The image appears to feature a repeated text statement: "Let the truth be told, let the press be free." with the word "truth" and "free" emphasised in a different style bold and italic. At the bottom right, there is a symbol that resembles the European Union flag, suggesting the message is related to press freedom and transparency within or in relation to the EU.

Independent, free media stands at the core of democracy.

Today, the European Media Freedom Act starts applying, designed to strengthen media freedom, independence, and pluralism within the EU ⬇️

I discussed the preparations of the EU-China Summit with Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

It is the opportunity to mark the 50th anniversary of our bilateral relations – and address key opportunities and challenges linked to it.

Trump’s Two-Week Window for Diplomacy Was a Smokescreen Even as the president suggested he was open to negotiations, he already made up his mind.

As late as Thursday, Donald Trump suggested that Iran’s leaders would have up to two more weeks to negotiate. But at that point, he had already made up his mind: The United States was going to bomb Iran.

A fundamental trade-off in AI may exist: systems can either have provable certainty OR handle the messy real world, but not both. The paper formalises this conjecture and clarifies why even the best GenAI may always have some irreducible error rate.

EU pushes for ‘independence’ from China and US – but can it get there? European leaders have called for greater self-reliance, but some in Brussels warn that it must overcome a credibility gap to do so.

The nervous system comprises the CNS and associated sensory nerves (blue) and the autonomic nervous system, which includes sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves (red) and the ENS (purple). The immune system is composed of cells that span the entire body. This includes the meningiocranial immune system, which comprises immune cells important for neural development, brain repair, and brain border protection. Repeated exposure to allergens at mucosal sites (for example, lung, skin, and gut) can trigger local type 2 immunity. Type 2 immune cells signal to neurons across the periphery and brain through cytokines, whereas neurons signal to immune cells via neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. This is not an exhaustive list of cellular players, given that other tissue resident cells (e.g., fibroblasts and glial cells) may also respond to these signals.

In a new #ScienceImmunology Review, researchers discuss how interactions between the nervous and immune systems could impact neurological disorders and allergy-related behaviors like food avoidance. scim.ag/4mpgzE5

Over the past 50 years, ESA’s #Estrack satellite tracking network has kept an eye on satellites no matter their location: tracking them across Earth orbit, voyaging to comets or asteroids, at Lagrange points, & deep into our Solar System.

NEW: ‘There are limits’: the problems with China’s efforts to patch things up with Europe

Trump has handed Europe to China on a plate, but Beijing's charm offensive has left the EU cold.

A long read from me.
