In woodland not far from facilities belonging to the Museum of Coastal Defence – Fort Gerhard, the man came across an unusual depression in the ground. Around it lay numerous fragments of a metal structure. They did not look like random scrap. Among the scattered pieces you could see sections of aluminium sheets, parts of a structure and the remains of burnt ammunition. One of…
Wildfires raging near Madrid turned the sky orange and the sun blood-red over the village of Zarzalejo, as authorities battled what regional leader Isabel Díaz-Ayuso called the worst fire in the capital’s history. Two major blazes merged into one, burning 30 square kilometers by Friday and forcing evacuations or home confinement for some 60,000 people. A separate fire in nearby Ávila consumed 90 square kilometers. Spain’s Civil Guard arrested one man over the alleged use of heavy machinery in a high fire-risk zone. PM Pedro Sánchez is set to visit the region on Saturday as temperatures top 39°C amid an…
The Italian minister said Fedorov was “moved” by the proposal and saw it as “a mark of respect and friendship,” but he didn’t elaborate on whether Fedorov accepted or not.

“I have no other way to describe it but an escalation of attempts,” she said in the interview, adding that she feared for her job and hence was afraid to say “no” to Khan’s advances. Khan has denied any wrongdoing and, according to Reuters, called the Friday vote “unlawful, procedurally unfair and unsupported by evidence.” The vote to fire Khan comes a week after the U.S. administration announced a campaign to dismantle what it called a “threat posed by the ICC to U.S. sovereignty.” Washington argues that the court should not have the authority to investigate and prosecute U.S. citizens. Last year,…

The death toll was reported by the Organisation of Young Doctors in Tunisia. The Tunisian authorities have not confirmed or responded to those figures. At least five deaths directly linked to power cuts — including a cancer patient — were reported by local media…
