Rental platform Airbnb is making a comeback

About the episode
Airbnb is making a comeback. The number of sleeping places in Amsterdam offered through the rental platform has more than doubled since the low point in the coronavirus period, according to research by BNR. This is evident from figures from the municipality of Amsterdam. At the end of September, 7,831 sleeping places were advertised on Airbnb in the capital city. In three-quarters of the cases, these are entire homes.

More than 40 world leaders are meeting today in Granada, Spain, for the third summit of the European Political Community. The initiative was launched by Emmanuel Macron following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. "It is an informal meeting about the future of Europe," says Europe correspondent Stefan de Vries.

Today is the last day of the parliamentary inquiry into Fraud Policy. But the most exciting interrogation was last night: that of the outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte. That interrogation lasted a long time and was occasionally prickly, says political reporter Mats Akkerman.
