durée : 00:58:01 - Le Grand Reportage - par : Aurélie Kieffer - Le 21 juin 2024, une crue torrentielle a détruit en grande partie le hameau de la Bérarde, à Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans (Isère). Reportage sur le sort de ce hameau qui accueillait les amateurs de randonnée, escalade, alpinisme, mais aussi le plus petit festival international de films de montagne. - réalisation : Axel Dubois - invités : Philippe Bourdeau professeur émérite à l'Institut d'Urbanisme et de Géographie Alpine, Université Grenoble-Alpes / UMR PACTE / LabEx ITTEM, co-coordinateur scientifique du programme Refuges sentinelles/HutObsTour

« Le Lesotho, un pays dont personne n'a jamais entendu parler », disait Donald Trump en mars dernier au moment de passer en revue les aides internationales américaines pour y mettre fin. Si les décisions du président américain, commerciales et humanitaires, font craindre le pire pour ce petit royaume de 2 millions d'habitants enclavé dans l'Afrique du Sud, les habitants veulent utiliser cette moquerie pour justement faire connaître leur pays et sa culture. Parce que le Lesotho, ce n'est pas seulement un pays pauvre frappé par le VIH, c'est aussi un royaume indépendant avec une histoire riche et une jeunesse urbaine dynamique. De notre envoyé spécial de retour de Maseru,Dans un café de Maseru, trois hommes partagent un verre sous un grand parasol. Ils ont évidemment entendu la phrase du président américain : « Le Lesotho est devenu viral sur les réseaux sociaux, et j'étais très heureux. Je me suis dit, "nous ne sommes pas responsables de la naïveté de Trump, mais nous serons responsables si nous n'utilisons pas cette vitrine médiatique". »La course contre-la-montre est lancée pour surfer sur cet extrait devenu viral et parler du Lesotho. Mais ici, il y a peu de musées pour raconter son histoire. Tseli Motsoane a donc lancé son propre projet d'archivage : « Nous avons des coupures de presse. Là, c'est une ancienne carte de Maseru, ici vous avez Maseru-Ouest, où nous irons plus tard. Regardez, c'est indiqué : "Refuges des militants de l'ANC". »À lire aussiLe Lesotho «choqué» après les déclarations de Donald Trump sur le paysLa jeune historienne, bonnet en laine vert sur la tête, connaît la ville comme sa poche. Elle est née ici : « Voilà l'ancien hôpital Queen Elizabeth II. On est beaucoup à être nés ici ! »Un hôpital au cœur de la ville, dans cette capitale animée d'un peu moins de 500 000 habitants. Capitale qui a accueilli de nombreux militants anti-apartheid. Un volet de l'histoire parfois oublié que Tseli Motsoane veut réhabiliter : « Là où nous sommes, c'était autrefois un quartier blanc. Parce que la ségrégation a existé ici. C'est juste que ça n'a pas été aussi loin qu'en Afrique du Sud. Et nous avons défendu nos frères et sœurs d'Afrique du Sud, jusqu'à subir des massacres au Lesotho. »« Ici, c'est le "BNP". C'était le siège du Parti national Basotho, le premier parti à être entré au gouvernement après l'indépendance. C'était leur quartier général à l'époque. Aujourd'hui, c'est un centre commercial, mais le nom n'a pas changé. »À lire aussiLe continent africain frappé par les nouvelles taxes américaines imposées par Donald TrumpLe soleil se couche sur le paysage montagneux du Lesotho, nous terminons notre visite à « Maseru-Ouest », lieu de culture où de nombreux militants sud-africains s'étaient réfugiés pendant l'Apartheid. Tseli Motsoane nous invite à la projection d'un court métrage. Là-bas, nous rencontrons Lineo, une écrivaine de Maseru : « Quand on parle de la France, on pense à la haute couture. La Suisse, c'est le chocolat. Mais quand on parle du Lesotho, c'est directement le VIH. Et maintenant, les taxes. Il n'y a donc que ça qui nous caractérise ? »À la fin du film, le jeune réalisateur est largement acclamé par son public. Loin des débats sur l'aide au développement ou sur le commerce, le Lesotho, c'est aussi ça : des jeunes déterminés avec des rêves plein la tête.

Pastor Shaun & Pastor Mike sit down with Mark and Joani Akers to discuss how Christians should respond to the refugees that are moving into our cities and neighborhoods.  Mark and Joani have spent the last several decades serving families seeking refuge in the greater St. Louis area through a ministry they founded in 1989 called Oasis Internatioanl.  This organization was birthed out of a desire to live out their faith in Jesus in very practical ways by loving and welcoming our new neighbors who often arrive with very little.If you want to serve or give to Oasis, click the link below.  https://www.oasis4refugees.org/  Thanks for listening!

As waterfowlers peer ahead to the approaching hunting season, botulism has become a headline in the West and state agencies have released results from their 2024 waterfowl breeding population surveys. Today's conversation begins with Jeff McCreary, DU's director of operations for the Western Region, giving the latest update on avian botulism in the Klamath Basin and the solutions that DU and partners are trying to deliver. We then go across the country with Nathan Ratchford, Dr. Dan Smith, Dr. John Coluccy, and Dr. Mike Brasher to review results from state waterfowl surveys in California, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. What were population and habitat conditions like this spring? How do these data inform harvest regulations and our knowledge of duck populations? And what can hunters take from these surveys as we await the release of the much larger U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service waterfowl status report.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

Avec une nouvelle émission chaque semaine : https://m.audiomeans.fr/s/S-tavkjvmo Ce sont des lieux à part, où se jouent des huis clos d'altitude. Des lieux de passage, de départ, de retour : les refuges de montagne. Dans le grand récit de la haute montagne les alpinistes ont le premier rôle. Leurs aventures, exploits, tragédies nous tiennent en haleine. Leurs épopées sont incontournables, mais il en est une qui ne l'est pas moins. C'est celle qui a découlé de l'idée de construire dans les hauts lieux, afin de donner un abri à ceux qui y passent. C'est la grande aventure des refuges. Aujourd'hui, il est aussi au carrefour d'enjeux sociétaux et climatiques. Leur existence même constitue souvent une prouesse pour ceux qui les ont construits et la vie de leurs gardiens interpelle toujours par sa singularité. Monter en refuge, c'est partir ailleurs, larguer les amarres pour s'élever. Les aventures s'y préparent, s'y finissent, s'y racontent. Parfois, elles en restent là. Souvent, le refuge est la condition essentielle pour que ces aventures puissent s'imaginer et peut-être voir le jour. Aucun doute, le refuge a toute sa place dans le grand récit de l'altitude. Du moins, dans nos contrées où il est partie intégrante de notre rêve de montagne. Quel alpiniste n'a pas rêvé d'une nuit à l'Aigle ? Alors, à nouveau, allons là-haut vers ces cabanes visiter leur histoire, leur présent et peut-être imaginer leur futur. Hervé Bodeau est notre invité par téléphone

This episode was recorded on January 4th, 2024. Erin Pizzey, born in China with her twin sister Kate, settled in England after a childhood of frequent moves due to her diplomat father. In 1971, she opened the world's first women's refuge in Chiswick, London, and later established numerous shelters during the 1970s and 1980s. Erin became well-known for her court battles over overcrowded refuges and her appearances on top chat shows, earning a reputation as a crusader for the destitute. Her advocacy extended to squatting in properties to provide shelter. Erin brought domestic violence to public attention, compelling authorities to address the issue. She moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the 1980s after receiving death threats for highlighting female-perpetrated abuse, as detailed in her book "Prone to Violence." She returned to London in 1997 and advocated for male abuse victims, becoming a patron of ManKind Initiative and Families Need Fathers. In 2013, Erin joined the advisory board of A Voice for Men and appeared in the 2016 documentary "The Red Pill." In 2023, she was featured in "Erin: Beyond the Bruises." Erin authored several cult classics, including "Scream Quietly or the Neighbours Will Hear" and "This Way to the Revolution: A Memoir." She believes domestic abuse is generational and not gender-specific, advocating for multi-generational therapy to break the cycle of violence.   Find more from Erin: Erin in Cassie Jaye's landmark documentary The Red Pill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irVB8b0zhQI Why I loathe feminism by Erin Pizzey: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1215464/Why-I-loathe-feminism---believe-ultimately-destroy-family.html Erin Pizzey documentary: http://film-directory.britishcouncil.org/erin-beyond-the-bruises Erin on family dynamics / the breakdown of the family: https://youtu.be/53Gmx_wfft8 Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7F4GFHI2oY   Connect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tammy.m.peterson Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TammyPetersonPodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tammypetersonpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/Tammy1Peterson Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/TammyPetersonPodcast

A Clare TD has labelled the scarcity of women's refuges in the county a "dismal prospect". Independent TD Violet Anne-Wynne has made the comments during a Dáil debate on "tackling all forms of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence". One of the main goals of Cuan - the state agency for domestic, sexual and gender-based violence established last year - is to deliver 280 accessible refuge accommodation units by 2026. Kilrush Deputy Wynne insists it must be made clear if and when Clare will see increased provision of safe spaces.

The Forbes Biological Station in Havanna, Illinois, is North American's oldest inland wildlife research station. Over its 130-year history, it has become one of our greatest sources of scientific information for waterfowl ecology and management. In this episode, Dr. Mike Brasher visits with current staff of the Station – Dr. Auriel Fournier, Josh Osborne, and Therin Bradshaw – to celebrate the 130-year anniversary; pay tribute to its pioneering leaders of the name Forbes, Bellrose, Havera, and others; and reflect on the Station's contributions on topics including wood ducks, migration ecology, aerial surveys, lead poisoning, sanctuary management, wetland management, foraging ecology, and new research on duck foods and the effect of hunting disturbance on bird movements. And hear also what it's like to flip through the pages of an 84-year-old field notebook of Dr. Frank Bellrose.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

La Suisse, une terre de refuge pour les célébrités. On ne compte plus le nombre de stars qui ont séjourné dans ce pays et celles qui y résident encore aujourd'hui. Les raisons de ces exils sont variées : fiscalité, climat, paysage, situation géographique, mais avant tout la tranquillité. La discrétion des Helvètes, valeur érigée en vertu convient très bien à ces résidents qui souffrent parfois de leur trop plein de notoriété. En 1952, c'est une star mondiale qui décide de poser sa canne et son chapeau dans le canton de Vaud. Charlie Chaplin vient de se voir retirer son visa de résident aux Etats-Unis pour cause de sympathie avec les communistes. La chasse aux sorcières menée par le sénateur McCarthy et le FBI d'Edgard Hoover à Hollywood propulsent l'artiste en tête d'affiche du dénigrement à la sauce guerre froide.

Chris Jennings and Dr. Mike Brasher discuss updates from across the world of waterfowl. Reports are emerging of minor avian flu outbreaks across the US. What do you need to know? How have recent weather patterns influenced migration and hunting. What's behind above average duck counts in Missouri and record lows in Louisiana? Get the latest update on duckDNA, and learn about new science on the dogs of Chernobyl. Lastly, we dispel myths about HIP certification and harvest estimation.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

Host Chris Jennings is joined by Jay Anglin, WF360 Great Lakes migration editor, and the two discuss current conditions across the Great Lakes Region. Anglin, who keeps a keen eye on the migration in the region went into detail about Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin, while touching on other Great Lakes states. Warmer temperatures have the puddle duck migration stalled out, but Anglin has heard of many hunters overcoming this and having success. For more details, download and listen.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast
