I have to say a big thank you to Adi and Janice who hosted me at their farm Kalmoesfontein this week as part of the Swartland Revolution events they're running— I was invited to give a little talk about Jan Smuts of the Swartland and relished the opportunity to delve deeply into a Great South African's early life. And to the folks that came to ask questions and be part of the event, thank you too for such a warn reception. We're going to deal with two main topics in the years 1871 leading into 1872 - One was the installation of Sir John Molteno as the First Prime Minister of the Cape of Good Hope which marked the start of responsible government in the territory. But the other really big event of 1872 was the death of Zulu king Mpande kaSenzangakhona, leaving the way open for Cetshwayo kaMpande to seize the reins of power. It wasn't going to be that simple of course. Let's have a quick squizz at what was going on globally in 1871. The Franco-Prussian war ended, leading to the Proclamation the German Empire in January. The North German federation and South German States were united in a single nation state and the King of Prussia was declared as the German Emperor Wilhem the first. Germany officially came into being for the first time. Otto von Bismarck would soon become the First Chancellor of the German Empire. In French Algeria, the Mokrani Rebellion against colonial rule broke out in March 71, in March the Paris Commune was formally established in France. The Commune governed Paris for two months, promoting an anti-religious system, an eclectic mix of many 19th-century schools of thought. Policies included the separation of church and state, the reduction of rent and the abolition of child labor. The Commune closed all Catholic churches and schools in Paris and a mix of reformism and revolutionism took hold — a hodge podge of folks who pushed back against the French establishment. By late May 71 the commune had been crushed in the semaine sanglante, the Bloody Week, where at least 15 000 communards were executed by loyalist troops. More than 43 000 communards were imprisoned. The Paris Commune left an indelible mark on Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels — two men who, in turn, would go on to cast a long, indirect shadow over the course of world history. In June 1871, the United States launched an assault on the Han River forts in Korea, hoping to pry open Korean markets for American trade. Washington wasn't bothering with tariffs that year — gunboats were quicker. Charles Babbage died on boxing Day, 26 December 1871. A man of many labels—mathematician, philosopher, inventor, mechanical engineer—but one overriding legacy: he imagined the computer before electricity even entered the equation. Babbage's difference engine was the first mechanical attempt to automate calculation - it was his analytical engine that quietly cracked open the future. It carried, in brass and gears, the essential ideas of the modern digital computer—logic, memory, and even programmability. His inspiration? The Jacquard loom, which used punched cards to weave patterns into silk. Babbage observed this and thought: if a loom could follow instructions to weave flowers, why not numbers? Hidden in that question was the dawn of the information age—and even the first glimmer of a printer. The popular movement towards responsible government had arisen in the early 1860s, led by John Molteno - and in a future podcast I will spend more time on his life - a fascinating character who was the first South Africa to attempt to export fruit. He married a coloured woman called Maria in 1841 but catastrophe struck when she and their young son died in childbirth and stricken by grief, he joined a Boer Commando fighting in one of the early Frontier Wars. So it was then that on 22nd October 1872 Cetshwayo summoned all the indunas and izikhulu to kwaNondwengu to announce that King Mpande had died.

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 18 octobre 2024.Avec cette semaine :Nicolas Baverez, essayiste et avocat.Jean-Louis Bourlanges, essayiste.Maximilien Radvansky, élève de l'École normale supérieure.RAYMOND ARON« Les hommes font l'histoire mais ils ne savent pas l'histoire qu'ils font » : cette phrase de Marx, dont on peut dire qu'elle résume la philosophie de l'histoire de Raymond Aron, constitue moins, pour le philosophe, la traduction d'un désespoir face à la difficulté qu'ont les hommes à se représenter le sens de leur histoire, qu'un appel à un engagement mesuré et lucide, engagement dont Raymond Aron témoigne tout au long de sa vie.Engagé d'abord en 1940 avec le général de Gaulle à Londres, celui qui n'a alors publié comme texte majeur que son Introduction à la philosophie de l'histoire, dont le contenu porte néanmoins en germe « toute une vie de travail » (selon les termes de son directeur de thèse), y côtoie le général pendant quatre années, devient secrétaire de la rédaction de la revue La France libre, où il publie des éditoriaux de stratégie qui seront particulièrement remarqués. Engagé ensuite dans l'immédiat après-guerre : alors qu'au normalien, tout juste nommé professeur à la faculté de Toulouse avant la déclaration de guerre, les portes de l'enseignement étaient grandes ouvertes, il choisit le « virus de la politique », devenant éditorialiste à Combat, puis directeur de cabinet du ministre de l'information, André Malraux. L'Opium des intellectuels (1954) ou La Tragédie algérienne (1957) entraînent Aron dans un tourbillon politique, médiatique et polémique. Si son élection au Collège de France en 1970, consécration de sa carrière universitaire avec laquelle il a renoué en 1957, marquent l'apaisement de ses relations avec l'intelligentsia de gauche, Aron continue d'affirmer son engagement militant, que ce soit par ses nombreux éditoriaux au Figaro ou par sa participation au comité de soutien à Valéry Giscard d'Estaing en 1978.Plus qu'un spectateur engagé passivement, Aron est un théoricien du rôle de l'intellectuel en politique, qui tente de cerner les conditions qui justifient l'analyse rationnelle de l'action politique et de définir le champ de la politique en dehors de celui de la morale. Commentant dans ses Mémoires l'évolution qui s'est faite en lui durant son séjour en Allemagne entre 1930 et 1933, pendant lequel il assiste impuissant à la montée du national-socialisme, il écrit ainsi : « J'avais compris et accepté la politique en tant que telle, irréductible à la morale ; je ne chercherais plus, dans des propos ou par des signatures, à donner la preuve de mes bons sentiments. Penser la politique, c'est penser les acteurs, donc analyser leurs décisions, leurs fins, leurs moyens, leur univers mental. Le national-socialisme m'avait enseigné la puissance des forces irrationnelles, Max Weber la responsabilité de chacun, non pas tant la responsabilité de ses intentions que celle des conséquences de ses choix ». Cette importance accordée à l'analyse lucide et objective de la réalité fera d'Aron à la fois un étranger parmi ses collègues journalistes et l'un des meilleurs analystes de la vie politique française pendant près de 40 ans. Le véritable héritage d'Aron réside-t-il dans cette pensée de la politique ?Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Ralph and the crew spend the whole hour with Omer Bartov, professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University, who grew up in a Zionist home, lived the first half of his life in Israel, served in the I.D.F. as a soldier and officer and is the author a New York Times op-ed entitled “I'm a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.” Plus, Ralph pays tribute to legendary Washington Post reporter, Morton Mintz.Omer Bartov is a professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University. He has written widely on modern Germany, France, the Holocaust, and representations of war and genocide. He is the author of the Mirrors of Destruction: War, Genocide, and Modern Identity, and the forthcoming book, Israel: What Went Wrong?, and he's penned a New York Times op-ed entitled “I'm a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.”I published an op-ed in November 2023, and I said there were war crimes, clearly, crimes against humanity, and this will become genocide if it's not stopped. And the Biden administration at the time did nothing. President Biden could have stopped that within two weeks. The Israeli military machine cannot function for more than two or three weeks without constant supply of munitions, without constant supply of financial help, and most importantly, without a diplomatic Iron Dome, especially in the Security Council.Professor Omer BartovIf you say that you are shutting down speech because of anti-Semitism, who are the people who are pushing that? It must be all kinds of Jewish interests that are pushing that. And in that sense, this false campaign against anti-Semitism – some of whose leaders are people with pretty good anti-Semitic credentials themselves – is the best way to raise, to promote and incite anti-Semitism.Professor Omer BartovThere's no moral responsibility, there's no empathy being shown, and much of the population shares that view. To me, as someone who was raised in Israel, spent half of my life there, served four years in the army, to see my own society (including some of my friends) show this kind of moral callousness is frankly quite heartbreaking. And I have to say, it's the result of a long process. It's not only a response to October 7th, it's the result of six decades of occupation, of thinking of Palestinians as not really people who have any right to have rights or any right to health, to security. And in that sense, that long-term occupation has corrupted much of Israeli society. And maybe the most surprising thing is that there's still extraordinary people there who are fighting against that, but their numbers are diminishing, not growing.Professor Omer BartovMorton Mintz was hands-down the greatest consumer reporter of his generation. He opened up one field after another because he had a special sense of newsworthiness that other reporters and editors didn't have. He opened up the coverage of the pharmaceutical industry. He opened up the coverage of the auto industry. And he did so with such formidable documentation and research that other reporters started following the same subject area. So he was a pioneer.Ralph NaderNews 8/1/25* Crusading environmental lawyer Steven Donziger has published a new report in the left-wing outlet Orinoco Tribune on the undercount of the dead in Gaza. In this piece, Donziger uses the statistical model laid out by the prestigious medical journal The Lancet in their 2024 study on the Israeli military campaign, which found the direct and indirect death toll could be as high as 186,000. The Lancet study found that as many as 732 Gazans died every day from these direct and indirect causes. Multiplied by the 594 days the conflict has dragged on, this would equate to a death toll of 434,800, or 20.7% of the enclave's population. As Donziger notes, “If the same level of killing and indirect death that took place in Gaza…happened in the United States proportional to population, roughly 70 million Americans would have been killed.”* In more Gaza news, the Guardian reports that, “On Saturday night, the…IDF…intercepted and boarded the Handala, an aid ship that attempted to reach Gaza as part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition…According to the coalition, IDF soldiers beat and choked…labor activist Chris Smalls.” The severity of the attack on Christian Smalls – founder of the independent Amazon Labor Union (ALU) – caused international outcry. From the Guardian report, “Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs, leaving visible signs of violence on his neck and back.” The incident also drew criticism for another reason: Smalls was the only Black person on board the Handala. While 21 members of the Flotilla group were detained, in their words ”abducted,” “This level of force was not used.” It is unclear why this level of force was used against Smalls and Smalls alone, other than the color of his skin.* Yet more tragic news from Gaza concerns the death of Odeh Hadalin, the 31-year-old Palestinian activist and English teacher featured in the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land. Al Jazeera reports that footage taken by Israeli human rights group B'Tselem “appears to show [Israeli settler Yinon] Levi opening fire on Hadalin during a confrontation in the village [of Umm al-Kheir, south of Hebron].” Levi, already sanctioned by the European Union and the United States over past attacks on Palestinians, reportedly told witnesses he was “glad about it.” Despite all of this, an Israeli court has released Levi on house arrest. Basel Adra, who co-directed No Other Land with Yuval Abraham, wrote “This is how Israel erases us — one life at a time.”* One positive development is in progress however. According to the Embassy of France in the United States, "France is prepared to fully recognize the State of Palestine, and will do so in September." French recognition of the Palestinian state, will If it ultimately comes to pass, have major ramifications on the world stage. While 147 member states of the United Nations have recognized Palestine, only 10 out of 27 EU countries have done so, mostly former Eastern Bloc states like Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and Romania, along with the former country of Czechoslovakia. The modern country of Slovakia has reaffirmed their recognition; Czechia has not. In 2024, several more European nations extended recognition, including Norway, Slovenia, Ireland and Spain. France however would tip the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council to a 3-2 majority in recognition of Palestine, along with Russia and China. Moreover, AP reports the United Kingdom is now saying they will “recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza,” among other conditions. If this happens, The permanent members of the Security Council would be split 4-1, with the United States as the lone holdout. This would be nothing short of an international relations sea change on the question of Palestine.* In some more positive foreign policy news, Jeremy Corbyn's new party in the U.K. is getting started with a bang. According to the man himself, over 600,000 people have signed up to register with the new party, which describes itself as “a new kind of political party. One that is rooted in our communities, trade unions and social movements. One that builds power in all regions and nations. One that belongs to you.” Polls show this new party in the lead among Britons aged 18-24 and Corbyn leading Labour Party leader Keir Starmer by “Almost Every Metric,” among members of the rightwing populist Reform Party. That said, the Reform Party is still projected to win an overwhelming victory compared to all other parties in the next elections, though those are not expected to be held until 2029.* In Congress, Bernie Sanders forced a vote Wednesday on two new Senate resolutions to block arms transfers to Israel. Resolution 34 would “prohibit the U.S.-taxpayer financed $675.7 million sale of 201 MK 83 1,000-pound bombs; 4,799 BLU-110A/B General Purpose 1,000-pound bombs; 1,500 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kits for MK 83 bombs; 3,500 JDAM guidance kits for MK 83 bombs; and related logistics and technical support services,” while Resolution 41 would “prohibit the sale of tens of thousands of fully automatic assault rifles.” These resolutions got the support of 27 Senators, a new record and a majority of the Democratic Senate Caucus, but still far, far short of even a simple Senate majority. Perhaps a more portentous development is that Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene this week became the first Republican in Congress to call the crisis in Gaza a “genocide,” according to the Hill. It remains to be seen whether this will help break the dam on that side of the aisle.* In New York City, new polling shows stunning results for Zohran Mamdani. The new poll conducted by Zenith Research and Public Progress Solutions shows Zohran dominating the 5-way race, earning 50% and beating out the other four candidates combined. Mamdani does even better in head-to-head matches against disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo and corruption-dogged incumbent Mayor Eric Adams. The crosstabs are even more astonishing. Despite the breathless and baseless accusations of antisemitism, Zohran is winning 67% of Jews under age 45 and a whopping 85% of men ages 18-34. This second number is key as Democrats struggle to attract young men. One warning sign: a recent Pew poll shows Republicans with an 18-point lead among men in the Gen Z cohort.* In an ominous challenge to the separation of church and state, the Hill reports President Donald Trump released a memo Monday allowing federal employees to “attempt to persuade co-workers about why their religious beliefs are ‘correct.'” This memo cites “crosses, crucifixes and mezuzah,” as displays of religious indicia that should not result in disciplinary action. This bizarre and constitutionally dubious policy seems likely to lead to workplace discord.* In more Trump news, CBS reports Trump has ousted “Two top Justice Department antitrust officials.” According to sources, two deputies to Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater, who leads DOJ antitrust efforts, were “placed on administrative leave last week and fired on Monday for insubordination.” These two figures are Roger Alford, principal deputy assistant attorney general, and Bill Rinner, deputy assistant attorney general and head of merger enforcement. It is not clear why exactly Alford and Rinner were pushed out, but there has apparently been substantial strife within the administration over the antitrust cases against T-Mobile and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. AAG Slater is also overseeing antitrust lawsuits against Capital One, Apple, Google, and other major companies.* Finally, Wired reports the small Pacific island nation of Tuvalu is planning the first migration of an entire country. Tuvalu, which could be completely submerged by rising sea levels within the next 25 years, is seeking to resettle 280 Tuvaluans in Australia each year. This climate-driven mass migration is a stark sign of things to come if the international community continues to dither or deny the reality of the oncoming climate catastrophe. Today Tuvalu, tomorrow the world.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

The bike racing action across France doesn't end when the men hit the Champs-Élysées. Heck, it's just getting warmed up for the fourth edition of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift! It's long overdue that women's cycling is hitting its stride right now and the fact that it's earning its due is thanks in part through the work of Kate Veronneau, the Director of Women's Strategy at Zwift. This former NCAA Division 1 college basketball player and professional cyclist has helped the TdFFaZ earn such a high place in global recognition. Kate was kind enough to check in during a very busy week in France to help spread the word about what all she's doing right now, this week, and year round to elevate not just women's cycling, but women in general.  This episode is supported by Bicycle Accident Law.

Kate Adie presents stories from Gaza and Israel, the US, Lesotho, Taiwan and Peru.This week the British government pledged to recognise a Palestinian state, unless Israel meets certain conditions, including agreeing to a ceasefire in Gaza and reviving the prospect of a two-state solution. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the decision rewarded 'Hamas's monstrous terrorism.' Jeremy Bowen reflects on this latest chapter in Britain's long-standing influence in the region.At the UN, Saudi Arabia and France co-hosted a summit to rekindle plans for a two-state solution as a means to find peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Dozens of countries were in attendance - others were notable for their absence. Tom Bateman reports from New York.Donald Trump once claimed Lesotho was a country ‘nobody has heard of' – but it has been feeling the pinch of his trade policy. While the White House rowed back on its threat of imposing 50 per cent tariffs, the uncertainty has already led to many job losses, finds Shingai Nyoka.Taiwan's president William Lai suffered a major setback last weekend, in a recall vote that had been aimed at removing twenty-four opposition lawmakers - yet failed to unseat any of them. James Crabtree reflects on how Taiwan's characteristically flamboyant campaigning style was markedly absent in this latest vote.And finally, many of our staple foods are at risk because of increasingly frequent extreme weather - including the humble potato. But some farmers are tracing the crop's ancient roots in search of solutions to help mitigate the risks, as Beth Timmins has been finding out in the Peruvian Andes.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production Coordinators: Sophie Hill & Katie Morrison Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

As reports of starving children in Gaza mount, France, Britain, and Canada are preparing to recognize Palestinian statehood. On this week's On the Media, Palestinian journalists documenting food scarcity in Gaza are themselves going without food. Plus, how Israeli tv stations are deflecting blame for the blockade on aid.[01:00] Host Micah Loewinger speaks with Adel Al Salman, a Cyprus-based photo editor for the Agence France-Press. They discuss how shocking images of starving children may have contributed to a shift in the conversation around Gaza, and how the Palestinian journalists taking those photos are starving, too. Plus, Micah asks Diana Buttu, a lawyer and former peace negotiator for the Palestine Liberation Organization, if the change in discourse will make a difference on the ground in Gaza.[17:04] Micah sits down with Oren Persico, media critic and staff writer for the Israeli outlet The Seventh Eye, about how (and if) images of the horrors in Gaza are being discussed on Israeli television.[29:44] Host Brooke Gladstone talks with Emily Nussbaum, television critic for The New Yorker, about the forgotten story of Gertrude Berg, the woman behind the television sitcom, and the anti-communism campaign that clouded her legacy.  Further reading:“Israeli Human Rights Group Says Israel Is Committing Genocide.

Leaders in France, Canada, and the U.K. have stated they would recognize and call for Palestinian statehood at the next General Assembly of the United Nations. The calls from world leaders come on the heels of troubling images of starvation and famine in Gaza. President Trump has long been an ally of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but Trump also pushed back against Netanyahu's claims that there was no starvation in the region. It's a rare pressure campaign on the Israeli government to improve conditions for Palestinians as the conflict between Israel and Hamas wages on. But will it result in meaningful change? Are other factors playing into Trump's callout?Republican legislators in Texas will discuss redrawing the state's congressional map during a special summer session.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they react to President Trump's firm opposition to a Palestinian state, a deeply disappointing July jobs report, and more glaring incompetence from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and former Vice President Kamala Harris.First, they applaud Trump for refusing to follow France, Great Britain, and Canada in announcing their support for a Palestinian state. Trump says would be rewarding Hamas for its atrocities against Israel and beyond. Jim and Greg also explain why calls for establishing a Palestinian state with Mahmoud Abbas and Palestinian Authority is a horrible idea.Next, they shake their heads at the July jobs report, which shows just 73,000 jobs added, a number far below expectations. Making matters worse, numbers from May and June were revised down by more than 250,000. Jim suggests tariffs may be hurting job creation, and both he and Greg warn against using tariff revenues to send us all checks.Finally, they roll their eyes as Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass says the withdrawal of more National Guard personnel means they are in "retreat." Bass also cluelessly says he wants all military out of LA. Jim and Greg remind you that Bass was on Joe Biden's short list for vice president in 2020. Ultimately, that not went to Kamala Harris, who proved again on national television Thursday night, that she has no business being anywhere near the Oval Office.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

//The Wire//2300Z July 31, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: DIGITAL PRIVACY CONCERNS REMAIN A CENTRAL FOCUS OF THE WESTERN WORLD. RANDOM ATTACKS TAKE PLACE IN MULTIPLE RECREATIONAL AREAS AROUND THE USA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Global: Around the world, the push for more censorship and a reduction of privacy continues to grow in size and scope. In the United Kingdom, politicians have called for an expansion of the Online Safety act to include generic search engines such as Google. Following the implementation of the Online Safety Act, several other EU member states have also voiced their support for similar efforts in their nations, which include: Italy, Greece, Denmark, Spain, and France.Germany: Outrage has resulted from a recent push in Bavaria to tax groundwater. As of January 1, 2026, residents of the region will be taxed 10 cents per cubic meter of groundwater that is pumped out of the ground on one's own property.Analyst Comment: Once various entities around the world realize that this tax will just result in general discontent, and not an outright open rebellion, this tactic will expand greatly to be utilized by other nations.Ireland: New footage has come to light regarding an Islamic terror attack that took place in Dublin on Tuesday. The video of the attack confirms that the assailant shouted Islamic phrases during the attack, in which he approached a police officer from behind, stabbing him with a large knife.Analyst Comment: Continuing the trend of European media, all references to this attack strategically omitted all references to terrorism, with all media groups calling this incident an "unprovoked attack" and protecting the identity of the terrorist. This half-truth omits the detail that the individual was attempting to commit an act of jihad.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Various trade deals remain in development with the White House granting Mexico an extension regarding the implementation of a deal with the United States. South Korea also finalized their re-negotiation of trade policy with the United States yesterday.North Carolina: A shooting was reported at the Avalon Fishing Pier in Kill Devil Hills this afternoon. One person was killed and another wounded during the engagement, with the shooter egressing from the area before being immediately captured nearby. No further details have been provided on this shooting, or what prompted the incident in what is normally a low-crime area.Colorado: This afternoon an ICE-involved shooting was reported in the Black Forest area near Colorado Springs. Federal authorities state that immigration enforcement operations were underway throughout the area this afternoon, when two illegals in a vehicle attempted to ram an officer while trying to escape the scene. One agent engaged the vehicle with small arms, which was later abandoned by the assailants. The status of the illegals remains unknown, and a significant police presence has been noted throughout the area.Georgia: Four people have been arrested for an attack that took place at the Low Gap Campground last weekend, and more details pertaining to the case have also come to light. A man and his daughter were fishing when four individuals hit him over the head with a glass bottle, knocking him unconscious and causing severe bleeding. The man's daughter was also attacked, but managed to stab her attackers with her knife, causing the attackers to flee.Arkansas: An assailant has been arrested in conjunction with a double-homicide investigation at  Devil's Den State Park, following the discovery of the remains of two hikers on a trail in the park on Saturday. The attacker has been identified as Andrew James McGann, who was arrested today after confessing to the murders.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: These attacks are an unfortunate reminder

Dans la première partie de l'émission, Dominique et moi allons parler de l'actualité. Notre premier débat portera sur l'accord commercial entre les États-Unis et l'Union européenne. Cet accord est-il équitable ? L'Union européenne a-t-elle été intimidée par le président américain ? Nous discuterons ensuite de l'un des événements les plus tragiques qui se déroulent actuellement sur notre planète : la famine à Gaza. Le conflit qui continue à Gaza divise les Israéliens. Cela va-t-il apporter un changement ? Notre section scientifique sera consacrée à une étude qui traite de la désinformation climatique sur les réseaux sociaux. Et nous conclurons la première partie de l'émission par un hommage à Ozzy Osbourne, le légendaire leader de Black Sabbath et figure emblématique du heavy metal, qui vient de décéder à l'âge de 76 ans.    Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue et à la culture françaises. La leçon de grammaire portera sur les pronoms relatifs complexes : lequel, laquelle, lesquels, lesquelles, duquel, de laquelle, desquels, desquelles, auquel, à laquelle, auxquels et auxquelles. Nous discuterons du bilan à long terme des JO de Paris 2024 un an après les Jeux. Nous verrons ce qui a changé en France au-delà de l'enthousiasme suscité par cet évènement mondial. Nous terminerons avec l'expression Faire avancer le schmilblick. Nous évoquerons le débat qui entoure la nouvelle loi Duplomb. Deux millions de personnes viennent de signer une pétition qui réclame son abrogation. Quelle décision prendra le gouvernement ? - Les responsables européens sont critiqués pour avoir cédé aux pressions américaines sur les droits de douane - Les Israéliens protestent contre la guerre à Gaza - Sur les réseaux sociaux, les fausses informations se propagent plus rapidement que les alertes météo - Ozzy Osbourne, l'icône du hard rock et le chanteur du groupe Black Sabbath, décède à l'âge de 76 ans - Un an après Paris 2024, quel est le bilan des Jeux ? - La pétition contre la loi Duplomb récolte deux millions de signatures

Cet été, retrouvez le meilleur d'Au cœur de l'Histoire, avec Virginie Girod ! Au XIVe siècle, les royaumes de France et d'Angleterre s'affrontent lors d'un long conflit qui prendra le nom de guerre de Cent Ans. Dans ce contexte, le roi de France, Charles VI (1380-1422) montre des signes de faiblesse en multipliant les crises de démence. Son mal empire après le tragique épisode du bal des Ardents, durant lequel il manque de perdre la vie dans un incendie. Dès lors, il alterne périodes de lucidité et de folie. Le roi étant dans l'incapacité de régner, une régence s'organise. Mais en 1420, celui que l'on surnommait le "Bien aimé" signe le traité de Troyes, déshéritant son propre fils, le futur Charles VII, au profit du roi d'Angleterre, manquant ainsi de rattacher la France au royaume d'outre-Manche.Distribué par Audiomeans.

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Rudyard and Janice start today's show with Trump's late night tariff announcement which sets a 35% tariff on Canada, but only really affects 10% of goods that fall outside of CUSMA. The punishing tariffs on aluminum, steel, and the auto industry, however, remain. Why did Mark Carney not try to strike a deal before today's deadline? What will happen if CUSMA protections are removed in a future deal? And how should Canada prioritize its sovereignty and self-respect in negotiations that give us privileged access to the US market? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice talk about Canada's announcement that it will join France and the UK in recognizing Palestinian statehood at the UN in September. While it is understandable that western governments want to do something to stop the carnage in Gaza and bring an end to this war, this type of political statement emboldens Hamas and makes the conflict more intractable and less solvable. In the midst of this turmoil, however, came a surprising announcement from surrounding Arab countries: the governments of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, and several others called on Hamas to disarm and end its rule over the war torn strip. Is this the start of the end for the terrorist group's reign in Gaza?

Aujourd'hui, Demain N'attend Pas souffle sa 100ème bougie. Et je ressens une immense gratitude.  J'ai lancé ce podcast en plein Covid. Le monde était à l'arrêt.Je revenais en France après sept années passées aux États-Unis, avec une envie profonde de me rapprocher du monde de l'impact et des personnes engagées, ici, en France. Dans un moment où tout semblait incertain, j'avais besoin de sens, d'espoir, d'action … Alors, j'ai allumé un micro. Je suis partie à la rencontre de celles et ceux qui étaient assez braves, assez fous, assez téméraires pour croire qu'ils pouvaient réparer le monde et contribuer à le rendre un peu meilleur. Et avec la conviction que nous étions nombreux à ressentir un besoin vital d'entendre ces voix. Depuis, le podcast a grandi, épisode après épisode :Avec des invités formidables qui s'engagent de mille façons : dirigeants d'entreprises engagées, fondateurs d'ONG, artistes activistes, scientifiques, philosophes, explorateurs…  Avec une déclinaison sous forme de livre – Les Inspirants (Éditions de l'Aube), disponible en librairie et hautement recommandé comme lecture d'été (à la Fnac ici) Avec des enregistrements vidéo disponibles sur YouTube depuis le début d'année (je n'en reviens toujours pas d'avoir une chaîne Youtube… cela fait beaucoup rire mes enfants…) Avec des moments merveilleux de rencontres en direct, comme les tables rondes organisées à l'occasion de l'Université de la Terre ce printemps. Aujourd'hui, Demain N'attend Pas vous appartient. Il existe pour vous et grâce à vous, vous qui l'écoutez et le soutenez. Semaines après semaines. Gratitude infinie !  Pour ce 100ème épisode, je me suis lançée dans un exercice inhabituel : passer de l'autre côté du micro. Je suis interviewée par mon amie Claire Bône, fondatrice du magnifique podcast Encore. Moi qui ne suis habituellement pas très bavarde sur mon compte pendant les interviews, je vous raconte tout : Pourquoi j'ai créé Demain N'attend Pas, Mes rêves les plus fous avec ce podcast, Ce que j'ai appris grâce à toutes ces conversations, Comment je vois son avenir…  J'espère que vous aurez autant de plaisir à l'écouter que j'en ai eu à l'enregistrer Et comme toujours, si l'épisode vous plait et si vous voulez fêter avec moi, partagez-cet épisode. Offrez-le à un ami, un collègue, votre voisine engagée ou votre oncle sceptique. Qui sait, il pourrait adorer 

Andre and Edouard Michelin published their first Guide on 1st August, 1900. Now recognised as  the gold standard in luxury restaurant reviews, the original guide was primarily created to encourage demand for automobiles - and, therefore, Michelin tyres. At the time, there were fewer than 3,000 cars on French roads. Nearly 35,000 copies of this first, free edition of the guide were distributed, providing information to motorists including maps, tyre repair and replacement instructions, car mechanics listings, hotels, and petrol stations throughout France. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why the Michelin mascot, Bibendum, is white; reveal the levels of secrecy expected of Michelin's restaurant inspectors; and consider why Japan ranks second to France in its star ratings…  Further Reading: • ‘The ingenious story behind Michelin stars' (BBC Travel, 2018): https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20181024-the-ingenious-story-behind-michelin-stars • ‘What's wrong with the Michelin guide?'

Chaque vendredi du 25 juillet au 15 août, Tip & Shaft vous propose sa série estivale baptisée Un été post Vendée Globe, l'occasion d'écouter ou de réécouter les récits de skippers ayant participé à la 10e édition. Deuxième invité, Tanguy Le Turquais, arrivé en 17e position. Écoutez-le dans ce 115e épisode d'Into The Wind, enregistré le 4 avril 2025, peu de temps après le retour de son Vendée Globe.-- Si on s'en tient aux grandes dates de sa carrière nautique, la trajectoire de Tanguy Le Turquais, 35 ans, est limpide : une enfance à bord d'un bateau amarré à Vannes, un brevet d'Etat voile et un capitaine 200 comme diplômes, cinq saisons en Mini 6.50, cinq saisons en Figaro, trois saisons en Imoca et un magnifique Vendée Globe 2024-2025 conclu en 84 jours, un petit 1/4 d'heure derrière Benjamin Ferré, premier bateau à dérives.Dans les faits, évidemment, ça a été un peu plus compliqué que ça !Issu d'un milieu modeste et pas très porté par les études, il travaille d'abord très jeune en école de voile, se spécialise en mécaniqie marine et entame une carrière de convoyeur qui lui forge son expérience sur le terrain. Sans le sou, il achète avec Clarisse Crémer, qu'il rencontre en croisière, un Pogo pour se lancer dans la Mini. Au bout de deux saisons de vaches maigres, avec deux bouts de ficelles et sans le sou, il finit 6e de la Mini 2013 et récidive en 2015 pour accrocher un podium, toujours en série. Bilan des années mini : deux titres de champion de France promotion.Les années Figaro constituent un passage obligatoire, à ses yeux, pour parfaire son apprentissage vers le Vendée Globe, un projet qui commence à germer dans un coin de sa tête. Mais il le dit lui-même, il n'y prend pas beaucoup de plaisir. C'est là, aussi, que germe en lui l'envie de "ne pas être qu'un simple panneau publicitaire". Il ne parvient pas à convaincre son sponsor Queguiner de le suivre en Imoca, alors il y va tout seul, en soutenant une cause, celle de Lazare, qui organise des colocations entre sans-abris et jeunes actifs.A l'automne 2021, il lance son projet en achetant l'ancien Imoca de Damien Seguin : là aussi, le chemain sera semé d'embûches, entre Transat Jacques Vabre finie in extremis et sprint retour, accusations de triche avec sa compagne Clarisse Crémer - ils ont été blanchis par la FF Voile - mais toujours en jouant dans le paquet de tête des bateaux à dérives.Son Vendée Globe sera à l'image de l'homme et du marin : une explosion d'émotions au début, puis à fond, jusqu'au dernier jour, pour finir juste derrière Benjamin Ferré, avec qui une relation unique s'est créée.Et maintenant ? Pas de Vendée Globe supplémentaire : pour lui, cette course ne se vit qu'une fois, et les émotions y ont été tellement fortes, qu'on ne peut les galvauder.Mais celui qui dit être devenu "entrepreneur malgré lui" a déjà repris son bâton de pélerin pour se lancer dans un nouveau projet, en Ocean Fifty cette fois. Et toujours sous les couleurs de Lazare, parce que naviguer aligné avec ses valeurs compte beaucoup pour Tangy Le TurquaisRediffusé le 1er août 2025Diffusé le 4 Avril 2025Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer plans to recognise a Palestinian state in September at the UN General Assembly. The decision comes after some Labour MPs and cabinet ministers accused him of being too slow to respond to the Gaza crisis. Host George Parker is joined by FT columnists Stephen Bush, Robert Shrimsley and deputy opinion editor Miranda Green to discuss how the prime minister arrived at this decision, and whether UK recognition of a Palestinian state will change the state of play in the region.

The Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said Canada plans to recognise a Palestinian state in September, becoming the third G7 nation to make such an announcement in recent days. Mr Carney said such a move would depend on democratic reforms, including the Palestinian Authority holding elections next year without Hamas. His remarks come a day after the UK announced it would recognise a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agreed to a ceasefire and other conditions and a week after France made a similar announcement. Israel has condemned the moves, calling them a reward for terrorism. The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

On Tuesday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer declared that the UK will do the same – that is, unless Israel (and only Israel) meets a set of conditions.
