L'Iran sort-il renforcé de la guerre avec les États-Unis ? C'est l'analyse que fait Le Nouvel Obs dans son dernier numéro : « La République islamique n'est pas tombée comme Donald Trump le promettait, mais s'est transformée en un régime militariste et s'est probablement consolidée. » Pourtant, le régime a été « décapité », au début de la guerre (…) mais il a encaissé les pertes, remplaçant ses hauts dirigeants tués les uns après les autres », rappelle Le Nouvel Obs ». « Dans l'urgence, poursuit l'hebdomadaire, « l'Iran a muté et fortifié son noyau dur. Le pays est désormais dirigé par une garde rapprochée plus autoritaire, pragmatique, moins idéologique ». La sociologue franco-iranienne Azadeh Kian, nous dit Le Nouvel Obs, a ainsi déclaré dans la revue Le Grand Continent, « que le pays s'est transformé en un régime militariste, où les Gardiens de la révolution et d'autres forces armées jouent un rôle prépondérant, bien plus que les mollahs ». Le bilan, pour la population civile, est lourd. « Pour achever toute velléité de contestation, explique Le Nouvel Obs, les autorités iraniennes ont, depuis le début de la guerre, arrêté plus de 6 000 personnes – manifestants, journalistes, défenseurs des droits humains, dissidents – infligé des peines d'emprisonnement de plusieurs décennies et procédé à au moins 39 exécutions politiques, selon l'ONG Amnesty International. » Déception et nostalgie « Le fiasco du Brexit », c'est le titre choisi en Une par L'Express, qui ajoute : « Pourquoi les britanniques reviendront ». 2026 marque un anniversaire : il y a dix ans, les Britanniques choisissaient, par référendum, de quitter l'Union européenne. Résultat, selon L'Express : « Une décennie après son référendum, le Royaume-Uni soigne les plaies d'un divorce dévastateur et voit dans un rapprochement avec l'Union européenne sa planche de salut ». Si l'on en croit L'Express, « les deux camps, Brexiters comme Remainers [les pour et les contre] s'accordent sur les grandes lignes d'un bilan peu glorieux : le vote a déchiré le pays, l'a isolé sur la scène internationale, l'a rendu plus pauvre, n'a pas stoppé la vague migratoire et a déstabilisé sa vie politique. Un nouveau terme a même émergé pour désigner cette "tristesse nationale", précise L'Express : le "Bregret" mélange de "Brexit et regrets" ». D'où l'idée d'un rapprochement avec l'Union européenne. Quelques petits pas ont déjà été faits. L'Express mentionne ainsi que « Londres fera son retour dans le programme Erasmus (destiné aux étudiants européens) en 2027 ». Faute individuelle ou manque de moyens Les Français qui s'interrogent sur leur justice… C'est la mort de la petite Lyhanna, violée et assassinée début juin, qui amène les Français à s'interroger sur le fonctionnement de leur justice. « La mort de cette enfant de 11 ans, explique Le Nouvel Obs, a glacé les Français en mettant à nu une forme d'impuissance de l'État face au fléau de la pédocriminalité – et ce alors que 160 000 enfants subissent des violences sexuelles chaque année, soit une victime toutes les trois minutes ». Le Parisien Dimanche s'est procuré « le rapport d'inspection qui doit être publié [lundi] et qui pointe, nous dit-il, des erreurs individuelles davantage qu'un manque de moyens, pour expliquer les errements de l'enquête sur Jérôme Barella », le meurtrier présumé de Lyhanna. Le Parisien Dimanche prend pour exemple les déclarations d'une autre fillette, Rosa qui, en août 2025, avait « dénoncé avoir été victime de dizaines de viols » de la part de Jérôme Barella, mais dont le dossier « semble avoir été traité à la suite d'autres, sans priorité particulière, et sans que soit considéré la potentielle dangerosité du mis en cause ou sa capacité à faire de nouvelles victimes à tout moment ». Ce qui serait donc le résultats d'erreurs individuelles. Pourtant, le manque de moyens alloués à la justice en France a largement été commenté ces dernières semaines… L'Express revient sur ce point précis, en expliquant « que la France est en queue de peloton européen des moyens accordés à la justice ». « L'hexagone, poursuit l'hebdomadaire, compte près de quatre fois moins de procureurs, pour 100 000 habitants, que ses voisins ». Exemple : le Portugal, qui compte « près de 13 procureurs pour 100 000 habitants, contre 3,2 en France ». « La mort de trop » Le meurtre de Lyhanna a également suscité une vague de protestation dans la société civile. Cette vague de protestation a un visage, celui d'Andréa Bescond. Cette actrice et réalisatrice a révélé en 2010, « avoir été violée, dès l'âge de 8 ans, par un ami de ses parents ». Elle en a fait une pièce de théâtre intitulée « Les Chatouilles », qui deviendra un film par la suite. « À 47 ans, elle est aujourd'hui une figure emblématique du combat pour la protection de l'enfance », remarque Le Nouvel Obs. Depuis le meurtre de Lyhanna, elle appelle les Français à se rassembler tous les lundis à 19 heures, devant les tribunaux. « Comment est née l'idée ? » lui demande Le Nouvel Obs. « C'est venu d'un ras-le-bol, répond-elle. Lyhanna, c'est l'injustice de trop, la mort de trop ».

This week, deep breath, we're delving back into the Brexit years, after a new book about the failed campaign for a second EU referendum is published this week.It tells the story of a rag-tag bunch of Remainers, Europhiles and progressives coming together out of the anti-Brexit movement following the vote to leave in 2016, hoping to drag the country back to the ballot box in the hope of a different outcome.How they got closer than anyone might have expected, and why they ultimately fell short, is the subject of 'No Second Chances The Inside Story of the Campaign for a Second EU Referendum, by the journalist Morgan Jones.Host Alain Tolhurst spoke to her about why that period between 2017 and 2019 has been "memory-holed" by most in Westminster, and what we can learn from that period about how the current government, led by the one-time shadow Brexit Secretary Keir Starmer, is reshaping our relationship with the EU.Speaking alongside her is the Labour MP Andrew Lewin, who back then founded and ran the 'Remain Labour' group, and Anand Menon, Professor of European Politics at King's College London, and the director of the UK In a Changing Europe think tank.To sign up for our newsletters click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced by Nick Hilton and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot
Wrapping up the stories of the week, Jacob Jarvis is joined by Alex von Tunzelmann to dig into the fallout from Trump's frenetic first week of 2026. From military intervention in Venezuela to the looming threat to seize control of Greenland, the President kicks off America's 250th year with a bang. Plus, should Remainers be getting excited about Keir Starmer's plan to reset the UK's relationship with the EU? And finally, Alex's under-the-radar story takes us to Texas, where a proposal to ban the teaching of Plato has become the latest front in the culture war. www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Jacob Jarvis with Alex von Tunzelmann.

De BBC World Service, de meest beluisterde nieuwszender wereldwijd, staat onder druk: er moet simpelweg veel meer geld bij, terwijl de Britse regering er juist geld van af wil snoepen. Critici zeggen dat BBC World Service juist een essentieel, als niet het meeste essentiele onderdeel is van soft power. Hoe belangrijk soft power is voor het imago en de herkenbaarheid van het Verenigd Ko9ninktijk bespreken we tijdens deze uitzending. Maar ook als het op soft power aankomt blijft geld heel belangrijk. Ook in deze aflevering Negen jaar na Brexit houdt The Remainers’ Bible het voor gezien: Al die tijd heeft de wekelijkse krant The new European zich verzet tegen de stemming van 2016. Maar nu laten ze Brexit achter zich en gaan verder onder de naam ‘The New World ’. Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee. Elke woensdag krijg je een nieuwe podcast over het leven van Van Bekhovens Britten in je podcastapp. Scherpe analyses, diepgang waar op de radio geen tijd voor is en een flinke portie humor. Abonneer en mis geen aflevering.

On the eve of the 2024 General Election, we're tackling one of the UK's most divisive topics; Brexit.The 2016 referendum on EU membership split voters in two, creating two entrenched camps - Brexiteers and Remainers - whose differences show no signs of abating 8 years later. To better understand this political hot potato, we're charting Britain's relationship with the EU from the 1950s all the way up to the present day.Dan is joined by Tim Bale, Professor of Politics at Queen Mary University of London. Tim explains why Britain first pursued closer integration with Europe, and how various factors saw the Brexit movement eventually gain traction.Produced by Mariana Des Forges and James Hickmann, and edited by Dougal Patmore.Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.

Part of the Enduring Disorder is our increasingly divided and partisan narratives. Trump vs. Biden, Leavers against Remainers, Palestinians and Israelis. Many of today's political actors appear unable to understand and empathise with their opponent's points of view. Why? Potential because social media, cancel culture, and increased partisanship seems to have actually decreased people's ability to feel empathy or to desire it from their politicians. But should all our politicians just be more empathetic? Actually electorally that might not work. Do Democrats actually want to see Biden empathise with Speaker Johnson blocking aid to Ukraine? Would Labour voters accept it if Kier Starmer had sympathy with Boris Johnson lying to parliament? And does the Israeli electorate want a politician who has empathy for why Hamas committed the atrocities of Oct 7? So what does empathy really mean in geopolitics? And how can it actually be put into practice in today's politics? Most crucially how could a genuinely empathetic politics be useful in trying to order the disorder? To find out, Jason Pack is joined by Dr Claire Yorke. She is an author and academic whose work explores the role and limitations of empathy and emotions in international relations, diplomacy, strategy, and political leadership. She is currently a Senior Lecturer at the Australian War College in Canberra. Jason and Claire discuss: what exactly is empathy? Can or should you empathise with someone that you fundamentally disagree with? And could empathetic leadership help us Order the Disorder?

The Labour Party first took office on 22nd January 1924. In the century that followed it has only had six prime ministers and been in power for a total of 33 years. The Labour MP Jon Cruddas looks back at A Century of Labour – the successes and failures. While the Party has been riven by factions from the left and the right, Cruddas also looks at the competing visions of the what the Party represents.The Labour Party was born out of the increase in franchise, the industrialisation of the workforce and unions, and in its early days class was a key factor in voting patterns. The political scientist Jane Green is a specialist in public opinion and electoral behaviour. She argues that the Brexit vote created a new divide between Leavers and Remainers, and considers the significant impact of age and education on voting habits.With an election due this year all political parties will be preparing their manifestos and presenting their vision of the future. The Professor of Politics at the London School of Economics, Jonathan White, focuses on the future as a political idea in The Long Run. While the democratic electoral cycle foregrounds short term policies, White argues it's time for politicians to consider long-term solutions.Producer: Katy Hickman
Brexit was necessary but insufficient, as the UK remains mired in the anti-democratic pathologies of 'member statehood'. Two of the authors of Taking Control: Sovereignty and Democracy After Brexit - Bungacast and UCL's Phil Cunliffe and LSE's Peter Ramsay - join us to discuss their novel thesis on the history of the EU, how Leavers and Remainers alike misunderstood the meaning of Brexit, and why only leaving NATO, unifying Ireland, seceding from Britain's remaining colonial territories, and abolishing the House of Lords can finish the job!

In our fourth Wednesday Night Fightback, Michael Taylor and William Clouston discuss attitudes to Brexit. Despite the name-calling and the media's determination that the Brexit vote should cause incurable rifts, there are areas of agreement and shared concerns between ‘Leavers' and ‘Remainers'.

Chris — an old friend and, in my view, one of the sharpest right-of-center writers in journalism — returns to the Dishcast. A senior fellow at the Claremont Institute and contributing editor to the Claremont Review of Books, his latest book, The Age of Entitlement, is a constitutional narrative of the last half-century that is indispensable — especially for liberals — in understanding the roots of our polarization. We discussed the book last year. This time on the pod, Chris has just returned from Europe and discusses the rapidly shifting politics there.For two clips of our convo — on how one-child families could be the downfall of Putin's war, and how Biden is co-opting Trump on border policy and China — pop over to our YouTube page. Other topics: Meloni and the US media meltdown, Truss, Remainers vs. Leavers, Boris, the energy crisis, possible off-ramps for the war, Russian dissenters, and the waning of American exceptionalism when it comes to religion.

SHORT SHARP SHROP: Christmas comes early as Johnson's Tories are utterly humiliated in the North Shropshire by-election, with the ignominious loss of a 23,000-vote majority in a Tory heartland – and the biggest swing to the Lib Dems since 1993. What brought about this debacle: sleaze, scandal, Christmas parties, Johnson selling out farmers, Owen Paterson's arrogance, or Johnson's own repellent personality? And did Labour play it right by not campaigning too hard? Ros, Naomi and Dorian gather for a nice hot glass of mulled schadenfreude. “This shows there isn't yet huge appetite for a Starmer government. What there is, is disgust at the Conservative government.” – Ros Taylor “Unlike Chesham and Amersham this wasn't Remainers' Revenge. This was very much a verdict on Johnson.” – Naomi Smith “The Paterson affair shows Johnson's fatal flaw: hubris. This will be his downfall.” – Ros Taylor Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Naomi Smith and Ros Taylor. Assistant producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Audio production by Robin Leeburn.

The Brexit Bounce continues, and predictions that the sky would fall in, everything would run short, and we wouldn't even get our medicine have tumbled one after the other. The fate of the car industry after Brexit was one of the most commonly deployed tropes. And so, when Nissan made its announcement last week that it was investing £1 billion in Sunderland in a new electric car development, there was much rejoicing – except amongst the most embittered Remainers. To discuss how Brexit's going, we invited esteemed economist and former banking guru Dr. Gerard Lyons aboard Sputnik. Portugal, like Spain and Greece, was a dictatorship until the middle of the 1970s. All three dictatorships had similarities and differences. In Greece, it was a military junta; in Spain, El Caudillo General Franco, the flamboyant fascist whose thousands of graves are still being uncovered; and then there was the forgotten man, the Portuguese dictator Salazar. Antonio Salazar ruled Portugal from 1932 to 1968, when he was succeeded by his protege Marcelo Caetano. The whole show was overthrown in the Portuguese carnation revolution of 1974. There's a whole generation of people who've never heard of Salazar and so, 51 years after his death, author of new book ‘Salazar: The Dictator Who Refused to Die' Tom Gallagher, emeritus professor of politics at Bradford University, is more than timely in boarding Sputnik.
James O'Brien and I disagree on a lot - as you'd expect, I'm a socialist, he's a liberal - but we have a very amicable chat about his disappointment with Keir Starmer, our different views on Jeremy Corbyn, about whether Remainers should have pushed for a soft Brexit rather than betting the house on Remain, about Boris Johnson, the right-wing media and Andrew Neil.Please subscribe and help us take on the right-wing media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

Many small firms can identify with Nimisha Raja's view of Brexit: "We have absolutely no idea what's going on." Ms Raja, founder and boss of Nim's Fruit Crisps, stockpiled supplies last year in the run-up to the original Brexit date in March. But she told the BBC she had no plans to do the same ahead of 31 October. Ms Raja is not alone. New research by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) shows 41% of UK firms have done no risk assessment on the impact of Brexit. What is going on with Brexit, we all need to know. Mark and Pete tease out the options.
For the second time in a week, James Delingpole and Toby Young take to the microphones to keep us up to date on the latest machinations of the Remainers and the state of Brexit with a special edition of London Calling. Is this a moment of reckoning for both the country and the Conservative Party? Is this the Conservative Party voters have been waiting for? Source
There is plenty of constitutional outcry on the front pages of the British papers today, which all lead with Boris Johnson's decision to suspend parliament ahead of the looming Brexit deadline. Front pages from abroad show the international press is transfixed too. There is “Outrage as Johnson suspends parliament” according to the Guading newspaper. The paper leads with John Bercow's comments that the decision was a “constitutional outrage” and the paper's leader says: “Johnson's move represents a grotesque abuse of the country's highest office”. Is the the end of democracy in Britain, or something entirely different?
First up this week on The United Kingdom's Most Trusted Podcast® James and Toby turn their eyes towards America and the shootings in El Paso and Dayton and the role, if any, that the rhetoric of the Left and Right contributes to the problem. Then they get more domestic and the touch on the dwindling hopes of the Remainers in the wake of Boris Johnson's entrance into Number 10. Toby then calls for... Source

The Hearing is back. And it's back with a great big Brexit bang. Amongst the din and clatter of the chaos that has encapsulated the country, several key figures have emerged.
