Infographic titled "The journey of a European citizens' initiative," illustrating six steps in the process: (1) Preparation – forming a group of at least 7 EU citizens from 7 different countries; (2) Registration – Commission checks registration conditions; (3) Collection – 12 months to gather at least 1 million signatures; (4) Verification – national authorities verify signatures; (5) Submission – verified initiative is submitted to the Commission; (6) Examination – meeting with the Commission, public hearing in the European Parliament, and Commission's official response.

According to Israeli media, the first strike on Nasser hospital was tank fire. The IDF says it was aiming at a camera. It killed Reuters cameraman Hussam al-Masri, who was filming his usual livefeed there. So, same as the IDF killing of Reuters’ Issam Abdallah in 2023 www.reuters.com/graphics/ISR...

Cycling is more than just exercise. It means a cleaner planet, thriving cities, and a stronger economy.

EU cycling in numbers:
✔️ 92,000+ km of EuroVelo cycling routes across Europe
✔️ Nearly 10 million bikes produced in the EU every year
✔️ 1.35 million jobs supported by the EU cycling sector
Stylised map of Europe formed by colorful interconnected cycling routes, representing all the EuroVelo routes across Europe. Three bicycle icons are placed across the map. The text reads: 'Two wheels. One Europe. Endless possibilities.' A logo of the European Commission is shown in the bottom right corner.

This is actually insane. The excitability of the EU commentator hoping that the bloc could retaliate against the US and set fire to the global economy to show strength. Because we want to try the 1930s spiral of retaliation. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Arlene Foster, as DUP leader, gave free rein to the DUP's Westminster MPs pursuing Brexit, and tore Unionism apart. Now things are just about stable again, she plunges into endorsing the Braverman report for wrecking the GFA. And thinks this will save the Union.
