L'émission 28 minutes du 11/12/2025 15 ans après sa révolution, la Tunisie est-elle en train de replonger dans la dictature ?Le 17 décembre 2010 en Tunisie, Mohamed Bouazizi, s'immole par le feu après s'être fait confisquer sa marchandise, faute des autorisations requises. Sa mort devient le symbole de la révolution tunisienne servant de modèle aux autres révolutions arabes. Quinze ans plus tard, l'ONG Human Rights Watch s'interroge sur le retour de la dictature alors que plusieurs opposants politiques du gouvernement sont emprisonnés. Nous recevons Myriam Marzouki, metteuse en scène et dramaturge franco-tunisienne. Son dernier spectacle, "Nos ailes brûlent aussi" du 21 au 23 avril à la Comédie de Saint-Étienne, est consacré à la révolution tunisienne et aux désillusions qui ont suivi. La France produit trop d'électricité : aubaine ou déveine pour les consommateurs ?Trois ans après la crise énergétique liée au début de la guerre en Ukraine, la France produit beaucoup d'électricité. Et selon le bilan prévisionnel du Réseau de transport d'électricité (RTE) pour la période 2025-2035, l'Hexagone en produit même trop ! Les températures douces pour cette période de l'année n'expliquent cette situation qu'en partie. Après deux années où la moitié des réacteurs étaient à l'arrêt pour des problèmes de corrosion, le parc nucléaire français a retrouvé sa production normale alors que les Français consomment moins qu'auparavant. Cette surproduction n'est pas une bonne nouvelle puisqu'elle ne peut être ni stockée ni vendue à nos voisins, qui n'en ont pas besoin. Par ailleurs, les tarifs de l'électricité devraient continuer à augmenter malgré cette surabondance. Enfin, Xavier Mauduit nous conte l'histoire de la ville de Miami maintenant démocrate depuis que Eileen Higgins a été élue maire de la ville, une première pour le parti depuis 28 ans. Théophile Cossa nous explique le fonctionnement du vaccin contre la grippe alors que la France met à disposition 200 000 doses de vaccins supplémentaires. 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio.

La France accélère dans la course aux infrastructures numériques. Vendredi 28 novembre 2025, le ministère de l'Économie a dévoilé un véritable mode d'emploi pour implanter des centres de données sur le territoire. Objectif affiché : structurer, encadrer et surtout accélérer un secteur devenu stratégique. Aux côtés de Roland Lescure, la ministre déléguée au Numérique, Anne Le Hénanff, a voulu clarifier les règles du jeu. Le signal est fort : 63 sites sont déjà identifiés et plus de 109 milliards d'euros d'investissements annoncés. L'ambition est claire : faire de la France un hub européen majeur du data.Derrière chaque clic, chaque photo stockée, chaque requête d'intelligence artificielle, se cachent des hangars de serveurs fonctionnant jour et nuit. Le guide distingue désormais les petites salles informatiques, les centres de colocation géants, les infrastructures cloud ou encore les datacenters dédiés au calcul intensif pour l'IA. Si l'État s'en mêle autant, c'est pour une raison essentielle : la souveraineté. Héberger les données sensibles sur le sol national permet de se prémunir contre des lois étrangères à portée extraterritoriale, comme le Cloud Act, et de soutenir l'essor des start-up françaises de l'IA, fortement dépendantes de la puissance de calcul. Le déclic est venu du sommet parisien sur l'IA, en février. Une task force réunissant la Direction générale des Entreprises, Business France et RTE a passé le territoire au crible. Résultat : des sites repérés en Normandie, en Occitanie ou dans le Grand Est, afin de désengorger l'Île-de-France, déjà sous forte tension électrique.Car le nerf de la guerre reste l'électricité. Un datacenter moyen consomme entre 50 et 250 mégawatts, l'équivalent d'une petite ville. Le raccordement peut prendre jusqu'à neuf ans. À cela s'ajoute la connectivité, avec la nécessité d'un accès à la fibre et aux hubs de peering, comme Marseille, devenue un carrefour numérique grâce à ses câbles sous-marins. Le volet environnemental n'est pas oublié. Le texte fixe des exigences sur l'eau, le refroidissement et l'efficacité énergétique, avec un objectif de PUE à 1,20 d'ici 2030. La récupération de la chaleur devient également obligatoire pour les grandes installations. Enfin, l'argument économique reste décisif : un datacenter de 100 mégawatts crée une cinquantaine d'emplois directs et apporte des recettes fiscales significatives. Hébergé par Acast.

Ep 52: According to bettercare.ie Dyspraxia/DCD is estimated to affect 6–10% of the population in Ireland, with many cases going undiagnosed due to varied symptoms and limited awareness. In an article published on RTE.ie the Department of Education report that about 1 in 20 schoolchildren in Ireland are now diagnosed with autism, which represents a threefold increase in under a decade. Referrals for autism assessments have more than doubled in the last five years, with some services reporting up to 300% increases in requests. This surge is largely attributed to greater awareness, improved diagnostic practices, and reduced stigma.In this episode we explore an inspiring story and talk to someone who teaches practical solutions which make a real difference in people's lives, our guest, Brenda Cassidy, founder of the Braincalm Institute™.Brenda's journey began with a deeply personal mission: helping her own child overcome anxiety and sensory challenges while waiting months—or even years—for formal diagnoses and medication. Drawing on her expertise as an Occupational Therapist, Brenda developed the Braincalm™ Programme, a simple yet powerful approach that helps children and teens (and even adults) become focused, calm, and able to self-regulate their behaviour.What started as a mother's determination has grown into a movement. Since launching the original programme in 2015 and founding the Braincalm Institute in 2021, Brenda has empowered thousands of parents and trained over 5,000 school staff across Ireland and beyond. Her work is transforming classrooms and homes by giving adults the tools to support children with sensory issues and emotional regulation challenges.In this episode, we'll dive into Brenda's story of necessity, the background of Braincalm™, and how her practical strategies are changing lives every day. If you are struggling to get a diagnosis or help a child with challenges which make it difficult for them to regulate their behaviour, such as Dyspraxia, ADHD, Autism, then listen in - the Braincalm programme is helping people to feel calmer, more confident, and ready to thrive. At the end of the episode, I suggest some calming snacks and explain how they help and the store cupboard staple is nutritious and delicious hummus!ResourcesBrenda's website www.braincalminstitute.comBraincalm Programme https://www.braincalminstitute.com/programmeBrenda's Book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Funpraxia-childhood-step-step-programme-ebook/dp/B01L0MEEP8https://bettercare.ie/insights/dyspraxia-guide-diagnosis-treatment-support/https://www.rte.ie/news/upfront/2025/0414/1507654-examining-the-rise-in-adhd-and-autism-diagnoses/https://educationelephant.ie/the-rise-in-autism-adhd-diagnoses-a-crisis-or-a-breakthrough/https://www.lynsharkeynutrition.ie/2021/10/22/basil-black-pepper-hummus/Healthy Hummus recipes https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/health/healthy-food-guides/best-healthy-hummus-recipesThe Encylopaedia of Healing Foods by Dr Michael Murray, Dr Joseph Pizzorno with Lara Pizzorno MA, LMTMusic composed by cascreativearts, copyright Lyn Sharkey Nutrition.

In this episode of Florida Uncut, Mason sits down with Ryan Young, founder and Lead Explorer of Rising Tide Explorers, an ecotourism company based in Naples, FL. Back in 2016 Ryan and his group of biologist friends (including his future wife, Jeannine) realized that there were no certification, education, training, or experience requirements needed to conduct ecotours in the entire state of Florida. This left eager travelers with no way of knowing if the guide they were following into the wilderness had any training, safety certifications, or real knowledge of this unique and complex ecosystem. Having dedicated their lives to exploring the outdoors and studying the ecology of the area, the group decided to leverage their unique backgrounds, connection to the local science community, and passion for science to raise the bar of the ecotourism industry in Southwest Florida. In 2019, Friends of Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve partnered with Rising Tide Explorers to continue providing memorable and educational adventures in Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. Proceeds support education, research and conservation.In this chat we dig into the magic of where they guide tours in Rookery Bay, the importance of science-led tourism, and how RTE's partnership with Friends of Rookery Bay helps fund real conservation research. It's a conversation about curiosity, stewardship, and why getting people on the water might be one of the most powerful ways to protect the places we love.In addition to founding RTE, and now owning Naples Outfitters, Ryan also served as the trekker guide for the 2024 Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation expedition and is the narration voice of the upcoming documentary Patchwork Wild, which will be screened at Rookery Bay Learning Center on December 2nd. Registration is limited!Register for the December 2nd screening here.Learn more about Ryan and team:Go on a Rising Tide adventure here: https://risingtidefl.comLearn more about Naples Outfitters: https://naplesoutfitters.com

RTE's Southern Editor Paschal Sheehy on the death of woman in Cork following a stabbing last night.

“We know what we want, and one day, our prince will come,” says Toby, the bicycle-shorts-wearing, double ententre-making, unacknowledgely-gay neighbor in RTE's Upwardly Mobile. Though the first queer characters in Irish entertainment television were tropes and stereotypes, they represented an important shift in LGBTQ visibility in Irish media. The road to early representations in entertainment media was a hard road paved by gay rights activists, AIDS stigma, and production teams looking for sensationalism. In LGBTQ Visibility, Media, and Sexuality in Ireland, Páraic Kerrigan explores the dynamics of queer visibility and sexuality in Ireland through televised media between 1974 and 2008. Tune in for our chat about Gay Byrne and the Late Late Show, queer soap stars, the AIDS crisis and globalization of Ireland, and the LGBTQ rights tug-of-war that played out in turn-of-the-century television.

So, who's really making all the money at RTÉ? Traditionally, it's been the on-air talent leading the earnings table. This year, however, there's been a shake-up: the executives/suits are now outpacing the stars on the payscale. But with Newstalk snapping up big-name presenters, could RTÉ's pay cuts signal the start of a slide? And as fresh revelations emerge about unorthodox payments, is another storm brewing over the national broadcaster's headquarters? ­ This podcast has been amended on 31 October 2025 to remove the incorrect statement that the 725m three-year Government funding plan for RTE is in addition to TV license fee revenueSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 31ú lá de mí Dheireadh Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1986 tháinig sé amach go raibh Samantha Nolan ar ais lena chlann I mBaile Átha Cliath tar éis obráid a shábháil a shaol. I 2003 tháinig sé amach go raibh RTÉ chun thaispeáin a lán sacar príomhroinn tar éis a rinne siad margadh chun thaispeáin cluichí gach Sathairn do trí shraith. I 1970 bhí méadú den cháin bhóthair sa bhuiséid nua. Bhí an méadú ann do fheithicil príobháideach, cáin ar só agus cáin do chomhlachtaí. Sin na rudaí a tháinig an aire airgeadas amach leis sa Dáil.
