Syphilis and gonorrhoea hit record highs in Europe — worst in over a decade

The number of sexually transmitted infections in Europe reached its highest level in over a decade in 2024, with syphilis making a comeback and gonorrhoea hitting new records. This is happening despite the widespread availability of antibiotics, condoms and health information. Experts are questioning what has gone wrong with prevention and sexual education efforts.

Could better sex education in schools curb the rise in STIs?

Opposition to unification with China among Taiwanese has risen to a record 61.7%, the highest in two decades, according to a survey cited by the Taipei Times. Support for joining the PRC fell to a historic low of 7.8%. The results reflect a growing sense of distinct Taiwanese national identity despite ongoing Chinese military and political pressure.

NHS to offer two rapid endometriosis tests for faster diagnosis

Two new rapid diagnostic tests for endometriosis are to be made available on the NHS, offering faster answers to women who have long suffered without a diagnosis. Patients have welcomed the move, with one saying the tests "would have given me years back." Endometriosis affects millions of women and often goes undetected for many years.

Should rapid endometriosis tests be available free to all women?

Poland is rolling out new first letters on licence plates for its largest cities: "A" for Warsaw, "M" for Poznań and "X" for Gdańsk.

Is changing the first letters on Polish licence plates a good idea?

Silver shape hair: 4 modern haircuts that make grey hair look fresh

The "silver shape hair" trend focuses on the cut rather than colour, celebrating natural grey hair as a deliberate style choice. The key elements are proportions, movement and lightness that add volume and make hair look fresh at any length. The trend is gaining momentum on TikTok, Instagram and in fashion magazines.

Should natural grey hair be embraced as a deliberate style statement?

Poles drive on holiday but fear breakdowns abroad

The car is the most popular mode of holiday transport among Poles, offering independence and flexible route planning. However, nearly every second Polish driver fears a vehicle breakdown during their trip, especially abroad. Fear of being stranded is the dominant concern among travelling motorists.

Should fear of breakdowns push Poles to choose other transport for holidays?

Ranavalona I: Madagascar's queen – tyrant or defender of sovereignty?

European accounts labelled Madagascar's Queen Ranavalona I "Caligula in a skirt," but historians increasingly challenge this narrative. She ruled for 33 years (1828–1861) and died in her own bed — facts that sit uneasily with the image of a mad despot. Her harsh policies are increasingly interpreted as a response to French and British colonial pressure.

Was the European portrayal of Queen Ranavalona I unfair?

Spaghetti bolognese doesn't exist in Bologna — Italians are baffled

Italians — especially those from Bologna — are baffled by the worldwide fame of "spaghetti bolognese," a dish that simply does not exist in the local cuisine. In Bologna, the traditional meat ragù is always served with tagliatelle, never spaghetti. Spaghetti bolognese is a foreign invention that has become one of the biggest myths about Italian cooking.

Should spaghetti bolognese be recognised as its own dish unrelated to Bologna?

Only 43% of Polish firms see business conditions as favourable

According to the EY Entrepreneurship Barometer survey, only 43% of Polish entrepreneurs rate business conditions in Poland as favourable or very favourable. The biggest obstacles remain bureaucracy, intense competition and a shortage of qualified workers. The results point to persistent structural challenges for Polish businesses.

Should Poland prioritise cutting red tape for entrepreneurs?

Trump threatens Iran: 1,000 missiles will fire for a year if assassination attempt proceeds

U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran that if it proceeds with any assassination attempt against him, the U.S. military will fire thousands of missiles and destroy Iranian targets for a full year. Trump posted that "1,000 missiles are already loaded." The threat comes amid reports of Iranian plots targeting American officials.

Do Trump's military threats against Iran reduce the risk of conflict?

Toyota Aygo X Hybrid GR Sport review: sporty looks, disappointing performance

The Toyota Aygo X Hybrid GR Sport is a small city car with sporty styling but, according to the reviewer, fails to deliver on the promise of above-average performance. The GR Sport badge raises expectations that the hybrid drivetrain in this compact urban vehicle cannot fully meet. It works well in city conditions but is likely to disappoint driving enthusiasts seeking genuine thrills.

Is the GR Sport badge on a hybrid city car just marketing hype?
