The attack took place at approximately 9:30 am, when police received reports of a stabbing. Polish media identified the person killed as a priest. Police confirmed the death to AFP but did not verify the victim’s identity. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the “murderer” would be “punished with the…
People in Copenhagen have given mixed reactions to a new security deal signed by US President Donald Trump and the leaders of Denmark and Greenland on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Some Danes welcomed the agreement, saying closer cooperation with the US could help strengthen Arctic defence and ease tensions. But others remain sceptical. “I don’t feel safe,” said psychotherapist Maj Mortensen, while software engineer Mads Johnson said cooperation with the US was important because the two countries remain allies.
Published on 24/09/2026 – 16:29 GMT+2 The Dangote Group is looking to take its refinery success beyond Nigeria, with plans to build a wider energy business across Africa.

But expansion brings new challenges — from raising capital and managing currency risks to navigating different regulations and connecting energy infrastructure across borders. We were joined by David Bird, CEO and Managing Director of Dangote Refinery, to discuss the…
She and far-left candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon both want Paris to leave the military alliance, raising alarm bells at NATO headquarters about France’s future defense policy. The National Rally has long advocated withdrawing from NATO’s integrated command, but Le Pen’s comments indicate a slight shift in her position. Back in May, she said France would pull out during her first term, without referring to the war in Ukraine, while the party’s president Jordan Bardella wanted to wait for a peace agreement between Kyiv and Moscow. Le Pen and Bardella are campaigning as a ticket that would see the 31-year-old become prime…
France’s new €1 university meal scheme is drawing large crowds at canteens in Paris, with students queuing for meals and staff struggling to cope with the extra demand. At the Crous Mabillon restaurant, a storekeeper says staff went on strike over a lack of equipment and personnel, warning the service could reach breaking point. Students, meanwhile, have mixed experiences: some praise the measure as valuable financial support, while others say longer queues are making it harder to eat between classes.
The Mexican Navy tall ship Cuauhtémoc sails beneath San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge before docking along the Embarcadero. The visit marks its return to the city after 17 years. It is part of an international training voyage along the US West Coast, following a stop in Honolulu. The crew will spend four days there before continuing to San Diego. The Cuauhtémoc was involved in a fatal collision with New York’s Brooklyn Bridge last year, which killed two sailors and injured 19 others. Repaired after the accident, it is now back at sea. Visitors can board the vessel for tours while…
Published on 24/09/2026 – 16:31 GMT+2 Europe’s struggle to build on successful national models across borders could be costing it at least €120 billion a year in missed investment. That is the estimate of Italian think tank The European House–Ambrosetti (TEHA), in a study produced with Amazon. The study, published on Thursday, analyses successful national examples across a wide range of sectors—from railway networks to AI, from energy to smart regulation—and argues that Europe does not need to imitate foreign models, but rather integrate leading examples at the European level. “Europe does not need to look elsewhere for answers. Some…
Face au spectre d’une crise de la dette, Gabriel Attal, qui s’est entretenu mercredi avec plusieurs économistes (Xavier Jaravel, Natacha Valla ou encore Olivier Blanchard), a annoncé qu’il préparait “un plan de secours au cas où la situation se dégraderait à très court terme”. Sans décliner l’ensemble de son plan d’économies, Gabriel Attal a évoqué ses principales pistes, dont une réforme des retraites, un serrage des dépenses sur la sphère sociale et sur les effectifs de l’administration grâce à l’intelligence artificielle. Le candidat va en outre dévoiler prochainement “une refonte globale de l’organisation des pouvoirs publics”, et compte réduire “d’une…
