Kremlin says Armenia remains in CSTO with fewer rights

Armenia remains a CSTO member but has lost voting and senior appointment rights in the alliance, according to Russia’s presidential spokesperson. Belgian lawmakers approved a procedure allowing police to detain people and search for identity documents in homes, including homes hosting undocumented people. Armenia’s president signed the TRIPP framework ratification law, while founding documents for its planned jointly owned development company still require agreement.

Belgium’s parliament approves immigration home-entry law

Belgian lawmakers approved a procedure allowing police to detain people and search for identity documents in homes, including those of friends or relatives hosting undocumented people. Officials say it targets people denied asylum who have ignored orders to leave and are considered a security or public-order threat.

Hoax threats reach at least 1,000 Scottish schools

At least 1,000 Scottish schools received hoax threats, prompting precautionary evacuations, while police and education officials advised schools to continue operating. Investigators are working to identify the sender, and Northern Ireland’s Education Authority plans a further update after speaking with police. The BBC reported that more than 700 schools across Scotland and Northern Ireland received bomb threats, a combined count not directly comparable with the earlier Scotland-only figure. Italian officials said a bomb-threat email appeared to have been sent to 6,300 state schools; hundreds were reported to have been evacuated, and any connection to the UK threats remains unclear.
