A powerful nor’easter has exposed weathered wooden beams on Nantucket’s southern shore, possibly revealing the remains of a 19th-century shipwreck. Maritime experts from the Egan Maritime Institute are examining the wreckage and will work with state underwater archaeologists to identify the vessel. The remains appeared near an area where parts of the Warren Sawyer, a wooden schooner that ran aground in 1884, have been found before. However, experts say the newly exposed wreckage has not yet been identified with certainty.
International crude oil prices climbed further on Tuesday morning amid uncertainty over US-Iran talks, as hopes of reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway crucial to oil shipments, faded. Hopes that Middle East tensions would ease were dashed at the weekend when Donald Trump rejected Iran’s offer of a seven-day truce. Mediators are working with the US and Iran on a deal to end the fighting and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, officials told the Associated Press. The disruption to shipping through the waterway has affected global trade and added to inflation. Iran has proposed reopening the strait if the…
Travel is constantly changing and 2027 looks set to bring plenty of new ways to see the world. From holidays designed around health and longevity to a growing appetite for slower, more meaningful escapes, travellers are becoming more selective about how they spend their time away. Next year will be huge for astronomy lovers, with August’s so called “eclipse of the century” viewable in parts of southern Spain and north Africa, while those in the know will be eschewing Bali for lesser explored parts of Indonesia. It’s likely in 2027 that travellers will also look beyond the usual hotspots, rethink…
The financing of the plan — an issue which can be contentious with voters — would also have to come from the Core Group. “We want to have a financially realistic project,” Plevris said, adding that members of the group want the Commission to eventually have an active role in the process. The minister acknowledged that the plan would not lead to huge numbers of migrants being outsourced to third countries. “In reality, it is another means of exerting pressure that could increase voluntary returns,” he said. “It’s an unprecedented undertaking. Even though other countries have attempted something similar in…
Published on 29/09/2026 – 6:19 GMT+2 A lawyer who backed President Donald Trump’s false 2020 election claims has resigned from a Justice Department investigation into whether former government officials conspired against the Republican president, a person familiar with the matter said on Monday. Kurt Olsen’s resignation from the so-called “grand conspiracy” probe represents further turmoil in a meandering investigation that has proceeded in fits and starts since its inception as prosecutors pursue an ill-defined right-wing theory of a conspiracy against Trump. It comes just weeks after the departure of another Trump ally, Joseph diGenova, who had been leading the closely…
Borrowing money is getting more expensive again. For most European companies, that is uncomfortable but manageable. For businesses already heavily indebted, it can become a much bigger problem. Some of the names caught in the squeeze are surprisingly familiar. They include the company behind Legoland and Madame Tussauds, the owner of Lipton tea, one of Europe’s largest residential property managers and the telecoms empire built by billionaire Patrick Drahi. Then there is Aston Martin, the British maker of James Bond’s car. Many borrowed heavily when interest rates were close to zero. All sit in, or close to, the CCC area…

Sánchez, who last week called the eviction was a “social tragedy,” is now scrambling to contain the situation by vowing to approve a long-delayed housing bill at Tuesday’s meeting of Spain’s Council of Ministers. But crafting legislation that his minority government can get through parliament is proving tricky. The draft bill must be moderate enough to win the support of the Catalan separatist Junts party, which is conservative on landowners’ rights. But if the legislation is too lenient, Sánchez risks alienating his left-wing allies, accentuating his political isolation in a key election year. The beleaguered prime minister is already facing…

Published on 29/09/2026 – 6:52 GMT+2 OpenAI said late on Monday that it was delaying the release of a new artificial intelligence model out of security concerns voiced by its researchers, the latest in the company’s effort to decelerate the pace of the technology’s rapid advance.

The announcement comes a day before AI executives are set to huddle with US President Donald Trump in Washington as technology…
