Il ricorso, depositato dall'avvocato Alessio Pomponi, è stato proposto dopo la decisione della Corte di Cassazione del 6 luglio di quest'anno che ha confermato la cessazione della semilibertà in seguito al nuovo titolo esecutivo con isolamento diurno e il conseguente rientro in carcere. Cavallini è in carcere dal 1983 e il 23 marzo 2017 gli era stata…

Entro 48 ore la Penisola sarà interessata dal passaggio del primo sistema perturbato della nuova stagione Oggi, mercoledì 23 settembre, ricorre l'Equinozio d'Autunno: il momento astronomico in cui il Sole si trova allo zenit sull'equatore terrestre, determinando la pari durata tra le ore di luce e quelle di buio su tutto il pianeta.

L'episodio nel comune veneto di Cadoneghe. Il primo cittadino: "Facevo domande in italiano, non sapeva rispondere" Una donna non capisce l'italiano e il sindaco 'congela' l'acquisizione della cittadinanza. Succede a Cadoneghe, comune veneto di circa 15mila abitanti. E' il sindaco Marco Schiesaro, con un post su Facebook, a spiegare l'episodio. "Come accade periodicamente, in Comune ho incontrato diversi nuovi cittadini per il giuramento previsto al termine del percorso per l’acquisizione della cittadinanza italiana. È sempre un momento importante. Diventare cittadini italiani significa entrare pienamente a far parte della nostra comunità, acquisendo diritti ma anche assumendosi doveri e…

Il giovane tecnico era al lavoro sull'illuminazione dell'Anfiteatro Flavio e sarebbe caduto da una decina di metri. Ministro Giuli: "Siamo sgomenti e storditi" Un operaio specializzato di 22 anni, Andrea Moretti, è morto la scorsa notte in un incidente sul lavoro all'interno del Colosseo. Il giovane tecnico, operaio specializzato per lavori in fune in quota, era al lavoro sull'illuminazione dell'Anfiteatro Flavio e sarebbe caduto da una decina di metri. Subito accorsi gli addetti del 118, ma nonostante i tentativi di rianimarlo, il giovane è deceduto. Dopo l'incidente - sul quale indagano i carabinieri e la magistratura - il ministro Alessandro Giuli si è subito recato sul posto. In segno…

Tre tentativi falliti nelle ultime ore, sette in totale da quando la leader dell'opposizione venezuelana ha lasciato il Paese in segreto nove mesi fa per ricevere il Premio Nobel per la Pace a Oslo La leader dell'opposizione venezuelana, Maria Corina Machado, ha tentato per tre volte nelle ultime ore di rientrare nel Paese – via mare e via aerea – senza successo. Lo hanno riferito i suoi collaboratori, mentre la presidente ad interim Delcy Rodríguez incontrava a New York il presidente statunitense Donald Trump. Secondo un consigliere di Machado, che si trova in esilio a Panama, si tratta dell'ultimo di sette tentativi falliti di rientrare in Venezuela da quando ha lasciato il Paese in…

La polizia di Stato di Bologna ha operato, in rogatoria, in collaborazione con le autorità inglesi La polizia di Stato di Bologna, su delega della Procura della Repubblica, ha operato, in rogatoria, in collaborazione con le autorità inglesi alla esecuzione di ordinanze di misure cautelari, perquisizioni e sequestri in tutta Europa: Italia, Spagna, Gran Bretagna, Austria. A Bologna, in particolare, si è data esecuzione a un mandato di arresto e a quattro perquisizioni delegate. L’attività di indagine, supportata da Europol, ha documentato l’esistenza di un meccanismo illegale finalizzato a consentire l’ingresso illegale, in Gran Bretagna, di persone non aventi titolo.

La Nec, però, può diventare una trappola perché funziona diversamente a seconda se a chiederla è un 'peccatore', cioè un Paese che è in procedura, oppure un 'virtuoso', un Paese che ha un deficit inferiore al 3% L'arbitro alla fine ha fischiato il rigore, ma non nell'area in cui sperava Roma. L'Istat ieri ha certificato che il deficit/Pil dell'Italia nel 2025 si è attestato al 3,1%, quindi sopra il 3% del Pil, come nei dati comunicati prima dell'estate. Di conseguenza, l'Italia resta nel braccio correttivo del patto di stabilità, cioè nella procedura per deficit eccessivo (Edp), almeno fino alla prossima primavera/estate. Il nostro Paese sarebbe potuto uscire in anticipo dalla procedura in…

La premier spiega le ragioni del provvedimento: "Creare classi più equilibrate serve a impedire che un ragazzo straniero possa sentirsi nel ghetto". Poi le parole sul Capo dello Stato e la protesta delle opposizioni. Assist, invece, da Vannacci "Il presidente della Repubblica, quando era ministro dell'Istruzione, redigeva circolari che più o meno invitavano a non concentrare i ragazzi stranieri nella stessa classe, ma perché è una misura di buon senso e che quindi mi pare che sia giusto portarla avanti". Giorgia Meloni passa all'attacco. E lo fa contro il presidente della Repubblica, Sergio Mattarella, che lunedì scorso, nel suo intervento all'inaugurazione dell'anno scolastico ad Amatrice…

La sfida finale per Meloni si svolgerà al Colle.

L'ex ministro: "Non possiamo accettare questa oppressione, è una minaccia all’identità nazionale" Gennaro Sangiuliano, ex ministro della Cultura e attuale capogruppo di Fdi in Regione Campania, ha postato sui social una foto che ritrae una donna che indossa un niqab nel centro di Napoli, con il volto totalmente coperto. "Ecco il pericolo islamizzazione", è il commento che accompagna la foto. "Questa foto - scrive ancora Sangiuliano - è stata scattata ieri in via Porta Nolana nel centro di Napoli, a poca distanza dall’Università Federico II, simbolo della nostra storia. Non possiamo accettare questa oppressione, è una minaccia all’identità nazionale".

L'ex deputato torna a parlare in pubblico a DiMartedì: "Ogni giorno mi sento meglio, oggi mi sento meglio di ieri e domani starò meglio di oggi" Alessandro Di Battista, in un videocollegamento con DiMartedì su La7, torna a parlare in pubblico dopo il malore avuto a Cuba. "Mi sarebbe piaciuto essere lì già da questa sera, ma forse è un po' presto. Comunque spiega - tornerò prestissimo, anche perché mi va di raccontare quello che mi è accaduto e anche quello che sta accadendo a Cuba". "Sfruttare spazi mediatici che mi sono gentilmente concessi, la libertà che Giovanni (Floris) mi ha sempre concesso per fare denunce, fa parte - continua - della mia vita, e quindi raccontare quello che sta…

“Minerva – La Scuola”, teen drama di Ivan Silvestrini targato Netflix con produzione Picomedia, porta lo spettatore dentro un liceo militare di Napoli, tra sveglia all’alba, divise obbligatorie, cellulari vietati e materie insolite come tattica militare e scherma. Al centro della trama tre allievi, Salvo, Vincenzo e Camilla, le cui storie personali si intrecciano con le tensioni del corpo docente e degli ufficiali dell’istituto. Abbiamo incontrato i tre protagonisti Ciro Minopoli, Biagio Venditti e Margherita Buoncristiani. Nel cast anche Massimiliano Gallo, Cristiana Capotondi, Irene Maiorino, Raiz e Luigi Bruno. Per affrontare le prove fisiche della serie vi siete allenati, oppure essendo…

“Quando ti rivedrò” è il titolo de l’ultimo brano inedito di Gino Paoli, che avrebbe dovuto cantare con Ornella Vanoni. Una occasione speciale per celebrare sia il compleanno dell’artista milanese è nata il 22 settembre che quello del cantautore genovese il 23 settembre. Nella canzne ci sono i fiati di Paolo Fresu. L’inedito è contenuto all’interno della nuova edizione di “Appunti di un lungo viaggio”, la raccolta di Gino Paoli e parte del catalogo Sugar. L’acclamato trombettista jazz non è stato scelto a caso perché, in realtà, una parte di “Quando ti rivedrò” doveva essere interpretata da Ornella Vanoni. “Un giorno mi ha chiamato il maestro Adriano Pennino – ha raccontato la moglie…

Per anni Porsche è stata una grande fonte di redditività per il gruppo Volkswagen. Margini elevati, forte presenza in Cina e una clientela disposta a pagare prezzi elevati avevano trasformato il marchio di Zuffenhausen in una macchina da utili. Una cassaforte vera e propria. Oggi non è più così, perché nel tempo quella posizione di forza si è indebolita, fino ad avere riflessi diretti sui conti della casa madre. Come spiega la Reuters, Volkswagen ha appena svalutato di 6 miliardi di euro la propria partecipazione del 75% in Porsche, dopo i 2,7 miliardi già cancellati nel 2025. Il valore iscritto a bilancio è sceso a circa 10 miliardi di euro: quando Porsche venne quotata in Borsa, ovvero…

Novak Djokovic ‘spia’ gli allenamenti di Jannik Sinner. Il tennista serbo, eliminato al primo turno degli US Open, sta preparando l’ultima parte di stagione e, per farlo, si ispira agli allenamenti dell’azzurro, ancora alle prese con l’infortunio al ginocchio che lo ha costretto a saltare lo Slam americano. A rivelarlo è stato il fisioterapista di Djokovic, Carlos Costa: “Non ho visto mai niente di simile a Novak Djokovic. Presta attenzione a ogni dettaglio come al tempo che ci mettiamo per dargli l’asciugamano… se c’è qualcosa che non è previsto, si crea attrito“, ha detto ad A Bola. “Arriva persino a creare dei test all’interno del team per scoprire se stiamo davvero cercando le migliori…

La Formula 1 del futuro vuole andare sempre più veloce. Nel 2027 i Gran Premi saranno più corti, il programma dei weekend più flessibile e le gare interrotte dalla pioggia potranno avere più margine per ripartire. Ma, soprattutto, il campionato continua a cambiare pelle: meno tempo da dedicare alla corsa, più spazio allo spettacolo, ai social, al cinema e a un pubblico giovane che si avvicina al Circus anche senza avere necessariamente una cultura sportiva legata ai motori. Lo ha deciso la Commissione Formula 1, riunitasi lunedì 21 settembre a Londra, approvando una serie di modifiche regolamentari per il prossimo campionato che dovranno ora essere sottoposte all’approvazione formale del…

Un percorso finora netto e l’Italia non vuole fermarsi. Agli Europei di pallavolo, la nazionale di Fefè De Giorgi si presenta ai quarti da imbattuta: oggi a Torino contro la Finlandia, dopo sei vittorie in altrettante gare, Giannelli e compagni vanno a caccia della settima che vale l’accesso alle semifinali di Milano. “Un Europeo molto positivo fin qui, adesso cerchiamo di fare un passo in avanti, sia per ottenere un’altra vittoria, sia dal punto di vista del gioco – le parole di Yuri Romanò -. Con la Finlandia sarà dura, loro sono una buonissima squadra, hanno fatto un grande Mondiale l’anno scorso e stanno disputando ora un bell’Europeo“. L’Italia scenderà in campo a Torino dopo la fase a…

di Riccardo Bellardini Oh sublime Ministro Tajani, sono stato proprio uno sciocco a cercare di intercettare la sua attenzione! Lei è troppo impegnato a lanciare arditi consigli alla platea maschile per occuparsi di infime quisquilie, quali i deliri solitari di uno come me, che un anno fa aveva osato chiederle di esporsi per la sua terra d’origine, la Ciociaria, venduta senza ritegno gli interessi del gran riarmo europeo e abbandonata ad un destino d’insicurezza e disagio a più livelli, col fianco della provincia squarciato da un boato lo scorso agosto nello stabilimento Ex Simmel difesa di Colleferro e le criticità usualmente nascoste sotto il tappeto tornate con prepotenza alla ribalta…

Andiamo alla scoperta di Diamanda Galás. Un nome che al grande pubblico probabilmente dirà poco: i salotti buoni della musica rock non li ha mai frequentati. Ha scelto un territorio dove convivono avanguardia, blues, jazz, poesia, tragedia greca, dolore e morte, tenuti insieme da una voce che definire semplicemente “voce” sembra riduttivo. È una delle figure più radicali e riconoscibili della musica contemporanea, accompagnata da un’iconografia potentissima che qualche volta ha finito per precedere persino la sua musica e nascondere la persona. Ma chi è davvero Diamanda Galás? A dieci anni dall’ultima apparizione italiana, l’artista greco-americana torna per tre concerti: il 23 settembre a…

Prima o poi anche il cosiddetto campo largo dovrà smettere di occuparsi soltanto di formule, candidature e percentuali e rispondere a una domanda molto più seria: da quale parte vuole stare l’Italia? Perché dopo le ultime dichiarazioni di Giuseppe Conte sull’Ucraina non siamo più davanti alla solita divergenza interna a una coalizione. Il Movimento 5 Stelle ha scelto una linea precisa: stop all’invio delle armi a Kiev, no al riarmo europeo e no all’aumento delle spese per la difesa. Il 91,7 per cento degli iscritti che hanno partecipato alla consultazione di Nova ha approvato il primo punto e Conte ha chiarito che quel mandato non sarà diluito. Non è quindi una sfumatura. È politica estera.…

- Published At least 11 people have been killed in a mass shooting in a residential building near the South African city of Durban. Gunmen stormed a house in the KwaMakhutha township late on Tuesday and opened fire on 14 people. Ten were killed at the scene and four were taken to hospital, where one later died from their injuries, police said. Police said some of the victims were on their watch in connection with illegal activities, which they could not "divulge at the moment to protect investigations which have been launched". While the motive of the shooting has not yet confirmed, the police said they could not rule out a "feud between rival groupings". "Information available at this…

- Published Top Iranian and US officials have held talks at the UN in New York on a day when the US leader said he could "annihilate" the Islamic Republic if the conflict went unresolved. No breakthrough has been reported from the meeting mediated by Qatar and involving Iran's foreign minister and US President Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff - the first since a June ceasefire unravelled. Witkoff said a round of discussions had been completed "that we hope will prove constructive and promising". Iran repeated its demand for the US to end its "acts of aggression". The US and Israel launched air strikes on Iran on 28 February. Iran responded by attacking Israel and US bases in the Gulf and…

Watch: Key moments from Andy Burnham's first UN speech The UK prime minister gave his first address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday. In his speech, Burnham highlighted the risks posed by Russian disinformation and announced new measures for global AI standards.

World shows hints of bucking Trump at the UN There were subtle indications among the world’s leaders that while Trump must still be reckoned with, some are going their own way. President Donald Trump was again the center of attention at the United Nations on Tuesday, as world leaders scrambled to stay in his good graces. But behind the headlines, there was an undercurrent of discontent — and even defiance — from some leaders who are seemingly preparing for a life after the U.S.-led order. After Trump threatened to “annihilate” elements of Iran, some allies sounded the alarm. “I was worried when I heard a leader of a great power saying that he is considering annihilating a country. I mean…

Watch: Threats, deals and passionate speeches at UNGA event The United Nations General Assembly event is underway in New York, with delegations from around the world meeting to give speeches and hold meetings. Key moments included US President Donald Trump's threat to "annihilate Iran", the UK's new prime minister Andy Burnham meeting some world leaders for the first time, and a farewell speech from UN Secretary General António Guterres.

Chinese president arrives in US with new energy leverage as war rattles global markets The Iran war has boosted China’s clean energy exports and strengthened its leverage in global energy markets, giving China little incentive to yield to President Donald Trump’s demands. President Donald Trump plans to press Chinese President Xi Jinping on his energy posture with Iran when the leaders meet Wednesday in Washington. But there’s little reason for China to yield — especially since the war has helped strengthen its hand as an emerging global energy superpower. The war in Iran has spiked global prices for energy and other commodities and created a political albatross around the neck of both…

Trump Threatens to ‘Annihilate’ Iran in U.N. Speech Such warnings—on the U.N. stage, no less—could be considered war crimes. Welcome back to World Brief, where we’re looking at U.S. President Donald Trump’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly, an expanded U.S. military presence in Greenland, and the European Union’s initial free-trade deal with the Philippines. War Crimes at the U.N.? U.S. President Donald Trump presented a damning choice during his United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) speech on Tuesday: Make a deal with Iran that “lets them rebuild” or “annihilate” the Islamic Republic. “Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or…

Rare look at the remote engine rooms powering China's AI ambitions The BBC's Laura Bicker is in Inner Mongolia where dozens of Chinese data centres are being built, as the country aims to lead the world in artificial intelligence.

- Published Disillusioned young voters in Morocco were courted with viral football slogans, promises of one million jobs and anti-Israel rallying calls ahead of Wednesday's parliamentary elections. Yet, for many young Moroccans, politics remains deeply disconnected from reality. "I have no hope for this election. I'm ashamed of our political scene. It's a complete circus," Siham Azeroual, 32, an environmental activist who lives in the Atlas region, tells the BBC. The outcome of the vote will decide the make-up of the next government, just weeks after 60,000 people risked their lives to cross from the North African country to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta - a sign of the lack of opportunities…

- Published Sri Lanka's High Court has given long jail sentences to 15 men charged with plotting the 2019 Easter Sunday bomb attacks that killed 270 people and injured more than 500. Those found guilty include Naufer Moulavi, who prosecutors said masterminded the suicide bombings. Nine other men were acquitted. The co-ordinated blasts at three churches and three luxury hotels were the deadliest in Sri Lanka since the end of its civil war in 2009. Forty-five foreigners were among the dead. All the bombers who carried out the attacks died in the blasts. Investigators have previously blamed the bombings on Islamist extremists, and the 25 men indicted were from Sri Lanka's Muslim minority. One…

- Published When Donald Trump unveiled a helipad at the White House on Monday, his remarks were barely audible in live footage of the event. This was due to a row over an institution that rarely makes the news – the White House Press pool. Yet it is at the heart of relations between the US president and the media, and this dispute could have constitutional implications, as well as potentially affecting coverage of the future presidential engagements. Tensions are high. During Trump's visit to the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, he lashed out at a reporter from CNN - one of the media outlets he has come into conflict with. What is the White House press pool? It is a group of news…

Burnham 'gets it' says Trump, as the two leaders meet for first time Andy Burnham and Donald Trump have been speaking to reporters at their first face-to-face meeting in New York. The US president said he could do business with the UK prime minister, but criticised the "terrible" Chagos deal.

- Published The European Union is to remove sanctions on two oligarchs imposed after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, according to reports, prompting anger in Ukraine. France had campaigned for Russian-Uzbek billionaire Alisher Usmanov to be taken off the list, citing "national security concerns". Luxembourg called for the removal of Russian-Israeli businessman Mikhail Fridman, who is suing the country for the release of frozen assets. Latvia initially opposed the deal but agreed to a compromise, part of which involved extending sanctions on nearly 3,000 other individuals and entities for three years. Ukrainian officials said the move was "unacceptable" and sent the wrong…

- Published A female cyclist from Afghanistan who previously disguised herself as a man when chasing a career in the sport has won a silver medal at the Asian Games. Fariba Hashimi fled her country after the Taliban returned to power in 2021. She says she trained in disguise out of necessity before then in an effort to avoid being attacked, in a country where women's rights are heavily restricted. She earned her medal in the women's road race near Nagoya in Japan on Tuesday. The 23-year-old's achievement follows her seventh-place finish in the women's individual time trial on Sunday. Describing her medal as "something special", Hashimi hopes it can inspire other women in Afghanistan to…

- Published One of South Africa's highest ranking police officers has been charged with sexual offences at a brief appearance at a court north-west of Johannesburg. The charges relate to allegations that Lt Gen Shadrack Sibiya sexually groomed a 16-year-old girl and raped an 18-year-old woman. He is also facing a charge of trafficking, which could mean that others may be arrested in relation to this case. The suspended deputy police commissioner, who was detained on Monday, has made no comment. The 59-year-old is due to appear in court again on 29 September for a bail application. Prosecutors are expected to oppose bail. The state has also requested that the court change the prison where…

Trump cites national security, midterms coverage to defend press ban The president’s lawyers are asking the courts to overrule a longstanding precedent that protects journalists' access to the White House. President Donald Trump is asking federal courts to let him pick and choose which media outlets get White House access and launching a legal drive to overturn a decades-old precedent that provides broad protections for journalists who work in the West Wing. In a court filing Tuesday night, the Justice Department defended Trump’s decision to ban POLITICO, CNN and MS NOW from the White House, describing it as a move rooted in the outlets’ publication of sensitive information. “The President…

Firm behind Trump social accounts sues ex-partner alleging he embezzled millions X Strategies, the firm co-founded by Alex Bruesewitz, filed the lawsuit on Monday against Bruesewitz's longtime business partner Derek Utley, according to public documents. The political consulting firm that runs several of President Donald Trump’s top social media accounts is suing one of its co-founders, accusing him of embezzling and gambling away millions of dollars, including spending company funds on luxury sports cars, designer clothing and first-class travel. X Strategies, the firm co-founded and led by Alex Bruesewitz, the Gen Z wunderkind behind much of Trump’s social media strategy, filed the lawsuit…

Gas prices are displayed at a gas station, in Streamwood, Ill., Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2026. | Nam Y. Huh/AP Jonathan Martin is POLITICO’s senior political columnist and politics bureau chief. He’s covered elections in every corner of America and co-authored a best-selling book about Donald Trump and Joe Biden. His reported column chronicles the inside conversations and major trends shaping U.S. politics. Republican polling has so deteriorated this month that the only uncertainty remaining ahead of the midterms is the depth of the party’s losses. With early or mail ballot voting beginning in nearly half the country this week, that question will mainly be determined by which money matters…

Malaysia’s Top Crook Gets Leniency Reformers who had pinned hope on Anwar to clean things up are enraged. Welcome to Foreign Policy’s Southeast Asia Brief. The highlights this week: Malaysia’s Najib Razak is granted clemency by the king for a second time; the global fuel crisis puts regional airline AirAsia on the brink; and plans by Taiwan to open a new representative’s office in Cebu have created a stir.

A Tale of Two UNGA Speeches U.S. President Donald Trump made threats, while outgoing U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres called for peace and multilateralism. Welcome back to Foreign Policy’s Situation Report, on the ground for Day 2 of UNGA. Here’s what’s on tap for the day: Trump’s speech, Guterres’s swan song, and Zelensky’s press conference. Trump Threats U.S. President Donald Trump used his speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday to dial up the pressure on Iran, threatening to “annihilate” the country if it does not make a deal with the United States to end the war. Welcome back to Foreign Policy’s Situation Report, on the ground for Day 2 of UNGA. Here’s what’s on…

Trump Threatens to ‘Annihilate’ Iran in U.N. Speech Such warnings—on the U.N. stage, no less—could be considered war crimes. Welcome back to World Brief, where we’re looking at U.S. President Donald Trump’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly, an expanded U.S. military presence in Greenland, and the European Union’s initial free-trade deal with the Philippines. War Crimes at the U.N.? U.S. President Donald Trump presented a damning choice during his United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) speech on Tuesday: Make a deal with Iran that “lets them rebuild” or “annihilate” the Islamic Republic. “Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or…

Xi Comes to Washington Armed With a Rare-Earth Card Trump still doesn’t have an answer to China’s leverage. When Chinese President Xi Jinping meets with U.S. President Donald Trump this week for a high-stakes summit, he’ll be armed with a powerful card: rare earths. Rare earths have loomed over the U.S.-China relationship since at least April 2025, after Trump unveiled punishing tariffs against much of the world. China retaliated in part by unleashing its own rare-earth trade restrictions, laying the groundwork for several rounds of negotiations and other trade escalations before both sides agreed to a one-year trade truce that expires in November. When Chinese President Xi Jinping meets…

The West Is Sending Russia the Wrong Signals Europe’s fear of escalation is encouraging Putin. Over four years after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s disastrous full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the West is still sending mixed messages to the Kremlin. Many Western leaders talk tough, arm Ukraine, impose sanctions, and warn Moscow against further aggression. Yet while Russia continues to immiserate Ukraine and Putin carries out an increasingly reckless campaign of provocations on NATO territory, those same governments—still struggling to wean themselves off of Russian oil and gas—often seem more worried about whether their response might be considered escalatory than about Russia’s own…

Don’t Expect Fireworks From the Trump-Xi Summit Trade, minerals, and AI are on the agenda, but breakthroughs are unlikely. Welcome to Foreign Policy’s China Brief. The highlights this week: Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump prepare to meet in Washington, purged Chinese military leaders are officially expelled, and the United States dismantles some of its top China-focused think tanks.

How AI Fits Into Humanity’s Troubling History Like nuclear weapons, AI was born of human ingenuity. But its challenges are unique. For anyone who has been paying attention to the news for the last week or so, with its saturated coverage of the dystopian powers of artificial intelligence, it would be easy to succumb to the conclusion that we are all doomed. Despite the fact that the coverage has been more heat than light, this take might actually be right. But that is not necessarily because AI will end up wiping out our species. Rather, it is because of something deeper and far more impervious to regulation: human nature itself. For anyone who has been paying attention to the news for the…

How Canada Is Navigating Trump’s Threats A conversation with Foreign Minister Anita Anand. U.S. President Donald Trump has upended relations with several traditional allies but none perhaps more so than Canada, the world’s 11th-largest economy and a country with which the United States shares the planet’s longest land border. Trump has repeatedly referred to Canada as the “51st state”—an unsubtle threat to absorb its territory; he has imposed sanctions on Ottawa, harming its companies and consumers; and he has driven Canada to look to Europe and elsewhere for stable trade and defense partnerships. On the sidelines of this week’s U.N. General Assembly, I caught up with Anita Anand, Canada’s…

‘Scorpions in a Bottle’: What the U.N. Can Do About AI Safety A conversation with the multilateral institution’s top tech envoy. As leaders and diplomats from around 130 countries gather in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) high-level week, one of the biggest topics of discussion is the risk posed by artificial intelligence and the U.N.’s role in mitigating that risk. The summit comes amid troubling instances in recent months of rogue AI models hacking companies and AI executives warning that they need more guardrails around a technology they worry they can no longer contain. Amandeep Singh Gill has spent years thinking about these issues in his role as the U.N.…

- Published At least 11 people have been killed in a mass shooting in a residential building near the South African city of Durban. Gunmen stormed a house in the KwaMakhutha township late on Tuesday and opened fire on 14 people. Ten were killed at the scene and four were taken to hospital, where one later died from their injuries, police said. Police said some of the victims were on their watch in connection with illegal activities, which they could not "divulge at the moment to protect investigations which have been launched". While the motive of the shooting has not yet confirmed, the police said they could not rule out a "feud between rival groupings". "Information available at this…

- Published Top Iranian and US officials have held talks at the UN in New York on a day when the US leader said he could "annihilate" the Islamic Republic if the conflict went unresolved. No breakthrough has been reported from the meeting mediated by Qatar and involving Iran's foreign minister and US President Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff - the first since a June ceasefire unravelled. Witkoff said a round of discussions had been completed "that we hope will prove constructive and promising". Iran repeated its demand for the US to end its "acts of aggression". The US and Israel launched air strikes on Iran on 28 February. Iran responded by attacking Israel and US bases in the Gulf and…

Watch: Key moments from Andy Burnham's first UN speech The UK prime minister gave his first address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday. In his speech, Burnham highlighted the risks posed by Russian disinformation and announced new measures for global AI standards.

Watch: Threats, deals and passionate speeches at UNGA event The United Nations General Assembly event is underway in New York, with delegations from around the world meeting to give speeches and hold meetings. Key moments included US President Donald Trump's threat to "annihilate Iran", the UK's new prime minister Andy Burnham meeting some world leaders for the first time, and a farewell speech from UN Secretary General António Guterres.

Rare look at the remote engine rooms powering China's AI ambitions The BBC's Laura Bicker is in Inner Mongolia where dozens of Chinese data centres are being built, as the country aims to lead the world in artificial intelligence. She explains how attitudes differ between people in China and the US when it comes to the data centre industry, ahead of leaders Xi Jinping and Donald Trump's meeting in Washington later this week.

- Published Disillusioned young voters in Morocco were courted with viral football slogans, promises of one million jobs and anti-Israel rallying calls ahead of Wednesday's parliamentary elections. Yet, for many young Moroccans, politics remains deeply disconnected from reality. "I have no hope for this election. I'm ashamed of our political scene. It's a complete circus," Siham Azeroual, 32, an environmental activist who lives in the Atlas region, tells the BBC. The outcome of the vote will decide the make-up of the next government, just weeks after 60,000 people risked their lives to cross from the North African country to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta - a sign of the lack of opportunities…

- Published Sri Lanka's High Court has given long jail sentences to 15 men charged with plotting the 2019 Easter Sunday bomb attacks that killed 270 people and injured more than 500. Those found guilty include Naufer Moulavi, who prosecutors said masterminded the suicide bombings. Nine other men were acquitted. The co-ordinated blasts at three churches and three luxury hotels were the deadliest in Sri Lanka since the end of its civil war in 2009. Forty-five foreigners were among the dead. All the bombers who carried out the attacks died in the blasts. Investigators have previously blamed the bombings on Islamist extremists, and the 25 men indicted were from Sri Lanka's Muslim minority. One…

- Published When Donald Trump unveiled a helipad at the White House on Monday, his remarks were barely audible in live footage of the event. This was due to a row over an institution that rarely makes the news – the White House Press pool. Yet it is at the heart of relations between the US president and the media, and this dispute could have constitutional implications, as well as potentially affecting coverage of the future presidential engagements. Tensions are high. During Trump's visit to the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, he lashed out at a reporter from CNN - one of the media outlets he has come into conflict with. What is the White House press pool? It is a group of news…

Burnham 'gets it' says Trump, as the two leaders meet for first time Andy Burnham and Donald Trump have been speaking to reporters at their first face-to-face meeting in New York. The US president said he could do business with the UK prime minister, but criticised the "terrible" Chagos deal.

- Published The European Union is to remove sanctions on two oligarchs imposed after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, according to reports, prompting anger in Ukraine. France had campaigned for Russian-Uzbek billionaire Alisher Usmanov to be taken off the list, citing "national security concerns". Luxembourg called for the removal of Russian-Israeli businessman Mikhail Fridman, who is suing the country for the release of frozen assets. Latvia initially opposed the deal but agreed to a compromise, part of which involved extending sanctions on nearly 3,000 other individuals and entities for three years. Ukrainian officials said the move was "unacceptable" and sent the wrong…

- Published A female cyclist from Afghanistan who previously disguised herself as a man when chasing a career in the sport has won a silver medal at the Asian Games. Fariba Hashimi fled her country after the Taliban returned to power in 2021. She says she trained in disguise out of necessity before then in an effort to avoid being attacked, in a country where women's rights are heavily restricted. She earned her medal in the women's road race near Nagoya in Japan on Tuesday. The 23-year-old's achievement follows her seventh-place finish in the women's individual time trial on Sunday. Describing her medal as "something special", Hashimi hopes it can inspire other women in Afghanistan to…

- Published One of South Africa's highest ranking police officers has been charged with sexual offences at a brief appearance at a court north-west of Johannesburg. The charges relate to allegations that Lt Gen Shadrack Sibiya sexually groomed a 16-year-old girl and raped an 18-year-old woman. He is also facing a charge of trafficking, which could mean that others may be arrested in relation to this case. The suspended deputy police commissioner, who was detained on Monday, has made no comment. The 59-year-old is due to appear in court again on 29 September for a bail application. Prosecutors are expected to oppose bail. The state has also requested that the court change the prison where…

Trump cites national security, midterms coverage to defend press ban The president’s lawyers are asking the courts to overrule a longstanding precedent that protects journalists' access to the White House.

World shows hints of bucking Trump at the UN There were subtle indications among the world’s leaders that while Trump must still be reckoned with, some are going their own way. President Donald Trump was again the center of attention at the United Nations on Tuesday, as world leaders scrambled to stay in his good graces. But behind the headlines, there was an undercurrent of discontent — and even defiance — from some leaders who are seemingly preparing for a life after the U.S.-led order. After Trump threatened to “annihilate” elements of Iran, some allies sounded the alarm. “I was worried when I heard a leader of a great power saying that he is considering annihilating a country. I mean…

Chinese president arrives in US with new energy leverage as war rattles global markets The Iran war has boosted China’s clean energy exports and strengthened its leverage in global energy markets, giving China little incentive to yield to President Donald Trump’s demands. President Donald Trump plans to press Chinese President Xi Jinping on his energy posture with Iran when the leaders meet Wednesday in Washington. But there’s little reason for China to yield — especially since the war has helped strengthen its hand as an emerging global energy superpower. The war in Iran has spiked global prices for energy and other commodities and created a political albatross around the neck of both…

Washington Should Embrace Space Warfare Space is already becoming militarized. The U.S. shouldn’t let adversaries take the lead. Earlier this month, U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled his vision for new “next generation” U.S. Space Force uniforms to critical reviews. Derek Guy, for example, the menswear guy on X, quipped, “This is the kind of design costume designers make to tell you who are the bad guys in a space movie.” The sartorial criticism, however, cloaks a deeper and much more important deliberation about the future of America’s space strategy. Earlier this month, U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled his vision for new “next generation” U.S. Space Force uniforms to critical…

Nike has been having a bit of a comeback—“comeback” might be generous, but the sentiment is there. In 2024, the sportswear giant faced restructuring challenges, accusations of sexism, and layoffs that exceeded two percent of its staff. After difficult years marked by falling sales, poor innovation, and strained retail partnerships, CEO John Donahoe resigned, and company veteran Elliott Hill returned in his place. Under Hill’s leadership, Nike is refocusing on its core market and working to repair relationships with retailers, athletes, and creatives. Despite these shortcomings, Nike remains one of the most popular brands worldwide. Having worked at a Nike outlet for a year, I can tell you…

I still remember my first pair of Ray-Bans: the Original Wayfarer Classics with polished black frames and green lenses. Then, in middle school, when Aviators were all the rage, I convinced my mom to buy me a pair with gold metal frames and orange flash polarized lenses. Looking back, it was a bold choice for a 13-year-old girl, but I wore them everywhere. By my freshman year of college, I had saved up for a pair of Round Metal sunglasses with rose gold frames and blue gradient lenses. They were the first sunglasses I ever bought with my own money, and more than a decade later, I still have them. Mind you, the lenses are covered in scratches, but I can’t bring myself to part with them. For…

Google Workspace is that ubiquitous modern business tool that almost feels invisible. We use it every day here at WIRED, whether that's for writing first drafts of articles in Docs, analyzing data in Sheets, or sharing files in Drive.

Google Workspace grants access to all kinds of productivity features that can help streamline processes and increase communication within a team or organization. It's not free, but here's the good news: If you're looking at a Workspace account for yourself (or for your team), Google is offering discounts until the end of 2026…

Uber began as a modern alternative to taxis, allowing riders to order conveniently from an app on their phones, follow the driver’s route in real time, share their location with contacts, and even split the fare through the app—it was the convenience-obsessed answer to the old way of hailing cabs. Then in 2014, Uber leveled up with Uber Eats. Much like Uber was the convenient, modern answer to taxis, Uber Eats was the equivalent for the world of food delivery. Instead of calling a local restaurant and enlisting a delivery driver from that restaurant, Uber Eats draws from hundreds of participating restaurants, cafes, and stores in your local area, tailoring deals and picks to your location…

I come from a car family, the kind that always had four or five vehicles in various states of “restoration.” Changing your own oil in my house was not only a rite of passage but a duty—proof that you were self-sufficient and economical, not, as my uncle would say, a “handy-man.” (“I open my wallet and hand over my credit card!” he’d roar.) Suffice it to say, I changed my own oil for most of my adult life until about eight years ago, when I bought my first new hybrid SUV. Opening the hood for the first time, I saw an arrangement of black plastic rectangles, not the discrete auto parts I recognized. I didn’t know how to change the oil, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to figure it out. I was (and…

Join War on the Rocks and gain access to content trusted by policymakers, military leaders, and strategic thinkers worldwide. Operation Inherent Resolve is scheduled to end on Sept. 30, as remaining U.S. troops in northern Iraq complete their withdrawal. The United States formed Combined Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve in October 2014 to bring together partners to combat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which had seized territory in parts of Iraq and Syria. The end of Operation Inherent Resolve highlights the success of coalition efforts against ISIL but also raises questions about future political stability and security in Iraq and Syria — and whether ISIL…

When Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping last sat down in May 2026, talk was centered on three Ts: trade, technology and Taiwan. Their next summit, due to begin in the United States on September 24, looks set to focus on the same set of issues again. The main difference will be that the technology element has been given added urgency by the sudden and rapid shift in developments in artificial intelligence. What’s less clear is whether the two sides will be able to come to any sort of transformative agreement on that, or any other issue. The most urgent issue, but also the simplest to solve, will be on trade. Nearly a year ago at Busan in South Korea, Trump and Xi hammered out an…

The world is once again in the midst of summit season. The conclusion of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan at the start of September was followed by the BRICS Summit in New Delhi, India last week. This week’s United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York is likely to be overshadowed by the summit between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump on September 24. And before the year’s end, the APEC Summit will also take place in China in November followed by the United States hosting the G20 Summit in December. Each of these summits offers a different vision of the international order. The SCO and BRICS both represent the…

Since July, China has begun conducting more regularized coast guard patrols in waters east of Taiwan. These operations are, of course, partly connected to recent maritime developments involving Japan and the Philippines. Yet a broader trend is also becoming increasingly visible: the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has stepped up both the scale and intensity of its activities in the airspace and waters east of Taiwan. In addition to continuing its joint combat readiness patrols across the Taiwan Strait median line and into Taiwan’s southwestern airspace, the PLA has noticeably increased reconnaissance and surveillance operations to Taiwan’s east and southeast. On September 5, the PLA deployed…

Last month, U.S. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that “I recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said, ‘No thanks!’” He has publicly called for Seoul’s participation in the U.S. war with Iran since March, and in this post, he explicitly expressed his dissatisfaction with South Korea’s refusal to participate. Trump also attached consequences: in the same post, he announced the scaling down of annual South Korea-U.S. joint military exercises and expressed a strong affinity with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Trump has continued to press Seoul on the Iran conflict. The South…

Every five years, the Australian Treasury releases its Intergenerational Report (IGR). The report is designed to look at the major structural changes and challenges the country faces to understand how Australia can best navigate the world in the coming decades. This week, the Treasury released its latest report. It argued that despite significant global changes, Australia remains relatively well placed to maintain its prosperity, but its major advantages cannot be taken for granted. The report highlighted five transitions that will shape the coming decades: artificial intelligence, geopolitical fragmentation, the energy transition, an aging population, and the transformation of Australia’s…

On September 12, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay titled “We Must Pace the Frontier,” arguing that the leading labs should deliberately slow how fast their models gain new capabilities. Within hours, his chief rivals lined up behind him: Sam Altman said OpenAI would match Anthropic’s commitment to host independent evaluators, and Elon Musk replied, “Dario is right.” Two days later, U.S. President Donald Trump called fears of an AI catastrophe a hoax and claimed that amid the backlash against AI and data centers, “the only one that is happy about it is China.” That exchange hangs over Xi Jinping’s arrival in Washington this week, the first state visit by a Chinese leader in more…

Post-Liberal Europe? Another victory for the far right in a German state election has confirmed European liberals' worst fears. With many critical European elections approaching in 2027, debates about the proper limits of popular sovereignty and other fundamental tenets of liberalism are now of paramount importance. PARIS—Coming just a couple weeks after the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) won the largest share of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt’s state election, the electoral results in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern confirm that Germany has entered the same cycle of hyper-political polarization already visible across much of Europe.

Germany’s Moment of Reckoning As its growth model runs out of road, Germany must decide whether to defend aging industries or enable new ones to emerge. To translate its research excellence into globally competitive companies, it needs deeper capital markets and a genuine European single market in which promising startups can grow. BERLIN—Germany’s economy in recent years has been battered by the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the resulting energy crisis, the erosion of German manufacturers’ competitiveness vis-à-vis China, and a sharp rise in inflation. Together, these shocks have compounded the challenges posed by climate change and demographic shifts, dampening…

The Middle Powers Are Now the “Free World” Europe, Canada, and the democracies of Africa, Asia, and Latin America now bear the burden of keeping the old American ideal of the free world alive. While the ideal was always a noble lie, it enabled hundreds of millions of people to imagine a better world during the Cold War, and it could do so again. VIENNA—Anyone old enough to remember the Cold War will also remember an imagined place called the “free world.” It was where Westerners believed they lived, while Eastern Europeans, Russians, and Chinese lived behind barbed wire.

Europe in a Multi-Aligned World As the Sino-American rivalry intensifies, Europe may be tempted to position itself as a third pole of geopolitics. But instead of defining its power in relation to a bipolarity that many countries are seeking to escape, the continent should focus on building a new architecture of interdependence in which it occupies a central role. PARIS—The Sino-American rivalry, often portrayed as a new cold war, has become the lens through which many view global power dynamics. But this narrow focus fails to account for those countries that refuse to choose between China and the United States.

“To the victor belong the spoils,” US President Donald Trump declared before the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday. Trump was talking about the massive oil deal the US struck with Venezuela this year following the ouster of strongman Nicolás Maduro. But the message – and the very Trumpian approach to geopolitics behind it – was clear: the winner takes all. It was a striking message to deliver at the world’s largest multilateral organization. Minutes earlier, UN Secretary-General António Guterres, whose term ends in December, had made the opposite case. “The greatest power is not the power to dominate,” Guterres said. “It is the power to build a future that works for everyone.” The…

Diesel shortages fuel Transatlantic panic Prices for diesel, an essential fuel for heavy-duty shipping and farming, are at record highs in the US and Europe, leaving leaders in both places scrambling for a solution. Donald Trump has blamed Ukraine for striking Russian diesel plants, although data show the US-led war in Iran has deleted more than twice as much of the global diesel supply. US Republicans are pressuring Trump to restrict diesel exports in order to ease inflation ahead of the midterms, a move that the US hasn’t taken in more than half a century. Doing so would cause global diesel prices to soar – so far the White House has refused. Across the Atlantic, meanwhile, French…

Chileans have long relished the low cost of the completo, one of the country’s widely enjoyed street foods. But with oil prices soaring due to the conflicts in Iran and Ukraine, consumer prices are rising across the board, creating a big challenge for Chile’s new right-wing president, José Antonio Kast. He took office in March with a hard-line security and anti-crime agenda, but may have to spend much of his time fighting inflation and unemployment instead.

I droni arrivano su Mosca, gli elettori ai seggi. Nei tre giorni delle elezioni parlamentari, dal 18 al 20 settembre, la capitale russa è stata obiettivo del più ampio attacco dall'inizio della guerra in Ucraina: oltre 1.600 droni intercettati dalla difesa aerea secondo il sindaco Sergey Sobjanin, un impianto in fiamme nella periferia sud-orientale di Kapotnja. Lo sfondo su cui i cittadini russi sono stati chiamati a votare è complesso: crisi del carburante, minacce di nuove restrizioni a internet, attacchi con droni e missili sulle infrastrutture civili in molte città della Russia europea.

Secondo un retroscena del New York Times il presidente degli Stati Uniti Trump avrebbe annullato all’ultimo momento un’offensiva aerea contro gli huthi, nonostante le ripetute richieste del principe ereditario saudita Mohammed bin Salman (MbS). Dopo una telefonata con MbS, Trump aveva ordinato al Pentagono di preparare gli attacchi per poi fare marcia indietro domenica, quando gli obiettivi erano già stati approvati e i soldati avevano iniziato a caricare gli ordigni sugli aerei da combattimento. La cerchia ristretta di Trump era in gran parte contraria al coinvolgimento degli Stati Uniti nel conflitto saudita, anche a causa del peso che la guerra con l’Iran sta esercitando sulle Forze…

Difficile trovare due uomini più diversi di Donald Trump e Xi Jinping. Il presidente degli Stati Uniti e quello cinese si incontrano in un momento in cui il mondo è destabilizzato dalle guerre, dal prezzo dell’energia fuori controllo e dalla scomparsa dell’idea stessa di una comunità internazionale. Purtroppo, oggi è evidente che non possiamo fare affidamento sui leader delle due principali potenze mondiali affinché affrontino i problemi globali che colpiscono miliardi di persone, perché Trump e Xi seguono esclusivamente agende autoreferenziale. Noi, ovvero il resto del mondo, non ne facciamo chiaramente parte. Il 22 settembre all’Onu Trump si è esibito nel suo abituale esercizio di…

Is Germany’s Firewall Collapsing? After achieving an historic victory in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt earlier this month, the far-right Alternative für Deutschland has just finished first in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, too. Do the results vindicate critics who argue that uniting to keep the AfD out of power is undemocratic and ultimately self-defeating? PRINCETON—Germany’s far right has won again, capturing the largest share of the vote in the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, as it did in Saxony-Anhalt earlier this month. Though it is unlikely to take power in the former, it still has a chance to do so in the latter. It needs the support of only three other members of…
