Israël verwoest expres huizen?!

I'm Rick, here with Sophie and Dan on the terrace.

And we've got something totally unexpected from today's news.

It's about phones and screens.

And honestly, it's way more interesting than it sounds.

Let's dive in.

Hey, would you like to hear it?

I'd like to eat something on NOS.

Oh no, Rick has read the whole NOS again.

What is your new year?

Is there Elf?

Where do you live?

Huisen, Steden...

And that's a tactic.

A tactic?

How do you mean?

Well, they do express it.

People have to go away.

That's the plan.

That sounds logical, actually.

Logically?

That's still suspicious.

Yes, suspicious.

But I'm going to take the tactic.

Yeah, I'm going to take the tactic.

But still.

How many people are going away?

A lot.

Thousands.

Maybe more.

Go away.

And then?

Where are they going to go?

That doesn't make NOS exactly.

But I think it's pretty cool.

No, I understand.

Maybe the Netherlands?

Yes, maybe.

Wait a minute.

Is this new or long?

A little while.

But now it's more about NOS.

Um, Rick.

How do you make this?

Um, seven hours of night.

Seven hours?

You're sick.

No, man.

I'm just asleep.

That's always coming from the news.

Logically.

Maybe, yeah.

But how does that tactic work?

Uh, just for fun.

People are scared.

Go away.

That's why they always do that.

Not only Israel.

That's right.

But this is very big.

Yes.

I think it's very big.

Just ordinary people.

Exactly.

No soldiers.

ordinary people with houses and children.

Mm-hmm.

That's the bad part.

The bad part?

It's all bad.

Okay.

Okay.

You're right.

The comments on nu.nl are even more sadder.

How then?

Everyone screams at each other.

Super aggressive.

That's always so on nu.nl.

Why do you read those comments?

Because I'm scared.

I think.

Yeah.

That's right.

Thank you, Sophie.

But okay.

It's a serious work.

Yes.

I think it's hard to think about.

I actually.

But you still have to know.

I understand.

Information is important.

You read news.

We read it from you.

Handling.

See you.

I'm bored.

You're our free news app.

Exactly.

But then with coffee.

Trust me.

Your coffee is also cold.

Oh no.

Wait.

This is all my third.

Ha-ha-ha-ha.

On news and coffee.

Yeah.

I'm now alone.

But seriously.

I hope it goes better in the banana.

Yeah.

Me too.

Mm-hmm.

Hopefully fast.

Okay.

Enough news for today.

Who wants to drink something?

Finally a good idea.

Okay.

Yeah.

But no coffee for you anymore.

Ha-ha-ha.

No.

You're right.

Tade on.
