The Museum of Innocence was published as a novel in 2008, became a physical museum in 2012, and reached a much wider audience with this year’s Netflix series. Euronews Turkish team was personally welcomed at the museum by Nobel Prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk who discussed the philosophy behind the novel, the memorial power of objects and his thoughts on the museum’s legacy. The sentence ‘I didn’t know it was the happiest moment of my life’ is now recognised as one of the most striking openings in world literature. What do you think makes this sentence so powerful? The novel also…
It was part of a broader redirection of far-right resentments away from race and ethnicity to class and status, embodied by the yellow-vest protests that began months after that World Cup victory. Le Pen began to speak of France’s most famous athletes the way her father once dismissed Paris’ detached elites — “technocratic robots, graduates of the École Nationale d’Administration, and bourgeois bohemians,” he said in a 2006 address to a party convention — rather than as ungrateful immigrants representing the country’s restive suburbs. The populist shift was evident in 2024, when several of the team’s top strikers all joined a swift counterattack against…

The Italian government is sounding the alarm after 80 vials of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid up to one hundred times more powerful than morphine, were stolen from Rome’s Israelitic Hospital. The missing quantity would be enough to produce up to around 20,000 doses potentially destined for illicit use, which in countries such as the United States and Canada has become a national emergency. Fentanyl is used legally in medicine as an anaesthetic and to treat severe pain, including in cancer patients. But taking this “party anaesthetic” for non-medical purposes has devastating effects. As little as 3 milligrams of the “zombie…
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is financing Kazakhstan’s first large-scale refractory gold ore processing facility, helping the country unlock previously inaccessible reserves while expanding domestic mineral processing. Around half of Kazakhstan’s gold resources are contained in refractory ores that cannot be processed using conventional methods. The bank is providing a €255 million loan to support the construction of the Ertis pressure oxidation hydrometallurgical complex in the Pavlodar region. Developed by Solidcore Resources, the facility will be capable of processing up to 278,500 tonnes of gold concentrate a year. Once completed, the project is expected to establish a…
Published on 02/07/2026 – 8:55 GMT+2•Updated 04/07/2026 – 10:17 GMT+2 A Dutch engineer has reconstructed, with the help of academic sources and ancient cartography, the road map that linked up the Roman Empire. The result, accessible from any browser, including on mobile phones, allows users to plot routes between cities of Antiquity and find out how many days the journey would have taken on foot or on horseback. The tool is called OmnesViae (Omnesviae.org (source in Spanish)) and is based mainly on the Tabula Peutingeriana, a medieval copy of a Roman map that depicted the cursus publicus, the Empire’s official…
Published on 04/07/2026 – 18:49 GMT+2•Updated 18:55 Thousands of people gather across France on Saturday to demand government action against sexual violence, following the rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl that served as a catalyst for mass mobilisation. The girl, named as Lyhanna, went missing on 29 May in the southwestern town of Fleurance and her body was found in an abandoned silo almost a week later. Anger grew after it emerged that the main suspect, the 41-year-old father of a school friend, had twice before been formally accused of raping a child but the investigations had been dropped…
Published on 04/07/2026 – 17:16 GMT+2•Updated 17:57 Archaeologists seldom encounter a site that has remained virtually untouched by natural and human interference for hundreds of thousands of years. That is precisely what has been found in a cave on the outskirts of Foreidis, near the Zichron Yaakov junction, where researchers from the Israel Antiquities Authority and the University of Haifa are excavating a site dated to between 400,000 and 250,000 years ago. The excavation is led (source in Spanish) by archaeologist Kobi Vardi and Amit Gabay, together with Professor Ron Schimmelmitz. The team describe the site as one of the…
