With the peak summer holiday season just weeks away, concerns about overtourism in Europe’s most popular destinations are resurfacing as holiday-goers begin packing for their getaways. Countries like Portugal and Spain have dominated headlines around overtourism in recent years thanks to high-profile protests, with their governments introducing measures around short-term lets and cruise passenger numbers to ease pressures on popular areas brought on by high influxes of international visitors. Is Malta now grappling a similar fate? According to The Times of Malta, the jury is out on this one. Year on year between 2020 and 2025, inbound visitors to the…
Europe yet again finds itself on the receiving end of Donald Trump’s ire. On Friday, the U.S. president threatened to raise tariffs on European cars to 25 percent, as frustration grows in Washington over the slow pace of an EU-U.S. trade deal. Trump had also called for withdrawing U.S. troops from Germany earlier in the week as a response to German leader Friedrich Merz’s sharp criticism of the Iran war. On the pod, Zoya and Nick discuss how Brussels and Berlin have scrambled to respond. Also on the show, some officials and lawmakers say that the next two years could be the…

Later, an outfit calling itself the Volcano Group claimed responsibility for the attack. In a statement published online, it dismissed sympathy for the residents of the affluent neighborhoods affected. There was no mention of the people whose lives it put at risk that morning. Germany’s federal prosecutor is now investigating the incident, and has informed Thomsen that he will be interviewed about his experience. For investigators, the Volcano Group’s claim was both familiar and frustrating. The name had appeared repeatedly over the past decade in connection with acts of sabotage against rail networks, power lines and the construction site of…
He added: “I will not give up on the transatlantic relationship, and I will not give up on cooperation with Donald Trump.” Merz on Sunday sought to play down the substance of the dispute, particularly the threat of a U.S. troop withdrawal, framing it as part of longer-running military planning rather than a sudden rupture. “There is a contingent of American soldiers in Europe that [former U.S. President] Joe Biden stationed here on a temporary basis. Their withdrawal has been discussed for quite some time,” he said, noting that Washington frequently shifts its forces globally. On military support, however, the…
PARIS — Jean-Luc Mélenchon announced his fourth run for French president on Sunday, becoming one of the highest-profile candidates to formally join the race to replace term-limited Emmanuel Macron next year. “Yes, I am a candidate,” the 74-year-old leftist said in an interview with French broadcaster TF1, describing himself as best suited to face “an agitated season in global history” — pointing to geopolitical, economic and environmental risks. Mélenchon, who quit the center-left Socialist Party nearly two decades ago to push for a more radical brand of politics, was the best-placed left-wing candidate in the last two presidential elections, finishing…
