Geert Wilders' Party for Freedom won a huge victory in the Dutch elections, with 37 seats in the 150-seat lower house of parliament, more than double the 17 seats he won at the last election. This is a reflection of the growing support for far-right parties across Europe, and could lead to a shift in the country's policies if Wilders is able to form a coalition government. This could also embolden other far-right parties in Europe, leading to further political shifts to the right.

The U.S. Forest Service has announced plans to shoot wild cattle from helicopters in New Mexico beginning next week in order to protect the Gila Wilderness, the nation's first designated wilderness area. Animal rights activists have criticized the decision, arguing for relocation instead of killing the cattle, but Forest Service officials maintain that shooting them from helicopters is the most effective way to address the problem. The operation is expected to begin next week and will continue until the cattle population is reduced to a safe level.
