US midterms: With deep-red states now in play, could blue wave redraw America's political landscape?

With the US approaching a potentially consequential midterm election, the political landscape appears to be shifting. Alison Sargent is pleased to welcome Dr Richard Johnson, Senior Lecturer in US Politics & Policy at Queen Mary University of London, who examines the prospect of a sweeping Democratic victory. He argues that the party could achieve gains of a magnitude not seen since Barack Obama's historic presidential election in 2008. Johnson sees a combination of Democratic enthusiasm, and growing support among independents, white college-educated voters and Latinos, and signs of defections from Donald Trump's fiercely loyal electoral coalition. #DonaldTrump #Democrats #USMidterms 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen

Women and girls: Exclusion has real consequences - Briefing | United Nations

Executive Director of UN Women Sima Bahous said, “not one of the 13 ceasefire agreements reached in 2025 included substantive references to women and girls. Not one prohibited sexual violence - even as UN-verified cases of conflict-related sexual violence doubled in just one year.” Bahous also said, “in conflict-affected settings, women are five times as likely to die from preventable maternal causes, and girls are two-and-a-half times as likely to be out of school, compared to those living in stable situations.” The Executive Director reiterated, “end impunity for crimes against women and girls, sanction and hold accountable those responsible for the killing, rape, sexual and gender-based violence, and gender persecution against women and girls.” “Protect women peacebuilders, human rights defenders and humanitarian workers from attacks and reprisals. Uphold international law and apply this Council’s women, peace and security framework consistently,” she concluded.
