Finland’s Interior Minister Mari Rantanen, who also oversees migration, criticised Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez’s decision to regularise thousands of undocumented migrants, suggesting it poses a risk to the Schengen area. “I wouldn’t ever suggest acts like that,” the minister told Euronews’ interview programme 12 Minutes With. “The other thing is that, when we are in a common area, the Schengen area, this team Europe that people are talking about, then I think there is a high risk when some countries are doing basically the complete opposite of the other countries,” she added. “Because now, for example, those people are very…

Japanese startup Space One aborted the launch of its Kairos rocket shortly after takeoff from the Spaceport Kii launch site in Wakayama Prefecture. The rocket lifted off before appearing to lose stability in midair and fall, leaving smoke visible in the sky. The Tokyo-based company said it terminated the flight after determining that mission success was unlikely. The launch had aimed to make Space One the first private Japanese company to place a satellite into orbit.
The war in Iran since the end of February has triggered an energy price shock and affected oil, petrol, diesel and gas. The higher costs for consumers and energy-intensive industries such as chemicals and steel are also putting pressure on the German economy — which is already under strain due to less-than-ideal economic forecasts. Now the euro, currently valued at around $1.16 — is also suffering. The euro could be hit particularly hard if the scenario of the Iran war lasting significantly longer than the “four weeks” announced by the US president materialises. Economist Daniel Stelter warns that “an already…

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has ordered tighter border controls on foreign nationals in the wake of the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, as he increasingly frames security issues as a central pillar of his electoral campaign. Orbán has argued that the armed conflict in the Middle East poses risks to Hungary in terms of energy prices and national security. Analysts say his security-provider narrative could prove advantageous in the run-up to the vote. At the same time, Orbán has escalated a dispute with Ukraine over the Druzhba pipeline, a critical artery for Hungary’s energy supply. The pipeline was struck in…

European stock markets turned early gains into losses by early afternoon, following a rally in Asian markets, as investors searched for direction nearly a week after the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran that sent global markets on a rollercoaster. By 2 p.m. CET, Germany’s DAX was down by 0.2%, similar to the CAC 40 in Paris and Britain’s FTSE 100. Madrid’s IBEX stood out by gaining 0.3% as the European benchmark European Stoxx 600 was down by a few points. Before noon, European trading followed strong gains in Asia, where South Korea’s Kospi jumped by more than…
Without the president’s pressure, Russia is unlikely to come to the negotiating table to strike a peace deal with Ukraine; without American-made weapons, Ukraine will be in danger of defeat on the battlefield anyway. A European diplomat from another country said they hoped more EU leaders would follow Spain’s example. “If we want international law, rule-based order and any form of multilateralism to prevail, we must be able to express worry about the American actions,” the diplomat said. “What will our leverage be for Putin’s war in Ukraine if Europe cannot express any objections over the U.S. war on Iran? We…
Bodies of Iranian sailors killed in the sinking of the warship IRIS Dena were brought to the Karapitiya Hospital mortuary in Galle, Sri Lanka. Health workers unloaded bodies from trucks and carried them into the facility as authorities managed the aftermath of the incident.

Sri Lanka’s navy said at least 87 sailors were killed and dozens remain missing following the attack. Survivors rescued at sea were taken to hospitals in the region for treatment…
