In an interview with Euronews Romania, Weber said that “if someone like Putin is becoming aggressive, is becoming brutal, takes our way of life into question, then we have to stand up and defend ourselves.” “It’s obvious that Putin continues the attacks against all of us,” he added,…
Governments in WHO’s Europe region spent $51.76 per capita in 2024 on mental health, far more than any other region globally. The next-highest-spending region is the Americas, with $6.86 per capita. European countries also spend a higher proportion of their overall budget on mental wellbeing, with 4.5 percent compared to the global median figure of 2.1 percent. The 2.1 percent figure is stuck at the same level as in 2017 and 2020, with no evidence of greater spending at any income level, WHO officials told reporters Monday. High-income countries in general greatly outspend lower- and middle income countries on mental…
Earlier, the two leaders held formal discussions where Putin, addressing Xi as “dear friend,” said ties between Moscow and Beijing were at an “unprecedentedly high level.” Putin stressed the importance of shared history, recalling the wartime alliance of their peoples and pledging continued cooperation. Xi also hosted a trilateral meeting with Putin and Mongolian President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh, where Putin highlighted their countries as good neighbours bound by friendship. All three will attend Wednesday’s parade in the Chinese capital, commemorating 80 years since World War II’s end, joined by around two dozen foreign leaders.

Bayrou is holding talks with parties from across the political spectrum this week, ostensibly to find common ground. After the prime minister unveiled his plans to hold a confidence vote last week, France’s political opposition quickly said they would vote to bring down his minority government, leaving the longtime centrist little hope of survival. According to Le Pen, Bayrou already knows his government is toast. “He chose to hit the eject button, and then lead consultations. If he really wanted…

Published on 02/09/2025 – 12:35 GMT+2 Futuristic scenarios are being painted on social media videos in which hate is rising between humans and so-called “clankers”. One tongue-in-cheek video illustrates a parent telling their child, “we don’t speak to them,” and another video shows a human telling a robot, “get this dirty clanker out of here!”. Clanker has become the word that summarises people’s frustrations against artificial intelligence (AI). It is widely used on social media, garnering hundreds of millions of views on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. It has even been used by an American senator to promote the…
