Heute mit Stimmen zum G7-Gipfel in Frankreich sowie dem Referendum in der Schweiz über einen Bevölkerungsdeckel. Zunächst geht es aber um die Einigung zwischen den USA und dem Iran auf ein Rahmenabkommen zur Beendigung des Krieges. www.deutschlandfunk.de, Internationale Presseschau
Zwei Themen dominieren die Kommentarspalten: Der Umgang mit der Afd mit Blick auf die Landtagswahlen im September in Sachsen-Anhalt, Berlin und Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und das gestrige Referendum in der Schweiz. www.deutschlandfunk.de, Presseschau
Der Zürcher Kantonsrat hat die Verlängerung der Glattalbahn um rund 3.3 Kilometer vom Flughafen Zürich bis Kloten Industrie genehmigt. Das 543-Millionen-Franken-Paket beinhaltet neben dem Bahnausbau auch Hochwasserschutz und eine neue Veloroute – gegen die sich die SVP vergeblich wehrte. Weitere Themen: · Die Zürcher Nachtruhe-Initiative für mehr Schutz vor Fluglärm dürfte nicht vors Volk kommen. Der Kantonsrat hat dem Gegenvorschlag zugestimmt, womit die Initiantinnen ihre Initiative zurückziehen wollen – sofern kein Referendum ergriffen wird. · Das Spital Wetzikon erhält einen letzten zeitlichen Aufschub: Die definitive Nachlassstundung wird um sechs Monate verlängert, da offenbar der Verfkauf an eine Investorin bevorstünde. · Nach dem Nein zum modernen TCS-Campingplatz am Winterthurer Schützenweiher ist offen, wie es mit dem alten Camping dort weitergeht. Die AL lanciert deshalb eine Initiative, die das Dauercampen ausdrücklich erlauben soll.

Afghánské ženy nesmějí studovat, cestovat bez mužského doprovodu ani veřejně promlouvat tak, aby je slyšeli cizí muži. Hnutí Tálibán, které je v Afghánistánu u moci už téměř pět let, skrz nový trestní zákoník znovu ukrojilo z jejich svobod. Za zprávami o nových dekretech, které extremističtí duchovní vydali, se ale skrývá mnohem složitější příběh. A netýká se jen žen samotných. Jak se v Afghánistánu dnes žije? Proč o něm slyšíme většinou jen na pozadí boje za ženská práva? A jak se v zemi otiskla dvacetiletá přítomnost amerických vojáků?Do podcastu MDŽ přijaly pozvání novinářka Deníku Referendum a psychoterapeutka afghánského původu Fatima Rahimi a politoložka a islamoložka z Filozofické fakulty Univerzity Karlovy a Filosofického ústavu Akademie věd Zora Hesová.

Switzerland could become the first country in the world to put a legal cap on its population. In a referendum this weekend, voters will decide whether to limit the country's population to 10 million people — which currently stands at 9.1 million. Also, today marks one year since an Air India flight bound for London crashed, killing all but one of the 260 people onboard, but a much-anticipated report from an investigation did not arrive on the anniversary, leaving victims' families without answers. Also, Mexico opened the World Cup with a 2–0 win over South Africa, but for many fans in Mexico City, the celebrations have unfolded far from the stadium. Plus, a new treatment in Brazil could offer a path to recovery for millions of people with spinal cord injuries around the world.Your support is critical in sustaining our nonprofit newsroom.

This Day in Maine for Thursday, June 11th, 2026.
Amber Ruddy and Keith McLaughlin join Alberta Edge to debate whether the province's two main Tory leaders are successfully calming separatist tensions. Premier Danielle Smith, who leads Alberta's UCP, and Pierre Poilievre, leader of the federal Conservatives, are arguably on the same federalist side—but are taking different approaches to handling grievance politics. The conversation also touches on the pipeline MOU, internal UCP tensions, First Nations backlash, and the increasingly volatile political atmosphere surrounding Alberta's referendum season.

Aktuell steht die Bündner Hauptstadt finanziell noch gut da. In den letzten fünf Jahren wurden jedoch über 300 Millionen Franken investiert. Die Selbstfinanzierungsquote ist dabei immer kleiner geworden. Der Stadtrat hat nun ein Konzept erarbeitet, das Investitionen priorisiert. Weitere Themen: · Nach Kopftuchverbot: Der St. Galler Kantonsrat hat gestern einem Verbot religiöser Symbole bei Lehrpersonen zugestimmt. Was bedeutet das für Lehrerinnen und Lehrer? · Vorfall in Postauto: In Reute soll ein Mann ein Schulkind auf dem Schulweg in einem Postauto gestossen haben. Die Gemeinde ergreift weitere Massnahmen. · Referendum angekündigt: Der St. Galler Kantonsrat hat gestern ein faktisches Verbot von Tempo-30-Zonen beschlossen. Der VCS hat nun angekündigt, dagegen ein Referendum zu ergreifen. · Bussen am WEF: Die Stadt Davos hat in 36 Fällen Bussen verteilt, da temporäre Bauten während des WEF nicht den Vorschriften entsprachen. Sieben Verfahren seien noch hängig, heisst es jetzt von der Gemeinde.

A referendum on Alberta's future is set for this fall, and while support for outright separation remains relatively low, the debate has sparked conversations across the country about Western alienation, federal-provincial relations, and what it means to be part of Confederation. Dr. Robert-Falcon Ouellette, Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa, former Member of Parliament, and an expert on Canadian politics, constitutional issues, and Indigenous affairs, spoke to Andrew Carter.

Klassenlehrpersonen organisieren Lager, Elternabende, Schulausflüge. Sie sind Ansprechpersonen für Zukunftsängste, bei Konflikten, bei Spezialfällen. Sie sind die Schnittstelle zwischen Schule, Eltern, Schülerinnen und Schülern. Und daneben unterrichten sie ja auch noch ganz normal ihre Fächer. Fast immer mehrere. Die Aufgabe von Klassenlehrpersonen ist also anspruchsvoll. Und sie wird immer anspruchsvoller, sagen die, die den Job machen. Die Lehrerinnen und Lehrer merken das in Form von immer mehr Überstunden, die nicht in ihrem Lohn enthalten sind. Die Kantone merken es, weil sie immer weniger Lehrpersonen finden, die auch Klassenlehrperson sein wollen. Wie hat sich die Aufgabe der Klassenlehrerinnen und -lehrer verändert? Warum schaltet sich jetzt vermehrt die Politik ein? Welche Lösungen gibt es? Und braucht es künftig überhaupt mehr Klassenlehrpersonen als heute? In einer neuen Folge des täglichen Podcasts «Apropos» spricht Bildungsredaktorin Claudia Blumer über die anspruchsvollen Aufgaben von Klassenlehrpersonen und warum sich die Politik zunehmend in den Schuldiskurs einschaltet.

Im Herbst 2025 hatten Proteste der jungen Bevölkerungsmehrheit, der GenZ, in Madagaskar zu einem Regimewechsel geführt. Auslöser war die Wasserkrise in dem südostafrikanischen Inselstaat. Eine militärgeführte Übergangsregierung verspricht nun Lösungen. Aber die Skepsis bleibt. Madagaskar hat schon viele Krisen und Regimewechsel erlebt. Es sei wie ein Land des ständigen Neuanfangs, der immer wieder scheitert, beschreibt Historiker Harilala Ranjatohery die Situation in seiner Heimat. Die GenZ-Proteste im letzten Herbst haben bei ihm jedoch leise Hoffnungen geweckt. Sie hatten sich zuerst am Thema Wasser entzündet - denn selbst in den Wohnungen der Hauptstadt Antananarivo kommt kaum ein Tropfen mehr, weil die öffentlichen Gelder für die Infrastruktur in korrupten Kanälen versickert sind. In den Provinzen führen Misswirtschaft und Klimawandel zu Dauerdürren, Hunger und chronischer Mangelernährung. Die neue militärgeführte Übergangsregierung hat grundlegende Reformen, ein Referendum und demokratische Wahlen 2027 versprochen. In der Protestbewegung jedoch wachsen Zweifel, ob diesen Versprechen auch Taten folgen. Einige junge Leute wollen nicht darauf warten, sondern arbeiten selbst an Lösungen, um die Krise zu lösen und Perspektiven zu schaffen.
In just a few months, Alberta voters may weigh a referendum on separation as a coalition pushes the case for staying in Canada. What's driving the renewed separatist push, and how strong is the argument against it? Jen Gerson of The Line and Lead Not Leave joins us. Then, Ottawa's climate agenda under scrutiny after the Carney government scrapped the consumer carbon price, EV mandate, and oil and gas cap. Is this a retreat from climate action or a policy reset? Martha Hall Findlay and Caroline Brouillette weigh in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
You can watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/82lXs84p8_MThis week on Planet Normal, your co-pilots of sanity, Liam Halligan and Allison Pearson, confront the tragic murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak and the national outrage surrounding the police's handling of the case. Marking the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum with former Vote Leave chief executive, Lord Matthew Elliott, the duo reflects on the original promise of leaving the EU and how the podcast itself was born out of a shared taxi ride following a celebration of that historic vote.Allison delivers a searing indictment of the "woke indoctrination" paralysing British policing, highlighting how diversity, equity, and inclusion targets have trained common sense and humanity out of officers, leading to the inhumane treatment of a dying victim while his killer was treated with total decency. On Brexit, Liam uses his column to bust the persistent "Project Fear" myths, pointing out that the UK has actually outgrown France and Germany since 2016. However, he laments that successive governments have failed to capitalise on regulatory freedoms and instead allowed immigration to soar to historic highs.HighlightsPlanet Normal: 10 years on from the Referendum, have we even had Brexit yet?The police failed Henry Novak, and DEI continues to fail us all10 Years of Brexit: A deep dive into the economic realities of the post-referendum UK, detailing missed deregulation opportunities alongside strong export growthSign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

Alberta is the new angsty teenager of Canada, but no matter how much they whine and slam doors, their referendum on separation from Canada is an exercise in futility. The messaging from Trump seems to have changed from seeding hints of a possible coup to talk of who will succeed him in the Oval Office at the next election. Though the overt planning to disrupt the US midterm elections continues unabated.

Iran and the Strait of Hormuz crisis reveal how much we owe to our merchant marinersThis week, Nick Cohen talks to author, travel writer and writer-mariner Horatio Clare about the hidden world of merchant marines and the critical role they play in global trade. Horatio shares insights from his experience as a writer-in-residence on container ships, describing the challenging conditions faced by seafarers stuck in the Gulf during the ongoing conflict, including extreme heat, isolation, and the constant threat of Iranian drone attacks. They discuss how modern shipping relies on a largely invisible workforce of approximately 18 people per large vessel, predominantly from countries like the Philippines, who maintain the world's supply chains while facing dangerous working conditions and minimal oversight.Horatio explains how containerisation moved ports away from cities, making shipping less visible to the public while simultaneously making globalisation possible, with shipping costs representing just one cent for goods transported globally.

Referendum on Box Elder County data facility won't be on November ballot Planning for your child's educational future Trump Accounts launch; "Anti-weaponization" fund hits a snag Mosquitos learning to like DEET Gala to promote hope and prevent suicide Previewing this week's movie: Pressure
The application to get a referendum on the ballot in Box Elder County -- over the proposed data center -- has been rejected and will not be on the ballot in November. But the process to stop the data center isn't over yet; the group leading the charge against the proposal says it will take the issue to court. The county attorney denied the referendum application, saying the county commission's decision was administrative, not legislative. But the group disagrees with that analysis, saying a 2018 Utah Supreme Court decision proves it is legislative, so the people should get to have a say in it. During this segment, Governor Spencer Cox also signed an executive order that raises the bar on future data center developments; Greg and Holly discuss this breaking development.
As separatist sentiment swirls across Alberta, the country has been holding it's breath and wondering: "will we face another separation referendum?" It seemed inevitable, as Premier Danielle Smith changed the rules to make putting a referendum forward easier. But a court decision rejected their petition on the grounds that Indigenous peoples who would be affected were not properly consulted. Smith has since announced a compromise, of sorts: a referendum on whether or not to have a separation referendum. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Ryan Jespersen, host of "Real Talk", an Alberta daily news and politics show, to get the perspective from the ground, and discuss how she has managed to anger both federalist and separatist Albertans.

Western Premiers gathered in Kananskis, Alberta this week to discuss shared issues like trade, defense and energy projects. But another topic overshadowed the meetings: Alberta separatism. Late last week, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced the province will hold a referendum on the prospect of independence in the fall. But rather than a straight question about leaving Canada, the referendum will ask Albertans whether they support another referendum on seceding. The question has both separatists and federalists upset.Kathleen Petty, host of the CBC podcast West of Centre, and Jason Markusoff, writer and producer with CBC in Alberta, join us to talk through the fallout. What does this mean for the country, for Albertans and for Smith herself?For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Is instability the new normal with the UK's broken polticis.In this week's Lowdown podcast, Nick Cohen talks to author and historian Robert Saunders about Britain's transition from decades of political stability to having six prime ministers in ten years and how this reflects deep systemic pressures rather than just poor individual leadership. Robert explains that modern leaders have faced an unprecedented convergence of global crises—including Brexit, COVID-19, and soaring public debt—with very little governance experience. He views Brexit as both a symptom of long-term political decline and an amplifier that polarized the electorate into rigid identities and normalised political dishonesty.Unlike the unstable 1920s, which maintained experienced leadership and defended democratic norms against extremism, today's crisis is unprecedented because both major parties have lost their traditional social roots, resulting in a highly volatile electorate. This instability is compounded by massive public debt, which severely constrains government action. Rather than addressing these constraints honestly, modern politicians have largely abandoned their "educative" role, choosing to hide difficult economic trade-offs from the public.This systemic decay is further accelerated by a plutocratic assault on democracy, led by billionaire-controlled platforms and populist media that actively promote anti-establishment sentiment. Robert argues that mainstream politicians must stop legitimising this "anti-politics" rhetoric and instead actively defend democratic institutions by highlighting their tangible successes. Ultimately, he warns that universal suffrage is less than a century old, and citizens must stop acting as complacent "vandals" of a highly fragile democratic ecosystem.Read all about it!
