When did Europe go wrong? For decades, we thought the European project would disappear due to external threats… but we never imagined that this would happen because of the irresponsibility of its leaders, nor because of the inaction of its citizens. Nobody thought that Europe would cease to be the horizon that the rest of the world aspires to reach.
Infants and toddlers are also being targeted by immigration agents. An investigation by The Marshall Project and MS NOW found that at least 500 children under the age of three have passed through Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers since January 2025, a surge that coincides with Donald Trump’s return to power and the resumption of the detention of migrant families.

Los bebés y niños pequeños también están en la mira de los agentes migratorios. Una investigación de The Marshall Project y MS NOW encontró que al menos 500 menores de tres años han pasado por centros de detención del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) desde enero de 2025, un incremento que coincide con el regreso de Donald Trump al poder y la reanudación de la detención de familias migrantes.

Located hundreds of miles from the front, the R-280 Novorrosiya highway was, until a few months ago, not only a quiet route between southern Russia and Crimea. It was arguably the Kremlin’s biggest strategic achievement in four years of war in Ukraine. This land corridor along the Sea of Azov freed Russian logistics from relying on its massive Kerch Strait bridge to supply the peninsula, annexed by Moscow in 2014, and the forces deployed in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. However, new Ukrainian weapons have made all routes to Crimea extremely perilous, a situation comparable to the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, giving Kyiv new leverage to pressure Moscow. Crimea, the jewel of Putinism and a pilgrimage destination for Russian tourists, is no longer safe and is running out of fuel.

An agricultural property a few miles from Gilroy, just south of the San Francisco Bay Area, has become the latest flashpoint in the ongoing clash between California and the Trump Administration. California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Santa Clara County filed a federal lawsuit on Wednesday seeking to stop the construction of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility that local officials say could be used to temporarily detain migrants as part of the federal government’s intensified immigration enforcement efforts.

Russia began delegitimizing Armenia's election within hours of Nikol Pashinyan's 8 June 2026 victory. The Institute for the Study of War said so in its 9 June assessment. ISW identified three coordinated false narratives advanced by Russian government officials and pro-Kremlin commentators since the result.
One narrative claims Pashinyan "lost" because Civil Contract took less than 50% of the vote. A second says the election unfolded under Western pressure and domestic opposition suppression. A third alleges mass electoral fraud. ISW wrote that Moscow "continues spreading false narratives of stolen elections in post-Soviet states when those results do not favor Russian interests."
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova led Moscow's reaction to Armenia's election on 8 June. She alleged the vote unfolded under "unprecedented pressure on the opposition and interference from the West, primarily the EU." Zakharova said Civil Contract "did not receive a monopoly on power." The campaign featured "harsh repression" of opposition activists and attacks on the Armenian Apostolic Church, The Armenian Mirror-Spectator reported.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to congratulate Pashinyan. He told reporters Moscow is "waiting for the final results" and "recording numerous irregularities." The Central Election Commission's final tally put Civil Contract at 49.81%—727,160 votes. That left Samvel Karapetyan's pro-Russian "Strong Armenia" a distant second at 23.29%, Al Jazeera reported. Turnout topped 58%.
ISW pointed to Maia Sandu's 2024 Moldovan presidential victory as the direct precedent. The think tank wrote that Moscow had alleged "election fraud, suppression of opposition, and 'illegitimate' results." The Kremlin suggested "Sandu's victory materialized only after counting Western diaspora ballots," ISW added.
Sandu's Party of Action and Solidarity went on to win 50.14% in the September 2025 parliamentary vote anyway. Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recean said the Kremlin spent approximately €200 million on the 2024 cycle. That equals nearly 1% of Moldova's GDP, Reuters reported.
ISW also flagged a parallel economic threat. On 8 June, the head of the Federal Agency for Fisheries, Ilya Shestakov, warned at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum. He vowed "further steps will certainly follow" against Armenian exports if "veterinary risks" arise, Kyiv Post reported.
The warning compounded restrictions imposed since May on Armenian mineral water, alcohol, flowers, fruits, vegetables, and fish. ISW described the move as economic punishment for Armenia "distancing itself from Russia." That distancing is precisely what Armenia's election ratified — Pashinyan's government has reduced participation in the Russia-led CSTO and reoriented Civil Contract's policies toward the EU.
Seventeen naturalized U.S. citizens could lose their citizenship after the Department of Justice announced new actions on Monday to revoke that status. The move is part of the denaturalization campaign pursued by President Donald Trump’s administration against people whom the Republican government says obtained citizenship through fraud or deception during the naturalization process.

Francesca Michielin si sposa con Davide Spigarolo. Le pubblicazioni di matrimonio sono comparse nei Comuni di Bassano del Grappa e Marostica. La cantante e il compagno si preparano alle nozze dopo una relazione vissuta lontano dall’esposizione continua. Data e luogo della cerimonia non sono stati comunicati.
Francesca Michielin si prepara al matrimonio con Davide Spigarolo. La notizia è emersa dopo la comparsa delle pubblicazioni nei Comuni legati alla coppia: Bassano del Grappa per la cantante e Marostica per il futuro marito. Un passaggio formale che anticipa le nozze e che ha subito acceso la curiosità dei fan.
Per ora non sono stati diffusi dettagli sulla data, sulla location o sugli invitati. La scelta conferma la linea mantenuta negli ultimi anni dalla cantautrice, che ha sempre raccontato poco della propria vita privata e ha preferito lasciare alla musica lo spazio pubblico maggiore.
Il matrimonio arriva in una fase molto intensa per Francesca Michielin. La cantante è tornata al centro dell’attenzione anche con i nuovi progetti musicali, tra singoli, album e appuntamenti live.
Davide Spigarolo non appartiene al mondo dello spettacolo. Lavora nello sport, tra preparazione atletica, osteopatia e attività tecnica. Il suo nome è legato anche a una famiglia molto conosciuta nell’atletica italiana: è figlio di Gabriella Dorio, oro olimpico nei 1500 metri a Los Angeles 1984.
La relazione con Francesca Michielin è stata raccontata negli anni attraverso pochi dettagli. I due si conoscevano da tempo e si sarebbero avvicinati durante il periodo della pandemia, fino a costruire una storia stabile. Lei ha parlato più volte dell’importanza di avere accanto una persona capace di accompagnarla nei momenti più difficili, senza trasformare il rapporto in materiale da copertina.
La coppia condivide anche alcune passioni, dallo sport alla Formula 1. In diverse occasioni sono stati notati insieme in contesti legati ai motori, ma sempre senza alimentare esposizioni eccessive.
Le nozze, salvo sorprese, dovrebbero arrivare nei prossimi mesi. La cantante intanto prosegue con la musica, mentre la curiosità attorno al matrimonio cresce giorno dopo giorno.

“The world will stand still, and the eyes of the world will be focused on North America,” the 56-year-old Swiss president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, said a few days ago from the United Nations headquarters in New York. With four days to go before the ball starts rolling, the three host countries — the United States, Mexico, and Canada — say they have everything ready. Or, more precisely, almost everything. The biggest soccer tournament in history — 48 national teams playing a total of 104 matches — takes place amid various circumstances that complicate organization: the United States remains at war with Iran, President Donald Trump’s strict immigration policies are frightening away many supporters, and FIFA’s dynamic-pricing ticket system has put seats out of reach for much of the fan base.

Chinese espionage in the European Union and neighboring countries reveals its full scope when certain pieces are connected. The May 20 arrest in Germany of a German couple of Chinese origin who were taking military-technology information from universities is a particularly notable case. But it is only one of many. The episode exposes a strategy of large-scale, coordinated infiltration when placed alongside other arrests in EU member states and neighboring countries. In total, around 30 agents and collaborators have been uncovered in Europe and its vicinity in just the past two years; some were arrested, several expelled, and others are awaiting trial. China typically denies all espionage allegations and describes them as slander.

Amid growing scrutiny over the rising number of deaths in immigration detention, the Trump administration has eliminated a policy that required U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to investigate and report the deaths of detainees that occurred within 30 days of their release.

Used to hearing Antony Beevor detail troop movements at Stalingrad, the siege of Berlin, the Normandy landings, the paratroopers’ effort at Arnhem or the Panzer offensive in Hitler’s last stand in the Ardennes, it is surprising to hear him talk about Rasputin’s penis. In truth, he adopts the same look of intense concentration he brings to his usual military topics. “Rasputin’s penis… is an object of interest, certainly,” he says when his interlocutor mentions that, during an afternoon of astonishment and vodka, he saw on display in a St. Petersburg museum the appendage shown as such in a glass jar. “Yes, it is said to measure 13 inches, about 33 centimeters, but I don’t know that it’s something to take seriously. My father-in-law, the historian John Julius Norwich, used to explain that his father, Duff Cooper, the first British ambassador to France after the Liberation and also a historian [and father of the notable writer Artemis Cooper, Beevor’s wife], was convinced that part of Rasputin’s sexual success and magnetism lay in his member and his muscular control, but there is no historical record that it was cut off after his murder. Today it is impossible to assert that what is on display is his; I don’t believe any DNA test has been done.” In fact, some say it is a horse’s penis, or, if not that, a dried sea cucumber, as has also been suggested. Beevor recalls, in any case, that at the time in Tsarist Russia, Rasputin was credited with extraordinary sexual potency and caricatures circulated showing his organ, in reference to the monk’s influence over the Tsarina Alexandra and, through her, Tsar Nicholas II, with the legend: “The rod that rules Russia.”

In December 2024, the Eagle S., an oil tanker flying the Cook Islands flag that had sailed from a Russian port, was detained by Finnish police. It was accused of damaging an electric cable and four other data cables on the floor of the Baltic Sea with its anchor. It may have been an accident, but repeated incidents prompted NATO the following month to launch a military operation, Baltic Sentry, deploying surveillance aircraft, ships, and drones to confront the undersea threat. Suspicions pointed to the so‑called Russian ghost fleet, with which the Putin regime is evading EU sanctions imposed after the invasion of Ukraine.

With just a few days to go before the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the world’s largest sporting event faces the question of what role U.S. immigration authorities will play. Now, a new poll by The Washington Post and the University of Maryland has found that most Americans would prefer they play no role at all.

Romania has been deeply shaken by the unprecedented incident that occurred in the early hours of last Friday, when a Russian drone carrying 30 kilograms of explosives crashed into a 10-story apartment block in Galați. The city lies just 15 miles from the Ukrainian port of Reni, one of the neighboring country’s key grain-export facilities and a reason why Russia attacks almost nightly. But on this occasion the drone’s impact crossed boundaries not previously seen in this European Union country. The unmanned aircraft exploded, injuring a woman and her 14-year-old son, who lived on the building’s top floor; the block stands in the nerve center of this town of about 250,000 people on the banks of the Danube.

Russians, accustomed to living with constant unpredictability, have been stashing rubles for months in the drawers of their homes. Cash withdrawals have been so massive since the start of the year that the Bank of Russia has carried out a substantial upward revision of the financial system’s liquidity needs through the end of 2026. Internet shutdowns — and, by extension, disruptions to payment systems — ordered by the authorities for alleged “security reasons” have driven Russians to withdraw money from ATMs. Added to this, in a bid to raise revenue to fund the war against Ukraine, is a new bill that would tighten controls on cash payments to businesses.
