Inspiré par la mort de Nahel Merzouk, tué à bout portant par un policier, Tristan Saule poursuit son exploration romanesque d'une France marginalisée. A Monzelle, ville fictive, Lounès et Léa se marient alors que le climat, caniculaire, porte au point d'ébullition les tensions des bandes locales. L'auteur français est au micro de Céline O'Clin.

Le 14 juin 2023, le jeune Alhoussein Camara est tué au volant de sa voiture par les balles d'un policier alors qu'il se rendait sur son lieu de travail. Dans cette création sonore signée par le Collectif Vérité et Justice pour Alhoussein, nous sommes au temps de la mémoire et de l'hommage. Pour ne pas oublier Alhoussein, et rappeler le combat pour la vérité, contre l'impunité policière et pour toutes les victimes.Alhoussein Camara, le petit frère de tout AngoulêmeAlhoussein, jeune guinéen et angoumoisin de 19 ans, vivait à Saint-Yrieix-Sur Charente, en banlieue de Angoulême depuis ses 14 ans. Originaire de Matam, commune de Conakry en Guinée, Alhoussein arrive à Angoulême en 2018. Il est mineur isolé et pris en charge par l'ASE (Aide Sociale à l'Enfance). C'est dans la ville de Charente qu'il construit sa vie d'adulte, vivant dans un foyer de jeunes travailleurs, alors qu'il travaille à Intermarché pour aider sa famille restée au pays. Il avait des ami·es, un travail, il était passionné de foot et apprécié par tous·tes celleux qui avaient pu avoir la chance de le rencontrer. Il était venu en France pour une vie meilleure, pour lui et sa famille.Halte à l'impunité et au permis de tuerLe 14 juin 2023, alors qu'il est en route vers son lieu de travail, aux alentours de 4h du matin, Alhoussein est assassiné d'une balle dans le thorax suite à un "refus d'obtempérer", selon la version de la police. Pourtant, l'autopsie révèle que le jeune homme est tué d'une balle dans le dos par le policier, contredisant la thèse de la légitime défense. Accusé de conduire en zigzaguant au moment de son interpellation, les images de vidéos surveillance révéleront pourtant qu'Alhoussein conduisait normalement, sans excès de vitesse ou comportement inquiétant. Plusieurs zones d'ombre : caméras des policiers éteintes, des analyses toxicologiques négatives, un casier vierge et un véhicule vide de tout objet incriminant. Le 28 juin 2023, le policier auteur du coup de feu est mis en examen pour homicide volontaire.La mort d'Alhoussein fait tragiquement écho à celle du jeune Nahel Merzouk, assassiné deux semaines après Alhoussein, le 27 juin 2023 à Nanterre. Ils font partie des trop nombreuses victimes de refus d'obtempérer, victimes de l'impunité policière et du racisme.Hommage et mémoire empêchésUn an après sa mort, le 22 juin 2024, est organisée la marche commémorative pour Alhoussein, au départ du foyer Jeunes Travailleurs dans lequel il vivait. Le 13 juillet 2024, le Comité Justice pour Alhoussein organise un match de Gala par son équipe de foot C.s Leroy Somer, afin de raviver le souvenir de leur ami en se rassemblant autour de son sport préféré. La mairie d'Angoulême refusant de mettre un stade à disposition pour que le match commémoratif soit tenu, le match est finalement déplacé à Villenave d'Ornon, près de Bordeaux, organisé par son équipe et Syli Bordeaux, équipe de foot guinéenne. Il sera de nouveau interdit par arrêté préfectoral, empêchant aux proches et soutiens de partager ce moment de recueil et de mémoire. Malgré ces entraves, le Collectif Vérité et Justice pour Alhoussein l'affirme : « D'autres moments, d'actions mémorielles ont depuis été faites, et beaucoup d'autres le seront encore malgré toutes les mécaniques d'invisibilisations, d'épuisements, d'oppressions… Pour honorer sa mémoire, soutenir sa famille et ses proches, obtenir justice pour lui et toutes les autres victimes de violences policières et d'État. Les organisations se font, la lutte continue. Pas de Justice, pas de Paix. »Ce documentaire, réalisé par le Collectif Vérité et Justice pour Alhoussein, nous déplace entre ces deux temps d'hommage, l'un permis et l'autre annulé, entre émotion et détermination, nous donnant aussi la chance de mieux connaître Alhoussein, par les voix de ses proches. Réalisation : Comité Vérité et Justice pour AlhousseinArticle : Bertille Hyvon

#118 Violences policières, le coût personnel de la lutte (Partie 1)TW : cet épisode évoque la description d'actes de violenceL'an dernier, la France a été bousculée par un événement traumatisant. Abattu d'une balle à bout portant par un policier, Nahel Merzouk, 17 ans, perdait la vie brutalement. Une tragédie comme il en survient hélas régulièrement dans nos banlieues populaires, où les noms des disparus se succèdent tristement. Parmi ces vies volées, un nom occupe régulièrement le devant de l'actualité: c'est celui d'Adama Traoré. Derrière la la mort de ce jeune homme entre les mains de gendarmes survenue en 2016, c'est un drame humain qui a transformé sa soeur Assa Traoré en figure majeure de la lutte contre les violences policières. Qu'est il arrivé le jour de la mort d'Adama? Quelle conséquences quand la violence raciste percute une famille ? Dans la première partie de cet épisode, nous évoquerons avec notre invitée Assa Traoré, fondatrice du Comité Adama, le bouleversement causé par cet évènement tragique.Émission produite par Rokhaya Diallo et Grace Ly. kiffetarace@kiffetarace.comSon & réalisation : Ossama Hezhaz Artisan de l'EspritRéalisation : Alex Kamara assisté de Jerusha Daniel Peter SelvarajahCadrage : Magatte DiagneGraphisme : Gwenn GLMDirection artistique : @argotmagazineHabillage sonore : Baptiste MayorazKiffe ta race est disponible gratuitement sur Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music… Rejoignez nos communautés #Kiffetarace sur Youtube, Instagram, X, Facebook en vous abonnant à nos comptes.

A França foi abalada em 2023 por várias crises sociais, em que sociedade civil e Governo se viram frente a frente, levando a um mal-estar generalizado tanto na âmbito da reforma do sistema de pensões, como nos motins dos jovens devido à violência policial e ainda em relação à nova lei da imigração. Em 2023, a França voltou a viver um ano de grande agitação social. A 10 de Janeiro, o Governo apresentou a há muito prometida pelo Presidente Emmanuel Macron reforma do sistema de pensões que visava suprimir vários regimes especiais que vigoravam há décadas para certas profissões, fazer uma nova contagem dos descontos para a reforma e ainda aumentar a idade da reforma de 62 para 64 anos. Logo a partir do início de Janeiro, os sindicatos começaram a mobilizar os trabalhadores promovendo um período de greve intermitente que se prolongou durante cerca de dois meses. Desde logo, a mobilização mostrou-se inédita já que juntou as principais centrais sindicais francesas, algo que não acontecia há mais de uma década, e bate recordes nas ruas de Paris e de todas as cidades francesas. A jornada de greve do dia 7 de Março foi mesmo considerada histórica por ter conseguido juntar nas ruas 1,28 milhões de manifestantes segundo a polícia, e 3,5 milhões segundo a central sindical CGT. Enquanto aas ruas os franceses pediam o fim desta reforma, nos corredores do poder e especificamente no Palácio do Eliseu, a maioria relativa do Presidente tentava encontrar apoios à esquerda e à direita para aprovar esta lei impopular. Tendo maioria relativa na Assembleia Nacional e precisando de uma maioria absoluta, os membros do Governo tentavam freneticamente recolher apoios, causando mesmo clivagens especialmente à direita, no partido Os Republicanos, onde muitos não viam com bons olhos um apoio ao Presidente Emmanuel Macron e à primeira-ministra Elisabeth Borne. Com o diálogo quebrado com os sindicatos, mas também sem confiança para uma maioria sólida no Parlamento, a primeira-ministra acabou por anunciar no dia 17 de Março, na Assembleia Nacional, o recurso ao artigo 49.3 da Constituição, que permite que o Governo aprove em força reformas consideradas essenciais para a continuação da governação. Nas ruas, ficou o dissabor de um protesto que não adiantou e que se juntou a um sentimento de mal-estar e menosprezo que já se faz sentir na sociedade francesa pelo menos desde o início do mandato de Emmanuel Macron, como explicou Diogo Sardinha, filósofo, em entrevista à RFI. "O que fica desta reforma é uma espécie de dissabor, um mal-estar, de uma luta social e política que não deu os resultados esperados. É um dos elementos que contribui para a decepção em relação à política governamental e para um mal-estar de uma camada da população que até agora era relativamente protegida e que beneficiava do Estado social", declarou Diogo Sardinha.A lei da reforma do sistema de pensões em França foi promulgada no dia 14 de Abril e entrou em vigor no início de Setembro.Motins e destruição após violência policialAlguns meses depois, um episódio violento volta a agitar a França. Um jovem, Nahel Merzouk, de 17 anos, é morto pela polícia numa operação stop em Nanterre, nos arredores de Paris. A primeira versão da polícia dá conta de uma fuga ou tentativa de atropelamento dos agentes que conduziam esta operação, mas um vídeo que começou a ser difundido nas redes sociais, gravado por um outro condutor, conta uma história diferente. Nahel, que era menor e não tinha carta, tentou fugir após ser parado pela polícia, mas recebeu quase instantaneamente uma bala no peito, que o feriu mortalmente. Este foi um episódio de violência policial que veio adensar um passivo das forças de ordem e segurança francesas que não para de crescer desde as manifestações dos coletes amarelos entre 2018 e 2019, passando pelas manifestações da reforma do sistema de pensões e pelo qual a França já foi condenada pelo Tribunal Europeu dos Direitos Humanos e criticada pelas Nações Unidas e pelo Conselho da Europa. A morte de Nahel, também por se tratar de um menor, veio inflamar a situação face à polícia e deu origem a uma vaga de violência e de motins que durou desde a noite do dia da morte do jovem, 27 de Junho, até dia 5 de Julho, levando à instauração de recolheres obrigatórios em muitos subúrbios das grandes cidades. Várias câmaras municipais foram incendiadas, assim como equipamentos públicos, eleitos locais foram agredidos e muitas lojas foram pilhadas em Paris e noutras cidades francesas. Foram destacados para travar os motins cerca de 45 mil polícias, um número recorde e terão sido detidos mais de 1.000 participantes nestes eventos violentos.  Estes motins mostram as dificuldades de inserção de muitos jovens franceses, abandonados pelo sistema de educação e frustrados por não conseguirem um trabalho que lhes permita ascender socialmente, como explicou Diogo Sardinha. "Há manifestações mais virulentas que tornam patente o ma-estar de uma certa camada da juventude, deixada, como se costuma dizer, ao 'Deus dará' e que é muito jovem e está afastada das instituições republicanas, seja a escolas ou a educação no sentido lato. São pessoas que estão excluídas do próprio sistema. O sistema educativo em França é um sistema que é, por natureza, elitista, mas que tem, nos últimos anos, acentuado essa separação entre os filhos das famílias que podem dar um certo acompanhamento e as famílias que não têm isso e não podem dar isso aos filhos", indicou o filósofo, condenado este fosso.Uma lei de imigração que é "uma vitória" para a extrema-direitaJá o fim do ano ficou marcado pela lei da imigração, que teve uma grande reviravolta nos últimos dias. Esta é uma lei que o Governo queria implementar rapidamente e um projecto assumido quando as eleições legislativas de 2022. Seria uma lei que serviria principalmente para regularizar o trabalho não declarado nos sectores que precisam de mais trabalhadores em França como a restauração ou o sector da construção civil, onde muitos estrangeiros trabalham, mas sem serem declarados ao Estado e sem direitos sociais. Outro ponto fulcral era também acelerar a expulsão de quem se encontra em França em situação irregular e que tivesse cometido crimes.No entanto, devido à instrumentalização deste tema no debate político, especialmente pela direita e extrema-direita, esta foi uma lei que ganhou contornos mais abrangentes que passaram também a tocar nas prestações sociais dadas aos estrangeiros ou os cuidados de saúde para quem não está legalizado. A Assembleia Nacional aprovou uma moção de rejeição a 11 de Dezembro desta lei, mostrando novamente a fragilidade da maioria relativa no poder, com uma forte oposição da extrema-esquerda, mas também da direita e extrema-direita que queriam que a lei fosse mais longe nas restrições aos estrangeiros.O Governo acabou por encaminhar a lei para uma comissão paritária mista entre Senado e Parlamento, onde a direita fez valer as suas exigências, nomeadamente a retirada de nacionalidade aos binacionais que cometam homicídios voluntários, passando também a ser impossível pedir nacionalidade caso se tenha cometido qualquer crime em França, a imposição de uma caução de milhares de euros para os estudantes estrangeiros que venham estudar para França ou um período de espera de dois anos e meio para benefícios sociais para os trabalhadores estrangeiros.Esta lei acabou assim por ser aprovada e Marine Le Pen, líder da extrema-direita, regozijou-se com o endurecimento das regras para os estrangeiros.Apanhados de surpresa pela narrativa da extrema-direita que esta lei do Governo serve os interesses dos apoiantes de Le Pen, o Governo vive um momento desconfortável num altura em que se preparam eleições europeias em 2024 e também se projectam já candidatos para as eleições presidenciais de 2027, às quais Emmanuel Macron não pode concorrer por já ter feito dois mandatos consecutivos.Para Diogo Sardinha, a imigração é mais um sintoma do mal-estar dos franceses e que se pode traduzir na vitória de partidos que têm a presença de estrangeiros em França como principal tema de campanha nas próximas eleições."De há vários anos a esta parte, existe uma demande social cada vez mais forte, com ou sem razão, para uma política de imigração cada vez mais restritiva e isto é possível constatar porque há 30 anos, havia manifestações contra a Frente Nacional, ou seja, o partido de Le Pen, hoje assistimos a manifestações no sentido contrário. Uma mudança deste tipo não acontece sem factores, é claro que o terrorismo e a pequena criminalidade contribuem e podem ser usados de forma abusiva para difundir certos valores. A imigração é uma outra faceta deste mal-estar, sentido na população francesa, mas que no momento de eleições se pode converter numa massa suficientemente forte para fazer passar um partido ou um certo candidato para a presidência", concluiu Diogo Sardinha.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Nov. 16 at 7:10 a.m. CT: WASHINGTON (AP) — Police and protesters have clashed outside Democratic National Committee headquarters during a demonstration for a cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas. Scores of Democratic representatives and candidates, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, were inside the building for a campaign reception when it was interrupted by chanting outside. Protesters said they wanted to block entrances and exits to force politicians to encounter their candlelight vigil Wednesday night. However, the situation swiftly devolved. U.S. Capitol Police said about 150 people were “illegally and violently protesting,” but protesters blamed police for the violence. Capitol Police said six officers were treated for minor injuries and one protester was arrested for assaulting an officer. KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Residents say Israeli forces dropped leaflets warning Palestinians to flee parts of southern Gaza. That signals a possible expansion of their offensive to areas where hundreds of thousands of people who heeded earlier evacuation orders are crowded into U.N.-run shelters and family homes. Meanwhile, soldiers continued searching Shifa Hospital in the north on Thursday, in a raid that began a day earlier. They displayed guns they say were found hidden in one building, but have yet to release any evidence of the central Hamas command center that Israel has said is concealed beneath the complex. Hamas and staff at the hospital deny the allegations. Israel already carries out air raids in the south. Broadening operations there threatens to worsen an already severe humanitarian crisis. WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress has ended the threat of a government shutdown until after the holidays. The Senate gave final approval to a temporary government funding package Wednesday night and sent it to President Joe Biden for his signature. The bill sets up a final confrontation on the government budget in the new year. The Senate worked into the night to pass the bill with days to spare before government funding expires Saturday. The spending package keeps government funding levels at current levels for roughly two more months while a long-term package is negotiated. WOODSIDE, Calif. (AP) — U.S. President Joe Biden and China's Xi Jinping have emerged from their first face-to-face meeting in a year vowing to stabilize their fraught relationship and showcasing modest agreements to combat illegal fentanyl and re-establish military communications. There were still deep differences on economic competition and global security threats. But Biden said they agreed to “pick up the phone” and talk if urgent issues arise. Biden said “that's important progress." Xi signaled later Wednesday that China would send the U.S. new pandas after recalling three from the National Zoo in Washington last week. ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York state has sued PepsiCo in an effort to hold the soda-and-snack food giant partly responsible for litter that winds up in bodies of water that supply the city of Buffalo with drinking water. The lawsuit, filed in state Supreme Court by Attorney General Letitia James, accuses the company and its Frito-Lay subsidiaries of creating a public nuisance by making a huge number of plastic bottles and wrappers, some of which inevitably wind up falling or blowing into the Buffalo River after they are discarded by customers. PepsiCo said it was serious about “plastic reduction and effective recycling.” It didn't directly comment on the lawsuit's claim that it was legally responsible for keeping garbage out of the Buffalo River. The Celtics stun the Sixers, Booker pays dividends on return to the line-up, an on-court fracas and neck grab draws punishment from the NBA, Flyers goaltender Carter Hart leads his team to victory, the Browns will be without their starting quarterback, and Major League Baseball announces the Cy Young Award winners. MILWAUKEE (AP) — Pat Murphy spent the last eight seasons as Craig Counsell's bench coach in Milwaukee. He now is taking over for his former boss as the Brewers manager. The Brewers announced they were promoting Murphy a little over a week after the Chicago Cubs announced they had hired Counsell away from Milwaukee. Murphy's only managerial experience in the majors came in 2015 when he led the San Diego Padres on an interim basis for the final 96 games of the season. He had been the Brewers' bench coach ever since. NEW YORK (AP) — Jimmy Kimmel is returning as host of the Academy Awards for the second straight year and fourth time overall. The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences announced Kimmel's return on Wednesday. ABC is returning to its late-night host a year after bringing Kimmel back for a 2023 ceremony that drew 18.7 million viewers, the most since 2020's pre-pandemic broadcast. In the wake of Will Smith's slap of Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, Kimmel led a cautious ceremony that helped stabilize the Academy Awards after years of turmoil. The 96th Academy Awards will air live on ABC on March 10 from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Nov. 15 at 4 p.m. CT: The TSA expects to screen 28 million travelers at the nation's airports over a 12-day period during the Thanksgiving holiday that begins Friday. John Bush, the agency's Federal Security Director at Reagan Airport outside Washington, D.C. has some advice: get to the airport early and pack your patience. WOODSIDE, Calif. (AP) — To the domestic audience in China, Beijing continues to blame the U.S. for problems in the two countries' bilateral relations and urges Washington to “establish correct views” of China. The official news service Xinhua said in a series of editorials that Washington should walk out of its “zero-sum” mentality and expand cooperation to further stabilize and improve bilateral relations. Beijing has expressed hope that Washington would respond with “concrete actions.” Ahead of the meeting between U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping, senior White House officials said Biden would walk away from the talks with major announcements expected on curbing the flow of chemicals used in the production of fentanyl and steps to revive military-to-military communications. KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli troops stormed into Gaza's largest hospital, searching for traces of Hamas inside and beneath the facility filled with hundreds of patients, including newborns, who have gone for days without electricity and with little food as fighting raged around them. Details from the Wednesday raid remained sketchy, but officials from Israel and Gaza presented different narratives about what was happening at the hospital: The Israeli army released video showing soldiers carrying boxes labeled as “baby food” and “medical supplies,” while Gaza health officials talked of terrified staff and patients as troops moved through the buildings. Israel faces pressure to prove its claim that Hamas had transformed Shifa Hospital into a command base. PARIS (AP) — A police officer being investigated in the killing of a 17-year-old of North African origin that touched off riots around France was freed from jail Wednesday while the probe continues. The prosecutor's office in the Paris suburb where Nahel Merzouk was shot said magistrates concluded that continued detention of the motorcycle officer “no longer fulfills the legal criteria” for which he was held. The officer was given a preliminary charge of voluntary homicide. The rioting was driven by a mainly teenage backlash against a French state that many with immigrant roots say routinely discriminates against them. PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — A hospital director in Haiti says a heavily armed gang burst into the facility and took hostage hundreds of women, children and newborns. Jose Ulysse, founder and director of the Fontaine Hospital Center in the Cite Soleil slum, pleaded for help via social media. He confirmed has confirmed the incident in a brief message exchange with The Associated Press, saying the hospital is in “great difficulty.” No further details were immediately available, and it was not clear why the assailants may have taken patients hostage. Ulysse did not respond to further questions. The hospital has been considered an oasis in a community overrun by gangs that have unleashed increasingly violent attacks against each other and civilians. LONDON (AP) — The British government says it will still try to send some migrants on a one-way trip to Rwanda, despite the U.K. Supreme Court ruling that the contentious plan is illegal. Five justices on the country's top court say asylum-seekers would be “at real risk of ill-treatment” because they could be sent back to their home countries once they were in Rwanda. The court cited Rwanda's poor human rights record, including enforced disappearances and torture. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has pledged to stop migrants reaching Britain in small boats. He says the government will strike a treaty with Rwanda that will address the court's concerns. LONDON (AP) — Britain's Supreme Court has ruled that the government's flagship policy to send migrants on a one-way trip to Rwanda is unlawful. The government is vowing to make some changes and press on with the controversial plan. Making the plan work has become a central pillar of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's pledge to “stop the boats" — his slogan for deterring people from crossing the English Channel to reach Britain. He says he's prepared to change U.K. law and even flout international human rights treaties in order to make the plan work. Legal experts say that could be a tall order. NEW YORK (AP) — Americans cut back on retail spending in October, ending six straight months of gains, though the decline was partly driven by falling prices for both gasoline and cars. Retail sales declined 0.1% last month after jumping a strong 0.9% in September, according to a report released Wednesday by the Commerce Department. September's figure was revised higher from an initial report of a 0.7% gain. Excluding sales of gas and autos, retail sales ticked up 0.1%. WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. wholesale prices fell sharply last month as inflationary pressure continued to ease in the face of a year and a half of higher interest rates. The Labor Department reported Wednesday that its producer price index — which measures inflation before it hits consumers — dropped 0.5% in October from September, biggest drop since April 2020. UOn a year-over-year basis, producer prices were up 1.3% from October 2022. WASHINGTON (AP) — Comedian Kevin Hart has been chosen to receive the Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize for lifetime achievement in American humor. The honor caps a three-decade career that has seen the comic rise from the open mics of Philadelphia to become one of his generation's most successful performers.

De wachttijden voor de iPhone 15 Pro Max lopen op door productieproblemen bij Apple. Volgens analisten is er meer vraag naar het toestel dan waar het bedrijf vooraf rekening mee hield. In Nederland kan het tot halverwege november duren voordat klanten hun bestelling ontvangen.  De vraag naar de ‘gewone' iPhone 15-toestellen is wel in lijn met de verwachtingen van Apple. Wie er nu een bestelt, heeft zijn telefoon nog deze maand of anders begin oktober in huis. Verder in de Tech Update: De Nederlandse politie kan bij chatapp Telegram telefoonnummers en IP-adressen opvragen van gebruikers. Dat blijkt uit documenten die de korpsleiding vrijgaf na een beroep op de Wet open overheid door BNR. De stukken bevatten onder andere instructies waarmee politiemedewerkers ‘met spoed' IP-adressen en telefoonnummers kunnen vorderen. Het nieuws is opvallend, aangezien Telegram zijn gebruikers juist anonimiteit belooft. De Franse president Emmanuel Macron heeft op X excuses aangeboden aan de game-industrie én gamers in Frankrijk. Eind juni, tijdens de rellen na de dood van de 17-jarige Nahel Merzouk, sprak Macron van “jongeren die de videogames uitbeelden waarmee ze vergiftigd zijn”. De uitspraak leidde tot felle kritiek. Er is nooit een verband aangetoond tussen agressie in de echte wereld en het spelen van (gewelddadige) videogames. De president schrijft op X dat hij games gekwetst heeft en dat hij games als een kans ziet “voor Frankrijk, de jeugd en zijn toekomst, banen en de economie”.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

El curso político se abre en Francia con los ojos puestos en los Juegos Olímpicos 2024. Los preparativos de esa cita van a ocupar buena parte de la agenda política de los próximos meses. Macron quiere dejar atrás las convulsiones sociales, que marcaron el pasado curso, mención especial para la respuesta a su reforma de las pensiones o al estallido social tras la muerte del joven Nahel Merzouk a tiros por la policía.

durée : 00:04:03 - Le Reportage de la Rédaction - Le 27 juin, Nahel Merzouk, 17 ans, trouvait la mort lors d'un contrôle de police à Nanterre. S'en sont suivies trois nuits d'émeutes urbaines qui ont essaimé partout en France. Deux mois après, Nanterre porte encore les stigmates des violences. Elus et associations tentent de rouvrir le dialogue.

C dans l'air du 9 août - Justice, violences : le grand malaise des policiers LES EXPERTS : - DAMIEN DELSENY - Rédacteur en chef adjoint en charge du service police-justice - « Le Parisien » - JÉRÔME FOURQUET - Directeur département Opinion - Institut de sondages IFOP - Auteur de « La France sous nos yeux » - JULIE MARIE-LECONTE - Cheffe du service politique - France Info - FRÉDÉRIC PLOQUIN - Journaliste spécialisé dans le banditisme et la police Trois policiers du RAID sont toujours en garde à vue suite à la mort de Mohamed Bendriss, un livreur de 27 ans, dans la nuit du 1er au 2 juillet. Son décès est advenu en marge des émeutes et des pillages qui ont suivi la mort à Nanterre de Nahel Merzouk. L'adolescent de 17 ans avait été tué par un policier. Retrouvé inanimé devant le domicile de sa mère, en plein centre de Marseille, après avoir fait un malaise au guidon de son scooter, Mohamed Bendriss avait été transportée à l'hôpital. C'est là que son décès a été constaté. Un médecin a alors observé un impact au niveau du thorax. Cet impact, à l'origine de la mort du jeune homme, pourrait être la conséquence d'un tir de lanceur de balles de défense (LBD). Ce n'est pas la seule affaire qui secoue actuellement la police à Marseille. Dans la même nuit du 1er au 2 juillet, Hedi, un employé de restauration de 21 ans, a été hospitalisé après avoir reçu un tir de LBD dans la tempe. L'exploitation de caméras de surveillance a prouvé que la victime avait été également été rouée de coups. Une partie de son crâne a dû être amputée. Quatre policiers de la brigade anticriminalité ont été mis en examen pour violences volontaires aggravées. L'un d'eux, placé en détention provisoire, a finalement reconnu le 4 août devant la justice avoir fait "usage de LBD". Il niait ce fait jusque-là. Le maintien en détention de ce policier a entraîné un mouvement de soutien de la part de ses collègues et des syndicats. L'institution, au plus haut niveau, a, elle aussi, apporté son soutien au policier mis en cause. Le directeur général de la police nationale, Frédéric Veaux, a en effet affirmé dans une interview au journal Le Parisien le 23 juillet dernier qu'un policier n'a pas sa place en prison dans l'attente d'un procès. Sur Twitter, Laurent Nuñez, préfet de police, avait assuré partager les propos de Frédéric Veaux. Une vision qui a suscité l'indignation d'une partie de la classe politique et a soulevé des craintes sur l'indépendance de la justice. Un des acteurs majeurs de ces événements est évidemment Gérald Darmanin. Le ministre de l'Intérieur affiche un soutien sans faille aux policiers, alors même que le sentiment de défiance vis-à-vis de la police grandit. Les récentes bavures de policiers ont en effet entamé le crédit de ces derniers, comme de l'institution qu'ils représentent, auprès d'une partie de la population. Peu importe pour Gérald Darmanin. L'ancien maire de Tourcoing aime endosser le costume de "premier flic de France". Son parcours fait déjà de lui l'un des ministres les lus en vue du gouvernement. Près de trois ans après sa nomination à Beauvau, il a fait de son poste un marchepied pour la suite de sa carrière. Difficile de ne pas faire le parallèle avec son mentor en politique, Nicolas Sarkozy, qui en 2005 et 2006 s'était aussi servi de ce portefeuille comme d'un tremplin vers l'Elysée. L'actuel ministre de l'Intérieur ne semble pas moins ambitieux que son aîné. Il ne faisait déjà pas mystère, avant le dernier remaniement, de sa volonté de devenir Premier ministre. Sur le terrain, les nuits d'émeutes qui ont suivi la mort du jeune Nahel ont laissé des traces. Une équipe de C dans l'air s'est rendue à la rencontre du maire de Neuilly-sur-Marne, en Seine-Saint-Denis. Zartoshte Bakhtiari revient sur ces nuits agitées et sur les importantes dégradations causées à sa commune. Plusieurs semaines après, il ne comprend toujours pas comment certains de ses administrés ont pu basculer dans une telle violence. L'institution considère-t-elle que les policiers ne sont pas des justiciables comme les autres ? Gérald Darmanin pourra-t-il maintenir son soutien sans faille aux policiers ? Comment reconstruire après les émeutes ?

Protests and riots erupted following the police-involved fatal shooting of 17-year-old French citizen Nahel Merzouk, who was of Moroccan and Algerian descent, on June 27 in France.Lora Ries, director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, says “certainly what happened in France takes us directly back to 2020” after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)“… and I can't help but wonder: Has [the] U.S. exported this model, where if someone from a minority community is killed by the police, that these very violent mobs are going to regularly pop up and cause such destruction?” Riesasks.“To be seen, I guess, in France. Unfortunately, the U.S. lived through many months of it in 2020. And a little bit different in terms of what minority group we're talking about. In this French incident, as Ellie [Krasne-Cohen] explained, the gentleman was of North African descent, and the riots from 2020 that we dealt with in the U.S. was largely about the black community,” Ries says, adding:However, given our immigration situation, mass migration to the U.S. right now, this is going to be an interesting situation to watch.Ries and Ellie Krasne-Cohen, a visiting fellow at Independent Women's Forum and former Heritage Foundation employee who now lives in France, join today's episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast" to further discuss the deadly French shooting, and similarities and differences with how French and U.S. media covered the incident.

You've probably heard about jihadists' recent rioting, burning and looting, while yelling Allahu Akbar, throughout France, thoughAmerican mainstream media did not give it the coverage it warranted. Why not? Because some do not want you to realize or recall that it's been the Radical Islamists' intent, for over 1,000years, to put the world under their rule. France (and Western Europe) is just the beginning in this era. In case you still doubt that America is at imminent risk, this  podcast begins by giving you some startling facts, such as:ISIS' latest promotion of ‘hijrah' (migration for the purpose of waging jihad) includes tips for safe and undetected travel. You will also hear the words of a Palestinian cleric, who foretold this latest uprising years before, “France will become an Islamic country through jihad. The entire world will be subject to Islamic Rule.” And you will hear the staggering number of border crossers who are on the FBI terror watchlist and infiltrating America. So, what did jihadists use as their latest excuse to riot in France?It was the accidental killing of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk of Moroccan and Algerian descent, at a traffic stop. Never mind that this teen already had an impressive criminal record-including selling drugs and repeatedly resisting arrest, as he was doing in June 2023. His death lit the simmering fuel of migrant unrest - literally. Meanwhile, Macron was partying with Elton John and blamed the cop, in an effort to calm the mobs, though he was legally innocent until proven guilty. The last segment includes such head-scratchers as what Macron blames for the riots instead of Radical Islam, how a court, amidst these riots, reinstated a migrant pilot with radical beliefs to be able to continue to fly Air France planes, and how Europe is changing as it slowly recognizes their mistake of uncontrolled migration - from it bleeding the countries dry to the rise in crime… a harbinger of things to come. 

Michel Houellebecq, the controversial French author, has consistently produced novels that explore societal challenges, often tracing back to the cultural revolution of the 1960s. His new book, "Quelques Mois dans ma Vie" (A Few Months in My Life), which was published in May 2023, reveals two recent scandals that have embroiled his life.In this episode I interview RJ Smith, an Australian author who lives in Paris. Quillette recently published RJ's critical review of Houellebecq's new book, which you can read here: https://quillette.com/2023/06/26/the-sorrow-and-the-self-pity/ Aside from discussing Houellebecq's life and work, we delve into France's tumultuous colonial history and its modern day ramifications in the form of tensions between French citizens of Maghrebi descent and the broader French population. The term "Maghrebi" refers to people from the Maghreb region of North Africa, including Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco.Just last month riots took place after Maghrebi teen Nahel Merzouk was killed by French police. We discuss that and the gilets jaune (yellow jacket) protests which kicked off in 2018 and are still going to this day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

En este nuevo podcast contamos con Emile Dalloz activista político francés para describirnos como esta la situación con las revueltas iniciadas a raíz de la muerte de Nahel Merzouk en Francia. Comentaremos la desigualdad latente en el país de la Egalite y donde no todo es Fraternite. También hablaremos sobre los tintes Napoleonicos de un presidente que pretende cortar las formas libres de comunicación en los casos que juegan en su contra y como la UE hará una realidad legal el 25 de Agosto.

Raymond Grenfell speaks to socialist activist and academic Dr John Mullen about the ongoing riots and demonstrations in France in response to the police killing of seventeen year old Nahel Merzouk.

As France celebrates Bastille Day authorities are on alert for a resurgence of street violence. More than 3,000 people were arrested during recent nationwide protests triggered by a video of police killing black teen Nahel Merzouk. According to European Network Against Racism data, North African Arab or black people are twenty times more likely to be stopped by French police. French Senegalese journalist Rokhaya Diallo says Nahel's killing is part of a long pattern of racist policing that has divided the country.

As the dust settles on a week of intense urban violence triggered by the police shooting of a young man in the northern working-class suburb of Nanterre, we look at the causes and what, if anything, has changed in these poorer, multi-racial neighbourhoods since the 2005 riots. What role has police violence played in the worsening relations between the state and banlieues residents? And the life and music of singer-poet-anarchist Léo Ferré. The fatal shooting of Nahel Merzouk by a police officer in the town of Nanterre on 27 June sparked a wave of violence, with mainly young men attacking symbols of the French state such as schools and town halls, damaging private property and looting shops and supermarkets. The unrest recalls the 2005 riots – also triggered by police violence against French youth of colour from the banlieues. Nearly 20 years later, little has changed, laments sociologist Julien Talpin. He argues that the violence during those eight nights was more political and far less random than the government and police portrayed it to be. (Listen @0')Relations between France's police force and banlieues residents have worsened since 2005. There is mistrust on both sides –  with young people seeing themselves as ready targets of racially motivated police violence and officers feeling they are disrespected and under attack. While the French government denies there is systemic racism within the police, studies have shown the contrary. Political Scientist Jacques De Maillard, who studies the police in France and elsewhere, says racial profiling and racist attitudes are part of how the police function, but neither the authorities nor officers themselves are willing to recognise this. (Listen @13'50'')Leo Ferré, one of France's most important and admired singer-poets, died on 14 July 1993. Ever the rebel, he wrote and interpreted songs that shocked and broke taboos in the 1960s –  whether denouncing torture in Algeria or celebrating female genitalia. His raw passion on stage and way with words earned him a huge place in the ballad tradition known as French "chanson". (Listen @27'30'')Episode mixed by Cecile Pompeani.Spotlight on France is a podcast from Radio France International.

This shocking display of French state violence triggered large-scale protests, particularly amongst the country's Muslim, African, and Arab populations, long boiling over racist and classist structures staunchly rooted in French history and identity as displayed in its brutal colonial legacy.What is the role of France's colonial hangover in all of this? Where do racism, secularism and Islamophobia fit in? How about class inequality? And what comes next?

There have been consecutive nights of unrest in the banlieues of France as 17 year old Nahel Merzouk, the teenager from a Paris suburb who was fatally shot by a police officer while driving away during a traffic stop, is being mourned and igniting a counterforce against the State. France has experienced a high in massive protests recently from the yellow vest movement, union strikes, COVID lockdowns, and pensions reforms. What do make of these protests and of the signs of disunity even within the uprisings? Ox Sam Camphttps://www.oxsam.org/How to Order Your “What's Left?” Shirthttps://youtu.be/nItmqkrpWHU To see all our episodes go to:What's Left?

27 Haziran günü sabah saatlerinde Nahel Merzouk bir polis memuru tarafından, polisin emirlerine uymadığı için yakın mesafeden vurularak öldürüldü. Paris'in yakınlarında Nanterre'de gerçekleşen bu olayın ardından Fransa bir kez daha göçmen asıllı vatandaşlarının sokaklara çıkmasıyla karıştı. Yaklaşık 8 gün süren olaylarda binlerce bina ve otomobil yakıldı, yüzlerce polis yaralandı ve binin üzerinde gözaltı oldu. Sistematik olarak bu tarz banliyö isyanları yaşayan Fransa'nın sorunlarını ise Fransa doğumlu ekip üyemiz Mehmet Yaşar Altundağ anlattı.

Francie má za sebou další vlnu nepokojů, které vyvolala policejní střelba na mladíka s imigrantskými kořeny. Národnost nebo vzezření mrtvého určitě hrály roli, ale celá věc je možná složitější. Podobné nepokoje mají vždy smutného hrdinu. Tentokrát jím byl Nahel Merzouk. V některých reportážích se ozývalo ještě jiné zřetelně „nefrancouzké“ jméno - Zartoshte Bakhtiari, i když jeho osobnost přitáhla pozornost jiných lidí a z jiných důvodů.

France's estimated six million strong Muslims are subject to daily inhuman treatment at the hands of a militant secular state. Islam as a faith has long been traduced and othered, exceptionalised as a religion that must be chastened by French enlightenment. It is this context that we observe with horror the recent episode of brutality. Seventeen year old Nahel Merzouk was killed at point blank range for a minor traffic infraction. His death, normally another statistic, was caught on camera and led to days of protests and rioting. To help us make sense of this tragic week, we have invited back onto The Thinking Muslim Rayan Freschi. Rayan is a legal expert and researcher for Cage International and he has recently authored a disturbing report on the French government's policy of “systematic obstruction” of the Muslim community. He recently wrote a piece for Middle East Eye analysing these tragic events.

El 27 de junio en Nanterre, a las afueras de París, un policía disparó a bocajarro a Nahel Merzouk. Tenía 17 años y era de origen argelino. La muerte de Nahel ha encendido la ira de una parte del país. Durante más de una semana hemos visto en Francia todo tipo de protestas, altercados, incendios y cargas antidisturbios. La ultraderecha francesa ha aprovechado para mostrar su apoyo a la policía y crear un caldo de cultivo proclive para desplegar sus teorías de la conspiración. El periodista de internacional de elDiario.es Javier Biosca nos cuenta los detalles del suceso y de las protestas que han recorrido Francia estos días.

French police shot and killed Nahel Merzouk, a 17-year-old immigrant of Algerian and Moroccan descent with a long history of criminal activity, sparking violent protest across the country. Is this France's George Floyd moment—or something darker still? Stateside, the courts have been on a roll, preliminarily blocking the Biden administration from overtly colluding with social media companies and banning explicit race-based affirmative action in university admissions. The editors discuss the rolling civilizational crisis and, of course, remind you to read the damn site.  

You can cook practically anything in an air fryer, which is a super efficient convection oven. But don't use it for battered foods, which make a mess. Violent protests have died down in France after the police killing of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk. But now the country's far-right seems to have an opening. The new “Barbie” movie shows a world map where Asia is an amorphous blob featuring nine dashed lines, which Vietnam claims represents its disputed territory with China. Critics review the latest film releases: “Joy Ride,” “The YouTube Effect,” “Amanda,” and “WHAM!”

Muslim and left-wing rioters have been wreaking havoc in France following the shooting of 17-year-old, Nahel Merzouk. Merzouk was fleeing from police after a traffic stop as he was found to have been driving without a valid license. After days of violence, many arrests have been made, many fires have been set, stores looted, and cars torched. --What's really going on here-- Is France not being -welcoming- enough-- Is this about racism-- Is something even more sinister to blame----Returning to Crosstalk to answer these questions was Usama Dakdok. Usama is the founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He's the speaker on the daily radio broadcast, Revealing the Truth About Islam. He speaks fluent Arabic and has translated the Qur'an into English. He is the author of Exposing the Truth about the Qur'an and Exposing the Truth About Jihad and the booklets, The Violent Truth about Islam and The Straight Way to Eternal Life.--Many years ago, as Usama began appearing on Crosstalk, he warned listeners that the day will come when Muslims will burn America and do whatever they can to destroy the West. At that time many people, even conservative Christians, didn't believe him. - -Usama noted how the Muslim population in Europe is growing and when they reach 5.5-6-, he believes that's when the real Islam shows up. So he's not surprised and contends that it won't get better. It'll only get worse.--So what is -real- Islam-- According to Usama, it's what Allah said in the Qur'an and what Mohammed said in the Hadith. Muslims live by Sharia law. They don't live by French law or the U.S. Constitution. They actually consider U.S. law to be foolishness.

El 27 de junio, Nahel Merzouk, un muchacho de diecisiete años de edad, originario del norte de África, murió a causa de una bala disparada por un policía en Nanterre, al noroeste de París.

MP war im MP, also Martin Pieler war im Movie Park. Wie sich das als Wahlbottroper halt so gehört. Dort hat er keine Kosten und Mühen gescheut, um endlich die Star Trek Achterbahn auszuprobieren. Währenddessen war Alex im Naturkundemuseum und hat Dinos angeguckt - auch cool! Apropos cool, in Batzkes neuer Rubrik "Die Wende" dreht sich diesmal alles um das Thema Wärmepumpe. War ja langsam Zeit, schließlich fürchtet sich die ganze Republik schon vor dem Gespenst der feuerlosen Heizung. Mit einem wehmütigen Blick nach Frankreich sprechen die Studienräte dann auch noch darüber, dass die Institution Polizei wohl doch mehr Probleme hat als Alex bislang immer wahrhaben wollte, sowohl im konkreten Fall der Erschießung des Jugendlichen Nahel Merzouk als auch im schon etwas länger zurück liegenden Fall von Claudia Pechstein, die einerseits die CDU und andererseits auch die Polizeit ganz schön weit rechts liegen gelassen hat. Apropos rechts liegen gelassen, dass nach Sonneberg jetzt auch noch ein weiterer AfDler Bürgermeister geworden ist, macht betroffen und zwingt den Herrn Pieler dazu tatsächlich mal Christian Lindner beizupflichten - sapperlot! Dann aber geht's aufs Festival. Wenn ihr diese Folge hört, liebe SV, sitzt, steht, circle pittet, headbangt, shoutet und pommesgabelt der Metalmartin nämlich schon eifrig auf dem Rockharz Festival. Als längjähriger Connoisseur dieser Kultur weiß er auch genau, was man alles so an Equipment braucht, was er dem Festivalnoob Alex nun erklärt. Außerdem fragt er ihn in der mündlichen Prüfung dann gleich noch über das Line-Up des Festivals ab, nämlich über diejenigen Bands, die bereits schon einmal als Lehrersprechtag Hausaufgabe aufgegeben wurden. Hört also rein, denn hier gibt's ordentlich was auf die Ohren! Als Hausaufgabe bezieht sich der Batzke dann nochmal auf Pielers Achtebahnerfahrungen und empfiehlt das PC-Spiel "Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force" aus dem Jahr 2000. Der Kreis schließt sich, alles ist gut. Nächste Woche wird's übrigens auch gut, da bekommen die Studienräte nämlich Besuch von "Der kleine Löwe". Was es damit auf sich hat, könnt ihr bereits auf Spotify schonmal vorhören und auf Instagram schonmal vorschauen. Bis dahin!

In this week's episode of EURACTIV's Beyond the Byline podcast, we delve into the pressing issue of police violence in France.The country has been engulfed in clashes following the fatal police shooting of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk.Racial profiling and police brutality are concerns in France and in some other European countries, according to the European Network Against Racism.The situation in France has further escalated with clashes between protesters and far-right supporters, while fundraisers for both Nahel's family and the police officer involved have gained significant attention.Amid this complex situation, journalists and photographers face violence from both the police and protesters, prompting Reporters Without Borders to establish a hotline and propose on-site training for journalists covering the clashes.

France's migrant population exploded into incendiary riots over the last week due to the shooting of an Algerian teenager. Let's get your thoughts on the matter. #france #worldnews #nahel DIRECT DONATION LINK (See your comment appear live): https://streamlabs.com/johnnymassacre

En este episodio analizamos los recientes disturbios en Francia y cómo ponen en cuestión el concepto de multi-culturalismo en Europa. La reacción por la muerte del joven argelino Nahel Merzouk fue desmesurada y no puede justificar los desmanes, saqueos e incendios que asolaron Francia durante cinco días. Era la rabia contenida de unas minorías de cultura islámica que no quieren integrarse en el crisol francés por considerarlo discriminatorio y ajeno a sus creencias y valores. La coexistencia pacífica entre cristianos y musulmanes parece una utopía, como ya se demostró en la España islámica hace más de seis siglos. ¿Está Europa ignorando lecciones de su propia historia?

The US Supreme Court ends affirmative action while over in France migrant communities have brought diversity to the country's culture of riots. See what else is changing (for better or worse) at the beginning of the New Financial Year on Tim's News Explosion. France's latest round of riots was triggered by a police officer killing 17-year-old French-Alegerian teenager Nahel Merzouk who tried to flee a traffic stop on 27 June. The officer who fired the shot has been charged with voluntary homicide by a person in authority. Nahel's judicial file included 15 recorded incidents but according to his mother Mounia, he was a good boy who dindu nuffin. Innocent victims of the rioters included an 80-year-old priest who was robbed and beaten unconscious. The home of Paris Mayor Vincent Jeanbrun was ram-raided with his wife and child injured. A holocaust memorial was desecrated. These are the biggest race riots in France since 2005 triggered by the electrocution of two youths fleeing police which lasted 3 weeks. Over the past decade, hundreds of French citizens have lost their lives in Islamic terrorist attacks. French President Emmanuel Macron blamed social media and video games for the rioting. Paris is hosting the Olympics next year. The BBC published a list of fake images circulating on social media purporting to be from the riots. Paris Saint-Germain Football Manager Christophe Galtier will stand trial for racism accused of saying at his previous club Nice that there were too many Black and Muslim players. If found guilty he could be jailed for 5 years. Police in Sweden facilitated a Koran burning which has triggered protests and condemnation in Islamic nations. The US Supreme Court issued three big landmark decisions before its summer recess. Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard ruled affirmative action in university admissions processes was unconstitutional. 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis ruled that anti-discrimination laws could not force a Christian website designer to create a website advertising a same-sex wedding. This followed Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission in 2018 which similarly ruled a baker could not be forced to bake a same-sex wedding. Biden v. Nebraska struck down Biden's Executive Order forgiving student loan debt. All decisions were 6-3 with the 3 Justices Donald Trump appointed all part of the majority court opinion. The Ron DeSantis War Room Twitter account released an attack ad on Trump accusing him of being too pro-LGBT. The Log Cabin Republicans labelled the ad homophobic. Trump has pledged to outlaw child genital mutilation in all 50 states. Nigel Farage and Laurence Fox have had their bank accounts closed for wrongthink. King Charles and London Mayor Sadiq Khan pressed a new 2030 climate doomsday button to stop the planet from warming by 1.5C Greta Thunberg met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss the ecological damage of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Federal Opposition is lobbying the Albanese Government to spend the now $19 billion AUD surplus on aid to Ukraine. The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) begins today. The NSW ICAC accused former Premier Gladys Berejiklian of serious corrupt conduct for overseeing grants in the electorate of her former boyfriend Daryl McGuire but ICAC isn't recommending she face criminal charges. Down in Victoria corruption is legal with Dan Andrews appointing his former Deputy James Merlino to the Suburban Rail Loop Authority. The Victoria Day Awards which is not related to the Australia Day Awards but is a private organisation, gave its Victorian of the Year Award to outgoing Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton. The Yes 23 campaign for the Constitutional Aboriginal Voice held rallies with their activists in major cities around Australia. Indigenous Labor Senator Pat Dodson claimed that if Australia votes no to the voice then we won't be able to criticize China's human rights violations. It is NAIDOC week another Indigenous cultural promotion week.

A week after police shot dead a 17-year-old boy of Algerian descent, named as Nahel Merzouk, as he drove away from a traffic stop, riots continue across France. The officer who shot Nahel has been charged with voluntary homicide and his lawyer says he is "devastated". The teen's death has revived grievances about policing and racial profiling in France's suburbs. Some 3,000 people have been arrested so far and the mayor of Paris suburb L'Hay-les-Roses, Vincent Jeanbrun's home was ram-raided by a burning car as his family slept over the weekend. On the Sky News Daily, host Sally Lockwood hears from our Europe correspondent Adam Parsons in Paris who has been covering this story since the riots kicked off. And Jean Beaman, who has studied and written about state violence in France, explains the deeper-rooted racism still present across society.

Just a few fireworks & a hot dog into America's 247th birthday week, Max & I engage in a little 4th of July foreplay on F.D.R. (F*ck Da Rich) Radio, commemorating America's freedom from the Madness of King George & also celebrating sexual freedom—even if that means being free to be restrained, chained & whipped like a slave—as fantasy roleplay (with enthusiastic consent only, of course) & meditating on how maintaining the actual slavery system was one profit-driven reason for our much glorified American Revolution against the British who wanted to free the slaves--& actually did in 1807 (Critical Race Theory, anyone?). It's a mixed bag, this great country of ours, & there's a lot to criticize, but much to celebrate, & we do. Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality! Let Freedom Reign!  “Freedom is the greatest aphrodisiac, but restraint is a close second,” I always say as I call for restraining violence, but defending Free Speech, which includes freedom to speak (that's why we call this show "Dr. Suzy's Speakeasy") about issues that aren't so easy to speak about.  Unfortunately, my channels & many other voices are now nonconsensually restrained, my personal accounts banned on FB, IG & YT, thanks to AI (Artificial Ignorance)..  So, I'm grateful for support like Rhiannon's petition to “Restore Susan M Block's Facebook & Instagram Accounts” & GasMaskGirl's tweet to YouTube to restore my channel Then SUZY award winner Chris G calls in on Callin with another great speech in support of Free Speech. Joe calls in for Universal Health Care, & Shardoll wonders why a strong woman (like myself perhaps) sounds like a Dominatrix (sounds like Shardoll wants to be restrained by a FemDom). He also wants dating tips, so I suggest watching fireworks (though not ecologically friendly or safe) which can be foreplay for explosive sex later. Pro-Tip: “Don't set off fireworks while holding them in your hand, or you could lose your fingers—& how are you going to finger someone with no fingers?”  But it makes a hot date: Orgasms for the Eyes on the 4th of July. Wonder if Shardoll will takes my advice… After all, I've been nominated by the Urban X Awards for “Most Popular Sex Educator”… Fellow Urban X Awards nominees include Sinnamon Love (a great guest on The Dr. Susan Block Show), Glamazon Tyomi, Jet-Setting Jasmine, Pegstress, Madame Carmen, Jessica Drake & Ericka Hart… In these trying times of rising sex education censorship, banning books, defunding Kinsey & firing sex educators just for doing their jobs, it's a delight to share nomination honors with such a great group. Thank you, Urban X Awards, for honoring our sex educational work & play.  Vote for me here: https://urbanxvoting.com/voting/voting-9/  ... And speaking of sex education, RIP “Talk Sex” host Sue Johanson, who just passed away at 93, proving that sex-ed helps you live to a ripe old age.  Meanwhile, France is on fire, though between the censorship & fake news, it's hard to tell what's really happening. We support protests against the police murder of Nahel Merzouk (a French teen of Algerian descent) & brutal colonial history of France in Algeria, but we decry the incendiary violence.  Some Good News: Our Vice TV documentary featuring our Bonoboville Reunion premiers July 18. Thank you for freeing Vice from bankruptcy, George Soros.  Speaking of freedom, Free Assange! Censorship is one kind of nonconsensual restraint, but it is mild compared to the horrendous torture & incarceration that Julian Assange has endured.  Anyone who values “freedom,” should fight for freedom for Julian Assange, one of the greatest freedom fighters of our times - a great defender of the American idea of freedom - & not even American(!)  Go Bonobos for a great holiday!
