Send us a textGUEST: SOEREN KERN, geopolitical analystPresident Trump just returned from his first overseas trip of his second term. Where a president chooses to visit first is a signal of his priorities. That President Trump went to the Middle East and three Arab/Muslim countries—Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates (UAE)—speaks loudly about Trump's hope to bring peace and prosperity to the Middle East. Interestingly, Trump did not visit Israel, even though he was in the region.Trillions of dollars in investments by Arab countries to American businesses were negotiated. Trump met with sketchy leaders like Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, who oddly gifted the U.S. a Boeing 747. Trump gave a major policy speech outlining his vision for the Middle East, which would have Saudi Arabia signing the Abraham Accords, a treaty normalizing relations between Arab nations and Israel. Meanwhile, Islamist Iran looms in the region, trying desperately to develop nuclear weapons.How to interpret all that took place? Christian geopolitical analyst Soeren Kern will join us this weekend on The Christian Worldview Radio Program to survey the many facets of President Trump's trip and how it will impact America and our longtime ally Israel. Soeren will also discuss the upcoming U.N. Palestine Summit June 17-20 in New York, which aims to “Take Irreversible Action Towards Implementing a Two-State Solution.” These are some of the subjects Soeren will be addressing in more detail in the June 2025 issue of The Christian Worldview Journal monthly print publication that is sent to all Christian Worldview Partners.Is God close to enacting His end times plan of snatching away His church and allowing the antichrist to deceive the nations and persecute Israel before Christ's return? We don't know God's timing but we'd better be alert and ready.

La semana pasada Donald Trump realizó la primera gira internacional de su segundo mandato. Visitó Arabia Saudí, Qatar y los Emiratos Árabes Unidos. Este viaje, centrado en acuerdos comerciales y asuntos geopolíticos de primer nivel como la cuestión de Siria, supone un punto de inflexión en tanto que Trump se mostró dispuesto a dialogar. Algo llamativo ya que, al menos en este ámbito, su postura es realista y libre de los maximalismos de su primer trimestre en el cargo. De forma un tanto sorprendente dejó a Israel en un segundo plano. Lo que no fue sorprendente en absoluto fue su silencio por el respeto a los derechos humanos en aquella región, pero eso ya estaba previsto y es coherente con lo que ya hizo en su primer mandato. El periplo comenzó en Riad, donde Trump fue recibido por el príncipe heredero Mohammed bin Salman. Arabia Saudí comprometió 600.000 millones de dólares en inversiones en EEUU enfocadas en defensa, tecnología y energía. Un foro de inversión reunió a líderes empresariales como Larry Fink de BlackRock y Jane Fraser de Citigroup, subrayando la importancia que el presidente dio al apartado económico de la gira. En Riad se reunió con el presidente interino sirio, Ahmed al-Sharaa, en un encuentro histórico. Anunció el levantamiento de sanciones a Siria para impulsar su estabilización tras la caída de Bashar al-Assad. Esta decisión, respaldada por Arabia Saudí y Qatar, fue elogiada por las cancillerías europeas, pero criticada por Israel, que considera a al-Sharaa un exyihadista. En Doha Trump fue agasajado por el emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. Qatar firmó acuerdos por 243.000 millones de dólares que incluyen la adquisición de más de 200 aviones Boeing. Desde la base aérea Al Udeid, la mayor instalación militar estadounidense en Oriente Medio, Trump reiteró su prioridad de “terminar conflictos, no iniciarlos”, aunque advirtió que no dudaría en usar el poder militar si fuera necesario. Propuso una “zona de libertad” en Gaza, un concepto vago que ha generado infinidad de especulaciones, pero evitó hablar de la guerra aún en curso en la franja. La gira culminó en Abu Dabi, donde el Gobierno de los Emiratos anunció una inversión de 440.000 millones de dólares en el sector energético estadounidense a lo largo de la próxima década. Trump visitó la Gran Mezquita y la Casa de la Familia Abrahámica tratando de proyectar una imagen de cooperación cultural. Poco antes, en su discurso en Riad, condenó el intervencionismo estadounidense del pasado, y eso fue bien recibido entre los líderes políticos del golfo Pérsico, pero alarmó a defensores de los derechos humanos. Un aspecto notable fue la exclusión de Israel del itinerario, lo que revela que hay tensiones latentes con su primer ministro, Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump ignoró las objeciones israelíes para levantar las sanciones a Siria y negociar con Hamás con el objetivo de liberar al rehén estadounidense Edan Alexander. Todo de forma directa y dejando a un lado a los israelíes. Además, avanzó que quiere reiniciar las conversaciones nucleares con Irán mediadas por Omán, lo que ha provocado nuevas fricciones con Israel, que teme un acuerdo favorable a Teherán. La gira, salteada por una serie de aciertos, supone el regreso al pragmatismo que caracterizó a su primer mandato, más centrado en la estabilidad económica que en decisiones rupturistas y problemáticas como la guerra comercial contra todo el mundo.

Expressing gratitude and admiration for a recent trip made by President Trump to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Highlight the warm reception Trump received from Arab leaders, including King Salman, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, interpreting it as a significant step toward peace and cultural understanding. Contrast this with negative views from mainstream media, which is biased, and suggesting following X or Trump's social media for accurate news.Presidential order on prescription drug pricing, crediting Trump for progress where Congress has been inactive. Share personal anecdotes, including cooking experiences (e.g., shrimp PoBoys and Lava Cake) and the childhood in Indonesia, where positive interactions were had with Muslim communities, challenging stereotypes about Islam. Expressions of hope that Trump's approach could end longstanding Middle East conflicts and foster global harmony, emphasizing respect for diverse cultures.Additionally, criticisms of former FBI Director James Comey, alleging he made a coded threat against Trump via a social media post about seashells, and call for his imprisonment and public trial if convicted. Ends with reflection on loving the U.S. and optimism about a “golden age” for humanity under Trump's leadership.

Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today’s episode. US President Donald Trump is still in the region and is visiting the United Arab Emirates today. After landmark deals in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, we discuss what may come out of the UAE trip — and the entire trip’s resonance for Israel, including Trump’s new relationship with Syria. We begin by discussing a half-hour meetup in Riyadh with Syria’s President Ahmed al-Sharaa. Trump announced the US was lifting sanctions on the country the previous day and urged Syria to join the Abraham Accords normalizing relations with Israel. It was the first encounter between leaders of the countries in 25 years. We hear how Israel views this budding relationship. In Qatar, Trump signed an agreement with Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani that will “generate an economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion,” the White House said. The announcement came as negotiations kicked off in Doha over a potential hostage-ceasefire deal with the Hamas terror group. Horovitz describes how Israel was not apart of the Trump visit, yet Israeli representatives are currently in the country in a renewed US push to negotiate an end to the war. To end the program, we speak about Israel’s approaching participation in tonight’s Eurovision semifinal. Horovitz describes the antipathy already experienced by Yuval Raphael, Israel’s 2025 contestant, who survived the Nova festival massacre on October 7, 2023.

Agreements signed by U.S. President Donald Trump and Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani on Wednesday will "generate an economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion," the White House said in a fact sheet summarizing some of the deals' details. The agreements include a $96 billion deal with Qatar Airways to buy up to 210 Boeing 787 Dreamliner and 777X airplanes with GE Aerospace engines, the fact sheet said.It was markup day for the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee on May 13—one day after Republicans released the full text of their long-awaited tax legislation—as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle engaged in testy exchanges.

UN calls on Israel to lift 'brutal blockade' of humanitarian aid to Gaza The UN has called on Israel to lift its blockade of humanitarian aid delivery into Gaza, saying blocking the desperately needed aid inflicts a "cruel collective punishment". Tom Fletcher, the UN relief chief, said that: "International law is unequivocal: As the occupying power, Israel must allow humanitarian support in. Aid, and the civilian lives it saves, should never be a bargaining chip." Fletcher also said: "The humanitarian movement is independent, impartial and neutral. We believe that all civilians are equally worthy of protection," underlining that they remain ready to save as many lives as they can, despite the risks." US urges India to avoid broader conflict after Kashmir attack US Vice President JD Vance has said that Washington hopes that India's response to the recent attack in India-administered Kashmir does not lead to a broader regional conflict. Vance said that Washington hoped Pakistan would cooperate with India to hunt down those responsible for the attack. He said that: "Pakistan, to the extent that they're responsible, cooperates with India to make sure that the terrorists sometimes operating in their territory are hunted down and dealt with. That's how we hope this unfolds. We're obviously in close contact. We'll see what happens." Deadly drone attack in Kherson, Moscow blames Kiev A Ukrainian drone strike on a market area in the Russian-controlled part of Ukraine's Kherson region killed at least seven people and wounded over 20 others, the Moscow-installed governor said. Vladimir Saldo, the region's Russian-backed governor, accused Ukrainian forces of carrying out the strike in a crowded market district in the city of Oleshky. Russia's Foreign Ministry issued a statement calling the incident a “terrorist” act and accused Ukraine of escalating the war while sabotaging diplomatic efforts. Pakistan ups diplomacy amid tensions with India Pakistani leaders doubled diplomatic efforts amid tensions with India following a deadly attack in India-administered Kashmir, according to a statement from the prime minister's office in Islamabad. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif told Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani that Pakistan condemned terrorism in all forms and manifestations, reiterating his offer for a credible, transparent and neutral international investigation into the Pahalgam attack. Sharif also met with Chinese Ambassador Jiang Zaidong in Islamabad, where the two discussed the situation in the region, thanking to China for its strong and steadfast support to Pakistan in the prevailing situation in South Asia. High technology, AI key to new world, says TEKNOFEST head The head of Türkiye's premier technology event, TEKNOFEST, highlighted that high technology and artificial intelligence (AI) are the keys to the new world, stressing that AI, when combined with the right purpose and ethical values, can provide humanity with a much better future. Selcuk Bayraktar, speaking at the opening ceremony of TEKNOFEST, emphasised that AI can enable groundbreaking innovations in health, equal educational opportunity, and countless opportunities that will make life easier. He also underscored that the country should be a global centre of attraction for technology and science in the heart of the Mediterranean.

The Princess of Wales was part of the official welcoming party for Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and the first of his three wives, Sheikha Jawaher, for this week's state visit - but it was Queen Camilla who joined the banquet festivities.

Kate Middleton is set to take on her most significant royal duty since completing chemotherapy treatment earlier this year. Buckingham Palace has confirmed her participation in the state visit of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and his first wife, Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al Thani, next week.Our Royal Insider Deep Crown has been observing that all of Kate's appearances have been controlled events.  Deep Crown tells Palace Intrigue, “The carefully structured nature of this appearance - a highly formal state visit with clear protocols and predictable photo opportunities - fits perfectly into what appears to be a strategy of controlled,choreographed engagements for Kate. Particularly notable is the specific clarification that she won't attend the evening state banquet - this kind of advance limitation of duties suggests the Palace is being extremely selective about her exposure and energy expenditure. The combination of the formal daytime ceremonies (where she can be photographed looking well in a structured setting) with a clear boundary around evening commitments shows how meticulously they're managing both her recovery and public perception.This ties into a broader pattern we've seen with her limited recent appearances, such as the Remembrance events, which were similarly formal and controlled in nature”Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan will find themselves on opposite sides of the United States as they both make high-profile appearances. On Wednesday, December 4, Meghan is expected to attend a glamorous Hollywood event in Beverly Hills, celebrating her friend Tyler Perry, who is being honoured with The Paley Honors Award. Both Harry and Meghan are listed on the hosting committee for the evening, but Harry won't be in attendance.Instead, Prince Harry will be in New York City, where he's scheduled to speak at The New York Times DealBook Conference. While the couple has become known for their unified front, their separate commitments next week underscore their individual endeavors on opposite coasts.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Die Amerikaanse minister van buitelandse sake, Antony Blinken, het met Katar se Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani vergader as deel van 'n toer deur die streek waarin hy gefokus het op besprekings om die konflikte in die Gaza-strook en Libanon te beëindig. Hy het met die media gepraat.

EU and Gulf leaders are meeting on Wednesday (16 October) in Brussels in a first-ever summit between the two regions. Co-chaired by outgoing European Council President Charles Michel and Qatar's Emir H.H. Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the meeting follows the launch of a strategic partnership in 2022.But mutual concerns remain. The EU sees the Gulf as a key energy partner in reducing its dependence on Russian energy. Yet, the Gulf's ties with Moscow make this partnership challenging. For their part, Gulf countries are concerned about the EU's inconsistent stance on Gaza as the conflict expands. Can both sides overcome these issues to deepen their diplomatic and energy partnership?To answer this question, host Evi Kiorri spoke with Camille Lons, policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations and Cinzia Bianco, visiting fellow at the same think tank.

Gaza: dháréag Palaistíneach maraithe in ionsaí ar scoil. The authorities in Gaza say that at least twelve people were killed and fifteen people were injured when the Israeli air force fired a missile at a school in Gaza City this morning. Deir na húdaráis in Gaza gur maraíodh dháréag ar a laghad agus gur gortaíodh cúig dhuine dhéag nuair a scaoil aerfhórsa Iosrael diúracán le scoil i gCathair Gaza ar maidin inniu. Thousands of people were sheltered in the school, according to the local civil defense. Bhí na mílte duine ar foscadh sa scoil, dar le cosaint shibhialta na háite. The Israelis say that a Hamas command center was based in the school and that is where the missile was aimed. Deir na hIosraelaigh go raibh ionad ceannais de chuid Hamas bunaithe sa scoil agus gur air sin a bhí an diúracán dírithe. It is said that almost 100 people were killed when the Israelis attacked another school in Gaza City ten days ago. Deirtear gur maraíodh beagnach 100 duine nuair rinne na hIosraelaigh ionsai ar scoil eile i gCathair Gaza deich lá ó shin. The Israelis also claimed at the time that the attack was aimed at Hamas. Mhaígh na hIosraelaigh an t-am sin freisin gur ar lucht Hamas a bhí an t-ionsaí dírithe. Other schools in Gaza have been attacked by the Israelis for several weeks. Tá scoileanna eile in Gaza ionsaithe ag na hIosraelaigh le roinnt seachtainí leis. The Israelis revealed today that they had found the bodies of six Israeli hostages in the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Thug na hIosraelaigh le fios inniu go raibh coirp sheisear giall Iosraelacha faighte acu i gcathair Khan Younis i ndeisceart Gaza. It was already known that five of the six had died. Bhí a fhios cheana go raibh cúigear den seisear básaithe. Over 100 hostages are still being held by Hamas since they launched a major attack on southern Israel on October 7 last year. Tá os cionn 100 giall fós á gcoinneáil ag Hamas ó rinne siad mórionsaí ar dheisceart Iosrael ar an 7 Deireadh Fómhair anuraidh. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al- Sisi held talks in Cairo this morning regarding a ceasefire in Gaza.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Today is day 162 of the war with Hamas. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. This morning US and Jordanian aircraft dropped food supplies to Palestinian civilians trapped in the Gaza Strip in a joint humanitarian aid operation and the World Central Kitchen NGO has finished unloading its first maritime aid shipment, in a test run for a new aid route by sea from Cyprus. Magid explains what we know so far. Magid spoke with a few officials this week who told him that Qatar's Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani proposed expelling Hamas's leaders from Doha during a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken days after the terror group's October 7 onslaught. How was this proposal made — and why was it rebuffed? US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday called on Israel to hold new elections, saying he believed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had “lost his way” and was an obstacle to peace in the region. What was the context for his comments and how were they received both in the US and in Israel? For the latest updates, please review The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog.

France and Qatar have sealed a strategic partnership under which Qatar has agreed to channel 1$10.85 billion into start-ups and investment funds in France between 2024 and 2030, the French presidency said in a statement. Both sides sealed the agreement as Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani started his two-day visit in France, the first state visit since his accession to the throne in 2013. How will the Qatari investment benefit Europe's second-biggest economy? And what does this strategic partnership mean for the future of their bilateral relations?

L'émission 28 Minutes du 28/02/2024 Hervé Le Corre, le maître du roman noir, nous entraîne dans un futur infernal  « Fonctionnaire, je suis resté attaché à la ville où je suis né. [...] Je n'ai pas un destin d'aventurier, ni fait trente-six métiers. » Fils d'un ajusteur et d'une femme de ménage — aussi bénévole auprès des exilés et militante pour la contraception dans les années 1970 — Hervé Le Corre découvre la littérature à dix-sept ans en lisant Gabriel García Márquez. Il décide alors de se servir de l'écriture pour « fixer [ses] vertiges, comme disait Rimbaud ». Publié en 2005, « L'homme aux lèvres de saphir » — l'histoire d'un meurtrier qui, au printemps 1870, reproduit les crimes de « Maldoror » du comte de Lautréamont — est son premier grand succès. Aujourd'hui devenu l'un des grands noms du roman noir, dans la lignée du maitre du genre Jean-Patrick Manchette, Hervé Le Corre signe son premier roman d'anticipation, « Qui après nous vivrez » aux éditions Rivages. L'histoire de quatre générations de femmes, du 19e siècle à l'année 2120, plongées dans le chaos du monde et confrontées à la brutalité des hommes. Il est notre invité. Le Qatar : de moins en moins petit, de plus en plus incontournable ?  Dix milliards d'euros : c'est la somme que le Qatar s'engage à investir dans l'économie française à l'horizon 2030. Transition énergétique, intelligence artificielle, industrie culturelle… Mais aussi conflit entre Israël et le Hamas : les sujets évoqués entre l'émir qatari et Emmanuel Macron sont nombreux. Arrivé mardi 27 février, Tamim ben Hamad Al Thani effectue sa première visite en France depuis son accession au trône en 2013. Et pour cause : pays aussi petit que le département de la Gironde, le Qatar est pourtant de plus en plus grand sur la scène diplomatique. La crise au Proche-Orient en est la parfaite illustration : décisif lors du premier cessez-le-feu entre Israël et le Hamas en novembre dernier — qui a permis de libérer quatre-vingt otages israéliens et 240 prisonniers palestiniens — le Qatar tente une nouvelle fois, avec les États-Unis, l'Égypte et Israël, de négocier un autre accord. En parallèle, le Hamas a aussi établi son siège à Doha, la capitale du pays. Alors soupçonné d'entretenir l'islam radical, comment traduire l'ambiguïté de l'émir qatari ? Comment ce pays de la péninsule arabique a-t-il réussi à devenir aussi central ? Nos invités en débattent. Enfin, retrouvez également les chroniques de Xavier Mauduit et Marie Bonnisseau !  28 Minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Elisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

L'émission 28 Minutes du 28/02/2024 Le Qatar : de moins en moins petit, de plus en plus incontournable ?  Dix milliards d'euros : c'est la somme que le Qatar s'engage à investir dans l'économie française à l'horizon 2030. Transition énergétique, intelligence artificielle, industrie culturelle… Mais aussi conflit entre Israël et le Hamas : les sujets évoqués entre l'émir qatari et Emmanuel Macron sont nombreux. Arrivé mardi 27 février, Tamim ben Hamad Al Thani effectue sa première visite en France depuis son accession au trône en 2013. Et pour cause : pays aussi petit que le département de la Gironde, le Qatar est pourtant de plus en plus grand sur la scène diplomatique. La crise au Proche-Orient en est la parfaite illustration : décisif lors du premier cessez-le-feu entre Israël et le Hamas en novembre dernier — qui a permis de libérer quatre-vingt otages israéliens et 240 prisonniers palestiniens — le Qatar tente une nouvelle fois, avec les États-Unis, l'Égypte et Israël, de négocier un autre accord. En parallèle, le Hamas a aussi établi son siège à Doha, la capitale du pays. Alors soupçonné d'entretenir l'islam radical, comment traduire l'ambiguïté de l'émir qatari ? Comment ce pays de la péninsule arabique a-t-il réussi à devenir aussi central ? Nos invités en débattent.  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.

durée : 00:02:23 - Le monde est à nous - L'émir du Qatar, Tamim ben Hamad Al-Thani, est en France pour une visite d'État de deux jours. Au cœur des discussions : une nouvelle trêve à Gaza pour la libération des otages.

This week brought good news- 7 of 8 released Indians, former naval personnel returned to their families, as the Amir of Qatar decided to free the men. The outcome, that followed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's personal intervention in December with his counterpart Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, was a big relief for the families and a big success for Indian diplomacy, and PM Modi, who was visiting the UAE this week made a previously unannounced visit to Qatar, to express his gratitude.

This is the Catch Up on 3 Things for the Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.It's the 16th of February and here are the top stories of the week.A five-judge bench of the Supreme Court gave its verdict on the legality of the electoral bonds scheme on Thursday, holding it “unconstitutional”. Prioritising voters' right to information regarding political parties' sources of funding, the Supreme Court struck down the EBS. Introduced by the Centre in 2018, EBS allowed individuals and corporations to anonymously fund political parties by purchasing electoral bonds from the State Bank of India.The Dilli Chalo march of the protesting farmers of Punjab and Haryana has been making headlines this week. While chaos ensued during the march on Wednesday, security personnel fired tear gas shells to disperse the crowds. Delhi's borders were further fortified, with security personnel deployed in large numbers and barricades laid out across all possible entry points. Farmers staged ‘rail roko' at several locations across Punjab on Thursday.Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the World Governments Summit, inaugurated Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan temple,UAE's first Hindu stone temple and addressed a diaspora event on a two-day UAE trip this week. Post that, he visited Doha where he was accorded a ceremonial welcome and also held a bilateral meeting with Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamin bin Hamad Al Thani on Thursday.Prior to the PM's visit, Qatar freed 8 ex-Indian Navy men jailed on espionage charges. Three months after they were sentenced to death, seven out of the eight former Indian Navy personnel were released from Qatar's custody and brought back to India. While seven sailors returned to India early Monday morning, Commander Purnendu Tiwari, whose death sentence was commuted but still received the harshest punishment of a 25-year life term, hasn't returned yet. He, too, is expected to be back in India soon.With the deadline to submit nomination papers for the February 27 Rajya Sabha elections over on Thursday, the BJP and Congress released their official list of candidates for the polls. Among the 28 names announced by the saffron party – the same as the number of seats held by it currently – 24 are new, with only four repeated. The Congress's current strength in the Upper House is 30, which will remain the same after the February 27 elections, with the party hoping to win 10 seats amid an equal number of its retiring MPs.This was the Catch-Up on the 3 Things by The Indian Express.

This is the Catch Up on 3 Things for the Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.It's the 15th of February and here are the headlines.The Supreme Court today held the changes made in the law to introduce the electoral bonds scheme as unconstitutional, in a unanimous verdict on a batch of pleas challenging the legal validity of the Centre's scheme which allowed for anonymous funding to political parties. A five-judge Constitution Bench presided by CJI D Y Chandrachud also directed that “the issuing bank shall herewith stop the issuance of electoral bonds” and asked the State Bank of India to “submit details of the electoral bonds purchased since the interim order of the court dated 12th of April 2019, till date to the Election Commission of India”.Farmers of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan) and BKU Dakaunda (Dhaner) began ‘rail roko' at several locations across Punjab at 12 noon today, including railway stations at Mansa, Barnala and Rajpura. Farmer leaders are set to hold talks today with Union ministers Piyush Goyal, Arjun Munda and Nityananad Rai, for the third time in a row, in Chandigarh. Speaking to The Indian Express, Punjab Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee General Secretary, Sarvan Singh Pandher hoped for a resolution after talks are held between the Centre and farmer leaders.Prime Minister Narendra Modi met the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamin bin Hamad Al Thani today. PM Modi was accorded a ceremonial welcome during his Qatar visit. PM Modi arrived in the Qatari capital last night and met his counterpart Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. The duo discussed ways to bolster ties between India and Qatar and PM Modi said he had a “wonderful” meeting. The external affairs ministry said that PM Modi is scheduled to hold talks on bilateral as well as regional and global issues.West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today said 17 people have been arrested in restive Sandeshkhali, while asserting that “none involved in any wrongdoing will be spared.” Referring to the area which has been witnessing protests over alleged atrocities on locals by ruling TMC leaders, Banerjee said in the state Assembly that she has never allowed and will never allow any injustice to anyone.In yet another setback to the INDIA alliance, National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah today said that his party will go solo in the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections. He further said the J&K Assembly polls could potentially take place at the same time as the Lok Sabha election. During a press conference, Abdullah said, quote, “As far as seat sharing is concerned, NC will contest alone and there's no doubt about it."This was the Catch-Up on the 3 Things by The Indian Express.

De internationale druk om tot een staakt-het-vuren te komen neemt toe, maar Israël voert het offensief in de Gazastrook op. Die 'militaire druk' is nodig, zei premier Netanyahu in de Knesset, om de gijzelaars die Hamas vasthoudt vrij te krijgen. Ondertussen meldt het Witte Huis dat er telefonisch overleg is geweest tussen Joe Biden en de emir van Qatar, Sjeik Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.  Sigrid Kaag stopt over anderhalve week als demissionair minister van Financiën en vicepremier. Ze gaat voor de Verenigde Naties de wederopbouw van Gaza coördineren. Kaag noemt het 'eervol' dat VN-secretaris-generaal António Guterres haar heeft gevraagd voor de baan. Ze hoopt een bijdrage te leveren aan een 'betere toekomst'. 2023 was het jaar van overvolle asielzoekerscentra, klimaatblokkades, ChatGPT en het eind van het tijdperk-Rutte. Voor boer John Arink uit Lieveld stond 2023 in het teken van stikstofreductie.

Manchester United is known around the world but the club has faced tough times in recent years with fans deeply unhappy with its owners. But could that be about to change? Earlier this month, we found out the British billionaire entrepreneur Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani had officially submitted bids for the Premier League club. On the Sky News Daily, Sally Lockwood takes a closer look at the two men vying to get their hands on Man Utd with our sports correspondent Rob Harris.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7251PER ALZARE LA COPPA DEL MONDO MESSI HA DOVUTO INDOSSARE IL BISHT di Giuliano GuzzoTutte le grandi storie, quasi senza eccezioni, hanno dei retroscena o delle sbavature, delle piccole ombre che, se non offuscano la luce complessiva di una narrazione, un minimo comunque la ridimensionano. Sembra essere questo il caso del gesto compiuto dal calciatore di cui si parla di più, e giustamente, in questi giorni. Vale a dire il fuoriclasse argentino Lionel Messi, il quale - sollevando la Coppa del Mondo - ha indossato un bisht, un mantello tradizionale del golfo Persico e non solo.Come rilevato da più osservatori, quel mantello è pregno di significati, dal momento che rispecchia opulenza e prestigio. E il fatto che, a porlo sulle spalle di quello che è universalmente riconosciuto come l'erede - ora ancor di più - di Diego Armando Maradona, sia stato l'emiro del Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani - peraltro facendolo in mondovisione -, a detta di molti ha rappresentato la globale sottomissione dello sport più popolare del mondo al potere e all'economia qatariota.Esagerazioni? Probabilmente no. Lo stesso scandalo Qatargate, che sta investendo l'Unione europea in queste settimane, dimostra infatti che serve incassare un bel po' di banconote per convincersi e provare a convincere terzi che da quelle parti valori come i diritti umani, quelli dei lavoratori, delle minoranze e via di questo passo, contino qualcosa. Perché la realtà dice altro, se non l'opposto. In questo senso, sicuramente il gesto dell'emiro del Qatar risulta molto potente, anche se non va certo fatta colpa al solo Messi.Come infatti dimenticare le parole - per molti analisti pregne d ipocrisia - di Gianni Infantino, il presidente della FIFA, il quale durante la conferenza stampa inaugurale dei Mondiali di calcio in Qatar aveva affermato: «Oggi mi sento qatariota, mi sento arabo, mi sento africano, mi sento gay, mi sento disabile, mi sento un lavoratore migrante». E lo stesso Infantino, alla vigilia della finale del Mondiale, ha rincarato la dose di ipocrisia, rispondendo - ad una domanda proprio sui diritti umani - che «ora pensiamo ai tifosi di calcio».Ma torniamo alla politicizzazione, indubbia, dello sfoggio del bisht per un'altra considerazione, che è la seguente.Si fa bene, anzi benissimo a riconoscere nel mantello rifilato a Messi un gesto clamoroso e vergognoso, ai limiti come si diceva poc'anzi della sottomissione culturale. Però bisogna essere franchi: non è certo il solo caso. Come la mettiamo, infatti, con analoghe politicizzazioni che da anni si abbattono in Occidente su eventi che nulla hanno a che vedere con la politica? Si pensi al collettivo inginocchiarsi prima di una manifestazione, oppure il rosso sfoggiato ovunque in occasione della Giornata mondiale contro la violenza sulle donne, ricorrenza molto importante ma nel corso della quale è impossibile - salvo che uno non intenda affrontare una bella polemica - ricordare che il primo ad uccidere le donne è l'aborto volontario. E ancora: come la mettiamo con i nastrini arcobaleno esibiti da star, influencer e sportivi di ogni livello, in teoria un simbolo contro le discriminazioni subite dalle minoranze sessuali ma, di fatto, un obolo alle più estreme rivendicazioni Lgbt, incluso l'utero in affitto?Come si può vedere, il discorso è molto ampio e non finisce né inizia in Qatar. Figuriamoci. Anzi, si può tranquillamente dire che la sudditanza di Lionel Messi all'emiro - sempre che sudditanza piena e consapevole sia poi stata -, è solo l'ultima di una lunga serie che si consumano ogni giorno in Occidente. Solo che queste ultime, anziché come tali, sono salutate anzi celebrate come "scelte di campo" coraggiose. Cosa ci sia mai di coraggioso in chi si accoda alla linea ideologica, se pensiamo ai cosiddetti diritti Lgbt, sposata non solo dalle più potenti cancellerie del pianeta, ma anche da colossi economici come Amazon, Apple o Disney, ecco, si fa fatica a capire.Come si fa fatica a comprendere chi - giustamente - si indigna per il gesto politico e di sottomissione di indossare un bisht, ma non si indigna allo stesso modo o affatto per i gesti politici e di sottomissione pro-Lgbt. Immaginate per un attimo un Lionel Messi - ovviamente non in Qatar, sarebbe stato impossibile - avvolto da una bandiera Lgbt per alzare la Coppa. Sarebbe stato un gesto salutato come forse il più coraggioso della storia. Non sarebbe stata sottomissione a politica e ideologia anche quella?Nota di BastaBugie: Lorenza Formicola nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Affari e moschee, la rete del Qatar in Italia" spiega perché da 15 anni il Qatar fa grandi investimenti nel nostro Paese: moda, hotel di lusso, grattacieli. Il Qatar investe molto per diffondere l'islam, di qui i progetti sul territorio italiano di diverse moschee e scuole coraniche.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana il 19 dicembre 2022:L'hanno chiamato Qatargate e ha tutta l'aria di essere uno scandalo appena all'inizio. I servizi di sicurezza di ben cinque Stati europei indagano sul tentativo di corruzione di parlamentari dell'Unione Europea: un presunto sistema tangentizio, con lo scopo principale di incidere sui dossier in corso di istruzione all'Eurocamera. Un'indagine che ogni giorno s'ingrossa di più. Ad essere coinvolti fin qui nell'inchiesta sono soprattutto i politici dell'ala socialdemocratica del Parlamento e tra questi anche diversi italiani. Ci sono, per esempio, l'ex eurodeputato del Pd, oggi Articolo Uno, Antonio Panzeri, sospeso dopo lo scandalo, ma anche Niccolò Figa-Talamanca della Ong No Peace Without Justice, fondata nel 1993 da Emma Bonino.Ma quello tra Italia e Qatar non è un sodalizio recente. Tessere una rete di conoscenze capaci di influenzare è una strategia di Doha a livello globale che vede, da anni, nell'Europa un tassello fondamentale e nell'Italia un Paese di particolare interesse. Gli investimenti strategici nel corso degli anni si sono sprecati. Doha, attraverso la Qatar Investment Authority (Qia), il fondo sovrano del Paese creato nel 2005 per investire in tutto il mondo, ha investito estensivamente in Italia negli ultimi quindici anni. Un tesoro il cui valore sarebbe intorno ai cinque miliardi di euro. Il Qatar, grande poco più dell'Abruzzo, al 2022 conta una popolazione di tre milioni di persone per un Pil di 223 miliardi di euro e un Pil pro-capite che è più del doppio di quello italiano.È il 1995 l'anno della svolta per il Paese, quando, con un colpo di Stato, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani spodesta il padre e diventa emiro. L'obiettivo è subito trasformare il piccolo Stato in potenza globale: gli ingenti proventi dell'industria di gas e petrolio gli tengono le spalle coperte e già nel 1996 finanzia con 150 milioni di dollari la costituzione dell'emittente televisiva Al Jazeera che negli anni è diventata, secondo la Bbc, il più importante canale di informazione in lingua araba del mondo. E nel frattempo Al Thani inizia una lunga e florida amicizia con la Fratellanza Musulmana per puntare, attraverso il tessuto religioso, culturale ed economico all'espansione verso l'Occidente, Italia inclusa.Il Qatar è da tempo un importante partner, per il nostro Paese, sull'energia: riceviamo, per un contratto a lungo termine sottoscritto da Edison, 6,5 miliardi di metri cubi di gas l'anno, cioè più del 10 per cento del totale del gas che l'Italia acquista dall'estero. Ma l'amicizia Italia-Qatar non si limita all'energia. Moda, hotel di lusso, Costa Smeralda, Milano: la lista degli affari del Qatar in Italia ogni anno s'arricchisce. Nel 2021, le esportazioni qatariote verso l'Italia sono state pari a 2,1 miliardi di euro, cifre che procedono così, senza particolari variazioni, dal 2019; inoltre, siamo il secondo Paese europeo fornitore del Qatar (dopo la Germania) e il decimo al mondo.A Milano, il Qia possiede l'Hotel Gallia, un 5 stelle acquistato nel 2006. E in pochi anni è diventato proprietario del Gritti Palace, a Venezia, del St. Regis e dell'Excelsior a Roma, del Baglioni e del Four Seasons Hotel a Firenze. Riguardo alla moda, nel 2012, il Qatar compra la maison Valentino per 700 milioni di euro. Nello stesso anno viene acquistata per 650 milioni di euro la Smeralda Holding che possiede alberghi di lusso: 2300 ettari di terreni immacolati nella costa gallurese che diventano quattro alberghi. A maggio del 2014, Pigliaru presidente e Renzi premier firmano un accordo con Rispo, responsabile per l'Italia della Qatar Foundation Endowment: nasce l'ospedale Mater Olbia. Nel 2015, tocca di nuovo a Milano. I grattacieli di Porta Nuova, simbolo della skyline del capoluogo lombardo, diventano di Doha per 2 miliardi. Nel 2016, viene comprato l'albergo San Domenico di Taormina e, a fine settembre 2017, Qatar Airways conclude l'iter di acquisizione del 49% di Meridiana.La politica estera si realizza anche con le forniture militari e l'Emirato, negli anni, è diventato ottimo cliente del complesso militar-industriale italiano. Nel 2016, il Qatar firma con Fincantieri l'acquisto di quattro corvette, due pattugliatori d'altura e una nave anfibia multiruolo con un contratto di quattro miliardi di euro.

Helmingi fleiri börn en áður enda með ADHD-greiningu og jafnvel lyf. Þetta veldur deilum og það eru fyrst og fremst sálfræðingar og aðrir sérfræðingar sem efast um allar þessar greiningar.

El presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, defendió el sábado a Qatar, el país sede de la Copa del Mundo 2022, en medio de severos cuestionamientos por violaciones a los derechos humanos de los trabajadores migrantes que construyeron los estadios y persecución a la comunidad LGBT. En la conferencia de prensa que se realizó en la víspera de la apertura del torneo, Infantino tomó la palabra y dijo «Hoy me siento catarí, hoy me siento árabe, hoy me siento africano, hoy me siento gay, hoy me siento discapacitado, hoy me siento un trabajador migrante», Infantino continuó: “Sé lo que quiere decir ser discriminado, ser acosado como extranjero. Como niño fui discriminado (en Suiza) porque era pelirrojo, porque tenía pecas, era italiano, hablaba mal el alemán». El presidente de la FIFA afirmó que «las críticas por el Mundial son hipócritas” y agregó: “Por lo que los europeos hemos hecho durante los últimos tres mil años, deberíamos estar pidiendo perdón los próximos tres mil antes de dar lecciones de moral a los otros. Estas lecciones de moral son simplemente hipocresía», insistió, antes de responder a las preguntas de los periodistas. El domingo Infantino presidió la ceremonia inaugural junto al jeque Tamim ben Hamad Al-Thani, que pronunció un breve discurso en el que, de manera velada, se refirió a las críticas de Occidente por la falta de respeto a los derechos humanos en el país anfitrión. «Personas de razas, de nacionalidades, de creencias y de orientaciones diferentes se reunirán aquí en Qatar y alrededor de las pantallas en todos los continentes. Qué bonito es que la gente deje apartado lo que les separa para preservar su diversidad y lo que les une al mismo tiempo», dijo el emir. «Estamos aquí reunidos como una gran tribu. Con tolerancia, respeto, podemos vivir juntos», añadió, remarcando el mensaje que unos minutos antes había marcado el espectáculo preparado especialmente para la ocasión.

Socrú díosail agus gáis ag an Ghearmáin le hÉimírtigh Arabacha. The United Arab Emirates has struck an "energy security" deal with Germany to supply them with diesel and liquefied natural gas, at a time when the Berlin government is looking for new sources of energy in exchange for supplies from Russia. Tá comhaontú "slándála fuinnimh" déanta ag Aontas na nÉimíríochtaí Arabacha leis an Ghearmáin le díosal agus gás nádúrtha leachtaithe a sholáthar dóibh, tráth a bhfuil rialtas Bheirlín sa tóir ar fhoinsí nua fuinnimh mar mhalairt ar sholáthairtí ón Rúis. "A decisive new arrangement that will strengthen the energy cooperation between us and Germany" said the energy minister of the Emirates, Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber on the agreement. "Socrú nua cinniúnach a dhaingneoidh an comhoibriú fuinnimh idir muid agus an Ghearmáín" a thug aire fuinnimh na nÉimíríochtaí, an Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber ar an chomhaontú. The United Arab Emirates will supply liquefied gas cargoes to the Brunsbuettel gas import terminal in the North Sea from now until the end of the year. Cuirfidh na Éimíríochtaí Arabacha lasta gáis leachtaithe ar fáil do chríochphort importála gáis Brunsbuettel sa Mhuir Thuaidh as seo go deireadh na bliana. The first direct cargo of diesel was delivered to Germany and it is intended that 250,000 tonnes of diesel per month will be supplied next year. Rinneadh an chéad lasta díreach díosal a sheachadadh chuig an Ghearmáin agus tá sé i gceist go gcuirfear 250,000 tonna díosal sa mhí ar fáil an bhliain seo chugainn. German Chancellor Olaf Sholz is currently on a tour of the Gulf hoping to sign energy supply contracts to relieve Germany's energy crisis since Russia invaded Ukraine. Tá Seansailéar na Gearmáine Olaf Sholz ar chamchuairt ar an Mhurascail faoi láthair agus súil aige conarthaí soláthair fuinnimh a shíniú le teacht as an ghátar fuinnimh atá sa Ghearmáin ó rinne an Rúis ionramh ar an Úcráin.

Read on for today's agenda below prepared by David (thank you very much). - Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.1)  Israel's PM Yair Lapid Prevented Palestine Islamic Jihad Attack by Using A Preemptive Strike?:  Acting PM Lapid approved a 'preemptive'  missile strike which killed Taysir al-Jabari,  a Palestine Islamic Jihad leader in Gaza Strip of Israel.  Israel claims Mr. Jabari was planning rocket attacks on Israeli tanks so a  preemptive strike on this terrorist leader's apartment was 'self-defense'. But that attack and others have now killed at least 15 Palestinian children in collateral damage.   Was it worth it?  2)  Is Gaza Strip an Occupied Territory of Israel?:   The Israel Self Defense Force (IDF) announced a unilateral withdrawal of occupation troops from Gaza in Sept. 2005.   But Israel continues to exercise  economic controls over goods movement into Palestinian.   Gaza inhabitants suffer home searches, limits on travel, etc.   Is such control tantamount to a  de facto occupation?  3)  Qatar Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani's International Anti-Corruption Excellence Award:   The Sheikh as Ruler of Qatar has established an International Corruption Award, to individuals and countries who fight corruption.   But since Qatar is a known backer of Hamas,  designated as an international terror organization by the US and Israel,  what gives the Sheikh the right to  be an anti-corruption champion? 4)  Is Russia Under Putin Becoming Xenophobic?  Putin has been funding 'Slavic Right Wing Nationalism' and promoting Eurasian identity as something that makes Russians unique in the world.   But Russia also has a fear of Chinese taking over their Far East region and perhaps Russia becoming a colony of China.   Is that reasonable?

O Hotel de la Marine, o mais recente museu a abrir em Paris, acolhe a exposição  "Gulbenkian por ele próprio, na intimidade de um coleccionador" que traz de volta a Paris muitas peças únicas de Calouste Gulbenkian, armador arménio que viveu em Paris e acabou por se instalar em Lisboa onde depois foi criada a Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian. O Hotel de la Marine é o novo ex-líbris dos museus a visitar em Paris. Inaugurado há um ano pelo Presidente Emmanuel Macron, este edifício na Place Concorde que serviu de depósito real de móveis, peças de arte e texteis a Luís XV e Luís XVI e que após a revolução francesa acolheu a Marinha, voltou ao seu esplendor. Após obras que se elevaram a 130 milhões de euros, podemos hoje percorrer os partamentos privados dos gestores dos bens dos reis franceses, que datam do século XVIII, assim como os salões de festas do século XIX, mas também um coleção de arte inesperada, a coleção do princípe do Qatar, Hamad bin Abdullah Al Thani, que durante 20 anos vai utilizar uma parte do Hotel de la Marine para expor a sua vasta coleção. Um coleccionador atual, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, decidiu convidar assim uma coleção história, a coleção de Calouste Gulbenkian, armador Arménio que viveu em Paris e acabou por se instalar em Lisboa, para mostrar até outubro a intimidade deste grande coleccionador do século XX. "Esta exposição tem um carácter íntimo, não tem grandes objectos como móveis, excepto a extraordinária pintura do grão-duque Richelieu, que está ligada à própria história deste edifício. Mesmo ao lado desta exposição, Calouste Gulbenkian teve um escritório, aqui no início da Rue Royale e na Praça da Concórdia, do outro lado, foi o primeiro apartamento no Quai Anatole France, onde tinha um apartamento de dois andares, onde ele via o Hotel de la Marine", disse Nuno Vassallo e Silva, director da Delegação da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian em Paris e comissário desta exposição. Em entrevista à RFI, o comissáro explicou como foram escolhidas as peças que viajaram de Lisboa até Paris, muitas delas num regresso ao local onde foram adquiradas. Esta exposição decorre no quadro da Temporada Portugal-França, uma iniciativa de diplomacia bilateral entre Portugal e França que visa aprofundar o relacionamento cultural entre os dois países e pode ser vista até dia 02 de outubro no Hotel de la Marine, em Paris.

After authorities in Madrid closed a gay sauna in the capital on Friday that had been identified as a possible place of the origin of monkeypox in Spain, more suspected cases have been recorded across the country, including the first infection of a woman. Spanish media have reported that there are now ‘at least 30' confirmed cases nationwide. Authorities on Saturday were investigating whether parties on the tourist island of Gran Canaria have been the source of several further infections, according to healthcare sector sources. Around 80,000 people from Spain and other countries attended the Maspalomas Gay Pride festival that took place there on 5-15 May. The Spanish left-leaning coalition government approved a draft bill on Tuesday to reinforce abortion rights and make Spain the first country in Europe to offer state-funded paid leave for women who suffer from severe period pain. ‘Today we send an international message of support to all women who are fighting for their sexual and reproductive rights,' Equality Minister Irene Montero told reporters, with the government hoping to guarantee access to abortion across Spain and de-stigmatise menstrual health with its new bill. Qatar has committed to investing 4.7 billion euros in Spain as the country launches an economic overhaul with its share of European Union pandemic recovery funding. Qatar's emir, Shekih Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, announced that the energy-rich gulf state would boost its investments in Spain at a state dinner with Spanish king Felipe VI late on Tuesday. The details of the investments were not made public beyond Spain's government saying that they would help guarantee the country's ‘energy security' and its transition to a ‘green economy'. But with Europe scrambling to find alternatives to Russian energy, Qatar has been looked to a source of liquefied natural gas given its massive gas reserves. The emir and Spanish prime minister met on Wednesday in Madrid and signed 12 agreements to solidify stronger bilateral relations. The agreements covered topics ranging from the economy and commerce to education, military cooperation, health and science. Spain, which received the second-biggest EU allocation behind Italy, plans to deploy 70 billion euros of direct EU transfers during 2021-23. It is set for an additional 70 billion euros in EU loans between 2023-26........................The Spanish government said the money from Qatar would ‘provide a flow of investments into Spain for its projects for a green and digital economy'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Moscow expelled 27 Spanish diplomats on Wednesday, as well as dozens more from France and Italy, in retaliation for the expulsion of Russian diplomats from Madrid and other European countries following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The employees of the Spanish Embassy in Moscow and the Spanish Consulate General in Saint Petersburg ‘have been declared persona non grata' and have seven days to leave Russia. “The last time we fished there it rained for most of the match and with the river rising, the fishing was hard,” said Carp-R-Us secretary Steve Fell. This time conditions looked particularly good as the river had a steady flow and everyone was looking forward to a good match. “How wrong that turned out to be!” Steve said. “Everyone struggled for bites and with at least 30 dead fish drifting down the river during the match there was a strong feeling that something in the river was affecting both the fish and the fishing. Incredibly sad.”

El recibimiento que le ha dado España a Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani no tiene precedentes. Loas, distinciones, gestos del rey y la reina y todo un programa de actos organizados por La Moncloa.

Es war ein ungewöhnliches Szenario letztes Wochenende: Ein Grünenpolitiker reist nach Katar, um über Erdgas zu sprechen. Nach einem Treffen mit Scheich Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in Doha verkündet Bundeswirtschaftsminister Robert Habeck eine langfristige Energiepartnerschaft mit Katar. "Man muss jetzt mit Partnern, die ihre Eigenheiten haben, sprechen", sagte Habeck diesbezüglich. Bernd Ulrich, stellvertretender Politikchef der ZEIT, kritisiert im Podcast die Vorgängerregierungen dafür, Deutschland in die Abhängigkeit von fossilen, russischen Energieträgern manövriert zu haben. Am Sonntag wählen die Menschen im Saarland einen neuen Landtag. Es ist die erste Landtagswahl in Deutschland seit der Bundestagswahl im September. Aktuellen Umfragen zufolge hat die SPD-Spitzenkandidatin Anke Rehlinger gute Chancen, die CDU als stärkste Kraft abzulösen. Politikredakteurin Lisa Caspari von ZEIT ONLINE beobachtet den Wahlkampf im Saarland und spricht mit uns darüber, warum Ministerpräsident Tobias Hans möglicherweise seinen Amtsbonus verspielt hat.

US President Joe Biden has met Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. He's the first Gulf leader to visit Washington since Biden took office. Discussions between the two have focused on investment, bilateral ties and energy co-operation, which has become more urgent as tensions rise on the Russia-Ukraine border. Qatar already supplies about 5 percent of Europe's natural gas needs - and could soon be asked to provide more. Strait Talk's Hadya Al Alawi has more.

Qatar, a young state with a commensurately small population has emerged as an influential powerbroker in the Middle East. What are the tools that have enabled it to project power, soft or otherwise, on the international stage? How can we better understand Qatar's “maverick” diplomacy that has enhanced its branding? Since its independence in 1971 and following a period of “high modernism,” the Qatari state has also deepened domestic ties with important social actors, bringing them into its orbit by forging lucrative financial ties. How did the acumen of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, who became Emir in the mid-90s, take the country further forward and what was the rationale behind transferring power to his young son, Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani (then 33 years old), in 2013? Despite the challenge arising from the Gulf crisis from 2017 to 2021, Qatar has proven resilient and hastened processes of economic diversification. Besides liquefied natural gas, how has the state addressed the questions of energy transition and sustainable development? More importantly, self-sufficiency is key to Qatar's resilience. These are the questions that our guest speakers will tackle in this webinar.

Tous les jours de la semaine, Paul Lahcene, remplacé aujourd'hui par Martin Lange, vous livre les dernières informations en provenance des réseaux sociaux. Aujourd’hui, Martin Lange revient sur une vidéo tournée pendant la remise des trophées de la Coupe du monde des clubs qui a eu lieu au Quatar. Sur celle-ci, le cheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani semble ne pas saluer deux arbitres femmes, Edina Alves Batista et Neuza Back.

Lors de leur débat télévisé jeudi soir, le ministre de l'Intérieur Gérald Darmanin a accusé à plusieurs reprises la présidente du RN et candidate à l'Elysée de "molle", contre l'islamisme notamment. L'ancien ministre de l'Intérieur Christophe Castaner, lui, a déclaré que Marine Le Pen était une ennemie de la République. Comme on ne sait plus qualifier le leader du RN, notamment au pouvoir, est-ce qu'elle est molle ou est-ce qu'elle est une ennemie de la République, on dit un peu n'importe quoi juge Jean-Michel Apathie. Le dernier excédent public en France remonte en 1974. Il n'y a eu que des déficits publics depuis. En 2020, on a un déficit de l'ordre de 250 milliards d'euros. Cela représente 10% de notre PIB. Conséquence : la dette publique augmente. Elle atteint 125% de notre PIB. Cette dette, il faut la financer. Il n'y a que deux grands moyens, soit avec une croissance très forte, soit avec une augmentation des impôts nous alarme Marc Touati. Les images de la cérémonie de remise des prix de la Coupe du monde des clubs au Qatar ont créé le tollé ce lundi. Internautes anonymes, élus locaux et personnalités se sont offusqués face au comportement jugé sexiste du cheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani. Filmées après la finale de la Coupe du monde des clubs à Doha, les images montrent ce membre de la famille royale féliciter les arbitres masculins qui défilent devant lui en entrechoquant les poings. Un geste qu'il ne reproduit pas avec les deux arbitres féminins. Pour Abnousse Shalmani, le féminisme a piscine. Du lundi au vendredi, à partir de 18h, David Pujadas, remplacé ce soir par Amélie Carrouer, apporte toute son expertise pour analyser l'actualité du jour avec pédagogie.

The white house said US President Donald Trump and Qatari leader Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani have agreed in a phone call on the importance of reduction in violence in Afghanistan, This comes after the clashes between government forces and Taliban fighters that killed dozens nationwide this week. The attacks are threatening to derail a fragile peace process, with the Taliban rejecting the Afghan government's repeated calls for a ceasefire as the country also attempts to deal with a growing coronavirus outbreak. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Qatar fue una colonia británica hasta 1971, protagonista por albergar las alas más radicales del “extremismo islámico”, una pobreza profunda, y la pesca de perlas. Sin embargo, a partir de la década de los 90 su crecimiento fue meteórico. Hamad bin Jalifa Al Thani dio un golpe de Estado en 1995, contra su padre, ambos, pertecenecientes a la familia Al Thani, que mantuvo el equilibrio tribal durante siglos, en la península.A partir de ese momento, Jalifa, comienza una serie de reformas internas estructurales que veremos a fondo en este podcast.

Turkey, Qatar ink deals to boost cooperation Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Qatar's Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani have signed seven agreements aimed at boosting ties between the two countries. The freshly inked deal cover sectors including trade, industry and technology. Ankara and Doha have grown closer since the Saudi-led bloc cut its ties with the small Gulf state in 2017. Uber loses licence to operate in London Uber has been stripped of its London operating licence after the local transport regulator said it was not 'fit and proper'. Transport for London said it had discovered several breaches that placed passengers and their safety at risk - despite a number of positive changes. Uber will be allowed to continue operating while it appeals the decision. EBay sells ticketing subsidiary StubHub for $4B EBay has agreed to sell its online ticketing subsidiary, StubHub, to European rival Viagogo for 4 billion dollars. The e-commerce giant had paid 310 million dollars in 2007 for the platform, which sells tickets to concerts, sports and other events. The move comes as the company faced heavy pressure from its investors to exit businesses unrelated to its core marketplace.

On July 6, 2019 Qatari-owned Al Jazeera aired the first of a three-part show called "Media haven or hell? The paradox of journalism in Turkey" highlighting Turkey's brutal oppression of treatment of Turkish journalists and thinkers. The report aired while Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar was in Washington, DC meeting with US President Trump. This is intriguing because Qatar and Turkey have a close relationship. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the President Turkey, constantly strives to position himself as the leader of the Sunni world in the Middle East, challenging major Arab Sunni states like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt. Qatar strives to position itself as leading Arab Gulf Monarchy and to that end conducts a regional and foreign policy that challenges the line of the Arab Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). As a result, in 2017 Saudi and the United Arab Emirates initiated a blockade on Qatar. This podcast explores Qatar's reasons and illustrates the point that everything in the Middle East is linked. And if you understand the links in the chain, you can make sense of seemingly disconnected, yet very connected events - and even begin to "predict the future."
