The Venice Film Festival, which came to an end this weekend, is usually seen as an early indicator for awards season, leading up to next year’s Academy Awards. It has frequently launched successful Oscar campaigns, and this year’s 83rd edition has kickstarted plenty of early awards buzz for John Malkovich. The veteran actor won the prestigious Best Actor award at Venice’s closing award ceremony on Saturday for his role as Chris in the dark comedy Wild Horse Nine by Martin McDonaugh (In Bruges, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, The Banshees of Inisherin). The film follows two CIA officer who are…

After receiving two of the biggest political donations in history – £36m each from crypto billionaires Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne. Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy examine the political fallout – are the donations legal, will the government legislate to stop them and how does this vast sum of money influence British politics? Elsewhere at the TUC conference in Brighton, the unions are ramping up the pressure on the government to deliver more for workers. Plus, could former prime minister, Liz Truss, really be plotting a return to…
Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs says the EU must “remain strong” in the face of Russian aggression, insisting that “the one who prepares for the worst has peace” in an exclusive interview with Euronews. Kulbergs said European politicians have a “clear understanding” of the Russian threat and a “commitment” to security, even though wider society is “still behind”. For Kulbergs, there is only “one way” to deal with Russia: “to deter it by force”.
Falling drone debris set fire to a petrol station and several trucks near the Yahodyn border crossing in western Ukraine, according to Valentyna Chernysh, a spokesperson for the Volyn Customs Service.

Published on 14/09/2026 – 8:33 GMT+2 It’s a rare occasion when both the GOP and Democratic officials show unity, but it seems Dolly Parton was one of the rare cultural figures to bring everyone together in the US. And that has been proven once again. In an uncommon display of bipartisan agreement, especially for the Republican-dominated state government and Democrat-controlled city government in Tennessee, both sides have agreed to rename Nashville International Airport after much-missed singer Dolly Parton. The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority board of commissioners voted 6-0 to start the process of changing the airport’s name in memory of…
More than 48,000 EU residents died as a result of intentional self-harm in 2023, according to the latest Eurostat data — a number that has been slowly dropping over the past decade. It is equivalent to a standardised death rate of 10.4 per 100,000 people, declining slightly from 10.6 in 2022 and 12.2 in 2013. The number of deaths by suicide per 100,000 residents was highest in Lithuania (18.8), Slovenia (16.4) and Hungary (16.1). In contrast, the lowest rates were registered in Cyprus (3.5), Greece (4.3) and Malta (5.5). “Suicide is complex and most of the time there isn’t one…
As spooky season nears, the chills and thrills are ramping up for this week’s new releases. Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil adaptation has been one of our most highly anticipated horror movies of the year, and from the trailer alone looks to be full of hand-over-eyes tension (those spidery looking limbs on the door frame — ahhh!) Of course, if gore and jump scares aren’t your thing, Aardman Animations (the genius studio behind Wallace and Gromit) have a much cosier and baaaa-rmier approach to cinematic scares with Shaun the Sheep: the Beast of Mossy Bottom. For pure inspiration, head to London’s…
The Canadian prime minister has instructed his special envoy to Europe, John Hannaford, to scope out the most ambitious possibilities short of full membership in the bloc or its single market, one official confirmed. Critical raw materials The EU has a growing appetite for critical raw materials — used in everything from batteries and solar panels to mobile phones. Canada has abundant reserves of copper, molybdenum, aluminum, nickel, lithium, cobalt and rare earth elements, as well as the mines, smelters and refineries capable of processing them. “Canada is of course the huge source of critical minerals,” EU Trade Commissioner Maroš…
