Good morning from Brussels. EU leaders are meeting for a second day of an informal summit in Cyprus today, after making history on Thursday with the adoption of a €90 billion loan for Ukraine. Hungary’s election outcome last week helped clear the path for the move, lifting Budapest’s veto and giving Kyiv additional resources to continue resisting Russian forces. Outgoing Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, long one of the EU’s main disruptors, did not travel to Cyprus, leaving heads of state and government also celebrating a new package of sanctions against Russia adopted earlier in the day. That said, Ukraine’s…
A torchlit procession from Republic Square to the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial paid tribute to an estimated 1.5 million Armenians killed in 1915 under the Ottoman Empire. The commemoration remains central to national identity and continues to shape relations with Turkey, which rejects the genocide label despite recognition by more than two dozen countries, including the United Kingdom, France and Germany. On 23 April, crowds gathered again at the memorial to lay flowers at the eternal flame, while parallel events took place across the Armenian diaspora, notably in London, Paris and Los Angeles. Thousands joined the silent march, led by the youth…
“We played a game where you had to stay awake for 24 hours and one day the lads put a shot of tequila on every single bin on the beach for 500 metres — so 10 bins, 10 shots of tequila. You had to sprint to the first bin, gulp down the shot, sprint back. Then sprint to the second bin, down the shot, sprint back, and so on. Run, drink, run, repeat. Once, I tried to hurdle a sun-lounger, hit the top of it and went sprawling face down in the sand.” That quote is either an extract from the…

Amid major geopolitical shifts following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a document attributed to Tom Barrack, the US envoy to Syria, outlines an ambitious proposal to reposition Syria as a key transit hub for global energy flows. The plan focuses not on road transport but on reviving and expanding a huge network of existing and proposed pipelines linking Gulf and Iraqi energy fields to Mediterranean ports and, ultimately, European markets. At the Antalya diplomacy forum in Turkey this week, Syria’s President Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former rebel commander until recently, told the forum that due to its strategic location…
In the last few years, Japan has seen a surge in cherry blossom tourists, leading to significant overtourism at iconic parks and sites like Chureito Pagoda during the blossoming season. In many cases, there can be more than 10,000 tourists in a single day. The rise of social media has contributed to this pressure as well, with Japanese cherry blossom posts often going viral, thanks to the stunning scenery and colourful displays. This has led to incidents like the city of Fujiyoshida cancelling its Arakurayama Sengen Park festival because of safety concerns, infrastructure stain and unruly visitor behaviour. Climate volatility…
In the watch industry, Hermès is a challenger, because we were born in Paris, and we are a very strong brand, but known for silk and leather activities, leather accessories.

The purpose of Hermes regarding watches,…
