By Euronews Published on 18/06/2026 – 17:48 GMT+2 Resource management, fuel prices, foreign competition – pressing issues for French fishermen and other actors in the maritime sector to discuss at their meeting in Cherbourg. In April, fishermen protested against high fuel prices from Normandy to the French Mediterrenean island of Corsica. The recent framework deal signed between Iran and the US is giving fishermen hope for a decrease in energy prices. Fuel represented up to 60% of ship owners’ turnover in May.

Homeowners inspected their properties for the first time in weeks, offering a stark reminder of the human cost of the conflict. Among them was Adnan Kaour, who returned to his apartment overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and discovered extensive damage caused by a strike in May. He said the home represented years of work and family memories. Nearby, other residents sifted through broken glass and damaged furniture while assessing whether repairs would be possible. The visits came a day after US President Donald Trump signed a preliminary agreement with Iran in France aimed at easing regional tensions and opening a 60-day…
By Euronews Greece Published on 18/06/2026 – 17:22 GMT+2 Greece is marking a major milestone with the completion of work to reveal the western pediment of the Parthenon. For the first time in more than two centuries, the country’s most famous monument is now definitively free of its external scaffolding.

Published on 18/06/2026 – 15:44 GMT+2 The Scots have only gone and done it. No, we’re not talking about Scotland’s first game win against Haiti last Sunday for their first World Cup game since 1998. We’re referring to the fact that the Tartan Army has managed to make haggis legal again. In one US state. For now… Last month, we reported how one of Scotland’s leading butchers, Simon Howie Butchers, had launched a campaign for the US to legalise haggis ahead of the World Cup. The not immediately appealing but downright delicious Scottish delicacy has been illegal in the US…

The protest took place near EU institutions and brought together activists, human rights campaigners and members of a recent Gaza-bound flotilla.

The demonstration was organised by the human rights group Avaaz and included Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. Protesters carried signs reading “EU, stop buying what Israel steals” and demanded restrictions on imports such as dates, avocados and other agricultural products originating from settlements. Avaaz official…
No film franchise has ever had a good fifth instalment. In fact, Chapter 5 is usually a series death knell. Consider the evidence, which does not include reboots or prequels: Dirty Harry took his undignified final bow with The Dead Pool; Die Hard ended with the dire A Good Day To Die Hard; Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire was a franchise low point (and hopefully a swansong); the Pirates of the Caribbean series careened downwards since the first instalment and crashed with Dead Men Tell No Tales; Harrrison Ford deserved a better send-off than Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny; and…
