Bosnian Serb leader threatens secession ahead of UN genocide vote
BELGRADE — The leader of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Serb-majority entity, Milorad Dodik, repeated his threat to withdraw from the Balkan country on Wednesday, a day before a UN vote on establishing an annual day to commemorate the 1995 genocide of more than 8,000 Bosniaks in Srebrenica.Relatives of the victims, meanwhile, said that the vote would mark a historic day in ensuring that the deaths cannot be denied or forgotten.The proposed UN resolution sponsored by Germany and Rwanda has been supported by the Bosniaks but has sparked protests and a lobbying campaign against it by the Bosnian Serb Dodik and the populist president of neighboring Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić.The two leaders say the resolution would brand "all Serbs as genocidal", although the draft does not explicitly...

President Macron said restoring peace was the absolute priority
Unprecedented insurrection in New Caledonia, says Macron
PARIS — President Emmanuel Macron has described rioting in the French-Pacific territory of New Caledonia as an "unprecedented insurrection movement" that no one saw coming.During a tour of police headquarters in the capital Nouméa on Thursday, he said the coming days and weeks would be difficult, but Paris would "go until the end" to restore calm.Six people, including two police officers, have been killed and hundreds more wounded in riots, looting and arson triggered by a controversial electoral reform.New Caledonia, a group of islands between Australia and Fiji, has been a French territory since the 19th Century. Tensions have been high for some time between the central government in Paris and indigenous Kanaks who make up about 40% of the tiny archipelago.Kanak...

At least six dead in Russian missile attack on Kharkiv
KYIV — At least six people have been killed and more than a dozen injured in a Russian missile attack on Kharkiv, north-eastern Ukraine, according to the regional head.A further two people remain missing after the attack, which saw Russian forces strike Ukraine's second-largest city at least 15 times, Oleg Sinegubov said.He advised people in the city to remain in shelters.Ukraine's state railway company said several of its facilities had been damaged in the attack and a number of its employees had been injured.Earlier this month, Russian forces began a renewed offensive in the region in an attempt to break through a weakened Ukrainian front line.On Wednesday, Sinegubov said fighting was continuing near the towns of Pletenivka and Vovchansk, but that Ukraine's forces were in...

EPP leads European vote polls as far right grows dramatically with liberals in free fall
BRUSSELS — Conservative forces are set to win the European elections, the latest Euronews Super Poll from the Euronews Polls Centre can exclusively reveal.Parties from the center-right, ultraconservative and far-right are leading the polls in the main EU countries.Meanwhile, liberal-democrats are likely to face a painful defeat, as the centre-left settles into fragile stability with moderate losses and timid gains, depending on the country.The main consequence of the election could be the appointment of a new conservative head of the European Commission. A harsh struggle between already established and new parliamentary groups and the alliances over who will run EU affairs over the next five years is also likely to ensue.The European People's Party (EPP) is set to confirm its...

Erdoğan claims Eurovision contestants threaten family values
ANKARA — Last weekend, Swiss singer Nemo convincingly won Eurovision with their song ‘The Code’. Nemo earned the lion’s share of the jury vote and fifth in the public vote for their operatic vocal melodies and impressive performance atop a rotating platform.Nemo also made history at the 68th Eurovision Song Contest as the first non-binary contestant to win, an important moment for an event that has long championed LGBTQ+ equality and inclusion.While Nemo’s victory sparked celebrations in the Malmö arena and around the world, one world leader was less than pleased with their historic win.Türkiye president gave a speech after a cabinet meeting on Monday in which he described the contest’s participants as the “Trojan horses of social corruption”.In 2013, when he was the...

Concerns over trial of Greek shipwreck accused
ATHENS — As nine men face trial in Greece accused of causing the worst migrant shipwreck in the Mediterranean Sea for a decade, the BBC revealed key discrepancies in the case against them.The accused face life in prison if convicted of people-smuggling and causing the sinking of the fishing boat last June in which as many as 600 people are feared to have drowned.The indictment obtained by the BBC shows the defendants are being prosecuted on evidence which has already been contradicted by at least six survivors who told us the coastguard had caused their boat to capsize and then pressured them to frame the Egyptians.Human rights groups, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have said they have strong reservations about the integrity of the Greek investigation and...

'Day of shame' as inquiry slams 'successive governments' for UK infected blood scandal
LONDON — An inquiry report into the UK's infected blood scandal in the 1970s and 1980s documented a series of failures by "successive governments" and medical professionals in the UK.Roughly 3,000 people are believed to have died as a result of being infected with HIV and hepatitis from blood transfusions during what's seen as the deadliest scandal to afflict the UK's National Health Service (NHS) since its inception in 1948."It will be astonishing to anyone who reads this Report that these events could have happened in the UK," reads the inquiry report's introductory summary."It may also be surprising that the questions why so many deaths and infections occurred have not had answers before now," it continues.The inquiry found that the scale...
