Enhancing peace and security cooperation is a key pillar of the EU-Africa partnership, which celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2025. In the second address of the 2025 Development Matters lecture series, which is kindly supported by Irish Aid, Mr Johan Borgstam, EU Special Representative for the Great Lakes Region, presents his assessment of the situation in the region based on his recent visits and focus on the EU's engagement in support of peace, stability, and security in countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Mr Borgstam is a Swedish diplomat with extensive national and EU experience, which includes serving as the Head of the EU Delegation to Ethiopia and ambassador to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, and Greece. He was appointed the EUSR for the Great Lakes Region on 1 September 2024. In this role, he supports the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs in implementing the EU's foreign policy objectives in the Great Lakes Region.

It is the second lecture of the 2025 Development Matters series, which is kindly sponsored by Irish Aid.

In the EU there are a whole host of pesticides that are banned for being too hazardous, either to human health or the environment or both. This means that they cannot be used here. But did you know that these are still produced on EU soil and then exported to other countries, and did you know that the food produced from those pesticides is than imported back into the EU and ends up on our plates? Let's dive into this, join our final episode of the year with our guests: Mathilde Dupré, co-director of the Veblen Institute John Clarke, former director for international relations at the European Commission and former head of the EU Delegation to the World Trade Organization in Geneva Kara Mackay, campaigns coordinator for the NGO Women on Farms Project in South Africa Host: Natasha Foote Post-production: Jonathan Rémy Music: Leonardo Pietro Durantes and Jonathan Rémy Join our Telegram group: https://t.me/+xSzaZeIyCUM1NjJk Slow Food, the Podcast is a project by Slow Food Youth Network (SFYN).

Eine Weltklimakonferenz mit einem Ölstaat als Gastgeber – die Erwartungen an die zweiwöchige Konferenz, kurz COP28, waren von Beginn an nicht hoch. Erbittert stritten Vertreter*innen aus knapp 200 Staaten darüber, ob und wann die Welt aus den fossilen Energien aussteigt. Das Ergebnis: Wenigstens in der Abschlusserklärung werden alle Staaten "ersucht", dieses Ziel anzustreben. Reicht das, um die COP28 als "historisch" zu bewerten, wie es die Grüne Bundesaußenministerin Annalena Baerbock formulierte? Was hat es mit dem neuen Fonds für die Bewältigung klimawandelbedingter Schäden auf sich, in den Deutschland und die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate je 100 Millionen Dollar einzahlten? Wie spielten die internationale geopolitische Neusortierung und der Nahostkonflikt in die Klimakonferenz herein? Und wie verhandelt die Bundesrepublik als Teil der EU-Delegation, während in Deutschland heftig über den Haushalt gestritten wird? Und vor allem: Wie geht es nach dieser COP28 weiter? Darüber spricht taz-Auslandsredakteur Bernd Pickert mit den aus Dubai zugeschalteten taz-Redakteur*innen Susanne Schwarz, aus der Ökologie-und-Wirtschaftsredaktion und taz-Wissenschaftsredakteur Enno Schöningh sowie im Berliner Podcaststudio taz-Chefredakteurin Barbara Junge.

Die Weltklimakonferenz in Dubai geht in die entscheidende Phase. Wir berichten über den Stand der Verhandlungen und sprechen mit Klimaschutzexperte Martin Cames, der die EU-Delegation beraten hat. // Moderation: Hannes Kunz

Irene Horejs in conversation with Boubacar Haidara and Bart Ouvry WHAT NEXT IN CENTRAL SAHEL A deep dive into the Crisis The central Sahel — Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger — has changed dramatically since the armed insurgencies that emerged in northern Mali in 2012. Despite the initial success of counterterrorism operations led by France and the force of five neighbouring countries (G5 Sahel), despite the UN Peace keeping mission MINUSMA and the EU military training mission in Mali, integrated also by the Austrian army – the deterioration in security has been worse than anything experienced by the region in recent times. Aggressive extremist organizations, community-based armed groups, and criminal gangs have proliferated and serious human rights violations, including by security services and civilian deaths have reached staggering levels. In 2021 and 2022, the army took power in both Mali and Burkina Faso prompting harsh reactions by the West and the organisation of West African States ECOWAS. Mali´s new leaders reacted by requesting the withdrawal of French troops, tightening operating conditions for MINUSMA and engaging with Russia for military support through the Wagner group. Since August 2022, France relocated its military operation to Niger and EU countries reduced their presence in the EUTM. How can these developments be explained? What were the short comings of the peace agreement mediated in 2015 by neighbouring countries, the African Union, the UN and the EU? What happened to the EU “comprehensive stabilization strategy for the Sahel”? What is the way forward for the EU in this new context?   Welcome: Georg Lennkh, Former Austrian Special Ambassador for Africa Boubacar Haidara, Senior Researcher at the Bonn International Centre for Conflict StudiesBart Ouvry, Ambassador and Head of the EU Delegation to Mali (until April 2023) Günther Barnet, Department for Regional Cooperation with Africa and the Middle East, Austrian Ministry of Defense Irene Horejs, Former EU Ambassador to Niger and Mali

Die Merci Jury ist wieder da. Vier Episoden in vier Wochen mit allen Eurovision Songs dieses Jahrgangs. Wer floppt und wer bekommt Douze Points? Wie immer haben wir in der Merci Jury Gäste aus dem Gastgeberland dabei. Das ist 2023 vor allem die Ukraine. Zu Gast: Schauspielerin, Performerin und bildende Künstlerin Nika Kushnir, die in Hamburg lebt und Bandura-Spieler Bohdan Shutka, der in Wien lebt. Sie bewerten Songs aus der ersten Hälfte des zweiten Semifinals plus Großbritannien und Österreich.Nika ist Malerin und Bildhauerin, kommt ursprünglich vom Tanz, arbeitet aber auch als Performance-Künstlerin und Schauspielerin. Bohdan hatten wir bereits in der Episode #04.03 und der Episode #04.31 zu Gast, wo er beim Interview mit dem Kalush Orchestra für uns übersetzte. Diese Episode sorgte auch dafür, dass er von Tinkara Kovač auf die Bühne des Muth eingeladen worden ist und neben ihr und dem Kalush Orchestra sein Bandura-Spiel bei der Gala #EU4Ukraine der EU-Delegation bei internationalen Organisationen präsentieren durfte.Und beide mussten gemeinsam mit Marco und Alkis folgende Länder  bewerten:UK
Mae Muller - I Wrote A SongDänemark
Reiley - Breaking My HeartArmenien
Brunette - Future LoverRumänien
Theodor Andrei - D.G.T. (Off and On)Estland
Alika - BridgesBelgien
Gustaph - Because Of YouZypern

Diljá - PowerGriechenlandVictor Vernicos - What They SayÖsterreich
Teya & Salena - Who The Hell Is Edgar?Gewertet wird in Eurovision-Manier, also von 12-0 ohne die 9 und die 11. Aber natürlich darf die Jury auch mehrmals 12, 10 oder auch 0 Punkte vergeben.Die Standardfragen am Schluss stellen wir auch noch:Noch in der Playlist aus dem Jahr 2022 ist für beide das Kalush Orchestra mit "Stefania", wenn auch aus unterschiedlichen Gründen: Für Nika, weil ihr Sohn ganz verrückt nach dem Song ist und deswegen angefangen hat, Flöte zu lernen. Und für Bohdan, seit er die Band in Bratislava das erste mal live auf der Bühne gesehen hat.Der Lieblingsbeitrag von Nika ist tatsächlich "Ein bisschen Frieden", der Siegersong von Nicole für Deutschland. Und für Bohdan ist es der italienische Beitrag für den Eurovision Song Contest in Lissabon "Non Mi Avete Fatto Niente" von Ermal Meta und Fabrizio Moro, mit dem sie 2018 auch Sanremo gewannen.

The European Union and the United States have the largest bilateral trade and investment relationship and enjoy the most integrated economic relationship in the world. Although overtaken by China in 2021 as the largest EU import source for goods, the transatlantic relationship continues defining the world economy. The US remains the EU's largest trade and investment partner by far and either the EU or the US is the largest trade and investment partner of almost every other country in the global economy. The EU and the US are also each other's biggest source of foreign direct investment.

In today’s episode, we investigate the complexities of Sino-Italian relations, which over the last few weeks—like a focusing lens—brought together many interesting topics: the outbreak of COVID-19, China’s disinformation campaigns, Euroscepticism, and wider discussions on EU solidarity.
