Oma kan niet weg uit haar grote huis
Build a house for an elderly person, and help everyone. There is a great need for senior housing, the government says. Due to the aging population and the healthcare crisis, there must be 288,000 houses in which seniors can live comfortably, preferably together. This also helps against the housing shortage, because when an elderly person moves, a large house often becomes available, which leads to a series of moves. Yet municipalities hardly allow any additional senior housing to be built. The construction of senior courtyards, care homes and houses without stairs is even worse than normal housing construction. How is that possible?

Chronisch ziek in de bijstand
Elke (22) has been looking for a suitable job for years, but due to her autism and mental problems she keeps dropping out. Ultimately, she applies to the UWV for a Wajong benefit, a benefit for young people without the ability to work. You only get this if you can never work again. But how do you prove that when you are still so young? And can UWV doctors make such a prediction? Feline (37) can also hardly work due to various conditions. Yet she does not receive Wajong benefits. She has been on social assistance for years, including all the strict rules. Shouldn't we help young people with disabilities better?

Zijn huizen in aardbevingsgebied Groningen veilig?
The strengthening of the houses in the Groningen earthquake area is difficult. The reinforcement advice of the National Coordinator Groningen, which states whether or not a house should be reinforced, raises questions. Pointer receives dozens of tips from residents who say there are errors in the reinforcement reports they receive about their own home. Sometimes the drawings are incorrectly measured or are incorrect. Also, the advice is often not well-founded and cannot be checked because the calculations are missing. Can residents still trust that they live in a safe house?

Op de vlucht voor luchtvervuiling
All Dutch people live an average of eight months shorter due to bad air. And in some places the damage is even greater, such as in the west of Rotterdam. Highways, industry, an airport, shipping, animal husbandry and wood burning come together. However the wind is, you breathe in pollution. Citizens have therefore started their own measuring installations. With titles such as De Neuzen van Vlaardingen, they check the status in their own backyard. Residents see that air pollution sometimes goes far above the limit. They are proven right by scientists and even the measurement services. But what can you do then?

Leefbaarheid in arme wijken komt in de knel
Across the Netherlands you can see that the quality of life in neighborhoods with a lot of social rent is deteriorating further. Due to the allocation policy of social rental housing, status holders and people with, for example, psychological problems, addiction problems or debts are all placed together in one neighborhood. This creates an accumulation of problems in these neighborhoods. This increases the nuisance and you see neglect of public space. This is also the case in the Geitenkamp district in Arnhem. In recent years, many shops and facilities have also disappeared here, as a result of which residents are now resisting.

Boer zoekt pacht
By 2030 there must be three times as much organic farming. According to experts, leasing land to organic farmers is an important tool, because a third of all agricultural land is lease land. Why does the government as a big leaseholder often opt for the highest bidder? This also happens to organic farmer Pieter Boons. For years he leases a piece of land that he cares for with great love, but then the province of Noord-Brabant no longer renews its temporary lease. He loses the land to a farmer who offers more money, but is not organic. Does the government use their lease land to make it more sustainable or more like dairy cow?

Van Zweden: musici schetsen 'patroon van angst'
We investigate the working methods of the Netherlands' most famous conductor: Jaap van Zweden. A 'pattern of fear' emerges from dozens of conversations with musicians. We speak to orchestra members and people from the orchestra's staff, compare their stories and ask experts whether this is unacceptable behaviour. How serious is it? Musicians talk about calling in sick to get out of his way, about using medication and about years of stress. Why did no one intervene for all those years? And, could it be done differently?

Naschokken in Groningen
For years, residents of Groningen have been living in uncertainty. Their homes are damaged and the promised reinforcement of their homes is not forthcoming. They often receive piles of research reports from the National Coordinator Groningen about the state of their homes, but these are not always complete or contain errors. And in the homes that are finally reinforced, several residents are left with construction errors and defects in their homes. How can things go so wrong in Groningen? We investigate this together with the residents themselves, construction experts, politicians and lawyers.

Nederlandse Sonja maakt propaganda voor de Russen
In the war in Ukraine, Russia uses a special weapon: Dutch people crossing the border. Ordinary citizens who are done with Europe, cross over to Russia and spread stories from there that the Kremlin likes to see. One of them is the Dutch Sonja van den Ende. She moved from Twente to Moscow and now appears on Russian television with anti-Western stories. Her articles also appear in Dutch alternative media, often with disinformation. Like her, dozens of Westerners are spreading pro-Russian stories in Europe. Why do they do this? And to what extent do their stories already have an effect on politics?

Woningnood? Hier staan 90.000 huizen leeg
How is it possible that during this housing shortage, tens of thousands of buildings remain vacant and dilapidated for extended periods? Pointer takes a bizarre tour of empty churches, offices, shopping streets, and homes, some of which have been vacant for over twenty years. Frustrated property owners explain how rigid regulations have led us to this impasse. But the government is blaming the owners and wants fines for vacant buildings. Will that help? Or would we benefit more from the new generation of squatters? Or from 84-year-old Grandpa Kees from Gouda, who is converting empty buildings into homes himself. Will he help us out of this predicament?

Gaan vakantieparken de wooncrisis oplossen?
More than 60,000 Dutch people live in holiday homes, sometimes beautifully hidden in nature. Some are forced to do so, because the housing shortage leaves them nowhere else to go. Living like this is prohibited, so residents face inspections. Inspectors peer through windows and issue fines, while residents hide behind their sofas and become even more stressed. This has to stop, says the national government. Minister Mona Keijzer wants to grant residents ten years' permission to stay. But municipalities are resisting, and that's putting residents in a difficult position. Who should they listen to? And why are municipalities so fiercely opposed?
