  • Royaume-Uni: les conservateurs de Boris Johnson perdent les deux élections partielles
    Le premier ministre britannique Boris Johnson et son parti conservateur ont subi vendredi 24 juin deux défaites cuisantes lors d'élections législatives partielles, notamment dans une circonscription du sud-ouest de l'Angleterre détenue par les Tories depuis plus d'un siècle. Les conservateurs ont perdu ce siège de Tiverton et Honiton au profit des libéraux démocrates centristes, et la circonscription de Wakefield (nord de l'Angleterre) a été récupérée par le principal parti d'opposition, le Parti travailliste. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aziz-mustaphi/message

  • Une mère et son fils condamnés pour l'agression d'un jeune arbitre dans la Somme
    La mère de l'agresseur de Théo Boucher, jeune arbitre violemment frappé fin mars près d'Amiens, a été condamnée à trois mois de prison avec sursis. Son fils est interdit d'enceinte sportive pendant un an. La mère de l'agresseur de Théo Boucher, jeune arbitre de 18 ans violemment frappé à la fin d'un match de moins de 17 ans entre Salouël-Saleux et Albert (Hauts-de-France), a été condamnée jeudi par le tribunal correctionnel d'Amiens à trois mois de prison avec sursis et un stage de citoyenneté. Elle avait giflé le jeune officiel après que ce dernier avait expulsé son fils pour des propos insultants. Son frère de 20 ans l'avait ensuite projeté au sol puis frappé. Lui est condamné à une interdiction d'enceinte sportive pendant un an. Début mai, le joueur agresseur avait été interdit de rejouer au football dans un club pendant 24 ans par la Commission de discipline de la Somme. Théo Boucher sera également indemnisé à hauteur de 500 euros. L'Union Nationale des Arbitres, présente à l'audience, recevra aussi 200 euros d'indemnités mais a annoncé son intention de faire appel de la décision rendue par le tribunal, rapporte France Bleu Picardie. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aziz-mustaphi/message

  • US Senate passes first gun control bill in decades
    The US Senate has passed a gun control bill - the most significant firearms legislation in nearly 30 years. Fifteen Republicans joined Democrats in the upper chamber of Congress to approve the measure by 65 votes to 33. It follows mass shootings last month at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, and a primary school in Uvalde, Texas, that left a combined 31 people dead. The bill will next have to clear the House of Representatives before President Biden can sign it into law. This could happen within days. Although significant, the proposals fall far short of what many Democrats and activists have called for. The new legislation includes tougher background checks for buyers younger than 21 and $15bn (£12.2bn) in federal funding for mental health programs and school security upgrades. It also calls for funding to encourage states to implement "red flag" laws to remove firearms from people considered a threat. And it closes the so-called "boyfriend loophole" by blocking gun sales to those convicted of abusing unmarried intimate partners. The bill is also significant because it is the first time in decades that proposed gun control laws have received this level of support from both Democrats and Republicans. Historically, efforts to strengthen US gun laws have been blocked by the Republican party. Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas, who co-led the negotiations, said on the chamber floor that the bill would make Americans safer. "I don't believe in doing nothing in the face of what we saw in Uvalde and what we've seen in far too many communities," Mr Cornyn said. "Doing nothing is an abdication of our responsibility as representatives of the American people here in the United States Senate." Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said: "This is not a cure-all for the ways gun violence affects our nation, but it is a long overdue step in the right direction." Gun safety group March For Our Lives - founded by survivors of the 2018 Parkland school shooting in Florida - welcomed the passing of the bill. "We know there's A LOT more work to be done to end this epidemic. But a lot of hard work got us to tonight. We refuse to quit or be silenced. Ending gun violence is the fight of our lifetime," the group tweeted. The National Rifle Association (NRA) has opposed the bill, arguing that it will not stop the violence. President Biden earlier this month said the proposals were "steps in the right direction" but are still not enough. He has pushed for bigger reforms - including a ban on assault rifles, which were used in the Texas and Buffalo mass shootings last month - or at least an increase in the age at which they can be purchased. The gunman in the Texas shooting is believed to have purchased two semi-automatic rifles days after turning 18. The US has the highest rate of firearms deaths among the world's wealthy nations. But it is also a country where many cherish gun rights that are protected by the Constitution's Second Amendment to "keep and bear arms". The last significant federal gun control legislation was passed in 1994, banning the manufacture for civilian use of assault rifles and large capacity magazines - but it expired a decade later. After the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting in Connecticut - in which 20 children and six adults were killed - attempts to tighten the laws failed to get enough votes in Congress. Thursday's vote happened hours after the Supreme Court struck down a New York law restricting who can legally carry a gun - effectively expanding gun rights and illustrating the deep divide in the United States over the issue. The court found that New York's requirement for residents to prove "proper cause" - or a good reason - to carry concealed firearms in public violates the Constitution. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aziz-mustaphi/message
