Newsday

Available for over a year

A new prime minister is expected to be announced in Lebanon to form a new government facing a crippling financial crisis and the aftermath of the Beirut port explosion. As Germany marks five years since it opened its doors to hundreds of thousands of people seeking asylum in Europe, a Greek government minister tells the BBC his country will never again allow hundreds of thousands of migrants to pass through en route to northern Europe.
