It's that serious,\" O'Flaherty warned.\n\nThe rising tide of antisemitism, islamophobia, and hate speech, as well as two ongoing conflicts on the continent\u2019s eastern fringes and nefarious uses of tech, are posing an unprecedented challenge to human rights in Europe.\n\nUkraine has been high on the agenda at the annual tech event ever since the Russian invasion began nearly three years ago, with the embattled country's first lady, Olena Zelenska, making a keynote appearance in 2022 to lobby the tech sector to help end the violence.\n\nAt this year's event, human rights abuses in Europe continued to take centre stage with Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Putin critic and Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, giving a keynote on the importance of online dissent in the face of growing authoritarianism.\n\nO'Flaherty, too, was in Lisbon this week to make the case for technology to be a force for good, particularly when it comes to the booming use of artificial intelligence (AI).\n\nAI has the 'potential to transform our world'\n\n\"Tech carries the most enormous potential for human thriving. Look, it's banal. It's commonplace to talk about the cures for cancer, the COVID vaccines. But it's true.

We've seen them already. We've seen discrimination in the application of AI. We've seen the ability it has to spread disinformation. We see the horrors of weaponry. We see the risks of using AI in the justice sector. The list goes on\".\u00a0\n\nElected to his current role by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in January this year, O'Flaherty has long been a vocal proponent of regulation to protect human rights.\n\n\"There are ways to manage those risks: guardrails. And the most obvious guardrail is honouring the human rights commitments that our states have entered into,\" he told Euronews Next.\u00a0\n\n\"They are as relevant online as offline, in the tech sector as anywhere else. The trick is to get to the toolbox developed for the application of human rights in the tech context and determine the right balance of regulation\".\n\nThe EU AI Act, which came into force on August 1 this year, provides some safeguarding, but it is as yet untested when it comes to defending human rights, the commissioner explained.\n\n\"The EU AI Act is a really interesting and important precedent, but it's way too early to call on it yet, to see what it looks like and how it operates in practice,\" O'Flaherty said.\u00a0\n\n\"The Council of Europe has developed a framework convention on artificial intelligence; a totally different kind of instrument and designed to commit those states that sign up to it to guarantee putting human rights at the heart of the oversight of AI and then delivering the meaningful oversight,\" he added.\n\nBridge between tech and human rights' world\n\nIn contrast to the EU AI Act, the framework - which has so far been signed by European Union member states, the UK, and the United States - is the first-ever international legally binding treaty of its kind and is purposefully designed to fill in the legal gaps left by rapid technological advances rather than regulate the technology itself.\n\nGiven the challenges being presented by the digital era, however, the tech sector and those advocating for human rights need to find a better way of communicating with each other, O'Flaherty noted.\u00a0\n\n\"I'm at Web Summit, which is a tech event. It's full of techies. It's full of people who know the industry inside out. There's an awful lot of goodwill here,\" he said.\u00a0\n\n\"There's a genuine desire and an energy to build a better world. And the problem is the pathway to the better world... One of the issues is the tech world and the human rights world need to find a common language. We need to learn to speak to each other,\" he added.\u00a0\n\n\"One way that we will do a better job of communicating is by working with civil society. There are very smart people out there in NGOs and other parts of civil society who have built the bridge. And they need to be involved in these conversations if we're to make a future which would bring benefit for us all together\".\n\nThis bridge between the technology world and civil society could be instrumental in helping to serve justice for the atrocities committed in Ukraine since Russia\u2019s invasion began.\n\n\"There has to be justice. We have to have criminal accountability for criminal acts,\" O'Flaherty said.\u00a0\n\n\"I've been to Bucha myself. I've been told firsthand about the horrors of what happened there. But I've been in many other places where atrocities have been perpetrated around the world. And I'm so glad that I was able to be part of a process towards getting criminal justice for those acts,\" he added.\n\n\"[Justice] contributes to that sense of never again.

sleep of city residents.\n\nZero, a Portuguese environmental non-governmental organisation, first requested the night flight ban in the summer, warning that aircraft were causing noise and air pollution. \n\nThe government had previously introduced legislation to cap the number of flights that could take place at night from the airport, but Zero claimed that the airport was in violation of the limits. \n\nIn a two-week period, Zero had recorded an extra 115 flights, as reported in The Portugal News. \n\nMiguel Pinto Luz, the minister for infrastructure and housing, made the announcement and described the ban as a \u201cgiant step forward\u201d. \n\nThe decision came from a special working group assembled to examine the issue, and it was publicly shared on the same day that dozens of residents gathered to protest outside the city airport.\n\nSince the announcement, no dates have been given as to when Lisbon\u2019s night flight ban will begin.\n\nLocal campaigners say the night flight ban will have little impact\n\nAeroporto Fora, Lisboa Melhora, a group of citizens who are for the night flight ban, remain unconvinced that it will benefit local residents' health and wellbeing. \n\nIt claims that few flights are scheduled at this time and that the announcement does not clarify whether it\u2019s a total ban or whether scheduled flights running late from their airport of origin will still be permitted to land.\n\nHumberto Delgado Airport is located seven kilometres northeast of Lisbon\u2019s city centre and operates domestic and international flights. Yet it\u2019s an old airport in need of a major upgrade, which could take three years and cost \u20ac300 million. \n\nConcerned citizens are worried that the original airport will be expanded, and so have been campaigning for a brand-new airport outside the city instead of retrofitting the existing one. \n\nIs the night flight ban another indication that Portugal is struggling with visitor numbers?\n\nThe criticism over Lisbon\u2019s international night flights comes at the same time several Portuguese cities are introducing permanent tourist taxes.\n\nIn September, Lisbon began charging anyone over the age of 12 a \u2018taxa tur\u00edstica\u2019 of \u20ac4 per person per night for the first seven nights of your stay.\n\nLikewise, the coastal town of Albufeira in southern Algarve introduced its tourist tax in May 2024. This tax is charged for guests over the age of 12 and costs \u20ac2 per person per night for high season from 1 April to 31 October and \u20ac1 per person per night throughout the rest of the year.\n\nOther towns in the Algarve have also followed suit. Faro, a city in the Algarve region, will be implementing its year-round tourist tax from March next year, which marks the start of the region\u2019s high season. \n\nVisitors will need to pay \u20ac2 per person per night during peak season in Faro or \u20ac1 per person per night in the low season between November and February. Only visitors over the age of 16 will be expected to pay, and like Portugal\u2019s other tourist tax destinations, will be capped after seven nights.\n\nPortugal is an increasingly popular holiday destination throughout the year. In fact, there were 13.1 million visitors between January and August this year, which is up 6.7 per cent, according to the National Statistics Institute (INE).\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Lisbon has banned night flights after years of protests from local residents. <\/p>\n<p>Now, no planes will be going in or out of Lisbon's Humberto Delgado Airport between 1 am and 5 am each night, local time. <\/p>\n<p>This hard curfew comes after the government listened to local citizens and environmental groups, as well as the city council. <\/p>\n<p>Night flights have been an ongoing issue in Lisbon, disrupting the sleep of city residents.<\/p>\n<p>Zero, a Portuguese environmental non-governmental organisation, first requested the night flight ban in the summer, warning that aircraft were causing noise and air pollution. <\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.5625\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//08//85//21//22//808x454_cmsv2_ae51fd23-3af5-57e7-903c-d1c4901b01c9-8852122.jpg/" alt=\"Children wait for a flight inside Lisbon airport at night\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/85\/21\/22\/384x216_cmsv2_ae51fd23-3af5-57e7-903c-d1c4901b01c9-8852122.jpg 384w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/85\/21\/22\/640x360_cmsv2_ae51fd23-3af5-57e7-903c-d1c4901b01c9-8852122.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/85\/21\/22\/750x422_cmsv2_ae51fd23-3af5-57e7-903c-d1c4901b01c9-8852122.jpg 750w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/85\/21\/22\/828x466_cmsv2_ae51fd23-3af5-57e7-903c-d1c4901b01c9-8852122.jpg 828w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/85\/21\/22\/1080x608_cmsv2_ae51fd23-3af5-57e7-903c-d1c4901b01c9-8852122.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/85\/21\/22\/1200x675_cmsv2_ae51fd23-3af5-57e7-903c-d1c4901b01c9-8852122.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/85\/21\/22\/1920x1080_cmsv2_ae51fd23-3af5-57e7-903c-d1c4901b01c9-8852122.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Children wait for a flight inside Lisbon airport at night<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Canva\/Pio3<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The government had previously introduced legislation to cap the number of flights that could take place at night from the airport, but Zero claimed that the airport was in violation of the limits. <\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id=\"8262862,8492494\" data-event=\"widget_related\">\n <div class=\"c-widget-related__title\">\n <b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b>\n <\/div>\n <ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n <li class=\"c-widget-related__item\"><a class=\"c-widget-related__article\" href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//travel//2024//02//26//best-beaches-in-the-world-are-all-in-europe-portugal-italy-and-spain-named-traveller-favou/">Best beaches in the world are all in Europe: Portugal, Italy and Spain named traveller favourites<\/a><\/li><li class=\"c-widget-related__item\"><a class=\"c-widget-related__article\" href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//travel//2024//06//10//this-european-country-is-launching-the-worlds-longest-circular-hiking-trail-to-combat-over/">This European country is launching the world\u2019s longest circular hiking trail to combat overtourism<\/a><\/li>\n <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In a two-week period, Zero had recorded an extra 115 flights, as reported in The Portugal News. <\/p>\n<p>Miguel Pinto Luz, the minister for infrastructure and housing, made the announcement and described the ban as a \u201cgiant step forward\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>The decision came from a special working group assembled to examine the issue, and it was publicly shared on the same day that dozens of residents gathered to protest outside the city <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//travel//2024//11//11//planning-your-next-flight-how-europes-different-air-passenger-taxes-impact-your-wallet/">airport./n

chess world will try and break a new record at the Web Summit technology conference in Lisbon this week when Grandmaster Hans Niemann competes online against what he hopes will be tens of thousands of opponents in a single match.\u00a0\n\nThe match draws inspiration from the historic Garry Kasparov match against 50,000 participants in 1999 and another match in 1997 where he was defeated by a computer, IBM\u2019s Deep Blue. Niemann, a rising chess star was not even born then.\u00a0\n\nThis year, the world match against the 21-year-old will feature artificial intelligence (AI).\u00a0\n\nAnyone can join to play the match from their own devices. The AI system will give participants three options for each move which are either grandmaster, advanced or amateur level, the player is not told which level the move is.\u00a0\n\nPlayers then have 30 seconds to cast their vote and the most popular will be played. Niemann will have five minutes in total to make his moves.\u00a0\n\n\u201cI think there's a lot of intersectionality between chess and technology,\u201d Niemann told Euronews Next.\u00a0\n\n\u201cObviously, top chess players mostly rely on like a neural network AI engine to do most of our analysis. So I thought it would be an interesting mix to see what level of like mix between people and AI with suggestions could be,\u201d he said.\u00a0\n\n\u201cIf you're a complete beginner and you play a grandmaster, you're never going to win. It's not like a game like poker or backgammon that has a luck element that an amateur can enjoy against a professional\u201d.\n\nThe AI advisor system has been designed by the company it.com Domains and is based on the Stockfish AI engine, which Niemann said he uses.\u00a0\n\nNiemann said that his opponents will have less control as you get input from the engine but a vote is the most effective way to include as many players as possible.\n\n\u2018Good chances\u2019 in Web Summit chess game\u00a0\n\nAsked how he would feel if he lost the match, Niemann said it would depend on how he lost. He said it would \u201cnot be good\u201d if he were crushed but if he \u201closes on time and it\u2019s a fun game, it\u2019ll be ok\u201d.\n\n\u201cI don't have much riding on this game. Humans have been beaten by computers before so I certainly won't be an exception,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\u201cBut I do like to think that every chess game that I play will end in a victory\u201d.\n\nThe match will be played on November 13 at 13:15 CET at Web Summit.\u00a0\n\n\u201cI think I have good chances. It really depends on the crowd in Lisbon. I would presume it won't be all grandmasters in hiding,\u201d he said.\n\n\u201cBut obviously, it's going to be open to the public in the entire chess world, so it could be balanced out by all the chess players \u2026 so it could get quite difficult for me,\u201d he said.\u00a0\n\nThe current record for the most participants in a chess game is held by Viswanathan Anand who defeated more than 60,000 opponents.\n\nPutting a spotlight on chess is important, Niemann said.\u00a0\n\n\u201cFrom a commercial perspective, it's not as developed as other sports with similar interactional recognisability.

It seems leagues away from the line of traffic that decorates the tiny street outside. We're in Lisbon\u2019s popular Pr\u00edncipe Real neighbourhood, just a stone's throw from the city's Botanical Gardens and we have it here in miniature. \n\nPlants spring from every surface, wall and ceiling in this family-run establishment and after a genuinely warm personal welcome from the kitchen team, the adventure begins. \n\nTV stardom\n\nHalf French and Half Portuguese, Bourrat shot to fame as the winner of the French TV show \u201cTop Chef\u201d in 2022. Her cuisine has been described as unique and irreverent, and her punky appearance and demeanour reenforce that. But this is still a work in progress, she admits. \n\n\"I'm still pretty young, so I'm still in a constant evolution of finding my identity,\" she says. \n\nBut make no mistake. This is no newbie. She's now turning thirty and has been running kitchens since the age of 21. And the maturity is fully in evidence with the dining experience. \n\nWhat's on the menu?\n\nThe mackerel tart with dashi and thinly sliced carrots\u00a0is a one-bite citrus bomb with cream like a cannoli. \n\nThe sardine with black aioli on a tuile biscuit truly fascinates. It works as traditional yet elevated finesse but it also betrays a sense of humour.\n\nIt encapsulates everything that needed to be encapsulated in one image. It's so simple, it's brilliant. You have history and elevation in one blink. A statement that is hard to beat in terms of its ability to wow you initially, immediately, and yet be packed with meaning. \n\n\"There's a lot of work,\" Bourrat explains. \"It's a complicated dish to make, especially to get consistency on it, because it has so much precision, but if you're not precise enough, it can just look like it's a five-year-old child that drew something.\"\n\nA city of little lettuces\n\nThis dish made its debut in June when the city is eating a lot of sardines and celebrating the Festas de Santo Ant\u00f3nio a marking the life of the canonised alfacinha (a term referring to someone from Lisbon although it translated literally as 'little lettuce'), St Antony, patron saint of lost items. Bourrat's sardine will help ensure that this traditional fish never loses its place. \n\nThe vegetarian sweet potato ceviche with Lecce de Tigre\u00a0and frozen lime kaffir from Japan\u00a0is a firework, bursting with acid and bright lights while providing a chilli kick that sends your eyebrows a little higher than your facial structure expected. \n\nThe milk is sleek then cut by the excellent pairing from Ukrainian sommelier, Anastasia, of a blue slate Mosel Riesling. Gorgeous.\n\nThe chef's keenness to promote the vegetarian side of her repertoire was in evidence at this autumn's Chefs on Fire event along the coast in Cascais where she cooked up Szechuan-style potato salad with smoked pur\u00e9e, burnt leek and baby carrots. \n\nBack at Boubou's, Hamachi from the Azores is paired with a Verdelho from the archipelago's Pico Island made by 24 year old winemaker, Lucas Lopes Amaral. \n\nIt's a delicious, sushi-style dish with the rice twist adding a prawn cracker feel while the ponzu acid sharpens the mouthful of succulent fat fish. The Verdelho doesn\u2019t impose at all, rather its delicate volcanic character coats the mel\u00e9e in geography.\u00a0\n\nA lightness of touch combined with a boldness of flavour, isn't this fine dining?\n\n\"Fine dining -- the old school fine dining -- is slowly, slowly dying,\" says Bourrat. \"There is so much of an abundance of new things that people are not so easily impressed anymore. So in order to really thrive, you need to be extremely good. I don't think that that many places are actually hitting the mark or no longer hitting the mark. Not because they are not good, just because people have a much wider range of experiences. Because they're not shocking maybe, they're not surprising enough.\"\n\nTourism and money\n\nMaybe it's also a price point problem. Lisbon is suffering from tourists not having as much disposable cash\u00a0as they did in recent years. Footfall is still healthy, they are still coming, but the numbers don\u2019t translate into the expected revenue as more and more of them stay in their Airbnb instead of touring the city's eateries. But if you crave a high level of cooking, 7 courses at Boubou's is just under the 100 euro mark, making it comparatively very reasonable. \u00a0\n\nBourrat's Ox Tongue dish is the banner-waver for keeping it real. \"It's the memories of our grandmothers,\" she tells me. It is marinated first then slow cooked in broth and served with smoked eel in a tarragon-heavy ravigote sauce and a beef consomm\u00e9 filled with \"spices that grandma used to use like cinnamon and mixed pepper.\"\u00a0\n\nAnastasia's pairing is so clever here. The slight offal tinge is thrown into a rustic kaleidoscope with the tarragon and the medicinal hints from a lengthily-macerated and complex Georgian wine: a sulphuric nose with acacia, plasticine and wax and a palate brimming with nectarine and notes of elderflower and peat. This bewildering medieval soup is a cuv\u00e9e called Iago. Made from the Chinuri grape, it stays six months on the skins.\n\nMore tradition is adhered to with Bourrat's take on the classic pork and clam dish, Carne de Porco Alentejana. She uses black pork from Portugal's Alentejo region, cured first with salt and sugar then cooked sous vide.\n\nSmoked bonito flakes give the mayonnaise a Japanese feel and coriander oil is added (which is always served with the traditional dish). Bourrat adds blood orange and mustard seeds\u00a0to achieve table-thumping tastiness with just the right amount of salt to titillate.\u00a0\n\nThe clam sounds a little jarring to the uninitiated but rather like a beef with anchovy dish I had in Bordeaux once, it provides textural complexity as well as natural salinity. It's bold and fun.\n\nGirls just wanna...\n\n\"Chefs from my generation still want to do fine dining, but they no longer want the white table cloths and stuff,\" Bourrat insists. \"They want to be able to put on loud music and wear Doc Martens. We still want to have fun, you know.\"\n\nThere's definitely something maverick about infusing panna cotta cream with CBD but the addition of caramelised pistachio, fresh and pickled apples, cucumber and shiso leaf granita shows a deftness behind the renegade punk. But the focus here is on feeling comfortable and looked after. \n\n\"Some of the classic three-star places, even from the moment you step in, you feel like you don't belong already. It's like the amount of money that you're dropping on the table, you're supposed to feel comfortable, but it's the opposite. You want to feel like you're a superstar. That's what you need to feel like. We don't want people to feel pressure that they are not properly dressed or they are being too loud,\" she explains. \n\nWe finish with the dish that made her famous\u00a0on French TV. Black garlic and miso ice cream with chocolate, shiitake, and truffle crumble with a buckwheat cracker.\n\nIt is of course a total tour de force from this charismatic chef. Oodles of umami wrapped in chocolate familiarity and a depth of flavour to intertwine with the myriad tones of Anastasia's Madeira, a winning match. \n\nWhere's Michelin in this?\n\nOn the topic of accolades, Bourrat isn't such a renegade that she rejects them. A mature renegade perhaps?\n\n\"We're trying but I don't obsess over it. I don't get mad at it. If it doesn't happen right away I will be okay,\" she says. \n\n\"Something that I learned in Top Chef that was very, very useful: to mentally keep going until the end. The only thing that you can do that is in your power is to do your best. The rest it is not up to you.\"\n\n","htmlText":"<p>\"You can take the girl out of France...\" quips Chef Louise Bourrat as she orders a glass of champagne after a very busy service. <\/p>\n<p>\"But you have such nice Portuguese sparkling wines,\" I venture. \"Why do you want champagne?\" <\/p>\n<p>\"I don't know,\" grins Louise. \"Because of the way it sounds.\"<\/p>\n<p>Family photos abound in <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.boubous.com//en///">BouBou's arboretum-esque room in which one can immediately relax.

So in order to really thrive, you need to be extremely good. I don't think that that many places are actually hitting the mark or no longer hitting the mark. Not because they are not good, just because people have a much wider range of experiences. Because they're not shocking maybe, they're not surprising enough.\"<\/p>\n<h2>Tourism and money<\/h2><p>Maybe it's also a price point problem. Lisbon is suffering from tourists not having as much disposable cash\u00a0as they did in recent years. Footfall is still healthy, they are still coming, but the numbers don\u2019t translate into the expected revenue as more and more of them stay in their Airbnb instead of touring the city's eateries. But if you crave a high level of cooking, 7 courses at Boubou's is just under the 100 euro mark, making it comparatively very reasonable. \u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-quotation\n widget--size-fullwidth\n widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__content\">\n <blockquote class=\"widget__quote\">\n <span class=\"widget__quoteText\">Chefs from my generation still want to do fine dining, but...they want to be able to put on loud music and wear Doc Martens<\/span>\n <\/blockquote>\n <cite class=\"widget__author\">\n <div class=\"widget__authorText\">\n Louise Bourrat\n <\/div>\n <\/cite>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Bourrat's Ox Tongue dish is the banner-waver for keeping it real. \"It's the memories of our grandmothers,\" she tells me.

Bourrat adds blood orange and mustard seeds\u00a0to achieve table-thumping tastiness with just the right amount of salt to titillate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The clam sounds a little jarring to the uninitiated but rather like a beef with anchovy dish I had in Bordeaux once, it provides textural complexity as well as natural salinity. It's bold and fun.<\/p>\n<h2>Girls just wanna...<\/h2><p>\"Chefs from my generation still want to do fine dining, but they no longer want the white table cloths and stuff,\" Bourrat insists. \"They want to be able to put on loud music and wear Doc Martens. We still want to have fun, you know.\"<\/p>\n<p>There's definitely something maverick about infusing panna cotta cream with <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//health//2023//05//25//move-over-cbd-hhc-is-the-new-legal-cannabis-these-european-countries-want-to-ban/">CBD but the addition of caramelised pistachio, fresh and pickled apples, cucumber and shiso leaf granita shows a deftness behind the renegade punk. But the focus here is on feeling comfortable and looked after. <\/p>\n<p>\"Some of the classic three-star places, even from the moment you step in, you feel like you don't belong already. It's like the amount of money that you're dropping on the table, you're supposed to feel comfortable, but it's the opposite. You want to feel like you're a superstar. That's what you need to feel like. We don't want people to feel pressure that they are not properly dressed or they are being too loud,\" she explains. <\/p>\n<p>We finish with the dish that made her famous\u00a0on French TV. Black garlic and miso ice cream with chocolate, shiitake, and truffle crumble with a buckwheat cracker.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullscreen widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"1.4010507880910683\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//08//77//37//94//1052x1482_cmsv2_263bf083-4a05-5471-991a-540f428a6772-8773794.jpg/" alt=\"The winning dish from Top Chef &#39;22\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/77\/37\/94\/384x538_cmsv2_263bf083-4a05-5471-991a-540f428a6772-8773794.jpg 384w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/77\/37\/94\/640x897_cmsv2_263bf083-4a05-5471-991a-540f428a6772-8773794.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/77\/37\/94\/750x1051_cmsv2_263bf083-4a05-5471-991a-540f428a6772-8773794.jpg 750w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/77\/37\/94\/828x1160_cmsv2_263bf083-4a05-5471-991a-540f428a6772-8773794.jpg 828w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/77\/37\/94\/1080x1513_cmsv2_263bf083-4a05-5471-991a-540f428a6772-8773794.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/77\/37\/94\/1200x1681_cmsv2_263bf083-4a05-5471-991a-540f428a6772-8773794.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/77\/37\/94\/1920x2690_cmsv2_263bf083-4a05-5471-991a-540f428a6772-8773794.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">The winning dish from Top Chef &#39;22<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Jez Fielder<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>It is of course a total tour de force from this charismatic chef.
