Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni
Italian government faces a split over citizenship reform debate
ROME — Many within the Italian far-right populist Lega party called it "a summer fling", but the center-right Forza Italia's ambition to introduce a new citizenship reform based on years spent studying in Italy seems to be gaining momentum.Speaking on the margins of the Cernobbio economic forum over the weekend, deputy prime minister and leader of Forza Italia Antonio Tajani stated once again that "a comprehensive debate on the matter is required, but we will not back off".The issue of how to grant citizenship to children born to immigrants has long been at the center of Italian politics. Tajani has called for a review of the current law, dating back to 1992, which makes the process difficult.Under the current rules, individuals who are not born to Italian parents...

Apple
Apple told to pay €13bn in tax by EU
BRUSSELS — Apple has been told to pay €13bn (£11bn; $14bn) in unpaid taxes to Ireland by the European Court of Justice (ECJ).The European Commission accused Ireland of giving Apple illegal tax advantages eight years ago but the Irish government has consistently argued against the need for the tax to be paid.The ECJ said its decision on the matter was final and that "Ireland granted Apple unlawful aid which Ireland is required to recover".The Irish government said it would respect the ruling, while Apple said it was disappointed with the decision and accused the European Commission of "trying to retroactively change the rules".A separate ECJ ruling on Tuesday also brought an end to a long-running case with Google, with the company ordered to pay a fine of €2.4bn...

EU court rules Google must pay €2.4bn fine
BRUSSELS — Europe's top court has ruled Google must pay a €2.4bn (£2bn) fine handed down for abusing the market dominance of its shopping comparison service.The tech giant had appealed against the fine, which was originally levied by the European Commission in 2017.It was at the time the largest penalty the Commission had ever imposed - though it has since been supplanted by a €4.3bn fine, also against Google.Google said it was "disappointed" with the ruling.It brings an end to a long-running case that was first brought by British firm Foundem in 2009, when the UK was still part of the EU.Another of the complainants, shopping comparison site Kelkoo, called the ruling "a win for fair competition and consumer choice" in a post on X.The European Court of Justice...

Germany already has checks on some of its borders
Germany to tighten border controls after stabbing
BERLIN — Germany is set to expand border checks following a knife attack that left three people dead in the town of Solingen in August.The government has come under pressure to take a harder line on immigration since the stabbing, in which the suspect is a Syrian national who was facing deportation after a failed asylum bid.The attack has been claimed by the Islamic State group.The new controls - which will be introduced on 16 September and initially last six months - were announced days after the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) made big gains in local elections.German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser insisted the government was "taking a hard line" against irregular migration, and said the checks would reduce Islamist extremism and cross-border crime."We are...

EU rules out mpox border controls and common vaccination plan
BRUSSELS — There is no need to impose border controls to stave off the risk of mpox, or to initiate bloc-wide inoculation against the virus, the Health Security Committee of the European Commission concluded on Monday following a meeting with the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the European Medicine Agency (EMA).A European Commission spokesperson told Euronews that the Health Security Committee (HSC) agreed that for now, there is no need to update the Opinion on Mpox vaccination from 2022, “nor should this be considered a public health emergency in Europe as things stand.”“The HSC members agreed on the importance of a closely coordinated approach and the need to continue monitoring the situation very closely,” the spokesperson added after the meeting,...

Bayesian was carrying 12 passengers and 10 crew when the boat sank
UK tech tycoon among six missing after yacht sinks
LONDON — British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter are among the six people missing after a luxury yacht sank off the coast of the Italian island of Sicily in the early hours of Monday morning.The 56m (183ft) vessel was carrying 22 people including British, American and Canadian nationals. Fifteen people were rescued, including a one-year-old British girl, and authorities are continuing their search into the night.Local media reported the yacht, named Bayesian, capsized at about 05:00 local time after encountering a heavy storm overnight that caused waterspouts, or rotating columns of air, to appear over the sea.Lynch, known by some as "the British Bill Gates", co-founded software company Autonomy, which was later bought by tech giant Hewlett-Packard for $11bn...

Jean-Luc Mélenchon and other politicians from the LFI party have signed an open letter threatening to start impeachment proceedings against French President Macron
France's left wing threatens Macron with impeachment over PM deadlock
PARIS — France's President Emmanuel Macron is facing renewed political pressure now that the political truce he requested during the Paris Olympics has come to an end.In a column published on Sunday, the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) party threatened legal action against Macron if he failed to appoint a prime minister from the left-wing coalition, the New Popular Front (NFP), in the coming days."We are writing this open letter as a solemn warning," wrote the column's signatories, which include LFI firebrand leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon.Article 68 of the Constitution allows the French parliament to dismiss the president for "failure to fulfil his duties manifestly incompatible with the exercise of the mandate".After Macron called for snap parliamentary elections...

The bridge was the last major crossing in the region, and its destruction means that Russian forces will struggle to get supplies and reinforcements into the area
Last key bridge over Seym River in Russia's Kursk region destroyed by Ukraine
KYIV — Ukraine's forces have destroyed the final bridge over the Seym river located in the village of Karyzh in Russia's Kursk region, according to Russian officials.The bridge is the third one destroyed, after Kyiv damaged the first bridge 16 kilometers northwest of the main battle zone in Kursk in late August, and the second in Zvannoe on Sunday.The bridge was the last major crossing in the region, and its destruction means that Russian forces will struggle to get supplies and reinforcements into an area of about 700 square kilometers.Russian units on the southern side of the river will now be dependent on pontoon bridges, which are vulnerable to Ukrainian attacks.In its latest assessment, Washington-based think tank The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said that Russian...

One dead, six missing after yacht sinks off Italian coast
SICILY — One man has died and six other people are missing after a luxury yacht sank off the coast of Sicily in the early hours of Monday morning.The 56m (183ft) vessel was carrying 22 people - 10 crew and 12 passengers - including British, American and Canadian nationals.Emergency services rescued 15 people, including a one-year-old British girl.Local media reported that the yacht, sailing under the name Bayesian, sank after encountering a heavy storm overnight that caused waterspouts, or rotating columns of air, to appear over the sea.Witnesses told Italian news agency Ansa that the Bayesian’s anchor was down when the storm struck, causing the mast to break and the ship to lose its balance and sink.A waterspout is similar to a tornado and can form over oceans, seas or large...
