Still no Govt in Netherlands as coalition talks fail

In the Netherlands, negotiations to form a coalition have collapsed after the leader of the far-right Freedom Party, Geert Wilders, walked out. Wilders said he did not trust some members of the Christian Democrats to adhere to any agreement reached. Some Christian Democrats have expressed deep reservations about any deal with Wilders because of his strong anti-Islamic and anti-immigration views. The collapse comes three months after an inconclusive general election. The Netherlands has been without a government since the previous coalition collapsed in February.
