LE FIGARO : RÉCIT - Le pianiste Simon Ghraichy et le chef d’orchestre Frédéric Chaslin, qui ont enchaîné les représentations à l’international, sont cités près de 1500 fois dans les dossiers Epstein. Les documents consultés par Le Figaro démontrent une relation fondée sur le mécénat et l’échange de services.
L’affaire Jeffrey Epstein n’en finit plus de délivrer ses secrets. Depuis la récente déclassification par le gouvernement américain de quelque trois millions de documents liés au pédocriminel, la presse internationale découvre, chaque jour, les liens plus ou moins profonds qu’il entretenait avec tout le gotha mondial, des plus influentes personnalités politiques (Bill Clinton, Steve Bannon...) aux plus riches hommes d’affaires de la planète (Bill Gates, Peter Thiel...)
L’entremetteur avait, sans grande surprise, également noué des relations en France, notamment avec l’ancien ministre de la Culture Jack Lang, ainsi que le diplomate Fabrice Aidan, dont les échanges avec le financier américain plongent depuis mardi le Quai d’Orsay dans la tourmente. Deux nouveaux noms français viennent d’être exhumés: celui de Simon Ghraichy, pianiste français salué dès ses débuts par un critique du Wall Street Journal, et Frédéric Chaslin, chef d’orchestre un temps directeur musical de l’Opéra de Rouen puis de l’Orchestre symphonique de Jérusalem. » | Par Steve Tenré | mercredi 11 février 2026

How Trump's World Order Hangs Over Europe | Global News Podcast
Feb 11, 2026 | World leaders are heading for Germany, for the annual Munich Security Conference - one year since the US Vice-President JD Vance delivered a bombshell speech, lambasting European leaders and shaking the old transatlantic alliance.
Since then, the Trump White House has tipped the world order upside down with punitive trade tariffs and an unpredictable approach to countries including Ukraine, Russia, Greenland, Canada, Iran and Venezuela. This year, the conference - which begins on Friday - once again looks set to be decisive.
US Secretary of State and National Security Adviser Marco Rubio leads the US delegation, while more than 50 other world leaders have been invited. It comes as the security of Europe looks increasingly precarious and NATO allies are on edge.
The latest US National Security Strategy called on Europe to "stand on its own feet" and take "primary responsibility for its own defence," adding to fears that the US is largely unwilling to underpin Europe's defence.
The BBC's diplomatic correspondent James Landale takes us through the backdrop of the conference and the current state of the transatlantic alliance.

Smoking: From Cultural Norm to Public Health Crisis | SLICE | Full Documentary
May 3, 2025 | “Smoking kills,” “Smoking harms those around you,” “Smoking causes strong addiction”... A litany of messages punctuating the smoker's daily life who, according to public health campaigns, is a weak-willed individual, harmful to themselves and others. Bans are expanding, methods and therapies abound, tobacco cessation clinics are opening in every hospital. And yet, not long ago, smoking was considered normal behavior — a rite of passage for young people, a sign of self-assertion for men, and emancipation for women.
The dangers of tobacco were known even then, but health and prevention did not hold the prominent place they do today. Why, in just a few decades, has the average person been turned into a patient needing re-education? Has health become our sole horizon, our ultimate utopia?
Some of the nicest people I have ever met have been smokers. Hitler was a non-smoker, and very anti-smoking, so I can confidently conclude that he was no ideal model for the anti-smoing campaigners! Further, Trump is also a non-smoker. He is another, who is no icon for the non-smoking campaigners! Then we have Lenin. He was a militant anti-smoker. All this should tell you all you need to know!
This anti-smoking fervour has caused nothing but loneliness, distress, and paranoia.
In this video, they say that all the focus now is on the body. Yes! And what a mess they are making of it, too! Nothing but ugly tattoos and piercings, here, there, and everywhere! Whilst I am all for encouraging people not to smoke because of the health hazards, I am NOT for coercion. If a person derives pleasure from smoking, and very many people do—I was such a person before quitting—then so be it. I can think of many, far worse, far unhealthier pleasures than smoking a cigarette.
By the way, since people smoke less, their health has not improved. Not at all! Obesity, which was kept under control when more people smoked, is now the cause of many early deaths. Furthermore, cardiovascular disease has shown that it is not in decline.
One more thing: There is nothing more life-enhancing than a little joie de vivre, something which these killjoys totally ignore. Much of the anti-smoking rhetoric is nothing but prejudiced bollocks.
America is the source of so many evil ideas and so much stupidity! And, by the way, as for "passive smoking", it's a load of bullshit! — © Mark Alexander

« Je suis à ton service. Épouse-moi » : ces échanges de mails troublants entre Sarah Ferguson et Jeffrey Epstein
MADAME FIGARO : Plusieurs nouveaux documents juridiques concernant l’affaire Jeffrey Epstein ont été dévoilés ce vendredi 30 janvier. Cette fois, c’est l’ex-épouse du prince Andrew qui est au cœur de l’affaire.
Tandis qu’Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor a été privé de ses derniers titres honorifiques en raison de son implication dans l’affaire Jeffrey Epstein, son ex-épouse Sarah Ferguson est, elle aussi, rattrapée par de nouvelles révélations liées à ce dossier. Pour rappel, l’homme d’affaires, retrouvé mort dans sa cellule en 2019, était accusé de trafic sexuel de mineures et de l’exploitation de jeunes femmes au profit de personnalités puissantes.
Le 30 janvier 2026, le ministère de la Justice américain a rendu publics plus de 3 millions de documents dans le cadre des procédures de transparence liées à l’enquête. Parmi les photos, vidéos et milliers d’échanges de courriels figure ainsi un message datant de 2010 et rédigé par Sarah Ferguson à Jeffrey Epstein, révélé par The Telegraph : « Tu es une légende. Je n’ai pas de mots pour exprimer mon amour et ma gratitude pour ta générosité et ta gentillesse. Je suis à ton service. Épouse-moi. » Une déclaration qui jure avec les prises de parole publiques de la mère des princesses Beatrice et Eugénie. Notamment lors d’une interview accordée à l’Evening Standard, en 2011, dans laquelle elle affirmait « détester la pédophilie et tout abus sexuel sur enfant », rapporte Point de vue. » | Par Léa Mabilon | | lundi 2 février 2026

9 Killed and 25 Injured in Shooting at School and Home in Canada
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The shooting occurred in Tumbler Ridge, a remote community in British Columbia. The police said the suspected shooter died of a self-inflicted injury.
Canada was reeling on Wednesday, a day after a shooter killed nine people and injured 25 others in a remote town in northeastern British Columbia, the third-deadliest shooting in the country’s history that comes amid a wider debate about gun control.
Seven people were found dead in Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, including a person believed to be the shooter, who died from what appeared to be a self-inflicted injury, according to Superintendent Ken Floyd of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Two other people were found dead in a local residence that the police believed to be connected to the shooting.
Another person died while being transported from the school to the hospital, and 25 people suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, the police said in a statement.
Mass killings are rare in Canada, but the attack in Tumbler Ridge, population 2,400, was the second deadly incident in British Columbia in less than a year after a man drove a car into a crowd last April. LIVE UPDATES » Francesca Regalado, Vjosa Isai and Yan Zhuang | Wednesday, February 11, 2026

Iran Tells US Not to Let Netanyahu Thwart Nuclear Talks before Trump Meeting
THE GUARDIAN: Tehran’s intervention comes as the Israeli prime minister heads to a hastily arranged White House encounter
Tehran has told the US not to allow Israel to destroy the chance of reaching an agreement over Iran’s nuclear programme amid speculation that Benjamin Netanyahu intends to use a hastily arranged White House meeting with Donald Trump on Wednesday to divert negotiations.
Iran’s intervention came as the Israeli prime minister flew to Washington to plead with Trump not to negotiate a deal with Tehran if it excludes limiting the country’s ballistic missile programme, dropping its support for proxy forces in the region and curtailing human rights abuses at home.
Netanyahu is deeply concerned that Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, are prepared to strike a deal confined to limiting the scope of Iran’s nuclear programme, which in Israel’s view would do nothing to rein in the long-term threat Tehran poses to the region.
Speaking before leaving for Washington, Netanyahu said he would “present to the president our approach around our principles on the negotiations”. He is expected to provide Trump with fresh intelligence about Iran’s military capabilities, including new long-range ballistic missiles. » | Patrick Wintour, Diplomatic editor | Tuesday.

The Ties That Bound the ‘Prince of Darkness’ of U.K. Politics to Epstein
THE NEW YORK TIMES: For years Peter Mandelson, a senior British politician, concealed the depth of his friendship with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, until new files were released.
When Jeffrey Epstein was still incarcerated at night in a Florida jail for soliciting prostitution from a minor, a close friend emailed with a request to stay at Mr. Epstein’s seven-story, neoclassical mansion on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
“Still OK for Fri-Sat chez vous?” wrote Peter Mandelson, then Britain’s Secretary of State for Business, on June 17, 2009.
Hours later, Mr. Epstein emailed Jes Staley, then a senior executive at JPMorgan, suggesting that he might want to set up a meeting with Mr. Mandelson and Jamie Dimon, the bank’s C.E.O.
“Peter will be staying at 71 st over weekend,” wrote Mr. Epstein, who at the time was allowed after his conviction to leave his cell during the day and work from his office. “Do you want to organize either you, or you and jamie, quietly…up to you.”
These emails are among thousands in the latest tranche of the Epstein files that mention Mr. Mandelson, a veteran British political operative whose ruthless tactics and spin led people to dub him the “Prince of Darkness.”
They reveal a deep friendship between the two men that went far beyond what was publicly known while Mr. Mandelson served in a Labour government from 2008 to 2010, then built a lucrative global consulting business, and eventually returned to public office last year when Prime Minister Keir Starmer made him ambassador to the United States. » | Michael D.

« Dirty Sanchez est un tyran et un traître » : sur X, le projet de régularisation de 500.000 migrants du dirigeant espagnol dans le viseur d’Elon Musk
LE FIGARO : Le patron de Tesla enchaîne les messages virulents contre la politique migratoire de Pedro Sanchez, mais aussi contre ses prises de position sur la régulation des plateformes numériques.
« Dirty Sanchez est un tyran et un traître », a lancé le 3 février Elon Musk à l’encontre du premier ministre socialiste espagnol Pedro Sanchez. Depuis plusieurs jours, les deux hommes se livrent une véritable guerre des mots sur X. Entre l’homme le plus riche du monde, fondateur de Tesla et propriétaire de X, et le président du gouvernement espagnol, le fossé idéologique est profond. D’un côté, la figure emblématique de la Silicon Valley et ses positions libertariennes ; de l’autre, un dirigeant socialiste qui prévoit la régularisation prochaine de 500.000 sans papiers.
Tout commence le 29 janvier, lorsque le gouvernement socialiste espagnol annonce la régularisation de 50 000 migrants. Elon Musk, connu pour ses positions anti-immigration, ne tarde pas à réagir en repartageant un tweet affirmant que cette mesure n’a qu’un seul objectif : « vaincre l’extrême droite ». « La logique est simple : légalisez un demi-million de personnes, accélérez leur accès à la citoyenneté (ce qui ne prend que deux ans pour beaucoup d’entre elles), et vous aurez ainsi importé un bloc électoral massif et loyal, redevable à la gauche », explique la publication, ajoutant que le « masque » de Pedro Sanchez serait tombé. En republiant ce message, Elon Musk se contente d’un laconique « wow » . Une réaction à laquelle Pedro Sanchez ne tardera pas à répondre : « Mars peut attendre, l’humanité non. » » | Par Marie de Montalembert de Cers | mardi 10 février 2026

Das Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs: Schlachtfeld Deutschland | SPIEGEL TV
Apr 5, 2025 | In den ersten Monaten des Jahres 1945 tobt der Zweite Weltkrieg in Europa. Heftige Kämpfe und Bombenangriffe kosten Hunderttausende Menschen das Leben. Im Westen erobern US-Truppen und britische Einheiten Stadt für Stadt, im Osten rückt die Rote Armee immer weiter Richtung Berlin vor.
Millionen Menschen fliehen, oft ohne Ziel. Die unvermeidbare Niederlage Nazi-Deutschlands zeichnet sich deutlich ab, trotzdem ziehen noch Tausende sehr junge und ältere Männer als letztes Aufgebot für Adolf Hitler in den Kampf - die einen aus blindem Fanatismus, die anderen, weil ihnen bei Verweigerung die Todesstrafe droht.
Als alliierte Soldaten die ersten Konzentrationslager erreichen, erahnen sie das Ausmaß des Grauens, den die verbrecherische Naziherrschaft über die Menschen brachte. »Das Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs: Schlachtfeld Deutschland« zeichnet den Kriegsverlauf in den letzten Monaten und Wochen vor der Kapitulation Deutschlands nach. Als alles bereits verloren war, aber immer noch gekämpft und gestorben wurde.

James Carville: Trump is About to Get the Ass-Whippin' of His Life
Bring on the “ass-whippin”, Mr Carville! I, for one, cannot wait to observe it! I am sure I am not alone; in fact. I know I am not alone. I know of no sane person who can tolerate Trump, still less anyone who likes him! I am waiting for the day when I can uncork a bottle of champagne to celebrate his humiliation and demise. Better still, strip him of his stolen assets and send him to his favourite concentration camp in El Salvador, where he can end his sad, pathetic days. Ooh! And don’t forget to shave off his peroxide-blond locks before he enters the concentration camp! — © Mark Alexander

Kuba steht still: Treibstoffkrise legt Verkehr, Kliniken und Alltag lahm
BERLINER ZEITUNG: Ausbleibende Öllieferungen und verschärfter US-Druck treiben Kuba in eine historische Krise. Nach Jahren der Knappheit geraten Stromversorgung, Nahverkehr und Gesundheitswesen an ihre Grenzen.
Kuba steckt in einer sich dramatisch zuspitzenden Energie- und Versorgungskrise. Auslöser ist vor allem der wachsende Druck der Vereinigten Staaten, der die Insel weitgehend von Öllieferungen aus dem Ausland abgeschnitten hat. Besonders der Ausfall von Lieferungen aus Venezuela hat dazu geführt, dass es an Treibstoff für Stromerzeugung, Transport und Industrie fehlt.
Die Regierung in Havanna reagiert mit landesweiten Rationierungen: Gesundheitsversorgung, Nahverkehr und Bildungsangebote werden eingeschränkt, selbst der internationale Flugverkehr ist betroffen. Andere mögliche Lieferanten sind bislang kaum eingesprungen. Algerien und Russland liefern seit dem vergangenen Jahr keine nennenswerten Mengen mehr. Damit verschärft sich eine ohnehin historische Krise weiter – das Leben der Bevölkerung, seit Jahren von Mangel geprägt, wird von Woche zu Woche spürbar bedrohlicher. » | Alexander Schmalz | Dienstag, 10.

Queer (2024): Is He Queer?
FYI: Quite by chance and co-incidence, this film is being broadcast tonight at 11pm on BBC 2. I also believe that shortly after that, it will be available for viewing on the BBC iPlayer. I shall be watching it. It should be extremely enjoyable to watch. Luca Guadagnino is a superb film director. He also directed the film, Call Me By Your Name, which was truly superb. One of the best movies I have ever seen. So this film should be great, too. — Mark

Irish Man Held in ICE Detention Says He Fears for His Life and Asks Ireland for Help
THE GUARDIAN: Seamus Culleton describes conditions as ‘torture’ as he pleads with taoiseach to raise his case with Donald Trump
An Irish man who has been held by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement for five months despite having a valid work permit and no criminal record says he fears for his life and has appealed for help from Ireland’s government.
Seamus Culleton said conditions at his detention centre in Texas were akin to “torture” and that the atmosphere was volatile. “I’m not in fear of the other inmates. I’m afraid of the staff. They’re capable of anything.”
Speaking from the El Paso facility to Ireland’s RTÉ radio, Culleton implored the taoiseach, Micheál Martin, to raise his case with Donald Trump when he visits the White House next month for St Patrick’s Day celebrations.
“Just try to get me out of here and do all you can, please. It’s an absolute torture, psychological and physical torture,” Culleton said, adding he did not know how much more he could take. “It’s just a horrible, horrible, horrible place.” » | Rory Carroll, Ireland correspondent | Tuesday, February 10, 2026

Nigel Farage Attacks Labour over Smoking Ban Proposal
Aug 29, 2024 | Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has criticised Sir Keir Starmer's potential plan to ban smoking outside pubs whilst enjoying a pint and smoking a cigarette outside the Westminster Arms pub in Westminster.
Sir Keir has said the Government will 'take decisions' on a potential outdoor smoking ban in an effort to curb preventable deaths and alleviate pressures on the NHS.
I know that this video is a little old now, but the problem of UK smoking bans has not gone away.
Regular visitors to this website will know that I am NO FAN of Nigel Farage; in fact, he is my bête noire, mainly because of his anti-EU stance and his dragging of this country out of the European Union, thus causing the nation to be impoverished and UK citizens to be robbed of many rights. So, seeing me post something positive about him will come as a bit of a surprise to many, I feel sure. However, I like to be fair to all, and on the smoking ban, Nigel Farage is absolutely correct. Even though I am no longer a smoker—I haven’t been a smoker for nearly four years, now—I am four square against any smoking bans. And for many important reasons. These are some important ones…
1. I loathe and despise bans of any kind: they go against my love of freedom and my devotion and commitment to libertarianism. The state should not interfere in my right to live my life as I see fit.
2. A generational smoking ban will be totally and utterly unworkable. Moreover, the police has its work cut out already, trying to police the important things—and they are failing to do that half the time—so let us not add more unworkable tasks to their day-to-day list of crimes and misdemeanours which they have to try and deal with.
3. By outlawing cigarette smoking to the young, you are making it more appealing. Anyone who has ever worked with young people should know that nothing is more appealing to the rebellious youth than something, some activity, which is forbidden. The Bible teaches us this from the story of Adam and Eve. If our politicians want to make smoking more desirable and enticing, then all they have to do is ban it!
4. By making cigarette smoking impossible, either through bans or prohibitive pricing, all you do is push our young people—and older people—to other unhealthy activities and pursuits. No politicians of any stripe are ever going to be able to create Utopia. So, what people will do is increasingly turn to drugs—cannabis, ketamine, fentanyl, cocaine, etc—for their kicks. For, be not mistaken… they will seek out their kicks.
Life is replete with risks and unhealthy activities. No politician can eliminate them, and nor should any politician even try to. Let people work hard and then play. This is the only way to ensure a well-functioning, happy and content society. — © Mark Alexander
Sir Keir has said the Government will 'take decisions' on a potential outdoor smoking ban in an effort to curb preventable deaths and alleviate pressures on the NHS.
I know that this video is a little old now, but the problem of UK smoking bans has not gone away.
Regular visitors to this website will know that I am NO FAN of Nigel Farage; in fact, he is my bête noire, mainly because of his anti-EU stance and his dragging of this country out of the European Union, thus causing the nation to be impoverished and UK citizens to be robbed of many rights. So, seeing me post something positive about him will come as a bit of a surprise to many, I feel sure. However, I like to be fair to all, and on the smoking ban, Nigel Farage is absolutely correct. Even though I am no longer a smoker—I haven’t been a smoker for nearly four years, now—I am four square against any smoking bans. And for many important reasons. These are some important ones…
1. I loathe and despise bans of any kind: they go against my love of freedom and my devotion and commitment to libertarianism. The state should not interfere in my right to live my life as I see fit.

Wenig Interesse, kaum Widerstand: Warum Russlands Bevölkerung Putins stärkste Waffe ist
BERLINER ZEITUNG: Das Interesse am Ukraine-Krieg nimmt in Russland ab, doch die Unterstützung bleibt hoch. Lewada-Umfragen zeigen: Politische Apathie stabilisiert Putins Kurs.
Den jüngsten Umfragen des unabhängigen russischen Meinungsforschungsinstitutes Lewada-Zentrum zufolge stagniert das Interesse der russischen Bevölkerung am Kriegsgeschehen in der Ukraine seit dem Höchstwert von 66 Prozent im September 2022 bei rund 50 Prozent. Im Januar 2026 verfolgten nur noch 45 Prozent der Befragten (13 Prozent „sehr aufmerksam“ und 32 Prozent „ziemlich aufmerksam“) das Kriegsgeschehen.
Auch die Unterstützung der sogenannten Spezialmilitäroperation bleibt nach wie vor auf einem hohen Niveau. Demnach befürworten im Januar 76 Prozent der Befragten das Vorgehen der russischen Streitkräfte in der Ukraine; davon 43 Prozent „definitiv ja“ und 33 Prozent „eher ja“. Gleichzeitig bleibt die Zahl derjenigen, die den Kriegshandlungen gegenüber eine ablehnende Haltung zeigen, mit 16 Prozent deutlich unter der 20-Prozent-Marke. Selbst wenn man 8 Prozent der Befragten mit „keiner Antwort“ zu den Kriegsgegnern hinzurechnet, bleibt die Zahl der skeptisch eingestellten Personen unter 25 Prozent. Im Übrigen wurde die höchste Negativstimmung unmittelbar nach dem Ausbruch der Kampfhandlungen Ende Februar 2022 mit 23 Prozent (sowie 9 Prozent „keine Antwort“) gemessen. » | Alexander Dubowy | Dienstag, 10.

Affaire Epstein : « profondément inquiet » pour son frère Andrew, le roi Charles III se dit « prêt à aider » la police
LE FIGARO : Les enquêteurs ont indiqué lundi « examiner » des informations selon lesquelles Andrew aurait transmis en 2010 à Jeffrey Epstein des rapports confidentiels alors qu’il était envoyé spécial au Commerce.
Après huit jours de nouvelles révélations concernant les liens entre Andrew et le pédocriminel Jeffrey Epstein, Charles III et son fils William sont sortis lundi de leur réserve pour exprimer leur préoccupation, le roi se disant même « prêt à aider » la police. Dans un communiqué de Buckingham Palace, le roi, qui avait déjà pris la mesure historique en octobre de déchoir son cadet de ses titres royaux et de le forcer à quitter sa résidence de Windsor, est allé plus loin, semblant accentuer la pression pour qu’Andrew témoigne auprès de la police.
« C’est à Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor de répondre aux allégations spécifiques », souligne le communiqué, « mais si nous sommes sollicités par la police de la Thames Valley (qui couvre le domaine de Windsor, ndlr), nous sommes prêts à la soutenir », indique le palais. La police avait indiqué plus tôt lundi « examiner » des informations selon lesquelles Andrew aurait transmis en 2010 au financier américain des rapports confidentiels alors qu’il était envoyé spécial au commerce international. Ces informations sont venues de nouveaux courriels ayant émergé au cours des dernières 24 heures des millions de documents tirés des dossiers Epstein publiés fin janvier par le ministère américain de la Justice. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | lundi 9 février 2026

Epstein Files Expose Central Europe as a “Hunting Ground” | News in Depth
Feb 6, 2026 | Matthew Day says the new Jeffrey Epstein files show Central and Eastern Europe – especially Poland – served as a recruiting ground, with Warsaw as the operation's travel hub for moving young women abroad.
He explains that Epstein’s team didn’t only use agencies to find women; they also drove through villages looking for girls, often targeting poor or broken homes with promises of money, apartments, or education.
According to witness testimony, this allegedly happened at a shocking scale, sometimes around five underage girls a week in the early 2000s. Day also warns that beyond trafficking, there may be a blackmail angle involving powerful people, which is why governments like Poland are treating this as a national security issue.
His bottom line: there are millions of documents still unseen, key names are redacted, and until everything comes out, real accountability is likely to remain nonexistent.

Die Geschichte Chinas (1/3) | Doku HD Reupload | ARTE
Feb 8, 2026 | Die dreiteilige Doku erzählt anhand außergewöhnlicher Archivbilder von Chinas Aufstieg und Fall im Laufe der Geschichte. Dank der Einordnungen internationaler Historiker:innen entsteht eine völlig neue Perspektive auf 150 Jahre chinesischer Geschichte. Teil 1: China ist den Europäern Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts unheimlich. Das "Reich der Mitte" schottet sich ab ...
Mehr als 2.000 Jahre lang wähnte sich China im Zentrum der Welt, ohne ernstzunehmende Gegner und hermetisch abgeriegelt von Fremden, die allesamt als unbedeutende Barbaren galten. Doch im 19. Jahrhundert sah sich das Reich der Mitte mit der geballten Macht der Europäer konfrontiert. Ein brutaler Schock, der das Land fast vernichtet hätte.
Aber China gab sich nicht geschlagen, sondern interessierte sich zunehmend für neue Ideen aus aller Welt – aus Russland, Deutschland, Japan und den USA – und machte sie sich zunutze.
Von den luxuriösen Kaiserpalästen bis zu den überfüllten Straßen Pekings, von durch Krieg und Hungersnot verwüsteten Landstrichen bis zu den Kreisen der im Exil lebenden chinesischen Intellektuellen erfanden außergewöhnliche Frauen und Männer das Land neu. Wie wurde China in anderthalb Jahrhunderten wieder zu dem, was es zwei Jahrtausende lang war: eine führende Weltmacht? Die dreiteilige Dokumentation sucht nach Antworten.
Die erste Folge beginnt in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts, als China angegriffen wird und begreift, dass es sich neu erfinden muss, um nicht unterzugehen. Rebellenführer, Mandarine und mächtige Frauen kämpfen im Namen von Idealen, die uns heute widersprüchlich erscheinen, indem sie Anschauungen aus der chinesischen Tradition mit Elementen aus dem Christentum, dem Nationalismus oder dem Feminismus verbinden. In diesem halben Jahrhundert steht die Nation am Rande des Abgrunds und versucht einen Weg zu finden, zu überleben. Ohne ihre Identität zu preiszugeben, erfindet sie sich neu.

Maxwell Offers to Speak ‘Fully' about Epstein Files If Pardoned by Trump | ABC NEWS
Feb 9, 2026 | Ghislaine Maxwell, the partner of Jeffrey Esptein, has appeared before a US congressional committee to testify on the White House’s handling of files from an investigation into the late convicted sex trafficker.
Maxwell pleaded the Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate herself, but her lawyer says she is willing to speak ‘fully and honestly’ if US President Donald Trump grants her clemency.
Americas Editor John Lyons says a presidential pardon would risk outraging Trump’s MAGA base, which is already agitated by the administration’s delay in releasing more Epstein files.

Prince Andrew, Epstein, and the Psychology of Entitlement | A Psychiatrist with Andrew Lownie
Feb 6, 2026 | In this episode of Shrinking the World, consultant psychiatrist Dr Raj Persaud is joined by historian and author Andrew Lownie to examine the psychology behind Jeffrey Epstein’s relationships with powerful and influential figures — including Prince Andrew.
Rather than focusing on allegations or sensational detail, this discussion explores the psychological patterns that appear repeatedly in Epstein’s social world: power, entitlement, flattery, transactional relationships, and the erosion of boundaries among elites who are used to access and privilege.

Giovanni Siracusa: Rustic Italian Chicken and Potatoes: Easy One Pan Family Dinner — Pollo alla contadina
Jan 10, 2026 | This is the kind of dish my grandmother used to make for us growing up. It’s a simple, one-pan meal made with real ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen.
My family had a farm in Sicily, which is why we ate this so often. It's called Pollo alla Contadina, which means "Farmer" or "Country-style" chicken.
In the countryside, you ate off the land, and that is exactly what authentic Italian home cooking is all about.
