Election day in the UK: what to look out for – and when we’ll know the results

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 5 minutos)

Voters are casting their ballots in elections to 136 English local authorities, the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Senedd. For most, it’s the first opportunity to cast a ballot since the 2024 general election. This set of elections is complex, taking place in multiple locations with ballots being counted over several days and across three electoral systems.

Muslim women‑led nonprofits are engaging in advocacy despite facing a surge in Islamophobia

(Tiempo de lectura: 2 - 4 minutos)

Nonprofits led by Muslim women remain extensively engaged in a wide range of civic activities, even though 72% say they have experienced Islamophobia in their work.

That’s one of the main findings of the study that we conducted together. It is the basis of the applied research project – a type of dissertation – that one of us (Hussain) completed for her professional doctorate in philanthropic leadership. It will be posted online in mid-2026 to Indiana University’s scholarship repository.

When immigration detention becomes a system of concentration: Lessons from research on 150 historical cases

(Tiempo de lectura: 4 - 8 minutos)

The phrase “concentration camp” is freighted with dark historical meaning. Most people hear it and instinctively think of concentration camps used by the Nazis to exterminate Jews and other minority populations during the Holocaust.

But the use and name of concentration camps originated far earlier. In the late 1800s, Spanish military officials used concentration camps – reconcentrados – during their 1896–97 Cuban campaign to isolate civilians from rebels, resulting in widespread death and disease.

(Tiempo de lectura: 2 - 4 minutos)

The UK has raised its terror threat level from “substantial” to “severe”, meaning an attack within the next six months is considered highly likely. The change means the threat level is at severe for the first time in four years. It came with a warning from the Home Office of an increased threat from individuals and small groups based in the UK.

Un argument économique en faveur des règles budgétaires

(Tiempo de lectura: 5 - 10 minutos)

Pour réduire le poids de la dette, la France devra-t-elle adopter des règles budgétaires strictes ? Le débat entre les tenants de cette solution et ses opposants doit intégrer la situation réelle des finances publiques. En outre, une règle budgétaire permet au secteur privé d’anticiper à moyen et long terme, quand l’absence de règles produit angoisse et attentisme. Loin d’être une camisole, les règles budgétaires, si elles sont bien pensées, peuvent être d’autant plus efficaces qu’elles renforcent la coordination.

Latest attack threatening President Trump reflects rising political violence in US

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 6 minutos)

For the third time in three years, Donald Trump has come under threat by an attacker. Many facts remain unclear after a gunman stormed the Washington Hilton on April 25, 2026, during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.

As the investigation into the shooting continues, Alfonso Serrano, The Conversation’s politics and society editor, spoke with James Piazza, a political violence scholar at Penn State, about what is driving the rise of political violence in the U.S. and what can be done about it.

Comment la justice climatique risque de devenir un instrument de domination: le cas du Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETP) au Sénégal

(Tiempo de lectura: 6 - 11 minutos)

C’est un projet à 2,5 milliards d’euros qui se réclame de la justice climatique. Le Just Energy Transition Partnerships, ou JETP, est censé aider le Sénégal à se décarboner, avec des financements européens et canadiens. Mais quand on regarde la nature des fonds et le contexte géopolitique, une question reste en suspens : ce mécanisme n’entretient-il pas les inégalités actuelles ?

(Tiempo de lectura: 4 - 8 minutos)

On a Saturday morning, you head to the hardware store. Your neighbors’ Ring cameras film your walk to the car. Your car’s sensors, cameras and microphones record your speed, how you drive, where you’re going, who’s with you, what you say, and biological metrics such as facial expression, weight and heart rate.
