“Mchermel, m’chermel, mcharmel or mshermel are all transliterations of the Arabic word مشَرْمل, which means “marinated.” In Moroccan cooking, there are two usages of this word.
In a general sense, mchermel can simply refer to a step when something is marinated. In a more specific sense, mchermel is a style of Moroccan cooking in which a dish calls for the use of a marinade before and during cooking.” Source: A Taste of Morocco.

Tories Round on Boris Johnson as MPs Vote to Approve Partygate Report
THE GUARDIAN: MPs endorse privileges committee report censuring former PM by 354 votes to seven
Conservative infighting over Boris Johnson misleading the House of Commons about Partygate reached bitter new heights on Monday night, with his supporters being told to hang their heads in shame.
Johnson faces being blocked from obtaining special access to parliament after being rounded on by furious Tory MPs in an attempt to “restore faith” in democracy.
An overwhelming majority backed the privileges committee’s conclusion that Johnson committed five contempts of parliament, including misleading the Commons and the cross-party group investigating him. Only seven MPs voted against the report, dwarfed by the 354 who voted for it.
Rishi Sunak was absent for the debate along with other senior Cabinet ministers, and was accused by Labour MPs of having “run away”. Downing Street said he was busy meeting the Swedish prime minister before being due to attend a dinner in the evening. » | Aubrey Allegretti, Senior political correspondent | Monday, June 19, 2023

Spotify’s head of podcast innovation and monetisation has labelled Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex “grifters” after their $20m, multi-year deal to make podcasts with the streaming platform came to an end after they made just 12 episodes.
Ringer podcast network founder Bill Simmons – who sold his company to Spotify for $196m in 2020 and gained a leadership role at the company in the deal – criticised Harry and Meghan on his own podcast, following the announcement that the Sussexes’ audio production company, Archewell, had severed ties with Spotify. The couple signed a $20m deal with Spotify in 2020.
The Archetypes podcast, which was hosted by Meghan, featured conversations with friends and celebrities including Serena Williams, Mariah Carey and Trevor Noah. It topped the podcast charts for Spotify in a number of markets, but only 12 episodes were made. » | Sian Cain | Monday, June 19, 2023

Deutschland: Doppelt so viele Jugendliche rauchen: Was ist da los? | Aktuelle Stunde
Dec 29, 2023 | Doppelt so viele rauchende Jugendliche: Im Vergleich zum Vorjahr ist die Zahl der 14-17 Jährigen, die Tabak rauchen, deutlich gestiegen. Das ergibt eine Studie der Deutschen Befragung zum Rauchverhalten (DEBRA-Studie), über die zuerst der SPIEGEL berichtet hat. Woran der krasse Anstieg der Zahlen liegt, ist aber nicht klar.
In Zahlen bedeutet das: 15,9 Prozent der 14-17-Jährigen rauchen. Damit sind sie aber nicht allein: Auch unter den 18- bis 24-Jährigen rauchen mehr Menschen als im Vorjahr – hier ist der Anteil von etwa 36 auf 41 Prozent gestiegen.
Die DEBRA-Studie wird seit 2016 durchgeführt und befragt alle zwei Monate rund 2.000 Teilnehmende. Damit ist sie laut SPIEGEL die umfangreichste Untersuchung zu dem Thema. Den Begriff „Rauchen“ definiert sie als den „täglichen oder nicht täglichen Konsum von Zigaretten oder Tabak in anderer Form“.

I’m an ultra-Orthodox Rabbi and I Speak Up for LGBTQ Jews
HAARETZ: No one should ever have to choose between a queer identity and a religious one. Rabbinic voices can even be used to incite evil, or it can inspire love, acceptance, and celebration. That is why I spoke at the Jerusalem Pride March earlier this month
I’m an ultra-orthodox rabbi and I recently traveled from New York to Israel to speak at the Jerusalem Pride March earlier this month. I think it’s safe to say I was likely the only ultra-Orthodox rabbi in the crowd of some 30,000 people, many of them waving rainbow flags emblazoned with the Star of David.
I traveled to Jerusalem as part of a delegation from Congregation Beit Simchat Torah in New York City, the world's largest LGBTQ+ synagogue. We came to show our support for our LGBTQ+ friends and family, especially in the wake of the many threats of violence directed at the marchers in a city not known for its tolerance of the community.
We also came, during these turbulent times politically in Israel, in solidarity and love for all those fighting for democracy and justice.
…
Everyone suffers from incompleteness whenever anyone is missing. This June, Pride month, is the ideal time for all of us, religious, secular, strait, and LGBTQ+ to start talking about how to make that inclusion a reality. » | Rabbi Mark Moskowitz | Sunday, June 18, 2023

Islamisten sollen Anschlag auf Regenbogenparade geplant haben
FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG: Am Samstag marschierten in Wien 300.000 Personen bei der Regenbogenparade mit. Jetzt wird bekannt: Zuvor wurden drei mutmaßliche Islamisten festgenommen. Der Jüngste ist 14 Jahre alt.
In Wien haben die Sicherheitsbehörden nach eigenen Angaben einen drohenden islamistischen Anschlag auf die Regenbogenparade am Samstag vereitelt. In einer am Sonntag kurzfristig anberaumten Pressekonferenz des Staatsschutzes wurde mitgeteilt, dass drei teils noch jugendliche Verdächtige vor Beginn der Veranstaltung in der Wiener Innenstadt, an der bis zu 300.000 Personen teilgenommen haben, festgenommen worden seien. Die Gruppe sei zuvor schon beobachtet und „engmaschig überwacht“ worden, so dass für die Veranstaltung „zu keiner Zeit eine Gefahr“ bestanden habe. Teilnehmern war allerdings die besonders hohe Zahl an Polizeikräften aufgefallen. » | Von Stephan Löwenstein, Wien || Sonntag, 18. Juni 2023

Owners of the Most Polluting Cars to Pay Double for Parking across England
THE OBSERVER: Lambeth council in London is latest to introduce emissions-based fees, with similar charges expected to be widely introduced
Owners of the most polluting cars may soon have to pay more to park as councils across England are expected to roll out new charges based on a vehicle’s CO2 emissions.
Lambeth is the latest council in London to introduce emissions-based parking fees, with similar charges now expected elsewhere in England. Owners of the most polluting cars can expect to pay more than twice as much as cleaner cars. There are now 26 different charges to park for an hour in Lambeth, depending on a car’s tax band and whether there is a diesel surcharge. The cost of a parking bay near Waterloo station in south London now ranges between £6.30 and £13.23 an hour, with payment made by an app. » | Jon Ungoed-Thomas | Sunday, Jun 18, 2023

China’s Illegal Police Stations in 53 Countries around the World | 60 Minutes Australia
Jun 18, 2023 | It’s well known that China won’t stand for any criticism. There, opponents of the communist regime are simply not tolerated. But it seems Beijing now thinks it also has the right to ignore international borders and silence dissent anywhere it sees fit. Around the world it’s setting up illegal outposts called “Chinese Overseas Police Service Stations”, and as the name implies, the objective of these offices is clear. Our law enforcement agencies deny there are any of these stations in Australia, even though Chinese authorities openly publicise their existence.
But as Tara Brown reports in a special 60 MINUTES investigation, that’s not the end of the intimidation. China is also using disgraceful new tactics to target Australians who dare to speak out.

Russia Wants to Ban All Trans Healthcare and Gender Recognition
PINK NEWS: Russia has given initial approval to a bill that would outlaw gender-affirming healthcare for trans people of all ages.
The proposed bill reportedly bans any “medical interventions aimed at changing the sex of a person”, as well as changing gender markers on official documents like passports.
Senior politician Pyotr Tolstoy, who sponsored the bill, claimed on Wednesday (14 June) it would “protect Russia with its cultural and family values and traditions and stop the infiltration of the Western anti-family ideology,” the Associated Press reported.
Lawmakers also reportedly claimed the proposed law would prevent anybody registered as male from changing their gender in official documents to avoid the military draft.
It will now go to Russia’s lower house of parliament, the State Duma, where it must receive three readings to be signed into law. The bill was approved unanimously in its first reading, The Times reported.
The Russian bill follows similar efforts elsewhere in the world, including in the US, where several states are attempting to ban or limit gender-affirming care for young people. » | Emily Chudy | Friday, June 16, 2023

Brexit to Blame for Rising Inflation, Says Former Bank of England Governor
THE GUARDIAN: Mark Carney says Bank’s negative predictions about consequences of leaving EU ‘proven to be the case’

Brexit is to blame for the soaring inflation driving the cost of living crisis in the UK, a former governor of the Bank of England has said.
Mark Carney, who pro-Brexit figures said should have been fired for warning about the economic dangers of leaving the EU prior to the vote, said he took no pleasure in being proven right because the resultant hardship had been placed on the backs of millions of ordinary people.
“We laid out in advance of Brexit that this will be a negative supply shock for a period of time and the consequence of that will be a weaker pound, higher inflation and weaker growth,” Carney said.
“And the central bank will need to lean against that. Now that’s exactly what’s happened. It’s happened in coincidence with other factors, but it is a unique aspect of the economic adjustment that’s going on here,” he told the Daily Telegraph. » | Kevin Rawlinson | Saturday, June 17, 2023

The Russian Partygate
Jun 17, 2023 | This is MUCH more serious than the Downing Street parties.
Everyone is talking about Partygate now that the former Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has been found to have misled Parliament over Covid lockdown parties. But much more serious is The Russian Partygate – the allegations that Boris Johnson put the country’s security into serious peril with his connections to Russia and the former KGB spy and billionaire Russian oligarch, Alexander Lebedev.
There are questions about this that Mr Johnson and the government still stubbornly refuse to answer. Why, for example, did Mr Johnson, when he was Foreign Secretary in 2018, leave a top-level NATO meeting to immediately fly, alone and without his officials, to join a party with Mr Lebedev, and his Russian-born son Evgeny, at his luxurious villa in Italy?
The next day Mr Johnson was seen at San Francesco d’Assisi airport “looking like he had slept in his clothes” and reportedly barely able to walk. In 2020, despite objections by the UK security services and the House of Lords Appointments Commission, Mr Johnson as Prime Minister appointed Evgeny Lebedev – owner of The Independent and the Evening Standard – to the House of Lords.
The government has resisted calls from Labour to publish the full documents related to the peerage. The government’s decision not to order an investigation into Russia’s alleged interference in the Scottish independence referendum, the EU referendum, and the 2019 general election, has been taken to the European Court of Human Rights for a ruling. The international court has ordered the government to respond to the legal claim brought by three MPs – Ben Bradshaw (Labour), Caroline Lucas (Green), and Alyn Smith (SNP).
Earlier this year, The European Court sent the government a list of questions going to the heart of the allegations. The government was required to respond by 26 April. We still don’t know if they did. The Court press office advised me [Mr Danzig] that a judgement on the case is “currently still pending” and in the meantime, “The parties’ pleadings are not published.” Commented Ben Bradshaw, “We argue that the government’s failure [to investigate Russian interference] was a breach of its duty to ensure free and fair elections in the United Kingdom, and as such constitutes a very serious breach of its obligations to the British people.”

BBC: When Spotify signed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with an exclusive deal reportedly worth about $20m (£15.6m) in 2020, the royal couple were taking their first steps into the commercial world and podcasts were positively booming.
How times have changed.
These days, Prince Harry and Meghan's brand has waned in the eyes of some and Spotify is reducing its reliance on the big celebrity signings and expensive original content that have weighed on its bottom line.
Meghan’s podcast became one of the most high-profile casualties this week when Spotify and the duke and duchess's Archewell Audio announced they would be parting ways in a mutual decision.
It came after Spotify's deal with Barack and Michelle Obama's production company ended last year. Spotify has let go hundreds of staff since that time, hitting the expansive podcasting division, a hotchpotch of podcasting companies it spent more than $400m acquiring just a few years ago. » | Natalie Sherman, Business reporter, New York | Saturday, June 17, 2023

Boris Johnson - Good Riddance!
Jun 17, 2023 | Boris Johnson was always a bad choice for prime minister. He is incompetent, self-obsessed, dishonest and lazy. He has been found guilty by the Parliamentary Standards Committee of misleading the House of Commons on several occasions. His response was to cry foul and to accuse the Committee of holding a witch-hunt and of being a 'kangaroo court'.
Johnson's time as prime minister is long gone and he will not return. He presided over chaos, lack of discipline and incompetence whilst standards in No 10 collapsed. He used Brexit in order to get elected and banned any Conservatives not in favour from standing in the general electi on 2019. His frontline political career is now over.
In the meantime, a French company has been contracted to control imports from the EU in Kent, an Australian company has been contracted to provide more prison ships for asylum seekers and water companies, many of which are foreign-owned, are faced with empty reservoirs after a few days of sunshine.

Drinking Alcohol Is Bad for You – End of. Ignore the Headlines That Claim Otherwise
THE GUARDIAN: Another week, another article suggesting that alcohol may have health benefits. It’s amazing how desperate drinkers are to fool themselves
It’s amazing how easy it is to persuade us that what we want to be true is true. Consider a typical headline to a story covered with great enthusiasm by many major news organisations this week: “Moderate alcohol consumption may lower stress, reduce heart disease risk, study finds.” Enthusiastic drinkers, drowning in a dark sea of health warnings, will cling on to such words as stricken sailors might hold on to the hull of their capsized boat.
They will turn a blind eye to the facts of the story, although even the headline itself, with its “may” and its “study finds”, suggests this scientific revelation isn’t quite the slam dunk we might be hoping for. Once the study’s methodology and conclusions are outlined, it’s clear that the whole thing falls into the category of quite interesting, rather than this changes everything. But who needs that level of detail? If I’m so minded, there’s as much information in the headline as I’m ever going to want or need to support my long-cherished pet theory about drinking. “I knew it! I told you so! Drinking helps me deal with stress, ergo it eases the strain on my poor ticker, therefore I’ll live longer and more happily.” I’ll file this fact away along with that one about red wine being good for you, as good as a health drink. » | Adrian Chiles | Wednesday, June 14, 2023
TV presenter Adrian Chiles opens up about his difficult relationship with alcohol ahead of appearance in Ilkley: Adrian Chiles was drinking 100 units a week when a doctor told him he had potential liver damage.

The Puritans are back! First, there was a war on smoking (which is still raging); now, the war on drinking alcohol has started! After tobacco and alcohol, what will come next? Soon there will be no pleasures left for us! What a boring world this is becoming! People are becoming boring too! Policing the behaviour of others has become a pastime for many.
Have people forgotten the maxims that served us so well and for so long? ‘Moderation in all things’ and, ‘A little bit of what you fancy does you good’?
The problem today is that so many are incapable of moderation or self-discipline. The result? We all have to pay the price of the immoderate drinker and inconsiderate smoker.
The way things are going it will soon be de rigueur for us all to convert to Islam! Soon the Puritans will be mandating prayer times. If you think that is far-fetched, just wait a while longer! – © Mark Alexander

Boris Johnson Breaks Ministerial Code with New Daily Mail Job
BBC: Boris Johnson has committed a "clear breach" of the ministerial code by not clearing a new role writing a column for the Daily Mail with the parliamentary authorities.
The committee that vets ex-ministers' appointments says he informed them only half an hour before the news emerged.
The first weekly column by the former prime minister appeared online late on Friday afternoon.
The paper was one of Mr Johnson's staunchest supporters when he was PM.
Mr Johnson resigned as an MP on Monday, but is still required to seek advice from the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (Acoba) on new jobs for two years after leaving ministerial office.
He stepped down as prime minister last September. » | Brian Wheeler & Chas Geiger, BBC News | Friday, June 16, 2023

Neues Gesetz soll „Verständnis“ für sexuelle Minderheiten stärken
FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG: Als letzte große Industrienation verabschiedet Japan ein Gesetz, dass die Rechte sexueller Minderheiten stärken soll. Ein Satz darin sorgt jedoch für Kritik.
In der Innenstadt von Tokio ist das nichts Besonderes: Der Barista im Hipster-Café trägt Pferdeschwanz und diverse Ohrringe. Vor dem Café laufen zwei Männer Hand in Hand, offensichtlich Touristen, was hier, in der Nähe des Tokyo Towers, niemanden weiter interessiert.
In weiten Teilen der japanischen Gesellschaft sieht das aber noch anders aus – was sich an den jahrelangen Diskussionen um ein Gesetz für mehr Toleranz gegenüber sexuellen Minderheiten (LGBTQ) zeigt. Am Freitag hat es Ministerpräsident Fumio Kishida mit seiner Regierungskoalition nun verabschiedet. » | Von Tim Kanning, Tokio | Freitag, 16. Juni 2023

Hungry Man Kitchen: Musakka: Eggplant Moussaka the Turkish Way
Apr 29, 2022 | Musakka is an eggplant-based (sometimes potato-based) dish, often containing ground lamb or beef and is common in the Middle East, Balkans and, of course, Turkey, with many local and regional variations.
While many versions, especially the Greek one, Moussaka, has a top layer made of béchamel sauce, Turkish musakka consists of sliced and fried eggplant served in a tomato-based meat sauce, warm or at room temperature. This dish is a classic in traditional Turkish cuisine and pair with it rice and yogurt (or better cacık). That's an addictive combination.

Fluppe, Filter und f6* - Die Zigarettenstory von Dresden | Reupload
Mar 11, 2017 | "In den Schützengräben rauchen nicht nur die Gewehre, sondern auch die Soldaten: Von Türken und Russen schauen sich in den Kriegen des 19. Jahrhunderts Westeuropas Männer das Zigarette-Paffen ab. Und weil Dresden über die Elbe mit dem Meer und durch die Schiene via Balkan mit dem Orient vernetzt ist, wird die barocke Residenz ab 1862 zur unumstritten führenden Tabakstadt im Deutschen Reich: Rund 1500 Fluppen dreht eine Facharbeiterin seinerzeit von Hand an einem Tag!
Dann kommen die Zigaretten-Maschinen. Bis zu 70 Dresdner Firmen produzieren in der Hohezeit vor dem ersten Weltkrieg Millionen Glimmstengel: Zwei Drittel aller in Deutschland gerauchten Fluppen stammen von hier, ebenso die Erfindung der modernen Filterzigarette. Ein Viertel aller Dresdner lebt von der Zigarette. Die Branche gönnt sich repräsentative Industriebauten wie den Stadtspeicher (heute ein Fünf-Sternehotel) oder die sogenannte Tabakmoschee ""Yenidze"" - beide in der damals ultramodernen Stahlbeton-Skelettbauweise ausgeführt.
Nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg werden die Reste der Dresdner Zigaretten-Industrie in Volkseigentum überführt. Ein Hintergrund, den die DEFA im verwegenen Lustspiel ""Karbid und Sauerampfer"" mit Erwin Geschonneck zum Kinohit münzt. Ebenso abenteuerlich gerät die Beschaffung des Rohtabaks zwischen Brasilien und Brandenburg.

James O'Brien's Evisceration of Boris Johnson | LBC
"Sicherheit ist mehr als Militär und Diplomatie": So will die Ampel die Sicherheit erhöhen
Jun 15, 2023 | Nach langen internen Diskussionen hat die Bundesregierung erstmals eine Nationale Sicherheitsstrategie für Deutschland beschlossen. Es gehe nicht nur um Verteidigungspolitik, sondern "um die ganze Palette unserer Sicherheit", so Bundeskanzler Scholz. Die Strategie setzt auch auf eine Stärkung der Bundeswehr durch dauerhaft höhere Verteidigungsausgaben: Bereits im kommenden Jahr will Deutschland das Zwei-Prozent-Ziel der Nato erfüllen.
Bundesaußenministerin Annalena Baerbock (Grüne) erklärt im ZDF-Interview, "die größte Gefahr für unseren Frieden und unsere Freiheit in Europa" sei seit dem 24. Februar im vergangenen Jahr das russische Regime. Daher habe man auch im Rahmen der nationalen Sicherheitsstrategie Dinge anders formuliert. Mit Blick auf Rüstungsprojekten und Militärausgaben sagte Baerbock: "Wir müssen jetzt dringend neue Anschaffungen machen." Bei der Bundeswehr könne man bei diesem Haushalt nicht kürzen. Gleichzeitig macht die Bundesaußenministerin klar, dass Sicherheit mehr sei als "Militär und Diplomatie". Es geht bei der nationalen Sicherheitsstrategie um einen "integrierten ganzheitlichen Ansatz", das impliziere auch Cybersicherheit, Gesundheitssicherheit, Lebensmittelsicherheit.

In a statement, her agent, Lionel Larner, said: “Glenda Jackson, two-time Academy Award-winning actress and politician, died peacefully at her home in Blackheath, London, this morning after a brief illness with her family at her side.”
Jackson bestrode the narrow worlds of stage and screen like a colossus over six decades. Though such a Shakespearean tribute would undoubtedly have had the famously curmudgeonly actor reaching for her familiar catchphrase: “Oh, come on.

The Radical Strategy Behind Trump’s Promise to ‘Go After’ Biden
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Conservatives with close ties to Donald J. Trump are laying out a “paradigm-shifting” legal rationale to erase the Justice Department’s independence from the president.
When Donald J. Trump responded to his latest indictment by promising to appoint a special prosecutor if he’s re-elected to “go after” President Biden and his family, he signaled that a second Trump term would fully jettison the post-Watergate norm of Justice Department independence.
“I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America, Joe Biden, and the entire Biden crime family,” Mr. Trump said at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J., on Tuesday night after his arraignment earlier that day in Miami. “I will totally obliterate the Deep State.” » | Jonathan Swan, Charlie Savage and Maggie Haberman | Thursday, June 15, 2023

Irlands geraubte Kinder | ARTE Re:
Jun 15, 2023 |
Unverheiratet schwanger zu sein, das galt im erzkatholischen Irland lange als Schande. Bis 1998 wurden mehr als 50.000 irischen Frauen in sogenannten Mutter-und-Baby-Heimen ihre Kinder weggenommen und zur Adoption freigegeben. Nach Jahren des Schweigens versuchen die Adoptivkinder von damals ihre Mütter wiederzufinden. Sie kämpfen dafür, dass ihr Schicksal endlich anerkannt wird.
In Irland waren Verhütung und Abtreibung lange verboten, Sex vor der Ehe nicht erlaubt und Aufklärung praktisch nicht existent. Bei ungeplanten Schwangerschaften galt die Frau meist als die „Schuldige“, selbst wenn die Schwangerschaft Folge einer Vergewaltigung war. Wer die Schwangerschaft nicht illegal im Ausland beenden wollte oder konnte, hatte im von Kirche und Tradition bestimmten Irland keine Wahl: Der Priester wurde informiert. Und er entschied, ob die Frau verstoßen oder in eines der 18 katholischen Mutter-und-Baby-Heime geschickt wurde. Paul Redmond wurde in einem solchen Heim geboren. Er bezeichnet sich und andere Betroffene als „Überlebende“ eines Skandals, der Irland bis heute erschüttert. Der 59-Jährige sucht immer wieder das heute leerstehende Gebäude auf, in dem er zur Welt gekommen ist. Er erinnert daran, wie es den Babys dort erging: „Viele wurden vernachlässigt, im Bettchen liegen gelassen und selten gewickelt. Vor allem die Kinder, die eine Behinderung hatten oder eine andere Hautfarbe.” Die Folgen waren schrecklich. Im kleinen Ort Tuam im Westen Irlands fand die Lokalhistorikerin Catherine Corless heraus, dass im dortigen Heim die Leichen von fast 800 Babies und Kindern in einem geheimen Massengrab versteckt wurden. Sie hat damit die nationale Aufbereitung des Skandals erst ins Rollen gebracht. Heute setzt sich die 68-Jährige für die Exhumierung der menschlichen Überreste ein. Dafür kämpft auch Anna Corrigan. Sie fand heraus, dass sie zwei Brüder hat, die in dem Heim in Tuam geboren wurden. Für ihren Bruder John gibt es eine Sterbeurkunde, doch was mit William passierte, ist unklar. Eine Exhumierung und DNA-Tests könnten Klarheit schaffen. Anna ist noch immer auf Spurensuche. Sie hat die Hoffnung nicht aufgegeben, dass ihr Bruder William vielleicht noch am Leben ist.

Johnson, Sunak and Brexit: A Trio from Hell
Jun 14, 2023 | In this new Federal Trust video, John Stevens and Brendan Donnelly discuss the disruptive and divisive consequences of Brexit for the Conservative Party. This division is now crystallised in the personal and political conflict between Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson. At present Johnson seems largely motivated by personal resentments. It may be however that in the coming months Johnson will ally himself with political forces hostile to Sunak such as Farage, Fox and Tice. This could lead to a disastrous outcome for the Conservative Party in the next General Election.

Die dunkle Vergangenheit der Sklaverei überschattet das britische Königshaus | auslandsjournal
Jun 14, 2023 | King Charles III. sitzt noch kein Jahr auf dem Thron und doch bröckelt der Mythos der Monarchie – zumindest bei den Erben des Empire. Kann der neue König Reich und Commonwealth zusammenhalten?
Nach Barbados will auch Jamaika den britischen Monarchen als Staatsoberhaupt absetzen. In Australien wird heftig über die Zukunft unter der Krone debattiert, und eine junge Generation fordert Entschädigung für das Erbe des Kolonialismus.
In Afrika wächst dagegen die Zustimmung zur Monarchie. Ruanda ist das jüngste Mitglied im Kreise des Commonwealth und Großbritannien eng verbunden. Die Pläne, Migrantinnen und Migranten aus Afrika nach Ruanda abzuschieben, haben in Europa für einen Aufschrei gesorgt. Eine Kooperation, von der Großbritannien deutlich profitieren kann.
Im Vereinigten Königreich sinkt die Zustimmung zur Monarchie, vor allem in Schottland, Wales und Nordirland. Der Kitt, den Queen Elizabeth II. ihrem Reich über Jahrzehnte verliehen hatte, verschwindet. Wachsende nationalistische Strömungen überlagern die Monarchie-Debatte seit dem Brexit zusätzlich.
Noch ist der britische Monarch Staatsoberhaupt von 15 Ländern, aber mit dem Tod der Queen scheint auch das stärkste Band geschwächt, das die Einheit von Königreich und Commonwealth sicherte. Charles III. muss das Vertrauen in seine Person und die Institution erst gewinnen. Wo steht das Vereinigte Königreich zu Beginn der Herrschaft des neuen Königs?
In ihrer Dokumentation "auslandsjournal – die doku: König ohne Reich? – Charles III. und das Erbe des Empire" zeigt London-Korrespondentin Hilke Petersen die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven in einer aufgeheizten Debatte.
