Souveraineté des Chagos by TOPFM MAURITIUS

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Robert Midgley, journalist and spokesperson for the Friends of British Overseas Territories, to expose what could be Keir Starmer's greatest political scandal yet — the quiet handover of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.We unpack how this shocking deal — costing British taxpayers up to £47 billion — effectively gives away sovereign UK territory in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Robert reveals how the Labour government, under pressure from international legal activists like Philippe Sands, has undermined British sovereignty and endangered one of America's most strategic military bases, Diego Garcia.From allegations of corruption and hacked negotiations in Mauritius to the Chinese Communist Party's interest in the region, we examine how Britain's political and legal elite have allowed foreign powers to dictate national policy under the banner of “decolonisation.”We also explore the untold story of the Chagossian people — forcibly removed by the British government in the 1960s, yet still overwhelmingly pro-British today, despite decades of betrayal.All this — the Chagos scandal, the billions in taxpayer money, China's growing influence, and how Starmer's Labour is sleepwalking Britain into surrendering its sovereignty.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall Hosted on Acast.

Souveraineté sur l'archipel des Chagos : la balle est désormais dans le camp de la House of Lords by TOPFM MAURITIUS

Voyage sur l'archipel des Chagos : pas de déplacement cette année pour la délégation mauricienne, souligne l'Attorney General by TOPFM MAURITIUS

As the Chagos Islands deal returns to the Commons, the Standard's Chief Political Correspondent, Rachael Burford, joins us to explain how the influx of islanders from the remote archipelago has left Hillingdon council in crisis. The Chagos Islands have been the subject of a long-running legal dispute between the UK and Mauritius. This week's special report explains how in 2022, those born on Chagos and their children were offered full British citizenship, as a small gesture towards acknowledging historical wrongs. But with more families expected to arrive in the capital, the financial strain is forcing difficult choices. And in part two, The Standard's Chief Restaurant Critic and Going Out Editor David Ellis is here to reveal this week's Hidden London destination - the cigar merchant JJ Fox, which for more than 240 years has drawn the great and the good, from Winston Churchill to Oscar Wilde.

Horatio and David discuss current UK politics. David argues that Labour's credibility has been damaged by Angela Rayner's resignation and Starmer's handling of it, and that internal Left–Centre tensions are widening. He is scathing about David Lammy's promotion and predicts Reform UK will overtake Labour well before 2029 due to a looming financial crisis and public disillusionment with both major parties. He criticises Starmer's leadership, the Chagos decision, and the choice of Mandelson, and says UK defence is dangerously under-resourced and over-reliant on US enablers. He argues for missile defence and a stronger nuclear triad. Finally, he predicts a UK-led Western debt crisis driven by commodity-led inflation and policy missteps by Rachel Reeves.Stay ahead of the curve.Find us on:Website                Official website of David Murrin - Global ForecasterInstagram            @MurrinrawYoutube                David Murrin - YouTubeIf you have any questions that you would like David to answer on the podcast, please email David through his website. If you like our content, please to follow us and leave a review.Support the show

Des réunions s'enchaînent concernant les premiers voyages vers l'archipel des Chagos. Ce voyage revêt une importance particulière après le vote du projet de loi sur la rétrocession de l'archipel des Chagos du Royaume-Uni à Maurice. Sollicité, l'Attorney General, Gavin Glover, a indiqué que les modalités du voyage vers l'archipel seraient définies dans les mois à venir… mais que cela se ferait, en tout cas, avant la saison cyclonique. L'organisation d'une mission symbolique, incluant notamment le déploiement du drapeau national sur l'archipel, a également été évoquée. Pour le leader du groupe des réfugiés chagossiens, Olivier Bancoult, les injustices subies par le peuple chagossien pendant des décennies doivent enfin être réparées. La communauté est prête pour ce voyage. C'est le Premier ministre, le Dr Navin Ramgoolam, qui préside un comité chargé de préparer ce déplacement. Les aspects logistiques sont en cours d'examen.

La ONU acaba de cumplir ochenta años y no podemos decir que se encuentre en su mejor momento. Fue fundada el 26 de junio de 1945 con la firma de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas por parte de cincuenta países independientes que aspiraban a evitar nuevas guerras. Hoy, con 193 miembros, conflictos como los de Ucrania y Gaza evidencian su limitada capacidad para cumplir este objetivo. Las cinco potencias con veto en el Consejo de Seguridad (EEUU, Rusia, China, el Reino Unido y Francia) rara vez se ponen de acuerdo y la reciente escalada entre Israel e Irán ha puesto una vez más de manifiesto la ineficacia del Consejo, reducido a debates estériles y resoluciones sin impacto sobre el mundo real. La organización atraviesa además una crisis financiera agravada por la retención de fondos estadounidenses, lo que ha llevado al secretario general, António Guterres, a ordenar recortes de personal. Agencias humanitarias importantes, como el Programa Mundial de Alimentos, sufren serios ajustes presupuestarios que están poniendo en riesgo su funcionamiento. Esta situación recuerda al declive de la Sociedad de Naciones en el periodo de entreguerras, aunque de forma más gradual. Pero, a pesar de todo, nadie quiere debatir sobre el futuro de la ONU. Los que trabajan en su seno están más preocupados por la inestabilidad laboral, los Gobiernos entretanto priorizan cuestiones como los aranceles y la seguridad nacional, dejando siempre a la ONU en un segundo plano. Pero, a pesar de sus muchos fallos, la ONU retiene aún alguna utilidad importante. Sirve como espacio para que grandes potencias negocien y encuentren puntos en común, y permite a los Estados más pequeños expresarse, aunque por lo general sin ser escuchados. Sus operaciones humanitarias y de mantenimiento de la paz, aunque afectadas por los continuos recortes de presupuesto, siguen siendo una red de seguridad en regiones desatendidas. Históricamente la ONU ha gestionado crisis internacionales como las que se produjeron durante la Guerra Fría, el genocidio de Ruanda o la guerra de Irak, pero siempre ha conseguido adaptarse a un entorno cambiante. La organización se ve lastrada por una pesada burocracia y por divisiones entre Estados. Los países occidentales abogan por fortalecer la prevención de conflictos y el mantenimiento de la paz, mientras que los países en desarrollo exigen una mayor atención en los aspectos económicos y critican el incumplimiento de compromisos de ayuda por parte de los Estados ricos. La parálisis del Consejo de Seguridad, producto del deterioro de las relaciones entre las tres potencias occidentales, China y Rusia, y la aversión al riesgo de Guterres no hacen más que agravar la situación. La invasión de Ucrania y las amenazas de Trump de apropiarse del canal de Panamá o de Groenlandia ponen en entredicho los principios de la Carta fundacional de la ONU. Además, el ascenso de China y nuevas plataformas como los BRICS desafían la relevancia de la ONU en un mundo que camina hacia la multipolaridad. A pesar de esto, la organización mantiene algunas ventajas: sus agencias técnicas facilitan la cooperación internacional, y el Consejo de Seguridad sigue siendo un canal de diálogo entre potencias, incluso en tiempos de crisis. Los Estados pequeños valoran la ONU como plataforma para hacerse oír, como demostró hace solo dos meses Mauricio con la disputa por las islas Chagos, resuelta finalmente en la ONU. Se critica a la organización por su ineficiencia, pero en operaciones de paz y ayuda humanitaria no tiene competidores. Los recortes limitarán su alcance, pero su utilidad podría ser reconocida en el futuro. Entra en su novena década de vida con mucha menos influencia, pero si mantiene su papel como foro diplomático, habrá que seguir teniéndola en cuenta.

This Friday marks exactly one year since Keir Starmer was elected as Prime Minister in a landslide victory.Despite only polling 33pc of the vote share, Labour trounced the Conservatives, came away with an enormous majority of 174, and looked set for two terms of governmental dominance. As Starmer himself put it, Labour was planning for "a decade of national renewal".Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss how - from Lord Alli's free clothes to Rachel Reeves's disastrous budget, from going to war with farmers to the Chagos giveaway, from u-turns on winter fuel payments to u-turns on welfare reforms - Keir Starmer has somehow managed to squander all of the momentum from his election win in just twelve months.With his record low approval ratings, is he already at risk of being replaced? And if so - who by?Producer: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineySocial Media Producer: Ji-Min LeeVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Operator: Meghan SearleOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

The Spectator's editor Michael Gove and assistant editor Madeline Grant interview Rupert Lowe, MP for Great Yarmouth and notorious Westminster provocateur. Earlier this year, Lowe was suspended from the Reform party amid claims of threats towards the party's then-chairman Zia Yusuf, and a souring relationship with Nigel Farage. Following his political ‘assassination', he now sits as an independent MP and continues to be one of the most energetic parliamentarians in challenging the Westminster orthodoxy.During the discussion – recorded before Zia Yusuf resigned as party chairman on Thursday – Lowe diagnoses the issues that have blighted Reform and its bid to ‘professionalise'; challenges Michael on the then-Tory government's mismanagement of an 80-seat majority and its record on Covid; addresses his interview with Emily Maitlis and her questioning on the grooming gangs scandal; but admits, in spite of it all, that he would still prefer Nigel Farage to be Prime Minister over Keir Starmer.Watch the interview in full on Spectator TV.

Give Nigel Farage the Job NOW – Britain's Had Enough!  #NigelFarage #ReformUK #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics  Angela Rayner says she doesn't want Keir Starmer's job as Prime Minister. THANK GOD – she'd be an even bigger disaster! The lies, the spin, the smug non-answers… Her TV interviews today reeked of pure political BS. Why even bother airing this nonsense? Jon Gaunt says that Labour is a charisma-free zone—an incompetent circus of liars, truth dodgers, and power-hungry bureaucrats. And the Tories? Not much better! Kemi Badenoch is grasping at thin air, and now even she's on the chopping block. The Lib Dems? Don't make me laugh! Meanwhile, Nigel Farage and Reform UK are DOMINATING the polls with real ideas: ✅ Bring back the Winter Fuel Allowance for ALL pensioners ✅ Scrap the unfair Two-Child Benefit Cap ✅ Tear up Starmer's sellout EU deal ✅ End the Chagos betrayal ✅ Deport illegal migrants—appoint a Minister for Deportation  ✅ FIX the small boats crisis And what does the political elite do? Squeal that it's “not costed.” As if Labour and the Tories haven't burned billions already! We don't need another 4 years of lies, chaos, and broken promises. Britain needs real leadership, and Farage is the only one speaking for the people.

The Independent Sentencing Review chaired by former Lord Chancellor David Gauke has today announced its suggested reforms which sees a major shift from imprisonment to community-led sentencing. Measures include the recommendation that convicted criminals leave prisons after serving around one-third of their sentence, that short prison sentences of up to 12 months are drastically reduced and – the attention grabbing – expansion of chemical castration for paedophiles. What are the political ramifications of these policies, and will they work?  Danny Shaw, former advisor to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, and James Heale discuss with Lucy Dunn. Also on the podcast, they discuss a last minute obstacle to resolving the Chagos deal and the news that net migration dropped dramatically in 2024.  Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.

Sir Keir Starmer appointed Jonathan Powell to be his national security adviser at one of the most critical points in European security since the Cold War.  He has spent years at the heart of government, helping to broker the peace deal in Northern Ireland and more recently the controversial Chagos deal. Now he is being credited with being the architect of the peace deal plan between Ukraine and Russia and the bridge between the Trump administration, Europe and Ukraine.  On this episode of the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson looks at the key role Powell is playing in working towards a lasting peace deal with political correspondent Rob Powell, and former national security adviser Lord Peter Ricketts. Producer: Natalie KtenaEditor: Wendy Parker

Keir Starmer has returned from his whirlwind meeting with Donald Trump in Washington DC, and it seems as though the trip was at least a partial success for the PM. Some papers have even gone so far as to describe a new political bromance...Trump cautiously backed the Chagos plan and suggested the UK could avoid tariffs, although there was less clarity on security guarantees for Ukraine.In the room as it all unfolded was Telegraph political editor Ben Riley-Smith, who got off the Prime Minister's plane and straight into the Daily T studio to bring us up to speed.Also in the studio is new Daily T co-host Cleo Watson, who advised Theresa May and Boris Johnson and helped both prepare for meetings with Trump, and Sir Simon Fraser, a former diplomat who has worked behind the scenes on countless leaders' summits.Read: Trump gives verdict on Starmer after PM's five-month campaign to woo himOur political editor Ben Riley Smith's full coverage of the Trump-Starmer meetingProducer: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: Rachel DuffyVideo Editor: Andy MackenzieEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

The Chagos Islands have dominated news headlines over the past few months, but the struggle of the Chagossian people to reclaim their island home has spanned centuries. First colonised in 1513 by the Portuguese, the archipelago shifted from one imperial master to another over the course of the next three hundred years, until the British took control in the 19th century and changed the course of Chagossian history forever... In the 20th century the US realised the strategic importance of the Chagos archipelago, sitting equidistant between Asia and Africa. As the island of Diego Garcia became home to one of the largest US military bases in the world, the Chagossian people were forcibly evicted from their lands and displaced across the world, left to fend for themselves in unknown lands. Listen as Anita and William are joined by Philippe Sands, barrister, writer and academic, who has been leading the repatriation case against the British government on behalf of the Chagos Islands and the Mauritian state.

They say sunlight is the best disinfectant. But what if you're a germ? As the USA.I.D demolition continues, we're beginning to see the outlines of what might be a network of real corruption - and it's not just the tinfoil hats saying it. How will the US public deal with having the wool pulled from their eyes? And will the Beltway liberals ever recover? Meanwhile, Britain has agreed to the deal of the century. The Mauritians get: £18 billion. We get: to give them a strategically important series of islands. The Chagos saga must already rank as the most tawdry fiasco since Suez. What no one can understand is: why? Finally, while it's retreating from aid, the US imperium is once again reasserting itself over the periphery when it comes to tech. With the Silicon Valley set signed up behind Trumpism, Europe is being asked to bend the knee, not just on market access, but on their much eroded rights to online free speech. What can you say?

Trump has blown the Overton window wide open. In a press conference yesterday alongside Benjamin Netanyahu, the US president outlined his intention to ‘take over the Gaza Strip', displacing 1.8 million Palestinians in the process. His plan – if you can call it that – is to build ‘the Riviera of the Middle East'. Many of the countries Trump has earmarked to resettle displaced Gazans have already condemned the takeover. How will the international community respond? Elsewhere, Keir Starmer seems more motivated by a desire to observe the rule of international law than his buddy across the pond. The Chagos deal seems set to be completed in the ‘coming weeks'. However, the new Mauritian prime minister, Navin Ramgoolam, claimed yesterday that Starmer cut a deal – in the presence, rather curiously, of his Attorney General, Lord Hermer – that would effectively double the £9 billion first offered to the country to take back the archipelago. Why are they pressing ahead with this deal? And, seven months into this government, are we any closer to discovering what ‘progressive realism' actually is? James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and Michael Stephens, associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI). Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Keir Starmer is stuck between the UN and Donald Trump.Under pressure from the International Court, Labour are due to relinquish British ownership of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean. But the islands house a strategic US airbase, and the Prime Minister needs to maintain good relations with the incoming Trump administration.Andrew Marr, Hannah Barnes and Rachel Cunliffe answer a listener's question about whether the government will rethink the Chagos Islands deal.They also discuss whether the New Statesman should regret backing Labour at the general election, and how the UK will be affected by new moderation rules on Meta platforms Facebook and Instagram.Ask a question for a future episode at www.newstatesman.com/youaskusGet the New Stateman's political analysis in your inbox every weekday by signing up to our newsletter, Morning Call: morningcall.substack.comSubscribe to the New Statesman for full access to all our reporting and analysis: www.newstatesman.com/jan24 Hosted on Acast.

Last month, after a lengthy court battle, the United Kingdom handed the Chagos archipelago over to the African island nation of Mauritius, which said the islands had been stolen from it at independence. Today, Lorraine Mallinder dives into the plight of the Chagossians, many of whom were forcibly evicted from the island over five decades ago, and their desire to return to the island. Also in today's package, a flurry of diplomacy is not dispelling the notion of post-election Palestinian disarray, a mask ban in North Carolina, and a new musical with a twangy Nashville score.

More explosions tore through the Lebanese capital today as Israeli military says it hit Hezbollah targets in Beirut. Israel has also continued to warn people in southern Lebanon to leave their homes - including in the region of Nabatieh. It comes as the Israeli army says Hezbollah has fired 200 rockets into Israel today.One of the most senior leaders of Hamas - which is designated a terrorist organisation by the UK and other governments - has told the BBC that the current crisis they provoked in the Middle East, which has led to the deaths of thousands of people in the past year, is justified. The Deputy leader of Hamas, Khalil al Haya, said the October 7th attacks, which killed 1200 people, mostly Israeli civilians, were necessary to place the issue of Palestinian statehood back on the global agenda. He insisted without it, the cycle of violence in the Middle East would not end. Also in programme: we discuss the UK government's decision to give up sovereignty of the remote but strategic Chagos islands after 200 years of rule; and whether the hit US sitcom 'Cheers' is set for British remake 30 years on.
