Missing Man Found Injured in Cornfield; Czech Election Underway; Trump Proposes Gaza Peace Plan
A 39-year-old man from Duisburg, missing for three days, has been found alive but injured in a cornfield in Sonsbeck. Meanwhile, the Czech Republic has begun parliamentary elections, with a tense race between right-wing populist Andrej Babis and liberal-conservative Petr Fiala.
The missing man, last seen on Friday evening, was discovered on Monday afternoon. Emergency services rushed him to hospital for treatment. The cause of his injuries and how he ended up in the cornfield are under investigation.
In the Czech Republic, voters are casting their ballots. Andrej Babis, a billionaire and former prime minister, is seeking a return to power. He leads the ANO party, which focuses on economic reforms. Liberal-conservative Petr Fiala, the current prime minister, is warning voters about a potential shift 'to the east' if Babis wins. Fiala's party, STAN, emphasizes democratic values and EU integration.
In international news, former US President Donald Trump has proposed a peace plan for Gaza. He set a deadline for Hamas to agree, which they partially accepted, demanding further negotiations. The US has also targeted another alleged drug ship, resulting in four fatalities.
The search for the missing Duisburg man ended successfully, though he remains in hospital. The Czech election is underway, with voters deciding between Babis' economic focus and Fiala's democratic stance. Trump's Gaza peace plan is being considered by Hamas, with further talks expected.
