We need more of these pics
The rikishi are taking-in the town and doing what we all do when in London.
Seeing the sights, admiring the parks, shopping on High Street, taking tea at Fortnum's, using the olde phonebox, eating Chinese, and having a terrific time.

🇧🇪🐾 Animals – wild, domestic, mythical – have always been part of the Belgian story. For this issue, we hear them bark, purr, moo and tweet.

In this chaotic and scary world, we need good news stories.
Today, US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was at the Port of Antwerp, with Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever.
Noem was introduced to one of the port's Malinois dogs.
The good news? The dog still lives.

The French Revolution perfected the art of swift political justice with the guillotine. The blade is parliamentary rather than steel, but France’s embattled PM Bayrou will feel it on Monday when he face a confidence vote in the National Assembly: inews.co.uk/news/world/f...
France’s government is about to collapse - and the UK will pay a price
Prime Minister Francois Bayrou is a 'dead man walking' in confidence vote, and President Emmanuel Macron is imperilled

Two years ago, Oppenheimer hit cinemas like an atomic blast.
But did you know the man behind the Manhattan Project came to Brussels not once, but three times for the world’s most elite scientific gatherings?

Trump has announced 30% tariffs on the EU. It may all be performative - claiming spurious grievances and declaring punishments in hopes of securing concessions - but the repercussions of this disruption could be massive: inews.co.uk/news/trump-s...
Trump has set the stage for a colossal trade war - and it could spiral out of control
Trump has also threatened reciprocal tariffs on any counter measures from the EU - the consequences could not be greater

The new Superman movie is out this week, and this time, the Man of Steel is accompanied by #Krypto the #Superdog.
He looks cheerful and fun.
But what's dogging me is why he wears a cape.
As any dog - or even Superdog - owner can tell you, capes are a terrible idea.

The latest @BrusselsTimes.com Magazine is out now

Our cover story is about Belgium’s firepower.
The European Union may be a peace project, but it is now - reluctantly – rearming, with guns made in Belgium.
