Far-right politicians in Poland have expressed their outrage at an alleged plan to give Ukrainians with Polish citizenship their own representation in Poland’s parliament. Politicians from different far-right parties decry any notion of Ukrainians having their own representation in the Sejm, the lower house of Poland’s parliament, with some even calling for a total halt to granting Polish citizenship to Ukrainians. “Ukrainian media are announcing that Ukrainians in Poland will have their own representatives in the Polish Parliament,” Włodzimierz Skalik, MP for the far-right party Confederation of the Polish Crown, said in a Facebook post. “This is a very dangerous…

When asked by a journalist in Luxembourg on Tuesday how long the proposals would be delayed, migration Commissioner Magnus Brunner didn’t deny the delay, or seem phased by it. “I’m sure we will be able to find an agreement. And I don’t think it matters whether it’s a couple of days earlier or later; it’s important that it works,” he said.  Brunner acknowledged that the deadline is set out in the law, but said this is “the first time we’re doing this exercise … it’s not that easy, because it’s the first time.” Ministers are meeting in Luxembourg on Tuesday…

Rail passenger transport is on the rise across Europe as more people choose trains for both business and leisure. However, several surveys show that reliable internet access is a challenge across Europe’s rail networks. In the United Kingdom, for instance, 70 per cent of passengers reported frequent WiFi interruptions during their commutes, according to Uswitch. “One of the key advantages of travel by rail is that time spent travelling can be productive, either for work or socially, but to achieve that passengers need uninterrupted mobile connectivity,” Chris Page, chair of UK advocacy group Railfuture, told Euronews Next. So, which countries…

The issue marks the magazine’s acknowledgment of what it called “a signature achievement of Trump’s second term” and a “strategic turning point” for the Middle East: the first phase of a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas that has led to the release of all Israeli hostages held in Gaza and the freeing of around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners from Israel. Trump’s remarks came hours after he concluded visits to Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Sharm el-Sheikh on Monday, where he oversaw the signing of the Gaza peace deal — a plan he personally championed and which formally ended two years of…

Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images Aside from the steep monetary value, these shakedowns have also made media companies more adverse to reporting criticism of the president and his administration’s actions. Next came universities: Long the foundation of America’s scientific and technological supremacy, Trump cut off federal research funding for major universities in order to force them to adopt policies favored by his administration. Some institutions, like Columbia University, Brown University and the University of Pennsylvania, obliged, agreeing to pay eight-to-nine figure “fines.” Others, like Harvard University, resisted and have been financially squeezed, seeing their critical scientific research grants cancelled.Corporations haven’t escaped Trump’s…

US President Donald Trump said he plans to focus on ending Russia’s war against Ukraine, now that phase one of his Gaza ceasefire deal is its final stages. Monday saw Hamas release all 20 living Israeli hostages while Israel freed almost 2,000 Palestinians that had been held in its prisons. This after both sides agreed to end hostilities on 10 October. A possible ceasefire for Ukraine and the next steps will likely be discussed at a meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Trump on Friday in Washington, as confirmed by Ukraine’s president. “I think we need to discuss the sequence of…

Education plays a major role in the labour market. According to Eurostat, higher levels of education are typically associated with higher employment rates and greater lifetime earnings. However, for many recent graduates, finding a job can still take time. Competition is intense. In the UK, for instance, employers received more than 1.2 million applications for just under 17,000 graduate vacancies in 2024, according to the Institute of Student Employers (ISE). This means each graduate position attracted an average of 140 applications. This marks the highest level of competition in more than three decades, since the ISE began collecting such data…

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Monday voiced the EU’s full support for the Gaza peace plan “brokered by the United States, Qatar, Egypt and Turkey.” “We stand ready to contribute to its success with all tools at our disposal,” she wrote on X. “And we will provide EU funding for the reconstruction of Gaza.” In addition, Brussels will restart a civilian mission to monitor the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt on Wednesday in support of the ceasefire deal, the EU’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, said in a separate statement.
