Published on 21/11/2025 – 15:00 GMT+1 Based in Budapest, Shapr3D has developed a software that allows fast, easy, interactive 3D modelling of manufactured products, from robotic arms to bikes or shavers, from wheels to coffee machines. It was founded by software engineer and young entrepreneur István Csanády, who claims they have developed “a game-changing technology”. The company currently boasts hundreds of thousands of monthly active users, who are able to turn complex ideas into tailor-made 3D models in a matter of hours or days, instead of weeks or months. Tens of thousands of those users are paying customers, including big…

A quote from the actual book was released as a teaser. It begins: “In prison, there is nothing to see, and nothing to do,” which does rather beg the question — what are you going to write 216 pages about? He adds that “silence … does not exist at La Santé [prison in Paris]” but that noise “is alas constant.” Did prison break Sarkozy? Of course not, as he writes, “like [in] the desert, inner life strengthens in prison.” Sarkozy, 70, was imprisoned after being found guilty of allowing “close collaborator” and “unofficial intermediaries” to try to obtain funding from Moammar…
Progress on recycling materials across the European Union hasn’t been outstanding in the past decade. Between 2015 and 2024, the rate of recycling across the bloc increased by only one percentage point: From 11.2% to 12.2%, according to the latest Eurostat data. When it comes to avoiding the extraction of new raw materials, one country, the Netherlands, stands out among all others, with a rate of nearly 33%. Neighbouring Belgium comes in second place with 22.7%, followed by Italy in third place with almost 22%. At the bottom of the table, with the lowest recycling rate, is Romania, with just…
Hon Hai presented a demonstrator version of its new Model A electric car. The vehicle has a right hand driving seat and is aimed initially at the Japanese market, with affordability a key selling point. The company says it hopes the model will appeal to taxi and logistics drivers, and to passengers who need more space inside compact vehicles. The event brought together industry leaders from Nvidia, Google and OpenAI, with discussions focusing on data security, cloud computing and the future of affordable electric cars.
NATO should also agree to “not accept Ukraine at any moment in the future” and “not to deploy its troops in Ukraine,” according to the text. In return, Russia would commit to not attack again and be granted reintegration into the global economy, including potential sanctions relief that will be discussed “on a case-by-case basis” and an invitation to return to the G7 — which was formerly the G8 before Russia was booted out in 2014 after its illegal annexation of Crimea and military intervention in eastern Ukraine. Crimea, and the Ukrainian regions of Luhansk and Donetsk will be recognized…
The Indian HAL Tejas, a combat aircraft used in the Indian Air Force, crashed around 2:10pm local time after the pilot had flown across the site of the biennial air show in Dubai several times.

Published on 21/11/2025 – 13:32 GMT+1 Thailand is one of the world’s most reliably carefree travel destinations, a place where backpackers, families, retirees and luxury jetsetters alike come for island-hopping, full moon beach parties, late-night street food and a famously easy-going vibe. But beneath that reputation is a surprisingly strict approach to alcohol. Now, one of the country’s most long-standing restrictions on drinks may be on the chopping block. For decades, Thailand has barred alcohol sales between 2 pm and 5 pm, a midday dry window that has often vexed and sometimes ensnared unsuspecting travellers. That could soon change. The…

In his letter to prosecutors, Margetić cites a 1993 video and purported wartime interviews, along with testimony from Bosnian officials as evidence that Vučić was a “war volunteer” in Sarajevo in 1992 and 1993, and a member of the New Sarajevo Chetnik Detachment of the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS).

Responding to the allegations about the 1993 footage, which allegedly shows him holding a sniper rifle alongside other armed men at the cemetery, Vučić insisted: “I have never in my life held a…
