A new year brings new hopes, and January is a popular time for career moves. According to new LinkedIn research, almost half of Europeans (47%) are looking for a new job in 2026, yet the vast majority (77%) feel unprepared to find one. At the same time, recruiters face their own difficulties, with most saying it has become harder to find quality talent. So how do people across Europe view the job market? And in which countries are workers most actively seeking new opportunities? According to the research shared with Euronews Business, the UK has the highest proportion of people…
Today, Sam and Anne ask the question, is the prime minister’s focus abroad distracting from his own problems and domestic reforms at home? With a plethora of contentious legislation to get through ahead of the spring statement in March and the King’s Speech in May – the duo forecast whether there could be more rebellions down the line. The pair home in on the complicated problems facing Bridget Phillipson – how she deals with SEND reforms and the use of single sex spaces. Will the government take on parents over statementing kids, how will it be funded, and is the…
By evening, hundreds attended a vigil, lighting candles and calling for resistance to immigration raids. Some held anti-ICE signs and chanted slogans, while nearby streets were blocked by cars and makeshift barricades. The area is close to long-established immigrant markets and not far from where George Floyd was killed in 2020. The 37-year-old motorist was shot in the head in a snowy residential street south of downtown, in front of a family member. Federal officials said the officer acted in self-defence, while the city’s mayor called the shooting reckless and unnecessary.
“Even though İmamoğlu can declare his candidacy virtually from a jail cell, there is no way this will be legally allowed — because for Erdoğan this would be a mortal political threat if this were a free and fairly contested race,” he said. Foreign policy flop In his responses, İmamoğlu took aim at Erdoğan’s “aggressive” foreign policy and his close relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump, linking both to the erosion of rights at home.

Almost 200 newplants and fungi were named new to science last year, with conservationists warning that many are already “threatened with extinction”. Today (8 January), the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (RBG) in London, along with its international partners, has revealed its top 10 species that were described in 2025. The list aims to highlight just how much of the natural world still remains unnamed. “Describing new plant and fungal species is essential at a time when the impacts of biodiversity loss and climate change accelerate before our eyes,” says Dr Martin Cheek, senior research leader in RGB Kew’s Africa team.“It…
Once meant for connecting with close friends, social media has long since evolved into an amorphous blob of adverts, AI slop, and rapid-cycle trends – all driven by aggressively addictive algorithms. Journalist Cory Doctorow coined a name for it: enshittification. It refers to the process by which digital platforms become worse and worse to use as their owners prioritise profit over people. We’ve seen this in the rise in hate speech on X, following owner Elon Musk’s decision to relax moderation policies, while Meta’s business-driven focus has led to a swell of targeted ads, making connecting with other people even…
“We have many, many people below the poverty line, and the infrastructure in Greenland is lagging, and our resources are primarily taken out without good profit to Greenland but mostly profit to Danish companies,” said Kuno Fencker, a pro-independence Greenlandic opposition MP. An attractive offer from Denmark and the EU could be enough to keep Greenlanders out of America’s grasp. Option 3: Retaliate economically Since Trump’s first term in office, “there’s been a lot of effort to try and think through how we ensure European security, Nordic security, Arctic security, without the U.S. actively involved,” said Thomas Crosbie, a U.S.…

Throughout his reelection campaign, Trump still emphasized the need to produce more oil. “Drill, baby, drill” became as central to his energy policy as “take the oil” was to his views on military intervention. He called on oil executives to raise $1 billion for his campaign, promising his administration would be “a great deal” for their industry. And he talked incessantly of the large reservoirs of “liquid gold” in the U.S., claiming: “We’re going to make a fortune.” But these weren’t just campaign promises. Upon his return to office, Trump unleashed the full force of the U.S. government to boost…
