But the College Democrats insist their worries are also rooted in what they see as the Biden campaign’s unwillingness to grasp the scope of how difficult it is becoming to engage young voters. A mixed picturePolling of young voters on the Israel-Hamas War, specifically about its effect on Biden’s campaign, presents a mixed picture. Only 18% of young voters approved of Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war, according to the Harvard/IOP poll. Seth Schuster, a spokesman for the Biden campaign, touted its investment in engaging young voters. It is even hard for young people to talk to other young people about how to do this,” the Democratic strategist said.

Hoekstra needs to win a positive assessment from the EU Parliament and pass a potentially close vote in the assembly with majority support. If appointed, Hoekstra is expected to assume responsibility for climate change policies in the EU Commission. He belongs to the Dutch Christian-Democratic CDA party, part of the European People's Party group in the EU Parliament. Bas Eickhout, a Green EU lawmaker, said Hoekstra would need to prove his commitment to Europe's climate change agenda. He'll have a tough time convincing the European Parliament that he's the right man for the job," said Paul Tang, a Dutch Socialist member of the EU Parliament.

☆ Dutch PM Rutte faces no confidence vote after collapse of government
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-10 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

AMSTERDAM, July 10 (Reuters) - Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte faces a no confidence vote in parliament on Monday which could end his run as the longest serving government leader in Dutch history, three days after he abruptly handed in the resignation of his fourth administration. Normally a no confidence vote wouldn't threaten Rutte, as he could count on the support of his four-party majority government. The leader of the liberal D66, the second-largest party after Rutte's conservative VVD, said the prime minister had behaved "irresponsibly", while the Christian Democrat CDA called him "reckless". Coalition partners have not made clear if they will support the no confidence vote during the debate, scheduled to start at 0815 GMT. Rutte, 56, became prime minister in 2010 and is the longest serving government leader in the EU after Hungary's Viktor Orban.

A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed a wrongful death lawsuit that claimed TikTok was responsible for the death of a 10-year-old who took part in the so-called Blackout Challenge. The challenge, which encourages participants to choke themselves until they pass out, had appeared on the child’s TikTok For You Page, according to court documents. The lawsuit was among several that have been filed related to the Blackout Challenge in the last year. In July, the families of two young girls also sued TikTok after their children, aged 8 and 9, died of self-strangulation while participating in the Blackout Challenge. A TikTok spokesperson told NBC News that the challenge had never trended on the platform and predates the app’s existence.

Un bărbat a trăit trei luni în aeroportul din Chicago de teama Covid-19Un bărbat a fost descoperit că a trăit într-o zonă securizată din aeroportul internaţional din Chicago timp de trei luni, iar el a spus poliţiei că i-a fost prea frică de Covid-19 să se întoarcă acasă, în Los Angeles, relatează The Guardian. Aditya Singh, în vârstă de 36 de ani, a fost arestat în weekend şi acuzat că a pătruns într-o zonă restricţionată a unui aeroport şi furt, a scris Chicago Tribune. După aproximativ trei luni, sâmbătă după-amiază, Singh a fost abordat de doi angajaţi ai United Airlines care i-au cerut documente de identificare. Hagerty a spus că Singh a găsit legitimaţia în aeroport şi că „se temea din cauza Covid-19 să plece acasă”. A fost precizat că incidentul va fi anchetat în continuare, nefiind clar cum a fost posibil ca timp de trei luni bărbatul - „care nu reprezintă un risc pentru securitate” - să nu fie remarcat în aeroport.
