Kallas has been in intense competition with the Commission over these plans, but an EU official said the reason for the cancellation was pressure from some capitals. “Some member states felt this was not the right path to pursue at this moment,” said the official. “After some discussion with ministers, we have decided not to proceed with the initiative, we are looking at new ways of engaging with member states.” The presentation had been meant to take place in Brussels at the Bibliothèque Solvay on Monday morning, with some 150 people from EU institutions, think tanks, academia and NATO expected…
Europe is recovering after a summer of heatwaves and droughts that have devastated crops and left many farmers facing huge financial losses. To help farmers cope, the European Commission is urging member states to make use of “flexibilities” in the EU’s farm subsidy programme. But Hansen admits no new money will be available for farmers. Instead, he asks for the “solidarity” of consumers and advises against expecting “a certain quality” of produce this year.
An Amazon cargo plane overran the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday, hitting several vehicles and catching fire.

By Bill Wirtz, EU Tech Loop with Euronews Published on 07/09/2026 – 10:00 GMT+2 When I visited an agricultural expo in Izmir, Turkey, three years ago, the use of artificial intelligence in agriculture was constrained to running the numbers on inventory, and were sold as specialised products by companies that had booths far behind those of major tractor manufacturers. However, that is changing. Here are 5 ways in which AI is reforming the way we grow food and feed: Monitoring the situation Crop monitoring remains a venture of intuition. Farmers need to know how their crops are affected by pests and…
Published on 07/09/2026 – 10:09 GMT+2 Dolly Parton’s sister has hit out after her family has been subjected to a “tremendous amount of AI and endless garbage” following the country icon’s death. While acknowledging the “genuine” support shared, Stella Parton has expressed that her and her family have experienced “incredible pressure and insensitivity from strangers”. “Firstly let me say, thank you to the ones of you who have shown ‘genuine’ support and love during this time of our family bereavement,” she wrote on Instagram. “We will be okay in time but each of us will grieve in our own peronal…
Saxony-Anhalt’s incumbent premier Sven Schulze, from the CDU, struck a more sober note on Sunday night. “Some say this is a dark day for Saxony-Anhalt. I say: That’s democracy,” he told ARD. “The people went to the polls today.” The rout piles pressure on Merz, who once vowed to cut the AfD in half but has been chancellor while the far-right party has boomed in the polls. Social Democratic Party co-leader Lars Klingbeil called the vote a “signal to Berlin” and said the result should prompt the federal government to reflect on its policies. Co-leader Bärbel Bas said the result…
A video impersonating Euronews has circulated online with the false allegation that a Ukrainian soldier shot and killed three NATO servicemen during a military exercise in Latvia. The report claims that a soldier opened fire during NATO’s Baltic Trust 2026 exercise, an event that did occur, killing three servicemen before taking his own life. The shooting did not happen, and the video was not produced or published by Euronews. The clip, which garnered more than 2 million views, was shared on X on 14 August and uses Euronews’ name and visual style to make the invented story appear to come…
Spectators lined the streets of Zundert in the Netherlands on Sunday as giant floats covered in dahlias rolled through the town during the annual Flower Parade. Volunteers spent months building the displays, attaching hundreds of thousands of blooms by hand. The parade brings together 20 neighbourhood associations, which compete for the top prize with elaborate floats inspired by themes ranging from war and commedia dell’arte to the film ‘Interstellar’. Footage from the preparations shows volunteers working on the structures and carefully fixing individual dahlias in place. The event, known locally as the Corso, has been held in Zundert since 1936.…
The opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not represent in any way the editorial position of Euronews. The state of the German economy is serious, very serious. Over the past eight years, we’ve lost approximately 15 percent of our industrial production. Month after month, Germany loses around 15,000 industrial jobs. And the industrial base that underpins our prosperity is starting to erode. Private net investment has fallen to almost zero. On balance, companies are doing nothing more than replacing what wears out. High costs are paralyzing companies’ willingness to invest. Even the special depreciation…
Susan Sarandon has shared that her support for Palestine has led to her losing film roles and that parts of the film industry continue to shun her over her activism. The 79-year-old American actress spoke at the Venice Film Festival about how her stance on Israel’s actions in Gaza has affected her work: “In terms of the power structure, I’ve still had movies taken away recently because there are agencies that are telling people not to hire me still.” The Oscar-winning actress noted that despite losing out on film roles she feels “the narrative has completely changed in terms of…
