Protests by secondary-school pupils, a fuel crisis and a budget debate getting off to a bad start in the National Assembly, where there is no majority, the government is facing a string of difficulties that are being reflected in opinion polls.

Picking up products, placing them on shelves and repeating the same movements for hours. At a Føtex supermarket near Copenhagen, robots are learning to perform one of the most time-consuming jobs in retail. Developed by Danish start-up Hive Robots and built by China’s Unitree, the machines have been training since June.

The ambition is to have them restocking shelves independently by early 2027, working mainly at night when the supermarket is closed. The experiment is part of a wider trial with Salling Group,…

Three weeks into France’s student protests, questions are mounting over whether the demonstrations will fizzle out or evolve into a broader social movement. The protests and school blockades began in Paris’s suburbs in mid-September, before rapidly spreading nationwide. Dramatic images of students climbing the iconic column at Paris’ Place de la Bastille on Thursday managed to capture audiences worldwide.
