More than 72 million people in the EU were classed “at risk of poverty” in 2024, representing 16.2% of the population. Even so, living on the breadline looks vastly different when comparing poverty thresholds between countries. The “at-risk-of-poverty rate” is the share of people whose median equivalised disposable income falls below a given threshold. This threshold is set at 60% of the national median income. However, Eurostat points out that this indicator does not measure wealth or actual poverty. Rather, it reflects low income compared with others in the same country, which “does not necessarily imply a low standard of…

Kazakhstan expressed its support for the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) and Armenian Crossroads of Peace initiative during Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan visit to its capital, Astana. “We also confirm our interest in participating in the TRIPP project. Connecting these strategic corridors with the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR) and the North-South Corridor is in the interests of both countries,” Tokayev said. For Kazakhstan, the route, also referred to as the Zangezur Corridor by Azerbaijan and Turkey, is a way to diversify its transport routes. “The Zangezur Corridor is primarily about diversifying,” said Deputy Prime Minister,…
The talks will be held at the level of national security advisers, while Bjoern Seibert, the head of cabinet for European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, is expected to represent the EU. Among other points, the Europeans are expected to push Trump’s team to dilute their proposal for handing territory in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine to Russia.

Ukraine and its…
By EURONEWS with AP Published on 22/11/2025 – 18:54 GMT+1 United Nations climate talks in Brazil have reached a subdued agreement to provide more funding to countries hit hardest by climate change to help them adapt to extreme weather. But the deal does not include a detailed roadmap to phase out fossil fuels or to strengthen inadequate emissions-cutting plans. The Brazilian presidency said it would eventually draw up a roadmap to move away from fossil fuels in cooperation with hardline Colombia, but it would not carry the same weight as one approved at the United Nations’ COP30 summit. This is a…

We are also concerned by the proposed limitations on Ukraine’s armed forces, which would leave Ukraine vulnerable to future…
G20 leaders adopted a statement addressing the climate crisis and other global issues at the start of the G20 conference in South Africa on Saturday, a declaration that comes amid US boycott and opposition and as EU leaders responded to a US-proposed peace plan for Ukraine.
