Among the highlights was a rare 1905 Vermorel belonging to local collector Pepe Moreno, a vehicle normally displayed in a museum in nearby El Ejido. A century-old Franklin also drew attention, alongside an elegant early 1950s Chevrolet, a late 1920s Nash, vintage Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz models, and a DeLorean DMC-12, the futuristic sports car immortalised by the Back to the Future films. Spectators watched as owners started their historic engines and drove through the city centre, offering a glimpse of motoring history spanning several generations. For the owners, the rally is as much about sharing their passion as preserving these…

It’s been over 13 years since a country last joined the European Union. Now, there are nine official candidate countries, some of which, such as Albania, expect negotiations to conclude as early as 2027. But what does EU enlargement actually mean for the economy and investment opportunities? Does having more members mean more complexities? Does an influx of cheap labour spell disaster for incumbent members? And who stands to gain the most? In this episode of The Big Question, Angela Barnes is joined by Jan Růžička, Chief External Affairs Officer at PPF Group, a privately held investment group founded in…

Singapore Airlines was recently named the world’s best airline, but with carriers like Qatar Airways and Cathay Pacific hot on its heels, resting on its laurels is not an option.

At this point, it wouldn’t be a Martin McDonagh joint without two lonely and dysfunctional souls seeking a warped connection in a world that seems hellbent on imperilling the possibility of redemption. For his latest black comedy, Wild Horse Nine, the British-Irish writer-director harks back to his feature debut In Bruges – except it’s out with two bickering hitmen in Belgium and in with a squabbling pair of CIA operatives on Easter Island prior to the 1973 Chilean coup. Taking a break from disrupting democracy, seasoned and increasingly forgetful agent Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell), who doesn’t mind…

The group of ambassadors from the eight countries that share a border with metropolitan France —  Germany, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Monaco and Andorra —  already met with conservative presidential candidate Bruno Retailleau in September. They are planning to host meetings with the other presidential hopefuls, including far-left candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon, at their respective embassies in the coming months.  “I don’t know if it reassured or worried them,” said an adviser to Marine Le Pen who accompanied her to the lunch. “What is sure is that they can now report back to their capitals what the National Rally wants to…

Data centre backlash in the United States became a deciding factor for voters in the US midterm elections this week, as the Democrats won control of Congress and key state governorships in Texas, Georgia, and Ohio, on the promise of restrictions on the artificial intelligence build-out. Senator Bernie Sanders wrote on X, “Americans don’t want Big Tech oligarchs wrecking the environment, gutting jobs and threatening humanity’s future” and called for a “national data center moratorium now”. Tech companies have taken a big hit on the stock market this week as investors fear the Democratic wins could have a real impact…

Does pineapple belong on pizza? A quick poll in the Euronews office…
