A Green Party spokesperson said: “We do not comment on internal matters.” Ali declined to comment, instead directing POLITICO to the party press…

The missile, which carried no warhead, was launched on Tuesday from the nuclear-powered submarine Le Vigilant off Brittany. It came down in the North Atlantic, hundreds of kilometres from any coastline, the defence ministry said. Macron watched from the warship Auvergne and posted a video of the launch on X. “To be free, one must be feared. And to be feared, one must…
Paramount closed its $81 billion (€72bn) purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, the companies announced on Tuesday, forming a new Hollywood giant called Skydance.

French artificial intelligence champion Mistral AI on Tuesday launched a public preview of a new frontier model that it says will be the most capable open-weight model developed outside China once its weights are released. The launch comes as the race over open-weight AI, in which a model’s parameters can be downloaded and run by anyone, has taken on a geopolitical edge. Chinese developers have set the pace, while many American companies, such as OpenAI, keep their most capable systems closed. Meanwhile, the debate over safety has grown since AI agents have been found to go rogue and hack websites.…
Handmade carpets covered the courtyard of one of Tashkent’s historic madrasahs as Italian fashion house Brunello Cucinelli presented its Fall-Winter 2026 collection in the Uzbek capital. Models walked across the carpets laid inside the Abulkasim Madrasah, while local music and performances accompanied the show. The setting was unusual for an international fashion presentation. A madrasah is a traditional Islamic educational institution, and the Abulkasim complex dates from the 19th century. Built on the site of an earlier architectural complex, it was expanded with a second floor in 1864. Today, it is a protected historical monument, but it is not simply…
Five British men were arrested on Sunday, 27 September, on suspicion of offences under the Explosives Act and preparation of a terrorist act, after police were alerted to three suspicious vehicles near the airbase.

On Sunday, the Pentagon confirmed that the U.S. had withdrawn all B-1 bombers from the airbase. The following day, U.S. President Donald Trump told…
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Tuesday a new “strategic dialogue” on European refineries, drawing attention to a growing vulnerability for the EU: its shrinking refining capacity, which has been declining since 2009. European refineries — which convert crude oil into refined products such as diesel or jet fuel — have been closing or reducing capacity for years as ageing plants became less profitable and demand patterns shifted. As a result, the European Union has become increasingly reliant on imports of finished fuels from places such as the disrupted Middle East, the less predictable United States and…

The pact unites NATO’s second-largest army, that of Turkey, with the Islamic world’s only nuclear-armed state, Pakistan, and the largest Gulf power, Saudi Arabia. Their representatives held an emergency meeting in Riyadh…
