Missing Oscar found after airport security incident

An Academy Award that went missing after being checked at an airport in New York has been located, according to Lufthansa. Filmmaker Pavel Talankin said he was carrying the Oscar in his hand luggage while travelling from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Germany when security officers stopped him. Authorities reportedly insisted the statuette could pose a security risk and required it to be placed in checked baggage. However, upon arrival in Germany, the award—won for the documentary Mr Nobody Against Putin—was missing. Lufthansa later confirmed that the statuette had been found in Frankfurt and is now secure. The airline said it is working directly with Talankin to return the item as quickly as possible, while also launching an internal review into how the situation occurred. It added that it had apologised for the inconvenience. The incident caused concern among […]

Mladić seeks release over failing health

Lawyers for Ratko Mladić are awaiting a ruling from a United Nations court on a request to release him on medical grounds. The 84-year-old former Bosnian Serb commander is currently serving a life sentence in The Hague. Mladić was convicted in 2017 of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, a verdict upheld on appeal in 2021. Once dubbed the “Butcher of Bosnia,” he remains one of the most prominent figures linked to atrocities during the Balkan wars. His legal team argues that his health has significantly deteriorated. According to their submission, he has been largely bedridden or reliant on a wheelchair and is believed to have suffered a stroke that has severely affected his ability to speak. Medical assessments cited by the defence describe his condition as critical, with a high risk of imminent death. They are requesting provisional […]

Togo lance sa stratégie maritime à l’horizon 2030

Le Togo affiche ses ambitions maritimes à l’horizon 2030. Les autorités viennent d’adopter une Stratégie nationale pour la mer et le littoral (SNPML), avec l’objectif de transformer l’espace maritime en véritable levier de croissance, d’emplois et d’influence régionale. Avec ses 16 100 km² d’espace maritime, soit près de 30 % de son territoire, le pays dispose d’un potentiel encore sous-exploité. Cette zone englobe une activité portuaire dynamique, une pêche artisanale essentielle pour de nombreuses communautés, ainsi que des perspectives dans les hydrocarbures offshore et le tourisme côtier. L’ambition est claire : faire du Togo un acteur maritime de référence dans le Golfe de Guinée. La stratégie s’articule autour de cinq axes structurants. Elle prévoit d’abord un renforcement de la gouvernance maritime, afin de mieux coordonner les interventions publiques. Elle mise ensuite sur le développement de l’économie bleue, en valorisant les […]

40 % des véhicules sans assurance au Togo

Près de 40 % des véhicules en circulation au Togo roulent sans assurance, une situation préoccupante qui fragilise tout le système d’indemnisation en cas d’accident. Sans couverture valide, les victimes peuvent se retrouver sans recours effectif ou confrontées à de longues procédures pour obtenir réparation. Cette réalité concerne tous les types de véhicules : voitures particulières, camions, bus et motos. De nombreux usagers invoquent le coût jugé élevé des primes d’assurance pour expliquer ce faible taux de souscription. Face à cette situation, les autorités envisagent de renforcer les contrôles sur l’ensemble du territoire, aussi bien sur les grands axes que sur les routes secondaires. L’objectif est d’améliorer la conformité et de garantir une meilleure protection des usagers de la route. Le phénomène dépasse toutefois les frontières togolaises. Des pays comme le Bénin, le Ghana ou encore le Burkina Faso font […]

Nouvelle convention collective signée au Togo

Après plusieurs mois de discussions, les partenaires sociaux togolais ont conclu un accord majeur qui redéfinit le cadre des relations professionnelles. Jeudi, le patronat et les syndicats ont signé une nouvelle convention collective interprofessionnelle, marquant une révision en profondeur du texte adopté en 2011, jugé désormais inadapté aux évolutions du marché du travail. Ce nouveau cadre vise à renforcer les droits fondamentaux des travailleurs tout en apportant davantage de sécurité juridique aux relations entre employeurs et salariés. Il intègre également des enjeux actuels tels que le dialogue social, la prévention des conflits et l’amélioration des conditions de travail. L’accord reflète une volonté d’adapter les règles aux mutations économiques et sociales, dans un contexte où les entreprises doivent concilier compétitivité et responsabilité sociale. Pour Laurent Coami Tamégnon, président du Conseil national du patronat du Togo, cet équilibre est essentiel : la […]

La CNDH adopte le budget vert au Togo

Au Togo, la Commission nationale des droits de l'homme franchit une nouvelle étape dans l’intégration des enjeux environnementaux en mettant en place une cellule dédiée au « Budget vert ».

France urges citizens to leave Mali fast

France has called on its nationals to leave Mali without delay following a surge in coordinated attacks involving separatist fighters and Islamist militants. In an updated advisory, the French government warned that the security situation has become “extremely volatile” and urged citizens to avoid all travel to the country. Those still in Mali have been advised to depart using available commercial flights while limiting movement and following local authorities’ instructions. The warning comes after a wave of violence over the weekend, with explosions and gunfire reported in several areas, including the capital, Bamako. In the town of Kati, Defence Minister Sadio Camara was reportedly killed in a suicide attack, while in the north, separatist forces seized control of Kidal. Despite the escalation, Mali’s military leader Assimi Goïta stated that the situation remains under control. He said the army had inflicted […]

US court limits race use in voting maps

The US Supreme Court has issued a major ruling that limits how lawmakers can use race when drawing electoral districts, a decision likely to influence political dynamics across the southern United States. In a 6–3 judgment, the court’s conservative majority backed a legal challenge against newly drawn voting maps in Louisiana. These maps had been created to comply with protections under the Voting Rights Act, which aims to prevent racial discrimination in elections. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito argued that past interpretations of the law had, in some cases, pushed states toward race-based decisions that conflict with constitutional principles. The plaintiffs—primarily white voters—contended that factoring race into district boundaries violated equal protection guarantees. While the court stopped short of declaring the Voting Rights Act provision unconstitutional, it introduced a stricter standard for future cases. Individuals challenging electoral maps […]

King Charles visit tests UK-US ties

The official visit of King Charles III to the United States delivered polished speeches, warm gestures and carefully staged ceremonies. But beyond the symbolism, a key question remains: will this diplomatic moment lead to tangible political progress? Ahead of the visit, British officials were realistic about its limits. Deep disagreements between London and Washington—ranging from trade and NATO commitments to Ukraine and Iran—were not expected to disappear overnight. Tensions had also been fuelled by past remarks from Donald Trump directed at UK leadership. Rather than aiming for a reset, diplomats saw the visit as an opportunity to ease tensions and improve dialogue. Former UK ambassador David Manning described the King as a “stabilising force” capable of creating space for renewed engagement on complex issues. Through carefully crafted speeches, King Charles struck a tone of respect and unity. He praised American […]

Russia scales back Victory Day parade in Moscow

Russia has decided to scale down its annual Victory Day parade scheduled for 9 May in Moscow, citing heightened security concerns linked to what officials describe as threats from Ukraine. According to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, authorities are implementing strict measures to reduce potential risks. Despite the changes, the ceremony will still take place at Red Square, a symbolic location for the commemoration. Russia’s defence ministry confirmed that this year’s parade will not include heavy military equipment or cadets from traditional military academies. Instead, the event will feature personnel from various branches of the armed forces along with an aerial display. The adjustments reflect what officials describe as the current operational environment. The decision comes as Ukraine has stepped up strikes deep inside Russian territory, more than four years into the ongoing conflict. Kyiv maintains that its actions target military […]
