Published on 11/09/2026 – 8:55 GMT+2 Brazil’s ambassador to the European Union has warned that the EU’s ban on imports of Brazilian meat risks undoing key aspects of the EU-Mercosur trade deal, fuelling a “reversal of expectations” in Brazil and mounting frustration among the country’s producers. The European Commission suspended imports of meat and other food products from Brazil last week over concerns about antimicrobial substances used in production, in a move that impacts millions of euros’ worth of Brazilian exports. Ambassador Pedro Miguel da Costa e Silva told Euronews that the ban targets “sensitive products” which Brazil and other…
Across Europe, financial insecurity is becoming a long-term feature of people’s living conditions, with energy poverty further aggravating their vulnerability. Around 29% of Europeans say they are living in precarious circumstances, with 73% of Europeans fearing they will not be able to afford fuel costs, according to an annual survey by Ipsos and Secours populaire français. The research interviewed 10,000 people aged 18 and over in France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Moldova, Poland, Portugal, Romania, the United Kingdom and Serbia. Russia’s war in Ukraine and the Middle East conflict have aggravated rising energy and fuel prices in Europe. Amid renewed attacks…
French IT giant Capgemini announced on Saturday that it has reached a definitive agreement to sell its US subsidiary, following controversy over its links with ICE, Donald Trump’s immigration police force.

In February, Capgemini announced its intention to sell Capgemini Government Solutions,…
The AfD’s lead candidate in the Saxony-Anhalt state, Ulrich Siegmund, has sparked fierce criticism with remarks about the possible use of military equipment in a future “remigration and deportation offensive”. The background is the planned establishment of a production site of the Israeli defence company Elbit Systems in Sangerhausen. At a press conference, Siegmund drew a link between the production of armaments, domestic security and the migration policy his party is pursuing. Siegmund initially stated that the AfD did not fundamentally oppose the production of armaments. Arms production could, among other things, be important for domestic security, the stability of…
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Saturday called on artificial intelligence (AI) companies to slow down the development of the powerful technology, as concerns mount over the risks of “superintelligent” computer systems. Superintelligence is the theoretical point when AI’s capabilities exceed human intelligence. His comments came a few days after AI researcher Jacob Coxon, who left OpenAI to join Anthropic, decided to leave the industry, accusing both US companies and industry giants of “gambling with our lives” in the race to develop models capable of self-improvement. “We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models. Progress…

Radzimir Dębski’s creative life is crawling with the number twelve. On June 12, 2026, his album “Études for Piano, Sampler, Orchestra and Friends” came out, on which he invited twelve rappers, and on September 12 of that same year he’ll be sharing the stage with them at a concert in Warsaw’s Bemowo district. And that’s not all. It was back in 2012 that he won the remix contest for Beyoncé’s single “End of Time,” beating out more than three thousand creators from 25 countries. He happened to be in Berlin when Beyoncé herself called to tell him, “I wanna congratulate…
While Lagarde declined to say whether she would become involved in the campaign, participants to Morin’s annual political rally didn’t rule that out. “Several people mention Lagarde as a presidential candidate, but she is the only one who can answer that question,” said centrist senator Catherine Morin-Desailly. “She is a Norman, French and European figure who must, of course, play an active role in helping to shape and develop future platforms for the presidential election. Good candidates will call on her expertise, and I hope they do.” With centrist candidates Gabriel Attal and Edouard Philippe competing against each other and…
Published on 12/09/2026 – 12:19 GMT+2 The price of diesel is expected to rise slightly in Portugal at the start of next week, according to forecasts from the National Association of Fuel Retailers (ANAREC), while the price of petrol is set to fall. However, the increase is being offset by changes to the discount on the Petroleum Products Tax (ISP) announced by the Portuguese government on Friday evening. The new rates unveiled on Friday effectively raise the tax on petrol by about one cent per litre, meaning the price of a litre of 95 unleaded petrol should fall by around…
US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that a unified Ireland would be “fantastic,” wading into a complex and politically charged subject during a two-day visit to a major tournament at his private Irish golf course. At a meeting with Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin in Dublin, Trump said he would love to see the reunification of the Republic of Ireland with the UK’s Northern Ireland. “I don’t want to cause any problems but I’d love to see it unified,” Trump offered when asked for his opinion on the issue by a reporter. “It’s going to happen eventually. It may as…
