Several thousand people converged on Dam Square in front of the Royal Palace to enjoy and pick the 200,000 free tulips, making gorgeous bunches for themselves from the rainbow of vibrant colors on offer.

EU-Turkey relations: EU denies reports of further Turkey aid cuts
Media reports about massive cuts in funding "are completely wrong and
misleading," an EU spokesman has said. The bloc cut pre-accession funds
to Turkey in 2017 and is not planning further cuts.

Switzerland-Davos 2020: American politics is the biggest risk facing the world right now, say experts
American politics is the biggest threat facing the world in 2020 and
the looming presidential election will stress the country's
institutions, influence economic and foreign policy and further divide
an already polarized electorate, with potentially huge consequences for
the climate, business and investors.
That's the view of experts at consultancies Eurasia Group and Control Risks.
The World Economic Forum, which is preparing to hold its annual meeting of political leaders and CEOs next week in Davos, is also warning of increased turbulence this year from trade conflicts and political polarization that makes it harder to tackle global challenges.

The Netherlands: Solar park taking shape along 40 km of road in the Netherlands – by Emiliano Bellini
The Dutch water management agency plans to install solar panels along
both sides of the A37 highway in Drenthe province, as well as on the
median strip, to cover 300 hectares in total. The project is part of a
plan to build projects on state land, as the domestic PV industry
continues to search for alternative surfaces on which to deploy solar.
The agency is now holding meetings with the Drenthe provincial government and the municipalities of Coevorden, Emmen, and Hoogeveen – as well as network operator Enexis Groep and distribution system operator Rendo – to discuss how the solar park will be developed.
The project, which is part of a government program to build renewable energy pilot projects on state land, will involve the installation of PV modules along either side of a 40-kilometer (25 miles) stretch of the highway, in addition to solar panels on the median strip between the two lanes. The project will span roughly 300 hectares in total, and will be built without having a strong visual impact on the surrounding landscape, Rijkswaterstaat explained. The agency conducted a preliminary spatial exploration study for the project in 2016.
