| 900 separations in a year Posted: 30 Jul 2019 04:31 PM PDT TicToc Tonight | Greetings, TicToc readers! Here's your Tuesday debrief so you can start tomorrow smarter: But first...  U.S. split 900+ families, ACLU says Lawyers for the ACLU filed a motion to block the Trump administration from separating families at the border, alleging officials used a legal loophole to split 911 migrant children from their parents over the past year. In June 2018, a court ordered the U.S. to curb family separations, except in cases where "the adults pose a risk to the child," which the ACLU says the government is exploiting through "highly dubious allegations of unfitness, and errors in identifying bona fide parent-child relationships." The ACLU cited infractions, such as minor traffic violations as reasons for separation. Highly quotable "Deport hate:" Protesters heckled Trump during a speech in Jamestown, Virginia, that was boycotted by black lawmakers. "Gilroy strong:" Hundreds of residents held a vigil to mourn the three victims of the California garlic festival shooting. "Corrupted police:" What Hong Kong protesters chanted during clashes with police after 44 were charged with rioting over the weekend. $ignificant figures 106 million: The number of Capital One credit card holders and applicants in the U.S. and Canada were impacted by a massive data breach. 353 million: How many trees Ethiopians planted in 12 hours to set a world record as part of a reforestation campaign. 75 million: How many YouTube views Bollywood rapper Badshah got on his video "Paagal" in 24 hours, breaking a record set by BTS.  What's good Bridging the divide. Two California professors fitted three fluorescent-pink seesaws to a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border near Juarez and El Paso that lets people on both sides play together.

| China’s troops are moving Posted: 30 Jul 2019 03:11 PM PDT Evening Briefing Low mortgage rates and thriving employment usually mean a strong U.S. housing market. But that's no longer the case. What began in big cities like New York and San Francisco has been radiating inland: Entry-level buyers are fighting over homes that are in short supply, sending prices soaring. American incomes just can't keep pace. —David E. Rovella Here are today's top storiesA Trump administration official said the government is monitoring what it described as Chinese forces congregating at the Hong Kong border. Beijing has blamed the escalating protests there, which began over a controversial extradition law, on America. U.S. stocks fell amid growing speculation that a deal to end the administration's trade war with China remains elusive. President Donald Trump complained China isn't following through on grain purchases. Meanwhile, Apple projected revenue that topped analyst estimates, signaling its optimism about potential sales of coming iPhone models. Trump is defying a federal judge's order by continuing to split up families of migrants seeking asylum in the U.S., the American Civil Liberties Union said. More than 900 children, including babies and toddlers, have been taken from their parents in the past year over parental infractions including minor traffic violations, the civil liberties group said in court papers. Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are likely to keep the gloves on during Tuesday night's Democratic presidential debate. Sears workers who retired after years of toil for the iconic American retailer have been told life insurance plans which once promised thousands of dollars for their families are now worth $135. The world's most expensive warship, a $13 billion U.S. aircraft carrier made by Huntington Ingalls Industries, has a little problem: It can't get the weapons it needs to wage war on deck because most of its new elevators still don't work. What's Luke Kawa thinking? The Bloomberg cross-asset reporter says that while a Fed rate cut Wednesday is priced into the stock market, there's a big variable that's not cooperating: The dollar. Since the central bank cemented expectations of the move, the Dollar Spot Index is up almost 1%. The broader Bloomberg U.S. dollar basket is marginally higher. It's tough to see how a stronger dollar is good for global activity right now. What you'll need to know tomorrow What you'll want to read tonight Jahangir Hajiyev was convicted of looting millions of dollars from a bank in Azerbaijan.

| SPECIAL EDITION: Debate viewing guide; Darcy in Detroit; where to watch; Trump says 'I have no strategy;' Apple earnings; 'Succession' on THR cover Posted: 30 Jul 2019 03:05 PM PDT Welcome to a special EARLY edition! The top half is all about the #DemDebate on CNN. The bottom half has the rest of the day's media and tech news... EXEC SUMMARY: Welcome to a special EARLY edition of the newsletter! The top half is all about the #DemDebate on CNN. The bottom half has the rest of the day's media and tech news, from Apple earnings to a sneak peek at "Succession" season two. We'll be back at our regular time on Wednesday night...
Welcome to Detroit
Oliver Darcy emails: Good afternoon from Detroit! The entire area downtown around the Fox Theatre has been transformed into a CNN-land. There are signs everywhere, an outdoor "game day" set where anchors have been broadcasting since Sunday, and restaurants and bars filled with reporters and staffers preparing for the two-day event. The first debate starts at 8 p.m. ET. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders will be center stage. With opening statements, two hours of debate time, commercials, and closing statements, it will end around 10:30 p.m...
Fast facts
-- If you're not near a TV tonight, you can watch the debate on CNN.com without logging in to a cable provider... Details here...
-- Moderators Jake Tapper, Dana Bash and Don Lemon have been in debate prep for days...
-- Gregory Krieg has a handy list of six things to watch for...
-- There will be no show of hands or one-word, down-the-line questions...
-- CNN says "a candidate who consistently interrupts will have his or her time reduced..."
-- My personal favorite detail: Q's posed by the moderators will appear on the bottom of the screen, so you can tell when candidates aren't answering...
-- Anderson Cooper and Chris Cuomo will anchor CNN's post-debate coverage from the spin room and other locations...
-- Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers are all hosting live editions of their late-night shows to react to the debate...
How many will watch?
The first night of the NBC debate drew about 15 million viewers. The second night drew about 18 million. But those face-offs were the first of the season and they were televised across two broadcast networks and one cable news channel. CNN doesn't have those advantages.
CNN's highest-rated debate in history was the September 2015 GOP debate featuring Donald Trump, when 23 million tuned in. So what's likely this time? Something between 10 and 15 million? My guess was way off for the NBC debate, so I'm not venturing a guess this time...
Fox Theatre: The "natural" venue choice | | Oliver emails: The Fox Theatre looks magnificent. Speaking with reporters here, CNN DC bureau chief Sam Feist called it the "natural choice" for the venue when the city of Detroit was selected to host the second pair of debates. And when you see it, it becomes clear why. I walked in earlier with a group of CNN staffers and I think it is fair to say we were all taken aback at how gorgeous the venue truly is. Built during the Great Depression, you can feel the weight of history as you walk the halls of the Fox Theatre...
What it took to build the stage
Oliver adds some stats: The stage is brand new. It took a team of more than 100 people eight days — and more than 1,000 hours — to assemble the set at the Fox Theatre, CNN's VP of Special Events Kate Lunger told reporters.
There are more than 25 cameras at the location, and 500+ lights in the theater, 40,000 pounds of equipment, and 110 pallets/crates of gear! In fact, Lunger said that there was so much equipment, it took nine 53-foot semi-trucks to haul it all in.
About the format
Oliver writes: Candidates will get to deliver opening and closing statements tonight. Viewers can also expect to see three commercial breaks during the debate. Moderators will try to allow all the candidates to address questions on the major topics, Feist said. After the debate, candidates will likely greet guests in the crowd, and then head over to the spin room...
--> CNN has been asking viewers which questions are most important to them. Feist said that the network has "received topic ideas and questions from people all over the world." That said, there will be no audience Q's...
--> Approximately 3,500 people will be in the audience, including community members, guests from the various campaigns and the DNC...
The top tier versus everyone else
To qualify for the debates, "candidates had to either achieve at least 1% support in three polls from an approved list of pollsters or receive campaign contributions from 65,000 unique donors, including 200 donors each from 20 different states," CNN's Kyle Blaine notes. The bar was purposefully set low for the first debates of the cycle. But it will be set quite a bit higher for the third set of debates, which will be televised by ABC and Univision in September.
And it already feels like voters have made some determinations. "To me," NBC's Benjy Sarlin tweeted, "the biggest and most consistent 2020 polling story is that voters have decided on a manageable top tier and seem to be tuning out virtually everyone else." Poll after poll bears this out...
--> This might make you laugh: Ahead of this week's debates, "we at the Cut have a message for pretty much just about everyone who is currently attempting to try to be president," Kelly Conaboy wrote Tuesday. Here it is: "You can still enjoy a little bit of summer if you drop out right now."
The spin tent
More from Oliver: Fun fact: the spin room is actually a tent that has been erected nearby to accommodate the candidates and reporters. The tent is also serving as the press filing center for journalists. A lot of reporters are also holed up in Hockeytown Cafe, just outside the debate hall...
"One of the most-credentialed debates that CNN has hosted..."
Oliver emails one more: The interest in this debate is huge. CNN DC comms director Lauren Prapatas told me that "this is probably one of the most credentialed debates that CNN has hosted from the press perspective. Prapatas said that CNN has credentialed more than 700 journalists, adding, "There's a lot of interest..."
FOR THE RECORD, PART ONE
-- Josh Barro tweeted: "Still feels like the pundit class has not at all priced in the obvious observation that Joe Biden is by far the most likely Democratic nominee..." (Twitter)
-- CNN's "The Forecast" podcast has relaunched as "The Forecast Fest" with Harry Enten, Kate Bolduan and John Avlon. The first episode is up now... (Apple)
-- Brand new story by Asawin Suebsaeng and Maxwell Tani: "In recent weeks, those close to Donald Trump have noticed him routinely asking media figures, longtime friends, and his political advisers a new, very leading question, often asked in the exact same way: 'What the hell is going on at Fox?'" Trump is questioning the network's loyalty to him... (Beast)
Zucker speaks with WaPo
Sarah Ellison's debate day story for the WaPo: "CNN and Jeff Zucker plot 2020 election coverage and promise things will be different." Two key quotes from the WarnerMedia News and Sports chairman:
-- People attack CNN "because it matters," Zucker told Ellison. "We were the first cable news network, and I think that's why CNN gets its fair share of acclaim and a fair share of criticism. And, you know, that's okay. I mean, I'm totally comfortable with that."
-- What success will look like for Zucker the day after the 2020 election: "I want CNN to be a big and important part of the conversation... I want us to make sure that we're telling the full and complete story so that no one wakes up the day after the election and is surprised by whatever happens."
Scrutinizing Zucker and Harris
Matt Drudge's lead story for much of the day on Tuesday: "CNN BOSS FOR KAMALA?"
That's a wild dramatization, of course, even with the question mark. Drudge linked to this story by McClatchy's David Catanese, who uncovered a 2009 breakfast where Zucker, then the CEO of NBC Universal, feted Kamala Harris, then the District Attorney of San Francisco, and called her a nationally important figure. "Zucker is a powerful friend" for Harris to have, Catanese wrote. CNN spokeswoman Allison Gollust, however, described the relationship quite differently: "He has seen her a handful of times in the last 10 years, all in his capacity as a journalist. His relationship with the senator is no different than any other national politician, and he has never endorsed her, or anyone, in any capacity." Here is Catanese's full story...
Meet Jaden Jefferson
What were you doing when you were 11 years old? Jaden of Jaden Reports is on the campaign trail. He was the star of the Elizabeth Warren reporter gaggle in Toledo on Monday: | | "Guys, Jaden has a lesson for all of us reporters: Keep your questions short and simple. He killed it," CNN's MJ Lee wrote. "His dream is to be a TV reporter and he's doing a great job."
Warren talked with Jared one-on-one after the gaggle. Jaden also sat down with CNN's Brooke Baldwin to talk about the Warren interview and his journalism ambitions. He even tossed to break at the end of the segment and crushed it. Baldwin offered to let him anchor the next hour. Watch!

Trump's race baiting has newsrooms talking
Brian Lowry writes: This was an interesting exchange of tweets from Lawrence O'Donnell and Jay Rosen on whether the press is fully prepared to cover a campaign steeped in the kind of racial animus that has been raised by Trump over the last few weeks. It dovetails with a must-read thread by Wesley Lowery about the role African-American journalists are playing in terms of pressuring their news organizations to "directly address" the issue. Lowery was following up on this story by Politico's Michael Calderone...
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Errin Haines Whack, national writer for The AP covering race, ethnicity and the 2020 election, in a tweet:
"Writing about race is an expertise just like covering politics. This moment demands a working knowledge of the racial and political history of our country so that we may all live up to our highest calling: Leaving behind the most accurate and truthful first draft of history."
Trump on Cummings attacks: "I have no strategy"
Remember this the next time someone claims that Trump is playing 3D or 4D chess...
"There's no strategy. I have no strategy. There's zero strategy," Trump told reporters on Tuesday. "All it is is I'm pointing out facts." He then resumed his false and fiery accusations against Elijah Cummings, showing his continued resentment of Cummings' work on the House Oversight Committee.
 In both his morning and afternoon comments to reporters, Trump's claims dovetailed almost exactly with recent Fox News segments. He said "people living in Baltimore are very happy that I'm bringing out the fact that it's like living in hell." How does he know? "You see it watching television." Sounds like he was watching conservative commentator Lawrence Jones' segments. He interviewed residents who blasted local leaders and went easy on Trump.
Elsewhere, reporters have been hearing very different things:
NYT: "Baltimore to Trump: You Lost Your Authority to Criticize."
The AP: "Baltimore-area district pushes back against Trump comments"
WaPo video: "'We are human': Residents react to Trump's attacks on Baltimore"
Daniel Dale's fact-check
This headline led the CNN.com home page on Tuesday afternoon: "No, African Americans are not happy with Trump." Dale has the evidence here...
Scarborough, Trump and "Moscow Mitch"
Joe Scarborough is keeping up his "Moscow Mitch" criticism, one day after Mitch McConnell condemned the "modern-day McCarthyism." Trump joined the fray on Tuesday morning by calling Scarborough's wife Mika Brzezinski "psycho" and saying their show has "lost all of its juice." Scarborough responded with three points to Trump:
"1. Stop being a bigot."
"2. Tell #MoscowMitch that your intel chiefs all said Russia was trying to undermine US democracy."
"3. #MoscowMitch's attempts to protect Putin's schemes are un-American."
IN OTHER NEWS...
Apple's story: iPhone revenue down, services revenue up
Apple shares are up 4% in after-hour trading on the heels of an earnings beat. But the earnings report showed signs of weakness for the company. Seth Fiegerman's main takeaway: "iPhone sales for the quarter fell to about $26 billion in the three months ending in June, a decline of nearly 12% from the same period a year earlier. Despite this decline, Apple's managed to grow its overall revenue by a slight 1% from the prior year as the company finds more traction selling digital services to customers, including Apple Pay and Apple Music. The Services segment, as Apple calls it, hit nearly $11.5 billion in sales for the quarter." Read on...
--> NYT's Jack Nicas with the big picture: "Apple has long performed like clockwork, growing steadily and producing an ever-growing stream of profit. Not anymore."
FOR THE RECORD, PART THREE
-- Facebook is getting closer to letting you type with your mind, Rachel Metz reports... (CNN Business)
-- Snapchat has launched what it calls its "first global, paid media campaign," with billboards, TV ads, social ads, etc... (AdWeek)

Stankey talks about Warner's challenge
Last night I previewed Variety's new cover package about WarnerMedia (CNN's parent company) and Warner Bros. studio. Here's the cover story about CEO John Stankey and his relationships with top talent... Two key quotes from him:
-- "If you're going to be relevant in entertainment distribution moving forward, you're going to have to have a scaled product that gets into the most households. There's a tremendous amount of urgency around [HBO Max]. It's good for AT&T overall that the world is moving to direct relationships with customers. That's not foreign to AT&T's business."
-- "I do not lose sleep at night worrying about our creative direction around here. Our challenge will be getting that great creative strength and marrying it with great technology and the ability to manage customer life cycles. If we can get that three-legged stool working, then we're unstoppable."
Sarnoff speaks
Variety's Cynthia Littleton also spoke with Ann Sarnoff, who takes over as CEO of Warner Bros. in late August. Staffers at the studio are "looking for leadership," Sarnoff said. "I got a sense of extreme optimism and a readiness to lean in and figure out what the strategy is going forward." More...
| | Hollywood's PR and marketing mega-merger
"Hollywood's two biggest public relations agencies announced a merger on Tuesday, creating a combined firm with more than 500 clients as competition from boutique publicity agencies intensifies," the NYT's Brooks Barnes wrote.
-- The companies, Rogers & Cowan and PMK-BNC, "are already owned by publicly traded marketing giant IPG, but have operated separately in the competitive landscape of show business representation," the LAT's Ryan Faughnder wrote. By combining, the firms will be able to save costs and enjoy increased clout in entertainment and sports..."
-- Leadership: Cindi Berger will be chairman of the new entity. Mark Owens will be the CEO. Alan Nierob will be chairman of the entertainment division...
"The Lion King" is another billion dollar film for Disney
Frank Pallotta emails: Disney announced that the photo-realistic remake of "The Lion King" will hit $1 billion dollar at the worldwide box office on Tuesday -- the 19th day of its release. It is the studio's fourth film to cross the billion-dollar mark this year, but it won't be the last. "Toy Story 4" is hovering around $920 million and "Frozen 2" and "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" are scheduled for release later this year.
FOR THE RECORD, PART FIVE

-- "After resisting the streaming trend for years, Tool is finally caving in and releasing their entire catalog for digital distribution," Allen Kim reports... (CNN)
-- "Hollywood has begun to recognize Quibi as a deep-pocketed new home for a certain kind of project," Natalie Jarvey writes... (THR)
At this year's Global Citizen Festival...
...Queen will perform, with Adam Lambert on vocals. "Alicia Keys, Pharrell Williams, OneRepublic, H.E.R. and Carole King will also headline the event, which highlights Global Citizen's mission of ending poverty," CNN's Maddie Burakoff and Saeed Ahmed report. The festival will be held September 28 in Central Park... MSNBC has the TV rights again this year...
What made "Jane the Virgin" special
Brian Lowry writes: My full review will come after, but a quick note in advance of Wednesday's "Jane the Virgin" finale, which provides a near-perfect capper to a series that probably hasn't received all the accolades it deserves because it airs on the CW network. Setting up the finish, The Ringer's Alison Herman points out that the show is "unabashedly female" in its spirit, while running counter to many of the tropes associated with prestige TV...

| Here’s how, someday, your bank may pay you to take a mortgage Posted: 30 Jul 2019 02:06 PM PDT | The machine that has been pushing up house prices for decades ― that has made Canadians accustomed to the idea that “house prices always go up” ― is out of juice. In Canada, where it provides Mastercard credit cards for Costco Wholesale’s Canadian retail network, Capital One said approximately one million Social Insurance Numbers were compromised in this incident. The spending through the first three months of the federal fiscal year marks an increase of nearly 21 per cent compared to the same stretch in 2018 to pay for various government advertising.

| Dem debate prep: It’s do-or-die time for the stragglers Posted: 30 Jul 2019 01:47 PM PDT Bloomberg Opinion Today Today's Agenda  Democrats, Assemble! Because America could not get enough of the sweaty speed-dating experience of the first round of Democratic presidential debates, we're doing it all over again. In tonight's opener, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren will headline, Pete Buttigieg will make another push for the top tier, Beto O'Rourke will try to figure out what it is that he does, and Marianne Williamson will taste colors. Five other people will also be there. For those replacement-level candidates, this is probably do-or-die time, Jonathan Bernstein writes. The next round of debates won't be until September and will be much more exclusive, meaning the Bullocks and Hickenloopers of the world will soon start dropping like Swalwells. With two dozen candidates, it can be confusing keeping track of where they all stand on the issues. Of course, there aren't many "issues" people care about any more, but health care sure is one of them. That's why we all owe a debt of gratitude to Max Nisen and Elaine He for putting together a slick, super-helpful, interactive data visualization of where all the Democrats come down on health care. Whether you're looking for a candidate who shares your values or just want to know whom to call a "socialist" on Twitter, this is the dataviz for you. Further 2020 Reading: Tom Steyer keeps demonstrating why amateurs aren't so great at politics. – Jonathan Bernstein The Energy Times They Are A-Changing If oil had a patron saint, it would probably be T. Boone Pickens. The son of an oilman, he made his fortune in the stuff and then became a household name buying and selling companies that produced it. So it says a lot that he's getting into wind and solar. Just last year, his investment firm launched an ETF meant to cash in on rising oil prices, with the ticker symbol BOON. But BOON never really BOONed, and now Pickens is shifting the fund's focus to renewables, ticker symbol RENW. This is partly about oil companies not being especially thrifty with any BOON of rising oil prices, notes Liam Denning. But it also marks a paradigm shift, in which not even Persian Gulf tensions can boost oil much in a world swimming in the stuff and looking for cleaner alternatives. That even somebody like Pickens – who has profited from oil basically since the day he was born in 1928 – recognizes this highlights just how out-of-touch President Donald Trump's energy stance is. To him, coal is clean and climate change is a Chinese hoax. In keeping with this worldview, he's trying to roll back the clock on Obama-era fuel-efficiency standards. But several automakers just signed a deal with California agreeing to clear a much higher bar. Why would they do this? For one thing, David Fickling notes, California is an enormous car market. For another, Trump's efficiency standards are far behind the rest of the world's, and automakers these days don't want to bother building different cars for different markets. Energy is getting cleaner, whether Trump likes it or not. Further Climate-Denial Reading: The U.S. isn't paying enough attention to the strategic threat of a thawing Arctic. – Hal Brands Forecasting the Fed Though Trump today demanded a "large cut" from the Federal Reserve tomorrow, central bankers will probably only deliver a small one. In fact, despite (or perhaps partly because of) Trump's hollering, the case for any rate cut at all has gotten much iffier lately, as economic data have improved, notes Bill Dudley. Tomorrow's small cut might be the last one for a long time. Of course, the economic numbers might deteriorate again. The recovery is long in the tooth. China and Europe are struggling. Trump keeps chucking bombs at global trade. Even in that event, though, it shouldn't fall only on the Fed to boost growth, Bloomberg's editorial board writes. For example, there's nothing the Fed can do about self-destructive policy from the White House. The trouble for the stock market here is that it could really use a more-dovish Fed, writes Robert Burgess. With earnings stagnant, the market needs super-low rates to justify its valuation. Trump won't be the only one angry if and when the Fed stands pat. Telltale Charts Currency traders have judged Boris Johnson's Brexit strategy and found it wanting, writes Ferdinando Giugliano. That makes Johnson's weak negotiating position with the EU even weaker.  The conservative theory of poverty – that it's all about moral failing – doesn't fit Japan, which has a lot of poverty but very little crime or drug abuse, writes Noah Smith.  Further Reading The U.S. and Europe really should work together to protect shipping in the Persian Gulf, to avoid accidents and deter Iran more effectively. – Bloomberg's editorial board There are signs Jared Kushner's Middle East "deal of the century" keeps getting worse for Palestinians. – Zev Chafets It's time to stop letting Europe automatically pick the IMF director. – Mohamed El-Erian Trump wants to make loyalist John Ratcliffe the director of national intelligence, but it probably won't help him. – Eli Lake India should let more stressed shadow banks fail. – Mihir Sharma Under Armour Inc. is still struggling at home. – Sarah Halzack ICYMI The housing-affordability crisis hits the heartland. California seeks to keep Trump off the ballot in 2020. Elon Musk is tweeting again. Kickers Humans interbred with four extinct species. India's tiger population is rebounding. How money was invented.

À un an des Jeux olympiques de Tokyo, le Japon veut montrer au monde que la région de Fukushima, dévastée par le raz de marée et la catastrophe atomique du 11 mars 2011, retrouve une vie normale. C'est loin d'être le cas. Le premier ministre de l'époque témoigne des difficultés à gérer ce désastre. Depuis, il milite pour l'arrêt du nucléaire civil. -
Filer vers l'horizon sur un interminable ruban de bitume : contrairement à ce que laisse croire cette image romantique de la route américaine, peu d'activités sont aussi contrôlées que la conduite. Aujourd'hui, nombre de citoyens contestent le recours aux caméras de surveillance routière ; ils estiment pouvoir mieux s'en tirer face à des agents en chair et en os. Mais cette indulgence n'est pas garantie à tous... -
Agit-on mieux le dos au mur, quand il n'y a plus d'échappatoire, quand tout bascule ? C'est la thèse défendue par certains courants écologistes : l'humanité aurait détruit son environnement au point de provoquer l'effondrement imminent de la biosphère. Il s'agirait dès lors de se préparer matériellement et spirituellement à vivre dans le monde d'après. Catastrophisme éclairé ou grande peur obscurantiste ? -
L'un des effets les plus visibles de l'activité humaine moderne est aussi l'un des moins vus : le ciel étoilé s'efface, dévoré par la lumière artificielle. Au point qu'on institue des zones réservées où l'on peut encore admirer la Voie lactée. Par-delà ses effets sur la santé, la pollution lumineuse pose une question à laquelle les sociétés devront répondre tôt ou tard : de quoi avons-nous réellement besoin ? -
Les universités américaines sont devenues les bastions privilégiés d'une analyse identitaire de la société. Les conflits ordinaires qui y surgissent sont donc souvent interprétés comme l'expression de telle ou telle domination.

Lancé à grand bruit médiatique il y a un an, le projet de loi tunisien sur l'égalité hommes-femmes en matière d'héritage est en passe d'être enterré.

Dans un pays marqué par les contraintes sociales et religieuses, ainsi que par une vision figée de la virilité, l'homosexualité masculine demeure clandestine et, en théorie, réprimée par la loi.

Pays pauvre, la Mauritanie se distingue de ses voisins du Sahel confrontés à la violence de groupes armés djihadistes, mais elle reste minée par les divisions ethniques et la hiérarchie selon la couleur de peau.

Îlot de propriété privée durant la période communiste, refuge de l'agriculture vivrière à l'époque de la collectivisation, lieu de toutes les créativités architecturales et d'évasion intellectuelle sous Leonid Brejnev, la datcha reste la face cachée de la Russie. Une zone de droit coutumier dans laquelle la nouvelle loi entrée en vigueur le 1er janvier 2019 veut mettre de l'ordre. Encerclée par les banlieues qui s'étendent à l'infini, boudée par ceux qui lui préfèrent les plages de la mer Rouge, la maisonnette d'été doit se réinventer. -

Des journalistes de gauche - mais pas seulement - témoignent alors de leur sort. -
Entre l'Iran et les États-Unis, les incidents se multiplient. Depuis que le président Donald Trump a décidé de dénoncer l'accord sur le nucléaire conclu avec Téhéran par les grandes puissances en 2015, durant le mandat de son prédécesseur Barack Obama, les drones abattus succèdent aux déclarations martiales et aux embargos.

| Bahrain’s Perception Problem (Henderson | Policy Alert) Posted: 30 Jul 2019 09:55 AM PDT BAHRAIN'S PERCEPTION PROBLEM by Simon Henderson Policy Alert
July 30, 2019 New demonstrations, executions, and diplomatic quarrels threaten to undermine the island's efforts to improve its pro-Western profile amid the Iran crisis. READ THIS ITEM ON OUR WEBSITE
After the kudos of hosting a major economic and peace conference last month, Bahrain, the principal base for U.S. and British naval forces coping with the Iranian threat, is now being criticized for executing Shia activists convicted of terrorist offenses. In June, the world’s attention was focused on Manama as leading officials gathered at the U.S.-organized “Peace to Prosperity” workshop to hear ideas on developing the Palestinian economy. A tangential highlight was the widely circulated video of U.S. envoy Jason Greenblatt attending a prayer meeting in the island’s lone synagogue along with visiting Israeli journalists. Then, in mid-July, Bahraini foreign minister Khalid bin Ahmed al-Khalifa attended an interfaith conference at the State Department in Washington, where he had his photo taken with his Israeli counterpart Israel Katz. Bahrain’s pro-Western profile has also been enhanced as naval tensions with Iran increased in recent weeks. The island hosts the U.S. NAVCENT headquarters and the Fifth Fleet, as well as a permanent contingent of four British minesweepers and a frigate. Both navies enjoy the warm hospitality offered by Bahrain, and their presence has not been politically contentious. On July 26, however, a demonstration took place outside the Bahraini embassy in London to protest the impending execution of two Shia who had been found guilty of killing police officers and committing other terrorist offenses in January 2018. One protestor climbed onto the embassy’s roof from a nearby building and began shouting slogans. When Bahraini diplomatic staff were seen tackling him, British police intervened to detain the man, breaking down the door of the embassy in the process. The next day, the Shia convicts were executed by firing squad. (A third unidentified man, found guilty of murdering a Sunni preacher in an apparently non-terrorist act, was executed at the same time.) Human rights groups argue that the Shia were tortured and forced to sign confessions. Bahrain denies this. The incident has sparked a war of words, with the Bahraini embassy in Washington issuing a statement on July 26 that attempted to justify the execution by noting that capital punishment is permitted in the United States—probably a reference to the Trump administration’s decision to lift the U.S. ban on federal executions the previous day. In London, the British minister with responsibility for human rights, Tariq Ahmad, rejected such justifications via a statement posted on the Foreign Office website: “The UK remains firmly opposed to the death penalty. We express deep concern and regret that these executions were carried out. The Bahraini authorities remain fully aware of the UK’s position. We will continue to engage with Bahrain on this issue bilaterally and at the UN Human Rights Council.” An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson condemned the execution as well—little surprise given Tehran’s proven support for militancy among its Shia co-religionists across the Persian Gulf. Meanwhile, London’s embassy in Bahrain warned British citizens that “there have been calls for unauthorised protests on 28 July with potentially more in coming days,” advising them to “remain vigilant and follow the advice of the local authorities.” A man died in one such demonstration, apparently from tear gas inhalation. That protest occurred in the Bilad al-Qadim area of the capital, close to the U.S. embassy, though American officials have not raised their travel advisory level. Other demonstrations, tire burnings, and clashes with security forces have been reported elsewhere on the island. The timing of the executions adds an unpredictable ingredient to the current regional tensions, already enlivened by Iranian actions against shipping and indications that the United States may no longer be willing to act as the ultimate guarantor of Gulf security. Although Bahrain wants a higher international profile, many are concerned about its repeated failure to bring Shia citizens fully into society, with the result that some frustrated youths look instead to Iranian-supported militancy. Simon Henderson is the Baker Fellow and director of the Bernstein Program on Gulf and Energy Policy at The Washington Institute.
