      Russia’s Putin meets Bosnian Serb leader Dodik, hails rise in trade

      Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik in Moscow on Tuesday and hailed an increase in trade during a meeting that has angered the European Union. In a transcript released by the Kremlin, Putin told Dodik that bilateral trade with Dodik’s Serb Republic region of Bosnia, while relatively small, had increased by 57% last year. “This trend should certainly be maintained,” he said, adding that Russian and Bosnian Serb companies could achieve even better results. Bosnia receives Russian gas via Serbia and Bulgaria. After the meeting with Putin, Dodik told Russian television that the price the Serb Republic paid for gas would remain low but did not give details. Following a devastating ethnic war in…

      Uncontrolled immigration risks unmanageable pressures on schools and hospitals, says Rishi Sunak

      Rishi Sunak will warn that  “uncontrolled” legal migration risks leading to unmanageable pressures on housing, schools and hospitals. In an exclusive article for the Telegraph, the Prime Minister said he was committed to bringing down legal migration because when it was “too high and too fast” it was difficult for new migrants to integrate into communities. It came as the Government announced on Tuesday that all foreign students except those doing postgraduate research will be barred from bringing family members to the UK from January next year, a move that could reduce net migration by as much as 150,000. Figures to be published on Thursday by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) are expected to show net migration – the number entering…

      Facebook owner Meta expected to be hit with record privacy breach fine

      Meta is expected to face a record fine later over its transfer of Facebook’s European user data to US servers, according to reports. Reuters news agency cited two anonymous sources familiar with the matter as saying that the penalty from EU regulators will be higher than the previous record – a €746m (£647m) fine for Amazon over its flouting of EU privacy standards. The regulators, led by Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC), are expected to publish a ruling on Monday morning, which is likely to order that Facebook stop using “complex legal instruments” to move EU data to the US. Concerns have been raised over these trans-Atlantic data flows because they could leave Europeans exposed to the US’s weaker privacy…

      UK Junior doctors’ union announces new three-day strike in June

      The British Medical Association (BMA) said they will strike in England from June 14-17 in a bid to force ministers “to put forward a credible” salary rise. They warned that if the government “doesn’t change their position, we will strike throughout the summer”. A spokesperson for the department of health said it is “both surprising and deeply disappointing” that further action has been declared “while constructive talks were ongoing”. But the BMA said talks “have now reached a stage where they are currently unproductive”. Dr Vivek Trivedi and Dr Robert Laurenson, co-chairs of the BMA Junior Doctors Committee, said: “Accordingly, we are in a position where we must call new industrial action. “We are today announcing that junior doctors in…

      European people trafficker details exactly how migrants are smuggled into UK from Turkey

      More smugglers will fill the void left as existing criminal networks are broken up and arrested, a trafficker has warned. In the second of a series of special reports, the Daily Express details how migrants are brought into Europe from Turkey. But a career people smuggler, Ari, warned the huge police crackdown across the continent will not end the migration crisis, adding, “Tomorrow, if you arrest 100 people, 200 more will come”. The 42-year-old Iraqi Kurdish criminal said “many” smugglers are also trafficking drugs to bolster their already vast profits. But Ari claimed “there is some stuff that if you don’t do it, you won’t get caught”, insisting he has managed to hide in the shadows for 20 years, despite smuggling in…

      Europe’s most active volcano erupts and flights cancelled as ash spewed onto airport

      Planes were grounded and an airport shut last night after Mount Etna erupted. Europe’s most active volcano was spewing a huge dark cloud into the sky on Sunday, raining ash down on Catania, eastern Sicily’s largest city, and forcing a suspension of flights at the city’s airport. No injuries have been reported following the blast, which caused a great plume of molten liquid to fire out of the mountain. Ash was seen raining down and covering cars near the volcano. Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology said that ash had fallen on Catania and at least one town on Mount Etna’s inhabited slopes. People in the towns of Adrano and Biancavilla reported hearing loud booms emanating from the volcano on Sunday, the…
