Copenhagen Airport closed due to “drone activity”. This is my (already massively rescheduled) flight circling over Helsingborg where we’re supposed to land soon. An awful week for Scandinavian air travel.

The Commission faces criticism over the Q&A format used in the interview, which allowed von der Leyen's team to send written replies without follow-up. "The format agreed was the format agreed, and that's all we have to say on the topic," says spokesperson.

Trump says he would help defend his NATO allies if Russia were to attack Poland or the Baltics. A further deterioration of his amity towards Vladimir Putin. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Really good explainer on Palestinian statehood from Sandra Gathmann on @aljazeera.com Well worth the watch today. youtu.be/yb-qGAaFVAc

🇵🇱🇵🇸 Friendly reminder that communist Poland recognised Palestine in 1988, democratic Poland continuously stands by this recognition.

The UK joins Canada and Australia in officially recognising a Palestinian State. This was always part of the two state solution plan which these countries have stuck by diplomatically for many years. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cp...

Big story in the battle between Brussels and Big Tech: The EU is poised to exclude Meta, Apple, Google and Amazon from a new system to share citizens’ financial data, in the face of Trump’s retaliation threats @bmoens.bsky.social & @paolatamma.bsky.social with the news on.ft.com/46tA9Yv

📺 WATCH: The people of #Greenland aren’t convinced of Danish reports of US spying in their country. I went and spoke to many of them for @news.dw.com. Full report on Instagram: www.instagram.com/share/BAIBwK...

How the "#MigrantCrisis" of ten years ago has shaped EU politics - the late summer of 2015 certainly was a turning point for Brussels, explains @jackeparrock.bsky.social fm4.orf.at/player/20250... via @fm4.orf.at

Yesterday, we held our annual event! 🌟 100+ animal protection organisations gathering together to discuss how to navigate this new political environment. Thanks to our speakers & panellists for an engaging and stimulating conversation.

During his virtual address to EU leaders, President Zelenskyy called for a $30 price cap on Russian oil, much lower than the $45 proposed by the European Commission. "A cap of $30 per barrel is needed to block Russia's ability to fund its aggression," he said. #EUCO

I had a fun chat and told my personal take on Szájer, Orbán and the Budapest Pride ban

NEW: The Vatican has just released this photo of the Pope, the first we are seeing of him since his hospitalisation. It's from behind, but he's sat upright in a wheelchair and doesn't appear to have any ventilation apparatus attached. The photo is taken in the chapel of Gemilli Hospital in Rome.

Why Trump doesn’t care who wins the elections in Greenland (but Europe does) With @magnuslundnielsen.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL87...

🗳️Great read from @magnuslundnielsen.bsky.social on today’s Greenland elections

Making the most of working on a Sunday.

Change of tune: Brussels says it will launch legal action against Poland if it breaches the Migration Pact. "If a member state risks delaying or even undermining the implementation of the Pact, the Commission will need to take the necessary measures."

Why all the Brussels journalists are mad at Von Der Leyen. And why EU 100 days doesn't even matter. And why did I call @jorgeliboreiro.bsky.social a dog on my YouTube? (Sorry mate) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk2t...

🚨 EU leaders agree conclusions on Ukraine with just 26 member states as Viktor Orban refuses to endorse the common language. #EUCO

VATICAN: Pope has a respiratory crisis this afternoon (28/2/2025) but he is now doing alright and has managed to recover. They say he choked on his own vomit. Doctors will take 24-48 hours to assess the situation.

I’m one of the few people who still uses Skype I think… Mainly for calling numbers is countries which cost a lot and can be done through Skype credit. Alas that wouldn’t be enough to sustain it.

A friend in Athens just sent me this video of Greek police charging protesters through Omonia Square. The demo was organised to demand government accountability for the #Thermi train crash.

Reuters has a live feed from Athens' main square where thousands of protesters have gathered since 10.30 a.m. (though the official time was 11). The speaker is reading the names of the 57 dead, most of whom were university students #Τεμπη #Tempe www.youtube.com/watch?v=34-K...

Ten years ago today the Russian opposition politician & fierce Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov was shot dead on a bridge opposite Red Square.

If you're curious how a democracy transitions from a free press to state-run media, this is the kind of step you'd expect to see.

📰 READ: Faithful flock to Rome, praying for Pope to pull through. My report for @news.dw.com from the Gemelli Hospital. www.dw.com/en/faithful-...

Mindblowing.

ROME: The Vatican says the Pope’s condition remains “critical” but that he has not presented any further respiratory crises since yesterday. He did join a mass in hospital but remains on oxygen through his nose. The #pope continues to be “alert and well oriented”.

I have decided to convene a special European Council on 6 March. We are living a defining moment for Ukraine and European security. In my consultations with European leaders, I’ve heard a shared commitment to meet those challenges at EU level:

Many thanks to our panelists @emmacalvert.bsky.social from @beuc.bsky.social, Maria Gafo Gomez-Zamalloa from DG AGRI, Miguel Ángel Higuera from @copacogeca.bsky.social, & @ruudzanders.bsky.social for a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation, & to @jackeparrock.bsky.social for the moderation.

A new vision for Europe’s agriculture & food system by 2040; but is it really visionary? And what does it mean for the climate or farmers’ lives? I joined @christiancummings.bsky.social on @fm4.orf.at to discuss. fm4.orf.at/player/20250...

Thousands of people attended the funeral of 19 year old Souleymane Sow today in Brussels. He was shot and killed at Clemenceau metro station in what has become a series of attacks there. Speaking to press earlier, reps from his family insisted he wasn't connected to any gangs.

Pope Francis is showing improvement, is alert and doing some work, the Vatican said, as the 88-year-old pontiff began his eighth day in hospital battling pneumonia reut.rs/3Qvo3GO

A spokesperson for the family of Souleymane Sow, a 19 year old shot at Clémenceau metro station in Brussels, insists he was not himself connected to any gangs. His funeral is taking place in Anderlecht today. Details of the police investigation remain vague.

Our position is clear: "President #Zelensky was legitimately elected in free, fair, and democratic elections. #Ukraine is a democracy, Putin's #Russia is not" @ec.europa.eu Deputy Chief Spokesperson Stefan De Keersmaecker states
