Subsidized greasy-spoon diners called milk bars thrived in Poland in the communist era. Their numbers have dwindled, but Poles are once again embracing them for cheap comfort food.

Poland has some of the most restrictive abortion laws in Europe, but the right-wing government failed in a recent attempt to make them tougher as the public pushed back.

During communist times, most people in Poland ate at thousands of state-subsidized greasy spoons called milk bars. Only about 150 remain — struggling against efforts to cut government subsidies.

Voters in Austria choose a new president in an election Sunday. It could deliver the first significant victory for far-right, anti-migrant parties that have been growing in strength across Europe.

Austria could elect the first head of state from a far right party on Sunday. Because of the party's Nazi ties in the past, this election holds special significance for Austria's Jews.

Voters in Austria totally rejected the mainstream parties in the first round of presidential elections, so the two candidates in Sunday's runoff are from the political fringe, including one from the far right.
