Sta agli atti della Corte internazionale di giustizia dal 5 aprile 2024. È la dichiarazione con cui la Colombia è intervenuta, ai sensi dell'articolo 63 dello Statuto, nella causa che il Sudafrica ha aperto contro Israele per genocidio a Gaza. Nel testo Bogotá scrive di volere "la sicurezza e, di fatto, l'esistenza stessa del popolo palestinese". Il 16 luglio l'ufficio del presidente eletto Abelardo de la Espriella ha annunciato che quel documento verrà ritirato. Lo dice così: la Colombia "riprenderà una posizione seria e responsabile sulla scena internazionale, anche all'interno del sistema delle Nazioni Unite". L'insediamento è fissato al 7 agosto. A Washington il ministro degli Esteri israeliano Gideon Sa'ar ha già incontrato il futuro omologo Omar Bula Escobar, e il conto è presto fatto: relazioni piene, visti aboliti, ambasciata a Gerusalemme. Sarebbe la nona, dopo Stati Uniti, Guatemala, Honduras, Kosovo, Papua Nuova Guinea, Paraguay, Fiji e Somaliland. Gustavo Petro, che quel documento lo aveva voluto, ha scritto del successore: "Chi sostiene il genocidio ne è complice". Tre giorni prima, il 13 luglio, il Dipartimento di Stato americano aveva annunciato una campagna per "disabilitare sistematicamente" la Corte penale internazionale. Prevede telefonate ai 125 Stati parte perché escano dallo Statuto di Roma, revoche di visti al personale, sanzioni a chi collabora. Corti diverse, metodo identico. Nessuno dei due atti discute una prova, una perizia, un fatto. Si lavora sull'elenco dei presenti. Giovedì Tina Marinari, di Amnesty International Italia, è stata ascoltata dal Comitato permanente sui diritti umani della Camera. Le espressioni di preoccupazione degli Stati sono ormai «un cinico alibi», ha detto, e la loro inazione rientra fra gli elementi del genocidio in corso. Restano due frasi scritte dallo stesso Stato a ventisette mesi di distanza. Nella prima c'era l'esistenza del popolo palestinese. Nella seconda c'è la parola "responsabile". #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

What makes someone run towards places most people are desperate to escape?Long before Ravi Singh became one of Britain's most remarkable humanitarian figures, he was a child caught between worlds: born in Singapore, raised in a Punjabi village, and brought to Britain at 11, where he encountered racism, loss and dislocation almost as soon as he arrived. Years later, he would go on to found Khalsa Aid, the international relief organisation known for delivering aid in some of the most dangerous and devastated places on earth.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with Ravi to trace the experiences that shaped his lifelong commitment to service - from a childhood marked by community, faith and hardship, to the moment he realised that compassion could become a form of action in the face of injustice.Ravi reflects on growing up in a village shared by Sikh, Muslim and Hindu families, losing his father at a young age, and arriving in Britain unable to speak English, where he was confronted almost immediately by racism and exclusion. He describes the values instilled by his mother, the discipline and belonging he found in the Air Cadets, and the personal and political awakening that followed news of atrocities in Punjab.They discuss faith, identity and activism; the Sikh principles of seva and Sarbat Da Bhala; the founding of Khalsa Aid during the Kosovo crisis; and what it means to deliver practical help in places devastated by war, displacement and disaster - from Iraq and Syria to Somerset and Slough.Passionate, reflective and deeply moving, this is a conversation about loss, service, solidarity and the moral courage required to see other people's suffering as your own.Find out more about Khalsa Aid here Full Disclosure is a Global ProductionListen or watch every Friday on Global Player, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

North Macedonia has waited 21 years at the EU's door. Zoran Dimitrovski and Linas Kojala ask what delay now costs Europe. Look at a map and the unresolved logic is striking. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia are almost entirely surrounded by EU and NATO members. These countries are not on some distant European frontier. They form an enclave within the Union's own geography. In 2003, at the Thessaloniki summit, the EU promised the Western Balkans a European future. More than two decades later, Croatia remains the last country to have joined, back in 2013. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, enlargement has shifted from a slow technical process to an urgent geopolitical question: what happens when Europe leaves a space inside its own borders unfilled? My guests brought two unusually powerful perspectives to that question. Zoran Dimitrovski, North Macedonia's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, spent 35 years as a journalist before entering government. He edited some of his country's leading newspapers, reported from Washington, wrote more than 1,500 articles and investigations, and continues to teach critical thinking and analytical writing. Alongside him was Linas Kojala, CEO of the Geopolitics and Security Studies Center in Vilnius and a lecturer at Vilnius University. A Fulbright scholar with studies at Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard, Kojala has written about Lithuania's own journey into the European Union and has been ranked among his country's most influential public figures. Twenty-one years at the front door North Macedonia became an EU candidate in 2005, around the same time as Croatia. Yet it still has not opened substantive accession negotiations. The country first faced a long dispute with Greece over its name, eventually resolved through the Prespa Agreement and the adoption of the name North Macedonia. That opened the way into NATO. A second dispute then emerged with neighbouring Bulgaria, involving language, identity, history and the recognition of a Bulgarian community within North Macedonia's constitution. Zoran Dimitrovski did not deny the work still required within his own country. North Macedonia must continue aligning its laws with the EU, strengthening the judiciary and fighting corruption. His argument was that these shortcomings were not the principal reason the country had been stopped. This describes one of the demands that, in Dimitrovski's view, reach beyond the Copenhagen criteria governing democratic institutions, human rights, the rule of law and a functioning market economy. There is, however, responsibility on both sides of the border and both sides of the accession table. The European Parliament's latest assessment expresses regret at North Macedonia's lack of progress, calling for the constitutional amendments, stronger cross-party cooperation and deeper reforms. Yet that same resolution warns that bilateral disputes over language, culture and national identity should not be used to obstruct accession. This is the uncomfortable heart of the story: the EU must remain demanding enough for membership to retain meaning, while remaining fair enough for its promises to retain credibility. The rules were written for a different Europe Kojala argued that the enlargement machinery itself must adapt to a radically altered security landscape. The process still requires unanimity at critical stages, allowing one member state to hold up another country's progress. Under normal circumstances, such caution might be defensible. These, he stressed, are not normal circumstances. The EU's decision-making can be painfully slow because 27 governments must agree on decisions touching sovereignty, money and national interest. Kojala compared it to 27 friends attempting to choose a restaurant, except that several of them may not be friends and the decisions are monumental. The central question is therefore whether procedures devised 20 years ago are still adequate for a Europe facing war, cyber-attacks, sabotage, disinformation and growing competition from authoritarian powers. Railways, bridges and the architecture of security EU enlargement may sound abstract, but it rapidly becomes concrete. It is about railway lines, bridges, roads, energy systems and digital networks. Dimitrovski pointed to Corridors VIII and X, which cross North Macedonia and connect the Adriatic, Black and Aegean Seas with wider Europe. These routes matter for trade and daily life, but also for NATO's ability to move personnel and equipment across the continent. A bridge too weak to carry military vehicles is simultaneously an infrastructure problem, an economic weakness and a security vulnerability. Kojala offered a useful challenge to the language of cost. Security spending is often discussed as money disappearing from productive use. Yet roads, schools, housing, communications and transport capacity remain in the communities where they are built. The same is true of enlargement: investment in the Western Balkans is not charity at Europe's edge. It is investment in the resilience of the continent as a whole. A vacuum rarely stays empty Russia remains an influential force in Serbia and parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Chinese lending and infrastructure investment have expanded across the region. Dimitrovski was careful not to suggest that the Western Balkans would simply abandon Europe for Moscow or Beijing. His warning was more subtle. Prolonged uncertainty can produce weaker institutions, frustrated populations and a region increasingly exposed to financial pressure, political manipulation and disinformation. Europe therefore faces a choice that is larger than whether another flag appears outside the institutions in Brussels. It must decide whether the Western Balkans are genuinely part of its future, and demonstrate that belief through fair conditions, credible timelines and visible results. Kojala described the European Union as something close to a “boring miracle”: cumbersome, imperfect and endlessly predicted to collapse, yet remarkably capable of adapting and surviving. That miracle now requires another act of political imagination. The Western Balkans have spent more than 20 years hearing that their future lies inside the European Union. Europe may now need to ask a harder question of itself: how long can a promise remain credible before waiting becomes its own form of rejection?

Some people break barriers while others redefine them. Born in Slovenia, Layla became one of the country's pioneering female boxers at just 19 years old, stepping into the ring when women's boxing was still fighting for recognition. Despite facing sexism and limited opportunities, she refused to back down, becoming a multiple-time national champion and proudly representing her country across Europe and the world.Her journey didn't stop there. Following Slovenia's independence, Layla became part of the first generation of women permitted to serve in the Slovenian Armed Forces. While serving in a 120mm mortar fire control unit, she completed peacekeeping deployments to Bosnia and Kosovo all while continuing her boxing career. Eventually, life brought her to Australia, where she once again started from scratch, determined to build a new future. This is an incredible conversation about resilience, service, elite sport, and having the courage to keep moving forward, no matter what life throws at you.https://www.1111breathwork.com.au/Food Hub OPEN!

Direction Libreville. À l'instar de nombreuses sociétés d'Afrique centrale, mais plus qu'ailleurs, la société gabonaise est meurtrie par les crimes rituels. Chaque année, ils font leur lot de victimes au nom de croyances pour des raisons politiques ou à cause de réseaux de crime organisé. On retrouve des corps abandonnés avec des organes manquants. En 2è partie, le Kosovo vit très mal les accusations de crimes de guerre portées contre les leaders de l'UCK qui ont mené le pays à l'indépendance.  Gabon: la détresse sans fin des familles de victimes de crimes rituels  C'est une plaie de nombreuses sociétés d'Afrique centrale, mais elle est particulièrement vive au Gabon : les crimes rituels font chaque année des victimes. Des corps retrouvés sans vie, auxquels on a ôté des organes comme le cœur, les yeux ou le pénis. Dans bien des cas, ces crimes ne sont jamais punis, ou alors seul l'exécutant est arrêté, et pas le commanditaire. Les familles des victimes, elles, se sentent abandonnées face à ces actes qui associent spirituel, politique et criminalité organisée. Un Grand reportage de François Mazet qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Héros ou criminels, les leaders de l'UCK face aux juges  C'est le dernier grand procès lié aux guerres qui ont déchiré l'ex-Yougoslavie. Vingt-sept ans après le conflit au Kosovo, le verdict est attendu normalement dans les toutes prochaines semaines pour les anciens dirigeants de l'UÇK,  l'Armée de libération. Ils risquent jusqu'45 ans de prison, eux, les premiers dirigeants du Kosovo indépendant. Mais ce tribunal spécial, de droit kosovar, avec juges internationaux à La Haye, suscite une profonde indignation dans le jeune État. Pour beaucoup, les 4 accusés ont libéré le pays de l'oppression du régime de Milošević et porté la cause de l'indépendance. Un Grand reportage de Louis Seiller qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

Turkmenistan rarely makes international headlines–and when it did, it was often stories that highlighted things like the strange cult of personality that surrounded Saparmurat Niyazov, its first post-Soviet president, who named months after himself and made his memoir required reading. Olivier Hein joins us on the show today to talk about Turkmenistan's long history: as a possible origin for Zoroastrianism, the first monotheistic faith; the rise of Merv, at one point possibly one of the world's largest cities; the emergence of the Turkmen; and how this region ended up becoming the crossroads of empires.

How do you prove that the person speaking to you is actually human? In this episode of Entrepreneur Rx, host John Shufeldt sits down with Visar Berisha, founder and CEO of OriginStory, to explore one of the most urgent problems emerging in the age of artificial intelligence: how to verify reality when voice, video, and identity can be convincingly replicated. Visar shares how today's AI tools can clone a person's voice in seconds, why deepfakes are becoming a serious threat in financial transactions, hiring, healthcare, and everyday communication, and how OriginStory is working to create a new layer of “proof of personhood” for digital interactions. Rather than trying to detect fake content after the fact, OriginStory's technology verifies human speech at the source by pairing audio with radar-detected biomechanical signals from the body.  The conversation also explores Visar's journey from Kosovo to Arizona, his academic path through ASU and MIT, his earlier work using speech and AI to track neurological disease progression, and the lessons he learned building and exiting his first company.  From synthetic identities to AI-driven scams, enterprise security, entrepreneurship, and the future value of human connection, this episode looks at what it may take to build trust in a world where seeing and hearing are no longer enough.  About Visar Berisha: Visar Berisha is a Professor at Arizona State University, with a joint appointment in the College of Engineering and the College of Health Solutions; and founder and CEO of OriginStory. Berisha's main research interests reside at the intersection of AI and the human voice. He has developed and commercialized new speech AI models for healthcare and cybersecurity. This work is primarily funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Defense, and the National Science Foundation. This work has led to many academic publications, several patents, and two VC-backed companies.  Berisha's work has been featured in the New York Times, on ESPN, National Public Radio, the Wall Street Journal, and a number of other international media outlets. He was the 2023-2024 ISCA Distinguished Lecturer.  About OriginStory: OriginStory is a proof-of-personhood company building the trust layer for human communication in the age of AI. OriginStory verifies that a real, live human is behind any conversation or recording. Its edge technology captures speech alongside human biosignals in real time, confirming the two align in a way only a genuine person can produce, and delivers continuous proof of personhood through a hardware-software platform. The approach is privacy-first (no biosignal data leaves the user's device) and validated to authenticate human-generated content, restoring trust in high-stakes moments like financial approvals, medical sessions, and executive communications where deepfakes and AI impersonation pose real risk.  About Xcellerant Ventures: Xcellerant Ventures is a venture capital firm that invests in innovative companies across healthcare, technology, defense, and other emerging industries. Through multiple funds and investment vehicles, including the Jetstream Venture Fund ($5,000 minimum interval fund), the firm partners with visionary founders, provides strategic guidance, and helps connect investors with opportunities in the private markets. Its portfolio includes companies developing solutions that have the potential to transform industries and improve lives.  Disclosure for Jetstream: Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Fund before investing.

Some battles end when you leave the battlefield. Others follow you home. In this unforgettable episode of The ToosDay Crüe Show, host Rich LaMonica sits down with Purple Heart recipient, Iraq War veteran, Combat Engineer, husband, father, and author Jason Rumbaugh for one of the most honest conversations we've ever had about war, trauma, resilience, and what it truly means to rebuild a life after combat. Jason's story begins like many young Americans seeking purpose through military service. But what followed was a journey through Germany, Kosovo, Iraq, roadside bombs, combat patrols, leadership failures, brotherhood, loss, and the kind of experiences that permanently change how a person sees the world. When an IED explosion left Jason wounded in Iraq, the physical injuries were only part of the story. The deeper wounds would take years to understand. Years of trying to adapt. Years of searching for purpose. Years of carrying memories that never seemed to fade. But instead of allowing those experiences to define him, Jason transformed them into something powerful. His memoir, Waves of Shrapnel: A Soldier's Journey, became both a tribute to the soldiers who never made it home and a roadmap for understanding the struggles many veterans face after returning from war. Throughout this emotional and often surprisingly funny conversation, Jason shares stories that are raw, human, heartbreaking, and inspiring all at once. You'll hear about:

"He was one of the greatest men of Serbia who ruled the kingdom after king Dušan. Upon the death of King Uroš, Lazar was crowned King of Serbia by Patriarch Ephraim. He sent a delegation to Constantinople, including a monk called Isaiah, to plead for the removing of the anathema from the Serbian people. He went to war on several occasions against the Turkish Pasha, finally clashing with the Turkish king, Amurât, at Kosovo on June 15, 1389, being slain there. His body was taken to Ravanica near Cupria, a foundation of his, and buried there, but was later taken to New Ravanica in Srem. During the Second World War, in 1942, it was taken to Belgrade and placed in the Cathedral, where it is preserved to this day and offers comfort and healing to all who turn to him in prayer. He restored Hilandar and Gornjak, built Ravanica and the Lazarica in Kruševac and was the founder of St Panteleimon, the Russian monastery on the Holy Mountain, as well as numerous other churches and monasteries."

Mittlerweile stammt jede fünfte Pflegekraft in Deutschland aus dem Ausland. Um dem steigenden Fachkräftemangel entgegenzuwirken, wird gezielt international rekrutiert.

If the apocalypse happens tomorrow and Piet gets one phone call, it's going to Andy McKenzie. Ex-British military, parachute regiment veteran, rehabilitation specialist, strength coach, and one of the most quietly brilliant minds in the health and performance space.Andy joined the military at 16, passed P Company at 17 — one of the hardest physical courses in the British armed forces — and served across Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Sierra Leone and Iraq before a three-story fall fractured his neck and three parts of his spine. Instead of ending his career, that injury sent him down the path of rehabilitation, and he never looked back.In this conversation Andy and Piet cover what real coaching actually looks like — why the job of a great coach is subtraction not addition, how to train an injured athlete without treating them like they're broken, and why smashing people into exhaustion is the laziest and most counterproductive thing a coach can do. Andy shares the philosophy he built over 30 years working with special forces soldiers, professional rugby players, polar explorers, world class ultra marathon runners and everyday people who've been bounced around between doctors, physios and coaches and never got better — until they found him.They also get into fatherhood, the business of coaching, AI, community, and why the biggest predictor of longevity isn't your VO2 max — it's the quality of your relationships.This one is a masterclass.

Veterans, corporate burnout survivors and anyone who has ever confused suffering in silence with being strong will find something worth hearing in this one. This episode is for the people who are fine, totally fine, definitely fine... and haven't slept properly in three months.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/omar-ritterOmar Ritter has lived more than most people will ever face in a lifetime. West Point graduate, Bronze Star recipient, combat veteran from Iraq and Kosovo, twenty-year Wall Street executive, brain tumor survivor. He's also someone who spent years hiding the fact that he was falling apart on the inside while everything looked great from the outside. In this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, Omar sits down to talk honestly about PTSD, burnout, identity loss and what it actually took to get better.Omar's breaking point didn't come on a battlefield. It came in boardrooms, in sleepless nights at JP Morgan, in a moment when he left his wife home alone with their week-old baby to go deliver documents to his boss at 3am. He was the guy who always got things done, no matter what it cost him. And that identity, the guy who never cracks, is exactly what nearly killed him.He opens up about his gunner from Iraq, a man who appeared fine on Facebook, who was chatting and checking in, and who then took his own life and the lives of his children after an untreated mental health crisis hijacked everything he was. Omar doesn't sugarcoat it. He calls PTSD what he believes it is: a hijacker in the cockpit of your brain, making you do things the real you never would.The conversation covers what burnout actually looks like versus just being tired or stressed, and why veterans in particular are so reluctant to get help. Omar is blunt about the stigma, but he's equally blunt about the excuses. TriCare covers treatment. Corporate benefits packages cover therapy. You can schedule a session on your lunch break and nobody needs to know. The resources exist. The harder part is deciding you're worth using them.One of the most powerful threads in this episode is the difference between powering through and real resilience. Omar held a gun to his own temple while powering through a job he hated in a city he never wanted to live in. He knows the difference from the inside. Resilience, he says, is bouncing back. Powering through with an untreated mental health condition is just damage accumulating until your body or your brain forces the issue.He also talks about the identity crisis that hits veterans when they leave service and walk into corporate America leading with their rank and their medals, only to find out nobody in the room knows what a combat action badge is or why it should matter to them. The reframe he had to learn was painful but necessary.Omar now teaches accounting and finance at UNC Charlotte, sits on veteran entrepreneur boards, and wrote the book West Point to Wall Street: My Journey to Mental Wellness. His audiobook just dropped. His message is simple: raise your hand, make the call, and deal with the rest once you're healthy. Everything else can wait.

Erstmals seit zwei Monaten beschiessen sich Israel und der Iran wieder. Hintergrund der jüngsten Eskalation ist eine israelische Offensive im Libanon. Weitere Themen: · Albin Kurti bleibt voraussichtlich Regierungschef im Kosovo. Seine Partei hat die Parlamentswahlen gewonnen – es waren bereits die dritten innerhalb von anderthalb Jahren. · Die Schweizer Leichtathletik feiert einen Erfolg: Beim Diamond League Meeting in Stockholm hat die Freiburgerin Audrey Werro über 800 Meter gewonnen. Sie unterbot dabei ihren eigenen Schweizer Rekord.

Zum dritten Mal in 16 Monaten hat der Kosovo ein neues Parlament gewählt. Gewonnen hat die Partei Vetevendosje von Regierungschef Albin Kurtin. Die freie Journalistin Adelina Gashi erklärt, warum Kurtin nach wie vor viel Unterstützung im Kosovo geniesst. · Russland rationiert Treibstoffe, vor allem auf der annektierten Halbinsel Krim und im besetzten ukrainischen Gebiet Luhansk. Und auch in Moskau sprechen Tankstellenbetreiber von Versorgungsengpässen. Wie knapp ist der Treibstoff in Russland und in den besetzten Gebieten momentan? Und wie erklären die Behörden die Engpässe? Die Einschätzung von Osteuropa-Korrespondent Calum MacKenzie. · Der starke Schweizer Franken drückt der Schweizer Exportwirtschaft auf die Stimmung. Ihre Produkte werden im Ausland teurer – und das müssen die Schweizer Firmen teilweise bei ihrer Marge kompensieren. Am Swiss Economic Forum SEF haben wir unter anderem mit Claudia Moerker gesprochen. Sie ist Geschäftsleiterin des Verbands Swiss Export. Wir haben sie gefragt, wie gut die Unternehmen den starken Franken momentan wegstecken können. · Dass der Schweizer Franken so stark ist, hat auch historische Gründe. Zum Beispiel eine relativ niedrige Inflationsrate. Der Ökonom Adriel Jost erklärt, warum die Schweiz eine so stabile Währung hat – und wer davon profitiert.

Medio Oriente sempre più vicino all'escalation: Israele colpisce Beirut e l'Iran, mentre la tregua in Libano vacilla e Gaza continua a contare morti. Armenia al bivio tra Mosca e Occidente, Perù verso una sfida politica che divide il Paese, terremoto e allerta tsunami nelle Filippine.

Hello to you listening in Pristina, Kosovo! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. The things we take for granted, like a song we've heard over and over. I wondered: what's the story behind “I Won't Back Down” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers?  "I Won't Back Down" was born from sheer defiance after a targeted act of arson in May 1987 burned Tom Petty's Los Angeles home to the ground. Petty refused to move away. Instead, he rebuilt on the same plot of land and channeled his trauma into a song of defiance. The message of resilience in the face of adversity became a universal mantra for overcoming any struggle.     Maybe like me you've acted against your own better wisdom, saying 'yes' instead of 'no', going along to get along, or something else. You know what I'm talking about. Maybe like me you finally figured out a better way to live. We've got just one life. In a world that keeps pushing us around we stand our ground, we won't back down! Story Prompt: When have you backed down because someone or something was pushing you around? No more.  You know how to stand your ground! Write that story and share it out loud!   You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together. AND!  Stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website during reconstruction, email me [info@quartermoonstoryarts.net] to arrange a no-obligation Discovery Call, and stay current with me as Quarter Moon Story Arts on Substack.

La directive européenne sur la transparence sur les salaires doit être déclinée et mise en œuvre dans chaque pays à partir du 7 juin. Mais seuls deux pays sont prêts. Nous serons en reportage en Autriche où les écarts dans l'industrie restent criants. Nous serons aussi au Kosovo où la question du port du voile à l'école revient dans le débat. Et comme tous les mercredis nous finirons l'émission en musique avec une pépite du punk allemand, mâtiné de new-wave, Die Radierer. Quelle égalité au travail ?  Améliorer l'égalité salariale entre hommes et femmes, c'est l'objet de la directive adoptée à Bruxelles, il y a trois ans. Les capitales européennes jusqu'au 7 juin pour la mettre en oeuvre, mais les choses traînent. Seules, l'Italie et la Slovaquie sont prêtes. En France, où les femmes gagnent près de 22% de moins que les hommes en moyenne, et 4% à emploi égal, le gouvernement espère remettre sa copie au Parlement courant juin, mais le texte ne satisfait ni les syndicats ni le patronat. Vienne n'est pas non plus dans les clous. En Autriche aussi, les femmes sont toujours moins payées à emploi égal mais les stéréotypes de genre restent aussi très présents dans le choix des métiers. C'est particulièrement le cas dans l'industrie, alors que Vienne aimerait redynamiser le secteur en manque de main-d'œuvre. Reportage Céline Béal.   1936 : à côté des progrès sociaux, l'échec de la politique coloniale  Le 4 juin 1936, la coalition menée par le socialiste Léon Blum formait le gouvernement du Front populaire. Les congés payés, la semaine de 40h ou encore les conventions collectives ont vu le jour le même mois. Le site RFI Connaissances nous rappelle que la période a été riche d'innovations dans d'autres domaines : elle a posé par exemple les bases du Festival de Cannes, et mis en place de larges campagnes de prévention de la tuberculose. Trois femmes sont au gouvernement, un signe fort de Léon Blum alors que le Sénat bloque leur accès au vote. En la matière comme pour le soutien à apporter aux Républicains espagnols plongés dans la Guerre civile, le bilan est controversé. Mais s'il y a un domaine où la désillusion est complète, c'est celui de la politique coloniale. Les explications d'Olivier Favier. À lire aussi1936, le Front populaire à l'épreuve du pouvoir: succès, limites et héritages Au Kosovo, l'autorisation du port du voile à l'école divise Le débat agite régulièrement la société de ce pays d'un peu plus d'un million et demi d'habitants. Dans ce pays majoritairement musulman, la laïcité est un principe fondamental, inscrit dans la constitution. Et l'autorisation ou non du port du voile à l'école publique divise. Une partie de la jeunesse trouve le principe de neutralité trop rigide. En face, les défenseurs d'une laïcité stricte estiment qu'il faut protéger l'équilibre fragile de ce jeune État né en 2008. Derrière cette question du voile, c'est l'identité du pays qui est débattue, entre aspirations européennes, retour du religieux et fractures générationnelles.

Artificial intelligence is viewed with less optimism in the U.S. than in other countries. The reason for that could be related to messaging around the rapidly advancing technology: In America, the focus is on potential job loss; elsewhere, AI is pitched as an economic boon. Also: today's stories, including how the Israeli military is escalating its campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon; how skyrocketing energy costs have the U.K. looking for solutions — including more drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea; and how one group of widows in Kosovo show that loss does not have to define a life. Join the Monitor's Linda Feldmann for today's news.

In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, Maurice Bloem speaks with Caterina Tino, ACT Alliance's Representative to the United Nations. Growing up in Rome, Caterina was shaped by a family that lived their faith through service, a Scout movement that emphasized citizenship and responsibility, and an early encounter with the world of international development that sparked a lifelong calling. What followed was a journey marked by determination, unexpected turns, and more than a few setbacks along the way.   The conversation explores how values become action, the lessons learned from working in Kosovo during a period of reconstruction, the realities of building a career in international cooperation, and the role faith communities can play in addressing today's global challenges. Caterina also reflects on rejection, resilience, family, and why creating change often begins with small acts of service and solidarity.   Caterina is an international development professional with expertise in human rights, advocacy, and partnerships. Prior to joining ACT Alliance, she worked with UNICEF, UNFPA, and the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), and contributed to the global civil society campaign that helped secure adoption of the UN Arms Trade Treaty. Caterina holds a Master's degree in Human Rights and Conflict Management from the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, Italy.   Listener Engagement: Discover the songs picked by Caterina and other guests on our #walktalklisten here.

“Truth is the real oxygen for democracy,” says Vjosa Osmani Sadriu, the 6th President of the Republic of Kosovo. As a child of war, she once longed for someone to save her people. Now she's been in the rooms where decisions are made — and she's never forgotten what brought her there. In conversation with solutions journalist Angus Hervey, she reflects on what it takes to defend democracy in a world where truth itself is under threat.
