A spokesperson for the Polish Mining Group says the miner was declared dead Wednesday and the rescue operation finished as investigators look into the cause of the collapse.

Two other coal mine workers were killed in accidents inside other mines in Poland this year... Читать дальше...

Anti-Islam firebrand Geert Wilders is on the verge of brokering a four-party coalition in the Netherlands six months after coming in first in national elections, opening the prospect that yet another European Union nation will veer toward the hard right weeks ahead of EU-wide elections. Wilders has said he does not expect to become prime minister himself, because he remains too extreme for his coalition partners, but his Party for Freedom would be the driving force in a four-party coalition.

The United Nations says more than half a million of people have been displaced in recent days by fighting there. Israel is pressing its military operations in Rafah, along Gaza’s southern border with Egypt, and in northern Gaza, where Hamas has regrouped. No food has entered the two main border crossings in southern Gaza for the past week. Читать дальше...

Indonesian authorities have seeded clouds in a bid to prevent further rainfall after flash floods that hit the country's Sumatra Island over the weekend left at least 58 people dead.

The deluge tore through mountainside villages in four districts in West Sumatra province just before midnight on Saturday. The floods swept away people and 79 homes and submerged hundreds of houses and buildings... Читать дальше...

The political power of Muslims is declining in the world's largest democracy. Tensions between Hindus and Muslims in India are not new, but they have gotten worse under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. His ruling Bharatiya Janata Party touts a Hindu-nationalist ideology and is on the cusp of delivering him a third five-year term. As the BJP becomes more powerful — this year’s vote will be decided in June — the proportion of Muslim lawmakers in parliament and state legislatures is shrinking. One political... Читать дальше...

Morocco has grown its automotive industry from virtually non-existent to Africa’s largest in less than two decades. The North African kingdom supplies more cars to Europe than China, India or Japan, and has the capacity to produce 700,000 vehicles a year. Moroccan officials are determined to maintain the country’s role as a car-making juggernaut by competing for electric vehicle projects. But whether one of Africa’s few industrialization success stories can stay competitive as worldwide auto production... Читать дальше...

After 30 years of dominating South African politics, the ruling African National Congress will face its toughest election this month as most opinion polls predict it will lose its parliamentary majority for the first time. Once admired under the leadership of Nelson Mandela, and regarded as a beacon of hope by the Black majority following the fall of apartheid in 1994, the ANC’s reputation has been battered by record levels of unemployment, widespread poverty, the collapse of some government services and corruption scandals.

Shawnna Bolick joined Democrats to repeal the ban a few weeks later. The marked split between the husband and wife adds to an increasingly confusing and chaotic legal and philosophical landscape surrounding abortion access in Arizona. And it could spell trouble for them during an election year, when both of them will be on the ballot. The Bolicks' conservative credentials are strong... Читать дальше...

Analysts estimate that year-over-year inflation dipped from 3.5% in March to 3.4% in April. Measured from March to April... Читать дальше...
