Amsterdam News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! ·

2026/08/18

Plant-based foods are now cheaper than meat and dairy at nine major Dutch supermarkets for the first time ever—thanks to inflation hitting animal products harder. On average, plant-based staples like mince and cheese cost 18% less, with some items like butter nearly half the price. Store-brand alternatives and expanded product lines have helped drive affordability, though specialty items like mayonnaise still lag behind. Prices vary by store, but the overall trend signals a major shift in

A brand-new Egyptian tortoise, smaller than a paperclip, just hatched at Rotterdam’s Diergaarde Blijdorp — and it’s a conservation win. This zoo manages the entire global population of this critically endangered species, where every hatchling matters.

2026/08/18

The government’s scrambling to seal next month’s budget deal, short on votes and racing against time. They’re eyeing a risky alliance with either the left-leaning PRO party—willing to compromise on defense and education but fiercely opposed to cutting social security—or the right-wing JA21, which demands deeper welfare cuts and tax reductions. PRO’s stance is gaining traction with unions threatening strikes, while the VVD, part of the current coalition, insists on no cuts and rejects PRO

2026/08/18

Amsterdam-Zuidoost is on high alert as gun violence surges, prompting police to deploy sweeping stop-and-search powers in key neighborhoods — including H-buurt, K-buurt, and Nelson Mandelapark — for the next week. With eighteen firearm incidents between June and August, including a chilling near-miss when a stray bullet pierced into a child’s bedroom, authorities are doubling down after last summer’s similar measures.

2026/08/18

A Dutch court unexpectedly released a 33-year-old man accused of threatening Princesses Amalia and Alexia, despite holding him since January after finding axes with Nazi slogans and a chilling diary entry about a “bloodbath.” Though prosecutors claimed he was delusional—believing he received orders to take the princess to Poland—the lack of evidence showing intent to harm led to his release pending final verdict in August. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, he now faces long-term treatment instead

2026/08/18

A mysterious man collapsed in Amsterdam on May 10th, suffering what appeared to be a brain bleed or stroke—only to vanish into the city’s shadows. Known as “Lucky” at a temple on Middenweg, he was also recognized by a different name at a local cafe, hinting at multiple identities. Speaking English with an accent that suggests U.S. or Canadian roots—and possibly Nepal ties—he left behind few clues. Police are racing to solve this cold case, piecing together every lead in hopes of uncovering who

Water inspectors in Noord-Brabant are being threatened for enforcing drought rules that ban water extraction from streams and ditches between 9 AM and 9 PM—so serious it’s drawn police involvement. The Brabantse Delta water board, covering vast territory, says the threats are unacceptable and that its staff, working daily to manage a critical water shortage, deserve protection. The board chair stands firmly behind his team, calling the behavior “messed up” and emphasizing their good intentions

With no systematic tracking of these implants, doctors often miss the connection, leaving patients skeptical and underserved.

A mysterious man known only as “Lucky” vanished three years ago in Amsterdam, now living in a care home with severe aphasia—he speaks only “nonsense” and “definitely,” with an American or Canadian accent. Despite a massive public response and over 140 tips on day one, DNA and fingerprint searches have turned up nothing. Investigators are piecing together conflicting clues: he was “Chris the Canadian” at a cafe, part of a Buddhist community, and possibly wealthy—or homeless. Two retired officers

Dutch drought relief is finally here—but don’t get your hopes up. A two-week rain spell may help ease parched soil, but won’t magically fix the crisis. Rivers like the Rhine and Maas are at historic lows, and even with the rain, water levels won’t surge overnight. Groundwater recovery? That’s a multi-year project.
