Dutch government collapses after far-right leader quits coalition
The Dutch government has collapsed after Geert Wilders withdrew his far-right party from the governing coalition following a row over migration. Prime Minister Dick Schoof confirmed he was stepping down on Tuesday and offered the resignation of the cabinet to King Willem-Alexander. In televised remarks following an emergency cabinet meeting, Schoof said Wilders' decision to withdraw the support of his PVV party was "irresponsible and unnecessary". "As far as I'm concerned, this shouldn't have happened," he added. The governing coalition was in place for less than one year. The row which led to its collapse came after Wilders pushed for 10 additional asylum measures, including a freeze on applications, halting the construction of reception centres and limiting family reunification. Schoof had made a last-minute appeal to coalition party leaders on Tuesday morning, but the meeting lasted just one minute before Wilders walked out, ending the coalition. "No signature for our asylum plans. PVV leaves the coalition," said Wilders on X. There was shock and anger among political leaders, many of whom pointed out that several of Wilders' demands were similar to policies already in the coalition agreement, and that they would not stand in the PVV's way to implement them. Many of the additional proposals put forward by Wilders had been dismissed during coalition talks because of legal concerns. Wilders' decision has put an end to an uneasy governing coalition which was born in July 2024 after months of political wrangling following elections the previous year. His anti-immigration, far-right PVV was the largest party. The other members were the conservative-liberal VVD, the Farmers' Citizen Movement (BBB) and the centrist New Social Contract. Geert Wilders: Who is he and what does he want? From the start the coalition seemed a marriage of convenience, characterised by infighting and appeared to struggle to push through any of policies it had proudly promoted. Following its collapse, Wilders' former coalition partners accused him of engineering the crisis. VVD leader Dilan Yesilgoz said the move was "super irresponsible", adding: "This wasn't about asylum at all." "I think Wilders is betraying the Netherlands," said deputy Prime Minister Mona Keijzer from the BBB. But Wilders appears to feel emboldened. On Tuesday he told reporters that he intended to become prime minister of the Netherlands "and ensure that the PVV becomes bigger than ever in the next elections". Sandra Phlippen, the chief economist for ABN AMRO bank, said the immediate economic impact of the cabinet's collapse appeared minimal because during its 11 months in office the government had "barely made any concrete plans". Polls show the far right and Green-Left parties are neck-and-neck, with migration and cost-of-living issues fuelling political volatility across Europe. Wilders wanted the government to collapse as the support for his Freedom Party continues to drop in the polls, according to Armida van Rij, the Head of the Europe Programme at Chatham House. With the Nato summit due to be held in the Hague at the end of the month, Schoof's ministers will seek to remain in power in a caretaker capacity until a date is set for the Netherlands to return to the polls - likely in the autumn, according to Dutch media. In the Dutch political system, becoming prime minister requires forming a majority coalition in the 150-seat parliament. Even if Wilders again surpasses the political pundits expectations, his decision to collapse the government is being seen as reckless - and perceptions he is putting personal ambition above national stability could further complicate his ability to form alliances after the next election. The parties that were reluctant or refused to go into government with Wilders after the last election are likely to find that kind of partnership even less attractive now. In addition, by toppling the coalition over the issue of asylum, it is likely Wilders will put it at the centre of his upcoming election campaign. However, given that his party had been responsible for asylum and immigration for almost a year, there are no guarantees that such a gamble will pay off. After six months, Dutch parties reach government deal Geert Wilders: Who is he and what does he want? Wilders' Dutch victory sends tremors around Europe

Dad Died in Crash Hours After Birth of 5th Baby. Now Wife Adjusts to Life as a Single Mom with a Newborn (Exclusive)
Captain Marvin Taylor III was a committed father and husband, working overtime to provide for his growing family Tragically, he died hours after his wife gave birth to their fifth child His grieving family is still in "disbelief," Fire Chief James Kubinski tells PEOPLEA Texas fire captain died hours after welcoming his fifth baby and weeks after his death, his grieving family and coworkers are still grappling with their new reality. 'Your fifth child comes into the world and, a few hours later, you leave to go check on the other four kids and pick them up to bring them back to meet their new sibling.' Fire Chief James Kubinski, who worked with Captain Marvin Taylor III before the fatal accident on Mother's Day, tells PEOPLE. "He never came back," adds Kubinski. Taylor had just left a hospital in Austin after meeting his newborn when he was hit from behind in the early morning hours of Sunday, May 11. 'It was an intoxicated driver traveling at over a hundred miles per hour,' says Kubinski, 49. 'That driver was immediately detained by police and arrested." Officials told CBS affiliate KWTX that 34-year-old Rodney Bremby was arrested in Taylor's death. A spokesperson for the Travis County Jail confirms to PEOPLE that Bremby arrived on May 11 and was held on a $103,000 bond. He is charged with intoxication manslaughter and was released two days later on a personal recognizance bond. The spokesperson says he will wear an ankle monitor until his court date. It is unclear if Bremby has retained representation. An investigation is ongoing, the Austin Police Department confirms to PEOPLE. The City of Austin Municipal Court did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. In the weeks since Taylor's death, his family is still in 'disbelief,' says Kubinski. Now Taylor's wife is not only 'adjusting to a newborn, but she's adjusting to a newborn without her husband," he remarks.

The fire department in Killeen — which consists of 264 sworn civil service personnel and about a dozen administrative staff — is also shaken by the sudden loss of one of its longstanding leaders. Taylor joined the fire department in 2014, and recently started working in the training division 10 months ago. He quickly doubled the pool of new applicants from approximately 150 to 400 in that short period. Kubinski admired his passion and commitment to the job, adding that he couldn't speak any higher of someone in Taylor's position. Last fall, as a heavy storm system ravaged parts of Texas, the captain was one of three service members deployed from the Killeen Fire Department. During that deployment, Taylor helped save a stranger from floodwaters, for which he received a Medal of Valor. 'That was part of the eulogy that was shared by one of his shift mates,' says Kubinski. 'They talked about that incident with so much pride.' The captain was the sole provider for his growing family, often taking extra shifts to support his wife and children. The kids, all boys, were named after Catholic saints. In one of Kubinski's last interactions with Taylor, they talked about the new baby. 'I said, 'Which baby is this? Which number is this?' He said, 'This is my number five,' ' recalls Kubinski, who joked that Taylor could have his own 'engine company.' 'He laughed,' says Kubinski. 'He was a family man.' The fire chief says that navigating the news of Taylor's death has been one of the hardest things he's personally experienced, as it has been for many who knew Taylor. Despite their collective pain, the department rallied around Taylor's family. A two-person honor guard stood over Taylor's remains for 10 days, which was followed by a funeral service at a catholic church in Copperas Cove, a miles-long procession and final honors at the graveside. Separately, a fund that was created in Taylor's memory has raised more than $145,000 as of Tuesday, June 3. 'We're still grieving,' remarks Kubinski, who says there are still moments when they get teary-eyed when thinking about what the captain would have done or said. "We're still hurting.'

China rejects Dutch minister's spying accusation, says tech achievements not 'stolen'
BEIJING (Reuters) -China denied on Tuesday that its scientific and technological achievements were due to "stolen" intellectual property, after comments by the Dutch defence minister accusing Beijing of intensifying its espionage, especially on semiconductors. China firmly opposes attempts to "smear" it using accusations of "spying" and "cyberattacks" as a pretext, the Chinese foreign ministry said in a written response to Reuters. It urged relevant sides to look at China objectively and fairly. The Dutch military intelligence agency said last year that Chinese spies had targeted the Dutch semiconductor, aerospace and maritime industries. Such attacks have intensified, Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans said at a forum on Saturday.
