Italian security forces take control of Turkish ship attacked by stowaways
ROME — A Turkish ship that was attacked by armed stowaways was secured by security forces off the southern city of Naples, the Italian defense minister said Friday.“The ship’s hijackers have been captured. All ended well,” Guido Crosetto wrote on Twitter and congratulated security forces taking part in the operation to regain control of the ship.Crosetto told reporters earlier that stowaways, who he described as a group of illegal immigrants with “dagger-type weapons,” took control of the Turkish-flagged Galata Seaways ro-ro ship, which was sailing from Türkiye’s Yalova province to the French port of Sete.Following the operation by two Navy helicopters, coast guard personnel and customs police, control of the ship was regained off Naples.Türkiye’s General Directorate of...

Ukraine counter-offensive actions have begun, Zelensky says
KYIV — Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky appears to have confirmed that his country’s long-awaited counter-offensive against Russia has started.“Counteroffensive and defensive actions are taking place,” he said on Saturday.But he added that he would not talk in detail about which stage or state the counter-offensive was in.The comments come after an escalation of fighting in the south and east of Ukraine and speculation about progress of the widely anticipated push.Ukrainian troops are reported to have advanced in the east near Bakhmut and in the south near Zaporizhzhia, and have carried out long-range strikes on Russian targets.But assessing the reality on the front lines is difficult, with the two warring sides presenting contrasting narratives: Ukraine claiming progress...

UN relief chief outlines emergency plan for Ukraine dam disaster
GENEVA — Plans to help the people of Ukraine following the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam are centered on saving people “right now”, UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths told UN News in an interview on Friday.“We need to focus on an emergency response right now”, he said, highlighting a three-step plan to provide humanitarian assistance to all Ukrainians impacted, who have faced more than one year of war following Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.“We need to save people and get them to places where they are safe and can eat, and get safe drinking water.”Four days since the destruction of the dam in southern Ukraine, flooding has started to recede, although the disaster is still causing displacement and rising humanitarian needs, according to the UN...

Tories to face third by-election as Johnson ally resigns
LONDON — The resignation of Conservative MP Nigel Adams on Saturday is another blow for Conservative British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.He is the third Tory MP to quit with immediate effect in two days, triggering another by-election. The MP for Selby and Ainsty is an ally of Boris Johnson but did not link his resignation to that of the former PM.Writing on Twitter, the 56-year-old said that his local party selected an “excellent new parliamentary candidate” on Friday.“It has been an honor to represent the area where I was raised, educated & I want to thank my constituents for their wonderful support since 2010,” he wrote.Adams’ resignation followed Johnson’s stepping down as an MP on Friday evening claiming he was “forced out of Parliament” over Partygate.Friday night...

Swedish climate activist stages final school strike for the climate
STOCKHOLM — Greta Thunberg is staging her final School Strike for Climate Friday.The Swedish activist sparked the global youth movement in 2018 when she encouraged students to skip classes on Fridays to demand action against climate change.Since then, millions of students in more than 180 countries have participated in the Fridays for Future strikes, calling for the fossil fuel industry to transition to renewable energy, among other demands.“When I started striking in 2018 I could never have expected that it would lead to anything,” Greta tweeted this morning.“Some more people joined, and quite suddenly this was a global movement growing every day.”“Today, I graduate from school, which means I’ll no longer be able to school strike for the climate,” tweets Greta. “This is...

A brutal murder prompts Italy to boost laws against gender-based violence
ROME — After the latest murder of a woman by her partner, Italy is revisiting its laws protecting women from gender-based violence. But experts say new legislative measures are not what the country needs.Only days after a pregnant woman was brutally killed by her boyfriend in a murder that shocked and outraged the nation, Italy has introduced stricter measures to try to stop the steady rise in the number of femicides in the country.Giulia Tramontano, 29, was seven months pregnant when she was stabbed to death by her partner and baby’s father, 30-year-old Alessandro Impagnatiello, who was reportedly in a secret relationship with another woman.The gruesome details of the murder and Impagnatiello’s attempts to conceal her body, together with his efforts to deflect attention from the...

EU chiefs hail new migration deal while Viktor Orbán calls it 'unacceptable'
LUXEMBOURG — Official reactions are pouring in after home affairs ministers struck a major deal to revamp the European Union's migration and asylum policy.Ursula von der Leyen, who, upon becoming president of the European Commission, made the overhaul one of her top priorities, called the agreement a "huge milestone.""Migration is a European challenge," von der Leyen said in a tweet. "Working together, we can achieve a common solution."Charles Michel, president of the European Council, an institution that has witnessed countless debates on migration over the past years, most of which were as polarising as they were fruitless, said the deal represented "truly a big step."Von der Leyen and Michel sent their personal congratulations to Ylva...

The pipeline runs to the Ukrainian port of Odesa from Togliatti in Russia
Russia says ammonia pipeline blast may end grain deal
MOSCOW — Russia has blamed Ukraine for a blast on a key ammonia pipeline and says it may have a "negative" impact on efforts to renew a landmark grain export deal.Moscow has accused Ukrainian "sabotage" groups for the blast that damaged the Togliatti-Odesa pipeline on Monday.And the Kremlin says it will not renew last year's grain export deal with Kyiv unless the pipeline is operational.But President Volodymyr Zelensky denied the allegations and said the explosion was likely caused by Russian shelling.Before the war, the 2,500-km (1,530-mile) pipeline -- which runs from the Russian city of Togliatti to three Black Sea ports in southern and western Ukraine -- exported 2.5 million tonnes of ammonia annually.But operations on the pipeline ceased after Russian's...
