A new exhibition by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan has opened at Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie, bringing together works that question power, violence and belief. Among them is ‘Him’, a 2001 sculpture of a kneeling child with Adolf Hitler’s face. The curator says the work remains relevant because it presents an image of evil while leaving its meaning uncertain. Other works include ‘Charlie Don’t Surf’, showing a child fixed to a school desk. The exhibition, titled ‘Night’, explores authority, dictatorship, death and doubt. The title also suggests a period of reflection before morning comes.

The Italian Council of Ministers has approved a new fuel decree law that extends by one week, until Thursday 17 September, the 17-cent discount on the price of diesel fuel. The 14-cent-per-litre reduction in tax translates into a lower pump price of around 17 cents per litre, taking into account the reduced impact of VAT.

International sanctions enforcement would be a major addition to its remit. In July, the EU approved its 21st package of sanctions against Moscow since the start of its…

The results of the 2025 standardised test, taken by 15-year-olds across 91 countries, were released this week, and found that performance in reading and mathematics had reached record lows across OECD countries. The assessment measures students’ ability to apply reading, mathematics and science skills to real-world problems. “We see that young people not only have lower…
