Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Wednesday unveiled a new government AI tool that will rank social media sites based on how much hate speech they host. “If hate is already dangerous, social networks have turned it into a weapon of mass polarization that ends up seeping into everyday life,” Sánchez said at an International Summit against Hate and Digital Harassment. “Today social networks are a failed state,” he said. The new system, known as HODIO, will analyze large volumes of publicly available activity on social media to measure the scale and spread of online hate speech. The data will…

That’s because the ECB almost doubled in size when it became the supervisor for the eurozone’s biggest banks back in 2014, and because the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) also set up in Frankfurt. They’re soon to be joined by the kids of employees at the freshly-established Anti-Money Laundering Agency, which will have a staff of over 400 by 2027. Student numbers are expected to rise further to over 2,200 by 2032. The news was welcomed by ECB President Christine Lagarde, who had previously raged against an “embarrassing” impasse that resulted in children having to study in “container…
“On envoie un signal de marché pour que les prix baissent”, a-t-il souligné à l’issue de la réunion du G7. Basée à Paris et créée après l’embargo pétrolier de 1973 pour permettre aux pays riches de coordonner leurs approvisionnements en pétrole et en gaz, l’AIE avait proposé cette mesure pour la première fois mardi en fin de journée, lors d’une réunion extraordinaire de tous ses membres tenue après celle des ministres de l’Energie du G7. Ces derniers jours, les prix du pétrole avaient grimpé à plus de 100 dollars le baril, l’Iran ayant tiré sur les infrastructures énergétiques des pays…
Spain is a member of the European Union, a 27-country bloc that operates a common trade policy, so any attempt to single out Madrid would create friction with other member states, like Germany, France and Italy. Mar 3 5 mins read
European Council President António Costa travelled to Baku on Wednesday to continue developing the European Union’s cooperation with Azerbaijan on defence, security and especially energy, as the escalating war in Iran grips the global energy markets with unforeseen consequences. Costa held talks with Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev and expressed the EU’s “full solidarity with the people of Azerbaijan,” following Iran’s attack on Azerbaijan’s exclave of Nakhchivan last week. Since the beginning of the Iran war, Azerbaijan has helped evacuate around 1,800 people from Iran to Azerbaijan, including EU nationals. “Let me extend my sincere appreciation for the assistance that Azerbaijan…
Portugal has ten new restaurants honoured with a Michelin star, with Fifty Seconds, by chef Rui Silvestre, winning its second star. The awards were presented at the third edition of the exclusively national gala, which took place in Funchal, Madeira, on Tuesday night.

1.500 Tage nach Beginn der russischen Invasion. Der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj empfängt Gordon Repinski in Kiew zu einem Gespräch. Mitten in der globalen Eskalation durch den Iran-Krieg warnt Selenskyj vor einem gefährlichen Fokus-Verlust des Westens. Er spricht über die bittere Erkenntnis, dass Patriot-Raketen nun im Nahen Osten statt über Kiew gebraucht werden, und seine Sorge, dass US-Präsident Donald Trump die Sanktionen gegen russisches Öl de facto aushebeln könnte. Selenskyj findet außerdem deutliche Worte für den ungarischen Premier Viktor Orbán. Er bezeichnet ihn offen als „Verbündeten Putins“ innerhalb der EU und wirft ihm Erpressung vor, weil Orbán die Freigabe von…
Published on 11/03/2026 – 13:06 GMT+1 History shows that when a home becomes a battlefield, people move toward safety and existing ties. So, where could they go? Currently, roughly 4 million Iranians live abroad, and most of them migrated during or after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. In Europe, Germany leads with over 300,000 Iranians, followed by Sweden and the UK, each home to around 100,000. In 2025, only 8,000 Iranians sought asylum in Europe – less than 1% of all applications. But with a population of 90 million, the EU Asylum Agency warns that even partial instability could trigger a…
POLITICO reported Wednesday that some Baltic and Nordic countries have a plan to give Ukraine enough money to keep it afloat through the first half of this year, even if Orbán maintains his veto. But when it comes to peace negotiations, Zelenskyy was clear that Trump’s influence will still be key. “We need negotiations. We support them,” Zelenskyy said in the interview. “We don’t trust Russia, but I think, and I trust that Americans really want to finish with this war. I hope that they will help us, but we need more pressure on Russia, not on me.” His comments…
