La France, qui assure la présidence du G7 jusqu’à la fin de l’année, a fixé quatre priorités politiques. Parmi elles, “la résilience et la durabilité du secteur numérique”, qui englobent l’empreinte environnementale du secteur. L’IA, qui consomme d’énormes quantités d’énergie, est notamment devenu un sujet de discussion de plus en plus brûlant en Europe. L’Agence européenne pour l’environnement a d’ailleurs averti au début du mois que “l’expansion rapide de l’IA représente un défi croissant pour atteindre la neutralité climatique”. La prise en compte explicite de l’impact environnemental de la tech est toutefois “une ligne rouge pour les États-Unis”, a déclaré…
Published on 28/05/2026 – 17:53 GMT+2 Six European Union countries have raised renewed concerns over the bloc’s carbon market, saying that the costs it links to pollution could force industry to relocate production outside the EU to countries with weaker environmental rules. During a gathering of industry ministers in Brussels on Thursday, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Greece, Poland, Romania and Slovakia warned that their steelmakers, cement plants, aluminium smelters and chemical producers are being squeezed between soaring energy costs, geopolitical instability and tightening carbon rules under the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), the bloc’s carbon market. At the centre of…
Published on 28/05/2026 – 18:06 GMT+2 A federal judge has declined to halt President Donald Trump’s executive order creating a federal voter list and limiting mail voting, clearing the way for potential sweeping changes in how American elections are run shortly before this year’s midterm vote. US District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee in Washington, rejected the request by Democrats and civil rights groups late on Wednesday that had argued Trump’s order would likely be found unconstitutional because the states and Congress, not the president, have the power to set election rules. Nichols agreed with the Trump administration’s contention…
Italy said on Thursday it was seizing more than €200 million in assets belonging to late Mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro derived from drug trafficking and reinvested in Europe and beyond. The “vast fortune” of the ruthless Cosa Nostra boss, a legendary figure finally captured in 2023 in Palermo after three decades on the run, had been amassed since the 1980s, Italy’s financial police said in a statement. Messina Denaro, head of Sicily’s Castelvetrano clan who had six life sentences to his name, died in prison a few months after his arrest at age 61. The investigation by the Guardia…

Greece and Türkiye have long battled it out for the title of Europe’s most affordable summer escape, but in 2026, the balance is starting to shift. While Türkiye still offers lower prices for many travellers, soaring inflation has pushed up costs in some of its most popular resorts. This has led to an increasing numbers of Turkish tourists heading to neighbouring Greece instead. From beach tavernas to package holidays, the two Mediterranean heavyweights are now competing on far more than sunshine alone. A recent Euronews report found that tourism between Greece and Türkiye has tripled – but only in one…

Published on 28/05/2026 – 16:23 GMT+2 Hungary is on a “clear and steadfast” path toward restoring the rule of law, and the EU will work with Budapest to evaluate progress — a key step toward unlocking the bloc’s frozen funds, European Commissioner for Justice Michael McGrath told Euronews’s Europe Today show. McGrath also announced he would travel to Budapest next week to meet Márta Görög, the country’s justice minister, “to agree on the reforms and look at the progress that they intend to make over the months ahead.” “So far they have demonstrated a very clear and steadfast commitment on…
