PRESS REVIEW – Friday, June 6: The press react to Donald Trump and Elon Musk's spectacular, messy and public fallout. This as Trump tells Politico that all is well between the two men. Also: The Economist looks at the decline of boys among prospective parents and why having girls is now sought-after in IVF and adoptions. The sports pages react to a "crazy" Nations League game between France and Spain. Plus: could David Beckham finally become a "Sir"? Donald Trump and Elon Musk's spectacular, messy and public fallout is in all the papers this Friday. The former BFFs-turned-enemies started feuding this week over Musk's criticism of Trump's "big beautiful bill" – a domestic policy bill that will add trillions to the public deficit. Vindictive, petty, childish, messy and public are just some of the adjectives used by The New York Times to describe Musk and Trump's spat. The Wall Street Journal recalls that the spat escalated gradually, starting with Musk criticising Trump's bill, to which Trump said Musk was aware of what had been coming. This was followed by Musk's calls to "kill the bill", to which Trump responded by saying that Musk suffered from Trump derangement syndrome. Then came the ultimate insult: Musk said that Trump wouldn't have won the election without him. The editors of the Wall Street Journal liken the two men's breakup to the War of the Roses. However, their spat may be as short-lived as their bromance. An exclusive from Politico's US website notes that Trump told the media outlet that all is OK between Musk and him. Privately, White House officials are working to de-escalate the feud.We turn our attention to an interesting article in The Economist, which looks at the rising preference for girl babies and the stunning decline in the preference for boys. In the 1980s, with the rise of ultrasound machines that could determine sex during pregnancy, millions of girls were aborted. Having a girl at the time was perceived as undesirable. But today, in some regions, preferences for girls are growing. The magazine notes this is the case among Japanese couples who only want one child. American and Scandinavian couples are more likely to have more children if their first one is a boy. In adoption, parents pay more for a girl and prospective mothers opt for XX chromosomes when sex selection is possible in IVF. The reasons for these changing attitudes are myriad and quite stereotypical – that girls are easier to raise and more academically astute, unlike boys who are perceived as more likely to get into trouble, as 93 percent of prisoners in the world are male. There is also the perception that a surplus of men, as we saw with gender selection in the 1980s, has created a sexually frustrated generation, leading to violence against women. The feeling is that a surplus of females in the world will have a counter-effect: more peace.The sports pages are awash with jubilation, joy and heartbreak after France's loss to Spain in the Nations League. The Spanish daily Marca calls it a dance that ended with a scare for Spain who were leading 4-0 and then 5-1 in the second half before Les Bleus scored three goals in the last fourteen minutes. But it wasn't enough for France to win what Le Figaro calls a crazy game. Spain play Portugal in the final on Sunday. L'Equipe shares the same sentiment, calling the match "totally mad". Also sharing front page space today is French tennis player Loïs Boisson, who lost to Coco Gauff in the semi-finals of the French Open despite a dream run at the tournament.There's good news, however, for Jordan's national team. Jordan Times reports that the team has qualified for the first time ever for the 2026 World Cup after beating Oman 3-0. The paper calls it "a monumental moment for Jordanian football and a culmination of years of effort, heartbreak and relief."Finally, British daily The Sun reports that David Beckham could be set to become Sir David Beckham in next week's king's birthday honours. It's been a years-long campaign – Beckham was first put forward for knighthood in 2011 after helping secure the 2012 London Olympics. But the footballer was blocked after being embroiled in a tax avoidance scheme. The long wait may now be almost over for the man known as Golden Balls – or possibly, Sir Golden Balls!You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility that requires strong partnerships between governments and businesses. Governments, therefore, face the challenge of adapting to a world where – in the cyber domain – the state is not the sole provider of intelligence or security, and private sector emerges as a cyber intelligence actor. In this Podcast episode, eGA's Head of Cybersecurity Merle Maigre speaks with Jack McCurley, a senior intelligence consultant at Recorded Future, about what it takes to build national resilience when the threats are global and decentralised. “Threat actors are networked. If defenders aren't, we're already behind,” he says. A first look, here, into the tools and public-private cooperation in cyber threat intelligence sharing reshaping cybersecurity from the inside out. All in anticipation of the e-Governance Conference 2025 session on public-private partnerships on the matter, where today's speakers will be joined by Liga Raita Rozentale and Nerses Yeritsyan to discuss how shared responsibility can be turned into shared defence.

Trump Sparks Media Outrage with “I Don't Know” Constitution Comment – When asked if all migrants are guaranteed due process, Trump responded, “I don't know, I'm not a lawyer,” prompting a media firestorm. But as legal experts and NPR report, due process rights exist on a spectrum—meaning Trump's answer may have been more accurate than the headlines suggest. Border Wars Escalate: Military Arrests Begin, Trump Sues Colorado and Denver – The U.S. military now patrols a 53-mile zone near El Paso where illegal immigrants can be arrested for trespassing on military land. Meanwhile, the DOJ sues Colorado and Denver for sanctuary laws that obstruct ICE operations, sending a warning with $8M in fines against local businesses. Mexico Says “No” to U.S. Troops, But Cooperates Privately – President Trump offered to send U.S. troops into Mexico to combat cartels, but President Sheinbaum publicly rejected it. Privately, however, she's cooperating—delivering border control and water rights while protecting her nationalist image. Japan Threatens to Weaponize U.S. Debt – Japan's finance minister says its $1T in U.S. debt holdings could be used in trade talks—an unprecedented move that could rattle global markets and U.S. interest rates if acted upon. China Offers Fentanyl Crackdown in Exchange for Tariff Relief – Xi Jinping proposes to curb fentanyl production in return for U.S. tariff reductions, but Bryan warns the offer is hollow given Xi's deep ties to the Chinese mafia behind the trafficking. Europe Tilts Toward Extremes: UK Labour Party Loses Ground, Germany Labels AfD “Extremist” – In Britain, pro-Palestinian and anti-immigration candidates make gains. In Germany, the AfD is now officially under surveillance, sparking U.S. backlash over civil liberties and democracy. China Quietly Supports Venezuela Despite U.S. Sanctions – Chinese “zombie” ships are still hauling Venezuelan oil in defiance of Trump's secondary sanctions, raising questions about whether Beijing will face new tariffs.

In this powerful and timely episode, we explore how feedback—especially public feedback—can have vastly different impacts depending on gender, and why the principle “praise publicly, criticize privately” is more than just good advice—it's a vital strategy for allyship, equity, and leadership development. Dr. Kimberly DeSimone shares personal insights from years of academic leadership, backed by compelling research on gender bias in student evaluations, performance reviews, and workplace feedback. This episode uncovers how even well-intentioned critiques can reinforce long-standing stereotypes and disproportionately affect women, particularly those in authority or leadership roles. From teaching evaluations to performance appraisals, listeners are challenged to think critically about how, where, and why they deliver feedback—and how they can shift their language and delivery to foster fairness, growth, and inclusion for everyone. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why feedback given to women is often shaped by unconscious gender norms. How student evaluations and performance reviews can reflect systemic bias—even unintentionally. The power of public praise to combat stereotypes and normalize women's success. How private critique, delivered thoughtfully, fosters psychological safety and growth without reinforcing harmful narratives. The importance of avoiding gendered labels like “bossy,” “catty,” or “cold,” and replacing them with specific, behavior-based feedback. Why women are judged on proof while men are judged on potential—and how to interrupt that dynamic. Key Takeaways: Bias in feedback is real, often unconscious, and has lasting consequences. Words matter. The language we use to describe women influences how they are perceived and treated. Allyship means being intentional. Supporting women means rethinking when, where, and how we give feedback. Public criticism can reinforce negative stereotypes, while public praise can disrupt them. Everyone carries unconscious bias. But with awareness, we can shift the culture—one conversation, one evaluation, and one word choice at a time. Resources Mentioned: Clare Boothe Luce's quote on the burden of representation for women. Research by Joan Williams and the Center for WorkLife Law on gender bias. MacNell, Driscoll, and Hunt (2015) study on gender in teaching evaluations. Call to Action: Think about the last time you gave feedback—what words did you use? Was it public or private? This week, try praising a woman's work formally and publicly, and if needed, deliver critique privately and constructively. It's a small change with the potential for big impact.   Join the Conversation: Have a story about feedback—good or bad? Want to share how you're practicing mindful allyship?

When it comes to AI policy, and AI governance, Washington is arguably sending mixed signals. Overregulation is a concern—but so is underregulation. Stakeholders across the political spectrum and business world have a lot of conflicting thoughts. More export controls on AI chips, or less. More energy production, but what about the climate? Less liability, or more liability. Safety testing, or not? “Prevent catastrophic risks”, or “don't focus on unlikely doom scenarios.” While Washington looks unlikely to pass comprehensive AI legislation, states have tried, and failed. In a prior episode, we talked about SB 1047, CA's ill-fated effort. Colorado recently saw its Democratic governor take the unusual step of delaying implementation of a new AI bill in his signing letter, due to  concerns it would stifle innovation the state wants to attract.But are we even asking the right questions? What problem are we trying to solve? Should we be less focused on whether or not AI will make a bioweapon, or more focused on how to make life easier and better for people in a world that looks very different from the one we inhabit today? Is safety versus innovation a distraction, a false binary? Is there a third option, a different way of thinking about how to govern AI? And if today's governments aren't fit to regulate AI, is private governance the way forward?Evan is joined by Andrew Freedman, is the co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Fathom, a nonprofit building solutions society needs to thrive in an AI-driven world. Prior to Fathom, Andrew served as Colorado's first Director of Marijuana Coordination, often referred to as the state's "Cannabis Czar.” You can read Fathom's proposal for AI governance here, and former FAI fellow Dean Ball's writing on the topic here.

WOW! I really went there with you for this one. March is here, Spring is upon us, which means my 2025 begins. I return here with fresh thoughts and an open heart. I'm learning to allow myself to share the truth of what's happening in REAL TIME, instead of only sharing retrospectively, and as a very reflective but also private person - this feels exposing, yet insanely liberating. I am practicing what I preach. I am practicing courage. I am practicing brave expression. And it's making me trust my self-leadership at another level. Privately and publicly.In this episode, I decided to take you deep into the raw, painful, and necessary truth of my recent breakup. A relationship that was both my greatest teacher and my biggest test. I share what it's like to grieve someone who is still alive (AGAIN), the profound heartbreak of loving someone deeply but knowing you cannot stay, and the brutal self-reckoning that followed. I wanted to be completely fucking open about how this experience has forced me to confront my own self-betrayal, how I shrunk myself in ways I didn't even realise, and why I'm, having to become my own student to find my way back to integrity.Thank you for letting me go there

The allegations surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs have erupted into a legal and cultural maelstrom, exposing a sprawling web of accusations that challenge the integrity of the entertainment industry. Once hailed as a titan in the world of hip-hop, Combs now faces claims that his actions may have harmed hundreds, with lawyer Tony Buzbee suggesting the number of potential civil cases against the mogul could exceed 300. This revelation underscores a decades-long pattern of alleged abuse, coercion, and systemic exploitation, bringing into sharp focus the broader questions of accountability and power dynamics within celebrity culture. “Since we opened the door for victims to come forward in October, our office has received around 3,000 calls,” Buzbee stated during a recent press briefing. “The final number of cases might fall between 100 and 150, but the stories we're hearing paint a harrowing picture of exploitation and terror.” To date, 20 lawsuits have been officially filed, alleging incidents that span multiple states, including New York, California, and Florida. According to these filings, many victims claim they were given drinks spiked with drugs before being subjected to acts of abuse at exclusive gatherings orchestrated by Combs and his associates. These allegations have begun to erode the carefully curated image of one of music's most celebrated figures. In response, Combs' legal team has vehemently denied the accusations, dismissing them as unfounded and motivated by financial gain. “These are shameless publicity stunts,” a spokesperson for the musician declared. “They're designed to exploit fear and extract payments from celebrities who are terrified of unfounded rumors.” Currently detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, the 55-year-old music producer awaits his trial, scheduled for May 2025, while pleading not guilty to charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and facilitating prostitution. The legal filings go beyond Combs' personal denials to paint a disturbing narrative of systemic abuse. Central to the allegations are events described as “Freak Offs,” elaborate parties allegedly orchestrated by Combs that victims claim devolved into grotesque spectacles of exploitation. The lawsuits allege that many of the participants were coerced into compliance through blackmail, threats, and physical violence. Some of the most troubling claims involve minors, who reportedly suffered in silence for years, silenced by a combination of societal stigma and fear of reprisal. Buzbee has characterized these accounts as indicative of a culture of impunity, one that shielded powerful figures from accountability. The legal saga has grown even more complex with the involvement of other high-profile individuals. Among them is Jay-Z, who has been implicated in a parallel lawsuit accusing both him and Combs of sexually assaulting a minor during an after-party in 2000. Jay-Z has categorically denied the allegations, accusing Buzbee of extortion. “I have no idea how you've come to be such a deplorable human, Mr. Buzbee, but I promise you I've seen your kind many times over,” the rapper said in a public statement. These counter-allegations have further fueled public scrutiny, as two of the most iconic figures in music find themselves at the epicenter of an unprecedented legal and moral reckoning. Tony Buzbee's reputation as a polarizing yet formidable legal figure has only added to the media frenzy. A former Marine turned high-powered attorney, Buzbee's career has been marked by headline-grabbing cases, including those involving Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. His unapologetically aggressive and media-savvy approach has earned him both admirers and detractors. Critics label him as opportunistic, while supporters laud his commitment to amplifying the voices of marginalized victims. “We're a society where we typically don't believe the accuser,” Buzbee remarked during a recent press conference. “We blame the victim and, by extension, their advocates. That must change.” While Buzbee builds his case, Diddy's life behind bars presents a stark contrast to the opulence that once defined his world. Reports from the detention center depict the fallen mogul engaging in recreational activities with fellow inmates while grappling with the implosion of his public and professional life. Despite Combs' assertions of innocence, the evidence outlined in the lawsuits paints a damning portrait of a man who allegedly leveraged his fame and influence to perpetuate a culture of exploitation. The lawsuits describe a calculated network of enablers who facilitated and concealed these alleged abuses. Claims of blackmail, physical assaults, and even arson further underscore the extent to which power and fear were weaponized to silence dissent. For many victims, the pursuit of justice has been a long and grueling process, but the growing momentum behind these cases offers a glimmer of hope for systemic change. The broader cultural ramifications of these allegations are impossible to ignore. The accusations against Diddy are emblematic of a deeper societal issue—one that has historically allowed powerful figures to act with impunity. If the projections surrounding these cases hold true, the resulting trials could rival some of the largest scandals in recent history, forcing a reckoning across industries. Beyond the question of Diddy's guilt or innocence lies a more profound inquiry: who enabled such behavior, and what systemic failings allowed it to persist for so long? Public interest in the case remains fervent, with each new court appearance and revelation dominating headlines. The entertainment industry's silence has been deafening, as insiders grapple with the potential fallout. Privately, many within the industry acknowledge the “ripple effect” of these allegations, which have prompted some to reevaluate their own complicity in perpetuating a culture of silence. Meanwhile, victims' advocates argue that these lawsuits represent a crucial step toward accountability, not just for Combs but for an entire system that has historically failed to protect the vulnerable. As the trial date approaches, anticipation continues to build. The courtroom proceedings are expected to be both explosive and deeply consequential, with high-profile testimonies and potentially damning evidence likely to take center stage. For the victims, the trial represents an opportunity for validation and closure. For Diddy, it is a fight for his freedom and legacy. And for society at large, it is a moment to confront uncomfortable truths about power, privilege, and justice. The echoes of this case will undoubtedly reverberate far beyond the courtroom, shaping the future of accountability in the music industry and beyond. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Unleashed: The Political News Hour with Bruce Robertson – Trump has also announced that the entire transition will be privately funded and will not use government offices, computers, or cell phones in the transition process. This is clearly being done to increase security and create a closed loop of presidential communications to avoid a repeat of the last time he took office when...

In a blow to Donald Trump, Politico reports that GOP Senators are privately telling him that Matt Gaetz has little chance of getting confirmed as attorney general. Yet these Republicans hope Trump doesn't make them “walk the plank,” meaning they remain reluctant to publicly challenge him, even to sink the profoundly unfit Gaetz. In short, it's now clear that one of our only bulwarks against an authoritarian Trump will be the GOP Senate. We talked to writer Jill Lawrence, who has a new piece for The Bulwark arguing that Trump is assembling a “team of outlaws” to run the country. She explains what it means that Republicans are drawing a line against Gaetz—and why the pressure on them will be intense to challenge him when it really counts. Learn more about your ad choices.
