In a world crippled with uncertainty, one thing is for sure: 2026 will go down in history as the year that Donald Trump single-handedly unravelled decades of climate progress. Since his return to the White House, the POTUS and his administration have turned their back on science, ruthlessly retreating from global pledges and institutions to prioritise the profits of big polluters. It’s stripping the US – which remains the world’s largest historical polluter – of any kind of accountability, while the world edges dangerously close to irreversible climate disaster. But here’s the thing, climate change and its devastating effects do…

European Commissioner for Sport Glenn Micallef said he respected the International Olympic Committee’s decision to disqualify a Ukrainian skeleton racer over his custom helmet featuring portraits of fallen Ukrainian athletes, while expressing sadness that “the situation could not be resolved.” Vladyslav Heraskevych was disqualified before his first run at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics, after the IOC banned him from using his custom-made helmet, which features portraits of Ukrainian athletes killed in Russia’s full-scale invasion since early 2022. The helmet does not display any slogans or political symbols. Speaking exclusively on Euronews’ Europe Today morning show, Micallef said he appreciated…
By Toby Gregory Published on 13/02/2026 – 13:19 GMT+1•Updated 14:42 On the sidelines of the World Governments Summit, Dr. Shaikha Salem Al Dhaheri, Secretary General of the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi, told Euronews that science-led policy and long-term regulation can reverse environmental damage to oceans and coastal ecosystems. Asked about the scale of the challenges facing the world’s seas, Al Dhaheri said climate change and human activity are placing unprecedented pressure on coastal communities and marine biodiversity. “Many, many cities around the world are placed in front of water, are coastal cities,” she said. “And today, we know that climate…
“The Schengen area is sliced up like Swiss cheese,” said Slovenian Socialist MEP Matjaž Nemec, a member of the European Parliament’s Schengen borders scrutiny group. “As long as the Commission turns a blind eye to blatant violations of EU law and allows large countries like Germany and France to get away with them with impunity, the future of the EU looks bleak.” Our investigation found that Germany had issued alerts for Ukrainian refugees once held in Russian-controlled penal institutions, blocking them from entering the European Union. Although Ukrainian authorities said the list of former prisoners had been shared with law-enforcement…
Published on 13/02/2026 – 10:31 GMT+1 I prepared some numbers for you. Maybe use them as a pick-up line? Europeans are waiting longer to have children, and there is no sign that will change anytime soon. But here is the twist: delaying parenthood does not necessarily mean giving up on children. In fact, the EU countries where women wait the longest are also the countries with higher fertility rates. And that also might explain the explosion in fertility treatments, which allow couples to extend their window of opportunity. In 2021 alone, there were over 1 million treatment cycles across Europe.…
The United States will deploy the USS Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier to the Middle East to join another carrier already in the region, an official said on Friday, as US President Donald Trump seeks to pressure Iran into negotiations over its nuclear programme. The deployment will place two carriers and their accompanying warships in the area. The USS Abraham Lincoln and its guided-missile destroyers are already positioned in the Arabian Sea, according to a person familiar with the plans who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss military movements. The news of the deployment came as Trump warned Tehran…
By Pascale Davies & AP Published on 13/02/2026 – 12:48 GMT+1•Updated 12:50 A fresh team of astronauts launched toward the International Space Station on Friday aboard a SpaceX rocket, set to take over for crew members who had been brought back to Earth in what marked NASA’s first medical evacuation from orbit. NASA requested the expedited launch to quickly fill the positions left vacant by the evacuated astronauts. The incoming crew—comprising astronauts from the United States, France, and Russia—is scheduled for an eight- to nine-month stay that will extend through until autumn. They arrive on Saturday and will restore the space station to…
Ammori argued the move by the Home Office disproportionately interfered with freedom of expression and freedom of assembly, which the court concurred with. Judges also said the ban was not consistent with the government’s policy to limit the ability to declare groups as terrorist organizations. “The nature and scale of Palestine Action’s activities falling within the definition of terrorism had not yet reached the level, scale and persistence to warrant proscription,” the summary read. However, Judge Sharp said the ban will not be lifted until a further court order “pending the possibility of an appeal.” In its judgment, the court…
