VOICE OF GERMANY – Luxembourg's Andrea Galleti is through to the next round of Germany's talent contest, The Voice of Germany. Performing with Julia Wolf, Galleti delivered what is being described as a gutsy and powerful performance in the battle round. The last remaining member of Rea Garvey's team, he's already overcome the blind audition and will now compete alongside eight other acts in the coming weeks.

RACCOON INVASION – Raccoons, introduced to Europe in the 1930s for fur, are now an invasive species threatening local wildlife. In Luxembourg, the number culled has more than doubled since 2015, with 168 shot in Wincrange alone last year.

World

COP 30 – The World Climate Conference begins in Belém in the Brazilian Amazon region today. COP30, which over the next fortnight will bring together some 50,000 people from 190 countries, will discuss how to tackle the climate crisis and its fatal consequences. So far, global efforts to prevent the average temperature on our planet from rising by more than 1.5°C are still falling short. UN Secretary-General Guterres made another appeal in the run-up to COP, calling for every country to be more ambitious. The United States will not be attending. President Trump has withdrawn from the Paris Climate Agreement and continues to describe climate change as fake news.

BELGIUM DRONES – More drone incidents in Belgium: Several drones were spotted last night directly above Liège Airport, forcing air traffic to be suspended for a good hour. The news agency Belga is also reporting that at least three drones were seen over the Doel nuclear power station near Antwerp.

SARKOZY APPEAL – This morning, French ex-President Nicolas Sarkozy will learn whether he must remain in prison or might be released. An appeals court in Paris will decide, after Sarkozy lodged an appeal following his conviction in the so-called Libya affair, for which he is supposed to serve five years. Despite the appeal, he began his prison sentence three weeks ago. The actual trial is expected in spring 2026.

MAGDEBURG TRIAL – Nearly eleven months after the Magdeburg Christmas market attack, the trial begins today. The accused, a Saudi psychologist who had asylum in Germany, drove through the market last December, killing six people and injuring over 300. He faces six murder charges and 338 counts of attempted murder in one of post-war Germany's largest trials.

US SHUTDOWN – In the United States, an end to the shutdown is in sight. Republicans and Democrats have taken a first concrete step, voting in the Senate to debate a transitional budget. However, the political crisis is far from over. The deal now provides for discussions on a budget valid until the end of January. Because of the shutdown, air traffic in the US has been massively limited since Friday. Some 2,000 flights were cancelled yesterday alone, and there are likely to be even more in the coming days. Air traffic controllers are no longer being paid and are therefore not coming to work.

PHILIPPINES TYPHOON – A weakening Typhoon Fung-wong has departed the Philippines over the South China Sea this morning, after its driving winds and heavy rain killed at least two people and forced more than a million to evacuate. Public life has been virtually brought to a complete standstill, with government offices and schools remaining closed.

BBC RESIGNATIONS – The director general of the BBC announced his resignation yesterday following a row over the editing of a documentary about Donald Trump. Tim Davie and the broadcaster's head of news, Deborah Turness, resigned after accusations that a documentary by its flagship Panorama programme had edited a speech by Trump in a misleading way. Reacting to the news, Trump said "corrupt journalists" had been exposed.
