Exit polls show far-right, center-left alliance neck and neck in EU parliament elections
BRUSSELS — Final exit polls in the Netherlands suggest Geert Wilders' far-right party has made big gains and is in a neck-and-neck race with a center-left alliance in EU parliament elections.The final exit poll conducted by Ipsos I&O shows the GreenLeft-Labour alliance on course to win eight seats in parliament, with Wilders’ Party for Freedom (PVV) expected to pick up seven, six more than it did in the 2019 elections.The PVV's win is being seen a sign of possible electoral gains for the hard right across the European Union.But there were mixed feelings about Wilders and his right-wing politics at voting stations."These elections showed that people are fed up with the system at the moment, so things must be changed, but I don't think the vision of Mr. Wilders is the...

Russian President Vladimir Putin
Putin warns Russia could arm enemies of Western nations supplying weapons to Ukraine
MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned Western countries they’re taking a “very serious and dangerous step” by supplying weapons to Ukraine, which could result in Moscow arming their enemies.Ukraine has relied heavily on arms supplied by Western allies to beat back Russian forces since Putin’s full-scale invasion began more than two years ago. And last week, US President Joe Biden for the first time gave Kyiv permission to use American munitions to carry out limited strikes inside Russian territory, after several European nations removed restrictions on how weapons they supply can be used.“Supplying weapons to a conflict zone is always a bad thing,” Putin told editors from international news agencies on the sidelines of the annual economic forum in St....

Sunak and Starmer clash over taxes and economy
Sunak and Starmer clash over tax in first debate
LONDON — Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer have faced off in the first TV debate of the general election, with heated exchanges over tax, the NHS and immigration.The Conservative and Labour leaders got scrappy at times, forcing the host of the ITV event to intervene and urge the pair to "lower your voices".Sunak said Labour wanted to increase tax by £2,000 — a claim Starmer dismissed as "absolute garbage".And both leaders used the opportunity to set out their personal stories to voters, talking about how their childhood experiences had shaped their political views.For many analysts, Sunak needed a big performance after a rocky week which had seen abysmal polling for his party and the return of Reform UK leader Nigel Farage to frontline politics.He came in bullish...

PARIS — Monet’s ‘Poppy Field’ painting became a whole lot less bucolic and rather more apocalyptic at the weekend, when an environmental campaigner stuck a poster – depicting a cataclysmic future vision of the pastoral scene – over the impressionist painter’s work.The activist is part of the Riposte Alimentaire (Food Response) movement, which aims to promote action on climate change and sustainable agriculture.
