What can you expect today?

The Asylum Seekers Distribution Act is being discussed in the Council of Ministers. According to sources in The Hague, that law has hardly been amended by State Secretary Eric van der Burg (Asylum Affairs), despite strong criticism of that law from, among others, the Council of State. child benefit affair. Such appeals often come in. That is why the procedure at the Implementing Organization for Recovery Allowances is now being discussed “in a broader context”. Due to injuries and numerous sick players, national coach Ronald Koeman has a considerably weakened selection. The court in Amsterdam is once again holding a preparatory hearing in the case of the murder of crime reporter Peter R. de Vries. There are now seven men suspected of involvement, including the alleged executors and client.

What did you miss?

ProRail is allowed to expel the badgers under the track at Esch. Last night, the rail manager received an exemption from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO). Because badgers are a protected species, they cannot simply be expelled.

“We can let the badgers leave the track with measures,” says ProRail. The work may only take place during the day, because badgers are nocturnal animals. Due to the badger sett under the railway, no trains have been running between Den Bosch and Boxtel since Tuesday.

ProRail already started preparations yesterday. The railway embankment has been mowed to make the site less attractive to badgers and check valves have been installed at the ends of the corridors of the badger sett. This gives the badger the opportunity to safely leave the burrow overnight, but the non-return valves prevent it from returning to it. This morning the excavation of the badger sett begins.
