Images of María del Carmen Abascal, known as Maricarmen, being evicted from her home in Madrid have become the latest symbol of Spain’s housing crisis. The 87-year-old woman had been renting the property for around 70 years. According to the Madrid Tenants’ Union, following a change of ownership there was a proposed rent increase from about 500 euros to 2,650 euros a month, later reduced to 1,650. After several attempts to halt the process, Maricarmen was evicted and later taken to hospital. The case triggered protests that quickly spread beyond Madrid.

Artificial intelligence is moving beyond generating text, images and answers. Now, developers are trying to get AI to carry out tasks on a user’s behalf. That shift to autonomous or “agentic AI” was a central theme at the Google Cloud Summit in Doha, where the company marked three years since opening its cloud infrastructure in Qatar. Generative AI creates content in response to a prompt. AI agents go further, working through the steps needed to complete a task. “Generative AI effectively is where you use AI through large language models to create net new content,” Alex Rutter, Managing Director of…
The comments were allegedly made mostly in 2013, when Bardella was 17 and shortly after he had joined the National Rally, whose presidential candidate Marine Le Pen is the front-runner in next year’s election. “At a time when the victory of our ideas has never been so close, a certain activist press is ready to orchestrate smear operations to destabilize the presidential campaign and attack my honor,” Bardella said. During a visit to a construction industry event Monday, Le Pen called the Mediapart report “insanity.” The National Rally’s predecessor, the National Front, was founded in part by Nazi collaborators.

By Alessio Dell’Anna & video by Maud Zaba Published on 28/09/2026 – 17:17 GMT+2 A new EU proposal, the KIDS Act, could ban children under 13 from using social media and limit features for those aged 13 to 15.

The vast majority of EU citizens (91%)…
Ukrainian forces have delivered around 4 tonnes of food to the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky in the Kherson region by drone in one of the largest such operations of the war, as roughly 2,000 remaining residents face what international organisations have described as a worsening humanitarian catastrophe. Oleshky has been under Russian occupation since the early days of Moscow’s full-scale invasion in February 2022. No food has reached the city through regular channels since May of this year, according to ground reports. Meanwhile, Russian forces are blocking civilians from evacuating and actively obstructing drone deliveries. Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the…
