A Scandinavian Airlines advertisement claiming that nothing about Scandinavian culture is genuinely original was pulled from circulation within hours of its release after triggering one of the most intense corporate backlashes in recent memory, including a bomb threat directed at the agency that produced it. The advertisement, titled “What is truly Scandinavian?” and released in February 2020, opened with the declaration: “What is truly Scandinavian? Absolutely nothing. Everything is copied.” It then proceeded to strip away the origins of a series of items closely associated with Nordic identity — attributing Swedish meatballs to Turkey, Danish pastries to Austria, rye bread…

Pope Leo XIV has delivered a fresh broadside against Donald Trump’s justice agenda by condemning capital punishment as an attack on human dignity, just hours after the president’s administration announced it would reintroduce execution by firing squad and expand the range of methods used to carry out federal death sentences. The pontiff spoke on Friday in a video message marking the 15th anniversary of the abolition of the death penalty in his home state of Illinois, declaring that “the right to life is the very foundation of every other human right” and that “the dignity of the person is not…

Iran has executed an anti-regime protester by public hanging after convicting him of spying for Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency and “waging war against God,” as the Islamic Republic continues a sweeping crackdown on those who took part in the January uprisings against the regime. Erfan Kiani was hanged on Saturday morning after Iran’s Supreme Court upheld his death sentence on appeal. He had been arrested during the January protests that erupted in opposition to the Tehran government following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and was subsequently convicted by the Isfahan Revolutionary Court on charges including wielding a…

A 14-year-old Iranian boy who raped a teenage girl within three months of arriving in Britain on a small boat has been spared custody and handed a rehabilitation order requiring him to attend consent awareness sessions — a sentence that has left his victim’s family “furious” and sparked fierce political criticism. The boy, who cannot be named due to his age, entered the UK last June as an unaccompanied child migrant and was living in foster care when he attacked the 14-year-old girl in Bedfordshire in September last year. The two had met at school before encountering each other on…

Britain has been making the most of an unseasonably warm spring weekend, with temperatures climbing to 22C across parts of the country and crowds heading to the coast and to the parks — and the timing could scarcely be better for the roughly 59,000 runners due to set off from Blackheath on Sunday morning in the 2026 TCS London Marathon, before rain and possible thunderstorms sweep in on Monday. A weekend of sunshine before the rain returns Saturday saw the south coast at its busiest for weeks. Beaches at Bournemouth and Lyme Regis in Dorset filled with sunbathers; Devon’s coastline…

A television advertisement from Germany’s largest public health insurer promoting contraception counselling has gone viral for the second time, reigniting fierce debate about demographic messaging at a moment when the country is grappling with one of Europe’s lowest birth rates and ongoing tensions over migration and national identity. The advertisement, produced by AOK as part of its 2021 “#AllesOK” campaign, shows a young fair-skinned German couple in bed. While the woman briefly leaves the room, the man wakes to find a dark-haired, bearded man of Mediterranean appearance beside him. On-screen text reads “Mit ihm?” — “With him?” The woman returns,…

Councils across Britain are offering welfare claimants discounts on drinks at bars, beauty treatments, saunas, beach huts and white water rafting, a Telegraph investigation has found, in findings that critics say illustrate a “welfare culture” that has spiralled out of control while working families face the fastest tax rises in the world. The Telegraph’s investigation uncovered a striking range of perks available to Universal Credit and other benefit claimants through council-run or council-affiliated schemes. In Labour-run Leeds, claimants can obtain a LeedsCard Extra for £5 that provides up to 20 per cent off food and drinks at bars and restaurants,…
