Published on 05/08/2026 – 9:06 GMT+2 A boed i’r Grym fod gyda chi. That’s what many Welsh Star Wars fans will be saying instead of “May the Force be with you” later this year. Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the first Star Wars film, Star Wars: A New Hope (1977), and to celebrate the milestone, the iconic sci-fi adventure has been dubbed into the Welsh language – Cymraeg – for the very first time. The new translation marks a collaboration with Welsh language broadcaster S4C and the Welsh Government. Lucasfilm co-president Lynwen Brennan, who was born and raised…
A 52‑year‑old vegetable seller in Kherson has described how a Russian drone pursued him around his market van before detonating beside him. An attack captured on National Police CCTV cameras was described by Ukrainian officials as a wider pattern of “human safari” strikes on civilians. Yuriy says the day began like any other. He and his wife drove in to set up their stall, parking their van at a farmers’ market. “We had just started laying out the vegetables. I had only set up the umbrellas and begun taking the crates out. My wife was there too,” the 52‑year‑old said…
As soon as I arrived, I learnt that a demonstration against the government had just been called, and I made arrangements to go and film it. By then, it made no difference that the Interior Ministry was insisting that almost all the migrants had returned to Morocco. To the chants of “Ceuta is not for sale”, “Pedro Sánchez, resign!” and “Ceuta, united, will never be defeated!”, those present said they felt abandoned, humiliated and betrayed. “This cannot be, Spain cannot have such a useless intelligence service that it has no idea what is going on in Ceuta,” one woman told…
Hundreds of people living on the slopes of Guatemala’s Fuego volcano evacuated their homes throughout Tuesday after a huge eruption spewed lava and plumes of ash. Emergency services issued a red alert, the most severe warning, after Central America’s most active volcano erupted on Monday morning, with conditions intensifying by nightfall. Rivers of lava streamed down the 3,763-metre volcano located less than 100 kilometres from Guatemala City, while ash rose some six kilometres into the sky. “Since early morning it was active. That night, the alarm was raised that we needed to evacuate,” local resident Alejandro Garcia told the AFP…
PARIS — Entre ses interventions et interviews données à intervalles réguliers et sa récente lettre aux Français, Bernard Cazeneuve, pas encore officiellement candidat, avance ses pions petit à petit dans la campagne présidentielle. En matière d’énergie, notamment, l’ancien Premier ministre compte faire entendre une voix singulière à gauche. La décarbonation n’est “pas une option” pour celui qui, comme tous ses concurrents, érige la souveraineté énergétique en objectif prioritaire et pense qu’il faut électrifier la France pour résoudre le problème de surproduction d’électricité. Il défend une “économie décarbonée qui ne soit pas une écologie punitive”, décrypte son entourage. Sauf que Bernard…

April 2026 marked the completion of Artemis II, the second mission in NASA’s programme to return humans to the Moon. The endeavour was complex: it required a successful lift-off with the Space Launch System (SLS), one of the most powerful rockets ever built, and it took four astronauts farther away from Earth than any humans had ever been before. But NASA’s next step in its Moon programme, Artemis III, is no less critical. According to Jeremy Parsons, the Artemis programme manager, it can easily be considered “one of the most complex and ambitious missions NASA has ever undertaken”. But what…
A heated race is currently underway in Japan. The prize? The honour of being crowned the Japanese secondary capital. With Japanese lawmakers approving a bill to designate at least one more destination as a backup capital, soon, Tokyo will be joined by another political and economic centre. Why the need for this move? This is rooted in disaster preparedness. In 2026 alone, Japan has been beset by strong earthquakes, severe tropical storms and record snowfall. While the country has one of the world’s most disaster-tested infrastructures, the move aims to ensure the government can continue operating, even if Tokyo is…
Europe wants to kick its U.S. tech habit, but it’s struggling to detangle itself from American data analytics firm Palantir. The problem is, the company’s tools are already deeply embedded in critical sectors across the bloc like policing, national defense and health systems. A report released today also shows that the tech firm has found ways to pay minimal taxes in Europe. On the show, hosts Zoya Sheftalovich and Ian Wishart discuss European alternatives and why detaching is easier said than done. Next, our colleague Seb Starcevic has interviewed Mediterranean Commissioner Dubravka Šuica. The role that was originally thought to be low profile has instead thrust the Croatian…
