How far does a household’s income go when buying a home? In 17 EU countries, it bought less in 2025 than it did a decade earlier. Eurostat’s house price-to-income ratio, showing how household income is changing relative to house prices, rose by 6.8% across the EU over that period, though it fell in 10 member states. Meanwhile, house prices in the EU rose by 62% in the ten years to the second quarter of 2026.

A US soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reprimanded Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group of advisers and staff during a visit to Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day. Video shows Hegseth, his wife Jennifer and members of his team posing for photographs on the steps in front of the memorial.

Van Hollen, who has support from some of the more vocal progressives within the party, is the first…
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made his opposition clear Thursday, calling the participation of the E3 countries in talks on Ukraine “a well-established format.” “We are also working together on this task with five representatives — from Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Poland. I see absolutely no problem with keeping it that way,” he said. Paris also has little incentive to hand over its seat at the table. France is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and possesses Europe’s only nuclear arsenal, giving it diplomatic and military leverage that no EU institution can replicate, French MEP…
