Turkey and Greece have been at loggerheads over territorial boundaries for decades, but things have heated up in recent weeks with a battle for undersea natural resources threatening a geopolitical collision at Europe's southern border.
European leaders and institutions are gearing up for some of the EU's toughest negotiations of 2020 - agreeing the bloc's €1.27 trillion ($1.37tn) budget for the next seven years in a post-Brexit landscape.
Last weekend, news spread across Europe that Finland's new prime minister, 34-year-old Sanna Marin, was floating the idea of a four-day working week for all of the country's employees.
One of the key issues that drove the 2016 Brexit referendum, perhaps the most significant European political event of the past 30 years, was trust - trust in European institutions, trust in experts, and, perhaps most importantly, trust in politicians.
A multi-million-dollar crime industry in which armed gangs are unafraid to attack and kill law enforcement personnel in broad daylight in a bid to steal and trade a lucrative substance. The location: inside the European Union. The target: trees.
Scruffy-looking, gruff, even corrupt and violent... Right here at the heart of "ordentlich" Germany, plainclothes ticket inspectors enforce law and order with mobbish zeal on public transportation. Who are these people, and how do they get away with such impunity? Is' mir egal..." Literally, "I don't care."
Seriously, are there any limits to the hypocrisy of arch-Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg? We know that the MP for North East Somerset has a track record of double standards. He's applied them while talking about student debt. He's dealt them out during the Russia debate.
German women grabbing the hyper-masculine image of bikers by the balls: welcome to Berlin's own all-female motorcycle club. Thomas Wintle infiltrated the increasingly popular gang to find out what keeps their engines running. It's a biting February night and half a dozen customised choppers and vintage motorcycles are parked up in front of the soon-to-close Bassy Club on Schönhauser Allee.
There's currently a war raging for the soul of UKIP. And if the extreme Islamophobic wing of the party gets its way, far-right 'activist' Steven Yaxley-Lennon, aka Tommy Robinson, could become a card-carrying member. Whether or not this will happen is unclear.
