Europe

Specialist LKA units in Berlin’s Pankow district discovered 59 unexploded Second World War shells during a routine walk. The find underscores ongoing risks associated with remnants of wartime ordnance in urban areas. Authorities are assessing the situation for safety and proper disposal protocols.

Talking Europe hosts Andrej Plenkovic, the prime minister of Croatia. We unpack the dense agenda of the October 26-27 EU Council and debrief the summit’s conclusions on the Israel-Hamas war, particularly the call for “humanitarian corridors and pauses” to ensure aid to the Palestinians in Gaza. We also discuss developments in southeastern Europe, such as the recent re-introduction of border checks, and ask what those mean for Croatia and the other countries concerned.
