How much do you need to earn to live comfortably across Europe? This is a very challenging question. Firstly, “comfortable” is very subjective. Secondly, price levels vary widely both across and within countries. Thirdly, household size also varies. Income also does not take wealth or homeownership into account. Still, some income indicators can give an idea of how much people may need to live comfortably. The equivalised disposable income is one of them. All monetary income received by household members is added together. This includes income from work, investments and social benefits, as well as other household income. Taxes and…
Published on 28 October 2026 – 7:14 GMT+1 If the themes of political change, ballerinas and parental care took pride of place at last year’s Hungarian Press Photo exhibition, the show this is dedicated to imminent social revolution sparked by technology. At the opening of the 44th edition at the Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center in Budapest, managing director Orsolya Kőrösi stressed that the work of photojournalists is becoming increasingly important: “The photojournalist does not just take pictures, but is present, bears witness, selects and interprets, while putting their own name to the claim that what they show is close…

Published on 28 October 2026 – 6:32 GMT+1 Technology firms surged across Asia on Wednesday after blockbuster earnings from chip giant SK hynix helped boost optimism in the AI trade ahead of results from Wall Street titans Microsoft and Alphabet. Oil prices rose as investors kept tabs on Israel’s election results, which could determine the future of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war against Iran. After a slight wobble this month in the tech realm caused by fresh worries about huge investment spending, profitability and company finances, AI-linked firms were back on the front foot. SK hynix, which has been at…
By David del Valle Published on 28 October 2026 – 6:00 GMT+1 The boom in international tourism has left many destinations facing a paradox. While large hotels and other businesses increase their revenues, residents are the ones paying the price in the form of rising housing costs, a loss of local identity and neighbourhoods that are being reshaped. Against this backdrop, Positive Action Community Tourism (PACT) is proposing a different model: Involving the hotel sector in the development of the communities that host it so that part of the wealth generated by visitors also translates into social, cultural and economic benefits…
Europe’s united front on Ukraine is showing cracks. Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre have opened a direct line to Vladimir Putin, drawing criticism from some fellow European leaders — even as Ukraine backs their efforts. Nicholas Vinocur and Paul Dallison examine the fallout and the growing scramble over who gets to speak for Europe in peace talks. Also on the pod: Brussels unveils a sweeping overhaul of Frontex, giving the EU border agency a much bigger role in deportations, new powers to monitor social media and plans for a major expansion. And after a…

Arnab hit Andhra Pradesh as a “very severe cyclonic storm”, with winds of 125-135 kilometres per hour and gusts reaching 150 kph, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said. “Very severe cyclonic storm Arnab is continuing to interact with the land surface,” the IMD said in a statement, along the coasts between Bapatla and Visakhapatnam. Authorities ordered thousands to move inland or take shelter…
Boeing shares slumped around 9% on Tuesday as the company’s cautious production growth timeframe surprised Wall Street, deepening questions about how fast recent plane certification and defence procurement wins will translate to the bottom line. Chief Executive Kelly Ortberg said the company does not expect 737 MAX output to reach 52 per month until the second half of 2027 as it must first “stabilise” output at 47 per month. Raising 737 MAX output has been viewed by investors as central to revenue and profit growth. But Ortberg, who joined Boeing in the aftermath of safety disasters, defended the approach. “We’re…
“The key lesson that should be drawn from the case of Serbia is that the EU can very easily lose credibility and integrity if it ignores the causes of democratic backsliding in a country,” said Srdjan Majstorović, chairman of the governing board of the European Policy Center (CEP), a think tank. According to CEP data published earlier this year, as many 41.6% of citizens believe the EU is more interested in pursuing its own political and economic interests in the region than improving the state of democracy and the rule of law in the country. For years, anytime non-governmental organizations,…
