Podcasts about visas

It's the most exciting time for soccer fans and sports lovers alike, as World Cup 2026 kicks off across North America. But in the shadows of fan fests and buzzing bars remains the very stark reality of strict US immigration policy that threatens the very nature of the tournament. Somali referee Omar Artan was sent back to Turkey upon his arrival in Miami earlier this month after White House officials claimed he'd been in contact with terrorists. Meanwhile, the Iranian team has been advised they can't stay in the US before or after a match, forcing their accommodations onto Mexican soil instead. Guest Host Devang Desai speaks to Founder and Host of Soccerwise, David Gass, to discuss the immigration fallout from the World Cup thus far and how geopolitical tensions may overshadow the game. You can find more of David's work, here: https://linktr.ee/firsttouchksm We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Les journalistes et experts de RFI répondent également à vos questions sur le business des visas par l'entreprise VFS Global et le scandale du chlordécone dans les Antilles françaises.  Kenya : pourquoi un centre de traitement Ebola suscite la controverse ? La tension reste vive. Malgré la décision de la Haute Cour de Justice de Nairobi justice de suspendre la construction d'un centre de quarantaine destiné à accueillir des Américains potentiellement infectés par le virus Ebola, des affrontements ont éclaté entre manifestants et forces de l'ordre à Nanyuki. Au moins une personne a été tuée. Pourquoi ce projet suscite-t-il tant de colère ? Pourquoi les manifestations se sont elles poursuivies les travaux sont suspendus ? Quel intérêt le gouvernement kényan a-t-il à vouloir mettre place ce centre ? Avec Albane Thirouard, correspondante de RFI à Nairobi.      Visas en Afrique : le business des visas est-il légal ?  Si vous avez déjà décroché un rendez-vous pour obtenir un visa, vous êtes probablement passé par l'entreprise VFS Global. Mais derrière cette plateforme devenue incontournable se cache un business extrêmement lucratif.  Une enquête coordonnée par Lighthouse Reports, avec la participation de 14 médias dont RFI, s'est penchée sur les pratiques de cette entreprise indienne aujourd'hui omniprésente en Afrique et dans le monde. Entre 2017 et 2024, ses profits opérationnels sont passés de 31 à 171 millions d'euros, alors que le nombre de demandes de visas n'a augmenté que de 15 %. Comment expliquer une telle croissance ? Pourquoi VFS Global a-t-elle le monopole dans le traitement des demandes de visas, notamment sur le continent africain ? Avec Sidy Yansané, journaliste au service Afrique de RFI.     Scandale du chlordécone : combien de temps les Antillais vont encore subir les conséquences de cet insecticide ? Le Parlement français a reconnu à l'unanimité la responsabilité de l'État dans le scandale du chlordécone aux Antilles. Entre les années 1970 et 1990, cet insecticide a été utilisé dans les bananeraies de Guadeloupe et de Martinique, alors même que l'OMS alertait déjà sur sa dangerosité sur les habitants. Sachant que plus de 90 % de la population antillaise est contaminée, combien de générations devront encore vivre avec les conséquences de cette pollution ? Avec Hervé Macarie, chargé de recherche à l'IRD (Institut de recherche pour le développement), affecté à l'unité mixte de recherche IMBE, l'Institut méditerranéen de biodiversité et d'écologie marine et continentale.)

Au sommaire : Alors que la grand-messe du football vient de débuter, c'est la politique migratoire de l'un des pays hôtes, les États-Unis, qui monopolise l'attention. Visas refusés à des membres des délégations et des supporters, un arbitre refoulé… Face aux controverses qui entourent le tournoi, la FIFA se défausse sur les autorités américaines et affirme ne pas avoir son mot à dire. Où en est la guerre en Iran ? Malgré des tentatives de cessez-le-feu, les États-Unis ont mené de nouvelles frappes contre des cibles iraniennes, tandis que Téhéran menace de riposter et évoque à nouveau la fermeture du détroit d'Ormuz, un point clé du commerce mondial du pétrole. Doit-on craindre une nouvelle escalade ? Chaque semaine, des journalistes et éditorialistes africains décryptent l'actualité africaine et internationale. Avec la participation de : Karine Oriot, éditorialiste camerounaise Hanène Zbiss, journaliste tunisienne, présidente de la section tunisienne de l'UPF (Union de la presse francophone) François Hiondi Nkam, grand reporter et chef du service Économie au quotidien camerounais Le jour.

In the 2026-27 Budget, the federal government announced changes to the Australia's permanent migration system aimed at prioritising "better-educated", "highly-skilled" and younger migrants. Of the total 185,000 permanent migration places, 70 per cent have been allocated to skilled migrants. While those awaiting parent and partner visas fear even longer wait times, experts believe the new approach could benefit onshore migrant workers. - ਫੈਡਰਲ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਹੁਨਰਮੰਦ ਕਾਮਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਘਾਟ ਪੂਰੀ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਆਪਣੀ ਸਥਾਈ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਸ ਪ੍ਰਣਾਲੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਬਦਲਾਅ ਕਰ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ, ਜਿਸ ਤਹਿਤ ਬਿਹਤਰ ਸਿੱਖਿਅਤ, ਉੱਚ-ਹੁਨਰਮੰਦ ਅਤੇ ਨੌਜਵਾਨ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਸੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਤਰਜੀਹ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ। ਬਜਟ 2026-27 ਮੁਤਾਬਕ ਸਥਾਈ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਸ ਪ੍ਰੋਗਰਾਮ 185,000 ਸਥਾਨਾਂ ਤੱਕ ਸੀਮਤ ਰਹੇਗਾ, ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ 70 ਫੀਸਦ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਧ ਸਥਾਨ ਹੁਨਰਮੰਦ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਸੀਆਂ ਲਈ ਰਾਖਵੇਂ ਹੋਣਗੇ। ਮਾਹਿਰਾਂ ਦਾ ਕਹਿਣਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਇਸ ਨਾਲ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਵਿੱਚ ਰਹਿ ਰਹੇ ਕਾਮਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਫਾਇਦਾ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਫੈਮਿਲੀ ਵੀਜ਼ਾ, ਖਾਸ ਕਰਕੇ ਪੇਰੈਂਟ ਅਤੇ ਪਾਰਟਨਰ ਨਕਾਰਾਤਮਕ ਅਸਰ ਪੈ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ। ਸੁਣੋ ਪੂਰੀ ਰਿਪੋਰਟ ਇਸ ਪੌਡਕਾਸਟ ਵਿੱਚ...

Brother Matthew was a worldly teenager when his mother decided she and her son needed to go to church. By the end of that first service, both of them had committed their lives to following Christ. As Matthew grew in faith, he was convicted and inspired by the Acts accounts of Paul's missionary travels. Studying Paul's efforts to take the gospel to the Gentiles, Matthew began to ponder who the Gentiles were in his generation, living far from the truth of Christ? As he began to ask that question in prayer, God laid on his heart the nation of Afghanistan. Matthew began taking steps towards service in that war-torn country, and repeatedly God confirmed His calling. Months later, Matthew was in Uzbekistan, serving with a church-planting effort and getting on-the-ground education in Central Asia ministry and culture. Listen as Matthew tells the stories of the people he met who experienced supernatural visions and encounters with Jesus. He'll also talk about the risks of sharing the gospel among Muslims, and the miraculous story of how God helped him get approval for an Afghan visa from the Taliban consulate! Matthew will recount what it looked like when he arrived in Kabul – just a few years after Soviet tanks withdrew – and how the Lord led him to serve in a village as God faithfully guided, one step at a time. Pray this week for our persecuted Christian brothers and sisters in Afghanistan and throughout Central Asia.
