9/11, Twenty-Five Years Later: Lessons and Lingering Threats

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, the war on terrorism has reshaped U.S. foreign policy, national security, and the way Americans think about safety itself. What did the United States get right—and wrong—in the decades that followed? And how did the threat evolve from al-Qaeda to ISIS to a new landscape of domestic and online vulnerabilities? I

In this conversation, CFR Senior Fellow Steven A. Cook sits down with counterterrorism experts Farah Pandith and Bruce Hoffman to revisit the day of the attacks, examine the legacy of the global war on terrorism, and explore new security challenges facing the U.S. homeland.

Gral David Petraeus: urgent military change

General David Petraeus discusses autonomous warfare, drone technology and the military transformation driven by Ukraine. Ukraine offers the clearest evidence that warfare is changing in revolutionary ways. Unmanned systems now account for nearly 90% of Russia’s killed and wounded on the front line, with around eight million drones produced by Ukraine every year. Software is updated weekly and hardware every few weeks, a pace no Western procurement system matches.

Traditional armoured manoeuvre has effectively stopped, replaced by a dense zone of surveillance and strike drones along the front. For Gen. Petraeus, Senior Vice President of RUSI, this demands a complete institutional overhaul, covering doctrine, force structure, training, procurement and personnel, on a scale far beyond the changes he oversaw during the Iraq surge.

He argues the UK is unusually well placed to lead this shift, given its visibility into the Ukrainian battlefield, political continuity across governments, and a parliamentary system that can move fast, though entrenched interests in legacy platforms will resist the change required. This interview is featured in the latest episode of the RUSI podcast ‘Global Security Briefing’: https://www.rusi.org/publication/epis.

Clarissa Ward: “It’s Open Season on Journalists” (Washington Post)

 

By 

Each week, I’ll sit down with a new guest to explore freedom in its many forms around the world in our new video podcast, Freedom Desk with Jason Rezaian. 

For our first episode, I spoke with a fellow journalist who has spent her career covering wars from the ground, giving her a unique perspective of what’s at stake when in-the-field reporting is disrupted. CNN’s Clarissa Ward has survived a hotel bombing in Baghdad, run from gunfire in Syria, and reported from inside an apartment building under Russian bombardment in Kharkiv.

From her front-row seat chronicling the world’s deadliest conflicts for more than two decades, she sees the rising contempt for the profession as an even greater threat to journalism than bullets on the battlefield.

A new map of the world (BBC, Le Monde…)

La France a changé sa représentation cartographique du monde en abandonnant la projection dite « de Mercator » au profit de celle dite « Eckert IV ».

The UN has just called for the predominant world map to be replaced with one that more accurately reflects the true size of continents such as Africa.

The «Correct the Map» resolution adopted by the General Assembly aims to fix the discrepancy with the Mercator map, in which the African continent is shown as being of similar size to Greenland – even though it is in reality about 14 times larger.

The UN adopted a new map, the Equal Earth projection, which better represents the true sizes of landmasses – but comes with problems of its own.

Les femmes journalistes

Festival international de journalisme : les rencontres en podcast

Dans l’imaginaire collectif, l’investigateur est un homme. Courageux, fort, presque insensible, qui fait passer son travail avant tout. Un cliché mais qui a la vie dure. De leurs côtés, les femmes journalistes, elles, sont plutôt orientées vers les sujets plus intimes, sociétaux car il ne faudrait pas qu’elles prennent trop de risques, qu’elles s’éloignent trop de leur famille. Mais pourquoi cette différence de traitement et de genre ? Les femmes journalistes sont-elles invisibilisées ? Lorsqu’elles enquêtent, sont-elles exposées à des risques ou des menaces spécifiques ? Et est-ce que les choses changent ?

A l’occasion du Festival international de journalisme, les journalistes Anne Michel du Monde et Caroline Michel du Nouvel Obs, accompagné de l’étudiante en journalisme à l’IJBA Célia Lespinasse, ont donné la parole à Ksenia Bolchakova, journaliste d’investigation franco-russe et co-autrice du documentaire « Wagner, l’armée de l’ombre de Poutine », et Valentine Oberti, co-directrice de la rédaction de Mediapart.

Organisé par les rédactions du groupe Le Monde et du Nouvel Obs, le Festival international de journalisme avait lieu du 10 au 12 juillet à Couthures-sur-Garonne. Pendant trois jours, une centaine de journalistes et invités ont débattu avec les festivaliers autour de sept thématiques d’actualité. Pour en savoir plus, cliquez ici.

A New World Order Is Coming. We Aren’t Ready

An illustration of a globe with different sections cut and repositioned.

By Margaret MacMillan

Ms. MacMillan is a historian and a former warden of St. Antony’s College, Oxford.

September 1, 2026

When a storm is coming, there will always be signs. The wind might suddenly drop. The tide goes out farther than usual. Streamers of clouds sail across the sky.

It’s possible to misread or even ignore these signs — to insist that the drops of rain are just a passing shower — until it’s too late. That’s when the real trouble arrives.
