  • Labour vs Conservatives the UK Debate

    21 NOV 2019 · The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn dismissed the Prime Minister's pledge to "get Brexit done" by the end of January as "nonsense" while Mr Johnson suggested his rival was "not fit to lead our country". He just kept saying it. The NHS? “Get Brexit done.” Trust? “Get Brexit done.” Public spending? “Get Brexit done.” By the end the studio audience was groaning and Westminster hacks were claiming he had gone too far, but Boris Johnson knows that most viewers won’t have sat down to watch a whole hour A snap YouGov survey of 1,646 viewers conducted immediately after the debate shows a close split, with 51% of viewers saying that Boris Johnson performed best, once “don’t know” responses were removed, and 49% backing Jeremy Corbyn.

  • Putin Annual Press Conference in Moscow 2018

    23 DEC 2018 · As correspondents in the Kremlin--and Russia-watchers the world over--get ready each December for President Vladimir Putin's end-of-year news conference, there's one question they always ask: how long will it last? Forbes President Putin said he agreed with Trump's decision to pull 2,000 U.S. troops out of northern Syria where they have been helping to fight the Islamic State group extremists because "I don't think they're needed. Let's not forget that the presence of (U.S.) troops there is illegitimate. The U.S. is there without backing from the United Nations or an invitation from the Syrian government. Russia is there at the invitation of the Syrian government. But if the U.S. has decided to withdraw, that's good," he said.USATodayраво задать первый вопрос Путину его пресс-секретарь Дмитрий Песков предоставил старейшему российскому информационному агентству ТАСС, которое в 2019 году отметит 115-летие. На эту тему"Пусть потом не пищат": главные высказывания Владимира Путина о внешней политике Всего из 1700 с небольшим аккредитованных на пресс-конференцию журналистов к президенту смог обратиться лишь каждый тридцатый.

  • Emmanuel Macron and the Yellow Vests (gilets jaunes) Protests

    11 DEC 2018 · Christine Poumailloux, a shopkeeper struggling to make ends meet in this fading industrial town, nourished a deep dislike for Emmanuel Macron as the former investment banker advocated a free-market overhaul of France and then catapulted to the presidency.Finally, a movement emerged to channel her anger: the gilets jaunes, or yellow vests. This month, the 58-year-old mother of two was dodging tear gas and stun grenades in her yellow vest near the Arc de Triomphe in protests that shook the nation.“I’ve never protested before in my life,” Ms. Poumailloux said. “Since Macron is there, the anger has been rising, rising, rising.”WSJ Un « tournant social » du quinquennat ? Pas en mettant le patronat à contribution, en tout cas. Car les mesures annoncées écartent soigneusement toute contribution directe des entreprises. « C’est d’abord l’état d’urgence économique et social que je veux décréter aujourd’hui. » En annonçant que le salaire des travailleurs au Smic augmenterait de « 100 euros par mois dès 2019 », il est loin de se montrer à la hauteur des attentes formulées sur les ronds-points. Emmanuel Macron ne compte en effet pas donner de coup de pouce au Smic comme espéré, mais augmenter la prime d’activité, une aide sociale qui n’alourdira pas la facture pour les employeurs.

  • International Women's Day 2018

    9 MAR 2018 · Women across Spain are taking part in an unprecedented strike aimed at demanding effective equality between men and women. The leading unions said that 5.3 million people had followed the two-hour workplace walkouts throughout the morning.While 170 countries are planning public protests on March 8, International Women’s Day, Spain is the only one to be staging a general strike backed by the unions. International Women’s Day 2018 comes in the midst of a tumultuous time. The current White House administration under Donald Trump continues to attack the rights of workers, women, people of color, immigrants, and other marginalized communities. The first woman appointed to the U.S. cabinet, and the longest person to hold the position of U.S. Secretary of Labor, Frances Perkins, is just such a woman. People's World In the era of #MeToo and Time’s Up, International Women’s Day there was a keen awareness of a major shift in the firmament when it came to gender parity, the treatment of women in the workplace and sexual dynamics.But for most scratching out lives in developing countries in Africa, toiling away at jobs with little pay in Latin America or scrambling to raise children without help in the Middle East — most likely had little time left over to reflect on the day designated to celebrate “the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women,” New York Times

  • America First at the World Economic Forum

    29 JAN 2018 · Dr Klaus Schwab called in a Swiss marching band dating back to the Napoleonic era 214 years ago to serve up a fanfare-like welcome before his speech. The rare, if not unprecedented, performance by the "Landwehr of Fribourg" band at the Davos gathering of academics, executives, officials and other elites drew a puzzled if not hostile reception from some in the capacity crowd of around 1,500 on hand for Trump's highly anticipated address to the WEF on Friday.Wearing feather-tipped hats and long-tailed jackets as part of their red-and-blue uniforms, the 37-member ensemble belted out "The Coburger March" by Michael Hadyn, as Trump stood calmly for the 3-1/2 minute rendition. e Nobel prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, a Davos regular and frequent Trump critic. "Almost anybody who has been coming to Davos as long as I have couldn't help but notice," he said. "I've seen presidents, prime ministers: Never before have I seen the kind of military band that we had today." "You saw him (Trump) preen as the band was there," Stiglitz added. "It was totally inappropriate for this setting. And so, it sort of gives a flavor of an imperial presidency, which is doing well for the one-tenth of one-percent, but not for the vast majority of Americans."
