Netherlands

-------

Authorities said Saturday they will halve the number of brothels and marijuana shops in Amsterdam's red-light district and surrounding area.



The city announced plans to clean up the district a year ago and since then 109 sex "windows," from which prostitutes attract customers, have been closed.



The new measures aim to reduce the number of windows to 243 from 482 last year, a city spokesman said.
