EU says 'very concerned' about Niger repealing migrant-trafficker law

Description

The EU home affairs commissioner Ylva Johansson expresses concern over Niger's military rulers repealing a law against migrant-trafficking, saying "there is a huge risk that this will cause new deaths in the desert" and that this would mean "more people also trying to cross the Mediterranean today to get to the EU."

  • UK's Starmer warns social media firms to uphold law over misinformation

    At a press conference held at Downing Street after a meeting with police chiefs, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer lays out plans to better target known far-right agitators, including wider deployment of facial recognition technology and criminal behavior orders to restrict their movement. He also warns social media commpanies that they must uphold laws around spreading incendiary misinformation, following unrest blamed on the sharing of unverified details about the Southport knife attack. "It's also a crime and it's happening on your premises," Starmer said of the proliferation of misinformation "whipped up online", which helped spark two nights of violence in English towns and cities after Monday's stabbings.
