Hélicoptères, jumelles thermiques et aspirateurs : comment la police française dépense l’argent britannique

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:41:24 GMT

PARIS — Si la police française a pu investir dans de nouveaux équipements de surveillance grâce à l’argent versé par le Royaume-Uni pour la protection de la frontière à Calais, elle a aussi utilisé ces fonds pour s’équiper en matériel de la vie quotidienne : aspirateurs, micro-ondes ou encore chargeurs de téléphone. C’est ce qu’a pu constater POLITICO dans des documents inédits obtenus du ministère de l’Intérieur par voie judiciaire et détaillant les dépenses réalisées dans le cadre du traité de Sandhurst, négocié en 2018 entre Emmanuel Macron et la Première ministre britannique de l’époque, Theresa May. Ces documents révèlent aussi les décomptes réalisés par la police faisant le bilan des tentatives de franchissement de la Manche. Ils n’ont été communiqués que mi-octobre, après une condamnation du tribunal administratif ; notre demande avait été faite en 2021. L’argent britannique représente 10% du budget total de la France pour la protection de ses fron...

Iran is a direct threat to Europe

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:41:24 GMT

Henrik F. Rasmussen is the executive director of the Institute for Science and International Security.Hamas’ attacks against Israel on October 7 have laid bare an uncomfortable reality for the West: The threat from Islamic extremism is as real as ever.A long effort by the United States, Europe and Israel to “manage” rather than solve security problems in the region has proven an utter failure. And Israel’s approach of occasionally “mowing the lawn” with limited raids against terrorists in Gaza is the most immediate example of a policy that’s no longer viable.Thus, to protect its citizens, Israel must now deal with Hamas once and for all. The U.S. and Europe should give the country all the backing it needs to do so, and this includes applying diplomatic pressure to deny Hamas sanctuary in places like Turkey and Qatar.Behind Hamas, however, lurks a much greater, existential threat to Israel that’s also a direct threat to the West’s security on the whole — and that is Iran.The Iranian ...

Helicopters, riding boots and vacuum cleaners: How French border force spends UK money

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:41:24 GMT

PARIS — French authorities spent U.K. money aimed at preventing migrants from crossing the English Channel on equipment ranging from high-tech surveillance gear to vacuum cleaners and phone chargers for cars, a breakdown of spending reveals for the first time. Funds given to France under the Sandhurst Treaty were also used to police the border with Italy, 900 kilometers from the English Channel, according to the records obtained by POLITICO under freedom of information rules. French police have stopped fewer than half of all migrants attempting to cross the English Channel since the deal was signed in 2018, the records show, prompting fresh doubts over U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s promise to “stop the boats” as an election looms.Budget documents show how France has spent the £40.4 million (€46.5 million) the U.K. has given its neighbor under the treaty on border security negotiated by President Emmanuel Macron and then-Prime Minister Theresa May.A significant portion ...

Josep Borrell: The EU’s undiplomatic top diplomat

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:41:24 GMT

Josep Borrell made some EU diplomats very angry indeed.The bloc’s top diplomat exited a meeting in Luxembourg in late October and mapped out the position of EU countries on the Israel-Hamas war. Except he got it wrong. Borrell said there was “basic consensus” among the ministers on the need for a humanitarian pause in the fighting. However, it took four more days of diplomatic haggling and a five-hour-long leaders’ meeting behind closed doors to reach unanimity on the wording. EU leaders ultimately agreed on the need for humanitarian pauses (plural). “Basic consensus” was wide of the mark. While Spain was angling for a full cease-fire, countries such as Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic wanted to avoid any language that sounded like it might impinge on Israel’s right to self-defense. A top official from the European External Action Service, the EU’s diplomatic arm, had to go and explain to the member states why Borrell announced there was con...

No update on Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey, LT Ronnie Stanley after they exit loss to Browns with injuries

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:41:24 GMT

It was bad enough that the Ravens squandered a 14-point fourth-quarter lead against the Cleveland Browns at home Sunday. The salt in the wound is that they also lost two key starters to injury during the game.Cornerback Marlon Humphrey exited with an ankle injury in the third quarter, while left tackle Ronnie Stanley suffered a knee injury in the fourth.Neither player returned, and coach John Harbaugh said after the game that he did not have an update on either.“It’s a long season,” Harbaugh said of the 33-31 loss on a last-second, 41-yard field goal. “You do lose games like this.”Humphrey was injured after a short pass over the middle to Browns tight end David Njoku midway through the third quarter, though the injury appeared to be noncontact as Humphrey made a move in the open field. He remained down but was sitting up as trainers tended to him before limping off.With Humphrey out, Brandon Stephens and Rock Ya-Sin lined up as the outside cornerbacks. ...
