Unmittelbar vor dem Besuch von Šefčovič waren Autos in den Mittelpunkt der Diskussionen gerückt, obwohl sie nur einen Bruchteil des Handelsdefizits ausmachen. Eine Einigung sollte weitere Schutzmaßnahmen der EU gegen Chinas Autoexporte abwenden. Denkbar ist auch, dass sie als Blaupause für andere Branchen dienen könnte. Die EU hatte im Oktober 2024 bereits Ausgleichszölle von bis zu 35 Prozent auf reine E-Autos aus China verhängt. Hybride waren davon aber ausgenommen. Während europäische Hersteller wie VW ihre Marktanteile bei rein batterieelektrischen Autos seither stabilisieren konnten, ist der Import von Hybrid-Autos aus China sprunghaft angestiegen. Šefčovič sollte in Kürze in Peking vor Journalisten…

By Euronews Persian, Euronews Russian Published on 09/10/2026 – 13:53 GMT+2 Vladimir Putin pledged to do “everything in our power” to help end the war between Iran and the US on Thursday, positioning Russia as a would-be Middle East mediator while continuing his own full-scale invasion of Ukraine, now in its fifth year. The Russian president made the remarks at a bilateral meeting with his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian in Avazeh, on Turkmenistan’s Caspian coast, praising Tehran for making what he called “genuine efforts” to resolve the war. Pezeshkian said Iran and the US had exchanged proposals to end the war…
Wall Street looks set to recover some ground on Friday morning after confusion over how much money OpenAI, the ChatGPT maker, is actually bringing in shook investor faith in the artificial intelligence boom. Nasdaq 100 futures were around 0.8% higher, and S&P 500 futures were up 0.4% in early trading on Friday. On Thursday, the Financial Times reported that OpenAI’s annualised revenue, which projects recent sales over a full year, was “approaching $50 billion (€44.6bn)” at the end of September, according to figures shared with investors. That is about $20 billion (€17.8bn) less than the company projected last month. The…
According to information obtained by Euronews, the presence of the Russian club Sintez Kazan in the qualifying group of the Euro Cup in water polo, hosted by Apollon Smyrnis at the Serafeio Swimming Pool of the City of Athens, was accompanied by intense diplomatic manoeuvring behind the scenes. This tournament marked the official return of Russian teams to European cross-border sports competitions, after their abrupt removal when Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine. The draw carried out by the European confederation meant that this comeback would take place in Greece. This, however, did not go unnoticed by the Greek government,…
The CEO of Dubai Airports has said that aircraft technology improvements, with smaller planes able to fly longer distances, will “change the shape of travel”. Talking at a roundtable on the sidelines of the World Travel & Tourism Council’s Global Summit in Malta, Paul Griffiths spoke about the expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), noting that there are plans to have direct connections from Dubai to more than 600 cities. “The great thing, of course, is aircraft technology is changing all the time, and with smaller aircraft able to fly longer distances we’ll have all of those secondary cities…
AI safety and security — topics currently under intense scrutiny following a series of incidents in which advanced AI models hacked real-world networks during testing activities — are not the core focus of the JRC’s testing activities, according to a different Commission official, who was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive material. Open-weight models are those whose core components are publicly released, allowing anyone to run the model and study how it works. China’s approach to AI has leaned more towards open models than the United States. Some major U.S. tech and AI companies, including chips giant NVIDIA, are investing in…
High-level officials from Ukraine and Europe have flown to Miami, Florida, to take part in a new round of peace negotiations to end Russia’s full-scale invasion amid a new wave of escalation that has battered Ukrainian cities and killed scores of civilians. The talks, set to take place on Friday and Saturday, will be hosted by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the US special envoys, and will discuss several options to break the diplomatic impasse ahead of a winter expected to be the harshest yet of the war. Witkoff and Kushner’s recent trips to Moscow and Kyiv will inform the…
