The roof of a farmhouse on Noordeind street in Emmen caught fire this evening. The street was closed by the police.

The fire probably started at the back of the farm. Several fire engines were deployed to extinguish the fire in the thatched roof.

On Instagram, Emmer entrepreneur Vasco Rouw lets us know that he is the owner of the farm. “To be clear: it is not the house I live in, but the house that we were going to build. It was empty.”

The entrepreneur says that it is not clear what happened. “Luckily everyone is unhurt and no one was injured or anything. But it is wild, which is intense.”

317 Silver Coins Unearthed in Eindhoven: A Glimpse into our Past

During the restoration of an ancient farmhouse in Eindhoven, an earthenware pot containing 317 silver coins was found. The oldest coin dates from 1680, the most recent from 1824, reports the municipality of Eindhoven.

Because the coins are often badly damaged, the financial value is low. But the historical value is great. “The coins offer a wonderful insight into our past,” says CDA alderman Maes van Lanschot Broadcasting Brabant. “We will be exhibiting the coins so that everyone can enjoy this heritage.”

Philo van Gasselt and Willem van den Hurk bought a farm from 1584 in Eindhoven about a year ago. The building had been empty for quite some time. “We had to completely insulate the walls and floor,” says Van Gasselt. The tiles, which were loose on the sand floor, also had to be removed.

When Van den Hurk started digging, he suddenly heard a creak. It turned out that he had broken an old pottery jar. Soon he dug up the 317 coins.

Louis XIV

Most coins have turned green. A sign of the times: silver coins also contain copper to strengthen the coin. Copper oxidizes after a long time and gives the coins a green-blue color. Little is left of a number of coins. There are also coins that are still partly silver and where you can see what is written on them.

An initial investigation shows that the coin find consists mainly of equestrian shillings: about 217 pieces, mainly from Nijmegen. In addition, there were provincial guilders, 3 guilders from West Friesland, 10 shillings from Zeeland and half silver ducats in the pot. “There is a coin with the text ‘Lodewijk XIV’ on it, with his head on it,” says Van Gasselt.

Everyone can enjoy

Experts have not yet examined the find for value and origin, but the residents of the farm are not waiting for that. They donated their find to the municipality of Eindhoven. He will announce more details at a press conference on Wednesday. Alderman Van Lanschot: “We will exhibit the coins so that everyone can enjoy this heritage.”

Al-Marsad Newspaper: The Ministry of Commerce published a video clip, documenting the raid on a farm in the Makkah Al-Mukarramah region, which a number of people exploit, to manufacture adulterated or expired products and repackage them.

The Ministry of Commerce teams found in the farm, the remains of wood from which they make incense, expired rice that they refill with new dates, and the remains of unknown oils from which they make apple cider vinegar.

The ministry stated in the video that those accused of manufacturing and repacking adulterated and expired products were seized, and referred to the competent authorities.

Data shows Vietnam dispatches ship to monitor Chinese vessel enforcing control over Russian gas field in EEZ.

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com March 27, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Tensions between Vietnam and China have once again escalated as Vietnam announced the deployment of a ship to track a Chinese vessel patrolling a Russian gas field within Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ). This move comes amid increasing disputes between the two countries over territorial claims in the South China Sea. With geopolitical tensions on the rise, the situation between Vietnam and China remains volatile, and any further escalation could have far-reaching implications in the region. In this article, we take a closer look at the latest developments in this ongoing conflict and explore what they mean for the parties involved.

A Vietnamese ship was reported to have monitored a Chinese Coast Guard vessel that sailed through a Russian-operated gas field in Vietnam’s South China Sea exclusive economic zone (EEZ) on Saturday, as per data from the Vietnamese research organisation South China Sea Chronicle Initiative (SCSCI). Since January 2022, Chinese coastguard vessels have sailed into energy exploration blocks operated or owned by Russian firms in Vietnam’s EEZ around 40 times. China claims the area as part of its expansive territorial claim in the South China Sea, marked by a “nine-dash line,” a boundary that has no legal basis according to the Permanent Court of Arbitration ruling in 2016. This pattern of patrols mirrors Chinese Coast Guard activity elsewhere in the South China Sea, where such vessels have been used to assert territorial claims.

The ship-tracking data show that Chinese Coast Guard ships have been patrolling gas and oil fields owned or operated by Russian firms in the South China Sea, including those in Vietnam’s EEZ. According to maps created by SCSCI and analysed by Reuters, using Automatic Identification System signals from those vessels, Chinese ships in 2021 followed nearly identical routes at least 34 times from Vanguard Bank, a feature near the boundaries of Vietnamese and Indonesian EEZs, to two Russian-controlled blocks 50 nautical miles away. Chinese ships typically return on a direct route to Vanguard Bank, where they are stationed, data reviewed by Reuters show. The Chinese ship on Saturday instead sailed to Malaysia’s EEZ.

China has built artificial islands and airfields on some reefs and islets in the sea, which has caused widespread concern in the region and in the United States. Vietnam and Indonesia have asked China to avoid these areas in their EEZs, though the zones do not have sailing restrictions under international law. Ian Storey, a senior fellow at Singapore’s ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute said, “China is asserting jurisdictional rights to seabed energy resources and used its coast guard to put pressure on regional states.”

Zarubezhneft, Gazprom, and Russia’s Foreign Ministry and embassy in Hanoi did not respond to requests for comment. Harbour Energy and Zarubezhneft are developing the nearby Tuna gas field in Indonesia’s EEZ, from which Jakarta plans to export gas to Vietnam via a pipeline starting in 2026. The project is currently suspended because of Western Ukraine-related sanctions on some of the companies involved.

China’s foreign ministry said the Chinese Coast Guard carried out patrols in the areas under China’s jurisdiction in the South China Sea while respecting international law, and said it was not aware of patrols in energy exploration blocks operated by Russian firms. Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for Vietnam’s foreign ministry said Vietnam acted in the South China Sea “to protect its legal rights”.

The gas-rich fields operated by Russian companies are among the furthest from Vietnam’s coast and are close to the strategic boundary with Indonesia’s EEZ, and to blocks claimed by China. The Indonesian navy said it would beef up security around gas-rich waters near its maritime border with Vietnam to prevent territorial clashes. The issue highlights the growing geopolitical tensions in the South China Sea region.
