Published on 16/10/2026 – 8:25 GMT+2•Updated 9:22 Tech billionaire Elon Musk gave Tesla fans an up-close look at the electric vehicle maker’s latest and perhaps most ambitious project on Thursday night – the long-awaited Tesla Roadster. “We need an audience to prove that it’s not AI or SI,” Musk told the crowd at the livestreamed event. “So, you guys can tell people that you saw it with your eyes. Because what you see with your eyes, you will not believe.” In a dramatic demonstration, the Roadster – Tesla’s only manually driven car – then drove up a towering, curved ramp,…
Even amateur photographers know that the best time to get snapping is during “golden hour” – but not all are created equal. Some are far longer than an hour, others shorter; clouds can get in the way of the effect, as can rainfall; and light pollution can have an impact, too. Luckily for us, travel company Kuoni has teamed up with meteorologist Jim Dale from British Weather Services to create a ranking for the world’s best spots for golden hour. Having analysed 165 destinations against metrics including cloud cover, light pollution, rainfall, artificial brightness, wind speed and average sunset duration,…

Zelenskyy’s plea: After a bruising week that has seen tensions between the Ukrainian leader and US President Donald Trump boil over once more, Zelenskyy is aiming to shore up further military assistance, strengthen Ukraine’s air defences and protect its energy infrastructure as he joins EU leaders for talks. In an exclusive interview with our correspondent Sasha Vakulina ahead of the summit, Zelenskyy’s deputy chief of staff Ihor Zhovkva called forthe development of European alternatives to US anti-ballistic missile defence capabilities and Starlink satellite communications, both of which have been undermined by uncertainty over continued US support. Watch. Zelenskyy’s participation in…
At least 3 people have died and 5 remain missing after torrential rain triggered severe flooding in Istanbul, Turkey, on Thursday 15 October. Officials described the downpour as the heaviest in at least 80 years. Aerial footage shows streets submerged in muddy floodwater in Ayazağa, a neighbourhood on Istanbul’s European side, with damaged cars, overturned vans and stranded trucks scattered across the roads. Emergency crews worked to clear debris and reach affected areas as residents struggled with the aftermath. The floods have also disrupted essential services, leaving some households without electricity, running water or natural gas. Ayazağa residents said the…
Over the past few years, there have been many reports from tourists about excessive prices, scams and even drivers refusing to take passengers from Lisbon airport. Faced with problems affecting both foreign visitors and locals, a protocol was signed last September to set fixed fares for taxi journeys. Several complaints on social media describe allegedly tampered taximeters, mileage being diverted and cases in which taxi drivers will only accept cash payments. Back in August, Josien Nation, a Dutch citizen living in Portugal, described the situation as a “tourist trap”. In a video posted on the Facebook page Nations Without Borders,…
Other buildings in the EU Quarter of Brussels (or, as it’s now known, the 21st arrondissement) have not been so lucky. Most have been razed to the ground. Some have been occupied by disgruntled former EU staff, who are refusing to leave and have set up a working group to discuss a future roadmap that will feed into a discussion on how to bring back a European Union that Le Pen has largely destroyed. Largely, but not completely. There is still an official EU office; the corner table in the branch of sandwich shop Exki near the Schuman roundabout (ironically,…

Many European countries face a housing crisis, with a shortage of homes and rising prices. Rents also continue to increase, and city centres are particularly expensive. A single salary is no longer enough to cover the rent for a family-sized flat in the heart of a major city for many European households. But what if a couple both work and share the rent? Is that enough? How much money would they have left each month after paying rent? And how do European cities compare globally? The Mapping the World’s Prices 2026 report, published by Deutsche Bank Research Institute, sheds some…
