Tragic death of woman who testified against father in notorious mafia murder of mother (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A woman who testified against her own father after her mother was murdered in a notorious mafia killing in Italy is believed to have taken her own life. Denise Cosco was found critically injured on Sunday and died later in hospital in Rome. Her mother Lea Garofalo, who was killed in 2009, became a powerful symbol of resistance to the mafia after turning witness for the state against the 'Ndrangheta clan in southern Italy. Those close to Cosco recall her bravery in speaking out at her father's tr
Europe targeted by spiralling campaign of sabotage and Russia is the chief suspect (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As summer temperatures in Europe smashed records and many politicians shifted to holiday mode, Russia remained focused on its war. Not only did its military attacks across Ukraine intensify last month, becoming ever more deadly for civilians, Russia also appears to have escalated its sabotage campaign across Europe. This time, military and defence sector sites were the prime target. A full month after drones packed with explosives were found at Leipzig's airport, used by Ukraine to transport mil
Captured Ukrainian-born soldiers tell BBC why they fought for Russia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Western Ukraine, behind high walls and layers of locked gates, there is a camp full of men captured fighting for Russia.

Amongst them are soldiers from Ukraine itself: the men who went to war with their own country. Interviewing prisoners of war is not straightforward: to be

Read excerpt
As Germany investigates how a drone loaded with explosives reached a runway at Leipzig airport, there is renewed talk in Europe of hybrid war. The interior minister is warning of a "new level of danger" from an attack that "may involve foreign powers". There is no proof at this stage to link the flying bomb directly to Russia, which denies any role. But as well as the means and the motive, Moscow does have form. The BBC has seen details of the investigation into a plot in 2024 in which Russian-l
How Spain's migrant crisis created a political storm - whipped up by social media (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most of the tens of thousands of migrants who swam into the Spanish exclave of Ceuta on Thursday have now returned to Morocco, escorted to the border by Spanish soldiers and police. But the extraordinary surge of arrivals has left at least 72 people dead, their bodies pulled from the sea where they floated alongside abandoned rubber rings and flippers. This week's events have also shaken Europe politically, once again exposing divisions over the sensitive issue of migration. And they've left lin
