When Dubai Design Week launched in 2015, it welcomed 30,000 visitors. A decade later, the festival has grown fivefold, yet director Natasha Carella is adamant that it remains “digestible on a human level.” This balance – between ambitious scale and intimate accessibility – defines much of her approach to one of the region’s most significant design gatherings. Running until 9 November 2025, the 11th edition brings together over 300 participants at Downtown Design, large-scale installations, and a growing roster of programming that deliberately sidesteps what Carella calls “buzzwords.” Instead, the festival is guided by three core principles: showcasing high-quality, original…

The parties formed a government just nine months ago, and the negotiations to cement a budget for the government’s term are intertwined with their coalition deal. De Wever nodded at the difficult talks in his statement to MPs. Clinching a budget deal is no easy task “in this complicated country,” he said, as it requires “five coalition parties from…
Europe was the second most significant hotspot for Islamophobic incidents in 2024, according to the latest annual Islamophobia report of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Islamophobia often takes the form of online hate, which is relatively high in Europe compared to other regions across the globe. “August and September witnessed a steady increase in Islamophobic manifestations, particularly in the United Kingdom, where debates over immigration policy intensified, and in Germany, where far-right demonstrations targeting Muslim communities gained momentum,” the OIC report said. Muslims represent the second-largest religious group in the EU, with around 26 million living in the bloc.…

As Uzbekistan marks the 120th anniversary of its trade union movement, attention has turned from commemoration to consolidation.

At a congress of the Federation of Trade Unions of Uzbekistan (FTUU), delegates from across the country joined international observers to assess progress in strengthening worker rights and social dialogue. All participants underlined that Uzbekistan’s labour landscape is experiencing a profound transformation, driven by a wave of legal and institutional reforms…

“First and foremost, I thought it was nice to meet the American ambassador. We’ve been waiting for him for a long time, and it’s good that he’s here. It’s important that we have a representative from Trump’s administration,” Rasmussen added.

Denmark has maintained that Greenland is not for sale. Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, and its residents are EU citizens. A…

Speaking in a one-on-one interview during Euronews’ enlargement summit in Brussels on Tuesday, Ivanović said: “If enlargement does not happen — not just with Montenegro but also with other candidate countries — then the very concept of the European Union loses its credibility: It’s not European, and it’s not a union anymore.” “For us, it will be a devastating situation (…) and it would be a…
