Where has the news section disappeared to on this site please?

Question

Following the hideous bus crash tragedy yesterday involving Belgian and Dutch school children (I cannot imagine what those poor, poor parents are going through) I turned to this site to find the xpat reaction/coverage.

But there doesn't appear to be a news section here any more. Or am I wrong and have overlooked it? (Can find 'features' and 'events' but no news)

This seems very strange - how can a site such as this exist for expatriates living in Belgium - and yet be so utterly disconnected from the country we are all living in?

This is a genuine question - I am not trying to be contentious for the sake of it. I really value this resource and find the q&a very helpful, but what with the disappearance of the club directory, and now the lack of Belgian news, I am not convinced that this site has changed for the better. And it seems rather old-fashioned nowadays to have to buy a magazine to study the Belgian news in English, rather than look on line.

Must be said - it's taken you this long to realise the news section was redesigned out, and you're the first person I can remember complaining about it.
