Move over “Lake America.” Donald Trump has opened a fresh front in his running battle with Canada, and this time the target is the drinks cabinet. The US president on Tuesday escalated his trade war against Ottawa, banning imports of alcohol and other goods and hiking tariffs elsewhere, with the dispute showing no sign of cooling. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stood firm, acknowledging that loosening economic ties with the United States would come at a cost but insisting the benefits would outweigh the pain. A range of Canadian products, from mattresses to motorboats and golf carts, will face a…
“We will continue to discuss the campaign, ways to avoid inflicting irreparable damage [on each other], and agree on a code of conduct,” he said. Attal and his advisers started organizing the meetings in the spring, after Philippe launched his campaign but before Attal’s announcement, to ensure the centrist bloc remained united. But the encounters have been marred by disagreements over how to rally around a single champion. A lawmaker from Philippe’s party, Horizons, concurred that Tuesday’s meeting would not lead to a breakthrough. Portrait of Marine Le Pen during La REF of MEDEF at Roland Garros in Paris, on…

France’s Champagne region is facing an extraordinary harvest collapse. Yet consumers should not expect the number of bottles reaching shops to halve — at least not yet. The reason is that this year’s harvest does not determine how many bottles can be sold immediately. Champagne takes several years to make, and producers hold substantial stocks and reserve wines from earlier harvests to help maintain supply when a crop is poor. And across France, wine production is expected to reflect a very poor harvest this year. According to preliminary estimates from Agreste, the French Agriculture Ministry’s statistics office, overall wine production…
If you, like me, prefer to maximise your travel budget for on-ground experiences rather than flight fares, but are on the taller side and do like a bit of extra leg room (plus an excuse to splurge just a little bit), premium economy can be a happy medium between a standard economy fare and business or first class. And the perks of premium economy travel doesn’t start and end in the sky. Think more generous baggage allowances (at least compared to economy), speedier check-in and not having to wait as long to board. Now it seems airlines are betting that…
Three caves in Granada reveal that cannibalism was a recurrent practice during the Neolithic in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. The analysis of nearly 1,000 human remains found at Malalmuerzo, Carigüela and Majólicas has made it possible to date these assemblages for the first time and determine that acts of cannibalism took place in different periods and social contexts. One of the most striking cases is Malalmuerzo, where researchers suggest that the cave may have been the scene of an episode of collective violence followed by acts of cannibalism around 5000 BC. More than half a century after these…

On today’s show, Zoya Sheftalovich and Ian Wishart discuss how EU capitals are looking again to Israel for cooperation on things like air defense, space and artificial intelligence. Our hosts explain why this is an awkward look for the bloc. Then, two years after Mario Draghi’s competitiveness report, we break down how much of his plan Europe has actually delivered. And finally: France’s brutal summer is hitting wine harvest … is there another drink you’ll…
UK travellers face more misery on Wednesday with more than 150 flights scrapped across the country, as Britain’s air traffic control service scrambled to recover from a technical glitch that sparked chaos. Aircraft tracking website FlightRadar24 said 177 flights scheduled for Wednesday had already been axed, following 1,300 cancellations to and from UK airports on Tuesday. Nearly all the flights cancelled on Wednesday were at Britain’s busiest airport Heathrow in London, FlightRadar24 wrote on X. The National Air Traffic Services (NATS) said late on Tuesday it was still working to resolve disruption following a “system issue.” “Work is continuing to…
Frankfurt will almost certainly move on Thursday. Market odds put a quarter-point hike at close to certainty, which would lift the European Central Bank’s deposit rate from 2.25% to 2.5%. What makes this a difficult call is not whether the ECB acts, but why, and whether the reasoning survives contact with the data. The path here has been compressed as the ECB raised rates on 11 June for the first time in three years, lifting the deposit rate from 2% to 2.25% in response to the energy shock from the Iran war, and then held rates in July while Christine…
