The test of that plan comes in six months, when the European Commission will meet with the Canadian government to see what progress has been made. One diplomat involved in the talks, granted anonymity to speak freely, said the meeting, which will be held in March before next year’s EU-Canada summit in Brussels, should make clear how far the relationship can develop and whether Ottawa is really on track for associate membership. In the months ahead, there will be plenty of issues that could distract EU leaders. Governments must negotiate the bloc’s next seven-year budget, amid deep divisions over its…

It’s almost impossible to believe, but 25 years ago in November, the first Harry Potter film, “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”, was released. Alongside all the magic and mayhem, there was another icon on the screen: The Hogwarts Express train, portrayed in the film by the GWR 4900 Class No. 5972 Olton Hall steam locomotive. Harry Potter and his wizarding chums walked through a wall at King’s Cross station in London and boarded a train into another world and made history. While the magic we saw onscreen was very much fictional, the journey the Hogwarts students made – and…

Friedrich Merz steht vor einer heiklen Mission:Der CDU-Chef trifft auf die Kreisvorsitzenden und damit auf die teils kritischsten offiziellen Stimmen seiner Partei. Nach schmerzhaften Wahlniederlagen prallen Hauptstadt-Blase und Parteibasis aufeinander. Rasmus Buchsteiner analysiert, wie viel Druck hinter verschlossenen Türen auf dem Kanzler lastet und ob er das Vertrauen der eigenen Leute zurückgewinnen kann. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview macht Serap Güler, Kölner CDU-Kreisvorsitzende und Staatsministerin im Auswärtigen Amt, klare Ansagen an die Parteispitze.

US President Donald Trump round up his midterm campaign efforts on Sunday, holding rallies in Iowa and Kansas, while divisions emerged among Democrats in Michigan, threatening to undermine their effort to retake the Senate. The president was in Salina, Kansas, and Dubuque, Iowa, where Republicans are facing strong competition from Democratic candidates in both states. However in Iowa, Trump insisted Republicans are on the verge of sweeping victories. “We’re going to elect ‘America first’ Republicans up and down the line,” he said near the start of a speech that lasted two hours. Trump later travelled to Kansas, where Air Force…

The jet lag has barely worn off, but Brussels is already grappling with what its new relationship with Canada could actually look like. After the 48-hour whirlwind EU-Canada summit in Montreal, Prime Minister Mark Carney has given the EU six months to hash out what “associate membership” actually means. On the show, Zoya Sheftalovich and Nick Vinocur unpack the deals struck at the summit and what lies ahead for the relations between the two powers. Next, after last month’s unwieldy European Council summit drew criticism of its president, Antonio Costa, he’s doubling down on his push to secure a budget…

Kimi Antonelli became Formula One’s youngest world champion as he drove his Mercedes to a 16th podium finish at the Mexico Grand Prix on Sunday. The 20-year-old Italian driver finished in third place behind Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton. “I’m still trying to realise and understand what just happened, when you work so hard and then you finally achieve it is truly special,” Antonelli said. The Italian driver was joined by his parents and younger sister. “All the emotions come, to be able to witness this moment with my family is a moment I will always remember”.…

That unpopularity has led to speculation that Hegseth could be out after an electoral blowout for Trump, partially because a Democrat-led Congress would slap Hegseth with probes into his firing of dozens of generals and admirals with no cause, and the faltering war with Iran. Those hearings and investigations would hamstring Hegseth and his team, and could prove embarrassing for the administration. If Hegseth does move on, there would be a transition period in the Pentagon which could push any decisions about moving U.S. troops out of Europe back by weeks or months. In theory, a Democrat majority in the…
