US President Donald Trump warned on Thursday that Iran will be “hit very hard” if it is found to be linked to a pilot’s attack on a flydubai flight to Israel. The dramatic events a day earlier saw passengers help stop the plane from crashing, making an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia before the flight’s mostly Israeli passengers were flown home to a hero’s welcome. Trump’s warning came as the United Arab Emirates opened an investigation into whether the incident was linked to terrorism and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the suspect had undergone “Islamist radical indoctrination.” “I would…
AI is rapidly becoming part of daily life, and demand for data centres is rising too. As of 2025, the US remained the clear global leader in data centres, with more than twice the EU total. At the same time, the European Commission aims to strengthen Europe’s sovereignty and competitiveness in the AI and cloud ecosystem. Data from global hiring platform Indeed show that data centre job postings are rising in Europe. As of August 2026, they were above pre-pandemic levels across 10 European economies, while postings for other tech roles and overall job postings were lagging behind data centre…

Meet Europe’s heat pump: In the North Atlantic, a vast system of swirling currents hauls warm water from the tropics toward Europe, keeping the continent’s climate in a Goldilocks zone — neither too cold nor too hot, just right. This heat pump, known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), helps ensure European cities enjoy warmer winters than those in the same latitudes elsewhere — think Madrid and New York City. Enter climate change: The AMOC has run reliably for millennia. But this is about to change as humans continue heating the planet. Increased rainfall driven by climate change and freshwater from…
The Spanish pensioner’s ordeal put Europe’s housing crisis back in the spotlight. So what happens when landlords want their property back? The reality is that owners can still terminate the contract with the tenant ahead of schedule if they want, but with a few caveats and important differences depending on where you live in Europe. In general, if tenants are paying regularly, landlords need an important and legally recognised reason, such as if they are selling the property; they need it for themselves or close relatives; or, in some cases, if the house needs major renovation. No force majeure is…

An unpublished letter by Miguel de Unamuno has, 90 years on, confirmed a remarkable meeting in London between the Spanish writer and H. G. Wells, author of science-fiction classics such as ‘The War of the Worlds’ and ‘The Time Machine’. The document has been found in the archive of the Unamuno House-Museum at the University of Salamanca. It is a letter sent by Unamuno to his children on 2 March 1936 from London, in which he explains that he had dinner with Wells and that the two of them went to the cinema afterwards. The two writers attended a screening…
It wasn’t the first time such an improvised explosive had been discovered on European soil. Almost two years earlier, on Aug. 20, 2024, police investigators arrived at a cemetery in Kaunas, Lithuania, with a bomb disposal team. They had received a highly sensitive tip from Poland concerning explosives and a Ukrainian man alleged to have deposited them there for Russian intelligence, according to investigation files from the Lithuanian Criminal Police Bureau. At a weathered grave, beneath artificial flowers and concrete slabs, officers recovered a plastic bag containing two tin cans. According to their labels, they contained corn. Forensic analysis, however,…
Severe problems in many parts of the Greek island of Crete have been caused by the powerful wave of bad weather that has been under way since Wednesday night. The situation is particularly difficult in the mountainous Mylopotamos area, where the deluge has created serious disruption, mainly in Zoniana, Livadia and Axos. In Zoniana, water entered homes, roads were flooded and in many places debris has been swept onto the carriageway. Crews from the Municipality of Mylopotamos and the Region of Crete have been working since the early hours, using machinery to restore access and tackle the damage. At the…
