After examination of the vehicles, authorities found no improvised explosive devices, but police said they recovered “a quantity of petrol.” The men were later released on bail but remain under investigation. Counter Terrorism Policing are leading the investigation into any potential motivation behind the incident. Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor, Head of Counter Terrorism Policing, said on Monday that “every possible angle” was being investigated, including “that this may be activity committed by proxies, or individuals either knowingly or unknowingly, working on behalf of a foreign state.” Burnham’s comments came after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed that the RAF…
Europe’s carmakers rely on a narrow group of countries, suppliers and processing hubs for the chips, magnets and metals their vehicles need, and that dependence is the biggest supply-chain risk facing automotive manufacturing in the bloc, a new study found. The analysis, carried out by the Czech and German arms of consultancy EY at the request of the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) and published on Tuesday, scored ten critical materials and components against six factors that could constrain supply. Concentration of supply scored highest, at 4.6 on a five-point scale. Five inputs stood out as the most vulnerable: semiconductors,…

Rutte’s unusually strong remarks underscore the growing tensions between Moscow and NATO countries as hybrid attacks and Russian-linked sabotage proliferate across Europe. In recent days, Russia’s embassy in Belgium sent NATO a note alleging the alliance was displaying “reckless and irresponsible” behavior near its Kaliningrad exclave, following alliance exercises involving several reconnaissance planes, ground forces and fighter jets near the region, which is between Poland and Lithuania, last month. “We have emphasised that Russia possesses the necessary means to repel any potential aggression and is prepared to deploy its entire arsenal to defend its territory should NATO countries attempt to…
Published on 30/09/2026 – 17:30 GMT+2 A Brussels debate over a European preference in defence contracts ignores a basic problem: Europe’s defence industry cannot produce enough, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte told Euronews on Wednesday. “The problem is not: do you buy in Europe or do you buy it in the United States? The problem is: can you buy? The money is there. But the defense industrial base in Europe is underdeveloped. It is not producing enough,” Rutte said at the Euronews Defence & Space Summit in Brussels on Wednesday. In recent months, the EU has debated whether to favour…
Published on 30/09/2026 – 16:47 GMT+2 Qatar has condemned what it called the military escalation against Ethiopia’s federal forces, while the United Arab Emirates has voiced support for the Ethiopian government amid renewed fighting in the country’s north.

It called for an immediate end to the fighting, protection for civilians and respect for the Pretoria Peace Agreement between Tigray and Ethiopia. The Qatari statement did not name the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) or the new alliance of armed groups…
BMW shares rose by more than 3% in the early afternoon in Europe on Wednesday as investors digested the German carmaker’s latest recovery plans, shared with investors and analysts at its two-day Capital Market Day event on Tuesday and Wednesday. This comes as German carmakers try to rebuild profitability amid the costs of the shift to electric vehicles, global supply disruptions, high energy prices and fierce competition from Chinese rivals. BMW plans to improve profitability by simplifying its model range, shortening development times and working more closely with suppliers. BMW also outlined plans to cut the number of divisions and…
‘We’ll wait for concrete proposals’ EU officials and diplomats, however, told POLITICO that behind the scenes the speech had been received positively in the European capital. “The mood is positive and commitment to have a good summit is definitely there,” said one EU official, who like others in this article was granted anonymity to speak candidly. “There is a lot of work ongoing to prepare for it.” Diplomats say that reaction among other EU member countries has also so far been broadly positive — if somewhat wary. One EU diplomat wondered aloud whether Burnham’s grand about-face would undermine the rationale…
Published on 30/09/2026 – 16:13 GMT+2 NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has told Euronews there is no immediate threat to the alliance’s territory, adding that he does not take Russia’s nuclear threats seriously because Moscow could never win a confrontation with NATO. “We have prepared for this, we have planned for this, and this is true for the whole of NATO,” Rutte said at the Euronews Defence & Space Summit in Brussels on Wednesday. “We will defend every inch of NATO territory. That threat is not there, and if anything happens, we are ready to counter it.” His remarks follow…
