The potato field is a reference to an adjacent agricultural plot to which the school hopes to move its sports facilities. The current facilities will have to make way for more containers, as the school is expected to continue growing. But unless something changes quickly, the school will have to stop enrolling pupils by 2028. The European School Frankfurt is part of a network of schools backed by the European Commission, set up so that the children of officials in EU institutions around the bloc can access a guaranteed standard of education in a language suitable for them, free of…

PARIS — Former European Commissioner Pierre Moscovici told colleagues on Wednesday that he will leave his post as the first president of France’s Court of Auditors before his term is meant to conclude at the end of 2026, according to four financial magistrates. Moscovici is expected to leave the job by the end of this year and could be headed to Luxembourg to sit on the European Court of Auditors, replacing French member François-Roger Cazala, according to the magistrates, who were granted anonymity to speak candidly. Libération was the first to report the 68-year-old was considering leaving his post early. Reached for…
In return, the British government has banked some apparent successes, including a deal for lower tariffs on some U.K. exports and Trump’s description of Starmer as a “good man.” While state visits are always the subject of a painstaking planning operation, this one has been given even more care and attention, as No. 10 is keenly aware of what it has to lose. A former aide to No.10 said: “We made big early wins in our relationship with the White House — and they were real wins — but we have to press that home now.” Catherine, Princess of Wales…
After yesterday’s pomp and pageantry at Windsor, today the US president gets down to business, meeting with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at Chequers. Sam and Anne look at what’s on the agenda and what the leaders might be forced to talk about, ranging from the recognition of a Palestinian state to their nations’ associations with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Away from the state visit, Sam has some intel on government exercises and more on the dynamics between the PM and his chief of staff.
America’s left and right are both guilty of talking in bad faith and not listening to each other as they seek to score points. In fact, talking is making things much worse. Moderate appeals for unity and calm, including from former President Barack Obama and Utah’s Republican Governor Spencer Cox, are struggling to be heard above the clamor. A Red Scare-style retribution is in the air now. As each battling side fails to see humanity in the other, a political doom loop of deepening political polarization, partisan anger and political violence seems to beckon — and Europe likely won’t be…
At an elite yacht club on the southern edge of Kyiv, prosecco sprayed from a fountain as a live band played pop classics. European diplomats mingled with Ukrainian ministry officials and the owners of some of the country’s largest farms. This was a reception hosted by UCAB, Ukraine’s biggest agribusiness lobby, providing a gilded day of meaty dishes, strong spirits and relentless networking. The spectacle was as much about politics as farming, a show of survival, clout and ambition after three years of war. Even Ukraine’s agri barons have been battered, losing swathes of leased land and infrastructure to occupation and bombardment.…
US President Donald Trump praised the “priceless and eternal” US-UK alliance and paid tribute to the royal family during a state banquet on Wednesday evening, calling the visit “one of the highest honours” of his life as he embraced a day full of British royal pageantry. Trump said the word “special” hardly does justice to the relationship between the transatlantic allies. He described them as two verses of the same poem, beautiful on their own but really meant to be played together. He also said they have done more good for humanity than any two countries in all of history.”…

Der Druck auf Europas Finanzen steigt: Die Ukraine braucht im kommenden Jahr vermutlich über 100 Milliarden Euro für den Krieg, während die USA sich zurückziehen. Hans von der Burchard analysiert die Verhandlungen der EU-Finanzminister über eingefrorene russische Assets jetzt am Wochenende und die Buchungstricks von Ursula von der Leyen. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview fordert Anton Hofreiter die sofortige Beschlagnahmung der Vermögen und…
For Humpert, the impact may be bigger than shipping schedules. “The Arctic is the first region where climate change is changing the geopolitical map. If we didn’t have climate change, we wouldn’t be talking. Russia would not be producing oil and gas in the Arctic. China would not be sending container ships through the Arctic.” “It’s the first large region on the globe where climate change is rapidly and actively changing the geopolitical dynamics — because of resources, access to shipping routes, and because a new region is suddenly accessible.” Playing the long game For now, global trade flows through…
