31 mayors of larger Dutch cities are calling on the Senate not to remove the appointment of mayors from the Dutch constitution, and to keep the procedure as is.

Waterboard Rijn en IJssel will use pike to get rid of "illegal" goldfish in Arnhem's newly constructed city stream. City residents released the goldfish in the the stream because they found the new concrete waterway on the boring side, but as goldfish are exotics the waterboard is worried that they will supplant the native fish in the Rijn, ANP reports.

The waterboard is therefore now releasing pike into the Jansbeek, in the hope that the predators will eat the goldfish. 

The police infiltrated the group of seven suspects arrested last month for planning a major attack in the Netherlands.
