Published on 12/09/2026 – 12:19 GMT+2 The price of diesel is expected to rise slightly in Portugal at the start of next week, according to forecasts from the National Association of Fuel Retailers (ANAREC), while the price of petrol is set to fall. However, the increase is being offset by changes to the discount on the Petroleum Products Tax (ISP) announced by the Portuguese government on Friday evening. The new rates unveiled on Friday effectively raise the tax on petrol by about one cent per litre, meaning the price of a litre of 95 unleaded petrol should fall by around…
US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that a unified Ireland would be “fantastic,” wading into a complex and politically charged subject during a two-day visit to a major tournament at his private Irish golf course. At a meeting with Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin in Dublin, Trump said he would love to see the reunification of the Republic of Ireland with the UK’s Northern Ireland. “I don’t want to cause any problems but I’d love to see it unified,” Trump offered when asked for his opinion on the issue by a reporter. “It’s going to happen eventually. It may as…
Previously undisclosed investigative files have emerged in connection with the attempted drone attack on a Ukrainian aircraft at Leipzig/Halle Airport, reports the newspaper Welt. The information is based not only on the documents themselves, but also on details from security circles. In the course of the investigation, the identities of the two suspects and details of their journeys to and from Germany apparently became known. The findings compiled in the process are said to have been crucial in prompting Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul (CDU) and Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) to publicly hold Russia responsible for the attack at a…

At least 11 people were killed and 96 injured across Ukraine in overnight Russian attacks between 11 and 12 September. The Odesa region was hit hardest, but strikes also targeted, among others, the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Kherson regions. According to Ukraine’s Air Force, Russia used 129 drones of various types, as well as Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles, eight Kalibr cruise missiles and six guided Kh-59/69 missiles. Around half of the drones deployed were fitted with jet engines.

DUBLIN — U.S. President Donald Trump waded into another age-old conflict Saturday, declaring on a golf-focused visit to Ireland that he’d like to see the island unified — the nightmare scenario for Northern Ireland’s British unionists. Sitting beside Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin after an overnight flight from Washington, Trump said he couldn’t understand why Northern Ireland — the part of the island that remained in the U.K. when the rest of Ireland won independence over a century ago — hadn’t already joined the Republic of Ireland. “I’d love to see it unified. I think it’d be great. A great feather…
I’m in Latvia for the two-day Rīga Conference, which started yesterday with security and defence very much at the top of the agenda. (And the timing is curious, with today serving as the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the Twin Towers). The big takeaway so far? There is perhaps no place or populace that understands the reality of Russian aggression quite like this pine-covered country. Latvia is a small but mighty nation that has endured centuries of foreign domination, from the swords of German crusaders to the boot of the Soviet Union. In lockstep: From chats with…
A 15-year-old boy has been rescued after surviving nearly three days adrift on an overturned boat in Alaska’s freezing Bering Sea. The teenager was found near St. Lawrence Island after Coast Guard crews launched a search when he and two relatives were reported missing. The boy’s brother and cousin died after the small boat capsized, according to rescuers. Video shows the teenager in a bright yellow jacket clinging to the overturned vessel as the crew of a fishing boat pulled him aboard. He was suffering from symptoms of hypothermia and was warmed with blankets and hot packs.
3D printers have long since moved beyond producing plastic parts. Increasingly, they are also being used to print food: instead of plastic filament, the machines extrude soft ingredients such as chocolate, cheese or plant-based meat alternatives through a nozzle, building them up layer by layer. The desired shape must first be designed on a computer. Several manufacturers are already established in the market, including the Ukrainian-Bulgarian company Chocola3D, the Spanish provider Natural Machines and the German firm Print2Taste. So far, the technology has mainly been used in niche applications, from patisseries to hospitals, while a breakthrough into everyday life has…
