Deutschland — Constantin Schreiber: „Droht uns die Verarmung?“

Jun 1, 2026 | Immer mehr Menschen in Deutschland sind arm. Die Armutsquote ist in den vergangenen Jahren gestiegen und betrifft inzwischen rund 13 Millionen Menschen.

Besonders alarmierend ist, dass immer mehr Menschen trotz Arbeit armutsgefährdet sind und kaum finanzielle Rücklagen bilden können. Viele Beschäftigte arbeiten ihr gesamtes Leben, müssen aber dennoch befürchten, im Alter nur eine geringe Rente zu erhalten. Die steigende Nachfrage bei Tafeln und Lebensmittelhilfen zeigt, dass finanzielle Not längst nicht mehr nur Randgruppen betrifft.

Gleichzeitig wächst der Wohlstand in vielen anderen Ländern schneller als in Deutschland, während die deutsche Wirtschaft unter schwachem Wachstum, hohen Kosten und mangelnden Investitionen leidet. Immer mehr Menschen leben finanziell auf Kante und können unerwartete Ausgaben kaum noch bewältigen.

Occupied Paris: How the City Defied the Nazis I SLICE History | Full Documentary

April 5, 2026 | When Nazi Germany occupied Paris in 1940, the city’s monuments, hotels, theaters, and public spaces became symbols of domination.

But behind that façade, acts of defiance began to spread, from quiet sabotage and clandestine meetings to student protests, underground networks, and the uprising that helped liberate the capital.

Michael Lambert: Trump Is Trapped as Midterms Approach

Jul 3, 2026 | Donald Trump is finding himself in an increasingly difficult corner as the midterm elections loom.

In this video, I look at how his foreign policy—from the escalating crisis in the Gulf to trade wars and beyond—is clashing with the harsh reality of a struggling economy, cost of living crisis and massive problems for millions of struggling Americans.

In the meantime, Trump is amassing fortunes for himself and his friends and seems obsessed with his legacy. But all is not well, and several recent setbacks suggest that his luck may be running out.

In this video I look at what will happen in the midterm elections and what Trump will do to avoid defeat.



That Australian article Mr Lambert read from was absolutely spot on. Brilliant, in fact. I am so looking forward to seeing the back of Trump and his chumps. I despise Trump and all he stands for. Trump's continuing existence is proving to me, once and for all, that God cannot possibly exist. For if He did, He would surely have taken him home by now! — © Mark Alexander

Trump Launches America’s 250th Birthday Celebrations with Partisan Attack

THE GUARDIAN: In a speech at Mount Rushmore on Friday evening, the US president claimed a resurgent ‘communist menace’ posed a severe threat to the country

Donald Trump has kicked off America’s 250th birthday weekend with an extraordinary partisan attack on what he called the “communist menace” in America, framing its supporters as “the enemy of July 4th, 1776”.

The US president spoke for half an hour on Friday night at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, the latest stop on his tour celebrating the milestone anniversary of the US declaration of independence from Britain.

Greeted by chants of “USA! USA!” and briefly interrupted by a flyover of F-16 jets, Trump praised the four presidents whose faces are carved into the granite mountain: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

“They were men of action, men of ambition, men of daring, men of destiny, and men of truly great intelligence,” said Trump, who has never ruled out the idea of his own face being added to Mount Rushmore. “Above all, they were the great men of history.”

The president asserted that US exceptionalism is rooted not only in its constitution, but its distinctive culture and identity. He condemned recent attempts to “beat the American spirit out of us” and “alienate us from our history”, vowing to an overwhelmingly white crowd: “We are going to give our country its identity back.”

Trump then abandoned any pretence of making a traditional head of state’s speech designed to rise above the fray, unify political parties and strike a chord with citizens of all persuasions.

Instead, four months ahead of November’s midterm elections for US Congress, he picked up on a theme he has repeatedly hammered lately: casting progressive Democrats as communists, who pose an existential threat to America. He was speaking hours after Zohran Mamdani, the mayor of New York and a democratic socialist, delivered a pro-immigrant address widely seen as a rebuke of Trump and his “Make America great again” movement. » | David Smith in Washington | Saturday, July 4, 2026

Le Niger adopte à son tour une loi criminalisant l’homosexualité

LE MONDE : Les « pratiques LGBTQIA + » sont désormais passibles de cinq à dix ans de prison dans le pays. Plusieurs pays africains ont récemment renforcé la répression contre les personnes homosexuelles.

Comme le Sénégal, le Niger vient d’adopter une loi très hostile aux personnes LGBT+. Alors que le pays ne criminalisait pas l’homosexualité, un texte prévoit dorénavant des peines pouvant aller de cinq à dix ans de prison et jusqu’à 100 millions de francs CFA (150 000 euros) en cas de relation sexuelle avec une personne de même sexe. C’est ce qui est précisé dans le nouveau code pénal adopté le 16 février dans le pays, dirigé par le général Abdourahamane Tiani, arrivé au pouvoir en juillet 2023 par un coup d’Etat, et dont les dispositions ne sont devenues publiques qu’en mai. » | Par Judith Renoult | Publié : vendredi 12 juin 2026.

Bashar El Assad: Power or Death

Dec 8, 2024 | This is the story of a man with two faces. The timid Doctor Bashar, who has long seduced the West and promised to move his country towards more democracy. And the terrible Mister Assad, dictator, who fights his own people in a civil war with hundreds of thousands of victims.

The terrible Mister Assad, dictator who fights his own people Thanks to the testimonies of his relatives and former executives of the regime, the film tells the rise of a man who was not supposed to be president, and deciphers a system that resembles that of the Mafia. With its godfathers, its settling of scores, and its billions in dirty money. Bashar El-Assad received Syria as an inheritance from his father, Hafez El-Assad. He is the one who built this iron dictatorship that has held the country for nearly 50 years. The film also explores the passionate ties that unite France and Syria. Leading French political figures, former ministers and diplomats, take us behind the scenes of this tumultuous relationship. A relationship that the story of Bashar El-Assad perfectly symbolises. French presidents Jacques Chirac and then Nicolas Sarkozy initially considered him a valuable ally and rolled out the red carpet for him. Before bitterly regretting it.

USA: Donald Trump baut Washington um

ul 2, 2026 | Donald Trump will die Hauptstadt Washington umbauen. Er hat bereits das Oval Office nach seinem Geschmack umgestaltet – mit Gold, Ornamenten und Porträts. Jetzt lässt er direkt gegenüber einen Ballsaal für 600 Millionen Dollar bauen, plant einen 76 Meter hohen Triumphbogen am Potomac River und schreibt per Dekret Klassizismus als Pflicht-Baustil für Bundesgebäude vor. Und das alles in dem Jahr, in dem die USA ihren 250. Geburtstag feiern.

Aber Washington ist keine gewöhnliche Stadt, sondern durchgeplant bis ins Detail: Sichtachsen, Monumente und Freiflächen erzählen die politische Geschichte der USA. Genau deshalb sind Trumps Bauprojekte so umstritten – sie stören dieses Gleichgewicht. Wir zeigen anhand mehrerer Beispiele, wie Trump Washington gerade verändert und warum es dabei um mehr geht als persönlichen Geschmack.

Russia Planning Attack on Poland to Test Nato Resolve, US Warns

Russia is planning an armed “provocation” on Polish soil to test Nato’s resolve, the United States has warned.

Polish critical infrastructure could be targeted by missiles and drones or Russian soldiers could cross the border into Nato territory.

Washington has issued several warnings to Warsaw about the plot, sources close to Karol Nawrocki, the Polish president, told Onet, the Polish news outlet, which, along with The Telegraph, is owned by Axel Springer and is part of its Global Reporters Network.

The goal of the Russian provocation would be to escalate tensions and force Western allies to suspend aid to Ukraine. It could be launched in a matter of months. » | Witold Jurasz in Warsaw. James Rothwell, Berlin Correspondent. Joe Barnes, Diplomatic Editor | Friday, July 3, 2026

Israel's 'Kill First' Strategy Is Now Aimed at Turkey | The David Hearst Podcast

Jul 2, 2026 | David Hearst, editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye, says that Donald Trump has signed two contradictory agreements to end his war on Iran. One promises an “immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon”, while the other gives Israeli forces occupying parts of southern Lebanon indefinite leave to remain.

Hearst says the Lebanon framework weakens Lebanese sovereignty, creates a military coordination group run from Washington, and obliges the Lebanese army to disarm Hezbollah, which many in Lebanon see as the only credible deterrent against Israeli attack.

He says that Lebanon has also granted immunity to Israeli troops and generals for war crimes committed during the invasion. He says that the contradiction reflects a tug of war inside the US administration. The Iran deal reflects the thinking of Vice President JD Vance, who opposed regime change in Tehran, while the Lebanon deal bears the imprint of Marco Rubio, who remains committed to that project.

Hearst argues that Israel’s failure to dictate terms to Iran has pushed it to regain power in Lebanon and Syria. But he says Israel is already turning its attention to Turkey, now presenting it as the “new Iran” and warning of a new Sunni axis involving Turkey, Syria and Qatar.

He concludes that Israel means what it says when Netanyahu vows to change the Middle East forever. The main battle line is now shifting to Lebanon and Syria, and hard power will be needed to stop Israel’s strategy of “kill them first”.

The Meloni Effect: Has Italy's Prime Minister Delivered on Her Promises? • FRANCE 24 English

July 3, 2026 | Three and a half years after becoming Italy's first female head of government, Giorgia Meloni remains one of Europe's most influential and controversial leaders.

From her working-class roots in Rome's Garbatella district to debates over immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and Italy's future, France 24's reporters investigate the impact of the "Meloni Effect" on everyday Italians.

A story by Natalia Mendoza, Tommaso Marro, Bernard Bedarida and Charlotte Davan Wetton.



Giorgia Meloni insists that she is a Christian. But where are her Christian values? Clearly, they are missing. It is impossible to be a good Christian without practising compassion and mercy for the downtrodden and the marginalised. Jesus sought out society’s outcasts and gave them centre-space in his teachings and ministry. Those were the poor, the sick, women, children, and sinners. So, trying to practise Christianity and making life difficult for the marginalised and downtrodden is not in accordance with the will of Jesus, ergo, not in accordance with the will of God.

If we are to be considered believers in Christianity, then we are all to believe that we are God’s children. If we are born a particular way with particular characteristics, with particular likes and dislikes, with particular inclinations and disinclinations, and in particular social circumstances, then it is because God created us to be that way.

No good God would want any one of his children to be treated badly. This is not rocket science; rather, it is common sense!

It is high time for those who espouse their adherence to Christianity to live by its teachings. They need to refrain from making up their own interpretations. There is but one version of Christianity, and that is Jesus Christ’s version! — © Mark Alexander

King to ‘Protect Multi-faith Nation’ in Revised Definition of Monarchy

THE TELEGRAPH: His Majesty’s redrafted job description also includes ‘strengthening the UK’s social fabric and cohesion’

Screenshot taken from this Telegraph article. | The King, who is Supreme Governor of the Church of England, will ‘protect the space for Faith within the multi-faith nation’ Credit: Adnan Abidi/Reuters

The King’s official job is to protect faith “within the multi-faith nation”, under a newly published palace definition of the monarch’s role.

The King, who is Supreme Governor of the Church of England, will “protect the space for Faith” under a redrafted job description from Buckingham Palace.

Published in the annual review of the Royal family’s finances, the Sovereign Grant report 2025-26, it changes the description of the King’s role as “Head of Nation” from last year, when he was the “Head of the Church of England and Defender of the Faith”.

This year it goes further to specify: “His Majesty is Supreme Governor of the Church of England and protects the space for Faith within the multi-faith nation.”

Before the King’s coronation, there was debate over whether the King would choose to be “Defender of Faith” in the plural, rather than “the Faith” as his Christian ancestors had been. In the event, he chose the traditional wording.

But he has made interfaith dialogue one of the cornerstones of his working life, both as Prince of Wales and now as King. He speaks regularly of the Abrahamic faiths and undertakes engagements with the Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Orthodox, and other religious communities in Britain and around the world. » | Hannah Furness | Royal Editor | Friday, June 26, 2026

When you try to be all things to all men, you are in danger of ending up being nothing to anyone!

When Queen Elizabeth II died, something great about this nation died with her.

This decision by the monarchy could well, in the long run, turn out to be yet another nail in its coffin!

The British monarchy is in a parlous state anyway, especially because of the scandal brought upon it by the former Prince Andrew, who is now known merely as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

We are supposed to be a democracy. Whether we are or not is, of course, very debatable indeed. As far as I am concerned, this country doesn’t measure up. Far too many things happen without the consent of the people. This decision by the monarchy is a case in point. What do the British people feel about this momentous decision to downgrade Christianity as the nation’s faith?

Moreover, with Islam growing apace in this country, and with Muslims’ rock-solid antipathy towards homosexuality, how long will it be before King Charles goes along with the harsh punishment of queers in this nation? Does the king envisage rubber-stamping such harsh and ludicrous punishments for two men or women loving each other?

King Charles needs to start living in the real world, hard though it would be for him to do so. He needs to understand one very important thing about Islam: there is no such thing as Islam-lite. When it comes to Islam, it’s the real deal, or nothing!

With all this going on at the top of the British establishment, maybe the time has come for the British people to start giving headspace to the idea that this country might well, one day, become a republic. It was 250 years ago that Americans rejected the British king. Maybe now, 250 years later, the time has come for the British themselves to do the same! — © Mark Alexander

Burnham Set to Ditch Palantir from NHS

Andy Burnham is set to ditch Palantir from the NHS, The Telegraph can reveal.

The prime minister-in-waiting did not grant the US tech company any contracts during his nine years as Greater Manchester mayor, and is minded to take the same approach in No 10.

Mr Burnham is reviewing the Government’s overall artificial intelligence strategy, and an aide said he believed “unfettered tech boosterism” was turning off voters.

In his first keynote speech on Monday, he said he wanted to see social value play a larger part in contracts awarded by the Government.

Mr Burnham is expected to succeed Sir Keir Starmer as soon as July 20, and will then have to decide whether to cut ties with Palantir two years into its seven-year, £330m NHS deal. » | Dominic Penna | Senior Political Correspondent | Thursday, July 2, 2026

Tucker Carlson, the influential conservative media commentator, said in an interview that he planned to help start a new political party after leaving the Republican Party, but that he had no interest in running for office.

Mr. Carlson, a former close ally of President Trump who has broken with the Republican Party over the war with Iran, told the Columbia Journalism Review that he was “going to help build a third party.”

“There should be a good-faith effort to figure out what benefits the country,” Mr. Carlson said in an interview with the Columbia Journalism Review published Wednesday.

He outlined his plans at a moment of upheaval for both parties: The insurgent left appears ascendant in the Democratic Party as the base has grown angry over the party leadership’s stance on Israel since the war in Gaza. The Republican Party has been fractured by Mr. Trump’s handling of the war with Iran.

Mr. Carlson, a popular podcaster and former Fox News host, said last month that he was leaving the Republican Party. He described himself on a podcast episode as a “consistent defender” of the party for 35 years, but said that he believed the party had lost touch with “America first” principles under Mr. Trump. » | Tim Balk | Thursday, July 2, 2026

Vor Gipfel in der Türkei: Trump bezeichnet Deutschlands Nato-Ausgaben als „lächerlich“


TAGESSPIEGEL: Es sind nur noch wenige Tage bis zum Nato-Gipfel in der Türkei. Donald Trump setzt jetzt den Ton und baut Druck auch Richtung Deutschland auf. Worauf er sich genau stützt, ist unklar.

Kurz vor dem Nato-Gipfel in Ankara teilt US-Präsident Donald Trump erneut gegen Deutschland und andere Verbündete aus. Er bezeichnete deren Beiträge für das Verteidigungsbündnis in einem Post auf der Plattform Truth Social als „lächerlich“. Damit baut Trump Druck auf die Nato-Alliierten vor dem Gipfel auf, der am 7. und 8. Juli in der Türkei abgehalten wird.

Trump listete in seinem Post mehrere Länder, darunter Großbritannien und Italien, sowie Finanzzahlen auf. Diese ähneln einem Nato-Bericht für das Jahr 2025 zu Verteidigungsausgaben, Trump nannte aber keine genaue Quelle. » | Tagesspiegel | Donnerstag, 2. Juli 2026

« Un affront au peuple de Dieu » : à Écône, la stupeur après les excommunications et les menaces du pape envers la Fraternité Saint Pie X

LE FIGARO : REPORTAGE - Le Vatican a excommunié ce jeudi six évêques de la fraternité. Attendue, sa riposte a été bien plus virulente que prévu, visant notamment les fidèles.

Le choc est rude, ce jeudi matin, sur la prairie d’Écône, siège de la Fraternité sacerdotale Saint Pie X (FSSPX). Fidèles, prêtres, religieux et religieuses sont encore incrédules. Beaucoup s’attendaient à une riposte romaine, mais pas à une frappe aussi incisive, qui menace particulièrement les simples fidèles d’« excommunication » s’ils entrent dans le « schisme ». La sanction est tombée au moment où le premier signe de croix introduisait la « messe pontificale », avec les quatre nouveaux évêques ordonnés la veille sans l’aval du pape.

C’est le cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez, préfet du dicastère pour la Doctrine de la foi, qui a signé ce « décret ». Le Vatican constate que, « malgré les admonitions » adressées par Rome à la FSSPX, l’évêque Alfonso de Galarreta « a accompli un acte de nature schismatique » en consacrant quatre évêques « sans mandat pontifical et contre la volonté du pontife romain ». » | Par Jean-Marie Guénois, | envoyé spécial à Écône (Suisse) | jeudi 2 juillet 2026

Ghana: - Its Anti-Gay Law Must Surely Be Vetoed in the Name of Commonn Sense, Mercy, and Compassion

AVAAZ: Days ago Parliament passed a horrific anti-gay bill. If it becomes law, innocent people could be locked up when all they want is to love in peace. Many have gone into hiding. Others are already fleeing the country.

But let’s not lose hope.

President Nana Akufo-Addo could veto the bill and stop it from becoming law. We know he doesn't actually support it - he understands how bad it is for Ghana’s international reputation.

“We are deeply worried about the national bill that plans to send people to prison because of their sexual orientation. We call on you to veto the anti-gay bill to become law in Ghana.”

Please sign this PETITION to help veto this outrageous bill.

UGANDA: Further, we have less than two weeks to tell the world Wendy and Diana's story.
What would you risk to kiss the one you love? Wendy and Diana, a young lesbian couple in Uganda, risked everything. And now the government wants to lock them in prison because of who they love. Brave LGBT+ champions inside Uganda are saying that an international outcry could be enough to push authorities to set Wendy and Diana free. But time is running out – their trial starts in less than two weeks and they’re facing years behind bars.
Please sign this PETITION to help these two young ladies. Time is running out. Please sign the petition here.
