WARSAW: Poland's prime minister came under heavy fire for appearing to defend her rightwing government's anti-migrant policy during a memorial service at the former Auschwitz-Birkenau Nazi German death camp. Beata Szydlo said that "in our troubled times, Auschwitz is a great lesson that everything must be done to defend the safety and the lives of citizens" at ceremonies marking the77th anniversary of the Nazis' first transport of Polish prisoners to the camp. Her comment came one day after the EU launched legal action against Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic for refusing to take in their share of refugees under the bloc's controversial solidarity plan. Polish government spokesman Rafal Bochenek said Tuesday that the refugee relocation plan posed a security "threat" to EU members, echoing earlier fiery rhetoric by Szydlo linking refugees and migrants with terror attacks in Europe. European Council President Donald Tusk, a

former Polish prime minister, shot back on Twitter on Wednesday saying that "such words should never be spoken at such a place by a Polish prime minister." Katarzyna Lubnauer, head of the centrist Nowoczesna (Modern) parliamentary caucus, was more explicit, accusing Szydlo of "exploiting the cruelty of Auschwitz to make Poles fear refugees."

WASHINGTON: Top US Republican lawmaker Steve Scalise continued to show improvement as he recovers from being shot by a gunman angry about President Donald Trump, the hospital treating him said Saturday.Scalise and three other people were shot early Wednesday at a parkin suburban Washington as they practiced for a congressional charity baseball game. The 51-year-old from the southern state of Louisiana was hit in the lefthip by a bullet from a high-velocity rifle. The round fragmented into hundreds of pieces and tore apart bones, internal organs and blood vessels, Jack Sava, director of trauma at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, has said. Scalise, the number three Republican in the House of Representatives, arrived at the hospital in a critical state, facing "an imminent risk of death," according to Sava. Scalise underwent another surgery on Saturday and "continues to show signs of improvement," MedStar Washington Hospital Center said in astatement. "He is more responsive, and is speaking with his loved ones," the hospital said, adding that he had been downgraded to "serious" condition. The gunman, 66-year-old James T. Hodgkinson of Belleville, Illinois,was shot and killed by responding officers.

BEIRUT: Russia said Friday it was verifying whether it had killed the leader of the Islamic State group in an airstrike targeting a meeting of IS leaders just outside the group's de facto capital in Syria, dealing a potentially severe blow to the extremist group as it fights to hang onto its strongholds in Syria and Iraq. The Russian Defense Ministry claimed that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed in a Russian strike in late May along with other senior group commanders, adding that the information about his death was still "being verified through various channels." As the militants take a pounding in their eroding strongholds, US officials and Syrian activists say many commanders have fled Mosul and Raqqa in recent months for Mayadeen, a remote town in the heart of Syria's IS-controlled, Euphrates River valley near the Iraqi border.

"Tora Bora has fallen into the hands of IS fighters," government spokesman Attaullah Khogyani said. "Afghan troops last night launched an operation to take it back from IS."
