Eurosphere agenda: “EU migration: Crisis in graphics…
As a Turkish citizen/resident on the south coast of Turkey, I see nothing of the Syrian refugees who are living in the camps along the Syrian border (Report, 5 September). Turkey does not allow them to spread out over the country so that if and when the crisis ends, it can help them return to their own country. They are adequately fed, provided with makeshift shelter and schools. Sunni and Alevi refugees have been resented when placed in communities of the opposite persuasion, and now people, for the first time in Turkey, are segregated on religious lines. This is a potential disaster in itself.
The voluntary system has not provided enough space for refugees in the European Union. François Hollande has blamed this failure on the bad will of certain countries. EurActiv France reports.
Greece and the UN bring in extra staff to deal with some 25,000 migrants on Lesbos, amid warnings that the situation there is getting out of control.
Volunteers share food and drinks with refugees who wait in front of the Berlin Office for Health and Social Affairs (#LaGeSo).

Thousands of farmers took to the streets of Brussels on Monday to protest against plummeting prices for their produce.
At their meeting in Prague on Friday the heads of government of Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia once again rejected a quota system for taking in refugees. This stance is entirely understandable from an economic perspective, some commentators write. Others warn that the European states must finally admit that they too played a part in causing the migrant crisis.
Graphics showing migrant crisis in Europe
Thousands of migrants and refugees have gathered in tents on Lesbos, Greece, in the hope of travelling on to Athens and northern and western Europe.
It’s the photo you couldn’t not see if you were online this week: the body of 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi, who was laid to rest with his brother and mother on Friday. His body was discovered washed up on a Turkish beach in sneakers, blue shorts and a red shirt on Wednesday after the small rubber boat he and his family were travelling in — a desperate attempt to seek asylum in Europe — capsized.
The BBC’s Ben Brown reports on what happens to migrants and refugees in the hours and days after their arrival in Germany.
As thousands cross the border into Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel says her country can cope with an influx of newcomers without raising taxes or jeopardising its budget.
The Australian government has hit back after an editorial in the New York Timesslammed Australia’s handing of the influx of migrants and refugees traveling to its shores and advised Europe not to follow suit
The hostile response of central and eastern European heads of states to the prospect of accepting Syrian refugees is emblematic of a wider problem of democracy and liberalism in these countries.
BERLIN—The scenes of desperate refugees camping out in Budapest in the hope of catching a train to Bavaria are the rerun of an old film. In September 1989, communist Hungary’s reformist government opened the border to Austria, allowing tens of thousands of East Germans to slip through the Iron Curtain to a better life in the West. By November, the ramshackle regime in East Berlin was facing such an exodus of its citizens via third countries that it caved in to the pressure and opened the borders to West Germany.
LONDON—Picking apart the layers of irony and hypocrisy that surround the European refugee crisis is like peeling an onion without a knife. At a train station in southern Moravia, Czech Republic, police pulled 200 refugees off a train and marked numbers on their arms. On its eastern border, Hungary is building a barbed-wire fence to keep out refugees, remarkably like the barbed-wire “iron curtain” that once marked its western border. Choose whatever image you want—ships full of Jews being sent back to Nazi Europe, refugees furtively negotiating with smugglers at a bar in Casablanca—and it now has a modern twist.
Officials agree to let more than a thousand people cross over while Hungary deploys buses to ferry them to the borders.
MAIN FOCUS: Orbán calls refugee crisis Germany’s problem | 04/09/2015
Visiting Brussels on Thursday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán described the refugee crisis as a German and not a European problem. In Budapest, meanwhile, the situation at Keleti train station is escalating. The German government prompted refugees to storm trains by announcing its willingness to take them in, some commentators write. Others believe that with his egoistic policies Orbán will soon isolate himself in the EU.
Jean Asselborn, Luxembourg’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, sharply criticised Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Thursday (3 September) for saying refugees should not come to Europe, and that Muslims are not welcome in Hungary.
The EU must accept up to 200,000 refugees in a “common strategy” to replace its “piecemeal” approach to the migrant crisis, the UN says.
Would-be migrants hoping to flee war in the Middle East are using Facebook as their compass for finding the smugglers they hope will get them to a better life in Europe.
Large groups of refugees and migrants in Hungary are trying to walk to the Austrian border, after defying official efforts to stop them.
First Vice-President of the European Commission Frans Timmermans said what everyone suspected on Friday (4 September): that the refugee crisis overwhelming the EU will last a long time, and that “every single European” will feel its consequences.
Chancellor Angela Merkel says the “breathtaking” flow of migrants will “occupy and change” Germany as France agrees to take in thousands more.
The EU’s external energy security is in Washington’s longterm interest, especially at the time of renewed rivalry between the West and Moscow, writes Jarosław Wiśniewski .
Hundreds of migrants stuck at a Budapest railway station for days have set off on foot, saying they intend to walk to Austria.
Norwegian military personnel will soon be going into action in organic underwear.
The principle of laïcité has become a demagogic tool to reinforce narrow judgements about French identity and discriminate against minorities.

Cyberculture agenda: “Ashley Madison leak 2.0
Have you ever been in a relationship with someone who, over time, forgot the little things that mattered? And, when you purposefully address that he or she doesn’t take you out anymore, that person careens, full-blown, so hard into the other direction that it’s almost too obvious how far they want to address their failures?
Google, the world’s most popular Internet search engine, has been given an extra two weeks to counter European Union charges of abusing its market power in a dozen EU countries and stave off a possible billion-euro fine.
As Swedish prosecutors drop two sexual assault claims against Julian Assange because of time limits, the BBC’s Ben Bland reports on the background to his legal case.
Assange had been accused of four cases of sexual assault, yet the statute of limitations for three of them is now over.
Britain issues formal protest to Ecuadorian Government over its harboring of Julian Assange
The British Ambassador in Quito has said there will be a formal protest submitted to the Ecuadorian Government over its decision to harbor WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in its embassy in London. Assange has been holed up in the embassy since 2012, where he has been avoiding extradition to Sweden over sexual assault allegations dating from 2010, fearing he might be extradited to America and have to face trial over WikiLeak’s releasing of confidential documents. The Swedish case has been formally dropped now as it ran out of time to bring the charges forward, but he could still be facing…

Tinder freaked out on Twitter last night. We asked PR experts about what they could have been thinking.
Earlier this week Tinder, the dating app that is largely known for facilitating casual hook-ups, lost its shit on Twitter over an article in Vanity Fair. And a big part of why you may heard about the Vanity Fair article is for no other reason than because Tinder decided to lose its shit. It’s called the Streisand effect, and it carries with it a big lesson on why sometimes brand management means just shutting the hell up on moving on.
Sometimes we forget about the 40-odd–year Cold War between the former Soviet Union and the West.
Swedish prosecutors will drop their probe into sexual assault allegations against the Wikileaks founder on Thursday, the BBC’s Caroline Hawley reports.
The typical life cycle of any breaking news about a public figure goes like this: the internet flips out, discusses it on Twitter or Facebook, the news shoots up to the top of Reddit or Hacker News and a portion of the Web goes on Wikipedia to update the developing story. Such was the case when it was announced that Sundar Pichai would be taking the role of Google CEO. But it wasn’t his job change that got Wikipedians in an editing frenzy – it was his alma mater. As the seventh largest country in the world, India’s got quite the…
In our modern age of Tinder, OkCupid and Match.com, we’re used to the idea that algorithms can help us find love. But while the algorithms may have improved as the market for online dating has expanded, the inputs — the questions these computer matchmakers ask dating hopefuls — haven’t changed much since the 1960s, when Compatibility Research Inc. launched the first computerized dating service.

How Hillary and the Other Presidential Hopefuls Are Using Snapchat
In the lead up so far to the 2016 election, social media is more influential than ever. In 2012, Mitt Romney barely had an Instagram, and it was only very recently that Obama joined Twitter.
Yesterday, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. and law enforcement officials from Paris, London, and Madrid published an anti-encryption op-ed in the New York Times—an op-ed that amounts to nothing more than a blatant attempt to use fear mongering to further their anti-privacy, anti-security, and anti-constitutional agenda. They want a backdoor. We want security, privacy, and respect for the Fourth Amendment’s guarantee that we be “secure” in our papers. After all, the Founding Fathers were big users of encryption.
So you’re a busy, probably cynical, cold and calculating executive, but you still want to find love? Allow us to introduce you to the TinderBot
