Jadallah Masran is 86 years old. Every morning at dawn, he leaves his tent in a displacement camp in eastern Al-Bureij and joins the queue at the nearest bakery. As an older person, he used to have bread brought to him, but now he has to queue for it. “All that comes is pasta, beans and lentils,” Masran told Euronews. “They used to bring bread but stopped completely.” “I’m an old man. Every day at 5:30 in the morning I go stand in line to get a loaf of bread instead of having it delivered to the tent,” he said.…
Merz’ Pekinger Spagat – wer spricht für Deutschland in China? – POLITICO Skip to main content
US President Donald Trump met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Friday for a second day of talks, concluding his state visit to China that has so far resulted in a Chinese offer to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but also a warning from Beijing that mishandling Taiwan could spark conflict. On Friday, Trump visited the Zhongnanhai leadership compound next to Beijing’s Forbidden City, where he will have tea and lunch with Xi before travelling back to Washington. “Hopefully our relationship with China will be stronger and better than ever before,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that Xi…
Bolton, who was also U.S. ambassador to the United Nations for President George W. Bush, was unimpressed. “He is wrong,” he retorted. “He (Albares) has also spoken about the need for a European Union army — to which all I can say is good luck with that. “It’s not like Europe is filled with strong political leaders at the moment, or that the capability exists that they can handle a number of crises entirely on their own. It was a key Soviet goal during the Cold War to split the NATO alliance, and one reason among many that that didn’t work…
Yes, someone spent more than €25,000 on a gray scooter (a Piaggio MP3 125, to be precise) on which the former French president’s warm buttocks were pressed as he traversed the traffic in Paris. Hollande’s romantic life was a big deal back in 2015 when Closer magazine exposed his affair with the actress. A picture splashed on the cover showed Hollande, who was then in a relationship with journalist Valérie Trierweiler, wearing a rather silly-looking helmet (from an aesthetic standpoint, not a safety one!). The French press went into a frenzy, relishing the salacious detail of a security agent delivering…
With Keir Starmer fighting for his political life after the most perilous week of his premiership, the prime minister and his inner circle have been engaged in a desperate rearguard effort to shore up his position. This week on Westminster Insider, host Patrick Baker lifts the lid on what life is really like inside Number 10 when a Prime Minister and their shrinking band of loyal advisers enter what Westminster knows as “bunker mode.” Boris Johnson’s former aide Ross Kempsell sets out his “rules for the bunker” — such as ensuring you have a highly political Chief Whip and tightly controlling…

Riga is scrambling to restore public trust and secure its fragile airspace. On Thursday last week, several drones entered Latvian airspace over the picturesque towns of Balvi and Ludza, near the country’s eastern flank and roughly an hour’s drive west of Russia. The Latvian Defence Ministry issued a statement in the hours following the event, stating that two of the unnamed aerial vehicles had crashed while another caused a brief fire at an oil depot. No one was injured, but residents said they only received a text warning them of the drones 60 minutes after the incident occurred. Latvia’s political…
After days of false starts, red herrings, a vicious briefing war by all sides and a concerted fightback by Starmer, his MPs believe the competing routes to oust him are now becoming clearer. The prime minister could cling on for at least a month or two. If he does not choose to set out a timetable himself, he could face one or both of two rivals: the Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, and the centrist former Health Secretary Wes Streeting, whose desire to launch an immediate challenge sputtered out Thursday. Waiting in the wings is Starmer’s former deputy Angela Rayner,…
Updated: 14/05/2026 – 15:03 GMT+2 The EU must realise that “it’s difficult to survive” if it does not speak with one voice, Michael Bloss, a Greens MEP, tells Euronews. He made the comments off the back of US President Donald Trump visiting China to speak with President Xi Jinping about a raft of issues that could impact the bloc. … More
