In a matter of weeks, the Iran conflict has rewritten Europe’s energy calculus. The benchmark Dutch TTF natural gas price has jumped from €38 per megawatt-hour to €54 month-to-date — a 70% increase that puts March 2026 on course to be the strongest monthly increase for European gas prices since September 2021. It is a number that carries weight far beyond energy markets. Europe’s gas vulnerability is not evenly distributed Europe entered this crisis already in a fragile position. Underground gas storage stood at just 28.4%, or 325 terawatt-hours, as of 24 March — 5 percentage points below the same…
Published on 27/03/2026 – 7:00 GMT+1 Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots that offer support for personal issues could be reinforcing harmful beliefs by excessively agreeing with the user, a new study found. Researchers from the American university Stanford measured sycophancy, the extent to which an AI flatters or validates a user, across 11 leading AI models, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT 4-0, Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini, Meta Llama-3, Qwen, DeepSeek and Mistral. To see how these systems handled moral ambiguity, the researchers turned to more than 11,000 posts from r/AmITheAsshole, a Reddit community where people confess conflicts and ask strangers to judge whether…
By Fakhriya M. Suleiman Published on 27/03/2026 – 7:00 GMT+1 US-based residential cruise company Fabled Voyages has announced a soon-to-launch “Pets Onboard” programme that will allow residents to be able to live with the furry companions. The move comes as the cruise company seeks to address a “key barrier” to long-term travel by creating a home at sea that includes pets. “Pets are family for many of our future residents,” said Madison Miller, Founder and CEO of Fabled Voyages. “Our responsibility was to design a programme that respects that bond while maintaining comfort, safety, and harmony on board.” Subject to size,…
In der SPD geht die Sorge vor den Geistern der Vergangenheit um: Lars Klingbeils Reform-Rede weckt Erinnerungen an Gerhard Schröder und Franz Müntefering. Männer, die das Land modernisierten, aber ihre Partei in die Opposition führten. Heute trifft sich die SPD-Spitze mit Landes- und Kommunalpolitikern, um über Klingbeils Vorschläge zu beraten. Rixa Fürsen und Rasmus Buchsteiner analysieren, ob das Treffen zum Aufbruch oder zum Krisengipfel wird. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview dazu: Jochen Ott, SPD-Fraktionschef im Landtag von Nordrhein-Westfalen und Spitzenkandidat der NRW-SPD für die Wahl 2027. Während Berlin über die Reformen streitet, ist Verteidigungsminister Boris Pistorius am anderen Ende der Welt unterwegs. Für…
By Ana Filipa Palma with Euronews Published on 17/03/2026 – 17:32 GMT+1 The long queues at Lisbon airport’s border control may be about to diminish. At least, that’s the aim of the new European mobile application, “Travel to Europe”. This new app allows travellers from third countries to pre-register their travel information before arriving at border control. Through the app, travellers can enter their personal and travel details, as well as answer a short questionnaire on entry conditions. This process is available up to 72 hours in advance. The Entry/Exit System (EES), which has been in place since October, has faced difficulties related…
The far right took some minor hits to its seemingly impenetrable armor this week, as people in Denmark, Italy, France and Slovenia headed to the polls. But those election results also told another, more existential story: the slow-motion collapse of the EU’s center left. To unpack what’s ailing left-leaning parties across the bloc, host Sarah Wheaton is joined by a panel of POLITICO colleagues: Clea Caulcutt in Paris, James Angelos in Berlin, and Iberian correspondent Aitor Hernández-Morales. Plus, an excerpt from an exclusive interview by POLITICO’s Tim Ross with Finland’s President Alexander Stubb — who has a stark warning about…

“Diplomacy is rarely a transaction,” he said. “I mean, interest can be transactional, but even then, you should find mutual interest. And what we’re seeing now is the demise of international institutions or rules exactly at a time in history when we need them more than ever — whether it’s about solving conflicts, solving climate change, solving ethical issues linked to artificial intelligence or biotechnology, solving development.” And, he added: “Some people are creating this illusion that you can live in a world with national boundaries and that we’re not interdependent, and I think nothing is further from the truth,…
There are few greater joys in life than checking into a hotel, chucking on a plush robe and ordering room service. We could hardly imagine anything that would make the experience better until Hotels.com announced that it was “hiring” people to do just that. The hotel booking platform has just unveiled a new competition where people can apply for one of three “jobs”: Room service critic, robe researcher, or hotel gym rater. Rather than actual roles, the winners will receive a €4,300 gift card to be used towards a stay, and they’ll be asked to report back afterwards with a…
