About this episode

The episode discusses the Japanese emperor's visit to a war memorial, the World Cup match between the Netherlands and Japan, a gym explosion in Amsterdam, and issues in Limburg with small furry invaders.

The Japanese emperor visits the national war memorial to commemorate the victims of his country's occupation of Indonesia. Over at the World Cup, Oranje do their bit for diplomatic relations by conceding a late equaliser to Japan in their opening game. Police believe a blast that destroyed a gym in Amsterdam was caused by cashpoint robbers making their own bombs. Explosives are also found at the site of a planned refugee centre that has been repeatedly targeted by extremists. And Limburg is struggling to keep out an influx of small furry invaders.
