Libyen: Das Comeback des Saif Al Islam Gaddafi - Hoffnung oder Gefahr? | Doku HD Reupload | ARTE
Feb 4, 2026 | Saif al-Gaddafi, der zweite Sohn des libyschen Diktators Muammar al-Gaddafi: Einst als Hoffnungsträger gefeiert, der zwischen London, Wien und Tripolis pendelte, endete sein Leben als einer der meistgesuchten Männer der Welt. Der Internationale Strafgerichtshof warf ihm Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit vor – doch bevor er zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden konnte, wurde er am 3. Februar 2026 von einem Kommando getötet.
Die Bewerbung für die Präsidentschaftswahlen von Saif al-Islam al-Gaddafi stellte für Libyen eine große Herausforderung dar. Der zweite Sohn des libyschen Diktators Muammar al-Gaddafi wurde in Libyen mehrfach verurteilt und wird vom Internationalen Strafgerichtshof wegen Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit verfolgt.
Saif al-Islam al-Gaddafi hat einen einzigartigen Werdegang: In seinem ersten Leben wächst er in einem Clan auf, der zahlreiche Verschwörungen wittert. Er führt in Europa ein Playboy-Dasein und stellt sich der Welt als Reformer dar.
Im zweiten Leben, das mit der libyschen Revolution 2011 beginnt, steht er für die Unterdrückung, die vom Regime seines Vaters ausgeht. Er wird von Anti-Gaddafi-Milizen gefangen genommen. Ihm wird der Prozess gemacht, an dem er nur per Videoschalte teilnehmen darf. Sein Schicksal treibt das libysche Volk um, allerlei Gerüchte kursieren, sein Leben ist bedroht.
Es heißt, er sei ein verrückter, kranker Mystiker, der sich in die Wüste abgesetzt habe. Was bringt ihn dazu, sich trotz Morddrohungen um das Präsidentenamt zu bewerben? Was weiß er über die geheimen Machenschaften des Regimes seines Vaters? Welche Chancen hat er, an die Macht zu kommen?
Sein bewegtes Leben spiegelt das damalige Chaos in Libyen wider: Das Landwar gespalten, esgab eine Regierung im Osten und eine im Westen, rivalisierende Milizen rangen um die Macht, ausländische Staaten nahmen Einfluss auf den Konflikt. ...

Der Sohn des früheren libyschen Diktators Muammar Gaddafi ist tot. Saif al-Islam Gaddafi wurde nach Angaben seines Anwalts unter unklaren Umständen am Dienstag getötet. Das berichtete etwa die libysche Nachrichtenportal Libya Today.
Vier maskierte Männer seien in das Anwesen von Saif al-Islam Gaddafi in der nordwestlibyschen Stadt Sintan eingedrungen und hätten den 53-Jährigen erschossen, wie sein politischer Berater Abdullah Othman Abdurrahim mitteilte. Die Angreifer hätten zuvor die Überwachungskameras deaktiviert, erklärte Abdurrahim in einer Stellungnahme in sozialen Medien. Er bezeichnete die Tat als „verräterisch und feige“. In einer abweichenden Darstellung der Ereignisse erklärte seine Schwester im libyschen Fernsehen, Gaddafi sei nahe der Grenze des Landes zu Algerien gestorben, wie BBC berichtete. » | Sophie Barkey | Mittwoch, 4.

The Vichy Regime and the Rise of Nazi Anti-Jewish Laws | SLICE | Full Documentary
Apr 9, 2025 | By June 1940, Nazi Germany had already attacked Norway and Denmark, invaded Belgium and the Netherlands, crossed the Maginot Line and occupied Paris. France was cut in two: north of the demarcation line was the German-occupied zone, to the south was a zone headed by Marshal Pétain, whose seat of government was in the central spa town of Vichy. The Vichy regime very quickly – as early as October 1940 and without pressure from the Germans – passed the first Jewish laws. With the first of these, prefects in the southern zone had the right to lock up foreign Jews and Jewish refugees in camps, to which the Nazi regime deported Jews from the Rhineland and Westphalia. The German minister of foreign affairs had at first planned to deport German Jews to Madagascar, and Heydrich had instructed Eichmann to draw up a plan, but this was rapidly abandoned.
After the French capitulation, Nazi propaganda in which Jews were likened to rats was shown in all cinemas across the continent, from Poland to the English Channel, from Norway to Italy. Winston Churchill’s Britain was still holding out. For the Third Reich, the territories to be conquered lay to the east, in the USSR, which had been its ally since the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact of 1939. According to the German plans, Moscow would fall in a matter of weeks and the Jews would then be deported to Siberia. For Hitler, it was an ideological war. On 21 June 1941, the German armies entered Soviet soil, through the Baltic states and into Ukraine. A series of pogroms followed, like in Kaunas in July 1941. And the Einsatzgruppen, who in 1939 had eliminated the Polish elite, were sent in to hunt down Jews and Communists in the wake of the Wehrmacht, which was advancing at lightning speed. The conquered lands fell under the Nazi jackboot right along the front, and Jewish men aged between 16 and 40 were shot. They had the backing of the army, the military and civilian administrations in the occupied zones. From August 1941, Jewish women and children were also targeted by the Einsatzgruppen and its local collaborators. On 29 and 30 September 1941, they methodically shot 33,000 Jewish men, women and children in the Babi Yar ravine near Kiev.

Documents Suggest Mandelson May Have Expected Help from Epstein in Finding ‘Lucrative' Work
Feb 4, 2026 | “The evidence suggests that Mandelson's motivation was shaped by a belief that he'd be helped by Epstein to find lucrative employment afterwards.”
Documents from the Epstein files suggest that Peter Mandelson may have believed his actions in government might be rewarded with help securing lucrative post-government employment, says tax expert Dan Neidle.

Epstein Files Show How Powerful Men Protect Each Other | Helen Rumbelow
Feb 4, 2026 | “This is actually a deeper and darker and more profound revelation of how very powerful men use their networks with each other, which are drenched in misogyny, to hold on and help each other stay in control.”
After sifting through millions of newly released Epstein files, Times columnist Helen Rumbelow argues the story is being misframed as the downfall of a few high-profile men, rather than a deeper exposure of how power operates behind closed doors, as the documents reveal a network of powerful men bound by misogyny, mutual protection, and the routine dehumanisation of women.

Cigarette électronique : quels sont vraiment les risques du vapotage ?
LE FIGARO : DÉCRYPTAGE - L’Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire (Anses) fait le point, dans un rapport publié ce mercredi, sur les risques liés à l’inhalation des substances contenues dans les e-liquides ou se formant lors du vapotage.
Quinze ans après leur arrivée sur le marché, les cigarettes électroniques sont entrées dans les habitudes : plus de 6% des adultes – soit environ 3 millions de personnes - vapotent quotidiennement en France. Quelles sont les conséquences sur leur santé ? Si un recul de quinze ans est insuffisant pour obtenir des certitudes, l’Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire (Anses) fait le point, dans un rapport publié mercredi, sur les risques liés à l’inhalation des substances contenues dans les e-liquides ou se formant lors du vapotage.
Selon cette expertise, la cigarette électronique doit être envisagée « uniquement comme solution transitoire pour arrêter le tabac » et les non-fumeurs, en particulier les jeunes, ne doivent pas être incités à en consommer. En effet, la e-cigarette ne peut pas être considérée comme un produit anodin. Elle est toutefois bien moins dangereuse que le tabac dont les effets sur la santé « sont à la fois graves, avérés et très documentés », note Benoît Labarbe, chef de l’unité d’évaluation des produits du tabac à l’Anses. Le vapotage reste donc un outil qui garde toute sa place dans le sevrage. » | Par Delphine Chayet | mercredit 4 février 2026

Elon Musk Calls Spanish PM a ‘Tyrant’ over Plan to Ban Under-16s from Social Media and Curb Hateful Content
THE GUARDIAN: Pedro Sánchez says urgent action needed to protect children from ‘digital wild west’, drawing anger from owner of X
Spain has proposed a ban on social media use by teenagers as attitudes hardened in Europe against the technology, drawing personal insults against the prime minister from Elon Musk.
The government is preparing a series of measures including a social media ban for under-16s, the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, said, promising to protect children from the “digital wild west” and hold tech companies responsible for hateful and harmful content.
Sánchez said on Tuesday that urgent action was needed because social media was a “failed state where laws are ignored and crimes are tolerated”.
He also took Musk to task for using X to “amplify disinformation” over his administration’s decision last week to regularise 500,000 undocumented workers and asylum seekers, pointing out that Musk was himself a migrant.
Musk wrote on X in response: “Dirty Sánchez is a tyrant and a traitor to the people of Spain.” About an hour and a half later, he escalated his criticism, posting on X: “Sánchez is the true fascist totalitarian.” » | Staff and agencies | Wednesday, February 4, 2026

Norway's Crown Princess Mette Marit in Epstein Files as Rape Trial against Her Son Begins | DW News
Feb 3, 2026 | A rape trial is rocking the royal family in Norway and raising questions over the future of the monarchy in the Scandinavian country.
The accused is 29-year-old Marius Borg Høiby. He's the son of Norway's Crown Princess – but outside the line of succession as he was born before his mother married into the royal family. Today in Oslo, he pleaded not guilty to the most serious of 38 counts against him – including four counts of rape. The charges also include abuse, acts of violence, transporting marijuana, and making death threats. Høiby was arrested again on Sunday on suspicion of assault, making threats with a knife and violating a restraining order.
The trial gets underway just days after revelations that Høiby's mother, Crown Princess Mette Marit had extensive contact with the late U-S sex offender Jeffrey Epstein – after he was convicted of child sex crimes in 2008.
The latest release of the Epstein files contains hundreds of references to the crown princess – including personal emails between the two appearing to show a close personal friendship. Over the weekend, Crown Princess Mette-Marit issued an apology, saying she showed "poor judgement".

Hotel Eden - The Story of a German Nazi Hotel in Argentina | Documentary, 1995
Jan 19, 2017 | In La Falda, a small town in central Argentina, you can see the ruin of a luxurious hotel, but nobody would assume that this hotel played the role in German history it did. The hotel founded in 1899 helped the region to prosper and later Hitler to come to power. In the twenties, the famous and rich like the poet Berta Singer, the dancer Isadora Duncan, and the scientist.
Albert Einstein stayed here, while the owners visited Europe and met Adolf Hitler. From 1929, the hotel supported the NSDAP and even after it was closed down in 1945, it was used as a hiding place for persecuted fascists.
Nowadays, within the community of La Falda, people are arguing what to do with the ruins. Some want to demolish it while others want to host a museum and a cultural centre in it.
The filmmaker Cuini Amelio Ortiz, born in La Falda and now living in Germany, tells the story of the hotel in a fictional and documentarian style, moving somewhere between legend and reality; showing that German history left its traces in South America and how the fate of the inhabitants of La Falda is knitted together to Hitler’s Germany.

Why the US Is Almost Always At War | DW Documentary
Nov 21, 2025 | Throughout its 250-year existence, the United States has almost always been at war. From its beginnings right through to the present day, the country's armed forces have shaped both American identity and the political decisions of its leaders.
The United States of America has been at war throughout most of its 250-year existence. From the War of Independence right through to contemporary armed conflicts, the nation's armed forces have not only shaped American identity but also influenced the political decisions of its leaders. The documentary takes a deep dive into this complex history and analyzes the "hot" and "cold" wars that have shaped US history in order to draw important lessons for the future.
The film explores how successive generations of US Americans viewed and experienced each conflict. It also examines the enduring impact of these wars on American society and reveals how military engagement was utilized to hone the image and the role of the US on the global stage. Around 30 high-profile experts, military personnel and politicians examine the military history of the United States, explaining its successes and failures, as well as its impact on the world and the everyday lives of Americans.
The film looks to the past to gain a keener understanding of how today's military decisions will affect tomorrow's world — as well as their far-reaching impact on democracy and society. And with US President Donald Trump now in office for a second term, it asks what role the army plays in Trump's world view.

Au moins 30 morts, habitations détruites, militaires déployés... Les images des chutes de neige massives au Japon
LE FIGARO : VIDÉO - Des chutes de neige d’une abondance exceptionnelle ont causé la mort de 30 personnes au Japon depuis le 20 janvier, ont annoncé les autorités ce mardi 3 février.
Jusqu’à 4,5 mètres de neige se sont accumulés au sol dans des zones isolées du département d’Aomori au Japon. Le nord-est de l’archipel a été frappé par des chutes de neige colossales depuis le 20 janvier. Les intempéries ont provoqué la mort d’au moins 30 personnes, ont rapporté les autorités mardi 3 février. La première ministre Sanae Takaichi a tenu ce mardi une réunion extraordinaire du gouvernement pour demander aux ministres de tout mettre en œuvre pour protéger les vies humaines.

Trump, in an Escalation, Calls for Republicans to ‘Nationalize’ Elections
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The comments, made on a conservative podcast, follow a string of moves from his administration to try to exert more control over American elections.
President Trump called in a new interview for the Republican Party to “nationalize” voting in the United States, an aggressive rhetorical step that was likely to raise new worries about his administration’s efforts to involve itself in election matters.
During an extended monologue about immigration on a podcast released on Monday by Dan Bongino, his former deputy F.B.I. director, Mr. Trump called for Republican officials to “take over” voting procedures in 15 states, though he did not name them.
“The Republicans should say, ‘We want to take over,’” he said. “We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many — 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”
Under the Constitution, American elections are governed primarily by state law, leading to a decentralized process in which voting is administered by county and municipal officials in thousands of precincts across the country. Mr. Trump, however, has long been fixated on the false claims that U.S. elections are rife with fraud and that Democrats are perpetrating a vast conspiracy to have undocumented immigrants vote and lift the party’s turnout.
Mr. Trump’s remarkable call for a political party to seize the mechanisms of voting follows a string of moves from his administration to try to exert more control over American elections, as he and his allies continue to make false claims about his 2020 defeat. » | Reid J.

El Pastificio de Nicola: Chicken Piccata – Italian Lemon Chicken with Capers — Piccata di pollo

Thin chicken cutlets are lightly browned in butter and olive oil, then finished with a simple sauce made from white wine, lemon juice, and capers. A classic and elegant dish from Italian cuisine.
In Italy, piccata is traditionally served as a second course, after pasta, but outside Italy it also works perfectly as a main dish.

Iran: Nicht mehr schweigen | ARTE Reportage
Feb 2, 2026 | Seit Ende 2025 erheben sich die Iraner wieder gegen die Herrschaft der Mullahs, mit einer ungeheuren Wut, im Teheraner Basar, auf den Straßen, in den Universitäten. Nach tagelangen Massenprotesten reagieren die Machthaber mit Massenverhaftungen, Verschwindenlassen, Schnellgerichten: Die Iranerinnen und Iraner sollen schweigen.
Die Behörden verhängten die längste Internetsperre der Geschichte. Filmaufnahmen aus dem Iran sind unmöglich. Kein westliches Filmteam darf einreisen. Sie schließen die Grenzen, der Iran verschwindet von den Bildschirmen. Doch im Verborgenen gehen Iranerinnen und Iraner jedes Risiko ein, um Zeugnis abzulegen. Versteckte Telefone, heimliche Verbindungen, verschlüsselte Nachrichten: Trotz der Überwachung und der ständigen Bedrohung beschließen sie, selbst zu erzählen, was sie erleben.
Diese Reportage entstand aus ihren Stimmen. Stimmen ohne Vermittler, ohne Kommentar von außen. Studenten, Mütter, Arbeiter, Künstler, anonyme Aktivisten: Sie sprechen in der ersten Person. Sie berichten von den Demonstrationen, von der Angst vor nächtlichen Razzien, vom Gefängnis, von der Folter. Sie erzählen auch von der großen Hoffnung, die sie auf die Straße trieb, von der Solidarität, dem flüchtigen Gefühl einer möglichen Wende.
Doch je mehr Tage vergehen, desto mehr Zweifel und Enttäuschungen kommen auf. Die Repression erstickt sie, die Isolation ist deprimierend, die Zukunft verschwimmt wieder einmal. Was bleibt, wenn die Straße leer ist, wenn die Netzwerke unterbrochen sind, wenn die Welt wegzuschauen scheint? Die Zeugenaussagen zeigen ein Volk, das trotz aller Angst weiterspricht, das Licht bringen will ins Dunkel.

Epstein Files: Starmer Calls for Lord Mandelson to Be Stripped of Title
Feb 2, 2026 | He was nicknamed the “Prince of Darkness” for his reputation as a ruthless, behind-the-scenes fixer for New Labour. Now, Lord Mandelson has resigned from the party to save it "further embarrassment" after new revelations in the Epstein files.
This afternoon the government said it would support legislation to strip him of his peerage. Some MPs are also calling for police to investigate, after emails suggested he passed sensitive state information to the disgraced financier.

The Anglican Church has misread the zeitgeist yet again!
The Anglican Church is dying: it no longer inspires people to attend services. Churches across the country are therefore largely empty on Sunday mornings and evenings. Pews are sparsely filled.
By contrast, mosques across the country are often full to bursting. The population of Muslims in the country is much smaller, yet mosques are fuller, and often with relatively young men, too.
I believe that there is a good reason for this; and it is simple to understand. Islam is a muscular, masculine religion which appeals to virile young men. Modern Christianity, by contrast, no longer appeals to such young men because the religion has been feminized.
The feminization of the Church and its message has been underscored by the appointment, for the very first time, of a lady Archbishop of Canterbury. Whilst I wish the lady well, I doubt that her appointment will achieve the goal of filling the pews. At this time in the history of the Church, and of all times, the Church was crying out for a strong, male leader to inspire young men to attend services. In my opinion, the cues and the zeitgeist have been totally misread. — © Mark Alexander

Mandelson Should No Longer Be a Peer, Says Starmer
THE GUARDIAN: Emails from 2009 appear to show the then business secretary shared confidential UK tax plans with Jeffrey Epstein
Keir Starmer has demanded Peter Mandelson resign from the House of Lords and urged the upper chamber to modernise its disciplinary procedures to allow peers to be stripped of their titles.
The cabinet secretary, the UK’s most senior civil servant, will also investigate Mandelson’s actions as business secretary when Labour was last in power, after emails to Jeffrey Epstein about highly sensitive government policy emerged.
The documents released on Friday by the US Department of Justice also appear to show Mandelson, as business secretary in 2009, forwarded a confidential UK government document outlining £20bn in asset sales and outlining Labour’s tax policy plans. He also told the disgraced financier that he was “trying hard” to change government policy on bankers’ bonuses at his request.
Downing Street said Mandelson should testify before the US Congress inquiry into the Epstein files if he was called, after a further huge tranche of documents was released over the weekend. » | Jessica Elgot, Pippa Crerar and Emine Sinmaz | Monday, February 2, 2026

THE GUARDIAN: Marius Borg Høiby arrested on suspicion of assault and threats with knife as mother faces questions over Epstein
The son of Norway’s crown princess, Marius Borg Høiby, has been arrested on new charges just days before the start of his rape trial, as his mother continues to face questions over her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
The Oslo police district said Høiby had been arrested on Sunday evening on suspicion of assault, making threats with a knife and violating a restraining order.
The arrest came days before Høiby, 29, stands trial on charges of 38 offences including four counts of rape, the domestic abuse of a former partner and the illegal filming of a number of women without their knowledge or consent.
The trial is expected to start in Oslo on Tuesday and take place over seven weeks. Høiby has denied the most serious charges, including those of sexual abuse. » | Miranda Bryant, Nordic correspondent | Monday, February 2, 2026
