Riga is scrambling to restore public trust and secure its fragile airspace. On Thursday last week, several drones entered Latvian airspace over the picturesque towns of Balvi and Ludza, near the country’s eastern flank and roughly an hour’s drive west of Russia. The Latvian Defence Ministry issued a statement in the hours following the event, stating that two of the unnamed aerial vehicles had crashed while another caused a brief fire at an oil depot. No one was injured, but residents said they only received a text warning them of the drones 60 minutes after the incident occurred. Latvia’s political…
After days of false starts, red herrings, a vicious briefing war by all sides and a concerted fightback by Starmer, his MPs believe the competing routes to oust him are now becoming clearer. The prime minister could cling on for at least a month or two. If he does not choose to set out a timetable himself, he could face one or both of two rivals: the Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, and the centrist former Health Secretary Wes Streeting, whose desire to launch an immediate challenge sputtered out Thursday. Waiting in the wings is Starmer’s former deputy Angela Rayner,…

Published on 14/05/2026 – 10:53 GMT+2•Updated 13:02 Latvia’s centre-right Prime Minister Evika Siliņa announced on Thursday she will resign from the top job following coalition controversy and a drone incident, effectively triggering the collapse of the country’s governing alliance. “Today, I have made the difficult but honest decision – to step down from the position of Prime Minister,” Siliņa stated in a post on social media platform X. The comments mirrored a televised address. She said her priorities have always been Latvia’s security and people, but “political envy and narrow party interests” have taken precedence over responsibility. Siliņa’s resignation means…
A raft of AI-generated and out-of-context videos has circulated online in recent weeks, misrepresenting Italy’s relationship with Israel. Two clips have been widely shared on social media platforms Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram with misleading and false captions, with users overstating that relations between the two have severely deteriorated when they were once strong. One of the clips, which garnered thousands of views across platforms, depicts Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni snubbing a handshake from her Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, during a UN meeting. Meloni, draped in a Palestinian flag, then walks out of the room. Multiple users online claim…
The United States has cancelled the deployment of 4,000 troops to Poland as part of a broader Pentagon plan to withdraw 5,000 soldiers from NATO territory in Germany, Euronews can confirm. Earlier this month, the US administration announced the drawdown amid a growing rift between Washington and Berlin, after the German Chancellor Frederic Merz characterised the US-Israeli war in Iran as ill-conceived. He also said that the White House had been “humiliated” in the regime in Tehran. US President Donald Trump reacted angrily to the remarks, posting a series of messages attacking the German chancellor and telling him to spend…

Under the slogan ‘Inside the Legend’, the two-storey museum offers an immersive tour that starts with an audiovisual tunnel about Rafael Nadal’s childhood and his first dreams, and moves through the milestones that marked his career on and off the courts. Trophies, personal…
UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting quit embattled British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Cabinet on Thursday in what is expected to be a precursor to challenging his leadership. Streeting is the first Cabinet member to resign as Starmer faces pressure to step down after the Labour Party’s disastrous results last week in local and regional elections. “Where we need vision, we have a vacuum. Where we need direction, we have drift,” Streeting wrote in his resignation letter to Starmer that was published on X. “It is now clear that you will not lead the Labour Party into the next general election…
Supporters gathered in Tehran on Wednesday to send off Iran national football team ahead of preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Footage showed players and coaches appearing on stage as crowds waved Iranian flags, sang the national anthem and chanted political slogans including “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” Some attendees carried portraits of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Iran’s team is expected to travel to Turkey for a training camp before heading to the United States for the tournament, which will be co-hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico.
