The UK is ever popular as a tourist destination thanks to its rich history, beautiful landscapes and endless things to do. It’s also renowned for offering fabulous accommodation from Scotland to the far west of Cornwall. Now, UK-based newspaper The Telegraph has launched a guide to The 250 Best Hotels in the UK, all of which represent the very best that hospitality has to offer. The hotels featured were whittled down from 2,000 of the paper’s reviews, undertaken by its hotels team. Each was chosen thanks to a range of criteria, including location, service, facilities, character, rooms, food and drink…
If elected, Bardella would lead Europe’s second-largest economy, one of NATO’s most powerful militaries and the European Union’s only nuclear power. Yet rather than embracing Trump, Bardella is warning that Europe must prepare for a future in which Washington is no longer willing to guarantee the continent’s security. “The Americans are allies, and they will remain so,” he said. “But they are allies who no longer intend to come to Europe’s rescue or to remain the umbrella and protector of European countries.” “President Trump’s second term is very significantly different from the first,” he added, noting Trump was “harder to…

Family holidays are all about striking a balance. How can a term-time getaway be exciting, and as stress free as possible, for adults, teens and tots? If there’s anyone who can speak to maintaining equilibrium it would be Greg Rutherford. A long jump gold medallist for Team GB on “Super Saturday” at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Rutherford also won bronze at Rio 2016 as well as medals at the Commonwealth Games, European Championships, Diamond League and World Championships. In 2018, the Olympian announced his retirement, saying to The Guardian that due to injuries at the time, he could barely…
The Cameroon-flagged vessel will now be moved to the south coast of England and monitored for any environmental and safety concerns, the ministry said, adding that it was boarded under United Nations maritime law. The incident marks the first time the U.K. has intercepted a Russian-linked vessel since Moscow began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than four years ago. France, Estonia and Finland have previously boarded suspicious ships, as Ukraine’s European backers increasingly opt for a more muscular approach in enforcing sanctions against Russia. The Times previously reported that the Royal Navy had not carried out any seizures of…
Published on 14/06/2026 – 10:20 GMT+2 Australia launched their World Cup campaign with an impressive 2-0 win against Turkey on Saturday night, with the Socceroos going joint top of Group D alongside the United States, who also started the tournament strongly with a victory over Paraguay on Friday. Two fine finishes from Watford’s Nestory Irankunda and St. Pauli midfielder Connor Metcalfe, as well as a solid performance in net from young goalkeeper Patrick Beach, sealed Turkey’s fate in Vancouver. Aussie winger Irankunda, who took home the player of the match award, broke the deadlock in the 27th minute with a…
For many of us, the answer to the question “what do you want to be when you grow up?” was always the same: A pilot. (If we’re being honest, the answer for some is probably the same now, even if we’ve found ourselves working in other industries in the years since). Still holding onto that love of flying? Then you might just want to check out Google Earth’s free flight simulator. Launched on 12 June, the new tool allows you to explore the globe from above. Aimed at casual users rather than professionals, you’ll be able to see 3D buildings…
BRUSSELS — The U.S. order to suspend foreigners’ access to Anthropic’s latest models is a stark reminder for Europe that it’s heavily reliant on American AI models — and that the window to change that is closing. The U.S. Commerce Department on Friday ordered Anthropic to cut non-U.S. citizens’ access to the company’s latest models. Anthropic suspended access for everyone, including U.S. citizens. Europe got the message: for the first time, Washington had pulled the plug on Europeans’ access to U.S. cutting-edge technology. The use of a “kill switch,” long seen as a hypothetical threat, is a wake-up call for…
Thousands of New York Knicks fans celebrated across the city on Saturday night after the team defeated the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 to win its first NBA championship since 1973. Supporters gathered outside Madison Square Garden and at watch parties across the city before pouring into the streets at the final buzzer. Fans cheered, waved team colours, took photos and chanted as fireworks lit up the night sky. Many described the victory as a historic moment for the city, ending a 53-year wait for an NBA title. Drivers honked their horns while strangers hugged and celebrated together in scenes of…
Which city will be next to follow suit? After several major urban areas such as Toulouse and Clermont-Ferrand, the town of Moulins (19,000 inhabitants) has in turn introduced (source in French) on Friday a night-time curfew for under-16s for the duration of the FIFA World Cup. This measure follows several episodes of urban violence in recent weeks, notably after PSG’s Champions League victory. In the Pink City, the effects of this curfew will be seen for the first time on Saturday evening, coinciding with the highly anticipated clash between Brazil and Morocco. The municipality led by Jean-Luc Moudenc, a centre-right…
