Les Bleus ont décroché leur ticket d'or pour cette nouvelle étape du Mondial-2026 de football après une victoire sans appel : 2 à 0 face au Maroc. Et les performances offensives de l'équipe de France n'échappent pas à la presse internationale : « C'est un test réussi » pour le Guardian, quatre ans après une affiche similaire en demi-finale de la Coupe du monde 2022 au Qatar. Mais cette fois, « la sélection tricolore s'est montrée bien supérieure », analyse le journal britannique, qui insiste sur un « fossé stylistique immense entre les deux prestations ». « On pouvait craindre que la victoire laborieuse contre le Paraguay cinq jours plus tôt n'ait freiné l'élan de l'attaque française qui affichait jusque-là un rythme de plus de trois buts par match, et si les Bleus ont bénéficié jeudi d'un arbitrage plus impartial et d'un adversaire moins provocateur qu'à Philadelphie, la défense marocaine a offert une résistance tout aussi farouche », ajoute le Guardian. « Alors que les Bleus s'apprêtent à quitter la côte Est pour la première fois depuis leur arrivée aux États-Unis pour leur demi-finale à Dallas, on sent qu'ils vont sortir de leur zone de confort, tant sur le terrain qu'en dehors », prévient cependant le quotidien britannique, avant de reconnaitre que « pour le moment, ils semblent prêts à relever tous les défis ». Le défi des attentes qui pèsent sur les Bleus « L'attente est que la France dispute toujours la finale de la Coupe du monde », explique le Boston Globe, qui rappelle qu'en 1998, alors que Didier Deschamps était capitaine, il avait déclaré que remporter la Coupe serait un bonus. Seulement, les choses ont changé depuis et, au fil des décennies, les Français ont oscillé entre le rêve et le cauchemar en Coupe du monde. « Ils ont déjà vécu ce rêve à deux reprises, en remportant à nouveau le titre en 2018. Ils ont aussi été brutalement ramenés à la réalité par le cauchemar à deux reprises, en perdant la finale contre l'Italie en 2006 et l'Argentine en 2022, les deux fois aux tirs au but », relate le quotidien américain. « Le rêve est de nouveau à portée de main, et maintenant qu'un troisième trophée est en vue, les Français n'imaginent même pas perdre », analyse le Boston Globe. Car une fois le rêve devenu réalité comme ce fut le cas en 1998 quand les Bleus sont devenus champions « pour l'éternité » - c'était le titre du journal l'Equipe à l'époque - et vingt ans plus tard, en 2018, il cesse d'être un rêve, poursuit le journal : « Tout résultat autre qu'un nouveau trophée est une déception. Les Bleus ont compris que l'éternité implique des attentes elles aussi éternelles ». Au Royaume-Uni, la dernière femme condamnée à mort a été graciée Graciée à titre posthume, car Ruth Ellis a été exécutée en 1955, il y a donc 71 ans. Elle avait été reconnue coupable du meurtre de son amant, mais la justice de l'époque n'avait pas pris en compte le fait qu'elle était victime de violences conjugales graves qui avaient plusieurs fois mis sa vie en danger. Depuis sa mort, sa famille cherchait à obtenir une grâce partielle, avançant que les violences qu'elle a subies n'avaient pas été prises en compte pendant son procès. C'est à présent chose faite, c'est ce qu'a annoncé le vice Premier ministre britannique David Lammy, mercredi 8 juillet. « Une annonce qui réconfortera sa famille, mais le système continue de laisser tomber les femmes victimes de violence comme Ruth Ellis, dénonce une tribune du Guardian. D'un point de vue contemporain, Ruth Ellis est un exemple classique de femme dont les violences familiales l'ont rendue vulnérable aux prédateurs », continue l'article. « Le fait que ces hommes aient semblé agir en toute impunité pendant tant d'années soulève des questions quant à la manière dont les jeunes filles sont encore aujourd'hui laissées pour compte par les autorités, conclut le quotidien, mais aussi par la persistance d'attitudes misogynes archaïques ».

Send us Fan MailEpisode 260Ruth Ellis didn't just make history—she became it. The last woman to be executed in Britain, her name is forever tied to a single gunshot on a London street. But that moment is only the surface.Behind it lies a life of glamour and danger: smoky nightclubs, powerful men, volatile relationships—and a past marked by instability and quiet desperation. How does someone go from chasing a better life to standing at the centre of one of Britain's most infamous cases?This short history pulls you into the story behind the headlines—where charm, control, love, and violence collide—and where the truth is far more unsettling than the myth.Support the showInsta@justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.com

In the 1950s, American glamour swept into a war-torn Britain as part of a broader transatlantic exchange of culture and commodities. But in this process, the American ideal of the blonde became uniquely British—Marilyn Monroe transformed into Diana Dors. British Blonde: Women, Desire and the Image in Post-War Britain (Yale UP, 2025) by Professor Lynda Nead examines postwar Britain through the changing ideals of femininity that reflected the nation's evolving concerns in the twenty-five years following the Second World War. At its heart are four iconic women whose stories serve as prompts for broader accounts of social and culture change: Diana Dors, the quintessential blonde bombshell; Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in Britain; Barbara Windsor, star of the Carry On films; and the Pop artist Pauline Boty. Together, they reveal how class, social aspiration, and desire reshaped the cultural atmosphere of the 1950s and 1960s, complicating gender roles and visual culture in the process. Richly illustrated with paintings, photography, film stills, and advertisements, this interdisciplinary and engagingly written study offers a highly original perspective on an era that transformed Britain's visual and cultural identity. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

MIn 4: Activamos nuestro Filtro Rachel haciendo flashback a la 77ª ceremonia de los Primetime Emmy Awards que se celebraba en Los Ángeles. Varias series que han sido referencia en el último año en nuestro programa se alzaron como grandes protagonistas. "The Pitt" (HBO Max) fue la gran sorpresa al imponerse como Mejor Serie Dramática, mientras The Studio (Apple Tv) se consagró en la categoría de comedia, batiendo récords con 13 estatuillas, incluyendo Mejor Comedia. En la categoría de miniseries o serie limitada, "Adolescence" fue la vencedora, llevándose múltiples premios, entre ellos Mejor Serie Limitada y reconocimiento para Owen Cooper como Mejor Actor de Reparto Min 18: GEN V. TEMPORADA 2 (PRIME VIDEO) La segunda temporada de Gen V arranca en Godolkin University con un tono más oscuro y político, marcada por la ausencia de Andre tras la muerte de Chance Perdomo, que la serie integra con respeto en la trama. Con un nuevo decano decidido a convertir a los jóvenes supes en soldados y el poder de Homelander como telón de fondo, la ficción eleva la tensión y la crítica social en el universo de The Boys. Raque Hernández destaca que la serie gana en madurez y ambición, con escenas viscerales y sátira afilada, aunque arrastra cierta sensación de déjà vu y deja a personajes secundarios poco desarrollados. Aun así, Gen V confirma su papel clave como puente narrativo hacia el futuro de The Boys, ampliando la radiografía del poder, la corrupción y la identidad en este universo televisivo. CALIFICACIÓN EDCS: 4 estrellas Min 26: EL REFUGIO ATÓMICO (NETFLIX) El refugio atómico, la nueva serie de Álex Pina y Esther Martínez Lobato para Netflix, sitúa a Miren Ibarguren, Joaquín Furriel, Natalia Verbeke y Carlos Santos al frente de un reparto coral que se encierra en el búnker de lujo Kimera Underground Park ante la amenaza de guerra nuclear. Secretos familiares, tensiones de poder y un arranque con giro impactante marcan el inicio de este thriller distópico con vocación de gran drama. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 2,5 estrellas Min 33: "BLACK RABBIT" (Netflix) Black Rabbit es una miniserie de crimen y suspenso de Netflix creada por Zach Baylin y Kate Susman, que pone al frente a Jude Law (como Jake Friedken) y Jason Bateman (como Vince Friedken), hermanos cuya relación y ambiciones fracturadas desatan una tormenta de viejos traumas, deuda, crimen y poder, todo alrededor de su restaurante-lounge en Nueva York llamado Black Rabbit. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 2,5 estrellas Min 39: BSO CRUEL LOVE: LA HISTORIA DE RUTH ELLIS La banda sonora, compuesta por Samuel Sim (quien ha trabajado en The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, The Spanish Princess, entre otros), acompaña con maestría los altibajos emocionales del drama real protagonizado por Ruth Ellis. El álbum original consta de 18 pistas que suman unos 51 minutos de alta calidad musical, y se construye con piezas como “The Last Woman”, “Holloway”, “Morning of the Trial” o “Ruth Ellis”, que combinan tensión oscura, pasajes introspectivos, momentos de clímax y silencios cargados de peso psicológico.

In this final installment of our seven-part series, we follow Ruth Ellis through her last days and hours at Holloway Prison. Convicted of the murder of her lover, David Blakely, Ruth became the last woman hanged in Britain.We trace the frantic efforts made by friends, family, and even members of the public to win her a reprieve—and the powerful voices calling for her execution to go forward. We recount the haunting details of her final letters, her last walk to the gallows, and her shocking confession on the eve of her death that suggested she did not act alone.

In this episode, Ruth Ellis takes the stand in her own defense during her murder trial at the Old Bailey. What unfolds is one of the most disastrous testimonies in British legal history.Ruth answers questions with little emotion, even while recounting her tumultuous relationship with David Blakely, his violence, her miscarriage, and her decision to end their affair. Her matter-of-fact answers shock the jury, and her own attorney is stunned when she calmly admits, “I had an idea I wanted to kill him.”

On Easter weekend 1955, Ruth Ellis reached her breaking point.After years of jealousy, violence, and betrayal, she spent a long, sleepless night replaying the wreckage of her life — and blaming one man: David Blakely. By Easter Sunday, her rage would boil over into an act that would shock Britain and seal her fate as the last woman hanged in the UK.In this episode, we follow Ruth's final hours before the shooting — a day marked by obsessive phone calls, tense stakeouts, and a simmering fury that would explode in front of witnesses.

David's jealousy and violent outbursts threaten Ruth's livelihood, her home, and her relationships. By the winter of 1954, the tension between them reaches a breaking point.On Christmas Day, what should have been a festive celebration turns into a drunken, humiliating spectacle that shocks party guests and deepens Ruth's emotional entanglement.

Before Stonewall, before Pride parades, before the word “queer” was reclaimed—there was Ruth Ellis. Born in 1899, Ruth lived boldly and authentically as an out Black lesbian for over a century. Ruth Ellis was a trailblazer who ran her own printing business, built a safe haven for LGBTQ+ youth in Detroit, and became a living legend in her 90s. We also dive into how her legacy continues today through the incredible work of the Ruth Ellis Center—one of the nation's leading organizations supporting LGBTQ+ youth of color.

Laura explores the nuanced case of Ruth Ellis, the last woman hanged in Britain. In April 1955, Ruth shot her lover David Blakely outside a pub in North London. The case itself was open-and-shut, but the motivations behind it were far more complicated. Ruth paid for the crime with her life. But could things have worked out differently if the police had properly investigated the complexities of her relationship with not only David but her other lover Desmond Cussen?Murder They Wrote with Laura Whitmore and Iain Stirling is available twice a week on BBC Sounds.

In 1955 London, a glamorous model and nightclub hostess shot and killed her aristocrat lover and was sentenced to death for the crime. Her name was Ruth Ellis, and her life and crime has fascinated the British public for years, and led to the elimination of the death penalty in the UK. Ruth's story is now the subject of a four-part drama series on Britbox, starring Lucy Boynton. We speak to Boyton and showrunner Kelly Jones about "A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story."

On the 13th of July, 1955, Ruth Ellis became the last person to be executed in the United Kingdom.  Her story is a tragic one, beginning with childhood abuse and ending with the public shooting of her lover outside a London Pub possibly at the behest of another.  While she felt no remorse and didn't seek to appeal her conviction, her family is still working to clear her name to this day.

Ruth Ellis was a beautiful platinum blonde who occasionally modeled in 1950s England. The mother of two children and divorced, Ruth met a man who would change the trajectory of her life forever--David Blakely. Ruth and David began a volatile love affair, one wrought with lies and bitter jealousy, that ended with one of them dead and one getting sent to the gallows.

In 1955, Ruth Ellis shot and killed David Blakely, with whom she had a relationship. She was tried, convicted, and executed very quickly. Ruth was the last woman executed in the United Kingdom. Her case is highly controversial, and there is much debate about whether she should have been convicted of murder at all. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the case of Ruth Ellis. Her case has inspired books, plays, TV and radio dramas, and a movie, and there was an attempt to get her conviction overturned in an appeals court after her execution. Much of the controversy surrounding Ruth's case centers on the abuse she suffered at the hands of Blakely.
