By Lina Ferreira Published on 07/09/2026 – 19:07 GMT+2•Updated 19:38 Portugal woke up to another rise in fuel prices which, in the case of diesel, reached a historic high. This time, the price rise, which has been seen throughout the year, was marked by protests on roads across the country. In the morning, a blaring of car horns on the 25 de Abril bridge could be heard, the crossing that links Lisbon to the city of Almada, on the south bank of the River Tagus. At the same time, further south, a slow‑moving convoy set off towards Galp’s refinery in Sines,…
The attempted attack involved three drones carrying explosive material spotted at or near the Leipzig-Halle Airport, one of which was found near a Ukrainian Antonov plane used to transport munitions. Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul unveiled a series of domestic countermeasures against the Kremlin, including the closure on Sept. 18 of Russia’s consulate in Bonn and the Russian House cultural institution in Berlin. Russia also said it would close branches of the German cultural center, the Goethe-Institut, in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Novosibirsk. In recent months, EU countries have faced a growing number of suspected Russian attacks targeting military and critical…
France’s National Rally party reacted to the victory of Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party with a noticeable silence on Monday, a move that reflects its complicated ties to the party. Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella — who are respectively campaigning to be France’s next president and prime minister — made no mention of the AfD after the party took 43.8% of votes in Saxony-Anhalt’s elections, racing ahead of Christian Democratic Union, Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s party, which secured 17.2%. Meanwhile, the Reconquête party — which is positioned further to the right than the National Rally and sits in…
Ratko Mladić, the Bosnian Serb commander convicted by a UN court of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, was buried in Belgrade on Monday before a crowd of thousands, despite renewed warnings from Brussels against glorifying him — warnings Serbia’s government continues to reject. Prior to the funeral, Mladić’s body lay in state since Monday morning at the Serb Orthodox Church of St Luke in Belgrade, where thousands arrived early to honour him, despite being found guilty of the worst bloodbath on European soil since World War II. His military officer’s cap and sabre rested on the coffin, which…
In Champagne, growers reaped their earliest harvest on record, racing to pick grapes before rising sugar levels pushed potential alcohol too high. Output there is expected to be roughly halved, with grape bunch weights at their lowest in 20 years. In southern France’s Languedoc-Roussillon wine region, by contrast, production is forecast to rebound 5 percent from last year’s weak harvest, which was about 13 percent below the five-year average. Even with that recovery, output this year remains 8 percent below average. Conditions had initially looked promising, with good grape development and low disease pressure. But “the hot and dry conditions…
The opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not represent in any way the editorial position of Euronews. Reverence for the dead runs exceptionally deep among the peoples of the Balkans. Religious differences have set them against one another many times over the centuries, yet Balkan Christians, Catholic and Orthodox alike, as well as Muslims, all regard respect for the dead as a defining part of their identity. History has often shaped and sustained this tradition, but we should not look to history for an alibi for our own mistakes. History, after all, is made…
By Babak Kamiar & Euronews Persian Published on 07/09/2026 – 17:41 GMT+2 The UN’s nuclear watchdog said Iran had provided no information about its declared nuclear materials or facilities and that inspectors had no on-site verification access, as Tehran threatened retaliation against South Korea if Seoul joined Gulf maritime operations and Iran’s parliament speaker warned US energy assets across regional waters faced reciprocal strikes. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi told the agency’s Board of Governors that Iran was not meeting its Non-Proliferation Treaty safeguards obligations and called for constructive engagement to restore full oversight. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei dismissed the IAEA…
POLITICO a révélé la semaine dernière que le gouvernement avait coupé 40 millions d’euros du plan d’urgence pour adapter des milliers d’écoles aux canicules. L’exécutif a-t-il déjà perdu toute ambition en matière écologique après l’été le plus chaud jamais enregistré en France ? Anthony Lattier en discute avec Aude Le Gentil, journaliste au service Energie et climat de POLITICO, dans le podcast Playbook Paris.
In Berlin, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz appeared before the press on Monday, together with the CDU’s lead candidate in Saxony-Anhalt, Sven Schulze. “Yesterday’s result has changed not only Saxony-Anhalt, but Germany as a whole,” Merz said following Sunday’s state election results. “We are all profoundly shocked. We did not expect it to turn out like this.” The far-right, anti-immigration AfD party won the election by a landslide, taking 43.8% of the vote. The CDU came in a distant second with 17.2%. Compared with the 2021 state election, the AfD more than doubled its vote share, while the CDU saw its…
