Prosecutors 1 in Germany are opening an investigation 2 against persons unknown in connection with the alleged 3 bugging 4 of Chancellor 5 Angela Merkel's mobile phone by the US National Security Agency. The revelation came to light last year, damaging ties between Washington and Berlin. The allegations were made public by the former American intelligence contractor 6 Edward Snowden. A German Green MP Hans-Christian Stroebele said the investigation was unlikely to harm links between the two countries.
It's probable relations with the US will be strained by this, but not much beyond what they currently are. I don't believe it will come to a suffering of cooperation between the secret services or other German-US relationships. I assume that the true interests and relations, the good business, military and intelligence relations are so strong that neither side will want to damage them.
Leaders of the G7 group of rich nations are gathering 7 in Brussels for their first meetings since Russia was thrown out, following its annexation 8 of Crimea. The crisis in Ukraine is certain to dominate discussions of the opening dinner. From Brussels, Chris Morris.
The meeting was originally planned as a G8 to be held in Russia, but the other seven countries abandoned that idea after the annexation of Crimea. The G7 now wants Russia to engage with the new Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, and to do more to rein 9 in separatist fighters in the east of the country. For the moment, the emphasis is on diplomacy 10 and politics, but the threat of moving to a higher level of sanctions against Russia remains 11 on the table.

Mr. Putin said he would not avoid any of the leaders at the event.
The authorities in Syria say Bashar al-Assad has been re-elected president with almost 89% of the vote. The election was held in the midst of the civil war, and only people in government-controlled areas were able to take part. Jeremy Bowen is watching the celebrations in Damascus.
The election was condemned 12 and ridiculed 13 by President al-Assad's enemies at home and abroad. But for the regime and all the supporters on the streets, this is a victory. All the international peace plans so far for this war have revolved 14 around finding ways for President Assad to step down. His representatives have always said his future wasn't a matter for the negotiation 15; it was for the Syrian people to decide. Now as these celebrations continue in Damascus, the regime will say that the people have delivered their president a new seven-year mandate 16.
