Published on 26/11/2025 – 6:01 GMT+1 At least 10 people were killed and six others are missing after torrential rains unleashed flash floods and triggered landslides on Indonesia’s Sumatra island, police said on Wednesday. Rescue teams were struggling to reach affected areas in six regencies of North Sumatra province after the monsoon rains over the past week caused rivers to burst their banks, tearing through hilly villages as mud, rocks and trees tumbled down, leaving destruction in their wake, the National Police said in a statement. Rescue workers by Wednesday had recovered at least five bodies and three injured people…
Officials were granted anonymity because the discussions are private. Bruegel fellow Francesco Papadia, who was previously director-general for the ECB’s market operations, told POLITICO that such efforts are sensible and reflect an increasing willingness among European authorities to see the euro used more widely around the world. What’s a liquidity line? Central banks typically use two types of facilities to lend to each other: either by swapping one currency for another (swap lines) or by providing funds against collateral denominated in the lender’s currency (repo lines). The ECB currently maintains standing, unlimited swap lines with the U.S. Federal Reserve, the Bank…
“Without U.S. help, our ability to deliver long-range strikes on Russia will be critically reduced. It will be very hard for us. But I can proudly say that we have all come a long way, and we will not lose this ability,” a Ukrainian soldier with the country’s Unmanned Systems Forces, identified only by his callsign Linch, said at a conference in Kyiv on Friday. If the U.S. stopped sharing intelligence, that “would actually lead to more deaths of Ukrainians,” said Maksym Skrypchenko, president of the Kyiv-based Transatlantic Dialogue Center. Europe could, over time, build more satellites and reconnaissance aircraft.…

Ukraine reported heavy damage in Kyiv after overnight Russian strikes killed at least six people and injured more than a dozen. Emergency crews spent the morning clearing debris and checking weakened buildings across several districts. In Sviatoshynskyi, a strike near a warehouse left four people dead. In Dniprovskyi, a nine storey block caught fire and rescuers continued searching the upper floors for victims. A tower in Pecherskyi was also hit before firefighters brought the blaze under control. The attacks came as President Zelensky said recent talks in Switzerland had helped refine a possible peace plan, though much work remained. Local…
“We want to see more reform, more drive and more actions,” Swedish center-right lawmaker Tomas Tobé, who leads the Parliament’s report on the matter, told McGrath. The European Democracy Shield was unveiled Nov. 12 as a response to Russia’s escalating meddling in the bloc. In past months, Europe has been awash in hybrid threats. Security services linked railway disruptions in Poland and the Baltics to Russian-linked saboteurs, while unexplained drone flyovers have crippled public services in Belgium and probed critical infrastructure sites across the Nordics.
