Part of the new investment will go toward robotics and automation in fulfilment centres. Amazon said the systems…
Experiencing the midnight sun has long been on our travel bucket list (and not just because we’re Zara Larsson fans) – but there’s a very good reason to finally tick it off this year. That’s because Levi, a ski resort in Finnish Lapland, is set to launch a summer-long treasure hunt to find a hidden gold bar worth €20,000. Starting on 18 June, visitors will receive a series of clues taking them through Levi in search of the valuable nugget. Each clue takes you to different attractions, including hiking and biking trails as well as other things you can do…
Europe’s health ambition is returning to the political agenda. With a focus on clinical trials, biotechnology and cardiovascular health, the Health Package signals Brussels’ intent to prioritize innovation, research and prevention as pillars of Europe’s competitiveness and resilience. But for many patients, one reality remains unchanged: access to innovative medicines remains too slow. Today, European patients are waiting longer than ever to access new medicines, and the trend is moving in the wrong direction. The latest data from EFPIA’s WAIT indicator shows that the average wait time in Europe has increased to 597 days, 19 days longer than in 2025, and 93 days more compared with 2019. This is not a…
Published on 04/06/2026 – 10:13 GMT+2 Quentin Tarantino is not playing coy when it comes to his thoughts on the state of modern Hollywood. Writing for Sight & Sound magazine, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill and Django Unchained shared his brutally honest appraisal of post-Covid Hollywood and modern movies, stating that the filmmaking industry is a “flavourless sausage factory” rife with “miscast performers”, “audience pandering” and “just plain stupid shit”. “Flaws, implausibilities, audience pandering, miscast performers, or just plain stupid shit usually torpedoes every new movie coming out of the flavourless sausage factory that used to call…
Demonstrators accused the commentator of relaying Kremlin narratives through outlets owned by media entrepreneur Vincent Bolloré, including CNews, Europe 1 and Le Journal du Dimanche. Protesters carried signs opposing what they described as war propaganda and called for greater scrutiny from French authorities and media regulators. Several elected officials and journalists joined the rally, arguing that Fedorova’s growing visibility raises concerns as France approaches the 2027 presidential election. The controversy centres on Fedorova’s role since RT France ceased operations following European sanctions imposed after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Critics have urged regulators and policymakers to examine her…
With two weeks until the Makerfield by-election, does Andy Burnham really have a plan in place to run the country? Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy examine the policy ideas – including an ambitious expansion of social housing construction – which could form a future leadership pitch. Back in Westminster, the duo assess the fierce political fallout from the murder of Henry Nowak after a tense PMQs. What does Nigel Farage’s intervention mean for the government and policing?

Published on 04/06/2026 – 9:00 GMT+2 Albania, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovia, North Macedonia Kosovo are at various stages of trying to join the bloc. Geographically, the region is completely surrounded by the EU. For nearly two decades, a period of relative calm kept enlargement on the backburner, but Russia’s invasion of Ukraine shattered that peace, turning expansion into a critical security priority. However, it is also about money. The EU is already the region’s primary trading partner and investor and only last year, the total trade reached over €87 billion. It is a massive, two-way exchange of heavy machinery,…
Police deployed water cannon after protesters breached a security cordon near government buildings and demanded the cancellation of the development. Demonstrators carried signs reading “Keep your hands away from Narta” and called for the resignation of officials backing the scheme. The project, which has been linked to Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law, and his investment firm Affinity Partners, targets the Narta Lagoon on Albania’s Adriatic coast, an area recognised for its ecological importance and wildlife habitats, a connection that has intensified public anger. The Albanian government argues the investment could transform the country’s tourism sector and support its ambitions for…
LONDON — Britain’s Labour Party has upped its attacks in the pivotal Makerfield by-election. But its candidate, Andy Burnham, is still playing nice. In the tight June 18 fight for the Greater Manchester seat, Burnham — who is making a dual pitch to be the local MP as well as a potential replacement for Labour’s own prime minister Keir Starmer — has been largely making an upbeat case to voters and insisting he is “just gonna talk about what I’m going to do.” That’s in stark contrast to a central Labour campaign that’s gone heavily on the attack against its…
