Dutch election: Voters choose new leaders in neck-and-neck race
THE HAGUE — Four parties have emerged as front-runners as Dutch voters decide on Wednesday who will lead their country into a new political era.Voting starts at 07:30 (06:30GMT), and the polls suggest a neck-and-neck race.Center-right leader Dilan Yesilgöz is tipped to win and become the first female Dutch prime minister.But she is in a tight race with anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders and a left-alliance led by former top-ranking EU commissioner Frans Timmermans.More than 13 million Dutch voters have a choice of 26 parties to vote for on Wednesday, and as many as 17 could win seats.European eyes are watching this election closely, after 13 years of governments under Mark Rutte. The winner could end up with less than 20% of the national vote and fewer than 30 seats in the 150-seat...

King Charles deploys K-pop at South Korea state banquet
LONDON — King Charles used the grandeur of a Buckingham Palace state banquet to throw in some unexpected references to Korean popular culture.K-pop stars Blackpink and BTS were name-checked by the King as he welcomed South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on the first day of his state visit.The King's banquet speech praised South Korean culture's "remarkable ability to captivate imaginations".Although he admitted he hadn't much of "what might be called Gangnam Style".But there was no repeat of President Yoon's karaoke-style skills when he visited US President Joe Biden, when the South Korean leader had sung "American Pie".Instead the president said that in his youth he and his friends "were all fans of the Beatles, Queen and Elton...

Ursula von der Leyen 'unfazed' after being targeted in new campaign by Viktor Orbán
BRUSSELS — Ursula von der Leyen has become the personal target of a new campaign launched by Viktor Orbán as part of a national consultation that levels serious accusations against the European Union's political agenda.The billboards, plastered on streets across Hungary, feature the president of the European Commission standing next to Alexander Soros, the 38-year-old son of billionaire George Soros and current chair of the Open Society Foundations (OSF), with a capitalized text that reads: "Let's not dance to the tune they whistle!"Although the Soros family and the OSF, which supports civil society organisations around the world through grants, have been maligned by the Hungarian government in the past, this marks the first time that von der Leyen has been targeted in...

Child deaths from wasting are predictable and preventable: WHO chief
LONDON — Worldwide, 45 million children under five are wasted, meaning they are dangerously thin for their height, and roughly one million die each year from the condition, the Director-General of the World Health Organization told the Global Food Security Summit held on Monday in London.Convened by the government of the United Kingdom, the day-long conference brought together representatives from more than 20 countries to shore up efforts to achieve zero hunger and end malnutrition, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Speaking during a session on creating new approaches to ending preventable child deaths, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that the world is far from reaching these objectives.“By the time we have finished our meeting today, about 900 children...

World briefly smashes through the 2-degree warming limit for the first time
GENEVA — The Earth’s temperature briefly rose above a crucial threshold that scientists have been warning for decades could have catastrophic and irreversible impacts on the planet and its ecosystems, data shared by a prominent climate scientist shows.For the first time, the global average temperature on Friday last week was more than 2 degrees Celsius hotter than levels before industrialization, according to preliminary data shared on X by Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, based in Europe.The threshold was crossed just temporarily and does not mean that the world is at a permanent state of warming above 2 degrees, but it is a symptom of a planet getting steadily hotter and hotter, and moving towards a longer-term situation where climate crisis...
