What can you expect?
PvdA and GroenLinks announce how many members support Frans Timmermans as party leader. The board had only nominated him as a candidate, but the members could still let us know if they would like it. Leaders of the so-called BRICS countries are discussing the expansion of their club at a summit in South Africa. It now consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, representing about 40 percent of the world’s population. The major absentee from the summit is Russian President Putin, who is under an international arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Ukraine. Sifan Hassan will start in the evening at the World Championships in Budapest in the 1500 meters final. There are medal opportunities for Jorinde van Klinken in the discus throw.
What did you miss?
Former US President Trump will report to the Fulton County jail in Georgia next Thursday. He reports this on his social media platform Truth Social. It is not known when he will do that. “Can you believe it? I’m going to Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday to be arrested,” he writes.
The date was set during negotiations with the Fulton County District Attorney over bail, among other things. That deposit is set at $ 200,000 (more than 183,000 euros). That amount must be paid in prison no later than Friday afternoon, according to court documents.
In addition to the bail, it was agreed that Trump “will not take any action to intimidate a co-defendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the course of justice.” And, “The above includes, but is not limited to, social media posts or reposting posts made by another person on social media.”
