A fost summitul NATO un succes? Comentatorii sunt nuanțați în această privință. Criticile încep să apară: europenii l-au lingușit pe președintele american, dar problemele alianței rămân. ”Dacă existau îndoieli că Statele Unite conduc NATO, summitul le-a înlăturat”, concluzionează National Public Radio. Un summit foarte scurt și o declarație de o pagină au fost pregătite pentru a-l menține pe președintele SUA fericit și concentrat. În timp ce Trump zbura spre Olanda, secretarul general al NATO, Mark Rutte, i-a trimis un mesaj text în care vorbea cu entuziasm despre faptul că este pe punctul de a realiza o mare victorie: „Europa va plăti MULT, așa cum ar trebui, și va fi victoria voastră”. Trump a postat mesajul pe rețelele de socializare. Rutte a spus că nu i-a fost rușine și că totul era adevărat. Politico notează că ”oficialii europeni au folosit lingușiri și au evitat detaliile pentru a obține „un vibe bun” și a câștiga bunăvoința președintelui Trump. ”Frustrările legate de poziția lui Trump privind comerțul față de Europa au fost uneori prezente. Președintele francez Emmanuel Macron a remarcat incongruența faptului că SUA cer aliaților să cheltuiască mai mult pe apărare, în timp ce pun presiune pe economii prin tarife vamale. În mod similar, cancelarul german Friedrich Merz s-a exprimat în legătură cu discuțiile comerciale dintre Washington și Bruxelles, afirmând că acestea sunt „prea complicate”. Dar aceste note de discordie au fost în mare parte înecate de armonia izbitoare a acestui summit simplificat”. The New York Times consideră că, ”în ciuda promisiunilor, multe guverne, în special în vestul Europei, vor avea o sarcină politică dificilă de a convinge publicul că amenințarea la adresa securității lor este reală și că banii trebuie cheltuiți pentru descurajare. Iar Le Monde întreabă: ”Cât de departe trebuie să mergem pentru a ne adapta la un președinte american care nu își ascunde disprețul față de partenerii săi europeni și ura pe care o simte față de Uniunea Europeană? Confruntați cu această dilemă de cinci luni, liderii Bătrânului Continent au ales să-și plece capetele pentru a evita o ruptură”. ”Liderii au căzut la picioarele lui Trump la Haga fără demnitate – și pentru ce? Toate problemele cheie ale NATO rămân”, comentează The Guardian. ”Pe termen lung, această conciliere cu Trump nu rezolvă nimic. În termeni politici, summitul de la Haga nu marchează reluarea unor relații normale, cu atât mai puțin începutul unei noi epoci de aur a NATO. Astfel de lucruri nu sunt posibile în era Trump. Este adevărat, lucrurile nu s-au înrăutățit, un rezultat pe care mulți, inclusiv Rutte, îl vor considera un fel de realizare. Cu toate acestea, cele mai multe probleme rămân ferm la locul lor. Prima și cea mai urgentă este Ucraina. Nu s-a schimbat nerăbdarea lui Trump față de Ucraina, încrederea sa într-un armistițiu sau lipsa sa de disponibilitate de a reînnoi ajutorul militar american. A doua dificultate este caracterul imprevizibil absolut al lui Trump. Totul a fost bine aranjat la Haga, dar cât va dura asta? Nimeni nu poate spune”.

Our new season kicks off proper next week with an enthralling episode where the broadcaster Nihal Arthanayake helps us tell the story of the woman who listened – the great Helen Bamber. And we'll be taking you all the way through the summer till it starts getting cold again – introducing you to the tragic tale of the first singer-songwriter alongside the Communards' Sarah-Jane Morris, the first female bodybuilding world champion with Jet from Gladiators, a story of love among the ruins of the concentration camps with the historian Gwen Strauss and the rollicking tale of genius and self-deception with the author Helen Lewis.But to whet your appetite . . . we are absolutely delighted to give you this wonderful taster from the brilliant Astrid & Chinny, the brains behind the award-winning It's A Continent Podcast. Which uncovers key moments in African history, one nation at a time. It is bite-sized history, it is accessible history and it is history which will deepen and broaden all of our understanding. So I strongly recommend seeking them out on apple, spotify, wherever you listen to stuff, right after you've listened to this episode.Which we particularly want to share because Astrid and Chinny got there before us! I really think that this person is someone we should all know about and carry his name in our hearts. He is Patrice Lumumba, and he was a distinguished Pan-African politician who served as the first Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo after the country gained independence. Patrice was well-connected but as he became more politically active and vocal, calling for an end to Belgium's rule and advocating for his country's independence, he became a target of both the Belgian and American governments. To such a point that we need to give you a trigger warning: there is a graphic depiction of death at the 29 minute mark.In the meantime, sit back, enjoy the ride and make sure you're back here from 1st July for the rest of Trapped History's summer season.

La Banque mondiale dresse un constat a priori paradoxal : la production de nourriture a presque doublé au cours des deux dernières décennies sur le continent africain, le commerce de produits alimentaires a lui été multiplié par cinq. Pourtant, l'insécurité alimentaire est en progression constante. En cause essentiellement selon l'organisation : des chaînes d'approvisionnement peu efficaces. Routes chaotiques, point de passages frontaliers congestionnés et barrières tarifaires, ont de gros impacts, relève le rapport. C'est aussi ce dont témoigne à Kolwezi, en RDC, Philippe Seneve, le président du comité des transporteurs à la Fédération des entreprises congolaises. « Je vous donne un exemple très simple pour comprendre. En ce qui concerne les frais de transport, nous prenons la tonne à 145 $ entre Kolwezi et Ndola en Zambie. Nous prenons trente tonnes. Nous sommes aux environs de 4 400 $. Dans ces 4 400 $, il y a 2 200 $ qui ne constituent que les charges de péage entre les deux pays. C'est la moitié », explique Philippe Seneve. Pour compenser, « le transporteur est obligé de faire des manœuvres pour avoir un peu de bénéfice, payer les chauffeurs, payer les carburants et c'est ce qui justifie que nos prix sont beaucoup plus élevés. On le regrette. Ce sont les consommateurs congolais qui payent la lourde facture », poursuit-il. Un outil pour prioriser les infrastructures stratégiques Sur le continent, les produits alimentaires parcourent environ 4 000 km, et leur acheminement prend dix fois plus de temps que dans les régions développées du monde. Conséquences : surcoûts importants et pertes de denrées périssables. Il faut donc améliorer les chaînes d'approvisionnement. Pour cela, la Banque mondiale a travaillé avec un nouvel outil. « Il y a presque deux millions de kilomètres de routes en Afrique et avec ce modèle que l'on a pu construire, on est capable d'identifier quels vont être les 10 000 km les plus pertinents pour relier les agriculteurs africains au marché, pour amener des engrais, des semences, explique Nicolas Peltier-Thiberge, le directeur global des transports de l'institution. On a pu identifier dix ports, une vingtaine de postes frontières et également une vingtaine de corridors de transport qui sont particulièrement importants pour la sécurité alimentaire. » Plus d'un tiers des récoltes sont également perdues faute de lieux de stockage. La Côte d'Ivoire, consciente de cette problématique, est très active en la matière. « C'est un écosystème qu'il faut bâtir. C'est une question de promotion. Il y a une question d'attractivité aussi des investisseurs, voir les coûts de rentabilité. Je peux vous assurer que construire une villa sur 1 000 m² dans un quartier de luxe comme à Cocody est moins rentable mis en location qu'un entrepôt sur 1 000 m² au moins trente fois moins rentable », met en avant Justin N'goran Koffi, le directeur de l'Autorité de régulation des récépissés d'entreposage. Des initiatives ont été prises notamment avec la Zlecaf « pour qu'avec Afreximbank, il y ait des investissements massifs dans la construction d'entrepôts de toutes formes dans les zones de production ». Le coût des transports peut représenter près de la moitié du prix final de certains produits alimentaires. Réduire de 10% ces coûts, pourrait accroître de 25% les échanges et serait bénéfique à la lutte contre l'insécurité alimentaire et permettrait de stimuler les économies régionales.

Si l'essor du numérique sur le continent africain a permis à de nombreuses personnes de s'exprimer, de partager leurs idées, de débattre, il a aussi ouvert un nouvel espace virtuel bien moins positif. Moqueries sur le physique, images diffusées sans consentement, commentaires haineux qui tournent à l'insulte voire aux menaces. Le harcèlement en ligne peut prendre différentes formes et transformer la vie virtuelle et réelle de la personne qui le subit, en cauchemar. Confrontées aux injonctions sociales, aux traditions, aux stéréotypes de genre auxquels, elles font face, les femmes sont particulièrement vulnérables en ligne. Selon une enquête de 2020 menée par l'Unesco sur la violence en ligne à l'encontre des femmes dans 15 pays du continent africain, 73% des femmes journalistes ayant participé à l'enquête avaient subi des violences sur internet.

Greenpeace Africa says 42,000 South Africans died because of air pollution in 2023, and wants South African energy producers to be held to account. But how will the country balance environmental risks with its energy demands? Eddy Micah Jr. talks to Greenpeace campaign lead Cynthia Moyo, and DW's Thuso Khumalo in Johannesburg.
Laurent remembers vividly his trip to Sofia Bulgaria in winter 2009 when the Russian had cut the gas for Bulgaria during a -15C winter. Russia was already playing hard ball because of (guess what) a financial disagreement with Ukraine. The blackmail lasted 3 weeks, and the poor Bulgarians were cutting the trees from their equivalent of Hyde Park or Central Park not to freeze to death. Lots of progress has been made since then, and Eastern Europe is an emerging bright spot of development for Renewables. It is not just about Economics but also about Security of Supply. We bring in Dimitar Enchev, Cofounder & CEO Europe at CWP - a global renewable energy company, behind some of the largest projects in Southeast Europe. CWP has been active since 2007 and developed the largest projects in Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, including Europe's largest onshore wind farm for 10 years – a 600MW project in Romania and has now partnered with Mercuria, one of the largest energy trading houses in the world. They discuss how Eastern Europe felt the largest blunt of Russia's Energy War and how they have been accustomed to living, surviving and thriving with a hostile and aggressive neighbour, always prompt to weaponize energy. Is Europe “bringing a knife to a gunfight” when it comes to countering Russia?We explain how opportunities have risen from this difficult environment and how the decorrelation of wind and solar between the East and West of the Continent, and a continuous integration with the global European Grid creates significant investment opportunities. It is about Transmission, Resilience, Hybridization and digitization.

La pollution plastique dans les eaux africaines n'a jamais été aussi élevée. Chaque année, des millions de tonnes de déchets se déversent dans les océans bordant le continent, menaçant les écosystèmes marins et les populations côtières qui en dépendent. Mais contrairement au Pacifique, les données aujourd'hui disponibles sur la pollution plastique autour de l'Afrique demeurent très limitées, freinant de facto la compréhension de ce phénomène. Pour combler ces lacunes, plusieurs études scientifiques essentielles ont été récemment lancées dans le sud-ouest de l'océan Indien, zone particulièrement complexe. Reportage de notre envoyée spéciale de retour des Seychelles, Sarah Tétaud Aussi idylliques soient-elles, les plages des Seychelles ne sont pas épargnées par les détritus qui viennent s'y échouer. « À chaque nouvelle marée, explique un plagiste, on retrouve des petits bouts de plastiques, des sachets... On nettoie deux fois par jour. Même les touristes ramassent les saletés et nous les apportent pour qu'on les mette à la poubelle ». Cette pollution, visible à différents degrés sur les côtes africaines, ainsi que ses effets, restent cependant assez mal connus à l'échelle du continent. Yashvin Neehaul, scientifique, spécialiste de la chimie des océans, basé à Maurice, est co-auteur du livre The African Marine Litter Outlook : « Pour comprendre la pollution plastique marine, il est essentiel de commencer par identifier les sources ainsi que les voies de dispersion des déchets plastiques. Dans les pays continentaux, les rivières et autres cours d'eau constituent les principaux vecteurs de transport des plastiques vers les océans. En fonction des courants marins et de la topographie côtière, ces déchets s'accumulent dans certaines zones spécifiques, le long des côtes africaines ». Les chercheurs ont défini deux zones qui concentreraient des milliers de kilomètres carrés de ce qu'ils appellent des « soupes de microplastiques ». L'une dans l'océan Atlantique, au sud de l'Afrique du Sud ; l'autre dans l'océan Indien, au sud de Madagascar. Néanmoins, rappelle Yashvin Neehaul : « Il est difficile de se prononcer sur les sites exacts où s'accumule le plastique. Pourquoi ? Parce qu'il y a un manque de données sur l'étude des courants autour du continent africain ». Et c'est particulièrement le cas pour la façade est de l'Afrique, comme l'explique Christophe Maes, océanographe et physicien à l'IRD, du Laboratoire d'océanographie physique et spatiale, à Brest, en France : « L'océan Indien souffre d'un manque d'observation in situ et a un gros retard par rapport aux autres océans, tout simplement parce que ce n'est pas forcément le lieu de passage des principaux rails de navigation océanique ... ». Pour y remédier, un programme de collecte de données a lieu en ce moment-même dans le sud-ouest de l'océan Indien, grâce au largage, à partir du navire Plastic Odyssey, de bouées dérivantes, qui émettent un signal GPS.« Quand on lâche des bouées, explique Christophe Maes, ça nous permet d'avoir une description au moins à l'échelle de la bouée, des principaux mouvements de l'océan pour valider nos modèles, et à partir de ces modèles, essayer de mieux comprendre la dynamique que peuvent subir les plastiques dans l'océan Indien. Et le second intérêt de ces largages et d'études sur leur dispersion, c'est qu'en utilisant nos modèles “dans l'autre sens”, on va pouvoir remonter à l'origine de ces plastiques qui viennent polluer l'ensemble de la région. Ça va permettre de comprendre leur dispersion depuis leur zone d'origine à l'échelle de l'océan Indien, et peut-être même plus loin ». Des programmes novateurs et surtout d'intérêt international. La pollution plastique dans les eaux africaines n'a jamais été aussi élevée. Si la majorité des déchets en mer provient de la terre ferme, les chercheurs estiment toutefois que l'abandon et la perte d'équipement de pêche dans les océans seraient responsables jusqu'à 30 % de la diminution des ressources halieutiques.

Though the twice-widowed Catherine's heart was definitely with Thomas Seymour, Henry VIII had other plans for his future and final wife. He took to spending time at his daughter Princess Mary's court, where Catherine was part of the household, and eventually dispatched Seymour on an important - and open duration - diplomatic mission on the Continent. It took some wooing, but Catherine finally accepted the King's marriage proposal, and the couple were wed in July 1543 at Hampton Court Palace. Catherine was an exceptional Queen for him. She was deeply engaged in loving relationships with Henry's children, and her influence went a long way to stitching together some sort of family dynamic after the traumas of his exile of Mary's mother and his murder of Elizabeth's. And she thrived in the role. Catherine is the first woman in England to publish a book in her own name, and stood for the first full-length portrait of an English queen, with a rare and fabulously expensive Turkish rug under her feet, as a king would be presented. She was a reformer at heart who only landed seriously on Henry's bad side once, it seems, but was also enough of a diplomat to smooth things over and, let's be honest, possibly save herself from a bad morning on the Tower Green. We leave this episode with Henry's death, but that's not the end of Catherine Parr's story. Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast.

A special episode as we leave the city for a few years and look to the ever-so-important war with France raging across on the Continent. Picking up after Henry V's victory at Agincourt, we look at why the next few years of this war were entirely different from any other part of it so far, look at the situation in France that allowed Henry do so bloody well, follow the King as he rampages across the nation, seemingly invincible… and look at why his sudden death was not the complete disaster it could have been. A chapter where we look to the external forces that were going to influence events in London for decades to come.

With the instincts of a warrior and the heart of a leader, Mohamed Amin built Camerapix into a sustainable, world class organization covering news, features and producing documentaries with a variety of global networks including the BBC, NBC and Reuters. Today, Salim has continued that tradition by helping educate Africa's youth through the Mohamed Amin Foundation and as a founder of Africa 24 Media, a media platform that was dedicated to positive stories about the culture and history of Africa.Recognized in 2007 as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in Davos, Salim's leadership has been rewarded. Today, Camerapix works in collaboration with production partners throughout Africa, Britain, Europe, Asia and the United States. New African Magazine has recognized Salim as one of the top “100 Most Influential Africans” and has named Salim among their “Top 50 Under 50.” Salim was one of only 150 global leaders invited to President Obama's 2010 summit on Presidential Entrepreneurship in Washington DC.Salim's work as a producer includes the internationally acclaimed feature documentary Mo & Me, the One.org production of Revisiting Korem, and executive producing the award-winning documentary The Sound Man. As an on-camera host and producer, Salim achieved acclaim across the Continent for his production of more than 150 episodes of The Scoop, a weekly half hour series featuring Africa's foremost voices in art, culture and finance. At it's peak, The Scoop reached more than 300 million viewers weekly in broadcast and online viewership.Salim published his first book in 2019 titled KENYA: Through My Father's Eyes, a coffee-table book showcasing his father's unique images of Kenya. It is also the first historical book on Africa incorporating Augmented Reality with 12 videos embedded in the pages of the book.Since 2020 Salim has been documenting and preserving Kenya's history through interviews and features, and working on the construction of Kenya's largest history Museum. He refers to his work as a “conservation of history”.In 2024, together with production partner Chip Duncan, Salim co-produced the multi-award-winning documentary Stand Together As One: The Famine. The Music. The Impact to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the great Ethiopian Famine and We Are The World, Band Aid and Live Aid.Connect with Salim and Chip:Salim's Instagram: @salimcamerapixtvWebsite: https://artsandculture.google.com/pocketgallery/Thank you for listening.

Who will defend Europe? The answer should be obvious: Europe should be able to defend itself. Yet, for decades, most of the continent enjoyed a defence holiday, outsourcing protection to the United States while banking an increasingly illusory ‘peace dividend'. Now, after three decades of reducing armed forces and drawing down defence industries, Europe finds itself close to unprotected—while Russia is intent on continuing its war of expansion, and the US is distracted and divided. In Who Will Defend Europe?: An Awakened Russia and a Sleeping Continent (Hurst & Co., 2024), Keir Giles lays out the stark choices facing leaders and societies as they confront the return of war in Europe. He explains how the West's unwillingness to confront Russia has nurtured the threat, and that Putin's ambition puts the whole continent at risk. He assesses the role and deficiencies of NATO as a guarantor of hard security, and whether the EU or coalitions of the willing can fill the gap. Above all, Giles emphasises the need for new leadership in defence of the free world after the US has stepped aside— and warns that the UK's brief moment of setting the pace for Europe has already been squandered. Keir Giles has advised governments worldwide on the Russian threat. A senior fellow with Chatham House's Russia and Eurasia Programme, and Director of the Conflict Studies Research Centre, he is a regular commentator for the BBC and international media. His prescient books include What Deters Russia and Moscow Rules. Learn more about your ad choices.

After a two-week hiatus, the BFG Podcast is back, and the culture belongs to us as usual. Host Neal Pollack has returned from his anniversary trip to the Continent, and Stephen Garrett was in Europe as well, covering the Cannes Film Festival like he has done every year since before he can remember. This year, Iranian dissident filmmaker Jafar Panahi won the Palme D'Or for his film 'It Was Just An Accident,' the sixth straight year a film distributed by Neon has taken the prize. Neal and Stephen discuss that and then Stephen does a speedy run-through of the festival, covering all the awards winners and other significant films, including the new Spike Lee movie, which he gets in just under the wire as Neal attempts to close out the segment.Nathan Fielder delivered a brilliant six episodes of television with Season 2 of The Rehearsal, which ostensibly is about airplane safety, and is about airplane safety, but is also about so much more. Omar Gallaga appears to talk with Neal about The Rehearsal's narrative sleight-of-hand, which they both love. But there's a curious phenomenon: It's mostly men who jibe with Nathan Fielder's comedy. Neal and Omar, or actors playing them, try to break down this curious situation. In the tradition of Nathan Fielder, they both fail and succeed at the same time.Stephen Garrett is back, to discuss Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning, which he saw at Cannes and which Neal saw at his usual spot, the Alamo Drafthouse Lakeline in Austin. Either way, it's a bombastic edition of the long-running action franchise. Both Neal and Stephen loved the extended submarine action sequence in the middle, and enjoyed a taste of the biplane action scene toward the end, but found the overwrought dialogue tiring, the characters thin at best, and some of the plot laughably stupid. It's about as subtle as a hammer to the face or a nuclear bomb that must be defused in five minutes.Did we mention that the podcast is back? Enjoy!

Gabon should be a model of prosperity—yet its oil riches were siphoned into offshore mansions and luxury fleets by the Bongo kleptocracy.

Donald Trump is on a deportation spree, shipping out refugees from across the globe, often without due process. But somehow, white South African farmers are being welcomed with open arms. Wonder why? (Spoiler: it's racism.) To break down what's really happening in South Africa and where this “white genocide” myth came from, Don sits down with Simon Allison, co-founder of The Continent and one of the smartest voices covering the region. They unpack the dangerous misinformation fueling U.S. immigration policy, what the data actually says (hint: there is NO white genocide), and how South Africa's complex challenges are being twisted to serve far-right fantasies. It's time to separate fact from fear-mongering and call out the hypocrisy for what it is. This episode is brought to you by the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
