Donald Trump will be inaugurated in two months' time, but will he get the cabinet he wants heading into his second term? Senator Marco Rubio looks set to be secretary of state, but some of Trump's other picks are raising eyebrows, even within his own party. Critics are concerned that some of these selections are not just ardent loyalists, but lack crucial qualifications for the high-ranking positions. For more on this, Christiane speaks with correspondent Jeff Zeleny.  Also on today's show: UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini; former French President François Hollande; columnist Rana Foroohar  Learn more about your ad choices.

IN THE PRESS – Friday, April 5: In a strongly-worded front page, The Independent urges the West to stop selling weapons to Israel. The outrage continues after Israel's attack in Gaza this week that killed several foreign aid workers. Also in the news: after a violent attack on a young teenager by her classmates, the French regional press laments the nefarious role of social media in bullying incidents. Finally, former French president François Hollande's (in)famous scooter is set to be auctioned off.

It's Friday, February 9th, A.D. 2024.  This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus.  (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Muslims kill 14-year-old Christian teen Pakistani Muslim gunmen shouting threats against Christians shot a 14-year-old Christian dead on Monday, February 5th, reports Morning Star News. Sunil Masih and other Christians were standing in a market in the Mandiala Warraich area of Punjab Province when six Muslim men, armed with pistols, arrived on motorcycles and opened fire on them, said the slain boy's uncle, Mehboob Gill. He said, “We were talking to each other when suddenly Zaman Butt and his accomplices Anas Yaseen, Adil Rehman, Ashraf Ullah and two unidentified men came there on motorcycles. Adil shouted that no Christian in the area should be left alive, after which Zaman opened fire on Sunil with his pistol, hitting him in the chest.” Yaseen shot at another Christian boy, identified only as Jamshed, with the bullet only grazing him. The uncle said, “We rushed Sunil to a local hospital, but he succumbed to his bullet wound before doctors could begin their treatment,” adding that his nephew was an eighth-grade student whose father, George Masih, works at a local car shop. Pakistan ranks seventh on Open Doors' 2024 World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian. In Acts 22:4, Paul confessed, “I persecuted the followers of this Way to their death, arresting both men and women and throwing them into prison.”  If Jesus Christ can convert Saul, please pray that He converts these Pakistani Muslims who are killing Christians. Israel says over a fifth of Hamas hostages are dead Israeli intelligence officers have concluded that more than one-fifth of the 136 individuals still held hostage by Hamas in Gaza are dead, reports The Christian Post. The Israeli military confirmed the deaths of at least 30 of the more than 130 remaining hostages, according to a copy of the intelligence report reviewed by the New York Times.   While Hamas, the Muslim terrorist group, released several hostages during a temporary ceasefire in November, dozens remain in captivity.  Another Biden gaffe In an appearance in Las Vegas, President Joe Biden confused French President Emmanuel Macron with the late French President François Mitterand who was the president of France between 1981 and 1995 and died in 1996. Listen. BIDEN: “Right, right, right after I was elected, I went to what they call a G7 meeting, all the NATO leaders. It was in, it was in the south of England.  And I sat down and I said, ‘America is back.' And Mitterand from Germany, I mean from France, looked at me and said, said, ‘You know, why, how long you back for?'” Fox News reporter Peter Doocy raised the issue of Biden's mental competence in a White House Press briefing with Karine Jean-Pierre. DOOCY: “How is President Biden ever going to convince the three-quarters of voters who are worried about his physical and mental health that he is okay, even though in Las Vegas he told a story about recently talking to a French president who died in 1996?” JEAN-PIERRE: “I'm not even going to go down that rabbit hole with you sir.” DOOCY: “What's the rabbit hole? He said he talked to Mitterand?” JEAN-PIERRE: (referring to another reporter) “Go ahead. Go ahead.” Supreme Court skeptical about keeping Trump off ballot And finally, the Supreme Court sounds broadly skeptical of efforts to kick former President Donald Trump off the 2024 presidential election ballot in any of the 50 states, reports the Associated Press. In arguments ticking past 90 minutes Thursday, both conservative and liberal justices raised questions of whether Trump can be disqualified because of his efforts to undo his loss in the 2020 election, ending with the January 6, 2021 rally at the U.S. Capitol. At the heart of the case is a provision in the 14th Amendment preventing those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office. Listen to former President Trump's attorney, Jonathan Mitchell. MITCHELL: “The Colorado Supreme Court held that President Donald J. Trump is constitutionally disqualified from serving as president under section three of the 14th Amendment. The Colorado Supreme Court's decision is wrong and should be reversed for numerous independent reasons. The first reason is that President Trump is not covered by section three, because the President is not an officer of the United States as that term is used throughout the Constitution.” Even liberal Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan sounded skeptical about ruling to disqualify Trump from a state's ballot. Listen. KAGAN: “I think that the question that you have to confront is why a single state should decide who gets to be President of the United States. This question of whether a former president is disqualified for insurrection, to be President again, is just say it, it sounds awfully national to me. So, whatever means there are to enforce it would suggest that they have to be federal, national means. “You know, if you weren't from Colorado, and you were from Wisconsin, or you were from Michigan, what the Michigan Secretary of State did is going to make the difference between whether Candidate A is elected or Candidate B is elected. I mean, that seems quite extraordinary, doesn't it?” Here's the response of Jason Murray, the Denver attorney who successfully persuaded Colorado's top court to declare Trump ineligible to run in that state due to the Constitution's insurrection clause.  MURRAY: “No, Your Honor, because ultimately, it's this court that's going to decide that question of federal constitutional eligibility and settle the issue for the nation. And certainly it's not unusual that questions of national importance come up.” KAGAN:  “Well, I suppose this court would be saying something along the lines of that a state has the power to do it. But I guess I was asking you to go a little bit further and say, ‘Why should that be the right rule? Why should a single state have the ability to make this determination, not only for their own citizens, but for the rest of the nation?'” MURRAY: “Because Article Two gives them the power to appoint their own electors as they see fit. But if they're going to use a federal constitutional qualification as a ballot access determinant, then it's creating a federal constitutional question that then this Court decides. If this court affirms the decision below, determining that President Trump is ineligible to be president, other states would still have to determine what effect that would have on their own state's law and state procedure.” Eight of the nine justices suggested that they were open to at least some of the arguments made by Jonathan Mitchell, Trump's attorney at the Supreme Court. Trump could win his case if the court finds just one of those arguments persuasive. Only Justice Sonia Sotomayor sounded like she might vote to uphold the Colorado Supreme Court ruling that found that Trump “engaged in insurrection” and is ineligible to be president. The state court ruled Trump should not be on the ballot for the state's Republican primary on March 5th. Pray the plea of Amos 5:4. “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Friday, February 9th in the year of our Lord 2024.

As global attention turns to France's intricate involvement in African affairs, Abayomi Azikiwe's forthcoming interview with Detroit is Different provides a captivating insight into the historical and contemporary dynamics underpinning France's presence in Africa. A seasoned analyst and the mind behind the Pan African News Wire, Azikiwe delves into the complex relationship between France and its former African colonies, shedding light on the motivations driving France's actions on the continent. Detroit is Different's feature meticulously traces the roots of France's colonial history, a legacy that remarkably stretches across continents and centuries, even encompassing the city of Detroit in the United States. Azikiwe unveils the intricate connection between colonial undertakings and contemporary conflicts, highlighting how this history reverberates in the present day. Central to the discussion is France's insatiable thirst for African resources, an exploitative trend that dates back to colonial times. Former French president Jacques Chirac "without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third [world] power," March of 2008. French President François Mitterand "Without Africa, France will have no history in the 21st century," 1957. The interview brings into sharp focus the recent developments in Niger, a West African nation currently at the forefront of conflict with France. The suspension of Niger's constitution and the dissolution of institutions following a military coup underscore the nation's determination to assert its autonomy over its abundant natural resources, particularly its significant uranium reserves, ranked seventh largest globally. This valuable radioactive metal serves as a cornerstone for various industries, including nuclear energy, cancer treatment, naval propulsion, and weaponry. Azikiwe exposes the historical narrative behind Niger's natural resource industry, revealing how French corporations have dominated this sector, leaving the nation's government with only minority holdings. The struggle for self-determination in Niger represents a wider sentiment across other West African nations once colonized by France, as they rally behind Niger's bid to break free from neo-colonial shackles. As the interview unfolds, Azikiwe's expertise navigates the nuanced layers of France's engagement in Africa, encapsulating not only the historical context but also the contemporary complexities surrounding economic exploitation and political autonomy. This preview only scratches the surface of the profound insights that Detroit is Different's conversation with Abayomi Azikiwe promises to unveil, offering a platform to understand the intricate web of power, resources, and history woven between France and its African counterparts.

“France does not know it, but we are at war with America. It's a permanent war, an economic war, one seemingly without deaths and yet a war to death.” This quote from former French President François Mitterrand illustrates the ancestral gallic defiance toward the US “hyperpower,” one that continues to inform French strategic thinking. So when the US entered secret negotiations with Australia and the UK to launch the AUKUS defense partnership—thus scuttling France's 90-billion dollar submarine contract with Australia—Mitterrand's warnings turned prophetic. Even the usually diplomatic Minister for Foreign Affairs Jean-Yves le Drian spoke of “a stab in the back.” This extraordinary diplomatic coup de théâtre happened amidst an ongoing conversation on the concept of European strategic autonomy, a topic Uncommon Decency covered in depth last year. Can the EU become a geopolitical actor in its own right, and not just a geopolitical playing field for the great powers of the 21st century? Following the events in Afghanistan and Australia, we take stock of where this conversation is headed—and whether the transatlantic relationship has suffered as a result—with The Economist's Sophie Pedder and the Atlantic Council's Benjamin Haddad.

Thirty years ago, on July 29, 1987, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and French President François Mitterrand signed an historic agreement to build a train tunnel under the English Channel. Its purpose was to allow faster and more efficient travel between France and England. This engineering marvel is called the Eurotunnel, Channel Tunnel, or affectionately, “the Chunnel.” This connection between Britain and France has benefited both sides, but what does this accomplishment portend for the future? Is it possible that the Eurotunnel could serve as a symbol of the type of cooperation all nations will one day exhibit?

French President François Hollande and his predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy, are angling for a second face-off in the presidential elections scheduled for May of next year. Over the past few weeks, they've traded barbs, first and foremost about their prowess to fight terrorism. But there is no guarantee whatsoever that they will make it to the second round, or even to the election. Their rivals are actually counting on the public's rejection of such a duel to push them out of the running.

Immediately after the Paris attacks, French President François Hollande called the terrorism “an act of war.” Then on Meet the Press, White House staffer Ben Rhodes went further, saying, “We’ve been at war with ISIS for quite some time.” How does ISIS conceptualize this state of affairs? On The Gist, Max Abrahms from Northeastern University examines the Islamic State’s seemingly paradoxical motives.
