Former mayor of Groningen Koen Schuiling has to pay 250 euros for what is officially called embezzlement. The court in Zwolle considers it proven that he masturbated in his car in March 2024.

Since this morning, shipping on the IJssel between the IJsselkop and Zutphen may only sail in one direction. Rijkswaterstaat has reinstated the measure due to the low water level. As a result, ships have to circumnavigate another 300 kilometres. On Monday, the one-way traffic was still suspended , because the minimum depth on the Upper IJssel had reached the required 1.45 meters.
The municipality of Leeuwarden has to restore the zoning plan for the new residential area De Hem near Goutum in a few points. This was determined by the Council of State on Wednesday 14 October in an interim ruling. The Hem must provide space for a maximum of 395 homes. According to the Council of State, the municipality has not yet sufficiently justified the consequences of the chosen buffer zone between the district and the Hounspolder for the meadow birds in the area.
Good morning! Bus travellers beware: fewer buses are driving through strikes across the country today. And in Germany, the process surrounding the Nord Stream attack in 2022 is starting today. First the weather: it is dry and especially this morning the sun can be seen regularly.
There is a strike in regional transport today. Travelers should be aware of delays and trip cancellations. The exact impact becomes clear in the course of the day; it depends on how many employees are going to work anyway. The reason for the strike is the failure of collective bargaining.
From tomorrow, the municipality of Groningen will temporarily accommodate additional asylum seekers.

Not so much the production, but especially the distribution of products is a vulnerable point in food security in the Netherlands. This is what experts say about the cyber incident at Albert Heijn , as a result of which work was shut down and supermarkets were left with empty shelves yesterday. According to Pieter Zwaan of research institute Clingendael, supermarkets and suppliers work so efficiently that there are almost no stocks to be relapsed in the event of incidents or disruptions.
Tomorrow is the first strike day in regional transport, as part of a series of strikes that will continue until Christmas. In large parts of the country, there are no trains and buses from regional carriers Arriva, EBS, Qbuzz, Transdev and Keolis. The trains of NS do run normally. Last Friday, the trade unions FNV and CNV announced that they would strike one day every week because of failed collective bargaining negotiations.
Albert Heijn is struggling with a hacking attack or a serious attempt at one. Officially, the supermarket chain does not want to say what exactly its "cybersecurity incident" entails, but sources in the security world report that Albert Heijn has identified suspicious attack traffic on its systems. It appears that Albert Heijn IT security staff saw suspicious traffic coming in and decided to disable the IT systems. In this way they managed to prevent the hackers from penetrating deeper into the systems.
