Several people killed in Austria school shooting
Several people were killed at a school in the Austrian city of Graz on Tuesday, authorities said.
Police said they went to the school after shots were heard there. A meeting point has been set up for parents of pupils who have been evacuated.
The Interior Ministry said there were several fatalities but did not say how many. There was also no information on any injuries.
The Kronen Zeitung newspaper said eight people had been killed.
The suspected attacker was dead, Austrian broadcaster ORF quoted the Interior Ministry as saying.
"Currently, a police operation is under way. The reason for the deployment was that gunshots were heard in the building," police said on X.
Special forces were also sent to the BORG Dreierschutzengasse high school after a call at 10am. Police said about an hour later that the operation was still in progress and that it involved a helicopter.
Graz, Austria's second-biggest city, has about 300,000 residents.

France plans social media ban for children as UK mulls time limits
French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to ban social media for under-15s in France and introduce age verification for websites selling knives, as leaders across Europe seek to impose restrictions to protect children from harmful content online. Speaking in the wake of the stabbing of a schoolteacher in Nogent by a 14-year old pupil on Tuesday, Mr Macron wrote on X: 'I'm banning social media for children under 15. Platforms have the ability to verify age. Let's do it." Mr Macron told France 2 that the country 'cannot wait' for the European Union to act on proposals to limit the amount of time teenagers spend online. He said that France could proceed alone 'in the coming months' if progress isn't made at the EU level. He also announced that age verification will soon be imposed in France on sites selling knives online, similar to measures that currently apply to pornographic sites. "A 15-year-old will no longer be able to buy a knife online. That means we're going to impose massive financial sanctions and bans," he said. In March, French police started random searches for knives and other weapons concealed in bags in and around schools. A new French law forcing pornography websites to impose age verification came into effect last week, prompting key websites to start blocking French users. Demand for private network services, which conceal the user's location, surged in response. French authorities are also attempting to force social media sites including X, Reddit, Bluesky and Mastodon to introduce age verification. It comes as the UK juggles a newly launched national skills drive for young people to be trained in AI, with attempts to limit social media and smartphone use to protect children from harmful online content. Technology secretary Peter Kyle said last week that the government was looking at restrictions, such as a two-hour social media cap and a 10pm curfew. Campaigners say that more pressure should be put on social media companies to remove harmful content that gets recommended to children. Elizabeth Clutton, a computer scientist and researcher at the University of Portsmouth, said the possible restrictions were 'fair' given the evidence of a mental health crisis in children being fuelled by social media use. It was still compatible younger generations learning to use AI systems, after Mr Starmer unveiled the new AI skills drive for young people at London Tech Week. 'You have to look at the impact that peer pressure has, which is a big driving force on the mental health problem that these kids are having,' she told The National during the Tech week conference. 'It will help parents as well. If you set it as a blanket rule, there's no peer pressure. The scientific evidence is it's harmful. I do think people need that framework of support when it comes to younger generations.'

'This isn't real': Teacher's narrow escape from Austria school shooter
A teacher told AFP Wednesday how he found himself in a corridor with the shooter who killed 10 people in an Austrian school as he fled his empty classroom. Religion teacher Paul G. Nitsche was working on his own with the door open on the upper floor of the Dreierschuetzengasse secondary school in Graz when the shooting started. "I heard this bang. And I blocked it out," the 51-year-old told reporters, whose students were elsewhere sitting their final year exams. It was only when he heard the sound of bullet casings hitting the floor of a corridor outside, that "something snapped inside me" and the realisation dawned, he said. "I jumped up and thought, that as a teacher alone in a classroom with a possible attacker, this is a very bad situation. "And I decided to run. "I ran out quickly through the corridor, which is only a few metres long, and then down the stairs." It was then that the evangelical pastor saw the shooter in the corridor of the floor below. The sight of him stopped him in his tracks "for a moment". 'You try to block everything out' "He was trying to shoot the door (of a classroom) open with his rifle. "He was busy.... and I didn't look around much either... I didn't hang around," Nitsche said. "And as I ran down the stairs, I thought to myself, 'This isn't real, this is a film.'" But when he got to the lower floor "I saw a student lying on the floor and a teacher was there, and I knew, 'Ah, this is serious.'" "As a human being, you really try (to understand what is happening), I know that from my crisis training, but (at the same time) you really try to block everything out," the pastor added. "I think the emergency services were there a minute or two later, thank God." What struck Nitsche was the eerie silence that had fallen over the school. "It was very quiet. Everyone was calm. There was total silence. No screaming, nothing. That's not what school is like. "And the emergency services arrived in normal police cars, four of them with bulletproof vests, and then they went in." Nitsche said it was hard to grasp the enormity of what had happened. What he experienced was just one part of "a mosaic with lots of pieces". He went back to help comfort students outside the school Wednesday. A city in shock A large black banner, "Graz stands together", was strung across a fence nearby as Austria's second city tried to come to terms with the tragedy. Small groups of students, most dressed in black and many of them crying, placed candles at the entrance of the closed school. Tuesday's shooting is an unprecedented case of deadly gun violence in the usually peaceful Alpine country. Police said the shooter, a 21-year-old former student at the school, killed himself in a toilet after leaving 10 dead or dying and wounding 12 others. Police found a "non-functional homemade bomb" during a search of his home. A goodbye letter addressed to the suspect's parents was also recovered, though it included no clues about his motive. Locals in Graz are struggling to express their shock. "You can see here how the whole city, probably the whole country is reeling," Michael Saad, a 22-year-old student, told AFP at a candlelight vigil late Tuesday. Saad was among hundreds gathered at the central square in Graz, many young people, placing candles at the feet of a monument in the square in a sombre atmosphere as people stood in silence. Many hugged with tears in their eyes, while others talked quietly in muffled voices.

EU removes UAE from ‘high-risk' money-laundering list
The EU has removed the UAE from its high-risk money-laundering list. The European Commission has updated its list of high-risk jurisdictions presenting strategic deficiencies in their national anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regimes. The UAE was among eight countries removed from the list, while a further 10, including Lebanon were added to the high-risk list. UAE EU money-laundering boost EU entities covered by the AML framework are required to apply enhanced vigilance in transactions involving these countries. This is important to protect the EU financial system. Jurisdictions which were delisted by the EU were: Barbados Gibraltar Jamaica Panama Philippines Senegal Uganda UAE Jurisdictions were added to the list were: Algeria Angola Côte d'Ivoire Kenya Laos Lebanon Monaco Namibia Nepal Venezuela The updated list takes into account the work of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and in particular its list of 'Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring'. As a founding member of FATF, the Commission is closely involved in monitoring the progress of the listed jurisdictions, helping them to fully implement their respective action plans agreed with FAFT. Alignment with FATF is important for upholding the EU´s commitment to promoting and implementing global standards. The Commission said it had 'carefully considered the concerns expressed regarding its previous proposal and conducted a thorough technical assessment, based on specific criteria and a well-defined methodology, incorporating information collected through the FATF, bilateral dialogues and on-site visits to the jurisdictions in question'. Article 9 of the 4th Anti-money Laundering Directive (4AMLD) mandates the Commission to regularly update the list of high-risk third-country jurisdictions.
