Trump - Harris, l’enjeu du Wisconsin | ARTE

Oct 28, 2024 | Disponible jusqu'au 23/01/2025

Dans le Wisconsin, "État bascule" ("swing state") et véritable microcosme des États-Unis, des électeurs livrent leurs espoirs et leurs attentes, esquissant le portrait sociologique d’une Amérique morcelée.

Dans la course à l’élection présidentielle américaine, le duel entre Donald Trump et Kamala Harris s’annonce extrêmement serré. Pour départager les deux candidats à la Maison-Blanche, le vote des "États bascule" ("swing states" en anglais) sera déterminant, notamment celui du Wisconsin. Ce n’est donc pas un hasard si les Républicains y ont organisé leur convention, et si Kamala Harris y a prononcé son discours d’investiture. Véritable microcosme de la nation tout entière, le territoire reflète les profondes disparités sociales et politiques qui se sont creusées dans le pays. Si des villes comme Milwaukee et Madison sont acquises aux Démocrates, les territoires ruraux demeurent un bastion des valeurs prônées par les soutiens de Donald Trump. Alors que ce dernier semblait partir favori, le retrait de Joe Biden au profit de sa vice-présidente pourrait changer la donne. À l’approche du scrutin, le réalisateur Tim Boehme parcourt l’État à la rencontre d’habitantes et d’habitants de tous milieux sociaux, entre ville et campagne, brossant le portrait sociologique d’un pays profondément morcelé.

When Paris Was German: German Soldiers in Wartime Paris I Slice History | Full Documentary

Oct 27, 2024 | June 14th 1940, the troops of the Wehrmacht entered Paris. This was the beginning of the occupation of the French capital, which was then relegated to the rank of an open city. The enemy made the law there for more than four years, until August 1944.

Many things have been said and written about the daily life of the French during this very particular period, made of shortages, repressive measures and raids. But never on the side of the occupying forces... What about the German soldiers? How did they live through this period? What were their living conditions like? Did they have any contact with the French population?

Stehen uns dunkle Zeiten bevor?

MARK ALEXANDER: Wir leben wieder in verrückten Zeiten. Es ist, als würden wir uns wieder auf die 1930er Jahre zurückkehren. Immer häufiger wird über Faschismus gesprochen, immer häufiger wird Hitlers Name erwähnt, wieder wird von Massendeportationen gesprochen, und schon wieder wird von der Möglichkeit eines Weltkriegs gesprochen! Man muß wirklich hoffen, daß die Politiker im Westen zur Vernunft zurückkehren, bevor es zu spät ist. Es ist höchste Zeit, daß wir zu einer gemäßigten Politik zurückkehren. Von extremer Politik können wir gar nichts Gutes erwarten, nur Elend und Leid. Anscheinend können wir nur auf bessere und schönere Zeiten hoffen. Was können wir sonst noch tun?

Ex-Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries Pleads Not Guilty to Sex Trafficking

SKY NEWS: Prosecutors say 15 men were induced by "force, fraud and coercion" to engage in drug-fuelled sex parties, in which they were sometimes directed to wear costumes, use sex toys, and consume alcohol and muscle relaxants.

Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and interstate prostitution charges.

The 80-year-old appeared at federal court in Central Islip, on Long Island, New York, to enter his plea.

He is due back in court on 12 December and is free on a $10m (£7.7m) bond.

It is alleged that for years Jeffries, his romantic partner Matthew Smith, and a third man, James Jacobson, lured men into taking part in sex parties by promising modelling for the clothing retailer.

Jacobson, 71, an employee of Jeffries, planned to plead not guilty, his lawyer said before today's hearing. » | Sky News | Friday, October 25, 2024
