In einigen Fällen sollen Dokumente auch vernichtet worden sein, offenbar aber nicht mutwillig. Die Regierung hatte am Freitag eine Verlängerung der Frist für die Familienzusammenführungen beantragt.

+++ 0.50 Uhr: US-Berufungsgericht bestätigt "Dieselgate"-Milliardenvergleich von VW +++

Im Abgas-Skandal hat ein US-Berufungsgericht einen milliardenschweren Vergleich zwischen dem Volkswagen-Konzern und geschädigten US-Kunden bestätigt. Die Richter wiesen Einwände gegen den Kompromiss mit zahlreichen Sammelklägern als unbegründet zurück, wie aus ihrer Entscheidung hervorgeht. Konkret ging es um die Rechtmäßigkeit eines bis zu rund zehn Milliarden Dollar teuren Entschädigungsprogramms, das VW vor allem für Rückkäufe und Reparaturen von fast 500.000 Dieselwagen mit Manipulations-Software eingerichtet hatte. Einige Kläger hatten diese Lösung nicht hinnehmen wollen und Berufung eingelegt. Das Gericht wies ihren Antrag jedoch ab und bewertete den Vergleich als "fair und angemessen". Die betroffenen VW-Kunden dürften dabei höhere Entschädigungen erhalten haben, als sie bei einem Prozess gegen den Konzern hätten erwarten können, hieß es in der Begründung.

+++ 0.44 Uhr: Zahl der Toten durch Unwetter in Japan steigt auf 122 +++

Die Zahl der Toten der verheerenden Regenfälle in Japan ist auf 122 gestiegen. Mehrere Dutzend Menschen würden noch vermisst, teilte die japanische Regierung mit. Es ist die höchste Opferzahl durch Regenfälle in Japan seit mehr als drei Jahrzehnten. Ende vergangener Woche hatten heftige Regenfälle im Westen und Zentrum Japans schwere Überschwemmungen und Erdrutsche verursacht. Viele Einwohner mussten sich auf die Dächer ihrer Häuser retten. Seit das Wasser in den überschwemmten Gebieten langsam zurückgeht, suchen Rettungskräfte, darunter Polizisten und Soldaten, in den betroffenen Orten nach Überlebenden und möglichen weiteren Opfern. Das Ausmaß der Katastrophe wird erst langsam sichtbar, da der Einsatz in zuvor von der Außenwelt abgeschnittenen Gebieten erst jetzt beginnen kann. Nach Regierungsangaben sind mehr als 70.000 Helfer an dem Einsatz beteiligt.

+++ 0.10 Uhr: Fitness-App verriet Daten über Soldaten und Spionen +++

Die finnische Fitness-App Polar hat ihre Standortbestimmungs-Funktion abgeschaltet, nachdem sensible Daten von Soldaten und Geheimdienstmitarbeitern im Internet aufgetaucht sind. "Wir können westliche Militärangehörige in Afghanistan über die Polar-Seite finden", erklärte Sicherheitsexperte Foeke Postma in einem Blogbeitrag nach einer Recherche mit der niederländischen Nachrichtenseite De Correspondent. Mit nur wenigen Klicks könne ein hochrangiger Offizier beim morgendlichen Joggen auf einem Luftwaffenstützpunkt mit Atomwaffen ausfindig gemacht werden. Data was collected from some 6,000 Polar users, including soldiers from various countries, as well as foreign intelligence agents from the FBI and the NSA. The data collected included private addresses of US citizens in the Baghdad International Security Zone and Russian soldiers in Crimea. Polar wies darauf hin, dass nur die Daten von Nutzern veröffentlicht worden seien, welche die Standortbestimmung eingeschaltet hätten.
