By Andreas Rogal & Lucy Davalou with EBU Published on 10/08/2025 – 14:31 GMT+2 Armenia and Azerbaijan’s neighbouring countries and international institutions have reacted to the new US-brokered peace deal between Baku and Yerevan signed on Friday – overwhelmingly with enthusiasm. However, the deal, which aims to end decades of conflict, includes a corridor planned in the Caucasus which Iran has said it will block. Iran’s foreign ministry cited concerns over the potential negative consequences of any foreign intervention near its borders. Russia, Georgia’s opposition, and Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze have all welcomed the deal, with Kobakhidze describing it as the beginning of a…
“The Life of a Royal Garden”, an exhibition held at Warsaw’s Łazienki Park, tells the story of the largest park and palace complex in the Polish capital. It follows the winding vines of its history and unveils the secrets hidden in rustling of the gardeners’ daily lives. It also gives voice to the garden’s numerous caretakers, both past and present, and tells the story of how the once-private royal estate became a space for all to enjoy. Between time and composition: two paths of one story The exhibition is guided along two tracks. The first – a chronological one -…
Demonstrations in Tel Aviv attracted more than 100,000 protesters demanding an immediate end to the military campaign and the release of the hostages, the Guardian reported, citing the organisers. Netanyahu has said the expanded military operation “will help free our hostages,” though most of the hostages who have been freed emerged as a result of diplomatic negotiations. Talks toward a ceasefire that could have seen more hostages released collapsed in July. A joint statement issued Saturday by nine countries including Germany, Britain and France said they “strongly reject” Israel’s decision for the large-scale military operation. It will worsen the “catastrophic…
If you ever venture to visit Katon Karagay in the Altay mountains in Kazakhstan, which you should because it is the greenest and most tranquil national park in Kazakhstan, most knowledgeable people will tell you that you should enter through the “gate of Katon”. The gate can be found around 400 kilometres from the picturesque mountain range and its valleys. Enough to spark my curiosity. Katon Karagay is a region at the heart of the Altay mountain range where the borders of Kazakhstan, Russia and China meet. It is a cascade of lush green valleys in between mountains, some of…
What? Summerween. It’s Halloween – the spooky decor, candy eating and horror movie watching – but in summer! Why? Because Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total… No Mean Girls quotes, please. Sorry, what we meant to say is, we have no definitive answers to that question. But it’s likely because people are drawn to the cosy ambience, campy costumes, and gothic aesthetics of Halloween. Younger generations in particular are big fans of the holiday, with 54 per cent of 18-24 year old Brits viewing it positively, according to a YouGov survey. …
“We remain committed to the principle that international borders must not be changed by force,” the leaders stressed. Trump said on Friday that there will be “some swapping of territories” as part of a ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine, a proposition that was quickly rejected by Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy said Kyiv is “ready to work together with President Trump,” but any decisions made without Ukraine are “unworkable,” he added. Ukraine and its allies have no doubts “about America’s ability to ensure that the war ends,” Zelenskyy said in a separate statement. “The President of the United States has the leverage and the…

When you think of a cyber attack, most of us imagine a classic hacker—a man in a hoodie, hunched alone over his computer, accessing a company’s network remotely. But that’s not always the case. Despite office security desks, it’s easy to disguise yourself and simply walk in, a cyber security trainer told Euronews. “Many people, when they see a high vis top, they think: ‘Oh this person’s an engineer’ or something like that, and then just let them walk through.” While we’re all aware of cyber attacks and the increasing threat they pose to businesses—particularly in light of recent attacks…
The decisions to recognize a Palestian state come amid mounting international condemnation of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer describing the “suffering and starvation” in Gaza as “unspeakable and indefensible.” Rubio said in the Thursday interview that those decisions showed Hamas that it was being rewarded for its actions. “If I’m Hamas, I’d basically conclude: ‘Let’s not do a ceasefire, we can be rewarded, we can claim it as a victory,’ ” Rubio said. The U.S. pulled out of the ceasefire talks on the same day that France said it would recognize Palestinian…
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier Saturday, Starmer said in the same statement. According to a summary of that call, the two leaders agreed that the meeting taking place on Saturday in Kent would be a “vital forum to discuss progress towards securing a just and lasting peace” in Ukraine. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen “has been in contact with EU leaders in preparation of the meeting” and will “remain in regular contact with them also on the outcomes of the meeting,” Commission spokesperson Anitta Hipper said in an emailed statement.
