The Interior Ministry reported 1,314 arrests as unions called fresh protests for 31 October and a nationwide strike for 5 November.

Kyiv is counting on their opening by the end of 2026 — but Budapest's position, diplomats say, has not changed. Here is what was blocked, what the two clusters cover, and why the next move matters more than this meeting.

For European buyers, the two launches tell very different stories: one phone you cannot buy yet, and one you can. Tue, 27 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://europeunfolded.pages.dev/articles/apple-m6-macbook-pro-on-device-ai.html https://europeunfolded.pages.dev/articles/apple-m6-macbook-pro-on-device-ai.html Apple has unveiled a new 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac powered by its M6 chip, promising faster AI work done on the machine itself rather than in the cloud. The machines look familiar, the prices are high, and the launch lands in the same week that Anthropic, the maker of Claude, opened its books to the public. Together, the two stories show where AI is heading next: not just bigger models, but machines and companies built to run AI everywhere, all the time.

It is a tantalising result, not a prescription — and the difference between those two things is exactly what this article explains, including who was studied, what was actually measured, and what you should not do on the back of a single small trial.

This week, the Fed, the Bank of Japan and the ECB all meet. That is why a round number like $4,000 matters: it is the line traders are watching before the decisions land.

This article was published 27 October 2026; the image itself was released as ESA/Webb Picture of the Month on 22 October 2026. Tue, 27 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000
