Missed news? Dudley keeps a good house and Ireen Wüst closes an impressive Olympic career. This and more in your overview | Region

Good evening! Didn’t have time to follow the news today? With this update you will be informed within 2 minutes.




You will not have missed it: storm Dudley kept quite a house today in the east of the Netherlands. Strong gusts of wind caused considerable damage last night and this morning.
And we’re not done with it yet, because tomorrow even a heavier storm is waiting for us: Eunice.

The fire brigade in Apeldoorn found a deceased person today in a fire in a shed with a roof. The police are investigating the cause and whether it is arson.

The mouth cap is disappearing everywhere, except on the train: conductors and drivers of the Dutch Railways are done. ‘It is beyond explaining to the travelers.’

What do you do if you try to convince the municipality of Apeldoorn for years make your home more accessible for your scooter and get zero on the bill every time? Ron let it be known in his own way that he was sick of it.

Jutta Leerdam had to settle for a silver medal today in the 1000 meters behind an unapproachable Miho Takagi. Without a big mistake after the first cross, she thinks gold could have been possible.

Top favorite and lead actress in a doping soap Kamila Valieva failed to win figure skating in Beijing. The 15-year-old Russian messed up her leading position in the freestyle and ended up next to the Olympic podium.

Ireen Wüst drove the last race of her impressive Olympic career today† In the 1000 meters there was no more than sixth place, but because of her previously won medals in Beijing, she strengthened her status as the most successful Dutch Olympian ever.

Tomorrow, storm Eunice will cause extremely stormy weather in the afternoon and evening. In a large part of the country it is stormy with very strong wind gusts (100-120 km/h). The wind will create dangerous conditions. It will be about 11 degrees.


American Vincent Simmons was sentenced to 100 years in prison for an alleged rape, and had now served 44 (!) years. Until he got out this week. And all thanks to Marian from Ijsselmuiden, who has always believed in his innocence.

A dramatic traffic accident prevented that at the last minute the Brazilian Bruna Moura from Nunspeet could go to the Olympics. It was certainly not the first time she had to deal with adversity. Who is this fighter?
