THE WORLD THIS WEEK - Friday, January, 21th (part 2)

People across the Arab world have a "malicious grin", and François Picard’s panel knows why. Also, why panda diplomacy is always so successful in Sino-American relations; the reason rich people the world over are sweating over the latest WikiLeaks statement; and what could well be the obituary of Israel’s Labour Party.

A New National Front? (part 2)

On Sunday, the National Front will have a new leader, a sea change for a party led its founder Jean-Marie Le Pen for nearly three decades. Two candidates are competing for the leadership: Bruno Gollnisch, a party stalwart, and Marine Le Pen, who is none other than the youngest daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen. Marine is the clear favourite and she is expected to immediately declare her candidacy for the 2012 presidential election.

On this week’s show we consider the worst clashes between the two Koreas since the end of the Korean war, the elections begin held in the rubble and despite a cholera epidemic in Haiti and the trial of former Congolese vice president Jean-Pierre Bemba at the International Criminal Court in the Hague. The week as seen by our panel of journalists on France 24.

Catholic Church: Going soft on contraception? (part 2)

Catholic Church: Going soft on contraception? (part 2)

Millions of Catholics around the world were left trying to fathom the pope’s position after Benedict 16th said that in some cases, the use of condoms could be justified. Just last year his holiness said condoms could actually be exacerbating the HIV epidemic in Africa and the only way to curb infection was via abstinence and fidelity. Does this turnaround mean the Catholic Church is finally going soft on condoms?
