Turkish Opposition Begins Joining Ranks against Erdogan
THE NEW YORK TIMES: With an eye on elections, six parties are working on a plan to end a powerful presidency and return to a parliamentary system.

ISTANBUL — Turkish opposition parties are presenting an increasingly united and organized front aimed at replacing President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and even forcing early elections in the coming year to challenge his 19-year rule.
As they negotiate a broad alliance among themselves, the leaders of six opposition parties appear to have agreed on turning the next election into a kind of referendum on the presidential system that Mr. Erdogan introduced four years ago and considers one of his proudest achievements.
His opponents say that presidential system has allowed Mr. Erdogan to concentrate nearly authoritarian power — fueling corruption and allowing him to rule by decree, dictate monetary policy, control the courts and jail tens of thousands of political opponents.
By making the change back to a parliamentary system a centerpiece of its agenda, Mr. Erdogan’s opposition hopes to shift debate to the fundamental question of the deteriorating health of Turkey’s democracy. » | Carlotta Gall | Saturday, October 23, 2021

Éric Zemmour veut rompre avec la doctrine atlantiste
LE FIGARO : À Rouen, l’essayiste a livré un exposé géopolitique offensif à l’égard des États-Unis.
Cinq cent quatre-vingt-dix ans plus tard, l’exécution de la pucelle d’Orléans sur le bûcher n’a visiblement pas été digérée. Dans le cadre de sa tournée de promotion de son dernier livre, La France n’a pas dit son dernier mot , Éric Zemmour a profité d’une étape à Rouen, ville normande où est morte Jeanne d’Arc, pour ébaucher quarante-cinq minutes durant ses vues sur les relations internationales et la défense nationale. Devant les gradins clairsemés - une fois n’est pas coutume - du Zénith de la ville, l’essayiste a dessiné un exposé géopolitique particulièrement offensif à l’égard du monde anglo-saxon.
Contre les Anglais, «nos ennemis depuis mille ans», et tout particulièrement vis-à-vis des États-Unis, face auxquels gouvernements successifs de droite et de gauche seraient coupables de s’être «couchés», assure Éric Zemmour. «Pour nos élites, c’est presque un soulagement: ils se réjouissent que la France se contente d’être sagement une puissance moyenne, à l’ombre des grands (…), ils se trompent lourdement: dans les relations internationales, il n’y a pas de places paisibles pour les seconds rôles.» » | Par Charles Sapin | vendredi 22 octobre 2021

Latin America Has Become an Unlikely Leader in LGBT Rights
QUARTZ: In 2010, Argentina became the first Latin American country to legalize same-sex marriage, largely due to the work of LGBT activists like Esteban Paulon.
Paulon, who didn’t have a partner at the time, saw this movement as a political struggle, rather than a personal one.
“I fought for the law without knowing if I would ever get married or not,” said Paulon, vice president of the Argentine LGBT Federation. “But on the journey to this achievement, I met my partner.”
Paulon and his partner were married three years after the law was passed—turning a national political achievement into a personal milestone they were able to celebrate with their friends and family.
“If the state says that all families are equal before the law and that all families have the same worth, this inevitably has an effect on daily life and on social perception about sexual diversity,” Paulon said. “The fact of being able to access marriage is also personal.”
Since 2010, more than 15,000 same-sex couples have been married in Argentina, the tenth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage. The decision illustrated Latin America’s unlikely leadership in the fight for LGBT equal rights. Indeed, the focus on the US gay rights movement has overshadowed other countries where important gains have been won. Finally, Latin America is being recognized as a major leader in the global LGBT movement by both academics and major global activists groups like Human Rights Watch. » | Anna-Catherine Brigida | Wednesday, June 6, 2018

Angela Merkel fait ses adieux à une Europe fracturée
LE FIGARO : La chancelière a reçu une standing ovation vendredi pour son 107eConseil européen.
Angela Merkel a tourné vendredi une page importante de sa carrière politique. Elle a participé, à Bruxelles, à ce qui devrait être son dernier sommet européen, le 107e depuis 2005. Alors que les négociations s'accélèrent en Allemagne autour du social-démocrate Olaf Scholz et que la prochaine réunion des Vingt-Sept est programmée peu avant Noël, il fallait rendre hommage à la chancelière. Le président du Conseil européen, -Charles Michel, l'a fait vendredi matin.
Les réunions des Vingt-Sept « sans Angela, c'est Rome sans le Vatican, Paris sans la tour Eiffel », a-t-il affirmé. À la surprise générale, Charles Michel a ensuite fait diffuser un message de l'ancien président des États-Unis, Barack Obama. Louant le « sens de l'humour », « le pragmatisme sage » et « la boussole morale constante » de la chancelière, celui-ci s'est dit « heureux d'être devenu votre ami ». Chaudement applaudie par les Vingt-Sept, visiblement émue, Merkel a affirmé éprouver « un sentiment étrange ». « Cela a toujours été très créatif », a ajouté dans sa courte allocution celle qui n'aime rien de plus que ces compromis de la dernière heure dont elle a été si souvent l'artisan en Europe, notamment en juillet 2020, sur le plan de relance européen. » | Par Anne Rovan | vendredi 22 octobre 2021

Gay Afghan Burned by Taliban Says International LGBT+ Community Has ‘Forgot[ten] about Us’
PINK NEWS: A gay man from Afghanistan who was burned by a Taliban member has said he is “shocked” by the lack of support and solidarity shown by the international LGBT+ community.
Sohil – whose surname has been withheld to protect his identity – is a young gay Afghan whose life was thrown into disarray when the Taliban seized power in August.
Afghanistan was never accepting of homosexuality, but he was in contact with a small network of other gay people. Now, they’re all “living in the shadows” – hiding themselves to evade capture and torture by the extremist group.
“Imagine you have all the great hopes for your life, you have everything, and then one day you wake up and everything is gone,” he tells PinkNews. “I lost my university, I lost my life, I lost my community. Even the boys I was in contact with, they are all living in the shadows. They are all hiding themselves.”
His daily life is very different to what it was before the Taliban took over. Sohil says he was just a “normal person” before extremists weaponised his sexuality. He was a medical student who had ambitions to get out of Afghanistan and build a life for himself. Now, he’s been forced to flee his home – he told his family his history of upporting human rights could make him a Taliban target. » | Patrick Kelleher | Friday, October 22, 2021
Der Aufschwung kommt fast zum Erliegen
FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG: Für Fachleute sind es „besorgniserregende“ Signale aus der Wirtschaft im Oktober: Das Wachstum stagniert – und die Preise steigen weiter.
Der Aufschwung der deutschen Wirtschaft ist im Oktober beinahe zum Erliegen gekommen. Das zeigen am Freitag veröffentlichte Umfragedatendaten des Analyseunternehmens IHS Markit. Der aus einer Umfrage unter 800 Industrie- und Dienstleistungsunternehmen errechnete Markit-Einkaufsmanagerindex fiel demnach im Oktober auf 52 Punkte – das waren fast vier Punkte weniger als im Dezember und der niedrigste Wert seit acht Monaten. » | Von Johannes Pennekamp | Freitag, 22.

The Queen Spent Night in Hospital after Cancelling Northern Ireland Visit
THE GUARDIAN: Buckingham Palace says Elizabeth II is now back in Windsor after doctors advised a few days’ rest

The Queen spent Wednesday night in hospital after cancelling a visit to Northern Ireland, Buckingham Palace has said.
The 95-year-old had been due to take part in a two-day trip, but doctors told her that she should rest for a couple of days at Windsor Castle.
However she was then admitted to hospital for “preliminary investigations”. She returned to Windsor on Thursday.
The Queen was seen by specialists at the private King Edward VII’s hospital in central London. Her admittance is understood not to have been related to coronavirus. It was her first overnight stay in hospital since 2013, when she also spent one night at the King Edward VIII, being treated for gastroenteritis.
A palace source said that a “cautious approach” had been taken by the medical team aiding her. They added that the overnight stay was for practical reasons and she was working on Thursday afternoon, undertaking “light duties”. » | Harry Taylor | Thursday, October 21, 2021

Barefoot Contessa: Lemon Chicken Breasts | Food Network
Recipe courtesy of Ina Garten:
Level: Easy | Total: 1 hr | Prep: 15 min | Inactive: 10 min | Cooking time: 35 min | Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
1/4 cup good olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic (9 cloves)
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless chicken breasts, skin on (6 to 8 ounces each)
1 lemon
Directions [Method]:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. [200C]
Warm the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the garlic, and cook for just 1 minute but don't allow the garlic to turn brown. Off the heat, add the white wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt and pour into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish.
Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them skin side up over the sauce. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in 8 wedges and tuck it among the pieces of chicken.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is lightly browned. If the chicken isn't browned enough, put it under the broiler [grill] for 2 minutes. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices.
À Cologne, le chant du muezzin sème le trouble
LE FIGARO : REPORTAGE - La mairie a autorisé les mosquées de la ville à lancer l’appel à la prière le vendredi, une initiative qui divise.
C’est le son lointain et familier des cloches qu’on surprend en se promenant dans le paisible quartier d’Ehrenfeld, probablement celles de l’église baptiste de la Stuppstrasse, toute proche. À ce tintement métallique et rituel, pourrait bientôt se superposer, chaque vendredi, entre midi et 15 heures, l’appel du muezzin à la prière, diffusé par la Mosquée centrale établie à deux pas.
Le même régime est censé s’appliquer à la quinzaine de mosquées que compte la cité rhénane. Ainsi en a décidé Henriette Reker, la maire sans étiquette de la quatrième ville d’Allemagne, au motif que dans une ville aussi diverse que Cologne, les signaux de reconnaissance des deux religions du Livre, chrétienne et musulmane, s’équivaudraient. «Je suis heureuse que nous prenions en compte les intérêts religieux justifiés des nombreux musulmans de notre ville cosmopolite, et que nous nous engagions en faveur de la liberté confessionnelle protégée par la Constitution», a déclaré l’édile le 7 octobre. » | Par Pierre Avril | jeudi 21 octobre 2021

Barbados has elected its first president with just weeks to go until the Caribbean island becomes a republic and ceases to recognise Queen Elizabeth as its head of state.
The island’s governor general, Dame Sandra Mason, was elected almost unanimously by the former British colony’s parliament on Wednesday, with only one member declining to vote.
Mason, a 72-year-old judge and former ambassador, will be sworn in on 30 November, the 55th anniversary of her country’s independence from Britain in 1966.
The prime minister, Mia Mottley, hailed what she called a historic landmark for the island of about 290,000 inhabitants. “How can anyone deny the rightness of the moment?” Mottley said, according to the Barbadian newspaper the Nation. » | Tom Phillips | Thursday, October 21, 2021

UK Covid Cases Keep Rising amid Sluggish Vaccination Drive | DW News
Oct 21, 2021 • UK hospitals are on the brink amid warnings of 100,000 cases a day.
The NHS said "things are only going to get worse" and that "the health service is right at the edge." Despite the gloomy outlook, Health Minister Sajid Javid has resisted calls for restrictions to be reintroduced.
Medical professionals are calling on the UK government to restore social distancing restrictions, as Covid-related hospitalizations and deaths rise to levels not seen in months. England eased most restrictions back in July. The UK had one of the fastest vaccination rollouts in the world - now the government says it's relying on booster shots to protect the most vulnerable.

The Baltic country has one of the highest rates of new Covid cases relative to population in the world, according to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), after successfully keeping the virus at bay for months.
