Following the rioting at the stadium in Marseille Uefa has ordered the Russian Football Union to pay a fine of 150,000 euros. The Russian team will be immediately disqualified if its fans cause any more trouble. Can these punitive measures curb the hooligans' violence?

With just a few days to go before the referendum Brexit is increasingly likely, the latest polls show. This scenario is provoking many worried comments in the press.

Latvia's Minister of Health Guntis Belēvičs has stepped down after it emerged that he received preferential treatment in a hospital. He had a number of moles removed by the chief physician at the University Clinic in Riga without having to wait or pay for treatment like normal Latvians do. The Latvian press is outraged.

Nato plans to deploy 4,000 soldiers in the Baltic states and Poland next year.

Is this the right response to Russian aggression?

A search to recover the body of a 2-year-old boy that was snatched by an alligator near a lagoon the  Grand Floridian Resort & Spa hotel in Orlando, Florida.

The child was walking along the hotel’s sandy waterfront area in front of the so-called Seven Seas Lagoon, when the alligator attacked, according to the local County Sheriff. There have never been similar incidents in that area.

There were warning sings against swimming, but apparently not of danger along the beach, on which, there are recreational facilities.

The father apparently wrestled the alligator and sustained minor injuries, but could not get hold of the toddler. The mother too was trying to get hold of the child, but couldn’t.

The family of four was in a vacation from Nebraska, arriving on Sunday.

The Florida Department of Fish and Wildlife is participating in the search.
