The Latin Recording Academy released the full list of nominees for the 2026 Latin Grammy Awards on Wednesday, and one name appears more often than any other: Edgar Barrera.

Published on 16/09/2026 – 13:54 GMT+2•Updated 13:55 Kyiv is ready for an energy ceasefire with Moscow, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, adding that Russia has yet to make the same commitment. In an interview with CBS, Zelenskyy said US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner raised the possibility during their recent visit to Kyiv. He said Ukraine agreed, on condition that Russia also stops all attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure**.** “We never attack first. Our tactic is to respond where we can because Putin doesn’t respect and won’t even think of negotiating with weaklings,” Zelenskyy said. “When Steve Witkoff and…
South Korea and the five Central Asian republics held their first heads-of-state summit in Seoul on Wednesday, adopting a 30-year cooperation framework targeting critical minerals, energy, supply chains and emerging technologies against the backdrop of a shared Silk Road history. The declaration established a leaders’ summit that brings together South Korea, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan every two years, and a new mechanism that brings together the six countries’ industry ministers. “The ‘Silk Road spirit’ of Central Asia that connected people, technologies and cultures of the East and West as one is needed more than ever,” South Korean President…

Published on 16/09/2026 – 15:45 GMT+2 If the Jackboot fits… On 6 September, Donald Trump bulk-posted a series of AI-generated images, in which he renamed New Mexico as “New America”, declared the Moon as US territory, and portayed himself as the Green Lantern. During this AI slop rampage, Trump proposed new uniforms for the United States Space Force – which was established in 2019 during Trump’s first term in office. The image Trump posted was a design mockup for a new “service dress uniform” that was “inspired by the discipline and functionality of the Starship Trooper Uniform.” Many were quick…
Hegseth identified no specific threats and underlined that President Donald Trump’s main mission was “American manufacturing, American made, American jobs.” For now, Germany’s rearmament drive dovetails with that vision. Pistorius said: “Germany is investing and buying in the U.S., adding up to about $50 billion, creating growth and jobs in the United States of America.” But Germany is using its own resources and teaming up with other European countries on defense projects. Berlin is also increasingly frustrated that the U.S. is favoring its own needs — boosting production of Tomahawk missiles to rebuild its own stocks depleted by the war…
The European Union is increasingly worried about whether nations will actually implement existing climate targets as it prepares for the United Nations’ climate summit, COP31, according to a Council document seen by Euronews. “(The Council highlights with concern) that current ambition and implementation remain insufficient to limit warming to 1.5°C,” read the draft Council conclusions dated 14 September, referring to the Paris Agreement. Similar concerns were recently shared by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), which warned the world is set to cross the 1.5°C global warming threshold, but can still limit, adapt to and return from higher temperatures. Early…
As artificial intelligence and advanced scanning systems transform border controls, customs services still rely on one of their oldest detection tools: trained dogs. AI can analyse images and data, identify patterns and help customs officers decide which shipments or containers warrant closer inspection. But customs officials, dog handlers, and other specialists from more than 50 countries gathered at the World Customs Organisation’s 7th Global Canine Forum in Tashkent argued that this does not remove the need for dogs trained to detect scents. Antonio Lo Parco, head of the WCO’s Regional Office for Capacity Building for Europe, told Euronews that dogs…
Published on 16/09/2026 – 16:00 GMT+2 In Spain, earning a good salary does not necessarily make it easy to buy a home. An analysis by iAhorro reveals wide disparities between regions: while salaries vary by around 10,000 euros a year across Spain, the price of a 90-square-metre home can differ by almost 383,000 euros. The biggest hurdle is the money that has to be saved before applying for a mortgage. To buy a 90-square-metre home, the buyer has to put down around 30% of the price for the deposit and other costs. In the Balearic Islands, that comes to about…
