Belgian airspace reopens after closure forced PM Fico's flight to return to Slovakia
BRUSSELS — Belgian airspace has reopened after a technical issue with the air traffic controllers' Skeyes computer system forced its closure for just over an hour.Flights were unable to take off or land at any of the country's main airports but a Skeyes spokesperson said a system reboot meant flights were gradually returning to normal."Due to a technical problem with the air traffic controller, air traffic in Belgium was temporarily suspended this afternoon after 12pm and is now slowly being resumed," said Brussels Airport spokesperson, Ihsane Chioua Lekhli."So the impact for us was that some flights were delayed, from 20 minutes to one hour and two flights were diverted to Lille airport. We'll inform our passengers and now the situation is gradually...

EU gives Denmark 'full support' against Trump's threats, says European Council president
BRUSSELS — The European Union gives "full support" to Denmark against Donald Trump's threat to take control of Greenland and stands ready to defend the principles of national sovereignty and territorial integrity as it did when Russia launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, António Costa told Euronews in a wide-ranging interview."It is these fundamental principles that lead us to support Ukraine.

AfD leaders were jubilant after the vote
Far-right vote on asylum rocks German parliament
BERLIN — Germany's parliament descended into heckles and recriminations on Wednesday after a "firewall" against working with the far-right cracked.A non-binding motion calling for tougher border and asylum rules passed with support from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). During the stormy session, politicians of various parties hurled criticism and blame at each other.Conservative CDU leader Friedrich Merz, who tabled the plans, defended his actions as "necessary". But Chancellor Olaf Scholz slammed the move as an "unforgivable mistake".Merz now plans to propose actual legislation on Friday – again with possible AfD backing – aimed at curbing immigration numbers and family reunion rights.But his proposed measures are highly unlikely to come...

Georgia's FM says EU decision to suspend visa-free travel is 'politically wrong'
TBILISI — Georgia has reacted angrily to the suspension of a mutual visa-free travel agreement by the European Union.The development may lead to Georgian diplomats and officials having to apply for visas when traveling to an EU member state.Speaking to Euronews a day after the announcement of the suspension, Georgian foreign minister Maka Botochorishvili called the decision “politically wrong.”“Legally, it is absolutely groundless and nonsense. There is no proof or explanation how Georgian diplomats are creating threats or threatening public order in the European Union or EU member states,” she said.“I just think that it is absolutely against European values or something that we refer to very often, and that is very unfortunate.”The decision by the European Council came in...

Putin says Russia is open to negotiations with Ukraine but accuses Kyiv of being uncooperative
MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin says Russia is ready to negotiate with Ukraine but claims there isn't any 'desire' on the Ukrainian side to solve legal issues.“If there is a desire to negotiate and find a compromise solution, let anyone conduct these negotiations,” Putin said.“But from the point of view of signing the documents, here, of course, everything must be such that lawyers confirm the legitimacy of those people who will be authorised by the Ukrainian state to sign these agreements.”The Russian President added that Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, is "not legitimate" to lead these talks."You can negotiate with anyone, but because he is illegitimate, he has no right to sign anything.

In a split second, Russia wipes out three generations of a Ukrainian family
ZAPORIZHZHIA — Teddy bears – large and small — are clustered around the grave of Adam Buhayov as if keeping him company.But the 17-month-old is not alone. His mother Sophiia Buhayova, 27, is buried in the grave with him, in a bleak and windswept cemetery in Ukraine's southern city of Zaporizhzhia.Adam's great-grandmother, Tetiana Tarasevych, 68, is in the grave right beside them.All three were killed together on 7 November last year by a Russian attack in a war that has devoured Ukraine since 2022 – but which no longer dominates the international agenda.Some of Adam's last moments were captured by Tetiana in a video on her phone. The two of them were out on a walk with Adam's mum Sophiia. Blond-haired, blue-eyed Adam wears a red anorak and a woollen hat, with a...
