The Finance Minister Blinks

After a day of criticism in parliament, Finance Minister Eelco Heinen says he'll change the box 3 plan so it spares small savers. Also today: an aid worker with Ebola is being treated in Leiden, the EU has stopped aid to Sierra Leone in a row over drug lord Bolle Jos, and Katwijk has approved Eli Lilly's pill factory. Plus a draft freelancer law, rivers too shallow to measure, a surgical first in Nijmegen and the Batavia's last voyage.
