Unlocked after 1 year for patrons only: We review the diplomatic landscape of Europe on the eve of war in the summer of 1914—and then trace the dizzying cascade of events that followed after the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914.

Vous êtes de plus en plus nombreux à nous écouter (on vous en remercie !). Et, ces derniers mois, on a reçu beaucoup de messages de nouveaux auditeurs pour nous demander de leur recommander des épisodes parmi notre longue bibliothèque de podcasts. Pour cela, on va remettre en avant d'anciens épisodes... en replay ! On vous propose donc aujourd'hui de (re)découvrir notre podcast conscacré à André Terrail, le président et propriétaire de La Tour d'Argent. Véritable monument de la gastronomie, La Tour d'Argent a traversé les siècles et marqué l'histoire de la scène culinaire parisienne. Pour co-animer cet épisode de Business of Bouffe, Philibert est accompagné d'Emmanuel Rubin, journaliste et critique gastronomique au Figaro. À travers cet épisode, nous cherchons à comprendre comment André Terrail, qui succède à son père et à son grand-père, parvient à conjuguer tradition et modernité pour faire vivre ce monument de la gastronomie dans son époque. Ainsi, dans un premier temps nous revenons sur la longue et fascinante histoire de La Tour d'Argent. André nous plonge alors dans les riches archives du restaurant, puisque son histoire commence en 1582. D'André Terrail, son grand-père à Claude Terrail, son père, nous traversons les époques pour comprendre les étapes du développement de cette institution de la gastronomie parisienne et les raisons de sa renommée mondiale. Dans la seconde partie de l'épisode, nous évoquons d'abord l'arrivée d'André à la tête de La Tour d'Argent, après le décès de son père en 2006. Nous prenons le temps de parler des différentes activités du groupe Tour d'Argent, pour en comprendre les rouages. Puis, André nous révèle les détails et les coulisses du projet de « la nouvelle Tour d'Argent » qui a réouvert à l'automne 2023 après plus d'un an de travaux colossaux. Cet épisode a été enregistré avec la participation exceptionnelle de François-Régis Gaudry (“On va déguster” France Inter), Eric Beaumard (Sommelier-directeur du Cinq, George V) et Denis Courtiade (Directeur du restaurant gastronomique au Plaza Athénée).

Tăng trưởng và đà bật dậy của nền Trung Quốc là nỗi ám ảnh người giàu nhất hành tinh, tỷ phú người Pháp Bernard Arnaud, ông vua không ngai của ngành thời trang hạng sang và của nền công nghiệp de luxe trên thế giới. Chỉ một mình Trung Quốc đem về hơn 30 % doanh thu cho LVMH ông điều hành. Trong 2 quý đầu năm 2024 mức lãi của công ty giảm mạnh, do yếu tố Trung Quốc. Ngành thời trang de luxe, nói riêng, nền công nghiệp hạng sang của Pháp nói chung quy tụ 4 đại tập đoàn (LVMH, Kering, Hermès và L'Oréal) chiếm hơn 1/3 trị giá trong số 40 tập đoàn hàng đầu tham gia thị trường chứng khoán Paris. Đây cũng là một con gà đẻ trứng vàng, đem về 5 % GDP cho nước Pháp. Châu Á và Mỹ là hai thị trường lớn nhất của những nhãn hiệu nổi tiếng, từ các nhà may Givenchy đến Chanel hay Dior, từ hãng rượu champagne Moët & Chandon đến hiệu kim hoàn và đồng hồ Cartier, từ hãng mỹ phẩm L'Oréal đến hiệu nước hoa Guerlain… Hầu hết trong số này lệ thuộc đến hơn 30 % vào các khách hàng của Trung Quốc. 80 % các sản phẩm như túi xách, giày da, thắt lưng, hay khăn quàng cổ của Hermès đều dành để xuất khẩu. Theo thẩm định của cơ quan tư vấn trong ngành thời trang hạng sang Bain&Compagny, trước khi đại dịch Covid bùng phát, 33 % thị trường hàng xa xỉ trên thế giới « đổ về » Hoa Lục và Hồng Kông.  Trả lời đài truyền hình Pháp France24, Bruno Lavagna tác giả cuốn sách mang tự đề Géopolitique de Luxe – Địa chính trị của ngành công nghiệp hạng sang (NXB Eyrolles) nhận định : châu Á, mà dẫn đầu là Trung Quốc, đang trở thành tâm điểm của thế giới.« Nhìn lại lịch sử, khái niệm hàng hạng sang « de luxe » không mang tính toàn cầu, vì mỗi người, mỗi nền văn hóa họ có cái nhìn riêng về thế nào là hàng sang, thế nào là hàng cao cấp… Tuy nhiên có một khác biệt rất lớn, đó là châu Âu, mà đứng đầu là Pháp và Ý đã tạo nên được cả một mảng công nghiệp hạng sang uy tín và được cả thế giới ưa chuộng. Đó là nhờ vào chính sách quảng bá rất mạnh, qua các tổ chức tập hợp các nhà sản xuất hàng cao cấp. Ở Pháp thì có Comité Colbert, Ý thì có quỹ Antagalma. Rất nhiều những nhãn hiệu nổi tiếng của Pháp, của Ý lừng danh trên thế giới. Hiện tại thị trường chính trong lĩnh vực này đang nằm ở châu Á, bắc Mỹ. Tương lai có phần nghiêng nhiều hơn nữa về châu Á ».Trung Quốc, « el dorado » của các nhà thời trang Pháp  Cho đến năm 2013 nhu cầu tiêu thụ hàng hạng sang của Trung Quốc tăng đều đặn hơn 10 % một năm, trước khi bứt phá với kỷ lục 37 % trong năm 2019. Chẳng ngờ  trong thời gian Trung Quốc đóng cửa để chống dịch, năm 2020 vào lúc mà kinh tế toàn cầu lao đao, châu Âu và Hoa Kỳ, và toàn châu Á bị phong tỏa thì người Trung Quốc tiếp tục mua sắm hàng cao cấp. Tăng trưởng trong lĩnh vực này tại Trung Quốc là 46-47 % trong một năm.Trên sàn chứng khoán Paris, trong năm 2020-2021 cổ phần của Hermès tăng 37 %, của LVHM tăng 32 %.Cựu giáo sư trường cao đẳng kinh doan HEC của Pháp, Jean-Noel Kapferer trên đài truyền hình France24 giải thích hiện tượng này như sau : do Trung Quốc đóng cửa chống dịch, như tất cả mọi người, tầng lớp giàu có tại Trung Quốc bị cấm đi lại, cấm du lịch trong nước bị cấm ra nước ngoài, mọi thú tiêu khiển ở những nơi công cộng đều phải đóng cửa… niềm an ủi của tầng lớp trung lưu trở lên trong xã hội Trung Quốc là mua hàng trên mạng với khuynh hướng dùng hàng tốt. Một nghiên cứu sau dịch Covid-19 cho thấy có đến 50 % người Trung Quốc có nhu cầu mua hàng xa xỉ.Martin Meunier, sáng lập viên hãng Valet de Pique chuyên sản xuất túi xách tay bằng da ngạc nhiên là ngay sau đại dịch, đơn đặt hàng trong hãng ông điều hành đã được nhân lên gấp ba.  Bénédicte Sabadie đặc trách về lĩnh vực hàng hạng sang thuộc cơ quan tư vấ Deloitte không ngạc nhiên trước hiện tượng này :« Ngành thời trang hạng sang là một lĩnh vực đặc biệt luôn có sức kháng cự rất tốt và cũng có khả năng bật dậy rất nhanh để thoát khỏi khủng hoảng. Đây là một khuynh hướng lâu bền, bởi vì thời nào cũng vậy và ở bất cứ nơi nào trên thế giới, người ta vẫn có nhu cầu tiêu thụ hàng cao cấp » Trong chiều hướng đó, tập đoàn Pháp LVMH thông báo tuyển dụng thêm 7.500 nhân viên. LVMH hiện diện trong 6 lĩnh vực khác nhau như ngành thời trang, mỹ phẩm, kim hoàn, rượu champagne, rượu mạnh… và bao gồm các nhãn hiệu nổi tiếng như Louis Vuitton, Dior, Givenchy, Kenzo, Moët & Chandon, Henessy…  Cũng trong thời gian 2020 và cho đến tận hiện tại, tỷ phú Pháp Bernard Arnaud qua mặt các đại gia người Mỹ như Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos hay Mark Zuckerberg… để trở thành người giàu nhất hành tinh. Tài sản cá nhân của ông lên tới 207 tỷ euro và cũng Bernard Arnaud đứng đầu một đại tập đoàn có trị giá hơn 400 tỷ, mà gần một nửa trong đó là vốn của gia đình ông.  Vào lúc các nhà đầu tư và doanh nhân thế giới thất vọng là kinh tế Trung Quốc không phục hồi nhanh và mạnh như mong đợi thì riêng ngành công nghiệp hạng sang vẫn được bình an, ít ra là cho đến cuối 2023.Nhưng gió đã xoay chiều : trong hai quý đầu năm 2024, thị trường Trung Quốc có khuynh hướng tăng chậm lại. Lãi của LVMH trong quý 1/2024 giảm 14 % so với 3 tháng trước đó.Báo cáo của Bain&Company được công bố mùa xuân vừa qua nêu bật một số lý do như sau : Bên cạnh hiện tượng khủng hoảng địa ốc tại Hoa Lục kéo dài, tỷ lệ thất nghiệp của thanh niên vượt ngưỡng 20 %, thì chính sách « đả hổ diệt ruồi » chống tham nhũng của ông Tập Cận Bình ngày càng khiến các đại gia Trung Quốc lo sợ. Không còn mấy ai dám mạnh dạn mua hàng đắt tiền để khoe khoang hay quà cáp.Đầu năm nay, doanh thu của  LVMH tại châu Á, ngoại trừ Nhật Bản, giảm 6 %. Trong trường hợp khả quan nhất, nhu cầu tiêu thụ hàng hạng sang ở Trung Quốc trong năm 2024 cũng chỉ tăng 4 % là cùng. Đã xa rồi thời kỳ tiêu thụ ở Hoa Lục và Hồng Kông tăng 30-40 % một năm.Dân Trung Quốc nghèo đi hơn Một thống kê của Trung Quốc cho thấy trong năm 2022 « tầng lớp những người cực giàu ở Trung Quốc - với tài sản hơn 30 triệu đô la - bị giảm đi mất 7 % » so với hồi trước đại dịch Covid. Đáng lo ngại hơn nữa, « đây mới chỉ là điểm khởi đầu » khi mà người dân Trung Quốc có thói quen đầu tư 70 % của cải vào địa ốc và đang trông thấy tài sản của họ « tan như tuyết dưới ánh nắng mặt trời ».Thêm vào đó, chỉ số chứng khoán trên các thị trường ở Thượng Hải, Thâm Quyến hay Hồng Kông đều giảm mạnh từ hơn một năm nay.Trong hoàn cảnh đó những thành phần có tiền, đã tìm cách đầu tư ở nước ngoài, với những điểm đến dễ dàng như Singapore và trong một chừng mực nào đó là tại Nhật Bản.  Tuy nhiên sự đình đốn của nền kinh tế số 2 toàn cầu cũng như chính sách kinh tế của Trung Quốc không giải thích tất cả những khó khăn mà nhiều hãng hiệu hạng sang của Pháp đang vấp phải.Một nền công nghiệp hạng sang Trung Quốc đang hình thànhBruno Lavagna, nói đến một sự cạnh tranh trực tiếp xuất phát từ những nhãn hiệu de luxe made in China. Ngành công nghiệp hạng sang không là một ngoại lệ : người Trung Quốc học hỏi rất nhanh, nhất là khi lại được chính những chuyên gia về marketing hàng đầu của Pháp và châu Âu tiếp sức : « Các hãng Trung Quốc dựa vào những bí quyết của châu Âu và mời một chuyên gia trong ngành thời trang hạng sang của châu Âu về điều hành tập đoàn. Thí dụ như trong trường hợp của Shang Xia, nhãn hiệu này nổi lên từ 2007 và là một phiên bản Trung Quốc của nhà thời trang rất cao cấp Hermès. 90 % vốn của Shang Xia thuộc về Hermès, bởi tập đoàn thời trang hạng sang này của Pháp ý thức rằng túi xách tay kiểu Kelly hay Birkin (mang tên những ngôi sao điện ảnh nổi tiếng người Mỹ và người Anh) rất được khách hàng Trung Quốc yêu thích, nhưng tại sao lại không nghĩ đến việc cung cấp những sản phẩm hạng sang 100 % mang sắc mầu Trung Quốc ? Chính vì thế mà Hermès nảy sinh ý tưởng đưa những nét đặc thù của Trung Quốc vào thời trang, thí dụ như khai thác cổ áo vét kiểu Mao, hay đồ gốm Trung Quốc… Trái lại thì cũng có những nhãn hiệu là do Trung Quốc phát triển. Tôi muốn nói đến Icicle. Đây là một thương hiệu 100 % vốn Trung Quốc, do các nhà tạo mẫu và thời trang Trung Quốc điều hành với khẩu hiệu là Made in Earth. Họ dùng toàn những chất liệu tự nhiên. Nhưng họ cũng cần có một nhà lãnh đạo người châu Âu để vươn ra quốc tế và thậm chí là nhắm tới các thị trường phương Tây. Đừng quên rằng Icicle có cửa hàng ở đại lộ George V, một trong những trục lộ sang trọng nhất ở khu tam giác vàng Paris. Nhãn hiệu Trung Quốc này cần cắm rễ vào châu Âu ». Trong số những tập đoàn hạng sang của Trung Quốc bắt đầu nổi lên, thì phải kể đến hai nhà kim hoàn Chow Tai Fook và Queelin, đến hãng sản xuất rượu quý Moutai với trị giá của tập đoàn nay đã lên tới 12 tỷ đô la, tương đương với hãng xe hơi Đức BMW. Nhãn hiệu thời trang Icicle thì một chiếc áo thun rất tầm thường hay một chiếc ví da khá nhỏ được bán ở Paris với giá vài ngàn euro, đắt không kém hàng Louis Vuitton hay Céline. Cũng ông Lavagna, tác giả cuốn sách nói về yếu tố địa chính trị trong lĩnh vực hàng hạng sang, cho rằng các mặt hàng xa xỉ là một công cụ ngoại giao mà bất kỳ một quốc gia nào cũng có thể dùng để gây sức ép hay để mặc cả với các đối tác.Tháng 5/2024 khi chủ tịch Tập Cận Bình công du nước Pháp, mọi chú ý đã hướng về thông báo của Bắc Kinh về việc Trung Quốc có đánh thuế nhắm vào rượu mạnh cognac và armagnac của Pháp hay không. Đây là một đòn răn đe và trừng phạt Paris, đầu tàu của Liên Hiệp Châu Âu, nếu Bruxelles mạnh tay đánh thuế ô tô điện của Trung Quốc nhập cảng vào thị trường chung châu Âu. 

Mary of Teck (or Queen Mary, as many would have known her) was the consort of George V, and the first proper Windsor consort. Together with George, she helped set a model for the modern monarchy, facing a remarkable succession of crises (including two world wars). It was quite the story to get there as well, with a disrupted childhood, a royal tragedy and much more besides. Mary of Teck was there for it all, but will that be enough for the Rex Factor?

“The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime” In the early days of August 1914, the British press has become increasingly vocal about the prospect of war breaking out amongst the great European powers. But the Kaiser still believes he can count on his ambassador in London, and his dear cousin, George V, to make sure Britain stays out of the war, giving the Germans an easy go at the French. And a telegram from the British capital apparently brings the best possible news: Britain declares itself neutral, and will make sure that France does the same… Join Tom and Dominic in the final instalment of our series on the outbreak of the First World War, as the storm clouds of war finally reach Western Europe… _______ LIVE SHOWS *The Rest Is History BOOK TOUR* To celebrate the launch of our second book, “The Rest Is History Returns”, Dominic and Tom will be appearing onstage in both Oxford and Cambridge in September! *The Rest Is History LIVE at the Royal Albert Hall* Tom and Dominic, accompanied by a live orchestra, take a deep dive into the lives and times of two of history's greatest composers: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven. *The Rest Is History LIVE in the U.S.A.* If you live in the States, we've got some great news: Tom and Dominic will be performing throughout America in November, with shows in San Francisco, L.A., Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston and New York.  Tickets on sale now at TheRestIsHistory.com _______ Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand, as heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was one of the most important men in the world. But he was a lonely man, not helped by the fact that, in spite of custom and tradition, he had chosen for wife Sophie, an aristocrat who nonetheless was not noble enough to marry a Habsburg Archduke. Public humiliation, enforced by the Emperor himself, would plague them for the rest of their lives. In an attempt to show a Habsburg presence in the Balkans, Franz Ferdinand and Sophie had been convinced to undertake a military inspection in Sarajevo, amidst rising nationalist tensions in the area. And for once, they would be allowed to perform their public duties together, as a couple. But, after the electricity went down in his train on the way there, the Archduke could feel something sinister was in the making… Join Tom and Dominic in the third part of our series on the assassination that sent millions of men to war, as they discuss how Archduke Franz Ferdinand became heir, his strained relationship with his uncle, the Emperor, shooting parties with Kaiser Wilhem II and George V, and why he went to Sarajevo with his wife, Sophie… _______ *The Rest Is History LIVE in the U.S.A.* If you live in the States, we've got some great news: Tom and Dominic will be performing throughout America in November, with shows in San Francisco, L.A., Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston and New York. *The Rest Is History LIVE at the Royal Albert Hall* Tom and Dominic, accompanied by a live orchestra, take a deep dive into the lives and times of two of history's greatest composers: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven.

Often I find myself ushering people towards adding ‘longevity' to the list. In an era where everything seems to happen ever faster, comparison is rife and the state of the world makes it hard to visualise what the future will hold, this is not an easy aspiration to have. But it is a highly valuable one. Today's guest certainly has achieved it. Let me take you back to 1885. George V was on the throne here, Mark Twain published Huckleberry Finn, the football association recognised professional footballers, the Glasgow Boys first exhibited collectively and George Frederick Smith founded a new paper merchant called GF Smith and S on to supply printers with the finest papers.For over 135 years, GF Smith has been obsessed with the simple beauty and limitless possibilities of paper. Their desire is that, through the hands of the design community, they can bring creativity to life and constantly innovate with one of the world's oldest materials.Today's guest is one of the custodians of this great legacy. Ben Watkinson is the Creative Director of GFSmith. ‘Founded in 1885' isn't a marketing slogan; it's an approach to doing business.

fWotD Episode 2493: Edward VII Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Saturday, 2 March 2024 is Edward VII.Edward VII (Albert Edward; 9 November 1841 – 6 May 1910) was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 22 January 1901 until his death in 1910.The second child and eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Edward, nicknamed "Bertie", was related to royalty throughout Europe. He was Prince of Wales and heir apparent to the British throne for almost 60 years. During his mother's reign, he was largely excluded from political influence and came to personify the fashionable, leisured elite. He married Princess Alexandra of Denmark in 1863, and the couple had six children. As Prince of Wales, Edward travelled throughout Britain performing ceremonial public duties and represented Britain on visits abroad. His tours of North America in 1860 and of the Indian subcontinent in 1875 proved popular successes, but despite public approval, his reputation as a playboy prince soured his relationship with his mother.Edward inherited the throne upon his mother's death in 1901. The King played a role in the modernisation of the British Home Fleet and the reorganisation of the British Army after the Second Boer War of 1899–1902. He re-instituted traditional ceremonies as public displays and broadened the range of people with whom royalty socialised. He fostered good relations between Britain and other European countries, especially France, for which he was popularly called "Peacemaker", but his relationship with his nephew, German Emperor Wilhelm II, was poor. The Edwardian era, which covered Edward's reign and was named after him, coincided with the start of a new century and heralded significant changes in technology and society, including steam turbine propulsion and the rise of socialism. He died in 1910 in the midst of a constitutional crisis that was resolved the following year by the Parliament Act 1911, which restricted the power of the unelected House of Lords. Edward was succeeded by his only surviving son, George V.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:16 UTC on Saturday, 2 March 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Edward VII on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Nicole Standard.

Si vous êtes ici, c'est que vous cherchez à atteindre l'excellence, et je vous félicite pour cela. Mais savez-vous comment y parvenir ? L'excellence ne se fait pas du jour au lendemain, elle est le fruit d'un travail acharné, d'une grande exigence envers soi-même et d'une remise en question constante. Si vous souhaitez progresser et atteindre vos objectifs les plus ambitieux, il est essentiel de sortir de votre zone de confort, d'accepter les critiques constructives et de travailler sur vos faiblesses. L'exigence, c'est se fixer des objectifs élevés et travailler dur pour les atteindre, sans se contenter de résultats médiocres. C'est également être honnête avec soi-même et reconnaître ses propres limites. Cela permet de se concentrer sur ses points forts et d'identifier les domaines dans lesquels il est nécessaire de s'améliorer. La remise en question, quant à elle, consiste à remettre en question ses méthodes de travail et à essayer de nouvelles approches. Cela peut parfois être difficile, car cela implique de sortir de sa zone de confort et de prendre des risques. Mais c'est aussi essentiel pour progresser et atteindre ses objectifs. Enfin, il est important d'accepter les critiques constructives. Nous avons tous des points faibles, et il est normal de recevoir des commentaires négatifs de la part de nos collègues ou de nos mentors. Mais c'est précisément en écoutant ces commentaires et en travaillant sur nos faiblesses que nous pouvons nous améliorer et atteindre l'excellence. En somme, l'exigence et la remise en question sont deux aspects essentiels de l'atteinte de l'excellence. En les incorporant dans vos pratiques de travail, vous pouvez vous assurer que vous progressez constamment et atteignez vos objectifs. Alors, prêt à relever le défi de l'excellence ?

It's Tuesday, December 26th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Ugandan Christians jailed for evangelism Morning Star News reports that two Christians were jailed for evangelizing in eastern Uganda, Africa.   After three days of evangelism in a higher concentration-Muslim area in the city of Soroti, Joseph Omadi and Isaac Napakol were chased by a mob, and then arrested by police. At issue is Uganda's penal code act which criminalizes “writing or uttering words with the intent to wound religious feelings.”  The language is imprecise and may be used to violate freedom of speech in the country. U.S. retaliates in Iraq after three US troops wounded in attack After three U.S. service men were wounded in a drone attack in northern Iraq, America retaliated with three targeted attacks on terrorist facilities in Iraq Monday, reports Reuters. The facilities are run by Iranian-backed militia, Kataib Hezbollah, and affiliated groups. Gaza Hospital announces 209 injured, 131 dead on Christmas The Israeli-Hamas War continued on Christmas Day. Doctors without Borders reported that a Gaza Strip-area hospital, al Aqsa hospital, admitted 209 injured and 131 dead. USA Today quotes Bethlehem Mayor Hana Haniyeh who said, “Our message every year on Christmas is one of peace and love, but this year it's a message of sadness, grief and anger in front of the international community with what is happening and going on in the Gaza Strip.” And the Roman Catholic Pope Francis took the opportunity to express his grief over what he called the “abominable attack” of Hamas on October 7. He called for the release of hostages and an end to Israel's military campaign in Gaza. King Charles' Christmas message King Charles III brought a Christmas message yesterday — in the tradition of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.   He spoke of Christ exemplifying love for neighbors, offering shelter to others, and stressed the importance of protecting the Earth and “our natural world” including animals.   Listen. KING CHARLES III: “Service to others is but one way of honoring the whole of creation, which, after all, is a manifestation of the Divine. This is a belief shared by all religions. To care for this creation is a responsibility owned by people of all faiths and of none. We care for the Earth, for the sake of our children's children. “During my lifetime, I've been so pleased to see a growing awareness of how we must protect the Earth and our natural world as the one home which we all share. I find great inspiration now from the way so many people recognize this, as does the Christmas story, which tells us that angels brought the message of hope first to shepherds. These were people who lived simply amongst others of God's creatures. Those close to nature were privileged that night.” (You can see the transcript here) His great-grandfather, George V, began the tradition of the Christmas Message to the commonwealth back in the 1930s.  Queen Elizabeth II carried on the tradition from the time of her coronation in 1952. While she mentioned the words of Jesus as the “bedrock” of her faith, the messages typically have not reflected the real reason why Jesus came.  Matthew 1:21 says, “You shall call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.” 1 John 3:8b explains that Christ came to destroy the works of the devil, and, as Hebrews 2:14 notes, to destroy the one who has the power of death, that is the devil.  In addition, Mark 10:45 says Christ came to give His life as a ransom for many and Luke 4:18-19 explains that He came to proclaim good news to the poor, to proclaim liberty to the captives, the recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. Contrast between Christmas messages of Biden and Trump  President Joe Biden took to social media with a written Christmas message. He wrote “take a few moments of quiet reflection and find that stillness that's at the center of the Christmas story. May you find peace in this silent night. And warmth from those surrounding you.” Former President Donald Trump was far more explicit in his Christmas message to the nation, reports Newsweek. Listen. TRUMP: “More than 2,000 years ago God sent His only begotten Son to be with us. An angel announced the birth of our Lord and Savior to humble shepherds. He said, ‘I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all of the people. Today, in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah, the Lord. You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.' At Christmas, we thank God for sending us His Son to bring peace to our souls and joy to the world.” Home mortgage rates dropped According to Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey, home mortgage rates are down again — lowered this week to 6.67% down from 6.95% last week.  That's down from 7.79% in October. Prices for homes remain high in the U.S.  The inventory of homes on the market is 34% below where it was before the pandemic. Existing home sales in November registered 7.3% lower than November of 2022. The median sales price was $387,600 — 4% higher than a year ago. Focus on Christ and need for salvation And finally, from all of us at Generations and The Worldview newscast team, we wish you a blessed Christmas season, always remembering and rejoicing in the coming of Jesus Christ, and our need for His salvation.

C dans l'air du 23 décembre 2023 - Noël : des célébrations frappées par l'inflation Si Noël arrive à grands pas, la situation économique n'est pas clémente pour les Français. En cette fin d'année, ils sont, comme depuis de nombreux mois, mis à l'épreuve de l'inflation. Cette période festive voit en effet se poursuivre le phénomène de hausse généralisée des prix, à l'œuvre depuis déjà deux ans. Dans le secteur de l'alimentation, cette hausse a même culminé à 21,3 % en octobre dernier. Si le gouvernement a fait adopter, en novembre, une loi anti-inflation pour mettre les pendules à l'heure, les consommateurs ont continué de se serrer la ceinture. Avec toujours le même objectif : réduire les dépenses, ou plutôt éviter qu'elles n'augmentent trop. Pour cela, ils consomment moins et se rendent là où les prix sont les moins élevés. La fin d'année reste néanmoins synonyme d'une hausse des dépenses, avec notamment les achats de jouets de Noël. C'est la période cruciale pour ce secteur. Les vendeurs et producteurs y font leur plus gros chiffre d'affaires de l'année. Cette période est d'autant plus importante en cette année 2023 que les neuf premiers mois de l'année ont été compliqués. Le chiffre d'affaires du secteur a en effet enregistré un recul de 4,5% par rapport aux neuf premiers mois de 2022, selon le cabinet Circana. Le marché a également évolué, avec l'envolée des ventes des jouets de seconde main. La vente de jouets d'occasion n'est en effet plus un marché de niche. Bien au contraire, la filière connaît un véritable essor, tirée par des parents sensibilisés aux enjeux écologiques ou qui, inflation oblige, cherchent tout simplement à optimiser leur pouvoir d'achat. La tendance est devenue particulièrement visible en cette période de Noël. Cette période de fête est aussi synonyme d'une augmentation du nombre d'arnaques. Les escrocs ne prennent pas de vacances, notamment avec tous les colis livrés durant cette période. De nombreux Français ont reçu un message leur indiquant que le transporteur a tenté de leur livrer un colis, et qu'il attendait des instructions pour sa livraison ou demande le paiement de frais de douane. Le lien envoyé les redirigeant vers un site frauduleux ressemblant fortement à celui du transporteur. Les arnaques en ligne se multiplient également. Entre octobre et novembre, le nombre de plaintes pour faux sites internet a augmenté de 25% sur la plateforme Thésée, créée par l'office anti-cybercriminalité de la police judiciaire. Des escrocs créent de toute pièce des interfaces, sur lesquelles ils proposent la vente de vêtements, de jouets, de livres, ou tout autre produit. Au moment de l'achat, ils récupèrent l'argent et les codes bancaires, sans que les clients ne reçoivent jamais leur produit. Il n'y a pas que des arnaqueurs professionnels qui montent ces escroqueries : des débutants s'y mettent aussi. Car aujourd'hui, créer un site internet se fait en quelques minutes, à l'aide de sites clefs en main ou désormais également grâce à l'intelligence artificielle. S'il est une partie de la population qui ne connaît pas la crise, ce sont les ultra-riches. Leur fortune cumulée a encore augmenté cette année. Une équipe de C dans l'air s'est rendue à lur rencontre dans le prestigieux hôtel George V, à deux pas des Champs-Elysées, au cœur du très chic VIIIe arrondissement de Paris. NOS EXPERTS : - Emmanuel DUTEIL - Directeur de la rédaction - « L'Usine Nouvelle » - Flavien NEUVY - Économiste - Directeur de l'Observatoire Cetelem - Pascale HÉBEL - Directrice associée chez C-Ways - Spécialiste des questions de consommation - Géraldine HOUDAYER - Journaliste – « France Bleu »

Minutes later eleven men – hard men, some of them drunk – come into that basement room...

Pendant que Narendra Modi s'apprête à assister au défilé du 14-Juillet dans la capitale française, la capitale de l'Inde, New Delhi, est en pleine transformation. Le Premier ministre a impulsé une refonte du centre politique du pays, inspirée par l'idéologie nationaliste hindoue de son parti, le BJP. La construction, notamment, d'un nouveau parlement géant suscite la polémique. De notre envoyé spécial à New Delhi,À New Delhi, deux parlements se font désormais face, mais tout les sépare. L'un fut construit par les Britanniques en 1921, puis approprié par la jeune République indienne. L'autre, quatre fois plus grand avec 65 000 m2, vient d'être inauguré par Narendra Modi, comme le symbole d'une « Nouvelle Inde ».« Ce quartier a été construit pour les besoins des impérialistes britanniques. Aujourd'hui, nous avons besoin d'institutions administratives plus efficaces et modernes, capables d'accueillir plus de députés. C'est pour cela que le centre de New Delhi est en train d'être repensé », explique Abhinav Prakash, le vice-président de la branche jeunesse du BJP, le Parti de Narendra Modi. Il nous a donné rendez-vous sur l'artère centrale de New Delhi, récemment rénovée. Tout autour, les futurs sièges des ministères de l'Inde sont en construction. « Cet axe s'appelait l'avenue des rois, en référence aux britanniques, c'est désormais l'avenue du devoir, tout un symbole ! Devant nous se dresse la statue de Subhas Chandra Bose, héros de l'Indépendance indienne, qui a remplacé celle du roi anglais George V », explique-t-il.« Débarrasser l'Inde de l'esclavage »Le nouveau visage de Delhi doit selon Narendra Modi, « débarrasser l'Inde de l'esclavage ». Les symboles britanniques disparaissent, mais pas seulement. Les jardins dits moghols, du nom de l'empire musulman qui a façonné l'Inde pendant des siècles, ont, eux aussi, été renommés, au motif qu'il « glorifiaient des envahisseurs ». Cette lecture de l'histoire s'inscrit dans l'idéologie nationaliste hindoue et ne fait pas l'unanimité. « Je ne suis pas contre la modernisation et le développement de Delhi. Mais il n'y a eu aucune consultation sur ce projet gigantesque. La construction d'un nouveau parlement, par exemple, dans une démocratie, doit associer toutes les sensibilités politiques », estime Karti P Chidambaram, député du Congrès National Indien. Aux côtés de la plupart des partis d'opposition, il a boycotté l'inauguration du parlement géant, officiée par Narendra Modi en présence de prêtres hindous. « C'est la présidente de l'Inde, garante des institutions, qui aurait dû inaugurer ce parlement, pas le Premier ministre ! Il n'est pas le chef du Parlement. Narendra Modi pratique le culte de sa personnalité, comme beaucoup de dirigeants autoritaires », dit-il.Parmi les passants, les avis sont partagés. Une étudiante est assise dans l'herbe avec ses amis. « Ce nouveau parlement va renforcer le prestige de l'Inde. Mais je pense que ce n'était pas une urgence. Depuis le Covid, l'économie est en mauvais état. Cet argent aurait été mieux utilisé pour soutenir les petits entrepreneurs ou les agriculteurs », indique-t-elle. Les travaux dans le centre de la capitale devraient s'achever en 2026 et coûter deux milliards d'euros. 

Three kings in one year and the Spanish civil war

À l'occasion du couronnement de Charles III prévu le 6 mai, "C'est en France" marche sur les traces de la famille royale britannique à Paris. De nombreux lieux sont dédiés à la couronne britannique : l'avenue George V, la place Edouard VII, l'avenue Victoria, la Villa Windsor ou bien le marché aux fleurs Reine Elizabeth II. Une histoire d'amour entre Paris et la "Royal Family" qui ne date pas d'hier : depuis la reine Victoria en 1855, chaque visite de souverain est célébrée en grande pompe.

In 1899, Queen Victoria decided to send a small brass box containing chocolate to her soldiers fighting in the Boer War. Approximately 123,000 of these gifts were distributed. They were well received and are a fascinating part of material culture from that war. World War I would see a similar royal gift – but this gift would not be directly from the sovereign – it would be part of a campaign led by King George V's daughter, Princess Mary.

There is no reasonable explanation, though avoiding sweets may be one of her secrets to longevity. On being presented with a Carvel ice cream birthday cake, she proclaimed it to be, “too sweet”. Or it may be her lifelong embrace of sarcasm and negativity, a sensible outlook given that she has lived through two once-in-a-century pandemics. On the other side of the Atlantic, Queen Elizabeth II died after a reign of over 70 years. Whatever she embodied socially and politically, she did provide a consistent unifying presence for the UK, and was the only monarch most living humans have known. Unless you turned 104 this week, in which case you have lived during the reigns of five sovereigns: George V, Edward VIII, George VI, QEII, and now King Charles III. To put that in mathematical and historical perspective, if you take Jeannette's birth year, 1918 and subtract her 104 years, you land on 1814, when George III was the monarch. Yes, the same George III who was king during the American revolution. In other news this week, it was the 21st anniversary of the September 11th attacks, which provides a moment to remember those lost on that day, and also to stare in disbelief at how those intervening years have turned Mayor Rudy Giuliani from a mostly respected political leader into a crazed nihilistic side show. And Lewis's “Off the Rails” tour returns this week, with a jam-packed circumnavigation of the New England states, and then it's on to Ohio and Indiana next week. Lewis is looking forward to being back on stage and is hoping he will remember his act, as he has left preparations for the shows to the last minute. “The Rant Is Due” is also back, so send in your rants and remember to tune into the live streams this weekend and throughout the upcoming tour.

As Grandson of George V, George Lascelles was a first cousin to Queen Elizabeth II and with his distinguished beard and Nero style jackets, he was the very image of aristocracy, moving in the highest of royal circles, yet it was in the Royal Circles of Britain's opera houses that he felt most at home. It was at English National Opera North (now Opera North) that Lesley Garrett first met George. With their shared love of all things musical, and both proudly from Yorkshire, they developed a friendship that was to last a lifetime. Having survived capture during the Second World War (deepening his knowledge of opera whilst interned as a prisoner of war), he dedicated much of his time to making opera accessible to all. He strove to deliver the best of opera for everyone, with a genuine passion and commitment that inspired all those he worked with. During his career he served as Director of The Royal Opera House, Chairman of the Board of The English National Opera, Managing Director of the ENO, Managing Director of English National Opera North (now Opera North) and outside of opera he served as a Governor of the BBC and President of the British Board of Film Classification. His other great passion was football. He served as President of Leeds United Football Club from 1961 until his death and was President of the Football Association from 1963 to 1972. As Lesley recalls, he believed that both music and sport were 'levelling', that in these worlds there were no kings or paupers. Throughout his life he supported both of these passions, opening doors for everyone, instilling values of accessibility that live on till this day. He died on 11th July 2011 aged 88. Lesley is joined by Professor Alexandra Wilson, a musicologist, author and cultural historian, specialising in Italian opera and British operatic culture from the 1920's to the present day.
