Private Notes
What has happened in politics? Many provinces want to stop the #air alarm. But isn't there a way to preserve it, in a form that suits the times?
The parliamentary year has started again, so we ask politicians about their holidays. Douwe Egberts is still in Russia. How is that possible? And why don't they want to leave? Tonight's guest is NOS correspondent Iris de Graaf.
Does Caroline van der Plas regret her choice for Mona Keijzer? And we stand up for Louis van Gaal, who is under fire all over Latin America. Politics does not make Freek de Jonge happy. What makes him happy then?
More and more students continue to live with their parents. Fortunately, there is now a way for them to still experience student life. And we go through the VVD candidate list. It was bad weather for months throughout Europe, and it was the hottest summer EVER measured. What's going on with the climate? High time for a round of viewer questions.
There is unrest in the Party for the Animals. The Dutch still throw away far too much food. That's why today started the week against food waste. But do we know how best to store our food?
We discuss the latest campaign news. Influencers everywhere are trying to sell them to you: nutritional supplements. But do healthy people really need so many pills?
More and more countries want to go there: the moon. But why exactly? He previously opened for Jerry Seinfeld. American comedian Mark Normand is our guest.
A while ago the EU concluded a migration deal with Tunisia. But what exactly does that deal entail? Termites, bats, rats and crayfish: it's chock full of pests. We review them all in the Fauna news.
Budget Day is coming! So we're already looking ahead. It was a busy sports weekend: Jumbo-Visma dominated cycling again. Things are still going badly for Ajax. And a darts player was pelted with an eggplant. The Netherlands says goodbye to an icon: Gerrit Hiemstra has retired as a weatherman. How are we supposed to know what the weather will be like?
It was Alexia's first Budget Day. But she wasn't allowed to do much. How do you get through such a boring day? In the Netherlands it is often not worth working more. And yet there are staff shortages everywhere. How is that possible? He worked undercover at Bol, Uber, Wehkamp, Schiphol, as a Speed Courier, and as a traffic controller. Our guest is undercover journalist Jeroen van Bergeijk.
Ajax is in a crisis. But there is also good news: we have added a world heritage in Friesland. The VVD is quite good at it: pump populism. Make gasoline cheaper to win votes. But who really benefits from this? What's the most embarrassing moment comedy duo n00b has experienced? We play the Shame Game with them.
We look at the General Considerations. And we are making a Texas-proof version of Het Achterhuis. Dangerous dog breeds are already banned in many countries. But not in the Netherlands. While thousands of biting incidents occur every year, sometimes with fatal consequences. Shouldn't that be over?
There were six election rallies this weekend. We'll visit them all. And then there was also the Tata Steel festival. Last weekend was a historic low for Ajax. Will the club ever be okay again? We talk about it with sports editor Diederik Smit.
More and more parties are announcing their candidate lists. And health insurance premiums have gone up. Online gambling is getting completely out of hand. Since legalization, half a million new gamblers have been added in 2 years. How is this possible? For years he was the voice of Lingo. But he never showed his face. Until now... JP Pellemans.
The Dutch World Cup shirts were auctioned, but the money did not go to charity. How could this happen? And we discuss the much-discussed dispersal law. Measure your temperature instead of taking the pill. More and more young women are switching to 'natural contraception.' But that is certainly not without risks. From whom does Kasper van der Laan get his charisma?
We discuss the campaigns, trade in propaganda pandas and say goodbye to Groningen gas. The NS wants to make traveling during rush hour more expensive, but the House of Representatives does not want that. We received a lot of questions about it.
The 50Plus conference got out of hand. Van der Plas is going to star in a Sinterklaas film. A pro-Russian politician has won the elections in Slovakia. It was another eventful sports weekend. RKC-Ajax was shut down, the Netherlands won bronze at the European Baseball Championship, but were still not happy. And at a golf tournament a supporter ended up in the water. All those emails you get when you order something online. Is that really necessary?
Wopke Hoekstra wants to succeed Timmermans as European Commissioner for Climate. But his resume smells kind of like gasoline. How is he going to convince the European Commission? A tax on plastic. That seems like a good idea. But does it also work? Well, that's just the question. How do you make science fun for a large audience? No one knows that better than Ionica Smeets. She even got an award for it!
More and more young people are vaping. That doesn't just happen. The tobacco lobby is doing everything it can to get young people to use e-cigarettes. It's animal day. And that means: Fauna journal. Containing the latest news about biting dogs, French bed bugs, political pets and sleeping polar bears. She is a podcast maker, actress and comedian. And now she's on tour with a new show. Tig Notaro is our guest!
Tonight we will visit all the campaigns again. We look ahead to (the CO2 footprint of) the 2030 World Cup. And we celebrate that the thousandth VVD member has become a lobbyist. We have been working on it for ten years, but it is still not legal: cultured meat. How is that possible? And what does it actually taste like?
Hamas has attacked Israel. And that leads to divisions and dilemmas in the public debate. It's sweet, unhealthy, and funds almost the entire sports world: Red Bull. How far does it actually go? The intention was for a new generation to become acquainted with art. But now it is mainly hordes of adult men who are targeting the Pokémon cards from the Van Gogh museum. Is that ethically responsible?
The political parties have brought all documents to the Electoral Council and romantic news from Brabant. There will be elections in Poland next Sunday. And they are actually between two major parties: Donald Tusk's Civic Platform and the PiS party. Our guest is Jawad Es Soufi. He is touring the Netherlands with his fourth performance: 'Harira' and he succeeds like no other in filling the halls with young, new theater audiences.
Because the police cannot be everywhere, citizens are increasingly taking action as vigilantes. But how far can it go? Bernie Sanders, the most popular senator in the United States, is our guest.
X (former Twitter) is full of fake news about the war in Israel. Yet Elon Musk refuses to do anything about it. The pay gap between men and women has grown again. Yet many Dutch men feel that their position is under pressure. Who has it the hardest? The acceptance of LGBTI people in football is declining. And then the KNVB also decides to no longer make the OneLove band mandatory. How cowardly. That is why we have come up with a new captaincy.
The Dutch national team has almost qualified for next year's European Championship. How did the match go? We discuss it with Diederik Smit. Our guest today is Jochem Myjer.
Pieter Omtzigt has a new party with new faces. But they look very familiar to us... And there are more debates than ever this year. What's up with that? The whole of the Netherlands is being built up with uniform holiday parks. And all by one company: Roompot. When is it going to end?
Trucks carrying aid are finally allowed to cross the Gaza border. However, there are some obstacles. The number of monarchies is decreasing worldwide. Should Willem-Alexander fear for his job? Tex de Wit investigated it! It's autumn. And that can only mean one thing: WNL is going back into the woods.
Yesterday the debate season kicked off at College Tour. The Netherlands is participating in the Cricket World Cup in India, and is apparently doing well at it. And how will Ajax prepare for next season? We are bombarded with advertisements everywhere. You really aren't safe anywhere anymore. Not even on the toilet.
The government can do less and less itself. Instead, very expensive external agencies are hired. And that makes the government even less smart. How do we solve this? Good news for Undercover fans: there will be a new series, 'Ferry: the series'. And actress Elise Schaap is very excited to get back into her role.
It has now been three weeks since Hamas's attack on Israel. But the history of this conflict goes back much further. And although that history is very complex, we would like to try to delve deeper into it.
Most parties want the king to pay taxes. So he is already practicing his declaration. The House is on election recess. And where is the Tour de France next year? Oat milk will become considerably more expensive from next year because of the soft drink tax. But what exactly is oat milk, and why does it make so many people angry?
Rutte has to look for a new job. But does he want to teach, or go to NATO? This weekend South Africa won the Rugby World Cup. Is it really that hard in that sport? And finally some positive news about Ajax: they are world news! People who call on speaker, watch Tik Toks out loud on the train, or blast their music on the beach. Can this noise ever end?
Yesterday Omtzigt and Timmermans debated in Arnhem. And they agreed on almost everything. Meanwhile, party leaders at NOS played a game on 3. Eccentric politician Milei is high in the polls in Argentina, a country struggling with poverty and inflation. But can the far-right chainsaw fanatic also keep his promises? Campaign time means: election posters everywhere. We review them with Peter Pannekoek.
Why do we still vote with a pencil and not a computer? We dive into the history of the red pencil! 2024 will be a leap year. To keep things clear, Ronald Snijders made a special calendar.
Storm Ciaran caused chaos everywhere today. And in the last episode of the season we hand out awards to politicians. It is one of the most controversial topics these elections: migration. But how many migrants are there exactly? Where do they come from? And how long do they stay? During election times, politicians pull off all kinds of debate tricks. What should you pay attention to? Tex, Diederik and Jonathan will debate it!
