Published on 06/10/2025 – 5:40 GMT+2 Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze accused the opposition of trying to topple his government and vowed a further crackdown on dissent on Sunday, just hours after the ruling party claimed a landslide win in local elections snubbed by its main rivals. Tens of thousands of people protested in the Georgian capital Tbilisi on polling day against the government’s repressive policies, and what they see as Georgia’s steady drift into Russia’s orbit. Protesters were met with fierce opposition as police deployed riot units and used water cannons and tear gas to disperse crowds who attempted…

Hyundai is probably one of South Korea’s most globally recognisable brands, with only the likes of Samsung and LG also vying for the title.  The Hyundai Motor Group, which owns Kia and Genesis, first arrived in Europe in the late 1970s. However, it was only in 1997 that they opened their first production site outside of South Korea, in Turkey.  “If you look at personal cars we’re at 4% market share in Europe, we’re ranked number 10 on the market,” said Xavier Martinet, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Europe.  “When you look back in time, 10-15 years ago we…

Published on 06/10/2025 – 7:01 GMT+2 Six hundred and twenty light-years from Earth, a young rogue planet is experiencing an extraordinary growth spurt. Astronomers have spotted a planet named Cha 1107-7626 taking in gas and dust from the disc around it at a rate of six billion tonnes per second, which is a record for a planet of its size. Similar behaviour has been seen in stars, but not in planets. “We were trying to study how fast is the rate of material getting into the object. And what we suddenly found is that there was a very strong growth…

Published on 06/10/2025 – 6:16 GMT+2 Israel and Hamas prepared for possible negotiations in Egypt on Monday as hopes continue to grow over a possible ceasefire after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that a hostage release deal could be announced this week. The Israeli delegation, led by top negotiator Ron Dermer, will leave on Monday for the talks in Sharm el-Sheikh, according to Netanyahu’s office. An Egyptian official said the Hamas delegation had already arrived.

The moves echo a French proposal backed in July by Europe’s steel lobby EUROFER and 11 EU nations, including Spain and Italy. That plan proposed slashing the bloc’s current steel safeguard quotas by 40 percent to 50 percent. Imports exceeding the quotas would catch a 50 percent tariff. “As a non-EU country, we will worry about this more than the U.S. tariffs,” said a British steel exporter, granted anonymity to speak candidly about commercially sensitive matters. The EU measures “would affect us directly and in terms of trade diversions,” they said, pointing to the further impact of exports diverted to…

It all marks another lurch towards Reform UK’s tough border and anti-net-zero rhetoric, going much further rightward than Badenoch — who has tried to accommodate the ideological battle in her party when forming policy — has previously. The Conservatives are trailing Nigel Farage’s Reform UK by 14 points in the polls, and remain four points behind the deeply-unpopular ruling Labour Party.  But they also bring the party dramatically closer to the politics of Donald Trump, and away from the traditional liberal center ground of Tory — and U.K. — politics.  Trying to find the old ‘economy, stupid’ voters  In Manchester, senior Conservatives…

“Hamas’ rule has to come to an end”, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Euronews in an exclusive interview on Sunday, discussing the US-led ceasefire plan and the future of Israel and Gaza.  Netanyahu stated that if Hamas accepts the plan, it “could be the beginning of the end of the war.” However, if it doesn’t, then “Israel will receive, as (US) President (Donald) Trump said, the full support of the United States to forcefully act against it to bring about an end to the war.”  “Let’s hope we can finish it the easy way and not the hard way.”…

On the whole, there are few fresh faces in Lecornu’s government, a sign that the political forces represented in Emmanuel Macron’s successive administrations remain broadly the same, despite Lecornu being the French president’s fifth prime minister in less than two years. Many ministers form Macron’s centrist camp kept their posts, including Education Minister Elisabeth Borne and Overseas Territory Minister Manuel Valls — both former prime ministers themselves. Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin and Budget Minister Amélie de Montchalin all stayed in post, too. Bruno Retailleau, the hardline leader of the conservative Les Républicains, will remain as interior minister.…

Asked whether she accepted the term “Boriswave” as a direct attack, Patel said: “It is, and I acknowledge that and absolutely accept that. So we have to move forward and do something about that, which is exactly the space our party is in right now.” The Conservatives have announced plans to create a new force to detain and deport people modeled on the U.S. immigration enforcement team ICE, as part of plans to remove 750,000 people over the next five years. However, speaking to POLITICO, Patel appeared to row back on the comparison pushed by her party when confronted with…
