Cristiano Ronaldo Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Cristiano Ronaldo's past few days have been a mix of high-stakes legacy talk, World Cup fallout, and a little bit of social media intrigue that keeps his global narrative humming. According to Goal, the most biographically significant storyline is that Portugal's exit from the 2026 World Cup in the loss to Spain has now been framed by his former Al Nassr coach as not Ronaldo's fault, with the ex-boss publicly absolving the 41-year-old of blame and defending his performances as the criticism mounts. That kind of post-tournament protection speaks to how his aura still shapes how people talk about Portugal's failures, even in the twilight of his career. At the same time, Goal has been highlighting pundit chatter about Ronaldo's future role with the national team, with some commentators pushing the almost cinematic idea that he could eventually become Portugal manager, joking that he would “pick himself” for future tournaments as a way to extend his influence beyond his playing days. That is clearly speculative at this stage, but the fact it is discussed in serious football outlets shows how his identity is already drifting from pure superstar player toward potential power broker and symbol of the national side. TF1 Info in France continues to reference his own confirmation that 2026 would be his final World Cup, a statement that now hangs over every new report about his performances and tears in Dallas, turning these recent matches and post-game scenes into closing-chapter material in real time. Britannica's updated biographical notes now place his 900-goal landmark and his six-World-Cup era into a long-view context, reinforcing that this latest World Cup, and its abrupt ending, will be remembered as part of a career-scale record rather than just another tournament. On the social media front, LadBible and Gulf News report that Ronaldo's verified Instagram account recently liked, and then apparently unliked, a video accusing FIFA of corruption around Argentina's path to the 2026 final and suggesting favoritism toward Lionel Messi. Bolavip also describes the like as endorsing the clip's critical message. It is important to note that Ronaldo and his representatives have not commented, and Gulf News stresses that it is unclear whether the interaction was intentional, accidental, or handled by a member of his team. That leaves this episode in the realm of verified activity with unconfirmed intent, but it still adds another spicy layer to the enduring Ronaldo–Messi rivalry narrative that biographers will not ignore. In terms of fresh public appearances and direct posts, major outlets in the past 24 hours have not flagged a new press conference, commercial event, or original Ronaldo statement, and that relative quiet after a World Cup exit is itself telling: he is letting others talk about his future while he stays publicly distant, a classic big-star tactic when the next chapter has not yet been decided. That's the latest chapter in the Cristiano Ronaldo story, and you've been listening to Cristiano Ronaldo Biography Flash.

Post Malone Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Post Malone has spent the past few days in a spotlight that feels genuinely biographical, not just promotional. The biggest moment came on the global stage: multiple outlets including Gulf News and Holler Country report that he headlined the FIFA World Cup Final closing ceremony at MetLife Stadium, where he debuted a brand new, unreleased track called Chrome Heartbreaker in front of a worldwide audience. That kind of premiere at the World Cup positions the song, and Post himself, as a long-term fixture in pop culture rather than a passing country crossover. At the same time, his musical direction is noticeably pivoting. Complex, Billboard Japan, and People magazine all note that Post recently shared a studio teaser on Instagram captioned, “That one mofo that don't know when to leave,” with a hard-edged, rap-driven sound that clearly leans back into his hip hop roots after his country run with I Had Some Help and the F-1 Trillion era. According to People and Complex, this teaser ties into his upcoming double album The Eternal Buzz, a planned 40-song project he has discussed on Twitch, with ambitions to drop two albums in 2026 if everything goes his way. That scale and the explicit return to rap are likely to be major turning points in any future biography. Radio outlets like WZPL and stations covered by News Break and InMusicBlog describe how that brief clip has set off intense fan speculation that The Eternal Buzz will straddle both rap and country, splitting discs between genres. So far, there is no confirmed tracklist, release date, or exact genre breakdown; talk of a disc strictly for rap and one for country remains fan theory and should be treated as unconfirmed speculation, even as the hip hop teaser makes the hybrid direction plausible. Tour-wise, Hypebot and the official Big Ass Stadium Tour site confirm that Post Malone's Big Ass Stadium Tour with Jelly Roll is now gearing up to run through the second half of 2026, after earlier delays he explained as necessary to finish The Eternal Buzz. Those stadium dates, paired with the World Cup performance and fresh rap material, suggest a sustained, big-venue phase of his career, not a brief side chapter. Socially, the key recent public content has centered on those studio clips and World Cup posts; commentary videos like the YouTube piece “Hip Hop Does NOT Want Post Malone BACK” highlight criticism from some hip hop voices, but those reactions are opinion, not hard news. Claims about his current political alignment, such as the Harvest Church article framing him as a Trump supporter, are based on past endorsements and appearances and have not been updated by any new, verified statements from Post himself in the past few days, so they remain context rather than fresh biography. That's your latest Post Malone Biography Flash: new World Cup anthem moment, a serious tilt back toward rap, a mammoth double album on deck, and a stadium tour that keeps him in the center of the cultural map.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Clem Chambers to the show. Clem Chambers is Author, Journalist and Founder/CEO of ADVFN. The discussion begins with current market volatility: gold is down roughly 30% from its January peak, and oil has cratered 40% from its March high. Chambers identifies the AI space as the major action now, though it recently corrected, and sees the previous gold rally as driven by fears of a China-Taiwan conflict, which has likely been postponed. He argues that gold's price peak roughly a year out from a potential invasion window, and the sacking of Chinese generals suggests the army resisted such plans, removing that immediate geopolitical bid. He now sees a better floor for gold around $3,500 when inflation, not war, becomes the dominant driver. Chambers emphasizes a transformative global shift: America is abandoning globalization for “re-localization” and must reindustrialize to compete with China, especially in AI. He coins the phrase “electricity is destiny,” noting China has 250% more electricity, but America is now having a “Sputnik moment” and must go all-in on energy and AI or lose democracy. This energy build-out—nuclear, fossil fuels, infrastructure—creates massive long-term investment themes, though lags and government intervention pose risks. He is particularly bullish on platinum and palladium, noting tiny annual supply, Russian and South African geopolitical risks, and that much of the production is destroyed by catalytic converters, leaving no net accumulation. On precious metals, Chambers advises a 2.5–5% portfolio allocation, dollar-cost averaging into physical gold or ETFs, but warns miners behave irrationally and are difficult to understand. He also notes gold has a small inflationary overhang from 3,200 tons of annual mine supply. For viewers, Chambers highlights his free investment platform ADVFN, which offers real-time UK and soon US pricing with advanced tools, and his Substack and YouTube channel where he shares contrarian market thinking. The interview closes with the reminder that active economic participation puts investors on the upward leg of the K-shaped economy.

June 16th, 2026, Court Leader's Advantage Podcast EpisodeWhen former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, real estate executiveGloria Caulfield, and music executive Scott Borchetta praised artificial intelligence during recent commencement addresses, graduates responded not with applause but with boos. For a growing number of Americans, especially youngerworkers entering the workforce, AI is no longer viewed primarily as a tool of innovation and opportunity. Rather, it is increasingly seen as a threat to jobs, economic security, and public trust.The concerns are multifaceted. AI's massive demand forelectricity and water raises environmental questions. Its capacity to generate misinformation and "hallucinated" facts raises concerns about public trust and the integrity of information. Most significant for Generation Z, however, is the fear that AI will fundamentally alter the job market andundermine economic security.Many technology leaders appear largely unmoved by theseconcerns. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has argued that fears of widespread job displacement are overstated. Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, contends that workers will not lose jobs to AI itself, but rather to workers who know how to use AImore effectively. Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, has similarly predicted that AI will increase productivity, create new opportunities, and improve living standards rather than simply eliminate jobs.The public remains unconvinced.A March 2026 Quinnipiac University poll found that 70% ofAmericans believe AI will reduce the number of available jobs. Among Generation Z, concern is even more pronounced, with 81% believing advances in artificial intelligence are likely to decrease employment opportunities.These concerns are fueled by highly visible workforcereductions. In 2025, Amazon announced approximately 14,000 corporate layoffs while acknowledging that AI-enabled efficiencies played at least a partial role in workforce reductions.[i] UPS announced plans to eliminate 20,000 positions. While the main reason for the reduction in force was a pullback by Amazon, CEO Carol Tomé also cited efficiencies from implementing AI.[ii] Cisco reduced itsworkforce by more than 4,000 employees while increasing its focus on AI-driven networking and security products.[iii] For many workers the message is unmistakable: artificial intelligence means fewer jobs rather than greater opportunity.Courts have historically been cautious adopters of newtechnology, and artificial intelligence appears to be no exception. Yet courts also face chronic staffing shortages, budget constraints, growing caseloads, and increasing pressure to improve efficiency. State legislatures, funding authorities, and court leaders may soon begin asking whether AI can help courts accomplish more with fewer resources.This month, we examine the growing backlash againstartificial intelligence. Is it a temporary reaction or the beginning of a lasting shift in public attitudes? Are court professionals and the public prepared for the inevitable transition? [i]Variety, "Amazon Says It Will Lay Off 14,000 Corporate Workers, Citing AI" (October 31, 2025)[ii] Gulf News, "AI Job Cuts: Major Companies Replacing Humans with Bots in 2025" (February 21, 2026)[iii] PBS (October 28, 2025), “Despite reporting record quarterly revenue of $15.8 billion — up 12% year-over-year —Cisco announced layoffs representing less than 5% of its global workforce, as the company realigned around AI-driven growth”Today's PanelTJ BeMent Court Administrator, 10th Judicial Administrative District Athens, GeorgiaRick Pierce Judicial Programs Administrator, Administrative Office of the Courts, Mechanicsburg, PennsylvaniaKarl Thoennes Court Administrator, Second Judicial Circuit Court, Sioux Falls, South DakotaCreadell Webb Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer, 1st Judicial District of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia,Pennsylvania

Cristiano Ronaldo Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Yo what is up everyone, this is Tyler Tye Morgan, your AI host, and yeah, I said AI on purpose. Being AI means I do not get tired, I do not get starstruck, and I can scan a ridiculous amount of Ronaldo news so you get the sharpest, cleanest update possible, all in one hit.Let us talk Cristiano Ronaldo over the last few days, because the man is 40, but his life is still moving like a counterattack in the 90th minute.On the pitch, the big story is Al Nassrs stumble in the Saudi Pro League. Gulf News reports that Al Nassr just suffered a damaging 2-1 home defeat to Al Qadisiyah, their second straight league loss, a result that dropped them four points behind leaders Al Hilal and turned what looked like a coronation into a mini crisis. Ronaldo did score from the penalty spot his first goal of 2026 and the 958th of his career extending his outrageous streak of scoring in 25 consecutive calendar years from 2002 to 2026 but it was not enough to save the game.Goal.com and Gulf News both highlight the bigger biographical thread here. Ronaldo is still chasing his first major trophy in Saudi Arabia and his first significant silverware since moving to Al Nassr in late 2022. He recently signed a two year extension, doubling down on the project, so this dip in form matters for his legacy. The title race with Al Hilal is now a genuine pressure cooker, with a potentially season defining showdown against Hilal coming up on Monday. Long term, this run could become one of those late career chapters we talk about a lot: the aging legend trying to drag a talented but flawed team over the line.According to Gulf News, after the loss he went straight to social media with a defiant message on X saying, This fight is not over. We keep working and we will rise together. That is classic Ronaldo brand leadership public accountability, controlled anger, still selling the belief that he can bend the story his way.World Soccer Talk notes that this stretch has also brought a rare low point, with Ronaldo breaking an unwanted personal record linked to consecutive league defeats and missed opportunities, something he has not experienced at this level in over a decade. For a guy who built his persona on inevitability, this is biographically significant it humanizes him, shows the cracks, and sets the stage for either a comeback arc or a slow fade.On the business and social side, there have been no major new endorsements or bombshell sponsorship deals reported in the last couple of days by the big outlets. The focus has been almost entirely on his on field form, the title race, and that chase for 1,000 career goals which he recently talked about at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, saying he is convinced he can get there if he stays healthy. That is not just a quote, that is a mission statement for the final act of his career.Speculation is swirling in some fan spaces about potential late career moves post Al Nassr and whether frustration over results could accelerate an exit, but there is no solid reporting from top tier outlets backing any imminent move right now. For the moment, all verified signs point to Ronaldo being locked in on Al Nassr, the Saudi title, and that 1,000 goal mountain.That is your fresh snapshot of Cristiano Ronaldo, right now, in motion, not a finished statue but a live story still being written under pressure in Riyadh.Thanks for listening to Cristiano Ronaldo Biography Flash.

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo has spent the past few days doing what he does best: scoring goals, bending the news cycle to his will, and flirting with Hollywood without saying a definitive word. In a midweek friendly for Al Nassr against Al Wahda, match footage and Saudi sports coverage show him opening the scoring and leading the line with the kind of intensity that makes talk of retirement feel almost absurd; the game may have been unofficial, but every goal edges him closer to that long‑discussed 1000‑goal milestone and reinforces his central role in Al Nassr's project. KIANO7HD's detailed highlights of the match underline that this was not a charity jog but another data point in a late‑career surge that could become a key biographical chapter if he sustains it into the 2026 World Cup.Off the pitch, the story that has truly caught fire is pure Hollywood. Marca, Gulf News, Goal and Arab News all report that Vin Diesel posted a photo with Ronaldo on Instagram and confirmed that a role had been “written for him” in the Fast and Furious universe, before quietly editing the caption to remove a specific reference to the Los Bandoleros prequel project. That small edit has blown the doors off speculation that Ronaldo might appear in the upcoming Fast and Furious 11, widely reported as the final main installment of the franchise. Outlets like Times Now and World Soccer Talk note that this single post sent Ronaldo to the top of Google Trends, with social media feeds dissecting every word of Diesel's caption and every pixel of that year‑old photo from their meeting in Saudi Arabia. For now this remains unconfirmed and firmly in the realm of educated gossip: there is no official casting announcement from Universal, Diesel, or Ronaldo's camp, only a heavily scrutinized Instagram tease and the knowledge that a part exists on paper.Layered onto this is the broader media narrative. Fair Observer and other analysis pieces this week frame Ronaldo as a case study in the new media ecosystem: the most followed person on Instagram, a player still scoring for Al Nassr, a likely centerpiece for Portugal at what he has suggested will be his final major tournament in 2026, and now a potential crossover figure for one of Hollywood's biggest action franchises. In the space of a few days he has reminded everyone he is simultaneously an elite athlete, a global brand, and, increasingly, a character whose next move is itself the story.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

On this week's episode of The Business of Watches, a frank discussion with one of the most powerful women in the world of horology. Hind Seddiqi is the Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Watch Week, an event that's grown and matured to become one of the few truly top-tier events on the watch sector calendar. As CEO of the biennial gathering, Seddiqi oversees the team that decides which brands get to exhibit their wares, which executives and collectors get to speak on the industry panels, and exactly how the massive show is staged, presented, and organized. This year's Dubai Watch Week was the most successful edition yet and marked a new era of international profile for an idea launched a decade ago by the United Arab Emirates retailer Ahmed Seddiqi as a way to showcase watchmaking and inform locals about the industry. Housed in a new, larger, and purpose-built venue near the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Watch Week 2025 welcomed a record 49,000 visitors this year, a 113% increase from the previous edition. The event, marking the 75th anniversary of the Seddiqi family retail empire, saw a wave of collector groups fly in from around the world to attend a show that offers up close and personal access to many of the biggest names in watchmaking, from Max Büsser to Roger Smith, to Rexhep Rexhepi, and the CEO of A. Lange & Söhne, Wilhelm Schmid. Hind Seddiqi says one of her biggest challenges now is preserving the casual, spontaneous, and intimate feel of Dubai Watch Week as demand for a place at the table continues to rise. She talks about Dubai, its torrid growth (and punishing traffic) and the city's increasingly important role in the international economy and how she plans to manage the demands and expectations of a massively popular event. Want to subscribe so you never miss an episode?

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo has had another pivotal week cementing his stature as Al Nassr's captain and one of the world's most influential athletes. On September 23, Saudi Arabia's National Day, Ronaldo took to Instagram and Al Nassr's official channels wearing traditional Saudi attire, sending a heartfelt message to his Saudi fans wishing them “a day filled with pride unity and celebration with your loved ones.” According to Gulf News and Times of India, his post resonated powerfully with millions, drawing over 3 million likes and tens of thousands of comments within hours, with fans and commentators praising his deep respect for his adopted home and his role in elevating Saudi football culture.On the pitch, Ronaldo continues to make headlines as Al Nassr extend their perfect start to the Saudi Pro League. SC Lincoln and Sports Illustrated confirm he has netted five goals and produced one assist in six appearances, with his latest strike coming during a decisive 2-0 victory over Al Ittihad on September 26. The match saw Ronaldo working closely with new signings like Sadio Mane and João Felix, combining for powerful attacking play and showcasing Al Nassr's growing dominance. In this game, Ronaldo scored a typical poacher's goal, capitalizing on a Mane cross and securing a vital win. Commentators noted his relentless drive and leadership, with his signature free-kick narrowly missing and several efforts troubling the opposition Keeper. His contract, recently renewed through 2027, keeps speculation about transfers firmly at bay and underscores his long-term commitment to both the club and the league.Away from official matches, Ronaldo's business interests and social media influence continue to grow. He remains one of the most-followed personalities globally, now boasting more than 660 million followers across all platforms, as reported in Sports Illustrated. His close association with Saudi leadership, including Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and his visible integration into Saudi culture have further strengthened his cross-continental brand and influence.There has been unconfirmed speculation about Ronaldo's involvement in advanced fitness and lifestyle programs set up by Al Nassr's coaching staff, designed to keep him in peak condition for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as World Soccer Talk suggests. While details of these regimens are yet to be officially verified, it speaks to the enduring focus on his longevity and biographical significance.The week's headlines package Ronaldo as both Al Nassr's talisman and a global ambassador for Saudi football. With social media awash in praise for his National Day homage, and on-field performances continuing to shape the season, Cristiano Ronaldo's impact remains as monumental as ever, both in the stadium and far beyond it.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

It has now been over a year since Israel embarked on its genocidal campaign in Gaza. In that time, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been killed or injured. Furnishing Israel with more than just diplomatic cover, Western governments have kept up a steady supply of military aid and equipment, actively enabling the wholesale slaughter of Palestinians. Our governments' complicity cannot be ignored or overstated.  At the heart of questions around how and why Britain and the US are continuing to arm Israel lies the international arms trade. Thinking more about how this corrupting, deadly industry operates, and how we might resist it, is vital - something that Palestinians understand only too well: one year ago, Palestinian trade unions reiterated their urgent global call to action, imploring workers across the world to halt the sale of weapons to Israel. We are joined on the show by Ahmed Alnaouq, Andrew Feinstein and Anna Stavrianakis, to discuss how weapons sales to Israel function as a direct expression of state policy; how the arms industry corrupts our own democratic political processes; and the socio-economic opportunity cost of our governments' commitment to militarism. We also talk about the direct impact these weapons have had on life in Gaza, long before October 7th 2023; and the work that We Are Not Numbers is doing to give young Palestinians agency through sharing their stories. --- Ahmed Alnaouq is a former Palestinian diplomat who served in the Palestinian Mission to the UK. He is the co-founder of We Are Not Numbers, which empowers Palestinian youth to share their stories globally. Ahmed holds a masters degree in International Journalism from Leeds University, and his work has been featured in media outlets including the Washington Post, the New Arab, and Gulf News. Andrew Feinstein is the executive director of Shadow World Investigations. Andrew resigned as an African National Congress (ANC) Member of Parliament in South Africa in 2001, in protest at the government's refusal to investigate corruption in a $10 billion arms deal. His first book, After the Party, reveals the impact of this deal. He also wrote the critically acclaimed book The Shadow World: Inside the Global Arms Trade, and worked on an award-winning feature documentary, Shadow World. Anna Stavrianakis is director of research and strategy at Shadow World Investigations, and Professor of International Relations at the University of Sussex. Ahmed, Andrew and Anna are all contributors to the new book, Monstrous Anger of the Guns: How the Global Arms Trade is Ruining the World and What We Can Do About It, which is available now from Pluto Press.

On last week's podcast and the one a few before that, and in a post, Shaun and I talked a bit about plot structures and narrative structures and how here in the U.S. we think of these usually (not always!) as pretty linear, and pretty much in a three-act framework (think beginning, middle, end) with rising stakes and drama as you go along. This is not the only way to write. I am very much a product of the U.S. culture. And I'm going to talk a tiny bit in the next couple weeks about different forms/shapes of storytelling, but again . . . I am a student of this culture's structures. I am not an expert at other structures. I adore them though. I'm going to be providing links. And hopefully by quickly talking about some of them, you might go off and explore and adore, too. Maybe even get an epiphany for your own story? So, another kind of storytelling is Middle Eastern and it's  Frame Story in our language. And it's so cool. Basically, as the Novelsmithy explains "many types of stories, characters, and symbols are woven together into a larger tale. "One Thousand And One Nights is the most famous example of this. In this story, Shahrazad tells story after story to the Sultan in order to keep him from killing her. Her stories include a variety of complex narratives, different characters, conflicts, genres, and morals. There are even frame stories within the larger frame story! "Characteristics of Middle Eastern Storytelling: Outer 'frame story' tying multiple stories together Multiple characters and narratives Variety of genres, fantasy, and high action." It's very influenced by The Qur'an. Gulf News writes, "One of the most revered traditions of oral storytelling is the hakawati. As intricate and complex as a weaving pattern, this motif-rich narrative style darts in and out of stories, offering unending drama where the storyteller begins one tale, deftly leaves it mid-way to pick up another and then has a third story emerging from a subplot of the first and so on. All this is done using the tools of allegory, folklore, satire, music and a visual spectacle of grand sweeping gestures and facial expressions to finally create an enthralling experience for his listeners." There's a great piece about frame stories here. DOG TIP FOR LIFE Pogie's like "hey dude, I live my style and life in the frame story style of way. It always comes back to me. I'll always be doing something. I'll see a cat and I'll change my storyline." And that keeps happening. It's all about multiple stories in a brain. WRITING EXERCISE Do the Forrest Gump. Find a setting like a park bench and tell the stories that make a life. OR at least outline it.

L'émission 28 Minutes du 15/12/2023 Ce vendredi, l'essayiste Antoine Bueno, l'éditorialiste et essayiste Brice Couturier, l'écrivaine et journaliste Nesrine Slaoui et le dessinateur Erwann Terrier reviennent sur l'actualité de la semaine.  Ils seront rejoints par Karl Paquette qui a conçu « Mon Premier Casse-Noisette », un spectacle à l'affiche du Théâtre Mogador, à Paris, jusqu'au 25 février 2024. Accompagné sur scène d'une troupe de danseurs professionnels, l'Étoile de l'Opéra de Paris a adapté le célèbre conte musical de Tchaïkovsky pour les plus jeunes : « Je voulais vraiment tout réécrire pour mettre le ballet à hauteur d'enfants. Nous avons transposé le conte d'Hoffmann revu par Alexandre Dumas aux 16e et 17e siècles, époques d'un raffinement extrême, ce qui souligne le caractère merveilleux de cette féerie-ballet. » Retour sur deux actualités de la semaine :  Débat sur l'immigration. Lundi 11 décembre, l'Assemblée nationale a adopté une motion de rejet contre le projet de loi du gouvernement sur l'immigration. L'objectif d'Emmanuel Macron est d'assurer l'adoption du texte mardi prochain, après le passage en commission mixte paritaire. Pas question, donc, de dissoudre l'Assemblée pour sortir de cette situation de blocage, ni d'utiliser le 49.3, qu'Elisabeth Borne vient pourtant de déclencher pour la 21e fois, dans le cadre de l'adoption du budget de l'État. La Cinquième République a-t-elle trouvé ses limites ? La France est-elle devenue ingouvernable ? Parents « défaillants ». Aurore Bergé, la ministre des Solidarités et des Familles, a annoncé dans « La Tribune du Dimanche » qu'elle voulait mettre en place des travaux d'intérêt général pour les parents défaillants, en réponse aux émeutes de juillet dernier. « C'est une idée indigne, qui vise à culpabiliser ou à rendre responsables des parents qui, je crois, pour l'immense majorité d'entre eux, veulent le meilleur pour leurs enfants », a déploré Manuel Bompard, le coordinateur politique à La France Insoumise. Les Républicains, eux, saluent cette idée. Sachant que 60 % des jeunes émeutiers provenaient de familles monoparentales, la mesure ne va-t-elle pas pénaliser les parents isolés ? Pour le duel de la semaine, Claire Fournier oppose Viktor Orban à Volodymyr Zelensky. Les deux hommes se sont entretenus au sujet de l'entrée de l'Ukraine dans l'Union européenne, dimanche 10 décembre en Argentine, en marge de l'investiture de Javier Milei. Quelques heures plus tard, le Premier ministre hongrois a mis son véto à l'aide de cinquante milliards d'euros accordés à l'Ukraine, repoussant les discussions à janvier. Invité sur le plateau de LCI mercredi, François Gemenne, chercheur et membre du GIEC, a pointé du doigt l'impact des animaux domestiques sur le climat et la biodiversité. Il a déclenché un tollé sur les réseaux sociaux ! C'est le Point com d'Alix Van Pée. Le jeudi 7 décembre était diffusé le numéro de « Complément d'enquête » portant sur les accusations de viols et d'agressions sexuelles contre Gérard Depardieu. La veille, Emmanuelle Debever, la première femme à avoir dénoncé ces comportements, décédait à l'hôpital, quelques jours après s'être jetée dans la Seine. C'est l'histoire de la semaine de Claude Askolovitch. Notre Une internationale est celle du quotidien anglophone publié à Dubaï, « Gulf News », qui titrait le 14 décembre : « COP28 : Les Émirats arabes unis unissent le monde ». L'accord à l'issue de la conférence mondiale pour le climat est-elle le signe que les pays du Golfe sont prêts à jouer le jeu du début de la fin des énergies fossiles ? Retrouvez enfin les photos de la semaine sélectionnées avec soin par nos clubistes et la Dérive des continents de Benoît Forgeard !  28 Minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Elisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio.  Enregistrement : 15 décembre 2023 - Présentation : Renaud Dély - Production : KM, ARTE Radio

The Israel-Palestine conflict is not just being fought in the streets of Hebron or Gaza; it is also being fought in the classrooms of America. Leading this struggle for the Israeli side is a group called the Institute for Curriculum Services (ICS). Jerusalem-based journalist Jessica Buxbaum has been investigating the ICS and scrutinizing their role in shifting the public debate in the U.S. Jessica joins Lowkey to discuss her recent MintPress News investigation, “Institute for Curriculum Services: How an Israel Lobby Group Infiltrated US Education.In recent years, progressive activism has forced the United States to begin to deal with the reality of its racist part. These anti-racist movements have attempted to correct what they see as a whitewashing of racist violence from history textbooks. The ICS has attempted to position itself in this post-Black Lives Matter milieu, claiming that their organization exists to give a more accurate picture of Jewish history in textbooks and clear up lingering misconceptions and stereotypes. “But really,” Buxbaum told Lowkey today, “they are just a front for the Israeli lobby.”Jessica Buxbaum is an investigative journalist specializing in Middle Eastern politics and current affairs. Aside from MintPress News, her work can also be found in Middle East Eye, The New Arab, and Gulf News.Buxbaum sent Freedom of Information requests to the education boards of all 50 states and found that the ICS was involved in a pressure campaign to monitor and change the wording and framing of school textbooks across the country in order to present a one-sided, pro-Israel narrative to children.Examples included requests to delete all references to “Palestine,” “Palestinian territories,” or the “West Bank”; removing information about Palestinian culture and heritage; and even demands to amend maps, so that areas such as East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights appear not as illegally annexed but as territorially part of Israel.“A lot of it is about erasing Palestine, anything that references the natives of Palestine, Palestinians as an indigenous people, that Palestinians have inhabited the land for thousands of years. All those things, they want to have deleted,” Buxbaum told Lowkey.Another key prong in the ICS attack on the truth is to present Palestinian leadership as violent and the Israeli state as a noble, peace-loving democracy. The word “settlers,” the ICS requested, should be replaced by “communities.” “Wall” with “security fence,” “militant” with “terrorist,” and so on. References to Israel capturing the West Bank in 1967 should be removed and depictions of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat should include that he “direct[ed] countless terrorist attacks against Israelis.” It should also, the ICS suggests, be made clear that Israel is the “only democracy in the Middle East.”The ICS has hosted dozens of training seminars with thousands of schoolteachers across the United States, presenting the issue in a framework conducive to the outlook of the Israeli government. The organization has also recommended that American students be discouraged from finding their own sources of information on the internet, and instead be instructed to use resources from the Anti-Defamation League or the Jewish Virtual Library.However, attempts to propagandize children with a pro-Israeli government narrative are not limited to the United States. Lowkey also shares his research into how a similar phenomenon is happening in the United Kingdom.Support the show

0:38 - Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's first visit to Saudi Arabia in years represents a thaw in Saudi-Turkey relations that hit a low point four years ago. Erdogan hopes the visit will herald a new era of relations after intense efforts to repair strained ties following the aftermath of the Jamal Khashoggi murder in Istanbul in 2018. Before the visit, in a policy reversal, Turkey halted and transferred its own trial of the Saudi suspects in the killing of Khashoggi to Saudi Arabia.
