This afternoon, the Home Secretary will set out in the House of Commons her proposed reforms to the asylum system. The headline changes proposed by Shabana Mahmood have been well briefed in the weekend press: refugees will have temporary status and be required to reapply to remain in Britain every two-and-a-half years; those arriving would have to wait 20 years before they can apply for permanent settlement; and countries that refuse to take back migrants will be threatened with visa bans – Angola, Namibia and the Democratic Republic of Congo are among those likely to be initially punished. Is she the one to finally take on the migration crisis?Lucy Dunn speaks to Tim Shipman and James Heale.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

A tensão subiu entre o Japão e a China, após declarações da primeira-ministra japonesa sobre Taiwan. “O Japão continua a acreditar que as relações com a China se regem por relações diplomáticas com base no direito internacional, mas não sabemos se declarações destemperadas podem fazer descarrilar os comboios que querem andar à boa velocidade”, explica Nuno Rogeiro. Na Europa, o investimento na defesa continua a dar que falar. A Alemanha e outros países equacionam o regresso do serviço militar obrigatório. Na Ucrânia, após ataques intensos na capital, prevê-se mais um inverno complicado. Há também um escândalo de corrupção que abala o governo e pode minar a confiança internacional no apoio militar. Nas celebrações dos 50 anos de independência de Angola, o discurso do presidente João Lourenço, na presença de Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, tem gerado polémica devido ao comentário sobre a escravatura. “Esqueceu-se de tocar num dos grandes problemas angolanos: a desigualdade social”, analisa o comentador. Estes e outros temas da atualidade internacional são analisado neste episódio do Leste/Oeste em podcast. O programa foi emitido na SIC Notícias a 16 de novembro.

Resumen de noticias de LA NACION de la mañana del viernes 14 de noviembre de 2025

Na edição desta semana destacamos as comemorações do 50.º aniversário da independência de Angola, da presença da Interpol em Moçambique para uma operação de combate a vários fenómenos criminais. Um olhar ainda sobre a seca severa que se vide neste país. A campanha eleitoral na Guiné-Bissau está marcada pelos ataques pessoais entre os candidatos. Em Cabo Verde para além da discussão no Parlamento do Orçamento vamos dar-lhe conta ainda da entrega por parte da UE de dois barcos semi-rígidos. Uma efeméride marcou a actualidade no continente africano esta semana. No passado dia 11 de Novembro, Angola comemorou os cinquenta anos da sua independência. Ao longo desta semana a RFI fez o diagnóstico do país, um olhar sobre o passado, o presente e os anseios em relação ao futuro... são cinco episódios especiais e que pode ouvir aqui. No discurso proferido durante as comemorações do 50.º aniversário da independência, na Praça da República, em Luanda, o presidente angolano João Lourenço disse estar “ciente de que há ainda muito por fazer no país”. Mas o dia de comemorações dos 50 anos da independência de Angola ficou marcado pela concentração de vários defensores dos direitos humanos que através da voz da activista Yared Bumba consideram que o país “está em total desgraça”.   Na actualidade moçambicana destacamos esta semana a seca severa que se faz sentir em três distritos da província de Gaza, no Sul do país, devido à escassez de chuvas. Uma situação que resulta do fenómeno El Niño, e que afecta pouco mais de 19 mil pessoas e que é considerada “grave” pelo porta-voz do Instituto Nacional de Gestão e Redução de Risco de Desastres INGD, Bonifácio Cardoso. Ainda em Moçambique o Ministro do Interior, Paulo Chachine, confirmou a presença de agentes da Interpol numa operação no país. O responsável ministerial refere que “esta missão visa o combate a vários fenómenos criminais, nomeadamente o tráfico de seres humanos, tráfico de drogas e imigração ilegal”.   Na Guiné-Bissau, esta semana, a campanha eleitoral para as legislativas e presidenciais ficou marcada pela intensificação do contacto com os eleitores por parte dos principais candidatos à presidência... e os ataques pessoais entre eles começaram a ouvir-se.   Em Cabo Verde o governo prometeu, no Parlamento, um orçamento do Estado para 2026 com “estabilidade macroeconómica e atenção social”. A proposta de orçamento para 2026 esteve em discussão na semana passada e prevê um crescimento de 6% e uma taxa de desemprego de 7,3%. Para o primeiro-ministro, Ulisses Correia e Silva, “este orçamento tem como objectivo colocar as pessoas no centro da acção governativa”. A actualidade cabo-verdiana ficou marcada pela entrega por parte da União Europeia de dois barcos semi-rígidos para ajudar o país no combate a pirataria, o tráfico ilícito, a pesca ilegal e outras ameaças transnacionais. A entrega acontece no âmbito do projecto de Apoio à Segurança Marítima Integrada da África Ocidental, financiado pela União Europeia em 10 milhões de euros e foi considerado pela Ministra de Estado e da Defesa Nacional, Janine Lélis, “um passo significativo no reforço da segurança marítima”.

Em Moçambique, André Mulungo, pesquisador do CDD, fala à DW sobre o esquema de corrupção "paga para pagar". Oleiros revoltados com mineradoras em Moatize reivindicam indemnizações com atraso de mais de sete anos. Neste jornal, fique a saber como as perspetivas renovadas para o petróleo no Delta do Níger causam preocupação entre os locais.

Guiné-Bissau: Campanha eleitoral entrou hoje no 13. dia. O Presidente em exercício é o candidato com mais recursos e visibilidade. Organização Friends of Angola esteve aqui na Alemanha, no chamado "World Liberty Congress”. Acabou o mais longo “shutdown” (portanto da paralisação financeira governamental) dos EUA.

No episódio desta semana do podcast Diplomatas, Teresa de Sousa e Carlos Gaspar olharam para as comemorações dos 50 anos da independência de Angola e analisaram o contexto geopolítico da época, o papel desempenhado por Portugal, o processo de descolonização de África e a evolução da governação do Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola (MPLA), com José Eduardo dos Santos e João Lourenço. A jornalista do PÚBLICO e o investigador do IPRI-NOVA reflectiram ainda sobre o estado do multilateralismo no âmbito da 30.ª Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre Alterações Climáticas (COP30), a decorrer em Belém do Pará, no Brasil, e da 4.ª Cimeira União Europeia-Comunidade dos Estados da América Latina e Caraíbas (UE-CELAC), realizada em Santa Marta, na Colômbia. Para o final do programa ficou a discussão sobre o caso do documentário da BBC em que partes diferentes de um discurso que Donald Trump fez em 2021 foram apresentadas de forma a dar a entender que o actual Presidente dos Estados Unidos estava a incentivar abertamente os seus apoiantes a invadirem o Capitólio, no dia 6 de Janeiro, para travarem a certificação da vitória de Joe Biden na eleição de 2020.

No dia 11 de Novembro de 1975 foi proclamada a independência de Angola por Agostinho Neto, do MPLA, por Holden Roberto, da FNLA, e por Jonas Savimbi, da UNITA. Nesse mesmo dia começava a guerra civilSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

50 anos depois da independência, Angola é muito mais do que a herança da história que partilha com Portugal. A Alice Vilaça conversou com 2 portugueses que conhecem bem Angola: a Ana Clarisse e o Ivo Campos.

Há 50 anos, Agostinho Neto proclamou a independência de Angola. À DW, analistas consideram que o país continuará com os meus problemas e com mais custos. Em Moçambique, os professores ameaçam boicotar os exames finais do ensino público, se o Governo não pagar as horas extraordinárias dos últimos 3 anos. Fique a saber como o Gana está a reduzir a sua pegada de carbono com soluções indígenas.

Dez mil convidados e 45 delegações estrangeiras assistiram hoje, em Luanda, ao ato central das comemorações do 50.º aniversário da independência de Angola.

Sokker: Bafana Bafana se afrigter, Hugo Broos, sê hy hoop op ʼn oortuigende oorwinning teen Zambië omdat hy hul plek op die FIFA-ranglys wil verbeter. Saterdag se internasionale vriendskaplike wedstryd in die Baai is deel van Suid-Afrika se voorbereiding vir die Afrikanasiesbeker wat volgende maand in Marokko begin. Bafana Bafana is in Groep B met die sewemalige wenners en rekordhouer Egipte, Angola en Zimbabwe. Broos sê sy spelers moet dieselfde fokus en mentaliteit hê wat hulle in die Wêreldbeker-kwalifiseerwedstryde gehad het:

Kabinet het volgens berigte in beginsel goedkeuring gegee vir Namibië se deelname saam met Angola en Botswana om aandele in De Beers te verkry. Dit kom terwyl Anglo American voorberei om sy aandeel in die diamantreus te verkoop. Voormalige Namdia-baas Kennedy Hamutenya sê Namibië moet die geleentheid aangryp. Hamutenya het aan Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gesê dat die huidige afswaai in die diamantmark 'n seldsame geleentheid vir Namibië bied.

Leanna Byrne looks at signs that the United States may finally be nearing an end to its record-breaking forty-day government shutdown. The Senate has voted to advance a bill to pay federal workers and reopen parts of the government but it still needs approval from the House. Also, two of Africa's biggest diamond producers Botswana and Angola, are in talks to take control of De Beers, the world's most famous diamond company. And in Japan, a surge in bear attacks prompting the government to roll out emergency measures and forcing companies, farmers, and local authorities to spend millions on safety precautions.

Rattling the Bars's Mansa Musa explores how a one-woman play, The Peculiar Patriot, reveals the human cost of mass incarceration and the enduring ties between slavery and the prison system. The artist behind the play, Liza Jessie Peterson, has worked with incarcerated youth for decades, bringing their stories to the stage and to national audiences. Performed in more than 35 US prisons and filmed at Louisiana's Angola Prison—once a plantation, now a maximum-security facility—the play became the basis of the documentary, Angola: Do You Hear Us? (Paramount Plus / Amazon Prime). As the fight for abolition and prison reform gains momentum, this story reminds us that art is not decoration—it's a tool for awakening, organizing, and freedom.

Explores forgotten solidarity with African liberation struggles through the life of Black Chicagoan Prexy Nesbitt. For many civil rights activists, the Vietnam War brought the dangers of US imperialism and the global nature of antiracist struggle into sharp relief. Martha Biondi tells the story of one such group of activists who built an internationalist movement in Chicago committed to liberation everywhere but especially to ending colonialism and apartheid in Africa. Among their leaders was Prexy Nesbitt. Steeped from an early age in stories of Garveyism and labor militancy, Nesbitt was powerfully influenced by his encounters with the exiled African radicals he met in Dar es Salaam, London, and across the United States. Operating domestically and abroad, Nesbitt's cohort worked closely with opponents of Portuguese and white minority rule in Mozambique, Angola, and South Africa. Rather than promoting a US conception of Black self-determination, they took ideas from African anticolonial leaders and injected them into US foreign policy debates. The biography of a man but even more so of a movement, We Are Internationalists: Prexy Nesbitt and the Fight for African Liberation (U California Press, 2025) reveals the underappreciated influence of a transformative Black solidarity project.

After years of Chinese investment in Africa, the West is fighting back. Through the Lobito Corridor project, the US and European countries are investing billions in Angola's Benguela Railway, which runs from southern Africa's interior to Angola's Atlantic coast. The aim is to build a quick and reliable supply chain to export African minerals to the West. These minerals power the chips in all our gadgets, so they are pivotal in the US's tussle with China. Plus, the project promises huge economic gains for Angola. Marcia Veiga takes the train to find out if ordinary Angolans will benefit, or if it is another case of foreign powers extracting African resources for their own gain.
