Denmark, a leader in digital tech, is rethinking its approach in schools. With screens seen as a distraction and social media harmful, the Ministry of Education has urged a return to the basics. At the ‘Marienschule’ in Tondern, they've taken the leap. Tablets have been ditched for books and pencils.

The European Environment Agency has published its annual report on bathing water quality. 96% of bathing waters meet EU quality standards, and over 85% are of excellent quality. But the assessment criteria have been criticised: The results measure only bacteriological pollution and not chemical pollution.

Since the end of 2016, Italy has authorised the cultivation of light cannabis. In other words, hemp for industrial use with less than 0.2% THC content. However, the right-wing and extreme-right Italian government wants to change the law and de facto equate “light” cannabis to cannabis with a narcotic effect.

Founded in 2019 in Vienna, the human rights and humanitarian aid organisation SOS Balkanroute, which is funded by donations, looks after people fleeing
their country and supports local humanitarian aid networks in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since Hungary and then Croatia closed their borders, more people are trying to enter the EU via Bosnia. But it's a riskier route. We join SOS Balkanroute on the border between Bosnia and Croatia. It's an area where defenseless people are exposed to smuggler networks and brutal pushbacks.

For the first time in Northern Ireland's history, the first minister is from the Irish nationalist Sinn Féin party. On taking office, Michelle O’Neill said that a referendum on whether Northern Ireland should remain part of the United Kingdom or be reunited with the Republic of Ireland could be on the cards within a decade. But will asking this question reopen old wounds, in a place scarred by violence? And how do young people in Northern Ireland see their future?

The end is nigh for beach concessions in Italy after being handed down through the generations. But using calls for tender, as is set out by European law, has led to operators taking action and stalling for time. However, associations are working to make access to beaches easier, like in Rimini, the Italian holiday hotspot on the Adriatic coast.

In Luxembourg, the question of war and security in Europe, pushed to the forefront by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, has been a key issue in the debate ahead of the European elections. The governing coalition has announced an unprecedented defence budget for this small, peaceful country.

Forty years ago, in June 1982, Israel invaded southern Lebanon, dubbed Operation Peace for Galilee by the Israelis. A small guerrilla group came together in secret to resist this offensive. Formed and supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran, it officially declared itself in 1985 as Hezbollah: The Party of God.
Four decades later, this small group has grown to become one of the most important military and political forces in the Middle East. A party of resistance for some, a terrorist group for others, Hezbollah is admired as much as it is feared. But the organisation, practically a state within a state, is living through turbulent times as Lebanon is experiencing a major political and economic crisis.

As  Lebanon experiences an existential crisis, a focus on the history of militant group Hezbollah, a controversial organisation supported by Iran.

Entire generations have learned about sex through mainstream porn, blurring the lines between personal desires and platform-driven fantasies. But if our sexuality is shaped by algorithms, can’t we take back some control? The post-porn movement is doing exactly that. Aimed at creating pornography that reflects honest, consensual sex – its creators are making waves online.

On 4 April 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty was signed, enshrining the creation of NATO just four years after the end of the Second World War. The primary objective of this military alliance of twelve European and North American countries was to prevent war in Europe and to counter the expansion of the Soviet bloc. Since its creation in the Cold War, the organisation has grown from 12 to 31 member states - including several former Eastern Bloc nations. Weakened by its turbulent history, NATO is facing a growing number of challenges: the difficulty of coordinating its members, the logistical obstacles in the event of an attack on European soil, and the threat, raised by Donald Trump, of an American withdrawal, at a time when European defence is almost entirely dependent on the United States.

A look back at the turbulent history of the military alliance facing unprecedented challenges in the face of Putin's Russia.

The paintings of Vincent Van Gogh are losing their colours. The paints he used were vibrant, but cheap, and degraded within months of painting. It's now impossible to appreciate the true beauty of his works, as his flamboyant flare for colours has slowly turned drab. If nothing is done, the Sunflowers which are still a beautiful gold today could well turn brown. Should we just accept they can't be saved?
