MIVD alert to Russian ‘clumsy spies’
No trains, city transport and football matches. The unions are going on a major strike next week because talks about early retirement have stalled. Financial reporter Joost Spijker tells us about the requirements, the pain points in the negotiation and what we can expect next week.
It could be the title of a spy novel: “Department 29155.” But this department of the Russian spy service GRu really exists, and its actions are remarkable, to say the least: reusing pseudonyms and unbelievable cover stories are no problem and they have already committed many blunders. Now they are targeting the countries that provide aid to Ukraine, such as the Netherlands.

Rottweiler wanted to kill girl (14): ‘Bent more than 50 times’
The Rottweiler that instinctively wanted to get rid of a 14-year-old girl in Vlodrop in Limburg on Tuesday afternoon was freaking out. How can a dog become so out of his mind? And what should parents pay attention to with dogs and children around? Reporter Mascha de Jong spoke to a dog behavior expert to prevent horrific biting incidents such as those in Limburg.
From Friday, YouTube will take stricter action against videos that can be harmful to young people. Entertainment reporter Rosanne de Jong wonders whether it will work.

Podcast Rundown: Where Controversy Meets Comedy
Hello everyone! Welcome to another episode of “Let’s Talk About Everything!” where we whip through the week’s news faster than you can say, “Late-night at the pub!” And believe me, there’s a lot to dig into!
Episode Highlights
Let’s kick it all off with some spicy takes from our podcast summary. The titles alone are enough to raise eyebrows and maybe a couple of heart rates!
- ‘NPO mainly serves itself instead of public affairs’: Sounds like they need a dose of reality, or perhaps just a good meal? Maybe they should try cooking for the public instead of just for themselves!
- ‘Only 31 people wanted to stop the arrival of controversial Palestinian activist’: I guess it’s not a proper protest until at least 100 people show up…or if you’ve brought pizza!
- Deadly explosion in Ede: ‘People were literally blown out of their beds’: I mean… literally? Maybe they should consider using softer bedding for a safer sleep!
- ‘Copper thief back’: Train disruptions, delays, and angry travelers!: I don’t know who’s stealing copper, but I bet they’re friends with the guy making off with all the left socks!
Now, it seems like the Dutch media landscape is a bit of a circus lately, but who needs a big top when you’ve got headlines that could double as stand-up routines?
Drama and Controversy
Week after week, it’s like watching your favorite show unfold with plot twists almost too bizarre to believe. Remember the controversial Palestinian activist? It was practically a reality show pitch meeting in there—“Keeping up with the Complainants!”
Here’s a quick run-through:
- ‘Agreement on early retirement is a piece of cake’: If retirement were a cake, I’m not sure folks are getting the right flavor. More like marble cake—mostly bland with a few “wow, that’s sweet!” moments.
- ‘Dramatic figures for failed Joker film’: The only thing scarier than a failed movie is the thought of my last few attempts at cooking dinner!
Asylum Seekers and More
And let’s not forget about the pressing issues surrounding asylum seekers. It’s like trying to herd cats—except the cats are tweeting about their opinions on the matter!
If only there were as many return hubs for opinions as there are for rejected asylum seekers… would make things much simpler for everyone involved!
Striking Strikes
The unions are gearing up for a massive strike, and I can’t help but wonder—will they offer a game show prize of early retirement to the lucky last person standing? Or perhaps an all-expenses-paid trip for a peaceful protest? The twist is, there’s no vacationing until there’s an agreement!
Conclusion
All in all, what do we learn from these delightful escapades through podcast headlines? That the world is as unpredictable as a drunk uncle at a wedding! Keep your humor sharp, your opinions warmer than your coffee, and if you ever find yourself caught in a blowout at Ede, just remember: it’s all part of the ride!
We’ll be back next week with more amusing adventures through the world of news, because who said current affairs can’t be entertaining?

MIVD alert to Russian ‘clumsy spies’
No trains, city transport, and football matches are scheduled as unions prepare for a major strike next week, following stalled discussions regarding early retirement negotiations. Financial reporter Joost Spijker offers insights into the negotiation’s complexities, pinpointing the primary pain points, and evaluating expectations for the imminent strikes.
The Russian espionage unit known as GRU, specifically department 29155, is indeed a real entity, and its activities raise serious concerns. Their methods, which include reusing pseudonyms and concocting unbelievable cover stories, have led to numerous operational errors. This department is currently focusing its efforts on undermining nations, like the Netherlands, which support Ukraine.

Podcast Rundown: Where Controversy Meets Comedy
Episode Highlights
Welcome to another episode of “Let’s Talk About Everything!” This week, we’ve got our finger on the pulse of all the crazy happenings around us—let’s dive in!
- ‘NPO mainly serves itself instead of public affairs’: Someone needs to remind them that public service isn’t synonymous with personal service!
- ‘Only 31 people wanted to stop the arrival of controversial Palestinian activist’: A protest with 31 attendees—sounds like a party with only a few pizza bags!
- Deadly explosion in Ede: ‘People were literally blown out of their beds’: Security tip of the week: stay away from beds near known explosives!
- ‘Copper thief back’: Train disruptions, delays, and angry travelers: Maybe we should just start a “Find the Missing Copper” reality show!
Drama and Controversy
It seems the Dutch media is putting on quite the circus lately! Your favorite show has all the plot twists, but can it rival the drama of “Keeping up with the Complainants”?
- Agreement on early retirement is a piece of cake: If retirement’s that easy, someone please share the recipe!
- Dramatic figures for failed Joker film: Think of it as the worst sequel nobody asked for—like the one where your aunt keeps adding raisins to the potato salad.
Asylum Seekers and More
The debates and discussions around asylum seekers have certainly taken center stage. If managing opinions came with a manual, it’d be the best-selling ‘How to Herd Cats’.
Striking Strikes
The unions are planning a strike—spoiler alert: it’s going to be dramatic! Will the person left standing at the end win a trip to a tropical protest destination? Only time will tell!
Conclusion
From the wild headlines to lighter moments filled with humor, this week’s podcast is proof that our world is just unpredictable enough to be entertaining. Keep your coffee warm and your humor sharper than usual—we’ll see you next week with more delightful escapades through current events!
Dutch media landscape is bustling with drama that could rival any soap opera. Let’s highlight a few more eyebrow-raising occurrences:
- Early Retirement Discussions: The phrase “agreement on early retirement is a piece of cake” might sound sweet, but let’s be real—if only life were that simple! It’s more likely to be a fruitcake that nobody wants at this point.
- Train Disruptions and Thievery: With the ongoing chaos caused by the “copper thief,” who knew rail travel would become a treasure hunt? Perhaps we should give the thief a makeover and call it “The Great Copper Caper”!
And speaking of pressing matters, the asylum situation is no laughing matter. Navigating those waters is tough, and opinions are flying around like ping-pong balls, illustrating just how complex and sensitive these themes are.
Lastly, organizations are primed for strikes as negotiations stumble. The unions are drawing a line in the sand, and let’s just say, they’re not playing games. If only there were rewards for those enduring negotiations—perhaps a reality show twist with a cash prize for the last person standing!
As we wrap up this episode, it’s clear that current affairs are anything but dull. Stay tuned for our next episode where we’ll bring you even more hilarious insights and light-hearted takes on the madness of the week!
Keep laughing, keep questioning, and remember: in a world that often feels chaotic, humor might just be the best remedy!
