Over 200 prisoners break out of Pakistani jail
KARACHI: More than 200 inmates escaped from a jail in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi late on Monday when they overpowered prison guards after being allowed to leave their cells following a series of earthquakes, local officials and police said. The jailbreak began just before midnight and continued into the early hours of Tuesday after hundreds of prisoners were allowed into the courtyard of the District Malir prison because of the tremors, Zia-ul-Hasan Lanjar, the provincial law minister, told reporters at the scene on Tuesday. Police said the prisoners snatched guns from prison staff and forced open the main gate after a shootout, evading paramilitary soldiers. At least one prisoner was killed and three guards wounded, said Provincial Police Chief Ghulam Nabi Memon. "I heard the firing for quite some time and then some time later prisoners made their way out running in all directions," Bukhsh, a private security guard at a residential complex opposite the jail who goes by a single name, said. He added that some of the prisoners entered the apartment complex before being taken away by police. — Reuters

Dutch PM Schoof resigns, hours after Wilders exits coalition
THE HAGUE: Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof said he would resign on Tuesday, just hours after populist Geert Wilders pulled his PVV party out of the right-wing coalition, in a move that is likely to trigger snap elections. Ministers from Wilders' PVV party will leave the cabinet, while the remaining ministers will continue for now in a caretaker government. Any election will likely not be held before October, and the formation of a new government traditionally tends to take months in the fractured Dutch political landscape. This comes as the hard right is growing in Europe, with anger over migration and the cost of living at risk of eroding Europe's unity over how to deal with Russia and with US President Donald Trump. Wilders said earlier on Tuesday that his party was pulling out because the other three coalition partners were not willing to support his ideas on asylum and immigration. "No signature under our asylum plans. The PVV leaves the coalition," Wilders said in a post on X. The others parties in the coalition now have the option to try and proceed as a minority government, though they are not expected to. Opposition parties on Tuesday called for new elections. Wilders said his party was pulling out because the other three coalition partners were not willing to support his ideas on asylum and immigration. "No signature under our asylum plans. The PVV leaves the coalition," Wilders said in a post on X. The prospect of a new election adds to political uncertainty in the Netherlands. It would likely delay a decision on boosting defense spending to meet new Nato targets, and would leave the Netherlands with only a caretaker government when it receives world leaders for a Nato summit later this month. Wilders' coalition partners responded with disbelief and anger to his decision. "This is irresponsible, this is no moment to walk away," finance minister, Eelco Heinen, of the conservative VVD party, told reporters before he entered the crisis cabinet meeting. The others parties now have the option to try and proceed as a minority government, though they are not expected to. Opposition parties on Tuesday called for new elections. "I see no other way to form a stable government," said Frans Timmermans, the leader of the Labour/Green combination. VVD leader Dilan Yesilgoz said she did not want to exclude any options. Junior coalition party BBB leader Caroline van der Plas said: "This coalition is done. But maybe other parties see a way forward." "The most obvious outcome will be new elections after the summer, end of October, November," said political scientist Joep van Lit at Radboud University in Nijmegen. — Reuters

Liberal Lee projected to win presidency
SEOUL: South Korea's liberal party candidate Lee Jae-myung is projected to win snap presidential election by wide margins, according to exit polls, ushering in a political sea change after backlash against martial law brought down his predecessor. Results of the surveys by the country's broadcasters, which Reuters has not independently confirmed, were released after nearly 80 per cent of the country's 44.39 million eligible voters had cast their ballots. South Koreans are hoping to put six months of turmoil from ousted leader Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law decree behind them and for a reversal in the ebbing fortunes of Asia's fourth-largest economy. The joint exit poll by broadcasters KBS, MBC and SBS, which has in previous elections mostly been in line with the final results, put Lee on 51.7 per cent and his conservative rival Kim Moon-soo on 39.3 per cent. Lee had called the election "judgment day" against the previous Yoon administration and the conservative People Power Party, accusing them of having condoned the martial law attempt by not fighting harder to thwart it and even trying to save Yoon's presidency. — Reuters
