Why Is Argentina Reigniting the Falklands Dispute? | Inside Story

Sep 5, 2026 | It's been dormant for decades... But the row between Argentina and Britain over the Falkland Islands has been revived. It started with a joint British-Israeli oil exploration project off the archipelago's north coast -- to which Buenos Aires vehemently objected.

President Javier Milei has now threatened to impose sanctions on companies operating there. His push to reclaim the islands was bolstered by Donald Trump's comment that he may reconsider Washington's position on the territory.

Britain and Argentina went to war over the islands more than four decades ago. Could the dispute escalate into another armed confrontation

Mahmoud Abbas Condemns Gaza War, Warns of Displacement and Demands Palestinian State at UNGA

Sep 24, 2026 | Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas addresses the 81st United Nations General Assembly, focusing on Gaza, the West Bank, Palestinian statehood and the future of the two-state solution.

Abbas condemns what he describes as killing, destruction, starvation and displacement in Gaza, and warns against what he calls another Nakba. He also raises concerns over settlement expansion, violence and the fragmentation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

He calls for implementation of the second phase of the Gaza roadmap, the reunification of Gaza and the West Bank under Palestinian authority, and renewed efforts toward a two-state solution. Abbas also discusses Palestinian institutional reforms, upcoming elections, recognition of the State of Palestine and his call for full UN membership.

Abbas wirft Israel „genozidalen Krieg“ vor – wie reagiert Netanjahu?

BERLINER ZEITUNG: Palästinenserpräsident Mahmoud Abbas erhebt vor der UN schwere Vorwürfe gegen Israel und warnt vor einer dauerhaften Teilung der Palästinensergebiete. Benjamin Netanjahu spricht wenig später.

Palästinenserpräsident Mahmoud Abbas hat Israel vor der UN-Generalversammlung einen „genozidalen Krieg“ vorgeworfen und eine politische Wiedervereinigung des Gazastreifens mit dem Westjordanland und Ost-Jerusalem gefordert. Die Palästinenser erlebten „eine der gefährlichsten Zeiten“ ihrer Geschichte, sagte Abbas am Donnerstag in einer vorab aufgezeichneten Videobotschaft.

Die israelischen Streitkräfte hätten in Gaza Tod, Zerstörung, Hunger und Vertreibung verursacht, sagte Abbas. Er sprach von einem „genozidalen Krieg“, der eine „beispiellose humanitäre Katastrophe“ geschaffen habe. Die Bezeichnung ist Abbas’ Bewertung. Israel weist den Vorwurf eines Völkermords zurück und erklärt, seine militärischen Operationen richteten sich gegen die Hamas.

Abbas verwies zudem auf die Lage im besetzten Westjordanland einschließlich Ost-Jerusalems. Dort beschleunigten sich nach seinen Worten der israelische Siedlungsausbau, Landnahmen, Hauszerstörungen und Angriffe von Siedlern. Israel versuche, seine Kontrolle über palästinensisches Gebiet weiter auszudehnen, sagte der 90-Jährige. » | Alexander Schmalz | Donnerstag, 24. September 2026

Charles Spencer et le prince Harry : ces liens puissants qui doivent inquiéter Buckingham

MADAME FIGARO : La proximité de Charles Spencer avec les Sussex pourrait, selon plusieurs experts royaux, considérablement fragiliser le règne de Charles III, en favorisant l’émergence d’un « contre-pouvoir ».

Ce n’est un secret pour personne (ou presque) : le prince Harry a toujours voué une admiration sans faille à Charles Spencer. Après la disparition tragique de Diana dans un terrible accident de voiture à Paris, le 31 août 1997, son oncle s’était donné une mission : protéger le duc de Sussex et son frère aîné, William, de la froideur et de l’indifférence de l’institution monarchique. Un combat commencé très tôt, avant même les funérailles de Lady Di, lorsque le frère de la princesse s’était clairement opposé à la volonté du prince Charles de faire participer ses deux fils, alors âgés de 15 et 12 ans, au cortège funèbre conduisant le cercueil de leur mère du palais de Kensington à l’abbaye de Westminster, à Londres. «Mon oncle Charles, le frère de maman, a fait un scandale : “Vous ne pouvez pas obliger ces garçons à marcher derrière le cercueil de leur mère ! C’est barbare !”», racontait Harry en janvier 2023 dans ses mémoires,Le Suppléant, parus aux éditions Fayard.

Si Charles Spencer n’avait à l’époque pas obtenu gain de cause face au protocole, l’enfant terrible de la couronne, lui, est aujourd’hui encore reconnaissant de s’être rebellé afin de lui épargner cette épreuve absolument terrible. Les photos du jeune Harry marchant derrière le cercueil de sa mère, la tête baissée, le visage fermé, totalement pétrifié, avaient bouleversé le monde entier et font incontestablement partie des moments les plus déchirants de l’histoire de la monarchie britannique. « Je ne crois pas qu’on devrait demander cela à un enfant, quelles que soient les circonstances. Cela ne se produirait plus aujourd’hui », avait confié le duc de Sussex, des années plus tard, le 21 juin 2017, dans une interview à Newsweek, évoquant un «traumatisme» indélébile, profondément ancré en lui. » | Par Solene Delinger | mardi 22 septembre 2026

Falklands: Milei Is 'Harassing' Us, Say Locals

Sep 9, 2026 | “If someone's polls start failing, if the president starts doing badly and losing popularity, we become a national bastion to try to stand behind, which is incredibly harassing.”

Argentina President Javier Milei’s constant questioning of the Falkland Islands sovereignty is “physiologically traumatising” for the people of the Island says former member of the Falklands Islands legislative assembly, Tesyln Barman.



Interesting Informamtion:

The name "Malvinas" means "people from Saint-Malo." It is a Spanish translation of a French name used to describe the origin of the sailors who first colonized the territory.

The Etymology Trail:

The name evolved through a chain of languages and historical events:

1. St. Malo (The Saint): The root of the name comes from St. Malo (also known as Maclou), a 6th-century Christian evangelist traditionally believed to have been born in Wales before founding a city in Brittany, France.

2. Saint-Malo (The Port): This French port city was named in his honour. Residents and mariners from this specific town are called Malouins.

3. Îles Malouines (The French Name): In 1764, French explorer Louis-Antoine de Bougainville founded the first human settlement on the islands. Because his crew and colonists departed from the port of Saint-Malo, he named the archipelago Îles Malouines (literally, "The Malouin Islands").

4. Islas Malvinas (The Spanish Name): When Spain later took control of the French settlement, they adapted the French phonetic sound into Spanish, turning Malouines into Malvinas.

US Judge Overturns President Trump's White House Media Ban | BBC News

A District of Columbia court issued a temporary restraining order against the ban, meaning CNN, MS NOW and Politico must have their access restored for 14 days, after ruling the move "likely violated their constitutional due process rights".

The Trump administration defended the move in court, accusing the outlets of publishing false information and threatening national security - an argument the court rejected.

Trump’s UN Speech Was Delusional and Dangerous

THE GUARDIAN: It is sad and dangerous that at such a perilous moment, the United States is saddled with a president like Trump

Screenshot taken from this Guardian op-ed. | Most would say only that Trump is leading in national embarrassment.’ Photograph: David Dee Delgado/Reuters

Donald Trump’s speech on Tuesday to the United Nations general assembly was an object lesson in his lawless rule and remarkable capacity for self-delusion. Disregarding the UN charter’s emphasis on the peaceful resolution of disputes, he doubled down on his violent unilateralism while denigrating the global issues that the UN is designed to address.

For many, the headline remark was his musing about whether to “annihilate the Islamic Republic” of Iran. “Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations?”

But it was probably less a genuine threat than a clumsy effort to influence negotiations where he has little leverage. Trump is in desperate quest of some face-saving gesture that will allow him to feign “victory” and extract himself from his disastrous war of choice.

He spoke of destroying the “Islamic Republic”, which might imply the Iranian military, a legitimate military target. But his reference to precluding future generations suggests he meant to threaten the Iranian people. Attacking them would be a blatant war crime. » | Kenneth Roth | Wednesday, September 23, 2026

MADAME FIGARO : Publié dans toutes les librairies du Royaume-Uni ce mardi 22 septembre 2026, le livre de Charles Spencer consacré à sa sœur aînée, Lady Di, fait trembler la couronne britannique. Voici les révélations les plus explosives de ces mémoires.

Peut-on encore apprendre des choses sur la princesse Diana, près de trente ans après sa disparition tragique dans un accident de voiture à Paris ? N’a-t-on pas déjà tout lu à son sujet ? Ne connaît-on pas déjà les moindres détails de son mariage malheureux avec le prince Charles ? De sa rivalité avec Camilla Parker Bowles ? De la traque des paparazzis qu’elle a subie pendant des années ? Ou encore du traumatisme profond que sa mort a inévitablement provoqué chez ses deux jeunes fils, Harry et William ?

Longtemps silencieux, son frère cadet Charles Spencer a estimé que certaines vérités méritaient d’être dévoilées. « Je veux parler en son nom et le faire de manière ouvertement positive », a-t-il déclaré dans un communiqué présentant ses mémoires, Swan Song : Diana, My Sister, publiés ce mardi 22 septembre au Royaume-Uni et dans une vingtaine d’autres pays, dont la France. Au fil des quatre cent et quelques pages de son livre, Spencer raconte pour la toute première fois ses propres souvenirs de la vie de Lady Di. Anecdotes choquantes, révélations explosives : le frère de la regrettée princesse n’épargne pas la Firme et encore moins Charles III, sa cible principale.

The White House Launches ‘Trump TV’ after Media Ban | BBC News

Sep 22, 2026 | The White House has launched an online television channel called ‘Trump TV’, hours after major television networks in the US suspended their pooled coverage in protest of CNN, Politico and MS NOW being barred from the White House.

Trump TV operates a 24/7 feed of clips of the president. Initial coverage included Trump taking part in a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Marine One helipad on the White House South Lawn, but his comments were inaudible.

The three media organisations banned from the White House filed a lawsuit on Monday in US District Court in Washington.

The Fuel That Feeds Europe’s Far Right: Nostalgia and Lost Pride

THE NEW YORK TIMES: The populist emphasis on national identity and threats to it, real and imagined, finds a deep response in voters adrift in a world they no longer understand.

Screenshot taken from this NYT article. | Attendees at a rally for the far-right Alternative for Germany party on Saturday in central Schwerin, Germany. Credit: Lisi Niesner/Reuters

The rise of a far-right party in Germany, the Alternative for Germany, represents a skewing of history, fueled by its own, sometimes imaginary vision of the past. It feeds, analysts say, on widespread alienation from a liberal, multicultural, united Germany committed to the memory of the Holocaust and Nazi crimes.

The AfD is now the most popular party nationwide, polls say, close to governing a German state for the first time, and did well again in two more state elections on Sunday. It has benefited from economic and industrial decline and a sense of insecurity, which the party blames on the extensive migration of young Muslims in the last decade.

The party came first in the small eastern German state of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania and a good third in Berlin, while the Christian Democratic Union of Chancellor Friedrich Merz did poorly, in what he himself called “a disaster.” The results will heighten talk of the party’s replacing the unpopular chancellor before the end of his term.

The AfD has thrived on a key element that ties most populist parties together, especially those of the far right: nostalgia for a society and nation lost to time, even if they exist only in gilded memory or fantasy. » | Steven Erlanger | Steven Erlanger, based in Berlin, writes about European security, diplomacy and politics. | Monday, September 21, 2026

Giovanni Syracusa: Hunter-style Chicken — Pollo alla cacciatore

Sep 12, 2026 | Chicken cacciatore is one of my favourite things to make with a whole chicken. I like to have the butcher cut it into pieces, then cook everything together in one pan with white wine, olives, garlic, rosemary and sage. It’s simple food, but exactly the kind of thing you’d expect to eat in the Italian countryside.

A lot of people are used to chicken cacciatore with tomatoes, but this version is made in bianco.

Cacciatore means “hunter-style,” and this is the kind of chicken dish hunters would have prepared before tomatoes became common in Italian cooking.

A whole chicken, a few vegetables, some herbs and wine, and you’ve got a rustic Italian family dinner on the table.

Charles Spencer, le frère très controversé de Lady Di

Cette capture d'écran provient de cet article de Madame Figaro. | Charles Spencer le 3 mars 2015, à Santa Monica, en Californie. Amanda Edwards / WireImage

MADAME FIGARO : Dans Diana, ma sœur : le chant du cygne, Charles Spencer livre un récit particulièrement sévère sur les Windsor et de l’attitude de Charles III après la mort de Lady Diana. Mais au Royaume-Uni, ces révélations ravivent aussi les critiques qui le poursuivent : relations tumultueuses, infidélités et opportunisme.

La guerre entre la Couronne britannique et Charles Spencer est lancée. Ce 22 septembre paraîtra son nouvel ouvrage, Diana, ma sœur : le chant du cygne (éd. Flammarion), consacré à celle qui fut l’épouse du roi Charles III avant de trouver la mort à Paris en 1997. Dans son livre, le frère de l’ancienne princesse revient notamment sur les jours qui ont suivi la disparition de cette dernière, et l’attitude du souverain. Selon ses dires, rapportés en exclusivité par le Daily Mail, Charles III lui aurait lancé, lors d’une dispute au téléphone : « Rassurez-vous, nous l’aurons oubliée assez vite. »

Pour Charles Spencer, la mort de Diana, levait un obstacle à la relation du futur roi avec Camilla Parker Bowles, devenue depuis reine : il lui aurait donc semblé « presque euphorique, comme quelqu’un qui aurait gagné à la loterie », lorsqu’il lui a annoncé sa disparition. Des révélations qui ont provoqué un tollé, au point de faire sortir Charles III de son silence, via un communiqué de Buckingham Palace : « Bien que nous ne commentions pas les livres par principe, Sa Majesté est consciente que la douleur du deuil fraternel peut obscurcir la raison, affecter le jugement et colorer la mémoire d’une manière que les autres ne reconnaissent pas, même de nombreuses années après une telle perte. » Une réponse particulièrement cinglante dans le langage habituellement policé de la monarchie. » | Par Léa Mabilon | Samedi 19 septembre 2026

German Chancellor Merz Calls State Election a 'Disaster' for His Party but Vows to Stay | BBC News

Sep 21, 2026 | German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has called two local election defeats for his party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), a "disaster" but vowed to remain in post.

In the north-eastern state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the CDU fell short of a 5% threshold to enter parliament, underperforming against what had already been projected to be the party's worst ever result in the area.

Far-right Alternative for Germany was on track to win the most votes in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, but it is unlikely to govern as other parties refuse to work with it.

Meanwhile in Berlin, the ruling CDU was on course to be beaten by Die Linke (The Left).
