Sonia Devillers, Philippe Jaenada, Amélie Nothomb, Philippe Besson, Ananda Devi. They all have one thing in common: they will be part of the 2026 literary season. Between now and October, some 461 novels, including 344 French titles, will reach bookshops. That is a slight drop compared with the previous year, when 484 books were published. For publishers and booksellers, this period is unmissable, all the more so at a time when reading is playing a smaller and smaller role in our daily lives. “The share of French people who spontaneously describe themselves as readers is falling across all categories, particularly…
Endspurt im Wahlkampf in Sachsen-Anhalt: Zwischen Plattenbauten in Halle-Neustadt steht für das Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) weit mehr auf dem Spiel als nur der Einzug in den Landtag. Sahra Wagenknecht skizziert ein Klima der extremen Polarisierung, in dem ihre Partei von zwei Seiten unter Beschuss gerät. Fällt die Brandmauer, oder zwingt das BSW die etablierten Parteien in völlig neue Bündnisse? Im Spannungsfeld zwischen der AfD um Ulrich Siegmund und den Altparteien kämpft das BSW um Sichtbarkeit und beklagt eine mediale Blockade. Wagenknecht zieht scharfe rote Linien zu Björn Höcke, fordert eine leistungsgerechte Aufstiegsgesellschaft und rechnet mit der Agenda-Politik von Gerhard…

Over the past eight years, we’ve lost approximately 15 percent of our industrial production. Month after month, Germany loses around 15,000 industrial jobs. And the industrial base that underpins our prosperity is starting to erode. Private net investment has fallen to almost zero. On balance, companies are doing nothing more than replacing what wears out. High costs are paralyzing companies’ willingness to invest. Even the special depreciation…
By Nela Heidner & Euronews Published on 05/09/2026 – 9:17 GMT+2•Updated 9:33 The hacker group “Rhysida” has published almost six terabytes of data from Berlin’s state administration on the dark web. Among the data is said to be highly sensitive information. The scale of the leak is enormous: 1,439,893 files. So far, there has been hardly any response from Berlin’s administration and political leaders. Among the published files is a folder titled “AG CBRN-Rahmenplanung.” CBRN stands for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats. This means that highly sensitive information about potential threat scenarios may now be publicly accessible and could also be viewed…

As Brussels enters the final stretch of negotiations over its next seven-year Multiannual Financial Framework, hidden within the budget debate is a strategic question: whether the EU is willing to invest in the partnerships and processing capacity needed to secure the critical raw materials on which its industrial future depends. Decisions taken this autumn will help determine whether the EU remains dependent on Chinese-controlled processing technology well into the next decade or begins its diversification towards new…
Published on 05/09/2026 – 8:51 GMT+2 At least two people were killed and 81 were injured following two blasts at an army base in Bolivia on Friday, authorities said. Bolivian Defence Minister Ernesto Justiniano said the powerful explosions occurred at the RAM-2 “Bolívar” General Maintenance Center in Viacha, southwest of the administrative capital La Paz.

The Russian assets are back on the table. And with them, the same old problems. Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain and Poland, backed by the Baltics, are leading a new push to channel the Russian Central Bank’s immobilised assets into additional financial support to Ukraine as the war-weary country faces ballooning costs. It did not take long for the campaign to collide with a familiar opponent: Belgium. The country holds the bulk of the €210 billion in Euroclear, a depository based in central Brussels, and fears any move to channel the funds to Ukraine would leave it exposed to unpredictable dangers…

They’ve done a great job, and we sent them over to see whether or not we can get something done. And there may be a good chance that we’ll do it,” Trump told reporters on Friday. The pair are…
