Le Roi insistera probablement sur sa passion pour la nature lors de sa visite d'État aux États-Unis, mais son plaidoyer tombera probablement dans l'oreille d'un sourd. Parmi les nombreux conflits de visions du monde entre le Roi Charles III et Donald Trump, le plus important concerne un sujet que la Maison Blanche a cherché à faire taire : l'avenir de la planète. Pendant plus de 50 ans, en tant que Prince de Galles, Charles, soucieux de l'environnement, s'est exprimé fréquemment, s'adressant aussi bien aux sommets de l'ONU qu'à des réunions privées, pour appeler à une meilleure préservation de la nature et à une action forte sur le climat.

Richard Barrons backs George Robertson and says UK forces ‘too small and undernourished for the world that we now live in’Good morning. When Keir Starmer gave evidence to the Commons liaison committee before the Easter recess, and when he made a statement to MPs yesterday on the first day after it was over, he was repeatedly asked when the government will publish its defence investment plan (DIP). On both occasions, he could not give a timetable and would just say it would be published as soon as it was ready.His critics are furious because the DIP, a 10-year plan explaining how the government will fund its commitment to get defence spending up to 3% of GDP by the end of the next parliament, with total national security spending reaching 5% of GDP by 2035, was due to be published last autumn.There is a corrosive complacency today in Britain’s political leadership. Lip service is paid to the risks, the threats, the bright red signals of danger — but even a promised national conversation about defence can’t be started.We are underprepared. We are underinsured. We are under attack. We are not safe . . . Britain’s national security and safety is in peril.Like many others I hung my head in sorrow. But I couldn’t argue with him because although the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force and the army are, in their bones, outstanding institutions, they are simply too small and too undernourished to deal with the world that we we now live in. And the review says this. Continue reading...
