While football fans around the world wait with bated breath for the FIFA World Cup to start, cyber criminals are already hard at work online. The tournament, heralded by the organisers as the biggest event of its kind ever, will see 104 teams go head-to-head in 16 North American cities across Canada, the United States and Mexico when the games begin later this week. Cybercriminals have already created thousands of World Cup-related campaigns and, heading into the tournament, the Canadian and American governments have issued warnings for spectators to keep a close eye out for scams. Here is what campaigns…

Published on 09/06/2026 – 5:27 GMT+2 Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, was suspended from his duties late on Monday after the court’s oversight body referred him for disciplinary proceedings over allegations of sexual misconduct. Khan is facing allegations of sexual misconduct with a female aide, in a scandal that has dragged on for more than two years, while he has steadfastly denied any wrongdoing. He had already temporarily stepped down in May 2025 pending the outcome of the investigation. The process is unprecedented for the ICC, and the Assembly of States Parties (ASP) has had…
The EU’s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, heads to Dublin today with awkward questions for Ireland. The country is facing increased scrutiny over the fact that a Russian-owned refinery on Irish soil continues exporting alumina to Russia — a raw material that can feed Moscow’s industrial and military supply chains. The timing is especially awkward since Dublin is preparing to take over the EU’s rotating Council presidency. Also on the show, smart glasses are moving from sci-fi gadget to Brussels privacy headache. Are Europe’s rules ready for cameras people can wear on their faces? And finally: A festival to celebrate the Commission’s…
France and Germany said on Monday they had agreed to abandon a joint fighter jet programme due to disagreements between the companies involved, in a blow to European efforts to boost defence cooperation. The Future Combat Air System (FCAS) programme was launched in 2017 to replace France’s Rafale jets and the Eurofighter planes used by Germany and Spain. It was to be complemented by drones, sensors and digital communications systems designed to operate together in a networked battlespace. The project was seen as a key test of European efforts to work more closely on defence as they seek to present…
Kazakhstan is set to introduce artificial intelligence in its school system as soon as September 1, 2026. The initiative follows a presidential decree signed by Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on measures to introduce AI into the country’s secondary education system. According to Assyl Tuimebayev, head of a division within Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Enlightenment, the government’s 2026–2029 roadmap will focus on personalised learning, teacher training, digital infrastructure and data security. “This is not just about introducing technologies, but about modernising the entire educational ecosystem,” Tuimebayev said. Authorities describe the initiative as a strategic investment in human capital and the country’s long-term economic competitiveness.…
Die globale Agenda diktiert die nationale im Regierungsviertel: Nach dem erneuten Aufflammen der Kämpfe zwischen Israel und dem Iran steht die Waffenruhe auf extrem wackligen Beinen. Für die Koalition bringt die Eskalation vor allem die Sorge vor weiter steigenden Energiepreisen zurück. Rasmus Buchsteiner analysiert, wie die Politik auf den drohenden Preisschock reagieren könnte und warum die Diskussion um ein vorzeitiges Auslaufen des Tankrabatts nun wieder völlig offen ist. FCAS: Es ist ein beispielloser Rückschlag für die europäische Verteidigungspolitik. Das über zehn Jahre gereifte und rund 100 Milliarden Euro schwere deutsch-französisch-spanische Rüstungsprojekt rund um das Kampfflugzeug der Zukunft ist gescheitert. Hans…
Published on 09/06/2026 – 5:00 GMT+2 At least 14 people were killed in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Monday, the country’s health ministry said, as attacks persisted despite Iranian threats to strike Israel again if it continued bombing the country. Strikes were reported in Marwanieh and Tyre after Israel and Iran said they had brought an end to a round of tit-for-tat attacks begun by Tehran over the Israeli campaign in Lebanon. “An Israeli enemy raid on the city of Tyre, near the Red Cross centre, resulted in 5 martyrs and 8 wounded, four of whom were Red Cross…
“For the Patriots, it would have been much easier just to vote against the return regulation,” she said, as the group opposes migration policy being drawn in Brussels, believing that’s a job for national capitals. “But we realized, if we do not cooperate now to form this right-wing majority, the left-wing proposal that would then have a majority would be much, much worse.” A willingness to play the Brussels political game is unusual for a group made up of ideologically diverse nationalist parties united mainly by their desire to repatriate powers from Brussels to capitals, and which have traditionally shown…
