According to German news outlet t-online, which cited the show’s production company, Greenland authorities fined Schafroth over the stunt. Media reports said witnesses claimed he had posed as a U.S. official. In a video circulating on social media, Schafroth can be seen wearing a suit and being confronted by locals, one of whom tells him what he is doing is illegal. “You’re right,” Schafroth replies, adding: “I wanted to make a deal, but it didn’t work. I’m sorry.” Local residents didn’t appear amused. At the end of the video one person can be heard calling Schafroth “a rude comedian.” POLITICO…
Published on 29/01/2026 – 20:54 GMT+1 US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Hamas would give up its weapons in what would be a major step forward in a fragile ceasefire with Israel. “A lot of people said they’ll never disarm. It looks like they’re going to disarm,” Trump said at a cabinet meeting. Trump hailed cooperation with Hamas, considered a terrorist group by the United States, after Israeli forces brought back the remains from the last hostage held in Gaza, Ran Gvili. “They did help us with those bodies, getting them back, and that family is so grateful,”…
BRUSSELS — The EU’s move to designate Iran’s feared paramilitary force as a terrorist organization was the product of a recalculation by several governments, in which the need to respond to Tehran’s brutal crackdown outweighed the diplomatic risks. For weeks, a group of influential EU capitals — led by France and, until recently, Italy and Spain — warned that a terror listing would close off what little diplomatic leverage Europe still had with Iran, risking reprisals against European nationals and complicating nuclear talks. That argument began to unravel as the regime’s internet blackout lifted and video footage circulated of the…

Italian Civil Protection officials say the ground remains unstable and further collapse is possible. Rubble from homes already destroyed lies at the bottom of the cliff, and authorities warn another section of land could give way, putting more buildings at risk. Drones and satellite images are being used to monitor the red zone and track the speed of the landslide. Police patrol nearly empty streets as emergency crews remain on standby. Niscemi, a town of about 25,000 people built on fragile sandstone and clay, suffered a similar landslide nearly 30 years ago. Experts warn such disasters may become more frequent…
Britain recently increased the amount the NHS pays for branded, pharmaceutical drugs, following heavy industry lobbying and following trade negotiations with the Trump administration — all in the hopes of attracting new investment into the struggling sector. Shadow Trade Secretary Andrew Griffith was blunt in his assessment. “AstraZeneca’s a great British company but under this government it’s investing everywhere in the world other than its U.K. home. When we are losing investment to communist China, alarm bells should be ringing in No 10 Downing Street.” Conspicuously absent from Starmer’s haul was any mention of net zero infrastructure imports, like solar…

TotalEnergies has denied the allegations, saying its own “extensive research” into the allegations has “not identified any information nor evidence that would corroborate the allegations of severe abuses and torture.” The Mozambican government has also rejected claims that its forces committed war crimes. The revelations nonetheless prompted scrutiny from French lawmakers and criticism of TotalEnergies’ security arrangements in conflict zones. The Mozambique site has been plagued by an Islamist insurgency. “Companies and their executives are not neutral actors when they operate in conflict zones,” said Clara Gonzales of the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights. “If they enable or…
