🤝📱 Solitude, screens, housing: the High Commissioner for Strategy and Planning proposes a law on attention, a strategy against loneliness, and a principle of habitability. 📒 Focus – Modes and places of life. Protecting connections, designing spaces ✍️ High Commissioner for Strategy and Planning - Fabrice Aubert and Constance Rivière; reporters Sarah Bronsard and Mattéo Torres Audio Capsules of Health Practices 🎙️🎥 🏘️🧭 Recent data and proposals (framework law on attention, strategy against loneliness, principle of habitability) to be debated in the field.

(p. 3). It starts from the observation that lifestyles have changed faster than the collective frameworks that accompany them (p. 25). By 2035, it describes the erosion of social ties, the growing prevalence of loneliness, the increasing place of digital technology and AI, less linear life paths, and the inadequacy of the housing stock (p. 7-16). By 2050, it addresses culture as a lever for cohesion and sovereignty, autonomy and engagement in a more digitized society, and the conditions for a habitable life across the territory (p. 16-24). The proposals are directed at public authorities. It concludes with three key proposals: two framework laws, one on the attention economy, the other on cultural sovereignty; adapting social and family rights to new forms of connections; and enshrining habitability as a legal principle (p. 25). 🇬🇧: Focus – Modes and places of life.

SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA — WORLD BANK RAISES 2026 GROWTH FORECAST TO 4.3% Importance: 9/10 — Very High The World Bank raised its 2026 Sub-Saharan Africa growth forecast to 4.3%, from 4.1% in its April projection, saying growth forecasts had been upgraded for nearly three-quarters of countries in the region. It nevertheless warned that per-capita income growth remains much weaker and that debt burdens, high energy prices, climate shocks and global uncertainty continue to constrain poverty reduction. The Bank also urged African governments to accelerate practical adoption of artificial intelligence, including shared infrastructure and stronger data frameworks.

SENEGAL — SCHOOL YEAR POSTPONED AFTER DEADLY FLOODING Importance: 8/10 — High Senegal postponed the nationwide start of primary and secondary school from Wednesday until Monday following several days of torrential rain and flooding. Parts of Dakar and other regions were inundated, roads were disrupted and deaths were reported. The delay is intended to allow schools to be cleaned, disinfected and restored.

NAMIBIA — EU SUSPENDS FRESH MEAT IMPORTS AFTER FOOT-AND-MOUTH OUTBREAK Importance: 9/10 — Very High The European Union temporarily suspended imports of fresh cattle, sheep and goat meat from Namibia following a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in the country's main commercial livestock zone. The disease had spread to 11 farms after being detected in southern Namibia. The economic exposure is substantial: the EU accounts for more than 80% of Namibia's beef exports, and the suspension could affect thousands of jobs linked to the European export chain.

SOUTH AFRICA — CENTRAL BANK WARNS OF SECOND-ROUND INFLATION RISKS Importance: 8/10 — High The South African Reserve Bank warned that the risk of second-round inflation effects is increasing, with sustained high oil prices and uncertainty surrounding El Niño complicating the inflation outlook. The warning follows signs of weakening private-sector activity and highlights the increasingly difficult trade-off facing monetary policymakers between inflation control and economic growth.

Aid sources reported at least 17 deaths northwest of the Tigrayan capital. Ethiopia has accused Eritrea, Sudan and Egypt of supporting the Tigrayan-led armed opposition; those governments deny the allegations. Ethiopia and Eritrea have already severed diplomatic ties, while regional governments are increasing diplomatic and security coordination. The African Union and international partners continue to call for restraint and dialogue.

SUDAN — UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL EXTENDS FACT-FINDING MISSION The UN Human Rights Council extended the mandate of its independent fact-finding mission on Sudan for another year, with 28 members voting in favour, 10 against and nine abstaining. The resolution called for an immediate ceasefire and cooperation with investigators examining alleged violations by parties to the conflict. Sudanese authorities have opposed the mission, arguing that existing UN mechanisms are sufficient.

GHANA — FITCH SOLUTIONS SEES INFLATION RISING SHARPLY IN 2027 Importance: 7/10 — High Fitch Solutions forecasts Ghana's annual average inflation rising from about 4.7% in 2026 to 11.3% in 2027. It cites fading exchange-rate support, stronger money-supply growth, possible fiscal loosening, higher food costs linked to El Niño and energy-price risks. Fitch expects the Bank of Ghana could respond with renewed monetary tightening if inflation moves above 10% during 2027.

Periodaccio per Trump ... Uno spiraglio di sole per il mondo. Contenuto AI---I modelli predittivi e i sondaggi per le elezioni di metà mandato del 3 novembre 2026 confermano che i Democratici mantengono un netto vantaggio per il controllo della Camera dei Rappresentanti, mentre la contesa per il Senato rimane estremamente serrata, sebbene orientata a favore dei Democratici nelle ultime rilevazioni. I dati e le proiezioni variano a seconda delle diverse fonti di analisi: Proiezioni per la Camera dei Rappresentanti (U.S. House) I Democratici hanno bisogno di guadagnare solo 3 seggi per strappare la maggioranza ai Repubblicani. Attualmente, i principali previsori indicano uno scenario fortemente favorevole al ribaltamento della Camera: • Decision Desk HQ (28 settembre 2026): Assegna ai Democratici una probabilità del 75% di vincere la Camera, con una proiezione di 234 seggi totali. • Silver Bulletin / Nate Silver (28 settembre 2026): Mostra un forte incremento per i Democratici, che guidano la media dei sondaggi generici per il Congresso con un distacco di D+9,2 punti tra i probabili elettori. • Polymarket (Mercato di scommesse, 29 settembre 2026): Riflette il consenso degli scommettitori con una stima implicita molto alta a favore della conquista democratica della Camera. Il Cook Political Report ha recentemente spostato 15 sfide congressuali a favore dei Democratici. Proiezioni per il Senato (U.S. Senate) Il Senato è considerato il terreno di scontro più incerto, poiché i Repubblicani difendono una maggioranza di 53 a 47. Tuttavia, l'attuale indice di gradimento del Presidente Trump (attestato intorno al 33% secondo i sondaggi Reuters/Ipsos e al 37% per NBC News) sta complicando la difesa repubblicana in stati storicamente favorevoli: • Decision Desk HQ (28 settembre 2026): Indica una situazione in bilico ma favorevole ai Democratici, stimando al 54% la probabilità che questi ultimi ottengano il controllo del Senato (con un'ipotesi di 51 seggi). • Polymarket (29 settembre 2026): Gli scommettitori attribuiscono ai Democratici una probabilità implicita del 62,5% di conquistare il Senato. Il mercato sulla combinazione del bilanciamento del potere ("Balance of Power") quota l'ipotesi di un "Democratic Sweep" (vittoria democratica in entrambe le camere) al 62%, mentre la combinazione "Senato ai Repubblicani e Camera ai Democratici" si attesta al 31%. • Silver Bulletin (28 settembre 2026): Evidenzia che i candidati democratici registrano lievi vantaggi nei sondaggi in sei stati chiave considerati "tipping-point": Texas (D +3,4), Maine (D +2,5), Ohio (D +4,5), Iowa (D +2,0), Michigan (D +3,2) e Alaska (D +2,4). L'andamento di fine settembre delinea una situazione strutturalmente difficile per la coalizione repubblicana guidata da Trump, specialmente alla Camera, mentre per il Senato i margini nei singoli stati chiave rimangono ridotti e suscettibili di variazioni nell'ultimo mese di campagna elettorale
