The EU's new border system has nearly tripled the time it's taking for Brits to get through passport control even after improvements have been made, a boss at Rome's main airport has said.

It comes as Ryanair has warned passengers travelling to Europe this summer to prepare for extended waits.

Border police at Portugal's Faro airport also told the BBC the Entry Exit System technology suffered from bugs, but insisted any queues there would go down quickly.

Controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been arrested in the US after British authorities announced they were bringing further charges against them.

The UK's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Andrew Tate was being charged with seven further counts of rape, as well as other charges relating to alleged crimes including sex trafficking and child pornography.

But British football content creator Ellis Platten is "not a fan" of some initiatives at this year's World Cup, including the half-time show or the hydration breaks.

The hydration breaks take place 22 minutes into each half and have been used to show adverts on some US networks.

"I get that it's the World Cup final, but it's the most-watched event in the world already and I don't think you need to add these things to it," he

Cracking down on the shadow economy has become a key goal for the Kremlin. Before the VAT rise took effect, Putin warned the new rules must not push firms into the shadows and called for a "radical reduction in illegal employment".

"One arm of the government is trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of people through higher taxes, fines and other charges," Alexander Kolyandr, a non-resident senior fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis, told the BBC.

The airport - with a renovation under way - gets a steady stream of private traffic ferrying the rich to their homes at places like the exclusive Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, about an hour south, where stars like Justin Timberlake and Tom Brady own multi-million-dollar piles.

"Any given day out at our airport, there will be 80 to 100 private jets on the tarmac, primarily Yellowstone Club guests," says Corner.

Washington and Tehran struck a preliminary deal to end the war in June, but the agreement unravelled within a month of its signing.

At least 50 people have been killed and more than 500 injured in US strikes over the past three weeks, Iranian state media reported citing the country's health ministry.

Thousands more have been killed across the Middle East since the US-Israeli war with Iran began on 28 February, official figures show.

Friday marked a seventh consecutive night of US strikes on Iran,

Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok has agreed to step down, signing an amendment to the country's constitution which will end his presidency at midnight on Sunday.

Prime Minister Péter Magyar's Tisza party had steamrolled the law change through parliament to oust Sulyok - widely seen as a loyalist of former prime minister Viktor Orbán who lost power in April after 16 years.

Sulyok had five days to sign the amendment or risk a protracted constitutional crisis and impeachment proceedings.

He confirmed he would agree to the

German centre-right politician Jens Spahn has resigned as parliamentary group leader of the country's governing coalition after being accused of hypocrisy over his use of a surrogate mother in the US to have a child.

Surrogacy is prohibited in Germany - a policy backed by his Christian Democrat party (CDU) and, several years ago, by Spahn himself - although raising a child born to a surrogate mother abroad is not.

He wrote in a statement on Saturday: "I have realised that my personal happiness - founding a family

"Seven people working the night shift died on the spot," governor of the Tambov region Evgeniy Pervyshov wrote on Telegram, adding that 28 drones were also shot down on approach.

He said 25 people had been injured, including seven in serious condition. Most of these injuries were caused by shrapnel wounds, he said.

It was the "largest and most inhumane" attack on Tambov region in terms of the number of drones used and the number of casualties, he said.

Meanwhile, governor of the Moscow
