NATO expert Keir Giles: Alliance may become irrelevant to Europe within 10 years

NATO expert and Russia analyst Keir Giles warns that NATO could become irrelevant to Europe within a decade. Decisions on supporting Ukraine that once seemed reasonable now look different — but Giles blames not European miscalculation, but what he calls the irrational policy of the United States. Europe, he argues, must reassess its own security foundations.

Should Europe build a security system independent of NATO?

Comet 3I/ATLAS may predate the Sun – chemical analysis hints at ancient origin

Astronomers have studied the chemical and isotopic composition of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, one of the brightest known objects of its kind. The analysis suggests it may have formed around a very old star and could predate the formation of our Solar System. If confirmed, it would make 3I/ATLAS one of the most ancient objects ever observed passing through the Solar System.

Should studying interstellar comets become a priority for space agencies?

Walmart cuts prices – Trump takes credit, company calls it standard holiday deals

Donald Trump announced that Walmart would cut prices on selected products at his personal request, to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence. Walmart's official statement makes no mention of Trump or the anniversary, describing the reductions simply as standard holiday promotions. The episode is the latest example of tension between the Trump administration and major retailers over consumer prices.

Does Trump have real influence over major retailers' pricing decisions?

Gry Marita Braut – Haaland's mother was an Olympic gold medallist in athletics

Erling Braut Haaland scored twice against Brazil at the World Cup, sending Norway into the quarter-finals. His mother, Gry Marita Braut, was a decorated track and field athlete who won an Olympic gold medal in the 400 metres hurdles. Haaland's sporting genes therefore come not only from his father, former footballer Alfie-Inge Haaland.

Can Norway win this World Cup?

The author uses the German peasant uprising as a mirror for contemporary political tensions. The review appears in the "Półka Ekonomiczna" series.

Hotel Gołębiewski in Pobierowo: a giant resort that divides visitors

Hotel Gołębiewski in Pobierowo is one of Poland's largest holiday resorts and provokes sharply divided opinions. One visitor described it as a "monolith" — vast in scale but defined by a mass-tourism atmosphere. The complex draws large numbers of families with children thanks to its extensive entertainment facilities all under one roof.

Are large all-in-one resort hotels like Gołębiewski a good way to holiday?

NHS to offer rapid endometriosis tests — diagnosis in days, not years

Two new tests — one saliva-based and one using a gut sensor — are to be made available on the NHS in England and Wales to speed up diagnosis of endometriosis. The condition, which affects one in 10 women of reproductive age, currently takes years to diagnose.
