Supporters across Paris packed bars and fan zones, singing La Marseillaise before spilling onto the streets waving French flags as the final whistle confirmed France’s place in the last four. In Foxborough, Massachusetts, French supporters praised their side’s disciplined performance, while Moroccan fans expressed disappointment but pride in their team’s campaign. After matching their historic run to the semi-finals in 2022, Morocco bowed out of the tournament following another 2-0 defeat to France. Kylian Mbappé broke the deadlock in the 60th minute after seeing an earlier penalty saved by Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou. Ousmane Dembélé doubled France’s advantage six minutes…
While I’m not necessarily opposed to a summer holiday, I do have a soft spot for travel in autumn and winter. Give me crisp cold air, red and yellow falling autumn leaves and the excuse to order a hot chocolate with marshmallows over sweltering sightseeing any day. Not to mention the milder climate, fewer queues and, sometimes, lower fares thanks to less demand after the summer. Luckily, travellers with similar tastes will soon have new options. Here’s what’s on the horizon this autumn and winter for new flight routes to and from Europe. Air Canada: Toronto-Tenerife and Montréal-Tenerife Air Canada…
This week, NATO leaders gathered in Ankara — giving President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan a powerful stage at a moment when Turkey’s strategic value to Europe is rising. Sarah Wheaton speaks to Aslı Aydıntaşbaş, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution, about Erdoğan’s moment at this week’s NATO summit, Turkey’s complicated relationship with Europe and the United States, and whether the EU can build a serious partnership with Ankara while still confronting its crackdown on political opposition and free media. Then, author and POLITICO contributor John Kampfner joins the show to discuss his new book, “Braver New World” — and what Europe…
The European Union has entered the last stretch of negotiations to reach a deal on a new round of sanctions against Moscow, as countries scramble to avoid a politically disastrous update of the price cap on Russian oil. Under the rules, the cap, currently set at $44.10 per barrel, must be automatically adjusted every six months to remain at 15% below the average market price. The next review is scheduled for 15 July. Since Russian oil soared in the aftermath of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the revision is certain to push the cap much higher, likely hitting…
Published on 10/07/2026 – 6:57 GMT+2 Former Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was laid to rest on Friday on the last of a marathon six days of funeral ceremonies, as two days of US and Iranian attacks raised fears of a return to all-out war. The “body of the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution was buried in the memorial hall of the shrine of Imam Reza,” state broadcaster IRIB reported. Khamenei’s flag-covered coffin was carried aloft into the shrine of Imam Reza in his home city of Mashhad in eastern Iran as a sea of people waited outside…
Pünktlich zum letzten Tag vor der politischen Sommerpause stimmt der Bundestag heute über das GKV-Sparpaket ab. Das Bundesverfassungsgericht lehnt die Eilanträge von Janosch Dahmen (Grüne) und Ateş Gürpınar (Linke) gegen das überhastete Gesetzgebungsverfahren ab. Während Gesundheitsministerin Nina Warken (CDU) das Tempo verteidigt, geht der Streit über den Schnellschuss weiter. Mit Rasmus Buchsteiner bespricht Rixa Fürsen diesen Showdown um eine der wichtigsten Reformen des Landes. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview äußert sich der bayerische CSU-Fraktionschef und frühere Gesundheitsminister in Bayern, Klaus Holetschek, zur Gesundheitsreform.

Ein verteidigungspolitischer Durchbruch,…
Published on 09/07/2026 – 10:06 GMT+2 Russia has brought in a ban on diesel exports as Moscow seeks to mitigate the impact of a worsening fuel crisis sparked by Ukrainian attacks on energy infrastructure. “A ban on diesel fuel exports has been introduced today,” Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said during a government meeting with President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday. “This will enable us to increase supplies to the domestic market in July”. Kyiv has been ramping up its attacks on Russia’s energy industry in recent months, particularly targeting oil facilities such as refineries, depots, and terminals. The attacks…
France knocked out Morocco in Thursday’s first World Cup quarterfinal with a 2-0 score that meant the same result as when the two countries last faced off four years ago in the semifinals in Qatar. The French were threatening from the opening minutes, creating a flurry of chances on the pitch at Gillette Stadium, near Boston. Despite thirteen efforts before half-time, they were denied by a well-organised Moroccan defence and a vigilant Yassine Bounou, with the score locked at 0-0. The key moment of the first half was a missed penalty by the French captain Kylian Mbappé in the 28th…
She lost the whip for four months last year over her opposition to the government’s welfare reforms — which were significantly watered down after a backbench rebellion. Maskell already has a meeting with Burnham in the diary, and Noah Law, a 2024 intake Labour MP, says he is getting face time too. “I’ve had more quality time with him than I have with any other senior figures or cabinet figures, let alone the prime minister,” Law said, advising Burnham must keep his “ear to the ground” going forward. MPs have plenty to say — and they want it heard by the people in charge. | Jakub Porzycki/NurPhoto via Getty Images 2. Accept disagreement …
