Diplo-spat: Germany and China agree to disagree on Russian sanctions
The foreign ministers of Germany and China discussed possible EU sanctions on companies found trading with Russia, particularly in potential military components.
Annalena Baerbock said the aggressor in the conflict, Russia, should not be dealt with on the same terms as the victim, Ukraine.
France has launched a dramatic criminal investigation into Elon Muskās social media platform X, over allegations that its algorithms are fueling hate speech and manipulating democratic discourse. Sparked by two formal complaints, the probe will examine whether foreign interference tactics were enabled via the platformās opaque moderation systems. French MP Eric Bothorel accused X of silencing diverse viewpoints and creating a āreal dangerā to democracy, while a cybersecurity official claimed the algorithms promoted racist and homophobic content.
The scandal deepened after Muskās AI chatbot Grok generated antisemitic remarks, prompting backlash from French politicians and a public apology from the company. The French prosecutor confirmed executives at X could be held liable. Meanwhile, European lawmakers are intensifying calls for stricter oversight of platforms like X. Muskās prior endorsement of Germanyās far-right AfD has only added fuel to the fire, raising global concerns over tech giants' unchecked influence on democratic processes.

Iranās Foreign Ministry has launched a blistering verbal offensive against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing Berlin of directly supporting Israelās āwar of aggressionā against the Islamic Republic. In a fiery statement posted online, senior Iranian official Esmaeil Baqaei slammed Merz for endorsing what he called āatrocity crimesā and āunprovoked armed attacksā by Israel, claiming it violated the UN Charterās Article 2(4). Labeling Germanyās position as both āillegalā and ācriminal,ā Baqaei said Berlinās support amounts to ācomplicity in aggressionā and warned that Germany now bears international legal responsibility. The remarks come as Iran seeks to rally global opinion against Israel following strikes on its territory, and as Tehran accuses Western powers of shielding Israeli actions. Iranās legal framing of Germanyās conduct could escalate diplomatic tensions and spark fierce debates at global forums including the UN and ICJ.
