The minister fled the chamber when she heard the noise, and the debate was temporarily suspended. “It must be possible to have a parliamentary debate without having things thrown at you. It is fundamental to democratic discourse,” Stenergard wrote in a text message to Aftonbladet, thanking all those who had offered their support in the aftermath. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson condemned the incident: “I am proud that Sweden has a competent and upright foreign minister who represents the government’s line on the conflicts in the Middle East. No one should be allowed to threaten her or throw objects at her.”…

BRUXELLES — Jusqu’à quel point la nouvelle équipe de commissaires espérant travailler pour Ursula von der Leyen est-elle irréprochable ? La commission des Affaires juridiques du Parlement européen, connue sous le nom de JURI, examine les déclarations d’intérêts de tous les dirigeants de l’UE pour le savoir. Lors d’une réunion décisive qui se tiendra jeudi, ses législateurs débattront de la question de savoir si les 26 commissaires potentiels sont aptes à exercer leurs fonctions en toute indépendance (la présidente, Ursula von der Leyen, ne participe pas au processus de sélection). Bien qu’aucun des 26 commissaires n’ait donné suite à une…

“Thither Bibi repaired for a while, and it may or may not be a coincidence but I am told that later, when they were doing a regular sweep for bugs, they found a listening device in the thunderbox,” Johnson writes as he recalls a meeting. The Telegraph pressed the ex-PM on whether he could disclose more details about what happened, although Johnson told them: “I think everything you need to know about that episode is in the book.” The Israeli Embassy in London was approached for comment. POLITICO reported in 2019 that the U.S. government believed Israel was responsible for…

In 2011, that same person disappeared from the scene, never to be heard of again. His last known communication was related to the whistleblower site Wikileaks. The message read: “WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet’s nest, and the swarm is headed towards us … I make this appeal to WikiLeaks not to try to use Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a small beta community in its infancy. You would not stand to get more than pocket change, and the heat you would bring would likely destroy us at this stage.” In the years since, many have tried to crack the Satoshi riddle and…

The opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not represent in any way the editorial position of Euronews. The time for feet dragging is over, but the sense of urgency is still missing. And there is more: In addition to being very demanding, these challenges need to be faced simultaneously. Is that even possible, Ricardo Borges de Castro asks. The phrase, “Europe will be forged in crises and will be the sum of the solutions adopted for these crises,” is nothing less than a dogma in Brussels. In fact, the maxim of Jean Monnet, one…

A single container changes the micro-ecosystem around it – impacting seafloor species that scientists are still discovering. Russ Lewis has picked up some strange things along the coast of Long Beach Peninsula in Washington state over the years: bicycle helmets with feather tufts, life-size plastic turkey decoys made for hunters, colourful squirt guns.And Crocs – so many mismatched Crocs.If you find a single Croc shoe, you might think somebody lost it out on the beach, he said. “But, if you find two, three, four and they’re different – you know, one’s a big one, one’s a little one – that’s…

3. Why it was so politically divisive In EU lawmaking, negotiators’ positions can often be traced back to their political affiliation or the European Parliament’s typically more ambitious stance. But in the long-running talks on the Mobility Package, Council of the EU and Parliament negotiators — and even commissioners — split along geographic lines. It took negotiators years to find a carefully crafted deal that passed muster with enough countries. Take one piece of the puzzle out and the whole thing could come crashing down, they have warned. 4. Who’s involved? Lithuania, Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus, Hungary, Malta and Poland lodged a…

Kudahithi Sands is envisaged as a home away from home for the super rich. With villas rising out of the reef above crystal blue waters, the Maldives are synonymous with luxury. Most of the 1.8 million tourists who visited the South Asian island state last year are on the deep-pocketed side. But the super-rich will soon have an even more exclusive option: a private island they can bid to stay on.The new concept is being piloted by Mohamed Ali Janah, group chairman of Hotels and Resorts Investment Maldives Group (HARIM Group) and a special advisor to UN Tourism.“I am building the…

The treasure reportedly worth €150,000 has been found, more than 30 years since it was hidden somewhere in France. This marks the end of an enigma-based quest and one of the world’s longest-running treasure hunts. The search is finally over!  31 years, 5 months and 9 days since the launch of the mysterious French treasure hunt for the “chouette d’or” – the Golden Owl – an as-yet-unnamed modern-day Indiana Jones has cracked the code and found the covetted statuette.Launched in 1993 by Régis Hauser (aka Max Valentin) and painter Michel Becker, the “Sur la trace de la chouette d’or” treasure hunt…

Ukraine has long argued that it’s necessary for Western countries to give permission to conduct such strikes. The U.S., Germany and some European countries, on the other hand, fear this could lead to escalation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, while Moscow recently revised its doctrine on the use of nuclear weapons to amplify the threat. Rutte’s support for Kyiv on this issue comes ahead of a crucial summit meeting on Oct. 12 to be led by U.S. President Joe Biden comprising all other Ukraine-supporting leaders, in the so-called Ramstein format. Washington has been under pressure to lift such restrictions before…
