14.12.2024The Day The Coffin Brought Cocaine
Following previous days' tensions over Rutte's war warnings, media attention shifted to multiple unrelated events. South Korean parliament's impeachment of President Yoon dominated morning coverage, while scientific reports warned of accelerating Gulf Stream slowdown. By midday, authorities intercepted a French vehicle carrying cocaine hidden in coffins on Dutch highways.

The Tarwekamp explosion aftermath continued with establishment of firework-free zones and a community meeting, while lawyer Gerard Spong, representing a suspect, faced cyber attacks receiving thousands of spam emails. Syrian coverage shifted from Assad's fall to Arab states' push for UN-supervised elections.

Evening brought renewed focus on climate policy effectiveness through courts versus summits, while Moscow's pressure tactics on Lithuania gained attention. PSV's unexpected second consecutive loss and Feyenoord's victory with Giménez's hat-trick concluded the day's coverage.
