Italian Civil Protection officials say the ground remains unstable and further collapse is possible. Rubble from homes already destroyed lies at the bottom of the cliff, and authorities warn another section of land could give way, putting more buildings at risk. Drones and satellite images are being used to monitor the red zone and track the speed of the landslide. Police patrol nearly empty streets as emergency crews remain on standby.

Published on 29/01/2026 – 18:32 GMT+1 The European Union has begun considering a new proposal to ban the entry of Russian soldiers who have fought in the war in Ukraine, fearing security risks. The plan, which is still in under development, was put up for discussion by Estonia during a meeting of foreign affairs ministers on Thursday. “We have close to one million combatants in Russia.

Meet “Teflon Mark.” He was the longest-serving Dutch prime minister because absolutely nothing sticks to him. Rutte went from riding a bicycle in The Hague during his premiership to flying constantly across the Atlantic to put out NATO fires. Also, meet the pianist. Rutte gave up his dream of being a musician because he claimed he was not “good enough”. Yet he mastered a different instrument called…
