Physics-Based Indicators for the Onset of an AMOC Collapse Under Climate Change – publication
There is a growing risk that the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) collapses to a significantly weaker state under climate change, researchers write in the Research Article “Physics-Based Indicators for the Onset of an AMOC Collapse Under Climate Change“.
This AMOC tipping event causes a substantial shift of the global climate. It is therefore important to assess the risk of such an event under future climate change, but this requires long climate model simulations which are not always available. A robust indicator is developed, that accurately predicts the onset of an AMOC tipping event and works under different forcing configurations and for different climate model simulations. Under a high-emission scenario (SSP5-8.5), the likelihood of an AMOC tipping event occurring in the century is high and reduces for lower emission scenarios (SSP2-4.5). If the AMOC starts to collapse, it takes more than 100 years to reach a substantially weaker state. During that transition, the Northwestern European climate would change drastically and is expected to see colder winters, less rainfall, and more severe winter storms.

#RememberSlavery Anti-slavenhandeldag / Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition 2025
In de nacht van 22 op 23 augustus 1791 begon in Saint Domingue (nu Haiti) de opstand die een cruciale rol zou gaan spelen bij de afschaffing van de transatlantisch
Ten tijde van het Romeinse Rijk was er een levendige handel van slaven uit van het hele rijk en de omringende gebieden. Het woord “slaven” is dan ook afgeleid van de Slavische volkeren, vanuit de Romeinse optiek “‘barbaarse” volkeren waarvan de Romeinen slaven kochten. Na opkomst van het Christendom verdween de slavernij en de slavenhandel uit West-Europa. Met het ontstaan van de wereldhandel en de behoefte aan goedkope arbeidskrachten in de Koloniën gingen West-Europeanen zich echter wel met slavernij en slavenhandel inlaten. Slavenhandelaar

Space Weather Follow On-Lagrange 1
Space Weather Follow On-Lagrange 1 (SWFO-L1) is a spacecraft mission planned to monitor signs of solar storms, which may pose harm to Earth’s telecommunication network.
The spacecraft will be operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), with launch scheduled for no earlier than September 23, 2025. It is planned to be placed at the Sun–Earth L1 Lagrange point, a location between the Earth and the Sun. This will allow SWFO-L1 to continuously watch the solar wind and energetic particles heading for Earth. SWFO-L1 is an ESPA Class Spacecraft, sized for launch on an Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle Secondary Payload Adapter (ESPA) Grande ring in addition to the rocket’s primary payload. The spacecraft’s Solar Wind Instrument Suite (SWIS) which includes three instruments will monitor solar wind, and the Compact Coronagraph (CCOR) will monitor the Sun’s surroundings to image coronal mass ejection (CME). A CME is a large outburst of plasma sent from the Sun towards interplanetary space. Together with space weather observation capabilities on the Earth-orbiting GOES-U satellite, SWFO-L1 constitutes the space segment of NOAA’s Space Weather Follow On (SWFO) program. The aim of the SWFO program is to ensure the robust continuity of space-based measurement of the critical space weather environment. All of the spacecraft located in L1 which are currently monitoring CMEs and the solar wind have operated beyond their design lifetime. SWFO-L1‘s SWIS instruments will replace ACE’s and DSCOVR’s monitoring of solar wind, energetic particles and the interplanetary magnetic field while CCOR will replace SOHO’s LASCO (Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph) imaging of CMEs.
Countering Chinese State-Sponsored Actors Compromise of Networks Worldwide to Feed Global Espionage System – publication
People’s Republic of China (PRC) state-sponsored cyber threat actors are targeting networks globally, including, but not limited to, telecommunications, government, transportation, lodging, and military infrastructure networks.
While these actors focus on large backbone routers of major telecommunications providers, as well as provider edge (PE) and customer edge (CE) routers, they also leverage compromised devices and trusted connections to pivot into other networks. These actors often modify routers to maintain persistent, long-term access to networks. This activity partially overlaps with cyber threat actor reporting by the cybersecurity industry—commonly referred to as Salt Typhoon, OPERATOR PANDA, RedMike, UNC5807, and GhostEmperor, among others. The authoring agencies are not adopting a particular commercial naming convention and hereafter refer to those responsible for the cyber threat activity more generically as “Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actors” throughout this advisory. This cluster of cyber threat activity has been observed in the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and other areas globally. The Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA) “Countering Chinese State-Sponsored Actors Compromise of Networks Worldwide to Feed Global Espionage System” includes observations from various government and industry investigations where the APT actors targeted internal enterprise environments, as well as systems and networks that deliver services directly to customers. This CSA details the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) leveraged by these APT actors to facilitate detection and threat hunting, and provides mitigation guidance to reduce the risk from these APT actors and their TTPs. The authoring agencies strongly urge network defenders to hunt for malicious activity and to apply the mitigations in this CSA to reduce the threat of Chinese state-sponsored and other malicious cyber activity. Any mitigation or eviction measures listed within are subject to change as new information becomes available and ongoing coordinated operations dictate. Network defenders should ensure any actions taken in response to the CSA are compliant with local laws and regulations within the jurisdictions within which they operate.

Tweeminutendebat plus stemmingen over de situatie in Gaza [UITGESTELD]
De Tweede Kamer komt op donderdag 21 augustus 2025 terug van het zomerreces, tijdens een regeling van werkzaamheden zal Kamerlid Sarah Dobbe (SP) verzoeken om een tweeminutendebat plus stemmingen te houden over de situatie in Gaza.
De Tweede Kamer zet op vrijdag 22 augustus het debat voort over de situatie in Gaza. Er zijn ook stemmingen over de moties die de Kamerleden een dag eerder hebben ingediend. Op 21 augustus besloot de Kamer om het debat en de aansluitende stemmingen af te breken en op vrijdag 22 augustus te vervolgen. Dit vervolg is na de wekelijkse vergadering van de ministerraad. Minister Caspar Veldkamp van Buitenlandse Zaken, met wie de Kamer het debat voert over Gaza, kan daar overleggen over het onderwerp. Tijdens de vergadering kreeg Veldkamp geen steun voor meer maatregelen tegen Israël en nam ontslag. Omdat de vergadering uitliep, is ook het tweeminutendebat nogmaals uitgesteld. Met een tweeminutendebat kan het commissiedebat (CD) over hetzelfde onderwerp van 7 augustus worden afgerond. De regeling van werkzaamheden, waarin de Kamer haar agenda bepaalt, wordt gehouden op verzoek van 38 Kamerleden. Tijdens die regeling kan de Kamer besluiten om het tweeminutendebat te houden. Ook kan zij besluiten tot stemmingen na het tweeminutendebat over eventueel ingediende moties. Een tweeminutendebat is een kort debat waarbij iedere politieke partij twee minuten spreektijd krijgt. Zo’n kort debat wordt gebruikt om een onderwerp plenair af te ronden. Kamerleden kunnen moties indienen, hetgeen tijdens een commissiedebat niet mogelijk is.
