Today's episode delivers rapid-fire coverage of the top global and domestic developments shaping America and the world. FBI Monitors Iranian Sleeper Cells as War with Israel Escalates The FBI increases surveillance of suspected Hezbollah operatives inside the U.S., fearing possible terror plots as Israel continues strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The false report of a hit on Iran's Bushehr plant sparked regional panic, though other key nuclear sites have been damaged. Israel Eyes Fordow Strike as U.S. Prepares Stealth Bomber Option Israeli commandos may attempt a daring assault on the heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility. Meanwhile, the U.S. considers launching B-2 stealth bombers from Diego Garcia. The base's new lease with China-friendly Mauritius complicates disclosure requirements, raising diplomatic concerns. Peace Talks Stall as Trump Warns Iran and Public Opinion Backs Action Trump's updated peace offer was rejected by Iran. Polling shows 75% of Americans support preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, even if force is necessary. However, some polls show less support for direct U.S. involvement. Trump Withdraws More U.S. Troops from Syria American forces are being consolidated to a single base, with local allies stepping in to fill the gap. The reduction reflects Trump's goal of letting regional players secure their own territory. Panama Sides with China on Canal Ports A Chinese state-owned consortium will take over port operations on both ends of the Panama Canal, rejecting a U.S.-backed bid. The White House is expected to respond next week to this strategic setback. Trump Extends TikTok Sale Deadline in Violation of Law Despite a congressional mandate, Trump grants another 90-day extension for ByteDance to sell TikTok. Legal challenges are expected, though both parties are hesitant to anger young voters. Democrat Governors Cut Off Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants Budget overruns in California, Illinois, and Minnesota are forcing Democrat leaders to scale back health coverage for undocumented migrants. The cuts reveal higher-than-expected migrant numbers and usage, raising questions about official immigration estimates. Portland Decline Mirrors Leftist Unrest Antifa violence continues in Portland, with attacks on ICE facilities and widespread downtown decay. Court documents cite homeless encampments and drug use inside landmark buildings like the U.S. Bancorp Tower, now for sale at an 80% loss. Poll: Democrats Losing Christian Voters Nationwide A new poll shows Christians across denominations overwhelmingly reject the Democratic Party. While Black Christians remain a core base, overall trust is eroding fast, especially in light of cultural and moral concerns. Trade War Hits Canada, Spares Mexico U.S.-Canada trade fell by 10.5% in May, while Mexico saw only a 2.8% drop. Analysts point to Mexico's more diplomatic tone with Trump compared to Canada's confrontational approach. New U.S. Battery Could End Dependence on China A Boston firm, Pure Lithium, is developing a battery that avoids Chinese-dominated minerals and uses lithium from Arkansas. The company could receive $300 million in federal backing to scale production.

L'enseignement à l'ère numérique : Middlesex University Mauritius trace la voie by TOPFM MAURITIUS

Today, we highlight Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Glorious Lord in the Church around the world. Thank you all for listening. We are looking at the earthly conversations Jesus had, as recorded in the gospels, to see if we are able to glean anything useful for our prayer lives. Our latest segment comes from John chapter 2 and the wedding party at Cana. We find not only is He the God of the impossible, but He can accomplish multiple things through one prayer.The prayer of Mary, "They have no wine." Began a miracle, at least 180 gallons of good wine. Although the miracle was a "quiet one," it accomplished all Mary had prayed, but it set the beginning of the evangelist team God would use to turn the world upside down. "This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him." John 2:11Our So What?When we cast our prayers to the heart of our God, we scarce know how those prayers may be used in the plan of the Almighty. Therefore, we heed then the exhortations of E.M. Bounds and the apostle Paul:"Nothing is well done without prayer for the simple reason that it leaves God out of the account." " Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31Brethren, let's pray for one another. "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

DIASPORA Mauritius Budget 2025/2026 by TOPFM MAURITIUS

Den Pfingstgottesdienst überträgt SRF live für die Eurovision aus der Pfarrkirche St. Mauritius in Appenzell. Pfarrer Lukas Hidber und Seelsorgerin Patricia Staub erinnern im Gottesdienst an den Heiligen Geist, die Kraft der Liebe Gottes, die an Pfingsten über die Jünger kam. Christinnen und Christen haben zu allen Zeiten den Heiligen Geist als schöpferisch, lebensspendend, ermutigend, stärkend, gemeinschaftsstiftend, begeisternd und motivierend erfahren und beschrieben. Sie haben sich getraut, in aller Öffentlichkeit von Gott und seinem Wirken zu erzählen. Pfingsten hat mit Energie und Kraft zu tun. Das Pfingstfest ist vielleicht weniger greifbar und konkret als Weihnachten. Dennoch fällt auf, dass die Pfingst- und Heiliggeistlieder nicht so sehr Lehrsätze beschreiben, sondern vielmehr das Wirken des Heiligen Geistes besingen. Sie benützen Bilder, die mit der Erfahrungswelt der Menschen der jeweiligen Entstehungszeit zu tun haben und konkret sind. Welche Bilder, welche Erfahrungen sind das heute? Diesen Fragen gehen Seelsorgerin Patricia Staub und Pfarrer Lukas Hidber im Gottesdienst nach und zeigen die Bedeutung des Heiligen Geistes für die heutige Zeit auf. Musikalisch gestaltet den Gottesdienst das Appenzeller Jodel-Doppelquartett Piifestier mit. Hackbrett spielt Minea Manser, die Orgel Christian Fritsche. Es gibt auch Gemeindelieder zum Mitsingen.

In this case, the court considered this issue: Must plaintiffs prove minimum contacts before federal courts may assert personal jurisdiction over foreign states sued under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act?The case was decided on June 5, 2025.The Supreme Court ruled that the FSIA itself provides the sole basis for asserting personal jurisdiction over foreign states and their instrumentalities, without the need to establish "minimum contacts" under the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause. The Court emphasized that the FSIA's provisions govern the extent to which foreign states can be sued in U.S. courts, and that the statute's specific rules supersede general constitutional principles regarding personal jurisdiction.This decision clarifies that when a foreign state or its agency is subject to suit under the FSIA, the standard for personal jurisdiction is determined by the FSIA's provisions, not by the constitutional "minimum contacts" test typically applied in domestic cases.The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted.

Environmental law is the law relating to environmental problems – but these problems are anything but simple. Traditional legal systems weren't designed with challenges like climate change or biodiversity loss in mind, making this one of the most diverse, evolving, and demanding areas of law today.In this episode, James and Daisy are joined by Philippe Sands KC – a leading international lawyer, professor at UCL and Harvard, and author of East West Street and the recently published 38 Londres Street. Together, they explore the role of international law in protecting the environment. When did international law begin to take environmental issues seriously? Can nature itself have legal rights? What might international environmental law look like for future generations? SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: Financial Times (2025) – Philippe Sands argues that our planet – not just its people – should have legal rights. “Should Trees Have Standing?” by Christopher Stone (1972) – A landmark law review article that launched the idea of legal rights for nature. LSE (2024) – Analysis of climate change litigation cases in 2023, drawing on the Sabin Center's Climate Change Litigation Databases. Stop Ecocide International – Leading the movement to make ecocide a crime. Philippe helped draw up the legal definition: “Ecocide" means unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused by those acts.KEY CASES AND LEGAL CONCEPTS: Chernobyl – The most serious nuclear accident in history. Philippe's book, Chernobyl: Law and Communication, explores the international legal aftermath of the disaster.ICJ Advisory Opinion on the Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons (1996) – Paragraph 29 recognised a state's obligation to respect the global environment. A new ICJ advisory opinion on climate change is expected in 2025. Chagos Islands – Philippe has long represented Mauritius in its legal battle against the UK over the Chagos Islands. In 2023, he argued that the UN's International Telecommunication Union could deem UK-US activities there unlawful.The Gambia vs Myanmar – A landmark ICJ case against Myanmar for violating the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in relation to the Rohingya Muslims.Red Eagle vs. Colombia – A case involving Colombia's protection of the pàramos ecosystems from mining. The Special Tribunal on the Crime of Aggression – Proposed in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, aiming to hold individuals responsible. The proposal followed this article by Philippe.  Montreal Protocol – A successful international treaty to phase out ozone-depleting substances. Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism – An EU carbon tariff on carbon intensive products, such as steel, cement and some electricity. The Law of Sea – Governs maritime conduct and environmental protection beyond national borders.OTHER ADVOCATES, FACTS, AND RESOURCES:Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) – A nonprofit focused on environmental law (founded in 1989). Brownlie's Principles of Public International Law by Ian Brownlie – A foundational text in public international law. Is a River Alive? by Robert Macfarlane – At powerful book on the legal and imaginative rights of nature. Silent Spring by Rachel Carson – A groundbreaking book published in 1962 on the environmental harm caused by the widespread use of pesticides that reshaped environmental policy.   Bill McKibben – An American environmentalist, author, and journalist who has written extensively on the impact of global warming.Thomas Buergenthal – An Auschwitz survivor who became a judge with the UN war crimes court in The Hague. Sir Nicholas Lyell QC – An Attorney General in the John Major government and Conservative MP.Thank you for listening!

Après la publication du communiqué officiel d'Air Mauritius concernant ses opérations vers Rodrigues, le chef commissaire de l'île, Franceau Grandcourt, a réagi. Dans un entretien sur To Radio.TV Rodrigues, il a demandé à la compagnie aérienne nationale de revoir urgemment ses décisions.

Franceau Grandcourt a également exprimé ses doutes quant aux allégations de pertes financières liées à la desserte de Rodrigues. Il a saisi cette occasion pour évoquer le projet de construction d'une nouvelle piste d'atterrissage à Rodrigues, qui permettrait à terme d'augmenter la capacité d'accueil des vols et d'attirer d'autres compagnies aériennes.

The UK and EU announced a historic deal to ‘reset' their relationship this week. Keir Starmer called the deal a “win-win”, while a “gobsmacked” Kemi Badenoch labelled it a “surrender”. Who's right?

Plus, the prime minister has handed over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, and it didn't come cheap.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 95-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,766 on turnover of $4.5-billion N-T. Keelung City councilor receives suspended sentence for corruption The Keelung District Court has handed Keelung City Councilor Chang Hao-han a suspended sentence after finding his guilty of embezzling public funds. The court found the D-P-P city councilor guilty of fraudulently claiming 782,000 N-T by falsifying the salary of his office assistant and registering his mother as a phantom (虛假的) employee. However, the court cited Chang's admission of guilt and return of the illicit gains - handing him prison sentence of 24 months - suspended for five years. He remains a Keelung city councilor The court ruling can be appealed. Cannes Critics' Week honors 'Left-Handed Girl' Director Tsou Shih-ching's "Left-Handed Girl" has won the Gan Foundation Award for Distribution at the Cannes Critics' Week. The award is intended to support the French release of a first or second feature film by a new director. Speaking in Cannes after receiving the award, Tsou said the film drew on her many memories from Taiwan, including tense relationships in a traditional family and quiet everyday acts of resistance (反抗) that often went unnoticed. EU Leaders Urge Reinterpretation of Human Rights Convention Leaders of 9 European Union countries say they want a reinterpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights in order to better tackle (對付，處理) irregular migration to the continent and effectively increase deportations. The open letter signed by the leaders of Italy, Denmark, Lithuania Poland and others was made public in Rome late Thursday. It argues that some of the European Court of Human Rights interpretations have limited national governments' ability to expel a minority of migrants who commit crimes. The European Court of Human Rights handles complaints against the 46-member states of the Council of Europe, under the European Convention on Human Rights, including many cases involving migrants and asylum-seekers. UK Chagos Handover to Mauritius The UK will hand over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to the country of Mauritius. That's despite a last-minute injunction (禁令) to stop the plan, which was overturned shortly later by England's High Court. Stuart Smith reports. Panama Venezuela Resume Commercial Flights The Panamanian Civil Aviation Authority says that Panama and Venezuela will resume commercial flights nearly a year after suspending them when they broke off diplomatic relations. Venezuela pulled its diplomatic representation from Panama last July after Panama President Jose Raul Mulino refused to recognize (承認) Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro's reelection. Earlier Thursday, Mulino said during his weekly news briefing that he had received a letter from Venezuela, but that he hadn't immediately read it. Mulino did say, however, that it would be in Panama's interest to resume flights, though he said he also wanted Venezuela to agree to receive Venezuelan migrants deported from Panama.

Rund zwölf Stunden sind es von Frankfurt bis nach Mauritius, das gerne als "Die grüne Perle im Indischen Ozean" bezeichnet wird. Rund 1,5 Millionen Menschen leben auf der Hauptinsel Mauritius mit den Nachbarinseln Rodriques, den Cargados-Carajos-und den Agalega-Inseln. Zwei Drittel der Bewohner sind indischer Abstammung, dazukommen Creolen, also Nachfahren ehemaliger Sklaven aus Afrika und Madagaskar. Der Rest der Bevölkerung besteht aus Europäern und Chinesen. Mauritius besticht mit seinen makellosen weißen Sandstränden, an denen gern und viel geheiratet wird, die Insel gilt als "Wedding-Paradise". Doch es gibt auch weitläufige Zuckerrohr-Plantagen, plus ausgezeichneter Rum-Destillerien, und vor allem für die, die hier abtauchen wollen: schillernde Korallen, jahrhundertealte Wracks und fantastische Felsformation locken Scharen von Diving-Experten nach unten. Und wer weder das eine noch das andere mag: die creolische Küche ist scharf, bekömmlich und abwechslungsreich, und wer mag, der genießt sie besonders im alten Kolonialhaus des Zuckerrohrbarons Eugène Le Clézio rund 10 Kilometer von der Inselhauptstadt Port Louis entfernt. "Kitsch als Kitsch can" wird oft gesagt, wenn von Mauritius die Rede ist. Hier ist die alte Formel von Stereotypen wahr, echt und greifbar. Reportagen von Peter Kaiser

Today, we make a broad but apt, I think, illustration from John 1:35-51. We see through this passage a simple conversation with Jesus and then perplexing words from The Word of God, Jesus. Finally, we see an enigmatic revelation from our Savior. Before we get to the content, we highlight, almost all (spoilers) the island nations in which we have listeners! Thank You, treasured ones (Psalm 83:3), from the Dominican Republic, Fiji, Jamaica, Japan, Madagascar, Mauritius, New Zealand, Trinidad and Tobago, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Puerto Rico. The Lord has blessed us, knowing you are there. Simple: "Where are you staying?" John 1:38Perplexing: "He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter)." John 1:42Enigmatic: "You shall see greater things than these." John 1:50Our So What?We often don't put ourselves in the shoes of the disciples or Biblical characters; we should; even the fiery Elijah James tells us is a man with a nature like ours, so all the Biblical characters, we begin simply, basically, we often find the word of God and always the character of God inexplicably in human terms, but when we pursue Him, He opens our eyes, and then we pray for knowledge and wisdom and discernment.Pray, Pray, Pray, family of the Most High in faith continually. Brethren, let us pray for one another to overcome the weakness of the flesh through prayer. ""What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more.""

TINKER, TAILOR, SAILOR, SPY:   4/4: The Pirate King: The Strange Adventures of Henry Avery and the Birth of the Golden Age of Piracy Hardcover – April 2, 2024 by  Sean Kingsley  (Author), Rex Cowan  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Pirate-King-Strange-Adventures-Golden/dp/1639365958/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Henry Avery of Devon pillaged a fortune from a Mughal ship off the coast of India and then vanished into thin air—and into legend. More ballads, plays, biographies and books were written about Avery's adventures than any other pirate. His contemporaries crowned him "the pirate king" for pulling off the richest heist in pirate history and escaping with his head intact (unlike Blackbeard and his infamous Flying Gang). Avery was now the most wanted criminal on earth. To the authorities, Avery was the enemy of all mankind. To the people he was a hero. Rumors swirled about his disappearance. The only certainty is that Henry Avery became a ghost. 1706 MAURITIUS

When Urmila Srivastava lost both her parents as a young girl, life could have easily silenced her. Instead, it handed her a melody — one shaped by love, loss, resilience, and an unshakable devotion to music. As she raised her younger brothers and continued her schooling against all odds, it was the soul of Eastern Uttar Pradesh — its Kajri and folk songs — that gave her strength and purpose.Over the next five decades, Urmila Ji became a beloved voice on All India Radio and Doordarshan, a guiding force for thousands of music students, and a cultural ambassador who carried India's folk heritage from the heartlands of Mirzapur to global stages in Bhutan, Mauritius, and beyond.Nicknamed the "Kajri Samragyi" — the Queen of Kajri — her songs tell the stories of rural India: of monsoons and memories, joy and longing, and the quiet dignity of everyday life.In this episode, we trace the remarkable journey of a woman who didn't just sing folk music — she lived it.About Padma PridePadma Pride is an inspiring audio series by The Good Sight and Rise Against Hunger India, celebrating Padma Awardees and their extraordinary impact. Every Sunday, webring you the story of a changemaker shaping India's future. (Narration: Shalini Singh, The Good Sight).

Fr. Mauritius gives the sermon on the Eve of Monday.

Professor Carl Jones is a conservation biologist who is best known for saving the Mauritius kestrel from extinction. He is the scientific director of Mauritian Wildlife Foundation, chief scientist at Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and an honorary professor in ecology and conservation biology at the University of East Anglia.He was born in Carmarthen in Wales and was fascinated with animals from an early age, rearing rescued common kestrels, owls and hawks in his back garden. He studied biology at North-East London Polytechnic and, after learning about the plight of the Mauritius kestrel, he was determined to go out to the country to try to save the bird.He arrived in Mauritius in 1979 when there were only two known breeding pairs left in the wild. By the time he left in 1999 he'd established a captive breeding programme and today hundreds of Mauritius kestrels fly over the islands where he spent decades pioneering his, sometimes controversial, methods. Today the Mauritius kestrel is the national bird. He is also responsible for saving from extinction three species of reptiles, a fruit bat and several plants.He was appointed an MBE for his work in 2004 and in 2016 he won the prestigious Indianapolis Prize – the world's leading award for animal conservation.Carl lives in Carmarthen with his wife and two children and assorted animals including two Andean condors called Carlos and Baby.

Fr. Mauritius gives the sermon on the 6th Sunday of Lent concerning the gospel of the man born blind.

This episode was originally published in February.Having ruled the Chagos Islands since the 1800s, the UK now wants to cede sovereignty of the tiny archipelago in the Indian Ocean to Mauritius. But one island is home to a secretive US military base and, with the growing threat of Chinese influence in the region, America is worried. Yesterday, the Mauritian PM said Sir Keir Starmer intends to “push ahead” with his deal - Whitehall suggested the same. But if it does happen, might it risk the relationship between Donald Trump and the British Prime Minister?This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.
