Europe this week

What's really happening across Europe, country by country. Tap a country for the facts, the source, and what to do.

What the colours mean

Green: all clear. Nothing this week that changes daily life.
Amber: be aware. Something real is happening, such as a yellow weather warning or a scare that has passed. Know about it.
Orange: serious. An official orange or red warning, people hurt or killed, or mass unrest. Act on it if you live there.
In an emergency, always follow your government's alerts first.
Each story names its source. Levels come only from official bodies.

News changes fast. Always check your own government's advice. Ready Kate is independent and not part of any government. In an emergency call 112 anywhere in Europe, or 999 in the UK.
