UK and France set to strike deal to stop migrants crossing Channel next week
LONDON — The UK and France are on the verge of striking a deal to tackle migration across the English Channel, with an agreement possibly coming as early as Monday, British newspapers reported on Sunday.The agreement will significantly increase the number of French officers and volunteers who operate on the Channel's beaches, while France will aim to prevent a "much higher" proportion of migrants from leaving its shores, according to the Telegraph.London wants to secure France's help in stopping migrants from making the perilous crossing across the waterway. Critics have said the UK should instead open up more legal routes for people to come to the country.Almost 40,000 people have crossed the Channel in small boats so far in 2022, research by the BBC reveals.

Opposition MPs criticize Polish police behavior at nationalist march
WARSAW — Polish police were criticized by opposition politicians on Saturday for detaining anti-fascist protestors at a nationalist rally, while not reacting to the illegal use of Nazi symbols by other demonstrators.In a tweet, Michal Szczerba, an opposition MP, said five people with a banner reading “nationalism is not patriotism” were “surrounded and detained” by police on Friday “without a legal basis”.Police said they had “grounds” for detaining the protestors.The arrests occurred during a yearly far-right-led Independence March in Warsaw, Poland’s capital. Organized by nationalist groups, the event has been marked by violence in the past.Many groups who oppose the march have accused police of displaying favorable treatment toward the nationalists while unfairly...

Iran should expect more EU sanctions, says German leader Scholz
BERLIN — Iran should expect more sanctions from the EU, Germany's leader said on Saturday, adding that his country stands “shoulder to shoulder with the Iranian people”.German Chancellor Olaf Scholz strongly criticized the Iranian government for its bloody crackdown on protests, sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini on Sept. 16.Scholz said the protests were no longer “merely a question of dress codes” but had evolved into a fight for freedom and justice.Unrest began when Amini died after being detained by Iran's morality police for allegedly not wearing her hijab properly. It has morphed into one of the largest and most significant challenges to Iran's Islamic government in its history.Scholz's remarks come ahead of an EU meeting on Monday, where foreign ministers...

Meloni slams 'aggressive' France as migrant rescue ship row
TOULON/ROME — A charity-run ship carrying around 230 migrants rescued at sea docked at a French port on Friday after being turned away by Italy, as a war of words over their fate between the two European Union neighbors intensified.France warned Italy of "severe consequences" before the Ocean Viking arrived at the southern port of Toulon. The charity ship was denied entry by Rome after it rescued the migrants in the Mediterranean.That brought an angry response from Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, head of Italy's most right-wing government in decades, who now appears ready to push the dispute to the top of the European agenda."I was struck by the aggressive reaction from the French government which from my point of view is incomprehensible and unjustified,"...

Vatican to investigate French cardinal who admitted abusing 14-year-old girl
ROME — The Vatican is to launch a preliminary sex abuse investigation into a prominent French cardinal after he admitted to having behaved in a "reprehensible way" with a 14-year-old girl 35 years ago.Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said on Friday a search was under way to find a lead investigator with the "necessary autonomy, impartiality and experience".Cardinal Jean-Pierre Ricard, the retired archbishop of Bordeaux and a former president of the French bishops' conference, confessed to the abuse in a letter last week while French bishops were meeting at their annual assembly in Lourdes.The revelation further sparked outrage within the French Catholic Church, which has been reeling over revelations of decades of abuse and cover-ups detailed in a groundbreaking...

Growing number of British farmers now calling for the UK to re-enter the single market.
Some UK farmers say they are 'struggling to cope' after Brexit
LONDON — Food production in the UK is slowing down and some farms are shrinking. Many farmers say they’re struggling to cope.Liz Webster is the chair of Save British Food and says it’s a disastrous situation, "spiraling out of control.“She represents a growing number of British farmers now calling for the UK to re-enter the single market.“Trade is bound up in so much red tape.

But also I tend to look at it for the whole country and I’m really concerned for food security, food stocks and food supply."Webster goes on to say that the quick solution is to free up trade "by getting back in the single market as quickly as possible.”And it’s not just those involved in...

Slovenia poised to elect first-ever female president
LJUBLJANA — Slovenia looks poised to elect its first-ever female president in an election on Sunday.Liberal candidate Natasa Pirc Musar is tipped to win a presidential election runoff in the small, central European country Sunday, possibly becoming Slovenia's first female head of state.All opinion polls suggest that the 54-year-old human rights advocate and lawyer has a wide lead going into the runoff against her center-right opponent, former Foreign Minister Anze Logar.None of the seven contenders managed to gather more than 50% of the vote in the first round and so secure victory, meaning Logar and Pirc Musar went forward to a runoff.Logar previously led after the first ballot, but analysts in Slovenia have predicted the tables will be turned second time around as centrist and...
