Episode 580: A Vacation in Southern Brittany with Elyse takes you on a journey through one of France's most enchanting yet underrated regions. Host Annie Sargent and Elyse Rivin dive into the hidden treasures of Southern Brittany, sharing their firsthand experiences and insider tips. This episode is perfect for travelers who love history, coastal charm, and authentic French culture—without the crowds. Listen to this episode ad-free Annie and Elyse start by exploring the Château de Suscinio, a 1,000-year-old castle that was once the second home of the Dukes of Brittany. Recently restored, this fortress now offers interactive exhibits, medieval crossbow demonstrations, and even a moat filled with swans. Elyse shares fascinating stories about the castle's past, including how it was gifted to a royal mistress and later abandoned before being brought back to life. If you're traveling with kids (or just a kid at heart), you'll love the hands-on activities and the chance to step into a real-life fairy tale. Next, they head to Île d'Arz, a peaceful island in the Gulf of Morbihan. Known as the "Island of Captains," this tiny gem is packed with history, from prehistoric megaliths to a medieval church and a working tidal mill. Elyse describes the island's unique vibe, where women once ran the farms while their men sailed the seas. You can walk or bike around the entire island in a day, stopping at quiet beaches, local crêperies, and even a sailing school. Elyse's personal anecdotes—like trying sesame ice cream for the first time—make the island feel like a place you need to visit. The episode also covers practical tips for exploring Southern Brittany. Elyse recommends basing your trip in Vannes, a charming city with a lively market and easy access to the gulf's many islands. She and Annie discuss the best ways to get around, including boat tours and bike rentals, and why the region's strong tides make every visit to the coast a little different. For food lovers, Southern Brittany is a dream. Elyse raves about fresh oysters for just six euros a dozen and the local Breton spritz, a cider-based twist on the classic Aperol spritz. The region's seafood, crêpes, and artisanal treats are not to be missed. Whether you're planning a trip or just dreaming of one, this episode is your guide to the best of Southern Brittany. Annie and Elyse's conversational style makes you feel like you're right there with them, discovering hidden gems and soaking up the local culture.

“La France n'est pas prête pour la dureté et la durée de la guerre”.Depuis 10 ans, le Général Pierre de Villiers alerte sur la nécessité d'augmenter le budget de défense de notre pays.Il dresse aujourd'hui le portrait d'une France faible, fragile, qui en cas de guerre serait incapable de faire face à l'armée d'un État de puissance.Cette conviction, partagée par une partie de l'échiquier politique, est chiffrée, factuelle mais surtout basée sur toute son expérience. Celle d'un homme qui a dédié sa vie à la défense, passé plus de 40 années dans l'armée, et gravi les échelons un à un jusqu'à endosser le prestigieux uniforme de Chef d'État-major des Armées.Fin stratège, Pierre de Villiers a mené des hommes dans les situations les plus extrêmes : lors d'opérations majeures partout dans le monde, dans la lutte antiterroriste et sur tous les fronts où la France est engagée.En 2017, son désaccord avec le président Emmanuel Macron sur l'évolution du budget de l'armée le pousse à démissionner de son poste.Depuis, à travers plusieurs livres best-sellers et ses interventions médiatiques, il alerte sur la situation géopolitique et explique pourquoi nous devrions porter le budget de défense à 100 milliards d'euros par an d'ici 2035.Pierre assure qu'une réforme de l'État est désormais indispensable pour y parvenir.Dans cet épisode, le général Pierre de Villiers se livre sur ses convictions :Ce que dit l'état actuel de l'armée Française sur notre capacité de défensePourquoi il souhaite le retour du septennat et du service militaireCe que l'on doit vraiment attendre de l'EuropePourquoi réintégrer plus de responsabilité dans l'exercice du pouvoir est indispensable pour redresser le paysUn échange franc avec un homme dont la lucidité sur le monde éclaire autant qu'elle effraie.Vous pouvez contacter l'agence Les Rois Mages si vous souhaitez faire intervenir le général de Villiers dans votre entreprise ou organisation.“Pour le succès des armes de la France” est disponible dans toutes les bonnes librairies ou juste ici : https://amzn.to/4pp2jeCTIMELINE:00:00:00 : “Nous sommes à un point de bascule au niveau mondial”00:16:14 : Doit-on s'inquiéter de l'état actuel de l'armée française ?00:27:00 : Vers le retour du service militaire00:34:21 : “Nous n'avons plus de grands stratèges, que des petits tacticiens”00:43:38 : Retrouver la fierté qui mène aux grandes victoires00:55:07 : Un budget de défense à 100 milliards par an d'ici 203501:06:00 : La paix ramollit l'homme01:13:21 : “Il faudra une rupture d'autorité pour que les choses changent”01:23:37 : La place de la religion et de la spiritualité dans l'armée01:30:41 : Les hommes font-ils toujours la guerre ?01:39:51 : Le mythe d'une défense européenne01:52:38 : “Vous pouvez emmener des gens loin, vite, fort, à condition d'être clair”02:04:11 : Rester au contact de la réalité, à tout prixLes anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #401 - Emmanuel Macron - Président de la République - Les décisions les plus lourdes se prennent seulNous avons parlé de :Nick Houghton, ancien chef d'état-major des armées britanniqueLes accords de Lancaster co-construits par Pierre et NickÉtat des lieux du parc de matériels militaires françaisLes grandes orientations de la programmation militaire jusqu'en 2030L'adoption de la hausse de 6,7 milliards d'euros du budget de la défense par le Sénat en décembre 2025Les “dividendes de la paix” de Laurent FabiusLe général Georgelin, en charge de la reconstruction de Notre-DameLe Livre blanc sur la sécurité et la défense de Nicolas Sarkozy (2008)Article 5 de l'OTANLe char Renault FT 17 qui a fait basculer la guerreOVNI CapitalPodcast OVNI avec Daniel Nef, fondateur de RIFTQu'est-ce que la BITD (Base Industrielle et Technologique de Défense)Les recommandations de lecture :Pour le succès des armes de la France - Pierre de VilliersHeureux les artisans de Paix ! - Pierre de VilliersParoles d'honneur : Lettres à la jeunesse - Pierre de VilliersQu'est-ce qu'un chef ? - Pierre de VilliersServir - Pierre de VilliersQuand la Chine s'éveillera...

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée en public à l'École alsacienne le 11 janvier 2026.Avec cette semaine :Jean-Louis Bourlanges, essayiste, ancien président de la Commission des Affaires étrangères de l'Assemblée nationale.David Djaïz, entrepreneur et essayiste.Antoine Foucher, consultant, spécialiste des questions sociales, auteur de Sortir du travail qui ne paie plus.Lucile Schmid, présidente de La Fabrique écologique et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Esprit.LE GRAND VIDE DES PARTIS POLITIQUESLe système institutionnel français, organisé pour structurer une alternance entre deux blocs, fonctionne désormais avec trois forces irréconciliables. Résultat : aucune majorité stable, aucun mandat clair et la porte ouverte à la démagogie puisque personne n'est responsable. Tandis que le Parlement s'enlise, l'exécutif temporise, l'opinion se lasse. Cette résignation est liée à une fatigue démocratique, sur fond de décomposition politique, dont l'Assemblée nationale fragmentée est le reflet. Fin décembre, le Cevipof et l'Obsoco (Observatoire société et consommation) ont publié les résultats d'une enquête réalisée par l'Ifop : « Priorités françaises ». Les Français ne placent plus en tête de leurs priorités le pouvoir d'achat ou l'inflation mais le fonctionnement du système politique. L'enquête montre une délégitimation personnelle du chef de l'État, une remise en cause institutionnelle et un rejet de la classe politique. Les Français ont des mots très durs et parlent des responsables politiques comme d'une « caste » dénoncée notamment pour sa « surdité ». La mobilisation agricole fait écho à ce désarroi de l'opinion face à un pouvoir qu'il juge « autoritaire ». Selon un sondage Ipsos/Cevipof, 34% des Français pensent que « d'autres systèmes politiques peuvent être aussi bons que la démocratie ».Au très fort degré de défiance dont souffrent aujourd'hui l'exécutif et le Parlement s'ajoute la difficulté qu'éprouvent les partis de gouvernement à apporter une réponse crédible aux bouleversements en cours : déclin démographique, réchauffement climatique, extrême vulnérabilité du continent européen face au retour des tensions militaires et commerciales, révolution de l'intelligence artificielle. La politique se limite de plus en plus à la gestion, la France paraît privée de récits fédérateurs, observe le politologue Brice Soccol qui rappelle que pendant des décennies, la vie politique française s'est structurée autour de visions du monde fortes : le progrès, la révolution, la nation, l'État-providence, la lutte des classes, la justice sociale … Aujourd'hui, ni la gauche de gouvernement ni la droite classique ne racontent plus d'histoire. Elles administrent, ajustent, corrigent. Leur horizon s'est rétréci au calendrier budgétaire et parlementaire amplifié par la dissolution ratée de 2024. Engluées dans leurs divisions internes et leurs obsessions du casting présidentiel, les forces politiques ne parviennent pas à structurer le débat public avec de nouvelles idées, à dessiner des raisons d'espérer. Si mercredi, le président des Républicains, Bruno Retailleau a présenté des mesures économiques pour encourager le travail, elles ont un air de déjà-vu. Dans la perspective desPrésidentielles de 2027, alors que les partis protestataires – le Rassemblement national et La France Insoumise sont quasiment en ordre de marche, le grand flou règne du côté des partis de gouvernement, tant sur le candidat, les programmes que sur le mode de désignation. Un grand flou sur un grand vide.OÙ VA LA « DOCTRINE DONROE » ?Avec l'enlèvement du président vénézuélien Nicolás Maduro, à l'aube du 3 janvier, Donald Trump entend désormais régir l'ensemble du continent américain et avoir la main sur l'« hémisphère occidental », mis au service de la prospérité et la sécurité des États-Unis. Des élections au Vénézuéla ne semblent à ce stade pas à l'ordre du jour : « nous attachons de l'importance à la démocratie. Mais ce qui nous importe avant tout, c'est la sécurité, le bien-être et la prospérité des États-Unis », a précisé le secrétaire d'État américain Marco Rubio. Les États-Unis réactivent ainsi la doctrine Monroe de 1823 selon laquelle l'hémisphère occidental devait être la chasse gardée exclusive de Washington.La Stratégie nationale de sécurité des États-Unis publiée en novembre dernier se réfère explicitement à ce précédent, tandis que la presse américaine l'a déjà baptisée « doctrine Donroe », condensé de Donald et Monroe. Les autres pays de la région, qu'ils soient amis comme le Mexique ou ennemis comme Cuba, ont été mis en garde : ils devront coopérer avec les Etats-Unis ou en subir les conséquences. Les gouvernements latino-américains de gauche, comme celui du Brésil, se sont déclarés particulièrement alarmés par la violation de la Charte des Nations unies. Ceux de droite, comme celui d'Argentine se sont montrés plus favorables. Ceux d'autres régions du monde, notamment en Europe, ont plaidé en faveur de la stabilité.Sur la « liste des envies » de Trump figurent également le Canada, le canal de Panama, et le Groenland. Dès le lendemain de l'enlèvement du président vénézuélien, Donald Trump est revenu sur l'idée d'annexer le Groenland, jugeant qu'il « nous le faut absolument, pour des raisons de sécurité nationale ». Cette sortie a déclenché de nombreuses protestations des Européens. La Première ministre danoise en a été réduite à invoquer l'article 5 de l'Otan pour protéger le royaume contre … le leader de l'Otan. Les Européens semblent pris au dépourvu par l'accélération des événements. La doctrine Donroe marque le retour explicite d'un monde où l'appartenance à une sphère d'influence l'emporte sur la souveraineté. Une sphère d'influence américaine extensible bien au-delà du continent américain : en mars 2025 Donald Trump avait ordonné une campagne de frappes contre les rebelles Houthi au Yémen, en juin contre les installations nucléaires iraniennes et en décembre au Nigéria contre des militants du groupe Etat islamique. Le président américain menace de nouveau d'intervenir en Iran si la répression des manifestations se poursuit. Il confiait vendredi au New York Times, « je n'ai pas besoin du droit international » assurant que sa « moralité » est son unique limite pour agir dans le monde.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

A new strain of cryptozoology is howling across the internet. It's less about stuff like “undiscovered birds” and more like “Bigfoot is interdimensional.” This week, we are joined by guest writer Jack LaRoche follow that trail straight into Louisiana's swampy heartland to meet the Rougarou: a Cajun loup-garou legend shaped by Catholic ideas about sin and control, then transformed through centuries of cultural mixing into something that's been feared, joked about, and even embraced as a local mascot. Along the way, we rewind to medieval France to untangle where “werewolves” actually come from, detour through the shaky math and moral panic of the werewolf trials, and trace how the Acadian diaspora and Indigenous storytelling traditions helped remake the monster on American soil. It's sometimes a trickster, sometimes a warning, sometimes protection. We end by asking what these stories do: how folklore polices behavior, manufactures outsiders, and rhymes with modern conspiracist fearcraft.

This week we focus on the Trump Administration's seizure of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro as Ralph welcomes legendary former ambassador, Chas Freeman, who calls it nothing more than a “gas station stick-up.” Then our resident Constitutional scholar, Bruce Fein, lays out some of the legal ramifications of the whole affair.Ambassador Chas Freeman is a retired career diplomat who has negotiated on behalf of the United States with over 100 foreign governments in East and South Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and both Western and Eastern Europe. Ambassador Freeman was previously a Senior Fellow at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, and served as U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense, U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, acting Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, and Deputy Chief of Mission and Chargé d'Affaires in the American embassies at both Bangkok and Beijing. He was Director for Chinese Affairs at the U.S. Department of State from 1979-1981. He was the principal American interpreter during the late President Nixon's historic visit to China in 1972. In addition to Chinese, Ambassador Freeman speaks French and Spanish at the professional level and can converse in Arabic and several other languages.We have been engaged in murder on the high seas, people who are suspected on flimsy grounds of carrying narcotics. If they are carrying narcotics, it is not to the United States [but] between Venezuela and Trinidad, from which the drugs go to Western Europe and West Africa. We have been guilty of acts of piracy, seizing vessels on the high seas, on the basis of no authority. And (very dangerously) we have seized a Russian-flagged tanker…And we are risking a war with a nuclear-armed superpower over an issue that is peripheral to Venezuela.Ambassador Chas FreemanDomestically, we have a constitutional crisis. We are the most powerful country on the planet, and our domestic constitutional crisis has turned out to be contagious to the international system. And so we're seeing the disappearance of well-established norms of human behavior, interactions between states. It will not be easy to resurrect those. The precedents we've just set could come home to trouble us.Ambassador Chas FreemanI think we have scared everybody around the world. If there is no protection from international law, people will arm themselves as heavily as they can to defend themselves. So diplomacy is not prospering in this environment. And I would just conclude by saying that the Trump administration has more than decimated our diplomatic service. About one third of the diplomatic service has left or is in the process of leaving public service of the government. So they join scientists and engineers in trying to bail out from what they consider to be an increasingly intolerable situation. Not a happy picture.Ambassador Chas FreemanBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.The fact is, if you read the NATO Charter Article 5—I think right now we've got 32 members of NATO, and 31 countries would be obliged to take up war and arms against the United States. [The United States' intervention in Venezuela] is an invasion. It's every bit as much of an invasion as Hitler going into the Sudetenland after Munich. Everybody knows this isn't going to be a voluntary secession. If it isn't by military conquest, it'll be by coercion, by threats. So we may be at war with all the other NATO members. That's why I liken this to the Napoleonic Era when France and Napoleon were against all of Europe. He had no allies anymore, and I think we will have no allies either. Bruce FeinNews 1/9/25* Our top story this week is, of course, the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Maduro, who has served as president of the Bolivarian Republic since 2013, was abducted from his home, along with his wife, by the Fort Bragg-based Delta Force squadron. Maduro was then transported to New York and is now being held in detention pending trial. Before getting into the fallout of this operation, it is critical to note the complicity of the mainstream press. Semafor reports, “The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew.” The preeminent American newspapers justified their decision to withhold this critical information from the public by claiming that publishing what they knew could have endangered American soldiers. This decision however raises longstanding questions about what the role of the media should be in national security matters. Is it their responsibility to protect American forces as they carry out legally dubious missions? Or is it their responsibility to inform the public of their own government's shadowy operations if they might endanger all Americans?* Meanwhile, the future of Venezuela appears deeply uncertain. Despite pressure from the Venezuelan exile community to install one of their own to lead the country, such as Maria Corina Machado, Trump has shown little interest in this path, saying Machado “doesn't have the support within or the respect within the country,” per Reuters. Instead, he has so far supported the elevation of Vice President Delcy Rodríguez. Rodríguez, who has been “likened…to a sort of Venezuelan Deng Xiaoping,” according to NBC, has sought to court Trump in the past and it seems that for the time being at least, he is content to keep her in place so long as she is willing to accede to the demands of the American oil companies.* Whatever the long-term outlook for Venezuela in general, this incident is sure to have certain short-term consequences. At the administration level, this operation was seen as a rousing success and is likely to embolden them to attempt similar operations in other countries deemed adversarial. The Hill reports Trump said “Colombia…[is] Run by a sick man,” referring to Colombian President Gustavo Petro, but won't be for “very long.” Similarly, he remarked that “We're going to have to do something [about Mexico].” Cuba, he said, is “ready to fall.” South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, traveling with Trump, added that Cuba's days are “numbered.” It remains to be seen how far Trump will go with regime change operations in these sovereign nations, but the success of the Maduro abduction makes each one – and the inevitable blowback from these actions – that much more likely.* Beyond Latin America, Trump is again pressing for an American annexation of Greenland. According to the BBC, the administration is discussing “a range of options” including military force. Ironically, the White House is claiming that the acquisition of Greenland – a semi-autonomous region of Denmark – is a “national security priority,” despite Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's warning that any attack would mean the end of NATO, rattling the foundations of U.S. international security architecture. Nevertheless, Trump has continuously returned to the idea of annexing Greenland, so do not count on this quietly fading away, consequences be damned.* Moving to domestic politics, the AP reports the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the private entity created in 1967 to shepherd public funding to PBS, NPR and hundreds of public television and radio stations across the country, has voted to dissolve itself. The CPB has been under heavy assault by the Trump administration, which pushed Congress to defund the entity last year. Patricia Harrison, the organization's president and CEO, is quoted saying “CPB's final act would be to protect the integrity of the public media system and the democratic values by dissolving, rather than allowing the organization to remain defunded and vulnerable to additional attacks.” With the shuttering of CPB, the future of public media hangs in the balance. It will be up to the next Congress to restore funding, or allow these cherished institutions to fall into the dustbin of history.* Alongside the federal assault on public media, the federal government continues its assaults on public health. The New York Times reports Jim O'Neill, acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has “announced dramatic revisions to the slate of vaccines recommended for American children,” drawing down the number from 17 to just 11. The six vaccines on the chopping block, those for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningococcal disease, rotavirus, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus – which, the Times notes, is the “leading cause of hospitalization in American infants,” – will only be recommended for some high-risk groups. Meanwhile, the New York Post reports Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, has unveiled new federal guidelines recommending alcohol use. Dr. Oz is quoted saying “Alcohol is a social lubricant that brings people together…it does allow people an excuse to bond and socialize, and there's probably nothing healthier than having a good time with friends in a safe way.” He added that the takeaway should be, “Don't have it for breakfast.” Given the well documented health risks of alcohol consumption, it is difficult to see this as anything besides a sop to the alcohol industry.* In more local news, the primary race between incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman and former Comptroller Brad Lander in New York's 10th congressional district is turning into nothing short of a proxy war between different factions within the Democratic Party. Goldman, who officially announced his reelection bid this week, was immediately endorsed by New York Governor Kathy Hochul and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, per the New York Daily News. Lander on the other hand, can boast the endorsement of Mayor Zohran Mamdani along with support from Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, among other local progressives, per ABC7. With so much political muscle on both sides, this primary is sure to have important ramifications for the future direction of the Democratic Party.* For his part, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has hit the ground running. On January 5th, Mamdani signed Executive Orders No. 9, on combatting hidden junk fees, and No. 10 on fighting subscription tricks and traps. Among other things, these executive orders will Establish a Citywide Junk Fee Task Force, to be cochaired by Deputy Mayor of Economic Justice and former Biden Administration Secretary of Labor Julie Su. This announcement ends with a message stating that Mayor Mamdani “takes the protection of New York consumers and tenants seriously,” citing his recent “executive order to hold ‘Rental Ripoff' hearings in every borough,” which will “provide an opportunity for working New Yorkers to speak about the challenges they face – from poor building conditions to hidden fees on rent payments,” to be followed by a report and policy recommendations. This all from NYC.gov.* A fascinating new poll has been released by “Speaking with American Men,” also known as the SAM Project, which seeks to understand young American men of various backgrounds. One startling number from this study is that 31% report having been homeless or near-homeless in the past five years. In more direct political findings though, only 27% say Trump is delivering for them, and slightly less, 25%, say Republicans are delivering. However, despite these abysmal numbers, just 18% say Democrats are delivering for them. Clearly, while young men are not joined at the hip to the Republican Party, the Democrats have a long way to go to win them back and won't get there without profoundly changing their approach to courting this key voting bloc.* Finally, the battle between Netflix and Paramount over corporate control of Warner Bros. Discovery continues to drag on. This week, WB announced they would formally reject Paramount's latest bid, their eighth so far, arguing that it is inferior to Netflix's proposal, citing the “extraordinary amount of incremental debt,” Paramount would have to incur in order to take over the larger company. This is estimated to be over $50 million. Although Paramount's hostile bid is higher per share than Netflix's offer, Paramount's bid includes WB's cable assets, such as CNN, which the company believes will be worth more if spun off from the rest of the company. This from CNN itself. Meanwhile, Paramount – led by the Ellison family – is calling in political favors on their behalf. In a letter to the House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee, Paramount Chief Legal Officer Makan Delrahim, who led the Antitrust Division of the DOJ under Trump 2017-2021, accused the proposed Netflix WB merger of being “presumptively unlawful,” because it would “further cement [Netflix's] dominance in streaming video on demand,” per Deadline. Congress cannot directly block a merger or acquisition, that power rests with the DOJ, but it does possess oversight power in that realm and can exert pressure to this end. Given the high stakes of this fight, expect all parties to call in their chits on Capitol Hill and in the administration in order to win the big prize.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Today we welcome the #1 Trail Runners of the Year, Jim Walmsley and Katie Schide, both Americans who currently reside in France. This is the second time each has won our prestigious award and they've both been featured all four years of TROY's existence.     Jim's season was anything but straight forward. He started with a big win at Chianti by UTMB in the spring before an injury prevented him from defending his win at the Western States 100. Luckily, he bounced back in a big way, winning OCC in August and then the Long Trail World Championship in September - the second individual gold medal of his career.         On the other hand, Katie is crowned TROY for the second year in a row. She started with a win at Madeira Island Ultra Trail before winning and setting a new course record at the Hardrock 100 in July. Only three weeks later she was second at Sierre-Zinal before winning the Long Trail World Championship in September.      This episode is part of Freetrail's annual Trail Runner of the Year Rollout -- an opportunity to reflect on the 2025 season and celebrate the athletes who performed the best according to the global trail running community.

On fait le point ensemble sur les grosses perturbations causées par la neige et le verglas dans le nord de la France. We are taking a look together at the major disruptions caused by snow and ice in northern France.Face à des conditions météo qui s'annoncent vraiment difficiles, le gouvernement a pris des mesures préventives assez exceptionnelles pour mercredi, surtout pour les transports. Faced with weather conditions that look set to be really difficult, the government has taken quite exceptional preventive measures for Wednesday, especially for transport.Premièrement, sur la route, c'est très, très compliqué. Firstly, on the road, it is very, very complicated.Le ministre des transports le dit clairement : si vous le pouvez, évitez de prendre la voiture en Île-de-France. The Transport Minister says it clearly: if you can, avoid taking the car in the Île-de-France region.La vitesse est abaissée à 70 km/h et pour les poids lourds, c'est simple, la circulation est carrément interdite dans l'ouest et en région parisienne. The speed limit has been lowered to 70 km/h and for heavy goods vehicles, it's simple, traffic is outright prohibited in the west and in the Paris region.Deuxièmement, si vous pensiez prendre l'avion, et bien ça ne va pas être simple non plus. Secondly, if you were thinking of taking a plane, well, it's not going to be easy either.Concrètement, ça veut dire qu'environ 40 % des vols sont annulés à Paris Charles de Gaulle mercredi matin et 25 % à Orly.In practical terms, this means that around 40% of flights are cancelled at Paris Charles de Gaulle on Wednesday morning and 25% at Orly.Enfin, tout cela s'explique par une alerte météo assez étendue : Météo France a placé 38 départements en vigilance orange. Finally, all this is explained by a fairly extensive weather alert: Météo France has placed 38 departments on orange alert.Juste pour rappel, la vigilance orange, c'est le deuxième niveau d'alerte le plus élevé. Just as a reminder, orange alert is the second highest alert level.Donc on vous demande d'être vraiment très prudent. So we ask you to be very careful. Hébergé par Acast.

Before Anne Boleyn left England for the European courts, before Henry VIII, before scandal, drama, queenship, and tragedy... there were two places that shaped her earliest world, places that were home to her.   Those two places were the Boleyn seats of Blickling Hall in Norfolk and Hever Castle in Kent. In this episode, we explore: Blickling Hall as the heart of the family's Norfolk roots, and the probable birthplace of Anne Boleyn The medieval origins of Hever Castle and its transformation into a refined Tudor home How Thomas Boleyn reshaped Hever to reflect his growing power at court Why these estates mattered to Anne's sense of self and future This video forms part of my ongoing series on Anne Boleyn. In the next episode, we follow Anne beyond these family estates, as she leaves England for the courts of Margaret of Austria and France. #AnneBoleyn #TudorHistory #BoleynFamily #HeverCastle #BlicklingHall #TheMakingOfAnneBoleyn #TudorEngland #HenryVIII #HistoryDocumentary #BritishHistory #WomenInHistory #TudorCourt #HistoricalPlaces #MedievalCastles #EnglishHeritage #HiddenHistory

Jack Horgan-Jones and Ellen Coyne join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· The long-anticipated EU-Mercosur trade deal was provisionally approved on Friday, despite the opposition of Ireland, France and three other countries. The deal has been immensely unpopular in Irish political life for a long time, thanks largely to efforts by the farming lobby. But there is now a sense that some figures in the European Commission are disappointed the Government did not make the case for the economic upsides of the deal. · Taoiseach Micheál Martin was in China this week on a four-day visit. Trade was also high on the agenda there, with China eager to import more high-quality food from Ireland. Human rights were mentioned in passing, and there was condemnation by the Taoiseach of Nicolás Maduro's authoritarian regime in Venezuela, the irony seemingly lost on the Fianna Fáil leader given the country he was visiting.· And the Taoiseach's party colleague, Minister for Further and Higher Education James Lawless, wants to ditch the one-bed en suites as the Government looks to move towards a co-living model involving communal space for university accommodation. A bathroom of one's own is a luxury students can go without. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· The Saipan film reopens old wounds for Kevin Kilbane, Seán Moncrieff can't throw away all those old electronic cables, and boycotting Doonbeg is the least we can do to oppose Donald Trump's appetite for war.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

2026-01-09 | UPDATES #094 | Oreshnik Over Lviv: Russia's Psychological Escalation — and Belgorod Goes Dark. The Oreshnik strike on Lviv looked physical – dramatic – cinematic even. Repeated explosions, dulled by a blanket of snow into a deep thudding set of booms. But this weapon exists more for psychological impact than it does for physical, at least, when the nuclear warheads are not loaded. Western Ukraine — Lviv region, near the EU and NATO frontier — was struck amid a nationwide barrage on Kyiv and multiple regions. And Russia is claiming it fired Oreshnik — the nuclear-capable intermediate-range ballistic missile it has used only used one before.At the same time, over the border, Belgorod is reported in blackout conditions after Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure — Ukraine's answer to Russia's winter campaign of imposing darkness and cold on Ukrainian civilians. This episode is about the strategic message sent by the strike on Lviv, what was meant by the messaging, and whom it was aimed at. ----------SOURCES: Reuters — Lviv region strike; Sadovyi/Kozytskyi; speed claims reported via Ukrainian media.Reuters — Russia claims Oreshnik launch; Ukrainian denial; Kapustin Yar launch confirmation; claimed targets. Reuters — Kyiv attack details; casualties; “critical infrastructure” damage and water disruptions.Reuters — “hypersonic missile near EU border” escalation framing and raid scale. AP — Nationwide raid scale; Kyiv heat outages; Oreshnik framing; Kallas quote; broader political context. Ukrainska Pravda — Air Force spokesman Ihnat: “Launches likely took place from Kapustin Yar… being confirmed.” Ukrainska Pravda — Zelensky quote on Qatari Embassy damage and call for “clear reaction.”Ukrinform — Sybiha quote; UN Security Council / Ukraine–NATO Council action; “grave threat” framing. TASS — Gladkov statement: “significant damage” in Belgorod (used as Russia-side claim only).France 24 live — reported Belgorod outage scale citing governor (treated as reported claim pending corroboration). Reuters (background, within the week) — Belgorod oil depot fire after Ukrainian drone attack; Ukraine energy degradation campaign context. ----------Silicon Curtain is a part of the Christmas Tree Trucks 2025 campaign - an ambitious fundraiser led by a group of our wonderful team of information warriors raising 110,000 EUR for the Ukrainian army. https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/christmas-tree-trucks-2025-silicon-curtainThe Goal of the Campaign for the Silicon Curtain community:- 1 armoured battle-ready pickupWe are sourcing all vehicles around 2010-2017 or newer, mainly Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L200, with low mileage and fully serviced.

Ealing Studios has an incredible legacy in England's film history, so they were overdue to get a talking-about on Have You Ever Seen. In The Lavender Hill Mob, Alec Guinness, Stanley Holloway and a slew of character actors have plenty of fun being gold thieves trying to pull off the perfect crime. A Fish Called Wanda was another classic comedy directed by Charles Crichton, but he was just as sly at directing all these guys back in the '50s too, not going for big and obvious laughs. Soft smiles, not LOLs. His romp is certainly enjoyable though, travelling from England to France to Brazil. So wield an expensive model of the Eiffel Tower as the 708th edition of this podcast that chatters about The Lavender Hill Mob.

In 1969, a cartoon about a traditional Japanese family premiered on Fuji TV.More than 55 years later, Sazae-san still airs in its original time slot. It is set in a more patriarchal time when women stay at home and do the housework, and men go to work and like getting drunk.Sunishi Yukimuro was one of the first writers. He tells Vicky Farncombe how young viewers watch it as a period drama and enjoy the closeness of the family.“They get most envious when they watch the scenes where everybody gets together to have a meal,” he says. “We don't have such scenes in current families.
