Een nieuwe wet beschermt omwonenden van Schiphol beter tegen geluidsoverlast, aldus het demissionaire kabinet. Maar de Inspectie Leefomgeving en Transport, die de wet moet handhaven, is uiterst kritisch. Regels die bewoners moeten beschermen zijn „niet handhaafbaar” en „niet uitvoerbaar”, stelt ze, en de wet zou zelfs meer geluidsoverlast mogelijk maken.

Pakistan on Sunday lost their blockbuster clash with arch-rivals India by 61 runs, being bowled out for 114 in Colombo. With the win against Pakistan, India made it to the Super Eight. Pakistan, however, will have to beat Namibia in their last group-stage match on February 18 to qualify for the next round. After the match, criticism of the national team’s performance flooded social media, coming from former players and cricketing icons. Former Pakistan player and commentator Ramiz Raja called the match “a bit of a disaster — especially batting”. “India have been fielding [the] same bowling attack against Pakistan since last two or three years, and every time [the] batsmen have been woefully ordinary,” he said in a post on X, adding that there was no growth. Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain Mohammad Yousuf took aim at Shaheen Shah Afridi, Babar Azam and Shadab Khan, saying that “time’s up” for them. “Pakistan’s T20 squad needs new performers, not empty wins against weaker sides,” he said. Former opener Ahmed...

JHELUM: A man was arrested on Sunday after he reportedly attacked cleric Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza, the police said. Per a first information report (FIR), a copy of which is available with Dawn, the incident took place in Jhelum at Mirza’s Qur’an-o-Sunnat Research Academy at the end of a lecture. According to the complainant Muhammad Kashif Qureshi, a core member of the academy, attendees were returning home after listening to the lecture, but some of them stayed back to take selfies with Engineer Mirza. “Just then, a man attacked Engineer Mirza by grabbing his collar, throwing punches at him, and removing his turban,” the FIR quoted Qureshi as saying. “He violently threw his honourable turban onto the ground, strangled him with both hands to suffocate him, and loudly chanted slogans,” he added. Qureshi was quoted as saying that people present at the site of the incident intervened immediately to protect the scholar. “We then handed him over to the police on duty to ensure that legal action is taken against...

Kunnen we de Amerikanen nog vertrouwen? Dat is de belangrijkste vraag op de veiligheidsconferentie van München, en niet iedereen antwoordt volmondig met ‘ja’.

There are nights when Pakistan versus India feels like theatre: breathless, chaotic, hanging by a thread. And then there are nights like the one in Colombo. At the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, this was not a last-over classic or a heart-stopping choke. It was clinical. India posted 175, Pakistan were rolled for 114. A 61-run defeat. No controversy to dissect, no umpiring debate to hide behind, no “if only” moments to cling to. Just a gulf. Here are five takeaways from a game that was disappointingly straightforward. Agha’s captaincy: bold or baffling? Salman Ali Agha did not hide behind convention and that alone deserves akcnowledgement. He decided to chase on a slow Colombo surface that was expected to grip more under lights. Bold. He opened the bowling himself and dismissed Abhishek Sharma for a duck - poetic, especially after publicly stating he wanted the Indian opener to play. He even promoted himself to bat at no.3 earlier in the tournament, leading by example. But bold decisions are a double-edged sword. O...
