bi Wekdienst 9/5: Demonstraties in Duitsland • Benefiet in Caribisch deel koninkrijk By nos.nl Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 08:14:48 +0200 Goedemorgen! In Duitsland zijn er demonstraties tegen de coronamaatregelen in het land, en Jandino Asporaat organiseert een benefiet. Het wordt een overwegend zonnige dag. Met 20 tot lokaal 26 graden wordt het nog een stuk warmer dan in de afgelopen dagen. De noordoostenwind is zwak tot matig. Ga je vandaag de weg op? Hier vind je het overzicht van de werkzaamheden. Check hier de aangepaste dienstregeling voor het spoor. Wat kun je vandaag verwachten? Het is in Rusland de Dag van de Overwinning. Het is 75 jaar geleden dat het Rode Leger nazi-Duitsland versloeg. Vanwege de coronacrisis zijn er dit jaar geen militaire parade of veteranen op het Rode Plein. Wel vliegen er gevechtsvliegtuigen over Moskou. In Duitsland zijn in diverse steden demonstraties tegen de coronamaatregelen van de regering. Er worden duizenden deelnemers verwacht. Cabaretier Jandino Asporaat organiseert vanavond de live benefietshow Samen één Koninkrijk. De show, waarmee geld wordt ingezameld voor inwoners van Curaçao, Aruba en Sint-Maarten, is direct na het NOS Journaal van 20.00 uur te volgen op NPO 1. Wat heb je gemist? Verpleeghuizen hebben sinds begin maart al geprobeerd hun personeel te laten testen op het coronavirus, maar werden geweigerd door laboratoria, terwijl die soms voldoende testcapaciteit hadden. Zelfs toen half maart bezoek aan verpleeghuizen werd verboden vanwege besmettingsgevaar, werd het personeel niet getest. De tests werden geweigerd omdat onduidelijk was waar in Nederland er beschikbare capaciteit was. Het grootste laboratorium van Nederland, Star-shl, had naar eigen zeggen wel capaciteit, maar weigerde aanvankelijk verpleeghuizen, omdat het RIVM dit voorschreef. "Marktwerking leidde de afgelopen tien jaar tot een wildgroei aan laboratoria", schrijft Trouw, dat samen met Argos en De Groene Amsterdammer het journalistieke onderzoeksplatform Investico inschakelde om het nieuws over de tests te achterhalen. "Waar voorheen één of twee labs per regio waren, zijn er nu landelijk ruim honderd. Volgens GGD'ers en arts-microbiologen is het overzicht zoek."

KNVB-plan voor oefenwedstrijden in augustus biedt FC Utrecht hoop: de bekerfinale tussen Feyenoord en FC Utrecht is door de coronapandemie van de agenda gehaald. Utrecht hoopt alsnog op doorgang: de bekerwinnaar verdient een ticket voor Europees voetbal. En dan nog even dit: In Nederland is een vulkaan ontdekt. Het gaat om een 150 miljoen jaar oude uitgedoofde vulkaan. Hij ligt 100 kilometer ten noordwesten van Texel, en is bij toeval door de Geologische Dienst Nederland gevonden. De nieuwe vulkaan is Mulciber genoemd, naar de Romeinse God van vuur en vulkanen. De diep begraven Mulciber werd herkend aan afwijkingen in de structuur van de ondergrond en het aardmagnetisch veld op die plek. De vulkaan is de tweede van Nederland. Vijftig jaar geleden werd de eerste gevonden, in de Waddenzee. Fijne dag! Full Article
bi Minister kijkt naar plan om eis motorrijbewijs voor automobilisten te verlagen By nos.nl Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 11:38:49 +0200 Minister Van Nieuwenhuizen (Infrastructuur en Waterstaat) kijkt "serieus" naar een voorstel om het theorie-examen voor een motorrijbewijs te schrappen voor ervaren automobilisten. Zo moet het laagdrempeliger worden voor mensen om een motor aan te schaffen. Het gaat in het plan enkel om het A1-motorrijbewijs, waarmee lichte motoren met een cilinderinhoud van maximaal 125 cc bestuurd mogen worden. 'Motor past in anderhalvemetersamenleving' De RAI Vereniging diende als branchevereniging van auto en motor-importeurs het voorstel in. Vanwege de coronacrisis neemt de behoefte om individueel te reizen toe, zegt RAI Vereniging-voorzitter Steven van Eijck. "En op het moment dat iedereen massaal in de auto stapt, groeit de druk op ons wegennet", stelt Van Eijck. "De motor sluit goed aan bij de wens voor meer individueel vervoer in de anderhalvemetersamenleving, zonder dat het risico op files te veel toeneemt." De vereniging geeft verder aan dat in dertien andere Europese landen, waaronder in buurlanden Duitsland en België, de eisen voor het motorrijbewijs eerder al zijn verlaagd voor automobilisten. De besluiten waren in die landen wel voor de coronacrisis genomen en een woordvoerder van de RAI Vereniging erkent dat importeurs gebaat zijn bij de verkoop van meer motoren. "Maar het maatschappelijk belang staat bij ons voorop", zegt hij. "Met een motor kun je snel en zuinig van A naar B en het biedt mensen meer keuzevrijheid." Verkeersveiligheid Minister Van Nieuwenhuizen onderstreept in haar reactie op het voorstel dat motorrijden in de praktijk om andere vaardigheden dan autorijden vraagt. Of het niet ten koste gaat van de verkeersveiligheid als automobilisten met een motor de weg op mogen, zonder theoretisch te zijn bijgespijkerd? "Het praktijkexamen mag niet komen te vervallen. Laat dat duidelijk zijn", benadrukt de woordvoerder van de RAI Vereniging. "Maar wij denken dat het schrappen van het theorie-examen niet ten koste gaat van de verkeersveiligheid. Ervaren automobilisten hebben die kennis al. Er valt hoogstens een administratieve last weg." Full Article
bi Schade bij beschieting luchthaven van Tripoli By nos.nl Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 17:44:19 +0200 Bij een zware beschieting van de luchthaven van de Libische stad Tripoli is een opslagtank voor kerosine in brand gevlogen. Ook zijn een of meerdere vliegtuigen beschadigd geraakt. Het Libische ministerie van Transport zegt dat de beschieting het werk is van troepen van rebellencommandant Haftar. Die probeert al een jaar lang om de Libische hoofdstad in handen te krijgen. Hij doet dat met steun van de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten, Egypte en Rusland. De regering in Tripoli wordt gesteund door Qatar, Turkije en Italië. Wie is wie in het conflict, en waar gaat de strijd over? Een korte uitleg: De internationale luchthaven Mitiga is het laatste vliegveld bij de hoofdstad dat nog in gebruik is, al is dat beperkt. De burgerluchtvaart komt er vanwege herhaaldelijke beschietingen sinds maart al niet meer. In januari ondertekenden zestien landen en organisaties op een top in Berlijn een slotverklaring. Daarin was overeengekomen dat de ondertekenaars zouden stoppen met het leveren van wapens aan Libië. Volgens de Verenigde Naties komt een deel van de ondertekenaars die afspraak niet na. Full Article
