SpaceX’s Starship reached orbit for the first time on Monday during its 14th test flight, despite one of its engines shutting down early during the ascent. The spacecraft then deployed 26 next-generation Starlink satellites, marking the first orbital deployment of the new satellites. SpaceX had planned a flight lasting around 10 hours, but controllers cut the mission short after about three hours. Starship later re-entered over the Pacific and splashed down north of Hawaii. The flight provided SpaceX with another test of the giant spacecraft as the company works towards future missions.

Published on 28/09/2026 – 12:16 GMT+2 Europe’s desire to build as many data centres as quicky as possible could strengthen the argument to invest more in nuclear power as the bloc looks for more sustainable and reliable ways to power AI infrastructure, according to research by JP Morgan. Data centres make up about 1.5% or 415 Terawatt-Hours (TWh) of the global energy consumption each year, with consumption projected to more than double to 945 TWh by 2030, driven primarily by AI computing needs. In Europe alone, data centre electricity consumption is about 70 TWh and could rise to around 115…

“C’est un coup de maître de ne pas ancrer dans le dur la sous-indexation ou le gel mais seulement de le permettre, ce qui peut le rendre votable, et de prévoir que par défaut, en l’absence de décret avec un autre coefficient, c’est le gel qui s’applique”, commente l’experte déjà citée. Concrètement, le gouvernement ne demanderait pas aux parlementaires de voter directement une absence de revalorisation, mais de voter un dispositif qui lui laisse le soin de fixer les chiffres. D’après le projet d’article, ces coefficients seraient d’ailleurs fixés par le gouvernement “au regard des perspectives financières du système de…

Images of María del Carmen Abascal, known as Maricarmen, being evicted from her home in Madrid have become the latest symbol of Spain’s housing crisis. The 87-year-old woman had been renting the property for around 70 years. According to the Madrid Tenants’ Union, following a change of ownership there was a proposed rent increase from about 500 euros to 2,650 euros a month, later reduced to 1,650. After several attempts to halt the process, Maricarmen was evicted and later taken to hospital. The case triggered protests that quickly spread beyond Madrid. But the scale of the reaction is hard to…

Artificial intelligence is moving beyond generating text, images and answers. Now, developers are trying to get AI to carry out tasks on a user’s behalf. That shift to autonomous or “agentic AI” was a central theme at the Google Cloud Summit in Doha, where the company marked three years since opening its cloud infrastructure in Qatar. Generative AI creates content in response to a prompt. AI agents go further, working through the steps needed to complete a task. “Generative AI effectively is where you use AI through large language models to create net new content,” Alex Rutter, Managing Director of…

The comments were allegedly made mostly in 2013, when Bardella was 17 and shortly after he had joined the National Rally, whose presidential candidate Marine Le Pen is the front-runner in next year’s election. “At a time when the victory of our ideas has never been so close, a certain activist press is ready to orchestrate smear operations to destabilize the presidential campaign and attack my honor,” Bardella said. During a visit to a construction industry event Monday, Le Pen called the Mediapart report “insanity.” The National Rally’s predecessor, the National Front, was founded in part by Nazi collaborators.
