Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the conservative People’s Party and current favorite to be Spain’s next prime minister, met on Tuesday with Maldita’s team. “It’s shocking, and we can’t look the other way,” he wrote on X. “We have a duty to protect children, and this is one of my top priorities for families.” Borja Sémper, a key PP lawmaker who attended the meeting between Feijóo and the investigative team, said: “What’s happening on TikTok is unacceptable. We’re not going to let this go.” The Socialist Party has positioned itself as Spain’s toughest voice against the platforms, and Sánchez has…
The historic SS United States, once the world’s fastest ocean liner, was deliberately sunk in the Gulf of Mexico off Florida on Wednesday, November 11. The vessel was taken beneath the water as part of a $13.5 million project to turn it into the world’s largest artificial reef, attracting divers and fishing enthusiasts while creating a habitat for marine life. The controlled sinking took several hours, longer than organisers had initially expected. Crews had filled 128 fuel and lubricant tanks with water to help the ship settle evenly on the ocean floor. By around 9 pm, the giant vessel tilted…
Even as the Iran war started driving up wholesale gas prices, household electricity and gas prices fell on average across the EU in the first half of 2026. The differences between countries were striking. A unit of electricity cost more than three times as much in Ireland as in Hungary, according to Eurostat. Where in Europe did households pay the most and least for electricity and gas? And how do the rankings change when local price levels are taken into account? Among 38 European countries with data, household electricity prices including taxes ranged from €6.6 per 100 kWh in Turkey…
Deutschland steht vor Rekordausgaben und im Haushaltsausschuss wird bis zum Schluss gerungen. Gerungen wird um strittige Themen wie und neue Steuern. Rasmus Buchsteiner und Maximilian Stascheit waren am Mittwochabend dabei, wo es Spitz auf Kopf ums Geld ging und ordnen ein, wie Union und SPD verblieben sind. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview fordert der Präsident des Steuerzahlerbundes, Reiner Holznagel, erneut den radikalen Schritt: die komplette Streichung eines Ministeriums. Er kritisiert den massiven Stellenaufbau in der Verwaltung und warnt vor einer Ausweitung der E-Auto-Prämie.Warum der Staat laut Holznagel trotz Steuereinnahmen von fast einer Billion Euro ein massives Ausgabenproblem hat, ordnet er im Gespräch ein.…
Over 50 leaders are descending on Dublin today for the European Political Community summit — but it’s not a popular one. Today on the show, Zoya Sheftalovich and Kathryn Carlson discuss why insiders don’t find the forum particularly useful, and some even hope it will end once French President Emmanuel Macron — who spearheaded the initiative — leaves office. One meeting leaders are more eager to attend, however, is Friday’s informal European Council, also taking place in Dublin. High on the agenda is the thorny question of who should represent Europe in future Ukraine peace talks, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr…
Published on 12 November 2026 – 5:07 GMT+1 At least two people have died, while others have been trapped in the rubble after a three-storey building collapsed in Brooklyn, New York, at the edge of a construction site on Wednesday afternoon. Some 250 firefighters and police officers tackled the rubble with pickaxes and saws to pull people covered in dust from beneath piles of twisted wood and brick. During a press conference, officials said that at least 17 people had been hospitalised, four in critical condition. While it is unclear whether people might still be trapped, New York City Fire…
“The development of the Polish defense industry is necessary, but it should not automatically mean preferential treatment for companies directly controlled by the government,” the report said. Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz last month underlined that the government aims to develop the country’s military-industrial complex, saying: “We are building a strong army, strengthening security, and investing in Poland’s future.” But favoring domestic companies risks clashing with the government’s drive to rearm as quickly as possible; Warsaw wants to buy tanks, jets and missiles to deter Russia, although that goal does pose problems for its domestic arms industry. A drone hangs above visitors’…
Moscow has also stifled information on court cases concerning dead soldiers. In early 2025, Russian journalists noticed an unprecedented uptick in the number of court cases emerging about soldiers being declared missing in action or dead. Military units normally ask courts to declare soldiers dead when they do not return from a battlefield for months. “It was growing exponentially — it was big news,” Treshchanin said. “You start with 40,000 cases, then four months later you have 70,000, and two months after that, 90,000. I mean, just how many of these people could there possibly be?” Russia 200 recorded almost…
Shortly after 7.30 pm, on Wednesday 11 November, groups of masked protesters began throwing stones, bottles and fireworks at police near Passeig de Gràcia and Plaça de Catalunya. Rubbish bins and street furniture were set alight, creating burning barricades in the city centre, while shop windows were smashed and stores reportedly looted. Footage shows flames engulfing barricades and protesters confronting riot police, who responded with crowd-control projectiles and baton charges. Catalonia’s Mossos d’Esquadra police moved to disperse the groups as the disturbances spread towards Las Ramblas. Violent clashes broke out after an otherwise peaceful mass demonstration, when small groups of…
Braving torrential rain, vast crowds flooded the main thoroughfares of the Spanish capital, unfurling banners with calls for a “General Strike” and chanting “We have no home”. Police placed attendance at approximately 120,000, as aerial footage revealed packed streets completely gridlocking Madrid’s historic centre. Called jointly by the UGT and CCOO trade unions alongside housing activist groups, the 24-hour stoppage aimed to address stagnant wages, failing public services, and a spiralling cost of living. Anger over shelter has reached a boiling point in recent months, ignited in September by the high-profile eviction of Maricarmen, an 87-year-old pensioner in Madrid. Union…
