Greece and Türkiye have long battled it out for the title of Europe’s most affordable summer escape, but in 2026, the balance is starting to shift. While Türkiye still offers lower prices for many travellers, soaring inflation has pushed up costs in some of its most popular resorts. This has led to an increasing numbers of Turkish tourists heading to neighbouring Greece instead. From beach tavernas to package holidays, the two Mediterranean heavyweights are now competing on far more than sunshine alone. A recent Euronews report found that tourism between Greece and Türkiye has tripled – but only in one…
La Roja will be dressed in luxury fashion at the 2026 World Cup.

Published on 28/05/2026 – 16:23 GMT+2 Hungary is on a “clear and steadfast” path toward restoring the rule of law, and the EU will work with Budapest to evaluate progress — a key step toward unlocking the bloc’s frozen funds, European Commissioner for Justice Michael McGrath told Euronews’s Europe Today show. McGrath also announced he would travel to Budapest next week to meet Márta Görög, the country’s justice minister, “to agree on the reforms and look at the progress that they intend to make over the months ahead.” “So far they have demonstrated a very clear and steadfast commitment on…
The assault took place shortly after 8.30am at the main station in Winterthur, a city of around 123,000 people situated near Zurich and serving as a key transport interchange in north-eastern Switzerland. Emergency services responded rapidly, securing the area before conveying the three victims to hospital. All are Swiss nationals, aged 28, 43 and 52. One sustained serious injuries; the other two were reported to be in a moderate condition. Zurich cantonal police confirmed that the suspect, also a Swiss national, was detained at the scene. Forensic teams subsequently cordoned off significant sections of the station for much of the…
The Appeals Chamber of Spain’s National Court has overturned the acquittal of actress Ana Duato and her husband, producer Miguel Ángel Bernardeau, in the ‘Nummaria’ case, linked to an alleged tax fraud. The decision quashes the judgment handed down in July 2025 and orders a retrial. The investigation uncovered an alleged tax-evasion network built around the Spanish law firm Nummaria, headed by Fernando Peña, whose clients included the actress Ana Duato. According to the facts established at trial, the network used complex corporate structures both in Spain and abroad to reduce or evade the tax bills of numerous clients, among…
As the number of firsthand Holocaust witnesses dwindles, studies show that Holocaust awareness among young Germans is declining. Around 40 percent of Germans ages 18 to 29 do not know that six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis, while more than one in 10 said they had never heard of the Holocaust, according to a survey published last year by the Jewish Claims Conference. Politicians in the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) — the country’s most popular political party in recent polls — have at times decried Germany’s culture of remembrance, with extreme-right figures railing against what they call…
The International Stabilisation Force for Gaza was announced at the inaugural meeting of US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace in February but three months on, none of the five countries that pledged troops have come through with any significant contributions. Efforts to shore up the fragile ceasefire between Israel and the Gaza-based militant group Hamas have stalled, with Hamas refusing to disarm and Israel continuing to strike what it says are militant targets, often killing civilians. Meanwhile, the Iran war has made it more difficult for Arab and Muslim leaders to openly cooperate with the United States and Israel,…
The United States said its embassy in Ukraine will remain open despite Russian warnings that diplomats who remain in Kyiv risk getting bombed. “There are no changes to our operations and reports otherwise are false,” the U.S. Embassy said in a statement on X. “The State Department has no higher priority than the safety and security of Americans and regularly reviews the security posture of Embassy Kyiv.” Russia’s foreign ministry on Monday urged foreign citizens and diplomats to leave Kyiv “as soon as possible,” warning they risked being hit by missile strikes on the capital city. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio…
By Lilya Sergeeva with AP Published on 28/05/2026 – 14:09 GMT+2•Updated 14:11 Russia’s State Duma has passed a law authorising bank employees to shoot down Ukrainian drones, in a sign of the Kremlin’s growing inability to defend its territory against attacks that have been intensifying in frequency and range while Moscow continues to wage its all-out war against Ukraine, now well into its fifth year. Under the bill adopted on Tuesday, banks will cover the cost of installing electronic warfare equipment at their facilities. Selected employees will be authorised to jam or intercept drone control signals and destroy unmanned aerial, underwater, and ground…
