The EU is investing €115 million, under AGILE, into AI, drones, robotics, quantum, and cybersecurity. The science in Europe is world-class. The problem is deployment, Europe cannot weaponise its breakthroughs at speed. This is the blunt conclusion of new BCG research with General Lavigne, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Transformation. The debate is no longer about innovation, it’s about deployment. “The Europeans have by far the most advanced publication and fundamental research, but the US, for the same technologies are much more advanced when it comes to patents and then obviously also to deployment,” says Nikolaus Lang, senior partner at…
Authorities said military divers and emergency teams reached Francisco Zapata Nájera after pumping water from flooded galleries at the Santa Fe mine, which collapsed on 25 March. President Claudia Sheinbaum called the rescue “incredible”, while officials confirmed that two other workers had died and that one miner had earlier been brought out alive. The survival of a worker after almost two weeks underground brought rare relief in one of Mexico’s most dangerous industries. The collapse was linked to a structural failure that reportedly caused water to flood the mine, trapping four men while 21 others escaped. Rescue crews worked day…
Route 66 in the United States – the legendary highway stretching around 3,940 kilometres from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California – is turning 100 this year, marking a milestone for what remains one of the world’s most iconic road trips. Often dubbed the “Mother Road” by author John Steinbeck, the route has evolved from a lifeline for Dust Bowl migrants in the 1930s into the quintessential American drive. While faster highways now connect the country’s major cities, Route 66 continues to draw travellers with its glowing neon signs, retro diners and restored motels. Each stop along the route offers…
Published on 09/04/2026 – 9:28 GMT+2 Aaaah, Björk… She makes some of the most visceral and gloriously eccentric music around. She once stated she was grateful for grapefruit (I mean, who isn’t?). She’s been chased by a teddy bear in one of her videos (‘Human Behaviour’ in case you’re interested). She once wore a literal swan dress to Cannes… The list goes on, and while this isn’t about listing the strangest things the pop-polymath has done, at this point nothing should surprise you when it comes to the Icelandic songstress. So, what’s the most Björk thing to do during a…
L’urgence d’investir pour la santé des FrançaisTensions géopolitiques et guerre des prix, perte de vitesse de nos essais cliniques, décrochage industriel, médicaments non remboursés ou non disponibles… Les Français expriment une réelle inquiétude pour l’avenir de leur santé. Ce qu’ils attendent, c’est une France qui les protège, qui les guérit, qui leur permet de vieillir mieux. Pour cela, il est urgent de débloquer l’accès au progrès thérapeutique. L’inaction coûte plus cher à toute la société et la recapitalisation du médicament ne doit plus être un tabou : elle doit être posée dans l’espace public comme une question de société. Maintenant.…
Published on 09/04/2026 – 8:30 GMT+2 Former US ambassador to NATO, Ivo Daalder, said repeated threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to withdraw from NATO, as well as confrontations with America’s European allies over their refusal to join the war, have created the ‘worst crisis’ NATO has ever faced. “The last six weeks have been extraordinarily damaging to NATO,” Daalder told Euronews’ Shona Murray. “We see a divided NATO, which has been the goal of first the Soviet Union and then Russia for the better part of 80 years,” he said. Daalder said Trump’s statements suggesting the U.S. might not…
Rescue workers were still searching for survivors and bodies on Thursday morning in neighbourhoods including Tallet El Khayat, where apartment blocks and shops were reduced to rubble. The bombardment came only hours after a ceasefire was announced in the US-Iran conflict, shattering hopes in Beirut that the wider region might be moving towards calm. Israel said the truce did not apply to its war with Hezbollah and described the operation as its largest coordinated strike of the current conflict, saying more than 100 targets were hit within 10 minutes across Beirut, southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley. Residents said there…
Despite the major fall in oil prices after the US and Iran confirmed a two-week-long ceasefire, Europe may not yet breathe a sigh of relief due to the long-lasting impact of energy supplies on which the bloc heavily relies. The Iran war and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz have triggered the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). The strikes on Gulf facilities are expected to have a multi-year impact on gas supply. Europe is significantly affected, even though it sources only a small share…
L’ancien ministre est toujours obsédé par la question de la “réinvention du modèle politique” et assume de dire, dix ans après l’élection d’un président même pas quadragénaire, qu’une expérience aussi longue que la sienne — depuis 2006, il a été directeur de cabinet à Matignon, député, conseiller régional, ministre sous Nicolas Sarkozy de 2008 à 2012 puis encore de 2017 à 2024 — ferait de lui l’un des mieux armés pour y répondre. “Je ne suis pas né avec Macron”, rappelle-t-il ainsi régulièrement, “je suis né sous Chirac”. Pas question, dès lors, de faire mine de se désintéresser de l’élection…
By Danylo Hetmantsev, Chair of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy Published on 09/04/2026 – 8:14 GMT+2 The opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not represent in any way the editorial position of Euronews. Ukraine’s European integration is no longer defined by political declarations. It is increasingly a question of fiscal capacity. In the context of Russia’s war, a deep budget deficit and large-scale external support, public finances have become a key indicator of whether the country is ready to operate under EU rules. Ukraine’s post-war recovery is already shaping up…
