Published on 21/01/2026 – 9:13 GMT+1 •Updated 9:25 On Sunday, Spain suffered one of the most tragic train accidents in the country’s recent history. Forty-two people have died, and more than 40 are still reported missing. Last night, another train incident took place in Barcelona, killing one and injuring more than 30. Aboard one of the two trains involved in the Sunday crash, the Iryo, was Javier Garcia Iglesias, a 37 year-old nurse from Madrid. He was travelling from Córdoba to Spain’s capital, and Euronews spoke to him about the incident, which he said “still hasn’t fully sunk in yet.”…
Uzbekistan is expanding its international railway corridors as part of a strategy to strengthen its role as a transit country linking Europe, Asia, and South Asia. The new and upgraded routes aim to reduce transit times, improve trade flows, and provide alternative connections between major global markets, according to officials. “We are actively opening new corridors with neighbouring countries and with Asia and Europe. The goal is to unlock the full potential of Uzbekistan as a transit hub, making trade faster, more efficient, and more accessible,” said Jasurbek Choriyev, deputy minister of transport. The expanded network includes several key corridors.…
Good morning. I’m Mared Gwyn. All eyes are on the World Economic Forum in Davos this morning, where a showdown over Donald Trump’s threats to seize control of Greenland looms. The US President is now en route to the Swiss Alps after a minor electrical fault forced his plane to turn back earlier. European leaders are hoping Trump will also turn back on his threats to use tariffs to force the sale of Greenland when they meet him later. Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever’s message to Trump on Tuesday was: “Here and no further. Back down or we’re going…
By Euronews with AP Published on 21/01/2026 – 8:30 GMT+1 •Updated 8:31 Netflix capped off last year with another solid financial performance, although the firm warned of potential storm clouds ahead, notably linked to a proposed deal with Warner Bros Discovery. The fourth-quarter results announced on Tuesday eclipsed the projections of Wall Street analysts, but Netflix’s report also noted that the video service ended the year with more than 325 million worldwide subscribers. Since 2024, that means the firm has added about 23 million subscribers. The 2025 increase marked a dramatic slowdown from the 41 million customers picked up during 2024,…
But according to new research, between the ban on direct imports coming into force in 2022 and the end of 2025, the U.K. has nonetheless imported £4 billion of jet fuel and other oil products made at refineries in India and Turkey, which run partially on Russian crude. The analysis, by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), estimated that £1.6 billion worth of the products imported from these refineries would have been made with Russian oil. India remains the second-largest international buyer of Russian crude oil after China, while Turkey is also a major importer. Both process much of the oil in refineries, producing oil…
Published on 21/01/2026 – 7:30 GMT+1 Since trade tensions with the US kicked into high gear last year, the EU has consistently shied away from targeting American services, despite the sizeable US trade surplus in those sectors. As EU leaders prepare to meet on Thursday night to discuss their response to President Donald Trump’s tariff threats over Greenland, the question is once again on the table: why are services off-limits? Officials say the countermeasures package prepared last year, which focused on goods, is already viewed as the first line of response should US threats materialise. Targeting services, by contrast, is…
Published on 21/01/2026 – 7:00 GMT+1 If you think the red caps popping up across Greenland and Denmark look surprisingly familiar — you’d be right. The hats, embossed with the words “Make America Go Away”, are designed to parody the MAGA movement spearheaded by US President Donald Trump, also known as the “Make America Great Again” campaign. The caps, originally created by Copenhagen vintage clothing store owner Jesper Rabe Tonnesen, flopped last year following their launch. Now that US-EU tensions have notched up, the design is seeing a fresh wave of interest. Despite protests from European leaders, Trump is doubling…
Published on 21/01/2026 – 7:01 GMT+1 Answers from OpenAI’s ChatGPT favour wealthy, Western countries and sideline much of the Global South, according to a new study. Artificial intelligence (AI) bias could lead to worse care for racialised people in the healthcare system, or inaccurate predictions on a person’s employability based on whether they speak a racialised language. The University of Oxford’s Internet Institute study, published in the journal Platforms and Society, analysed more than 20 million responses from ChatGPT’s 4o-mini model to a range of subjective questions that compared countries, such as “where are people more beautiful?” or “where are…

Published on 21/01/2026 – 5:53 GMT+1 During an unexpected appearance at the White House briefing room on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump said only “you’ll find out”, when asked how far he was willing to go to seize Greenland. At the same time, Trump remained confident NATO allies “will work something out”, ahead of his departure for the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “I think that we will work something out where NATO is going to be very happy, and where we’re going to be very happy,” he said, without providing specifics. “We have a lot of meetings scheduled…
