[ad_1] Alberto Rizzi, Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, sheds light on the shifting European political calculus surrounding the long-awaited EU-Mercosur trade agreement. Italy’s recent pivot in favor of the deal reveals a strategic weighing of national economic benefits over protecting Italian farmers. Rizzi offers a nuanced view, cautioning against viewing this as a monolithic threat or panacea.

[ad_1] Auch für 2025 will ich nicht mit der Tradition brechen, am Jahresende einmal auf die Beliebtheit bestimmter Laufschuhmodelle und Laufschumarken des Jahres in Deutschland zu schauen. Nach 2021, 2022, 2023 und 2024 ist das inzwischen schon die fünfte Ausgabe dieses Laufschuhjahresrückblicks, an dem sich sehr schön die Trends im Laufsport, vor allem aber im Laufschuhmarketing ablesen lassen. Da weder Laufshops noch Laufmarken ihre Verkaufszahlen veröffentlichen, greife ich wie immer auf die durchschnittliche monatliche Anzahl der Suchanfragen bei Google zurück. Natürlich kann auch die Suchhäufigkeit durch Marketingkampagnen, Fernsehspots oder Lauf-Influencer beeinflusst werden. Trotzdem finde ich diese Messgröße immer noch am…

[ad_1] Politics / January 9, 2026 The Trump administration is once more invoking upside-down alibis of state to conjure the bogus specter of imminent threat. Ad Policy A sign in Minneapolis commemorates the killing of Renee Good. (Mostafa Bassim/Anadolu via Getty Images) There was the one in Ferguson. The one in Minnesota where the licensed gun owner was not reaching for his gun. The one shot in the back for the brake light. The one with the knee on the neck. The one with the “loosies.” We informally title each law enforcement killing of a citizen like it’s a Friends…

[ad_1] The war in Ukraine has not only reshaped borders on the ground but also transformed the airspace above Europe, forcing NATO’s European allies to redefine aerial security by patrolling a tense new frontier over the Black Sea in what is described as a “policing of the sky” mission aimed at upholding international law and signaling the Alliance’s readiness to respond to any provocation; several times a year, the French Air Force leads these high-risk operations over Romanian waters, to which our reporters Pauline Godart and Olivia Bizot were granted exclusive access.
