By Tokunbo Salako & David Mouriquand Published on 13/06/2025 – 8:14 GMT+2This week, the French government followed its UK counterpart by deciding to show schoolchildren ‘Adolescence’ – the gritty British crime drama about a 13-year-old accused of killing his classmate. The move comes in the wake of an alarming rise in violence in French schools as the scourge of knife crime spreads.There’s also growing concern in both countries about the amount of time teenagers are spending on social media, in particular the sites being widely blamed for encouraging sexism and misogyny – and how that is affecting society and young people’s behaviour. In…
79 Jahre Donald Trump – und kein Zeichen von Mäßigung. In dieser Sonderfolge analysiert Gordon Repinski, wie der 47. US-Präsident in seiner zweiten Amtszeit systematisch demokratische Institutionen attackiert: von juristischen Angriffen auf die Presse bis zur politischen Säuberung der Verwaltung durch „Schedule F”. Der Podcast blickt auf Trumps Strategie der persönlichen Loyalität, seine zerstörerische Außenpolitik und die ideologischen Wurzeln seines Politikverständnisses – vom Trump Tower bis zum Oval Office. Ob Handelskrieg mit China, Machtspiele gegen die NATO oder persönliche Attacken auf Richter und Medien: Trump geht es nicht um Reformen, sondern um Kontrolle. Ein tiefgehender Blick auf die politische und…
Die sieben Themen: Kritische Rohstoffe, Waldbrände, Migration & Schmuggel, Künstliche Intelligenz, Quantencomputer, finanzielle Partnerschaften sowie transnationale Übergriffe. Der Plan: Statt über den Klimawandel über Waldbrände reden, die auch in den USA wüten. Und die Themen Handel und Zölle sind zwar vermintes Gelände, aber an Rohstoff-Deals hat auch Trump Interesse. Zu Rohstoffen und Energie hat Kanada einen Aktionsplan vorbereitet. Ziel: Mit Geld der G7 mehr Rohstofflager in Ländern des Globalen Süden zu erschließen. Dies soll Abhängigkeiten – vor allem von China – verringern. Dazu geladen sind unter anderem die Regierungschefs aus der Ukraine, Brasilien, Mexiko, Süd-Korea, Südafrika und den Vereinigten Arabischen…
By Leonhard Birnbaum, CEO, E.ON Published on 12/06/2025 – 18:19 GMT+2 The opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not represent in any way the editorial position of Euronews. Europe stands at a critical juncture in its energy transition. The energy crisis of 2022 has left a lasting impact, with high energy costs straining industries and households alike. As we strive towards achieving net zero emissions by 2050, the investment challenge is gigantic. Over the next decade, €6.6 trillion must be invested into the energy system to meet the goals. Against this background, society is increasingly…
En tant que présidente de l’association Petites cités de caractère de France, Françoise Gatel (Ruralité) a pu donner des interviews dont Stéphane Bern aurait pu valider chaque mot : “La sauvegarde du patrimoine est un levier d’espérance et d’avenir pour nos petites cités”, expose la Bretonne sur Enviedeville.fr. Députée du Doubs, Annie Genevard (Agriculture) a longtemps présidé la commission permanente du Conseil de la montagne. En devenant ministre de Michel Barnier en septembre, elle a laissé sa place dans cette instance toute indiquée pour faire grimper les sujets montagnards en haut de la pile. Bien décidée à garder un rond…
The richest 10% in the eurozone held 57.3% of total net household wealth in the final quarter of 2024. This is 2.8 percentage points higher than in the same period of 2009, when their share was 54.5%, according to the European Central Bank (ECB).Wealth inequality has increased in some parts of Europe while declining in others in the period from 2008 to 2023, according to UBS’s Global Wealth Report 2024. The report notes that wealth inequality has generally risen in most of Eastern Europe, while the data for Western Europe is “extremely mixed”.So, which European countries have seen the greatest…
It all started with an awkward Oval Office sendoff for a randomly black-eyed Elon. Trump presented Musk with a toy golden key, which was a special honor that he gives to (some) very special people; Musk deserved it since he “gave such an incredible service, nobody liked him!” Things escalated from there, with the two billionaires throwing tantrums on the social media platforms that they each own — as real grown-ups do. Once freed of his DOGE duties, Elon decided to let the world know how he really felt about his bro, calling Trump’s big, beautiful bill a “disgusting abomination.”…
New pressures Bulgaria’s central bank, too, will face a significant adjustment. Under the currency board regime, inflation has been kept largely in check not through interest rate policy — which Sofia has ceded — but through fiscal discipline and tax policy. The Bulgarian National Bank’s main levers have instead been bank reserve requirements, currently set at 12 percent, and the interest rate charged on those reserves, which is set at zero. But it will lose control of both those levers from next year, with potentially big consequences: The ECB’s reserve requirement is only 1 percent. That means that, other things…
Published on 13/06/2025 – 1:17 GMT+2Istanbul’s jailed opposition Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu and his legal team have boycotted a court hearing on Thursday after they claimed that a late change in venue for the proceedings was “unlawful”.The case, one of many criminal allegations Imamoglu is facing, was over comments the Istanbul mayor made on an expert witness, over the prosecution of other officials from his Republican People’s Party, or CHP.In a statement, the CHP said neither Imamoglu nor his legal team would attend Thursday’s hearing due to a change in venue through “unlawful procedures.”Imamoglu, in a post from jail, described the…
Going unchecked U.K. Border Force sometimes carries out spot bag checks on arrival at London St. Pancras but the vast majority of passengers go unchecked, meaning there is a low likelihood of any purchased products being caught on arrival in London unless they are openly touted. On launching the controls on April 12, U.K. deputy chief veterinary officer for international and trade affairs, Dr. Jorge Martin-Almagro, said they were “critical to limit the risk of foot-and-mouth disease incursion.” Eurostar says it emails passengers before they travel warning them that they “can no longer bring” animal products including “cheese, cured meats…
