News alarm: Corona press conference + Fin whale skeleton

Good morning! How nice of you to watch the News Clock. Here you can read what will happen today and what you may have missed tonight.

Again

Today will be a cloudy day. In the south of the country there is the best chance of some sun rays. The temperature is about 4 degrees everywhere.

You may have missed this:

– The quarantine rules for schools to change. That’s what the OMT says. This is a group of corona experts who advise the government. They believe that students under 13 without complaints should no longer be quarantined. Also, whole classes no longer have to go home if there are three or more infections, the experts say.

– The country played Comoros in the Africa Cup without a real goalkeeper. Due to corona infections and injuries, all goalkeepers who traveled with them were not available for the coach. There was someone in goal: Chaker Alhadhur. He is normally the left back. Alhadhur did well, but the Comoros still lost 2-1 to Cameroon.

– The James Webb telescope has arrived at its final destination. About 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. Here the mirrors of the telescope can collect light from planets and stars. With this, scientists hope to learn more about the universe. Earlier we made this video about the telescope:

This is in the news today:

– There’s another one tonight corona press conference. As always, a bit has already leaked out about what Prime Minister Mark Rutte and corona minister Ernst Kuipers are going to say. For example, everything can probably open again until 10 p.m. Also restaurants, cinemas and amusement parks. Fewer people can be inside at the same time. As a result, birthday parties can probably also be celebrated in these places. We have a statement about this.

– A few years ago there was a fin whale to Texel. The skeleton of the animal has been prepared for some time to go to Ecomare. Chris Walen has been working on that for a while now. And he made a discovery: this is the largest fin whale that has ever washed up in the Netherlands! Evita visits him. Tonight you can see it in the Youth News.

And then this:

Have you always wanted to have your own zoo? Which can. There is one for sale in Veldhoven. You have to have a lot of money for it: 5 million euros. And it is also useful if you don’t mind scooping poop.
