Iran MPs' vote to suspend IAEA cooperation is 'wrong signal': Berlin
Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul told journalists that Germany "urges the Iranian government not to go down this path".
Wadephul's comments came a day after the vote in Iran's parliament, and following a 12-day war that saw Israeli and US strikes on nuclear facilities.
According to Iranian state TV, parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said the International Atomic Energy Agency "refused to even marginally condemn the attack on Iran's nuclear facilities" and had "put its international credibility up for auction".
The decision of the Iranian parliament still requires the approval of Iran's Guardian Council, a body empowered to vet legislation.
Wadephul also said there were "hopeful signs" of US-Iran talks after President Donald Trump said they would take place next week.
"We are directing all our diplomatic efforts towards finding a binding agreement as soon as possible," Wadephul said, during a joint news conference with his Canadian counterpart Anita Anand.
He added that the so-called E3 grouping of Britain, France and Germany would "play a central role" in any talks and that "Iran expressly wants a European component".

'We only have one exit': Life under blockade in West Bank villages
There are currently nearly 900 movement obstacles in the West Bank, including checkpoints, concrete roadblocks, earthmounds, and, notably, iron gates locked at the entrances to Palestinian villages. The UN's humanitarian agency OCHA recorded 205 of these gates in May 2025, with most being closed or intermittently controlled by the Israeli army. This policy of closure has intensified since the start of the war in Gaza in October 2023, and further, with the Israel-Iran war, making daily life for Palestinians even more challenging. In August 2023, OCHA documented 645 permanent obstacles across the West Bank, including 118 iron gates. In January 2025, the Israeli army erected 18 new gates, obstructing access to major roads from Palestinian urban areas, according to The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission. 'Here, in Ras Karkar, we only have one entry and exit point' The FRANCE 24 Observers team spoke with Hatem Nofal, head of the local emergency commission: The gates are locked. The army moves from the gate of Dar Ammar to that of Khartbatha, and then elsewhere. These are constant patrols. Here, in Ras Karkar, we only have one entry and exit point, with no alternative routes. This road is very difficult and dangerous: the army can shoot, arrest, or leave you stranded for hours in your car. Since the start of the Israel-Iran war, the gates have been completely closed. For instance, there is a total blockade at the Al-Askar gate. Cars cannot pass through. Only pedestrians are allowed to cross on foot. Within a 500-metre radius of Ras Karkar, five gates are closed, including at Ras Karkar, Deir Ammar, and Kharbatha Bani Harith. Residents have to walk between these gates, sometimes as far as 400-500 metres, and then get a car to go to Ramallah or to work. The Palestinian villages of Ras Karkar and Al-Janiya, home to an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 residents combined, are surrounded by seven to nine Israeli settlements. These settlements include Talmon B, Dolev, Nerya, Harsha, Kerem Reim, and Zayit Raanan. The entrance gate to Al-Janiya has been closed for over 15 years, because it is located less than 100 metres from an Israeli settlement. The Israeli army maintains that this close proximity poses a risk of friction with settlers. The only remaining access for Al-Janiya residents is through Ras Karkar, which itself faces severe restrictions. Colonial pressure significantly reduces the buildable land for Palestinians. Nofal says that out of 20 square kilometres, Israeli authorities have authorised only 600 square metres for construction. In late May 2025, Israel announced the legalisation of 22 new outposts in the West Bank. At least two of them – Harsha and Zayit Raanan – directly impact the Ras Karkar region, being both located in the immediate vicinity of the village. Their regularisation tightens the grip around Ras Karkar and intensifies movement restrictions. 'We have four ambulances prepared to be dispatched wherever there's a need' With his group of volunteers, Nofal is working tirelessly to organise the delivery of food to Ras Karkar, as well as the transport of the sick to Ramallah hospital: We've formed an emergency commission to support the population in times of need. In each village, we have groups of 10 to 30 people, depending on its size. We're connected by radio, ready to intervene in any emergency. We have four ambulances prepared to be dispatched wherever there's a need, such as in case of a fire or a medical issue. We work with local councils, Palestinian authorities, and sometimes even with the Israelis to allow the passage of essential goods like food, medicine, gas, and fuel. Getting to Ramallah: an obstacle race The nearest public hospital to Ras Karkar is in Ramallah, located 14 kilometres away. But getting there means walking 400 to 500 metres between several closed gates, then hoping to find a vehicle whenever possible. Before, it would take barely 15 minutes to get to Ramallah hospital. Now, you have to walk between the gates, sometimes for 400 to 500 metres, and then find a car. It takes at least 45 minutes, sometimes longer if the army blocks the road or confiscates car keys. Since vehicles cannot pass through the gates, Nofal says the goods must be transferred from vehicle to vehicle or carried by hand. Residents are at the mercy of the soldiers to allow essential supplies to pass. We transfer food, medicine, and gas by hand, from one gate to another. Sometimes, we have to cross roads reserved for Israeli settlers, which is forbidden for us. The case of Ras Karkar is emblematic of the fragmentation of the West Bank, where 900 obstacles – including over 200 locked iron gates – have been documented, and colonial expansion continues despite international condemnation.

Record crowds expected at Budapest Pride march in defiance of Orban's ban
A record number of people are expected to attend Saturday's Pride march in the Hungarian capital Budapest, defying a ban that marks an unprecedented regression of LGBTQ rights in the European Union. Prime Minister Viktor Orban 's ruling coalition amended laws and the constitution earlier this year to prohibit the annual celebration, justifying his years-long clampdown on LGBTQ rights on "child protection" grounds. While Orban has been emboldened by the anti-diversity offensive of US President Donald Trump, his own initiatives have drawn protests at home and condemnation from the EU and rights groups. The nationalist leader on Friday said that while police would not "break up" the 30th edition of the Pride march, those who took part should be aware of "legal consequences". Despite the risk of a fine, more than 35,000 people are expected to gather at 2:00 pm (1200 GMT) near Budapest's city hall, an hour before the march begins. Ministers from several EU countries, and dozens of European lawmakers are expected to attend in defiance of the ban, reminiscent of that in Moscow in 2006 and Istanbul in 2015. "We're not just standing up for ourselves... If this law isn't overturned, eastern Europe could face a wave of similar measures," Pride organiser Viktoria Radvanyi said. Freshly installed cameras Earlier this week, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen called on the Hungarian authorities to reverse the ban. Thirty-three countries have also spoken up in support of the march. While parade organisers risk up to a year in prison, attendees can face fines up to 500 euros ($580). The latest legal changes empower the authorities to use facial-recognition technology to identify those who take part. Freshly installed cameras have appeared on lamp posts along the planned route of the march. However, opposition Budapest mayor Gergely Karacsony has insisted that no attendee can face any reprisals as the march -- co-organised by the city hall this time -- is a municipal event and does not require police approval. "The police have only one task tomorrow, and it is a serious one: to ensure the safety of Hungarian and European citizens attending the event," Karacsony said during a briefing with visiting EU equalities commissioner Hadja Lahbib. Far-right groups have announced multiple counterprotests along the planned route of the procession. Justice Minister Bence Tuzson this week sent a letter to EU embassies cautioning diplomats and staff against participating because of the police ban.

French senator accused of spiking colleague's drink sent for trial
Two investigating magistrates sent Senator Joel Guerriau for trial for the alleged November 2023 incident, said the source, confirming a report by France 2's Complement d'enquete, an investigative television programme. The judges' report, seen by AFP, says Guerriau, 67, is suspected of having spiked a glass of champagne with ecstasy that his colleague Sandrine Josso, now 49, was drinking. His intention, they alleged, was to rape or sexually assault her. Guerriau will also be tried for possession of drugs. "Joel Guerriau contests the allegations against him," said his lawyers, Henri Carpentier and Marie Roumiantseva. The truth will come in court "far from the caricatures and rumours put about until now", they added. "Mr Guerriau does not fear the truth: he desires it." Josso's lawyer Arnaud Godefroy said she was relieved at the decision, "which reflects the seriousness of her complaint". France's Horizons party, led by former prime minister Edouard Philippe, suspended Guerriau in November 2023 after he was formally charged with drugging Josso as part of a plot to carry out a sexual assault. Guerriau has denied any intention to sexually assault the lawmaker and has rejected the accusation that he deliberately drugged her, describing it as a "handling error". Advertisement The allegations against the senator come months after Frenchman Dominique Pelicot was jailed for 20 years for repeatedly drugging his wife so he and strangers could rape her. The shocking case, involving scores of men, received international coverage after his former wife, Gisele Pelicot, waived her right to anonymity and insisted on a public trial. Earlier this month, the French Senate passed a bill to include lack of consent in the country's criminal definition of rape, paving the way for its official adoption as law. Consent-based rape laws already exist in several European countries including Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden.
