« Donald Trump déploie des avions de surveillance au-dessus du Nigeria, prélude à une intervention militaire des États-Unis ? » titre Afrik.com. À l'origine de cette question : des données de suivi de vol, révélées par Reuters, en début de semaine. « Depuis fin novembre, un appareil (...) du Pentagone survole quotidiennement l'espace aérien nigérian. » De quoi alimenter « les spéculations sur les intentions réelles de l'administration Trump ». Tout ça, dans un contexte diplomatique en dents de scie, car les tensions étaient, il y a peu, encore palpables : le « 1ᵉʳ novembre [dernier], Donald Trump a menacé le Nigeria d'une intervention militaire » et accusé « le gouvernement de tolérer le massacre de chrétiens », rappelle Afrik.com. « [Donald Trump] a promis de pulvériser les terroristes islamistes ». Son ministre de la Défense a confirmé que le Pentagone « se prépare à passer à l'action ». Ces déclarations ont été vivement critiquées à Abuja, où les autorités rejettent l'idée d'un « génocide chrétien ». Fin de la brouille diplomatique Et il y a quelques jours, une conférence de presse a eu lieu à Abuja, à l'occasion de la visite d'une délégation américaine. La brouille diplomatique entre les États-Unis et le Nigeria semble passée, si l'on en croit les déclarations du ministre nigérian de l'Information, qui évoque « un engagement ferme et respectueux » des deux parties. Ces collectes de renseignements, au-dessus du Nigeria, ce serait donc le « signe d'une coopération sécuritaire accrue », commente pour sa part le journal nigérian The Guardian. D'après un analyste interrogé par Afrik.com, cette activité aérienne démontre aussi la volonté de Washington de reconstituer son réseau de renseignement, dans la région sahélienne. « Après la fermeture forcée de la base américaine d'Agadez au Niger et la montée en influence de la Russie, les États-Unis cherchent manifestement à maintenir une présence stratégique en Afrique de l'Ouest, via le Ghana et, de fait, au-dessus du Nigeria », peut-on lire. À lire aussiNigeria: la brouille entre Washington et Abuja «largement résolue», annonce le gouvernement Problème de sécurité au Nigéria « Ces opérations de surveillance interviennent également plusieurs mois après l'enlèvement, au Niger voisin, d'un pilote américain travaillant pour une organisation missionnaire », rappelle aussi The Guardian. Le scénario d'une intervention américaine est-il plausible ? C'est la question que se pose Afrik.com. Et le mot clé à retenir, c'est « prudence » : « Le Nigeria reste un allié stratégique de Washington et un acteur clé de la lutte régionale contre le terrorisme. Le président nigérian a rappelé que "la violence touch(ait) toutes les communautés" et rejeté toute accusation de persécution religieuse. » Par ailleurs, le Nigeria traverse aussi une période de forte instabilité. Le président a proclamé l'état d'urgence sécuritaire en novembre, « après une succession d'attaques meurtrières et l'enlèvement de plus de 300 écoliers, dans le nord du pays. » À ce sujet, et dans ses colonnes Edito, le journal burkinabé Le Pays commente : « Si l'on en croit les autorités nigérianes, aucun élève enlevé ne se trouve encore entre les mains des groupes armés. Tous, disent-elles, ont été libérés. » Mais, il y a encore des questions sans réponse pour l'instant : dans quelles conditions ont-ils été libérés ? Y a-t-il eu paiement de rançons ? « Car, il faut le dire, le paiement de rançons ne fait que renforcer la capacité de nuisance des groupes criminels. Franchement, le Nigeria, c'est peu de le dire, a mal à sa sécurité intérieure », écrit Le Pays. Au Bénin, pays voisin du Nigeria, Patrice Talon a « fait son au revoir au Parlement » « Une intervention à forte portée institutionnelle, marquée à la fois par la mise en perspective de dix années de réformes et par un ton d'adieu assumé », selon La Nouvelle Tribune. Le journal béninois La Nation revient aussi sur ce dernier discours sur l'état de la nation, aux allures de bilan mais dont le cœur a été consacré à la tentative de coup d'État manquée du 7 décembre, « date désormais inscrite dans l'histoire politique récente du pays ». Le président a mentionné « des assaillants qu'il a décrits comme des "marginaux insensés", manipulés par des intérêts internes et externes en quête de privilèges perdus », peut-on lire. Pour le journal La Nation, ces mots veulent ainsi « souligner la gravité de l'acte, mais surtout la solidité du rempart républicain que constituent les forces armées et de sécurité ». Alors que de futures élections approchent, le président a également dit croire en une transition apaisée, marquée par le renouvellement des institutions et la continuité de l'État.

Many of us quietly accept the idea that our best self lives somewhere in the past — that youth is the ideal and aging is a slow erosion of who we really are. But what if getting older isn't about losing our identity, but deepening it? What if the second half of life could be defined not by decline, but by “joyspan”—our capacity for meaning, connection, and contentment as we age?Our guest on this episode is gerontologist and author Kerry Burnight, PhD. As a professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, Dr. Burnight spent 16 years caring for older adults suffering neglect and abuse. She co-founded the nation's first Elder Abuse Forensic Center, bringing together medicine, adult protective services, and law enforcement to protect vulnerable older adults. Her search for how to help people not just avoid harm, but truly thrive into their later decades led to her work on joyspan, culminating in her New York Times best-selling book Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half (2025). Her work has been featured in outlets including The New York Times, The Guardian, BBC News, and Forbes Health.Over the course of our conversation, Dr. Burnight details the experience of working with older adults suffering from neglect and abuse, the importance of team camaraderie for getting through dark moments, and the need to humanize people going through dehumanizing situations. We discuss joyspan as well-being and fulfillment combined with longevity; how focusing on growing, connecting, adapting, and giving can increase joyspan; how the internalized belief that we have less to offer as we age threatens joyspan; and how older adults are uniquely positioned to contribute to society. Dr. Burnight reminds us that joyspan is a health habit, and the best time to start focusing on this health habit is today.In this episode, you'll hear about: 3:00 - The story behind the first Elder Abuse Forensics Center11:45 - Dr. Burnight's advice for frontline workers navigating cases of elder abuse15:05 - How social connection improves health outcomes 24:00 - Defining joy and how joy can coexist with aging33:15 - How our personal outlook on aging can impact our aging experience 44:30 - The four elements of joyspan 48:30 - Ways to build meaning into your life If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

 The Guardian's Top 100 Players list dropped… and the biggest talking point might be who didn't make it. No Christian Pulisic, despite 12 Serie A players landing on the list, including Scott McTominay, Lautaro Martínez, Denzel Dumfries and others. Meanwhile, The Athletic ranked Pulisic 39th, backing it up with elite production. So where would you rank the U.S. star?  Plus, a busy weekend abroad: McKennie bagged his 21st assist for Juventus, Musah fights for roster momentum, Dest feeds Pepi,  who can't stop scoring, and Jedi Robinson keeps stacking starts in the Premier League.

Democracy in the UK is under strain. Many voters feel deeply alienated from politics, believing that those elected to represent them often pursue narrow or personal interests rather than the public good. Political polarisation, intensified by changes in the media landscape, is undermining constructive debate. And for many citizens, it can feel as though money (rather than votes) is what really speaks loudest in politics.Against this backdrop, there is growing interest in how democratic systems might be reformed to function better and become more resilient. A wide range of proposals has emerged, tackling different aspects of democratic decline. While we can't cover them all in a single episode, today's discussion focuses on two specific reform ideas explored in recent articles published in the journal The Political Quarterly.The first examines the role of donations to political parties, asking how political finance shapes power, influence, and public trust in the democratic system. The second looks at the position of smaller parties in the House of Commons, exploring how parliamentary procedures affect their ability to contribute meaningfully to debate and scrutiny.To discuss these ideas, we're joined by the authors of both pieces:Iain McMenamin, Professor of Comparative Politics at Dublin City University, is an expert on political finance and co-author of the article on party donations.Louise Thompson, Senior Lecturer in Politics at the University of Manchester, is a leading scholar of parliamentary politics and the author of the study on the role of small parties in the Commons.Together, we explore whether reforming party funding and giving smaller parties a stronger voice in Parliament could help rebuild trust, improve representation, and strengthen UK democracy.Mentioned in this episode:‘Unbroken, but Dangerous: The UK's Political Finance Regime and the Rationale for Reform', by Logan De la Torre, Kevin Fahey, and Iain McMenamin 'Modernising the House: Why the 2024 Parliament Highlights the Need to Formalise Party-Group Rights in the House of Commons', by Louise Thompson.  UCL's Department of Political Science and School of Public Policy offers a uniquely stimulating environment for the study of all fields of politics, including international relations, political theory, human rights, public policy-making and administration. The Department is recognised for its world-class research and policy impact, ranking among the top departments in the UK on both the 2021 Research Excellence Framework and the latest Guardian rankings.

The prime ministers of Denmark and Greenland have demanded respect for their borders after US President Donald Trump appointed a special envoy to the Danish territory, which he has said repeatedly should be under US control. So, has Trump put himself on a collision course with the EU yet again? David Smith Washington Bureau Chief, The Guardian joined Shane Coleman on the show this morning.

The boys break down a weird edition of the Caught Offside Cup which featured an Isak goal, a Wirtz assist, some Richarlison chaos, a frantic finish and 2 Tottenham red cards - but it was a player who didn't see red that bothered JJ the most.Plus, we'll share our thoughts on Newcastle throwing away a 2 goal lead thanks to a couple brilliant goals from Reece James and Joao Pedro. We'll also analyze Morgan Rogers' ascension and weigh in on the pressure that Arsenal are starting to feel.And finally, we'll discuss Christian Pulisic's name being left off the Guardian's list of the top 100 male footballers of 2025.

Nicolás Maduro beskrivs som en diktator. Han riggar val och har kört Venezuelas ekonomi i botten. Över Venezuela ruvar nu ett hot om en amerikansk invasion. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. När Venezuelas president Hugo Chávez dör 2013 har han redan utsett sin efterträdare – den då 50-årige utrikesministern Nicolás Maduro. Maduro ger ett vagt löfte om att fortsätta Chávez socialistiska reformprojekt, ett löfte som han får svårt att infria. Trots en av världens största råoljereserver är Venezuela ett land med en ekonomi i fritt fall som åtta miljoner venezuelaner har lämnat. Efter ett decennium som president klamrar sig Maduro fast vid makten trots protester, anklagelser om valfusk och internationella påtryckningar. Inte minst från USA som har förtöjt sitt största hangarfartyg utanför landets kust. Hösten 2025 bombas flera båtar som påstås ha transportera narkotika, med över 80 döda. USA har utlyst en belöning för den som kan bidra med information som leder till att Maduro grips till 50 miljoner dollar, samtidigt som hotet om en amerikansk invasion drar över Venezuela.

The rumor mill is quiet for the Los Angeles Dodgers as the 2025 calendar year comes to a close. Alanna Rizzo and Clint Pasillas dive into some of the moves that have gone on around the league (0:56) and wonder aloud if the Dodgers are done for the year or if a little last minute holiday shopping could be in the works (8:31). Alanna argues for Harrison Bader to come to LA (12:18). Clint shares his thoughts on Hyeseong Kim's future role (17:04).The Dodgers led all of baseball in payroll in 2025.

This time Ned, Adam and Laura talk targets - and why the third Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS3) needs outputs, not simply outcomes. They are joined by the CEO of the Walk, Wheel, Cycle Trust (formerly Sustrans), Xavier Brice, who knows all about strategies, and delivering active transport networks.The government recently ended a consultation on CWIS3 but, frustratingly, the proposals lacked any investment or much strategy. There were no SMART targets, or any outputs, i.e. routes; simply the unachievable outcome that by 2035 walking, wheeling and cycling will be "a safe, easy and accessible option for everyone". Road Investment Strategies, by contrast, focus heavily on routes and infrastructure, so why do we treat walking, wheeling and cycling differently?Xavier Brice has been CEO of the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust since 2016. In 2007 Brice led the development of a new walking and cycling strategy for London, with Transport for London.This month Adam, Laura and Xavier Brice coordinated an open letter to the Secretary of State supporting a better CWIS3. That letter was signed by more than 50 organisations across health, active travel and beyond. It asked that central government maps a true national network of routes by 2030, and sets targets to deliver that network to a proper, accessible standard by 2050.You can read the letter here: https://bsky.app/profile/adamtranter.bsky.social/post/3m7fv3vhyks2rThe letter was covered in the Guardian by Peter Walker: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/dec/12/drivers-cyclists-transport-policy-conservatives-culture-wars-road-safety Shortly after that, Walker interviewed transport minister, Lilian Greenwood, about the importance of 'creating a system that works for everyone': https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/dec/12/drivers-cyclists-transport-policy-conservatives-culture-wars-road-safetyLaura's Freedom of Information requests to English local authorities found just 2 per cent had used legal powers to purchase land - something that's done routinely for roads https://substack.com/home/post/p-178788505And her article on CWIS3: https://lauralaker.substack.com/p/a-cycling-and-walking-strategy-walksThe Walk, Wheel Cycle Trust has been improving the National Cycle Network (NCN). In 2023/24 1.7km of an off-road muddy track connecting the residential area of Newton, in West Doncaster, to Danum retail park, was widened (on NCN62), with seven barriers removed or redesigned, along with improved wayfinding and signage. Estimated annual usage rose by 196% according to the Walk, Wheel Cycle Trust, from 150,000 trips in 2022 to 450,000 in 2024.

To discuss the major political stories and developments over the last twelve months, and what lies ahead for 2026, Ben Wright is joined by George Parker, the political editor of the Financial Times, Pippa Crerar, the political editor of the Guardian and Sebastian Payne, columnist and leader writer for The Times.

On Thursday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the world that the Kennedy Center has now been renamed after President Donald Trump. Her announcement of this great honor was bizarrely obsequious, mimicking phrases Trump himself uses and slathering him with great flattery. We think it's no accident that this comes as Trump's decline is worsening both physically and politically: On Friday, he seemed to nod off amid his escalating physical deterioration. And a brutal Fox News poll finds his approval on the economy cratering, huge majorities saying economic conditions are bad, and even majority opposition to his mighty boat bombings. We talked to Moira Donegan, a columnist for The Guardian, who has a great new piece on Trump's decline. We discuss how Trump's minions are compensating for his deterioration with increasing cult worship, why his physical and political decline are connected, and what it means that the world is now looking beyond Trump.

Synopsis:  Fifty years ago, factory floor workers at Lucas Aerospace challenged their company's focus on war machines with an innovative plan for socially useful production - and it could be just as relevant today.Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation. These audio exclusives are made possible thanks to our member supporters.Description [original release date July 2025]:  Military budgets are skyrocketing across the globe, while funding for social needs—housing, healthcare, education—is being slashed. Politicians often justify this skewed spending by claiming it creates jobs. But what if the people doing those jobs had a say in how public money was used?Fifty years ago, workers at Lucas Aerospace, a U.K. military contractor, designed a visionary proposal known as the Lucas Plan: a worker-led alternative focused on socially useful production rather than weapons of war.In our special report, The Lucas Plan at 50: A Radical Investment in Society, Not the War Machine, Laura spoke with Brian Salisbury, a former Lucas Aerospace shop steward and one of the voices behind that groundbreaking effort. He comes from a proud family of Lucas workers: his father worked there for over 40 years. He himself worked for the company for 22 years at the Birmingham plant. At 90 years old today He says: “At a time when there's a lack of a political alternative narrative to neoliberalism the opportunity to put forward a response from the “bottom up” is essential given the direction of travel by those in power on either side of the Atlantic.”What follows is the full, uncut conversation with Brian—rich with lessons for today's movements for climate justice, peace, and economic democracy.Guest:  Brian Salisbury: Former Lucas Aerospace Shop Steward SPECIAL THANKS: Karen Bell, Joe Guinan, Steve Schofield ADDITIONAL CREW: Stanley Arlidge - Episode Producer, Clementine Malpas, Tiger Nest Films Full Episode Notes are located HERE.  Recommended book:• “The Lucas Plan: A New Trade Unionism in the Making?” by Hilary Wainwright and Dave Elliott, Learn More Related Laura Flanders Show Episodes:Democracy & Capitalism: A Failed Experiment?:  Watch / Listen:  Uncut Conversation - EpisodeCommunity Wealth Building: An Economic Reset:  Watch / Listen:  Uncut Conversation - EpisodeDollars and Democracy: Participatory Budgeting:  Watch / Listen:  Episode•  From Cleveland, OH to Preston, UK.  Community Wealth Building, Watch / Listen: Episode Related Articles and Resources:• A Lucas Plan For the Twenty First Century From Asset Manager Arsenal to Green Industrial Strategy, by Khern Rogsly, October 2024 - Common Welath•  The Lucas Plan the Way to an Alternative Security Strategy, by Khem Royally, December 11, 2024, Rethinking Security• UK to cut green levies on businesses in bid to reduce energy costs and boost manufacturing, by Jessica Elgot and Rob Davies, June 22, 2025, The Guardian•.

Hollywood actor Kate Hudson's latest movie Song Sung Blue is based on the real life story of Wisconsin couple Mike and Claire Sardina. Kate plays Claire, who along with her husband Mike, played by Hugh Jackman, finds local fame in the 1990s as a Neil Diamond tribute act. Kate tells Anita Rani about the appeal of the role and how she's now found empowerment and her voice. Set up in 2015, the Undercover Policing Inquiry is one of the most complicated, expensive and delayed public inquiries in British legal history. At its heart is a series of very serious allegations of systematic abuses by undercover policing units over 40 years, which involved spying on tens of thousands of activists and led to relationships with women who did not know they were being spied on. The BBC's Ayshea Buksh has been following the inquiry closely and joins Anita to explain the latest revelations. Sophie Blake is a former TV presenter and now a campaigner for cancer charities. She is also a single mother living with stage 4 cancer. She joins Anita, along with her teenage daughter, Maya, to talk candidly about parenting through incurable cancer, what this means for their relationship and why time together, especially around the Christmas holidays, is that much more valuable.We hear a lot about young men moving to the Right politically, but at the last election young women swung just as strongly, if not more so, to the Left. Why is this so little discussed and what does it mean for the UK's political future? Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff has been exploring these issues in a new Radio 4 documentary, Left Out: the political radicalisation of young women - and the silence surrounding it. She and Scarlett Maguire from political pollsters, Merlin Strategy, join Anita.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Corinna Jones

The Democratic National Committee will not release its 2024 election autopsy report, which was being anticipated by many voters hoping Democrats understood the reasons for their losses to Trump and MAGA Republicans.  Party officials claim they don't want to divide people, especially since Democrats are winning elections nationwide.  But what this really proves is that it's obvious the report says chasing so-called "moderate" voters cost Democrats that election.

In our final episode of the year we've got some big surprises. Counselor Zachariah finds out his mom has a secret half-brother! Speaking of brotherly love, we also get into our love for the Jonas Brothers Christmas movie, judge some truly unwell neighbor holiday decor, and make an important announcement: we're taking a short break from the podcast, but we'll be back in the new year. Plus, we get into a James Bond jewel thief, and Quinta Brunson's field trip fund. Obviously we have to wrap up the year with some ranting and question why skydivers are scattering ashes… in the sky? Also what the even heck is up with the GPS screaming directions at full volume while we are posing at a public rest stop??

Resident doctors in England have begun five days of strike action after rejecting the government's latest offer to resolve a long-running dispute over pay and jobs. The health secretary, Wes Streeting, met the British Medical Association on Tuesday in a final attempt to reach an agreement, but they failed to agree a deal. It means that resident doctors – formerly known as junior doctors – will remain on strike until 7am on Monday.

Some hauntings drift in and out of a life. This one was there before she took her first breath. The night her mother went into labor, something began rolling across the ceiling of their top-floor apartment—heavy, deliberate, back and forth like a bowling ball in an attic that didn't exist. After she was born, the activity didn't stop. It evolved. Toys played on their own. Cabinets jolted inward. A musical hairbrush chimed without moving, as if shaken by an invisible hand. Then came the “miracles.” A crib base gives out, leaving only inches for a baby to fall through—yet she somehow crawls safely down the stairs. A blanket mysteriously rewraps her baby brother from head to toe, seconds from suffocating him—until her father wakes to a blinding white light that shouldn't be there. Years later, glass explodes above that same brother, yet shatters in a perfect circle around him while she's left standing in the shards. Protected… or claimed? Is it a guardian spirit, or something far more terrifying? #ghoststory #paranormal #haunting #realghoststories #creepy #supernatural #paranormalpodcast #shadowpeople #attachedspirit #guardianangelorhaunting #truehorrorstories #unexplained Love real ghost stories?
