Le pape François a été pris en charge pour une inflammation du côlon ce dimanche. Âgé de 84 ans, il a subi une opération chirurgicale, a annoncé le Vatican. Le pape a été admis à la polyclinique A. Gemelli de la capitale italienne. Celle-ci a été « programmée pour une sténose diverticulaire symptomatique du côlon », a annoncé un communiqué de presse.
« Le Saint-Père a bien réagi à l’intervention conduite sous anesthésie générale », selon un communiqué du Vatican publié peu avant minuit. Il s’agissait d’une inflammation potentiellement douloureuse des diverticules, hernies ou poches qui se forment sur les parois de l’appareil digestif et dont la fréquence augmente avec l’âge. Une des complications possibles de cette affection est la sténose, c’est-à-dire un rétrécissement de l’intestin. » | Source AFP | dimanche 4 juillet 2021

La Russie s’approprie l’appellation « champagne »
LE MONDE : Les producteurs français devront changer leurs étiquettes pour pouvoir poursuivre leurs exportations.
Vladimir Poutine a donné son feu vert, vendredi 2 juillet, à un amendement de la loi sur la « réglementation des boissons alcoolisées » qui fait réagir en Russie… et en France. Selon ce texte, seuls les producteurs russes auront désormais le droit d’afficher l’appellation « champagne » sur leurs bouteilles. Les vins importés devront, eux, signifier une appellation « vin à bulles ». Cet amendement indique clairement que la législation russe ne tiendra pas compte de la protection de l’appellation française « champagne AOC ». » | Par Paul Gogo (Moscou, correspondance) | lundi 5 juillet 2021

Global Journalist: Gay Rights in the Arab World
Sep 22, 2016 • One of the hardest regions of the globe to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender is the Arab world.
In Saudi Arabia and Yemen, the punishment for the crime of sodomy is death by stoning, and many other countries impose prison sentences.
Also challenging is the fact that the stigma associated with being LGBT is so great, many people feel they can’t come out even to their family or closest friends.
On this edition of Global Journalist, a look at the uncertain lives of LGBT people in Arab nations.
Joining the program:
*Saleem Haddad, the Jordanian-born author of the new novel "Guapa," about the outing of a young gay man in an unnamed Arab country.
*Graeme Reid, director of the LGBT rights program at Human Rights Watch.
*Esra'a Al-Shafei, a Bahraini activist and director of Mideast Youth, network of online platforms that amplify marginalized voices in the region.
*Antoun Issa, a senior editor at the Middle East Institute who has written extensively on LGBT issues in the region.

En Chine, la communauté homosexuelle tente de s'affirmer en dansant
Cuir, perruques et talons hauts. En Chine, les minorités sexuelles se défoulent désormais au rythme du «voguing», une danse inspirée des défilés de mode qui auraient été revus et corrigés par des drag-queens. Pression familiale, sociale et politique, les personnes lesbiennes, gays, bisexuels, transgenres et queers (LGBTQ) peinent à sortir du placard dans un pays qui n'a retiré l'homosexualité du classement des maladies mentales qu'en 2001. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | mercredi 31 mars 2021

The clip, titled #WordsMatter, shows members of the Polish LGBT community reading hateful comments left on posts about equality.
The video comes at the end of pride month against a backdrop of rising discrimination in the country.
Poland's right-wing president Andrzej Duda ran for election last year on a platform condemning LGBT "ideology".
A swathe of towns and regions across the country have passed resolutions declaring themselves "LGBT-free zones" in recent years.
While the resolutions are largely symbolic - they reflect deepening hostility faced by LGBT people nationally and have sparked international condemnation. » | Thursday, July 1, 2021
Matthew Vines: "For the Bible Tells Me So: Hermeneutics and the Debate About LGBTQ Inclusion"
Mar 6, 2020 • One of the most important issues for Christians to understand in our interpretation of the Bible is the role of hermeneutics—not just what the text says, but how we most faithfully understand and apply the text today. In this talk from our Reconcile and Reform conference in Seattle, TRP's Executive Director Matthew Vines explains how the tools non-affirming Christians already use to interpret the Bible can and should be applied to the conversation around LGBTQ inclusion in a way that leads to an affirming conclusion.
This talk was given on November 8, 2019, at Plymouth Church United Church of Christ in Seattle, Washington.

Brazilians Take to Streets to Demand Removal of Jair Bolsonaro
Huge crowds of protesters have returned to the streets of Brazil’s biggest cities to demand the removal of a president they blame for more than half a million coronavirus deaths.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators hit the streets of Rio de Janeiro on Saturday morning as calls for Jair Bolsonaro’s impeachment intensified after allegations that members of his government had sought to illegally profit from the purchase of Covid vaccines.
“The people have awoken,” said Benedita da Silva, a 79-year-old congresswoman and veteran of the Brazilian left, as she joined the rally.
“I’m here because we absolutely have to get this monster out of power and reclaim Brazil,” said Magda Souza, a 64-year-old dissenter, as she marched through downtown Rio with her husband, José Baptisa. “We’re surrounded by barbarism,” Souza added as a police helicopter circled over the throng. » | Tom Phillips in Rio de Janeiro | Saturday, July 3, 2021
