A storm stronger than anticipated has pushed sea levels into 245 homes already prone to repeated flooding. While the government considers the long-term cost of protecting vulnerable coastlines, residents describe watching the tide rise beneath their window frames.
Internal disputes have re-emerged within the Venstre party as a critical meeting leaves its leadership in a precarious position. The government also confirmed the legality of its pig farming ban, with ministers acknowledging the legality of the move alongside the presence of political pressure.
The capital’s metro is not equipped to serve as a bomb shelter, according to leaked emails, even as underground stations in Kyiv serve that exact purpose. After 31 years of operation, Copenhagen’s Hard Rock Cafe has closed its doors for the last time.
