By Euronews Roma Published on 28 October 2026 – 12:50 GMT+1 Across Europe, the production of satellites is increasingly being aligned with the pace of the manufacturing industry. That is the gamble behind the Stellar Hub, the new Space Industries factory inaugurated on 28 October in Settimo Torinese, just outside Turin: a plant designed to assemble, integrate and test satellites and spacecraft of up to 600 kilograms, bringing all the main production stages together under one roof. At its heart is a 2,000-square-metre clean room, among the largest in Europe. This is the space where Space Industries will concentrate the industrial…
Ryanair passengers checking luggage will need to drop their bags off at least 60 minutes before departure from next month. Currently, those travelling with the airline can use airport bag drop services up to 40 minutes ahead of scheduled departure. The change comes into effect at all airports it operates from on 10 November. First announced in April, the change was made to ensure customers have more time to clear airport security and passport control queues. According to Ryanair, just 20% of passengers currently check in bags on their flights. “This small change will give the 20% of Ryanair passengers…
Agatha Christie was volunteering at a hospital dispensary during World War I when an idea for a crime novel came to her. It would be about a wealthy matriarch, whose mysterious death-by-poisoning is ultimately solved by a fussy but fantastically smart Belgian detective named Hercule Poirot. Its title? “The Mysterious Affair at Styles”. After being rejected by several publishers, the book was finally published in 1921 in the United Kingdom — and was met with an underwhelming response. This would all change just five years later, when Christie’s “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd” shocked the world with its masterful twist.…
Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Zelenskyy praised the two Nordic leaders for their help, saying he had a “positive” view of them. “We really have very good relations with these countries. They truly help,” Zelenskyy said. The Ukrainian leader said Putin had been taken out of diplomatic isolation last year when U.S. President Donald Trump met him in Alaska. “Since Alaska, Europeans have also been in contact with Russia,” Zelenskyy said. “They just haven’t done so as openly as the leaders of Norway and Finland.” Everyone understands that there have been contacts “at the national security adviser level and between intelligence…
The crash occurred between Urda and Los Yébenes, in Toledo province, when a train travelling from Madrid towards Seville struck the rear of another that had stopped on the same track.

Jury selection is expected to begin on Wednesday in Los Angeles for another landmark trial in the US about the alleged harms of social media on young users, with Meta and, for the first time, Snap as defendants. Thousands of lawsuits have been filed in recent years in American courtrooms at local, state and federal level but also in European courtrooms in France, Italy, Denmark and the Netherlands, with claims about alleged harms to children and teenagers caused by social media companies and their platforms. Social media platforms are facing global pushback over the dangers of their algorithms, from social…
Two high-speed trains collided south of Madrid on Wednesday morning, months after the Adamuz train crash that killed dozens of people and shook Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s government. At least 30 people died and several were injured in the crash, which took place near Urda in Toledo province just before 9 a.m. local time, local authorities in Castilla-La Mancha told Spanish media. Officials fear the toll could exceed the 46 deaths in the Jan. 18 Adamuz crash, Spanish media reported, citing government sources. Emergency services said a Renfe train rear-ended a stationary Iryo train, causing two Iryo carriages to fall…
Some Hispanic voters in South Texas who backed Donald Trump in 2024 say they are now disappointed with Republicans over the economy, immigration and the cost of living ahead of the US midterm elections. Some say Republicans have failed to deliver on their promises, while others remain disappointed with Democrats over immigration reform. In the Rio Grande Valley, community advocates are encouraging eligible voters to cast their ballots despite fears surrounding immigration enforcement. As the midterms approach, economic pressures and immigration policy remain central to the debate over Hispanic voters’ political loyalties.
