Chinese students in UK told to spy on classmates, report says
LONDON — Chinese students at UK universities are being pressured to spy on their classmates in an attempt to suppress the discussion of issues that are sensitive to the Chinese government, a new report suggests.The UK-China Transparency (UKCT) think tank says its survey of academics in China studies also highlighted reports of Chinese government officials warning lecturers to avoid discussing certain topics in their classes.It comes days after a new law came into force placing more responsibility on universities to uphold academic freedom and free speech.The Chinese embassy in London called the report "groundless and absurd", adding that China respects freedom of speech in the UK and elsewhere.The regulator, the Office for Students (OfS), says freedom of speech and academic...

Young Ukrainians were outside parliament again on Thursday as MPs voted to overturn a controversial law
Young Ukrainians get their way as Zelensky overturns law to defuse crisis
KYIV — As Ukraine's MPs gathered at parliament in Kyiv on Thursday, some held cardboard signs that read, "We are with our people."It was a message to thousands of young protesters who had taken part in the biggest anti-government demonstrations since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion. They were out in force again on Thursday.The MPs then entered parliament, the Rada, and took part in a vote that overwhelmingly overturned a law introduced by President Volodymyr Zelensky last week that curtailed the independence of two key anti-corruption agencies known as Nabu and Sap - the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office.The signs carried by the MPs outside the Rada were a nod to the placards carried by thousands of young...

Diplomatic row between France and Spain escalates after Jewish teens kicked off flight
PARIS — Tensions are escalating between Paris and Madrid following comments by Spanish Transport Minister Oscar Puente in the case involving the removal of a group of French Jewish teenagers from a flight in Spain.The incident occurred on 23 July, when a group of around 40 teens was removed from a plane at Valencia airport.Last Friday, Oscar Puente posted and then later deleted on the social media platform X, criticising Spanish conservative politicians for allegedly failing to back the airline and instead "supporting the Israeli brats."The post quickly drew ire from the French government, which also denounced the behaviour of Spanish law enforcement officers towards one of the group's adult chaperones.Videos on social media showed police holding the female counsellor on...

Burnt cars lie in the street as civilians are evacuated from Pokrovsk, Ukraine, by police on June 19
Russia’s summer offensive is turning into an escalating crisis for Ukraine
POKROVSK, eastern Ukraine — The silent, moonless black is broken only by the whirr above of a Russian drone.Dmytro is yet to receive any patients at his tiny two-bed field hospital near Pokrovsk, and that is not a good outcome any more. Dawn begins to break – the twilight in which evacuation of the wounded from the front lines is safest – but still none arrive, and the enemy drones swirl incessantly above.“We have a very difficult situation with evacuation,” said Dmytro. “Many of the injured have to wait days. For Russian drone pilots, it is an honor for them when they kill medics and the injured.”This night, the frontline wounded do not arrive. The saturation of Moscow’s drone in the skies above – already palpable at this stabilization point 12 kilometers (7 miles) from...

People arriving from North Africa are held in Crete before being moved to the Greek mainland
Greece warns of 'invasion' as it halts asylum on Med route
HERAKLION, Crete — In the center of a sweltering, cavernous hall, rows of men sit in silence with nothing to occupy them but the wait.Signs from an old tourist fair propped up behind them urge visitors to "Explore the Beauty of Nature" with illustrations of coves and beaches in Crete.But those held in the former Ayia exhibition centre did not come to the Greek island as holidaymakers. They are migrants who risked a journey across the sea from Libya to Europe's southern tip and were then detained and denied the right to apply for asylum.From Crete, they are now being moved to closed facilities on the mainland.The right for anyone to request protection, or asylum, is inscribed in EU and international law and in the constitution of Greece itself. But in a move implemented in...
