Robert Pattinson has been having one hell of a year on screen, with critically acclaimed turns in the excellent The Drama and Christopher Nolan’s box office juggernaut The Odyssey. Before heading to Arrakis in the concluding chapter of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three, he stars in what might be his most provocative outing of 2026. He plays American TV journalist Chris Hansen, the former host of the show To Catch a Predator, in Lance Oppenheim’s Primetime. And while the film may perplex audiences, there’s no denying that Pattinson should by all rights be on his way to an Oscar nomination.…
A United States ban on diesel exports would not necessarily leave Europe’s fuel stations empty overnight, but it could push up prices, forcing European governments into another round of emergency intervention just as households, farmers and hauliers are feeling the effects of the wider energy crisis. The prospect of Washington keeping those barrels at home is especially uncomfortable for Brussels, which acknowledged the bloc’s dependency on US diesel after ditching Russian energy. The Commission said the issue was being discussed with EU countries and the industry. The bloc is already facing a fuel shortage after the war with Iran disrupted…
Hundreds of southern right whale calves have died in recent months in Argentine Patagonia, in an episode that has put scientists and authorities on alert. Initial investigations point to a bacterial infection as a possible cause of an exceptionally high mortality rate this season. Just this week, dozens of dead whale calves have appeared on beaches in the province of Chubut, in southern Argentina. Cases have been recorded since June, affecting one of this species’ main breeding grounds in the South Atlantic. “The mortality rate among calves is quite high, especially this season,” explained Mariano Coscarella, a researcher at the…
Serifos is one of the most beautiful islands in the Cyclades. Behind its major tourism development lies a history that most people know nothing about. The island was an important mining centre as far back as antiquity. Its subsoil is rich mainly in haematite and magnetite, with the result that to this day half of Serifos is perforated with galleries and shafts after many years of mining. In the south-west, mainly at Mega Livadi and Koutalas, visitors can still see rusted rails, machinery, tools, wagons and loading piers. These are the visible traces of the intensive mining activity that shaped…
Protesters gathered outside Granada city hall on Thursday in support of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal, who was evicted from her Madrid apartment on September 23. UGC footage shows large crowds rallying in the city, including at a student protest. Demonstrations in support of Abascal were also held in other parts of Spain, reflecting wider anger over the country’s rising housing costs. Her eviction has become a focal point for protests over housing affordability and the difficulties faced by older tenants.
President Emmanuel Macron welcomed the Pope on his arrival at around 10am, before military honours and introductions to French and Vatican officials.

His programme includes meetings with Macron, French officials, civil-society representatives and diplomats, as well as a visit to UNESCO and meetings with young Catholics. The agenda is expected to include the future of Europe, social issues and the role of technology, including artificial intelligence, although the published programme…
Pope Leo XIV has warned against losing humanity in a “paradise of machines” as artificial intelligence increasingly shapes daily life. Speaking at the French presidential palace in Paris on Friday, during his first papal trip to France, Leo XIV said he had made AI a central issue in his first encyclical. He called for the human person to remain at the heart of discussions about the technology, stressing the need to develop ethical discernment. The pope also urged people to develop the ability to recognise what is morally good as AI continues to transform society.
By Christina Thykjaer & Euronews en español Published on 25/09/2026 – 21:11 GMT+2 The United States Army is reportedly taking preparatory steps for a possible operation involving Cuba, according to an exclusive published on Friday by CBS News, which obtained an internal Army message and spoke with several US officials familiar with the plans.

The internal message does not explicitly mention Cuba. However, several…
