The mission to realize the “strictest asylum policy ever” takes another twist as housing minister Mona Keijzer bans local councils from giving refugees priority housing while Marjolein Faber gives them a €30,000 incentive to do exactly that. Women's rights, higher education and Unicef are no longer relevant to the Dutch national interest, Reinette Klever declares as she slashes development aid funding. A cabinet crisis on Ukraine is averted when Geert Wilders waters down his opposition to sending more military aid. Two Dutch clubs claim big Italian scalps in the Champions League. And to the chagrin of the king, long queues are expected when 18 works by Rembrandt go on show as part of Amsterdam's 750th birthday celebrations.
