The Hague, Netherlands - 3 June 2025

1. SOUNDBITE (English) Molly Quell, The Associated Press:

"After just 11 months in power, the Netherlands' four-party coalition government collapsed after far-right leader Geert Wilders pulled out over a dispute over migration regulations. Dutch Prime Minister Dick Skov said he and the remaining government ministers would stay on in a caretaker capacity until new elections could be held. The move leaves the Netherlands with a caretaker government for the upcoming NATO summit. After years in opposition, the Wilders' anti-Islam party won the largest share of seats in the country's parliament in the last elections on pledge to slash migration numbers. But he had become increasingly frustrated with the slowness of the implementation of his plans. Other party leaders put the blame on Wilders and pointed to the inability of his own immigration minister to move proposals forward. Wilders' PVV party is still ahead in the polls but is neck and neck with the Green Left group. Elections are set to be some time in the fall."

STORYLINE:

Populist far-right lawmaker Geert Wilders plunged Dutch politics into turmoil Tuesday by withdrawing his party's ministers from the ruling coalition in a dispute over a crackdown on migration. The remaining ministers will run a caretaker administration until new elections can be organized.

The decision means the Netherlands will have a caretaker government when it hosts a summit of NATO leaders in three weeks.

Prime Minister Dick Schoof held an emergency Cabinet meeting to discuss the crisis and then visited King Willem-Alexander to offer him the resignations of ministers from Wilders' Party for Freedom.

Schoof, a career civil servant who was handpicked by Wilders a year ago to lead the government, said he had repeatedly told coalition leaders in recent days that bringing down the government would be “unnecessary and irresponsible.”

No date for a new election has been set, but it is unlikely before the fall.

Schoof's 11-month-old administration goes down in history as one of the shortest-lived governments in Dutch political history.

"I make a solemn promise in front of South Korean people. I will run in this election as the candidate of the Democratic Party, and at the same time, the candidate of all people who long for an end to conflict, the overcoming of crisis, and the pursuit of happiness. With humility, I will take the lead in achieving national unity, the foremost duty of the presidency."

6. Lee waving

STORYLINE:

South Korea’s liberal opposition candidate Lee Jae-myung was elected president early Wednesday, a victory that would cap months of political turmoil triggered by the stunning but brief imposition of martial law by now-ousted conservative leader Yoon Suk Yeol.

It was unclear whether Lee’s election would cause any major, immediate shift in South Korea’s foreign policy. Lee, previously accused by critics of tilting toward China and North Korea and away from the U.S. and Japan, has repeatedly stressed South Korea's alliance with the U.S. as the foundation of its foreign policy.

The toughest external challenges awaiting a new president are U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff policy and North Korea’s advancing nuclear program. But experts say whoever becomes president can't do much to secure major progress in South Korea’s favor on those issues.

With nearly 95% of ballots counted as of 2:40 a.m. Wednesday, Lee, the Democratic Party candidate, led with 48.86% of votes. The main conservative candidate, Kim Moon Soo, had 41.98%.

The exit poll by South Korea’s three major television stations — KBS, MBC and SBS — earlier showed Lee projected to obtain 51.7% of total votes cast, beating Kim with 39.3%. Pre-election surveys suggested Lee appeared headed for an easy win, riding on deep public frustration over the conservatives in the wake of Yoon’s martial law debacle.

Even before Lee’s win was formally declared, Kim conceded, telling journalists he “humbly accepts the people’s choice” and congratulated Lee.

Earlier, Lee appeared before thousands of cheering supporters in the streets of Seoul. He didn't formally claim victory but reiterated his major policy goals such as revitalizing the economy, promoting peace with North Korea and easing a domestic divide.

“Let us move forward with hope and make a fresh start from this moment on,” he said. “Though we may have clashed for some time, even those who did not support us are still our fellow citizens of the Republic of Korea.”

The winning candidate will immediately be s... [truncated]

++PARTIALLY COVERED++

“I will just confirm that I have connected with the president directly on this subject and made my thoughts known. And so, beyond that, I’m not going to share more about our conversation, but hopefully, he’ll take some of those things into consideration when he makes a decision.”

5. Various of Whitmer posing for pictures

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, (D) Michigan:

++PARTIALLY COVERED++

“It’s important that in any case that has resulted in a jury convicting people, the impact on the victim is really important. As a former prosecutor, as the target of this particular plot, I wanted to make sure that the president who’s going to make a decision has all the information necessary toward making the right decision.”

7. Whitmer speaks with Detroit Deputy Mayor Melia Howard

STORYLINE:

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said she talked to President Donald Trump in the last 24 hours about the two men convicted of plotting to kidnap her in 2020 after the president mused last week that he would look into pardoning them.

Whitmer is a Democrat and potential 2028 presidential candidate. She declined to elaborate on details of the discussion, but said she connected with the Republican president directly on the subject and "made my thoughts known.”

“It’s important that in any case that has resulted in a jury convicting people, the impact on the victim is really important," she said Tuesday at a ribbon-cutting event in Detroit. "As a former prosecutor, as the target of this particular plot, I wanted to make sure that the president who’s going to make a decision has all the information necessary toward making the right decision.”

Last week, Trump said he was considering a pardon for the men.

Shortly thereafter, Whitmer said Trump would be going back on his word if he pardoned the two men, saying she had a conversation with the president about a month ago regarding the topic, and he said he would drop it.

STORYLINE:

Smoke from Canadian wildfires brought another day of poor air quality south of the border to the Midwest, where conditions in Minneapolis were rated “very unhealthy” on Tuesday.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency issued an air quality alert for much of the state through noon Wednesday.

Smoky conditions extended as far east as Michigan and west into the Dakotas and Nebraska, and as far to the southeast as Georgia. The German news agency dpa reported Tuesday that high-altitude smoke from the fires had even reached Europe.

Canada is having another bad wildfire season and more than 27,000 people in three provinces have been forced to evacuate. Most of the smoke reaching the American Midwest has been coming from fires northwest of Winnipeg in Manitoba.

STORYLINE:

South Korea's liberal opposition candidate Lee Jae-myung delivered a speech to his supporters early Wednesday in Seoul after exit poll projected his victory.

Speaking around 1 a.m. local time, Lee promised the crowd his first duty would be to "overcome the rebellion," referring to former President Yoon's martial law declaration in December.

"I will make sure there is no more military coup d'état, in which the power entrusted by the people would never be used to intimidate people," he said.

Lee was poised to win an early presidential election, vote counts and media projections suggested, while his challenger conceded defeat early Wednesday. The victory would cap months of political turmoil triggered by the stunning but brief imposition of martial law by now-ousted conservative leader Yoon Suk Yeol.

Nearly 80% of the country’s 44.4 million eligible voters cast ballots, according to an interim tally. That’s one of the highest turnouts for a presidential election in South Korea, reflecting public eagerness to move past the political turmoil.

The winning candidate will immediately be sworn in as president Wednesday for a single, full term of five years without the typical two-month transition period.

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Rafael Grossi, IAEA Director General:

"We are aware of some information about that not coming from Russia, but from, other experts and groups in the world, indicating that there are some construction works that would indicate that. It's highly speculative. We don't have any evidence that this is happening at this at this point."

++BLACK FRAMES++

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Rafael Grossi, IAEA Director-General:

"What we - and I just discussed this with President Zelenskyy - what we are offering is to make a comprehensive assessment of what is the situation, because even though there is no radioactivity coming out, the tightness, the isolation element of the plant, of the containment is not the same. It has been affected. So we need to have an assessment and then, see what kind of work repairs are needed."

++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++

STORYLINE:

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said on Tuesday there is no evidence of Russia moving to immediately restart the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, calling it "highly speculative."

In a report last month, Greenpeace said that satellite photos showed Russia had been building “an electricity high voltage power line” in Russia-held areas of Ukraine's Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions. An Associated Press analysis of satellite photos from Planet Labs PBC of the same area also showed the construction of power lines and pylons.

“This is some of the first hard evidence of Russian moving ahead with its dangerous and illegal plans for restarting Ukraine and Europe’s largest nuclear plant at Zaporizhzhia," said Shaun Burnie, a nuclear specialist at Greenpeace Ukraine, in a statement.

Speaking at a briefing while on a visit to Kyiv, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi also said that "the tightness, the isolation element of the plant, of the containment is not the same" at the Chernobyl Power Plant, adding that assessment is needed to determine "what kind of work repairs are needed."

STORYLINE:

Police investigating the disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann searched near an abandoned rural building in southern Portugal on Tuesday as they launched fresh probes near the holiday resort where she was last seen 18 years ago.

The case received worldwide interest for several years, with reports of sightings of McCann occurring as far away as Australia, while books and television documentaries were produced about her disappearance.

German investigators and Portuguese police officers and firefighters were searching in the countryside several miles from the Praia da Luz resort, where the 3-year-old disappeared from her bed while on vacation with her family on May 3, 2007.

The teams were seen using pickaxes, shovels and chainsaws to clear dense vegetation and dig near a derelict building. Firefighters pumped water out of a well.

Almost two decades on, investigators in the U.K., Portugal and Germany are still piecing together what happened on the night the toddler disappeared. She was in the same room as her brother and sister — 2-year-old twins — while their parents, Kate and Gerry, had dinner with friends outside.

Portuguese police said Monday that detectives were acting on a request from a German public prosecutor as they carry out “a broad range” of searches this week in the area of Lagos, in southern Portugal.

The main suspect is a German national identified by media as Christian Brueckner, who is currently serving a seven-year prison sentence in Germany for raping a 72-year-old woman in Portugal in 2005.

I think it's my hard work and my friends and my teachers support and my parents' support that made me achieve this success."

9. Various of Niguse walking on the streets of Addis Ababa

STORYLINE:

Yonas Nuguse believed he was finally destined for Harvard University this year after having survived the Tigray conflict at home in Ethiopia, communication shutdowns, and the COVID-19 pandemic, all of which delayed his dream of finishing high school on time.

However, the Trump administration recently barred the Ivy League school from enrolling international students, saying current students must transfer to other schools or leave the country.

The university filed a lawsuit to challenge the action and a federal judge extended an order blocking the administration’s attempt to bar the enrollment of foreign students on Thursday.

Many students like Nuguse, 21, an aspiring economist, have been left in an uncertain position and debating if they will get to attend one the most prestigious universities in the U.S. in September.

"Since my childhood, I often heard about Harvard, but I was not sure if I belonged there,” he told the Associated Press.

Attending Harvard was a dream that was a long time in the making for Nuguse, including having to take a gap year to study and find scarce funds to pay for and take his TOEFL English proficiency test in Ad... [truncated]
