Germany last month imported 30,000 barrels of diesel from the U.S., according to Kpler. This year U.S. imports have so far accounted for about 18% of Germany’s imports, according to industry association en2x. The United Kingdom, the biggest importer of American diesel in Europe at 108,000 barrels last month according to Kpler, had a similar official line to Germany. “Forecourts in the U.K. are being supplied with petrol and diesel as normal and we have a diverse and resilient supply,” a U.K. government spokesperson said. But one British lawmaker wasn’t so sanguine. “If the U.S. restricts our supply of diesel…
A fire that broke out at a Starlink satellite communications station in central Poland overnight is being called an act of “sabotage,” the country’s digital affairs minister said on Thursday. “This act of sabotage was deliberately designed to disable the station…disrupting internet access for various institutions, including the Ukrainian army,” Krzysztof Gawkowski told Polish public broadcaster TVP Info, adding that the fire broke out late on Wednesday and that the station in Wola Krobowska was still operational. “There is much to suggest that we are dealing with an element of the next phase of hybrid warfare,” he added.

With peace returning to the region, Azerbaijan’s Udi Christians continue their centuries-old practice of pilgrimage and prayer at Karabakh’s historic Christian sites, as Azerbaijan showcases the preservation of religious sites whose historical identity remains contested. For local communities and officials, these sites mean more than religious practice, as they project the safeguarding of Christian identity in the region.

The initiative emerged after the singer’s reaction to the slogan “Free Palestine” voiced by rapper Macklemore during Ed Sheeran’s tour. In front of…
PARIS — Qui pour faire face à Marine Le Pen ?

The German government has called on the EU to open its planned “Made with Europe” rules to countries outside the bloc, according to a position paper obtained by Euronews, setting it up for a collision course with France. Berlin is leading the push for a more open-market approach to the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA), a draft EU law that would restrict public procurement — government contracts for goods such as steel, batteries and electric vehicles — to products and companies meeting minimum EU production requirements. Where the Commission’s original text favours “Made in Europe”, Berlin wants “Made with Europe”: rather…

On Thursday, Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet US President Donald Trump again, this time at the White House, four months after the two last saw each other in Beijing. The meeting comes with a backdrop that weighs particularly heavily on Latin America. In August, the White House published a report on trade transshipment, the shipment of Chinese goods through third countries to avoid tariffs, which flags more than 40 economies as risk points. Nine of them in Latin America or the Caribbean including Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Panama, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic. The “great transshipment…
Robotic arms are being used to carve complex sculptures from blocks of marble, guided by software that turns digital designs into precise instructions for the machines. The technology is being developed by Italian companies LITIX and ROBOTOR, which say it could make marble sculpture more accessible. “The goal is to be able to create something out of your idea, even if you don’t have the skill to do that,” says Giacomo Massari, founder and CEO of LITIX and ROBOTOR. A digital image can be converted into a 3D file before software generates the toolpaths used by the robot. The machine…
