Lord Frost, the former chief negotiator for the UK's Brexit negotiations, argues in this talk that Western Civilization, the most creative and dynamic force in human history, now stands at a crossroads. The defining elements of its success—intellectual dynamism, economic freedom, individual autonomy, and the ability to absorb and refine ideas—are under sustained attack.

Emmanuel Macron made his state visit to the UK this week – the first EU leader to do so since Brexit. It heralded a reset between France and Britain, dubbed the ‘entente amicale' by King Charles. Macron and Starmer announced a joint crackdown on migration with a ‘one-in one-out policy' for asylum seekers and closer cooperation on defence. But it wasn't all hard talk, with much of the limelight focused on a soft-power push: the announcement that the Bayeux Tapestry will be returning to the UK for the first time in more than 900 years. Host George Parker is joined by Stephen Bush, Anna Gross and the FT's Europe editor Ben Hall to discuss what this ‘entente amicable' might mean for the UK.Follow George on Bluesky or X: @georgewparker.bsky.social, @GeorgeWParker; Stephen @stephenkb.bsky.social‬, @stephenkb; Anna @annasophiegross.bsky.social What did you think of this episode?

It's been a grim, record-breaking week for Ukraine, with Russia unleashing an unprecedented wave of missiles and drones, including decoys to overwhelm air defences. Amid the chaos, Trump seemed equally thrown—confused by Putin, then reversing course to reinstate military aid to Kyiv after pausing it just last week. Washington is now dangling sanctions as the carrot turns to stick in ceasefire efforts. Meanwhile, it's been pageantry over politics as the Macrons embarked on a three-day state visit to the UK. Kicking off with cocktails at Windsor Castle—“The Entente”, a symbolic mix of British gin and French pastis—the visit marked a reset in post-Brexit ties. There were toasts with the King and Keir, a nuclear cooperation deal, and a plan to stop migrant crossings. Macron couldn't resist a little “I told you so” on Brexit. And in tech: Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok sparked outrage after it began imitating Hitler and promoting anti-Semitic views. Just days after Musk hailed its progress, Grok called itself “MechaHitler.” Musk blamed manipulation and removed the posts. The fallout continued with the sudden resignation of X CEO Linda Yaccarino—met with a cold, two-line farewell.

Les perspectives de trêve dans la Bande de Gaza ne cessent d'être repoussées. Il y a des avancées mais aussi des désaccords qui persistent, et ce malgré les pressions de Donald Trump. Ce dernier multiplie les droits de douanes, utilisés à des fins politiques, le Brésil en fait les frais. Emmanuel Macron a quant à lui effectué une visite d'état au Royaume Uni. L'occasion de voir où en est la relation entre les deux pays depuis le Brexit. 

With this week's state visit to Britain by Emmanuel Macron, we're looking at the state of UK-Franco relations, and how important a new ‘entente cordiale' is to Keir Starmer as he deals with political problems both home and abroad.Joining host Alain Tolhurst to discuss why the French president is open to a rapprochement after a pretty frosty few years post-Brexit, what both sides have been able to agree on, and what still divides them, are Sir Peter Westmacott, a former UK ambassador to France, as well as Ben Lake, Plaid Cymru MP and chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on France.Alongside them are Francois-Joseph Schichan, director at Flint Global and former career diplomat in the French diplomatic service, Adam Plowright, ex-deputy editor-in-chief for Europe at Agence France Presse and a biographer of Emmanuel Macron, and Matilda Martin, reporter at PoliticsHome.To sign up for our newsletters click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced by Nick Hilton and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot

L'ancien Premier ministre Michel Barnier, ex-commissaire européen, négociateur du Brexit, plusieurs fois ministre, nous livre sa vision d'une Europe sous tension.

C dans l'air du 10 juillet 2025 : Nucléaire, immigration : l'axe Paris-LondresAlors que les attaques russes redoublent d'intensité en Ukraine et que le continent s'est lancé dans une course à l'armement, Paris et Londres ont annoncé être prêts à "coordonner" leurs dissuasions nucléaires pour protéger l'Europe de toute "menace extrême". Un "groupe de supervision nucléaire", coprésidé par l'Élysée et le Cabinet Office britannique, va être créé. Cette évolution majeure de leur doctrine a été officialisée par Emmanuel Macron et Keir Starmer, alors que le président de la République effectue une visite d'État au Royaume-Uni depuis plusieurs jours.Depuis plusieurs semaines, les deux dirigeants avaient promis de muscler la défense européenne face au désengagement des États-Unis. C'est chose faite. Mais qu'est-ce que cela signifie concrètement ? S'agit-il d'un tournant historique en matière de dissuasion nucléaire ? Le rapprochement franco-britannique signe-t-il le retour de "l'Entente cordiale" ?Invité par le roi Charles III, Emmanuel Macron est le premier chef d'État de l'Union européenne à se rendre outre-Manche depuis le Brexit, et le premier président français à effectuer une visite d'État au Royaume-Uni depuis Nicolas Sarkozy en 2008. Entre procession en calèche et dîner royal à Windsor, le couple présidentiel ont eu droit à tous les honneurs du protocole royal. Emmanuel Macron s'est également adressé au Parlement britannique, a coprésidé une réunion de la "coalition des volontaires" avec Keir Starmer, et a participé à un sommet qualifié par certains de… réconciliation.Au-delà de la défense, Londres et Paris s'apprêtent à annoncer de nouvelles mesures pour lutter contre l'immigration clandestine dans la Manche, un dossier qui empoisonne les relations bilatérales depuis plusieurs années.Autre point de friction : Donald Trump. Le président américain, revenu sur le devant de la scène, menace d'imposer de nouveaux droits de douane. Une inquiétude partagée des deux côtés de la Manche. Tandis que Keir Starmer s'est dit prêt à satisfaire les exigences de Washington pour conclure rapidement un accord, Paris et Bruxelles ont jusqu'au 1er août 2025 pour tenter, à leur tour, de négocier un compromis.LES EXPERTS :- ANTHONY BELLANGER - Éditorialiste - Franceinfo TV, spécialiste des questions internationales- JOSEPHINE STARON - Directrice des études et des relations internationales – Synopia- CATHERINE NORRIS TRENT - Grand reporter -France 24- PATRICK DUTARTRE - Général de l'armée de l'Air et de l'Espace, ancien pilote de chassePRÉSENTATION : Caroline Roux - Axel de Tarlé - REDIFFUSION : du lundi au vendredi vers 23h40.PRODUCTION DES PODCASTS: Jean-Christophe ThiéfineRÉALISATION : Nicolas Ferraro, Bruno Piney, Franck Broqua, Alexandre Langeard, Corentin Son, Benoît LemoinePRODUCTION : France Télévisions / Maximal ProductionsRetrouvez C DANS L'AIR sur internet & les réseaux :INTERNET : francetv.frFACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/Cdanslairf5TWITTER : https://twitter.com/cdanslairINSTAGRAM :https://www.instagram.com/cdanslair/

The UK is in a border crisis.  We don't need weak deals—we need to declare a national emergency, close our borders, and take serious action. As Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, demands—put the troops on the beaches of Dover, deploy the Navy in the Channel, and stop the migrant taxi service! We need tough deterrents like Rwanda deportations.  End the UK's image as a “migrant El Dorado” by closing the migrant hotels, speeding up deportations, and leaving the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) immediately.  It's time to act like a sovereign nation again.

C dans l'air l'invitée du 7 juillet 2025 : Anne-Elisabeth Moutet, éditorialiste pour le Daily Telegraph.Le président Emmanuel Macron effectue, en compagnie de son épouse, une visite d'État au Royaume-Uni du mardi 8 au jeudi 10 juillet. Après les années de tension liées au Brexit, les relations entre les deux pays se sont améliorées ces dernières années et elles se sont particulièrement renforcées avec l'arrivée au pouvoir en juillet 2024 du travailliste Keir Starmer. Jeudi, les deux dirigeants participeront au sommet franco-britannique à Downing Street et présideront une réunion des pays "volontaires" pour un renforcement des capacités de défense de l'Ukraine face à la Russie. L'immigration, et la question des traversées de la Manche, sera certainement un des grands dossiers de cette visite d'Emmanuel Macron. Cela fait partie des choses que le gouvernement Starmer veut absolument essayer de régler.Emmanuel Macron sera accueilli en grande pompe, par le roi Charles III, et s'adressera au parlement britannique demain. Anne-Elisabeth Moutet, éditorialiste pour le Daily Telegraph, fera le point avec nous sur l'état de la relation franco-britannique, et les grands chantiers de discussion en cours entre Emmanuel Macron et Keir Starmer.

His post may be largely ceremonial, but his messaging is crystal clear. The first state dinner at the palace of King Charles's reign goes to France's Emmanuel Macron, not the United States' Donald Trump. At a time when the United Kingdom is forced to rethink its role in an uncertain world, is it turning its back this time on Winston Churchill's adage that "if Britain must choose between Europe and the open sea, she must always choose the open sea"? On that point, Macron was even handed the microphone at Westminster as the first European leader honored with a state visit since Brexit. We ask about his message and the symbiotic ties that bind the continent's only nuclear powers. On one of the highlights of the three-day visit, the French president and the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will on Thursday jointly host a virtual summit of the "coalition of the willing" on Ukraine from the NATO base at Northwood, England. Will it be a symbolic show or a new chapter? Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Ilayda Habip, Alessandro Xenos.

Emmanuel Macron is in London this week, meeting the Royal Family - and Keir Starmer isn't missing the chance to cosy up to the French President. The Prime Minister is hosting a summit in central London with Macron, bringing in French and British business bosses to talk trade and tech. Starmer is talking once again of strengthening ties with Europe, but is this yet another Brexit surrender deal after his ‘EU reset' that gave away access to British fishing waters for twelve years?Starmer and Macron are also expected to announce plans for French police to do more to stop the endless flow of small boats crossing the Channel. But with no sign of a proper returns deal for illegal migrants, Tim and Cleo Watson ask The Daily Telegraph's Europe Editor James Crisp what Britain really gets from this relationship. And we remember Tory grandee Norman Tebbit, who has died aged 94. A towering figure in Margaret Thatcher's cabinet, he helped take on the unions, oversaw privatisation and famously survived the IRA's Brighton bomb of 1984. Lord Charles Moore, Thatcher's biographer, reflects on Tebbit's legacy and the era he helped shape.Read:Victorious Macron arrives at summit to accept Starmer's Brexit surrender - James CrispLord Tebbit, pugnacious Tory who articulated the Iron Lady's views to the man on the streetProducer: Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineySocial Media Producer: James SimmonsVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Operator: Meghan SearleOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

Khai mạc Tuần lễ Công nghệ Luân Đôn (London Tech Week 09-13/06/2025), thủ tướng Anh Keir Starmer tuyên bố mở ra một chương mới, trong đó trí tuệ nhân tạo là trọng tâm, cho ngành công nghệ cao của Vương quốc Anh. Chính phủ công bố bản tổng dự toán chi tiêu công quốc gia giai đoạn 2025-2030, với con số khổng lồ là 86 tỷ bảng Anh (116 tỷ đô la) dành cho các ngành công nghệ cao, giáo dục và trí tuệ nhân tạo AI. Vậy tham vọng của Luân Đôn là gì và cơ hội nào để Anh Quốc trở thành cường quốc về ‘trí tuệ nhân tạo'? Tường thuật của thông tín viên tại Luân Đôn Nguyễn Giang.  Nguyễn Giang : Trước tiên xin giải thích rõ hơn về các con số lớn mà chính phủ Anh đưa ra để đầu tư vào phát triển công nghệ cao, gọi chung là R&D (Research & Development – Nghiên cứu và Phát triển sản phẩm mới). Khoản chi của ngân sách hàng năm từ nay đến năm 2029-2030 là 22,6 tỷ bảng, và đến cuối nhiệm kỳ Quốc Hội này, tổng mức sẽ là 86 tỷ bảng Anh, tương đương 116 tỷ đô la Mỹ. Trong các lĩnh vực, ưu tiên hàng đầu là nghiên cứu và phát triển các cơ sở trí tuệ nhân tạo (Artificial Intelligence – AI) để ứng dụng ngay vào giáo dục, đào tạo nguồn nhân lực, công nghệ tài chính (fintech). Ngoài ra, AI cũng sẽ được đưa vào như một giải pháp công nghệ nhằm giảm chi phí dài hạn cho y tế, quốc phòng và an ninh biên giới. Tôi sẽ nói rõ hơn về các ngành kỹ thuật, bộ môn khoa học, công nghệ nhận được khoản đầu tư lớn sau, nhưng tổng thể thì thông điệp của chính phủ Starmer là muốn tạo ra sự thay đổi cả về lượng và chất để đưa Anh trở thành một cường quốc hàng đầu trong cạnh tranh quốc tế về công nghệ cao và AI. RFI: Cụ thể hơn, Anh Quốc muốn chi tiền vào lĩnh vực nào và đặt ra các mục tiêu cụ thể ra sao? Nguyễn Giang : Về giáo dục, riêng khoản tiền dành cho ứng dụng AI trong giảng dạy và đào tạo nhân công có khả năng sử dụng trí tuệ nhân tạo là 2 tỷ bảng mỗi năm. Anh muốn thúc đẩy dự án AI trong giáo dục từ trung học tới đại học và sau đại học nhằm huấn luyện kỹ năng AI cho hơn 7 triệu nhân công (được hiểu là thế hệ trẻ) và đào tạo 1 triệu kỹ sư chuyên về AI trong 5 năm tới. Ngân sách dành cho y tế công (National Health Service – NHS) là 10 tỷ bảng để hiện đại hóa công nghệ và chuyển đổi sang công nghệ kỹ thuật số từ nay đến 2028-2029. Xin nhắc lại, ngân sách y tế công hiện đã là 29 tỷ bảng, nên khoản đầu tư thêm vào công nghệ cao cho y tế là rất lớn. Luân Đôn cũng sẽ hỗ trợ các công ty khởi nghiệp bằng cách điều chỉnh quy định tài chính để các ngân hàng thử nghiệm AI trong lĩnh vực fintech. Một số ngân hàng như HSBC đã sử dụng AI từ lâu, nhưng tổng thể thì thị trường fintech của Anh đã trở thành một lĩnh vực rất lớn, với hàng nghìn công ty, thu hút hàng tỷ đô la đầu tư, chủ yếu phục vụ doanh nghiệp và thương mại quốc tế, hơn là phục vụ người dân. Chính phủ muốn số hóa dịch vụ khách hàng, triển khai mạnh các ứng dụng ngân hàng (in-bank app) thay thế dịch vụ truyền thống dùng giấy tờ và thư bưu điện. Điều đáng chú ý là chính phủ Anh nói họ sẽ đầu tư vào AI để giải quyết nhanh hơn các hồ sơ xin tỵ nạn, tăng tốc thủ tục trục xuất người trượt tị nạn. Bộ trưởng Tài Chính Rachel Reeves cho biết, chỉ riêng việc nâng cao hiệu quả xử lý giấy tờ cư trú, tị nạn sẽ giúp tiết kiệm ngân sách khoảng 1 tỷ bảng khi chương trình này hoàn tất. Gần 300 triệu bảng cũng sẽ được đầu tư vào Bộ Tư lệnh An Ninh Biên Giới (thành lập năm 2024) và các đơn vị biên phòng của Anh sẽ sử dụng AI để nâng cao hiệu quả trong việc ngăn chặn người nhập cư trái phép. Thêm vào đó, Anh Quốc cũng sẽ tiến hành nghiên cứu chế tạo vũ khí sử dụng AI nhằm đảm bảo an ninh quốc gia và an ninh châu Âu. RFI : Để thực hiện các mục tiêu này, chính phủ Anh sẽ phải làm gì? Chiến lược của họ là gì? Nguyễn Giang : Chiến lược của Anh là “dựa trên vai của những người khổng lồ”. Trong Tuần lễ Công nghệ Luân Đôn, đã có hàng trăm công ty tham dự, gồm các tập đoàn công nghệ hàng đầu thế giới như Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud và NVIDIA. Ngay trong buổi khai mạc, thủ tướng Anh Keir Starmer đã đứng cạnh ông Jensen Huang (Hoàng Nhân Huân), tỷ phú Mỹ gốc Đài Loan, chủ hãng Nvidia. Ông Jensen Huang khen Anh có “hệ sinh thái tuyệt vời cho công nghệ trí tuệ nhân tạo”, nhưng còn thiếu cơ sở hạ tầng. Cụ thể, ông Jensen Huang cho biết Anh có các trường đại học hàng đầu thế giới, các nhà sáng chế, các nhà tư tưởng, và các công ty startup trong môi trường lý tưởng, nhưng thiếu một thứ quan trọng nhất là cơ sở hạ tầng cho AI. Ông cam kết sẽ đầu tư vào lĩnh vực này tại Anh, nhằm đáp ứng sự đón nhận tích cực từ công chúng dự hội nghị London Tech Week. Ngay lập tức, Anh Quốc sẽ dùng 10 nghìn GPU (xử lý đồ họa) của Nvidia để xây dựng một trung tâm dữ liệu lớn, phục vụ hạ tầng AI tại Loughton, Essex, phía Đông Luân Đôn. Tuy nhiên, cách làm của Anh không dựa vào một hoặc hai công ty lớn, mà phân chia thị phần cho nhiều doanh nghiệp của Mỹ, Hà Lan, và các quốc gia khác tham gia. Ví dụ, Vantage Data Centres sẽ xây dựng một trung tâm dữ liệu tại xứ Wales; Latos Data Centres của tỷ phú người Anh Mike Carlin cũng sẽ xây dựng trung tâm ở Wales; tập đoàn Kyndryl thành lập trung tâm tại Liverpool; trong khi Nscale (dùng GPU của Nvidia) sẽ đầu tư 2,5 tỷ USD để phát triển mạng lưới dữ liệu toàn quốc. Tham vọng của Anh là đến năm 2030, sẽ có tới 40 trung tâm dữ liệu chuyên về AI trên khắp đất nước. RFI: Vì sao chính phủ của đảng Lao Động muốn thúc đẩy số hóa và áp dụng trí tuệ nhân tạo vào thời điểm này? Nguyễn Giang : Ở đây chúng ta cần nhìn bức tranh toàn cảnh quốc tế, gồm mối quan hệ Anh – Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và Anh – Hoa Kỳ sau Brexit. Ngoài lý do rõ ràng là AI ngày càng đóng vai trò then chốt trong nền kinh tế và giáo dục, còn có hai vấn đề lớn đặt ra thách thức cho Anh. Một, là thiếu hệ sinh thái hạ tầng tốt cho R&D. Nhiều nhà khoa học Anh đã từng đoạt giải Nobel, sở hữu các phát minh, sáng chế hàng đầu thế giới trong di truyền học, y sinh, điện toán, nhưng thiếu hệ sinh thái để biến các ý tưởng, bằng sáng chế thành sản phẩm thương mại. Nhiều nhà khoa học này buộc phải sang Mỹ, hoặc hợp tác với các đại học, tập đoàn công nghệ của Mỹ để phát triển sản phẩm. Chính sách của Anh nhằm xây dựng các trung tâm công nghệ như Hành lang Oxford-Cambridge nhằm kết nối các đại học danh tiếng, tạo ra sức mạnh về nghiên cứu và đổi mới sáng tạo (critical mass). Trước đó, ngành xe hơi chạy động cơ điện (EV) cũng cần hạ tầng số, vệ tinh dân sự, AI, nhưng tới nay, Anh mới bắt đầu thử nghiệm xe tự lái và dự kiến đến 2027 mới chính thức cho xe tự lái hoạt động trên đường. Hai, là yếu tố địa chính trị. Tháng 2/2025, Pháp khai mạc Hội nghị về Trí tuệ Nhân tạo (AI Summit) và cam kết đầu tư hơn 100 tỷ euro vào AI, mong muốn dẫn đầu khối Liên Âu trong lĩnh vực này. Bruxelles còn hứa sẽ chi 200 tỷ euro cho AI. Trong khi đó, Hoa Kỳ dưới thời Donald Trump muốn bỏ ra hơn 500 tỷ đô la để dẫn đầu cuộc đua AI. Tuy nhiên, cả Anh và Mỹ đều từ chối ký Tuyên bố chung Paris về AI tại Paris vài tháng trước. Như vậy, Luân Đôn đã chọn hướng đi riêng, muốn có chủ quyền về AI (AI sovereignty) và không muốn bị Châu Âu kiểm soát chặt chẽ. Tổng thể, Anh mong muốn có một vị trí vững chắc trong lĩnh vực đổi mới sáng tạo AI toàn cầu – của Mỹ, Trung Quốc và Liên Hiệp Châu Âu. Để đạt được điều đó, Anh Quốc sẽ kết nối với Hoa Kỳ qua các hệ thống cáp dưới biển, tăng cường khả năng tính toán của các trung tâm dữ liệu và mở rộng hợp tác quốc tế trong lĩnh vực AI và công nghệ cao. Trong bức tranh lớn, các ngành công nghệ của Vương quốc Anh đã đạt giá trị thị trường tổng hợp lên tới 1,2 nghìn tỷ đô la vào năm 2025, đứng vị trí số một trong hệ sinh thái công nghệ châu Âu. Tuy nhiên, nếu không tăng cường đầu tư, Anh Quốc sẽ gặp khó khăn cạnh tranh với các quốc gia như Pháp, Đức, Hà Lan, các nước châu Á và Mỹ, Trung Quốc. Năm 2023, Anh đã tổ chức Hội nghị về quản trị toàn cầu của AI tại Bletchley (tham khảo Bletchley Declaration on Frontier AI and AI Governance), nhấn mạnh nhu cầu quản lý, xây dựng khung pháp lý để giảm thiểu các rủi ro do công nghệ AI gây ra. Hiện nay, thái độ của chính giới Luân Đôn đã hướng tới đổi mới, sẵn sàng chấp nhận rủi ro để thúc đẩy sự phát triển của các sản phẩm, kinh tế và tăng trưởng. AI đang được xem là điểm mấu chốt để tạo đà phát triển cho kinh tế Anh trong những năm tới. Khả năng thành công của chiến lược này còn phụ thuộc vào thực tế và còn phải chờ xem.

Le président français se rend à Londres aujourd'hui, pour une visite d'État de trois jours. Une façon de mettre sur pied « une entente cordiale renouvelée » se réjouit le Guardian, après cinq ans marqués par les tensions post-Brexit, durant lesquels, rappelle le site « pas le moindre sommet bilatéral France-Royaume-Uni n'a eu lieu ». Soupir de soulagement pour le Guardian : « heureusement, c'est du passé ». Et à en croire le journal, il faut pour cela remercier le Premier ministre Keir Starmer, qui a forgé avec Emmanuel Macron « une relation de travail rapprochée, afin de renforcer la défense et la sécurité européennes ».  Cette collaboration a jusque-là essentiellement concerné le soutien à l'Ukraine et l'organisation face à la menace russe, mais pas uniquement : le Times britannique indique ainsi que Keir Starmer devrait « exhorter le président français à accepter un accord migratoire "un dedans, un dehors" » : en clair, ramener en France de petits bateaux de migrants pour permettre l'arrivée sur le sol britannique de demandeurs d'asile ayant de la famille au Royaume-Uni. Ce texte pourrait même, veut croire le quotidien, « être la pièce maîtresse » d'un nouvel accord entre les deux pays.  Quoi qu'il en soit, cette visite (la première d'un président français depuis Nicolas Sarkozy en 2008), est « d'abord une façon de célébrer, grâce aux fastes de la monarchie, une amitié retrouvée entre les deux vieux voisins », pointe le Monde, mais aussi, pour Londres, de « renouer avec l'Union européenne sans pour autant relancer le psychodrame d'une adhésion ». Le tout avec un « sous-texte transatlantique » évident, après le « choc » du « retour de Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche (…) particulièrement douloureux pour le Royaume-Uni, » croit savoir le journal, puisque le pays « s'est toujours considéré comme l'héritier d'une "relation spéciale" avec Washington ». Dans ce contexte, reprend le Guardian, « une entente restaurée est, de façon écrasante, dans les intérêts des deux pays, et plus largement de l'Europe toute entière ». Le spectre des droits de douane  « Donald Trump recommence à jouer les Monsieur Taxes », s'agace d'ailleurs le Wall Street Journal tandis que le Figaro s'interroge : est-ce par « goût du suspense » ou dans l' « espoir d'obtenir toujours plus en multipliant les décisions arbitraires » que le président américain « continue son jeu visant à faire plier » ses partenaires ? Quelles que soient ses raisons, il « sait très bien ruiner une bonne humeur économique » juge le Wall Street Journal. Car le chef d'État a décidé, lundi, d'imposer de nouveaux droits de douane, de 25%, contre une douzaine de pays, dont le Japon et la Corée du Sud. « Belle manière de traiter deux proches alliés », ironise le journal, surtout lorsqu'ils sont « dans l'arrière-cour chinoise ». Cette décision va crisper des amis ; mais il est aussi « facile de constater de quelle manière les droits de douane vont faire du mal aux entreprises et consommateurs américains », juge le titre économique.  Sauf que la méthode de Donald Trump pourrait être payante, sans mauvais jeu de mots : à force d'allers-retours, l'Union européenne se montre moins catégorique qu'avant, et la France aussi, constate le Monde, qui rappelle que pour certains ministres, « une augmentation faible des droits de douane peut être acceptée, si et seulement si, sur certains secteurs clés d'exportation français, ils peuvent être réduits ».  D'autres préoccupations en France La « malédiction » de la « dissolution » comme le dit le Figaro, car à partir d'aujourd'hui, le délai constitutionnel d'un an est passé, et Emmanuel Macron peut de nouveau faire tomber le couperet sur l'Assemblée nationale. « Dans l'entourage [du président], on appelle ça pompeusement le "réarmement institutionnel" » raconte le quotidien. Et même si le chef d'État « n'exclut pas totalement de repousser sur le bouton », croit savoir le Soir en Belgique, cette perspective est « la hantise de nombre de députés, qui labourent leur circonscription en cas de nouveau coup de tonnerre, ce qui vide un peu plus les bancs » d'un hémicycle déjà rendu inefficace par sa division. Bref, la sentence du Figaro est sans appel : une dissolution 2.0 n'est « souhaitable pour personne » : sur une scène politique française « dispersée façon puzzle, qui serait assez fou pour en rajouter ? ».

It is just over a year since Keir Starmer's Labour Party won a huge majority and took power in London, but Starmer's political capital is already at a low ebb. It hasn't all been bad: most noticeably here, he has managed to repair the UK's relationship with Ireland after the fractious Brexit years. But he has also handled the Trump administration and the EU with skill. It's at home where he hasn't done so well. Some notable successes - on reducing NHS waiting times - have been overshadowed by a series of u-turns, mishaps and political miscalculations. So what does the electorate make of him, and where does he go from here? London correspondent Mark Paul talks to Hugh. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the final episode of this three-part mini-series, created in partnership with fertilityclinicsabroad.com, Natalie is joined once more by Joanna Jewell, Head of Patient Experience at IVF Media, to demystify the world of egg donation guarantees. Whether you're exploring donor eggs, embryo donation, or refund-based pregnancy guarantees, this episode breaks it all down. Joanna explains how these programs work, what they include, who they're for, and what to ask before you commit. What we discuss: What egg donation programs actually are and what's included The difference between oocyte and blastocyst guarantees What to expect with embryo donation and double donation (egg + sperm) Pregnancy and live birth guarantee programs and the truth behind the fine print Refund guarantees: how they work, what they cost, and how much you could get back Common requirements to qualify for guarantee programs Transparency matters: why it's essential to ask what's included and what's not Additional costs to prepare for: medication, storage fees, testing, and admin Donor availability for different ethnicities and specific features (like red hair) The emotional reality when things don't work even with a “guarantee” What support clinics do (and don't) offer after unsuccessful cycles Why support groups, peer connections, and advocacy matter in your journey Embryo shipping after Brexit: is it still possible to bring material back to the UK?

New proposals to improve water quality in Northern Ireland could prove fatal for pig farming there according to the Ulster Farmers Union. The Nutrients Action Programme aims to reduce agricultural pollution in loughs and rivers and would involve limiting the amount of phosporus and nitrogen that can by spread on the land in slurry. The consultation on the programme has already been extended once and now the UFU says pigs numbers would need to be reduced by as much as 80% if the plans get the go-ahead. Craftsmen are building a new four and half mile dry stone wall in the Cotswolds. Part of one England's biggest road construction projects, the wall will run alongside the new road near Cheltenham. Work started last year and won't be completed until next summer.  All week we're looking at shellfish from lobsters and oysters to mussels. The Shellfish Association describes it as an industry with huge untapped potential but producers are still suffering from the loss of trade to Europe since Brexit as exports account for most of their business.Presenter = Caz Graham Producer = Rebecca Rooney

A world before all the weird things happened. Top tracks from 2015.

C'est l'un des personnages les plus singuliers de la politique britannique : Nigel Farage, 61 ans, ancien banquier et ex-député européen. Tout à droite de l'échiquier politique, il a largement œuvré en faveur du Brexit, puis a pris une pause, pour animer des émissions de radio et participer à des télé-réalités. Mais depuis 2024, il a réussi à se faire élire député, pour le parti nationaliste Reform, sur un programme en large partie tourné sur l'immigration. Un an après les législatives qui l'ont vu entrer au Parlement, reportage à Clacton-on-Sea, là où Nigel Farage s'est fait parachuter. De notre envoyée spéciale de retour de Clacton-on-Sea, Les 25 canards, des alpagas, neuf cochons gambadent dans les champs de la « ferme de Sandy », au nord de Clacton, un espace de zoothérapie pour enfants. L'année dernière, la ferme a failli fermer « C'était très dur. Avant que Nigel Farage ne nous rende visite, nous avions plus de 35 000 euros de dettes. Il a lancé une cagnotte et en un jour, il a récolté près de 22 000 euros pour nous. » Gary et Sandy, les fondateurs : « C'est difficile de savoir vers qui se tourner, et vous ne parvenez jamais jusqu'aux décideurs… à part Farage. » Le couple, qui travaille sept jours sur sept, n'avait jamais voté jusqu'alors : « Je n'avais pas une bonne opinion de lui, jusqu'à ce que je le rencontre. Il m'a fait changer d'avis en nous rendant visite. Il a certaines idées qui ne me plaisent pas, mais tout ça, ce n'est que de la politique. En 40 ans, je n'ai jamais voté, mais il a eu ma voix. » Un « personnage Marmite » Nigel Farage, c'est un « personnage Marmite », du nom de cette pâte de légumes fermentés : on adore ou on déteste. Début 2024, Farage a lancé sa campagne devant le symbole de Clacton, une ville balnéaire délaissée des touristes : le casino sur la jetée. Nigel Brown, directeur de la communication : « Farage, comme Donald Trump, est très bon pour dire aux gens ce qu'ils veulent entendre. À nous, il nous a dit : " je suis une célébrité, n'hésitez pas à m'exploiter ", et il a fait de la publicité à la jetée. Tout ce qu'il nous a promis, il l'a fait : maintenant, l'avenir nous dira si cela porte ses fruits. » Les opposants de Nigel Farage, eux, critiquent ses emplois secondaires, ses voyages à l'étranger et ses positions : eurosceptiques, anti-immigration, anti-islam. Le communicant souligne le paradoxe Farage : « Je n'aime pas ses méthodes, et je pense qu'il désinhibe certains discours problématiques. Mais il bouscule l'ordre établi. » Après un an au pouvoir, les Travaillistes n'ont pas encore réussi à relancer l'économie ni les services publics, alors Reform UK, le parti de Farage mise sur le dégagisme. À Clacton, Dan Casey, élu local de gauche, tente de dissuader les électeurs : « On l'a bien vu quand il était élu au Parlement européen : c'était un véritable clown. Il ne porte aucun intérêt aux gens d'ici. » Mais Nigel Farage semble s'être fixé un objectif : Downing Street, comme un autre « personnage marmite » avant lui, un certain Boris Johnson.  À lire aussiRoyaume-Uni: Nigel Farage, figure emblématique du Brexit, entre au Parlement

SPOILER FREE 0:00 - 24:12 SPOILERS 24:12 - 1:12:50   In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we embark on the quarantined islands and plunge back into the post-apocalyptic world with 28 Years Later (2025), the highly anticipated sequel from Danny Boyle and Alex Garland. Set 28 years after the Rage virus outbreak, this film reinvents the franchise with a tight narrative, sharp themes, and a hauntingly immersive atmosphere. We unpack the evolution of the infected. We explore Jodie Comer's emotionally charged performance as Isla and how mother–son dynamics ground the story's emotional core. We also dig into the film's political undertones including, Brexit symbolism, Covid pandemic responses, gender roles, and the horror of war. With innovative iPhone-enhanced cinematography and a narrative that blends brutal action with thoughtful allegory, 28 Years Later sets the table for a new trilogy, kicking off with this sequel and promising next entries like The Bone Temple (2026). Is this revival a bold reinvention or a fragmented homage? Tune in as we assess its impact on the genre, its emotional resonance, and whether it out grows the legacy of the original.   Follow Us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @horrorhourwiththehannas   Music by Aries Beats - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPpnxLYrzVA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Nick Cohen and historian James Hawes discuss wide range of political topics, focusing primarily on British politics, Brexit, and the rise of right-wing populism. Discussions included the historical context and current state of the Conservative Party, the challenges faced by Labour and the SNP, and the potential long-term implications of demographic changes on political landscapes. James Hawes argues that only liberal populists can counter the threat posed by Nigel Farage and Reform.Brexit's Long-Term Consequences and FailuresJames and Nick discusses the long-term implications and failures of Brexit, highlighting how Farage and other Brexit advocates had been promoting the idea for decades. Both criticise the lack of accountability and the continued influence of Brexit supporters despite the project's evident failures. James expressed optimism for a pro-remain populist leader to challenge Brexit advocates directly, rather than relying on complex economic arguments. He also shared a conversation with a top UK insider predicting the UK's collapse by 2029 due to Keir Starmer's inability to address the mess left by the Tories & BrexitThe Tory Party pickleJames & Nick discuss the historical and current dire state of the Conservative Party, highlighting its long history of populism and sectarianism. They argue that the party's true nature is being revealed through its alignment with Farage and its anti-migrant stance, which James compares to 19th-century Tory behaviour.Farage's Rise and threat to the UKThe discussion focuses on British politics, particularly Farage's rise and the potential for a shift towards far-right governance. James argues that Farage success in England will re-energise the SNP & inevitably speed up the UK's break-up. Both express concern about the working-class appeal of Farage's populism and discuss the perception of left-wing politicians as communists by some conservatives.Demographic Shifts and Political ImplicationsThe discussion focused on demographic challenges and political implications, with Nick and James exploring how an aging population and ironically more financially secure voters are more likely to vote for Farage and his brand of nut-job populist extremism, while younger generations face difficulties accessing housing and other opportunities. James argues that a more liberal -leftist brand of populism - with policies such as I.D. cards and German-like tests for trades people - might help counter the poison and certain chaos of Farageism.Read all about it!James Hawes @jameshawes2 is a historian and author of a novel and books such as including The Shortest History of Germany and The Shortest History on EnglandNick Cohen's @NichCohen4 latest Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.

As Labour rebels appear to have forced concessions from Keir Starmer over welfare this week, former Conservative MP Steve Baker joins James Heale to reflect on his own time as a rebel, and to provide some advice to Labour MPs. Steve, an MP for 14 years and a minister under Theresa May, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, tells James about the different rebellions he was a part of (from Brexit to Covid), explains how to organise a successful one and reveals how he has lost close friends when he has made the decision to compromise.He also blames Labour's problems on their ‘bombs not benefits' approach, explains why the current welfare rebellion demonstrates that ‘the facts of life are Conservative' and argues that it has been a mistake for the Conservatives not the support Labour's original approach to reducing the winter fuel allowance.Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Megan McElroy.

Right then, strap in Trawlers and let's raise a lukewarm pint of Champagne to the anniversary of the Brexit referendum - because nothing says “taking back control” like spiralling food prices and passport queues longer than a Glastonbury toilet line. Then it's over to Labour HQ, where the party that once marched for peace now wants to slap a terrorist label on Palestine Action. Because apparently, protesting arms deals is just not cricket.Meanwhile, the welfare bill rebellion gave us a rare glimpse of backbench backbone - blink and you might've missed it. And finally, Reform UK's Robin Hood policy has landed... promising to rob from the rich and give to, well, the rich. Expect right-wing pundits and their sheep to gobble up the policy as they read the headlines, but not much else. Then a quick scoot over to New York where a left-wing candidate offered left-wing policies to left-wing voters…and actually won. Meanwhile, in Labour HQ, there's probably a task force being assembled to investigate this dangerous correlation between principled politics and electoral success. Expect a report by 2031, just in time to miss the point again.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcastPatreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawlTwitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastBlueSkyhttps://bsky.app/profile/thetrawl.bsky.socialCreated and Produced by Jemma Forte & Marina PurkissEdited by Max Carrey

On this week's show, Julia, Dana, and Steve return to the Rage Virus-infected world first created by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland two decades ago. They talk about 28 Years Later and what the zombie movie sequel has to say about now. A lot it turns out: COVID, Brexit, human mortality, and more. Next, they grapple with the media phenomenon that is Alex Cooper—the spunky and sexually frank host of the blockbuster podcast Call Her Daddy— by discussing the recent documentary about her rise, Call Her Alex. Finally, they analyze the loping, charming, sister-rock appeal of Haim's new album I quit. In an exclusive Slate Plus segment, the hosts spoil the ending of 28 Years Laters and get into all the film's twists that make it such a surprising, interesting ride. Endorsements: Dana: More Haim, specifically their 2020 Tiny Desk concert performed on Zoom. Steve: The underappreciated band The Cry. And if you like that, more music from their Manchester-based record label Factory Records. Julia:  The charming hang of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast. Learn more about your ad choices.

The last time acclaimed writer-director Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Civil War, Annihilation) appeared on Script Apart, he told Al about his desire to quit directing temporarily and focus on writing – you know, like in the early days of his career. Well, it doesn't get much more like those early days than returning to the blood-soaked quarantined Britain he imagined two decades ago, with a director who he shared an incredibly fruitful partnership with around the turn of the century.28 Years Later, which hit cinemas on Friday, sees Alex team up once more with Danny Boyle – the filmmaker with whom he made The Beach and Sunshine, as well as a 2002 zombie horror that redefined the genre. This sequel, however, is no retread of the film that sent a shiver through Britain's spine. It's a deeply contemplative meditation on Britain, death and how history is remembered and misremembered. The film stars Alfie Williams as Spike, a boy living in a protected tidal island community off the coast of Northumberland, who leads his mother, played by Jodie Comer, on a dangerous quest onto the mainland in search of a doctor to cure a mysterious ailment. What follows is not what many fans expected, in all the best ways.What you're about to hear is a spoiler-filled conversation delving deep into the influence of Brexit on the film. We dissect that ending and its allusions to a disgraced figure from British pop culture history. Also explored: the origins of the Alpha zombies, the inspiration behind Ralph Fiennes' Kelson character, and Alex's original draft of a 28 Years Later movie, which saw Chinese special forces infiltrate Britain in search of the lab where the rage virus began.

MPs have voted – by a narrow 23-vote margin – in favour of legalising assisted dying. Bizarrely, the 51.9 to 48.1 per cent breakdown is the exact same as the 2016 referendum result, although hopefully this issue doesn't divide the Labour party in the same way that Brexit did for the Tories.The whole process is far from ‘Parliament at its best', as it has often been claimed. Despite hours of passionate and emotional debate, key concerns about the drafting of the bill forced some who would naturally back assisted dying to oppose it. The overwhelming feeling is that a private member's bill was not the right forum for this kind of legislation.So what comes next? The bill will now pass to the House of Lords, after which comes the business of putting the measures into practice. This raises a multitude of problems for the Labour government, as it must now decide, for example, whether the responsibility will fall on the NHS or private doctors; who will pay for it; and what legal protections will be given to doctors and nurses. Other key questions remain: did Keir Starmer break a voting pact with David Lammy? And how could the decision to go against the party impact ambitious members of the shadow cabinet?Lucy Dunn, James Hale and Rajiv Shah, former adviser in No. 10, discuss.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
