What’s not? It’s a simple menu, so don’t go expecting haute cuisine. There are only nine food items on the list (compared with nearly 40 alcoholic drinks), which limits experimentation and means you’re strapped for starters and desserts.  My Recyclart cocktail was heavy on the rum and light on the bissap (not the worst problem, I know). The restaurant’s also only open three days a week — Wednesday to Friday. Vibe: A charmingly eclectic place tucked between the post-industrial Brussels canal and the edgy hubbub of nighttime Molenbeek. Think Berlin’s Kreuzberg before it was hip. There’s a big terrace for lunch goers and the…

Israeli media reported that some of the masked perpetrators shouted “Free Palestine” and that some of the victims’ passports were stolen. Ten people were hospitalized with injuries, according to the Times of Israel. Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof said he “followed the news from Amsterdam with horror.” “Completely unacceptable antisemitic attacks on Israelis,” Schoof wrote in a statement on social media, adding he had assured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that those responsible would be “tracked down and prosecuted.” Dutch police said in a statement that there had been a protest against the Israeli team prior to the match and…

Global stock markets are set to end the week on a strong note amid the US election and China’s highly anticipated additional stimulus measures. However, European benchmarks underperformed global peers due to economic concerns and political instability. Despite a broad rebound in European stock markets on Thursday, major benchmarks remained under pressure following Trump’s victory in the US election on a weekly basis. The pan-European Stoxx 600 index was flat for the week, contrasting with a 4.3% surge in the S&P 500 and a 5.6% rally in the China A50. This underperformance underscored the European economy’s fragility in response to…

Musk has been riding a high this week, after playing a key role in Donald Trump’s victorious campaign to take back the White House. Trump has indicated he would reward his billionaire supporter, vowing in a speech in September to establish a government efficiency commission headed by Musk if he won the election. But Musk has been on a collision course with European officials, fighting regulators and governments on multiple fronts. He has attracted criticism for his management of X, facing accusations that he has allowed hate speech to fester on the site. The latest development in his ongoing battle with the EU is…

Invité régulier des matinales radio et télé, Dominique de Villepin se sentira peut-être visé.

Westminster Insider heads to Washington to capture a historic election night that changed America — and the world. Host Emilio Casalicchio takes us on a wild ride across the political epicenter of the U.S. as the votes began flooding in and the crucial swing states fell to Donald Trump.  He spoke to hopeful Democratic campaigners in a plush club in downtown D.C. and excitable Trump fans packed into a dive bar on the less-polished eastern side of the city. As the results became clear, Emilio headed to the streets outside Howard University, where Kamala Harris no-showed her own election night…

And he has been courting him with phone calls. Only last month, Trump bragged of almost daily conversations with Netanyahu, saying he has a very good relationship with the Israeli leader. He told a rally: “Bibi called me yesterday, called me the day before.” He added that Netanyahu “wants my views on things.” And he promised he would work very closely with Bibi once back in the White House.  Despite the punchy line on stopping wars, Trump seems open to more Israeli action. The president-elect has also said Netanyahu must “finish the problem” in its war against Hamas. During the campaign, Trump criticized…

Explaining that he hasn’t phoned Trump himself “because the leaders of Western countries were calling me almost every week at some point, and then suddenly they stopped,” Putin added: “If any of them wants to resume contact, I have always said and I want to say again: we have nothing against it.” Asked whether he was prepared to hold discussions with Trump, even before he’s ingaurated, Putin said his administration is “ready, ready.” On the campaign trail, Trump claimed he’d stop the Russia-Ukraine war in one day and vowed to cut back U.S. funding for Kyiv. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy…
