The German police have shot dead the suspect in a fatal hit-and-run at a Pride event in Berlin on Saturday night that left at least one person dead and twenty-nine injured – some seriously. The Interior Ministry is treating the incident as a terrorist attack and the police had made a large deployment to find the driver, whom they accuse of having links to Islamist circles. "Everything we see here indicates that we are dealing with an Islamist attack," said Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, who has pledged to bring those responsible to justice.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán took centre stage at a European summit which had already had two other uncomfortable topics on its agenda: Turkey and Russia. But in the end the discomfort came from home. Before dinner, the EU-27 ended up discussing with the ultra-conservative the controversial law that aims to ban homosexuality. The debate was heated, according to several sources,and escalated to the point that the always clear and direct Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, invited Hungary to do as the United Kingdom and leave if it does not want to respect the values of the Union. Along with Orbán, however eight Eastern countries, such as Poland and Romania, did not show the same disapproval the rest.
