Vanessa Feltz has been a fixture on our TV screens and radio stations – not to mention tabloid headlines – for three decades. Now she has written a memoir, Vanessa Bares All, which charts the many ups and downs of her personal and professional life, from the Big Breakfast Bed to the Big Brother house, via Madonna and Miss Piggy. If farming can seem to be a man's world, then ploughing is especially male. So who are the women taking part in ploughing competitions like the one in The Archers this week? Sarah Williams, a competitive plougher, joins Anita, as does Sarah Hehir, a writer on The Archers. A new documentary called Kingdom Uncovered: Inside Saudi Arabia follows an undercover journalist attempting to record what life is really like in the country. The current government say they have improved the situation for women, but is this really the case? Human rights activist Lina Al-Hathloul, whose sister Loujain was imprisoned for defending women's rights, joins Anita alongside Dr Maryam Aldossari, a Senior Lecturer at the University of London. From 15th century birth girdles to 13th century make-up tutorials, a new exhibition at the British Library reveals what life was like for medieval women. Curator Eleanor Jackson and writer Bee Rowlatt, who both work at the Library, talk about challenging our ideas of women in the Middle Ages. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Emma Pearce

لجين عارضة أزياء تبلغ من العمر 33 عامًا بدأت عملها في عرض الأزياء عندما كانت في الرابعة عشرة من عمرها ، وهي الآن تُعرف عمومًا بأرملة الملياردير العربي وليد أحمد الجفالي. كانت عارضة أزياء مقيمة في بيروت ، قبل أن تتزوج وليد. لجين هي أيضًا مشهورة جدًا على وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي ، وحسابها على Instagram (loujainaj) لديه أكثر من 109 آلاف متابع. في عام 2022 ، أصبحت لجين نجمة تلفزيونية بعد ظهورها في برنامج الواقع "Dubai Bling" التابع لعملاق OTT على Netflix. Loujain Adada is a 33-years-old model who started her modeling carrier when she was 14 years of age and now she was popularly known as the widow of Arabic Billionaire Walid Ahmed Juffali. She was a fashion model based in Beirut, before marrying Walid. Loujain is also a very popular social media celebrity, and her Instagram account (@loujainaj) has more than 109k followers. In 2022, Loujain became a TV star after appearing in the OTT giant Netflix's reality show “Dubai Bling.”
The life and exploits of Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, aka MBS.Mohammed bin Salman is the uncrowned king of Saudi Arabia, ruling the Kingdom with an iron fist. He took power by force and coercion from Muhammad bin Nayef and he consolidated that power by kidnapping, detaining and torturing members of the Saudi Royal Family and prominent businessmen like Prince Alwaleed bin Talal in the Ritz Carlton hotel in Riyadh, he even kidnapped the Lebanese prime minister Saad Hariri and imprisoned his own mother. He also ordered the murder and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2017. If you enjoy our content, please become a patron to get our premium exclusive episodes, and our public episodes ad-free. 1 MBS also has an army of flies, tiger squads, gold cars and a lavish lifestyle, he owns the world's most expensive home, the Serene $500M yacht and Leonardo Da Vinci's Salvator Mundi, but the painting he paid $450M for proved to be a fake. MBS has a very dual personality: he's modern but also medieval at the same time. The Saudi state essentially treats women as permanent legal minors. But MBS is also implementing Vision 2030 to modernize Saudi Arabia, he allowed women to drive, he brought back cinemas, he reduced the power of the religious police and clerics, he wants green energy cities, and to move away from dependency on oil. 2 In the context of president Biden's upcoming visit to Saudi Arabia and meeting with King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and MBS, “the reset”, with a gallon of oil priced $5, we think it's important to also highlight the relations between US and Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region like Qatar, Yemen, Syria, , Bahrain, Lebanon (United Arab Emirates), as well as the Iran – Saudi Arabia proxy conflict, known as the Middle Eastern Cold War. Saudi Arabia has a young population, 60% of Saudis are under 30 and use Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram. MBS' army of flies – bots and hackers - created by Saud Al Qahtani ensures that no critical posts happen, and his tiger squads – hitmen – target those who dissent like Saad Al Jabri. Women can now drive but Saudi Arabia still imprisons activists like Loujain al Hathloul. Some of the laws governing sex segregation have been relaxed, but Saudi Arabia's guardianship system ensures that men still have ultimate control over most aspects of women's lives. We also discuss the beheadings in Chop Chop Square (Deera or Al-Safaa Square), the executions of those who oppose the regime, the arrest of Ali Nimr during the Arab Spring, the lashing of blogger Raif Badawi, MBS' war in Yemen, and we draw a parallel between Mohammed Bin Salman and Putin. We also discuss the connection between the Wahhabi-Salafi Islam ideology in Saudi Arabia and Daesh (Isis), Al Qaida, and other terrorist groups: the ideology is so similar that the manuals used by Saudi kids in school are the same books used in terrorist indoctrination schools in the caliphate areas. The Trump visit in Saudi Arabia and the glowing orb in the now infamous photo depicting King Salman, Trump and Egypt's president Abdel Fattah al Sisi touching the orb is also a point of discussion. 3 1.

Men aktivisten Loujain al-Hathloul och flera andra kvinnor körde bil ändå och sattes därför i fängelse. Hör också om bergsklättraren Nelly Attar som var en av de första arabiska kvinnorna som besteg Mount Everest och startat träningscenter för kvinnor.Aliaa Magda al-Mahdy genomförde nakenprotesterDen egyptiska aktivisten Aliaa Magda al-Mahdy publicerade en nakenbild på sin blogg i en protest mot våld och sexism, något som ledde till mängder med reaktioner och en hat- och hotkampanj mot henne. Hon har senare också protesterat barbröstad till exempel utanför Egyptens ambassad i Sverige där hon lever i exil. Hennes metoder har ansetts mycket kontroversiella.Shireen Abu Akleh blev palestiniernas röstDen palestinska journalisten Shireen Abu Akleh sköts till döds i Jenin på den ockuperade Västbanken i maj 2022.

Lina AlHathloul is the youngest sister of Loujain. Since her older sister was detained in May 2018, alongside more than a dozen other women human rights defenders, Lina has become one of the few family members able and willing to speak out on behalf of an incarcerated relative. A lawyer by training, Lina has become a tireless advocate for her sister and has spoken to numerous media outlets, at international events and gatherings, and to representatives of the U.S. government and the United Nations. They discuss: 00:19 - Introduction to Lina 00:53 - What was it like growing up as a girl in Saudi Arabia with a guardianship system? 02:50 - Once she moved away from the country, Lina explains what it was like to experience life in a free country for the first time. 04:15 - Lisa gives background on Loujain being imprisoned for 1,001 days and what she experienced during that time. 04:48 - Lina explains the moment her sister was kidnapped in the UAE and the course of events that led to her unlawful imprisonment. 09:16 - Lina describes in further detail exactly what happened to her sister Loujain while being held in the torture facility–beatings, electric shock therapy, waterboarding, sexual abuse and the man who ordered it all–MBS's right hand man, Saud al-Qahtani, who allegedly oversaw the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. 11:53 - How did her release come about? Lina explains how her sister was labeled as a traitor with signs bearing her face placed around the capital city with those stamped on them. MBS claims Loujain was communicating with enemy states but not produced any of the evidence he claimed to posses. 15:41 - Lina talks about how her sister was offered an early release if she made a video statement saying she was never tortured or harassed while imprisoned, which Loujain refused to do. 17:03 - What is Loujain doing now? Lina describes her sister's five-year travel ban, how people around her are targeted, being isolated and how she lives in constant fear. 18:10 - Lisa asks Lina about an https://www.elle.com/culture/a39787294/inside-saudi-arabias-secret-detention-facilities-where-women-disappear/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social-media&utm_campaign=socialflowTWELM (article) she recently tweeted about regarding the care houses and how women who report their abusers (rape victims, incest, physical abuse) are held in these facilities and tortured for months before being released back to their male abusers. 20:04 - In 2020, Lina wrote a https://grantliberty.org/loujain-al-hathloul-sister-begs-ladies-european-tour-golfers-to-boycott-saudi-event-in-solidarity-with-womens-rights-activists-held-in-the-kingdom/ (letter) to members of the Ladies European Tour begging them not to participate in any Saudi government sponsored tournaments (Aramco Series). She explains what prompted her to write the letter and discusses the dangers sportswashing poses to all Saudi women. 24:25 - Lisa asks Lina what her message would be to LPGA players currently wearing the "Golf Saudi" logo and accepting MBS's blood money. 26:51 - Does it give MBS power when players from the West support his sportswashing efforts? 27:56 - Lina responds to Greg Norman's comments about life for women in Saudi Arabia getting better because he's seen them in restaurants. She also reacts to Lee Westwood's claims that life is improving for women and people in Saudi. 29:51 - What's the future for women in Saudi under MBS? 30:23 - Lisa asks Lina how concerned she is for her sister's safety. Lina goes into detail about the travel ban, continued torture, her sister's phone being targeted with spyware, being followed and harassed. 31:55 - How about her own personal safety? She talks about why speaking out will always help her sister and she doesn't have the luxury to remain silent. 32:57 - Thank you...

Presidentskandidaat Zemmour ligt onder vuur en neemt de vlucht naar voren‘Het is niet langer de tijd om Frankrijk te hervormen, maar om het land te redden.' Die woorden sprak de radicaal-rechtse Eric Zemmour in een video, waarmee hij zich officieel kandidaat stelde voor de Franse presidentsverkiezingen van april volgend jaar. Even leek het alsof hij zelfs Marine Le Pen, de gedoodverfde tweede in de race, achter zich zou laten. Zijn populariteit onder zijn ultraconservatieve achterban leek geen limiet te kennen. Maar toen waren daar in de afgelopen dagen die mogelijke liefdesbaby met zijn maîtresse en een opgestoken middelvinger naar een voorbijganger. Door zich kandidaat te stellen lijkt Zemmour de vlucht naar voren te willen nemen. Maar kan dit zijn campagne een nieuwe boost geven? Hierover Saskia Dekkers, oud-Frankrijk-correspondent en nu Europa-correspondent voor Nieuwsuur. Saoedische 'sportswashing' met de F1'Max Verstappen, spreek je uit bij de Grand Prix van Saoedi-Arabië.' Een bijzondere oproep in Bureau Buitenland van de zus van de activist Loujain al-Hathloul. Loujain werd door het regime opgesloten in Jedda, onder andere omdat ze streed voor het recht van vrouwen om auto te rijden. Zondag mogen ze weer, Max Verstappen en co. Deze week is het voor het eerst dat de F1 plaatsvindt in het Saoedische Jedda. Volgens de zus van de vrouwenrechtenactivist spelen F1-coureurs, zonder dat ze het zelf weten, een hoofdrol in een PR-machine van het regime, wanneer ze racen in landen zoals Saoedi-Arabië. Reden ook voor Amnesty International om aan de bel te trekken. Aan tafel zit Floor Beuming, Midden-Oosten-coordinator bij Amnesty International.

Loujain al-Hathloul wurde am 31. Juli 1989 in Jeddah, Saudi-Arabien geboren und ist eine saudi-arabische Frauenrechtlerin. Für ihren Aktivismus nutzte sie von Beginn an erfolgreich die sozialen Medien. Sie hat sich unter anderem für die Aufhebung des Fahrverbots für Frauen in Saudi-Arabien eingesetzt, außerdem dafür, die rechtliche Vormundschaft für Frauen durch Männer zu beenden.In der absoluten Monarchie wagte sie es, erfolgreich auf der Social Media Plattform Keek Frauen aufzurufen, selbst Auto zu fahren und sich den Restriktionen des Königreichs zu widersetzen. Sie wurde 2018 inhaftiert jedoch erlaubte wenig später der Kronprinz den Frauen das Autofahren und Frauen wurden ein wesentlicher Bestandteil seiner "Vision 2030". Dank Loujain unterzeichneten 14.000 Personen im September 2014 eine Petition an den König Salman, der die rechtliche Vormundschaft für Frauen durch Männer beenden sollte. Sie ist sehr mutig, denn die Gefahr der Inhaftierung setzte sie sich wiederholt aus.Doch ihr Impact auf die Gesetzesänderungen ist groß.Unser Werbepartner in dieser Episode ist Athletic Greens, auch AG1 genannt.

L'attivista e femminista saudita Loujain al-Hathloul è stata scarcerata, ma non è ancora del tutto libera. L'attivista e femminista Loujain al-Hathloul si batte da anni per i diritti delle donne saudite. Articolo di @Marta voce di @Feffa

This time talking to Lina Al-Hathloul, Saudi human rights activist and sister of Loujain Al-Hathloul. Loujain was jailed in a Saudi prison for her tireless fight for women's rights from 2018 until just a month ago. I spoke with her sister Lina about Loujain's current condition and the physical and psychological torture she had to endure in prison. Lina emphasizes that although Loujain is no longer imprisoned now, she is still not free because she is living in very strict conditions imposed on her by the Saudi government. It becomes clear again and again how important it is that we used our platforms to create awareness for the catastrophic human rights situation in Saudi Arabia.
Il y a quelques semaines, j'avais eu le plaisir d'échanger avec Mostafa, ce papa qui avait décidé avec sa femme d'échanger les rôles et de consacrer beaucoup de temps à ses enfants.

He explains how he's campaigning to get minority communities in the UK to take the vaccine and why that hesitancy exists in Britain and beyond.

Rhett Palmer and David Hunter in “The David Hunter Perspective”Closing discussions with "Locally Grown" expert Jim Fini. Retired US Diplomat David Hunter served in South Korea (1992-96), India (1996-99), Ukraine (1999-2000), Pakistan (2001-02) and Spain (2003-04). In 1983 he was a Visiting Fellow at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), Johns Hopkins University. He published a book in 1991, Western Trade Pressure on the Soviet Union. He holds a Masters Degree in International Relations from the London School of Economics , an MBA from the Crummer School, and a BA from Emory University. Today's Agenda…1) Growing Iran-China Alliance?: With the JCPOA expiring, China now has freedom to sell military weapons to Iran. But this is only part of a much bigger China-Iran partnership, that may complicate US actions in the Middle East. What is that bigger partnership? Are Iran and China becoming close allies? 2) Saudi Arabia released Woman Prisoner: Loujain al-Hathloul, 31, a prominent Saudi woman fighting for greater freedoms for women---including the right to drive a car---was released from Saudi's brutal al-Hair prison a few days ago. She is not really free, but on 'probation' w/ travel ban while awaiting her appeal. Biden says her release is 'welcome news'. Was her release just an attempt by Crown Prince MBS to buy good will with Biden? What do you think? 3) Does Roger Stone have connections to Proud Boys?: Stone was attending a rally on Jan 5th, 2021, where he spoke to a group of Proud Boys. And he admitted in court that he had Proud Boys Chairman working in his house as an 'assistant'. Since the group was involved in the Capitol attack, is there any reason to be concerned w/ Stone's actions?4) Yemeni Drones Attacking Saudi Arabia: Recently drones launched by Houties attacked Riyadh, the capitol of Saudi Arabia. These drones are supplied to the Houties by Iran. Is this an attempt to see if Iran can get away w/ attacking the Saudis under Biden Administration? Or testing Biden's willingness to compromise? YOUR VISION IS OUR FOCUS Exceptional eye care in a professional, caring, & friendly environment.

Jeanne Lacaille nous emmène en Arabie Saoudite, où l'activiste saoudienne Loujain al-Hathloul vient d'être libérée. Après avoir passé 1.001 jours en prison et subi une condamnation pour d'improbables charges d'espionnage et de conspiration, Loujain al-Hathloul a pu regagner le foyer familial. Cette jeune femme de 31 ans avait été condamnée à 5 ans et 8 mois de prison dont 2 ans et 6 mois avec sursis pour avoir poussé les femmes à prendre le volant et à se libérer de la tutelle masculine.

Suudi Arabistanlı kadın hakları aktivisti Loujain al-Hathloul yaklaşık 3 yıl hapis yatmasının ardından serbest bırakıldı. ABD Başkanı Joe Biden, Çin'e karşı uygulanacak stratejileri geliştirmek için Pentagon'da bir çalışma grubu oluşturulduğunu açıkladı. Fransa'da hükümet Charles de Gaulle havalanında 9 milyar euroluk maliyetiyle dikkat çeken genişletme projesini iptal ettiklerini açıkladı.
Emmanuel Macron était à Nantes ce matin pour évoquer l'égalité des chances. Le président a pris des mesures pour faciliter l'accueil de ces jeunes filles ou jeunes garçons issus de familles défavorisées dans l'administration. 1 000 places seront ouvertes en classes préparatoires "talents" aux concours de la fonction publique. Pour Jean-Michel Apathie, cela ne change pas la face de la société française. Selon lui, l'ascenseur social est toujours en panne. Bloquée par les Bretons en 2014, les autorités ont quand même mis en place l'écotaxe et l'ont appelé : contribution spécifique sur le transport routier de marchandises. Le gouvernement renvoie le dossier sur les collectivités locales. La loi 4D prévoit que le transport des routes nationales peut être confié aux départements ou régions qui le souhaitent. Emmanuel Macron a promis de ne pas créer d'impôts supplémentaires. Pour Pascal Perri, il a tenu sa promesse. Ce sont les collectivités qui ont augmenté les impôts. Sous pression, Riyad libère la militante saoudienne des droits humains Loujain Al-Hathloul, au moment où le pays fait face à des critiques grandissantes concernant le respect des droits humains dans le royaume. La jeune femme de 31 ans est sortie de prison mercredi 10 février après avoir passé presque trois années derrière les barreaux. Pour Abnousse Chalmani, elle a été relâchée quinze jours avant la date prévue parce que Joe Biden a annoncé que les droits de l'homme étaient revenus dans les jeux diplomatiques. Mais aussi parce que l'Arabie saoudite se rapproche d'Israël. Il faut que le royaume donne des gages à tout le monde. Loujain Al-Hathloul sert ainsi à cette espèce de marchandage. Du lundi au vendredi, à partir de 18h, David Pujadas apporte toute son expertise pour analyser l'actualité du jour avec pédagogie.
*) Trump trial video shows danger of Capitol riot Prosecutors at Donald Trump's impeachment trial showed chilling new security video to recount the Capitol insurrection. The video showed a mob of rioters breaking into the Capitol, smashing windows and doors and searching menacingly for Mike Pence and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, as police begged on their radios for help. Prosecutors detailed how Trump did nothing on January 6th to stop the attackers, despite those around him urging him to call them off. *) Biden in call with China's Xi raises human rights, trade US President Joe Biden spoke about trade and Beijing's crackdown on activists in Hong Kong during a phone call with China's Xi Jinping. Biden also pressed Xi on Beijing's human rights abuses against Uighur and ethnic minorities, and its actions toward Taiwan. Xi told Biden that China and the US should manage their disputes in a constructive manner, unlike his predecessor. *) Prominent Saudi women’s rights activist released from prison One of Saudi Arabia’s most prominent political activists has been released from prison. Loujain al Hathloul, who pushed to end a ban on women driving in Saudi Arabia, was arrested in 2018 and sentenced to almost six years in prison under a broad counterterrorism law. Her early release comes as Joe Biden vows to reassess the US-Saudi partnership and stand up for human rights and democratic principles.. *) Red Cross: Tens of thousands could die from starvation in Tigray The Ethiopian Red Cross Society warns that tens of thousands could starve to death in the country's conflict-hit Tigray region. The situation worsened after Ethiopian forces launched a military offensive there three months ago. Nearly 4 million of Tigray's roughly 6 million people are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. And finally... *) Tokyo 2020 president to resign over sexist comments Yoshiro Mori, the president of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics organising committee, will resign after publicly making sexist remarks. The 83-year-old complained that Olympic committee meetings were dragging because competitive women in attendance talked too much. His comments resulted in the resignation of over 400 Olympic volunteers and protests calling for him to step down.
A la Une de la presse, ce jeudi 11 février, la poursuite des manifestations contre le coup d’État militaire en Birmanie, malgré la répression. La libération de la militante saoudienne des droits humains Loujain al-Hatloul. Le mouvement #MeToo au Koweït. La révolution de la cravate au parlement néo-zélandais. Et des pandores appelés à la rescousse pour un drôle de motif.

It's November 28, 2020. Paxton 'kidifies' headlines about a protester in Singapore, a kiss between a Hindu and a Muslim, a warning for Canadian drivers about moose, free tampons for women in Scotland, and a family speaks out about Loujain al-Hathloul
Arab Digest editor William Law in conversation with Lina al-Hathloul, the sister of the jailed Saudi womens' rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul (https://www.loujainalhathloul.org/.) Loujain was detained and tortured in a secret prison and in December of last year given a six year prison sentence. Her sister tells Loujain's story and the family's fight for justice.
A la naissance de son aînée Loujain, Mostafa est un papa très occupé professionnellement. Forcément il manque de nombreux moments du développement de sa fille. Quelques années plus tard, décide de renverser le schéma classique de la parentalité pour devenir un papa "expérimenté" comme il le dit lui même.

Fate of President Donald Trump's $2,000 Covid-19 relief cheques now rests with GOP-led Senate, and drones could soon be making commercial delivery of packages in the US *) US House approves $2,000 Covid-19 relief bill The US House has voted overwhelmingly to increase Covid-19 relief cheques to $2,000, sending the bill to the GOP-controlled Senate. The new measure, long-backed by the Democrats, would provide more money to low-income Americans only. By sending the measure to the Senate, Democrats are using the rare point of agreement with Trump to advance the proposal, or at least put Republicans on record against it. *) Telecom towers targeted in Indian farmer protests Protesters in India have attacked more than 1,500 masts of companies that they believe have profited from new farm laws at their expense. Tens of thousands of farmers have been demonstrating near the capital New Delhi to protest new laws implemented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. Farmers leaders say the reforms will lead to a takeover of the agriculture business by Indian conglomerates. *) Three French soldiers killed in Mali At least three French soldiers were killed in Mali after an improvised explosive device hit their armoured vehicle. France has more than 5,000 troops deployed in West Africa to help fight militant groups there as part of Operation Barkhane. Militants, who were forced from power in northern Mali after a 2013 French-led operation, now launch frequent attacks in the region. *) Saudi court hands jail sentence to women's rights activist A Saudi terrorism court has sentenced prominent women's rights activist Loujain al Hathloul to five years and eight months in prison. Hathloul has been held since 2018 after being arrested along with at least a dozen other women's rights activists. The court suspended two years and 10 months of her sentence. And finally… *) US to allow small drones to fly over people and at night Small drones will be allowed to fly over people and at night in the United States. Most drones will need to be equipped so they can be identified remotely by law enforcement officials. Drones are the fastest-growing segment in US transportation, and the latest move will potentially give a boost to commercial use of the machines.

Agathe Hernier vous dresse le portrait de Loujain Al-Hathloul, icône de la lutte des Saoudiennes pour leur émancipation. Incarcéré la saoudienne de 31 ans, depuis maintenant deux ans et demi a entamé une grève de la faim depuis le 26 octobre.
FiLiA speaks with Lina Al-Hathloul, the sister of Loujain Al-Hathloul, a women's rights campaigner from Saudi Arabia who has been imprisoned in Saudi Arabia as punishment for her campaigning for women's rights. Loujain's campaigning work for women's civil rights includes advocating for an end to the male guardianship system, for women's right to drive, for women's right to political representation and participation, and for the creation of a women's shelter for victims of domestic violence. Lina has become one of the few family members able and willing to speak out on behalf of an incarcerated relative. She has become a tireless advocate for her sister Loujain and continues to bring to light the widespread mistreatment and torture of prisoners such as her sister at the hands of the Saudi government.
In this edition, we turn our attention to Saudi Arabia, which this week hosted the Women 20 (W20) online summit, attended by some of the most powerful women from across the globe. However, there were also many missing faces. Among them were some of the conservative kingdom's most prominent activists, like Loujain al-Hathloul (pictured). According to rights groups, some of these women have faced abuse while imprisoned, including electric shocks, flogging and sexual assault. For more on this story, we speak to Hiba Zayadin, a Gulf researcher at Human Rights Watch.

Elizabeth gives Thistle the skinny on her take on the top stories and developments of 2019. Elizabeth and WLRN wanted to make sure all of our listeners have this link to FIST's feminist amendments to the Equality Act, a story to look for in 2020. https://feministstruggle.org/2019/10/19/feminists-in-struggle-fist-launches-campaign-for-feminist-amendments-to-the-equality-act/ After hearing from Elizabeth, enjoy Ani DiFranco's rockin' tune from new year's eve 2008 called Red Letter Year before transitioning to listening to Lierre Keith ring in the new year with her take on the top stories of 2019 and what to look for in 2020. Lierre Keith is a writer, small farmer, and radical feminist activist. She is the author of six books, including The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability, which has been called “the most important ecological book of this generation.” She is coauthor, with Derrick Jensen and Aric McBay, of Deep Green Resistance: Strategy to Save the Planet She’s also been arrested six times.

Jacqueline Hansen, Amnesty International Canada’s Major Campaigns and Women’s Rights Campaigner, discusses the courage that Loujain al-Hathloul and other reforms continue to show in Saudi Arabia, with RCI's Terry Haig.

*)Kashmir curfew to be eased after Thursday: governor The curfew in India-administered Kashmir will be eased after Thursday, the state governor said, but phone lines and the internet will remain cut off. India, on August 5, scrapped the autonomous status of Kashmir, which remains under a strict communications and security lockdown. The Muslim-majority region is claimed in full and ruled in part by India and Pakistan – the latter has demanded a UN meeting on Jammu and Kashmir. *)Flights resuming at Hong Kong airport after protest chaos Flights resumed at Hong Kong’s international airport after two days of chaos, as pro-democracy protesters and the semi-autonomous city hardened their positions. About three dozen protesters remained in the arrivals area after a mass demonstration and mob violence forced over 100 flight cancelations. The airport said it obtained an injunction to restrain people who obstruct operations, and one area in the airport has been marked for demonstrations. *)Trump delays China tariffs for Christmas shopping US President Donald Trump backed off his September 1 deadline for 10 percent tariffs on remaining Chinese imports to buoy holiday sales. This affects half of the $300 billion target list of Chinese goods, delaying duties on mobile phones, laptops and other consumer goods. Trump’s tariffs will be effective from December 15 for thousands of products, including clothing and footwear. *)Saudi activist rejects release tied to denying torture – family Imprisoned activist Loujain al Hathloul’s family said she rejected a release deal which Saudi Arabia offered in exchange for a video denying she was tortured. Hathloul, along with at least a dozen other women’s rights activists, were arrested as Saudi Arabia ended a ban on women driving over a year ago. Rights groups say Hathloul and two other women were in solitary confinement for months and their abuse included shocks, flogging and sexual assault. *)Opera’s Domingo faces sexual harassment probe, shows cancelled And finally, Two venues cancelled concerts by Placido Domingo, and the Los Angeles Opera has opened an investigation into allegations of his sexual harassment. Several women told the Associated Press the opera singer used his power at the LA Opera and elsewhere to pressure them into sexual relationships. The 78-year-old is one of opera’s most powerful figures, and dozens of people have said his forced sexual advances were an open secret.

Loujain al-Hathloul is a Saudi political prisoner. She has campaigned for women's rights: the right to drive; the right to live an independent life, without male guardianship; the right to be free of domestic abuse. In prison, she has been tortured. Her family stayed silent for eight months, thinking that was the right strategy. But then they decided to speak out. Loujain's brother Walid is doing... Source
Wer sich in Saudi-Arabien für die Rechte von Frauen einsetzt lebt gefährlich. So erging es auch der 29jährigen Loujain-al Hathloul, die seit einem Jahr im Gefängnis sitzt. Die Familie kämpft um ihre Freilassung.
Loujain al-Hathloul defied the ban on women driving cars in Saudi Arabia when she filmed herself driving and posted her videos on YouTube.That was nearly a year ago.After the driving ban was lifted, Hathloul and other activists were put in jail anyway.She remains in prison, and now there are reports she's being tortured. A hearing on her case was postponed last week but the judge didn't give a reason why. Walid al-Hathloul, right, poses for a photo with his sister, Loujain al-Hathloul, who has been in Saudi prison for more than a year. Credit: Courtesy of Walid al-Hathloul Loujain's brother is Walid al-Hathloul, who has been speaking to US media to bring attention to his sister's case. "She's holding up right now. She's recovering from, you know, the experience she went through — brutal torture and sexual harassment," Hathloul explains. "That was happening in a secret facility that is outside the jail in Jeddah and that was like in a facility that looks like a hotel."Hathloul says his sister noticed Saud al-Qahtani at one of the torture sessions. Qahtani, a former adviser to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, vanished in the wake of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. He is suspected of playing a major role in the killing of Khashoggi. Halthloul spoke to The World's Marco Werman about his sister's imprisonment and trial delay. Marco Werman: Are your parents worried about their own safety? I mean, if your sister was in an interrogation with an associate of the crown prince, I'd think that might make them a little nervous.I believe like everyone in Saudi Arabia is nervous right now. The fact is, the way they arrested Loujain, armed men got into the house without like a permit and they got Loujain and for one month we didn't know where she was.Related: Saudi Arabia loosened some of its strict social rules, but intimidation of activists continuesIn support of your sister, Walid, you've gone to Capitol Hill, you've addressed Congress, you've asked singer Mariah Carey and producer Akon to speak out. They both have business connections to Saudi, performing there specifically. What do you hope they do on Loujain's behalf?To speak out and address the issues. But the fact is, you know, I wrote an op-ed addressing that to Mariah Carey but she hasn't responded to it. And she insisted to go, well, that's fine if you want to go into Saudi Arabia, that's fine. But what I was asking for is just to speak out for Loujain and other women. But she did not.I mean you're taking a gamble, in a way. You're bringing attention to Loujain's plight, but do you worry that speaking out will possibly make things worse for her?We thought at the beginning that being silent would solve the issue. The fact is, we stayed silent for eight months and we thought that would help her. But after eight months, we found out this madness — the torture, the sexual harassment, the bad treatment — and now we are left out with no options but to speak out.Related: Saudi women can drive. But gender equality isn’t yet ‘mainstream.’You told our partners at the BBC that Loujain was so traumatized by what she went through during interrogations that she actually wants to remain in jail. Given all of that, why do you think your sister wants to stay in jail?It's because of how they damage her reputation and that getting out of jail with a bad reputation would not help with the opportunities, such as finding a job and so on.Do you think leaving prison might actually be a risk to her own personal security — like, would people want her dead?I don't think that would happen but it's just about the fact that she wouldn't live a normal life. What people would not see her like you know the way they saw her at the beginning when she was arrested, when they labeled her as a traitor and this is what has been published in local newspapers.Walid, what do you think is going to happen to your sister's case?Honestly, I don't know. I wish [I had] the answer for that but I don't think anybody would know what will happen.This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.

Also archived on the Radio Canada Int'l Facebook page) ListenEN_The_Link-20190315-WEE15 U.N. report on environment: humanity is at a crossroads Smog and dust like that seen in New Delhi on Nov. 10, 2017 are among the many threats to human health documented in a comprehensive UN report. (Altaf Qadri/AP Photo) It's a dire report that ties climate change and other environmental issues together and predicts that millions of people will die without urgent action on these issues. The report says the world has the technology and the money to make the changes, but people in positions of power or influence, meaning politicians and business leaders, must stop thinking in old ways Lynn spoke to Tim Gray, executive director of Environmental Defence, a non-profit environmental group. Saudi escalation against human rights activism Loujain al-Hathloul, who graduated from university in Canada, has spent nearly 10 months in prison on charges of supporting 'hostile elements.' She and other Saudi activists went on trial Wednesday morning.(Loujain al-Hathloul/AP) The Saudi Arabian regime appears to be hardening its position against human rights activists in the country. Eleven women appeared in court this month to face charges for their peaceful activism. Two activists have connections to Canada. One of them is the sister of blogger Raif Badawi who was given 50 lashes for his posts and who remains in prison. His wife and children are living in Canada. Canada and about 3 dozen other countries have signed a statement condemning the arrests of the women last May. Terry spoke to Jacqueline Hansen, Amnesty International Canada’s Major Campaigns and Women’s Rights Campaigner, The political scandal in Canada facing Justin Trudeau, continues Jody Wilson-Raybould former Attorney-General told the justice committee she was ‘hounded’ about the SNC-Lavalin criminal prosecution by top Liberal officials, even the Prime Minister. (Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press/Feb. 27, 2019) The scandal which broke in the news weeks ago has tarnished the Liberal party and the personal reputation of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. It concerns allegations of political interference in a legal case against the giant engineering firm SNC Lavalin, charged with bribery and fraud. The allegations concern undue pressure on the then Attorney Journey Jody Wilson-Raybould, who quit the Trudeau cabinet over the issue. The latest uproar came when the Liberal majority on the all-party Justice Committee shut down an emergency meeting almost as soon as it started causing an uproar among opposition members. Marc spoke to political studies professor Jennifer Wallner (PhD) of the University of Ottawa about this latest event and the ongoing scandal.

Om Shahad som flydde från sin familj i Saudiarabien och prinsessan som försökte lämna sin på ytan glamorösa tillvaro i Dubai. Om platser som vill framstå som moderna och öppna men där uråldriga kvinnoförtryck är inskrivna i lagar. En natt för två år sedan under en semesterresa till Turkiet tog saudiska Shahad al-Mohaimeed, som hon numera kallar sig, familjens pass, pengar och mobiltelefoner och flydde i en taxi till grannlandet Georgien. Där fick hon hjälp att söka asyl och hamnade till sist i Sverige. För Konflikts Ivar Ekman berättar hon om sin egen flykt och tillvaron som ung kvinna i Saudiarabien, men också om hur hon hjälpte Rahaf, den saudiska kvinna som i slutet av förra året blev en världsnyhet när hon låste in sig på ett hotell i Bangkok för att fly från sin familj. Saudiarabiens de facto-ledare, kronprinsen Mohammed Bin Salman, har intensivt försökt odla en bild av att landet genomgår viktiga reformer, bland annat genom beskedet i somras att kvinnor ska få börja köra bil. Men samtidigt nyttjas de lagar som strikt reglerar vad en kvinna får och inte får göra. Hör Loujain el-Hathloul, en av den saudiska kvinnokampens verkliga förgrundsgestalter. När vår Mellanösternkorrespondent Cecilia Uddén och Sveriges Radios dåvarande korrespondenttrainee Nivette Dawod träffade Loujain för tre år sedan hade hon just suttit i fängelse efter att ha begått brottet att köra bil som kvinna. Då var hon ändå hoppfull om att Saudiarabien var på väg åt rätt håll, nu sitter hon i fängelse på nytt. Ett annat land som arbetar intensivt med att odla sin image som ett modernt och framgångsrikt land är Förenade Arabemiraten. Och det är också en plats som är betydligt mer öppen och tolerant än exempelvis grannlandet Saudiarabien. Kvinnor kör bil, gör karriär och måste inte bära slöja. Men det är en diktatur med stora klassklyftor, där vissa brott kan leda till dödsstraff och där uråldriga lagar kring äktenskap fortfarande gäller. Konflikts Sally Henriksson reste till nöjesmeckat Dubai som med sina skinande skyskrapor lockar såväl turister som karriärsdrivna västerlänningar. Men som också är den plats som en prinsessa försökte fly från, trots hennes till ytan glamorösa tillvaro som dotter till Dubais mäktigaste - emiren Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum. Hör bland andra Mustafa al-Zarooni, Förenade arabemiraten-redaktör på en av de största dagstidningar, Khaleej Times, och ordförande för landets journalistförbund. Och journalisten Margaret Coker, tidigare medarbetare för New York Times, som bor i Dubai. Prinsessan Latifa tycktes i mångas ögon ha allt, ett både rikt och spännande liv. Hon hoppade fallskärm och roade sig på olika sätt. Men i hemlighet planerade hon under många år sin flykt. För ett år sedan gav hon sig iväg med hjälp av bland andra sin finska vän Tiina Jauhiainen, men de stoppades på internationellt vatten och hämtades tillbaka till Dubai. Första livstecknet från Latifa kom i december förra året när bilder kablades ut på henne tillsammans med Mary Robinson, som tidigare arbetat med mänkliga rättigheter för FN, som intygade att hon har det bra under "familjens kärleksfulla omsorg". Konflikts Anna Roxvall intervjuar Tiina Jauhiainen, och berättar historien om prinsessan Latifa och hennes flyktförsök.
