Shop owners in Paris continued cleaning up and repairing their businesses on Monday after rioting and looting left storefronts damaged and streets strewn with debris. Footage shows workers sweeping up shattered glass, clearing rubbish and repairing vandalised shopfronts as residents and cleanup crews work to restore the affected areas. Ouri Zagoury, whose video game stores near Place de la République were looted on Saturday, said groups had been entering and leaving his shops for hours. He said he had called the police but was unable to stop the looting himself. Zagoury said the cleanup was an attempt to bring some…
“They are currently in an election cycle and need someone to blame for rising prices,” the official said. “In general, Trump tends to like various types of people and leaders. He actually has a fondness for successful and cheerful people.” In recent days, Zelenskyy has warned his country is suffering more civilian casualties because the U.S. has cut back on support, including Starlink and Starshield services that help Ukraine defend itself against Russian attacks and plan operations. “We still have no explanation for this, just different strange stories,” Zelenskyy told U.S. congressmen on Monday. This month, the advanced warnings…
Heavy rain brought by a Mediterranean weather system has triggered flooding in parts of south-eastern France, with roads inundated in the Bouches-du-Rhône department. Seven departments remain under orange weather alerts for flooding and severe weather as the region continues to face the impact of the heavy rainfall. The downpours have been particularly intense in parts of the region, with up to 235 millimetres of rain recorded locally in Saint-Chamas. Authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant as the adverse weather persists.
Still, neither bill would allow abortion on request up to 12 weeks of pregnancy, as Tusk’s Civic Coalition promised during the 2023 election campaign. The multi-party coalition includes many conservatives and lacks agreement on the liberalization going this far. Both bills now move from the lower chamber, or the Sejm, to the Senate, where they seem poised to pass, but their eventual fate remains uncertain. President Karol Nawrocki, an ally of the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party, said before his election in 2025 that he would not sign legislation easing abortion rules. “By refusing to sign [the abortion] legislation,…
Published on 20/10/2026 – 22:10 GMT+2 US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he wanted his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy to “make a deal” with Russia as he complained that the United States had received “nothing back” for its support for Kyiv. Speaking to the media in the White House, Trump said: “We want Zelenskyy to make a deal. He can make a deal.” “He could have made a deal two years ago when we had our little chat in the Oval Office,” he continued, seemingly referencing the pair’s heated exchange during a meeting in early 2025. “He’s going…
The poll was conducted online from 8 p.m. Saturday — after rioting and looting had begun — until Monday. Le Pen remains well ahead of the pack with 34% to 38% of the vote in the various scenarios tested. Given France’s presidential election moves to a two-person runoff if no candidate obtains a majority of votes on the first round, the battle for second place is shaping to be the most crucial story of the election. That fight looks like it will be a tight one. Mélenchon’s position remains similar to what it was before Saturday, despite the attempt by the…
Spain’s Guardia Civil has rescued a family and their dogs from a flooded home in Oliva, as heavy flooding continues to affect parts of the Valencia region. Footage released by the Spanish police force shows an officer carrying a woman on his back through the floodwater, followed by a man being led to safety. The family is then taken out of the flooded town in a Guardia Civil vehicle. Aerial images filmed from a rescue helicopter reveal large areas submerged near the coast, with emergency crews continuing operations to reach residents trapped by the rising water.
“We have hosted today, I would say, good and constructive talks — necessary after events of the last week,” Støre told reporters after the meeting. “Steve Witkoff will fly tomorrow to St. Petersburg where he will be meeting with Russian leadership and exchange ideas from this meeting and the proposals that have been worked on by European and American colleagues, and possibly pave the way for a meeting at leaders’ level.” Previous attempts to get Putin to meet Zelenskyy in person have fallen flat, with the Kremlin recently insisting a meeting could only take place in Moscow. Zelenskyy told the press…

By Kirsten Ripper & Euronews with AP Published on 20/10/2026 – 20:10 GMT+2•Updated 20:44 Shortly before the investment summit in Berlin, Nvidia boss Jensen Huang delivered a sharp slap in the face to Germany. He said it pains him to see how far this economically advanced country has fallen behind. And the 63-year-old CEO of the world’s most valuable company gave what he sees as left-behind Germany some blunt advice: “Just get to work!” (“Just get on with your work!”) Yet Jensen Huang evidently still believes in Germany, because at a fireside chat with Chancellor Friedrich Merz, a crucial AI deal was agreed, according to…
