Amsterdam bans smoking joints in public in the latest stage of the capital’s 12-step plan to kick its drug tourism dependency. The political agenda is dominated by the long-running pension talks and fears of another asylum system meltdown this summer. Wopke Hoekstra flies to Beijing to reassure the Chinese that little things like war, genocide and industrial espionage won’t spoil a €73bn trade partnership. One football coach abruptly quits, another unexpectedly stays, while Ajax’s women have their league title celebrations cancelled so as not to humiliate the underperforming men’s team. And armed forces personnel face a grilling over claims that they used a training fund to procure luxury barbecues.
