Excellencies, delegates, friends,In fourteen days, we will convene in Dubai to seek practical solutions to the climate change challenge and deliver an ambitious response to the first Global Stocktake.In an increasingly turbulent world, we have a unique opportunity to strengthen global solidarity and inspire the hope, optimism, and ingenuity required to transform our economies, safeguard our future, and keep 1.5°c within reach.

We must protect nature, lives, and livelihoods and ensure sustainable, fair, socioeconomic development for all. We must do this for our families,our friends, and for all future generations.So, ahead of COP28, I ask only this: be positive and be prepared.Be prepared to contribute. Be prepared to collaborate. Be prepared to deliver. Be prepared for the moment when our ambitions become actions and our promises become progress.The UAE's Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, taught us that good work is hard, and hard work is good; and I am confident that your hard work to-date provides the best possible foundation for meaningful progress at COP28. I remain committed to ensuring that you will have the space and support required to deliver a historic, meaningful, high-ambition outcome.The stage is set, and the world is waiting.We must not disappoint.We must unite. We must act. And we must deliver.Yours faithfully,Dr. Sultan Al JaberPresident Designate, COP28 UAEThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/6022096/advertisement

Unique and empowered. This is what it feels to be an Emirati woman. It is a blend of embracing one's roots and cultural identity, while evolving every day in a dynamic and diverse country, to contribute to the development of the nation. For that reason, every year on August 28, Emirati women come together to appreciate their efforts, celebrate their work and highlight their achievements.   The Emirati Women's Day was launched in 2015 by Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, wife of the late founding father Sheikh Zayed, and known as the Mother of the Nation. It was to bring recognition to the crucial role of women in the country. On this special episode celebrating Emirati women, Shireena Al Nowais sat down with five of the most powerful and successful sisters in the UAE: Al Kaabi sisters and Al Jaber sisters.

Tajani è andato in Egitto per le questioni energetiche? Difficile da credere se è vero che il piano energetico è già definito da tempo. È andato davvero, come ha ripetuto ieri per tutta la giornata, per “stabilizzare la Libia”? Bah. Una cosa è certa. Con un tempismo perfetto ieri il Gruppo San Donato (uno dei più importanti gruppi di sanità privata, con l'ex ministro Angelino Alfano alla presidenza) ieri ha annunciato ha firmato con il il ministero della Salute e della Popolazione egiziano e con Gksd Investment Holding un importante (e fruttuoso) memorandum per la gestione di ospedali in Egitto, il primo dei quali sarà lo Sheikh Zayed, uno dei principali istituti sanitari a Il Cairo. #LaSveglia per La Notizia

President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed died on May 13, 2022, at the age of 73. He was born in September 1948, before the UAE existed as a single nation and before the discovery of oil in the Emirates. In his lifetime he saw the rise of the nation from a collection of Bedouin and fishing villages to one of the leading and most competitive economies in the Middle East. As the eldest son of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the Founding Father of the UAE, Sheikh Khalifa's involvement in public life began at a very young age. On this week's Beyond the Headlines host Faisal Salah looks back at the life of Sheikh Khalifa and hears from UAE cultural historian and columnist for The National Peter Hellyer about his legacy.

Née en Égypte, vivant désormais au Canada, Iman Mersal était jusqu'ici reconnue comme l'une des figures du renouveau poétique égyptien (poèmes réunis dans Des choses m'ont échappé, magnifiquement traduits en français par Richard Jacquemond et publiés chez Actes Sud/Sindbad). La voici désormais romancière, couronnée par le prix littéraire Sheikh Zayed, le plus prestigieux du monde arabe pour la première fois décerné à une femme. Iman Mersal est donc partie Sur les traces d'Enayat Zayyat, jeune écrivaine égyptienne qui s'est suicidée en 1963, à l'âge de 26 ans. Autrice d'un seul livre, qu'elle avait cherché en vain à publier et qui n'est paru qu'à titre posthume quatre ans après sa mort, son nom a été rayé de l'histoire de la littérature égyptienne des années 1960, période pourtant féconde qui vit s'affirmer les tenants du nouveau roman arabe dans le sillage du grand Naguib Mahfouz. C'est par hasard qu'Iman Mersal a découvert dans les rayons d'un bouquiniste L'Amour et le silence, le livre d'Enayat Zayyat, qui l'a conduit à s'embarquer dans une entreprise singulière, bien plus qu'une enquête littéraire passionnante et une plongée dans l'archive, bien plus qu'un essai féministe ou qu'une tentative de réhabilitation biographique à l'aune des enjeux politiques et sociétaux de l'Égypte nassérienne. Rarement une quête documentaire n'aura été aussi bien transformée en un immense objet littéraire. Avec Trésor national, Sedef Ecer fait le portrait d'une Turquie marquée par quatre coups d'État, à travers celui d'une actrice de cinéma, Esra Zaman, trésor d'un cinéma turc qui a connu son apogée dans les années 1960-70. Cette histoire nous est racontée par Hülya, la fille d'Esra, qui se fait désormais appeler Julya depuis qu'elle a coupé tout lien avec sa mère et quitté son pays natal pour s'installer à Paris. Le putsch raté de juillet 2016 l'oblige à se souvenir d'une enfance passée sur les plateaux, de la diva flamboyante qu'était sa mère, de la disparition non élucidée de son père, de cette Turquie laïque qui n'est plus. Malgré les tourments de l'histoire, sa mère n'a pas changé : elle continue à vivre dans l'illusion du cinéma, pour ses rôles et sa gloire. Elle prépare le dernier spectacle de sa vie, son enterrement somptueux au Théâtre de la ville d'Istanbul, et s'est mise en tête que sa fille en écrive le discours. Hülya hésite puis se décide : elle écrira l'histoire de cette mère qui l'a si peu été, cette femme à la fois soleil et démon. Deux pays auscultés par des procédés littéraires différents – fiction et non-fiction –, deux âges d'or à la fois réels et fantasmés qu'Iman Mersal et Sedef Ecer mettent au jour avec un grand art du récit. ___ À lire Sedef Ecer, Trésor national, JC Lattès, 2021. Iman Mersal, Sur les traces d'Enyat Zayyat, traduit de l'arabe (Égypte) par Richard Jacquemond, Actes Sud, 2021. ___ Une rencontre avec Sedef Ecer et Iman Mersal animée par Élodie Karaki et enregistr ée en public le 17 juillet 2021 dans les jardins de l'IMéRA à Marseille, lors de la 5e édition du festival Oh les beaux jours !.  ___ Un podcast produit par Des livres comme des idées.

As the Arab Spring rippled across the Middle East, many looked to the relative calm of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates for a roadmap to stability. But how much of a moderniser is Mohammed bin Zayed, crown prince of Abu Dhabi and president of the UAE? Matthew Hedges was arrested, interrogated and sentenced to life imprisonment whilst studying for his PhD in the UAE. He tells Arthur Snell about his harrowing experience, and new book, Reinvented the Sheikhdom, on MBZ's authoritarian regime and security strategy. “Sheikh Zayed lived in a world rife in internal conflict. He made the UAE's tribes work together, at the expense of their autonomy.”  “MBZ has an illiberal, undemocratic, and socially conservative worldview that puts the state first and foremost.”  “MBZ and MBS are more similar than they are dissimilar.”  “Your SIM card is linked to your ID, and they have the money to watch you at all times. These are tools of social control.” “The UAE wants to be seen as forward-looking, not a Bedouin tribe stuck in the past.” https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Arthur Snell.

Dass Jürgen Habermas den Sheikh Zayed Book Award nicht annehmen will, kann der Islamwissenschaftler Stefan Weidner nachvollziehen: Der Preis diene Abu Dhabi zur Imagepflege.

Today we are joined by Natalie Koch, Associate Professor of Geography at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University, and editor of Critical Geographies of Sport: Space, Power, and Sport in Global Perspective (Routledge, 2017).  In our conversation, we discuss the growing field of critical sports geography, the role of sports in authoritarian regimes, and the neo-liberalization of sports. In Critical geographies, Koch joins other scholars to address a wide range of sports issues, including the demolition of South Korea’s Dongdaemun baseball stadium, professional wrestling in the territorial era in the United States, and the identity politics of the Gaelic Athletic Association.  An emphasis on space and the ways that space embodies power and power relations, underpins the volume’s diverse offerings and draws them into fruitful conversation with each other. The collected essays fall into two categories: the first half of the book examines sports, geopolitics, and the state.  Here Koch offers her own fascinating analysis of authoritarian leaders – including Mao Zedong, Vladimir Putin, and Sheikh Zayed – and their use of sports to promote the legitimacy of their regime and their own cult of personality.  Koch is especially careful to differentiate between the distinct masculine discourses at work in China, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates and the way those discourses made use of the divergent topographies of their countries: tundra, desert and massive river delta. The second half of the book deals with sports, community, and urban space.  Here authors address the opportunities and limitations offered by sports as a tool of social assimilation and integration; the role stadium projects play in the neo-liberalization of public spaces; and the problematic politics of megaevents. In a coda, Koch and David Jansson provoke further questions by gesturing towards the role social justice can play in critical sports geography. Each one of these essays in this volume offers enticing insights into the ways that power and space intersect in the sports sphere.  Geographers interested in the field of critical sports geography should read this book but scholars generally interested in questions of sports, power, and space are also encouraged to check out this compelling work. Keith Rathbone is a lecturer at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.  He researches twentieth-century French social and cultural history. His manuscript, entitled A Nation in Play: Physical Culture, the State, and Society during France’s Dark Years, 1932-1948, examines physical education and sports in order to better understand civic life under the dual authoritarian systems of the German Occupation and the Vichy Regime.  If you have a title to suggest for this podcast, please contact him at keith.rathbone@mq.edu.au Learn more about your ad choices.

A modo de recordatorio, Elon Musk volvió a mencionar en Twitter que todas las patentes de Tesla son públicas, y cualquiera puede usarlas de buena fe.
