The Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scotland is raising the alarm about disappearing Pacific Islands, and the potential for larger Commonwealth nations to become the new homes for climate refugees. She's upped the ante on the need for developed Commonwealth countries to cut emissions and spend more on climate adaption in an interview from Samoa with SBS. Baroness Scotland has made an appeal for developed nations like Australia to speed up the clean energy transition, as federal budget deliberations here reach their final stages. Ahead of a Commonwealth heads of government meeting in Samoa later this year, Baroness Patricia Scotland has also warned some Commonwealth countries in the Pacific could soon cease to exist... and it would be inconscionable not to act. She's speaking to SBS Chief Political Correspondent Anna Henderson from the Samoan capital Apia.

Rivers of people are stretching for miles through the British capital, crisscrossing the Thames as mourners queue to see the Queen's coffin in the Palace of Westminster. Queen Elizabeth II will lie in state until 6:30am on Monday morning, the day of her state funeral. Her coffin's procession to Westminster saw the kind of pageantry on display that is unique to Britain, as Isa Soares reports. She is followed by Patricia Scotland, the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth of Nations, and historian Timony Garton Ash.  Also on today's show: Abbas Gallyamov, a former speechwriter for Vladimir Putin; Iuliia Mendel, former press secretary for Ukraine President Zelensky.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Le président Emmanuel Macron est attendu mercredi en fin de journée dans le Lot où il va séjourner deux jours, visitant notamment deux des plus emblématiques villages du département : Saint-Cirq-Lapopie et Martel, avant de se rendre à Cahors. Dans le cadre de ce déplacement présidentiel, il ira à plusieurs reprises à la rencontre des habitants. Pour Jean-Michel Apathie, Emmanuel Macron veut le maillot jaune. Il estime qu'il s'agit d'une opération politique d'envergure qui s'apparente au Tour de France. Les Français ont épargné 142 milliards d'euros de plus que d'habitude pendant la pandémie. Le gouvernement, en quête de rentrées fiscales, espère que les foyers dépenseront ce surplus d'épargne qui représente un gisement potentiel énorme de croissance. Pascal Perri estime qu'il faut toucher au grisbi. L'hypothèse que le Gabon adhère au Commonwealth semble de plus en plus plausible.

This week on Womanity-Women in Unity, Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka talks to Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scotland. In the second part of this two part interview the Secretary General reflects on some of the pioneering work she has done to demonstrate the economic cost of domestic violence – extending across the public sector, loss of profitability to businesses, pain, injury and suffering.  She emphasizes the importance of sharing lessons learnt, both successes and failures between Commonwealth nations to accelerate development amongst countries. She highlights examples of brilliant female leadership confronting COVID-19. The Secretary General shares some insights into her upbringing, as one of twelve children, born in Dominica, growing up in the East End of London, and rising above the odds to pursue her ambitions; demonstrating that things can and will change if we make them change, and remembering to recognize our individuality and our power to make a difference in this world if we choose to.

This week on Womanity-Women in Unity, Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka talks to Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scotland. In the first part of this two part interview, the Secretary General provides some context about the Commonwealth, describing it as an association of 54 independent and equal countries, comprising almost a third of the world’s population; emphasizing that no country is greater than another and everything is done by consensus. We discuss the Commonwealth’s response to COVID-19 including a virtual platform dubbed the COVID-19 resource centre; its conscious and consistent outlook on women and women’s empowerment. The Commonwealth’s work on and eliminating domestic violence is encapsulated in its No More campaign. Domestic violence affects one in three women around the world and has both social and economic impact. For example, the Seychelles loses US$65million annually to violence against women and girls. Consider the economic opportunities that could be created in every country if violence against women was eliminated? Tune in for more…

"La violenza è tra noi, nelle nostre case e in quelle dei nostri amici. E sui nostri posti di lavoro." Con un programma semplice ed efficace -- che ha coinvolto le donne potenzialmente esposte a violenza e le aziende in cui lavorano --, la Global Foundation for the Elimination of Domestic Violence (Edv) creata da Patricia Scotland ha contribuito a contenere sensibilmente il fenomeno della violenza domestica in Inghilterra. Questo piccolo libro ha lo specifico obiettivo di creare una Edv italiana per applicarne il metodo nel nostro paese.
