Storm Bert wreaks havoc across the railway with heavy flooding and high winds causing major disruption for trains. Richard visits Northampton station, which experienced major flooding when the River Nene burst its banks. Here's just a snapshot of some of the problems: Great Western Railway was running very limited services at the start of the week and advising people not to travel. Greater Anglia stopped running from Liverpool Street to Stansted Airport and Cambridge, along with other routes. The River Nene burst its banks at Northampton, causing severe disruption to London Northwestern and Avanti West Coast. Transport for Wales had widespread disruption across their network. Northern Rail services were cancelled on some routes because of heavy flooding. West Midlands Railway ran fewer trains. And ScotRail had to put some travel restrictions in place too. A new Network Rail and South Western Railway initiative is tackling leaf fall and wheel slip on the network. Plus… the Young Railway Photographer of the Year competition opens for entries.

On vote ce mercredi (17 avril 2024) en Croatie. Des élections législatives anticipées se tiennent après une campagne éclair visant à élire les 151 députés du Parlement national. Le choix des Croates se situe entre la continuité, avec le parti de la droite conservatrice HDZ du Premier ministre actuel, qui domine la vie politique depuis 30 ans. Et le parti social-démocrate du président sortant Zoran Milanovic, un chef de l'État bouillonnant qui a suscité de nombreuses polémiques ces derniers mois, au point que son positionnement politique est devenu plus incertain. Reportage à Zagreb de notre correspondant, Louis Seiller. Accents d'Europe vous emmène également en Ukraine où au-dessus de la ligne de front se mène un autre genre de guerre… Une guerre de l'information en temps réel. Dans les conflits modernes en effet, tout se sait, le front est de plus en plus transparent, et les drones qui surveillent et attaquent sont redoutables. Brouiller leur capacité de communication est donc devenu l'un des nerfs de la guerre. À Kiev, les explications de Pierre Alonso.Il a été élu à la tête de la Slovaquie. Peter Pellegrini s'est imposé à la présidentielle. Et c'est notre Européen de la semaine. L'ancien Premier ministre l'a emporté face au diplomate pro-européen Ivan Korcok. C'est aussi une victoire pour l'actuel chef de gouvernement, le nationaliste Robert Fico, dont Peter Pellegrini a toujours été l'un des meilleurs alliés. Son portrait, par Julien Chavanne.L'Union européenne est-ce que ça marche encore ? Comme machinerie institutionnelle, l'UE a en effet un fonctionnement pas toujours très clair ou très démocratique. Un fonctionnement sur lequel s'est interrogée l'universitaire française Céline Spector, professeur de Philosophie à l'Université Paris-Sorbonne, avec laquelle Accents d'Europe s'est entretenu. Dans un article pour la Revue Esprit, elle formule des propositions de réforme des institutions de Bruxelles. L'UE doit, selon elle, « réapprendre le langage du pouvoir ». Nous lui avons donc demandé par quelle réflexion et par quels chantiers cela doit commencer.On dit que la musique adoucit les moeurs... Mais peut-être après tout qu'elle éteint aussi les mauvaises intentions. C'est, en tout cas, la conclusion à laquelle est arrivée la compagnie ferroviaire britannique Northern Rail, qui opère les liaisons de train entre le sud et le nord du pays : elle a commencé à diffuser de la musique classique dans une trentaine de ses gares en 2022. Une initiative qu'elle entend bien étendre et faire perdurer. Les précisions, depuis Londres, de Marie Billon.

More businesses in Spain are starting to sell online due to growing demand. But how can small manufacturers benefit from the boom? Without any question, online shopping is convenient.

Military chiefs are a ‘pack of white middle-aged men’ who run a force awash with sexism, racism and bullying, an explosive new report claims. The study, the most in-depth the armed forces has ever commissioned, says ‘an unacceptable level of inappropriate behaviour persists’ across the RAF, Army and Navy. The company behind Northern Rail has handed its boss a £256,000 pay rise – despite the train line causing disruption for thousands of passengers last year. Manfred Rudhart, chief executive of Northern Rail’s owner Arriva, saw his pay boosted from £1.08million to £1.34million last year. He now earns 51 times the amount of the average Arriva employee. Killer drivers are being sentenced to just over five years in jail on average – with many set to walk free after serving just half their term. In another indictment of ‘soft justice’ Britain, analysis of Ministry of Justice data shows the average sentence last year for causing death by dangerous driving was five years and three months – against almost nine years for manslaughter. Just over half of convicted drivers were sentenced to less than five years in jail. An American opera singer will perform a song thought to be an anthem of the gay rights movement at the Last Night Of The Proms. Jamie Barton, 37, from Georgia, U.S., is set to join the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in September to close the musical event. The mezzo-soparano will sing Judy Garland's hit Somewhere Over The Rainbow and wear the same colours that are seen on biseuxal activists' flags at marches.

Ursula von der Leyen has used a last-minute speech in the European Parliament to try to persuade a majority of MEPs to back her as Jean-Claude Juncker's replacement. She will be the first female president of the European Commission of MEPs support her at a secret ballot this afternoon. But she prompted howls of derision from Brexit Party MEPs as she said she was prepared to agree to further postpone the UK's departure from the EU. More businesses in Spain are starting to sell online due to growing demand. But how can small manufacturers benefit from the boom? Without any question, online shopping is convenient. It saves you from hurrying to a store after work, walking through different aisles and carrying your shopping bags home. Instead, you can sit on a sofa, look at the products on the website of your favourite store and with a few clicks, the goods are on its way to your home. During the last year, eCommerce in Spain was worth almost 28 billion Euro. Compared to 2017, that means an increase of 17 percent. Many counterfeit notes are now in circulation, particularly in Murcia and police warned business-owners to be particularly watchful when €10 and €20 notes are handed over in payment. THE final bull run at this year’s San Fermin festival in Pamplona saw three people gored this morning (July 14). In total eight people have been gored over the course of the eight runs. During the run six bulls run with a pack of steers to the bullring. They are destine d to be killed in bullfights. With crime rates on the rise in Barcelona, some residents are taking the initiative and resorting to techniques of the past, which are now being made more effective thanks to modern technology. In the UK while the leadership race drones on.............. Military chiefs are a ‘pack of white middle-aged men’ who run a force awash with sexism, racism and bullying, an explosive new report claims.

This week's episode is about even more rubbish. Patron Shane suggested we look at electronic rubbish and there's certainly a story to tell there. We'll also look at plastic waste, and I warn you none of it is good news. Talking of rubbish, I started writing this on one of Northern Rail's Pacer trains stranded for over an hour in deepest Yorkshire by cows on the line. Not seen in the south of England for many years, these were built very cheaply in the 80s out of bus parts. They are now 20 years beyond their design life and due to be withdrawn later in 2019. Of course there's no wifi and no socket to plug the charger into; not even a table to balance the laptop on. I'm a staunch believer in reduce, reuse, recycle, but surely there are limits. Having said that, I hear that once the trains have been withdrawn the government plans to offer them to local communities for use as village halls or community centres. I'm surprised they didn't suggest food banks or shelters for the homeless. And yes this giveaway idea is absolutely true - there's a link on the blog.  Preparation and delivery of this week's corporate presentations took a lot of time, so that and a 2.5 hour train delay have made this week's episode late, so apologies for that.  If you need a speaker for your event have at look at me in action.

You wouldn’t necessarily know it reading the news from London, but the north of England’s railway network is in a bit of a mess. Delayed electrification work, a new timetable, mass cancellations, the whole shebang.To explain how bad things are, and how they got that way, I’m joined by Jen Williams, political and social affairs editor for the Manchester Evening News. She tells me why nobody seems sure who’s to blame for this mess, and whether there’s any realistic chance of anyone tidying it up any time soon. All that, and we talk about Andy Burnham, too.Skylines is the podcast from the New Statesman’s cities site, CityMetric. It’s hosted by Jonn Elledge.Skylines is supported by 100Resilient Cities.
