By Euronews Persian Published on 13 November 2026 – 10:39 GMT+1•Updated 14:39 The US has rejected claims by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that its forces destroyed an American early-warning radar in Bahrain. US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Friday that the IRGC had launched two one-way attack drones towards Bahrain and that both had been shot down by US forces. “There were no injuries or damage,” it said. The Guard’s aerospace force fighters had reportedly launched a strike in response to an attack on a telecommunications tower in Sirik County in southern Iran on Thursday. The IRGC said in a…
Trying to solve everything means solving nothing. But then that’s the point. “It is obvious that Putin is simply stalling for time, trying to destroy or capture Ukraine or win this war of attrition, waiting for aid to stop in Europe and for Europe to be divided,” Ukrainian opposition lawmaker Mykola Kniazhytskyi told POLITICO. The “let’s negotiate everything together” approach has been a key part of the playbook Putin and his Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov have used time and again when it comes to Ukraine, and earlier in Syria. Ukraine’s former commander-in-chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi, now his country’s ambassador to London,…
Footage reveals mounds of plastic refuse cascading from a colossal wooden steed, surrounded by banner-waving Greenpeace demonstrators. Pedestrians halt to record the six-metre structure outside Konyaaltı’s municipal offices, an allegory of the mythical Trojan Horse designed to highlight the latent environmental cost of polymers, while local sanitation teams clear rubbish from a neighbouring stretch of coast. Produced in partnership with Danish artist Thomas Dambo, the piece targets plastic contamination and the fossil-fuel companies driving its output. According to activist Berk Butan, the sculpture demonstrates how plastics serve as the petrochemical industry’s “Trojan Horse”, embedding themselves seamlessly into modern life. Campaigners…
The countries previously confirmed that they aim to close the first deals to set up the off-shore centers in 2026, with plans to make them operational as of next year. The deportation hub in Rwanda would function as a pilot project and deals with other countries and involving other EU countries are likely to follow. A recent reform of EU rules made it possible for EU members to cut deals to set up such deportation hubs with other countries on the condition that they meet international human rights standards. Specifics of the scheme, including the nationalities of the people that…

Published on 13 November 2026 – 10:15 GMT+1 Robyn is not shy about her feelings towards the Eurovision Song Contest, labelling the annual music event as “shit” and “embarrassing”. The celebrated Swedish pop star, whose hits include ‘Show Me Love’, ‘With Every Heartbeat’ and ‘Dancing On My Own’, shared her verdict during an appearance on comedian and actress Amy Poehler’s podcast, Good Hang. Robyn suggested Eurovision’s appeal had diminished for her since ABBA’s involvement. The Swedish pop group won Eurovision with their hit song ‘Waterloo’ in 1974, and since then, Sweden has won the contest six times – the latest…
Le Pen said she would offer to hold talks with Zelenskyy when she meets the Ukrainian ambassador in France on Monday. The far-right leader is the front-runner ahead of next year’s presidential election and has repeatedly said France can no longer afford to keep financing Ukraine’s war effort. She has estimated that French aid amounts to €6 billion per year, a figure Zelenskyy has challenged. He said the military partnership with Paris is “a win-win” relationship. Zelenskyy also invited Le Pen to Kyiv, telling French weekly l’Express that Le Pen would “change her mind” if she met Ukrainians. Financial aid…

Ireland, which holds the EU’s rotating presidency and hosted the informal gathering, had billed the meeting as a rare chance for a high-level discussion on how to develop artificial intelligence in accordance with European values. But the question of how to secure peace in Ukraine — and who should negotiate on Europe’s behalf — quickly dominated discussions, as leaders sparred over the format of future peace negotiations and warned about the risks of a potential deal brokered between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Indeed, a meeting next week between the U.S. and Russian leaders has set Europe on edge,…
