Facing growing vulnerability, the European Union wants to step up efforts to keep pace with the evolving landscape of war technology. Brussels is pushing to accelerate the leap from research labs to real-world deployment, demanding faster, more flexible innovation to confront a new era of security threats.

Since the 18th century, this sanctuary has been home to the remains of millions of Parisians. From the anonymous figures of the Revolution to the great figures of history, it is the very soul of the capital that rests here, frozen in limestone. After five months of work, necessary for preservation and safety reasons, as well as to ensure the safety and enjoyment of the 600,000 or so visitors per…
Fünf Tage vor der Wahl in Ungarn wackelt die Macht von Viktor Orbán wie seit 15 Jahren nicht mehr.

Zoya Sheftalovich and Ian Wishart unpack growing frustration with how the EU makes foreign policy, as divisions over Ukraine funding, Russia sanctions and the war in Iran expose the pitfalls of the veto. With calls — led by Germany and Sweden — mounting to scrap unanimity in foreign and security policy, the question is becoming harder to avoid: Can the EU still act together when it matters most? They also discuss the fallout from the war in Iran, which is already landing in Europe. Energy prices are…
