Iceland votes on restarting EU accession talks

Polls remain tight as Iceland holds a referendum tomorrow on whether to restart EU accession talks. Membership has long been a divisive topic on the island, which gained independence from Denmark in 1944 and remains fiercely protective of its sovereignty. During previous talks, the bloc’s fisheries policy, which grants EU members access to each other’s waters, was a major sticking point: fisheries were worth around $8.8 billion in 2023, roughly a fifth of Iceland’s economy. But many Icelanders have a new concern. Threats from US President Donald Trump to annex Greenland, which he has previously confused with Iceland, revived interest in joining the union thanks to its shared defense agreement, as well as hopes that joining the Eurozone might help stabilize Iceland’s high cost of living. Unlike a Brexit-style vote, the referendum isn’t a final decision. Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir characterizes voting “yes” as the chance to find out what kind of deal Iceland can get. Final terms would also be voted on by Icelanders.

Denmark pays for its past

The new law will offer those affected a one-time payment of 300,000 Danish kroner, or around $47,000, following a landmark report last year by officials in Denmark and Greenland. Greenlandic women and girls as young as 12 were implanted with IUDs, often without their consent or knowledge, sometimes leaving them infertile. The Danish government at the time hoped to slow population growth on the island, which now has a population of around 57,000. It also comes as Denmark looks to strengthen relations with Greenland, after repeated threats from US President Donald Trump to annex the semiautonomous Danish territory. The Danish government gave an official apology for the contraception scandal last year.

Devastation in Nepal and China after flash flood, Tanzania’s political infighting tests its political stability, French presidential candidates face off in first debate

Catastrophic flooding in Nepal tests its young, new leader

A massive wall of mud and rock crashed into a river along Nepal’s Himalayan border with Tibet on Wednesday, triggering catastrophic flooding that swept away bridges, destroyed buildings, and swamped roads. Over 300 people were killed, and over 1,000 remain missing – including hundreds of foreign tourists – with officials warning that the death toll is likely to rise. The disaster poses a daunting recovery challenge for Nepal, one of Asia’s poorest and slowest-growing economies, which is already struggling with high fuel costs driven by the war in Iran. It is also a major test for Balen Shah, the country’s 36-year-old prime minister, who took office just five months ago after a wave of Gen Z frustration with the political establishment. Shah is visiting Nuwakot, one of the hardest-hit districts, today, and floods will be an early marker of whether his political appeal is matched by his ability to steer through a crisis.

A big settlement for Big Tech

The Facebook and Instagram owner settled with 47 states, the District of Columbia, and US territories on Wednesday, agreeing to pay financial penalties and make changes to its products over claims that its platforms endangered children. Meta agreed to limit how long teenagers can spend on its apps, allow teens to turn off “autoplay" on videos, and invest more in age-verification software. That last measure could be particularly important: Australia became the first country to ban social media for teens last year but has struggled to enforce the ban while young people find workarounds. After the settlement, Meta said in a blog post that it was “building on our longstanding efforts to empower parents and support teens.”
