The Old City of Jerusalem covers less than one square kilometer and is home to Jews, Christians and Muslims. The political tensions dividing Israel and the Palestinians are felt acutely here. How do the Old City's residents deal with this stress? We put that question to three families and to three clerics representing the three 'world religions'.

The UK's recent disastrous "mini" Budget can trace its origins back to Britain's decision to leave the European Union. The economic costs of Brexit were masked by the Covid-19 pandemic and the crisis in Ukraine. But six years after the UK voted to leave, the effect has become clear. In this film, senior FT writers and British businesspeople examine how Brexit hit the UK economy, the political conspiracy of silence, and why there has not yet been a convincing case for a 'Brexit dividend'.

West African architects are reviving ancient building methods that make it easier to stay cool as temperatures climb.

9 ans après avoir posé le pied au Mali, les soldats français l’ont quitté par la petite porte, chassés par une junte malienne qui s’est désormais alliée avec les Russes.

Le 15 août 2022, le dernier militaire français a déserté la base de Gao et a franchi la frontière d’avec le Niger. Une retraite sans trompettes, ni tambours, la tête basse. Une retraite qui ne peut vouloir dire qu’une chose : la France a perdu la guerre contre le terrorisme au Mali.

Notre pays est pourtant resté près d’une décennie via les opérations militaires Serval puis Barkhane. Elle y a perdu 59 soldats, et sur la fin y a englouti près d’un milliard d’euros d’argent public par an. Tout ce pognon de dingue et ces vies humaines pour un échec cuisant, pour que le Mali devienne notre Afghanistan.

Depuis 2013, l’hydre djihadiste n’a cessé d’étendre ses têtes, sans cesse coupées sans cesse repoussées, essaimant du nord du Mali vers le centre, puis vers les États voisins, le Niger, le Burkina-Faso, le Bénin, toujours plus proche de la côte, toujours plus loin dans l’horreur. Des attentats ont été commis jusqu’en Côte d’Ivoire, dans la station balnéaire de Grand-Bassam, à cinquante kilomètres à peine d’une base militaire française. Notre pays, qui se vantait de pouvoir « changer avec 500 hommes le cours de l’histoire », n’a pas été capable d’endiguer le péril terroriste avec plus de 5000 militaires déployés au Sahel.

C'était un génie, le nouveau JP Morgan, l'idole de la presse américaine et le second plus gros donateur du Parti Démocrate (Bon Sang ne saurait mentir); il pensait même racheter Goldman Sachs à ses heures perdues... Las, c'était en fait le Madoff de la cryptomonnaie, et comme avec Madoff, l'Autorité des Marchés Financiers US (la SEC) s'est démontrée sourde et aveugle à tous les signes précurseurs graves d'une arnaque imminente. Samuel Bankman Fried, fils de bonne famille ultra-connecté aura participé à un réseau opaque de blanchiment, d'arnaque et de corruption dans lequel des millions d'épargnants auront laissé un bras...

Mais n'oubliez pas, c'est sur Didier Raoult et sur Elon Musk qu'il faut braquer les meilleurs investigations de la presse 🤡

Mega-corporations like Amazon and Facebook are becoming more powerful. And their growth shows no signs of slowing down. They are in the public eye -- but are they also above the law?

The pandemic has only made the "big four” -- Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook -- more influential. Our data has become big business. But are these corporations out of control?

Experts have long watched as corporations like Apple and Amazon flout antitrust laws, while receiving special treatment: When it comes to wages, taxes and laws, these corporations seem to rewrite the rules as they go. Many critics consider Facebook and Google’s systematic data exploitation a violation of our core democratic principals. Moreover, the line between the state and mega-corporations is growing even foggier. Some states believe there is simply no way around these giants. Corporate power seems like it is here to stay.

Market driven surveillance undermines our sovereignty and thus the very foundation of Western democracies. There is a storm brewing both in the U.S. and Europe. But the corporations are ready for it. Will they continue on this dangerous trajectory, or is there some chance we can still rein them in?

Cashless payments are on the rise. They are fast, easy and convenient. Worldwide, cashless transactions have become the norm.

But Germany’s central bank and government are still clinging on to cash. Can they stop the move towards a cashless society? Our documentary shows who is behind the worldwide anti-cash lobby. Banks want to get rid of coins and bills for cost reasons, and politicians think less cash will cut the rug out from under criminals and terrorists. Central bankers want to abolish cash because it would make it easier for them to enforce negative interest rates. And digital payment companies like Paypal or Visa simply want to profit from money transactions and collect as much financial data about consumers as they can. Their aim is to gain complete control over our buying behavior. For example, the "Better than Cash Alliance" in New York is supported by financial corporations such as Visa or Mastercard. They say the more people that are integrated into the international financial system, the more growth and jobs it will promote. But as our financial behavior becomes more and more transparent, states are also using payment data to find out more about us. The ordinary citizen’s view of cash as a store of value, independent of third party interests, is being increasingly ignored. But for them, cash is and will remain a symbol of freedom.
