EU to relocate asylum seekers from Spain, Italy, Greece and Cyprus 
BRUSSELS — Spain, Italy, Greece, and Cyprus have been considered "under migratory pressure" by the European Commission in its first Annual Asylum and Migration Report, unveiled on Tuesday.These countries were interested last year in a "disproportionate level" of migrant arrivals, including those rescued at sea.Spain, Italy, Greece and Cyprus will therefore benefit in 2026 from the solidarity of other EU member states, which could be expressed by relocating asylum seekers over their territory or by financial contribution.Together with this assessment, the Commission proposed to the EU 27 member states the Annual Solidarity Pool, a mechanism to determine the total number of asylum seekers to be relocated and the amount each country should allocate, or to compensate for by paying.The...

Starmer will fight attempts to replace him, allies say
LONDON — Allies of the British prime minister are making it clear he would fight any challenge to his leadership from Labour MPs.There are fears from those loyal to Sir Keir Starmer that his job might be under immediate threat, perhaps as soon as shortly after the Budget in a fortnight's time.Critics say it is evidence that Downing Street is "in full bunker mode" which "won't help the government out of the hole we're in."Friends of Sir Keir are deeply worried about what they see as plotting going on to try to replace him and are seeking to make clear what they see as the grave risks of a leadership challenge.Those names being discussed by Labour MPs as potential candidates to displace Sir Keir include some of his closest cabinet allies, especially Wes Streeting, the health...

Trump threatens to sue BBC as broadcaster faces ‘fight for its survival’
LONDON — The BBC is embroiled in a massive political fight over its future, with conservatives capitalizing on an editing screw-up and denouncing the British broadcaster while liberals argue that the institution is flawed but worth defending.On Monday, Trump intensified the pressure by sending a threatening legal letter to the news organization over the misleading edit in a one-year-old documentary about his reelection campaign. He is demanding at least $1 billion in damages.A BBC spokesperson told CNN that “we will review the letter and respond directly in due course.”Trump has sent several legal letters to other news organizations, including CNN, during his second term in office.The president’s legal threats often don’t amount to anything, but he does have pending lawsuits...

Cryptoqueen who fled China for London mansion to be sentenced over £5bn Bitcoin stash
LONDON — A woman, said by police to have bought cryptocurrency now worth billions of pounds using funds stolen from thousands of Chinese pensioners, is due to be sentenced this week for money laundering.After fleeing China, she moved to a mansion in Hampstead, north London. The Metropolitan Police raided it a year later and made one of the world's single largest crypto seizures.More than 100,000 Chinese people invested their money in her company — which claimed to be developing high-tech health products and mining cryptocurrency.

As she awaits sentencing, investors have told the BBC World Service they hope to get at least some of their cash back from the UK authorities.Anything left unclaimed would normally default to the UK...

France’s ex-president Sarkozy may be freed from prison after only 20 days
PARIS — A Paris court will rule Monday on whether to release former French President Nicolas Sarkozy from prison, just 20 days after he was incarcerated following his conviction for criminal conspiracy in a scheme linked to Libyan financing of his 2007 presidential campaign. Sarkozy, 70, became the first former president in modern French history to serve actual prison time when he was taken into custody on Oct. 21. He was sentenced on Sept. 25 to five years in prison, though his legal team is appealing the verdict and has filed for early release. Monday’s hearing will determine whether Sarkozy qualifies for conditional release under Article 144 of the French criminal code, which states that pre-appeal release should be the norm unless there is a risk of flight, witness tampering, or...

Ukrainian strikes hit Russian energy systems in Voronezh and Belgorod, officials say
KYIV — Nighttime Ukrainian strikes disrupted power and heating in two major Russian cities near the Ukrainian border, local Russian officials said Sunday, as both countries continue near-daily attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure amid stalled diplomatic efforts. In Voronezh, a drone strike triggered temporary blackouts and cut heating to parts of the city, regional Gov. Alexander Gusev said. Several drones were electronically jammed, but one sparked a fire at a utility facility that was quickly extinguished. Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels reported that a thermal power plant was targeted. Late Saturday, a missile strike caused “serious damage” to power and heating systems serving the city of Belgorod, Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov said. About 20,000 households were...
