Escape the spring heat by watching NOS’s full rerun of the 1985 Elfstedentocht
The mission to realise the “strictest asylum policy ever” takes another twist as housing minister Mona Keijzer bans local councils from giving refugees priority housing while Marjolein Faber gives them a €30,000 incentive to do exactly that.

And to the chagrin of the king, long queues are expected when 18 works by Rembrandt go on show as part of Amsterdam’s 750th birthday celebrations.
