Gewinnt die AfD im Herbst ein Innenressort im Osten, droht der Innenministerkonferenz die Handlungsfähigkeit. Weil das Gremium einstimmig entscheidet, könnte ein einziges Veto die deutsche Innenpolitik lahmlegen. Gordon Repinski und Rasmus Buchsteiner besprechen, wie die Innenminister im Hintergrund versuchen, dieses Problem in den Griff zu bekommen. NRW-SPD-Spitzenkandidat Jochen Ott fordert im 200-Sekunden-Interview flexible Lebensarbeitszeiten statt fixer Altersgrenzen und will Beamte in die Rentenkasse holen. Beim Bundestags-Planspiel Jugend und Parlament flog ein AfD-Teilnehmer wegen des „White-Power“-Handzeichens raus.

Published on 11/06/2026 – 5:58 GMT+2•Updated 6:15 The United States and Iran traded strikes for a second straight day, as US leaders accused their counterparts of dragging out negotiations for a deal to end the three-month war. Iranian media reported explosions across the south near the Strait of Hormuz, with explosions heard in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm and Minab, and sources reporting hits by “enemy projectiles” in Kargan and Sirik. CENTCOM said later that it had “completed” its strikes on “Iranian military surveillance capabilities, communication systems, and air defense sites”. American forces “fired precision munitions on Iranian targets that posed a…
The U.S. embassy’s mega 250th birthday bash in Brussels is one of the most sought-after events for the city’s top brass … but it’s also drawing ire. Today on the show, Zoya Sheftalovich and Ian Wishart discuss why MEPs and environmental activists are growing increasingly frustrated with this American July 4th celebration. The event is set to be attended by 5,000 people and will shut down the public Cinquantenaire park for up to 36 hours. Also on the show, we got our hands on the spending figures of lobby groups in the EU capital. Which country doles out the most…
If Burnham wins, Starmer would then likely set out a departure timetable. And while former Health Secretary Wes Streeting insists he will enter any leadership race, Burnham’s allies are privately pushing for a coronation, as Labour’s grassroots members — who choose the party leader — don’t want a divisive contest. Plus, Streeting may be keen on the top job, but he would probably back Burnham in return for a senior cabinet post. A handover of power could take place in the immediate aftermath of a Burnham victory; however, a September handover — possibly at Labour’s annual conference in late September…

Published on 11/06/2026 – 0:43 GMT+2 The World Cup is on, one the biggest events of the year. It will unite the world, create a vibe of friendship and festivity and leave politics outside. Really? Two members of the European Parliament are talking about this in the latest edition of The Ring, Rasmus Andresen from Germany (Greens) and Lukas Mandl from Austria (European People’s Party). As of this week, the FIFA Football World Cup will capture the attention of millions of people around the globe. But headlines will not only dominate the sport pages – rarely has the politics of…
Published on 10/06/2026 – 14:08 GMT+2 A package of measures aimed at accelerating defence investment and improving defence responsiveness to security challenges across the European Union was approved by European Parliament and European Council negotiators on Wednesday.

Published on 10/06/2026 – 21:36 GMT+2 Cuba’s government said on Wednesday that the US oil blockade that has crippled the island is preventing the United Nations from distributing 170 containers of humanitarian aid. US President Donald Trump has set his sights on ending more than six decades of communist rule in Cuba. In January, he cut off oil supplies to Washington’s arch-foe from its main supplier Venezuela and threatened other countries with sanctions if they came to Cuba’s rescue. Since then, only one oil tanker, from Russia, has made it through. Cuba’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said that 170 containers…
By Dr Timo Graf, Senior Research Officer at the Zentrum für Militärgeschichte und Sozialwissenschaften der Bundeswehr in Potsdam Published on 10/06/2026 – 14:49 GMT+2 The opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not represent in any way the editorial position of Euronews. Russia is waging a war of aggression against Ukraine and a hybrid war against Europe as a whole. At the same time, the US is retreating from its role as Europe’s military security guarantor. Against this backdrop, Germany is assuming greater responsibility for the defence of Europe. In fact, Germany is investing heavily in…
Images released by Iberia showed the pontiff speaking with pilots, addressing passengers from the front of the aircraft and greeting crew members during the short journey across Spain. The flight was also escorted by a fighter jet before landing in Barcelona, where thousands of faithful gathered for the pope’s arrival.

The project, designed by architect Antoni Gaudí more than a century ago, remains one of Spain’s most recognisable monuments and attracts millions of visitors each year.…
