New BMW i3 Returns: 906 km Range, 400 kW Charging — but Sticker Shock Awaits

The new BMW i3 has nothing in common with the avant-garde city car of years past — it is now a fully electric interpretation of the 3 Series, built on the Neue Klasse platform. It boasts a WLTP range of up to 906 km and ultra-fast 400 kW charging. The technology impresses, but the price tag — starting around 270,000 PLN — puts it firmly out of reach for most buyers.

Is such a high price for a premium EV justified by its capabilities?

Cambridge scientists identify 3 distinct subtypes of severe pneumonia

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have identified three distinct subtypes of severe pneumonia, one of the deadliest infectious diseases.

In the future, this could allow doctors to tailor treatments to each patient's specific disease profile.

Proposed changes to family foundations spark expert concerns in Poland

Expert Piotr Aleksiejuk warns that proposed amendments to Poland's family foundation regulations are revolutionary rather than evolutionary in scope. The changes rest on the one-sided assumption that tax benefits are the primary reason people establish family foundations, which he considers a flawed premise. This approach risks discouraging entrepreneurs from using the instrument for succession planning.

Polish football star Robert Gadocha was accused of accepting $18,000 from Argentinian officials during the 1974 World Cup, allegedly in exchange for influencing play on the pitch. Gadocha publicly addressed the accusations only once, and the matter was never officially resolved.

Keir Starmer resigns — UK set for its 7th PM since the Brexit vote

Keir Starmer, who won a landslide election victory in 2024, resigned as UK Prime Minister after his party rebelled following heavy losses in local elections. His departure coincides with the tenth anniversary of the Brexit referendum, which triggered the resignation of Conservative PM David Cameron in 2016. The UK is now set to appoint its seventh prime minister since the Brexit vote, with the country's relationship with the EU a central challenge for whoever succeeds Starmer.

Experts: Europe's defense model unfit for purpose as military ambitions grow

European countries have been working to scale up and integrate their military capabilities, but defence experts warn that the continent's current production and procurement model is not fit for purpose. Europe has declared greater military ambitions, particularly in the wake of the war in Ukraine, yet industrial structures lag behind the stated goals. Without a deep reform of arms production and procurement, European defence ambitions risk remaining on paper only.

Rich Privorotsky, a strategist at Goldman Sachs, described the AI market as a "rubber band" — still stretching but with unknown limits. While major hyperscalers continue to raise their capital expenditure forecasts, AI software is becoming cheaper to develop outside of the biggest players. The key question, he says, is how far the market can stretch before a correction occurs.
