Europe’s test of tolerance over Muslim influx Posted: 08 Oct 2015 01:24 PM PDT Europe, which has long had a Muslim minority, was not prepared for this summer's wave of asylum seekers, mainly from Syria. Now with Russian military strikes escalating the war in Syria, Europe anticipates millions more fleeing toward its borders. Germany, which is accepting nearly a million new entrants, is facing a test more severe than its post-cold-war reunification 25 years ago, says President Joachim Gauck. |

Austrian prosecutors want to hand case of 71 dead migrants to Hungary Posted: 08 Oct 2015 12:56 PM PDT Austrian prosecutors want their Hungarian counterparts to take over the case of 71 dead migrants who were found abandoned in a lorry on an Austrian motorway in August, saying their work on the case has more or less been completed. The Austrian prosecutors said that "after the good progress of the investigation into the discovery of the 71 bodies ... the (Austrian) prosecutors' office ... is seeking to focus the entire criminal proceedings in the hands of the Hungarian judiciary." It added: "The collection of evidence in relation to this case in Austria has essentially been finished or is about to." Hungary under Prime Minister Viktor Orban has gained notoriety for its tough treatment of migrants. On Thursday Amnesty International said the European Commission should launch legal action against Budapest to ensure its respect for the rights of refugees and migrants. |

Obama and Congress Playing High-Stakes Poker over War Funding Posted: 08 Oct 2015 02:15 AM PDT In a move steeped in election year politics and growing concern about upheaval and warfare in the Middle East, many Senate Democrats joined with their Republican colleague to pass a $612 billion National Defense Authorization Act despite strong opposition from President Obama. The massive legislation, crafted by Armed Services Committee Chair John McCain (R-AZ) and other defense hawks, provides overall defense policy directives and spending priorities for the Department of Defense for the coming year. While the administration and Republicans clashed on a number of issues, the central argument was over the Republicans efforts to raise the defense spending cap by $38 billion next year without providing comparable new spending for Obama's signature domestic programs. |
