Zembla

Zembla is a Dutch television documentary programme by VARA and NPS. The documentaries are based on in-depth research which can take months. The subjects are often controversial.

A documentary in 2001 about fraud in the Dutch construction sector led to parliamentary inquiries.

In May 2006 the programme exposed the fact that politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali had lied in her claim for asylum, which led to her resignation from parliament.

Beroepsziekte niet erkend

Every year, around 3,000 people die in the Netherlands due to exposure to hazardous substances at work. Many become ill and have to struggle for years for recognition. Employers are obliged to record exposure data and keep it for 40 years, but this often does not happen. This makes it difficult to link an illness to work. Experts say the protection system is failing. Victims and relatives seek recognition. A new institute should ensure faster compensation, but this will take years. At the same time, calls are being made in The Hague for rules to be relaxed.
