Duco Telgenkamp (6th minute), Boris Burkhardt (40th) and Tjep Hoedemakers (42nd) scored for the Dutch side while Sanjay (17th) and Gurjant Singh (45th) struck for India. India lost 1-4 to the same opponents here on Wednesday but had come into Saturday's match after a convincing 3-0 win over Argentina. India, though, are on top of the standings with 27 points from 15 matches. India started off the match with more possession, looking to attack the Dutch in the early stages. The Netherlands had to dig deep to keep India from scoring even though Amit Rohidas almost converted a penalty corner. But, it was Duco Telgenkamp who broke the deadlock when he poked it past PR Sreejesh at the far post. The Netherlands continued to attack after that, but Sreejesh made a couple of brilliant saves in the final minutes of the first quarter as India trailed 0-1 going into the first break. India resp

Dutch asks Russian diplomats to leave country over trying to smuggle spies

The Dutch government said Saturday that a number of Russian diplomats will have to leave the Netherlands, accusing Moscow of trying to smuggle spies into the country that is home to institutions including the International Criminal Court and the global chemical weapons watchdog. The announcement is the latest twist in a diplomatic dispute between the two countries that began shortly after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine nearly a year ago sparked a war on Europe's eastern flank. Despite numerous attempts by the Netherlands to find a solution, Russia continues to try to get intelligence officers into the Netherlands under diplomatic cover, Foreign Affairs Minister Wopke Hoekstra said in a statement. We cannot and will not allow that." He added that it remains important to keep the embassies open as a communication channel, even now that relations with Russia are more difficult than ever. The Russian diplomats were given two weeks to leave the country. A Russian trade office i

Netherlands, Japan join US limits on chip tech to counter China: Report

Japan and the Netherlands have agreed to a deal with the US to restrict China's access to materials used to make advanced computer chips, a person familiar with the agreement has said. The person, who spoke with the Associated Press on Sunday, declined to be identified because the deal hasn't yet been formally announced. It's unclear when all three sides will unveil the agreement. The White House declined to comment. The Biden administration in October imposed export controls to limit China's ability to access advanced chips, which it says can be used to make weapons, commit human rights abuses and improve the speed and accuracy of its military logistics. It urged allies like Japan and the Netherlands to follow suit. China has responded angrily, saying trade curbs will disrupt supply chains and the global economic recovery. We hope the relevant countries will do the right thing and work together to uphold the multilateral trade regime and safeguard the stability of the global ...

US Prez Joe Biden to host Netherlands PM for talks on tech, Ukraine

President Joe Biden is set to host Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte for talks as the US administration looks to persuade the Netherlands to further limit China's access to advanced semiconductors with export restrictions. Tuesday's wide-ranging talks are also expected to cover the countries' efforts to thwart Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine and an upcoming democracy summit, according to the White House. The Biden administration has been trying to get the Netherlands on the same page since the US Commerce Department announced in October new export controls aimed at China. The restrictions are intended to limit China's ability to access advanced computing chips, develop and maintain supercomputers, and make advanced semiconductors. Administration officials have reasoned that the export restrictions are necessary because China can use semiconductors to create advanced military systems including weapons of mass destruction; commit human rights abuses; and improve the speed and ...
