Jones was diagnosed with long Covid in early 2022- but she's grateful to be back in the game this year. "By the end of last year, I was in full health again. It's been a bit of a ride, but I'm just grateful to be back and feeling how I am." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reparti pour un 6e tour, le président ougandais a été investi officiellement ce mercredi 12 mai lors d’une cérémonie dans la capitale Kampala. Cela fait évidemment la Une de la presse ougandaise. Le Daily Monitor revient tout d’abord sur « ce que Yoweri Museveni a promis lors de son discours inaugural ». Le journal publie l’intégralité du discours et il met notamment l’accent sur les promesses économiques, sur « l’optimisme » de Yoweri Museveni. Le chef de l'État garantit « que l'économie ougandaise connaîtra une croissance de l'ordre de 9 à 10 % lorsque le pays commencera sa production commerciale » de pétrole, soit à l’horizon 2026 et la fin de son nouveau mandat. Plus largement, nous dit le PML Daily, lors de cette cérémonie sur le terrain de l’indépendance de Kololo, « l'homme de 76 ans, vêtu d'un costume bleu foncé et de son chapeau à larges bords, a promis de prêter une véritable allégeance à son pays ». Un pays « qu'il dirige sans interruption depuis sa prise de pouvoir en tant que chef rebelle » en 1986, rappelle le PML Daily, c’était il y a 35 ans. Une opposition muselée Alors que « Museveni démarre pour cinq ans de plus, l’opposition est étouffée », affiche le Daily Monitor. Pour la cérémonie, « une foule enthousiaste de près de 4 000 invités, dont 11 chefs d'État africains et 33 dignitaires étrangers », mais le dauphin de l’élection qui conteste toujours le résultat, Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine, était, lui, « discrètement hors de vue, apparemment sans voix », écrit le Daily Monitor. Cette investiture « était peut-être le point culminant de la saison électorale ougandaise », relève le journal. Une saison électorale qui « a coûté la vie à plus de 50 personnes en seulement deux jours de novembre, l'année dernière à la suite de l'arrestation de Bobi Wine et des émeutes dans le district de Luuka ». À la veille de la cérémonie d'ailleurs, le parti de Bobi Wine a encore dénoncé de nouvelles arrestations. The Independent nous décrit justement les rues quasi désertes ce mercredi à Kampala, une capitale au ralenti. « Aucun client », témoigne Sofia vendeuse au marché de Kibuye. Ses clients sont généralement des travailleurs qui passent le soir en rentrant, explique-t-elle, mais avec « les opérations de sécurité accrues dans le centre-ville et des centaines de personnes arrêtées pour avoir enfreint les directives du couvre-feu nocturne, les gens ont peur ». Prossy, un autre vendeur du marché de Katwe, parle même d’un « harcèlement des forces de sécurité ». C'est suffisant, selon lui, « pour effrayer les gens ». Une investiture suivie à l'international Les presses de chaque pays reviennent sur le déplacement de leur représentant. L'APS, l'agence de presse algérienne, nous apprend que c'est le ministre des Affaires étrangères Sabri Boukadoum qui a fait le déplacement. Gabon Matin nous dit que c'est la Première ministre gabonaise Rose Christiane Ossouka Raponda qui a représenté Ali Bongo. Parmi les chefs d'État, Felix Tshiesekedi était de la partie, nous dit Politico en RDC. Tout comme le président kényan Uhuru Kényatta, on le lit chez Nairobi News. Mais un homme a brillé par son absence, souligne aussi le site kényan, c'est le président rwandais Paul Kagame, « manifestement absent ». De quoi alimenter « les spéculations sur une tension accrue entre les deux pays ». Nairobi News rappelle au passage que le Rwanda a fermé la principale frontière avec l'Ouganda, à Gatuna, au cours des deux dernières années. Au delà-de ça, c'est la longévité de Yoweri Museveni qui revient beaucoup dans la presse internationale, chez Voice of America notamment. Oui, "Comme il l'a fait cinq fois auparavant, le président ougandais Yoweri Museveni a prêté serment", relate non sans ironie le site américain. Et il note lui aussi la répression qui a valu des critiques au président ougandais. Critiques balayées mercredi à Kampala, nous apprend enfin VOA. Yoweri Museveni a « déclaré que les étrangers n'avaient pas le droit de lui apprendre la démocratie ». Dans la presse également, les vœux du président français à son homologue béninois « Emmanuel Macron s’est enfin décidé à adresser ses félicitations à Patrice Talon », note Matin Libre. Une lettre officielle envoyée de Paris qui intervient près d’un mois après la réélection du président béninois pour un nouveau mandat de cinq ans, observe également la Nouvelle Tribune. Le président français souhaite ses vœux de succès, mais dans sa correspondance, relate encore la Nouvelle Tribune, « le chef de l’Élysée n’a pas occulté les tensions et les actes de violences qui ont été enregistrés dans le pays pendant la période préélectorale ». « Oui, confirme Matin Libre, le Chef de l’État français n’a pas manqué de revenir sur le climat sociopolitique délétère, qui a caractérisé cette présidentielle du 11 avril, à l’instar des législatives de 2019 ». Matin Libre relève qu'Emmanuel Macron fait des recommandations, quant à la gestion de cette crise, « caractérisée par l’emprisonnement d’une kyrielle d’opposants ». « Dialogue, apaisement et justice Impartiale », voilà ce que recommande le président français, conclut l'article. Et notons au passage qu'Emmanuel Macron n'est pas le seul à envoyer ses vœux tardivement. 24H au Bénin nous dit que le roi des Pays-Bas a fait de même.

Po letnej prestávke prichádza nová séria podcastu Modrá vlna. Európu čaká zaujímavá a zároveň aj trochu konfliktná jeseň, pretože na stole je rámcový rozpočet Únie na najbližších sedem rokov a spolu s ním mimoriadny balík určený na obnovu európskych ekonomík postihnutých dôsledkami pandémie Covid-19. No a s tým samozrejme súvisí aj príprava nášho národného plánu obnovy a reforiem. Som si istý, že hľadanie dohody vo vládnej koalícii o politických prioritách a peniazoch nebude ani jednoduché, ani pokojné. A neprekvapilo by ma ani to, ak by poslanci Národnej rady prišli s požiadavkou zapojiť náš domáci parlament do rozhodovania o budúcich reformách ešte predtým, než ich Komisia v apríli definitívne schváli – podobnú ambíciu už totiž avizovali aj hlavné politické skupiny v Európskom parlamente. No je tu aj návrh nástrojov na monitorovanie fungovania právneho štátu v členských štátoch EÚ vrátane automatických finančných sankcií. A aby to bolo ešte komplikovanejšie, A zdrojom konfliktu môžu byť aj návrhy na zavedenie nových vlastných zdrojov, čiže príjmov európskeho rozpočtu, jednoducho povedané, nových daní. A ďalší návrh na reformu azylového systému, čo znamená, že sa bude hovoriť aj o kvótach. Do toho určite prídu snahy o harmonizáciu opatrení proti šíreniu pandémie, ďalšie protesty proti noseniu rúšok a pravdepodobne asi sto iných vecí. Bude veselo. Nuž a práve preto budem dnes hovoriť o niečom celkom inom – o knihe Luuka van Middelaara ktorá má názov “Alarums and Excursions” a o jeho myšlienke, že na európskej úrovni existujú dva typy rozhodovania: rozhodovanie o pravidlách a rozhodovanie o reakciách na neplánované a nečakané udalosti. Nebudem hovoriť sám – mojím spoludiskutérom je Dalibor Roháč, zahraničnopolitický analytik, publicista a autor dvoch kníh, jednej o globalizme a druhej o Európskej únii.

When Callum Gilbert was 12 he started paddling after school.A couple of years later he got a taste for paddling competitively while at Tauranga Boys' College, sparking a long love of canoe slalom as a sport.Today, the Tauranga man now living in Rotorua is one of two paddlers named to represent New Zealand in canoe slalom at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.The Olympics newcomer joins Luka Jones, who secured New Zealand's first silver medal in the discipline, in the New Zealand team.Alexandra paddler Finn Butcher has been conditionally selected as a non-travelling reserve.The canoe slalom athletes were named at an event at Wero Whitewater Park - the home of Canoe Slalom New Zealand's High Performance Centre - in Auckland today.Tokyo 2020 will be the fourth Olympic Games for 31-year-old Jones, while Gilbert will be making his Olympic debut after giving up his job as a software engineer three years ago to chase his sporting dreams."My employers were great but I wasn't able to give 100 per cent to my training while I was there so I made the decision to resign. Looking back on it now it was a good decision and it's been awesome being able to fully commit to the sport," Gilbert says."It's an amazing opportunity to go to an Olympic Games and I've been really fortunate to have gone to so many," Jones says.Gilbert will compete in the K1, while Jones will compete in both the K1 and C1 events."I'm over the moon, it's been a long time coming and a lot of work has gone into this so I'm so stoked to have it made official," 24-year-old Gilbert says.Callum Gilbert, a former Tauranga man now living in Rotorua, has been selected for the Tokyo Olympics. Photo / Getty Images"Competing in both events adds another element to the Olympic Games and it's an awesome opportunity to earn a medal," Jones says."My goal is the same as it was at Rio 2016 and that's to prepare really well and put down a performance that I can be proud of. We're working really hard and I'm in a really good place in my paddling career, from a performance perspective."Both athletes are originally from Tauranga but have strong ties in Rotorua. Jones was part of a Rotorua-based sports academy launched in 2007 and Gilbert now lives at Okere Falls, 20km north of Rotorua."When I was 12, I got into an after school paddling class then, when I attended Tauranga Boys' College, a teacher picked a few of us to attend nationals. From there, I loved it and that was it."Gilbert had a strong year on the world tour in 2019, with his top result fifth at the London World Cup.He plans to head overseas to train and compete in further World Cups while Jones will also be based overseas from mid-April.New Zealand Olympic Committee chief executive Kereyn Smith says Jones and Gilbert provide an exciting mix of talent."With Callum also selected there's a great mixture of experience and exciting new talent in this team so we can't wait to watch these athletes compete in Tokyo."Jones is coached by former British paddler Campbell Walsh while Gilbert is coached by Paul Macdermid of Massey University.
