It’s not even been two weeks since Péter Magyar won Hungary’s elections, and the incoming prime minister is still facing a deluge of misinformation. Misleading claims circulating on X have targeted Magyar’s immigration policies and suggested the prime minister-elect endorsed his rival and outgoing prime minister, Viktor Orbán, as president of the European Commission or the European Council. One post, which amassed thousands of likes, claims that one of Magyar’s policies after he won Hungary’s parliamentary elections on 12 April is to ensure “All Ukrainians and other immigrants from outside the EU will lose their work permits starting June.” It…

At the start of this week, a robot beat human runners in a half-marathon in Beijing. Now, another one can apparently outplay table tennis professionals. Is this how it begins – machines quietly overtaking us, one task at a time? The answer is yes – and no. In a new study, a robot built by Japanese electronics giant Sony has beaten professional players. But the features that make this possible are anything but human-like. The robot, called “Ace,” has a single arm with eight joints and uses its nine camera eyes to track the ball’s logo and detect its spin.…
Both the European Parliament and France want to add a number of safeguards to the accord, but they face opposition from countries led by Germany that prefer no changes to the deal. The next round of interinstitutional talks, known as trilogues, is scheduled for May 6. “We’re hoping that in the trilogue proceedings the result will be an acknowledgment that a deal is a deal,” Puzder said in an interview at the Delphi Economic Forum. The proposed amendments include a “sunrise” clause, which would make removing the tariffs on U.S. goods contingent on scaling back American tariffs on steel derivative products,…
By Dr Robert Brüll, founder and CEO of FibreCoat Published on 23/04/2026 – 11:28 GMT+2 The opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not represent in any way the editorial position of Euronews. There’s something poetic about the way that birds in Ukraine are now building nests from drone cable. Out of the machinery of death, these birds are nurturing new life. But there is also something telling about that story: that drones – so synonymous with the war – are becoming part of the natural landscape. Ukrainian drone innovation is one of the great stories…

Europe dominates global wealth rankings, but what it actually means to be a “rich country” depends heavily on how prosperity is measured and who benefits from it. “Being the richest country in the world is not just about producing a lot,” the analysis from a financial services comparison platform HelloSafe states. “It is measured by how that wealth concretely translates into the daily life of the ordinary citizen. In 2026, the answer is Norway.” The group argues that GDP per capita alone can distort comparisons, since it assumes national output is evenly shared across the population. Ireland illustrates the issue.…
