What can you expect today?
- Taiwan holds parliamentary and presidential elections. The relationship with China is one of the most important themes. China wants an end to the eight-year rule of the China-critical DPP party. That party is in the best position according to the polls.
- The major search for missing Yoran Krol (16) has started. The first volunteers in Sleeuwijk (North Brabant) will start the search at 10 a.m. The boy has been missing since December 24. His bicycle has been recovered.
- It is the second day of the European Short Track Championships in Poland, including the finals for men and women on the 1500 and 500 meters. The finals can be streamed live on NOS.nl from 1:12 PM.
- The Dutch water polo women will compete against Spain in the final of the European Championships in Eindhoven. The match can be seen live on NOS.nl from 8:15 PM.
What did you miss?
The US military has again carried out air strikes on Houthi rebel targets in Yemen. The army confirms the attack on Yemen and says it has bombarded a radar site. The army wants to undermine the ability of the Houthi rebels to attack ships in the Red Sea.
The attacks are on a smaller scale than those of last night. Then more than thirty locations were bombarded in a joint attack by the United States and Great Britain. The Netherlands, Canada, Bahrain and Australia supported the attack.
The Houthi rebels in Yemen, who are backed by Iran, have been attacking ships in the Red Sea with alleged ties to Israel for weeks.

And then this:
The Italian Alessio Galli and the Hungarian Hanna Jakucs have been competing in figure skating for the Netherlands for three years. During that period they have become the best Dutch dance couple on the ice.
Yesterday at the European Figure Skating Championships they stood out mainly because of their act. On Another One Bites The Dust from Queen, the two danced to 29th place. Galli showed a lot of physical resemblance to singer Freddie Mercury, including characteristic mustache:
