Europe confirms its new tough migration policy. While the European Parliament and the European Council have just given their green light to the final EU return regulation that endorses the creation of migrant deportation centers in third countries, some European countries do not want to waste any more time on bureaucratic processes and have gotten to work. Following the lessons of the Italian Giorgia Meloni in Albania, several capitals are grouping into small teams within the Twenty-Seven to probe other countries in Africa, the Balkans, or Central Asia where similar agreements to the one between Rome and Tirana can be created.

Donald Trump sought to exit the war with Iran with a pact before the midterm elections, but his unruly ally, Israel, threatens to blow the agreement to pieces. Benjamin Netanyahu announced early Sunday a new wave of bombings in the southern neighborhoods of Beirut, one of the red lines that the United States had set in the ceasefire signed between the Lebanese and Israeli governments last April 17.

If British politics were a horror movie (and the truth is it often seems like one, even Oscar-worthy), its title would be The Zombie and the Ghost. Because to the famous zombies of Night of the Living Dead, we must add Keir Starmer as the resident of Downing Street (awaiting to be guillotined), and to the famous ghosts like the Phantom of the Opera, Anne Boleyn roaming the Tower of London, the Flying Dutchman, or Abraham Lincoln in the White House, we must now add Peter Mandelson.

President Donald Trump added another medal on Monday by announcing that negotiations between the United States and Iran had resumed, after Tehran announced that they were walking away from the table due to Israel’s attacks in Lebanon. However, in an initial reaction to the Islamic republic, Trump downplayed his claim, saying he had not been informed about it beforehand. “I think it’s fine if they have finished talking,” he replied with apparent indifference.
