Waste management: the Court imposes a financial penalty on Slovenia for having failed to comply with its obligations with regard to the landfilling of waste

Il y a 80 ans, le 8 mai 1945, l'Allemagne nazie capitulait face aux troupes alliées, marquant la fin des combats de la Seconde Guerre mondiale en Europe. Ce conflit est le plus meurtrier de l'histoire, avec au moins 60 millions de victimes. La victoire célébrée aujourd'hui par les occidentaux, et demain en Russie, a aussi eu un impact sur le continent africain, avec des centaines de milliers de combattants impliqués dans la victoire sous uniforme français et britannique. Leur participation a ouvert la voie à la décolonisation.

“Companies are increasingly seeing a growing downside risk" amid US-driven geopolitical turmoil, said the EU Chamber of Commerce in China.

This essay adopts a relational lens to examine China–Africa media interactions, focusing on the role of African journalistic agency in shaping relationships with Chinese counterparts across macro, meso, and micro levels. Drawing on interviews and multi-sited fieldwork conducted in China, Kenya, Ethiopia, Zambia, and Mauritius, it aims to provide a nuanced understanding of African journalistic agency in diverse contexts and propose a future research agenda.

Today marks 80 years since the end of the Second World War – Victory in Europe Day, 8 May 1945.

What has VE Day to do with the European Union? Everything.

The European Economic Community – which later became the European Union – was created in the aftermath of the war with one overriding purpose: to build a lasting peace on a continent that had torn itself apart.

That was the passionate aim of the EU’s founding architects, including our own wartime leader, Winston Churchill.

Afer all, Europe had been infamous for nations resolving their differences through violence, invasion and war. Both world wars began here.

So, the EU was never just about economics or trade.

It was a political and social project as much as an economic one – a community of European nations committed not only to working together, but to never again going to war with each other.

The founding vision, set out in the 1957 Treaty of Rome, was to create ‘ever closer union among the peoples of Europe’ – not simply a union of states, but of citizens, bound together by shared values, cooperation, and peace.

Winston Churchill saw it clearly. In his landmark Zurich speech of 1946, he said:

“We must build a kind of United States of Europe. The structure of the United States of Europe, if well and truly built, will be such as to make the material strength of a single state less important.”

That dream took shape just over a decade later, when six nations – France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg – founded the EEC in 1957.

It was a remarkable feat. Some of these countries had been brutal enemies only a few years earlier. Four had been occupied by Nazi Germany.

And yet they came together, determined that war between them must become unthinkable.

It worked.

In the 80 years since 1945, no EU member has ever gone to war with another. That is an extraordinary achievement on a continent with such a violent history.

Whilst NATO has protected us – so far – from external threats, it’s the EU’s deep political and economic structure that has helped to prevent war between its members.

This is what many Brexiters never understood – or chose to forget.

The EU is not just a trading bloc. It’s a peace project. A human project. A bold, ongoing effort to build unity where once there was destruction.

By leaving, the UK sent a message: that we no longer value this remarkable peasce project as our neighbours do.

And that’s a tragedy.

A százharminchármak döntése körül megannyi találgatás, hipotézis, sajtóértesülésként tálalt infómorzsa kering, hogy alapos munka lefejteni a különféle héjakat. A pápaválasztás szerepéről, üzenetéről és a Ferenc-utódlás kételyeiről is szó esett a Tetőteraszon, ahova Koncz Attila teológus, az MCC kolozsvári képzési központjának oktatója jött el.

Manuel Valls, ministre des Outre-mer, a reconnu jeudi "qu'aucun accord n'a été conclu" entre indépendantistes et non-indépendantistes concernant l'avenir institutionnel de la Nouvelle-Calédonie. Ces négociations dans l'impasse, menées sous l'égide de l'État, ont eu lieu un an après les très violentes émeutes au cours desquelles 14 personnes ont été tuées.

L’Etat congolais a créé cinquante-trois établissements publics non budgétisés durant le premier mandat du Président Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi, révèle l’ancien ministre des Finances, Nicolas Kazadi.

Actuellement député national, il s’est exprimé sur le sujet lors d’une interview accordée à la journaliste Paulette Kimuntu.

Nicolas Kazadi s’interroge sur les conséquences financières de ces nouvelles structures, créées sans prévisions budgétaires et entraînant des recrutements sans cadre limite.
