Later This Evening, a Silent March Will Be Held in the Same City for the 34-Year-old Woman Who Was Shot Dead in Her Home Last Week

A court case begins today in The Hague against a man suspected of carrying out an attack on the D66 party office. Later this evening, a silent march will be held in the same city for the 34-year-old woman who was shot dead in her home last week. Meanwhile, Colombia has declared a state of economic emergency four days after a severe earthquake.

The measure frees up funds to speed up repairs to homes, hospitals and schools damaged in the quake. The 7.4-magnitude earthquake has so far killed at least 265 people. That number could rise significantly, as many people are still missing.

In sports news, Jonas Phijffers secured a bronze medal in the 400 meters at the European Athletics Championships. The 23-year-old Dutchman ran a strong final sprint to set a new national record of 44.41 seconds. The weather will be tropical today, with temperatures ranging from 32 degrees Celsius in the north to 36 degrees in the south of the country. Travelers can check traffic jams, roadworks and rail conditions before heading out.
