Interessante, visionære samtalepartnere er lykkeligvis ikke en mangelvare på verdensscenen, og som journalist har man det privilegium ret ofte at få sine helte og heltinder i tale. Men sandheden er, at jeg allerhelst ville tilbringe min julefrokost med en helt anden og langt mere kedelig type. Nemlig den ultrakonservative husmor Betty Draper fra den amerikanske tv-serie Mad Men om en flok ansatte på et reklamebureau i 1960’ernes New York, som jeg for nylig har genset. Selv om Betty nok er den mindst progressive karakter i den populære parodi på tidens kønsstereotype…

Tallene alene fortæller en tung historie: Omkring 14.000 borgere har et alkoholmisbrug, og derudover drikker yderligere knap 60.000 skadeligt meget. En del af os har måske haft perioder, hvor vi har drukket mere, end vi burde. Det har dog aldrig taget styringen over mit liv, for jeg har ikke et afhængighedsgen, der arbejder imod mig. Men endnu mere tænker jeg på den mand, jeg ofte møder på morgenløbeturen. Bliver jeg et bedre menneske af at tilbyde hjælp - eller et dårligere, hvis jeg forholder mig tavs?

Sider du midt på stolen, eller læner du dig lidt til højre eller venstre? Jeg spørger, fordi midterpartierne i dansk politik i disse dage begynder at læne sig mod deres respektive fløje. Det lugter af politisk positionering frem mod et folketingsvalg næste år. Denne artikel handler blandt andet om det sidste – den internationale konvention – som trækker tråde til det kriminelle bandemiljø i Aalborg. Desuden får du også historien om en ide fra en nordjysk politiker på Borgen og en opdatering på, hvordan det står til med nye afgifter på elbiler.

Nordjyske mænd taber terræn. Især dem på landet. I en række nordjyske yderkommuner er mænd med ikke-vestlig baggrund nu bedre til at komme i job end danske mænd. Kurverne har for alvor krydset hinanden, og på kyllingeslagteriet Danpo i Aars står virkeligheden lysende klar. Her arbejder 44 nationaliteter side om side på en af Nordjyllands store arbejdspladser.

Historien, du fårSeks nordjyske kommuner gav for nylig endeligt ja til at skyde en halv milliard kroner ind i et nyt anlæg udenfor Aalborg. Som derefter skal laves til flybrændstof på et andet anlæg lige ved siden af. Og et stort prestigeprojekt for politikerne. Men hvad får de nordjyske kommuner og affaldsselskaberne for den halve milliard? Og hvad får nordjyderne ud af det?

En af de unge, en 21-årig mand, som sad på bagsædet af bilen, er i kritisk tilstand efter ulykken, oplyser vagtchef Michael Mow fra Nordjyllands Politi. Føreren, en 24-årig mand, mistede herredømmet over bilen og ramte et stendige og en hæk, før bilen endte i en støttemur. Den 24-årige fører og en 20-årig passager, som sad på forsædet, er ikke kommet alvorligt til skade. Alle tre unge er fra lokalområdet, og de pårørende er underrettet. Han har fået taget en blodprøve og er sigtet i sagen, siger vagtchefen.

Politiet har stadig ikke pågrebet den mistænkte person i det universitetsskyderi, som foreløbig har kostet to studerende livet. De mange betjente leder blandt andet efter den mand, som politiet formoder står bag. Det fortalte Providences borgmester, Brett Smiley, på et pressemøde.

Fem mænd er blevet tilbageholdt under mistanke for at planlægge et angreb på et julemarked i det sydlige Tyskland. Anklagemyndigheden mistænker, at motivationen bag det formodede angreb var det, som myndighederne omtaler som islamistisk, muligvis udført ved hjælp af et køretøj. Flere tidligere angreb på julemarkederHvornår angrebet skulle have fundet sted, eller hvor konkrete planerne var, fremgår ikke. Sikkerheden ved tyske julemarkeder er en høj prioritet for Tysklands myndigheder, efter at der flere gange er sket angreb ved juletid.

They also agreed that AI has the potential to alleviate the administrative burden that physicians at these hospitals often face. Tan said that it’s important to take context – like frequent physician burnout in rural hospitals – into account when evaluating risks and benefits. The FDA currently regulates AI technologies that are intended to evaluate and diagnose health conditions because they are considered medical devices. To mitigate these risks, Tan said “worker upscaling needs to go hand in hand” with the adoption of AI technology. But Tan and Chagal-Feferkorn both expressed concern that under-resourced hospitals will attempt to adopt AI technology as a cost-cutting measure without the necessary staff and safety infrastructure.

The Conservatives have announced proposals to end the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars and cut the legal requirement on car manufacturers to sell electric vehicles. It would also completely end the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars. “By scrapping the ZEV mandate and the ban on petrol cars, we are putting fairness and common sense back into the system and saving money for taxpayers. The previous Conservative government delayed the ban on new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 to 2035 in 2023. A U-turn now would create chaos after years of preparation for electric cars, wasting effort, risking jobs and leaving Britain stuck in reverse while the rest of the world accelerates towards cleaner, cheaper cars.

But Heiss says this voting bloc’s behaviour in the runoff remains unpredictable: another candidate, economist Franco Parisi, 58, appeared to benefit from their backing. Now, she said, it is difficult to know where Parisi’s votes will go, since, unlike the other defeated rightwing candidates, he did not endorse Kast in the runoff. Still, “if we trust the polls, everything indicates that Kast should be the winner”, said Castiglioni. In a presidential debate, Kast twice claimed that “1.2 million people are murdered each year in Chile”, a completely unrealistic figure. Even without any sign of support from his political lodestar, Kast has continued to revere Trump and his actions.

The Democratic party (DP) has been Hong Kong’s main opposition since its founding three years before the financial hub’s return to Chinese rule in 1997. The party used to sweep city-wide legislative elections and push China on democratic reforms and upholding freedoms. “To have journeyed through these three decades, shoulder to shoulder with the people of Hong Kong, has been our greatest honour. Throughout these years, we have always treated the wellbeing of Hong Kong and its people as our guiding purpose,” Lo said. China has said no freedom is absolute and that the national security law has restored stability to Hong Kong.

The US government’s claims that Europe faces “civilisational erasure” because of mass migration are an attempt to score political points against Muslims, the home secretary has suggested. Shabana Mahmood dismissed the idea that European civilisation and national identities were under threat because of migration and said the UK had managed the challenges of multiculturalism “very well”. Her comments are the strongest response from a government minister so far to Donald Trump’s national security strategy. It says the US wants “Europe to remain European” and “regain its civilisational self-confidence”. It celebrates the influence of “patriotic European parties” and says “America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit”.

Chileans gear up to cast their ballots in run-off election, with far-right candidate Jose Kast gaining ground in polls. Jara, the candidate for the governing left-wing coalition, was narrowly ahead of Kast in the first round last month. The 51-year-old had garnered nearly 27 percent of the vote against Kast, in second place with 24 percent of the votes. Many voters say they cannot bring themselves to vote for Jara, who is a member of Chile’s orthodox Communist Party. Jara says she will resign from the Communist Party if she wins, but that has not convinced some voters.

Gwynne said Burnham was a “close family friend” and that there had been “no conversations at all with him about me standing down”. However, pollsindicate McMahon’s seat would be lost to Reform and that Labour faces losing other previously loyal voters in the constituency to pro-Palestinian independents. Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, when asked about the latest Burnham speculation, said everyone in Labour had a “role to play” in supporting the government.

The ceasefire endorsed at the ASEAN summit was constructed as the foundation for a broader roadmap. AdvertisementSecond, ASEAN should establish a standing trilateral crisis group composed of Thailand, Cambodia and the ASEAN chair. Yet none of these institutional tools will matter unless political leaders in Bangkok and Phnom Penh are prepared to confront the past honestly and consider compromises that may be unpopular. The collapse of the recent ceasefire should not be viewed merely as another unfortunate episode but as a sign that Southeast Asia’s security architecture remains incomplete. The region has made impressive progress in building economic integration and diplomatic habits, but when it comes to managing high-stakes territorial disputes, structural weaknesses persist.

Those glowing online reviews were fake. National Trading Standards (NTS), the consumer protection and enforcement body, issued a warning recently that criminals are using paid individuals, bots and, increasingly, AI to generate fake reviews “on a mass scale”. Estimates vary as to what proportion of all online reviews are fake. It adds that if there is an extremely high percentage of five-star reviews, “consider how likely it is that so many people found the product to be ‘perfect’. says one way to get a more balanced view of a product is to ignore the five-star reviews.

Chris Curtis, the co-chair of the Labour Growth Group, said at the time she would be an “exceptional addition” to the Treasury.

Paris says EU member states cannot vote on the trade agreement in its current state. France has urged the European Union to postpone a vote on a trade deal with the South American bloc Mercosur, saying conditions are not yet in place for an agreement.

Kast’s victory is seen as part of a recent trend of right-wing victories across Latin America, including in Argentina and Ecuador. Far-right candidate Jose Antonio Kast has won a runoff election to become Chile’s 38th president, ousting the centre-left government currently in power. The tally also marks a significant comeback for Kast himself, the 59-year-old leader of the Republican Party. The 2025 election marks his third attempt to win the presidency — and his first successful bid. During the last election, in 2021, he was trounced by outgoing President Gabriel Boric, who won by nearly a 10-point margin.

The training and qualifications body City & Guilds is shrinking its UK workforce as part of a £22m cost-cutting drive after it was acquired by a private Greek business in October. In the autumn it was announced that the charity was selling its training and awards business, City & Guilds (C&G), for an undisclosed sum to PeopleCert, an international certification company. PeopleCert informed investors this month that the deal offered a “compelling opportunity to make [C&G] a leaner organisation”. The document implies that C&G, which has 1,800 staff, has a churn rate equivalent to about 340 people leaving a year. The Greek company will retain the City & Guilds brand for its training courses.

The Philippine coastguard claims the vessels it deployed to aid the injured fishermen were also repeatedly blocked. The Philippines has accused Chinese coastguard ships of firing water cannon at Filipino fishermen near a disputed South China Sea shoal, injuring three people and causing “significant damage” to two fishing vessels.

There has been a history of clashes between Chinese and Philippine vessels in the South China Sea, as each side seeks to assert its territorial claims.
