Poland has changed dramatically over the past three decades. Once seen as one of Europe’s poorer economies, it is now among the EU’s fastest-growing countries, and its economic weight is increasingly being felt across Europe. But is this model sustainable? The country is trying to maintain rapid growth while dealing with a large budget deficit, high defence spending and pressure to modernise its economy. That is the central question of this special edition of The Ring, broadcast from Warsaw, featuring two Members of the European Parliament: Michał Szczerba, from the centre-right European People’s Party, and Michał Kobosko, from the liberal…
US President Donald Trump again referred on Tuesday to his decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico as ‘Gulf of America’ and mocked Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum’s reaction, according to his account. Speaking at an event with members of the US Navy in Baltimore, Trump said that Sheinbaum had called him to ask him not to alter the name. The president re-enacted the alleged conversation in front of those present and said he had told the Mexican leader that the decision was already made. “It was a slightly tricky moment when I did that. I received a call from the…
Specifically, the Patriots are contesting elections in which the chairs and vice-chairs of parliamentary committees were selected after the 2024 EU election. Those jobs were filled through voting in secret ballots. The group is also questioning the composition of the Parliament’s international delegations, saying its lawmakers were kept away from key roles. Lawyers for the Patriots — home of France’s National Rally, Spain’s Vox and Hungary’s Fidesz, among others — said its MEPs being kept from top committee jobs was a “categorical exclusion” and it was “not acceptable” for the Parliament’s third-largest party to be locked out of these positions. The Patriots…

Published on 06/10/2026 – 8:45 GMT+2•Updated 18:25 Diesel will once again cost €0.61 more per litre from Tuesday, after the expiry at midnight of the latest tax discount on fuel. In the absence of the ministerial decree due to be published in the Official Gazette, the much-heralded mechanism of “accise mobili” remains on hold. Filling up at the pump is officially more expensive, marking the complete end of fuel tax cuts for the first time since last March, when the first decree was adopted in the wake of the outbreak of the conflict between the United States and Iran. Despite…
Luxury car manufacturer Jaguar unveiled its first new model since its controversial rebrand two years ago at a flashy New York launch party attended by actress and new company ambassador Florence Pugh, in a bid to win over younger, richer and mostly American audience. The luxury four-door GT Type01EV is Jaguar’s first foray in the electric vehicle (EV) market. Its ultra-modern, brutalist, sharp-edged design is a massive shift from its previously quintessential British elegance. The radical design is an attempt by Jaguar’s hierarchy to shake off its previously antiquated albeit storied legacy that started as being a car for racing…
BIRMINGHAM, England — Kemi Badenoch used her rare moment in the spotlight Wednesday to promise “a fight coming in British politics; a fight that we have not seen in this country for more than half a century.” Britain’s opposition Conservative leader, speaking at the close of her party’s annual conference in Birmingham, started as she meant to go on. She attacked Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s Labour Party and her right-wing rivals, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. It was a speech more about positioning the Tories in a five-party system than about policy. What little she did announce was also about positioning.…
