Floods trap people in cars in Spain’s Catalonia region

BBC Floods caused by torrential rain have left a number of people trapped in vehicles in Spain's north-eastern Catalonia region, officials say. Videos on social media have emerged showing torrents of muddy water sweeping through the towns of La Ràpita and Santa Bàrbara in the Tarragona province, and moving everything in their path.

France in fresh political crisis as PM Lecornu quits after 26 days

France is facing further political chaos after the country's latest prime minister, Sébastien Lecornu, resigned after just 26 days in the role.

Lecornu's shock resignation on Monday morning came the day after he unveiled his cabinet, and made him the third French PM to leave office since last December. His ministerial line-up had been fiercely criticised across the board by parties in the National Assembly, which threatened...

Trump demands NATO countries stop buying Russian oil

US President Donald Trump says he believes the Russia-Ukraine war would end if all NATO countries stopped buying oil from Russia and placed tariffs on China of 50 per cent to 100 per cent for its purchases of Russian petroleum. Trump posted on his social media site that NATO's commitment to winning the war "has been far less" than 100 per cent and the purchase of Russian oil by some members of the alliance is "shocking." As if speaking with NATO members, he said on Saturday: "It greatly weakens your negotiating position, and bargaining power, over Russia". US President Donald Trump has demanded NATO countries stop buying Russian oil and place tariffs on China. (Pool via AP) (AP) Since 2023, NATO member Turkey has been the third largest buyer of Russian oil, af...
