Iată concluzia unei anchete a ziarului francez Le Monde.  De la invadarea Ucrainei, se pare că sute de cetățeni ruși au obținut cetățenia română în mod fraudulos. Tendința pare inexorabilă: în România, satele se golesc de locuitori. Totuși, mica localitate Vârfu Câmpului, din nordul țării, aproape de granița cu Ucraina, și-a văzut în mod curios populația dublându-se în decurs de un deceniu, crescând de la 3.420 de locuitori în 2011 la peste 7.000 în 2021, scrie Le Monde. În noiembrie 2024, zeci de raiduri au scos la iveală escrocheria: nu economie înfloritoare, nu baby boom, ci aproape 10.000 de cetățeni din Moldova, Ucraina și Rusia obținuseră în mod fraudulos acte de identitate românești, stabilindu-și adrese fictive în Vârfu Câmpului. Aceste documente false, despre care se presupune că ar fi fost emise în schimbul mitei, au fost produse ani de zile de către funcționari de la două oficii de stare civilă, cu complicitatea locuitorilor din zonă. Un fenomen extins Vârfu Câmpului nu este singura localitate afectată. În 2025, au avut loc alte raiduri în județele de graniță Botoșani și Suceava, precum și în București. În toamnă, Primăria sectorului 6 București a anulat eliberarea a 68 de acte de identitate românești. Potrivit unui comunicat al primăriei, multe dintre certificatele de cetățenie s-au dovedit false, deoarece nu fuseseră emise oficial de Autoritatea Națională pentru Cetățenie (ANC), singura instituție competentă. În total, autoritățile estimează că peste 18.700 de cetățeni ai fostei URSS au reședințe fictive în România, dintre care unii au obținut pașapoarte românești În investigația sa, Le Monde îl intervievează pe avocatul Denis Buruian, al cărui cabinet se află în București. Vorbitor de limba rusă, el se ocupă de 34 de cazuri de cetățeni ruși cărora le-au fost revocate actele de identitate românești de către primăria sectorului 6 București. El spune că ”majoritatea își doreau un pașaport românesc pentru a evita sancțiunile și a-și putea continua activitatea în afara Rusiei”, adăugând că tinerii tind să se stabilească „în Dubai”, în timp ce persoanele în vârstă „preferă Franța”. ”O viață prosperă în UE cu acte românești” Deținerea unui pașaport românesc a devenit de interes pentru ruși, odată ce Uniunea Europeană a înăsprit controalele privind cererile de vize de la începutul invaziei la scară largă asupra Ucrainei în 2022. Rețele criminale nici măcar nu se ascund: pe rețelele de socializare, reclamele care vizează vorbitorii de limbă rusă pentru obținerea „cetățeniei europene” sunt înfloritoare. Agențiile promit o viață prosperă în UE datorită pașaportului românesc, contra unor sume cuprinse între 4.000 și 7.000 de euro, cu reduceri speciale pentru perioada Crăciunului. Aceste agenții susțin că activitățile lor sunt perfect legale, dar, în realitate, folosesc rețele ucrainene și moldovenești, cu ajutorul unor oficiali români, dintre care unii au făcut obiectul unor anchete penale în trecut. Rețelele profită de legea care le permite cetățenilor din Ucraina și republica Moldova, care au avut un strămoș cetățean al României să obțină pașaportul românesc. Aceste rețele criminale pot „inventa” genealogii false și pot susține, de exemplu, că bunica cuiva s-a născut în Cernăuți, Ucraina, sau Chișinău, Moldova - teritorii care au făcut anterior parte din România. Aceste documente falsificate sunt apoi certificate de autoritățile române. În cazuri mai recente, escrocii au ocolit obstacolele creând direct un certificat de cetățenie fals. Operațiunea  durează doar câteva săptămâni, contra unui cost de zeci de mii de euro. Potrivit parchetului, ar fi suficient un funcționar neatent sau care închide ochii, o „lacună”, pentru ca escrocii să exploateze „slăbiciunile umane, legislative și organizaționale”.   Material adaptat după articolul din Le Monde  Intertitlurile aparțin redacției Ascultați rubrica ”Eurocronica”, cu Ovidiu Nahoi, în fiecare zi, de luni până vineri, de la 8.45 și în reluare duminica, de la 15.00, numai la RFI România

Die premier van KwaZulu-Natal, Thami Ntuli, sê die regering het begin om met die boubedryf oor voldoening aan regulasies te praat nadat 'n tempel in Durban ineengestort het. Afriforum se bewering dat ten minste twee joernaliste deur die regering betaal word om die burgerregte-organisasie te diskretiteer, laat die wenkbroue lig. Die SAKP is onseker oor sy alliansie met die ANC. Australië se eerste minister Anthony Albanese sê sy regering sal alles doen wat nodig is om antisemitisme uit te roei ná die skietaanval op Bondi Beach in Sydney.

As 2025 draws to a close, we reflect on the key political events that defined South Africa. The Government of National Unity endured amid intense negotiations and disputes over budget and policy differences, following the ANC's historic loss of majority in 2024. President Cyril Ramaphosa hosted the landmark G20 summit in Johannesburg, the first on African soil, though US President Donald Trump boycotted it, citing unfounded claims of white genocide. Explosive revelations from Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi dominated headlines, leading to the Madlanga Commission probing systemic corruption, political interference and criminal infiltration in law enforcement. The SACP resolved to contest future elections independently of the Tripartite Alliance. Jacob Zuma's MK Party faced internal turmoil with suspensions, expulsions, and allegations of recruiting South Africans for the Russia-Ukraine war. Meanwhile, EFF leader Julius Malema was convicted on firearm charges for discharging a rifle at a 2018 rally. For expert analysis on these stories and their implications for 2026, Elvis Presslin spoke to political analyst Dr. Dale McKinley, an independent writer, researcher, and lecturer

President Cyril Ramaphosa het gewaarsku elemente in die regering van nasionale eenheid probeer om Suid-Afrika se hervormingsagenda te verswak. Dit volg op die DA wat 'n punt daarvan maak om hof toe te gaan met beleidsrigtings waarmee hulle nie saamstem nie, insluitend die Nasionale Gesondheidsversekering-finansieringsplan en swart bemagtiging. Ramaphosa sê die RNE is 'n taktiese ingreep wat nie die ANC se langtermynstrategie vir fundamentele transformasie verander nie:

Cyril Ramaphosa remains one of the most skilful politicians in the ANC, analysts say, despite party turmoil. His ability to manage the Government of National Unity (GNU) and counter critics has kept him firmly in power, at least for now. Leadership decisions are heavily influenced by party power brokers and the intellectual capital that once guided its strategy has largely dissipated. Susan Booysen says: “He survived quite a few assaults and he's countering the GNU critics quite consistently. Playing the renewal cards very clearly as if the fact that the ANC has dipped below 50% has not happened under his rule — that was one that we've totally overlooked — and how he's really made the coalition and GNU as if this is a great achievement.” Bongani Ngqulunga adds that Ramaphosa has often been underestimated. “He's a lot more skilful politician than sometimes we give him credit for. It is not in the interest of the contenders — those who want to succeed him — to see him leave right now. I don't think we have someone powerful enough in the ANC to cobble together a coalition that could make that person [president].” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Until the South African Communist Party and African National Congress have reached an agreement on the Communist party's decision to contest the 2026 local government elections alone, SACP members must recuse themselves from ANC elections structures. This was just one of the resolutions of the ANC's 5th National General Council that concluded on Thursday. The SACP's decision concerns the ANC as many of its members have dual membership to both parties with implications on which party to vote and campaign for. To take a deeper look at the state of the tripartite alliance following the ANC's 5th National General Council, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to SACP Spokesperson Mbulelo Mandlana and Political Analyst from the University of the Free State, Prof. Sethulego Matebesi...

ANC-president Cyril Ramaphosa sê die 2026 munisipale verkiesing sal ʼn belangrike toets wees om te bepaal tot watter mate die party daarin geslaag het om die kieserskorps se ondersteuning en vertroue te hernu. Hy het gisteraand die slotrede gelewer by die vyfde Nasionale Algemene Raad in Boksburg, Gauteng. Ramaphosa sê om te wen, moet die ANC die mees toegewyde, eerlike en bevoegde kandidate benoem:

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Kommunisteparty waarsku hy sal enige poging om dubbele SAKP- en ANC-lidmaatskap af te skaf, teenstaan. Dit volg nadat die ANC se nasionale uitvoerende komitee dubbele lidmaatskap verwerp het omdat die SAKP onafhanklik aan verkiesings wil deelneem. SAKP-woordvoerder, Mbulelo Mandlana, sê enige poging om dubbele lidmaatskap te ondermyn sal die politieke raamwerk wat die nasionale hervormingsprojek bymekaar hou, fundamenteel verander:

Value investor Piet Viljoen breaks down Mr Price's German gamble, Spar's costly EU exit, Famous Brands' offshore stumble, and why HCI's buybacks make far more sense than chasing “expensive fairy tales” abroad. From Eskom's industrial rescue talks to Transnet's slow turnaround and the ANC's political bluster, Viljoen gives Alec Hogg a brutally honest roadmap for where South Africans should – and shouldn't – put their money.

Die ANC se sekretaris-generaal, Fikile Mbalula, sê die party se verliese in die verkiesing was nie per ongeluk nie, maar is veroorsaak deur korrupsie, staatskaping, mislukte dienslewering en ekonomiese stagnasie. Hy het gister die party se middeltermyn-verslag by die vyfde Nasionale Algemene Raad in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni, gelewer. Mbalula sê die terugslag wat die ANC in 2024 se nasionale en provinsiale verkiesings gely het, was erger in KwaZulu-Natal en Gauteng:

President Cyril Ramaphosa sê idees van wit oppergesag en valse bewerings van wit vervolging hou 'n bedreiging in vir Suid-Afrika se eenheid, soewereiniteit en internasionale betrekkinge. Ramaphosa het tydens die ANC-konferensie in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni, 'n beroep gedoen op wêreldwye pogings om hierdie mites om te keer. Hy het bygevoeg dat Suid-Afrika, te midde van onderhandelings met die VSA oor handel, ook sy uitvoermarkte diversifiseer:

John Maytham is joined by Stephen Friedman, political analyst and one of South Africa’s most respected political thinkers. He unpacks whether the talk of a plot to remove Ramaphosa has substance, what the NGC can — and cannot — actually do, and why the outcomes of this gathering still matter for governance, economic confidence, and political stability.

Die DA in die Wes-Kaap het die nasionale ANC regering gekritiseer nadat die SAPD se misdaadstatistieke vir April tot September 2 308 moorde en meer as 133 000 ernstige misdade aandui. Benedicta van Minnen van die party sê die nasionale regering het versuim om polisiëring voldoende te befonds, wat gemeenskappe kwesbaar laat. Van Minnen sê die DA doen 'n beroep op 'n hersiening van SAPD-leierskap en afgewentelde provinsiale polisiëringsmagte om veiligheid te verbeter.

AfriForum sê Suid-Afrika se diplomatieke krisis met Amerika kon vermy gewees het. Uitvoerende hoof Kallie Kriel het ANC-leiers gekritiseer omdat hulle oplossings geïgnoreer het, die Iranse ambassadeur genooi het en anti-Amerikaanse verklarings gemaak het. Hy vra beslissende optrede teen plaasmoorde en eiendomsregte, insluitend die veroordeling van die "Kill the Boer"-dreunsang. Kriel sê voorkeur moet gegee word aan plaasmoorde en dele van die Onteieningswet moet hersien word om eiendom te beskerm en bestendigheid te bevorder:

In a “devastating” night for the African National Congress (ANC), the party suffered by-election losses in the Eastern Cape, the Northern Cape, and in KwaZulu-Natal. In this edition of The Electoral Road Show, analyst Wayne Sussman speaks to Chris Steyn about the night's results: In Mandeni, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MKP) took the ward with over 60% of the vote with the ANC falling from 65% to 30%. In Douglas (Siyancuma), the ANC suffered a shock defeat with its vote share falling from 56% to 25% as an independent took 47% of the vote. In the Kou-Kamma municipality, the ANC lost another ward to the Patriotic Alliance (PA) when it grabbed 44% of the vote, up from 7%. On top of these losses, the ANC also fared poorly in President Cyril Ramaphosa's home ward, Ward 90 Johannesburg, where the Democratic Alliance (DA) vote share shot up from 70% to 97%, and the ANC's fell from 11% to 3%. The party was hit with another setback in Gauteng ANC heartland, where its vote share fell from 76% to 49% in Khutsong on the West Rand. It also suffered a big drop in Pellsrus, Jeffreys Bay, from 44% to 25%. And in another slide for the ANC, this time in Makana, formerly Grahamstown - where the ANC had been rock solid - it went down from 67% to 50%. Here, the DA were the big winners, surging from 1% of the vote to 26%. Sussman lays out the various coalition options now open to the ANC.

A growing number of people are exploring hearing help earlier, and LXE Hearing believes there is a place for devices that bridge the gap between everyday earbuds and traditional hearing aids. In a detailed discussion, LXE Chief Commercial Officer Brian Maguire explains how the newly formed company—created from the merger of Lexie, hearX, and Eargo—is blending strong hardware engineering with deep software expertise to develop more accessible hearing solutions. Maguire describes LXE's portfolio, from diagnostics and screening tools to OTC devices, and emphasizes the group's shared mission: helping people better understand their hearing and giving them approachable, affordable entry points into amplification.The conversation centers on the Lexie H1 hearing buds, LXE's new earbud-style hearing device designed for situational use. Maguire explains that while traditional CIC and RIC hearing aids remain their core offerings, a growing group of consumers wants an option that boosts hearing only when needed—especially in noisy environments—without the commitment of full-time wear. He highlights the H1's dual purpose: it functions as a high-quality, everyday wireless earbud with streaming and ANC, but also incorporates hearing amplification with preset programs, adjustable gain through the app, reduced occlusion, and features like directivity and noise reduction for speech-in-noise challenges.Maguire stresses that the H1 isn't meant to replace all-day devices but to complement them, helping newcomers try amplification sooner and giving existing hearing aid users a tool for specific listening situations. With flexible support, a 45-day risk-free trial, and a $299 price point, he says LXE hopes the H1 will encourage more people to take their first steps toward hearing improvement—at a time when awareness and comfort with ear-worn tech are rapidly increasing.Lexie H1 Hearing Buds press release: https://hearinghealthmatters.org/hearing-technologies/2025/lexie-hearing-h1-hearing-buds/Be sure to subscribe to our channel for the latest episodes each week and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn, Instagram and X.- https://x.com/WeekinHearing- https://www.instagram.com/thisweekinhearing/- https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearingVisit us at: https://hearinghealthmatters.org/thisweek/

Die leier van die Patriotic Alliance en minister van sport, Gayton McKenzie, sê dit sou 'n groot fout wees van die ANC om president Cyril Ramaphosa te verwyder. Dit volg op toenemende gerugte rondom sy moontlike bedanking ná hierdie naweek se G20-leiersberaad. McKenzie het op Facebook Live gesê inflasie wat op die laagste in jare is en verbeterde werkskepping in die derde kwartaal toon die regering van nasionale eenheid stuur die land in die regte rigting:

Die ANC doen 'n beroep op die parlement om die Beskermingswetsontwerp vir Verklikkers te bespoedig om die veiligheid van informante te verseker. Die party sê die beskerming van verklikkers is noodsaaklik om korrupsie uit te roei, wetstoepassing te beskerm en staatsinstellings te versterk. Die sekretaris-generaal van die ANC, Fikile Mbalula, het tydens 'n media inligtingsessie oor die uitkomste van die nasionale uitvoerende komitee gesê die beskerming van verklikkers sal help om korrupsie en kriminele aktiwiteite te ontbloot terwyl dit aanspreeklikheid binne die regering en polisie versterk:

Cosatu verwelkom die voormalige minister van Openbare Ondernemings, Malusi Gigaba, se gewilligheid om sy volle samewerking aan die howe en wetstoepassing te bied. Hy het Dinsdag in die Palm Ridge-landdroshof verskyn op aanklagte van korrupsie wat verband hou met Transnet. Cosatu se woordvoerder, Matthew Parks, sê gegewe Gigaba se senior leiersposisies in die parlement, asook dat hy 'n lid van die ANC se Nasionale Uitvoerende Komitee is, is dit noodsaaklik dat die party se opsystaan-resolusie sonder versuim toegepas word:

Le 26 novembre 2025, c'est la sortie de Zootopie 2 au cinéma. L'occasion rêvée pour parler des animaux animés les plus célèbres de tous les temps, ceux du panthéon Disney. Après le décès de Walt Disney en 1966, le studio connaît 20 années de déclin, caractérisées par la création de films plus expérimentaux et sombres (Bernard et Bianca, Rox et Rouky, Basile détective privé...), qui en conséquence désenchantent le public, en particulier les familles habituées à des longs-métrages lumineux inspirés de contes de fées et de livres pour enfants teints d'une certaine douceur. C'est seulement en 1989, avec La Petite Sirène, que Disney connaît un "Second Âge d'Or (le précédent datant des années 30-40 avec notamment le 1er "Classique Disney" Blanche-Neige), qui durera 10 ans. Un période de renaissance et de prospérité durant laquelle sont sortis parmi les dessins animés les plus renommés de l'Histoire, à l'instar du Roi Lion (1994). Les décennies suivant le début de cet Âge d'Or sont chacune marquées par des évènements ou des démarches inédites : Dans les années 90 : sortie de Toy Story (1995), premier film entièrement réalisé en images de synthèses et premier long-métrage Pixar, société rachetée par Disney en 2006 à l'origine de nombreux films désormais cultes (Monstres et Cie, Le Monde de Nemo, WALL-E...)Dans les années 2000 : Disney continue de créer des œuvres originales, mais réalise essentiellement des suites de Classiques d'animation (Bambi 2, Le Livre de la Jungle 2, Le Roi Lion 3...) Dans les années 2010 : Disney abandonne définitivement l'animation en 2D (le dernier film en date réalisé avec cette technique étant La Princesse et la Grenouille sorti en 2009). Quelques histoires originales pur-Disney (Vaiana, Zootopie...) comme Pixar (Vice-versa, Coco..) voient le jour et certains connaissent un succès non démenti encore aujourd'hui à l'internationale (La Reine des Neiges). Et, surtout, la société multiplie à la fin de la décennie dans la fabrication de live-actions, des films en prises de vues réelles reprenant les histoires d'anciens classiques. _______

Die voorsitter van die ANC se nasionale uitvoerende komitee vir ekonomiese transformasie, Zuko Godlimpi, sê die DA se beswaar teen swartbemagtiging is gebaseer op vals inligting. Godlimpi het tydens die vergadering van die nasionale uitvoerende komitee in Ekurhuleni gepraat. Hy het reageer op onlangse druk deur die DA om swart ekonomiese bemagtiging te vervang met sy eie Wetsontwerp op Ekonomiese Insluiting vir Almal:

Die ANC se sekretaris-generaal, Fikile Mbalula, sê die regering het swak gekommunikeer oor die 153 Palestynse asielsoekers. Hy het tydens die ANC se nasionale uitvoerende komiteevergadering gepraat en gesê veral die departement van binnelandse sake onder leiding van die DA se minister, Leon Schreiber, het versuim om burgers doeltreffend in te lig oor hierdie kwessie:

Veteran ANC leader Mathews Phosa, a former ANC Treasurer-general and Mpumalanga premier, tells Peter Bruce in this edition of Podcasts from the Edge that he doesn't take talk of renewal in the ANC seriously. It's spin, he says. "The election of 2024 showed that (the ANC) has died from 57% to 40%. If you think that was bad, as we stand now it is going to go down to 26% unless something traumatic happens ... there's too much spin. When you say want to renew, what are you renewing? You're not going to take rotten eggs and think that tomorrow they'll make a good omelet.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss the AirPods Pro 3 and the future of the AirPods lineup as a whole. Apple introduced the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ in September, featuring a more refined design, improved active noise cancelation (ANC), enhanced sound quality, foam ear tips in five sizes, and heart rate monitoring for workouts. After using the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ for two months, we talk through our experience with the noticeably different fit, improved ANC, and more. We also discuss the reports from some users who are experiencing an ongoing static issue with the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌. Apple does seem to be replacing affected units for customers who are bothered by the noise, which appears to be audible when ANC is active but no sound is playing. Other users have been hearing a high-pitched whine when on airplanes, which could be related to pressure. Not all ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ units are experiencing the issue, but it sounds like Apple is investigating. Looking to the future, another version of the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ are expected to launch next year featuring infrared cameras for gesture controls and improved Vision Pro integration. This model is likely to be a more premium offering available alongside the current model at a higher price point. Apple is believed to be working on a next-generation H3 chip for future AirPods models. The AirPods 5 are in development, with two models just like the current version. The AirPods Max 2 are also in the works, touting a lighter design and likely a newer chip with features that are now noticeably absent from the device such as adaptive transparency and Siricommands. They are reportedly due to enter mass production in 2027 at the earliest. Connect with quality therapists and mental health experts who specialize in you at https://www.rula.com/mac #rulapod

Tyler considers Winnie and Nelson: Portrait of a Marriage one of the best books of the last decade, and its author Jonny Steinberg one of the most underrated writers and thinkers—in North America, at least. Steinberg's particular genius lies in getting uncomfortably close to difficult truths through immersive research—spending 350 hours in police ride-alongs, years studying prison gangs and their century-old oral histories, following a Somali refugee's journey across East Africa—and then rendering what he finds with a novelist's emotional insight. Tyler and Jonny discuss why South African police only feel comfortable responding to domestic violence calls, how to fix policing, the ghettoization of crime, how prison gangs regulate behavior through century-old rituals, how apartheid led to mass incarceration and how it manifested in prisons, why Nelson Mandela never really knew his wife Winnie and the many masks they each wore, what went wrong with the ANC, why the judiciary maintained its independence but not its quality, whether Tyler should buy land in Durban, the art scene in Johannesburg, how COVID gave statism a new lease on life, why the best South African novels may still be ahead, his forthcoming biography of Cecil Rhodes, why English families weren't foolish to move to Rhodesia in the 1920s, where to take an ideal two-week trip around South Africa, and more.
