Migrants stranded in Cyprus buffer zone as asylum applications suspended

Fourteen migrants are stranded in the buffer zone near the University of Cyprus campus in Aglantzia, unable to enter government-controlled areas due to the temporary suspension of asylum applications by the Republic of Cyprus. The group includes women and children from Afghanistan, Sudan, Cameroon, and Iran, with assistance being provided by the UNFICYP and UNHCR. Patrols have been increased along the buffer zone to deter migrant arrivals, resulting in a 95% decrease in arrivals by boat from Syria. Pushbacks in Lebanese waters have contributed to this decrease, but the Mediterranean crossing remains the deadliest route for migrants. The U.N. human rights office has reported gross human rights violations faced by Syrian refugees returning to Syria, including torture, abduction, sexual harassment, and violence. Pushbacks are measures used by states to force refugees and migrants out of their territory, circumventing international protection safeguards.

Who is Stormy Daniels, the porn star at the center of Trump’s criminal conviction?

Stormy Daniels testified that Donald Trump told her in 2006 that having sex with him was the only way she would get out of the “trailer park.” She later testified against Trump in a criminal case where he was found guilty of covering up a payment to her for her silence about their alleged sexual encounter. Daniels detailed the encounter, stating she did not remember how she got into bed with Trump but did not enjoy the sex. Despite the publicity and benefits she gained from the story, Daniels’ testimony was ultimately seen as tangential to the case.
