a) Iran has assessed options for attacking US military assets in Europe should the US escalate its confrontation with Tehran, according to people close to the Iranian regime cited by the Financial Times.

b) Rome clashes with Berlin over German NGOs helping Illeg@l Migration

Italy argues that Germany demands that Italy assume responsibility because it was the first European country of entry, while German organisations such as Sea-Watch, Sea-Eye, SOS Humanity and Mission Lifeline have spent years carrying out operations in the central Mediterranean and subsequently disembarking those they rescue at Italian ports.

c) ‘I have trouble behaving around girls’ – Palestinian migrant convicted for sexually assaulting 15-year-old French girl on a bus While testifying in court, Ahmed said he was attracted to her “at first sight.”

Mykhailo Fedorov, dismissed as defence minister in July, has called on the country to find a way to return to the ballot box even while the war continues.

e) Former Fauci adviser pleads guilty to concealing documents on Covid origins.
