Trump Removes Stephen Bannon From National Security Council Post
But behind the scenes, White House officials said, the ideologist who enjoyed the president’s confidence became increasingly embattled as other advisers, including Mr. Trump’s daughter and son-in-law, complained about setbacks on health care and immigration. Lately, Mr. Bannon has been conspicuously absent from some meetings. And now he has lost his seat at the national security table.

Fox Losing More Advertisers After Sexual Harassment Claims Against O’Reilly
Following an investigation by The New York Times over the weekend that revealed multiple settlements over allegations of sexual harassment or other inappropriate behavior by Mr. O’Reilly, the network faced a major advertising revolt as more than a dozen marketers said that they were withdrawing their ads from “The O’Reilly Factor.” Escalating the tension, the National Organization for Women called for Mr. O’Reilly to be fired and said an independent investigation should be conducted into the culture at Fox News.
“Fox News is too big and too influential to simply let this go,” Terry O’Neill, the president of NOW, said in a statement. » | Emily Steel and Michael S. Schmidt | Tuesday, April 4, 2017

Editorial: Enabling Egypt’s President Sisi, an Enemy of Human Rights
Yet that’s what President Trump did on Monday in not just welcoming but celebrating one of the most authoritarian leaders in the Middle East, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt, a man responsible for killing hundreds of Egyptians, jailing thousands of others and, in the process, running his country and its reputation into the ground. » | The Editorial Board | Tuesday, April 4, 2017

ISIS Message Calls Trump 'Foolish Idiot'
ISIS spokesman Abu Hasan al-Muhajir narrates the roughly 37-minute message, which was released Tuesday.
"You (America) are bankrupt and the signs of your demise are evident to every eye," Muhajir says. "There is no clearer sign of you being ruled by a foolish idiot who does not know what Levant or Iraq or Islam is, who continue(s) his hallucination to express his animosity and war against it (Islam)."
The message was distributed via social media by ISIS supporters. » | Jason Hanna and Mohammed Tawfeeq, CNN | Wednesday, April 5, 2017

But where other presidents might have used the moment to call for the departure of Syria’s authoritarian leader, Bashar al-Assad, President Trump’s spokesman dismissed the notion as impractical because it would not happen. “We would look like, to some degree, rather silly not acknowledging the political realities that exist in Syria,” said the spokesman, Sean Spicer. » | Peter Baker | Tuesday, April 4, 2017

It seems to me that Theresa May wants her cake and eat it. And chasing around the world, brown-nosing here and brown-nosing there is most unbecoming. She'd be far better off working with our European brothers and sisters than this. Our future should be in Europe, not the Middle East. – Mark

Up to 100,000 UK Jobs At Risk as Merkel and Juncker Ally Warns on Euro Clearing
The future of an estimated 100,000 jobs has been plunged into doubt after a close political ally of the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, and president of the European commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, warned that a prized sector in the City of London must relocate to EU soil after Brexit.
Manfred Weber, the leader of the largest political group in the European parliament, to which both the German chancellor and the commission president belong, told reporters that euro-denominated clearing could no longer be undertaken in the City when the UK leaves the EU.
“EU citizens decide on their own money,” Weber said during a press conference in Strasbourg on Tuesday. “When the UK is leaving the European Union it is not thinkable that at the end the whole euro business is managed in London. This is an external place, this is not an EU place any more. The euro business should be managed on EU soil.” Read on and comment » | Daniel Boffey | Tuesday, April 4, 2017

Edward VIII - The Uncrowned King
Two days after the death of the Duke of Windsor, Ludovic Kennedy asks what kind of monarch Edward VIII might have made if he had remained on the throne. Kennedy introduces an interview with the duke himself, filmed in 1969, in which the latter talks about his dislike for the formalities of his status, expresses strong opinions on the establishment and recalls many of the prime ministers he met while he was heir apparent and, subsequently, King.
In the studio, Kennedy discusses the duke's abdication and its effect upon the monarchy with historian AJP Taylor, Windsor family friend Lady Bridget Monckton, former Member of Parliament Lord Robert Boothby and journalist Colin Coote. The last word, thanks to the 1969 interview, is granted to the duke's wife, Wallis, Duchess of Windsor.

Europe Fears Islam
Muslims and Islamic extremists are arriving en masse in a continent that is collapsing demographically and culturally. And there are even important voices, such as that of French philosopher Michel Onfray, who are ready to capitulate and to renounce the Judeo-Christian civilization.
I am not. Europe should not be willing to surrender. Otherwise, nothing will stand on the road between one billion Muslims and their dream to build a caliphate in Europe. Our hedonists are not even willing to fight for an Iphone. » | Giulio Meotti | Friday, March 31, 2017

Analyse – Grossbritanniens autoritärer Wandel
Von einem Land, das am 23. Juni 2016 noch davon überzeugt war, dass es in der EU bleiben würde, ist Grossbritannien zu einer Nation geworden, die sich nicht mehr nur dem institutionellen Gefüge der Union entziehen möchte, sondern damit droht, Europa ganz den Rücken zu kehren. Die britische Regierungschefin Theresa May hat angekündigt, sie könne notfalls auch ohne neue Handelsvereinbarung mit den EU-Staaten leben. «Lieber gar keinen Deal als einen schlechten», sagte sie im Januar.
Boris Johnson, der Aussenminister, hat hinzugefügt, ein kompletter Bruch mit der Europäischen Union wäre für ihn «vollkommen in Ordnung». Und Finanzminister Philip Hammond hat signalisiert, sein Land werde sich gegebenenfalls in ein Billiglohnland und eine Steueroase vor den Küsten Europas verwandeln, um sich gegenüber der EU zu behaupten und um internationales Kapital an sich zu ziehen.
