Council of Europe lifted immunity for ex-leader over Epstein ties

The Council of Europe today lifted diplomatic immunity for its former secretary general, Thorbjorn Jagland, who is being investigated for his ties to US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Norwegian police announced they had opened a probe into “aggravated corruption” against the Jagland, who is also a former prime minister of Norway.

Jagland had immunity for heading the Council, Europe’s watchdog for democracy and human rights, for acts carried out during his tenure, which ran from 2009 to 2019.

Removing his immunity would “allow the Norwegian justice system to do its work and Mr Jagland, if prosecuted, to defend himself”, said the Council’s current secretary general, Alain Berset in a statement.

EU Court of Auditors sees ‘systemic weaknesses’ in €650 bn Covid fund fraud detection

Despite attempts by the European Commission to tackle fraud in its €650 billion Covid recovery fund, the current situation still has too many gaps and shows “systemic weakness”, the European Court of Auditors (ECA) said in its special report.

The European watchdog has highlighted serious issues with fraud detection in the Recovery and Resilience Facility. There are still major weaknesses in how fraud is reported and corrected, and gaps in the rules make the system vulnerable to abuse.

The Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), launched in 2021 to help European Union countries recover from the pandemic, has faced persistent issues since its inception.

A lawsuit against Meta and YouTube has begun in the US

20-year-old Kaylee accuses social networks of creating addictive features that led to her mental health problems, including anxiety and suicidal thoughts. The plaintiff's lawyer called social media “digital casinos,” arguing that their features — “endless scrolling” and “likes” — contribute to addiction.

The defense argues that Kaylee's problems were related to her difficult childhood. Tech companies say they have implemented safety features, but the process could lead to billions in payouts and changes to social media interfaces. Investigations are also underway in other countries, such as against TikTok in the EU.

Trump’s about to cancel Obama’s most outrageous power grab

President Donald Trump is on the brink of ordering a massive policy shakeup — “the largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States,” says Environmental Protection Agency chief Lee Zeldin.

When Trump’s EPA orders the end of a 2009 finding that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide are a threat to public health, it will halt 16 years of federal efforts to mandate vast changes in American life without legal justification. The so-called Endangerment Finding led to a host of regulations whose estimated costs exceeded a trillion dollars.

The new nations of immigrants in Europe

When non-Americans think about the United States and immigration, they are inevitably reminded of the title of John F. Kennedy’s 1958 book A Nation of Immigrants.

Indeed, the history of America is closely intertwined with migration, which has fundamentally and repeatedly reshaped the demographic and political make-up of the country.

Equally intertwined is the debate over migration, which continues to dominate public discussion in the United States –as evidenced by President Trump’s re-election on the cornerstone issue of illegal immigration.

Europe, on the other hand, is often thought of as a collection of homogeneous nation-states. Despite the obvious increase of immigrants, European immigration levels are rarely compared to the transformative nature of America’s, which would turn European countries into ‘nations of immigrants.’

Even when talking to those deeply opposed to immigration, the comparison between European and American immigration is often considered an exaggeration.

Dem demands for ICE to obtain judicial warrants could bring immigration enforcement to a near 'halt'

The agency’s enforcement capacity could drop by 90%, one scholar estimates

The policy would restrict ICE’s ability to rely on administrative warrants, which are authorized under the Immigration and Nationality Act and issued by senior agency officials after determining probable cause. They allow federal authorities to arrest immigrants illegally residing in the country—a civil violation—and carry out enforcement actions, including deportations. By contrast, judicial warrants require a judge’s signature and are typically only issued if an illegal immigrant has committed a separate federal criminal offense.

The Democrats don't want ICE to be able to do their job. They have called to defund ICE, abolish ICE, and so this is just another attempt to get at that end and pretty much bring ICE enforcement and removal to a halt.

UC Santa Cruz ethnic studies department distributed stoles with Palestinian flag and Keffiyeh designs at graduation ceremony

The ceremony is one example of how the University of California system has created 'conditions that can predictably produce hostility, exclusion, and targeting' of Jewish students

A University of California, Santa Cruz, department bestowed students with graduation stoles featuring Palestinian flags and keffiyehs—headdresses often worn by Palestinian terrorists—during an official graduation event last June, according to previously unreported photos.

UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting has backed the launch of new trials of puberty blockers for children

Puberty blockers are drugs that temporarily slow down or stop the process of growing up in children. This helps prevent changes in the body associated with puberty, such as hair growth or voice mutation.

These drugs are often used in cases where a child is unsure of their sexual orientation. In this way, the authorities want to support sex reassignment surgery.

The trials will be conducted on more than 200 children under the age of 16. For participating in the study, they will receive vouchers worth £500, which can be spent in various stores throughout the UK.

Canada and the European Union are also supporters of such initiatives. Above is a video from a Canadian children's television channel with millions of viewers, openly promoting transgenderism to children.

U.S. need 300 F-47s and 200 B-21s

The report, entitled “Strategic Attack: Maintaining the Air Force’s Capacity to Deny Enemy Sanctuaries” and released today by the Mitchell Institute, says the Air Force needs hundreds of F-47 fighter jets and B-21 bombers — at least 300 and 200, respectively — to maintain U.S. air superiority, and to penetrate China’s advanced defenses to deny it sanctuary territory in case it attacks Taiwan.

But increased production of these systems, which are not yet in service, would deliver major financial gains to the defense contractors that financially support the Mitchell Institute, which in turn routinely pushes for increased defense procurement and larger Air Force budgets.

US flags alleged China-linked NGOs amid growing influence battle with Beijing

The US State Department has transmitted a report to Congress alleging that several US-based non-profit organisations may be linked, directly or indirectly, to Chinese influence operations.

Placing the issue within the broader strategic rivalry between Washington and Beijing, the report, titled Countering Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference, identifies Code Pink and the People’s Forum among groups it says have promoted narratives aligned with positions advanced by the Chinese Government.

New recommendations for schools from Starmer's party: they allow children to make a ‘full social transition’ to the opposite gender from the age of four.

Labour is set to scrap a rule prohibiting primary schools from changing pupils' pronouns, writes the Daily Mail. The Department for Education's guidance on working with children who are ‘questioning their gender’ is currently under discussion. It will then be enshrined in law, the article says.

Germany rebels against AI data centers

Germany is increasingly rebelling against multi-billion-euro data centers, reflecting a trend seen in other Western countries. This time, Groß-Gerau, a town outside of the mega internet hub of Frankfurt, is the latest to reject the construction of a major data center over fears of rising power costs, diminished water and environmental resources, ugly aesthetics, and skepticism over job creation.

Major U.S. investors were behind the push to build the 174-megawatt data center, but local residents and politicians have successfully stopped construction of the five-building complex, which represented €2.5 billion in investment.

How to boost French birth rate?

The French government wants to combat the decline in birth rates but has opted for disastrous communication.

To boost the birth rate, which has reached dramatically low levels in France, the government came up with the strange idea of sending a letter to all French citizens aged 29, offering them some advice.

This curious exercise proves one thing above all: that Emmanuel Macron and his teams clearly understand nothing about family or birth rates.

France, which has long prided itself on being an exception in terms of fertility, has now entered the same demographic winter as its neighbours.

In 2025, the fertility rate stood at 1.56 children per woman, the lowest level since the end of the First World War—at a time when the collapse in the birth rate was for reasons that were easy to understand.

Beijing: Washington is fabricating excuses to restart nuclear testing

The United States’ top nuclear arms has accused China of carrying out an undisclosed nuclear detonation in 2020, arguing that recent secretive underground tests by China and Russia have given Washington reason to conduct 'parallel steps' as a decades-long moratorium on nuclear testing among major powers is unraveling.

DiNanno then alleged that "yield-producing tests" were conducted on June 22, 2020 in a highly unusual accusation given the precision and specificity of it, even down to the day.

In Slovakia debate rages over transfer of inoperable military equipment to Ukraine

The Slovak Ministry of Defense is appealing the decision of the Bratislava District Prosecutor’s Office, which terminated the proceedings against the transfer of MiG-29 fighter jets and the S-300 air defense system to Ukraine. The government coalition says the prosecutor’s office is wrong in maintaining that the donation to Ukraine was legal and justified.

The Slovak Defense Ministry’s State Secretary announced that they will initiate a review of the prosecutor’s decision, reports InfoStart. According to Igor Melicher, the reasoning is contradictory and carries a dangerous message that anything can be done with political connections without consequences.

Judge frees three illegal-immigrant murderers from detention

Judge John W. deGravelles, an Obama appointee to the court in Louisiana, ordered each of them released, saying they’ve been held too long and there’s no imminent likelihood that their home countries of Cuba and Ethiopia will take them back.

The U.S. government says it’s searching for other nations to take them, but Judge deGravelles said that’s too speculative right now to keep them in detention.
