Ex-Chancellor Merkel Slams Berlin’s Border Ban, Warns Europe’s Future at Risk Over Migration Policy

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has issued a stark warning following Germany's new border policies restricting asylum seekers.

Speaking at the Southwestern Press Forum, Merkel criticized the national crackdown led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s cabinet, warning it risks destroying the EU’s unity and the Schengen zone.

Calling for “European solutions,” she reaffirmed her support for EU-level migration policy.

The move marks a sharp break from her 2015 open-door stance and comes amid rising right-wing momentum, legal battles, and mounting pressure on German border forces.

Iran BLASTS Germany For Aiding Israel’s War Crimes, Calls Merz Complicit In ‘Act Of Aggression’

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has launched a blistering verbal offensive against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing Berlin of directly supporting Israel’s “war of aggression” against the Islamic Republic. In a fiery statement posted online, senior Iranian official Esmaeil Baqaei slammed Merz for endorsing what he called “atrocity crimes” and “unprovoked armed attacks” by Israel, claiming it violated the UN Charter’s Article 2(4). Labeling Germany’s position as both “illegal” and “criminal,” Baqaei said Berlin’s support amounts to “complicity in aggression” 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. Iran’s legal framing of Germany’s conduct could escalate diplomatic tensions and spark fierce debates at global forums including the UN and ICJ. #Iran #Germany #Israel #FriedrichMerz #UNCharter #WarCrimes #Tehran #Berlin #InternationalLaw #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #IranIsrael #ChancellorMerz #IranForeignMinistry #Aggression #Complicity #WarOfAggression #UNViolation #NuclearTensions ~HT.318~ED.346~

IAEA Chief Drops BOMBSHELL on Germany’s NUCLEAR WEAPONS Development Programme

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi has triggered global debate by revealing that Germany possesses the materials, technology, and expertise to build a nuclear bomb within months—if it chose to. While Germany remains committed to non-proliferation treaties, Grossi warned that no nation is guided solely by altruism on nuclear matters. German politician Jens Spahn reignited calls for Berlin to access UK or French nuclear deterrents, claiming U.S. nukes on German soil are no longer enough to counter the Russian threat. #GermanyNuclearDebate #IAEA #RafaelGrossi #NuclearWeapons #NonProliferation #EuropeanSecurity #GermanyNuclear #SpahnStatement #NPTTreaty #RussiaThreat #NuclearBomb #AtomicBomb #GermanyUKFrance #NuclearShield #GlobalSecurity #BreakingNews #NuclearCapability #GermanyDefence #MoscowThreat #EuropeanUnion #GermanyNukes #IAEAWarning #GermanyDefensePolicy #PutinThreat #Geopolitics #EUArmsDebate Also Read IAEA Junks Rumours Of Radiation Leak From Any Nuclear Facility In Pakistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iaea-junks-rumours-of-radiation-leak-from-any-nuclear-facility-in-pakistan-4153965.html?ref=DMDesc UN Nuclear Watchdog Chief Rafael Grossi to Visit Moscow Over Ukraine's Nuclear Safety Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/un-nuclear-watchdog-chief-visit-moscow-ukraine-nuclear-safety-011-4062419.html?ref=DMDesc Drone Attack Elevates Nuclear Accident Risk At Zaporizhzhia, Says IAEA Chief :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/drone-attack-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant-risks-011-3794213.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.122~ED.102~

‘X Is Threat To…’ France Launches CRIMINAL PROBE Into Musk’s X Over Hate Speech And Algorithm Bias [Video]

‘X Is Threat To…’ France Launches CRIMINAL PROBE Into Musk’s X Over Hate Speech And Algorithm Bias

France has launched a dramatic criminal investigation into Elon Musk’s 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 platform’s opaque moderation systems. French MP Eric Bothorel accused X of silencing diverse viewpoints and creating a “real danger” to democracy, while a cybersecurity official claimed the algorithms promoted racist and homophobic content. The scandal deepened after Musk’s 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. Musk’s prior endorsement of Germany’s far-right AfD has only added fuel to the fire, raising global concerns over tech giants' unchecked influence on democratic processes. #France #ElonMusk #XPlatform #FreeSpeech #HateSpeech #AI #Grok #Misinformation #AlgorithmBias #TechNews #Macron #Cybersecurity #AfD #EuropeanPolitics #SocialMedia #MuskAI #DigitalRegulation #MediaManipulation #DemocracyThreat #Disinformation Also Read Linda Yaccarino Resigns As CEO Of X After Two Transformative Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/linda-yaccarino-resigns-as-ceo-of-x-after-two-transformative-years-7796371.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk’s Starlink Cleared To Operate In India, Services To Begin Soon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-s-starlink-cleared-to-operate-in-india-services-to-begin-soon-7796229.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.124~

‘We will NOT Give-up’ thunders Merz as he takes on Putin | Urges Trump to arm Ukraine with PATRIOTS

At a high-stakes summit in Rome, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz reaffirmed unwavering European support for Ukraine amid Russia’s escalating airstrikes. Merz issued a direct warning to Putin—“We will not give up”—and urged Donald Trump to maintain transatlantic unity. While Trump approved new weapons, his long-term stance remains unclear. As Kyiv seeks more Patriot systems, Germany considers direct delivery. With 30 nations gathered, the summit focused on rebuilding Ukraine and coordinating air defenses as the war enters a deadlier phase. #MerzInRome #UkraineSupport #GermanyUkraine #PutinWarning #TransatlanticUnity #RomeSummit #Zelensky #TrumpUkraine #PatriotMissiles #RussiaStrikes #KyivDefense #UkraineRebuild #EuropeStandsWithUkraine #GermanySupport #UkraineWar #AirDefense #GlobalSecurity #UkraineAllies #RomeConference #BreakingNews #RussiaUkraine #MerzVsPutin #TrumpMerz #USGermanyRelations #EuropeUnited #UkraineDonors #RebuildUkraine #StopPutin #KyivUnderAttack #DefendUkraine #PutinEscalation Also Read Pakistan Considering German Missile Shield After Chinese Systems Fail Against BrahMos During Op Sindoor :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-considering-german-missile-shield-after-chinese-systems-fail-against-brahmos-during-op-sind-4178853.html?ref=DMDesc Russia May Attack THIS European Country After Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-may-attack-this-european-country-after-ukraine-4176043.html?ref=DMDesc Germany Reaffirms Strong Support for India in Combating Terrorism, Says FM Johann Wadephul :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-supports-india-fight-against-terrorism-011-4175297.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

Trump SLAMS Mexico And EU With SHOCK 30% Tariffs | $1,200 Trade War Burden Falls on U.S. Families

President Trump has announced sweeping 30% tariffs on imports from the European Union and Mexico, igniting fresh trade tensions. Starting August 1, key sectors like auto parts, electronics, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals could see massive price hikes. The EU had hoped for a trade deal, but escalating tariffs now threaten negotiations. With over 60% of U.S. vegetables and 71% of drywall materials coming from Mexico, American households could see grocery and construction costs soar—up to $1,200 more annually. Retaliatory tariffs from affected countries may soon follow. #TrumpTariffs #TradeWar #EUTariffs #MexicoTariffs #USPolitics #TariffShock #AmericaFirst #SupplyChain #ImportCosts #TrumpNews #GlobalTrade #ConsumerPrices #EconomyWatch #TariffImpact #AutoIndustry #GroceryPrices #ConstructionCosts #MexicoExports #EUTensions #USMexicoTrade #EUUSRelations #TariffBacklash #EconomicPolicy #USConsumers #ExportCrisis #GlobalMarkets #TrumpAgenda #PharmaTariffs #AgricultureCosts #TradeTensions #PriceHikes Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc Israel To Send Ceasefire Team To Qatar A Day Before Trump-Netanyahu Meet :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-to-send-ceasefire-team-to-qatar-a-day-before-trump-netanyahu-meet-7792721.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Great American Pilots Very Upset’: Trump Flips Again on Iran Strike Damage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-debates-us-strikes-impact-on-iran-nuclear-programme-011-7783495.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~

Iran's Nuclear Uranium SURVIVED U.S Bombing, Israelis Admit Failure of U.S OP 'Midnight Hammer'

Weeks after Trump boasted of obliterating Iran’s nuclear program, a New York Times report raises major doubts. Israeli officials claim parts of Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile survived U.S. airstrikes in June. The uranium, reportedly buried too deep at Isfahan, may remain intact and inaccessible. While the U.S. says centrifuges were likely destroyed, satellite imagery suggests otherwise. With IAEA inspectors blocked, uncertainty looms. Trump’s “Midnight Hammer” may not have delivered a fatal blow, casting doubt on U.S. intelligence and raising fears about Iran’s nuclear future. #Trump #Iran #NuclearProgram #NYTReport #Isfahan #Uranium #IAEA #MidnightHammer #IranNukes #USMilitary #IsraelIntel #GlobalSecurity #TrumpClaims #EnrichedUranium #IranNuclearCrisis #USStrike #Centrifuges #Fordo #Natanz #WorldNews #MiddleEastTensions #IranUpdate #BunkerBuster #IranNuclear #USIsrael #NuclearThreat #BreakingNews #TrumpVsIran #Geopolitics #SecurityBriefing #IntelligenceLeak Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc Israel To Send Ceasefire Team To Qatar A Day Before Trump-Netanyahu Meet :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-to-send-ceasefire-team-to-qatar-a-day-before-trump-netanyahu-meet-7792721.html?ref=DMDesc Iran To Buy Chinese J-10C Fighter Jets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-to-buy-chinese-j-10c-fighter-jets-7788123.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~

Trump Calls Reporter “Evil” Over Texas Flood Warning Question, Defends FEMA Funding And Abbott

President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter during a Texas flood roundtable, calling the question about lack of early warnings “very evil.” Visiting Central Texas following massive flash floods that left over 100 dead, Trump praised FEMA and Governor Greg Abbott’s response team, pledging swift federal aid. The Texas “Flash Flood Alley” region suffered rapid water surges, catching communities unprepared. Trump claimed “fully funded within minutes” and commended responders. He reiterated that such rapid flooding was unprecedented, dismissing criticisms. Republican Rep. Chip Roy defended him, calling the question “ridiculous.” Trump also avoided answer on future FEMA role. With casualties including at least 27 campers in Kerr County, the event highlighted his administration's partnership with Texas officials. His remarks stirred controversy over leadership tone and disaster preparedness in face of growing climate disasters. #Trump #TexasFloods #FlashFloodAlley #TrumpVsReporter #FEMA #GregAbbott #CrisisResponse #TrumpSlamsReporter #TexasDisaster #FloodWarnings #Evacuation #TexasHillCountry #DisasterFunding #ClimateCrisis #TrumpRoundtable #FloodVictims #KerrCounty #MediaScrutiny #RepublicanDefense #FloodPreparedness ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~
