a heavy conscience when . A lack of communication between providers, a failure to listen to the patient, a surfeit of confidence, a dearth of humility.
The M&M meeting is an opportunity to get things right the next time. But without skilful and impartial moderation, the process can turn into a mere checkbox exercise, which may well leave patients wondering how this could ever achieve systemic change in a healthcare system that is always distracted by some crisis.
Walking away from some of the most depressing M&M meetings, I dream of an outcome that says to the affected people: “We reflected on your case. Here is how it made us feel and this is what we learned. In the future, this is what we will do differently.”

s9ERth8FKc5 | https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/mar/03/peter-mandelson-ukraine-comments-not-government-policy-minister | Peter Mandelson’s Ukraine comments ‘not government policy’, minister says
Ambassador to US rebuffed for saying Zelenskyy should give ‘unequivocal backing’ to Trump’s peace efforts
Ambassador to US rebuffed for saying Zelenskyy should give ‘unequivocal backing’ to Trump’s peace efforts
Peter Mandelson has been rebuffed for saying should be more supportive of US peace efforts and that Ukraine should unilaterally call a ceasefire, with a UK defence minister saying this was “not government policy”.
The overnight comments by Lord Mandelson, the UK ambassador to Washington, were also criticised by opposition parties, with the Liberal Democrats saying Mandelson should not be “telling President Zelenskyy what to do”.
In an interview with ABC News, Mandelson, who was Keir Starmer’s choice to try to maintain ties with the second Donald Trump administration, said there was a need for a “very radical reset” after Trump and his vice-president, JD Vance, in the Oval Office on Friday.
“The reset has to consist of the United States and getting back on the same page, President Zelenskyy giving his unequivocal backing to the initiative that President Trump is taking to end the war and to bring a just and lasting peace to Ukraine,” Mandelson said.
“And the Europeans too, they need to back the calls for a ceasefire, and – by the way – I think that Ukraine should be the first to commit to a ceasefire and defy the Russians to follow.”
Asked whether this was government policy, Luke Pollard, the armed forces minister, replied: “No.” He told Sky News: “It’s certainly right that Ukrainians want peace. I think of all the people on our continent that want peace, the Ukrainians want it the most.
“But we’re still in discussions, diplomatic engagement with our European, US and Ukrainian friends as to the shape of that deal. It’s certainly right that the war could stop tomorrow if President Putin stopped his illegal and unprovoked aggression. He could stop this war.”
Asked if Mandelson had been incorrect with his comments, Pollard said: “That’s not government policy.”
Earlier, senior figures in the Lib Dems and Conservatives criticised Mandelson’s intervention. Ed Davey, the Lib Dem leader, : “What is Mandelson up to? You cannot square what the prime minister said this morning with this. What is the government’s actual position? Our man in DC should be securing US protection for our brave Ukrainian allies, not telling President Zelenskyy what to do.”
James Cleverly, a former Conservative foreign secretary, : “The UK ambassador to Washington isn’t meant to communicate his own opinion, he is meant to communicate the UK government opinion. Lammy and Starmer need to grip this.”

qR-gJO8W9TS | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/09/asheville-trees-hurricane-helene-north-carolina | # Tree loss from hurricane leaves Asheville vulnerable to new climate shocks
The city of Asheville and its surrounding areas have been left vulnerable to floods, fires, and extreme heat after uprooted thousands of trees that provided shade and protection from storms.
Helene was catastrophic for the region’s trees – in part due to the heavy precursor rainstorm that pounded southern Appalachia for two days straight, drenching the soil before Helene hit, bringing yet more heavy rain and 60-100mph winds.
The category 4 storm caused severe damage to more than 400,000 acres of forest in rural areas of western alone, stripping entire mountainsides bare, according to the latest assessment by the US Forest Service. Almost half the forest in Mitchell county was severely damaged, as was about 30% in Ashe and Watauga and 17% in Buncombe county.
The extent of the tree damage is “extraordinary and humbling”, according to Steve Norman, a research ecologist who conducted the assessment using remote sensing satellites at the Forest Service’s Southern Research Station.
The damage count does not, however, include urban areas like Asheville, a city in Buncombe county which suffered unprecedented large-scale tree failures leaving some streets and neighborhoods completely bare.
Asheville is among the fastest-growing small US cities, with many drawn to and claims that it was a .
Yet tree cover was already declining even before Helene – the city lost 6.8% of its tree canopy between 2008 and while the population grew by 10%.
Then Helene, the most powerful storm to hit southern Appalachia in decades, submerged Asheville’s River Arts District along the French Broad River, and Marshall, another artsy town, both in flood water. The river is now a silty eroded mess, with little vegetation to protect the land from future storms, flanked by piles of tree debris.
Yet not all trees fared the same, according to new analysis shared exclusively with the Guardian. Hard woods such as red oaks and hickories accounted for 70% of the trees upended by hurricane-force winds in Asheville, while tulip trees and maples were far less prone to failure.
Trees provide essential ecosystem services in urban areas including cooling, carbon sequestration, storm water management, wildlife habitat, air pollution capture, and mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. The new research led by April Wilson, a certified master arborist, is an attempt to understand which species may suffer worst in supercharged storms fueled by human-made global heating.
In the immediate weeks after Helene, Wilson conducted a survey of 300 fallen trees in 11 suburban and urban neighborhoods in the Asheville area. Eighty-three per cent had no obvious defect: these were healthy-looking trees with no root rot, hollow trunks, or other major structural problems.
In January, Wilson surveyed 800 randomly selected standing trees, a control group of survivors from the same neighborhoods. The analysis, conducted with Jenna Rindy, a local environmental scientist with research experience in forest biology, found that size and species had significant associations with failure.
Medium to large trees – those between 16 and 36 inches in diameter – were 83% more likely to fail than smaller ones. Previous studies in other locations have shown that larger trees are more prone to failure in extreme storms than those with smaller diameters. In Asheville, smaller and extra-large trees fared best.
Red oaks and eastern white pines accounted for 43% of the failures. It’s unclear why but oaks hold on to their leaves more than other trees, which increases drag – or heaviness of the canopy. Other possible explanations include root size and the impact of previous climate crisis-fueled disasters, particularly drought.
Medium- to large-sized northern red oaks were the most prone to failure, the analysis found.
“While we want to avoid making sweeping tree management decisions based on this singular storm, we can conclude large oak trees should be further assessed in the urban landscape – even those without detectable defects. Species with a lower likelihood of failure, including many minimal-risk native species to our area, should be considered for planting near high-value targets,” said Wilson.
While catastrophic floods have hit the Asheville region in the past, the large-scale tree failures caused by Helene appear to be unprecedented.
“Climate change may have made some trees more vulnerable … and now so much forest around us was destroyed or damaged. That’s a lot of lost CO2 and in the city, runoff, erosion and heat issues are real,” Wilson said. The research is being submitted to a peer-reviewed journal.
In one northern suburb, homeowner Sari Bellmer lost multiple trees including two large hickories and a 70-year-old red oak, which fell on top of the house, leaving the garden bare, the property exposed.
Across the street, power lines and an entire row of cypress trees fell like dominoes. Four months after Helene, a small urban forest behind Bellmer’s house was being bulldozed to make way for new housing.
“We live on a ridge facing a road and felt protected by the trees, but are now totally exposed to the wind and heat,” said Bellmer, whose business in Marshall also flooded. “We need fast-growth trees to protect the soil and house, but I also want diversity and shade to compensate for the trees lost to Helene – and the new development.”
were killed by Hurricane Helene, including 104 deaths in North Carolina – mostly caused by floods and falling trees. Many trees were severely damaged or hanging dangerously and needed to be removed. But arborists interviewed by the Guardian also reported an uptick in traumatized residents removing healthy trees that could have been saved – compounding vulnerability to future rain and wind, and removing precious carbon from the soil.
In all, more than 800,000 acres of forestland were damaged, and in some cases flattened entirely, throughout 17 counties in western North Carolina. This includes about 20% of the state’s national forest, leaving lots of kindling-like vegetation on the ground that could fuel fires – and fewer trees to slow winds down, according to Norman, who was speaking at a public event in January before 10% – 3,400 – of US Forest Service staff.
“The fire risk is a huge concern,” warned Norman.
Last week the North Carolina forest service 176 fires spanning more than 3,300 acres (1,340 hectares) – the largest in Polk county in the western part of the state.
“Asheville is absolutely less climate resilient than it was before Helene but this was a wake-up call. Maybe now we will update floodplain maps, implement the 2018 climate resilience assessment and construct more green infrastructure to absorb stormwater on the land left exposed by Helene – and the development boom that’s been happening,” said Alison Ormsby, forest specialist with the non-profit Adventure Scientists and volunteer co-chair of the city’s tree protection taskforce.
“We used to be a green city but we had already lost so many trees to development, that Asheville was not as resilient as it could have been when Helene hit. The hurricane absolutely compounded the issue, and we are 100% more vulnerable to climate disasters – to floods, heat and all the other things that trees do for us,” said Chardin Detrich, a master arborist and member of the , which advises the city on tree planting and preservation.
“Asheville has a long track record of recognizing the role sustainability plays in maintaining and improving our community,” said a city spokesperson, Kim Miller. “Public engagement has clearly demonstrated residents’ deep commitment to sustainable rebuilding. Staff is actively pursuing federal and state funds to integrate mitigation strategies into recovery efforts to ensure a more resilient recovery from the disaster.”

I in 1965, the British government blocked the BBC from broadcasting The War Game, it had commissioned depicting just what a nuclear attack on the UK would entail. The film, the government judged, was simply too “horrifying” for the public. Two decades after that, The War Game finally aired, prior to the release of the 1984 film Threads, which, in imagining on the UK, was the first movie to deal with the scientific reality of nuclear winter.
When I was 11, I had nightmares for a few weeks after seeing a trailer for a nuclear doomsday film () that ran prior to a cinema screening of The Fellowship of the Ring (I had just read the three Lord of the Rings volumes). The were disturbing, of course, but they were not of the real world, unlike nukes. This January, I was confronted with The War Game at an exhibition on The Atomic Age at Paris’s Museum of Modern Art; I finished the exhibit in near silence. A week later, I watched Threads; it ruined the remainder of my afternoon.
Both films are the bleakest things I have ever seen – enough to induce nightmares in any adult. It is fitting that words fall short of the power of their imagery in revealing the pointless atrocity that would end healthcare, agriculture and even language itself for the mentally ruined, deformed, illiterate generations that would linger on, subsisting through a collective non-life.
During the cold war, the world narrowly escaped that fate . Among the near misses, two are particularly harrowing. In 1962, during the Cuban missile crisis, , a senior officer on a Soviet submarine, averted nuclear conflict after his two fellow commanders thought non-lethal depth charges exploding around them were the outbreak of war. In 1983, the Soviet officer refused to believe that a launch warning flashing on a radar system was actually an American first strike, and simply decided not to report the incident up the chain of command.
A decade later in 1994 Ukraine, which had the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world, as part of a complete nuclear disarmament. It did so from the US, UK and Russia. Donald Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine (or, worse, active sabotage by cutting it off from some ) and in-process realignment of the US with Vladimir Putin’s geostrategic objectives guarantees that no state will ever do anything similar in the future.
For months, have shown quite clearly what the Trump regime’s vision of the world is, and what its intent is. It’s a vision Trump has made little effort to conceal. As if they were playing the board game Risk, they have decided that the “winning strategy” is to take and hold North America. The first economic shot has been launched at forcibly making Canada the “51st state” – and during his address to the US Congress, Trump was equally explicit that Greenland (“”) and the will be next.

Ux4uV2g5QOv | https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgq9n48el43o | US 'destroying' world order, Ukraine's ambassador to UK says
============================================================
6 March 2025
Aleks Phillips
BBC News
Vitaly Chervonenko
BBC Ukrainian
Watch in full: The remarkable exchange between Zelensky, Vance and Trump
The US is "destroying" the established world order, Ukraine's ambassador to the UK has claimed.
Valerii Zaluzhnyi said the White House had "questioned the unity of the Western world" and was "taking more and more steps towards" Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
The comments come as the US puts pressure on Ukraine to make concessions ahead of any peace talks, and after a public clash between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his US counterpart Donald Trump.
Zelensky has since said he is "ready to work" under Trump's "strong leadership", an apparent cooling in tensions welcomed by Trump - and which comes after the US paused military aid to Kyiv.
*
*
But Mr Zaluzhnyi's remarks at a conference at Chatham House in London on Thursday suggest there remains discontent over the US's actions.
He told an audience: "We see that it is not only Russia and the axis of evil trying to destroy the world order, but the US is actually destroying it completely".
The Ukrainian envoy added that talks between the US and Russia - the latter of which was "headed by a war criminal" in President Vladimir Putin - showed the White House was making "steps towards the Kremlin regime, fully realising that in this case Europe could be a new target for Russia".
Mr Zaluzhnyi, who took over as Kyiv's ambassador to London in 2024 following three years as commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, also suggested that Nato could cease to exist as a result of Washington's change in posture.
While Zelensky has expressed a wish to bring the war in Ukraine to an end swiftly, Kyiv has voiced concerns about the Trump administration's handling of talks and the concessions to Moscow that may be made without firm security guarantees for Ukraine.
Trump vowed during the US election campaign to bring the war to an end quickly, and preliminary US-Russian talks were held in Saudi Arabia last month - without European or Ukrainian representatives present.
The US's decision to halt its military assistance to Ukraine and intelligence sharing
Any corresponding pressure the US has been putting on Moscow to make concessions has not been made public.
*
*
Zaluzhnyi said the pause in intelligence sharing, as well as an earlier decision to oppose a UN resolution condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine, were "a huge challenge for the entire world".
His comments come as Politico reports that members of Trump's team held discussions with some of Zelensky's political opponents, after Trump allies suggested the Ukrainian president should stand aside as his term expired in May.
Citing unnamed sources in the US and Ukraine, it says talks were held with opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko and senior members of Petro Poroshenko's party, who preceded Zelensky as president.
Independent opinion polls in Ukraine suggest Zaluzhnyi has the most public support with at least 70%, Zelensky has 57% support, and Poroshenko about 20%. Tymoshenko and Poroshenko both have their own red lines and share a pro-European stance.
Responding to the report, Tymoshenko said her team was talking with "all allies who can help ensure a just peace as soon as possible", while noting elections cannot be held under Ukraine's constitution while it is under martial law.
Poroshenko wrote in a lengthy statement that his party worked "publicly and transparently" with the US, and that meetings have focused on supporting Ukraine's war effort.
While criticising Zelensky's government over its political decisions and communications with the US, he too stressed that elections could only take place after a ceasefire was signed.
While the Politico article suggested the Trump administration may be seeking an alternative to Zelensky, these meetings appear to be long-standing and predate both the war and the recent straining of ties with the US.

lgKuIJPBa0f | https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c757r3vgz64o | Expansion approved for 115-year-old Blackburn Empire Theatre
============================================================
5 March 2025
Bill Jacobs
Local Democracy Reporting Service
*Google*
A volunteer-run theatre can now create a new dance studio, reception office and entrance after planning permission was granted.
It will involve the conversion of an empty storeroom at Blackburn Empire Theatre in Aqueduct Road, Ewood.
It entails removing a large shuttered door on to the car park, creating a new separate entrance and reception area for a rehearsal studio, and refurbishing the storage area.
A spokesman for the 115-year-old venue said it was "great news".
'Five-year plan'
-----------------
"It will allow us to create an additional rehearsal room which is all part of a larger five-year plan to develop the Empire and its role within the community," he said.
The planning application, submitted by the charity which runs the theatre, was approved by Blackburn with Darwen Council.
It was supported by the National Theatres Trust which said in a letter to planners: "This proposal relates to a later building to the rear of the original theatre.
"Utilising the building for dance studios will complement the core theatre function and further enhance the Empire's community and cultural offer."

Ub4Ee1PdoXE | https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/2025-02-mpr-statement.htm | # Statement on Longer Run Goals
## Monetary Policy Report submitted to the Congress on February 7, 2025, pursuant to section 2B of the Federal Reserve Act
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is firmly committed to fulfilling its statutory mandate from the Congress of promoting maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates. The Committee seeks to explain its monetary policy decisions to the public as clearly as possible. Such clarity facilitates well-informed decisionmaking by households and businesses, reduces economic and financial uncertainty, increases the effectiveness of monetary policy, and enhances transparency and accountability, which are essential in a democratic society.
Employment, inflation, and long-term interest rates fluctuate over time in response to economic and financial disturbances. Monetary policy plays an important role in stabilizing the economy in response to these disturbances. The Committee's primary means of adjusting the stance of monetary policy is through changes in the target range for the federal funds rate. The Committee judges that the level of the federal funds rate consistent with maximum employment and price stability over the longer run has declined relative to its historical average. Therefore, the federal funds rate is likely to be constrained by its effective lower bound more frequently than in the past. Owing in part to the proximity of interest rates to the effective lower bound, the Committee judges that downward risks to employment and inflation have increased. The Committee is prepared to use its full range of tools to achieve its maximum employment and price stability goals.
The maximum level of employment is a broad-based and inclusive goal that is not directly measurable and changes over time owing largely to nonmonetary factors that affect the structure and dynamics of the labor market. Consequently, it would not be appropriate to specify a fixed goal for employment; rather, the Committee's policy decisions must be informed by assessments of the shortfalls of employment from its maximum level, recognizing that such assessments are necessarily uncertain and subject to revision. The Committee considers a wide range of indicators in making these assessments.
The inflation rate over the longer run is primarily determined by monetary policy, and hence the Committee has the ability to specify a longer-run goal for inflation. The Committee reaffirms its judgment that inflation at the rate of 2 percent, as measured by the annual change in the price index for personal consumption expenditures, is most consistent over the longer run with the Federal Reserve's statutory mandate. The Committee judges that longer-term inflation expectations that are well anchored at 2 percent foster price stability and moderate long-term interest rates and enhance the Committee's ability to promote maximum employment in the face of significant economic disturbances. In order to anchor longer-term inflation expectations at this level, the Committee seeks to achieve inflation that averages 2 percent over time, and therefore judges that, following periods when inflation has been running persistently below 2 percent, appropriate monetary policy will likely aim to achieve inflation moderately above 2 percent for some time.
Monetary policy actions tend to influence economic activity, employment, and prices with a lag. In setting monetary policy, the Committee seeks over time to mitigate shortfalls of employment from the Committee's assessment of its maximum level and deviations of inflation from its longer-run goal. Moreover, sustainably achieving maximum employment and price stability depends on a stable financial system. Therefore, the Committee's policy decisions reflect its longer-run goals, its medium-term outlook, and its assessments of the balance of risks, including risks to the financial system that could impede the attainment of the Committee's goals.
The Committee's employment and inflation objectives are generally complementary. However, under circumstances in which the Committee judges that the objectives are not complementary, it takes into account the employment shortfalls and inflation deviations and the potentially different time horizons over which employment and inflation are projected to return to levels judged consistent with its mandate.
The Committee intends to review these principles and to make adjustments as appropriate at its annual organizational meeting each January, and to undertake roughly every 5 years a thorough public review of its monetary policy strategy, tools, and communication practices.

## About 15 years ago, an Indian rapper of humble origins broke onto the country's then-infertile hip-hop music scene and transformed it forever.
He teased, cajoled and vexed his listeners, daring them to explore the "devilish" contours of his mind, as he sang rash rhymes about parties, drugs and "seducing" women. His songs played in clubs and weddings, blaring from stereos at big parties and roadside tea stalls alike.
Then, at the peak of his career, he vanished. Seven years later, Yo Yo Honey Singh is back - with a new album and an ongoing music tour, claiming to be a changed man after a prolonged battle with drug abuse and mental health struggles.
## The rapper was recently seen at the premiere of a Netflix documentary on his life
He claims his music is now more conscious, moving beyond drugs to something deeper. But loyal fans say it's lost its edge and his latest tracks haven't left a mark.
> "He has a core audience that will stick with him forever... but his vision is old now. It's outdated," Kappal says.
But Singh is not ready to be written off, yet.
## Instead of trying to conceal or defend his personal struggles with fame and drugs, he has made it the centrepiece of his comeback.
Since his return, Singh has candidly admitted his struggles with addiction and mental health. "Drugs destroyed me completely," he told Lallantop, a digital news platform. "I lost myself to fame, money and women. I was like a devil, completely satanic."
In interviews, he is witty and relaxed, speaking with the clarity of a tormented artist who, after battling his inner demons, seems to have unlocked a spiritual truth.
> "What goes around comes around, I really believe that," he said recently. "It took a lot of time for me to get out from where I was stuck. But I am back now."
Born Hridesh Singh in Punjab state, he grew up in a cramped Delhi neighbourhood. Those tough early years shaped his music and still echo in his work today.
> "This ghetto was my home, my hood, always will be," he's often heard saying.
Singh always knew he wanted a career in music. He started as a college DJ, later moving into production full-time. "I wanted to make beats and produce music, not sing or write," he says.
But after years as a small-time producer in Punjab, he realised it wouldn't be enough. "My sounds were too urban for the place. People didn't understand it. For that, I had to go beyond the state."
So he went solo. In 2011, Singh released The International Villager, his breakout album. Blending Punjabi folk - its dhol beats and string melodies - with global hip-hop, he created something entirely new.
For three months, it seemed the formula had failed. Then everything changed. Overnight, the songs went viral, topped charts, won awards - and catapulted Singh into Bollywood.
, a song about a brown man's global ambition, became YouTube's most-watched video in 2012. Shot in Dubai on a million-dollar budget, it introduced many Indians to the bling of hip-hop - fast cars, baggy clothes, gem-studded watches and gold chains - set to slick, thumping beats.
Despite mounting criticism over his misogynistic lyrics, Singh packed stadiums and churned out hits, breaking into Bollywood with songs for stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar.
"A lot of times, my lyrics were trash, even I knew that. But people were still listening to it because the sound was so good and fresh," he told Lallantop.

Singh is no longer the defiant hitmaker who once ruled the charts with his provocative, foot-tapping anthems.
A lot has changed in the intervening years, including Indian hip-hop, which has evolved into a thriving, dynamic space. Artists once inspired by his sound have now surpassed him as the genre's leading voices.
Singh also seems different. From someone who described himself as "the all-knowing master of the universe", he now identifies as a God-fearing man who believes in good energies, the cyclic nature of life and "scientific astrologers".

Singh has been sober for seven years, except for the occasional beer.
> "I have been to hell and back," he says in Famous. "Even now, I wake up hazy because of the medicines."
Fans, however, appreciate Singh's raw honesty about his self-destructive tendencies - and his effort to overcome them.
>No-one's perfect. But at least Singh tries to be better. He may have left the scene briefly but his music never stopped playing," says Nandini Gupta, a Delhi-based student.
Others see his transformation as performative, noting his new music remains problematic. "Though toned down, he is still objectifying women and talking only about money and fame," says listener Bushra Neyazi.
No matter how you see it, Singh's redemption feels like another challenge to his audience - pushing them to accept his complicated past and give his music another chance.
"I was away for seven years, but I will drive everyone mad again in the next seven," he said recently.
"I am back and I want the same love I received seven years ago."

**UN-commissioned study** in UK, US, Ireland, Australia, Canada and New Zealand finds satisfaction rises with age
**Richard Partington**
Economics correspondent

For more than half a century, the midlife crisis has been a feature of western society. Fast cars, impulsive decisions, and peak misery between the age of 40 and 50. But all that is changing, according to experts.
In a commissioned by the UN, the leading academics and warn that a burgeoning youth mental health crisis in six English-speaking countries worldwide is upending the traditional pattern of happiness across our lifetimes.
> “The U-shape in wellbeing by age that used to exist in these countries is now gone, replaced by a crisis in wellbeing among the young,” according to the paper published by the US National Bureau of Economic Research.
Analysing responses to surveys in the US, UK, , Australia, Canada and New Zealand, the study found that life satisfaction and happiness had fallen among young people over the past decade, and particularly among young women.
It highlighted the rise of smartphones and social media, suggesting the trend coincided with the growth of internet usage, with the impact on happiness visible in surveys across the six countries and in several other nations worldwide.
> “This may end up being a lost generation,” Blanchflower, a former Bank of England policymaker, told the Guardian in an interview. He said there had been a sharp drop in wellbeing in the US and the UK in particular, and pointed to the growth of social media, cyberbullying and body shaming online.
“I don’t think there is any doubt you have an absolute global crisis. are in deep disarray and trouble. And the question is what do we do about it? And we don’t know.”
A leading British labour market economist now at the prestigious US Dartmouth College, Blanchflower had written a paper in 2020 looking across almost 150 advanced and developing countries and found the same U shape in happiness applied everywhere. However, he now says he missed the collapse in youth wellbeing from about 2013 in survey data, before starting to work with Twenge, who is a leading expert on the subject.
“I looked and I thought, ‘Oh shit, she’s right.’ What had happened is a really big deal. It wasn’t Covid, it had started before that, but that extended it after 2020.”
Other studies have drawn links between the youth mental health crisis and , unregulated social media, insecure employment and the climate crisis. Young people are also increasingly like to be outside the jobs market with mental health conditions.
Blanchflower said the collapse in youth wellbeing could have vast social and economic consequences. “The economics of this are a really big deal. Potentially this relates to the kids withdrawing from school; then they go out of the labour force. Presumably it will affect your performance at school, it might well impact global productivity,” he added.
He said the UN had commissioned further research to identify whether the phenomenon could be found elsewhere around the world. “The UN sees this as a huge global crisis,” he added.
“We always thought that as life becomes more realistic, happiness declines because of pressures, then you realise life isn’t so bad. We’re having to rethink that entire thought.”

Analysis
Cautious Zelenskyy keeps cards close to his chest after Ukraine ceasefire proposal
in Kyiv
Ukrainian president would not be drawn on details of proposed deal and also steered clear of criticising Trump at press briefing
As journalists filtered out of the presidential administration in central Kyiv on Wednesday afternoon after a 30-minute press conference with president , the general consensus was that he had not said anything that would immediately make for a dramatic headline.
That, it seems, was the point. Eager to show the White House that Ukraine is onboard for negotiations and not an obstacle to Donald Trump’s desire to bring peace, Zelenskyy seems to be trying to erase the memories of two weeks ago.
On Wednesday, his pauses for careful thought before answering questions were noticeable. Referring to the talks in Saudi Arabia, he said there were “a lot of details that we don’t want to talk about now”.
Asked by the Guardian what effect the pause in US intelligence sharing had had on Ukrainian military operations, and whether it had led to any specific incidents or losses for Kyiv, he said: “One day I’ll tell you, but I can’t answer that now”.
One US television correspondent tried to goad him, twice, into repeating an earlier claim that Trump was living in a Russian disinformation bubble. Zelenskyy smiled faintly, paused and gave a banal politician’s answer, that he always likes it when foreign partners visit and can see the situation on the ground for themselves. He hopes that his American partners will visit more often.
It was easy to see a disguised barb directed at Vance, who tried to lecture Zelenskyy about Ukrainian battlefield realities and then said that he did not need to come on a “propaganda tour” to Ukraine because he had seen stories online. Back then, Zelenskyy responded with understandable irritation. This time, the criticism was oblique enough not to make a quotable soundbite.
The last thing Ukraine needs now is a slew of “Zelenskyy attacks Trump and Vance” headlines, which could prompt a new bout of mudslinging from the White House. called him a “moderately successful comedian” and a “dictator”, and claimed he had a 4% approval rating in Ukraine.
“One tweet can change everything, especially for the people who are fighting,” Zelenskyy said, by way of explanation for his somewhat evasive answers.
Trump’s unpredictability means there are no guarantees that Ukraine’s new approach will be enough to placate Trump and bring back meaningful US support for Kyiv. But there are signs that it is helping. Already, the US has reinstated intelligence sharing, and some of the rhetoric appears to be changing.
Lindsey Graham, a pro-Trump senator who has also been pro-Ukraine, laid into the Ukrainian president after the White House meeting. “I don’t know if we can ever do business with Zelenskyy again. I think most Americans saw a guy they would not want to go into business with,” he said then.
On Wednesday, he was singing a very different tune, promising to demand “bone-breaking sanctions and tariffs” on before the end of the week to push Moscow towards a deal. “Zelenskyy has passed the test of wanting peace,” he wrote on X.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The paper's editorial board called Mayor Muriel Bowser's move 'a practical attempt to protect D.C. from Republicans who are threatening the city’s autonomy'
The Washington Post editorial board defended Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s controversial decision to remove the giant "" art covering a main city street near the White House.
Though many have complained about Bowser’s move, thinking it’s about bowing to Republicans' opposition to Black Lives Matter, the board argued it’s smart as it will placate President Trump, whose administration is threatening the city’s independence from the federal government.
"It is not cowardice, as the mayor’s critics allege, but a practical attempt to protect D.C. from Republicans who are threatening the city’s autonomy for political purposes," on Friday.
The Washington Post editorial board argued that it's the right move for D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to replace Black Lives Matter art in order to placate President Trump. (Getty)
The giant yellow letters were painted on 16th Street NW in addition to the intersection being renamed to "Black Lives Matter Plaza" in the summer of 2020 during Trump's first term.
The Post editorial board's headline read, "D.C. can respect Black Lives Matter without street art."
Bowser authorized the changes following days of chaotic protests at that location over police brutality following the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer and Breonna Taylor by Louisville police officers.
The mayor announced earlier this week that the by students and artists, who are being tasked by the city to create new murals for area, sparking protests in and around the square.
Bowser’s call comes as Republicans in Congress have targeted the plaza. Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., recently introduced H.R. 1774, which, if passed, would "withhold certain apportionment funds from the District of Columbia unless the Mayor of the District of Columbia removes the phrase Black Lives Matter from the street symbolically designated as Black Lives Matter Plaza."
The Post’s board argued that such attacks on the city by the federal government require the mayor to make these more minor concessions.
The board also mentioned how Trump has recently "threatened" taking over the city to clean up crime, graffiti and homeless camps. He on Air Force One last month, "I think that we should run it strong, run it with law and order, make it absolutely, flawlessly beautiful."
The editorial stated, "But what Bowser understands — and what many of her critics seem unwilling to accept — is that she possesses little power to prevent Trump and his fellow Republicans from damaging the city. Her chief task now is to minimize that damage."
The piece also mentioned how Trump has recently "threatened" taking over the city to clean up crime, graffiti and homeless camps. He on Air Force One last month, "I think that we should run it strong, run it with law and order, make it absolutely, flawlessly beautiful."
The editorial added that Bowser giving up BLM Plaza "seems to be paying off." It continued, "The Post reported this week that the president has backed off his threatened executive order, thanks to ‘constructive conversations’ with the mayor’s staff. This is a victory for the city."
The Post argued that this fight is about "choosing one’s battles wisely" and concluded with the idea that the city should "focus on the issues that affect people’s day-to-day lives: reducing crime, building affordable housing and creating a vibrant economy" rather than fixate on street art.

Photographer in coma and scores injured as police use teargas, rubber bullets, and water cannon against retirees
’s hardline security minister is facing calls to resign after the violent police response to a protest by pensioners left a photographer in a coma and scores of other people injured.
More than 1,000 riot police used teargas, rubber bullets, and water cannon to disperse demonstrators late on Wednesday.
Retirees gather every week in front of Congress to demand an increase in pensions and the restoration of certain free medications, which have been hit by President Javier Milei’s austerity programme.
This week the number of protesters swelled after fans from some of the country’s biggest football clubs, including Boca Juniors and River Plate, joined the rally.
To the sound of trumpets and drums, elderly marchers waved walking sticks and signs reading: “Don’t hit us, we are your parents,” and “Help me fight – you’ll be the next elderly person.”
But violence soon erupted with columns of riot police releasing a near-constant stream of teargas, and shooting water cannon and rubber bullets at demonstrators. Around 5.30pm officers drove , pointing guns at the demonstrators and causing hundreds to flee.
Footage circulating on social media showed an elderly woman being hit with a baton and being knocked to the ground, her head soon covered in blood. In another, an elderly man wearing a football shirt is seen being beaten by police.
A freelance photographer and activist was also left in a critical condition, after being hit in the . Pablo Grillo reportedly suffered a skull fracture and loss of brain mass, a graphic photo of which was shared online. The 35-year-old was rushed to a hospital where he underwent emergency surgery and remains in an induced coma.

His father, Fabián Grillo, the president and national security minister, Patricia Bullrich, and said: “My son’s life is in danger.” Bullrich responded by calling the photographer an activist.
The Argentinian Graphic Reporters Association (aRGra) is demanding Bullrich’s resignation. “Today our former student was vilely and seriously injured by security forces,” their statement said. “We demand that the president of the republic immediately remove her and her subordinates from office and bring them to justice. Otherwise we make him morally, politically and criminally complicit in the crimes committed by his minister.”
Hundreds of people protested peacefully, chanting from the sidelines. But others threw stones, firecrackers, and bottles at police containment lines. A police van and rubbish cans were also set ablaze. Al Jazeera reported that a police officer had been shot.
Preliminary figures from the independent human rights group Comisión Nacional por la Memoria suggest more than 500 people were injured.
were detained, authorities said, with Bullrich that organised and violent football fans had turned up “prepared to kill”.
Axel Kicillof, the opposition governor of Buenos Aires province, the government’s “ferocious, illegal, and premeditated” repression of the protest. “While a photographer fights for his life, government spokespeople lie, justify violence, and spread hatred. This authoritarian rampage must be urgently curbed,” he said.
Retirees were described as the during Milei’s first year in office, with pension increases falling significantly under inflation and the list of free medications being cut.
Nearly 60% of retirees receive only the minimum pension payment, which amounts to approximately $340 a month. those who have not completed 30 years of contributions will reportedly be unable to access the retirement pot – estimates suggest thousands will be affected.
Liliana Morono, a 73-year-old pensioner and grandmother, attended Wednesday’s protest for the first time. “Milei’s government is reducing our money every month, we can’t live, we can’t buy medications,” she said.
“I can’t understand how any Argentinian could vote for this crazy man who is so sick and full of hate. He has created a clash, a division, across our country,” she added.
Manuel Adorni, the presidential spokesperson, dismissed the demonstration as a politically motivated stunt.
Bullrich said: “, the law rules, not the hooligans or the left.”

Ac-2eSbE-tW | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/07/china-foreign-minister-condemns-us-tariffs-two-faced | # China’s foreign minister condemns US imposition of tariffs as ‘two-faced’
China’s foreign minister has accused the US of “two-faced” behaviour, condemning the imposition of tariffs on Chinese goods and warning against the “law of the jungle” that could emerge from Donald Trump’s “America First” policy.
Speaking at the sidelines of China’s annual parliamentary gathering, Wang Yi said would “firmly counter” US pressure. “No country should think that it can suppress China and maintain good relations,” he added.
Wang’s comments came days after the US president announced an increase on tariffs on Chinese imports. This week, Washington on a range of Chinese goods to 20%. Wang condemned the levies as “arbitrary”.
Customs data published on Friday showed that the value of China’s exports in January and February grew 2.3% year-on-year, well below expectations, underlining the pressure that China’s exporters will be under this year if China is to hit its GDP growth target of 5%.
China’s foreign ministry this week made about the US, warning that in a “tariff war, trade war or any other war, China will fight to the end”. In contrast, Wang’s comments on Friday were more muted, but the frustration at Washington’s stance towards Beijing was clear. “A big country should honour its international obligations,” Wang said, adding that countries “should not bully” each other. If countries pursue their own interests without regard for the international order, “the law of the jungle would reign the world again” and small countries would suffer, Wang said.
The veteran diplomat pointed to the success of the Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek as evidence that US sanctions would not work. “Where there is blockade, there is breakthrough; where there is suppression, there is innovation,” he said.
DeepSeek caused shock waves in January when it released an AI model that emulated the sophistication of leading US competitors, while , which were developed specifically for the Chinese market because the more cutting-edge H100 chips were banned from being exported to China by US restrictions.
“A high fence and small yard cannot suppress innovation,” Wang said, referring to the White House’s flagship industrial strategy policy for China during the Biden administration, which aimed to cut China off from the most advanced US technology.
Wang also presented China as being at odds with the US in other key foreign policy areas. Asked about Trump’s plans to redevelop Gaza, which have been widely criticised as endorsing ethnic cleansing, Wang said: “Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people.” Wang said China supported the that was presented by Arab leaders at a summit in Cairo this week.
On resolving the Ukraine war, Wang said China was “ready to work with the international community” to find a peace deal. But he insisted that China’s close relationship with Russia was firm, and would not be “swayed by any turn of events”. Wang said the war in Ukraine “could have been avoided” and that “no country should build its security on the insecurity of another”. Beijing has long voiced sympathy with Moscow’s concern about Nato enlargement.

On Europe-China relations, Wang struck a more conciliatory note. “China remains confident in Europe and believes Europe can be a trustworthy partner,” Wang said. Europe is an important trading partner for China and there are worries in Beijing that the relationship has suffered because of the war in Ukraine.
With countries around the world reeling from the dramatic first weeks of Trump’s presidency, Wang said China was a country of stability. “We are living in a changing and turbulent world,” he said, adding that China could bring “certainty to this uncertain world”.

Avorb2-O-8P | https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/mar/12/truly-jaw-dropping-astonishing-true-crime-show-devil-in-the-family-is-next-level-tv | # ‘Truly jaw-dropping’: astonishing true-crime show Devil in the Family is next-level TV
The shocking tale of a Mormon family YouTuber who was imprisoned for child abuse distills thousands of hours of footage to genuinely push the story forward. It’s as sensitive as it is out-there.
**Ruby Franke turned her life into content for years, so there is a bleak irony in her content being repurposed now to reveal the extent of her crimes.** As a vlogger, she and her husband, Kevin, made a living from YouTube, posting videos on the popular channel 8 Passengers, now defunct, about Mormon family life and parenting their six children in the picturesque city of Springville, Utah. But in 2023 Franke was arrested and charged with aggravated child abuse and sentenced to up to 30 years in prison. The astonishing three-part documentary Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke tells the story, from the beginning of the family’s internet fame in 2015 all the way to Franke’s imprisonment.
It starts with the now infamous and distressing doorbell-camera footage of one of the Franke children, a 12-year-old boy – the documentary blurs the faces of the four youngest children and does not name them – who turns up on a neighbour’s porch, asking to be taken to the nearest police station. He is evidently injured and emaciated. Later, we see more from that day and witness the neighbour sobbing when he realises the state the child is in. The boy has escaped imprisonment from the house of a woman called Jodi Hildebrandt. It is the spark that lights the inferno.
At around the halfway point, it takes another turn, into truly jaw-dropping territory. The grim brutality behind a lifestyle-channel empire would be enough material for most documentaries, but this veers off into wild and even more horrifying corners. Ruby and Kevin meet Hildebrandt, a counsellor and relationship coach with a distinctly cult leader-esque air. The arrival of Hildebrandt, along with a rise in apocalyptic religious beliefs and a sense of impending doomsday, makes for a darkening narrative. There are demonic possessions and suggestions of a clandestine sexual affair. All this is happening while Ruby and Hildebrandt continue to broadcast tough, anti-woke parenting “advice” on YouTube and Instagram.
The story has been widely reported, but a number of factors elevate this particular documentary above the true-crime pack. First, the film-makers have had access to thousands of hours of footage, which reveals the underbelly of the family vlogging in the first place. We see what happens before and after the edits have been made, exposing the flimsiness of the wholesome, money-making image. Second, it doesn’t rehash old territory but reveals new details, including footage of Hildebrandt, in the Franke house, claiming to be possessed by the devil. Third, it has been made with the participation of Ruby’s husband Kevin, and the two eldest children, Shari and Chad.
Shari, who only ever refers to her mother as “Ruby”, is a mature and impressively steady presence. “I’ve come to understand evil in a way that most people don’t,” she says. Their reflections on, and interpretations of, the events leading up to their mother’s incarceration vary from shellshocked to staggeringly circumspect. One issue with true crime documentaries is the ease with which they can become exploitative but, given the family’s involvement and the fact that the identities of the younger children have been obscured, this feels like less of a concern here.
Even in its most out-there moments, the film never loses sight of the fact that, ultimately, this is about child abuse and the collapse of a family unit under extreme religious beliefs. It is sober in its telling of the story, and leaves plenty of questions for viewers to consider. Why did Ruby and Hildebrandt do it? Neither has given much of an account of her role in the cruelty to the children, though both pleaded guilty to the charges. What is Kevin’s culpability? He doesn’t quite seem to know himself. More pressingly, how could this happen so publicly, in relatively plain sight, under the watchful eyes of the internet? To its credit, the documentary, while thorough, seems to admit that there are no easy answers.

M1GVfwVa5OK | https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn7vd63z2zpo | # Banksy take on Vettriano work sells for £4.3m
4 March 2025
A Banksy reimagining of a work by the late Scottish painter Jack Vettriano has sold at auction for £4.3m ($5.4m).
Crude Oil (Vettriano) was put up for sale by Blink 182 bassist Mark Hoppus, who acquired the painting in 2011.
It depicts the Fife-born artist's best known work, The Singing Butler, which features a couple dancing on a storm-swept beach accompanied by their butler and maid, but with two figures in yellow hazmat suits disposing of an oil drum in the background.
The sale to a private collector at Sotheby's in London on Tuesday evening came just days after Vettriano was found dead aged 73 at his apartment in France.
The work was initially projected to fetch between £3m and £5m in the sale.
The entirely hand-painted work, created using oil and spray paints, was first exhibited in 2005.
It was initially placed in a disused shop window in Notting Hill in full view of passers-by.
Hoppus and his wife Skye bought the painting in Los Angeles in 2011.
He described it as "unmistakeable," adding that he and wife Skye "fell in love" with the work from the moment they saw it.
A portion of the funds raised will go towards supporting the charities Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Cedars Sinai Haematology Oncology Research.
The couple will also donate some of the proceeds to the California Fire Foundation following the devastating wildfires which destroyed parts of the city earlier this year.
SOTHEBY'S
Hoppus said: "We loved this painting since the moment we saw it. Unmistakably Banksy, but different. We bought it because we loved it. It's borne witness to our family over these past dozen years.
"It hung over the table in London where we ate breakfast and our son did his homework. It hung in our living room in Los Angeles. It's seen laughter and tears and parties and arguments. Our son has grown up in front of it.
"This painting has meant so much to us and been such an amazing part of our lives, and now I'm excited for it to be out there in the world, seen by as many as possible."
Vettriano . His publicist confirmed his death on Monday.
There were no suspicious circumstances around his death, police in Southern France said.
The artist was self-taught after being gifted watercolour paints for his 21st birthday.
His breakthrough came in 1989 when he submitted two paintings to the Royal Scottish Academy's annual show and both sold on the first day, inspiring him to become a full-time artist.
His works later garnered international acclaim, leading to exhibitions in cities including London, Hong Kong, Johannesburg and New York.

jwjwnBOYVCj | https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/mar/11/food-dye-ban-bill | At least a dozen US states rush to ban common food dyes, citing health risks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RFK Jr’s ‘Maha’ giving fresh momentum to longtime efforts to outlaw additives, which is now a bipartisan movement
At least a dozen US states – from traditionally conservative Oklahoma to liberal-leaning – are rushing to pass laws outlawing commonly used dyes and other chemical additives in foods, citing a need to protect public health.
In one of the most far-reaching efforts, West Virginia last week on a range of common food dyes that have been linked to health problems, particularly for children, with overwhelming support from both and .
The measure has passed both legislative chambers and is expected to move to the governor’s desk for signing.
Public health advocates for state and federal action for years, pointing to research that links food dyes and other chemical additives to health risks, including in children and .
Food industry advocates have protested efforts to ban the additives, citing what they say is a lack of proof that the chemicals are harmful to people, and arguing such laws will raise food prices.
The National Confectioners Association (NCA) said that the measures “will make food significantly more expensive for, and significantly less accessible to, people in the states that pass them.” The association also said the federal government – in the form of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – should be the final arbiter for food additives.
“While there is a role for state legislators and public health officials to play in the ongoing conversation about food additives, decision-making should be left to FDA,” the NCA said.
But supporters of the measures say the “” (Maha) movement associated with newly appointed health and human services secretary, , is giving fresh momentum to the efforts. Kennedy has long warned about chemical additives in food and before Congress to “scrutinize the chemical additives in our food supply”.
“There is a lot of support for these measures now for a few reasons. The most obvious one is the Maha movement,” said Laura Wakim Chapman, chair of the West senate health and human resources committee. “Viral videos and social media content is informing the public about the dangers of unnecessary food additives. I am a mother of two and care deeply about their health. I think most parents do.”
In January, the FDA banned one food dye – – but did so begrudgingly, saying the agency was forced as “a matter of law” to take the step, but does not believe the dye poses an actual health risk to people. The agency acted only after advocates petitioned for the ban, citing industry studies that linked Red 3 Dye to cancer in rodents more than 30 years ago.
“I think many see FDA’s belated ban on Red 3 as further evidence that FDA is not very effective at safeguarding the food supply,” said Lisa Lefferts, an environmental health consultant who served on a 2011 FDA advisory board. “Republicans are taking a more active role in this issue than ever before.”
In Virginia, lawmakers that bans seven food dyes from public schools. With strong bipartisan support, the law now awaits the governor’s signature.
A seven-week expert course to help you avoid chemicals in your food and groceries.
“Consumers are demanding better food choices and questioning why other countries restrict harmful dyes while America continues to allow them,” said Hillary Pugh Kent, a Republican in the Virginia legislature who led the bill’s passage.
And Oklahoma on 3 March , which would ban 21 synthetic dyes and other additives from food distributed in the state. The proposed law would give manufacturers until January 2027 to reformulate their products, but would immediately require them to display a warning label if their products contain any of the 21 additives.
New York lawmakers similarly have launched an effort to force food companies to eliminate synthetic dyes and chemical additives from their products. The proposed law there would ban seven dyes from food sold or served in public schools and would ban statewide sales of foods with Red 3 Dye and two other chemical additives from foods sold statewide in 2023.
“ takes specific aim at the FDA and concerns about lax federal oversight, stating that food companies may not use the agency’s view of the safety of the chemicals “as a defense”.”
California is largely seen as a leading state in the movement, from foods served to children in public schools in September, as well as and three other chemical additives from foods sold statewide in 2023.
“I think RFK \ is bringing to light concerns that we all hold,” said Jennifer Pomeranz, associate professor of public health policy and management at New York University. “I think a lot of legislators saw the inaction by the FDA so more people are coming to the table … tired of waiting for the federal government to do something.”
