After a hot early summer that saw heatwaves followed by major flooding hit Europe last month, extreme weather conditions have continued across the continent. Authorities in Poland mobilised emergency services on Monday after roads and basements flooded in Zakopane and nearby towns. Firefighters were also called to intervene in many places. Flooding caused by a cloudburst made the Zakopianka route connecting the Tatra Mountains to Krakow impassable for several hours. The extreme weather event also affected neighbouring Austria, where a thunderstorm with heavy rain hit the municipalities of Wald...

Romania topped their group while a disappointing Dutch team progressed as one of the four best third-place squads. The winner will advance to face Austria or Turkey in the quarterfinals on Saturday, potentially setting up a quick Netherlands-Austria rematch in Berlin after the group stage.

Dutch coach Ronald Koeman reported no new concerns, as his midfield was already decimated by a slew of injuries before the tournament. Speaking about criticism faced by...

Most descriptions for Des Teufels Bad (The Devil’s Bath) may inadvertently discourage viewers looking for a clear notion of what they’re about to watch. It’s an unclassifiable and tantalising slow-burn that won’t be everyone’s idea of a carefree time at the cinema. However, to skip it would be a mistake, as it is without a doubt one of the most memorable films you’ll see all year and the highlight of this year’s Berlinale, where it premiered in Competition and won the Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution - awarded to cinematographer Martin Gschlacht for his striking work. Many - inlcudin...

Austria’s U-turn on the biodiversity law unleashed havoc in the federal country culminating with the announcement today (June 17) of a lawsuit in front of the European Court of Justice by Chancellor Karl Nehammer against climate minister Leonor Gewessler. Hailing from the Austrian People’s Party (APP), liberal-conservative Karl Nehammmer said Gewessler, a Green member of the ruling coalition in Austria, had "violated the Constitution" by casting a vote on behalf of the Austrian Republic that went against the will of the governing coalition on the Nature Restoration Law, adding such acts needed...

Pride Month, the worldwide celebration of LGBTQ+ culture and rights, has begun with events around the globe. In Vienna organisers say that around 340,000 people enjoyed themselves in the sunshine. And indoors too - one post on X showed video of revellers joining Saturday shoppers in the city. But there was also a serious purpose to the fun and the revelry. In a statement the organisers said: "Pride is a demonstration. It’s about making lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) individuals visible." Europe’s leading LGBTI organisation, ILGA-Europe, published its annual Ra...

The entire course of the Danube in Austria has been closed after its banks burst in the country's third-largest city, Linz. The river, which flows over 350 kilometres of Austria, was closed for shipping after heavy rainfall caused floods in both Austria and Germany.

Police confirmed on Tuesday that a women's body was recovered from a car that sank into floodwater in Bavaria. The woman was found in the town of Markt Rettenbach after ignoring barriers blocking a flooded roa...

A rift within Austria’s federal government and crumbling opposition in some regions means the country’s veto of EU legislation designed to reverse decades of ecosystem degradation across the union is now in question. Austria is one of a group of countries that has said it would not support the proposed Nature Restoration Law (NRL) in an inter-governmental vote, despite previous agreement between the EU Council and European Parliament over the key environmental legislation. Environment minister Leonore Gewessler, a Green and a staunch supporter of the law, has been constrained by the opposition...
