(TR) Until the last day, Edgar Morin remained attentive to the changes in the world and determined to fight against injustice. On the occasion of the release of his book "Are There Lessons from History?" (ed. Denoël), he had granted me this interview in March 2025:

(TR) "We used dogs to find the bombs; many dogs were killed. We used Palestinian prisoners."

(TR) Edgar Morin leaves not only a vast intellectual work but also a model of commitment, intellectual integrity, and courage.

(TR) Are we witnessing a reshaping of the media landscape, where traditional media is competing with the growing presence of social networks in the dissemination of information? Is freedom of expression still present in the media or is it being found in...?

(TR) 🔴Today, a discussion with Anne Sénéquier, researcher and co-director of the Global Health Observatory at @InstitutIRIS, about the risks of new health crises in the context of the spread of hantavirus and the resurgence of Ebola in the Republic.

(TR) Ofer Bronchtein has left us after fighting with his last energy for peace and peaceful, equal coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians. We met in 2003, and I was immediately struck by his vision, his humanism, and his sincerity.

(TR) For 10 weeks, the war in Iran has monopolized media attention. But beyond the conflict, it's the treatment of information that worries: superficial debates, self-proclaimed experts, conformism, and fake news. Are the media still analyzing reality? My point of view.

(TR) "For the first time since the founding of Israel, there is a beginning of distinction in American opinion between support for the existence and security of Israel and support for the policy of the Israeli government."

(TR) Gaza: apart from a few voices giving Israel a last reprieve from impunity, practitioners and experts are unanimous: it’s a gen…

(TR) "I don't want to see someone declare independence, and you know we are then supposed to go 15,000 km to go to war." Never has a US President distanced themselves so much from Taiwan and pleased Beijing so much.

(TR) "Westernization is primarily colonization [...] and colonization is a road of blood, a road of submission, a road of humiliation, a road of resistance."

(TR) Mourad Zeghidi was not released after two years of detention but sentenced to three and a half years in prison. Governed by fear in Tunisia.

(TR) Can the West still claim to embody a universal and democratic model? How can we explain the growing rejection of Western values in many regions of the world? To what extent is the Trump administration contributing to the decline of the very notion of "

(TR) Poutine thought that Donald Trump's return would lead to a withdrawal of Western support for Ukraine. However, massive European aid, the maintenance of American intelligence, and the strengthening of the Ukrainian military industry contradict Russian ambitions.

(TR) "Israel does not want to negotiate ceasefire agreements and we can see Netanyahu's strategy, which is aimed at avoiding a solution that would mean stopping the fighting, which means elections, which means an inquiry commission."

🎙️ "One day [Trump] thinks the negotiations are about to succeed, and the next day, he threatens once again to annihilate Iranian civilization." (Original: 🎙️« Un jour [Trump] considère que les négociations sont sur le point d’aboutir, et le lendemain, il menace une fois encore d’anéantir la civilisation iranienne. » (Re)écouter mon podcast avec @alevallois75, présidente de l’Institut de Recherche et d’Études Méditerranée) #Trump #Iran #Podcast #US #IR
