Hannah Arendt: Eine Jüdin im Pariser Exil | Doku HD | ARTE

Hannah Arendts Positionen zum Jüdisch-Sein, zum Verhältnis Israel-Palästina und zu autoritär-totalitären Systemen scheinen aktueller denn je. Mit dem Biografen Thomas Meyer begibt sich die Dokumentation in die Zeit ihres Pariser Exils. An der Seine legte sie die Grundlagen für ihre späteren Werke, durch die sie Weltgeltung erlangen sollte.

Vor 120 Jahren, am 14. Oktober 1906, wurde Hannah Arendt geboren. Die 1930er Jahre verbrachte die jüdische Publizistin auf der Flucht vor den Nationalsozialisten im Pariser Exil. Dort rettete sie Kindern und Jugendlichen das Leben, indem sie ihnen die Flucht nach Palästina ermöglichte. Arendts Analysen des Antisemitismus, ihre Forderung nach dem Recht, Rechte zu haben, wie auch ihre Auseinandersetzung mit der Assimilation von Juden an die Mehrheitsgesellschaft gründen in diesem Lebensabschnitt. Ebenso bildete sich ihre pro-zionistische Sicht auf die Gründung Israels heraus, die quer zu den Ansichten der rechten Strömung der Bewegung stand.

Die zum Bestseller avancierte Biografie von Thomas Meyer hat Arendts Zeit in Paris erstmals gründlich erforscht. Mit Meyer begibt sichdie Dokumentationzu den Wirkungsstätten der politischen Denkerin - so nach Gurs, einem Internierungslager im Süden Frankreichs. Nach Kriegsbeginn wurden hier auch deutsche Juden interniert, die sich in Frankreich aufhielten. In einem kleinen Zeitfenster wurden manche Häftlinge entlassen, nur knapp entging Arendt so der Deportation nach Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Erst in ihrer neuen Heimat New York erfuhr Hannah Arendt vom Holocaust und verfasste ihre eindrucksvollen Thesen zu totaler Herrschaft als Praxis vollständiger Entmenschlichung. Neben Biograf Thomas Meyer kommen in der filmischen Annährung an diese Jahre ihres Lebens der Philosoph Omri Boehm, die Trägerin des Adorno-Preises und des Hannah-Arendt-Preises für politisches Denken 2025, Seyla Benhabib sowie die französische Arendt-Expertin Martine Leibovici und Marina Touillez zu Wort, deren Darstellung von Arendts Pariser Exil-Umfeld in Frankreich intensiv diskutiert wurde.

Mit dieser Strategie erobern die Rechten Europa

Alice Weidel, Giorgia Meloni, Marine Le Pen: Drei Frauen führen drei der erfolgreichsten rechten Parteien Europas. Parteien, die Frauenrechte einschränken wollen. Und trotzdem werden sie von immer mehr Frauen gewählt. Dahinter steckt eine Strategie, die einen Namen hat: Femonationalismus.

Le Pen hat ihre Partei, den Rassemblement National, "entdämonisiert". Weidel lässt die AfD als Ökonomin im Hosenanzug bürgerlich wirken. Und im Logo von Melonis Fratelli d'Italia brennt bis heute die Flamme der Neofaschisten. Auch auf Social Media sind alle drei erfolgreich: Auf TikTok haben sie Millionen Follower und erreichen junge Menschen, ohne dass ihnen dort ein kritischer Interviewer gegenübersitzt.

Ist es ein Fortschritt, wenn Frauen die Rechte anführen? Oder ändert sich die Politik dadurch nicht, sondern nur ihr Gesicht?

The Christian Right Lost Big in the Elections. Where Does It Go Next?

THE NEW YORK TIMES: The midterm election results were a stinging setback for the movement, setting off a scramble among activists to regroup ahead of the 2028 presidential contest.

The Christian right suffered a crushing defeat in last week’s midterm elections, plunging the movement into frustration and uncertainty as it reels from its biggest losses since reaching new levels of power with President Trump.

Over the last decade, conservative Christians have hitched their ambitions to Mr. Trump’s, defending his leadership to advance their own goals, particularly around abortion. His causes in turn became theirs as they wove themselves into the MAGA coalition and infused its politics into the American church.

Now, his losses are theirs, too. The election results suggest that the movement’s grip inside Mr. Trump’s party has weakened, and religious conservatives are scrambling to regroup ahead of the 2028 presidential contest.

“What does the Christian right have today?” said Terry Schilling, president of American Principles Project, a political advocacy group that has worked to defeat transgender rights measures. “We could have been actually passing laws that would have protected our kids, but instead we got the Iran war.”

Christian activists like Mr. Schilling said the Trump administration gave them few successes over the past two years beyond some executive orders, including one establishing the White House Faith Office and another on “anti-Christian bias.”

“There’s no signature achievement. There’s nothing,” Mr. Schilling said. “We squandered an opportunity.” » | Elizabeth Dias | Elizabeth Dias is the Times’ national religion correspondent and has reported on the Christian right’s political power for more than a decade. | Friday, November 13, 2026

I Wrote Jensen Huang’s Biography. Here’s What Led to His Downfall.

Nikita Teryoshin

OPINION : GUEST ESSAY

THE NEW YORK TIMES: We live in the age of artificial intelligence — an age that Jensen Huang, perhaps more than any other single person, has made possible. The systems we are building with Nvidia’s equipment will transform our society and culture in ways we can’t imagine. But Mr. Huang’s unraveling is not a technology story. It is a timeless tale of masculine hubris, of a man undone by reckless overconfidence. Some things never change.

When I wrote my biography of Mr. Huang, I titled it “The Thinking Machine.” The name referred to the microchips that powered A.I., but also to Mr. Huang’s marauding, relentless intellect, which never slowed down or turned off. In the wake of his stunning departure, spurred by revelations that he carried on at least two affairs, one with a woman whom U.S. intelligence determined is a Chinese spy, and another with one of his direct reports, I should write a sequel: “The What-Were-You-Thinking?! Machine.”

Let’s start with Mr. Huang’s affair with Alice Huang, an executive who managed a Singapore-based company that owns data centers in Southeast Asia. These data centers are suspected of helping Chinese A.I. developers circumvent U.S. restrictions on sales of Nvidia equipment. A recent report in The Information suggests they were used as a way station to illicitly smuggle some $7 billion of equipment into China. Since U.S. intelligence captured evidence of Mr. Huang in a romantic relationship with Ms. Huang, it’s hard to believe that he did not understand what was going on.

Now consider Mr. Huang’s reported involvement with Kimberly Powell, an executive in the health care group at his firm and his direct subordinate. A former Nvidia employee told me this affair was common knowledge in the company — the same company that employs both of Mr. Huang’s children in executive roles. It’s a stunning and disrespectful display of arrogance. I asked the former employee why Mr. Huang would behave this way, right in front of his kids. The former employee said that it got him high — a narcissist’s high. » | Stephen Witt | Mr. Witt is the author of “The Thinking Machine,” a biography of Jensen Huang. | Thursday, November 12, 2026

Microsoft Users Hit by Global Tech Failure

THE TELEGRAPH: Microsoft is grappling with a major global tech blackout, leaving millions of users and businesses unable to access their emails and other programs, including Microsoft 365, Outlook and Teams.

Schools, the NHS, police services and businesses in the UK are all affected by the tech failure, which has dragged on for more than 14 hours since problems began at around 6pm GMT on Thursday.

The service blackout has spread worldwide, affecting Microsoft services in 74 countries and territories, including the UK, the US, Asia and Australia according to website-tracker Downdetector. The tech giant blamed the issue on an “elevated load” on its infrastructure after servers unexpectedly became unavailable, putting more pressure on its remaining systems.

Executives insisted there was “no indication” that the company had been hit with a cyber attack. An update on Friday morning said the recovery efforts were “ongoing”. » | Chris Price | Markets Editor | Friday, November 13, 2026

Boxer on Death Row in Iran Vows ‘Not to Bow Before Oppression’ after Winning Rights Prize

A boxer and political prisoner on death row in Iran said he will “never surrender” as he accepted a prestigious human rights prize on behalf of “the generation that is paying the price of freedom with their lives”.

Mohammad Javad Vafaei Sani, an Iranian boxing champion, coach and political prisoner, has been sentenced to death three times and is one of seven athletes at risk of execution in Iran. He was given the Magnitsky award for outstanding human rights activist at a ceremony in London on Thursday night.

In a written message from Vakilabad prison in north-eastern Iran, he said: “I accept this award in the name of all those who, for the ‘crime’ of aspiring to a free Iran, have been imprisoned, tortured, threatened, or sentenced to death; in the name of my comrades in the resistance units and the generation that is paying the price of freedom with their lives.”

He added: “The regime demands repentance, televised confessions and surrender from us. But our answer is clear: ‘We will never surrender; we will never submit to humiliation.’” » | Sarah Johnson | Friday, November 13, 2026

Clashes Erupt in Spain as Thousands Join General Strike over Living Costs | BBC News

Nov 11, 2026 | Clashes have broken out between groups of masked men and police in Spanish cities, after hundreds of thousands of people took part in Spain's first general strike for 14 years, called by the country's main unions over housing and the high cost of living.

Some 120,000 people joined a demonstration in the capital Madrid and more than 50,000 turned out in Barcelona, where footage showed masked men setting fire to rubbish bins and smashing shop windows as police fired tear gas.

Transport and other public services across Spain faced serious disruption. Spaniards are due to vote in parliamentary elections on 29 November. The head of the big UGT labour union, Pepe Álvarez, said the strike was a success with "massive" participation, while Unai Sordo of the CC OO union said turnout was "very significant."

Earlier in the day there was major disruption in the capital, Madrid. The interior ministry said dozens of people were arrested and Spanish reports said estate agencies had seen attacks on their offices.

Rental prices in the capital have risen in recent years. The monthly cost of an average-sized apartment in Madrid is nearly half the average gross salary.

Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called snap elections last month after parliament failed to approve his plan for housing reform, and has publicly supported the right to strike over the issue. The conservative People's Party (PP), by contrast, has accused the government of attempting to weaponise the strike for electoral gain. Its leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has described the unions as “mafia" and "trash".

Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang Resigns after Second Affair Allegations | BBC News

Nov 12, 2026 | Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of tech giant Nvidia, the company's board says, with chief financial officer Colette Kress appointed interim boss.

The resignation was announced in the wake of affair with suspected Chinese spy, which led to the firm's stocks plunging.

The company's shares have recovered some ground after initially plummeting more than 13% when US markets opened shortly after news of Huang's resignation.

On Sunday, Huang admitted an affair with a woman who was repeatedly from another company and suspected to be a Chinese spy. On Thursday, the New York Times reported that he had a second affair with an executive at his own company.

LE FIGARO : RÉCIT - Le départ contraint de son charismatique fondateur est un véritable bouleversement pour l’entreprise, largement structurée autour de lui, et pour tout l’écosystème qui en est devenu très dépendant.

Le sort du patron de la plus stratégique entreprise technologique du moment s’est scellé autour d’une relation extraconjugale, mais pas celle attendue. Jensen Huang a démissionné jeudi, à la suite d’un conseil d’administration de Nvidia, réuni en urgence dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi. Les événements se sont précipités après la révélation par le New York Times d’une autre liaison qu’a eue Jensen Huang avec une de ses vice-présidentes, Kimberly Powell, chargée de la division santé du groupe, qui travaillait donc sous sa responsabilité directe. Ce « scoop » a précipité la douloureuse décision des 11 membres du conseil d’administration de le faire quitter immédiatement son poste de directeur général. Le fondateur, et seul patron de Nvidia depuis sa création, il y a trente ans, était déjà embourbé depuis plusieurs semaines dans un scandale bien plus grave, lié à sa liaison avec Alice Huang, une ancienne dirigeante de la plateforme de cloud Megaspeed, soupçonnée d’être une espionne chinoise et au cœur d’un trafic illégal de puces IA de la marque vers Pékin. » | Par Ingrid Vergara | jeudi 12 novembre 2026

Women under the Third Reich I Episode 2 : Final Solution I Pure WW2

Nov 12, 2026 | By 1942, the Holocaust had entered its most systematic and murderous phase. Women were not merely passive witnesses to Nazi persecution. Some served in occupation administrations, worked as camp guards, assisted medical units, or supported SS personnel whose work was directly connected to deportation, exploitation, and mass murder.

After the war, a number of women were prosecuted for their involvement in Nazi crimes, but many others escaped serious investigation or punishment. For decades, their participation remained overshadowed by the image of Nazi violence as an almost exclusively male phenomenon. Drawing on historical research and individual cases, this documentary examines the role of women in the machinery of persecution and genocide, and asks why so many of their stories remained hidden for so long.

Title: Women under Hitler's flag
Director: Christiane Ratiney
Production: ARTE France – Hauteville Productions (2022)



TW: This documentary is not at all suitable for people of a sensitive nature. In many parts of the documentary, gruesome and disturbing stories are spoken of and described which might upset many people. It goes without saying that it is definitely not a suitable documentary for minors.

Actually, it is a very interesting and informative documentary, including material I have never seen before. But be warned: its nature is heavy. It shows how brutal, harsh, nasty, and cruel people can be. It shows that civilization is but skin deep! — © Mark Alexander

Afghan Women Told to ‘Go Home’ after de facto Ban on Male Doctors Treating Them

Male doctors have been told not to examine female patients without the presence of a male guardian or mahram. Photograph: Siddiqullah Alizai/AP

THE GUARDIAN: The unofficial Taliban restriction has forced women into desperate and absurd situations as they seek medical help, according to interviews given to the Guardian and Zan Times

Farida*, 37, woke up in excruciating pain one night with a toothache. Over the next few days, the pain intensified. “My teeth had been ruined for years. My molars on both sides of my mouth were severely damaged. I couldn’t sleep at night and could barely eat.”

Farida and her family had returned from Iran earlier this year to live in Herat, a city in western Afghanistan. Like many migrants forced to return, they have struggled to find work and income. In their straitened circumstances, visiting a doctor has become a luxury but the pain forced Farida to a dental clinic in the Bakrabad area of Herat in early July.

Farida already knew her teeth had decayed. The dentist who examined her said that several teeth needed to be taken out and replaced with implants or dentures. The clinic wrote a treatment plan for Farida that required her to make several visits and pay the whole cost of the treatment in advance.

However, during the third session, when the implants were supposed to be fitted, she was told: “We cannot treat you right now. Go home, and we will call you ourselves because a problem has come up.”

Farida went home, but couldn’t eat or drink properly. Two days later, she called the clinic. They said it was no longer possible to complete her treatment. “An order has come from the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice stating that male dentists are no longer allowed to treat female patients. If the situation changes, we will call you.” Three months on, Farida’s treatment remains unfinished. » | Zan Times reporters | Thursday, November 12, 2026

Millions of people across Spain have joined the country’s first general strike in 14 years, setting up picket lines to protest against soaring housing prices before an election in which the far right could be catapulted into power.

At the centre of Wednesday’s nationwide 24-hour stoppage, singularly called for by tenants’ associations and later backed by workers’ unions, is a pushback against Spain’s deepening housing crisis.

Tehran Vows to Strike US Bases in Europe If They Are Used to Attack Iran | BBC News

Nov 11, 2026 | Iran's security chief says Tehran will attack any US military bases, including in Europe, if they are used to launch attacks on Iran.

Mohsen Rezaei also vowed that not even a single particle of enriched nuclear material will be allowed to leave his country, as part of any negotiations to end the war.

The US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, is moved out of his Washington DC home to a military base - with US media reporting it's because of Iran-linked threats to his life.

Meanwhile three men have been charged by the US over what they say are a string of Iran-backed terror plots in Europe and America, including the incident at RAF Fairford.

Same-Sex Relations Decriminalized in Trinidad by a Court in Britain

THE NEW YORK TIMES: The ruling, which could affect similar laws in other British Commonwealth countries, has spotlighted a legal system still intertwined with a former colonial power.

A ruling by a British-based court has invalidated laws criminalizing homosexuality in Trinidad and Tobago, setting a precedent for those challenging similar laws in other nations in the Caribbean and possibly beyond.

The ruling was handed down on Tuesday by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London, which serves as the highest court of appeal for dozens of crown dependencies, overseas territories and former British colonies.

Five British judges unanimously upheld a 2018 decision by a lower court in Trinidad that had found two sections of the Caribbean country’s 1986 law targeting private, consensual same-sex relations to be unconstitutional. An appeals court in Trinidad had reversed the lower-court decision in 2025.

Trinidad’s attorney general had argued that the law preserved traditional family values in the country, and had leaned on a legal mechanism called “savings provisions,” which kept many laws from the British colonial era.

The decision delivered a hard-fought victory to advocates for L.G.B.T.Q. rights in Trinidad. Jason Jones, an L.G.B.T.Q. activist who had been a key plaintiff against the law since 2015, called the ruling a “vindication.” He said it would provide hope to young L.G.B.T.Q. people in his country who are living in fear of legal and societal discrimination.

Still, Mr. Jones noted ruefully, to challenge the colonial-era law, his lawyers had to seek intervention from a court based in Britain — decades after Trinidad gained independence, in 1962.

“We are a colonized people,” he said. “Why are we running to white people in London for our justice?”

Le procès d’une journaliste égyptienne de renom suscite une vague de protestations

LE FIGARO : Un tribunal du Caire a repoussé à la semaine prochaine l’audience consacrée aux poursuites visant Lina Attalah, directrice du principal média indépendant du pays.

Ce n’est pas une victoire, mais un court sursis : les avocats de Lina Attalah, rédactrice en chef de Mada Masr, le principal média d’information indépendant égyptien, ont obtenu lors d’une audience ce mercredi le report de son procès au 18 novembre, afin que soit examinée leur demande de récusation du président du tribunal. Ce dernier est en effet le même que celui qui avait, le 27 octobre, condamné la journaliste à une amende de 3 millions de livres égyptiennes (près de 50.000 euros) et ordonné la fermeture de Mada Masr dans le cadre d’une autre affaire. Les avocats de Lina Attalah font valoir que le juge « s’est déjà forgé une opinion défavorable à l’égard de l’accusée ».

Lors de cette audience fin octobre, le juge avait imposé à la journaliste un avocat pour remplacer l’équipe de huit avocats ayant préparé sa défense. La jeune femme de 43 ans avait ensuite été menée manu militari hors de la salle d’audience avant même d’avoir pu entendre le verdict. « C’était lunaire, raconte son confrère et ami de longue date Sharif Abdel Kouddous. Lina ne causait aucun problème dans la salle, elle est notoirement petite - elle se définit elle-même comme « petite reporter » - et elle a été escortée par des gros bras comme une dangereuse criminelle ».

Lina Attalah fait l’objet d’un nouveau procès après avoir été condamnée en 2024 par contumace à un an de prison… Sans même en avoir été notifiée. C’est lors de l’audience du 27 octobre dernier qu’elle a appris que, deux ans plus tôt, elle avait été reconnue coupable d’avoir dirigé un site d’information sans avoir obtenu de licence et d’avoir « publié de fausses informations » - une accusation habituelle faite aux journalistes dans le pays. En plus de la peine de réclusion, le juge avait requis la fermeture de Mada Masr. » | Par Margaux Benn | mercredi 11 novembre 2026

Why Democrats Must Hold MAGA Accountable | Steve Schmidt

Nov 11, 2026 | One week after the midterms, Republicans have put Jim Jordan in charge of House Republicans and are acting as if they were not swept away by the blue tsunami. Steve Schmidt breaks down why Democrats must hold Donald Trump and MAGA accountable.


How Americans can put up with that nasty, greedy, corrupt, self-serving, egregious, repulsive man to lead them is totally beyond my comprehension. The man has brought chaos to America’s politics—and to the world’s—and it is my fear that the worst is yet to come, more especially because Stephen Miller has been made chief of staff. The incompetent Donald Trump is bringing us closer to World War III by the day. Trump should have been incarcerated long ago for his crimes, but it is still not too late to correct past mistakes. Many of Trump’s henchmen should be put on trial as well! And as for that sh** on the walls of the Oval Office, that naff gilt, it needs to be torn down asap. All that faux gold looks as real as the fake tan smeared all over Trump’s visage! — © Mark Alexander

Cambridge University: The Breakthrough Reversing Heart Attack Damage

Nov 9, 2026 | After a heart attack, up to one billion heart cells can be lost. Unlike most cells in our body, heart cells can’t fix themselves when damaged. This reduces the strength of the heart and can lead to heart failure and ultimately death. Now scientists have developed a treatment that ‘reawakens’ heart muscle cells so they start to divide and help repair damaged muscle following a heart attack.

It has shown promising results in animal trials, and the next step is to refine it and test its safety and effectiveness in humans. This is an exciting step towards a potential curative treatment for heart disease, which could improve the quality of life of millions of people around the world.

This research involved the Department of Pharmacology, Gurdon Institute, QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute and AstraZeneca.

Tory Politician Reacts to Donald Trump's Comments on Not Forgiving Enemies | BBC Politics Live

Former Conservative minister Steve Baker said US President Donald Trump "has had a really poisonous effect on public discourse in the USA and elsewhere."

He was responding to the president's comment that he "hates" his enemies and cannot forgive them.

Presenter Vicki Young was also joined by Labour MP Mary Creagh and Kate Ferguson of The Sun on Sunday.


"American Scoundrel": From Roy Cohn to Stephen Miller, "McCarthyism Lives On," Says Author Kai Bird

Nov 11, 2026 | We speak with historian Kai Bird about American Scoundrel, a new biography of the notorious political fixer Roy Cohn, who rose to fame as chief counsel to Joe McCarthy during the senator's anti-communist campaign, served as a lawyer for the New York mob, and was an influential voice in Republican circles until his death from AIDS-related complications in 1986. His most impactful relationship, however, would prove to be with a young Donald Trump, whom he mentored in business and politics during the 1970s and '80s.

Facing political setbacks during his first term as president, Trump reportedly asked, "Where's my Roy Cohn?" Bird, who co-authored American Scoundrel with his wife Susan Goldmark, says Trump may have found his Cohn in Stephen Miller, the architect of the administration's mass deportation policies who Trump just elevated to chief of staff.

"It's not really a surprise that, cornered and wounded by the recent election results, he reaches out and pulls up Stephen Miller, who's very similar in his willingness to go on the offensive and never back down, and to say outrageous things to try to change the narrative," says Bird.

Vague d’alerte à la bombe : plus de 300 établissements scolaires évacués en Italie, des menaces visent l’Irlande et le Royaume-Uni

LE FIGARO : Le ministre italien de l’Éducation, Giuseppe Valditara, a annoncé, mercredi, que 300 écoles ont été évacuées suite à des alertes à la bombe. Des menaces ont également visé des établissements en Irlande et au Royaume-Uni.

Au moins 300 établissements scolaires en Italie ont été évacués mercredi après avoir reçu le même message d’alerte à la bombe, a indiqué le ministre de l’Éducation. Selon les médias italiens, la première ministre Giorgia Meloni a convoqué une réunion gouvernementale plus tard dans la journée de mercredi après que 312 écoles ont reçu des menaces. « Ces signalements semblent plutôt relever d’une stratégie visant à susciter l’alarme et l’inquiétude », écrit sur les réseaux sociaux la chef du gouvernement italien.

Cette alerte de sécurité survient dans un contexte de préoccupations croissantes en Europe face aux menaces dites de « guerre hybride », qui ont visé des supermarchés, des centres de collecte de sang, le trafic aérien et des chaînes de télévision. » | Par agence Reuters | mercredi 11 novembre 2026
