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…
“Do I want to double the size of the company? Of course I do,” the CEO of Tony’s Chocolonely, Douglas Lamont, told Euronews. But unlike many business leaders, Douglas is not driven just by a desire to increase profits and growth.

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.

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.

Crowds gathered at San Francisco’s Pier 39 this week to catch a glimpse of “Chonkers,” a giant Steller sea lion spotted resting among much smaller California sea lions. Visitors stopped to take photos as the large marine mammal lounged on the dock, occasionally moving through the crowded pier before diving into the water. Marine experts say the animal belongs to the Steller species, the largest type of sea lion, with adult males capable of weighing more than a ton. Officials believe the sea lion may be stopping in San Francisco to feed and rest before returning to colder northern waters…
