Corruption in the Arab world

FRANCE 24 continues its special series on corruption with a focus on the Arab world. 5 years ago, a major survey in several Arab states revealed that a whopping 90% of the population believed corruption in their country was widespread. Transparency International's corruption index consistently ranks Arab countries below the global average.

Cancun climate talks - curbing expectations?

We're told it's the biggest threat to humanity today and that hundreds of millions of people are at risk from its effects. So why have so few world leaders turned up to talks on climate change in Cancun this Tuesday? NGOs and environmentalists are pleading with those that did attend not to miss this opportunity for a global deal, but the will to compromise has been severely hit by the economic crisis and expectations for a breakthrough at this round of talks are low.

Wikileaks: diplomacy, a changed game? (part 2)

WikiLeaks has done it again! Over a quarter of a million classified and private documents have fallen into the hands of those dreaded journalists. Telegrams sent between the United States' State Department and some 270 embassies and consulates around the world are now in the hands of the public. So how damaging are these leaks to international diplomacy?

Please refrain from inviting her as a guest on your show. It is painful to listen to her endless emotional rants that rarely even answer the question posed to her. I turned your show off after her diatribe about Argentina and austerity measures. Will someone please explain to her that Argentina is not Europe? I believe on another show she displayed an embarrassing lack of understanding of what is happening by saying that France just needs to tell the markets that it (France) will dictate the terms of their agreement if they (the markets) want to do business with France. Most of your guests, in my opinion, are of high caliber and offer thoughtful and insightful responses. Raquel GARRIDO, in my opinion does not share these qualities. Please do not invite her again!
