Europe's police

Live streaming of child sexual abuse and so-called "revenge porn" is on the rise on the internet, Europe's police agency warned Sept. 28, saying vulnerable children are increasingly falling victim to sexual predators.

Kati Piri, the rapporteur for Turkey at the European Parliament, has said she does not believe visa-free travel for Turkish citizens will be realized in the short term as Turkey will not be able to fulfill the remaining criteria by a July deadline, BBC Turkish has reported.

A senior Turkish official has expressed confidence that Turkey will fulfill the final five criteria after the EU's executive arm said on May 4 that Turkey has met most of the 72 criteria needed for a visa waiver, inviting member states and EU lawmakers to endorse the move by June 30.

The head of Europe's police organisation Europol said on Jan. 13 the continent was facing its greatest security threat in more than a decade, with as many as 5,000 Europeans who have joined fighting in Syria posing a risk to their homelands.
