\ The Bad Aibling listening post in Bavaria is said to have been used to spy on the Elysee Palace in France
Germany's national intelligence agency, the BND, spied on top French officials and the EU's headquarters on behalf of US intelligence, German media report.
The leaks from a secret BND report suggest that its monitoring station at Bad Aibling spied on France's presidential palace and foreign ministry, and the European Commission.
The US National Security Agency also allegedly spied on some European firms.
German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere denies claims of a cover-up.
The BND reportedly collected information on European firms at Washington's behest to check if they were breaking trade embargos.
According to the reports, the BND did not target German or US officials in the surveillance, as they are protected by a BND-NSA agreement signed in 2002.
However, it has emerged that the German government knew about NSA spying on European arms businesses as early as 2008. The government found "shortcomings" in the BND's operations, German TV reports.
Minister under pressure - by the BBC's Jenny Hill in Berlin:
Yesterday the tabloid newspaper Bild printed a picture of Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere - his nose elongated to Pinocchio proportions.
"Herr de Maiziere!" the accompanying headline screamed. "You lie with impunity!"
There's outrage here that Germany - for so long seen as the victim of American espionage - may have helped US spies to target other Europeans. And pressure is building on the government to reveal how much it knew.
As the former minister in charge of the chancellery, Thomas de Maiziere was directly responsible for Germany's foreign intelligence agency, the BND, in 2008.
And that is when, it's claimed, the BND first told the chancellery that its agents were now helping the NSA to spy on European aviation, aerospace and defence companies.
Mr de Maiziere has denied all knowledge, and maintains that he hasn't deceived anyone. But he says that - because the information is all classified - he is unable to comment publicly.
Yet there are questions about who else was aware. Another German newspaper devoted its front page to a "wanted" poster. Among the mugshots of politicians and civil servants was Chancellor Angela Merkel herself.
Mr de Maiziere denies having had any knowledge of malpractice at German intelligence.
But he called for the internal BND report to be presented to a parliamentary committee, "the sooner the better".
The huge scale of NSA surveillance in Europe - including joint spying operations with the UK's GCHQ - was revealed in 2013 by US whistleblower Edward Snowden.
There was outrage in Germany because of the scope of NSA spying, which allegedly included snooping on Chancellor Merkel's mobile phone conversations. The revelations strained German-US diplomatic ties.
Last July Germany expelled a CIA official based at the US embassy, as reports surfaced of several Germans having spied for the NSA.
Germany's leftist Die Linke party accused the German government on Wednesday of "lying" in connection with NSA activities.
German media reports speak of NSA attempts to spy on Airbus and Eurocopter, now known as Airbus Helicopters, via the BND.
Malala Yousafzai was seriously injured in the 2012 gun attack
A Pakistani court has jailed 10 men for life for involvement in the attack on education activist Malala Yousafzai.
Ms Yousafzai, who was 15 at the time, was shot in the head on board her school bus in the Swat valley in 2012, in an attack that shocked the world.
She was awarded last year's Nobel Peace Prize for campaigning for children's rights, despite the risk to her life.
Officials say the 10 men, who do not include the man named as chief suspect, belonged to the Pakistani Taliban.
Ataullah Khan, a 23-year-old militant, was identified by a police report at the time of the shooting - but he did not appear in the list of 10 men convicted on Thursday.
Malala was shot on her way home from this school in MingoraThe 15-year-old had campaigned for the right of girls, like these in her home town, to access education
They were tried in an anti-terrorist court in Swat, in north-west Pakistan.
The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says that no local journalists were aware that the court case was taking place, so there is uncertainty as to the exact charges the men were facing and who the witnesses were.
A lawyer from the local District Bar Association told the BBC that "there were no open hearings".
Those convicted "had a role in the planning and execution of the assassination attempt on Malala", a police official in Swat told Reuters.

Death threats
Pakistani officials believe local Taliban leader Mullah Fazlullah ordered the attack. He is thought to be in Afghanistan.
Ms Yousafzai, now 17, was treated for her injuries in the UK and currently lives in Birmingham with her family. They are unable to return to Pakistan because of Taliban death threats.

Pakistan's mountainous Swat valley was overrun by the Taliban from 2007 to 2009.
It was the threat by Mullah Fazlullah to close down schools offering girls' education that led to Malala's diary for BBC Urdu, which was written when she was just 11 years old.
The blog, which described life under the Taliban, was anonymous, but the schoolgirl also began to campaign publicly for children's rights.
'Who is Malala?'

By the time Malala was shot in October 2012 most militants had been cleared from the valley by Pakistan government forces - but people who spoke out were still at risk.
Malala was travelling home from school in the town of Mingora when her bus was flagged down.
A group of gunmen asked "Who is Malala?" and opened fire.
Two of her classmates were also injured in the attack.
Shazia Ramzan and Kainat Riaz have recovered from their injuries and are now studying at Atlantic College in Wales.
