#Brazil #Lula #Bolsonaro - Brazil: Lula and Bolsonaro tied in polls • FRANCE 24 English

4 October 2026

Brazilians began casting their votes on Sunday in a closely watch presidential election pitting incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva against right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro.

Mara Nogueira, Senior Lecturer in Urban Geography at Birbeck, University of London, says the tight race reflects the consolidation of two political camps, with many Brazilians voting not out of support for a candidate, but to keep the other out of power.

She points to the cost of living, religion and social media echo chambers as key factors shaping the vote, alongside a major banking scandal that has so far had limited impact on Flavio Bolsonaro’s campaign.

Os brasileiros começaram a votar neste domingo em uma eleição presidencial acompanhada de perto, que coloca frente a frente o atual presidente, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, e o senador de direita Flávio Bolsonaro, filho do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro.

Mara Nogueira, professora sênior de Geografia Urbana no Birkbeck, da Universidade de Londres, afirma que a disputa acirrada reflete a consolidação de dois campos políticos, com muitos brasileiros votando não por apoio a um candidato, mas para impedir que o outro chegue ao poder.

Ela aponta o custo de vida, a religião e as "bolhas" das redes sociais como fatores-chave que influenciam a votação, juntamente com um grande escândalo bancário que, até o momento, teve impacto limitado na campanha de Flávio Bolsonaro.

#Venice #NAZA #Gaza: Venice gives 25-minute ovation for film on Israel's mass killing of Gaza civilians: FRANCE 24

11 September 2026

Mass civilian deaths were routinely built into Israeli military targeting decisions in Gaza, according to a Venice Film Festival documentary unveiled on Thursday that challenges official accounts of the war.

"NAZA", directed by Israeli journalists Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, received a 25-minute standing ⁠ovation at its premiere, by far the longest of the festival so far this year.

#Israel #UK #OccupiedWestBank - Diplomatic row escalates as UK, France and Canada move to sanction Israeli settlements: FRANCE 24

9 September 20226

Britain, France and Canada said Tuesday they will ban imports from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, with a UK minister accusing Israel of turning a blind eye to the "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians there. The moves prompted a furious Israel to unveil immediate counter-measures targeting Britain, as Jerusalem-based journalist Jordana Miller reports.

#Spain #Ceuta #Migrants: 'Pragmatic international relations': Sánchez seeks to avoid 'further conflict with Rabat': FRANCE 24 English

4 September 2026

Delano D'Souza is pleased to welcome Alana Moceri, International Relations Professor at IE School of Politics, Economics and Global Affairs. The migrant crossings at Ceuta have become both a domestic and international political lightning rod.

At home, Pedro Sánchez faces opponents who can cast migration in existential terms, with Spain's far right amplifying the rhetoric of "invasion." Internationally, the crisis exposes the geopolitical leverage inherent in control of the border. Ceuta thus emerges as more than a migration crisis: the border becomes at once an instrument of geopolitical leverage, a weapon in Spain's domestic political contest, and a battleground for competing narratives and disinformation.

#Cybercrime #Cybersecurity #France - Cybercriminals perfect 'social engineering': 'Each hack feeds the chances of the next one succeeding: FRANCE 24 English

21 August 2026

Peter O'Brien is pleased to welcome Simon McGarr, Lawyer with McGarr Solicitors in Dublin, and Managing Director of Data Compliance Europe. Cybersecurity is no longer simply a question of whether governments possess adequate technical defences, explains McGarr. AI is altering those risks at extraordinary speed, placing capabilities once associated with states or sophisticated criminal organizations within reach of much smaller actors. If threats evolve month by month, governments must focus on prevention: identifying vulnerabilities, adapting defenses and developing long-term institutional capacity before emerging threats become crises.

#Trump #USA #debt - US national debt tops $40 trillion for first time, dealing blow to Trump: FRANCE 24 English

20 August 2026

The US gross national debt has surged past $40 trillion for the first time, government data showed Wednesday, outstripping earlier forecasts at a pace fuelled in part by President Donald Trump's invalidated tariffs.

The uptick in borrowing is a blow to Trump, who promised to cut public spending during his 2024 presidential campaign, and sparked a backlash from US representatives across the political field.
