From Russia Today, French President Macron is "shamelessly peddling war opportunities over Syria".

From Ekathimerini, smugglers trafficking illegal aliens undocumented migrants out of Greece shift their operations to the Peloponnese.  (Looks like I'm not the only one who has noticed that the migrants are being trafficked.)
