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

2026/08/07

Drought’s biting grip on the country is sparking fury as the government refuses to declare it a natural disaster — and thus, no emergency funds for businesses. With rivers so low they’ve grounded houseboats, shut locks, and canceled ferries, economic losses could hit hundreds of millions. Yet ministers insist droughts are entrepreneurial risks, not government bailouts — even as technicians question who’s really to blame. While dikes and drinking water remain top priorities, long-term fixes like

The Castle That Rose from the Sand | Amsterdam News

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

2026/08/07

Step back in time to the Brederode Ruins, a once-mighty castle that rose from the sands near Amsterdam. Built by one of Holland’s richest noble families in the 1300s, it evolved into a fortress of power and luxury — until Spanish troops torched it during the Eighty Years’ War, letting wind and dunes erase it from sight for centuries. Rediscovered in the 1800s, it became a national monument — and a romanticized ruin when an architect added fake arrow slits. Today, visitors climb its towers and

Philip Morris just got hit with a major blow from Dutch regulators after using AI to flood public comments in support of its tobacco lobbying campaign — 71% of the “citizen” feedback was fake, generated by AI it owned and paid for, turning a supposed public consultation into a sneaky ad that violated tobacco advertising bans.

The Dutch dictionary Van Dale is finally adding “vulvalippen” — a neutral, stigma-free term for labia — replacing the outdated and shameful “schaamlippen.” This landmark change, driven by decades of activism from groups like Dolle Mina and the newer Schaamteloos campaign, signals a cultural shift toward normalizing conversations about female anatomy and sexuality.

Philip Morris got slapped down by the Dutch watchdog for running an AI-powered campaign disguised as public consultation to push back against EU tobacco rules — it’s still advertising, they ruled. Doctors exposed the scheme, revealing Philip Morris controlled the AI tool that generated misleading pro-vape content and even flooded legislative feedback with fake citizen input — nearly 75% of submissions were AI-generated.

A banner reading “Depla Dood” — meaning “Depla Dead” — sent shockwaves through Breda after being hung just before a big football game. The mayor’s life was threatened, but police hit a wall until they uncovered the culprit via a photo on seized phones of fans caught rioting later that year. Four men, three from Breda and one from Oosterhout, were arrested — facing up to four years for threatening a public official. The motive? Possibly tied to a canceled pre-game party at a café that shut down

2026/08/07

Despite government efforts to slash childcare costs, two-thirds of parents still pay more than the official hourly cap—leaving hundreds in extra expenses each year.
