“The government of Emmanuel Macron decided that my public comments … represented an immediate danger to the Republic,” she wrote on social media. “My behavior … consists of living in France for nearly ten years in compliance with the law, paying my taxes, but also having an opinion and expressing it as part of my work as a journalist,” she added. According to the expulsion order seen by daily Libération, Fedorova was accused of “destabilizing public order,” spreading “disinformation” and acting “as a conduit for disinformation campaigns led by the Russian authorities.” Fedorova headed RT France before it was shut…
As Spain battles to contain wildfires amidst reports of another heatwave, misleading claims about the response to the blaze and its origins have spread online. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez himself has urged the public to rely on credible information and warned about the spread of false claims. Speaking in Almería on 13 July following a visit to the site of the fire in Los Gallardos in south-eastern Spain, he called the role of the media “crucial” in combatting “misinformation”, adding that the spread of false information can make an emergency more difficult. Later on, on 27 July, Sánchez thanked…

A visa-on-arrival scheme for Turkish travellers to visit 12 Greek islands has greatly simplified access to this corner of the EU, which was previously off-limits without a hard-to-get Schengen visa. Introduced in April 2024, the scheme, known in Türkiye as the “door visa” (kapi vizesi), initially covered 10 Greek islands before being renewed and expanded to 12 last year. The list of islands in the Aegean Sea – all near the Turkish coast – includes Chios, Kalymnos, Kastellorizo, Kos, Leros, Lesvos, Limnos, Patmos, Rhodes, Samos, Samothraki and Symi. It allows Turkish citizens to visit participating islands for up to seven…
Nuñez’s office did not immediately provide additional details on where the increased controls would take place. France is part of the Schengen area but has repeatedly renewed its authorization to proceed with temporary internal border checks since the November 2015 Paris terrorist attacks, using provisions in the Schengen Borders Code that allow such measures in response to serious security threats. But the images of people pouring into Ceuta, an autonomous city of about 80,000 people and one of the European Union’s only two land borders with Africa, have drawn scrutiny far beyond Paris — especially among right-wing and far-right parties…

BERLIN – Anmerken lässt sich Katherina Reiche die Gerüchte um ihre Person an diesem Montag in Baden-Württemberg nicht. Sie ist zu Besuch bei den Auszubildenden und Studenten des Unternehmens Trumpf, scheint gut gelaunt zu sein, lächelt viel. Dabei hat Reiche kurz zuvor Gitta Connemann, ihre wichtigste Staatssekretärin, verloren. Der Termin in Ditzingen geht deshalb rund eine Stunde später los als geplant. Reiche war digital zugeschaltet im CDU-Vorstand, wo Connemanns Wechsel verkündet wurde. Nun steht Reiche gut zehn Meter vor drei jungen Auszubildenden und Studenten des Technologiekonzerns im Ausbildungszentrum, einem modernen Oktagon-Gebäude aus viel Holz, Rohbeton und Glasfassade. Die jungen Menschen…
Published on 31/07/2026 – 10:03 GMT+2 The European Commission is running short on capacity to manage several accession processes at the same time — and the worst may be yet to come. The EU executive’s Directorate-General for Enlargement and the Eastern Neighbourhood (DG ENEST) is facing a mounting capacity challenge, according to three sources with knowledge of the matter. Ironically, the strain is due to the bloc’s booming enlargement drive: more negotiating chapters have closed in the past six months than in the past decade. Montenegro, the “frontrunner”, is currently having its accession treaty drafted and aims to become the…
Drone footage shows a giant portrait of UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham covering farmland in northern England. The large-scale artwork bears the message: ‘5.1 million more deaths by 2030. People can’t wait. Reinstate humanitarian aid now.’ The installation was created by arts organisation Sand In Your Eye in partnership with the charity Concern Worldwide. Designed to be seen from the air, the artwork aims to draw attention to cuts to humanitarian aid and encourage the government to restore funding. By placing the message across farmland, the organisers hope the image will bring renewed attention to the issue as the new…
