When you are at the grave of your mother in Colombia and you have to think of Derk Bolt, then something has gone wrong. Marthainès de Vries, one of the adopted people who go through Trace -free The wrong family was linked, was in Colombia in recent days to meet her real biological family for the first time. By the mismatch of Trace -free She came too late: her parents had died.
And in the cemetery she thought of presenter Derk Bolt and his notorious statement from 2022. He then said that Trace -free No blame found the mismatches because “error margins” are simply included. Shit Happens. De Vries: “When I stood by the grave, I thought:” This is therefore the result of a margin of error. ” She collapsed: “You get angry, you are sad and it hurts so much.”
She returned to talk show on Monday Eva (NPO 1) to talk about the reunification and about the end of Trace -free. KRO-NCRV promised Friday that the controversial program will not return to TV. De Vries said it was never her intention to stop the program, but that this was inevitable. Furthermore, she pointed out that the end of Trace -free Not much solves for the victims. Her reunification worker Fiona Teggatz even fears that the disappearance of Trace -free Further investigation will get in the way. She wants all 841 matches out Trace -free be held against the light again.
Derk Bolt has completely distanced himself from the mismatches. The margin of error in his statements is still great. I suspect that KRO-NCRV will have to pay a lot for that.
Monday was also the third birthday of the war in Ukraine. It Eight -hour journal (NPO 1) had a militant report about a group of women in the city of Boetsja who shoot Russian drones out of the sky with old weapons from the Second World War. They call themselves the witches of Boetsja.
Jelle Brandt Corstius draws in his new VPRO travel series From Moscow to Maidan (Sunday, NPO 2) Through the country at war. In the first episode, he bends over the dilemma of all Ukrainian resilient men: fighting or fleeing. They need to be required in military service, but some prefer not to die and try to get out of the country or go into hiding. A female border guard at the border with Romania tries to stop them. She finds flights cowardly: “If a crazy neighbor breaks in and the father flees through the window, then that is wrong.” After three years of war, the army desperately needs every man so people in hiding are actively detected. The Ukrainian colleague with whom Brandt Corstius makes the series is also taken from his car and sent to the front.
Brandt Corstius wants to tell more about the background of Ukraine, the history and culture, but in the first episode he is not yet entitled: it is only about the war. Intensable probably, but that makes his program distinguish itself too little from the many other reports about Ukraine.
The awake Bram Vermeulen is with Front line (Sunday, NPO 2) already working on the next European war. According to him, Kosovo is jumping on. The tiny Republic originated from the Yugoslav civil war (1991-1999), but neighboring Serbia, friend of Russia, would like to have it back. Serbian terrorists already commit attacks. What happens when President Trump withdraws the American troops from Kosovo? Vermeulen makes an exemplary report about it, which at the same time is rather disturbing – there are more regions outside of Ukraine that the turn in American foreign politics causes unrest. Trump delivers Bram Vermeulen before years of work.
