International traffic restrictions and internal border controls have been one of the most visible policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic across the EU. This Webinar will address their impacts on Schengen rules and the right to seek asylum.

It will explore if the pandemic offers new evidence confirming the need to reform the Common European Asylum System by better ensuring ‘equal solidarity’ and human rights protections at EU external borders, and therefore maximizing the Union’s role in the implementation of the UN Global Compact on Refugees.

The Webinar falls within the scope of the ASILE project (Global Asylum Governance and European Union’s Role), coordinated by CEPS. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 870787.

Keynote speaker: Commissioner Ylva Johansson

Discussants:
Tineke Strik, MEP
Michael O’Flaherty, Director, FRA
Marta Hirsch-Ziembinska, Head of Unit, European Ombudsman

Chair:
Sergio Carrera, Senior Research Fellow andHead of Justice and Home Affairs Unit, CEPS

Panelists discuss China’s development model in Africa and the effects of its expanding influence on the continent, with a focus on economic investments and diplomacy.

These submerged ruins have completely changed how we view the ancient world due to their age and the depth at which they were discovered. Right up until they were found no one even believed they could exist. Huge megaliths, massive human made bridges, and the strangest of all...an underwater pyramid city has all been found under the ocean waves. Are they remnants of a pre-ice age civilization, one that became lost to the sands of time?

The past few months have seen a sharp increase in refugees arriving on Lesbos by boat from Turkey. Over a million people have landed on the Greek island since 2015.

Conditions inside the main government-run camp are poor and there is little prospect of travelling further into Europe.

Despite this, up to 200 people are arriving on the island on a daily basis.

Al Jazeera's Jonah Hull reports from Lesbos.

This is a rough week for the Germans- their trapped garrison at Velikie Luki is liquidated, and their trapped army at Stalingrad is... well, it isn't going well for them. In fact, it isn't going well for the Axis anywhere this week, being pushed back or retreating in New Guinea, the Caucasus, North Africa, and on Guadalcanal. Berlin is even bombed this week as well.

Session 11&12 (10/14/10)

The Archaeology of North Africa: State of the Field 2014
Saturday, November 15th, 2014

Session One: State of the Field - North African Urbanism and Urbanization
“Iron Age Urbanization in Numidia” (Joan Sanmartí, Universitat de Barcelona)
“Saharan Urbanism and the Garamantian State” (David Mattingly, University of Leicester)
“Tales of the City: Archaeology, Urbanization and the Muslim Conquest” (Corisande Fenwick, University of Leicester)

Session Two: State of the Field - Mobility in the North African Landscape
“Identifying Berbers” (Elizabeth Fentress, International Association of Classical Archaeology)
“Trans-Saharan Movement of Metals from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages” (Thomas Fenn, Yale)

Since 2011, the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University has hosted an annual workshop focused on the state of archaeological research in a given region. Past events have examined the countries of Italy, Turkey, and Greece, as well as the Iberian Peninsula.
In November 2014, the Joukowsky Institute continued this tradition with a two-day workshop on “The Archaeology of North Africa: State of the Field.” As in past years, our overarching goal remained the same: to foster the exchange of ideas between a select number of primarily North American and European scholars, to consider some common obstacles to the study of the region, and to identify key questions for future collaboration and research.

The workshop kicked off with a lively keynote by Paul Silverstein (Reed College) on Friday, November 14th, which touched on issues discussed for the remainder of the meeting. The next day’s discussions were split into four broad themes, each featuring several short papers intended to begin a conversation on where things stand on certain key topics. The first session focused on current debates on urbanism and urbanization, and the importance of cities to our understanding of the North African past. This urban focus was offset in the second session by a discussion of the mobility of peoples and materials across this broad landscape. In the afternoon, the workshop explored the potential for new interpretations and research using available legacy data sets. Finally, participants considered the place of archaeology in North Africa within its wider communities, with a particular focus on working for the protection of cultural heritage.

The event concluded with a wide-ranging dialogue around key ideas or themes emerging throughout the day, opening the door to future cooperative ventures and providing participants with new ideas to shape the trajectory of scholarship in the region in the years to come.

CLIMATE
This morning, the Secretary-General of the United Nations announced the launch of his High-level Expert Group on Net-zero Emissions Commitments of Non-state Entities.
He was joined by the Chair of this Group, Catherine McKenna, who is the former Canadian Minister of Environment and Climate Change.
In his remarks, the Secretary-General said that while governments have the lion’s share of responsibility to achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century, we also need every business, investor, city, state and region to walk the talk on their net-zero promises and this is why he is launching this Expert Group.
The Group will make recommendations for more credible and robust standards and criteria for measuring, analyzing and reporting on the net-zero pledges by non-State entities.

AFGHANISTAN PLEDGING
Also this morning, the Secretary-General spoke via live video link, to the High-level Pledging Event on Afghanistan. He noted that despite our collective efforts, the already dire humanitarian situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated alarmingly over the past months.
The Secretary-General pointed out that some 95 per cent of people do not have enough to eat, nine million people are at risk of famine and global food prices are skyrocketing, as a result of the war in Ukraine. Afghanistan’s own economy has effectively collapsed and more than 80 per cent of the population are in debt, he added.
The Secretary-General stressed that the international community must find ways to spare the Afghan people from the impact of the decision to halt development
support to Afghanistan, and to freeze nearly $9 billion in Afghan assets overseas. At the same time, the Secretary-General said he deeply regrets that girls’ education above sixth grade remains suspended in Afghanistan – a violation of the equal rights of girls that damages the entire country and leaves girls more exposed to violence, poverty and exploitation. He stressed that there is simply no justification for this discrimination.
The Secretary-General noted that the funding appeal for Afghanistan this year is $4.4 billon – the world’s largest appeal for a single country, and so far, the appeal is less than 13 per cent funded.
A press release about the event and the pledges received will be on OCHA’s website a later on today and they will also be doing the accounting with the money.

UKRAINE
Today, another UN-led inter-agency humanitarian convoy safely reached Sumy, a city that has been heavily impacted by the war. This is the second time that we and our partners have managed to deliver much-needed assistance to people living in Sumy and nearby communities. This follows the first UN-led convoy which arrived in Sumy on 18 March, and the third successful inter-agency humanitarian convoy in the past two weeks.
In today’s convoy, which included seven trucks delivered food, medicines and hygiene products that will be distributed by the Ukrainian Red Cross Society and its local partners, and that will take place in the days ahead. This included food for nearly 6,000 people provided by WFP and the NGO “People in Need”; hygiene products for about 6,000 people also from the same NGO; blankets, sleeping bags and solar lamps for more than 1,500 people from UNHCR; and critical medical supplies for over 10,000 people for the next three months from our colleagues at the World Health Organization.
