The Halloween season arrives and with it, the spooky horror theater ‘No Nos Dejes Caer En Tentación’ at the Santafé Theater, located on Calle 57 #17-13 in Bogotá.

This terrifying work, written and directed by Alexander Rojas, promises to take the viewer on a journey full of suspense, despair, fear and darkness.

The plot centers on a peculiar and orthodox exorcism carried out by Father Duran, played by Alexander Rojas, a 48-year-old man with a history of abuse and a deep commitment to the word of God. Tension and drama unfold as he battles demonic forces and his own traumatic history.

The entire story came about thanks to the creativity of Alexander Rojas, a man who from a very young age was attracted to dramatic and paranormal themes.

“I was always fascinated by this whole world of terror, of the suspense of the paranormal, so I think that’s where I got into and it’s because I’m a very big fan of all things horror, so when you see a lot of these stories you start to create your own thoughts.” their own,” Rojas added.

This is a horror story brought to the theater, something that doesn’t happen very often, as some comedy stories are always told that catch the audience’s attention.

Therefore, taking advantage of the October season, these actors come together to give a paranormal touch and scare their audience.

“We came up with horror theater, I think not much is done because it is complex, the most difficult thing about doing horror theater is doing live special effects, making people really feel scared,” said the interpreter of ‘Father They last.

Along with the protagonist, the cast includes Zoraida Duque as Ivanna Gómez, a psychology student who is about to graduate and who faces terrifying situations.

Entering a character with ‘demonic possessions’ was not easy for her, so she decided to let go of everything when she got home to avoid having external burdens. “At one point there are some dramatic, super strong charges where we obviously played on nerves. The pressure and that is the most difficult thing to sustain,” added the young woman.

Simone Erazo plays Eliana Martínez, a police officer and investigator with an authoritarian and distrustful personality. Diana Bolaños plays Rosalba De Duran, the evil spirit of Father Duran’s mother, who constantly torments him.

Each of the actors enters the ideal character to create an atmosphere of suspense, where all people feel the pressure and fear of the situation they are experiencing. For this reason, they invite people to go to the theater, support art and live this horror story with them, but without expecting anything to be surprised on the scene.

“Since it is October and we are in the month of terror, what better way than to come and have a fun, enjoyable time supporting Colombian art and obviously leaving scared after knowing the whole story,” Eliana added.

The performances of this horror play will take place from October 12 to November 16, every Thursday at 8:00 pm at the Santafé Theater. Horror film lovers will find in this theatrical experience a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the genre in an intense and chilling way.

Gerrit Hiemstra Receives His Own Storm as a Gift: NOS Weatherman Retires After 25 Years

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 31, 2023

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

Aug 31, 2023 at 9:09 PM Update: 15 minutes ago

The NOS and the KNMI give Gerrit Hiemstra, who stops as a weatherman for the NOS after a quarter of a century, his own storm as a gift. Newsreader Rob Trip reported this on Thursday in the NOS News from 8 p.m.

“Behind me is the man who will bring you the weather”, Trip pointed to Hiemstra. “But also the man to whom we have told that the KNMI will announce tomorrow that a storm will be named after him.”

The names are assigned to storms in a European context in alphabetical order. “When it’s G’s turn, it will be storm Gerrit, because of the approaching departure. A gift from us and from the KNMI,” said Trip.

A KNMI spokesperson confirms that Gerrit’s name is on the list that will be announced on Friday. The name was frequently suggested by visitors to an open day that the weather institute recently held.

“We determine the European names together with the Irish and British weather services,” explains the spokesperson. “It goes in alphabetical order and in September we will start again at the A. So it depends on the number of storms when Gerrit’s turn is.”

Hiemstra wants to reduce greenhouse gases with a new company

The 62-year-old Hiemstra made his debut with the NOS in 1998. He first filled in for Erwin Kroll, among others, and later became a permanent force. Since then he has been broadcasting the weather forecast on television and radio on average two days a week.

After his time at the NOS, Hiemstra wants to make a concrete contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions with a new company. Hiemstra will retire in September. It is not known when his last broadcast is.

Tom Egbers gives his first interview after his article receives almost a million views – Media

The first interview Tom Egbers gave after allegations of inappropriate behavior attracted 989,000 viewers. The NOS Sport presenter added his story on Friday Khalid & Sophie.

Egbers admitted in the interview that he has had an affair with a younger female colleague in the past. He did say that the two have only kissed in three years. He denied threatening her with death.

Employees of the NOS sports editors previously said against de Volkskrant that the woman was bullied and intimidated by the presenter after the affair. Egbers would, among other things, have run his thumb down his throat when the woman walked by. Female colleagues were therefore advised not to work with him.

The sports presenter joined the table Khalid & Sophie also on the culture at NOS Sport. An investigation into transgressive behavior at that editorial office led to almost two hundred complaints. These were not only about bullying and (sexual) intimidation, but also about discrimination and verbal aggression. Egbers therefore acknowledged that the culture at NOS Sport “has to change”.

Egbers will not be doing any work for television in the coming months. Earlier, the editors-in-chief of NOS Sport announced that she was resigning immediately, and not after a few months, as was originally planned.

The broadcast of Khalid & Sophie on NPO1 was the seventh most viewed program on Friday, according to figures from Stichting KijkOnderzoek. Most people – over 2.1 million – watched it NOS News from 8 p.m. Cops Maastricht (1.5 million) and the RTL News of 7:30 p.m. (1.2 million) were next most popular.

Tom Egbers guilty of intimidation and bullying according to NOS Sport employees | Media

According to various employees of NOS Sport, presenter Tom Egbers has been guilty of (sexual) harassment and bullying. Female colleagues were warned not to work with him de Volkskrant in an investigation into editorial misconduct.

Egbers had an affair with a female colleague more than twenty years ago. In 2009, the anonymous woman reported to the editors-in-chief. That report, in the hands of the newspaper and confirmed by several sources, states that the woman was approached as a 22-year-old trainee by the then 48-year-old Egbers.

The affair starts from the presenter, various sources confirm. During her internship, the presenter sends her texts and emails and calls her, sometimes in the middle of the night. After her internship, she continues to work at NOS Sport and kisses the presenter a number of times. But that’s it, she reports the editor-in-chief.

Egbers’ wife approaches woman about affair

Egbers’ wife, Janke Dekker, approaches the former intern when the affair has already ended and asks her about the relationship. Dekker is not yet chairman of the Mores hotline. At Mores, people can report undesirable behavior in the television sector, among other things.

According to sources from de Volkskrant things really go wrong from that moment on. Egbers would be guilty of bullying and intimidation. Words such as “the poison” and “the serpent” are used by the presenter to indicate the woman. Several people see Egbers intimidating the woman.

At the same time, the woman receives an email from a colleague. In it, the man says he is aware of several situations of transgressive behavior by Egbers towards women on the NOS editorial board.

In the end, the woman, together with reporter Jeroen Stekelenburg, goes to the editor-in-chief. The editors-in-chief say they will talk to Egbers and advise the woman to go to the police if this continues. Stekelenburg does not want to comment substantively on questions about this de Volkskrant.

Egbers says he regrets his behavior

Egbers acknowledges in a response de Volkskrant that he had a relationship with the woman. He says he regrets the relationship and his behavior afterwards. “Because of the sadness that I caused in my private life. The fact that she was in her twenties at the time and I was in my forties is also very important to me, looking back after all these years.”

Egbers also says that he has indeed taken the private situation to the workplace and involved other colleagues. He says he wanted to leave Other Times Sports, where he worked with the woman. After discussions with, among others, the editor-in-chief and the management, he said he came back from this.

Female colleagues were warned about Egbers

The affair leads to female colleagues being warned about Egbers. Aïcha Marghadi, who worked at NOS Sport from 2010 to 2012, was advised against choosing him as a mentor by editor-in-chief Maarten Nooter. According to Marghadi, the editor-in-chief said that Egbers “had quite a bit of trouble with beautiful women”.

The affair and the way Egbers acted afterwards, as well as the fact that he is married to Mores’ chairman, leads to another problem. Employees tell de Volkskrant not to have made any reports to Mores, because Janke Dekker works there.

They do not trust that their complaints will be dealt with independently there. Dekker did not respond to questions and requests from de Volkskrant. Through her lawyer, she says she doubts whether the newspaper “operates openly and objectively”. Her lawyer does state that Dekker welcomes the fact that “a diseased culture within a media company is being denounced”.

NOS says it is ashamed of the events

The NOS is ashamed of the experiences mentioned. “This shows once again that there is real work to be done, and that what happened in the past must never happen again,” said general manager Gerard Timmer in response to the article.

When asked whether the NOS is taking measures against Egbers, a spokesperson replies that the broadcaster will talk to all employees mentioned in the article.

Discussion about housing, migration and nitrogen; radio election debate today

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com March 3, 2023

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

The NOS radio debate in the run-up to last year’s municipal elections.

NOS News•today, 06:47

Farmers and nitrogen, the wallet, climate and energy, housing, migration and trust in politics. Major topics that play a national role and that also dominate the political discussion in the province. It is not for nothing that these are the themes of the election debate today on NPO Radio 1.

Party chairmen of sixteen parties from the House of Representatives have been invited to debate with each other less than two weeks before the Provincial Council elections. That is quite a few participants, admits political reporter Wilma Borgman, who presents the radio debate together with Winfried Baijens. “But that’s good, because the multiformity of democracy should come back to the NOS table.”

The agricultural theme will be discussed first with the party leaders of CDA, D66, BBB and the Party for the Animals. Nitrogen and agricultural policy is a hot topic in The Hague and the provinces will play an important role in implementing that policy. But when will clarity come? What is interesting about this subject is that provincial departments of coalition parties CDA and VVD defy the national party line. “So we want to know: that voter in Zeeland or Limburg, what can they expect from the CDA?”, says Borgman.

Build new city

The second theme is the wallet, with the parties VVD, PVV, GroenLinks and ChristenUnie. Poverty policy is now often arranged per municipality, explains Borgman. “In one municipality you are better off if you are poor than in another municipality.” Should the province stop interfering with that, will be one of the questions.

Then on to living, with PvdA, JA21, SP and BVNL. “The provinces have an important role in this area,” says Borgman. In the coming years, hundreds of thousands of homes will have to be added and the provinces will be allowed to determine exactly where. Four opposition parties are allowed to shed light on this: should a new city be built? And what part of the new building should become social housing?

Migration is another urgent national theme in which the provinces have a big finger in the pie. Borgman: “In the cabinet’s new distribution law, it is the provinces that must monitor whether the municipalities are doing what they are supposed to do.” And the campaign is mainly about whether the province can and wants to do even more, or whether the limit has been reached for the time being. CDA, PVV, GroenLinks and Volt will discuss this.

And climate and energy, which D66, SP, JA21, Party for the Animals and FvD are discussing with each other. “Whether or not a windmill in your backyard, it’s the province that determines that,” political reporter Borgman explains the importance of the subject. But the province is also about making houses energy-neutral, about fields full of solar panels and about a nuclear power plant (whether or not in your backyard).

And the last theme is trust in politics. “You see an enormous fragmentation in the House of Representatives, will we soon see this continue in the province?” Borgman wonders. “And what does that mean for manageability?” These are questions that the chairmen of the VVD, PvdA, SGP and BBB will have to answer.

Borgman says to expect fireworks in all subjects. “These are all topics that are important to everyone,” she says. “And it’s up to Winfried and me to manage those fireworks.”

‘Fireworks’ from the past

The NOS radio debate is always at the front of the campaign and has produced memorable moments in the past. The best known is probably “You are spinning and you are not fair”. It was the sharp swipe in 2006 from CDA leader Jan-Peter Balkenende in the direction of PvdA leader Wouter Bos. In the campaign, the latter was no longer labeled as a twister.

More recently, there was a debate on climate in 2021 between Geert Wilders of the PVV and D66 leader Sigrid Kaag. Kaag had flown a lot in her position as Minister for Trade, Wilders stated. “I wouldn’t be surprised if Schiphol named the Kaagbaan Runway after you.” To which Kaag had to laugh, and Wilders himself couldn’t suppress a smile either.

And in 2017, GroenLinks leader Jesse Klaver extended a hand to Lodewijk Asscher of the PvdA. In a discussion about whether or not to join the VVD in a cabinet, Klaver asks Asscher for him to shake hands (and thus make a promise not to work with the VVD again). Asscher does not shake hands directly, but speaks of “a trick” and says that the GroenLinks leader does “stratego”.
