Economist Warns Europe Must Urgently Boost Competitiveness and Productivity

Economist Marek Tatała, head of the Economic Freedom Foundation, comments on Ireland's EU Council presidency themed "Strength through Unity." He argues that turning announcements into concrete decisions to boost competitiveness and productivity matters far more than the slogan itself. Tatała warns that without urgent action, Europe risks falling further behind global competitors.

Is the EU doing enough to improve the competitiveness of European economies?

Egypt blames referee for 2-3 World Cup loss to Argentina

After Egypt's 2-3 World Cup defeat to Argentina, Egyptian media and pundits are blaming controversial refereeing decisions for the result. The country is struggling to accept its elimination, with widespread anger directed at the match official rather than the team's performance.

Did refereeing decisions play a decisive role in Egypt's loss to Argentina?

Netflix losing viewers due to its own show-cancellation policy

Netflix is facing a significant viewer decline for its biggest shows, a problem largely of its own making. The streamer's habit of cancelling breakout hits without warning has frustrated subscribers, who also point to inconsistent decisions — such as renewing Emily in Paris while axing other popular series — as a key driver of disengagement.

Should Netflix stop cancelling popular shows without warning?

The accompanying sweepstakes now offers ten $500 Samsung.com gift cards instead of last year's single $5,000 grand prize.

Should Samsung offer bigger perks for pre-ordering the Galaxy Z Fold 8?

US strikes over 80 targets in Middle East; alarms sound in Bahrain and Kuwait

The US conducted overnight strikes on more than 80 targets in the region, prompting sharp Iranian rhetoric. Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf declared that "the era of intimidation and extortion is over." Air raid sirens sounded in Bahrain at dawn and Kuwait activated its air defences, signalling escalating regional tensions.

Were the US strikes on Iran a justified military response?

US revokes Iran oil waiver — tens of millions of barrels stranded on tankers

The US has revoked a 60-day waiver that had allowed Iran to sell its crude oil, leaving tens of millions of barrels already loaded on tankers in legal limbo. The move sharply complicates the market for Iranian crude and could have significant consequences for global oil prices.

Is revoking Iran's oil sales waiver an effective instrument of pressure?

How McCartney and Lennon co-wrote "I Want to Hold Your Hand"

In the early Beatles years, John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote songs face to face, working line by line at the same instrument. "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was composed this way in the basement of Jane Asher's London home, at a single piano. This intimate creative process produced many of the band's greatest hits.

Is face-to-face co-writing better than solo songwriting?

US leads in AI able to break cyber defences, but advantage may be short-lived

The United States is currently the first country to possess advanced language models capable of breaking through virtually any cyber defence. However, experts warn that this technological edge may not last long, while also noting that having such tools offers an opportunity to harden US systems against future adversarial attacks.

Is the US lead in AI-powered cyber capabilities sustainable?

Russia exhausted but Ukraine still unable to break through in Donbas

Another month of fighting in Ukraine shows clear signs of Russian exhaustion — the anticipated major spring-summer offensive has failed to materialise. Russia can only manage localised gains in the Donbas, while talk of a new wave of forced mobilisation is growing louder. Despite this, Ukraine has not been able to break through the front lines.

Can Ukraine break through the front without additional Western support?
