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.

Le Premier ministre britannique, Keir Starmer, a signé l'accord restituant les Chagos à l'île Maurice. La justice britannique a rejeté un recours contre cette décision. Le Royaume-Uni avait expulsé les habitants, dans les années 1960-1970, pour y installer une base militaire américaine qui, elle, restera.

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.

Pendant plus de 50 ans, l'histoire des Chagossiens a été tenue à l'écart des grands récits. Ce peuple de l'Océan Indien, expulsé de ses terres par le Royaume-Uni pour permettre l'installation d'une base militaire américaine, revient enfin sur l'archipel qui l'a vu naître. En février 2022, cinq anciens habitants foulent à nouveau la terre de leurs ancêtres, sans escorte militaire ni autorisation britannique. Leur retour est le fruit de décennies de luttes, de recours juridiques, et de batailles diplomatiques. L'épisode retrace cette tragédie coloniale, les pressions de la Guerre Froide, les manipulations politiques, et les espoirs ravivés. Il met en lumière le rôle de l'île Maurice, les révélations de WikiLeaks, et les décisions des Nations Unies. En 2024, un accord historique reconnaît la souveraineté mauricienne sur l'archipel. Les Chagossiens, enfin, entrevoient la reconstruction d'une vie sur leur sol. Une justice tardive, mais essentielle.

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.

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.

There were smiles, laughs, and a few pats on the shoulder - the mood in the Oval Office felt at times amorous as Keir Starmer and Donald Trump got down to business. The Prime Minister appeared to have defied some of his harshest critics in DC, earning almost fawning praise from the American President and seemingly a series of wins - on tariffs, the Chagos islands, and on Ukraine. But if Donald Trump is a man who trades on personal relationships and rapport, will that positivity endure once Starmer has left the White House? And how much stock should Britain place in Trump's words, where he often delivers his message with ambiguity and sometimes even contradiction?Tickets to The News Agents Live On Stage with HSBC UK are now on sale!

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?
Like a patient on the operating table with no pulse, the UK economy is barely growing. Prime Minister, Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are desperately banging on the chest of the patient trying to revive it, but they don’t know how to bring it back to life. December figures show that the economy barely grew by just 0.1%. They talk of growth, but where is it going to come from? 10,000 millionaires have quit the UK in the last six months! China’s economy grew by 5% last year. Watch video version - https://youtu.be/FgXuoDMFE3c Retail sales were down in December! I’ve never heard of retail sales falling over Christmas. More inflation is expected as UK borrowing costs and bond yields have risen sharply. The country’s additional borrowing costs will run to £12 billion per annum. Paid by us, taxpayers of course. Governments screw up, we foot the bill. This could mean higher interest rates and higher mortgage costs for all of us at a time, and the Bank of England should be cutting rates. The market has lost confidence in the UK chancellor Rachel Reeves. She is out of her depth and reminds me the person that talks a good game and job interview but in reality hasn’t got a clue when they’ve got the job. Labour have got off to the worst start and any government I’ve never known. They want to give away the Chagos islands to Mauritius, and then lease it back at a cost of £9 billion! I’ve heard of sale and leaseback, but not “give” and leaseback. This will surely be remembered as the Prime Minister’s “Gordon Brown” moment. Gordon Brown was the Labour chancellor who sold off the U.K.’s gold reserves to China at rock bottom prices. Gold has risen by at least 10 times since the ill-fated sell-off. They inexplicably cut the small winter fuel allowance for millions of pensioners, taxed private school fees, and raised national insurance costs for employers, taxed our farmers and borrowed an additional £145 billion, all of which have made them hugely unpopular. And yet, the FT 100 index, reached a record level today! Apparently they expect interest rates to be cut by 0.25% when the Bank of England meet next month Will the Bank of England hold or cut rates next month? The implications are huge for the country and for the 700,000 borrowers who will come off fixed interest rates this year, as well as the first-time buyers who want to go on the property ladder. Buy to let property investment has become almost unviable, unless you have a large deposit or buying cheap properties up in the north-east. Some good news could be on the horizon for first time buyers as regulators are expected to relax lending rules. However, could this lead to another boom and bust? The massive building firm Taylor Wimpey has reported good profits of over £400 million last year and they built almost 10,000 new homes. Perhaps labours plan to relax planning rules will bring more homes onto the housing market. China What is going on between Labour and China? Why did Rachel Reeves desert her post at the time of the bond crisis last week? What are they given away for China to buy UK bonds? The Chinese government does not give anything without expecting something in return, and they normally bargain very hard. Foreign Secretary, David Lammy is expected to approve a new super embassy for China on the site of the old Royal Mint. Why does any country need a super embassy with hundreds of “diplomats”? Donald Trump could turn the US economy around, but will we get a decent trade deal after labour have alienating themselves from the new president elect? David Lammy, with his personal attacks, labour sending 100 people to America to canvas for Joe Biden during the US elections and now rushing to sign a deal with Mauritius before the presidential inauguration on January 20. Now it appears Labour are getting closer to China. The previous government cooled relations with China over Chinese technology, tensions over Hong Kong and Taiwan, the South China Sea, cyber security and allegations of spying. In summary, the lunatics have taken over the asylum! What does this mean for you? What can we do to cope on a personal level? If you believe we are entering choppy waters and stormy weather, now is the time to batten down the hatches and tighten your belts. This is not the time to purchase an £80,000 car on a lease or buy a fast-food franchise and open up yet another burger bar on the High Street. I’ve seen at least two or three new fast-food outlets or restaurants popping up on the High Street in the last couple of months. They are occupying premises that previous owners of similar businesses who went bust. I’ve talked to some of the business owners, and they are struggling. I walk past their restaurants and see the empty tables. I talk to a lady who opened up to bubble tea outlets and lost all her savings within six months. Her sign is still above the empty shop, which means the landlord has not been able to let the property again. Manage your money and control your spending. Invest wisely. If you’re nearing retirement, I would check with your financial advisor as to where your pension funds are invested. If you are young, I would learn more about AI. AI will kill 300 million jobs worldwide according to a recent report. People already been laid off in the City of London and Wall Street due to the impact of AI. A massive rise in employer national insurance contributions will hardly encourage employers to take on more staff. Worse still, it could lead to redundancies. Could be an easier time for homebuyers, if interest rates fall and the regulators ease the stringent restrictions on mortgage lending. Expect the best but prepare for the worst.

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?

Trois candidats briguent la succession du tchadien Moussa Faki Mahamat : l'ancien Premier ministre kényan Raila Odinga, l'actuel ministre djiboutien des Affaires étrangères, Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, et l'ancien ministre malgache des Affaires étrangères, Richard Randriamandrato. C'est le 15 février 2025 que les 55 chefs d'État de l'Union africaine trancheront, lors du sommet annuel de l'UA à Addis-Abeba, en Éthiopie. En attendant, RFI donne la parole, bien sûr, aux trois candidats. Il y a une semaine, vous avez entendu le candidat de Djibouti. Voici ce matin celui de Madagascar, l'ancien ministre Richard Randriamandrato répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Si vous êtes élu le 15 février prochain, quels seront vos deux priorités ?Richard Randriamandrato : Tout d'abord, il faut de manière urgente mener à terme ces réformes qui ont été entamées depuis 2016, avec des propositions parfois douloureuses, mais il faut passer par là, pour que l'Union africaine, pas seulement la Commission, mais tous les organes de l'Union africaine, soient moins bureaucratiques, plus efficaces, avec moins de réunionite et surtout un état d'esprit de cohésion entre les organes. Donc ça, c'est le premier volet. Le deuxième volet, c'est comment faire mieux avec moins. Maintenant, le budget de l'Union africaine a été réduit, donc il va falloir faire avec. Et donc je me propose de mettre en place un plan stratégique pour 3 à 4 ans. Et j'espère que les instances dirigeantes de l'Union africaine vont adopter cette démarche.Quand la guerre fait rage en Afrique comme en ce moment dans l'est du Congo-Kinshasa, c'est le Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU qui s'en occupe et pas le Conseil paix et sécurité de l'Union africaine, est-ce que vous ne le regrettez pas ?De prime abord, on peut dire que les crises sur tous les continents devraient revenir évidemment à des instances continentales telles que l'Union africaine ou le Conseil paix et sécurité de l'Union africaine. Tout cela est possible, mais, voyez-vous, le Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies, il faut le reconnaître, c'est l'instance planétaire qui résout les problèmes de cette envergure. Donc, je ne m'en offusque pas pour autant. Je pense que l'Union africaine doit être présente dans les prises de décisions au niveau du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU. J'espère que l'Union africaine ne sera pas écartée de la résolution de la crise dans l'immédiat.Dans la guerre au Nord-Kivu, tout le monde désigne le Rwanda comme complice, sauf l'Union africaine et les trois pays qui représentent l'Afrique au Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU, pourquoi cette retenue ?Disons que l'Union africaine est la maison commune qui rassemble tous les Etats membres de cette Union. Je pense que l'Union africaine se doit de rester solidaire aussi bien avec les versions et les arguments avancés par Kigali, autant que les arguments défendus par Kinshasa. Ce n'est pas facile, mais c'est un exercice qui doit être exécuté afin de garder la solidarité entre les pays africains. Et donc il faut vraiment que ce processus de Nairobi et aussi le processus de Luanda aboutissent à des accords qui rassurent les uns et les autres.Face à vous, il y a deux candidats, le kényan Raila Odinga et le djiboutien Mahmoud Ali Youssouf. Qu'est-ce qui vous distingue de ces deux autres candidats ?Je pense que le fait de ne pas être un chef de parti politique est un avantage. Je ne prétends pas avoir passé une vingtaine d'années à faire de la diplomatie caméléon, à écrire des notes verbales et à faire des discours ici et là. Non, je suis un homme de terrain. J'ai beaucoup travaillé dans les ONG au COMESA, qui est une organisation régionale en l'Afrique de l'Est. J'ai travaillé pour les Nations unies au sein du PNUD et à la Banque mondiale. Et puis j'ai été ministre de l'Economie et des Finances de Madagascar. J'ai négocié beaucoup de financements de projets pour mon pays. Donc, je ne suis pas un candidat de salon et je pense que c'est un avantage. Et puis, je ne cherche pas à être le « lion qui va rugir dans la jungle », c'est ce que j'ai entendu d'un de mes concurrents. Je veux rester un candidat réaliste, un candidat pragmatique et je pense que je peux répondre aux attentes de notre organisation.Alors le « lion qui va rugir dans la jungle », c'est l'ancien Premier ministre kényan Raila Odinga, qui est favori dans cette bataille parce qu'il a été Premier ministre justement, et parce qu'il est soutenu par un pays influent, le Kenya. Qu'est-ce que vous répondez ?Tout le monde est favori jusqu'au jour du vote. Quelle sera donc l'image que l'Union africaine va projeter à la communauté internationale ? Est-ce que c'est une Union africaine de plus en plus politisée, plus orientée vers les combats politiques ? Est-ce une Afrique qui est plus orientée vers l'économie, l'éducation des jeunes et ainsi de suite ? C'est ce que je veux incarner d'ailleurs. Je veux mettre en place une architecture économique et financière avec la Banque africaine de développement et les institutions. C'est ce que je sais faire. J'ai été ministre de l'Economie et des Finances et je sais comment négocier avec ces instances de la finance internationale. Et c'est ce qui est important.Si vous êtes élu, quelles seront vos priorités dans l'Océan Indien, au regard, par exemple, de la situation de certains territoires comme l'archipel des Chagos, comme Mayotte, comme les îles Éparses au large de Madagascar ?La question de la souveraineté des États dans cette partie de l'Océan Indien et ailleurs ne doit pas être remise en cause. Je pense qu'il faut défendre les avancées réalisées avec les négociations qui sont en cours. Le cas des Chagos est déjà assez explicite. Il faut en tenir compte. Je pense qu'il appartient aux Etats de continuer à défendre ce principe de la souveraineté. Ce n'est pas chose facile puisque ce sont des hommes et des femmes qui sont derrière chaque État concerné.Vous pensez que l'accord de l'année dernière entre la Grande-Bretagne et l'île Maurice sur l'archipel des Chagos est un bon accord ou un mauvais accord ?Je pense qu'il y a encore des points d'achoppement, si j'ai bien compris, qui restent à être résolus dans l'immédiat. Mais c'est un accord qui permet d'avancer. En tout cas, il y a l'esprit de cet accord qui doit être maintenant respecté, à savoir que la restitution de ce territoire doit se faire avec un accord mutuel sur le contenu même de cet accord. Donc moi, je pense que c'est l'esprit qu'il faut garder en tête et il faut attendre que les négociations aboutissent à leur terme.Et concernant les autres territoires, je pense à Mayotte et aux îles Éparses ?Pour ce qui concerne Mayotte, je crois que c'est entre la France et les Comores dans un premier temps. Mais bien entendu, les Comores étant un membre à part entière de l'Union africaine, le principe même du respect de la souveraineté de ces Etats doit être le principe directeur. Et je laisserai le soin, bien entendu, à ceux qui sont directement concernés dans les négociations de faire aboutir les points qui vont rassurer les uns et les autres. Je ne vais pas m'aventurer à dire ce que je ne peux pas, en tant que candidat, avancer pour des questions bilatérales. Je crois qu'il revient à la France et aux Comores de trouver l'accord qui rassure les uns et les autres.Et concernant les îles Éparses, au large de Madagascar ?Le principe est le même. Je pense qu'il y a des résolutions, depuis 1972, qui sont au niveau des Nations unies et nous continuons à échanger nos points de vue pour que nous puissions trouver la meilleure formule pour que, une fois de plus, la souveraineté soit rassurante pour les uns et les autres. Et puis en même temps, il y a la question environnementale et la question liée aussi aux richesses dans ces zones, donc le plateau de ces îles Éparses. Tout cela n'est pas facile, donc il faut rester optimiste et nous espérons que le comité qui a été mis en place et qui, malheureusement pour diverses raisons, a connu un report dans ses travaux, nous espérons que nous puissions reprendre ces travaux très prochainement. Madagascar va accueillir le sommet de la Commission de l'Océan Indien, je ne sais pas si c'est l'occasion d'évoquer ce sujet bilatéral, mais en tout cas, nous continuons à espérer que la diplomatie va gagner en termes d'efficacité et que tout le monde soit rassuré au final.Oui, car derrière la question des îles Éparses, il y a celle de l'espace maritime et de son exploitation, soit par Madagascar, soit par la France. C'est ça ?Tout à fait. C'est une question délicate puisque ça touche donc à une dimension plus économique. Et bien entendu, ce n'est pas une simple question de souveraineté politique et d'identité, mais c'est aussi cet aspect économique qui est tout aussi important.
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.

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.

« Nouveau souffle », c'est le grand titre du quotidien mauricien L'Express. « Fin du suspense », pointe le journal qui égraine, dans les 21 circonscriptions, les résultats des élections législatives de dimanche. « Les chiffres officiels pour la circonscription n°6 sont tombés (en dernier) après 1 heure du matin. Et ils confirment la grosse victoire des candidats de l'Alliance du changement », s'exclame L'Express. Le parti d'opposition de l'ancien Premier ministre, Navin Ramgoolam rafle donc la mise. Dans la foulée, le chef du gouvernement, Pravind Kumar Jugnauth, a reconnu sa défaite.« L'île sœur change de majorité politique », peut-on lire sur le site Linfo, à La Réunion voisine. « Dans les rues de Maurice, l'ambiance est à la célébration. 14 ans après son dernier mandat, Navin Ramgoolam fait son grand retour au poste de Premier ministre. Les urnes ne trompent pas, les Mauriciens cherchaient du changement », pointe le site réunionnais qui cite ce militant : « C'est un message fort pour la démocratie et contre la mafia, affirme-t-il. Oui à une île Maurice où il fait bon vivre. »Érosion démocratique ?Pourtant, le Premier ministre sortant Pravind Kumar Jugnauth s'était présenté à ce scrutin en position de force, pointe Jeune Afrique. « Fort, en effet, de la conclusion début octobre d'un accord "historique" entre Maurice et Londres sur la souveraineté de l'archipel des Chagos, vu comme un succès majeur pour le gouvernement mauricien après plus d'un demi-siècle de litige. Mais son espoir de profiter de cet accord dans les urnes a été rapidement douché, relève le site panafricain, lorsque des extraits de conversations téléphoniques d'hommes politiques, de membres de la société civile, de diplomates et de journalistes ont fuité sur les réseaux sociaux courant octobre (des conversations, largement partagées sur Facebook, qui mettaient en cause des figures proches du Premier ministre, à l'approche du scrutin). En réaction, les autorités avaient annoncé le 1er novembre le blocage des réseaux sociaux jusqu'au lendemain du scrutin, avant de se raviser face à l'indignation de l'opposition et des médias. Une initiative malheureuse, commente Jeune Afrique, qui a encore ajouté à l'inquiétude de certains observateurs qui voient à Maurice des signes d'érosion démocratique. »Reconnaître sa défaite : « Bravo ! »En tout cas, « il faut saluer la maturité et le sens de responsabilités dont ont fait montre les acteurs politiques mauriciens, s'exclame Le Pays au Burkina Faso. C'est tout à leur honneur. Surtout que le parti au pouvoir et ses alliés ont eux-mêmes reconnu leur défaite, et félicité le vainqueur. Dans un continent où le mot d'ordre est de ne pas organiser des élections pour les perdre, la démarche du Premier ministre mauricien mérite d'être relevée et magnifiée, pointe Le Pays ; tant elle ne court pas les rues. Bien au contraire, la tendance est à la manipulation des résultats avec ce que cela provoque comme conséquences : contestation électorale, violences politiques, déchirures sociales, etc. Ces cas sont surtout légion dans les pays francophones où bien des dirigeants, refusant de s'imaginer une autre vie en dehors du pouvoir, rusent avec la démocratie, quand ils ne s'en soucient pas comme d'une guigne. (…) Cela dit, conclut le quotidien ouagalais, il ne reste plus qu'à encourager les acteurs politiques mauriciens à maintenir le cap de sorte à ne pas brader les acquis démocratiques dans leur pays connu pour être une nation politiquement et économiquement stable. Et pour cela, force doit, toujours et à toute épreuve, rester aux institutions. »Transition en douceur ?On s'oriente donc vers une « transition en douceur » à Maurice… C'est du moins ce qu'estime le site Afrik.com : « Le Premier ministre sortant a déclaré qu'il coopérerait avec les nouvelles autorités pour assurer la stabilité et la continuité des projets en cours. (…) Ce changement de dynamique politique ouvre la voie à une nouvelle phase de négociations et de compromis pour former un gouvernement stable. »Reste, poursuitAfrik.comque« les enjeux économiques restent au cœur des préoccupations. Maurice, bien qu'ayant connu un développement significatif dans le secteur du tourisme, des services financiers et des technologies, doit faire face à une croissance plus lente, exacerbée par la crise mondiale. L'inflation, la montée du coût de la vie, ainsi que la gestion des ressources naturelles et de l'environnement sont des sujets qui préoccupent profondément les populations. En attendant, conclutAfrik.com, les citoyens mauriciens s'attendent à ce que la situation se calme rapidement et que les institutions politiques, telles que le Parlement et la présidence, jouent leur rôle dans la consolidation de la démocratie. »
In the late 1960s, the United Kingdom made a deal allowing the US to build a military base on Diego Garcia, one of 58 islands that make up the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. The UK, which had colonized the islands in the 1800s, claimed there was “no permanent population” in Chagos. But that was a lie. Several hundred Chagossians lived on those islands. They were all forcibly removed by 1973 and have been campaigning to return ever since. In 2024, the UK announced it would relinquish its last colony in Africa, recognizing the sovereignty of Mauritius. What does this mean for the Chagossians? Will they finally be able to return home?

What Keir Starmer wants to be talking about today is his landmark £22 billion investment into carbon capture. Flanked by Ed Miliband and Rachel Reeves, his speech was an unusually personal one where he spoke about the impacts of deindustrialisation. But how new is this policy? And what does this huge investment mean for the £20 billion black hole? What Westminster seems more interested in talking about is the news that assisted dying is back on the agenda and the fallout of the deal to give the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. Is there a degree of inevitability about these two stories resurfacing? Oscar Edmondson speaks to Isabel Hardman and James Heale. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

durée : 00:06:25 - La Revue de presse internationale - par : Catherine Duthu - Après plus d'un demi-siècle de litige, le Royaume-Uni reconnaît la souveraineté de l'île Maurice sur l'archipel des Chagos, dernière colonie britannique en Afrique. Cet accord "historique" permet à Londres de conserver sa base militaire commune avec les États-Unis sur l'île de Diego Garcia.
Tras años de amargas disputas, el gobierno británico ha decidido entregar la soberanía del archipiélago de Chagos a Mauricio, que la reclamaba desde hace ya muchos años. Mientras el ejecutivo laborista defiende su decisión, argumentando que cierra una deuda histórica, la oposición conservadora ha sido muy dura con el acuerdo y ha acusado a Downing Street de poner en jaque la soberanía nacional. Recordemos que los británicos y americanos tienen una importantísima base militar en Chagos: Diego García, el motivo por el cual comenzó toda esta polémica.Escuchar audio

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.
