Europe Today

Europe deserves a daily newspaper. As a first step Europe Today collects articles in English from European newsoutlets in order to present a truly European perspective on events in Europe and abroad.

We aim to bridge the gap between local and international news by bringing you all the stories that matter to you as a European, regardless of where they take place. Unlike many other 'European' newsoutlets, Europe Today brings you daily news stories that go beyond the EU institutions. Our goal is a daily newspaper, in one language, for the whole of Europe.

Britain will see its population swell from today’s 62.2 million to 77 million, an increase of 24 per cent.

This will make it bigger than France, projected to be 70 million and Germany, which is predicted to have 71.5 million citizens. The forecasts come form the Population Reference Bureau, a US body which supplies data to governments and institutions around the world. The predictions suggest that Britain will see its population increase over the next 40 years at a far faster rate than nearly every other European country. The extra 15 million equates to the combined populations of Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool being added to the total national population over the next two generations. Britain’s population has... [Read more]

Written by Sara Silvestri

Several European states – France, Italy, Belgium and Britain among them – are involved in legal, social or political disputes over the dress-codes of Muslim women. A detailed and alert survey of the variegated experiences and attitudes involved is the best way to understand a complex issue, says Sara Silvestri.

Perhaps then this is a good moment to disentangle some of the “burqa debate’s” many threads, in part by bringing to bear some of the detailed research I have been conducting into the issue of Muslim women’s dress and the wider question of “Muslim integration” across several European countries. Between law and politics The evidence that the burqa (at present, a shorthand for all the forms of apparel in dispute) is increasingly becoming a matter of public discussion, emotion, regulation and legislation in Europe is widespread. Yet there is also little that is definitive about how this “problem” is defined or the measures taken to “solve” it. The high-profile parliamentary vote in France is... [Read more]
