AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports NATO has appointed the outgoing Dutch premier as its next Secretary-General.

In a daring move, we kicked off March 2021 quoting none other than Francis Fukuyama, titling our episode "Getting to Holland" as a twist on Fukuyama's famous cliché of “Getting to Denmark”. The episode came in the heels of Mark Rutte's re-election as Dutch Prime Minister, which seemed like an apparent vindication of the Fukuyaman ideal of Northern Europe as the endpoint of political development. Not only had the country championed rule of law and the welfare state, but Rutte's liberal-centrist politics of moderation seemed to stand on a thick layer of consensus that other European nations lacked. But fast forward to November 2023, and the Dutch political scene takes a dramatic turn with Geert Wilders and his Party for Freedom (PVV) seizing victory a month ago. Join us this week as we unravel the beliefs driving Wilders, from welfare chauvinism to skepticism of Islam, and explore the implications for the upcoming EU parliamentary elections in June next year. Our esteemed guests, Caroline de Gruyter and Professor Ewald Engelen, bring their expertise to bear in delving deep into the dynamics reshaping Dutch politics.

A politician known as the ‘Dutch Donald Trump' has won the general elections in the Netherlands. Geert Wilders, the leader of the far-right Party for Freedom, or PVV as it is known, is a frontrunner to be the next Dutch Prime Minister after his party won 37 seats, ahead of the outgoing PM Mark Rutte's VVD, which got only 24. Wilders is both anti-Islam and anti-immigration. He is also anti-EU and is opposed to sending weapons to Ukraine. His victory in a country known for its tolerance and multiculturalism has come as a surprise. How did he end up winning? What are the chances of him heading the next government? What are the implications of his victory for the immigrant minorities, and the Muslims in particular, who comprise 5% of the Dutch population?

As world leaders gathered in New York for the 78th United Nations General Assembly, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte led his country's delegation for the last time.After 13 years in power, the Netherlands' longest-serving premier is leaving office after a dispute about immigration led to the collapse of his coalition government.In this episode, we examine the political and diplomatic legacy of the politician nicknamed "Teflon Mark", who is known for being a resilient operator.The prime minister of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte, talks to Al Jazeera.Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribeFollow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/AJEnglishFind us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/aljazeeraCheck our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/Check out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/Download AJE Mobile App: https://aje.io/AJEMobile@AljazeeraEnglish#Aljazeeraenglish#News

The Global War on Farmers just keeps chugging along. For instance, as you likely know, farmers in the Netherlands have been taking a stand for the past year now, and protesting against their government's crackdown on the agricultural industry. Since last year, they have been using their tractors to block traffic, shut down distribution centers, and peacefully protest against the Dutch government's Green Agenda—an agenda that would shut down somewhere around 40 to 50 percent of the farms in the country. However, after over a year of protests, the Dutch government appears to not really care. Which is rather bewildering when you consider the results of the most recent election. That's because, just a few weeks ago, in March, elections were held across the entirety of the country. And a newly formed party called the Farmer–Citizen Movement party, became the single largest party in the Dutch Senate. So many people voted for them, that they went from having zero seats in the Senate, to have 17. However, despite this electoral surge—the Dutch government is actually doubling down on its green agenda. In fact, just yesterday, the Dutch Prime Minister vowed to accelerate the implementation of the EU green agenda and force the farmers to cut their nitrogen emissions by at least 50 percent by the end of the decade. And at the same time, under a new scheme that the government implemented back in October, 3,000 farms are about to be closed down across the country—and that's only the beginning. And so, in order to get a clearer picture of what's going on with the farmers, I took the opportunity to sit down and speak with Mr. Rob Roos—he's a Dutch member of the European Parliament. ⭕️ Sign up for our NEWSLETTER and stay in touch

The Russian energy giant, Gazprom, is to cut gas supplies to the Netherlands and Denmark. Both countries have refused to pay in roubles and it follows an earlier decision from the EU to block most Russian oil imports by the end of the year. The Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, is playing down the potential impact though. Elsewhere, consumer groups in 18 European countries back a report calling gaming loot boxes "exploitative." We also hear about the impact of Sri Lanka's economic crisis on the country's hospitals.

Libya has been marking an anniversary of sorts this week: ten years since the dictator Colonel Muammar Gaddafi was killed, having been toppled from power as part of the Arab Spring. Since then, elections have been held, and a much-delayed election for a new President is due at the end of this year. But few have much faith in this process. Whole swathes of Libya are beyond the control of the national government in Tripoli. So it's perhaps not surprising in these circumstances that some Libyans are nostalgic for the days of Gaddafi's rule, despite the human rights abuses which took place. Among those who remain loyal is the man who was once Gaddafi's advisor, and sometime interpreter. Tim Whewell has been talking to him. Democracy in Libya may be very much a work in progress, but here in Europe, there are some who feel that long-standing democracies are also being threatened. The murder in Britain of the MP, David Amess was described by many as an attack on democracy itself. And that suggestion had echoes from a recent killing in the Peter De Vries was famous as an investigative reporter in the Netherlands. He ignored repeated threats to his life, while he bravely uncovered the power of international criminals. This week, two men went on trial in Amsterdam, accused of murdering him. It was an act the Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, said was “an attack on the free journalism so essential for our democracy". But then Mr Rutte has himself had to change his habit of cycling alone through Holland's streets, because he too has received death threats. Anna Holligan reports. During its twenty year presence in Afghanistan, American troops brought in billions of dollars' worth of gear, and quite a lot of it seems to have found its way into the hands of smugglers, who brought it across the border to neighbouring Pakistan. Some of it is still sold furtively in small towns, but one Lahore shopkeeper is making a good living by selling very openly this stolen US Army equipment. Ironically, he considers himself an implacable enemy of all things American, and a supporter of the Taleban. Ali Kazmi went to meet him. With just days to go until the COP26 summit on climate change, there's ever more pressure being applied to countries to explain how they propose to get to net zero or in other words, how to reach the point where they do not contribute any net carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. They're being encouraged both to set targets, and to outline what measures they will introduce to reach them. But there's an island in Denmark which has already gone one stage further and become “carbon positive.” Ritula Shah went to Samsoe to find out how they've done it. When you think of ancient mummies, you might think of Egypt, with its famously preserved pharoes and other leading lights of that ancient civilisation. In fact, the oldest mummies in the world were discovered in Chile. They were discovered in 1917 by a German archaeologist, but it took decades for the mummies to be correctly dated, and identified as part of the Chinchorro civilisation. And they're still not on the tourist map, the way that the pyramids and their long dead occupants are. Jane Chambers travelled into the heart of what was once Chinchorro country, to see the mummies for herself.

This is Vaccine 411, the latest coronavirus vaccine information for July 14th, 2021. COVID-19 is rising again in the U.S. after months of decline. In fact, the number of new cases per day doubled over the past three weeks. That's attributed to the delta variant, lagging vaccination rates, and Fourth of July gatherings. Only Maine and South Dakota did not have case numbers go up over the past two weeks. Yesterday we told you the Dutch Prime Minister apologized for an error in judgement in easing restrictions. Today we report infections in the Netherlands jumped by more than 500% over the last week. Of infections that could be traced to their source, 37% happened in a hospitality venue like a bar or club with the biggest surge in 18-24-year-olds. In one of the fastest reversals of the pandemic, California health officials issued a statewide policy Monday that'd have barred students from school campuses if they refused to wear masks. Just hours later, they backtracked. Now they will "recognize local schools' experience in keeping students and educators safe." A new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundations asked people who were initially reluctant to get a vaccine what changed their mind. About half said it was something they learned, 36% said they were persuaded by somebody, a fourth of them changed when they saw others getting vaccinated without ill effects. 11% were reassured by their doctor. 8% were pressured by family and friends. And 3% did it so they could visit loved ones. Another poll, this one of New Yorkers, shows 68% of them think the worst is over. Only 17% think the worst is yet to come. 84% are at least somewhat comfortable having friends over, 80% are okay going to a beach or lakefront, 78% are ready to go on vacation, and 77% feel safe eating indoors at a restaurant. In the United States cases were up 94%, deaths are down 12%, and hospitalizations are up 16% over 14 days. The 7-day average of new cases has been trending up since July 5. There are now 4,879,927 active cases in the United States. The five states with the most new cases: Florida 5,095. Texas 3,567. California 3,543. Missouri 2,276. And Arkansas 1,476. The top 10 counties with the highest number of recent cases per capita according to The New York Times: Franklin, LA. Karnes, TX. Reeves, TX. Dimmit, TX. Baxter, AR. Perry, AR. Cherokee, KS. Greene, MO. Taney, MO. And Marion, AR. There have been 607,754 deaths in U.S. recorded as Covid-related. The top 3 vaccinating states by percentage of population that's been fully vaccinated: Vermont at 66.4%, Massachusetts at 62.6%, and Maine at 62.4%. The bottom 3 vaccinating states are Alabama at 33.3%, Mississippi at 33.4%, and Arkansas at 34.9%. The percentage of the U.S. that's been fully vaccinated is 48%.

Globally, cases were up 17% and deaths down 4% over 14 days, with the 7-day average trending up since June 21. There are 12,108,039 active cases around the world. The five countries with the most new cases: Indonesia 47,899. Brazil 45,094. Spain 43,960. India 40,215. And the U.K. 36,660. There have now been 4,047,669 deaths reported as Covid-related worldwide.

This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots… Just the facts… for July 13th, 2021. The World Health Organization's director-general rebuked vaccine manufacturers focused on getting booster shots to high-income countries. He says they should instead be focusing on providing vaccine to nations that have had little access to first doses. The Dutch Prime Minister has apologized for what he called “an error of judgment” in relaxing the Netherlands' coronavirus lockdown. It's a move believed to have led to a sharp surge in infections. Most remaining restrictions ended just over three weeks ago. France's President ordered all French health care workers to get vaccine shots by Sept. 15 and urged all citizens to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Resurgent infections are threatening the country's economic recovery. He also mandated special passes for anyone who wants to go to a restaurant, mall or hospital or get on a train or plane proving vaccination. U.S. health officials say Johnson & Johnson's vaccine may pose a “small possible risk” of a rare but potentially dangerous neurological reaction. The CDC has gotten reports of 100 people out of 13 million people who got the shot developing Guillain-Barré syndrome, an immune system disorder that can cause muscle weakness and occasionally paralysis. Springfield, Missouri's Mercy hospital has had to open its sixth COVID-19 ward as the delta virus overwhelms the state's southwest region. St. Louis County and Kansas City health officials are warning there are still more sharp case increases to come. The hospital needed only five wards during the height of the pandemic last year. In the United States cases were up 94%, deaths are down 12%, and hospitalizations are up 16% over 14 days. The 7-day average of new cases has been trending up since July 5.

Today on The Leaders' Brief - Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte appears to be preparing for a fourth term as the country concluded voting for its House of Representatives, a month after its collapse. While the country's ruling centre-right People's Party for Freedom and Democracy or VVD is expected to win the highest majority, forming a coalition appears to be tricky for the incumbent. Since 2010, Mark Rutte has led a fairly divergent group as coalition partners and has seen his government collapse within a record 528 days. However, for his second term, the Dutch Prime Minister, for the first time in almost a decade, saw his government complete its full four-year term, winning re-election in 2017.  China's industrial output grew exponentially to 35.1% in the first two months, compared to a 7.3% growth in December, according to data released by the country's National Bureau of Statistics, this week. Based on statistics, China would be easily able to achieve its target of 6% growth this year. The country has seen a steady growth after a 6.8% slump in the first quarter of 2020, and economists peg its growth potential for 2021 at anywhere between 8 and 9%. China's low growth target is indicative that the country may be contemplating a cut in monetary stimulus. The European Union has decided to take legal action against the United Kingdom for a breach of international law over its decision to change the terms of the Northern Ireland Protocol. The decision comes at a time the NI Protocol is facing judicial review after a separate legal filing by Ireland's Ultra Unionist Party. The UUP believes that the protocol cuts Northern Ireland off from the rest of the UK, by keeping it aligned with trade rules post-Brexit. The EU, on the other hand, has said that Britain was well aware of the nature of checks that goods crossing over to Northern Ireland from Great Britain would be subjected to while signing the agreement.  About egomonk: Website | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedInegomonk is a global intelligence platform delivering asymmetric outcomes by bringing organizations closer to the communities they want to serve and the leaders they wish to influence.

On today's episode of Fault Lines, hosts Shane Stranahan and Jamarl talked about a variety of subjects focusing on the impact of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, from the economic impact to its role in the current European Union summit to education, as well as discussing foreign policy and news of the day.GUESTSStephen Lendman - Author and Geopolitical Analyst | Spiraling SanctionsAndrew Spannaus - American Journalist and Writer in Italy | The EU Summit Marshall Auerback - Market Analyst and Writer for the Independent Media Institute | Economic Contractions and the COVID-19 EconomyWilliam Ayers - Author and Former Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) | Education After CoronavirusIn his first hour monologue, Jamarl called out Democrats for not taking Republicans to task and supporting an "imperial presidency" when it suits them.Then Shane and Jamarl were joined by guest Steven Lendman, who discussed the role of sanctions in current US foreign policy. Lendman sited the the cases of sanctions against both China and Iran as examples described the cascading effect on foreign relations that the sanctions have and how they are part of a attempt to maintain America's global hegemony.In the second hour, Jamarl and Shane were joined by Andrew Spannaus and talked about the European Union summit, and how is it has been stalled by the Dutch Prime Minister in a row with Hungry's leader as it is dealing with important issues that Europe faces as the COVID-19 crisis continues. They also talked about how the issue of who controls European Union's currency is an underlying conflict.Then the hosts were joined by Marshall Auerback, who discussed the growing economic contractions around the world due to the COVID-19 virus and how the Trump administration is handling it. There was also discussion of the Austrian economic model of simply letting systems fail on their own, which Auerback rejected as dangerous in a time of great economic change where greater training of workers is required.In the third hour, Shane and Jamarl welcomed William Ayers, who talked about the hypocrisy and contradictions when leading educational experts--including President Obama's former education secretary and people like Bill Gates-- advocate for an education system that they would not send their own children too. They also discussed the democratic ideals of public education, including what Ayers said is recognizing the "incalculable value" of every child.

There are a few more skirmishes and one more big battle after this period with its frustrations for the British and determination by the Boer die-hards or Bitter einders to continue their war against an empire at its zenith. We will hear about General Christiaan de Wet and Lord Kitchener who are closer physically than at virtually any other time in the war. Kitchener arrived in the Transvaal town of Klerksdorp on the 26th March, de Wet has evaded Kitchener's columns and blockhouses in the the Free State and is about to cross over the Vaal River to join General Koos de la Rey. More about that in a while. What these soldiers don't know is that there have been peace moves afoot internationally for some time. The Dutch Prime Minister, Abraham Kuyper, had sent a coded message to Lord Landsdowne, the British Foreign Secretary, on January 21st 1902. As was the case in those days, the language used was French - the language of diplomacy. And in his forthright way, The Hague was offering “en traite de paix” – a peace treaty between the British and Boers. The Dutch went one step further. They had already worked out a scenario. First the three members of the Boer Delegation which we heard about last year were still in the Netherlands. They would return to South Africa to confer with Boer leaders then return with an authorisation to conduct peace talks somewhere in the Netherlands. On the 29th January, Lord Landsdowne replied bluntly that the British government appreciated the humanitarian considerations that inspired the offer, but on principle declined the intervention of foreign powers in the South African war. Leyds, who was Paul Kruger's secretary in Holland, heard about Kuypers offer through the newspapers and was not amused. Why had the Dutch Prime Minister not bothered to confer with him or Kruger? What also angered the Boer emissaries in Europe was the tone adopted by the Netherlands missive. The letter which failed to call on the British to end an imperialist war nor did it mention the abuses being suffered by Boer women and children in the internment camps. The Dutch message implicitly urged the Boers to give up a hopeless cause. Worse, that response came at about the same time another arrived from America which was negative. President Roosevelt told the Boers that his predecessor, McKinley, had offered his services as a mediator and had been turned down flatly by the British. So Roosevelt said any attempt at intervention would be folly.
