Only women at the helm

Eva Jinek announced Friday that she was unexpectedly going on maternity leave a week earlier and Nadia Moussaid made her debut with Late One five weeks later, the alternative talk show. The first topic was the crowds on highways and airports at the beginning of the holiday period – a topic you do not give to a talk show host, let alone a first night.

Telegraaf -journalist Yteke de Jong was billed as "Schiphol-Critic" and met expectations : she did not think it was okay with the queues at the security and warned against the strike planned by the KLM pilots.

ANWB's Rian Vreeburg was sitting at the table on the highways, but she too could not explain the mystery of the Black Saturday. Moussaid: "What are your advice?" Vreeburg: "We advise people to leave sooner or later." Moussaid: "Why are we so hard?" Vreeburg: "I think people would like to go on vacation."

It became more exciting for the next guest, the Belgian diver Ben Reymenants. He helped the rescue effort of the football team in the Thai cave. At the sight of the compilation of images from Thailand The Reymenants were almost too angry but Moussaid gave him plenty of room for his story. Initially, Moussaid made a hasty impression, but as the evening progressed, she took the lead more and more calmly. She will prove to be a worthy substitute for Jinek.

After Reymenants, Sander Schimmelpenninck was told about his new program De Opvolgers . In this one, he speaks with old and new generations in family businesses and he shows what tensions he generates when one generation has to take over from the other. This was illustrated by the last guest, Rahma El Mouden, who appears in the Schimmelpenninck program. She recently transferred her cleaning company with five hundred employees to her daughter, while promising pictures of the mother and daughter were shown at the De Opvolgers preview. The motto of El Mouden: only women at the helm.

This was what the creators of Sign of the Times thought, a series of docu EO in which twelve women reflect on the world of today. 39; hui. The theme of the first episode was democracy, but there were so many issues of review – immigration, ecological farming, identity politics – that one could wonder what the other episodes would look like. The program had received more attention, but that does not mean that there were beautiful monologues.

For example, the Yemeni activist Tawakkul Karman, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011 and who was named "mother of the revolution," spoke of the Arab Spring and why it does not exist. was not lost. Philosopher Judith Butler pleaded with a sense of drama for a more fluid idea of ​​identity. The documentary pieces, like the one about Fran Watson, candidate senator in Texas, also have more taste.

Biggest Word

In Coen Verbraak, at the table of religious leaders, it was the "highest word": the sacred texts and their interpretation. In particular, the daily interaction with the rules has proven uplifting and is accompanied by their own vocabulary. For example, there is Shabbatgoi the non-Jew who reveals himself on Shabbat because Jewish law forbids the operation of the device on the day of rest. Meanwhile, the goi has been replaced by the Sabbath clock, which turns on the lights automatically when it's dark and makes the refrigerator open at regular intervals so that the beer can also be drunk cold on the Shabbat.

Hindu priest Ashis Mathura explained how they adapted their rest day to the Dutch weekly schedule, and now they meet on Sunday morning – convenient because there is free parking in Rotterdam, and the people can quickly get to football.
