La Pologne et la Hongrie suspendues aux fonds européens
LE FIGARO : DÉCRYPTAGE - Dans leur bras de fer avec Bruxelles sur l’État de droit, les deux pays risquent gros: des milliards de subventions.
Attendu de pied ferme par un Parlement de Strasbourg très remonté, le premier ministre polonais, Mateusz Morawiecki, devrait l’assurer, ce mardi matin, de sa «loyauté» à l’Union européenne. Après l’arrêt du Tribunal constitutionnel du 7 octobre déclarant la primauté du droit polonais sur celui de l’UE, les eurodéputés pressent la présidente de la Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, de déclencher enfin la procédure «État de droit», qui priverait des précieux subsides communautaires les pays membres qui ne respectent pas les règles. » | Par Florentin Collomp | lundi 18 octobre 2021

Elegant Chinese Jewish Gay Wedding • Michael & Neil
Jul 24, 2020 • Michael & Neil’s wedding weekend was elegant, sophisticated, and truly special. These two grooms are literally from different corners of the globe. Michael is Turkish – Swiss – Russian and wished to include his Jewish traditions into the ceremony. Neil is Chinese from Shanghai and also wanted to represent his culture on their wedding day. Both men wanted to incorporate their families, their heritage, and traditions into the ceremony, which made it all so meaningful and rich.
The dynamic two met when Michael was visiting the hotel that Neil was managing. They quickly locked eyes, and to say the least, hit it off immediately. With many trips across the ocean to see one another, they fell in love while exploring the world together.
Neil proposed in front of Michael’s family at an intimate dinner with a ring that was custom made. Each of their wedding rings held a ruby because red is lucky in Chinese culture. The start of many traditions.

Colin Powell, Who Shaped U.S. National Security, Dies at 84
THE NEW YORK TIMES: A former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, secretary of state and national security adviser, Mr. Powell died on Monday of complications of Covid-19, his family said.

Colin L. Powell, who in four decades of public life served as the nation’s top soldier, diplomat and national security adviser, and whose speech at the United Nations in 2003 helped pave the way for the United States to go to war in Iraq, died on Monday. He was 84.
He died of complications of Covid-19, his family said in a statement. He had been fully vaccinated and was treated at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, his family said.
Mr. Powell was a path breaker serving as the country’s first African American national security adviser, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and secretary of state. Beginning with his 35 years in the Army, Mr. Powell was emblematic of the ability of minorities to use the military as a ladder of opportunity.
His was a classic American success story. Born in Harlem of Jamaican parents, Mr. Powell grew up in the South Bronx and graduated from City College of New York, joining the Army through ROTC. From a young second lieutenant commissioned in the dawn of a newly desegregated Army, Mr. Powell served two decorated combat tours in Vietnam. He later was national security adviser to President Ronald Reagan at the end of the Cold War, helping negotiate arms treaties and an era of cooperation with the Soviet president, Mikhail Gorbachev. » | Eric Schmitt | Monday, October 18, 2021

Bank of England Will Have to Act to Curb Inflation, Says Bailey
THE GUARDIAN: Governor signals central bank is preparing to raise interest rates amid surge in energy prices

The governor of the Bank of England has warned it will “have to act” to curb rising inflation, sending a new signal that it is gearing up to raise interest rates.
Andrew Bailey said he continued to believe the recent jump in inflation would be temporary, but he predicted a surge in energy prices would push it higher and make its climb last longer, increasing the risk of higher inflation expectations.
“Monetary policy cannot solve supply-side problems – but it will have to act and must do so if we see a risk, particularly to medium-term inflation and to medium-term inflation expectations,” Bailey said on Sunday during an online panel discussion organised by the Group of 30 consultative group. » | Guardian staff and agency | Monday, October 18, 2021

Paris Allemand, de Dominique Veillon: les visages du Paris de l’Occupation
LE FIGARO : La vie quotidienne dans la capitale sous l’étau allemand à travers récits et témoignages vécus.
Il y a plusieurs livres dans Paris Allemand, de Dominique Veillon, où l’historienne a pour ambition d’«essayer de comprendre les réactions de la population parisienne alors qu’elle est placée dans une situation particulière: sous l’étau allemand, sans gouvernement et en proie à des difficultés de toutes sortes». Les «difficultés de toutes sortes» sont celles auxquelles la plupart d’entre nous, qui ont toujours mangé à leur faim dans des appartements chauffés, n’ont jamais été confrontés. Si certains ont oublié ce qu’a signifié concrètement l’occupation allemande - on se souvient du mot si frivole de Sartre: «On n’a jamais été plus libre que sous l’Occupation» -, la lecture du livre de Dominique Veillon leur sera fort utile. Grâce notamment aux rapports des Renseignements généraux et à des fonds d’archives diverses (Archives nationales, Musée Jean-Moulin, Musée du Général Leclerc…), mais aussi aux journaux et témoignages intimes de personnalités publiques ou privées qui ont vécu cette période, Dominique Veillon dresse le tableau des situations que la population parisienne dut endurer, en particulier durant les terribles hivers 1941 et 1942. » | Par Paul-François Paoli | mercredi 10 février 2021
Zemmour, un «révisionniste» pro-Vichy, fustige Beaune
LE FIGARO : Les propos du candidat non déclaré à la présidentielle de 2022 sont «à vomir», a estimé ce dimanche le secrétaire d'État aux Affaires européenne.
Les propos d'Éric Zemmour réhabilitant le régime de Vichy relèvent du «révisionnisme et de l'antisémitisme traditionnel» et sont «à vomir», a estimé dimanche le secrétaire d'État aux Affaires européenne, Clément Beaune, au Forum de Radio J.
Le polémiste, qui ne cache pas ses ambitions présidentielles, affirme notamment que le maréchal Pétain, chef du régime de Vichy, a sauvé des juifs français. «Eric Zemmour, c'est l'un des visages de ce qui est une longue tradition dans notre pays, l'extrême droite française haineuse antisémite (...) Il (en) est l'un des visages temporaires mais dangereux », a lancé Clément Beaune. «Le mythe du Pétain protecteur des juifs ne résiste pas une seconde à l'analyse historique (...) M. Zemmour se pare de mensonges historiques scandaleux», a ajouté le secrétaire d'État. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | dimanche 17 octobre 2021
The Guardian view on French politics: the great moving right show: The tone of France’s presidential election campaign suggests a society that is becoming increasingly illiberal – Since the election of Emmanuel Macron as president in 2017, it has been tempting to view French politics in somewhat Manichean terms. Four years ago, Mr Macron won by (comfortably) beating Marine Le Pen in the second round runoff. Until this autumn, it seemed extremely likely that next spring’s election would be a rematch. Division and disarray on the French left, and the continuing slump of the centre-right Républicains party, left voters with a seemingly stark choice: centrist liberalism or far-right nationalism. This normalisation of the Le Pen dynasty was bad enough. But recent polls suggest a more complicated picture; and from a progressive standpoint, perhaps a more disturbing one. »
L’armée canadienne décimée par les scandales sexuels
LE FIGARO : Les principaux hauts gradés des Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) font face à des accusations de harcèlement et ont été évincés.
«Une autre allégation d’inconduite sexuelle contre un haut gradé», a titré ce samedi Le Journal de Montréal. L’accusé est le chef du commandement du personnel militaire, Steven Whelan. Ce lieutenant général, également chargé de lutter contre les inconduites sexuelles dans l’armée, a remplacé en milieu d’année un autre militaire soupçonné de harcèlement sexuel. Autre accusé, le futur chef de l’armée de terre, Trevor Cadieu. Il a dû renoncer à sa promotion mercredi dernier. » | Par Ludovic Hirtzmann | dimanche 17 octobre 2021

Délices des Grisons : Les plats typiques des Grisons | ARTE
Oct 10, 2021 • Situé dans les Alpes suisses, le canton des Grisons est surtout connu pour sa viande séchée et ses tartes aux noix. Phénomène rare, une espèce locale de pin, l'arole, aussi appelé pin arve, y est également utilisée en cuisine pour ses qualités aromatiques.
Dans ces montagnes des Alpes suisses, les étés sont courts, il faut donc des légumes résistants, comme les blettes. Leurs grandes feuilles permettent de préparer des roulades dont la farce se décline à l'infini. L’orge pousse aussi dans ces contrées. On l'accommode sous forme de potage avec des cubes de viande des Grisons. Phénomène rare, une espèce locale de pin, l'arole, aussi appelé pin arve, est également utilisée en cuisine pour ses qualités aromatiques. Menuisière et adepte de plats traditionnels, Barbara Schuler-Rozzi le travaille de moult façons : ses copeaux donnent du goût aux glaces quand ses planches composent des lits dans lesquels il fait bon dormir grâce aux subtiles huiles essentielles que le bois exhale.

Another Meaningless Slogan – Low-skill/Low-pay to High-skill/High-pay?
Oct 17, 2021 • To cheers from the audience at the Tory party conference, Boris Johnson announced his plan to transform the UK economy from a low-skill//low-pay to high-skill/high-pay economy.
This is just another meaningless slogan. The UK has no chance of ever becoming a high tech centre to match Silicon Valley or Shenzhen in China. It is far too late. It is right that we should train those who are interested in tech and that we should do everything to develop this sector but, however successful, this will take years and will in no way affect the lives or jobs of the vast majority of the current workforce.
