Published on 3 November 2026 – 19:06 GMT+1 ‘La bola negra’, directed by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, has become the third most successful Spanish film of all time, with 36,7 million euros taken and 5,4 million cinema-goers up to 1 November. The production, starring Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close and inspired by Federico García Lorca, is only behind ‘Ocho apellidos vascos’ and ‘Lo imposible’. The film’s success comes as Spanish box office revenues recover, with a 40% increase in takings during the first 41 weeks of 2026, reaching 489,4 million euros. This figure is 8% higher than the average…

Trump told reporters last month he would meet Putin and Xi, initially “on denuclearization,” but also to discuss Ukraine. “I would meet in order — anything I can do to end the war, whether somebody is there or not, whatever I can do to end the war.” Kyiv met the prospect of a trilateral meeting with concern, with Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressing that it should take place after a meeting that includes Ukraine. “I really don’t want this to be a ‘Yalta – 2, 3, 4,’ when there is a redistribution of influence,” Zelenskyy told reporters in late October — referring…

Published on 3 November 2026 – 19:10 GMT+1 US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Washington would stop giving Israel around $4 billion a year in military aid from 2027. He made the announcement as polls opened across the United States for the midterm elections. Speaking by phone to Fox News, Trump said Israel no longer needed the money, but that the US would keep selling arms to its closest Middle East ally. He said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had come to him with the idea, and that they had been discussing it for a couple of years.…

The Government on Tuesday signed the share sale contract for TAP with Lufthansa, formalising the conditions of the deal that was confirmed in October. In a speech to those present, Luís Montenegro congratulated everyone involved in the deal, stressing that it makes it possible “to anchor the country’s strategic interests and preserve TAP’s identity and brand”. “If that were not the case, we would not have taken the decision we ultimately took,” he said. The Portuguese prime minister said that the Lufthansa group, which is now formalising the acquisition of part of TAP’s capital, has always been keen to preserve…

His fixation on the idea, and his repeated refusals to rule out using military force to take the territory — as well as his use of tariffs against allied countries he saw as standing in his way — stretched the NATO alliance close to breaking point. At NATO’s annual summit in July, Trump said the island “should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark,” provoking warnings from European leaders who maintain the territory is not for sale and that its future should be left to its people. In September, Trump signed a defense agreement with the prime ministers…

Toussaint morose pour la droite et le centre. Aucun de ses représentants n’est en mesure de se qualifier pour le second tour de la présidentielle dans les derniers sondages, y compris Edouard Philippe désormais doublé par Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Le candidat Horizons réitère son refus de participer à une primaire mais les lignes bougent : Gabriel Attal s’est mué en ardent défenseur d’un tel départage tandis que Bruno Retailleau est moins catégorique pour le refuser. Anthony Lattier prend le pouls du bloc central avec Sarah Paillou, co-autrice de la newsletter Playbook Paris, et Marcelo Wesfreid, directeur adjoint de la rédaction de…

Polling stations are opening across the United States in a midterm election that, a year ago, Republicans expected to survive with their Senate majority intact. That expectation has been reduced to a hope. Start with the House of Representatives, where the question is no longer whether Democrats win, but by how much. Prediction markets give them a 95% chance of taking control. The Cook Political Report now rates 222 seats as at least leaning Democratic, four more than the 218 needed for a majority, against 195 for Republicans, with 18 pure toss-ups. A good night for Democrats could see them…

The United Kingdom will likely face artificial intelligence cyberattacks on its critical infrastructure by 2028 as criminals and states, including China and Russia, increasingly use AI in their cyberactivity, Britain’s cyber chief said Tuesday. That could include AI-powered malware for ransomware attacks as the technology will allow “vulnerabilities that have been tolerated for far too long” to be discovered and exploited “at a scale that was once unimaginable,” said Richard Horne, the head of the National Cyber Security Centre. One such vulnerability was discovered in refrigeration units that were targeted by hackers who turned up the temperature, causing food to…
