What will decide the vote?  While Denmark may have come together to resist the pressure from the White House, voters are most concerned about what’s happening at home. Ahead of the vote Danish parties debated a plethora of divisive issues, none of which proved decisive. A poll published by Epinion on Monday suggested almost one in five Danes still didn’t know who they’d vote for.   Everything suggests that Frederiksen’s center-left party, the Social Democrats, will prevail in the vote. Her big talking point has been the revival of a wealth tax that hasn’t been enforced in Denmark for 30 years, and whose reinstatement would thrill left-wing voters. But her main challenger, Deputy Prime Minister Troels Lund Poulsen, leader of the center-right…

The Trump administration will pay $1 billion (€860mn) to the French energy giant TotalEnergies SE to walk away from two US offshore wind leases as it ramps up its campaign against offshore wind and other renewable energy. TotalEnergies has agreed to what is essentially a refund of its leases for projects off the coasts of North Carolina and New York, and will invest the money in fossil fuel projects instead, according to their press statement. “Considering that the development of offshore wind projects is not in the country’s interest, we have decided to renounce offshore wind development in the United…

Si les relations entre le président et sa secrétaire générale n’étaient pas au beau fixe d’après deux sources internes, aucun signe avant-coureur ne laissait présager une telle décision. Celle-ci surprend d’autant plus que la nomination d’Aurélie Bretonneau, fin mars 2025, avait été validée par Richard Ferrand, tout juste installé à la tête du Conseil constitutionnel. Des tensions sur les ordonnances Entre les deux, des “divergences” ont toutefois émergé ces derniers mois, notamment “sur la place du droit”, d’après deux sources internes. Selon l’une d’elles, des tensions sont apparues à la fin de l’année dernière. Le gouvernement envisageait alors de recourir…

Iran launched a new wave of missiles against Israel early on Tuesday, hours after US President Donald Trump hailed “very good” talks to end the war despite Tehran denying any dialogue had taken place. Trump’s comments prompted a positive response from jittery markets and pushed oil prices down, and came ahead of a deadline he imposed for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz shipping lane or see the US “obliterate” its power plants. The US President then extended his deadline by five more days. Trump said his administration was speaking with an unidentified “top person”, while warning if talks…

The groups point to a range of alleged abusive practices, including limited transparency on ticket categories and seat allocation, a “variable pricing” system that can push prices higher over time, and the actual scarcity of tickets advertised from $60. “When you buy that ticket, you don’t actually know what you’re buying,” Armangau said. “It means attending the 2026 World Cup has become financially out of reach for most ordinary supporters,” she added, pointing to tickets to the final that now start at more than $4,000. Fans can also face additional costs, including resale fees of around 15 percent, according to…

In 2020, the EU launched its Methane Strategy, the first comprehensive plan to limit methane emissions across the energy, agriculture, and waste sectors. The strategy led to the adoption of the EU Methane Regulation (EUMR) in 2024. This forces fossil fuel companies operating in the EU, as well as gas importers, to monitor, report and detect methane leaks across their operations and supply chains. This reduces energy waste and ensures more gas reaches consumers rather than escaping into the atmosphere. But internal briefing documents and meeting records obtained exclusively by Euronews suggest that these vital standards may soon change. The…
