EU leaders insist eurozone is ‘resilient’ and ‘in good shape’ as Deutsche Bank shares plunge
BRUSSELS — Banks across the eurozone are resilient, stable and strong, European Union leaders insisted on Friday at the end of a two-day summit in Brussels.But their words stood in stark contrast with the harsh reality of the financial markets, where Deutsche Bank, Germany’s largest lender, was suffering a precipitous decline in value, with its shares plunging by almost 15% during Friday’s trading.The fall was credited to a rise in credit default swaps (CDSs), which reflect the insurance costs against a possible default on a bank’s debt.Other European banks, including UBS, Commerzbank, Société Générale and BNP Paribas, were also affected by the turbulence, although to a lesser extent.Financial markets have been rocked by persistent turmoil since the collapse of Silicon Valley...

Both superpowers were heavily criticized by young Europeans
Young Europeans scathing of both US and China: Study
BRUSSELS — Young European adults are sharply critical of both the US and China, albeit for different reasons, according to a new study.The US-based Pew Research Center found British, French and German people aged 18 to 29 have "few positive things to say" about the world's superpowers.The US was judged badly for its self-assumed role as the "world policeman" and its catastrophic past military interventions, particularly in the Middle East. Meanwhile, China was lambasted for its expansionism and human rights violations, yet earned respect for its "economic might".Those interviewed were from across the political spectrum.In the research published on Wednesday, young Europeans were found to be concerned about China's track record on human rights,...

ATHENS — A hunger strike has broken out at a Greek detention center over allegations of dehumanizing treatment and rampant police violence.At least 11 people are refusing food in Paranesti Pre-Removal Center, a sprawling camp in northern Greece that houses migrants caught without proper paperwork.In a statement, strikers accused authorities of denying detainees adequate food, hot water, medicine and housing them in filthy cells infested with cockroaches, while not explaining the reason for their imprisonment.They also alleged camp officials have forced them to sign papers in Greek, without translation, and that they are beaten if they refuse to do so."We are increasingly worried about the safety of those who have been forced to take such drastic actions to claim access to their...

Former British PM Boris Johnson takes an oath on the Bible before being grilled in the Partygate saga in London on Wednesday.
Partygate: MPs clash with Boris Johnson over denials
LONDON — Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has repeatedly insisted he did not intentionally mislead Parliament over Partygate in a three-hour grilling by a committee of MPs.The former prime minister began the session with a Bible in his hands, as he swore: “Hand on heart, I did not lie to the House.”He admitted social distancing had not been “perfect” at gatherings in Downing Street during COVID lockdowns.
