Party for Freedom (PVV) leader Geert Wilders votes in the Dutch national election, in The Hague, Netherlands, October 29
Dutch far right loses ground, opening door for centrist coalition talks
AMSTERDAM — The next Dutch government looks likely to exclude the far right and could be led by a gay prime minister after an election in which Geert Wilders’ anti-Islam Freedom Party lost ground and support surged for the centrist D66, according to a Reuters report.With 98% of votes counted from Wednesday’s election, D66 and Wilders’ PVV were tied early on Thursday, with both projected to take 26 seats in the 150-seat lower house of parliament.All major mainstream parties have ruled out governing with Wilders after he brought down the last coalition, which was led by his own party. This leaves him no viable path to a majority.Cheers and chants of “Yes, we can” broke out at the D66’s election-night celebration as a crowd waved Dutch flags.“We’ve shown not only to the...

Moscow says it tested another 'super weapon' — Poseidon underwater drone
MOSCOW — Russia has conducted a successful test of a new nuclear-powered and nuclear-capable underwater drone, known as Poseidon, President Vladimir Putin announced on Wednesday.Describing it as a new weapon “which cannot be intercepted,” Putin said the drone has already been dubbed a "doomsday machine".Speaking at a Moscow hospital where he met the soldiers wounded in Russia’s war against Ukraine, Putin said the Poseidon drone was tried while running on nuclear power for the first time on Tuesday. He also described it as having “unmatched in speed and depth”.The Russian president said the nuclear reactor that powers the Poseidon is “100 times smaller” than those on submarines, and the power of its nuclear warhead is “significantly higher than that of our most advanced...

WARASAW — Two MiG-29 fighter jets from the Polish Air Force intercepted a Russian aircraft which was performing a flight over the Baltic Sea.The Operational Command of the Armed Forces identified the aircraft as a Il-20 and said it was flying in international airspace.The Il-20 is a Soviet-era reconnaissance aircraft used for reconnaissance and electronic listening missions.The air force said that while the Russian plane did not violate Polish airspace, it did not have a flight plan and the transponder enabling it to be tracked was switched off."Thanks to the high combat readiness, the professionalism of the pilots and the efficient functioning of the air defence system, the operations were carried out quickly, effectively and safely," Operational Command said in a statement.The command...

More than 230 people died in eastern Spain as a result of the 29 October 2024 floods
Angry Spaniards still demand answers a year after Valencia's deadly floods
BENETUSSER, Valencia — The last time Toñi García saw her husband, Miguel, and 24-year-old daughter, Sara - their only child - was when flash floods struck their hometown of Benetússer a year ago.Miguel and Sara went down to the garage in the basement of their home to move their car. But floodwater poured in and they were unable to escape."The military scuba divers who found the bodies of my husband and daughter said that they had managed to get out of the car and they were together, holding each other," says Toñi, in tears.That was on 29 October 2024, a date now etched into the psyche of the people of Benetússer and many other towns in the Valencia region, in eastern Spain.The worst floods Spain had seen for decades — a phenomenon known by meteorologists as the Dana — killed 229...

Tight race in Dutch election as anti-Islam populist Wilders' hope of power declines
AMSTERDAM — Geert Wilders' anti-Islam Freedom party is facing a tight race in Wednesday's Dutch election, and even if he wins the vote his hopes of forming a new government appear minimal.Wilders was the clear winner last time Dutch voters went to the polls in November 2023, but final opinion polls ahead of voting suggest a fall in his support.Dutch voters are grappling with a series of crises, from a chronic housing shortage to overcrowded asylum centres. The cost of living is rising with sky-high rents and healthcare costs.Unlike last time, Wilders' rivals are refusing to work with him after he brought down his own coalition government last June.Voting at most of the country's more than 10,000 polling stations continues until 21:00 (20:00 GMT) on...

European leaders back Ukraine ceasefire proposal at current contact line
BRUSSELS — European leaders have backed the proposal by US President Donald Trump on Tuesday to establish a ceasefire in Ukraine along the current line of fighting.Unlike the Europeans, Trump's plan hinges on ending the war at the current contact line, while the European leaders see it as a starting point for further negotiations.Trump pitched the plan last week after speaking with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin by phone and meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House.After his meeting with Zelenskyy last Friday, Trump said "it is time to stop the killing, and make a deal" in a post on his platform Truth Social."They should stop where they are. Let both claim victory," he added."We strongly support President Trump's position that the fighting...
