Podcasts about chagos islands

This week, our new political editor Tim Shipman takes the helm and, in his cover piece, gives us the inside track on how Labour is dealing with Iran, Donald Trump and the prospect of escalating war in the Middle East.He writes that this could be the moment when all of Keir Starmer's chickens come home to roost: his well-curated international image is at risk of crumbling as global crises present greater challenges; his hands are tied by legal advice from the controversial Lord Hermer; the Chagos Islands are being drawn into the US's retaliation plans; and there remains the looming threat of backbench rebellion over Labour's national security strategy. Tim is joined by James Heale and Lucy Dunn to discuss what may be Starmer's biggest test yet.Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Natasha Feroze.

Historian and broadcaster Rafe Heydel-Mankoo joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sweeping conversation on the slow-motion collapse of Britain—its monarchy, its military, and its moral compass.Rafe warns that the UK is facing a national identity crisis, accelerated by mass immigration, multicultural fragmentation, and a political class ashamed of British heritage. He lays out how constitutional monarchy, once a unifying symbol, is being hollowed out by a culture of cynicism and erasure.They explore the decline of Britain's armed forces, the woke takeover of national institutions, and the spiritual vacuum left by the abandonment of Christianity in public life.All this—lost sovereignty, collapsing values, elite betrayal, and whether Britain can recover its sense of purpose before it's too late…. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 0:00 Immigration and Demographic Change in Britain 3:54 Canadian Monarchy and Indigenous Relations 8:58 Commonwealth and British Nationality 16:36 Integration and Cultural Compatibility 22:13 British Identity and Cultural Subversion 42:11 Historical Impact of British Colonialism 51:30 Decolonization and Cultural Institutions 1:01:21 The Role of Liberalism and Nationalism 1:09:45 Impact of Protestantism on Individualism 1:13:40 Chagos Islands and Decolonization 1:16:09 Implications for British Foreign Policy 1:18:04 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

Environmental law is the law relating to environmental problems – but these problems are anything but simple. Traditional legal systems weren't designed with challenges like climate change or biodiversity loss in mind, making this one of the most diverse, evolving, and demanding areas of law today.In this episode, James and Daisy are joined by Philippe Sands KC – a leading international lawyer, professor at UCL and Harvard, and author of East West Street and the recently published 38 Londres Street. Together, they explore the role of international law in protecting the environment. When did international law begin to take environmental issues seriously? Can nature itself have legal rights? What might international environmental law look like for future generations? SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: Financial Times (2025) – Philippe Sands argues that our planet – not just its people – should have legal rights. “Should Trees Have Standing?” by Christopher Stone (1972) – A landmark law review article that launched the idea of legal rights for nature. LSE (2024) – Analysis of climate change litigation cases in 2023, drawing on the Sabin Center's Climate Change Litigation Databases. Stop Ecocide International – Leading the movement to make ecocide a crime. Philippe helped draw up the legal definition: “Ecocide" means unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused by those acts.KEY CASES AND LEGAL CONCEPTS: Chernobyl – The most serious nuclear accident in history. Philippe's book, Chernobyl: Law and Communication, explores the international legal aftermath of the disaster.ICJ Advisory Opinion on the Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons (1996) – Paragraph 29 recognised a state's obligation to respect the global environment. A new ICJ advisory opinion on climate change is expected in 2025. Chagos Islands – Philippe has long represented Mauritius in its legal battle against the UK over the Chagos Islands. In 2023, he argued that the UN's International Telecommunication Union could deem UK-US activities there unlawful.The Gambia vs Myanmar – A landmark ICJ case against Myanmar for violating the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in relation to the Rohingya Muslims.Red Eagle vs. Colombia – A case involving Colombia's protection of the pàramos ecosystems from mining. The Special Tribunal on the Crime of Aggression – Proposed in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, aiming to hold individuals responsible. The proposal followed this article by Philippe.  Montreal Protocol – A successful international treaty to phase out ozone-depleting substances. Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism – An EU carbon tariff on carbon intensive products, such as steel, cement and some electricity. The Law of Sea – Governs maritime conduct and environmental protection beyond national borders.OTHER ADVOCATES, FACTS, AND RESOURCES:Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) – A nonprofit focused on environmental law (founded in 1989). Brownlie's Principles of Public International Law by Ian Brownlie – A foundational text in public international law. Is a River Alive? by Robert Macfarlane – At powerful book on the legal and imaginative rights of nature. Silent Spring by Rachel Carson – A groundbreaking book published in 1962 on the environmental harm caused by the widespread use of pesticides that reshaped environmental policy.   Bill McKibben – An American environmentalist, author, and journalist who has written extensively on the impact of global warming.Thomas Buergenthal – An Auschwitz survivor who became a judge with the UN war crimes court in The Hague. Sir Nicholas Lyell QC – An Attorney General in the John Major government and Conservative MP.Thank you for listening!

Starmer vs Russia: No War in Our Name! You're No Churchill or Thatcher! RESIGN! Starmer #Russia #StopTheWar #Ukraine #Putin Is Keir Starmer pushing Britain closer to war with Russia? Jon Gaunt exposes how the Labour leader is talking tough on Putin while failing at home – from Dover's migrant crisis to surrendering British territories like the Chagos Islands.  Starmer backs Ukraine drone strikes, increases defence spending promises with no dates, and now entertains conscription talk — echoing Tony Blair's Iraq war mistakes. But the British people don't want another war. They want secure borders, accountability, and real leadership — not Churchill cosplay. Jon Gaunt breaks down: • Starmer's reckless war rhetoric • The truth behind UK-US support for Ukraine's drone attacks • Why Starmer's comparisons to Churchill or Thatcher fall flat • Border failures and migrant chaos • Conscription fears and the lack of public support Subscribe, share, and comment your thoughts on whether Starmer should resign before dragging the UK further into global conflict.  #Starmer #Russia #StopTheWar #Ukraine #Putin #NoWarInOurName #UKPolitics #Conscription #BorderCrisis #Thatcher #Churchill #Zelensky #MigrantCrisis #KeirStarmer With Hashtags #KeirStarmer, #NoWar, #RussiaUK, #StarmerVsPutin, #JonGaunt, #Churchill, #Thatcher, #UKPolitics, #UkraineWar, #Zelensky, #StopTheWar, #BritishBorders, #IllegalMigrants, #DroneStrike, #ConscriptionUK, #Putin, #StarmerResign, #LabourParty, #GlobalConflict, #Falklands  Keir Starmer, No War, Russia UK, Starmer Vs Putin, Jon Gaunt, Churchill, Thatcher, UK Politics, Ukraine War, Zelensky, Stop The War, British Borders, Illegal Migrants, Drone Strike, Conscription UK, Putin, Starmer Resign, Labour Party, Global Conflict, Falklands

The UK and EU announced a historic deal to ‘reset' their relationship this week. Keir Starmer called the deal a “win-win”, while a “gobsmacked” Kemi Badenoch labelled it a “surrender”. Who's right? Host George Parker is joined by the FT's Miranda Green, Peter Foster and Andrew Bounds who unpack the agreement and analyse who came out on top. Plus, the prime minister has handed over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, and it didn't come cheap. The panel discusses Starmer's negotiations on the world stage and how they are playing out for him, and his opponents, at home.Follow George on Bluesky or X: @georgewparker.bsky.social, @GeorgeWParker; Miranda @greenmirandahere.bsky.social, Peter @pmdfoster @pmdfoster.bsky.social, Andrew @andybounds.bsky.social, @AndyBounds What did you think of this episode?

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 95-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,766 on turnover of $4.5-billion N-T. Keelung City councilor receives suspended sentence for corruption The Keelung District Court has handed Keelung City Councilor Chang Hao-han a suspended sentence after finding his guilty of embezzling public funds. The court found the D-P-P city councilor guilty of fraudulently claiming 782,000 N-T by falsifying the salary of his office assistant and registering his mother as a phantom (虛假的) employee. However, the court cited Chang's admission of guilt and return of the illicit gains - handing him prison sentence of 24 months - suspended for five years. He remains a Keelung city councilor The court ruling can be appealed. Cannes Critics' Week honors 'Left-Handed Girl' Director Tsou Shih-ching's "Left-Handed Girl" has won the Gan Foundation Award for Distribution at the Cannes Critics' Week. The award is intended to support the French release of a first or second feature film by a new director. Speaking in Cannes after receiving the award, Tsou said the film drew on her many memories from Taiwan, including tense relationships in a traditional family and quiet everyday acts of resistance (反抗) that often went unnoticed. EU Leaders Urge Reinterpretation of Human Rights Convention Leaders of 9 European Union countries say they want a reinterpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights in order to better tackle (對付，處理) irregular migration to the continent and effectively increase deportations. The open letter signed by the leaders of Italy, Denmark, Lithuania Poland and others was made public in Rome late Thursday. It argues that some of the European Court of Human Rights interpretations have limited national governments' ability to expel a minority of migrants who commit crimes. The European Court of Human Rights handles complaints against the 46-member states of the Council of Europe, under the European Convention on Human Rights, including many cases involving migrants and asylum-seekers. UK Chagos Handover to Mauritius The UK will hand over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to the country of Mauritius. That's despite a last-minute injunction (禁令) to stop the plan, which was overturned shortly later by England's High Court. Stuart Smith reports. Panama Venezuela Resume Commercial Flights The Panamanian Civil Aviation Authority says that Panama and Venezuela will resume commercial flights nearly a year after suspending them when they broke off diplomatic relations. Venezuela pulled its diplomatic representation from Panama last July after Panama President Jose Raul Mulino refused to recognize (承認) Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro's reelection. Earlier Thursday, Mulino said during his weekly news briefing that he had received a letter from Venezuela, but that he hadn't immediately read it. Mulino did say, however, that it would be in Panama's interest to resume flights, though he said he also wanted Venezuela to agree to receive Venezuelan migrants deported from Panama.

The UK has signed a deal to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius and lease back the military base there for an average of £101m a year. Keir Starmer says the deal is in the UK's national interest. We hear from a Chagossian woman who tried to stop the deal with a last minute legal challenge.The Trump administration has barred Harvard from enrolling international students -- marking an escalation between Washington and America's richest university. We speak to one of the international students affected.And 30 years since the release of Pulp's Common People, we explore the legacy of the Brit Pop classic.

Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy serve up their essential guide to the day in British politics.   As Sir Keir Starmer waves goodbye to the Chagos Islands and his planned cuts to the winter fuel allowance, Sam and Anne assess what it all means.   How much “backseat driving” on the winter fuel U-turn has come from former chancellor Gordon Brown? And what's the best way to implement a volte face?  And what do the Gauke reforms, set to be accepted by Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, mean for our stretched prison and probation services?

But one island is home to a secretive US military base and, with the growing threat of Chinese influence in the region, America is worried. Yesterday, the Mauritian PM said Sir Keir Starmer intends to “push ahead” with his deal - Whitehall suggested the same.

In this episode, we dive into the controversial decision surrounding the Chagos Islands, with Donald Trump reportedly signing off on a deal to return them to Mauritius. Venetia Rainey sits down with Associate Political Editor Tony Diver to discuss the potential security implications for the UK, US, and Asia, and why Trump might have suddenly backed this move. We also explore the possibility of Trump serving a third term, as political expert Bruce Peabody breaks down the legal options that could make it feasible. He outlines six scenarios that have been around for decades and explains why Trump's camp are not the first to hint at such a move.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/03/31/iran-urged-to-strike-diego-garcia-base-immediately/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/04/01/donald-trump-signs-off-keir-starmer-chagos-deal/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/03/01/mauritius-chagos-islands-agalga-indian-ocean-india-china/Contact us with feedback or ideasbattlelines@telegraph.co.uk @venetiarainey@RolandOliphant Hosted on Acast.

In this video, we explore the question: Has Donald Trump betrayed the UK? We dive into the controversial trade tariffs deal between the US and the UK, the Chagos Islands dispute, and whether Trump's actions are a direct betrayal of the UK and Keir Starmer, or if he's simply putting America first as he promised during his presidential campaign. With tensions rising, Keir Starmer seems to be scrambling to patch things up with Donald Trump, but is this all part of a larger political play? Should the UK have aligned itself more European Union? We also discuss whether the Labour Party's previous criticisms of Trump are now coming back to haunt them. Do you admire Trump's bold and unapologetic style, or do you think Keir Starmer has the better approach for the UK's future? Could this be a moment of payback after years of political sniping between Trump and the Labour Party? Watch this video to get a deeper understanding of the complex political landscape and the future of UK-US relations under these two powerful leaders.

Time for another weekly news debrief: we pick apart the most unhinged headlines and try to make sense of the mainstream media, helping you consume the news critically. The UK agreed to hand the Chagos Islands “back” to Mauritius. But colonial history makes this decision complicated - and crucially, Chagossians were excluded from the discussions… much like Ukraine this week, who were left out of US-Russia peace negotiations. This news made every front page, except for the Daily Mail who wrote about wokeness and the Daily Star who wrote about... sausages. Other stories we cover: more than 65,000 people have complained to Ofcom over a GB News comment comparing queerness to (prepare yourself) paedophilia. We discuss this record-breaking number, and the doubled-down defence of the presenter. And finally, why anti-migrant sentiment led to Sweden's worst mass shooting - and whether the media does a better job at reporting crises, or creating them.

The future of the Chagos Islands hangs in the balance as world leaders debate how really owns the islands and who should be allowed to live there. Since the 1970s, the evicted Chagossian people have been using legal channels to fight their expulsion from their Indian Ocean homes, challenging Britain's claim to its last colony. Led by Olivier Bancoult, a Chagossian activist expelled from Peros Banhos in the 1960s, hundreds of people have been campaigning to be granted the right to return to their land. Despite winning their case in October 2024, the election of US President Donald Trump has thrown the status of the Chagos Islands again into jeopardy. So, as the weeks roll on since Trump's inauguration, the Chagossian people are asking: when will Britain let us go home? Listen as William and Anita are once again joined by barrister, writer and academic, Philippe Sands, to discuss the uncertain future of the Chagos Islands.

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.

This episode of Mid Atlantic tackles two seismic geopolitical issues shaping transatlantic discourse. First, Donald Trump's alarming suggestion that the U.S. should take control of Gaza sparks global outrage, raising questions about America's stance on foreign intervention and human rights. The panel—featuring host Royfield Brown, progressive organizer Aram Fischer, polling expert Logan Phillips, mediator Leah Brown, and tech entrepreneur Michael Donahue—dissects the domestic and international fallout, the Republican Party's reaction, and how this aligns with Trump's broader disregard for international norms.Then, the UK's agreement to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius—while retaining control of Diego Garcia for military operations—triggers fresh debates about colonial legacy and national security. As Keir Starmer takes heat for a deal orchestrated under the Conservatives, the panel examines Britain's reluctance to fully reckon with its imperial past and whether this move signals true decolonization or a carefully managed power play.To wrap up, the panel weighs in on the Super Bowl—some with genuine excitement, others with absolute indifference.

Richard Hermer was one of the surprise announcements from Keir Starmer's first Cabinet, and one of the most contravercial since. Starmer's old pal came with some notable baggage: his former clients include Sri Lankan refugees to the Chagos Islands and ex-Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams, as well as British-Bangladeshi Isis bride Shamima Begum. In government, Hermer has played a key role in several contentious decisions, such as the government's withdrawal of the UK's objections to the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu, and his involvement in the Chagos Islands deal. And today he admitted that he has had to recuse himself ‘from certain matters' due to potential conflicts of interest. Is the government hamstrung by Hermer? James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and Rajiv Shah, former special adviser to the Attorney General and legal adviser to Number 10. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
