Moscow has also taken satellite photographs of a U.S.-U.K. joint military facility in the Indian Ocean, as well as Kuwait International Airport and parts of the infrastructure of the Greater Burgan oil field, Zelenskyy wrote, citing a daily intelligence update. Russia also shared pictures of several bases and oilfields in Turkey and Qatar, he added. The Kremlin has denied sharing intelligence. Zelenskyy’s charges echo those of the EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas, who last week accused Russia of supplying Iran with intelligence that has helped Tehran target U.S. military assets in the Middle East. Russia’s support of Iran shows why…

By Theo Farrant & AP Published on 29/03/2026 – 8:00 GMT+2 Scientists in Italy have demonstrated that robotics can actually sharpen musical timing and coordination between performers. In the study, which has been the Science Robotics journal_,_ professional violinists were fitted with exoskeletons on their bow-playing arms. The robots delivered subtle haptic feedback, helping the musicians synchronise their movements. Francesco Di Tommaso, one of the robotics researchers at Università Campus Bio-Medico, explained the approach: “To answer our scientific question, we designed an experiment in which we tested different sensory feedback conditions. So, most notably, we had one condition where they could hear each…
Toy tourism has been surging in the last few years, supported by the rise of fan culture, social media and themed merchandise. The rise of “kidult” nostalgia has led to more adults returning to their favourite toys and finding new ways to engage with them as well, along with the growth of Location-Based Entertainment (LBE). From visiting the world’s oldest and largest toy store, Hamleys, in London, to exploring LEGOLAND’s latest park, toy enthusiasts are increasingly combining travel with their hobbies. This trend isn’t limited to only shops or theme parks though – museums like Hamburg’s Miniatur Wunderland have seen…
For more than eight decades, Spain has been suffering from jet lag in relation to its geographical position. Although by longitude it should be governed by the Greenwich Meridian, the country maintains Central European Time (CET), the same as that used by countries located much further east. This singularity has been fed for years by a persistent story: the myth that this mismatch was a nod from Franco’s regime to Nazi Germany. However, the reality – as is often the case – much more complex and less ideological than one might think. Pere Planesas, a former astronomer at the National…
The strike landed in the moshav near Beit Shemesh, west of Jerusalem, prompting the rapid deployment of first responders, security forces, and rescue teams. Magen David Adom said it treated and evacuated seven people with light injuries, while Home Front Command units searched the impact zone and checked for further casualties. The attack underlined the continuing pressure on civilian areas despite Israel’s multi-layered air defence system. The Israeli strike came amid a wider escalation that has kept communities on alert since the war began on 28 February. Authorities said the missile either evaded or was not fully stopped by air…

“Today, ministers decided to, let’s just move on,” South Korean Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo told POLITICO. “Don’t wait until everybody agrees on everything. Because time is of the essence.” Han-koo labeled it a “practical approach,” under which “when the time comes more members join … and consensus is formed to integrate this into the WTO.” Meanwhile, however, the deal should be implemented “as soon as possible [where] members can reap the benefit,” he said. WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said: “By moving forward with the E-commerce Agreement, participating economies are … demonstrating that the multilateral trading system can respond, and is…

Monaco welcomed Pope Leo XIV on Saturday for the first papal visit to the principality since 1538, with the pontiff using the one-day trip to urge residents to put wealth and influence at the service of the common good. Arriving by helicopter from Rome, he was received by Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene before addressing crowds from the Prince’s Palace and later celebrating Mass at Stade Louis II. The visit matters beyond ceremony because Monaco, a state of just 2.08 square kilometres, remains one of the few countries in Europe where Catholicism is the official religion. The visit also…
