<description><![CDATA[ While the Lyhanna case in France has exposed the shortcomings of a fragmented system for dealing with sexual violence against minors, Belgium stands as a model with its Centres for the Care of Sexual Violence (CPVS). The centres are based on a simple principle: a victim only has to walk through one door to find a doctor, forensic nurse, psychologist and specialized police officer – all in one place. Born from a pilot project in three hospitals, the model proved convincing with its scientific results from the first evaluation. In 2020, the government decided to roll it out nationwide. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ FRANCE 24’s Europe editor-in-chief Caroline de Camaret hosts Maia Sandu, the President of Moldova. This in the context of an EU-Moldova summit held on June 22, 2026, in Brussels. The ex-Soviet republic of nearly 3 million people that borders Ukraine has opened its first “cluster” of negotiations to join the European Union. But, as it moves closer to the bloc, Moldova is becoming an intense battleground between pro-EU and pro-Kremlin forces.This edition also features a report by FRANCE 24’s Isabelle Romero and Anaïs Chesnel, set in the inaugural conference on EU investment in Moldova.  ]]></description>

<guid>https://eudaily.news/eu-tech-sovereignty-uncoupling-from-the-us-and-china</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The EU is trying to assert its strategic independence in an unstable world – a world of bullies, as some members of the EU Parliament describe it. That means independence in matters of defence and energy supplies, but also in the whole field of tech. The European Commission says non-EU companies provide more than 80 percent of the EU’s digital products and services. One of the key proposals aimed at changing that is the “Tech Sovereignty Package”, which was presented in early June. With our guests, we dive into the initiative, explain the geopolitical context and ask what it would take for the bloc to achieve real technological sovereignty. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Nadia Massih is pleased to welcome Dr. Volodymyr Yermolenko, Ukrainian philosopher, journalist, author and President of PEN Ukraine. According to Dr Yermolenko, the war is not simply a military confrontation, Europe&#039;s future hangs in the balance. Speaking hours after a devastating missile attack on Kyiv, he juxtaposes the intimate experience of civilian vulnerability with a broader strategic analysis, arguing that Russia&#039;s continued attacks on residential areas reflect military frustration rather than momentum. He contends that Ukraine&#039;s comparative advantage lies in asymmetric warfare, technological innovation, and the mobilisation of civil society, while warning that European support is not merely an act of solidarity but a matter of continental self-preservation. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Poland is one of the most restrictive countries in Europe for LGBT rights. Neither marriages nor civil partnerships for same-sex couples are legal there. But as of late May, Poland has legalised the recognition of same-sex marriages performed in third countries. The change comes after the European Court of Justice ruled that Warsaw was in contravention of EU free movement laws if it withdrew rights that couples had acquired in another country. As a result, Polish same-sex couples have been rushing to organise weddings outside the country. FRANCE 24&#039;s Adrien Sarlat reports, with Gulliver Cragg. ]]></description>

<guid>https://eudaily.news/french-hospitals-better-prepared-important-lessons-learned-from-deadly-2003-heatwave</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Nadia Massih is pleased to welcome Dr. Antoine Flahault, Epidemiologist, Researcher, and Professor at Université Paris Cité - Hospital Bichat. France&#039;s latest heatwave has once again exposed healthcare systems were largely designed for another era. While the immediate focus often falls on soaring temperatures and overcrowded emergency departments, Dr. Flahault argues that the deeper issue is institutional adaptation. He suggests that France has learned important lessons since the deadly 2003 heatwave, with hospitals adopting better clinical practices and emergency planning. Yet as heatwaves become more frequent and intense, protecting vulnerable populations will increasingly require structural investment, particularly widespread access to air conditioning in hospitals, care homes, schools and, for those most at risk, private homes.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ &quot;A new era has begun&quot; is how some Hungarians are describing this year&#039;s Pride march, following 16 years of Viktor Orbán&#039;s government, during which the event was consistently restricted. France 24 correspondent Gulliver Cragg is in Budapest, where thousands are taking part in the parade despite scorching temperatures. The position of the newly elected Prime Minister, Péter Magyar, on LGBTQ+ rights remains ambiguous. He avoided the issue during the election campaign and is not attending today&#039;s Pride march. At the same time, he recently stated that &quot;nobody should be stigmatised because of the way they love,&quot; leaving many uncertain about how his government will approach LGBTQ+ rights. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ As Europe confronts increasingly frequent and intense heatwaves, the conversation around climate adaptation is shifting from environmental policy to public health, education, and social infrastructure. Haxie Meyers-Belkin is pleased to welcome Caradee Wright, Chief Specialist Scientist at the South African Medical Research Council leading the Climate and Health Research Programme. She argues that schools have become one of the clearest frontlines of climate change. Her analysis moves beyond the immediate debate over air conditioning to present a more systemic vision of heat resilience, combining architecture, behavioural adaptation, public awareness, and educational policy.Rather than framing extreme heat as a temporary disruption, Wright treats it as a defining condition of the coming decades that demands structural change. She highlights children&#039;s unique physiological vulnerability, questions whether historic school buildings remain fit for a warming climate, and argues that protecting education requires redesigning both physical spaces and institutional routines. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Has Trump whispering run its course? Ask the departing Keir Starmer who famously brought that letter of invitation from the king to the Oval Office or Hungary’s ousted leader Viktor Orban. And how about the very public breakup with the only European leader invited to Donald Trump’s second inauguration last year. Beyond the spat over whether Italy’s Georgia Meloni begged the US president for a selfie at last week’s G-Seven summit… there’s the growing divide between Rome and Washington over trade Ukraine, Greenland, Israel, Lebanon and the war in Iran.  ]]></description>

<guid>https://eudaily.news/france-best-prepared-in-europe-for-heatwaves-while-uk-views-heat-as-occasional-inconvenience</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Nadia Massih is pleased to welcome Ian Williams, Professor of Applied Environmental Science in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton, UK. He argues that Europe&#039;s current heatwave should not be understood as an exceptional weather event but as evidence of a new climatic reality shaped by anthropogenic warming. While acknowledging that adaptation measures can significantly reduce mortality and social disruption, he maintains that increasingly intense heat extremes are ultimately driven by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Williams presents France as a notable case study in climate adaptation, citing its post-2003 reforms as among the most comprehensive heat governance frameworks in Europe. However, he also stresses that even the best-prepared societies face mounting challenges as climate change amplifies the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events. ]]></description>

<guid>https://eudaily.news/achieving-net-zero-carbon-emissions-can-reduce-the-intensity-duration-and-frequency-of-heat-waves</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Haxie Meyers-Belkin is pleased to welcome Dr. Chloe Brimacombe. She presents a clear and sobering analysis of the current European heatwave as both a meteorological event and a societal stress test. Her argument is that the exceptional temperatures affecting France are not merely unusual because of their intensity, but because they combine several compounding factors: their early arrival in the season, elevated humidity that amplifies health risks, and a broader trend toward longer and more frequent heatwaves across Europe. While she emphasizes the continued necessity of decarbonization and achieving net-zero emissions, her analysis focuses equally on adaptation. Schools, hospitals, care homes, and public infrastructure must be redesigned for a hotter climate. ]]></description>

Nearly five years after the Taliban&#039;s return to power, Afghanistan occupies an uneasy position in international politics.

<description><![CDATA[ Angela Diffley is pleased to welcome Peter Zalmayev, director of the Eurasia Democracy Initiative. He offers a forceful assessment of the evolving dynamics of Russia&#039;s war against Ukraine. Rejecting narratives of Russian momentum, he argues that Moscow&#039;s intensified bombardment of Kyiv reflects mounting pressure on President Vladimir Putin, whose military campaign has become increasingly &quot;bogged down&quot; and politically costly. While acknowledging the devastating impact on Ukrainian civilians, he contends that Russia&#039;s battlefield difficulties, growing casualties, and declining territorial gains have created pressure on the Kremlin to project power through spectacular strikes on urban centers. As Moscow faces AI-enhanced drone warfare to systematic strikes on Russian oil infrastructure and military logistics, Putin must demonstrate to his &quot;jingoistic militaristic base&quot; that &quot;Russia is not impotent. Russia can strike back.&quot; ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ If the first thing Europeans think of when they fill up at the pump is Donald Trump&#039;s decision to attack Iran, it&#039;s little wonder that previously pro-MAGA populists are quietly distancing themselves from the president of the United States. In fact, Trump actively campaigning for Peter Magyar&#039;s rival actually helped Hungary&#039;s new conservative prime minister boot out Viktor Orban, his predecessor of 16 years. Magyar is hoping to cash in this week with a deal to unlock more than €10 billion in frozen EU funds. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ PRESS REVIEW – Thursday, May 28, 2026: Papers discuss whether Russia could potentially invade Europe. But first, Spanish front pages cover the latest developments in the political corruption scandal that has hit the Socialist Party. Elsewhere, US President Donald Trump&#039;s renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool continues to make headlines. Finally, some dogs are fashionable, but one pup is in the dog house.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ With the US bogged down in its war against Iran, Ukraine has been urging Europe to step up and play an active role in negotiations on bringing the Russian invasion to an end. But EU officials say the bloc first needs to be aligned on what it wants to say to Moscow – and who would be best placed to serve as a mediator.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ If the first thing Europeans think of when they fill up at the pump is Donald Trump&#039;s decision to attack Iran, it&#039;s little wonder that previously pro-Maga populists are quietly distancing themselves from the president of the United States.
 
In fact, Trump actively campaigning for Peter Magyar&#039;s rival actually helped Hungary’s new conservative prime minister boot out his predecessor of 16 years Viktor Orban… Magyar who hopes to cash in this week with a deal to unlock more than 10 billion euros in frozen EU funds. If Budapest’s no longer MAGA’s European headquarters…then where do fellow travelers turn in places like France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands? Do they instead double down on the love for Russia’s Vladimir Putin like Germany’s far-right? For hardened eurosceptics, does the master of the Kremlin still seem like an invincible nationalist when he&#039;s bogged down in Ukraine?
 
So, cozy up to outside superpowers... like Britain&#039;s Nigel Farage who&#039;s long been enamored with Trump… or as shown by recent revelations surrounding the same Reform UK leader… instead find a billionaire with a bee in his bonnet to bankroll you? ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ It&#039;s a major milestone for the luxury automobile industry, as Ferrari unveils its first fully electric car. The company introduced the Luce - Italian for &quot;light&quot;. While its all-electric powertrain will take it from zero to 100 even faster than Ferrari&#039;s petrol-powered offerings, the four-door Luce has room for a family of five. It&#039;s the culmination of five years of development at the iconic Italian sportscar giant - but a potentially risky bet, as other luxury and mass-market carmakers have had to temper their EV ambitions amid mounting headwinds. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Why is Europe warming faster than other parts of the world? The continent is currently in the grip of an early-season heatwave, with record May temperatures driven by a “heat dome” of hot air over western Europe. Scientists point to human-caused emissions, shifting atmospheric patterns, and rapid Arctic warming as key factors amplifying extreme heat across the region. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ In this episode we explore how the EU deals with outbreaks of disease. The latest scare for Europeans has been the hantavirus, detected on cruise ship the MV Hondius, which subsequently docked in Spain. Experts have stressed that this virus is not like Covid-19 and is much less infectious. Nevertheless, the EU&#039;s civil protection mechanism was triggered, and several member states took part in evacuation flights from Tenerife in the Canary Islands. ]]></description>

Certain smells can pull you back to childhood, no matter how far you’ve wandered. For me, it’s the aroma of German Erbsensuppe — that comforting blend of peas, vegetables, and smoky pork that feels like a warm hug in a bowl. I grew up with that soup. Not the fancy kind, not the restaurant kind, but the kind that bubbled away on the stove for …

<description><![CDATA[ AngiesWeb
Polish Angel Wings — Chruściki, or Faworki — are delicate pastries that enchant with their impossibly thin and crisp texture. Dusted with powdered sugar, they resemble snowflakes. A single bite causes them to shatter, leaving a lingering sweetness and a hint of nostalgia. Angel Wings are most famously Polish. However, they are part of a much larger culinary family that stretches across Central and Eastern …

Growing up in Germany, bakeries were integral to daily life. Stepping inside felt almost ceremonial, with displays of Brötchen, golden Laugenstangen, warm Pretzels, and beautifully shaped Salzstangen (German Bread Sticks) glistening with coarse salt. Certain smells stay with you no matter where life takes you. For me, it’s the unmistakable aroma of a German bakery in the morning—warm yeast, freshly baked rolls, a hint of …

On a warm summer evening in Würzburg, it’s easy to feel as if you’ve stepped into a postcard image. Holding a cool glass of Silvaner on the Alte Mainbrücke, the fortress looms above you.
