Trump Just Sent China a Dangerous Message | Steve Schmidt
Michael Lambert: “I Am Certain We Will Return to the EU and This Is Why”
Sep 25, 2026 | Brexit was the stupidest thing we have ever done as a nation, and it has cost us dearly. Official figures show we have lost between 4 and 8% of GDP - at least £100 billion a year in exports to the EU, leaving the Exchequer £40 billion a year worse off. Over six years, that is £240 billion lost.
In this video I explain why small and medium-sized businesses can no longer sell to the EU, why ministers are now beginning to blame Brexit for our economic difficulties, and why I believe the next general election manifesto will contain a route back to the EU.
I also address the argument that the EU wouldn't have us back, look at what European leaders have actually said about the door being open, why a significant majority now think Brexit was a mistake, and why Reform can be countered by linking them directly to the consequences of Brexit.

Espagne : une municipalité de Catalogne interdit le port de la burqa dans les espaces publics
LE FIGARO : Cette interdiction est votée près de deux mois après la crise inédite à Ceuta, où plus de 70.000 migrants venus du Maroc sont arrivés en moins de 48 heures dans cet enclave espagnole en Afrique du Nord.
La ville espagnole de Lérida, en Catalogne (nord-est), a approuvé vendredi l'interdiction de se « dissimuler le visage » dans l'espace public, prohibant de fait le port de la burqa, en plein durcissement du débat sur l'immigration en Espagne.
Avec 16 voix pour (celles du Parti socialiste catalan, des indépendantistes de Junts et de Vox) et 11 contre, le conseil municipal de cette ville de près de 150.000 habitants, située à 150 km de Barcelone, a adopté une modification de son « Ordonnance sur le civisme et le vivre ensemble », a-t-il indiqué sur le réseau social X. « Il est interdit de demeurer ou de circuler dans l'espace public avec des objets qui dissimulent totalement le visage », est-il indiqué dans ce texte, qui ne mentionne pas explicitement la burqa. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | vendredi 25 septembre 2026

Trump Has Gone Full Authoritarian | Ruth Ben-Ghiat
Sep 22, 2026 | Has Donald Trump moved from authoritarian rhetoric to an increasingly authoritarian governing style?
Ruth Ben-Ghiat joins the conversation about Trump's expanding executive power, his attacks on the press, and the broader authoritarian patterns she has studied in historical strongman regimes.
The latest confrontation with the media has intensified the debate. Trump banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House after attacking their coverage, prompting the outlets to sue and legal experts to raise First Amendment concerns over viewpoint discrimination.
Ben-Ghiat has described the White House's treatment of the press as part of an “autocratic playbook,” while recent analysis has also highlighted the administration's efforts to expand presidential power.
What does this tell us about where American democracy is heading — and what happens when traditional checks on presidential power begin to weaken?

Euthanasie, laïcité, enseignement catholique : à l’Élysée, Léon XIV appelle les chrétiens à s’impliquer dans la société française
LE FIGARO : En présence d’Emmanuel Macron et de nombreuses personnalités, le pape a insisté sur le droit à la vie, dans le contexte récent de l’adoption de la loi sur l’aide à mourir.
Pour la première intervention de sa visite en France, Léon XIV, qui s’est adressé, depuis l’Élysée vendredi matin, au président de la République et à de hautes personnalités, a insisté sur le rôle des catholiques dans la société laïque, laquelle a tendance à repousser toute intervention des religions hors du champ politique. « Une juste laïcité ne consiste pas à exclure la religion de l’espace public ou de l’éducation, a souligné le pape, mais à travailler pour que l’État et les institutions religieuses dialoguent ensemble et unissent leurs forces au service du bien commun, pour que le monde ait la vie ».
Aux yeux du chef de l’Église catholique, cette « juste laïcité » n’est pas une infraction à la séparation des Églises et de l’État : « Le chrétien impliqué dans la vie publique, et agissant selon la lumière de sa conscience éclairée par la foi, ne peut être considéré comme un prosélyte ou une menace à l’unité de la patrie ». Une seconde fois, il a insisté : « la véritable laïcité n’exclut pas la dimension religieuse, mais sait au contraire en tirer parti comme d’une ressource éducative ». » | Par Jean-Marie Guénois | vendredi 25 septembre 2026

Pope Leo XIV's Speech from the Élysée • FRANCE 24 English
Interesting factsL
Pope Leo XIV has significant French roots, with genealogical estimates suggesting he is roughly 40 percent French.
Though born Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago, United States, genealogical research shows that he has deep French connections on both sides of his family tree:
1. Paternal Lineage: His surname "Prevost" (originally Prévost) is of French origin. His paternal grandmother, Suzanne Louise Fontaine, was born in Le Havre, Normandy, France, in 1894, and his paternal great-grandmother was also French.
2 Maternal Lineage: Through his mother's side (stemming from Louisiana Creole heritage), he possesses both French-Canadian and French Caribbean lineage, including colonial settlers who emigrated from France to New France in the 17th century as well as free people of color with historical ties to French colonial Louisiana.

Mamdani Accuses Netanyahu of Spreading ‘Baseless Lies’ After U.N. Speech
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The Israeli prime minister accused Mayor Zohran Mamdani, an outspoken critic of Israel, of antisemitism. The mayor has become a political foil for the prime minister.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel again attacked Mayor Zohran Mamdani during a speech to the U.N. General Assembly on Thursday, accusing the mayor of antisemitism and saying his criticism of Israel had endangered New York’s Jewish population.
Mr. Netanyahu said that since Mr. Mamdani took office, “many Jews no longer feel safe in New York.”
Mr. Mamdani, New York’s first Muslim mayor, has long been an outspoken critic of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and has denounced Mr. Netanyahu as a war criminal. Mr. Netanyahu has repeatedly assailed the mayor over his views, and many of the claims the prime minister made during his speech echoed his past attacks on Mr. Mamdani.
In response, Mr. Mamdani accused the prime minister of using his U.N. speech “to repeat baseless lies meant to sanitize his genocide of Palestinians.”
“Yet no lie can change the fact that he remains the subject of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant alleging war crimes and crimes against humanity,” the mayor said in a statement. » | Liam Stack | Thursday, September 24, 2026

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
Presenter: Cyril Vanier
Guests:
Diego Guelar -- Former Argentinian ambassador to the U.S., EU and China

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.
The rejection of visas by the Trump regime for the Palestinian delegation is reprehensible! As is the denial of Palestinian statehood. These poor people are being treated worse than animals. It is inhuman and a total and utter disgrace. Quit the genocide! — © Mark Alexander

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.

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

Les 10 révélations explosives du livre de Charles Spencer sur la princesse Diana
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. Florilège de ses déclarations les plus marquantes. » | Par Solene Delinger | Publié : mardi 22 septembre 2026. Mis à jour : mercredi 23 septembre 2026

Could Cuba Become a "Silent Gaza"? U.S. Fuel Blockade Aims to "Asphyxiate" Island
Sep 22, 2026 | As the United Nations General Assembly opens in New York, we speak with senior Cuban diplomat Carlos Fernández de Cossío, who says the Trump administration is seeking to "asphyxiate the people of Cuba into submission."
On Friday, millions in Cuba lost power in what was at least the sixth major blackout since President Trump cut off fuel shipments to the island in January. The fuel blockade comes on top of the six-decade-long U.S. economic embargo and countless attempts to topple the communist government.

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.

Earl Spencer Was Right to 'Set the Record Straight' on 'Ugly' Royal Past | AN Wilson
Sep 22, 2026 | "We love the King now because he's a nice old codger ... but the past was pretty ugly and I think it was right to set the record straight."
Earl Spencer's 'Swan Song', a book divulging his side of events surrounding Diana's death which was published today, was right to "set the record straight" on the King while he's still living, says historian AN Wilson.
