In this episode I read a listener email. She wants to know why she can't stop working on projects that are not due yet and avoiding tasks that are due very soon, despite not liking to work under pressure. I have some thoughts and it all comes down to this - at some point we have to decide that we want to believe in what neuroscience tells us about our ADHD brain.

Med en »handlingslammet midte« samler opmærksomheden sig om især de højrenationale kandidater før næste års præsidentvalg i Frankrig. Marine Le Pen og den unge kronprins, Jordan Bardella, står stærkt i front for Rassemblement National, men også den tidligere premierminister Édouard Philippe begynder at ligne en mand, der kunne blive en ny centrum-højre præsident. Hvad bliver afgørende for, hvem der i sidste ende vinder franskmændenes gunst? Og hvad er det for et Frankrig, Emmanuel Macron giver videre efter 10 år ved magten?

Brezilya'da Lula, Türkiye'de Ekrem İmamoğlu, Fransa'da Le Pen ve Romanya'da Georgescu son yıllarda yargının oyunun dışına ittiği siyasetçiler oldular. Bu dava süreçleri yargının siyallaşması olarak değerlendirildi.Bu tip siyasetçiler ya basit ya da ucuz diyeceğimiz suçlardan ya da rakiplerine uygulanmayan kararlardan mahkum oldular. Peki siyasetçilere herhangi bir ceza vermemek mi gerekiyor, siyasi yasak davası anti-demokratik mi, yargı gerçekten bağımsız hakem rolünde mi, toplumun kanıksadığı suçları sırf siyasi rekabet zarar görmesin diye görmezden mi geleceğiz gibi sorular ve daha fazlası bu videoda.00:00 - Giriş01:07 - Lula'nın hikayesi10:35 - Georgescu'nun hikayesi14:36 - Ekrem İmamoğlu'nun hikayesi 18:43 - Le Pen'in hikayesi 26:13 - Lawfare 29:10 - Ekrem İmamoğlu'nun yargı sürecinin zamanlaması31:44 - Argümanları karşılaştırma35:20 - Gramsci ve Althusser41:03 - Yargı neden yeni tasfiye aracı oldu?

In this episode of The International Risk Podcast, host Dominic Bowen is joined by Lord Peter Ricketts, the UK's first National Security Advisor, former Permanent Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office, and former British Ambassador to France, to unpack what Andy Burnham's rise to Downing Street means for Britain's place in the world.Ricketts examines why Burnham, arriving as the UK's seventh Prime Minister in ten years with almost no track record on foreign policy, inherits a fragile but consequential legacy from Keir Starmer, from steadfast support for Ukraine to a more assertive European security posture. He explains why personal relationships between world leaders are not a soft add-on but a genuine strategic asset, why Burnham will have to build trust with Trump, Macron, and Merz essentially from scratch, and why a hard right shift in France under Marine Le Pen could complicate cooperation on defence and migration. The conversation also covers the Strategic Defence Review's warnings on warfighting readiness, the sobering "letters of last resort" every new Prime Minister must write for Britain's nuclear submarines, and why Britain's credibility in NATO depends on defence spending it may struggle to sustain.Key topics discussed:Why Burnham's political style raises real questions about his readiness for crisis decision makingWhy personal relationships between leaders matter as much as institutions and interestsThe risk that a Le Pen led France could complicate UK-EU defence and migration cooperationWhy continuity on Ukraine is critical, and the spending trade-offs Burnham will face at homeWhat Britain needs to do to keep pulling its weight in NATOThe reality of nuclear command responsibility that awaits every incoming Prime MinisterThe international risks Lord Ricketts is watching most closely today, from war in Europe to climate changeThis episode is relevant to anyone interested in international relations, defence policy, European security, diplomacy, or international risk.

This weeks ai slop is served up by DeepSeek v4 Pro. I tried to use Kimi but it got stuck generating the notes. So now you get this. Could be worse. Episode SummaryJack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack return for a wide-ranging conversation that spans the turbulent state of Australian politics and the precarious state of global affairs. The episode opens with striking Redbridge polling data suggesting One Nation could pick up as many as 19 seats in the upcoming Victorian state election -- a result that would leave neither major party able to form government in its own right. The Jacks explore the mechanics of minority government, the prospect of a marriage of convenience between the Liberals and One Nation, and whether Labor voters in protest mode could deliver One Nation unexpected inroads into heartland seats.The domestic focus then shifts to the Australian economy. Drawing on former ACTU Secretary Bill Kelty's recent analysis, the hosts dissect a bureaucracy more concerned with treating symptoms than causes, lamenting squandered billions on unused quarantine centres, infrastructure costs among the highest in the world, and a housing crisis driven by a failure to train enough workers. The conversation turns to political courage -- or the lack of it -- comparing today's risk-averse governing class with the Hawke-Keating reform era, when fringe benefits tax was meant to kill the long lunch but somehow did not.A spirited defence of Emerge Australia -- an advocacy group training GPs to diagnose and treat myalgic encephalomyelitis (chronic fatigue syndrome) -- highlights the government's decision to cut a mere $400,000 in funding, a move Jack the Insider brands disgraceful for an organisation serving an estimated 250,000 Australians. Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme reform also gets a hearing, with pharmaceutical companies increasingly bypassing Australia for clinical trials.Internationally, the Jacks confront the escalating dangers of the Russia-Ukraine war. With Ukraine making Crimea increasingly uninhabitable and Vladimir Putin backed into a corner, the prospect of an attack on a NATO or NATO-aligned state looms. The conversation covers Russia's cancelled bond sale, the shifting power dynamic between Putin and Xi Jinping, and thousands of Russian passports arriving in Moldova -- a familiar prelude to intervention. On Iran, the hosts reflect on the Trump administration's military strikes, oil climbing past USD 100 a barrel, and the political consequences for the upcoming US midterm elections.The episode closes with sport: the FIFA World Cup (and Argentina's remarkable ability to unify the football world in mutual disdain), the AFL's handling of the Nicky Winmar domestic violence case and questions of consistency, the end of the Bazball era in English Test cricket, a warm tribute to the late Sir Garfield Sobers, and rugby union's new Nations Championship format.Timestamped Highlights(All timestamps adjusted +25 seconds to account for theme music.)00:00:26 -- Introduction and Banter Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack open the show trading observations on air conditioning, long lunches, and the perils of sitting directly beneath the vent.00:01:32 -- One Nation's Victorian Polling Surge Redbridge polling data indicates One Nation could win as many as 19 seats in the Victorian state election. In an 88-seat legislature, that would make a majority for either major party almost impossible.00:02:52 -- Minority Government Mechanics Hong Kong Jack explains the constitutional pathway: if no party wins a majority, the sitting Premier gets the first conversation with the Governor and may be recommissioned to form government.00:04:20 -- A Three-Cornered Contest Jack the Insider argues the Allan government is at the end of the road, but the Liberal alternative inspires little confidence. One Nation may poll well in Labor heartland seats as protest voters look for an outlet that is not the Liberal Party.00:06:33 -- The Polling vs. the Pencil Hong Kong Jack predicts One Nation's polling numbers will soften once voters are alone in the booth with an HB pencil hovering over the ballot paper.00:08:32 -- Commonwealth Games Land in Glasgow The hosts acknowledge the Commonwealth Games have begun -- in Glasgow, not Victoria. The opening ceremony featured King Charles and Queen Camilla emerging from a Doctor Who TARDIS.00:10:50 -- Pauline Hanson and the Tommy Robinson Interview The Jacks dissect Hanson's decision to interview the controversial British figure, with Hong Kong Jack arguing the motivation is straightforward: publicity, good or bad.00:12:12 -- Factions Within One Nation Barnaby Joyce's visible discomfort with the Robinson interview signals internal tensions. Jack the Insider warns One Nation risks veering further towards the "lunar right."00:13:30 -- Two Australias: The Great Dog Divide A detour into the changing culture of pet ownership. Jack the Insider contrasts the utilitarian farm dogs of his Reservoir childhood with the multi-billion-dollar industry of designer dog beds, pushchairs, and booties.00:15:59 -- Bill Kelty's Economic Diagnosis Former ACTU Secretary Bill Kelty delivers a blunt assessment: Australian governments have spent decades treating symptoms rather than causes -- quarantine centres never used, infrastructure costs at world-record levels, a housing crisis born of under-investment in skills.00:17:59 -- The Courage Deficit Hong Kong Jack argues the current government, like its recent predecessors, lacks political boldness. The Prime Minister's Labor conference speech seemed "spooked by One Nation" rather than offering a growth narrative.00:19:22 -- The Keating Comparison Jack the Insider revisits the Hawke-Keating reform era, noting the howls of outrage that greeted early reforms -- including fringe benefits tax, which was meant to "kill lunch" but somehow did not. The difference today: social media amplifies every backlash.00:23:02 -- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Funding Cut An urgent segment on the defunding of Emerge Australia, an advocacy group that has trained roughly 10% of the nation's GPs in diagnosing and treating ME/CFS. The cut amounts to approximately $400,000 -- a sum Jack the Insider describes as negligible in public expenditure but catastrophic for the 250,000 Australians living with the condition.00:26:37 -- The PBS and Australia's Clinical Trial Problem Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly bypassing Australia for clinical trials, leaving patients with rare conditions to raise extraordinary sums for overseas treatment. The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme's pricing structure may require root-and-branch reform, particularly for newly developed drugs.00:29:50 -- What Should Labor Do About One Nation? Hong Kong Jack's prescription is simple: fix the economy and stop saying silly things. One Nation will wither on the vine if economic growth returns.00:30:17 -- Derryn Hinch: The Human Headline Remembered The former broadcaster, senator, and Justice Party founder has died aged 82. The Jacks reflect on a complicated legacy -- a man who transformed Melbourne talkback radio and tabloid television, was twice married to Jacki Weaver, and whose profound impact on the media is tempered by a deeply troubling intervention in the justice system.00:32:00 -- The Glennon Case: When a Headline Cost Children Their Safety Jack the Insider recounts in detail how Hinch's decision to publicly name convicted paedophile priest Michael Glennon during an active trial led to the suspension of proceedings, an eventual overturned conviction, and a four-year window in which Glennon continued operating camps and abusing children -- as many as 20 additional victims.00:38:14 -- Hinch's Media Legacy Despite the Glennon tragedy, Hong Kong Jack credits Hinch with changing the sound of Melbourne radio. The talkback format he pioneered arguably saved stations like 3AW.00:40:32 -- Ukraine and the Battle for Crimea The Ukrainians cannot hold Crimea, but they are making it unliveable. Water, electricity, and supplies have been cut. Crimeans are fleeing en masse. The Russian Black Sea Fleet has effectively ceased to exist.00:42:13 -- Putin Backed Into a Corner Jack the Insider warns that Vladimir Putin, when cornered, does not act rationally. The spectre of an attack on a NATO country -- perhaps a Baltic state -- or on Moldova is real. Putin cannot sue for peace; it would mean the end of him.00:44:21 -- Russia's Economic Pressure Points Hong Kong Jack notes that Russia cancelled a regular bond sale last week after failing to find buyers. The economic squeeze is mounting. Putin and his deeply unpopular party are now being fused together ahead of elections.00:47:13 -- Russian Passports Arrive in Moldova Thousands of Russian passports have been shipped to Moldova -- the same playbook used in Crimea and eastern Ukraine before intervention.00:49:32 -- Iran, the Houthis, and Oil Above USD 100 US strikes on Iran continue. Houthi attacks in the Red Sea have struck oil tankers. The price of crude has pushed past USD 100 a barrel -- a politically dangerous number for Donald Trump four months out from the midterms.00:50:33 -- The Netanyahu Pitch for Regime Change Jack the Insider recounts the scene from Swan and Haberman's book: Benjamin Netanyahu presenting a case for US-Israeli combined bombing to achieve regime change in Iran. Trump was impressed; Marco Rubio and the CIA director were not.00:52:56 -- US Midterms: The Democratic Candidate Problem The Democrats' prospects are muddied by candidate issues including the withdrawal of Graham Plattner over sexual assault allegations and the party's persistent inability to select candidates who genuinely connect with the white working class.00:54:40 -- Tim Waltz, John Kerry, and Authenticity Hong Kong Jack contrasts the Democrats' clumsy attempts to project authenticity -- Tim Waltz hunting, John Kerry windsurfing -- with the reality that Kerry was an ice hockey player who once attended a White House meeting with two black eyes from a congressional game.00:58:19 -- The Sickness in American Democracy Jack the Insider argues the two-party lock on presidential politics -- achieved partly by keeping third-party candidates off ballots in roughly 30 states -- is profoundly undemocratic. With 40% of voters now registering as independents, millions have no candidate who represents them.00:59:43 -- Can Trump Disrupt the Midterms? Hong Kong Jack analyses the constitutional limits on presidential interference in state-run elections. Any attempt to use emergency powers would go straight to court.01:03:43 -- Marine Le Pen: France's Next President? Polling around 67%, Le Pen is the frontrunner for the French presidential election. Her felony conviction for misusing EU funds appears to be no impediment.01:05:09 -- Andy Burnham's Fast Start as UK Prime Minister The new PM has hit the ground running with popular measures: a GBP 2 bus fare cap across England, 20% business rate cuts for pubs, clubs, and live music venues, and the scrapping of VAT on domestic electricity bills.01:07:36 -- Britain's Investment Challenge The biggest test for Burnham will be attracting investment. The UK has 11 million working-age citizens on benefits -- a figure now exceeding tax receipts.01:09:03 -- FIFA World Cup: Argentina Triumphs, Trump Photobombs Argentina are world champions, but not before a petition signed by millions demanded their exclusion from the final. Donald Trump appeared on the podium; the Spanish commemorative photos, the Jacks note, did not include him.01:11:07 -- The Refereeing and the Expansion The officiating was patchy, but the expanded tournament format was vindicated. Seeing Cape Verde, Australia, New Zealand, and Iran compete gave the event a genuinely global feel.01:14:23 -- Nicky Winmar, the AFL Hall of Fame, and Domestic Violence The Jacks grapple with the AFL's removal of Winmar from the Hall of Fame following a domestic violence conviction. Jack the Insider questions the consistency: Wayne Carey and Gary Ablett Sr. remain honoured. Hong Kong Jack suggests a suspension rather than permanent expulsion would have been more appropriate, arguing that football cannot be reserved for choirboys.01:19:06 -- Bazball's End: The McCallum Era Concludes Baz McCallum is out as England's Test coach after 49 Tests: 27 wins, 20 losses. Ten of the first eleven were victories; seven of the last nine were defeats. The hosts debate whether Bazball added to cricket's audience even if it could not sustainably win Test matches.01:23:20 -- Sir Garfield Sobers: The Greatest of All Time A warm tribute to the late West Indian legend. Jack the Insider recalls meeting Sobers at the Hilton in Barbados. Hong Kong Jack shares the story of Sobers -- completely ambidextrous -- playing golf off scratch left-handed and off two right-handed.01:27:53 -- Rugby Union's Nations Championship A new format pits Northern Hemisphere sides against Southern Hemisphere sides, culminating in finals at Twickenham. Hong Kong Jack is sceptical anyone will care which hemisphere wins. The 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia, however, is selling tickets strongly.01:30:00 -- Sign-Off Jack the Insider thanks listeners and apologises for the previous week's absence due to illness. The hosts promise to return on or around 31 July, though Hong Kong Jack advises against buying "20-year futures in us."Social Media PostsTwitter / XPost 1: One Nation could win up to 19 seats in the Victorian election.

Keiko Fujimori em comício de campanha, Peru, 2026. Foto: Renato Pajuelo/EFE. O que a vitória de Keiko Fujimori no Peru e a de Abelardo de la Espriella na Colômbia têm em comum com mais de duzentos anos de política externa americana para a região? Para Carolina Silva Pedroso, professora adjunta na Unifesp e pesquisadora vinculada ao Instituto Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia para Estudos sobre os Estados Unidos (INCT-INEU), a resposta está na ideia da América Latina como “quintal dos Estados Unidos”. Neste episódio, produzido em parceria com o Observatório da Extrema-Direita, David Magalhães e Guilherme Casarões recebem Carolina para discutir a nova onda da direita radical na região, os mitos que cercam a Venezuela chavista, entre eles a suposta fraude sistemática nas urnas eletrônicas, e a forma como o apoio explícito de Washington tem funcionado como variável interveniente no fortalecimento dessas lideranças. No bloco de notícias, David percorre seis frentes do avanço da ultradireita global, da disputa entre Jordan Bardella e Marine Le Pen pela candidatura do Rassemblement National na França à defesa do gás russo feita por Alice Weidel, da AfD alemã, passando pela viagem transnacional da senadora australiana Pauline Hanson ao Reino Unido, pelo mainstreaming dos Democratas Suecos, pelo fracasso de um projeto de perda de nacionalidade em Portugal e pela relação entre futebol e o passado ustacha na Croácia.

Marine Le Pen is expected to make her fourth run at the French presidency sporting a unique accessory: an ankle tag. The scandal-plagued National Rally leader has gained ground with each attempt and the far-right may never have been so close to power. So how did we get here? From the Dreyfus affair and the collapse of the French military in WW2 to the rise of the Le Pen dynasty, Enda O'Doherty – author of The Dark Side of France: Thirteen Chapters in the History of the French Far Right – joins Alex von Tunzelmann to trace the country's complicated political past. • Buy Enda's book The Dark Side of France: Thirteen Chapters in the History of the French Far Right from our affiliate bookshop and you'll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

Fransa'da Le Pen, İtalya'da Meloni ya da Danimarka'da Pia Kjærsgaard kadın milliyetçi ve aşırı sağ liderlerin arttığını gösteriyor. Peki bunun sebebi ne? Aşırı sağ nasıl kadın siyaseti ve feminist argümanlarla birleşiyor. 49W'dan Mehmet Yaşar Altundağ bunu femonationalism kavramıyla açıklıyor. Femonationalism, Sara Farris tarafından yazılmış bir kitap ve ortaya konmuş bir kavram. Köln'de başlayan olaylardan yola çıkarak Avrupa'da değişen siyaset ve sosyolojiye dair yeni tartışmaları 49W ile takip edin.
Marine Le Pen relance sa campagne présidentielle avec un vieux classique du RN : l'interdiction du voile dans l'espace public. Un sujet qui révèle surtout les tensions entre les deux têtes d'affiche du parti. Car si Jordan Bardella préfère repousser la mesure, jugée politiquement inflammable, sa mentor refuse d'abandonner un marqueur historique de la famille Le Pen.Pour contourner les obstacles constitutionnels, le RN mise désormais sur une arme juridique : le référendum. Une solution bien pratique pour opposer la « volonté du peuple » aux juges... exactement la rhétorique utilisée par Marine Le Pen depuis ses ennuis judiciaires.Sauf que cette parade est loin d'être aussi simple. Encore faut-il que le référendum soit juridiquement possible, et même adopté, il ne mettrait pas la France à l'abri du contrôle des juges européens.Derrière les changements de vocabulaire — « voile », puis « idéologie islamiste » — la cible reste la même. Le RN transforme une pratique religieuse en problème politique et recycle une vieille mécanique de l'extrême droite : fabriquer un ennemi intérieur pour mieux rassembler autour de la peur.
This is a super-sized 70 minute Patreon only episode but I'm giving you the first 15 minutes! In this episode: I talk about how my planned personal retreat fell apart, and what therapy helped me see underneath it was that a week of feeling overwhelmed and behind was really unfelt feelings and delayed emotional processing and disguise. I get into why emotional regulation isn't about being calm and how to build scaffolding so that you can catch the feelings before they turn into a stress monster.

In this episode: I'm introducing you to the 10-3 Rule for productivity, which I call the 10-3 Game. It's a process of setting a timer to do short bursts of work or tasks for ten minutes and then setting the timer for a three minute rest, and doing your day or hard-to-start projects this way. I get into why the rest is the most important part and why this method is very supportive for ADHD humans. Get your Time Timer with my unique link here!

Nationell samling har siktet inställt på Frankrikes högsta ämbete. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Från att vara ett bespottat och utskrattat parti på den yttersta högerkanten, har Nationell samling slagit sig in i den franska politikens centrum. I partiets topp finns kronprinsen, den unge Jordan Bardella och matriarken Marine Le Pen, som tillsammans kämpar för att ta Nationell samling till den absoluta toppen i republiken – presidentposten i Frankrike.Avsnittet spelades in 26 mars 2026.Sen avsnittet spelades in den 26 mars 2026 så har appellationsdomstolen i Paris slagit fast att Marine Le Pen gjort sig skyldig till förskingring av EU-medel. Det tidigare straffet mildrades av domstolen vilket gör att Le Pen är valbar inför presidentvalet i april 2027. Le Pen säger att hon är oskyldig och att hon överklagar domen. Hon har också meddelat att hon kommer att ställa upp som kandidat i presidentvalet.

Deux unes d'hebdomadaires français se répondent cette semaine. Sur chacune, le même visage, celui de Marine Le Pen. Et la même question : que se passerait-il si le Rassemblement national gouvernait réellement ? Les promesses du RN confrontées à la réalité L'Express met en scène Marine Le Pen assise sur un trône doré, entourée de chats, et titre : « Les 100 premiers jours du RN au pouvoir ». Avec ce sous-titre : « Enquête sur le programme qui plomberait la France ». Le dossier passe chaque promesse au tamis du réel. La mesure phare, le référendum sur l'immigration, se fracasse sur l'article 89 de la Constitution. Celui-ci encadre les révisions constitutionnelles et impose qu'avant tout référendum, le texte soit voté dans les mêmes termes par l'Assemblée nationale et le Sénat. Un verrou quasiment infranchissable pour le RN. L'hebdomadaire cite d'ailleurs un proche du dossier, désabusé : « Ce n'est pas la peine de faire croire aux Français qu'on peut consulter sur tout. » Quant à la promesse de Jordan Bardella de réduire de moitié la contribution française à l'Union européenne, ce serait « le fiasco assuré », tranche L'Express. Le parti se heurterait aussi à une difficulté très concrète : il ne parvient pas à recruter les hauts fonctionnaires dont il aurait besoin pour gouverner. Un proche de Marine Le Pen le reconnaît : « On a un vrai sujet sur les ressources humaines… On ne trouve pas de gens qui tiennent la route. » Le Pen-Bardella, un tandem moins solide qu'il n'y paraît Même préoccupation au Nouvel Obs, mais avec un autre angle. Sous le duo Le Pen-Bardella, ce titre : « Les failles cachées », accompagné d'une question : « Pourquoi leur ticket n'est pas si gagnant ». L'hebdomadaire décrit la fébrilité du tandem après la confirmation en appel de la condamnation de Marine Le Pen pour détournement de fonds publics. Jordan Bardella, écrit Le Nouvel Obs, « a vu s'envoler un bail virtuel de cinq ans à l'Élysée et doit se contenter d'un siège éjectable de Premier ministre ». Le vernis commence à craquer, notamment en raison des désaccords qui traversent le duo. Sur les retraites, Jordan Bardella affiche ainsi une posture favorable aux entreprises, tandis que Marine Le Pen défend un départ à 60 ou 62 ans. Un député confie à L'Express que des divergences de ce type, « il y en a des dizaines ». Le dossier du Nouvel Obs se referme sur cette formule d'un vieil ami de la famille : « Marine, quand elle est face à une difficulté, c'est là qu'elle devient vraiment une Le Pen ». Ce qui, note perfidement l'hebdomadaire, ne devrait pas rassurer l'extrême droite, car « les Le Pen ont toujours perdu ». Ces commerces vides qui servent à blanchir de l'argent Sur un tout autre sujet, Le Point publie une enquête sur le blanchiment d'argent. Elle commence par une balade dans Paris, rue de Bagnolet, devant un vendeur de kebabs désespérément vide à l'heure du déjeuner. Pourquoi cet établissement tient-il depuis des années ? Parce que, écrit Le Point, « ce commerce se moque éperdument de vendre des sandwichs » . Il s'agirait en réalité d'une officine de blanchiment. Son propriétaire disposerait d'une fortune en espèces d'origine inavouable, provenant par exemple du trafic de drogue, dont il lui faudrait justifier la provenance, quitte à inventer des clients. S'il déclare avoir servi 250 personnes à 50 euros dans le mois, le fisc n'a aucun moyen de le vérifier. Voilà pourquoi l'échoppe reste ouverte, même vide. La même mécanique serait à l'œuvre dans certains salons de massage, ongleries ou salons de coiffure. Des tickets de loterie gagnants peuvent même être rachetés afin de blanchir des flux financiers. Les autorités traquent ces pratiques, mais les délinquants continuent d'innover. La mort est-elle vraiment une mauvaise chose ? Une dernière question, presque philosophique : « Pourquoi mourons-nous ? » C'est le titre du livre du prix Nobel de chimie Venki Ramakrishnan, interrogé par L'Express. Et si la science permettait un jour de ne plus mourir ? Le scientifique raconte une conversation bien réelle, captée l'an dernier entre Vladimir Poutine et Xi Jinping, au cours de laquelle les deux dirigeants évoquaient leur intention de prolonger leur vie grâce à la recherche. Cette perspective l'inquiète. Jusqu'ici, explique-t-il, « on savait que les dictateurs finissent par mourir, laissant l'espoir que le régime suivant soit différent ». Mais « imaginez un monde où Trump, Poutine ou Xi vivraient pour toujours… Je ne suis pas sûr que ce serait un monde meilleur ». Pour Venki Ramakrishnan, la mort a aussi du bon : « Être mortel nous pousse à accomplir des choses. Mozart n'a vécu que 36 ans, mais il a eu le temps d'écrire 41 symphonies ». Ce dont l'humanité a besoin, conclut-il, ce n'est pas de permettre à quelques puissants de vivre pour toujours, mais d'offrir au plus grand nombre la possibilité de vivre longtemps et en bonne santé. Tout un programme.
Elle a grandi dans un hôtel particulier entouré d'un vaste parc, à Saint-Cloud, ville privilégiée aux portes de Paris. Lui dans un logement social en Seine-Saint-Denis, l'un des départements les plus pauvres de France. Elle défend les ouvriers, les petites classes moyennes, lui aime l'entreprenariat, et cultive les relations avec les élites économiques. Et tous deux sont d'extrême droite. Marine Le Pen et Jordan Bardella, te tandem du Rassemblement national pour l'élection présidentielle de 2027, caracolent en tête des sondages. Déjà trois fois candidate, Marine Le Pen, 57 ans, vient d'annoncer qu'elle se représentera une quatrième fois. Elle a été condamnée par la Cour d'appel de Paris dans l'affaire de détournements de fonds du Parlement européen qui la visait tout comme dix autres prévenus, mais la peine infligée, plus clémente qu'en première instance, lui permet de se présenter. Le président du parti Jordan Bardella, qui se préparait à seulement 30 ans à revêtir le costume de candidat, doit pour l'instant renoncer en échange d'un potentiel poste de Premier ministre. Après l'annonce, Marine Le Pen a repris sa place en haut des sondages, à neuf mois de la présidentielle qui se tiendra les 18 avril et 2 mai 2027. Mais pour s'y maintenir, il faudra d'abord que le duo formé avec Jordan Bardella fonctionne et qu'ils surmontent les divergences de fond qui sont apparues.

Venezuela : après les séismes, la colère monte Avec son nouvel album, Madonna signe un retour gagnant Malgré sa condamnation, Marine Le Pen se lance dans la course présidentielle La canicule plonge le monde rural dans le désarroi
On this 14th of July, as Les Bleus face Spain in the semi-final, France is heading into a political crisis that could reshape Europe because where France goes, Europe usually follows. We dig into why Marine Le Pen is now the favourite for the presidency, why the French football team has become her loudest critic, and, with France on the brink, why a World Cup win might yet influence politics in a way that few sporting achievements have ever done before.

François Ruffin est député et journaliste, auteur de plusieurs documentaires et candidat à notre prochaine élection présidentielle.Je me méfie de moi-même quant il s'agit de faire des interviews politiques car je ne crois pas du tout que si tu parles à une personne pendant 2h tu fini par savoir ce qu'elle a dans le ventre.Alors j'ai proposé à François une discussion à bâton rompu, sur des tonnes de sujets à débuter par l'écologie comme la plus grande insécurité qu'on refuse de nommer, du logement comme premier problème de pouvoir d'achat en France, de la mondialisation que les Français n'ont jamais vraiment choisie, de l'intelligence artificielle qui menace autant les cadres que les ouvriers, et de la manière dont le Rassemblement National a construit sa progression en trois étages.J'ai questionné François Ruffin sur ses propres angles morts, sur ce que "faire ensemble" veut dire pour lui, et sur ce qu'il changerait dans l'école, la police et la fiscalité s'il en avait le pouvoir.Je crois que comme il le dit lui même c'est une discussion qu'on en entend rarement avec un politique : sans petite phrase, sans recherche de buzz, avec une vraie tentative de dire ce qu'il pense dans ses tripes.Citations marquantes"L'économie et l'argent, ce sont des imaginaires. Il n'y a pas d'argent, il n'y a pas d'économie." (00:10:01)"Si la planète était une banque, ça fait longtemps qu'on l'aurait sauvée." (01:21:58)"On a des PDG à stock-options ou propriétaires multimilliardaires qui viennent se cacher derrière la vertu du petit entrepreneur." (00:45:41)"Je crois qu'on existe par les autres et qu'on se sauve par les autres." (01:04:00)"La démocratie, ce n'est pas du consensus. C'est du conflit, mais organisé, verbalisé, institutionnalisé." (01:41:54)Idées centrales L'écologie comme la plus grosse insécurité (00:07:06) Pour Ruffin, l'écologie n'est pas un sujet parmi d'autres mais l'insécurité la plus grave qu'on refuse de traiter comme telle, parce qu'on préfère l'éviter psychologiquement plutôt que de regarder en face une "chronique d'une mort annoncée".Le logement, angle mort du pouvoir d'achat (00:27:53) La part du logement dans le budget des ménages est passée de 10 % à 30 % en vingt ans, avec des loyers en hausse de 80 % pendant que les salaires réels progressaient de 20 %. Ruffin en fait un sujet aussi central que les retraites, et un facteur direct de la chute de la natalité.Faire ensemble plutôt que vivre ensemble (01:05:47) Ruffin distingue une société qui cohabite (statique, côte à côte) d'une société qui avance vers un horizon commun. Sans projet partagé, il pense qu'un peuple s'épuise dans les jalousies et les boucs émissaires, comme un couple sans projet commun.Un État colonisé de l'intérieur (00:49:07) Plutôt que de parler de lobbying, Ruffin décrit un État où les intérêts privés (pharmaceutiques en particulier) ont pénétré la décision publique de l'intérieur, citant les réunions du lobby des grands labos tenues dans les salons de l'Élysée.L'IA, un double choc pour les classes moyennes (01:28:10) Contrairement aux vagues précédentes, l'IA touche des métiers qualifiés qui se croyaient protégés par leur diplôme, en cumulant robotisation et délocalisation des postes de bureau, de comptabilité ou de design.Le Rassemblement National, une fusée à trois étages (01:49:45) Ruffin décrit le RN comme construit en couches successives : Jean-Marie Le Pen et le racisme affiché, Marine Le Pen et le discours social, Jordan Bardella et le ralliement aux milieux économiques, avec une tension naissante entre ces deux derniers étages.Questions posées dans l'interviewPourquoi l'écologie n'est-elle jamais présentée comme la insécurité qu'elle est réellement ?Comment un responsable politique peut-il agir au niveau national dans un monde mondialisé ?Le logement est-il devenu le vrai sujet du pouvoir d'achat en France ?Comment expliquer que les Français n'aient jamais vraiment choisi la mondialisation ?Faut-il taxer davantage les ultra-riches sans braquer les petits patrons ?Comment redonner une finalité claire à l'école et à la police ?L'intelligence artificielle peut-elle faire s'effondrer le capitalisme lui-même ?Pourquoi les partis politiques n'arrivent-ils plus à débattre entre eux, même à gauche ?Quels sont les angles morts de la gauche, et les vôtres ?Comment le Rassemblement National a-t-il construit sa progression électorale ?Références citéesLivres et écritsLe Progrès.

François Ruffin est député et journaliste, auteur de plusieurs documentaires et candidat à notre prochaine élection présidentielle.Je me méfie de moi-même quant il s'agit de faire des interviews politiques car je ne crois pas du tout que si tu parles à une personne pendant 2h tu fini par savoir ce qu'elle a dans le ventre.Alors j'ai proposé à François une discussion à bâton rompu, sur des tonnes de sujets à débuter par l'écologie comme la plus grande insécurité qu'on refuse de nommer, du logement comme premier problème de pouvoir d'achat en France, de la mondialisation que les Français n'ont jamais vraiment choisie, de l'intelligence artificielle qui menace autant les cadres que les ouvriers, et de la manière dont le Rassemblement National a construit sa progression en trois étages.J'ai questionné François Ruffin sur ses propres angles morts, sur ce que "faire ensemble" veut dire pour lui, et sur ce qu'il changerait dans l'école, la police et la fiscalité s'il en avait le pouvoir.Je crois que comme il le dit lui même c'est une discussion qu'on en entend rarement avec un politique : sans petite phrase, sans recherche de buzz, avec une vraie tentative de dire ce qu'il pense dans ses tripes.Citations marquantes"L'économie et l'argent, ce sont des imaginaires. Il n'y a pas d'argent, il n'y a pas d'économie." (00:10:01)"Si la planète était une banque, ça fait longtemps qu'on l'aurait sauvée." (01:21:58)"On a des PDG à stock-options ou propriétaires multimilliardaires qui viennent se cacher derrière la vertu du petit entrepreneur." (00:45:41)"Je crois qu'on existe par les autres et qu'on se sauve par les autres." (01:04:00)"La démocratie, ce n'est pas du consensus. C'est du conflit, mais organisé, verbalisé, institutionnalisé." (01:41:54)Idées centrales L'écologie comme la plus grosse insécurité (00:07:06) Pour Ruffin, l'écologie n'est pas un sujet parmi d'autres mais l'insécurité la plus grave qu'on refuse de traiter comme telle, parce qu'on préfère l'éviter psychologiquement plutôt que de regarder en face une "chronique d'une mort annoncée".Le logement, angle mort du pouvoir d'achat (00:27:53) La part du logement dans le budget des ménages est passée de 10 % à 30 % en vingt ans, avec des loyers en hausse de 80 % pendant que les salaires réels progressaient de 20 %. Ruffin en fait un sujet aussi central que les retraites, et un facteur direct de la chute de la natalité.Faire ensemble plutôt que vivre ensemble (01:05:47) Ruffin distingue une société qui cohabite (statique, côte à côte) d'une société qui avance vers un horizon commun.

In this episode of The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau dissect the establishment's self-defeating 'lawfare' strategy against rising right-wing populists like Marine Le Pen, and Nigel Farage, while debunking the myth that capitalism is synonymous with free markets by contrasting Western state-protected monopolies like SpaceX with China's highly competitive, state-guided economic model.

C dans l'air du 14 juillet 2026 - Macron : démonstration de force… sous le regard de Moscou Un défilé XXL et un message au reste du monde. Pour le dixième et dernier défilé du 14-Juillet de sa présidence, Emmanuel Macron a vu les choses en grand. Quelque 6 700 soldats, 98 avions, et 31 hélicoptères ont défilé sur et au-dessus des Champs-Élysées, à Paris, un record. Dans les tribunes, le président français avait convié une trentaine de chefs d'État, dont le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky, pour réaffirmer le soutien de la France à l'Ukraine en guerre. Devant eux, près de 500 soldats des pays membres de la Coalition des volontaires ont également défilé dans un message d'unité européenne adressé à Vladimir Poutine. « Nous nous battons tous ensemble, et nous nous tenons au côté du peuple ukrainien », avait lancé le président français, Emmanuel Macron, hier. En neuf ans de mandats, marqués par la guerre en Ukraine, le chef de l'État a fait doubler le budget de la défense, passé de 32 milliards d'euros en 2017, à 64 d'ici 2027. La France veut se donner les moyens d'affirmer sa puissance mais aussi de soutenir efficacement l'Ukraine, en témoigne l'annonce, hier, de 16 nouveaux Rafales livrés à l'Ukraine. Fin juin, dans une interview à France culture, la candidate du RN à l'élection présidentielle Marine Le Pen réaffirmait son soutien « sans aucune ambiguïté » à l'Ukraine. Mais la position du parti nationaliste à l'égard de Kiev n'a pas toujours été si claire. Si le parti avait bien condamné l'agression russe en 2022, sa position était pro-russe lors de l'annexion de la Crimée en 2014 et du referendum d'autodétermination du territoire. « La Crimée est russe depuis de très nombreuses années », tweetait à l'époque Marine Le Pen. Officiellement, depuis 2022, le RN a tourné le dos à la Russie, réaffirmant régulièrement son soutien à l'Ukraine. Le président du RN Jordan Bardella estime même que la Russie constitue une « menace multidimensionnelle pour la France ». Mais l'époque n'est pas si lointaine où le RN empruntait 9 millions d'euros à une banque russe pour financer ses campagnes régionales et départementales 2015. Plusieurs membres du RN continuent d'ailleurs d'afficher leur russophilie, à l'image de l'eurodéputé Thierry Mariani qui considère que l'aide économique à l'Ukraine est un naufrage économique « qui nourrit la grande corruption ».Que retenir du dernier défilé du 14-Juillet d'Emmanuel Macron ? Comment le Rassemblement national se positionne-t-il vis-à-vis de la guerre en Ukraine ? Et le gouvernement a-t-il suffisamment agi pour protéger les Français des vagues de chaleur ?Nos experts :- Guillaume LAGANE - Spécialiste des questions de Défense, enseignant à Sciences Po - Anthony BELLANGER - Éditorialiste - Franceinfo TV, spécialiste des questions internationales - Soazig QUEMENER - Rédactrice en chef à - La Tribune Dimanche - Nathalie MAURET - Reporter politique - Groupe de presse régionale Ebra
La periodista de Onda Cero ha destacado como hasta la extrema derecha francesa dirigida por Le Pen ha tachado las palabras del expresidente del Gobierno español como racistas.
Last week an appeals court opened the way for Marine Le Pen of French far-right party National Rally to stand in next year's presidential election. If the far right comes to power in Paris it will be the culmination of a long journey that is outlined in The Dark Side of France: A History of the Far Right, a new book by Irish journalist Enda O'Doherty. Hugh talks to O'Doherty about his book and what a Le Pen victory would mean. They discuss tensions within National Rally between economically liberal conservatism and its working-class base and trace the far right's roots from the Dreyfus Affair and antisemitism through Action Française, Vichy collaboration, the Algeria crisis and how Marine's father Jean-Marie Le Pen built up National Rally, then called Front National.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

From April 10, 2025: On today's episode, Executive Editor Natalie Orpett spoke with Tara Varma, a fellow at the Brookings Institution, about the latest in French politics. On March 31, far-right leader Marine Le Pen was convicted of embezzlement and banned from politics, though polling showed her in the lead for the 2027 presidential elections. In the last few weeks, current French president Emmanuel Macron has been carving out a place for French leadership amidst the upheaval in Europe's relationship with the United States. Meanwhile, the push to build European defense capacity—and Trump's new tariffs—are raising a lot of complicated questions.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Day 1,596.Ukraine continues playing its game of Whack-A-Hole on the Kremlin's energy plants. Dom looks at technical developments on the battlefield, including the suggestion Ukrainian troops are now deliberately starting their assaults with next to no equipment, before turning to politics: with Tomahawks on their way to Europe and Marine Le Pen, possibly, on her way to the Elysee Palace. Adelie French-splains what a National Rally presidency could mean for European security and Ukraine. Finally, Adelie is joined by Alexander Browder, the 17-year-old who was sanctioned by the Kremlin for exposing a Russian-backed crypto laundering network.Contributors:Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Adelie Pojzman-Pontay (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @Adeliepjz on X.With thanks to Alexander Browder.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Tommy is joined by guest host Mehdi Hasan to walk through a packed week of World Cup controversy, a NATO summit, and Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral in Iran.First, they discuss the international reaction to President Trump's interference in the World Cup to get the US team's red card suspended and all the ways that corruption is endemic to FIFA. Then Trump heads to Ankara for the NATO summit, and the guys dig into what is actually at stake—from Trump's demand that allies spend 5% of GDP on defense to reports to a Wall Street Journal deep dive on European leaders holding a “therapy session” about their strained relationship with America. Then there's Trump's bromance with Turkish President and NATO Summit host Tayyip Erdogan and the push to sell F-35s to Turkey despite a Congressional ban. In Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei's week-long funeral ceremonies are drawing tens of thousands of mourners to the streets of Tehran; in the UK, Nigel Farage resigns from Parliament to trigger a by-election he plans to immediately run in again, and in France, a Paris appeals court has cleared the far right leader Marine Le Pen's run for president.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Jenny Racicot, Tyler Robinson's hearing, Iran, Marine Le Pen, and Pastor Ezra Jin headline today's A.M. Update. Jenny Racicot tells CNN's Jake Tapper that Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner entered her home uninvited in 2021 while heavily intoxicated and forced himself on her, and when Tapper asks directly if she considers it rape she says "by definition, yes, absolutely" — even Zohran Mamdani says Platner should drop out. Day two of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing shows surveillance footage of Robinson on the Utah Valley campus four times on the day of the shooting, including footage where his leg does not bend going up stairs in a way that suggests a rifle hidden in his pants leg. Iran strikes tankers in the Strait of Hormuz again and Trump responds by revoking the oil sales license, WTI crude jumps 5%, and Trump heads to Ankara for NATO where he again puts European allies on notice. Toyota announces a $3.6 billion investment to move Tacoma production from Mexico to San Antonio, Marine Le Pen's conviction appeal is upheld but her ban on public office is reduced to time served and she immediately announces she is running for French president anyway, and Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri of Beijing's Zion Church arrives in Los Angeles on July 4th after Trump personally raised his case with Xi Jinping. Aaron closes with JD Vance's Nixon rehabilitation speech at the Richard Nixon Foundation and the uncomfortable question it raises about whether our news addiction has simply made Watergate look small by comparison.

French hard-right leader Marine Le Pen could now run for president next year after a court in Paris upheld her embezzlement conviction, but reduced the length of her ban on running for public office. Also: Ukraine's president has used a speech at the Nato summit in Turkey to urge allies to deliver the air defence systems Kyiv urgently needs. In Syria, explosions have been heard in central Damascus, reportedly near the hotel where French President Emmanuel Macron had been staying. The woman suspected of carrying out a parcel bombing in Monaco which injured a sanctioned Ukrainian multi-millionaire and his family has been found dead. In Britain, the leader of right-wing party Reform UK, Nigel Farage, says he will resign as an MP, triggering a by-election which he says he will stand in. New research from Italy suggests women hit a fertility tipping point at 49, even if using younger donor eggs during the process of IVF.

The strategic central Sudanese city of el-Obeid is now the focal point in the world's worst humanitarian crisis. The three-year civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has taken hundreds of thousands of lives. And, Canada is facing its Brexit moment – and it's largely around oil. Also, Marine Le Pen, the French far-right leader and a frontrunner to win next year's presidential election, has lost her appeal of an embezzlement conviction. But a court today cleared the way for her to run for office. Plus, how the World Cup has Cape Verdean tunes to the fore. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
European leaders are talking about a rupture with America — a de-Americanization of the continent driven by Donald Trump's demands that NATO members spend more on defense, his transactional view of alliances, and even his threats to annex Greenland. I don't blame them for being frustrated. Their citizens hate the guy, and they still have to deal with him.Trump is never going to be a weepy internationalist reminiscing about the transatlantic bond forged in blood and mud from World War II through the Cold War. He looks at every relationship as a business deal: What are you doing for me, and what am I doing for you in return? He doesn't mind doing something for Europe if Europe does something for America, and he views this as one of our more one-sided relationships.European governments are now removing American technology from their systems, adopting European open-source software, and investing hundreds of billions of dollars in their own space firms, artificial intelligence companies, and data centers. Good luck. If Europe were capable of developing that economy under its current system, it wouldn't be in this situation. The talent exists, but investment is too hard, regulation is too burdensome, and companies must navigate a collection of fiefdoms with their own tax bases and regulatory structures. Europe has a gigantic social safety net, and it can't grow its way out of it.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

From the fourth quarter of 2019 through the first quarter of 2026, real GDP grew 15.2 percent in the United States and 6.4 percent in the euro area. In the first quarter of 2026, American GDP was up 2.7 percent year over year, while the euro area managed 0.3 percent. Europe has made more promises to its citizens, created a larger regulatory burden, and left itself more vulnerable to inflationary spikes. If it wants to decouple from America, it will need to start paying its own bills — including the enormous cost of providing for its own defense.Quite simply, Europe is not a serious place. Many of the leaders complaining about Trump might not even be around in 2028. By then, a President Vance could meet a NATO shaped by Nigel Farage, Marine Le Pen, and an elder stateswoman Giorgia Meloni. The political order Europe imagines itself preserving may be disappearing faster than its relationship with Washington.For lack of a better phrase, Europe needs a sugar daddy, and its binary choice is either America or China. Only one of those countries has a shared history with Europe, and it's us. I understand that Trump is frustrating and isn't the American president European leaders came to know and love. But he's the best they've got, and the alternative is either unrealistic or worse. There is no great substitute for America, so Europe will ultimately have to take the deal we give it.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:44 - Graham Platner00:07:29 - Kirk Bado on Graham Platner and More00:35:20 - Andrew Gillum's Arrest00:45:49 - Trump's F-35 Push for Turkey00:48:08 - Iran Attacks00:50:08 - Europe's Divorce from America00:59:56 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

A French court of appeal has upheld the conviction of the far right leader Marine Le Pen for misusing public funds. She will have to wear an electronic tag, which she has previously said will stop her from running for president next year.Also on the programme: a crunch Nato meeting for Ukraine's President Zelensky as he urges world leaders to cough up cash; and the story of Kenya's “eco mamas” -- the women reviving marine conservation on the country's coast.(Photo: Rassemblement National (RN) parliamentary party leader Marine Le Pen arrives at the Paris courthouse for a hearing on the verdict in her appeal trial in Paris, 7 July, 2026.

The French hard right leader Marine Le Pen says she'll still be a candidate in next year's presidential election, despite losing an appeal against her conviction for misusing EU funds.Also in the programme, we speak to Andrew Giuliani, the executive director of the presidential task force for the World Cup, on one of the most controversial moments in the tournament's history; and, a 700 year-old book telling the story of King Arthur and his court.(Photo :French far-right leader Marine Le Pen, member of parliament for the Rassemblement National (National Rally - RN) party, poses prior to an interview on the evening news broadcast of French TV channel TF1, following the verdict in her appeal trial over misuse of EU funds, in Boulogne-Billancourt, near Paris, France, July 7, 2026.
