Earlier in the morning, at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, police arrested 125 activists and broke up a pr...

Choosing to homeschool my son was not an easy decision. He’s only seven, but will I really be able to give him the education he needs? Will he miss out on essential life skills if he doesn’t learn how to navigate crowds of kids in the playground, or overcome stage fright during his first school play? These are all very real questions that weighed on my mind for months as I struggled with the decision. But my son’s neurodiversity meant that most playtimes were being spent standing alone by the fence. He felt bullied and misunderstood. And his laser-sharp ability to focus on the often somewhat o...

As Flip Delmonte walks around the soon to be opened National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam, he's reminded of the city's dark history. Delmonte was just a baby when a relative and the Dutch resistance spirited him away from a teacher training college in Amsterdam's Jewish quarter during the Dutch capital's World War II Nazi Occupation. His parents were detained across the street at a theatre used by the Germans as a collection point for Jews to be deported to death camps in eastern Europe. They were among the 102,000 Jews deported from the Netherlands and murdered in the camps. The college Delm...

On Thursday, the European Parliament passed a regulation concerning the sharing and collection of data for Short-Term accommodation Rental services (STR). This piece of legislation is crucial for many European cities, in particular those facing housing shortages and challenges related to tourism. The main benefit for cities is that the regulation imposes data-sharing obligations on short-term rental platforms — data we have been demanding for years, but never received. These new obligations, including the mandatory removal of illegal advertisements, will help us enforce existing regulations. I...
