Shares fell on Wednesday as markets worldwide followed the results of the US midterm elections. By early morning in Europe, Democrats had won control of the Senate, according to the Associated Press, and were on course to take the House of Representatives, in a major setback for President Donald Trump and his Republican Party, which has controlled both chambers of Congress during the first two years of his second term. Voters’ concerns about the cost of living, including high petrol and diesel prices, helped drive the Democratic gains. Opposition to data centres also featured in some campaigns, including Ohio’s Senate…
Published on 4 November 2026 – 7:00 GMT+1 Winter city breaks in Europe come with plenty of traditional favourites: Christmas markets, festive food and evenings spent exploring brightly decorated streets. But for active travellers keen to get moving between sightseeing stops, outdoor ice rinks offer another way to experience a destination. Across the continent every winter a host of grand courtyards, public squares and leafy parks become skating spots. Some sit beneath castle towers or beside landmark museums, while others form part of festive markets and winter wonderlands, with hot drinks and something sweet to enjoy when not on the…
Bei den Midterms in den USA erobern die Demokraten das Repräsentantenhaus und auch ein Sieg im Senat ist wahrscheinlich. Donald Trump poltert bereits. Helge Fuhst, Vorsitzender der Chefredaktionen von POLITICO, Welt und Business Insider, berichtet direkt aus Washington über den Wahlschock für die Republikaner, die Auswirkungen in der Innen- und Außenpolitik und wie es jetzt mit Blick auf die Präsidentschaftswahl in zwei Jahren weitergeht. Wenn Hacker nicht mehr auf Kraftwerke zielen, sondern Supermarkt-Kühlsysteme auf 50 Grad erhitzen, wird Cybersicherheit zum direkten Alltagsproblem. Tonnenweise verdorbene Lebensmittel in ganz Europa werfen eine drängende Frage auf: Stecken russische Akteure hinter dieser neuen Form…
The supermarket hacks could fit a pattern of collaboration between state services and the criminal underworld that has long been observed in Russia. “As geopolitical tensions rise, I expect more of them to either collaborate with criminal groups or masquerade as criminals themselves, using ransomware and extortion as cover for state objectives,” said Joseph Rooke, a senior director at cyber intelligence firm Recorded Future. There were numerous plausible explanations for the first round of fridge attacks in France — ranging from bored teenagers to a disgruntled former employee. But those attacks highlighted to adversarial foreign nations just how easy it…
A December vote would allow contractors to begin a program of work, including procurement processes and building surveys, estimated to cost £3 billion over seven years. But it would not determine the final option for wholesale restoration, which will only be decided in 2030. The eventual options will be a “full decant” where all MPs move to another building and a program known as “enhanced maintenance and improvement plus” which would allow the House of Commons to remain in the Palace throughout the works. Two of the three people cited above said Conservative Party bosses intend to instruct their MPs…
European capitals are watching these midterms closely — but are under no illusions that a Democrat-led Congress could reverse the new world order shaped by President Donald Trump. The MAGA movement has few friends among European governments, given Trump’s backpedaling on support for Ukraine and NATO. The president’s war in Iran has caused economic chaos across the continent and his frequent browbeating of European leaders is a headache they could do without. So Europe will be watching for two things tonight — firstly, an election that leaves Trump so weakened at home that he’s somehow more stymied abroad. This feels…
PARIS — Après huit mois d’intérim, Versailles s’apprête à accueillir un nouveau président. Guillaume Cerutti, ancien président de la Pinault Collection et ex-patron mondial de Christie’s, devrait prendre la tête du prestigieux château, a appris POLITICO – l’Elysée n’a pas répondu à nos messages. Sa nomination doit être validée en Conseil des ministres mercredi, selon trois personnes au fait de la procédure. Ce choix d’Emmanuel Macron, sur proposition de sa ministre de la Culture Catherine Pégard, met fin aux spéculations qui ont agité le petit monde de la culture, plusieurs noms ayant circulé ces derniers mois, dont ceux de Yaël…

The document, part of the Commission’s enlargement package to be presented Wednesday, identifies seven policy areas in which Ukraine could provisionally complete negotiations next year. It highlights how far Ukraine still has to go before joining the bloc — and the difficulty of delivering the necessary reforms while fighting a war. Decoupling from Moldova The document also underscores a growing divergence between Ukraine and Moldova, whose membership bids have long advanced in parallel. Moldova is now seen as being in a position to make substantially faster progress, raising the prospect that the two countries’ membership bids will effectively be decoupled.…
