VW unions torpedo turnaround plan, leaving CEO Blume under pressure

Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume failed to secure initial backing from the supervisory board for a fundamental overhaul of the carmaker. Labour unions torpedoed the turnaround plan, leaving Blume facing an uphill battle to push through the reforms. VW has been grappling with serious financial and structural challenges requiring deep restructuring.

Were VW unions right to block the company's turnaround plan?

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?

Remembering Volhynia massacre victims buried in mass graves

The article concerns remembrance of Volhynia massacre victims buried in mass graves. Relatives of the murdered stress a genetic bond with those killed: "Our relatives lie there — people with the same DNA." The piece raises the issue of identifying and commemorating the slaughtered Poles.

Should Poland make its relations with Ukraine conditional on exhuming Volhynia massacre victims?

iOS users spend significantly more on apps than Android users, study finds

Research confirms the widespread belief that iPhone users spend more on mobile apps than Android device owners. This is partly attributed to Apple's premium hardware pricing, which attracts wealthier customers. The spending gap is significant and influences how developers approach monetisation strategies.

Should Apple lower iPhone prices to attract a broader range of users?

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.

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.

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?

Mortgage rates fall after dovish NBP press conference

Following the dovish tone of NBP Governor Adam Glapiński's press conference and easing tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, Polish bond yields fell noticeably, pushing mortgage rates significantly lower than just a few weeks ago. The drop is good news for borrowers repaying home loans in Poland.

Should the NBP cut interest rates as soon as possible?

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?

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?

11 July 1943: UPA attacked nearly 100 villages in the peak of the Volhynia genocide

On 11 July 1943, units of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) attacked nearly 100 Polish villages in Volhynia in the climactic phase of the genocide. Historian Prof. Grzegorz Motyka explains that the extreme cruelty of the crimes was deliberate — intended to conceal their organised, premeditated nature. Historians stress that a death sentence was effectively issued against every Pole living in the region at the time.

Should Ukraine officially recognise the Volhynia massacre as genocide?
