Podcast: The Most Good People Don’t Chuck Bukowski Edition
Like exhausted generals at the Somme, the VVD gear up for one last push to get their asylum bill through parliament before the new cabinet takes office. Drones from Russia – or possibly MediaMarkt – cause consternation in the skies and ground aircraft in Eindhoven.

Amsterdam introduces a licensing system for second home buyers, as first-timers benefit from an exodus of private landlords. And a chance discovery in Australia solved a 450-year-old maritime mystery.
