Senior National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing Vicki Evans said: “The investigation into circumstances surrounding events in Gloucestershire is hugely complex, and our specialist teams are interrogating multiple lines of inquiry.” “As we’ve made clear, we’re looking at all possible angles – including possible foreign state involvement.

Woody Allen is stepping behind the camera once again. The American director presented his next film in Madrid on Thursday, the 51st of his career, which will start shooting on 5 October and will be filmed mainly in the Spanish capital and Aranjuez. At 90, Allen was joined at the launch by the president of the Madrid region, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and the mayor of the capital, José Luis Martínez-Almeida. The project is being financed by both authorities: the City Council and the regional government will each contribute 1.5 million euros, 3 million in total, through sponsorship contracts linked to…
At a recent meeting of EU defense ministers, “many called for front-loading parts of the €90 billion loan allocated for 2027,” meaning disbursing part of the 2027 loan this year instead, the EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas said last month. But the Commission preferred to instead speed up the disbursement of the 2027 loan next year itself, meaning Ukraine would get that money faster, diplomats said. “Our dialogue with the European Commission has delivered good results in addressing Ukraine’s financial and defense needs for 2026 and 2027,” Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. “We have agreed on the format, timeline, and…
Published on 01/10/2026 – 17:06 GMT+2 Chief of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Mark Rutte, warned that the framework under which the alliance of 32 countries operates is “not sustainable”. In an interview at Euronews’ Defence and Space summit, he stressed that the United States, which under Donald Trump’s presidency has been critical of the alliance and even threatened members, will stay involved in Europe, both in the nuclear and conventional domains. He argued that the problem was not the US’ commitment, but that NATO was not sustainable. “It is not sustainable that you have a country, the United…
By Andreas Rogal with AFP Published on 01/10/2026 – 18:57 GMT+2 Tech billionaire Elon Musk will make a return to officially advising US President Donald Trump’s government by co-leading what the Pentagon called a study on the future of war. Musk served as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he oversaw sweeping job cuts across the US federal government, before departing in May 2025. In a speech Wednesday at the Quantico military base, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said “Project Meridian” will be “an effort led by America’s best minds to study the future of warfare.” “We are leveraging a unique…
“We have not delivered,” the minister said, adding: “I would really urge everybody to show them that the promise of Thessaloniki was real, that we are credible, that Europe is reliable.” Wadephul also referred to “geopolitical adversaries and rivals” vying with the EU for influence in the region — a thinly veiled reference to Russia and China. On Wednesday, Republika Srpska Prime Minister Savo Minić and his predecessor Milorad Dodik visited Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, ahead of elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina on Sunday. Austria’s foreign minister issued a similar warning: The EU must “understand that the clock…
Greek Migration and Asylum Minister Thanos Plevris on Thursday proposed suspending the right to apply for asylum in the EU in cases of a mass influx of irregular migrants. The controversial measure would mark a major shift in the bloc’s migration policy, allowing migrants to be returned without an individual assessment of their asylum claims, potentially resulting in “collective pushbacks”, which are prohibited under current EU law. Greece is pushing for the proposal to be included in the “European Emergency Response Framework”, a new law the European Commission is presenting in the coming months to tackle irregular arrivals and the…
An Israeli passenger filmed scenes of panic aboard a FlyDubai flight after an alleged attack in the cockpit forced the aircraft to make an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday. Miryam Shira Ochayon, who was returning to Israel after spending months traveling in Asia, filmed passengers screaming and praying as the plane descended toward Tabuk. According to the footage and the provided storyline, the Omani co-pilot allegedly stabbed the captain. Passengers said the Indian captain opened the cockpit door, allowing them to intervene and restrain the attacker. After the emergency landing in Tabuk, passengers applauded and sang “Am…
The Prado Museum in Madrid and Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum have joined forces to restore women’s memory in art. The two major European galleries are pooling their efforts to revisit the shared history between Spain and the Netherlands and to give women artists, patrons and other key figures the prominence they have always deserved in their galleries. The centrepiece of this agreement is an international research fellowship, which will launch in 2027. The aim is to delve into the collections and shed light on women’s roles during the Habsburg era, with findings feeding into upcoming projects at both museums and culminating in…
