But she added that she has not made a decision yet about whether to run again for president. The next American presidential election is in 2028. “There are many ways to serve,” Harris said, “but I have not decided yet what I will do in the future.” Harris dismissed polls suggesting that she would be an outsider in the presidential race with little chance of winning the Democratic ticket. “If I listened to polls, I would have not run for my first office, or my second office — and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here,” she said.
By Euronews Published on 25/10/2025 – 15:25 GMT+2 Two cooling towers of the former nuclear power plant in Germay’s Bavarian town of Gundremmingen were brought down in a controlled demolition at noon on Saturday. The plant had served as an important landmark in the town for nearly six decades, bringing numerous new jobs and boosting the local economy. As part of the country’s nuclear phaseout and under Germany’s energy transition policy, the Gundremmingen, as well as the Brokdorf, and Grohnde nuclear power plants, had already been decommissioned in December 2021. The closure of the plant had been a tough pill to…
It marks a comeback for Powell, who was sacked as leader of the House of Commons in the reshuffle prompted by Rayner’s departure from government.

She has already argued that Starmer’s government needs to show its values more clearly to the public, including by scrapping a controversial cap on social security payments for families with two or more children. She’s said the contest should be a “course correction” after a tumultuous first year in power for Starmer which left members “frustrated.” Phillipson, the…
“We’re at 157 percent tariff for them. I don’t think that’s sustainable for them,” Trump said. “They want to get that down, and we want certain things from them,” he added. Trump is set to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in South Korea next week. Trump has also threatened to impose an extra 100 percent tariff on Chinese goods from November if China does not roll back its tightened restrictions on its rare earths exports. Asked what are the odds that he would press ahead with that extra 100 percent tariff, Trump replied:…
She did not provide much detail about the plan, nor when it would be presented. But she said it would follow a similar model as the REPowerEU plan that the Commission introduced in 2022 to phase out Russian fossil fuels after Moscow’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. Under REPowerEU, the Commission proposed investing €225 billion to diversify energy supply routes, accelerate the deployment of renewables, improve grids interconnections across the bloc and boost the EU hydrogen market, among other measures. The EU executive also put forward a legislative proposal, which is currently under negotiations with the European Parliament and the Council,…
The problem, Draghi said, is that “our governance has not changed for many years” and the European structure that exists today “simply cannot meet such demands.” To overcome the economic, social and security challenges facing the bloc, the EU urgently needs to reform itself and change its treaties, argued the former president of the European Central Bank and author of a landmark report on the EU’s competitiveness in 2024. “A new pragmatic federalism is the only viable path,” Draghi stressed. Such federalism would be “built through coalitions of willing people around shared strategic interests, recognizing that the diverse strengths that…

Friday’s decision “reflects the increased risk that the fragmentation of the country’s political landscape will continue to impair the functioning of France’s legislative institutions,” Moody’s said in a statement. “This political instability risks hampering the government’s ability to address key policy challenges such as an elevated fiscal deficit, rising debt burden and durable increase in borrowing costs,” the agency said. French Finance Minister Roland Lescure said in a statement that Moody’s decision showed “the absolute need to build a common path toward a budget compromise.” He added that the administration “remains determined” to meet the deficit target of a 5.4…
By Euronews with AP Published on 25/10/2025 – 8:54 GMT+2 Donald Trump departed the White House on Friday night as he set off for Asia, in what will be his first trip to the continent this term. He will be stopping in Malaysia, Japan and South Korea. The US president is expected to work on investment deals and peace efforts before meeting face-to-face with Chinese President Xi Jinping to try to deescalate a trade war. “We have a lot to talk about with President Xi, and he has a lot to talk about with us,” Trump told reporters as he left the White…
The European Union is rushing to find ways to prop up Ukraine’s finances as the war shows no end in sight and the costs mount. The urgency has escalated as the Trump administration made it clear it will be up to Europe to foot the bill for the continent’s security. With the US receding, Europeans are now contemplating an audacious plan to use Russia’s immobilised assets to issue a €140 billion reparations loan to Ukraine, which could help cover the country’s financial and military needs for 2026 and 2027. The plan, however, is facing obstacles. Belgium, which hosts the assets,…
