Jonathan Andic, the eldest of the Andic children, has told Mango employees that he is stepping down from his responsibilities as vice-president of the fashion company founded by his father Isak Andic. It follows him being charged last week with the suspected murder of his father. In an open letter to staff, however, he stated his intention to maintain his “family, social and business projects.” In December 2024, the Turkish-Catalan businessman fell, or was pushed, down a 100-metre embankment on the route to the Salnitre caves in Collbató, on the southern side of the Montserrat mountain range in Barcelona.

Melnis has since pledged to leave the military before parliament votes on the cabinet. He praised Melnis’ direct experience working with Ukraine, particularly…
Published on 26/05/2026 – 13:53 GMT+2 The document, dated May 15, was published 145-years after a former Pope Leo wrote his own warning of the advent of the 19th century industrial revolution. Pope Leo XIV used his encyclical – a document communicating the position of the Catholic Church to its 1.4 billion followers – to denounce the “culture of power” driving the AI race, especially in developing ever more sophisticated methods of remote warfare. So is there anyway way to salve the biggest technological advancement of the 21st century? Our correspondent Angela Skujins explains.
The 53-year-old pediatrician emerged as a figurehead in a wave of protests against the country’s political establishment, following the crash and a perceived cover-up by the authorities. She ultimately alienated many people, however, with comments that veered close to right-wing populism on topics such as abortion rights and relations with Turkey. “Her positions are very reminiscent of [Italy’s] 5Star Movement, but with a much stronger patriotic and nationalist slant and a focus on corruption,” Seriatos said. “While it started with moral capital and it seemed that many people would be receptive to what it had to say politically, she is…

By Hun Kim, Chief Partnerships Officer, of the AIIB (Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank), a multilateral development bank headquartered in Beijing Published on 26/05/2026 – 21:28 GMT+2 Digital infrastructure is the backbone of economic growth, but investment in this space has been uneven. Many developing economies are struggling to expand basic digital connectivity while preparing for the artificial intelligence era, resulting in a double digital divide: inadequate basic access for hundreds of millions, compounded by growing gaps in AI (Artificial Intelligence) readiness. Correlation between internet access and development levels Limited affordable broadband connectivity, unreliable digital services, insufficient access to essential devices, and…

For Kyiv, “there are no alternatives for the fast, merit-based, but full membership in the European Union,” Taras Kachka, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, said in an exclusive interview with Euronews. Earlier this month, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz pitched the idea that Ukraine could become an “associate member” of the EU before becoming a fully-fledged member state. Kachka rejected the idea, calling it “unacceptable if it is an alternative to full membership.” He stated that Ukraine needs a “fast, comprehensive, normal accession process that will end with the signing of a treaty of accession under…
Salvini’s comments are likely to heighten tensions between the Italian government and the Agnelli-Elkann family, the largest single shareholder in Ferrari and the global carmaker Stellantis. The controversial Luce — the first Ferrari model to be fully electric and to have five seats — immediately sparked outrage among purists in Italy. It also didn’t immediately convince investors, with Ferrari’s stock dropping by more than eight percent on Tuesday. The four-door Ferrari, branded as “the most comfortable Ferrari ever” — hardly an on-brand endorsement for a carmaker synonymous with speed, style and passion — was co-designed by Jony Ive, the former…
