NATO meets to talk Ukraine at scene of one of its most controversial decisions
BUCHAREST — NATO meets on Tuesday to drum up much-needed support for Ukraine.Foreign ministers from countries in the western military alliance will gather in Romania to discuss how they can assist Ukraine after Russian strikes on its power networks ahead of winter.But the meet-up location — Bucharest — is hugely significant given Russia’s war in Ukraine.It was here in April 2008 that former US President George W. Bush persuaded NATO allies that Ukraine and Georgia would one day join the military alliance.Moscow invaded Georgia four months later. Some experts describe the decision in Bucharest as a massive error that left Russia feeling cornered by a seemingly ever-expanding NATO.NATO counters that it doesn’t pressgang countries into joining and that some requested membership to...

UK waters down Internet restrictions after free speech criticism
LONDON — The UK government has watered down a sweeping new law on Internet safety after strong criticism from campaigners and lawmakers.The Online Safety Bill would have forced tech giants to remove online content that is “legal but harmful”.The legislation would have given regulators wide-ranging powers to sanction digital and social media companies, such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok.Like the EU’s planned Digital Services Act (DSA), the UK aimed to crack down on online racism, sexual abuse, bullying, fraud, and other harmful material.But critics had expressed concern that the Online Safety Bill could lead to censorship and undermine free speech.UK Digital Secretary Michelle Donelan confirmed that the government has now abandoned that ”legal but harmful” wording...

LONDON — Rishi Sunak has said the so-called "golden era" of relations with China is over, as he vowed to "evolve" the UK's stance toward the country.In his first foreign policy speech, Sunak said the closer economic ties of the previous decade had been "naïve".The prime minister said the UK had to replace wishful thinking with "robust pragmatism" towards competitors.But he warned against "Cold War rhetoric", adding that China's global significance could not be ignored.Sunak has faced pressure from Tory backbenchers to toughen the UK's stance on China since he took over as prime minister last month.His speech, at the Lord Mayor's Banquet in London, comes after protests in China over the weekend against the country's...

Russia hits out as Pope labels minority ethnic soldiers 'cruel'
MOSCOW — Russia has hit out at comments from the Pope that some minority groups of soldiers have behaved worse than others in the invasion of Ukraine.The "cruelest" troops are generally Chechens and Buryats, Pope Francis told a US magazine.He also labeled the Holodomor famine caused by the Kremlin in Ukraine in the 1930s genocide.Russia called the remarks a "perversion", and said national groups were "one family".In an interview with America, a Jesuit magazine, Pope Francis was asked about his apparent reluctance to directly condemn Russia for the war.In response, he said he received "much information about the cruelty of the troops"."Generally, the cruellest are perhaps those who are of Russia but are not of the Russian tradition, such as the...

Spanish coastguard finds stowaways on ship rudder
MADRID — Three stowaways have been found sitting on the rudder of a ship after it completed an 11-day voyage from Nigeria, Spanish authorities say.A photo shared by the coastguard shows the men sitting on the rudder at the oil tanker's helm, their feet less than a metre away from the water.They were taken to hospital at the tanker's destination in Gran Canaria and treated for moderate dehydration.It's unclear if they spent the entire journey perched on the rudder.The Maltese-flagged Althini II arrived in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, from Nigeria's largest city Lagos - a journey of more than 2,700 nautical miles - according to data collected by maritime tracking websites.The men were seen by medics at the dock where they were found, and were taken to hospital soon after, the...
