Dutch government collapses over ‘impossible to bridge’ differences on migration policy
The Dutch government has collapsed after failing to reach a conclusion on controlling high immigration rates. The four-party coalition government was unable to reach a consensus on talks about asylum policies that were led by prime minister Mark Rutte on Friday. Mr Rutte held an emergency cabinet meeting where he said he would hand in his resignation to King Willem-Alexander on Saturday. “The decision was very difficult for us”, Mr Rutte told reporters after announcing his cabinet’s resignation. The differences in views between the coalition partners were “irreconcilable”, he said. “All parties went to great lengths to find a solution, but the differences on migration are unfortunately impossible to bridge.” “The four parties decided that they cannot reach an agreement on migration,” said Tim Kuijsten, a spokesperson for the Christian Union party that was in coalition with Mr Rutte’s conservative VVD party. “Therefore they decided to end this government.” Mr Rutte’s party has in the past year been working towards reducing the flow of asylum seekers due to the issue of overcrowded migration centres in the Netherlands. Last year, hundreds of asylum seekers were forced to sleep outdoors in squalid conditions near an overcrowded reception centre as the number of people arriving in the Netherlands outstripped the available beds. Just over 21,500 people from outside Europe sought asylum in the Netherlands in 2022, according to the country’s statistics office. Thousands more moved to the Netherlands to work and study. The numbers have put a strain on housing that already was in short supply in the densely populated country. The coalition tried for months to hash out a deal to reduce the flow of new migrants arriving in the country of nearly 18 million people. The proposals on hand included creating two classes of asylum and reducing the number of family members allowed to join asylum seekers The two asylum classes were a temporary one for people fleeing conflicts and a permanent one for people trying to escape persecution. Mr Rutte’s coalition government had been in power for a year and a half. He has been Netherlands’s longest-serving prime minister and has been in office since 2010. Until a new government is elected, the current ministers will continue their work as a caretaker cabinet. Elections in the Netherlands will now reportedly take place in November this year.

New York Jets fan loses teeth in rage at Zach Wilson's poor showing
New York Jets fans are getting so angry with their team that they are spitting straight fury. Or, in this case, spitting teeth. As the American football side fell to a 15-10 loss against the New England Patriots on Sunday, one supporter got so irate that he ended up losing his teeth. And this was a while before the Jets succumbed to defeat – the teeth flew out when the man screamed with rage as they went just 3-0 down in the second quarter of the match. Thankfully, it was only the Jets that lost – the fan managed to regain composure, catch his teeth and pop them straight back in. The footage was seized upon by both Jim Nantz and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who got a laugh out of the live clip during a brief intermission of play. "You can see it on their face, the frustration. You know you are frustrated when your teeth come out," Romo said while Nantz chuckled away. Jets QB Zach Wilson completed 18 of his 36 passes without managing to get a touchdown, gaining just 157 yards as the Jets' struggles continued. They will face the Kansas City Chiefs next week – and things aren't looking like they'll get better any time soon. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Harry Kane to make decision about future as Spurs accept offer
Harry Kane's blockbuster move to Bayern Munich looks set to go ahead, after the German club reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur to sign the England men's football captain, according to reports. The proposed transfer from the Bundesliga side, which is believed to be worth more than €100m (£86.4m), was accepted by the Premier League team on Wednesday. Now, it is up to Kane to decide whether he stays or goes. Kane, 30, is England's top goalscorer of all time. He reportedly wanted the situation resolved before the Premier League restarted this weekend, when Tottenham will play Brentford. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The player is said to be enjoying playing for the new Spurs manager, Ange Postecoglou, and had been leaning towards staying in England in recent weeks. However, the transfer fee being accepted marks a significant move forward in the striker's potential move to Germany. Fans of other clubs have been calling for Kane to move to a team where he might win a trophy for several years, while Spurs fans, perhaps understandably, have been reticent to lose their talisman. Kane scored 30 Premier League goals last season despite a disappointing campaign for Spurs, who finished eighth and missed out on European football. They remain without a trophy since 2008. With 213 goals in 320 Premier League games, he is currently 48 goals away from breaking Alan Shearer's record as the highest scorer in Premier League history. Bayern have now met all the conditions required to land Kane, who would be paid in the region of £400,000-per-week with the German giants. Spurs fans serenaded the forward with chants of 'we want you to stay' in Spurs' last friendly game before the start of the new season. Have your say in our news democracy.
