En 1945, à Nuremberg, de hauts responsables nazis étaient jugés pour crime de guerre et crime contre l'humanité… 80 ans après ce procès historique, comment s'inspirer de ce tribunal fondateur de la justice internationale pour en finir avec l'impunité dans les conflits armés en Ukraine, à Gaza ou encore en RDC ? Le 20 novembre 1945 s'ouvrait à Nuremberg, en Allemagne, le plus grand procès de l'histoire. D'un commun accord, la France, les États-Unis, l'Union soviétique et le Royaume-Uni affirmaient leur volonté de juger vingt-deux dignitaires nazis, chefs militaires ou hauts fonctionnaires, tous accusés de crimes de guerre ou de crimes contre l'humanité. Mais pourquoi invoquer Nuremberg lorsque l'on réclame la fin de l'impunité ? Le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky l'a fait pour son pays l'Ukraine en interpellant le peuple russe dès le 4 avril 2022, suite à l'invasion russe du 24 Février : « Le moment viendra où chaque Russe apprendra toute la vérité sur ceux de ses concitoyens qui ont tué. Qui a donné des ordres. Qui a fermé les yeux sur ces meurtres. Nous allons établir tout cela. Et le faire connaitre dans le monde entier. Nous sommes maintenant en 2022. Et nous avons beaucoup plus d'outils que ceux qui ont poursuivi les nazis après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. »  Et le docteur Mukwege, prix Nobel de la paix a explicitement fait référence à Nuremberg, en octobre 2024, lors d'un passage à l'Université de Strasbourg en France : « Les Congolaises et les Congolais ont aussi droit à leur Nuremberg. Telle est la raison pour laquelle nous plaidons aux côtés des victimes et des survivant.es pour l'établissement d'un Tribunal international pénal pour le Congo et/ou des chambres spécialisées mixtes. » Un Nuremberg pour l'Ukraine, Gaza ou la RDC est-il possible ? Une enquête signée Clémentine Méténier avec William Schabbas, professeur de droit pénal international et des droits de l'homme à Londres, Université de Middlesex, Leyden et Sciences Po ; Christian Delage, historien et cinéaste, réalisateur du film historique «Nuremberg, les nazis face à leur crime» ; Thierry Cruvellier, rédacteur en chef du site Justice Info ; Rafaëlle, professeure de droit international à l'Université Paris Saclay et travaille sur la justice pénale internationale, précisément sur la notion de génocide. Reagan Miviri, avocat au Barreau de Goma dans le Nord-Kivu, il travaille au sein de Ebuteli l'Institut congolais de recherche sur la politique, la gouvernance et la violence.   À lire sur le site Justice Info Le grand entretien de Clémentine Méténier avec l'historien et cinéaste Christian Delage. À suivre au Mémorial de la Shoah à Paris la journée d'étude Nuremberg et son héritage, 1945-2025. Le 20 novembre 2025 marque le 80è anniversaire de l'ouverture, à Nuremberg, du procès des grands criminels nazis, où, pour la première fois, des responsables politiques et militaires de haut niveau – accusés des crimes de conspiracy (complot), crimes contre la paix, crimes de guerre et crimes contre l'humanité – étaient traduits devant une cour internationale, composée des principales forces alliées victorieuses de l'Allemagne nazie. Pour le procureur général Robert H. Jackson, il s'agissait de construire un «procès documentaire», où, en raison des crimes considérables commis par les nazis, notamment leur politique d'extermination des Juifs d'Europe, il était nécessaire de faire reposer l'accusation sur des preuves irréfutables, pour éviter qu'à l'avenir leur réalité fasse l'objet d'une négation. Contre toute attente, les images allaient jouer un rôle majeur pour confronter les nazis à leurs propres crimes. La journée de colloque s'interrogera sur l'héritage des «principes de Nuremberg» depuis les années 1990, grâce au développement d'une justice internationale fondée sur des tribunaux ad hoc (du Rwanda à la Centrafrique) et des cours permanentes (Cour pénale internationale, Cour internationale de justice), appelées à statuer en particulier sur le risque potentiel ou la commission de génocides. Or, la collecte de preuves qui s'inspire de la jurisprudence de Nuremberg est forte des nouveaux outils mis en place par les autorités judiciaires, en collaboration avec des ONG et des applications en open source qui en garantissent la fiabilité. Pour la première fois dans l'histoire, en Europe comme au Proche-Orient, la fabrique du dossier probatoire se déroule en co‑construction avec la société civile, en flux tendu et en temps réel.   11h - LE CHOIX DU PROCÈS DOCUMENTAIRE La construction de la preuve, de Nuremberg à Kiyv, 1945-2025 de Christian Delage, historien, Institut d'histoire du temps présent De Nuremberg au TPIY : la jurisprudence de l'image comme preuve pénale de Ninon Maillard, maîtresse de conférences à Paris Nanterre Modération : Ghislaine Glasson Deschaumes, directrice de la MSH Mondes, Paris Nanterre.   14h - LA CONSOLIDATION D'UNE JUSTICE PÉRENNE Tribunaux pénaux internationaux, tribunaux mixtes, Cour pénale internationale : du Rwanda à la Centrafrique, des instances judiciaires multiples de Joël Hubrecht, responsable d'études et de recherche à l'Institut Robert Badinter.

Steven Finn is a triple Ashes winner. A 6"8 fast bowler with 257 international wickets to his name, he was part of a side that won Test series in Australia, India and South Africa. He got Steve Smith out twice in one game, and also counts Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers amongst his Test victims. Middlesex's youngest debutant at 16, he came of age bowling at Lord's, and would end his playing career at Sussex, 19 seasons later. Still only 36, he has already established himself as a voice on the BBC's Test Match Special and will be covering this winter's hotly anticipated Ashes series for TNT Sports. His new book, The Ashes Files, charts some of the highs and lows of his own time as a professional cricketer, and in this episode of 20 Questions With he explores the psychology of bowling, the thrill of success, the single-mindedness of his commitment to a sport he grew up playing, the challenges of balancing personal life with professionalism, the skillset required for his new roles in commentary and punditry, England's chances Down Under, and the importance of Ben Stokes to the project of winning back the urn.

Graham Frederick Young was an extremely intelligent young man, who was very interested in poisons; and their effects on those around him.

Dean comes from a famous cricket family background but that did not mean he was going to make it in the game. In fact as a youngster he was far more interested in football until he moved to RGS Worcester where he immersed himself in the cricket environment and excelled for the school and for his local club Old Hill CC. He was then offered a pro contract by Worcestershire at the age of 18 only to have that taken away aged 19 and was left feeling let down and angry. But everything happens for a reason and within a year he was offered a club contract in Staffs where he had a tremendous season and this got the attention of other counties whereupon Dean was offered a contract at Middlesex. Since hanging up his playing boots Dean spent 10 years in sales and since then has been in schools as a lead coach at Stamford and Blundell where he has learned much about himself as a coach as well as much about coaching youngsters of all abilities. He has seen how his dry sense of humour is perceived differently by certain individuals and how mentoring is something he really enjoys. Learn more about your ad choices.

On 28th August 1588, the year of the Spanish Armada, a young Franciscan friar named Thomas Felton was hanged near Brentford, Middlesex. Felton's “crime”? His Catholic faith, and his refusal to acknowledge Elizabeth I as head of the Church. The son of Blessed John Felton (executed in 1570 for posting the papal bull of Elizabeth's excommunication), young Thomas endured brutal imprisonment and torture — confined in the Little Ease, flogged, and even hanged by his hands until they bled. Yet he refused to betray his faith or the priests who sheltered English Catholics. He was just 21 years old when he went to the gallows — turning down a pardon rather than compromise his beliefs. In this podcast, I, Claire Ridgway, historian and author, share the tragic yet inspiring story of Thomas Felton, and why his courage deserves to be remembered.

Episode 99. Bonus  For this Bonus episode, I've invited two British women, Lindsay Simmonds and Julie Siddiqi, both PhDs, to talk about their interfaith friendship and the public facing work they've done since Hamas' attack on Israel on 7 Oct. 2023. Lindsay is an Orthodox Jew and Julie is Muslim. The fact of their religious identities and deep practice is noteworthy and relevant, as the attack and subsequent war, have proven polarizing, straining the already challenging work of bridging religious differences between Jews and Muslims. Lindsay and Julie offer an inspiring example of possibility, showing us the path to connection, communication, and healing, while not shying away from the challenges. Given the long standing and apparent intransigence of the conflict, this seemed a good time for some hope.Highlights: Intersection of deep faith practice and interfaith work.Organizing inclusive events amidst tension.Impact and significance of their work.The role of space, gender, and representation.Trivializing women's impactful initiatives.Sustaining hope and setting intentions for the future. Bios:  Dr. Lindsay Simmonds is a Research Fellow at the London School of Jewish Studies (LSJS) where she has lectured for 20+ years.

We hope this pod finds you well Bookshelvers This week Steve sails the Barks From Podship solo across the canine geek ocean! Luckily for him he has a wonderful book to get stuck in to!  This week we are thrilled to be joined by the awesome Niki French to talk (amongst other stuff) all about her book 'Stop Walking Your Dog'. There is so much to unpack about Niki and her journey to writing the book as well as all the other amazing “project pies” Niki has her fingers in. This was an insightful and relaxed interview that we feel you'll love! Amongst other amazing things, Niki shares her insights on the importance of short training sessions and how to make training enjoyable for both dogs and their owners, her favourite games that can enhance the training experience and bond. We delve into various aspects of dog training, focusing on understanding dog behaviour, the significance of boundary games, and the role of calmness in training. We discuss the ACE-free work approach and its benefits, and touch on the challenges of navigating controversies in the dog training industry and where Niki falls on the need for regulation and recognition of trainers' qualifications. Niki shares all about her dog Bodhi, a Battersea rescue, detailing the challenges and triumphs of training him. We talk about 'Don't Walk Your Dog Day' and the concept (and strange controversy) around it. Niki is also kind enough to reflect on her experiences as a writer and the impact of her book on dog training and behaviour discussions. We hope that this conversation will fire you all up, make you smile, make you think and ultimately help highlight the significance of nurturing a dog's well-being through various activities (not just walkies). Of course there's more… There always is! And this week Steve also pulls out some "stand out" parts of the book with our usual sections.  So what are you waiting for?

Season 18, Episode 14: It's almost northern Test summer time, with Ben Stokes out of hibernation, Zimbabwe playing warm-ups, and the Australian and South African IPL players... heading back to India to finish the delayed season.

Meanwhile, Cam Green makes runs while Marnus doesn't, the South African squad is named, West Indies have a new captain, Middlesex is more into Virat Kohli than Kohli is into Middlesex, and Charlotte Edwards' first squad doesn't include Sophie Ecclestone, which might mean one of two very different things.

Who digs in dead ground? A chance encounter on a desolate beach leads Maddox to a discovery that chills the very air. A parchment, a prayer, or perhaps a curse. The local priest knows better than to pry, but Maddox cannot resist the lure of the unknown. On the windswept Breton coast, something awakens. Experience the unsettling tale of "Celui-Là." Helen Madeline Leys, born on 11 July 1892 in Hampton Hill, Middlesex, and passing away in Devon in 1965, was a British educator and writer whose work, though initially overlooked, is now gaining renewed appreciation for its subtly unsettling atmosphere and exploration of folk horror themes. Whilst her given name was Helen Madeline Leys, she wrote under a number of pseudonyms, most notably Eleanor Scott.

Season 17, Episode 32: The English season is upon us, with the county championship starting this week. And in keeping with the comprehensive coverage we've given to that competition over many years, we thought this would be the right time to roll out a series of feature interviews with some of the best county pros out there. One man who meets that criteria is Middlesex opener, Sam Robson. A man who played Test cricket in 2014, he's been an enduring presence at the top of the list at Lord's, earning a testimonial year for 2025. Another interesting part of his story is that he's an Aussie too, having decided to carve out a life over here after playing for the Australian Under 19s. And as you'll hear now, Sam has also earned a lot of respect as someone who is both intelligent and thoughtful. The ideal player to chat with as season 2025 begins.

Chaz Jankel came to prominence as the musical director for Ian Dury's Blockheads,  helping to steer those pub rock survivors away from punk and toward funk, disco, and pop. Chaz went further into fusion on his own, creating a stylish music that bridged the boundaries between new wave and the mainstream. When Quincy Jones spotted "Ai No Corrida" on Chaz's eponymous solo debut and decided to have Dune sing the tune, the song became an international hit, reaching 28 on Billboard's Hot 100 and 14 on the U.K. charts,. This established Jankel as a force outside of the Blockheads. Over the next decade, Chaz Jankel worked on his own, releasing a total of four solo albums in the first half of the '80s and scoring a massive dance club hit with '81's "Glad to Know You." Eventually Chaz wound his way back to Ian Dury Iserving as his chief collaborator on 98's  Mr. Love Pants and 2000's Ten More Turnips from the Tip.  Ian Dury died shortly afterward, leaving Chaz as the leader of the Blockheads, a role he'd maintain alongside his solo career.Born in 1952 in Middlesex, Chaz Jankel was drawn to music by Lonnie Donergan , the king of Britain's skiffle craze of the '60s. He had picked up the guitar as a child, then learned piano but while at boarding school, he fell in love with soul and funk. His first major band was the folk-rock group Byzantium and later he joined Jonathan Kelly's Outside, appearing on their '74 LP  Waiting on You, then he went on to play with Kilburn and the High Roads during their final days in the mid-'70s. Jankel hit it off with Kilburn leader Ian Dury, so once  the High Roads split, the pair formed the Blockheads, a punk band that supported Ian Dury on his '77 solo debut, New Boots and Panties! It wa at this time that the band steered itself towards funk and disco - a shift in direction that accentuated Chaz Jankel's musical interests.The album Do It Yourself turned into a huge hit for Ian Dury, providing momentum for Chaz to launch a solo career in 1980; although he'd continue to write with Ian Dury, notably collaborating on "Spasticus Autisticus" from 1981's  Lord Upminster. Signing with A&M, he released his eponymous solo debut Chasanova in 1981 and made inroads in the U.S. thanks to the single "Glad to Know You," which became a number one hit on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart, staying there for seven weeks. That same year, Quincy Jones covered "Ai No Corrida," Chaz's lead track.   Quincy's version became an international hit, turning the song into something of a new wave disco standard. The album Chazablanca arrived in 83 and Looking at You came out in 85.Jankel relocated to the US in the late 1980s, where he started to work as a film composer beginning with the Dennis Quaid -starring remake of the 1949 film noir D.O.A.; the latter was co-directed by Chaz's sister Annabel. Chaz eventually returned to the UK in the mid-'90s, leading to a reunion with Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Jankel and Dury collaborated on the singer's final two albums, 1998's Mr Love Pants and 2000's Ten More Turnips from the Tip. Ian Dury died shortly after this in 2000 and Chaz Jankel continued to lead the Blockheads through a number of tours and records, all the while continuing to work on a solo career of his own. Throughout the 2000s, he regularly released albums. During the 2010s, his recording projects involved the Blockheads, who released Same Horse Different Jockey in 2013 and Beyond the Call of Dury in 2017.Cherry Red Records released Glad to Knot You: The Anthology 1980 - 1986, a five-disc compilation of Jankel's recordings, in 2020 and more recently Chaz has released and reissued a recording of DOA Reimagined. Chaz joins us today to share stories from his amazing journey.#iandury&theblockheads #britishpunk #chazjankel #newwave #funk #disco

icky Ellcock's rollercoaster life as a fast bowler and airline pilotBarbados-born Ricky Ellcock had twin ambitions as a boy – to become a cricketer and fly airplanes. His father was, like Ricky, cricket-mad – but on the question of him becoming a pilot his answer was emphatic: black people don't fly planes. Ricky's talents as a fast bowler won him many plaudits and a scholarship to come to England. Before long he was playing at the top of the sport, but the stresses on his body meant he kept breaking down. When those injuries threatened to end his career completely, Ricky looked to disprove his dad and make history in the skies. Ricky's autobiography is called Balls to Fly.Presenter: Asya Fouks Producer: Edgar MaddicottGet in touch: liveslessordinary@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp: 0044 330 678 2784(Photo: Ricky in action for Middlesex.

Season 17, Episode 11: Eating disorders are not something associated with cricketers, especially opening bowlers. But this was the lot of in life for Ethan Bamber during the pandemic: trying to exert control, for a time he lost it entirely. This is far from the whole picture when it comes to a very capable seamer who is on the move from Lord's to Edgbaston after seven seasons at Middlesex – the 25-year-old has one of the more interesting back stories on the circuit. It shapes the kind and caring human being that he is, at odds with the perception of most who try and take stumps out the ground for a living.

Today's poem demonstrates that, unlike Arnold's sideburns, loving the Bard never goes out of style. Although remembered now for his elegantly argued critical essays, Matthew Arnold, born in Laleham, Middlesex, on December 24, 1822, began his career as a poet, winning early recognition as a student at the Rugby School where his father, Thomas Arnold, had earned national acclaim as a strict and innovative headmaster. Arnold also studied at Balliol College, Oxford University. In 1844, after completing his undergraduate degree at Oxford, he returned to Rugby as a teacher of classics.After marrying in 1851, Arnold began work as a government school inspector, a grueling position which nonetheless afforded him the opportunity to travel throughout England and the Continent. Throughout his thirty-five years in this position Arnold developed an interest in education, an interest which fed into both his critical works and his poetry. Empedocles on Etna (1852) and Poems (1853) established Arnold's reputation as a poet and, in 1857, he was offered a position, which he accepted and held until 1867, as Professor of Poetry at Oxford. Arnold became the first professor to lecture in English rather than Latin. During this time Arnold wrote the bulk of his most famous critical works, Essays in Criticism (1865) and Culture and Anarchy (1869), in which he sets forth ideas that greatly reflect the predominant values of the Victorian era.Meditative and rhetorical, Arnold's poetry often wrestles with problems of psychological isolation. In “To Marguerite—Continued,” for example, Arnold revises John Donne's assertion that “No man is an island,” suggesting that we “mortals” are indeed “in the sea of life enisled.” Other well-known poems, such as “Dover Beach,” link the problem of isolation with what Arnold saw as the dwindling faith of his time. Despite his own religious doubts, a source of great anxiety for him, in several essays Arnold sought to establish the essential truth of Christianity. His most influential essays, however, were those on literary topics. In “The Function of Criticism” (1865) and “The Study of Poetry” (1880) Arnold called for a new epic poetry: a poetry that would address the moral needs of his readers, “to animate and ennoble them.” Arnold's arguments, for a renewed religious faith and an adoption of classical aesthetics and morals, are particularly representative of mainstream Victorian intellectual concerns. His approach—his gentlemanly and subtle style—to these issues, however, established criticism as an art form, and has influenced almost every major English critic since, including T. S. Eliot, Lionel Trilling, and Harold Bloom. Though perhaps less obvious, the tremendous influence of his poetry, which addresses the poet's most innermost feelings with complete transparency, can easily be seen in writers as different from each other as W. B. Yeats, James Wright, Sylvia Plath, and Sharon Olds. Late in life, in 1883 and 1886, Arnold made two lecturing tours of the United States.Matthew Arnold died in Liverpool on April 15, 1888.-bio via Academy of American Poets Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe
