Hungarian oil and gas company MOL says it will be technically ready to phase out Russian oil imports by the end of 2027, as it calls for more EU funding to support the transition away from Russian energy. Speaking to Euronews, MOL Hungary chief executive György Bacsa warned that reducing Hungary’s dependence on Russian crude could drive up energy costs, trigger social unrest and fuel political instability in Hungary and Slovakia, both of which remain heavily reliant on Russian oil. With a new government in Budapest, MOL will seek EU funding for energy diversification for the first time. The shift…
Published on 13 November 2026 – 11:59 GMT+1•Updated 12:00 Tech billionaire Jensen Huang and US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick have been summoned to testify before US lawmakers over the unfolding Nvidia scandal. Huang resigned as CEO of the chipmaker on Thursday after recent reports revealed details of two extramarital affairs, including one with an alleged Chinese spy. Congress is now calling for more clarity on the situation and what the Trump administration may have known about it. “Recent reports raise serious concerns about our national security and the protection of sensitive U.S. technology,” Republican Sen. Tim Scott wrote in a…
Brooklyn, 2016. Peter (Jordan Firstman) and his merry partygoing mates are off to the club with only two questions on their minds. “What is the year’s best album?” The answer seems to be a toss-up between Beyoncé’s ‘Lemonade’ and Frank Ocean’s ‘Blonde’. (Even if we all know that Danny Brown’s ‘Atrocity Exhibition’ is the clear winner, but that’s by the by.) “What do we want?” The answer is, empathically, drugs. And they want them now. The club they’re heading to won’t be Peter’s only stop of the night. He’s the life of the party on New York’s gay club scene,…
The five-time Olympic gold medal-winning judoka — that’s someone who does judo, not a number puzzle — announced his candidacy by saying: “France doesn’t need a professional politician who recites talking points and spends all day bickering. It needs common sense, firmness, justice and a government that sets things right.” As anyone who has ever tried to rewire a house or perform their own dentistry knows, many tasks very much do require a specialist. Politics is usually, though not always, one of them, and therefore Riner may be underestimating the challenge ahead. That said, he is a national hero and…

Published on 13 November 2026 – 12:17 GMT+1 European diesel prices remained 77% above pre-war levels even as recovering Gulf exports pushed global oil supplies above demand for the first time since the Iran war began, the International Energy Agency said on Friday. Prices have fallen sharply in recent weeks, with North Sea Dated crude falling 32% from an early October peak of $136 a barrel to about $93 by the time the IEA wrote its report. European diesel prices fell 11% over the same period, to nearly $180 a barrel. The IEA said diesel shortages remained the market’s “overriding…
As concerns over sabotage and suspicious Russian activity in European waters intensify, the United Kingdom (UK) is working on legislation that could see those deliberately damaging critical undersea infrastructure jailed for up to 14 years, according to a statement. The proposed penalties also include unlimited fines for interfering with undersea cables and pipelines. If adopted, the changes would update legislation dating back to 1885. The plans would introduce new security obligations for cable operators and give the government greater powers to respond to national security threats. The government points to growing geopolitical tensions as a reason for the changes. “The…
Last week, we covered the basics of airline loyalty programmes, outlining which carriers offer them and the various ways you can earn and spend miles. Our advice was that joining them all is a good idea, but you should try to pick one main airline to fly with, with the most obvious choice being a carrier with a hub near your home. We’re not the experts – there are plenty of specialist blogs and apps dedicated to making the most out of your miles – which is why we didn’t rank them. Luckily, one of these experts, Point.me, has done…
L’ONU a déclaré le mois dernier que, même si les pays réduisaient drastiquement dès maintenant leurs émissions responsables du réchauffement climatique, le meilleur scénario possible serait une hausse des températures mondiales de 1,8°. S’ils déploient également à grande échelle des technologies de capture du carbone pour assainir l’atmosphère, il serait théoriquement possible de revenir à 1,5°, même si ce seuil a été dépassé. En réalité, les émissions de gaz à effet de serre continuent d’augmenter et les technologies de capture du carbone nécessaires pour inverser cette tendance n’ont pas encore fait leurs preuves à grande échelle. Le risque de la…
By Chaima Chihi & يورونيوز Published on 13 November 2026 – 11:11 GMT+1 A scientific review involving about 2.8 million people found that smoking is associated with an increased risk of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia, with the risk rising as the number of cigarettes smoked per day increases.

The risk rose to 40% for Alzheimer’s disease and to 52% for vascular dementia. The researchers observed…
