Los asalto rusos se intensifican con el uso masivo de blindados, motocicletas de incursión y artillería pesada, mientras las fuerzas ucranianas intentan contener el avance en condiciones extremas. En este nuevo episodio de Frente de Batalla, José María Rodríguez y Francisco García Campa analizan con rigor la crítica situación en Pokrovsk, las implicaciones militares de las últimas ofensivas rusas y el colapso logístico en el eje del Donetsk. Pero la batalla no solo se libra en el campo: En el terreno diplomático, Donald Trump y Volodímir Zelensky mantienen una relación cada vez más tensa, marcada por la incertidumbre de la futura ayuda militar estadounidense. Mientras tanto, la reunión en Budapest entre Putin y Trump ha sido cancelada sine die, desatando especulaciones sobre un posible bloqueo en las negociaciones indirectas para una tregua o acuerdo de garantías de seguridad. ¿Qué significa este movimiento para el equilibrio del conflicto? ¿Está Trump buscando marcar distancias antes de asumir una posición formal sobre Ucrania? ¿O es una maniobra rusa para ganar tiempo antes del invierno?

Depuis 2022, Maurine Mercier est correspondante en Ukraine. Pour la RTS, radio publique suisse francophone, elle produit un podcast nommé Carnets d'Ukraine. Le 11 octobre 2025, un de ses reportages a été récompensé au prix Bayeux Calvados-Normandie des correspondants de guerre. Maurine Mercier est l'invitée de L'atelier des médias. Lauréate du 1er prix radio au Prix Bayeux Calvados-Normandie des correspondants de guerre 2025 pour son reportage « Pokrovsk de fleurs dans les ruines », Maurine Mercier a exprimé sa surprise. « Je ne pensais pas que le jury de Bayeux serait assez punk pour récompenser ce reportage » dans lequel deux Ukrainiennens racontent qu'elles « redécouvrent leur plaisir sexuel dans une ville qui se fait envahir », a-t-elle expliqué sur scène. Correspondante en Ukraine depuis 2022, Maurine Mercier explique que les récompenses comme celle-ci – c'est la 3e fois en quatre ans qu'elle reçoit le 1er prix à Bayeux – l'aident à défendre devant sa hiérarchie l'importance de couvrir les conflits qui durent, malgré la « news fatigue ». Elle met en garde contre le risque que l'Ukraine devienne un « trou noir » médiatique. De Salgado au rejet de l'envoyé spécial Née à Lausanne en 1981, Maurine Mercier se souvient avoit été marquée à l'âge de six ans par une exposition du photographe brésilien Sebastião Salgado : un « déclic » pour « aller voir le monde ». Elle se souvient de la leçon que Salgado lui a donnée lors d'une interview : « Tu ne regardes pas assez bien. » Après avoir appris son métier à la télévision locale TVRL, elle entre à la RTS en 2012. Mais le rôle d'envoyée spéciale ne luit convient pas. Elle préfère « rester des années dans un pays pour être sûre de dire le moins de bêtises possible ». Aussi, en 2016, elle part s'installer à Tunis pour couvrir l'Afrique du Nord, principalement la Libye. Elle y restera six ans. Carnets d'Ukraine : le format « note vocale » Lorsque l'invasion à grande échelle de l'Ukraine éclate en 2022, Maurine Mercier est en Tunisie. Sa première expérience de zone de guerre remonte à 2014, lorsqu'elle s'était « autoprojetée » à Donetsk. Elle livre un « bras de fer » pour convaincre la RTS de l'envoyer en Ukraine, où elle s'installe durablement en août 2022. En février 2024, elle lance Carnets d'Ukraine, diffusé d'abord en radio sur la RTS. Avec une « écriture podcast » basée sur des pastilles au format « note vocale », afin de créer de la proximité avec les auditeurs. Pour la première fois, elle s'autorise l'emploi du « je » pour décrire ses émotions, car « mon je, en fait, c'est vous ».  Être une femme journaliste en zone de conflit Être une femme est « toujours un avantage » sur le terrain, affirme Maurine Mercier. Elle prend l'exemple de la Libye, où les reporters masculins, ne pouvant entrer dans les maisons, sont privés d'échange avec la moitié de la population. En Ukraine, cela permet des « dialogues » plus profonds avec les soldats, car elle leur rappelle leurs proches. Maurine Mercier mentionne aussi Artem, son ami et fixeur, et avec qui l'humour est leur « médicament antidouleur ». Honnêteté et nécessité d'être à la hauteur Sa frustration professionnelle est de ne couvrir la guerre russe en Ukraine que depuis un seul côté car elle n'obtient pas de réponse à ses demandes pour aller dans les territoires ukrainiens occupés. Elle soutient qu'une guerre « ça se couvre de toutes parts », car c'est une manière de rétablir le dialogue et de dénoncer l'absurdité de la propagande. L'honnêteté est fondamentale pour le pacte de confiance avec le public, rappelle Maurine Mercier pour qui il est essentiel de montrer que l'Ukraine est complexe, ne pas omettre la corruption et les divisions. Elle conclut son intervention en espérant que ses reportages « puissent permettre à des jeunes [...] de faire quelque chose pour bâtir la paix, la démocratie », soulignant que les Européens doivent être « à la hauteur de ce qu'[ils] prétend[ent] défendre ».

Ukraine: à Sloviansk, la dernière maternité ouverte de la région de Donetsk poursuit ses accouchements sous les bombardements

En Ukraine, alors que la population est appelée à quitter de nouvelles communes de la région de Donetsk, des dizaines de milliers d'Ukrainiens toujours sur place vivent sous les frappes russes devenues quotidiennes et une situation humanitaire qui se dégrade. À Sloviansk, l'une des deux dernières grandes agglomérations encore libres du Donbass, avec Kramatorsk, sa ville jumelle, la dernière maternité encore ouverte de la région continue à recevoir et à accoucher des dizaines de patientes chaque mois, malgré la situation qui se dégrade quotidiennement, et la proximité du front. De notre envoyée spéciale à Slaviansk, En arrivant dans la maternité de Sloviansk, le calme des couloirs d'hôpital est frappant, il semble désert, et pour cause : au moment de ce tournage, les bébés et leur maman sont tous rentrés chez eux, car des bombes planantes sont tombées à trois reprises à quelques dizaines de mètres seulement de l'hôpital. « Notre maternité est la seule encore active de la partie non occupée de la région de Donetsk à l'heure actuelle. Nous travaillons dans des conditions difficiles, des bombardements constants, surtout aujourd'hui, explique Volodymyr Ivanenko, 69 ans, directeur de l'hôpital. (...) Dans la situation actuelle, on peut prendre des mesures d'évacuation, c'est-à-dire renvoyer chez elles les patientes qui peuvent l'être. Le personnel restant est à son poste pour fournir tous les soins médicaux nécessaires. » Malgré les ordres d'évacuation répétés issus par les autorités, la patientèle continue d'affluer, et avec elle, les naissances dans cette ville si proche de la ligne de front : « En cas d'évacuation de la population, bien sûr que les actes médicaux diminueront également, mais regardez : avant la guerre, nous avions plus de cent naissances par mois, et maintenant, nous en avons quarante. » Anastasia Yevgenovna, cheffe du département de néonatologie, explique pourquoi les naissances sont toujours nombreuses : « Beaucoup de femmes ne veulent pas quitter la ville, et il y a aussi celles qui viennent d'autres régions d'Ukraine, car leur mari sont soldats ici. » C'est le cas de Dasha, 22 ans et future maman, qui précise : « Je pense que c'est très important, c'est une bonne chose qu'il y ait des gynécologues qui restent en ville, car les militaires se déplacent désormais d'une ville à l'autre, et parfois avec leurs proches. » « Il y a davantage de pathologies chez les femmes Pourtant, si la vie continue d'être donnée si près du front, la guerre a des conséquences directes sur la santé des mères et de leurs enfants : « Il y a davantage de pathologies chez les femmes, d'abord le stress, puis toutes ces substances qui se retrouvent dans l'environnement à cause des munitions, dont on ne sait pas ce qu'elles contiennent... Et des enfants trisomiques qui, pour une raison ou une autre, ne se sont pas présentés, car leurs mères n'étaient pas enregistrées, viennent des villages proches de la ligne de front, où les combats font rage, et disent ne pas avoir la possibilité de se rendre à la clinique prénatale » Depuis cet été, la situation humanitaire s'est considérablement dégradée dans l'ensemble de la région de Donetsk. Malgré le danger, les femmes enceintes peuvent encore y donner la vie dans un cadre médicalisé, mais si la maternité de Sloviansk fermait ses portes, elles ne pourraient plus bénéficier d'un suivi médical adéquat.

It's Monday, October 6, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Muslims decapitated or shot 30 Christians in Mozambique, Africa Over 30 Christians were beheaded in a series of recent attacks in northern Mozambique, Africa by Islamic State-affiliated terrorists who also released graphic photographs showing the executions, shootings, and widespread arson, reports The Christian Post. The group targeted multiple villages across Cabo Delgado and Nampula provinces, setting fire to churches and homes in a campaign of violence against civilians. According to The Middle East Media Research Institute, the Islamic State Mozambique group released a 20-image photoset this week, documenting its operatives executing civilians by beheading and close-range gunfire, and burning down homes and churches. The Mozambican insurgency, active since 2017, has led to the deaths of at least 6,200 people. In Deuteronomy 32:35, God says, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time, their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near, and their doom rushes upon them.” The United Nations estimates that more than 1 million people in northern Mozambique have been displaced since the conflict began, due to a combination of militant violence, prolonged drought and extreme weather events. Open Doors ranks Mozambique, Africa as the 37th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Nigerian Muslims killed kidnapped pastor after receiving ransom Armed Muslim groups in Kwara State, Nigeria killed a local pastor after abducting him and receiving ransom payments from his community, reports International Christian Concern. Rev. James Issa, a pastor with the Evangelical Church Winning All, was taken from Ekati village on August 28.  His abductors initially demanded $67,000. Weeks of negotiations followed, with family members, church leaders, and villagers contributing funds to secure his release.  The community raised $3,300, a sum far beyond the means of the rural community. The money was delivered to the kidnappers, but instead of releasing the pastor, the armed group demanded an additional $30,000. Before any further talks could take place, they killed Rev. Issa.  Netanyahu demands release of all 48 hostages in order to end war On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that no part of U.S. President Donald Trump's peace plan will be enacted until all 48 hostages, alive and dead, are returned to Israeli territory, reports The Jerusalem Post. Additionally, Netanyahu stated that if the hostages are not released by Trump's deadline, "Israel will resume fighting with full backing from all involved countries." However, speaking to Israeli journalist Barak Ravid, President Trump told Netanyahu, “Bibi, this is your chance for victory.”  Currently, there is no set deadline for the hostage release, although negotiations to finalize the plan are set to begin in Cairo, Egypt today. An anonymous source told the Jerusalem Post that (a) Hamas, the Muslim terrorist group, is committed to reaching an agreement to end the war in the Gaza Strip and (b) the release of the hostages will be carried out gradually over several days through the International Red Cross. Secretary of State Marco Rubio appeared on NBC's “Meet the Press” with Kristen Welker. WELKER: “I want to start with these peace negotiations in the Middle East. Is this now the end of the war in Gaza?” RUBIO: “Well, not yet. There's some work remains to be done, and I would view it in two phases, in terms of understanding how to break this out. “The first piece of it, which is very clear from the letter in Hamas' response, is they have agreed to the President's hostage release framework. And what needs to happen now, and they acknowledge in the letter in their response, is there now needs to be meetings which are occurring, even as I speak to you now, and hopefully will be finalized very quickly on the logistics of that. “What that means is, who goes in to get them? Is it the Red Cross? You know, when do they show up? What place are they going to be? And the conditions have to be created for that to happen. You can't have bombs going off and fighting going on in the middle of this exchange. So, that's piece one. And we want to see that happen as soon as possible, all 48 hostages, both living and deceased. “The second part of it, it's even harder, and that is the long term piece. What happens after Israel pulls back to the yellow line, and potentially beyond that, as this thing develops? How do you create this Palestinian technocratic leadership that's not Hamas, that's not terrorists, and with the help of the international community? “How do you disarm any sort of terrorist groups that are going to be building tunnels and conducting attacks against Israel? How do you get them to demobilize? All that work -- that's going to be hard. But that's critical, because without that, you're not going to have lasting peace. You may get the hostages back, you may get a cessation of hostilities, but in the long term, it's going to happen all over again.” Hero Ukrainian soldier kills 27 Russian troops A heroic Ukrainian warrior killed 27 Russian soldiers singlehandedly while defending two bridges surrounded by enemy forces, reports The U.S. Sun. Rus spent over seven weeks crouched in a putrid-smelling basement protecting the crossings -- armed with nothing more than a firearm and pure grit. The valiant soldier has been recommended for the Hero of Ukraine medal, the country's highest military honor, for his brave work. He personally killed 27 Kremlin forces - steadfast in his defense of the crossings in Dopropilia, in Ukraine's Donetsk region. Speaking to The Times, he recalled the grim reality of spending almost two months taking cover in a gloomy basement as Russian drones buzzed overhead.  He could only use the toilet "at dusk or at dawn" over fears of being struck and for seven weeks only washed with baby wipes. First-ever woman becomes Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally has been chosen as the new Anglican archbishop of Canterbury, marking the first time a woman has been named to the highest ecclesiastical position in the Anglican Church, reports LifeSiteNews.com. In 1 Timothy 2:12, the Apostle Paul wrote, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.” The seat of the archbishop of Canterbury had been vacant since January 7, 2025, when Archbishop Justin Welby resigned due to allegations of mishandling an abuse case involving John Smyth who beat Winchester Boarding School students until they bled, leaving permanent scars. MarketWatch: 22 states already in recession And finally, according to Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, the U.S. economy is very close to falling into a damaging contraction. Many states are already experiencing a recession. Zandi estimates that 22 states, plus the District of Columbia, are now experiencing persistent economic weakness and job losses that are likely to continue. Another 13 states are treading water. The overall picture is one of a weak U.S. economy that is vulnerable to being pushed into a ditch by a strong wind. The economist added, “The economy is still not in recession, but the risks are very high. We're on the precipice.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, October 6th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Donetsk perdue, Kramatorsk est devenue de fait la capitale du Donbass ukrainien, elle voit le front se rapprocher. À vol d'oiseau, il est à une quinzaine de kilomètres et la ville elle-même est régulièrement bombardée. Face aux grignotages incessants du territoire par les forces russes, cette question est de plus en plus prégnante pour les Ukrainiens. Partir ou rester ? La Russie contrôle plus de 70% de la région de Donetsk et la quasi-totalité de celle de Louhansk, elle veut aller plus loin, de gré ou de force. Une perspective redoutée, mais espérée également par certains... En seconde partie d'émission, la réunification allemande, 35 ans après, que reste-t-il de la RDA, l'Allemagne de l'Est, un reportage de Nathalie Versieux.  Est de l'Ukraine, lâcher du terrain ou combattre jusqu'au bout ? Plus de trois ans et demi après la percée des chars russes et 11 ans après le début du conflit, Kramatorsk, devenue de fait la capitale du Donbass ukrainien, voit le front se rapprocher. Les premiers combats sont à une quinzaine de km à vol d'oiseau et la ville elle-même est régulièrement bombardée. Partir ou rester ? La question se fait de plus en plus pressante pour de nombreux habitants de la partie du Donbass sous contrôle ukrainien. À mesure que le front se rapproche, et avec lui, les destructions, des centaines de personnes sont obligées de prendre la route de l'exil.  La Russie contrôle plus de 70% de la région de Donetsk et la quasi-totalité de celle de Louhansk. Elle cherche à s'emparer de la totalité de ce territoire par la force ou la négociation. Une perspective terriblement redoutée mais espérée aussi par certains, alors que les conditions de vie se dégradent chaque jour un peu plus. Un Grand reportage d'Anastasia Becchio et Julien Boileau qui s'entretiennent avec Jacques Allix. Réunification allemande: 35 ans plus tard, que reste-t-il de la RDA? 3 octobre 1990. L'Allemagne divisée depuis 1949 est désormais réunifiée, un peu moins d'un an après l'ouverture du Mur de Berlin en novembre 1989. Fin de 40 ans de partition du pays. 35 ans plus tard, que reste-t-il de l'ex-RDA ? À Berlin, des quantités de traces ont disparu, notamment de nombreux symboles politiques du régime. En province, le passé est-allemand est souvent plus visible. Aujourd'hui, une nouvelle génération semble redécouvrir la valeur architecturale et artistique de la RDA. Mais le débat reste vivace. L'ouest de l'Allemagne ne cède rien de son rejet du communisme. Et l'est du pays dénonce une forme de colonialisation par ses colocataires de l'Ouest. Un Grand reportage de Nathalie Versieux qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

Russian troops have made incremental gains in parts of eastern Ukraine, although their advances elsewhere have stalled. Also, as part of a cultural initiative to counter the influence of narco-corridos, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's government is hosting “México Canta” or “Mexico Sings,” a national songwriting contest designed to promote nonviolent musical expressions. And, the World Bank is sending $4 billion to Argentina ahead of schedule, attempting to stabilize the country's cratering economy. Plus, Chicago has a long history with organized crime.

FIRST HOUR 9-915 HEADLINE: Global Allies Worry About US Division, Adversaries Exploit Weakness GUEST AND TITLE: Ambassador Husain Haqqani, Hudson Institute Director of Eurasia Project; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies SUMMARY: Ambassador Husain Haqqani states US allies are "very worried" by American internal division and extreme rhetoric, unlike past unity. Bill Roggio notes similar European issues, but the US now seems to lead in domestic disorder. Adversaries like China, Russia, and Islamist extremists exploit this polarization, using social media manipulation and citing Western decline. Both emphasize leaders must reduce aggressive rhetoric, promote bipartisan cooperation, and control social media to heal divisions, advocating for unity to counter external exploitation and domestic radicalization. 915-930 HEADLINE: Global Allies Worry About US Division, Adversaries Exploit Weakness GUEST AND TITLE: Ambassador Husain Haqqani, Hudson Institute Director of Eurasia Project; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies 930-945 HEADLINE: Political Crises Deepen in Brazil and Venezuela Amidst US Pressure GUEST AND TITLE: Alejandro Peña Esclusa, Venezuelan writer and thinker; Ernesto Araújo, former Foreign Minister of the Republic of Brazil SUMMARY: Ernesto Araújo discusses former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's conviction for an alleged assassination plot, calling it a "show trial" despite a dissenting judge's opinion. He notes Bolsonaro's failed anti-system movement. Alejandro Peña Esclusa reports a US military buildup near Venezuela, fostering internal military discussions about turning in Maduro.

Israel responded with strikes on Houthi military and media infrastructure in Sana'a, causing civilian casualties. US Treasury sanctioned 32 Houthi-affiliated individuals/entities for supporting Iranian-backed smuggling networks. Toomey confirms Iran absolutely provides weapons, mostly via ship routes, despite interdiction efforts. She notes Houthis are undeterred, fueled by past attacks, and will likely continue unless Iran is held accountable.

Tan claims Yoon aligns with the Chinese Communist Party and North Korea, dismantling counterintelligence and attending parades with Putin and Kim Jong-un. He reports Chinese nationals, pro-Yoon, illegally voted, and a third of South Korean police are reportedly CCP operatives. Yoon'sapproval is low, with most Koreans distrusting the CCP and prioritizing the US alliance. 1045-1100 HEADLINE: China's Advanced Weapon Systems and Global Asteroid Defense Ambitions GUEST AND TITLE: Rick Fisher, Senior Fellow, International Assessment and Strategy Center; Gordon Chang, author and geopolitical analyst SUMMARY: Rick Fisher discusses China's new DF-26D ballistic missile, capable of intercepting aircraft carriers up to 4,000 km, and other advanced unmanned weapon systems surpassing US capabilities. Gordon Chang questions US defense against these hypersonic threats. Fisher notes Russia's Energia space program faces financial distress due to the Ukraine war. China proposes an international asteroid defense, inviting global participation. Fisher warns this PLA-controlled initiative could be a front to develop anti-satellite capabilities and challenge the US in future conflicts.

He suggests Ukraine's counterattacks are part of an active defense, and their focus on Pokrovsk is strategically sound despite manpower shortages. Hardie highlights recent massive Russian drone barrages, including one into Poland, as a "wake-up call" for NATO to improve cost-effective air defenses. He advocates for stronger US secondary sanctions on Russian oil revenue and untying Ukraine's hands for long-range strikes. 1115-1130 HEADLINE: Ukraine Advances in Sumy, NATO Urged to Boost Russia Sanctions GUEST AND TITLE: John Hardie, Foundation for Defense of Democracies; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies130-1145 HEADLINE: MIT Professor Explains the Discovery of Ionic Liquid, Expanding Search for Extraterrestrial Life GUEST AND TITLE: Professor Sara Seager, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; David Livingston, Dr. Space of the Space Show SUMMARY: Professor Sara Seager discusses the accidental lab discovery of ionic liquids, a non-evaporating liquid salt potentially sustaining life on planets without water, expanding the traditional "habitable zone" concept.

Despite the failure, she believes Israel's defense capabilities and past decapitation efforts were incredible, fostering public resolve against terrorism. Kissel notes Qatar's role as a money-laundering center and host of terror groups, despite its strategic importance to the US. She emphasizes that Iran, the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, remains defiant regarding its nuclear and missile programs, posing an ongoing challenge for Israel and the US.1215-1230 Guest Names: Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio Summary: Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio discuss Al-Sharaa, the self-named president of Syria, who was appointed by militia leaders. His loyalist-drafted constitution grants him extensive powers, with key ministries held by former HTScommanders, and minority representatives serving as mere tokens. Formal Name: Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio, Foundation for the Defense of Democracies 1230-1245 HEADLINE: Genocide Allegations Against Israel Debunked by Expert Analysis GUEST AND TITLE: Peter Berkowitz, Tad and Diane Taube Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution at Stanford University SUMMARY: Peter Berkowitz debunks genocide allegations against Israel, emphasizing the UN definition requires intent to destroy a group. He questions the credibility of the International Association of Genocide Scholars. Berkowitz highlights the absurdity, noting the Palestinian population tripled since the 1980s despite such claims. He attributes propaganda success to Hamas's use of human shields, shifting responsibility for civilian casualties. A comprehensive report systematically refutes claims of deliberate starvation, civilian targeting, and infrastructure bombing, demonstrating Israel's precautions.1245-100 AM HEADLINE: Genocide Allegations Against Israel Debunked by Expert Analysis GUEST AND TITLE: Peter Berkowitz, Tad and Diane Taube Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution at Stanford University SUMMARY: Peter Berkowitz debunks genocide allegations against Israel, emphasizing the UN definition require

Grandir dans un climat de violence : les enfants de Ciudad Juarez

Journal d'Haïti et des Amériques

Ciudad Juarez au Mexique est considérée comme l'une des villes les plus violentes au monde. Plus de 10 000 assassinats y ont été recensés entre 2007 et 2011. Cela signifie qu'une génération d'enfants, souvent livrés à eux-mêmes, sans aucun repère ni perspectives, n'ont connu que la violence. Un reportage de Louise Kim. Ciudad Juárez s'est développée autour des maquiladoras, des usines à bas coût, qui ont attiré des milliers de travailleurs logés dans de petits appartements sans infrastructures sociales : ni écoles, ni parcs, ni hôpitaux. Les enfants grandissent souvent sans cadre parental, encadrés par des adultes extérieurs à leur famille, ce qui les expose très tôt au tabac, à l'alcool et aux stupéfiants. La combinaison de longues heures de travail pour les parents et de l'absence de protection conduit de nombreux adolescents à entrer en contact avec le crime organisé, où ils se sentent valorisés et intégrés, mais souvent au prix de la violence et de la criminalité. La situation se complique avec la violence sexuelle, qui touche des centaines d'enfants chaque année, souvent dans un climat d'impunité et de complicité institutionnelle. Selon les experts, les enfants qui dénoncent ces abus doivent surmonter une autre difficulté : être pris en charge les autorités. Pour ceux qui sortent des centres de détention, les perspectives de réinsertion sont quasi nulles. Ciudad Juárez, bien qu'emblématique par son histoire et l'apparition du terme « féminicide », illustre une problématique bien plus large où la négligence des institutions et la violence sociale alimentent un cycle de vulnérabilisation des enfants. Le projet d'une nouvelle force de sécurité capable de lutter contre les gangs en Haïti commenté par la presse américaine « C'est un espoir pour Haïti », estime le Washington Post. Contrairement à la force de sécurité actuelle menée par le Kenya, surtout composée de policiers, la force antigang proposée serait plus large, dotée du pouvoir d'arrêter et mandatée pour agir de façon indépendante, sans la police haïtienne. Mais au-delà des raisons humanitaires, rétablir l'ordre, contenir la violence des gangs et éviter l'effondrement de l'État est un enjeu vital pour les États-Unis. Les gangs haïtiens sont passés de groupes locaux à des organisations criminelles transnationales, acheminant drogue vers les États-Unis et ramenant des armes en Haïti, souligne le Washington Post. Le Miami Herald de son côté pointe une contradiction dans le projet américain. Alors que Washington affiche son intention de stabiliser Haïti, il cherche aussi à réduire des milliards de dollars d'aide étrangère, y compris des millions destinés aux missions de maintien de la paix de l'ONU. Les observateurs s'interrogent donc : les États-Unis sont-ils vraiment prêts à s'engager pour stabiliser Haïti ? Brésil : en attendant le verdict dans le procès de Jair Bolsonaro, accusé de tentative de coup d'État Les juges de la Cour suprême commencent à voter à partir de ce mardi, pour condamner ou acquitter l'ancien dirigeant d'extrême droite. Selon Folha de São Paulo, l'entourage de Jair Bolsonaro estime qu'une condamnation est probable et que la stratégie consiste désormais à éviter qu'il purge sa peine en prison. Parallèlement, Carta Capital s'intéresse à Michelle Bolsonaro, l'ex-première dame, que certains médias brésiliens voient déjà comme une possible candidate à la succession de son mari. Ce qui distingue Michelle Bolsonaro, explique le journal, n'est pas le degré d'extrémisme mais le style : alors que l'ex-président affichait brutalité et cruauté explicites, défendant la torture et se moquant des victimes du Covid, Michelle incarne la femme pieuse et compatissante, guidée par de profondes convictions religieuses. Elle alterne entre le ton plaintif de la victime et un discours enflammé mais adouci de prédicatrice.

La Russie a pour but avoué d'occuper la totalité de la région de Donetsk. Or, on ne parle pas uniquement de territoire. Rien que dans les agglomérations de Kramatorsk et Sloviansk, il reste encore près de 100 000 personnes, et ces villes aux allures de garnison sont les dernières grandes forteresses du Donbass à l'arrière du front, qui se rapproche pourtant inexorablement. Reportage à Kramatorsk de notre correspondante  Nous sommes à Kramatorsk, à une quinzaine de kilomètres seulement du front, presque à portée d'artillerie, et définitivement à portée des drones russes. Ici, les drapeaux ukrainiens, bleus et jaunes flottent dans toutes les rues. Une énième sirène retentit. Impossible chaque jour de les compter tant elles sont nombreuses, pourtant ici, malgré la présence de bunkers en béton à travers la ville, plus personne n'y prête attention ni ne s'abrite. Dans ce supermarché du centre-ville, où l'on trouve désormais autant de soldats que de civils, Luda, une caissière, explique : « Eh bien, je voudrais rester ici, dans ma maison. Je ne veux aller nulle part ailleurs, vous comprenez ? J'ai travaillé ici toute ma vie, j'ai mes enfants, mes petits-enfants… » À lire aussiUkraine: à Kramatorsk, une ville entre la menace de la destruction et le spectre d'une nouvelle occupation À quelques rues de là, sous-sol, nous retrouvons Anja, une vétérinaire. Pour elle non plus, il n'est pas encore question de partir : « Il y a beaucoup de monde qui est venu ici, bien sûr, ils sont venus de toute la région de Donetsk. Ils sont venus s'installer, ici, à Kramatorsk, mais aussi à Sloviansk. On va partir, mais pas encore. » Pourquoi ? « Eh bien, pas encore, on est déjà partis de là où nous vivions, à Lyman, c'est dans l'autre direction, c'est juste que nous vivons ici depuis trois ans maintenant, enfin un peu moins. Et pendant longtemps, ça allait. Pour l'instant, ça va encore, mais on a un enfant, donc on ne sait pas trop quoi faire. On partira probablement à un moment. » Rester, faute de mieux Dasha, elle, est jeune maman. Malgré les explosions devenues quotidiennes, elle ne voit aucune perspective loin d'ici : « Effrayant, oui ! Mais que faire ? Qui a besoin de nous ? Les loyers sont chers ces temps-ci, et je suis mère célibataire. Il n'y a personne pour m'aider ! » Dans le bazar de la ville, on retrouve des personnes âgées, qui étalent les récoltes de leur jardin, herbes, fruits et légumes. Parfois, même leurs effets personnels qu'ils essaient de vendre afin de boucler les fins de mois. Eux n'ont tout simplement pas les moyens financiers pour fuir. C'est sur cette population que pèse le danger quotidien des bombes russes, ainsi que la perspective d'une nouvelle invasion, dans cette ville déjà occupée pendant quelques mois par les séparatistes soutenus par Moscou en 2014.

Edition No232 | 25-08-2025 - Russia's oil and gas industry, once a source of economic strength, an extraordinary economic and geopolitical weapons, has become a vulnerable spot, a real Achilles heel for the Russian economy, and for Putin's war machine. Russia has a strategic problem: the main processing capacities are concentrated in the Western part of the country, while fuel consumption is rising in the Far East. Fuel logistics span thousands of kilometres, and now Kilometre-long queues in Primorye are forming of consumers and businesses needing to purchase fuel. Large refineries – from Kirishi to Volgograd – are within reach of Ukrainian drones. Fuel trains are being filmed, set alight by Ukrainian drones, such as the 'derailed' Russian fuel train in Zaporizhzhia. Local media reported that Ukrainian drones struck a Russian fuel train in the Donetsk region, causing nine of the train cars to catch on fire. The drone footage was stunning and compulsive viewing. The Flamingo missile threatens facilities previously considered out of reach. Putin has a problem. His elite are getting worried – and this concern is being mirrored in the US, nominally an ally of Ukraine, but the anger and anxiety of Trump are telling – many in the US administration don't want to see Russia defeated. In that position, China and the US are aligned on outcomes. It's grotesque, immoral, hypercritical, but all evidence points towards this inconvenient truth. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/putin-is-facing-a-fuel-crisis-as-ukraine-escalates-attacks-on-russian-refineries/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/22/ukraine-attacks-pipeline-that-sends-russian-oil-to-hungary-and-slovakiahttps://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-ukraine-viktor-orban-russia-oil-pipleline-drone/https://kyivindependent.com/drone-strikes-spark-fire-at-russian-gas-terminal-and-oil-refinery-media-reports/https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/4029060-ukraine-strikes-syzran-oil-refinery-in-russia-general-staff-confirms.htmlhttps://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025/8/22/behind-indias-massive-russian-oil-imports-asias-richest-manhttps://www.reuters.com/business/energy/oil-prices-edge-up-traders-weigh-supply-risks-2025-08-25/https://edition.cnn.com/2025/08/20/business/china-secures-russian-oil-orders-intl-hnkhttps://www.reuters.com/business/energy/parts-russia-face-gasoline-shortages-after-ukraine-struck-refineries-2025-08-21/----------TRUCK FUNDRAISER - GET A SILICON CURTAIN NAFO PATCH:Together with our friends at LIFT99 Kyiv Hub (the NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade), we are teaming up to provide 2nd Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

After nearly 11 years of war, Putin's maximalist demands have shrunk to a sliver of land in Donetsk, a pyrrhic victory after countless lives lost and millions displaced. But while the Kremlin clings to a symbolic scrap of territory, we explore whether Ukraine's true future lies not in NATO membership but in becoming what political economist Harold Laswell once called a “garrison state.” What does that mean? Think of countries like Israel, Taiwan, South Korea, or even Finland in 1940: highly militarised, heavily armed by allies, but able to survive and rebuild under constant threat. Could this be Ukraine's path, a nation of 40 million people with a vast agricultural base and heavy industry, rebuilt under an American security umbrella and billions in European aid? We pull apart the history: from the Treaty of Moscow (1940) that fixed Finland's borders for decades, to Eisenhower's warning of the military–industrial complex, to the Peloponnesian War's clash of Sparta and Athens. Can democracy thrive in a garrison state? Is Europe ready to bankroll Ukraine's reconstruction? And will turning Ukraine into a military bulwark finally secure peace, or only prepare the ground for the next war? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This marks the second time this month that a major outage of the Starlink system has been reported. No cause for the outage has been provided.-HomeFront-Maryland: This afternoon a large explosion was reported onboard a cargo vessel that was transiting outbound from Baltimore, bound for Mauritius. The M/V *W SAPPHIRE* experienced an explosion in one of her forward cargo holds shortly after leaving port. Her current position remains east of Bodkin Creek, and multiple tugboats and firefighting vessels remain on scene to keep her under control.Analyst Comment: As this is a developing situation, there's no further information on what caused the blast, or the fate of the crew.Washington D.C. - This afternoon President Zelenskyy returned to the White House, continuing diplomatic efforts to achieve peace in Ukraine.Analyst Comment: Regarding the potential for peace, the situation remains tenuous. Following the negotiations with Putin on Friday, Russia's position appears to be largely the same as when the war started; Russia wants the Donetsk and also the "freezing" of front lines where they are right now on all fronts. Ukraine's position is equally hardline, with Zelenskyy also reiterating Ukraine's position of ceding zero terrain in any prospective peace deal.Utah: A shooting was reported at a residence in Tremonton yesterday evening, which resulted in two police officers being killed, and one other wounded. Officers initially responded to this address due to multiple 911 hangups, and upon arrival, a barricaded shooter engaged them from within the house.Analyst Comment: What led to this shooting is unclear, but 911 hangups are frequently utilized by individuals seeking to take their own life by the actions of the police, or by those seeking to ambush authorities. In this case, the latter seems to have been the result, which turned into a protracted small arms engagement. Multiple pre-made incendiary devices were recovered from the residence after the shooting, indicating that this was a planned ambush of some kind.Florida: Vehicular homicide charges have been filed against Harjinder Singh for his role in the death of three people on the Florida Turnpike last week. Singh was attempting to conduct an illegal u-turn on the interstate, which resulted in him positioning his semi truck completely perpendicular to the road, completely blocking all lanes of traffic. Three people traveling in a minivan were unable to stop in time, colliding with the semi's trailer, resulting in their deaths.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comment: The case involving the crash in Florida has gained nationwide notoriety for two main reasons. Firstly, the in-cabin video showing the crash was published immediately, which not only shows the exceptionally graphic nature of the crash, but also the lack of any sort of remorse from the driver after the crash. The social reaction to this video has resulted in more focus on this case, which leads to the second reason for the attention...this case gets worse the more one digs for details.After the accident, Singh was revealed to have been an illegal immigrant from India, who crossed over the southern US border in 2018. Singh was allowed to get a driver's license in California (as this state allows illegals to get a license through the AB 60 program). From there, he was able to get his CDL license in the same state, despite federal law banning illegals f

Today's Headlines: The Trump–Putin “summit” in Alaska dominated the weekend, though there seemed to be more bad optics than progress. Putin demanded control of Donetsk plus recognition of Russia's land grabs in Ukraine, while hinting China could offer Kyiv “security guarantees” instead of NATO. No deal came out of it, but plenty of eyebrow-raisers did: Russian FM Lavrov in a vintage USSR shirt, US troops literally rolling out a red carpet, Trump's team leaving summit documents (including Putin's lunch menu) at a hotel printer, and Putin even hopped into Trump's car for a quick chat. Journalists said Trump's staff looked “ashen,” a post-meeting lunch was mysteriously canceled, and the only follow-up so far is Trump planning a phone call with Zelensky and EU leaders. Elsewhere, Israel saw a massive general strike—organizers say about 10% of the country joined—to pressure the government into prioritizing a hostage deal over expanding the Gaza war. In the U.S., about 60 kids from Gaza arrived for medical care with the help of a nonprofit, sparking outrage from Laura Loomer and prompting the Trump administration to pause visitor visas from the territory. Back in DC, hundreds of National Guard troops from West Virginia, Ohio, and South Carolina are being deployed to the capital in Trump's ongoing push to control city policing—though officials insist they're not armed “at this time.” Democrats, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin, are pushing a resolution to end Trump's authority over the DC police. And finally, Hurricane Erin—the first named storm of the season—rapidly jumped to a Category 5 before downgrading slightly. It's still expected to slam the Southeast as a major hurricane early this week.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover explosive new evidence of an Obama-era conspiracy against Donald Trump, major shifts in U.S. manufacturing and agriculture, high-stakes diplomacy before the Trump–Putin meeting, the collapse of Ukraine's front lines, and a mysterious American drone mission deep into Mexico. Newly Declassified Email Exposes Obama-Era Conspiracy: A Top Secret 2016 email from NSA Director Mike Rogers to James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey reveals deep concerns over Obama's rushed Intelligence Community Assessment on alleged Trump–Russia collusion. The correspondence confirms intelligence officials were pressured to rubber-stamp a politically driven report that included the discredited Steele Dossier. Bryan details why this is foundational evidence of a seditious conspiracy. GE Appliances Moves Production Back to the U.S.: Trump's tariff strategy prompts GE Appliances, formerly owned by a Chinese company, to relocate manufacturing of ranges and refrigerators from Mexico and China to plants in Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, and South Carolina, creating 1,000 new jobs. U.S. Farm and Ranch Report: Bred heifer prices hit record highs as cattle herd sizes remain at 1950s lows, keeping beef prices elevated. Favorable rains and cheaper feed are encouraging herd rebuilding, while the dangerous New World screwworm threatens to cross the border from Mexico. Crop conditions are generally good, but trade restrictions tied to tariffs are shifting agricultural export strategies. Mexico Sends 26 Cartel Members to U.S. Custody: President Claudia Sheinbaum transfers dangerous cartel figures to the United States, defying Mexico's constitution under technical loopholes. The move follows White House pressure to prevent cartel leaders from escaping Mexican prisons and resuming drug and human trafficking operations. Trump and European Allies Set Ukraine Negotiation Red Lines: Ahead of tomorrow's Alaska meeting with Vladimir Putin, Trump and European leaders agree on five conditions for peace talks, including a cease-fire, starting territorial discussions from current front lines, and securing binding Western security guarantees. European leaders will not attend the Alaska talks, leaving the White House to own the negotiations and their outcome. Ukraine's Front Lines Near Collapse: Russian forces, bolstered by North Korean mercenaries, gain six miles in the Donetsk region through relentless “meat wave” assaults. Ukrainian soldiers are frustrated with leadership, and public support for the war has collapsed, with 69 percent now favoring a negotiated settlement. Bryan warns that without fresh troops or a change in strategy, Ukraine risks losing the entire country. U.S. Drone Conducts Deep Strike Recon in Mexico: An American MQ-9 Reaper drone flew 600 miles into cartel-controlled territory in Michoacán before shutting off its transponders.
