00:00A Berlin court has ruled that the rejection of asylum seekers is unlawful, dealing a major

00:06blow to Chancellor Friedrich Merz's immigration policy.

00:11Syria's stock exchange has resumed trading after being closed for six months in the run-up

00:16to the ouster of long-time President Bashar al-Assad.

00:22A court in Berlin ruled that the rejection of asylum seekers at borders is unlawful,

00:26dealing a major blow to Chancellor Friedrich Merz's immigration policy.

00:31The court ruled after considering appeals from three Somali nationals who sought asylum but

00:36were turned away after arriving by train from Poland.

00:39In this individual decision, it is about three Somaliers who have already tried the German

00:50on Poland towards Germany to overquered, were returned to this time.

00:58They have to this point no asylum for asylum for said.

01:03Ferner since they were then on May 3rd.

01:06They were then again at the German border, were returned to this point.

01:13The court says at least one of the foreign nationals had valid evidence of vulnerability.

01:31It added that the Mertz government was in violation of asylum laws by not examining the applications.

01:37It also noted that the new federal government was violating the EU's Dublin immigration system.

01:44Dobrindt, however, insisted that the government's immigration initiatives will not change.

01:50We hold on to the statements.

01:53We see that the legal law is there and we will continue to do this, regardless of this individual decision.

02:03Mertz had vowed in his campaign trail to crack down on immigration.

02:09In May, his conservative government unveiled new measures which seek to impose a blanket ban on asylum applications.

02:20Direct peace talks between Russia and Ukraine ended after just over an hour in Istanbul,

02:27as delegations met for the second time in around two weeks.

02:33Neither President Zelensky nor Putin attended the talks.

02:38Both had sent delegations with memoranda outlining their terms.

02:43Speaking in Vilnius, Lithuania, Zelensky said both sides exchanged documents through the Turkish side

02:50and are now preparing a new release of prisoners of war.

02:54Expectations for a breakthrough in ending the three-year-old war were low,

02:59and recent statements by senior officials from both countries suggested they remain deeply divided on key conditions.

03:06President Zelensky is calling for a conclusive ceasefire,

03:12the release of prisoners and the return of abducted children.

03:15Terms, he insists, must carry consequences for Russia if they are not met.

03:21Russia has not yet definitively outlined its terms.

03:24But Putin has previously demanded Ukraine withdraw from Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia and Kherson,

03:30four regions Russia illegally annexed in 2022 but has never fully controlled.

03:37This was rejected by Kyiv and its allies.

03:41The talks come against the backdrop of a recent escalation in fighting on both sides,

03:47with Ukraine launching a surprise attack on four Russian air bases,

03:51and Russia carrying out the largest-scale drone assault on Ukraine yet on Sunday.

03:56Trading has resumed on the Damascus Securities Exchange after a six-month-long break.

04:06It was closed from early December in the chaotic days of a surprise rebellion

04:10that led to the ouster of former longtime president Bashar al-Assad.

04:14But now, Syria's new leadership is looking to shore up the country's battered economy

04:19and begin rebuilding after almost 14 years of civil war.

04:23The move to reopen comes as international restrictions on Syria's financial systems are beginning to ease.

04:50U.S. President Donald Trump was the first to announce the lifting of sanctions on Syria

04:56in a visit to Riyadh in May during his tour of the Middle East.

05:00The U.K. and EU also followed suit and eased restrictions and lifted sanctions

05:04in a bid to give the country a chance at recovery and rebuilding.

05:09Last week, Syria also signed a mega 6.1 billion euro deal

05:13with a consortium of Qatari, U.S. and Turkish energy companies.

05:17The deal will see these companies champion various energy projects

05:22that are expected to supply the country with more than half of its electricity needs.

05:26Poland's National Electoral Commission has confirmed Karol Nawrowski

05:34as the winner of the presidential election, narrowly defeating Rafał Trzaskowski.

05:40The result highlights a divided society and raises concerns over future political stability.

05:48Outgoing President Andrzej Duda called the vote a message to Prime Minister Tusk.

05:54The President and the President of the United States.

05:55Raczej dwie strony są po dwóch stronach barykady,

05:58ale Nawrowski jest wielko niewiadomo, także nikt nie wie.

06:01Musimy ochłonąć najpierw, czy to w ogóle jest możliwe jakieś ułożenie.

06:05Mam nadzieję, że jednak mądrość wygra i w jakiś sposób te relacje się ułożą

06:11i ten naród nie będzie taki podzielony, jaki jest w tej chwili.

06:14Nie ma porozumienia między rządem a prezydentem.

06:18Są dwa różne światy.

06:21Świat polski i świat niemiecki.

06:24Ma wartości religijne i to jest bokser.

06:28A bokser będzie boksował.

06:30Wygląda na to, jakby nowy prezydent Nawrowski był wybrany prawie na życzenie,

06:35po to, żeby koalicja przez następne pięć lat mogła się skarżyć,

06:39jak nie mogą niczego załatwić, by prezydent im zamyka drzwi przed nosem.

06:43Nie jestem Polakiem, ale myślę, że sytuacja jest bardzo źła i to będzie super ciężko.

06:49Donald Tusk has announced plans to renegotiate the coalition deal

06:54and reshuffle his government.

07:00Results of a government probe into Sweden's adoption practices

07:04prompted its lead investigator on Monday to call for a halt to all international adoptions.

07:09According to the adoption commission, the Swedish state must acknowledge violations of human rights

07:15and formally apologize to adoptees and their families.

07:18It also proposed that Sweden introduced long-term support for victims.

07:22När det gäller den framtida internationella adoptionsverksamheten

07:27så är mitt förslag att verksamheten med att förmedla barn för adoption till Sverige avvecklas.

07:37Den internationella adoptionsverksamheten har syftat till att erbjuda föräldralösa barn

07:45i andra delar av världen, föräldrar och en kärleksfull familj.

07:52Men frågor har väckts om huruvida oegentligheter skett.

07:58Och därför hoppas jag att kommissionens utredning ger svar på

08:04eller är det ett första steg mot att ge svar på de här frågorna.

08:11During the probe, investigators said they discovered confirmed cases of child trafficking

08:16and illegal adoptions in every decade from the 1970s to the 2000s.

08:20The report makes Sweden the latest country to examine its international adoption policies

08:25after allegations of unethical practices.

08:28EU commissioner says anyone who wants to join in solidarity with the LGBTQ community in Hungary

08:36should do so.

08:38Commissioner Jessica Roswell, EU commissioner for the environment,

08:41was responding to the Hungarian government's decision to ban the gay pride parade.

08:46The decision has been heavily condemned by a majority of EU member states,

08:50including France, Germany and Spain.

08:53So, EU is built on values, which of course we all stand behind,

08:58and this is the pressure we are in this union.

09:01One of the key things is it's built on this precious value of people's freedom,

09:05loving whoever they want to, or rule of law and all these things.

09:10So I stand, of course, behind that, and I have myself been into many prides,

09:15only in Stockholm, though, and also my small town in Shipping, where I live.

09:20Meanwhile, the commissioner of justice and rule of law, Michael McGrath,

09:23has called freedom of assembly a fundamental right that must be protected.

09:28He insisted that this is not a threat to children,

09:30which is what the Hungarian parliament has argued on the base of the child protection law.

09:35As for Roswell, she does not want to make decisions for others,

09:38but says that this is at the center of her beliefs in the European Union.

09:41I don't tell people what to do, but that's what I truly believe in,

09:45and that is also the core of this European Union.

09:47The parade is set to take place on June 28,

09:50with some MEPs confirming their presence,

09:52but so far no commissioners have done the same.

09:57Germany's former foreign minister, Anna-Lenna Baerbock,

10:01was appointed president of the United Nations General Assembly on Monday,

10:05following an election in which she ran unopposed.

10:09Baerbock, who was elected to the position with a simple majority,

10:13will fill the top job at the assembly,

10:14a role of primarily ceremonial significance.

10:18The role, which she will hold for one year,

10:21largely involves organizing plenary sessions among the UN's 193 represented countries.

10:28Russia, which was opposed to Baerbock's nomination,

10:31asked for a secret ballot on Monday,

10:33but the vote was conceded a formality in the run-up to her election.

10:38Baerbock will be inaugurated on the 9th of September,

10:41shortly before the UN General Assembly holds its general debate.

10:50Europe's largest active volcano, Mount Etna,

10:53located on the Italian island of Sicily, has erupted.

10:57Large plumes of smoke could be seen rising kilometers high above the volcano.

11:01The eruption occurred after parts of Mount Etna's southeastern crater collapsed,

11:06resulting in hot lava flows,

11:07according to the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology.

11:12The agency says the spectacle was the 14th eruptive phase of the volcano in recent months.

11:18A volcanic tremor was first detected in the early hours of Monday.

11:23Multiple explosions, known as trombolion eruptions, followed for several hours.

11:28No deaths or injuries were reported in the eruptions,

11:31and officials say there is presently no immediate danger to people.

11:35Mount Etna erupts several times a year,

11:38and its activity is closely monitored due to its proximity to populated areas and high tourist attraction.
