Send us a textThe world of mountain running has transformed dramatically in recent years, with increasing competition and international participation revolutionizing races across America. In this illuminating conversation, elite Brooks athlete Talon Hull shares his journey from collegiate track star to professional trail runner, offering rare insights into the tactical approach needed for mountain racing success.Fresh off an impressive top-10 finish at the US Mountain Running Championships at Sunapee, Talon breaks down his race strategy for the muddy, technical course. "I wasn't climbing well at first," he admits, before explaining how he found his rhythm on the second lap, moving through the field on the most challenging sections. This tactical approach—knowing when to push and when to conserve—showcases the intelligence needed to succeed in today's competitive landscape.As Talon prepares for the upcoming Broken Arrow Skyrace, a Golden Trail Series event, he reflects on how the competition has evolved since his fourth-place finish two years ago. "Two years ago American men swept the top four positions," he explains, "but last year it was taken over by Kenyans." This internationalization has radically changed performance expectations, with times that would have been competitive in the past now falling short against global talent.What makes Talon's perspective particularly valuable is his unique background. Unlike many trail runners, he found success on mountain terrain early, placing third at the World Junior Mountain Running Championships while still in high school before pursuing a collegiate track career at the University of Washington. His story of being noticed by Brooks after setting FKTs in the Pacific Northwest demonstrates how the pathways into professional trail running continue to diversify.Now training in Boulder after years in Seattle, Talon shares insights about altitude training, technical terrain preparation, and the camaraderie within the rapidly expanding Brooks trail team. His friendship with teammate Dan Howell highlights the community aspect that makes trail running special, even as the sport becomes increasingly professionalized.Whether you're a competitive runner looking to transition to the trails or simply fascinated by the evolution of mountain racing, this conversation offers a window into the mindset, training philosophy, and race tactics of one of America's top mountain running talents.Follow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!

Part 3 - "Wake Up! The Bandits Are Coming!"At the end of March this year, officers from the Kenyan-led Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) responded to a request for assistance when an armoured Haitian National Police vehicle became stuck in a ditch near Pont-Sondé in Artibonite. The ditch was believed to have been dug by a local gang.As the MSS officers arrived to help, they were ambushed by armed men, allegedly from the Gran Grif gang. During the firefight, three armoured vehicles were set on fire, and one MSS officer went missing, presumed killed. This incident marked the second casualty for the Kenyans in about a month.The MSS was deployed to Haiti to help stabilize the security situation and combat the growing power of gangs. Unfortunately, since their arrival, the MSS has faced the same challenges as the Haitian National Police: a lack of manpower, inadequate equipment, and insufficient funding. The gangs continue to maintain the upper hand.Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Haiti continues to deteriorate.In the final part of this series on Haiti, we will explore the challenges facing the Haitian National Police, the fall of beleaguered Prime Minister Ariel Henry, the rising confidence of the Viv Ansanm gang, the arrival and difficulties encountered by MSS officers, and the escalating humanitarian disaster in the country.SpeakersJacqueline Charles, Haiti/Caribbean Correspondent, Miami Herald.

In January 2024, protests erupted across Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa as Kenyans demanded justice for women killed in a wave of femicides. The government promised action, launching a 90 day task force to deliver recommendations to President William Ruto. But that deadline has long passed and there's still no clear plan. BBC Africa Daily's Mpho Lakaje speaks to feminist activist Editar Ochieng and policy expert Kavinya Makau to explore why progress has stalled, what's happening behind the scenes and their thoughts on whether Kenya is truly committed to ending femicide.

In June last year, dozens of young Kenyans were killed and others wounded during days of anti -government demonstrations. The protestors wanted to occupy Kenya's parliament, to urge lawmakers not to pass a finance bill. Security forces protecting the premises opened fire at demonstrators, and at least three people were killed. No one has been held responsible for their deaths. An investigation by BBC Africa Eye shows how these protesters were gunned down.Also, how dozens of African migrants have been killed in a US air strike on a detention centre in a Houthi-controlled area in YemenAnd why South Africa is importing weevils to help fight a rapidly growing invasive plant!Presenter: Charles Gitonga Technical Producer: Francesca Dunne Producers: Blessing Aderogba in Lagos and Tom Kavanagh in London Senior Journalist: Karnie Sharp Editors: Alice Muthengi and Andre Lombard

Kenya has surpassed Nigeria to become Africa's biggest second-hand clothes importer. The industry employs millions of people but critics say it has crippled the local textile industry. It's not just about clothes, it's about livelihoods, local industry, and the long-term cost of dependency on used apparel.

Note: this episode might be listed as "E" on your app, but there's no bad language in this one. Tomorrow will mark the beginning of our 13th year of podcasting, so we end #12 with another one-Ryan show...this time about a 7-time Oscar-winner. Along with a slew of technical awards, Out Of Africa won Best Picture and Sydney Pollack was rewarded for his direction. His romantic epic, with all those scenic vistas, was also a mega-hit. Yet not everyone loved the story about Karen Blixen, partly because it's really long and arguably too slow. It's also easy to be bothered that Kenyans & their land are just a backdrop for a love triangle between 3 white people. Coffee farmer Meryl Streep and great white hunter Robert Redford DO sell the love in this "based on real events" flick...even if he doesn't feel as authentic as she does. So enjoy the early days of spring listening to the 654th edition of Have You Ever Seen, the one about Out Of Africa. Well, Actually: to be very anal about this, the Ellis' honeymoon was on the island of Mallorca, not Ibiza. Also, the Serengeti is in Tanzania, not Kenya...although those 2 countries ARE neighbours.

With its dancing challenges and comedy sketches, it's no surprise why Tiktok is popular with young Kenyans. It's also a way for them to make money through the app's gifting service. But there's a darker side, where young women – and girls as young as 15 – are selling sexual content on livestreams, with some being recruited and exploited by “digital pimps”. Africa Eye's Debula Kemoli investigates who is profiting. A spokesperson for Tiktok said in a statement that they have zero tolerance for exploitation. And they enforce strict safety policies, including robust live content rules and moderation in 70 languages, including Swahili.

Sex is one of the few things in life that is available to everyone and is free. But achieving enjoyable sex is not possible for many. Some people are held back by fear, ignorance or culture - others don't know or understand their rights around sex. For years public health campaigns focused on warning people about the downsides of sex - danger, disease and death - but increasingly the work is focused on the reasons people have sex. We're in Brazil where we meet Ana Autoestima. She's a ‘virtual friend' who provides positive advice about sex to women living some of the poorest neighbourhoods in Rio de Janeiro. We also visit Iraq to find out how a project is helping women who've suffered from female genital mutilation or FGM to enjoy their bodies and sexuality. And we'll hear from Kenyan celebrity and musician Kaz Karen Lucas whose mission is to change the way Kenyans think about sex.This podcast contains adult themes.People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems.

Le président de transition haïtien poursuit sa visite en France, Leslie Voltaire rencontre aujourd'hui des responsables politiques après un entretien mercredi (5 février 2025) avec Emmanuel Macron. Le chef de l'État français a demandé à l'ONU d'envisager une mission de maintien de la paix en Haïti, face à la violence des gangs qui déstabilise le pays et a fait plus 5.000 morts l'an dernier (2024). Une mission internationale de soutien à la police haïtienne, dirigée par le Kenya, a commencé à se déployer mais ses capacités sont encore insuffisantes.Seulement quelque 800 policiers de six pays ont été déployés progressivement depuis l'été dernier (2024), sur les 2.500 espérés. Et les attaques des gangs, qui contrôlent déjà selon l'ONU 85% de la capitale, ne semblent pas avoir faibli depuis.Pour Ricardo Germain, consultant indépendant en sécurité et défense, « les Kenyans se sont beaucoup investis aux côtés de la police haïtienne dans cette mission, mais il n'y a pas de victoires stratégiques en raison du manque de financement. Il y a aussi une lecture trop conjoncturelle de ce qu'il se passe en Haïti : il faudrait parler de groupes armés criminels et non de gangs, de conflits, et non pas de criminalité. »« Le problème se trouve aussi dans le contexte régional de trafic d'armes, de munitions et de drogue. Il faudrait une réévaluation de la situation en Haïti, et élargir le cadre d'intervention dans la mesure où il s'agit d'un problème régional. « Le Premier ministre a révélé que le Conseil supérieur de la police nationale avait été informé du projet des gans d'attaquer Kenscoff. « Les forces de l'ordre se retrouvent sur plusieurs fronts et en raison du manque d'équipement et d'effectifs, et la question est de savoir si nous avions les moyens de faire face à ces organisations criminelles » estime Ricardo Germain.La population est parfois alliée à la police, le président du conseil de transition le disait sur RFI, parlant de légitime défense. Pour Ricardo Germain : « Le risque est que ces civils ne soient pas encadrés et cela pourrait exacerber la situation où ces groupes de défense deviennent des groupes criminels »Son interview est à retrouver en intégralité sur la version audio de cette page. Nicaragua : Ortega « assure sa dynastie » avec la réforme de la constitutionDaniel Ortega et sa femme Rosario Murillo ont consolidé leur pouvoir absolu au Nicaragua : en tant que président et coprésidente, ils ont désormais une emprise totale sur les organes de l'État et sur la société civile, selon une réforme constitutionnelle validée jeudi (30 janvier 2025) par le Parlement.Cette réforme prolonge le mandat d'Ortega jusqu'en 2028, soit un an de plus, détaille la Prensa : Ortega est un homme de 79 ans, il est au pouvoir depuis 2007, il veut «assurer sa dynastie et souhaite gagner du temps», estime le quotidien, pour pouvoir imposer sa femme comme sa seule successeure.Pour 100% Noticias, cette réforme constitutionnelle vivement critiquée par l'ONU, l'Organisation des États américains, les États-Unis et les opposants nicaraguayens, «élimine l'équilibre des pouvoirs» et «légalise l'apatridie» pour toute personne considérée comme traître à la Nation tout comme la pratique de la torture. Le journal d'opposition parle aussi de la création d'une «police volontaire» où des civils armés pourront participer au maintien de l'ordre, ce sont en réalité des «groupes paramilitaires», explique 100% Noticias, qui « agissent dans le cadre de la soi-disant « Opération Nettoyage » par laquelle le Gouvernement du Nicaragua a neutralisé les protestations contre lui. » États-Unis : le risque d'une guerre tarifaireLa hausse de 25% des droits de douane attendus ce 1er février 2025 au Canada et au Mexique aura des conséquences sur l'agriculture américaine, estime Politico.Le journal relate à quel point ces droits de douane pourraient décimer certains pans entiers de l'économie américaine et, en particulier, le secteur agricole. Le sénateur du Dakota du Sud John Thune qui est aussi le chef des Républicains au Sénat a récemment déclaré sans une certaine ironie: «Apparemment, le président donne une grande valeur à l'utilisation de ces droits de douane et je suis sûre que nous aurons beaucoup de discussions à ce sujet». Il faut dire que son État pourrait se retrouver dans les «tirs croisés» de cette guerre des tarifs, poursuit le journal, ce qui pourrait lui donner «des brûlures d'estomac sur la position qu'il devra adopter» face à un Donald Trump intraitable et incontrôlable. En 2018, lors du premier mandat de Donald Trump, « les agriculteurs du Dakota du Sud qui exportent pour plusieurs millions de dollars de soja, maïs et viande ont été fortement touchés par la riposte tarifaire du Mexique et du Canada, et ils en payent encore le prix ».Pour le Washington Post : Cette politique tarifaire touchera en premier lieu l'économie des pays dans le viseur de Donald Trump et notamment le Canada qui « envoie presque 80% de ses exportations aux États-Unis et des millions d'emplois sont concernés ». Les secteurs de l'énergie et de l'automobile seraient parmi les plus touchés. Si le Canada décide de répondre par une hausse de droits de douanes sur les biens américains, le dollar canadien pourrait plonger et les prix augmenter. C'est «la destruction mutuelle assurée», estime un spécialiste canadien cité dans le quotidien. Panama : « Nous gérons parfaitement le canal »Traditionnellement, tout nouveau secrétaire d'État américain se rend pour son premier déplacement à l'étranger auprès de grands pays alliés y réaffirmer la bonne entente. Pas Marco Rubio. Le nouveau chef de la diplomatie américaine ira à partir de samedi (1er février 2025) dans cinq pays d'Amérique centrale où il entend incarner «l'Amérique d'abord» de Donald Trump, à commencer par le Panama dont le canal suscite les convoitises de Donald Trump, qui a promis d'en «reprendre» le contrôle pour contrer l'influence de la Chine.Le canal de Panama est essentiel au commerce mondial : «Nos résultats prouvent que nous gérons parfaitement le canal. Tous les pays, y compris les États-Unis, l'ont reconnu au fil des ans. Nous utilisons simplement l'une de nos ressources naturelles, pour le bénéfice du Panama.» explique Boris Moreno, vice-président des opérations du canal rencontré par Grégoire Pourtier. Les navires commerciaux américains sont logés à la même enseigne que les autres pavillons, et les droits de passage font l'objet d'un processus concerté. «Quand un prix augmente, personne n'est content. Mais c'est un prix juste. », poursuit Boris Moreno, « Nous faisons des études de marchés pour connaître la valeur des cargos qui transitent, et à partir de là nous déterminons le droit de passage, quelle que soit l'origine du bateau. Nos grilles tarifaires sont publiques et s'appliquent à tout le monde.»Boris Moreno s'étonne aussi des accusations d'une ingérence de Pékin, alors que le canal est entièrement géré par le Panama, un pilote local prenant même les manettes des navires le traversant. Mais il est vrai que les Chinois exploitent deux ports dans la zone.«Il n'y en a que deux autour du Canal qui sont contrôlés par des sociétés basées en Chine, et leurs concessions ont été attribuées alors que nous étions encore dirigés par l'administration fédérale américaine, en 1997. Et je n'avais jamais entendu de plainte jusque-là.» conclut-il.Reportage sur le Canal du Panama, à retrouver dans son intégralité dans la version audio de cette page. Football : le retour de Neymar dans son club de SantosEn football, le Brésilien Neymar est présenté à Santos, son tout premier club, où il fait son retour 12 ans après. Le génial brésilien, passé entretemps par le Barça, le PSG puis Al-Hilal en Arabie Saoudite, se bat depuis plusieurs saisons avec les blessures et son meilleur niveau semble derrière lui, mais son retour suscite la joie parmi les supporters. Baptiste Leduc les a rencontrés. Parmi eux, Weslei Ribeiro qui n'avait que 6 ans quand Neymar a quitté le Brésil pour Barcelone : « Neymar est l'un des meilleurs joueurs du monde et je pense que ses performances à Santos seront excellentes », dit-il. Fernando Tavares lui n'est pas naïf, il connaît les critiques qui ont accompagné le Ney tout au long de sa carrière et sait que personne ne le changera : « Il est controversé, il l'a toujours été et le sera toujours. Il attire toujours l'attention, c'est Neymar ! » L'actualité des Outre-mer Benoît Ferrand de la 1ère nous parle des assises consacrées à la « violence des jeunes » qui se seront ouvertes ce mercredi sur l'île de Saint-Martin.

Ep 395 MAINA MURUMBA - MORARA'S XMAS SPEECH, ABDUCTIONS, KENYANS IN USA CRIMES & ACCIDENTS Iko Nini

Il y a 15 ans, Haïti était frappé par un tremblement de terre meurtrier. 280 000 personnes perdirent la vie, 300 000 furent blessés et 1,3 million d'Haïtiens se retrouvèrent sans-abris. De la République des ONG, en 2010, au fiasco des interventions internationales ; de l'affaiblissement des institutions haïtiennes, à la crise politique qui perdure ; la situation humanitaire du pays est aujourd'hui encore chaotique. Depuis le 1ᵉʳ janvier 2024, la spirale infernale de violences des gangs armés a fait près de 4 000 morts, malgré l'intervention attendus de policiers Kenyans. Au début de l'été, seul une infime partir du contingent de la MMAS, mission multinationale d'appui à la sécurité, est arrivée en Haïti. Son bilan est aujourd'hui largement insuffisant. Entre inaction et ingérence : quel rôle supplémentaire doit jouer la communauté internationale pour sortir Haïti de la crise ?  Invités :► Frédéric Thomas, politologue, chargée d'étude au CETRI► William O'Neill, expert des Nations-unies sur la situation en Haïti.

Ep 391 part 1 POSSESSED KENYANS, SAKAJA, LIVESTOCK / ICHUNGWAH VACCINATION & GOVERNMENT CRITICS

Thousands of Kenyans protested against a finance bill in June that would have increased taxes on many everyday items. This was proposed in part to help pay off loans from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank, which account for more than 40 percent of the country's foreign debt. But what is Kenya's current fiscal climate? And how are these debts impacting gender equality?

Anglican Church bishops in Kenya have added their voice to criticisms of President William Ruto's government. Last week, Roman Catholic bishops in Kenya criticized the government for what they called unexplained killings, abductions, and disappearances in the country, especially the murder of women. Some supporters of the government urged the bishops to focus on ministering to the flock and not to dabble into politics. In a statement on Monday, the Anglican bishops said it was their duty to take a second look at the morality of Kenya's democracy and jumpstart civil engagement to bring about accountability. The Right Reverand Professor David Kodia, the Anglican Bishop of Bondo, tells VOA's James Butty, the church represents Kenyans, some of whom cannot afford a meal a day or who are paying taxes but do not see the value of their taxes

It is important for many who were recently radicalized by the #RejectFinanceBill protests to understand that we are not the first to take on the powers that have shaped Kenya into a country subservient to foreign interests. Under Moi, neoliberalism and authoritarianism stripped Kenyans of self-determination, but many movements—including the December Twelfth Movement/Mwakenya and the Release Political Prisoners Movement—fought back. In this teach-in, we are joined by organizers of these movements, plus Women Solidarity Network, to discuss movement-building, linking past and present struggles, and the role of feminist ideology and leadership in making movements resilient and successful.

Roman Catholic Bishops in Kenya have criticized President William Ruto's government for what they called unexplained killings, abductions, and disappearances, especially the murders of women in the country. The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops made their claims Thursday during a news conference. Kenyan government officials were not immediately available for comment, but the Kenyan police released a statement reiterating their commitment to serve and protect all Kenyans. VOA's James Butty asked Barrack Oduor, political reporter with the People's Daily of Kenya, just what else the Catholic Bishops had to say

Attaque présumée contre la Cour suprême à Brasilia, ce mercredi (13 novembre 2024) : après avoir tenté en vains de pénétrer dans le bâtiment de la Cour suprême, un homme a provoqué plusieurs explosions, dont une l'a tué. Les enquêteurs tentent d'éclaircir son mobile. Ces explosions interviennent alors que le pays accueille, la semaine prochaine, un sommet du G20 à Rio de Janeiro et le président chinois à Brasilia. « Selon les premières informations, il s'agirait d'un suicide », affirme la gouverneure de Brasilia. Il y a eu en fait deux explosions, explique O Globo : une près de la Chambre des députés, dans laquelle l'homme a trouvé la mort, et une autre à 500 mètres de là, quand son véhicule a pris feu dans un parking.La police fédérale estime qu'il pourrait y avoir un lien avec la tentative de coup d'État du 8 janvier 2023, qui a eu lieu au même endroit. Le président du Tribunal suprême fédéral a indiqué que si c'est le cas, l'enquête sur l'explosion sera jointe à celle du 8 janvier, rapporte Folha de Sao Paulo. Et, souligne le quotidien, les députés du l'ex-président d'extrême droite Jair Bolsonaro craignent déjà que les explosions de ce mercredi compromettent l'examen du projet de loi amnistiant les personnes condamnées pour la tentative de coup d'État. D'autant que, écrit Folha, le suspect a été candidat à un poste de conseiller municipal du Parti Libéral de Jair Bolsonaro. À Port-au-Prince, des tirs de jour comme de nuit Ce mercredi, nouvelle journée au ralenti dans la capitale haïtienne : il n'y avait quasiment pas d'école ni de commerces ouverts, par contre les tirs ont continué. Nouvelles autorités, mêmes problèmes, constate le quotidien Le Nouvelliste : si les autorités politiques essaient de monter un nouveau gouvernement, la vie quotidienne des Haïtiens est toujours perturbée, avec des tirs de jour comme de nuit, explique le rédacteur en chef du quotidien Frantz Duval. Et, selon l'Organisation internationale des migrations, 4 500 personnes ont quitté leur domicile les deux premiers jours de la semaine.Le Nouvelliste rapporte une autre information qui donne une idée de l'ampleur des violences : les soldats des Bahamas, dépêchés au sein de la mission multinationale d'appui à la sécurité, ont été libérés de leurs obligations par leur gouvernement. Ils peuvent partir s'ils ne se sentent pas en sécurité. « Il faut dire que ces derniers jours, on ne voit plus les Kenyans, on n'entend plus parler d'opération majeure de la police », note Frantz Duval : « on résiste toujours ici et là, mais c'est toujours une dégringolade qui continue ». Attaque d'une ambulance de MSF à Port-au-PrinceCe lundi (11 novembre 2024), une ambulance de Médecins sans frontières a été attaquée dans la capitale haïtienne. Elle a d'abord été forcée par la police de changer de destination pour conduire ses trois blessés par balles vers un hôpital public, où des personnes armées ont finalement abattu au moins deux des trois blessés. Les équipes de MSF ont, elles, été gazées, menacées de mort, insultés. « On est tous sous le choc, c'est vraiment la première fois qu'on a du personnel qui se fait agresser, menacer verbalement, violemment », explique Christophe Garnier, le chef de mission de MSF France en Haïti. MSF qui se pose maintenant la question de sa présence dans le pays, même si le départ de l'organisation « serait une catastrophe » : « si on n'a pas l'assurance du gouvernement notamment, de travailler en toute sécurité ça va devenir problématique ». La Colombie adopte un texte interdisant le mariage des enfants El Colombiano précise que ces dernières années, la loi interdisant le mariage d'enfants avait déjà échoué à huit reprises à être adoptée. Cette fois, le projet de loi a été soutenu par plusieurs groupes parlementaires. Il est maintenant entre les mains du président Gustavo Petro.El Informador indique qu'entre 2020 et 2023, 1 403 mariages d'enfants ont été enregistrés en Colombie. Le Code civil permettait jusqu'ici le mariage à partir de 14 ans avec la permission des parents, ce qui avait « engendré, malheureusement, un marché », écrit le quotidien, « de filles et de garçons qui étaient utilisés comme monnaie d'échange contre du bétail, des ressources, des lots »… Semana rappelle de son côté que les mariages d'enfants « entraînent des cas de violence fondés sur le genre, des grossesses d'enfants et d'adolescentes, la déscolarisation »... La situation des filles indigènes est la plus préoccupante, pointe El Universal : un tiers d'entre elles sont mariées avant d'être majeures à des hommes ayant le double ou le triple de leur âge. Le racisme au MexiqueAu Mexique, universitaires et militants cherchent des moyens de parler du racisme, très ancré dans la société du pays, au-delà du cercle des spécialistes de la question. Un racisme lié à l'histoire coloniale. La question mémorielle a d'ailleurs récemment provoqué des tensions entre le Mexique et l'Espagne. Depuis 2019, le pays réclame des excuses à l'Espagne. Pour l'historien et philosophe Martin Rios – que la correspondante de RFI Gwendolina Duval a rencontré, ce serait l'occasion de déconstruire les méconnaissances qui perdurent sur cette période : « Certains groupes en Espagne », explique-t-il, « maintiennent encore que la conquête a été un processus civilisateur où les tribus indigènes ont été libérées. » Une réflexion commune pourrait bénéficier aux deux nations mais aussi à toute l'Amérique latine, estime-t-il, pour assumer le passé.Et ne pas s'arrêter là : au Mexique, le récit national repose sur le métissage, mais la classification des différentes catégories de personnes est loin d'avoir disparu, explique José Angel Bazán, qui travaille pour une association de défense des victimes de racisme. Dans les films et les publicités, « la réussite sociale est bien souvent le privilège des personnages blancs tandis que les peaux plus foncées incarnent les représentations de la misère et de la marginalisation sociale ». Une « racialisation » à l'origine de bon nombre d'inégalités économiques. Des nominations coup de poingAux États-Unis, Donald Trump continue d'annoncer les membres de son gouvernement, et la dernière salve de noms soulève beaucoup de questions. Toute la presse parle d'eux : Matt Gaetz, ministre de la Justice ; Pete Hegseth, secrétaire à la Défense ; et Tulsi Gabbard, directrice du Renseignement national. Trois personnes, selon le Washington Post,« idéologiquement extrémistes et manquant de l'expérience nécessaire », alors que le président les a choisies pour des postes-clé de la sécurité du pays.Chacun de ces choix, estime le quotidien, constitue pour le nouveau Sénat à majorité républicaine « un test majeur de sa capacité à faire passer l'intérêt général avant la loyauté envers le parti ». De fait, les sénateurs républicains sont bien embêtés, à en croire le Boston Globe : au Congrès, la presse s'est précipitée pour les faire réagir, et « ils ont affirmé ne pas avoir connaissance des dernières informations, ou ils se sont réfugiés dans des ascenseurs, ou ils ont poussé de longs soupirs incrédules ». De toute façon, Donald Trump compte se passer de leur assentiment, puisque, rappelle le New York Times, il a insisté pour que le chef de la majorité républicaine au Sénat organise des pauses dans les sessions, qui lui permettront d'installer unilatéralement les membres de son cabinet – le quotidien parle d'une « attaque en déni de service contre un des instances de contrôle de la présidence ». Le journal de la PremièreC'est la journée du diabète.

The US Ambassador to Kenya, Meg Whitman, resigned Wednesday, one week after Donald Trump's re-election. In a statement, Ambassador Whitman touted some of her achievements to include various trade, health and security agreements that Kenya signed with the United States, including Kenya's elevation as the first major non-NATO ally in Africa. Barrack Oduor, a political reporter with the People's Daily of Kenya, tells VOA's James Butty, Ambassador Whitman's resignation met a mixed reception on various Kenyan social media platforms for her good work, but also what some Kenyans saw as her failure to criticize President Ruto's government during the June anti-tax protests.

This is an extended version of a programme first broadcast on Sunday 28 May 2023.Ronnie O'Sullivan OBE is currently ranked the number one snooker player in the world, and is widely regarded as one of the finest players in the history of the sport. He has won the Masters a record seven times and he jointly holds the record for winning the World Snooker Championship seven times. Since 1997 he has held the world record for the fastest 147 break, leading to his nickname 'the Rocket'. Ronnie grew up in Essex and his father gave him his first snooker cue when he was seven. He took to the game immediately: he was playing on a full size snooker table when he was just eight, and two years later he was beating adult players. By the age of 12, he was winning cash prizes in local tournaments, and was soon earning more than his teachers. Ronnie turned professional when he was 16, and quickly established himself as a star player and a fans' favourite - but he has also made headlines away from the snooker table, with accounts of his depression and struggles with alcohol and drugs. For many years he has kept his physical and mental health in check through his passion for running. He received an OBE in 2016 for services to snooker.
