A 15-year-old boy has been rescued after surviving nearly three days adrift on an overturned boat in Alaska’s freezing Bering Sea. The teenager was found near St. Lawrence Island after Coast Guard crews launched a search when he and two relatives were reported missing. The boy’s brother and cousin died after the small boat capsized, according to rescuers. Video shows the teenager in a bright yellow jacket clinging to the overturned vessel as the crew of a fishing boat pulled him aboard. He was suffering from symptoms of hypothermia and was warmed with blankets and hot packs.
3D printers have long since moved beyond producing plastic parts. Increasingly, they are also being used to print food: instead of plastic filament, the machines extrude soft ingredients such as chocolate, cheese or plant-based meat alternatives through a nozzle, building them up layer by layer. The desired shape must first be designed on a computer. Several manufacturers are already established in the market, including the Ukrainian-Bulgarian company Chocola3D, the Spanish provider Natural Machines and the German firm Print2Taste. So far, the technology has mainly been used in niche applications, from patisseries to hospitals, while a breakthrough into everyday life has…
Reform UK was leading the polls since April 2025, according to POLITICO’s Poll of Polls. But the party has now slumped slightly behind Labour, with new Prime Minister Andy Burnham at the helm and after a bizarre by-election where Farage defeated satirical candidate Count Binface. Delo argued in an opinion piece for The Telegraph that Reform needed the injection to make the election “a fair fight.” The right-wing force is currently rushing to get battle-ready amid speculation Burnham could trigger an early general election, though one is not due until 2029. Reform UK is on the hunt for potential candidates…

She immediately realised that it was not a native species. “It was a longer snake than the ones we have here,” she told police. Grass snakes and Aesculapian snakes are familiar sights in the region. These non-venomous species can also grow to considerable lengths, with Aesculapian snakes reaching nearly two metres. Police and firefighters arrived at the scene, accompanied by a…

I’m in Latvia for the two-day Rīga Conference, which started yesterday with security and defence very much at the top of the agenda. (And the timing is curious, with today serving as the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the Twin Towers). The big takeaway so far? There is perhaps no place or populace that understands the reality of Russian aggression quite like this pine-covered country. Latvia is a small but mighty nation that has endured centuries of foreign domination, from the swords of German crusaders to the boot of the Soviet Union. In lockstep: From chats with…

A statement from the Saudi foreign ministry referred to a fire near Medina, said to have caused “human and material damage”.…

Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide has told Europe Today that Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has driven Israel into a “very dangerous place”. Describing it as “the most far-right government in Israel’s history”, Eide said he hoped that, regardless of the outcome of Israel’s October elections, the country would eventually recognise it had been on a “very dangerous track”. Eide spoke to Euronews’ EU Editor Maria Tadeo in Riga, Latvia, days after Norway joined 11 other countries in sanctioning trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank. He said that the West had “undermined its credibility” with its “wobbly, unclear and…
