European and Iranian diplomats fail to agree on how to avoid reviving UN sanctions
GENEVA — Representatives of three European countries threatening to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program failed to agree with their Iranian counterpart on Tuesday on how to avoid the measures days ahead of a deadline, a diplomat said.The discussions in Geneva among representatives of France, Germany and the United Kingdom "ended without a final outcome," said the diplomat with knowledge of the meeting, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak publicly about the talks.The diplomat said efforts would continue to find a solution ahead of a deadline at the end of this month to invoke the so-called snapback mechanism of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal over what the countries have deemed Iran's lack of compliance.The snapback would...

Reform UK chief Nigel Farage says party will mass deport migrants if it wins election
LONDON — Nigel Farage, the leader of Britain's hard-right Reform UK party, said on Tuesday that if he wins the next general election, the country will leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and immediately detain and deport anyone who arrives in the country illegally.Farage laid out his plans to tackle illegal immigration following a significant rise in the number of migrants who arrive by boat across the English Channel, and weeks of protests over the government's use of hotels to house asylum-seekers.Despite holding just four of the 650 seats in the House of Commons, Farage's party has gained momentum by seizing on public frustration over successive governments' inability to bring down the number of migrants coming by boat.National polls have suggested...

Polish president vetoes bill to extend support for Ukraine's Starlink
WARSAW — Poland's President Karol Nawrocki vetoed a bill on Monday to extend the existing support package for Ukraine, saying Warsaw will not be able to continue paying for Kyiv's access to the Starlink network.That means Polish funding to keep Ukraine connected to the internet via Starlink will stop on 1 October, potentially cutting off frontline troops from access to real-time information.Poland has supported Ukraine's internet access via Starlink since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion in early 2022, and the loss of this lifeline service is expected to be a massive blow to Ukrainian troops."Presidential vetoes are cutting blindly. Karol Nawrocki turns off the Internet in Ukraine with his decision, because de facto it means his decision on the law on...
