Published on 27/05/2026 – 8:12 GMT+2 Artificial intelligence has made it easier to write emails, generate spreadsheets and plan holidays, as the widespread popularity of the various AI models can attest. It has also, according to a recent Google report, made it considerably easier to figure out previously unmapped or impossible-to-predict gaps in the software of our systems. Google’s Threat Intelligence Group said it had for the first time caught hackers using AI to discover and exploit a so-called zero-day vulnerability, or a security flaw the software’s developer does not yet know exists and for which no fix is available.…

INTCEN has no operational espionage capabilities of its own; instead, it analyzes intelligence shared voluntarily by EU countries and passes its assessments to senior officials in the EEAS, the Commission and the European Council. The renewed attention lends fresh weight to a unit often dismissed as toothless — and comes as officials in Brussels and national capitals have floated the question of whether the EU needs its own spy agency. The EU’s new European Security Strategy, which is being drafted by the Commission and the EEAS, should be published this summer. It is expected to use an expansive definition of…

When you think about craft beer in Europe, certain cities spring to mind. London, Munich, Brussels and Prague… all big hitters that have dominated the conversation for years. You probably aren’t thinking about Sofia, especially given it’s part of a region better known for its rakia. In fact, Bulgaria’s beer scene only dates back to the mid-19th century when the beverage was introduced by immigrants – but that hasn’t stopped the country climbing the ranks to become 14th in the world for beer consumption per capita, according to a Kirin Beer University Report. On a recent visit to Sofia, I…

Brussels is beefing up its intelligence machinery. Zoya Sheftalovich and Kathryn Carlson talk about the growing role of INTCEN — the EU’s little-known intelligence-analysis hub inside the European External Action Service — and the quiet power struggle brewing between Kaja Kallas’ diplomatic service and Ursula von der Leyen’s Commission over who gets to handle sensitive security information in Brussels. Then: the Greens in the European Parliament are facing an identity crisis, as one of their biggest national parties considers defecting to the Socialists and Democrats — and why Bas Eickhout’s dramatic departure matters far beyond one relationship scandal. And finally:…

Whether you call them French fries, chips or frites, they are more than a staple of European food culture. Across the continent, they remain the most popular potato-based dish, with up to 42 percent of consumers in countries such as France and the Netherlands naming them as their favorite according to McCain’s SPUD Report.  Recent findings from this report, based on more than 12,000 consumers across 11 countries, highlight how deeply embedded potatoes (and fries) are in daily life across Europe. Seventy-one percent of French respondents even said that fries are a must-have on a restaurant menu when eating out. But behind every fry…

A RT France, Fedorova dirige une rédaction constituée de journalistes français. Si son niveau de français rudimentaire, du moins au début, ne lui permet pas de contrôler étroitement le contenu des sujets, elle est en revanche très attentive au profil des invités, se souvient le rédacteur en chef déjà cité. Alors que les négociations sur le départ du Royaume-Uni de l’UE battent leur plein, les contributeurs conviés à s’exprimer sur le sujet devaient ainsi “être des gens qui défendaient le Brexit”, sujet qui fait l’objet d’une attention particulière, raconte la même source. Les aventures du média russes s’arrêtent avec l’invasion de l’Ukraine. Mais celles de Xenia Fedorova se poursuivent, cette…
