Far-right politician Martin Bosma, the speaker of the Dutch lower house, will not be welcome at a national commemoration marking the end of slavery, Linda Nooitmeer, the head of the organizing committee, announced in The Hague on Wednesday. Bosma's invitation had been withdrawn, she said. Bosma, a member of the Party for Freedom (PVV) headed by Geert Wilders, had been disinvited, Nooitmeer said. Bosma has drawn attention on account of remarks seen as racist but rejects making any apology for them. As the highest representative of the House of Representatives, Bosma was to have laid a wreath at...

Atlanta (AFP) - Joe Biden and Donald Trump prepared Wednesday for the biggest moment so far in the US election -- the first of two high-stakes debates that could upend the race. Thursday's showdown will raise the campaigning to boiling point, with both camps recently escalating their increasingly personal attacks. "I think I have been preparing for it for my whole life...We'll do very well," Trump told right-wing network Newsmax in an interview on his debate preparation. The 2024 election looks close, with Trump enjoying a slight polling advantage in the all-important swing states in an electi...

In a landscape where corporate communication often falls short and public trust in big business and governments is diminishing, the challenge for large organisations lies in navigating what to say and how to say it. This complexity is exacerbated by the rise of climate activists, political divisions, misinformation and a general apathy towards corporate brands. Richard Edelman, CEO of the largest public relations firm in the world (by revenue), said that despite these complexities, brands must lean-in and play an ‘offensive game’ to stay visible and relevant. According to the 2024 Edelman Trus...

Brussels (Belgium) (AFP) - NATO's 32 nations on Wednesday appointed outgoing Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte as the alliance's next chief, handing him the job at a crucial moment with Russia on the march in Ukraine and US elections looming.

"Mark is a true transatlanticist, a strong leader and a consensus-builder," Stoltenberg said on social media after NATO ambassadors approved t...

Washington (AFP) - Restrictions or outright bans on abortion implemented in some US states can have unexpected consequences like reduced access to contraceptives and higher infant mortality rates, two studies published this week warned. The two studies come as the United States marks the second anniversary of the Supreme Court's historic decision to overturn constitutional protections on abortion, leaving each state to decide on the hotly contested issue. The first study, published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), shows that in states where abortion is illeg...

Loss for progressive Democrats: Last night, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a far-left Democrat who represents the outskirts of New York City (Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, and parts of the Bronx), lost his seat in Congress to George Latimer, the Westchester County executive. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I–Vt.) showed up and rallied for Bowman, and Ocasio-Cortez even helped him with door-knocking in Mount Vernon over the weekend. Israel was front and center in this election. While Bowman was accusing Israel of genocide, Latimer was positioning himself as an ardent...
