A new and mysterious case has shaken Catalan society. Nine months after the death of renowned architect Josep Juanpere at his home in Baqueira, what initially appeared to be a death from natural causes has taken an unexpected turn: the Catalan police have arrested his partner over her alleged involvement in his death. Juanpere, 72, had gone to Vielha hospital just two days before he died, after feeling unwell. The first autopsy found no signs of violence, but doubts about the circumstances of his death led to an investigation which, months later, has resulted this week in the arrest of…

Coroner Jason Pegg ruled on Thursday that Mawer was unlawfully killed by an unknown person, but accepted an argument by lawyers from TotalEnergies’ Mozambican subsidiary that the company had no legal duty of care to him because he was a subcontractor. The testimony could carry consequences in France, where TotalEnergies faces two criminal complaints over its Mozambique operations, including an involuntary manslaughter case tied to the deaths of contractors during the Palma attack. A French investigating magistrate was appointed last year to examine that complaint.  “These hearings were crucial, crucial, crucial,” said Henri Thulliez, a French human rights lawyer who…

A Ukrainian man was arrested on Thursday after a knife attack at a Catholic abbey in southeastern Poland left one person dead and four others injured. Police said the 31-year-old suspect attacked four men and a woman at the 17th-century abbey in Jarosław, around 30 kilometres from the Ukrainian border. The attack took place at approximately 9:30 am, when police received reports of a stabbing. Polish media identified the person killed as a priest. Police confirmed the death to AFP but did not verify the victim’s identity. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the “murderer” would be “punished with the…

People in Copenhagen have given mixed reactions to a new security deal signed by US President Donald Trump and the leaders of Denmark and Greenland on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Some Danes welcomed the agreement, saying closer cooperation with the US could help strengthen Arctic defence and ease tensions. But others remain sceptical. “I don’t feel safe,” said psychotherapist Maj Mortensen, while software engineer Mads Johnson said cooperation with the US was important because the two countries remain allies.

Published on 24/09/2026 – 16:29 GMT+2 The Dangote Group is looking to take its refinery success beyond Nigeria, with plans to build a wider energy business across Africa.

We were joined by David Bird, CEO and Managing Director of Dangote Refinery, to discuss the…

She and far-left candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon both want Paris to leave the military alliance, raising alarm bells at NATO headquarters about France’s future defense policy. The National Rally has long advocated withdrawing from NATO’s integrated command, but Le Pen’s comments indicate a slight shift in her position. Back in May, she said France would pull out during her first term, without referring to the war in Ukraine, while the party’s president Jordan Bardella wanted to wait for a peace agreement between Kyiv and Moscow. Le Pen and Bardella are campaigning as a ticket that would see the 31-year-old become prime…

France’s new €1 university meal scheme is drawing large crowds at canteens in Paris, with students queuing for meals and staff struggling to cope with the extra demand. At the Crous Mabillon restaurant, a storekeeper says staff went on strike over a lack of equipment and personnel, warning the service could reach breaking point. Students, meanwhile, have mixed experiences: some praise the measure as valuable financial support, while others say longer queues are making it harder to eat between classes.

The Mexican Navy tall ship Cuauhtémoc sails beneath San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge before docking along the Embarcadero. The visit marks its return to the city after 17 years. It is part of an international training voyage along the US West Coast, following a stop in Honolulu. The crew will spend four days there before continuing to San Diego. The Cuauhtémoc was involved in a fatal collision with New York’s Brooklyn Bridge last year, which killed two sailors and injured 19 others. Repaired after the accident, it is now back at sea. Visitors can board the vessel for tours while…
