Germany has been grappling with growing protests at home over its staunch support for Israel
Berlin on edge for Erdogan after fierce Israel criticism
BERLIN — No speeches in front of cheering crowds. No joint public appearances between leaders. And a rumored joint visit to a Germany-Turkey football match in Berlin that is not happening after all.For a state visit, Friday's visit by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Germany is remarkably low key. He will meet German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and then have dinner with the chancellor, Olaf Scholz.Two meetings behind closed doors and a private dinner hardly speak of fanfare.Apart from the intense security in the centre of the capital — the same level as precautions taken for US presidential visits — the German government hopes Erdogan's visit will pass with little notice.That's because this event couldn't come at a worst time for Germany.Relations...

Mass shooting fears as Lithuanian MPs propose automatic weapons bill
VILNIUS — Politicians in Lithuania want to widen access to automatic firearms, claiming it would make the country safer, though others warn the changes could bring new dangers.Two conservative MPs have put forward a bill amending the Arms and Ammunition Control Law to allow those who have been conscripted and completed initial military training to own automatic firearms.Amid the grinding war in Ukraine, Laurynas Kasčiūnas — one of the lawmakers behind the proposal — claimed it would "strengthen national security.""In case of a security threat, a population trained and equipped with automatic rifles can be mobilised quickly. This is particularly valuable for small states which might have limited standing military forces," he said in a statement sent to Euronews....

Spain's Pedro Sánchez wins new term as PM after amnesty deal
MADRID — After weeks of haggling, Socialist leader Pedro Sánchez has clinched a vote in parliament to lead Spain for another term as prime minister.He has secured a four-seat majority in the 350-seat chamber, after sealing an amnesty deal for Catalans involved in a failed bid to secede from Spain.The conservative Popular Party won elections in July, but leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo failed to form a majority.Sánchez told MPs that the amnesty deal would help "heal wounds".His reliance on two Catalan pro-independence parties to form a majority has infuriated opponents, who argue his proposed amnesty deal for hundreds of politicians and activists will trigger another bid for secession and threaten Spain's territorial unity.Socialist MPs applauded their leader as the result...
