Über diesen Titel

A court in Nigeria has ordered the UK government to pay $572 million to the families of coal miners killed by colonial police during a strike in 1949. We break down what happened at the Enugu mines, how it links to Britain’s colonial rule, and why the ruling matters more than 75 years later.


Also:


  • We also cover the World Economic Forum’s investigation into its CEO, Børge Brende, over past interactions with Jeffrey Epstein.
  • Lebanon accuses Israel of spraying glyphosate over southern villages. We explain what’s known about the environmental risks and why claims about cancer are contested.
  • The UN’s financial crisis, with warnings it could run out of money within months. Reuters reports the US accounts for 95% of unpaid regular budget dues - around $2.19bn.
  • The US is preparing to fund MAGA-aligned think tanks in Europe.
  • Saudi Arabia announces major new investments in Syria.
