Asylum minister Marjolein Faber produces her rapid-response emergency plan to deal with the urgent refugee crisis, a mere six months after taking office. Police believe the explosion in The Hague that cost the lives of six people may have been the work of an enraged ex-boyfriend. Farmers’ party minister Jean Rummenie outlines his strategy on problem wolves and how to deal with them. An auction house is widely rebuked for selling a skull that may have been stolen from an African tribe. And the sporting week is dominated by darts, draughts and some Quick Boys.
