Published on 03/12/2025 – 11:44 GMT+1 European leaders called on Wednesday for increased pressure on Moscow following US-Russia talks in which Vladimir Putin appeared to have made no concession to end the conflict in Ukraine. “Until I see anything different, then I’m going to continue to draw the conclusion that Russia does not want peace,” Sweden’s Maria Malmer Stenegard told reporters upon arriving at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers. “That is why we need to stick to the two-point plan – increase the support to Ukraine and increase the pressure on Russia – and we need to hit them…

Published on 03/12/2025 – 10:29 GMT+1 Pop singer Sabrina Carpenter has hit out at an “evil and disgusting” White House video of immigration agents chasing, handcuffing and detaining people, all to the sound of her song ‘Juno’. “Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda,” she posted on X. Donald Trump’s hugely controversial policy of sending ICE officers into communities has led to the detention of people who have been living and working in the US for decades and have no criminal record. Carpenter adds her name to a long list of musicians who have…
Worse, turning inward with protectionist policies would only weaken the foundations that we now seek to strengthen. “Old wines in new bottles” — import substitution, isolationism, picking winners — won’t deliver competitiveness or security. Contrast that with the much-debated US Inflation Reduction Act. Its incentives and subsidies were open to EU companies, provided they invest locally, develop local talent and build within the US market. It’s not about flags, it’s about pragmatism: attracting global investments, creating jobs and driving innovation-led growth. So what’s the practical path? Europe must embrace ‘sovereignty done right’, weaving diversity, resilience and autonomy into the fabric…
Fabergé’s 1913 Winter Egg, created for Russia’s imperial family, achieved a record £22.9 million (€27.5 million) at auction in London. Made from carved rock crystal and adorned with platinum snowflakes and 4,500 diamonds, the egg is among the rare few still privately owned. Commissioned by Czar Nicholas II as an Easter gift for his mother, it resurfaced multiple times after being sold off in the 1920s. With only 43 surviving imperial eggs, the Winter Egg remains one of the most significant works in Fabergé’s legacy.

Published on 03/12/2025 – 9:35 GMT+1 •Updated 9:38 Nobel Prize winner in economics Philippe Aghion has urged the European Union to lower internal barriers and establish “a true single market” in an interview on Euronews. The French economist said a fully integrated internal market for EU goods and services will boost competition and innovation in the bloc, which he argued is lagging behind the United States and China amid rising geopolitical tensions. “We don’t have a true single market and it is absolutely necessary,” he told Europe Today, Euronews’ flagship morning show. “Each member state has its own regulation, which…
