The Panama Canal is one of several territories that US President Donald Trump says he wants the US to take control of, amid concerns about China's influence over the waterway. What worries the US is a Hong Kong-based company that manages the two ports of entrance. Back in 2017, Chinese President Xi Jinping integrated the canal into his Belt and Road Initiative. But under US pressure, Panama's government has now backed out of that project. The canal finds itself caught in a struggle between two major world powers. Our France 2 colleagues report, with FRANCE 24's Lauren Bain.…

It’s been a week where Moscow got what it wanted. A 90-minute call between Trump and Putin ended with talk of visits and cooperation—and the real headline: no NATO future for Ukraine. Kyiv may never reclaim its lost borders, and as Putin steps in from the cold, Zelensky risks being frozen out. The EU warns of a dirty deal behind its back. Then in Gaza, the truce nearly collapsed. Hamas delayed hostage releases, accusing Israel of violations. Then came Trump’s ultimatum: free them all or “let all hell break loose.” The militants dismissed the threats but stuck to the plan. Meanwhile, freed hostages reveal harrowing details of their captivity—starvation, abuse, and fear. Meanwhile, world leaders gathered in Paris for an AI summit. The message from U.S. Vice President JD Vance? No brakes, no fear, no overregulation. Macron warned of AI’s “Wild West” dangers but made the most of the business opportunity. Safety concerns barely got a mention.…

"I missed you a lot": Donald Trump gave Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi a warm welcome at the White House. But behind the hugs, smiles and handshakes were intense negotiations. The US president complained about India's high tariffs on US goods while offering the Asian nation access to F-35 fighter jets. The Indian leader, for his part, was eager to ease friction on trade and immigration. FRANCE 24's Yuka Royer discusses the two country's ties with Suhasini Haidar, diplomatic editor of The Hindu.…

Europe is facing increasingly hybrid threats, and it lacks a shared culture of preparedness, according to our guest. Sauli Niinistö was the president of Finland from 201HJYYUU2 to 2024 and is now a special advisor to the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. In that capacity, he has authored a major report: "Safer together: A path towards a fully prepared Union". We discuss Niinistö’s proposals to improve the EU's civil and military preparedness, and debrief some of the latest international diplomatic manoeuvres related to Ukraine.…

Thirty-five years after the horrors of the Ceaușescu dictatorship were discovered in Romania, our reporters investigated one of the darkest episodes in the country's history – the squalid, state-run institutions where thousands of children were locked away and abused. An estimated 15,000 children died, mostly in so-called hospitals for those often misdiagnosed as severely disabled. While part of society is nostalgic for the Communist era, the work of collective memory and justice is far from complete.…

A few concepts arguably dominated remarks at the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris this February: inclusivity, ethics and deregulation. Debates about these themes, complimentary for some but conflicting for others, will have a significant impact on whether the technology can or will be used to address societal ills, including gender inequality. While the French government highlighted its pursuit of inclusive, open and safe AI, some of the world's biggest leaders in technology, including the US and the UK, refused to sign the joint declaration vowing to do the same. With the White House both ideologically opposed to such objectives and even linking them to stifled innovation, is it possible to use artificial intelligence as a tool to pursue gender equality? Erin Ogunkeye spoke to Dr. Eleanor Drage, senior research fellow at the University of Cambridge and Zinnya del Villar, Director of Data, Technology and Innovation at Data-Pop Alliance.…

Indeed, August 1, 2024 saw a historic moment as the world's first comprehensive legislation on AI started coming into force. Now, as of February 2 of this year, some of the most crucial provisions of the EU's landmark AI Act have come into effect: those that have to do with preventing unacceptable risk such as social scoring, or scraping the internet for the purposes of facial recognition.

US President Donald Trump's plan to take control of the Gaza Strip and clear out Palestinians has drawn international condemnation. Western and Arab governments, the United Nations and human rights groups were all quick to say it was tantamount to ethnic cleansing. But many media outlets in the US and France did not make the same connection. Why? Was it poor taste, bad judgment or something else? Our guests are Thomas Fenton, head of FRANCE 24's English channel; Kethevane Gorjestani, foreign editor and former White House correspondent; and Arno Pedram, co-founder of the anti-racist journalist organisation AJAR.…

According to the United Nations, Sierra Leone is one of the countries most exposed to coastal erosion. More than two million people are threatened by rising sea levels. Even the capital, Freetown, and its informal settlements – built by reclaiming land from the sea – are on the brink of sinking. A phenomenon caused by climate change, but exacerbated by human activity. Submersion is accelerated by the country's extreme poverty, which pushes the population to destroy their environment in order to survive.

The centre of Johannesburg was once an economic hub with abundant green spaces. But over the last two decades, the South African city centre has become known for crime, dumped waste, broken infrastructure and restrictions on water and electricity. A surging population has played its part. But so-called musical chairs of 10 mayors over five years and corruption during the tender process for service delivery has led to the downfall of the city's infrastructure, with buildings in the Central Business District often occupied by squatters and gangs.
