Quick Glance: Geert Wilders lacks coalition support to become Dutch prime minister

  • The exact contours of a new coalition Cabinet are unclear, but negotiator Kim Putters believes the parties are ready to hammer out a deal.

Quick Glance: South Korea Suspends Licenses of Striking Doctors
  • South Korea's government initiated steps to suspend the medical licenses of thousands of striking junior doctors who failed to end their joint walkouts, causing significant disruptions in hospital operations.

  • Around 9,000 medical interns and residents have been on strike for two weeks, protesting against a government proposal to increase medical school admissions sharply, resulting in numerous canceled surgeries and threats to the country's healthcare system.

  • Officials conducted checks at hospitals to confirm the absence of striking doctors as the government proceeded with license suspensions, giving the doctors a chance to respond before implementation.

  • The government reiterated its call for the doctors to cease their walkouts and return to patient care, emphasizing the critical importance of prioritizing patient well-being during the ongoing strike.
