Rubio said earlier this week that French President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to recognize Palestinian statehood had blown any chance of successful ceasefire talks between Israel and the Hamas militant group, echoing similar accusations made last month. Hamas walked away from negotiations “the minute, the day that the French announced their thing,” according to Rubio. The French Response account’s messages highlight the time stamps of social media posts by Macron and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to argue that “negotiations had already collapsed before France’s announcement.” It also pointed to a declaration at a July United Nations conference, spearheaded by France…
Puźniki is a former village that has long been relegated to historical maps, and does not exist in the modern day. This nondescript place, now overgrown by a forest, was the site of a historic exhumation helping to heal historical wounds between Poland and Ukraine. On Saturday, following the completion of the exhumations, a funeral was held for over forty victims, attended by representatives of both the Polish and the Ukrainian sides. This is the first such commemoration of Polish victims in years. The funeral ceremony was attended, among others, by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage Marta Cienkowska,…

Profittlich is the first Estonian to be elevated to the altars by the Catholic Church. “This day is a great gift not only to the Catholic Church in Estonia, but to the entire Catholic Church and Estonian society.

Belgium’s Security and Home Affairs Minister Bernard Quintin wants to put soldiers on Brussels’ streets to fight escalating drug violence, a plan that is nearing realization. “The army has to defend the integrity of the territory. Usually, soldiers do this at our borders or far beyond them. But the war against drug crime also falls under the protection of our territory,” Quintin told De Standaard in an interview published Saturday. The Belgian capital has been plagued by a spate of drug-related shootings. Last month, Brussels prosecutor Julien Moinil decried the escalating violence, counting 57 shootings this year, 20 of which…
Gordon Repinski im Gespräch mit Sicherheitsexperte Carlo Masala. Masala rechnet mit der Diplomatie der letzten Wochen ab: Den Friedensprozess, den US-Präsident Trump sehen wollte, hat es nie gegeben – weil Putin nie mitgespielt hat. Der Professor an der Universität der Bundeswehr in München analysiert die militärische Lage an der Front, warum Investitionen in die ukrainische Rüstungsindustrie jetzt wichtiger sind als westliche Waffen und wie viele tausend Soldaten Europa in der Ukraine für einen echten Frieden bräuchte.Carlo Masala erklärt zudem, warum kein deutscher Politiker bereit ist, über den Einsatz von Bodentruppen zur Friedenssicherung zu sprechen und welche fatale Signalwirkung das für…

New research from women-only travel company, Girls’ Guide to the World, surveyed 330 women and has revealed how older women in their 50s, 60s and 70s are redefining luxury and reshaping solo travel.

Of the women surveyed, 65 per cent said that they were craving more cultural immersion…
“There were some examples when large ships refused to enter the Klaipėda port” over safety reasons after the GPS signal was hacked, he said. Meanwhile, pilots have been under “big stress” that prompted Lithuanian authorities to offer more training to land under such circumstances. “Even farmers who are working in this area are complaining about the problem and economic losses” after signal interference disrupted connected tools like draining systems. More than 1,000 Lithuanian aircraft and 33 ships experienced navigation signal disruptions in August alone, according to the country’s communications regulator, RRT. But the issue extends across the region. Frontline countries…
Lammy, who had served as the U.K.’s top diplomat since Labour won the election last year, will now become justice secretary — and also step into the post of deputy prime minister vacated by Rayner. While Cooper has never before served in an international brief, she is one of the most experienced members of the Cabinet, first serving as a minister under Tony Blair. She went on to become chief secretary to the Treasury and work and pensions secretary under Gordon Brown, before acting as shadow home secretary in opposition. In recent months she has negotiated bilateral agreements with France…
The Commission’s multibilllion-euro fine falls short of the €4.34 billion fine the EU executive slapped on Google in 2018 over abuse of dominance related to Android mobile devices, but is higher than the €2.42 billion fine the firm faced for favoring its own comparison-shopping service in 2017. The Commission’s decision comes as a parallel case before the U.S. courts will soon come to trial. In April, a U.S. federal judge found that Google had illegally maintained a monopoly in display search advertising, and a trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 22. The U.S. government is seeking a divestment of Google’s…
