A majority of German parliamentarians has voted in favor of a global pact aimed at regulating migration. Despite its nonbinding nature, the pact has increasingly come under fire from populists across the world.

Laura Baldassarre, Rome's social councilor, highlighted the importance of the project "Intergenerational and Inclusive Urban Gardens" as a way to facilitate migrant training and integration in the Italian capital.

Authorities in Croatia have imposed a 24-hour ban on broadcasts by some local TV stations following an episode some weeks ago in which participants in a talk show openly incited hate against migrants.

The International Organization for Migration said that migrant arrivals in Europe from the Mediterranean have reached a total of 106,269 people so far in 2018, while the victims thus far this year have reached a total of 2,119.
