National telecoms authorities, EU policymakers and Barcelona-based satellite company Sateliot met at the European Parliament in Brussels on Tuesday to discuss how radio frequencies and fresh money will decide who controls the communications Europe relies on from orbit, with the bloc’s current seven-year space budget expiring in 2027. Euronews was at the event, organised by Sateliot, whose spacecraft act as mobile phone masts in space, connecting Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as sensors and trackers where ground networks don’t reach. The EU’s €14.8 billion space programme for 2021-2027, which funds Galileo, the bloc’s satellite navigation system, and Copernicus, its…

Another major day of demonstrations got underway in France on Tuesday, with students and trade unions taking to the streets to protest education conditions and funding as the National Assembly began its debate on the government’s budget proposals for 2027. Teaching unions told Euronews that they were dissatisfied with the government’s response to concerns over long school days, overcrowded classrooms, run down facilities, and teacher absences. “It is clear that the responses that have been provided are inadequate and do not meet the needs set out,” Elisabeth Allain-Moreno, secretary-general of SE UNSA, a teachers’ union, said. France’s Education Minister Édouard…
Russia’s parliament will vote later this month on a budget that allocates a record 44% of federal spending to defence and security — double the share for social programmes — as the Kremlin presses ahead with a fifth year of all-out war in Ukraine. The State Duma, Russia’s lower house of parliament, is due to begin examining the 2027–2029 draft on 22 October. President Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party won an absolute constitutional majority in September’s parliamentary elections, making major amendments unlikely before it passes. Military expenditure this year has reached 17 trillion roubles (€181 billion) against the 12.1 trillion…
Published on 13/10/2026 – 16:43 GMT+2 After much anticipation, Apple have launched a new product that marks a decisive moment for the company as it pushes into the smart home. Called the “HomeView,” it resembles an iPad that lives in your house and has a 7-inch Retina display mounted on an oval base with speakers. The home hub, as it has been referred to colloquially online and in the media, is supposed to be switched on at all times and will be a way for users to connect with Siri. It can recognise up to six different household members and…
The man also faces charges of insulting Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, former President Lech Wałęsa and Krzysztof Paszyk, a lawmaker from Tusk’s governing coalition. The suspect allegedly posted messages calling for the killings on Facebook and TikTok between Aug. 3 and Oct. 7, according to TVP Info. The detention follows Sunday’s arrest of a man suspected of planning an attack on Tusk and Kosiniak-Kamysz. That case began with a warning received by the State Protection Service and prompted an emergency meeting of police, government protection officers and the Internal Security Agency. “In this case, we are talking about a strong probability that these…
New White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia said on Tuesday that the US ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, has been asked to resign following a series of allegations about her conduct. “We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign. She has been a wonderful asset to the team and we wish her well,” Zacharia told reporters. It was not immediately clear if Guilfoyle had resigned. The move follows a series of articles published in the Wall Street Journal alleging questionable conduct by Guilfoyle, including a threat against a Greek official, the acceptance of inappropriate gifts and services, as well as an…
Footage shows the French Navy intercepting an oil tanker suspected of belonging to Russia’s shadow fleet in the Indian Ocean. French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Monday that the navy had boarded the DF Peak, suspected of sailing under a false flag and transporting fuel illegally. The vessel, flying a Beninese flag, was diverted and escorted by French Navy ships to an anchorage off the coast of Réunion, where it will be subject to a judicial investigation. The interception comes as Western countries step up efforts to enforce sanctions against Russia over its war in Ukraine.
Higher profits at four of the biggest US banks offered fresh signs of economic resilience, as consumers continued repaying their debts and businesses kept investing heavily in AI. But even as JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs reported higher profits than a year ago, they warned about the long-term impact of higher interest rates and the pressure rising prices could put on consumers if inflation is not brought under control. JPMorgan Chase, the largest US bank by assets, posted a $15.3 billion profit in the third quarter, or $5.57 a share, up from $14.4 billion, or $5.07 a…
Published on 13/10/2026 – 16:01 GMT+2 Anthropic announced this week that small AI models are just months away from being able to self-replicate themselves on internet-of-things devices such as smart ovens and TVs. That matters because today’s AI models operate in data centres, where the companies that own them can pull the plug if something goes wrong. A model scattered across thousands of poorly secured gadgets in homes and offices would have no such off switch. Stopping it would mean tracking down and cleaning every infected device, making it extremely hard to halt if it turned to cyberattacks. The latest…
