The Lead: ‘I am an Afrikaner', with Adriaan Basson
Their departure, facilitated by the Trump administration, has generated intense debate over the Afrikaners' place in this world. But for News24 editor-in-chief Adriaan Basson, two things have never been more crystal clear.
One is that he's certain of his heritage: 'I consider myself an Afrikaner. I identify as an Afrikaner. Firstly, I'm a South African,' says Basson.
And two is that he's not a refugee.
'We can discuss ultimately what led to these Afrikaners leaving South Africa now but Afrikaners are not refugees, Afrikaners belong in South Africa, this is our home, this where we're from,' adds Basson.

Later in the show, host Graeme Raubenheimer reveals that the US Episcopal Church refuses to resettle the 'Amerikaners'. And finally, in true Mzansi style, our comedians teach the world a lesson or two about load shedding.

Protests after closure of news channel premises in Tirana
"Democracy dies in darkness" was the slogan chosen by Albanian journalists, politicians and activists for their protest outside the headquarters of private broadcaster News 24 on Monday. The 24-hour news channel went off air at 7:36 a.m. on Saturday during a police operation, its signal replaced by colored vertical bars on television screens across Albania. When the police arrived on Saturday morning, they surrounded the premises —the state-owned former Auto Tractor Plant complex — on the outskirts of Tirana and ordered staff to leave the building. They were acting on a recent court ruling to return the property to the state. 'A blow to freedom of expression' Anila Jole has been with News 24 since its launch in 2002, starting out as a reporter, rising to the post of editor-in-chief and now acting as the station's director-general. Jole called the move "arbitrary" and said it had been carried out "without prior written notice." "Press freedom is the foundation of a democratic society, and when it is undermined, democracy itself is at risk," she said. Focus Media Group, the owner of News 24 and several other media outlets including BalkanWeb, Panorama and Gazeta Shqiptare that used the premises, employs around 230 people. It called the eviction "a blow to freedom of expression" in an EU candidate country. From broadcast news to defense industry hub Inaugurated in 1976, the Auto Tractor Plant was once the largest mechanical engineering enterprise in communist Albania. It is now set to be transformed into a defense industry hub producing uniforms and equipment for the armed forces. The project will be managed by KAYO, a state-owned defense company established in 2024 to revive Albania's military industry. In April, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama hailed the plan as "a positive development for the armed forces, for our national economy and for the local community, bringing back to life an old infrastructure left idle for decades." 'A serious assault on free speech' The Albanian Journalists' Association called the police intervention "a flagrant violation of the fundamental principles of democracy and freedom of expression, guaranteed by the Constitution and international human rights instruments." It went on to say that "police actions that directly obstruct the work of journalists are unacceptable and constitute open pressure on the free media." The SafeJournalists Albania network posted a similar reaction on Facebook, saying that the police operation had blocked reporters' access to their newsroom and restricted their ability to work. "Such actions endanger media freedom and independence," it wrote. Opposition leader and former Prime Minister Sali Berisha went further, calling the intervention a politically motivated attack and "a serious assault on free speech" aimed at silencing critical journalism. State Attorney's Office says lease expired in 2022 Albania's State Attorney's Office has defended the police intervention, saying the lease for the former Auto Tractor Plant premises used by Focus Media News expired in 2022. The Ministry of Finance and Economy had set July 25, 2022 as the deadline to vacate the building, but the company did not hand over the property voluntarily, the statement said. The dispute went through all levels of the judiciary. In its latest ruling on July 14, 2025, the Administrative Court of Appeal upheld an order for the immediate release of the premises. The court said the broadcaster's media activity was not at risk, describing the case as a matter of office space that could be secured elsewhere. Focus Media News rejected the statement, accusing the State Attorney's Office of misinformation, and claims that the premises are its property and that it has the documentation to prove it. News 24's director-general, Anila Jole, said she hoped the court would "take a fair decision and suspend this intervention, giving the station time to relocate to other premises." Albania seeks to boost its military industry In April, state-owned defense company KAYO signed a cooperation agreement with Italian shipbuilder "Fincantieri" to develop naval capabilities. Also in April, it signed an agreement with the Israeli defense technology company Elbit Systems, with the aim of restoring the Aviation School in Vlora so that both military and civilian pilots can be trained there. KAYO is also seeking private partners for joint ventures in weapons and ammunition production, which require €60 million (approx. $70 million) in investment and significant job creation. On July 16, the Council of Ministers approved a state-level strategic framework agreement between the Ministries of Defense of Albania and Israel to strengthen Albania's defense capabilities and increase bilateral cooperation in this field. It is expected that joint projects involving companies from both countries will result in the production of drones, light weapons and artillery in Albania. The government says the initiative will strengthen national defense, attract foreign capital and position the country as a regional defense hub. Edited by: Aingeal Flanagan

Trump Asks Supreme Court To Bless Racial Profiling by Immigration Agents
Normally, when the federal government is credibly accused of violating the Bill of Rights, a government lawyer will tell a federal judge that the alleged misconduct never happened. No way, your honor, the lawyer will protest. No agent of this government ever did anything like that! But Noem v. Perdomo is not a normal case. Instead of disavowing the apparently unconstitutional behavior at its core, the Trump administration is openly embracing that behavior and urging the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court to do the same. It is the rare case in which both the government and its opponents agree that federal agents behaved in a specific way; the two sides only disagree about whether the specific behavior should count as good or bad. The specific behavior at issue here is racial profiling. Multiple U.S. citizens have alleged that they were illegally seized by federal immigration agents in Los Angeles based solely on unlawful factors such as their "apparent race or ethnicity," or the fact that they were "speaking Spanish or speaking English with an accent." And because these citizens (and others) "are likely to succeed in showing" that they were unlawfully seized in violation of the Fourth Amendment, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled earlier this month, the Trump administration has been temporarily blocked from employing such tactics as part of its immigration crackdown in the greater Los Angeles area. In response, the Trump administration is now asking the Supreme Court to lift the block and let the roundups begin again. And in its latest legal filing, the administration made no efforts to deny that its agents will be relying on racial profiling when they're back in the field. Indeed, according to the emergency application to SCOTUS signed by Solicitor General John Sauer, "apparent ethnicity can be a factor supporting reasonable suspicion in appropriate circumstances." Translation: If a federal agent thinks that someone "looks illegal," the agent should be free to seize that person based only on his "apparent ethnicity" without setting off any sort of Fourth Amendment alarm bells. Furthermore, in response to the argument that the federal government's alleged racial profiling has resulted in an overly broad dragnet that inevitably ensnares innocent U.S. citizens, the Trump administration told the Supreme Court that "the high prevalence of illegal aliens should enable agents to stop a relatively broad range of individuals." Take a moment to let that sink in. The Trump administration wants the Supreme Court to give its blessing to a kind of systematic racial profiling that involves federal agents stopping a "broad range of individuals" based exclusively on factors such as the individuals' "apparent ethnicity." And if the rights of U.S. citizens—such as the Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures regardless of your skin color—happen to get trampled along the way, the Trump administration's message to those victimized citizens is this: tough luck. To say the least, the Supreme Court has ample legal reasons to rule against the Trump administration's admitted racial profiling on Fourth Amendment grounds. But will the Court rule that way? Alas, the answer to that question is not so clear. While the current Supreme Court has been a Fourth Amendment defender in some cases, the Court has also been known to tip the scales in favor of law enforcement in others, including even in cases in which it was quite clear that federal agents violated someone's constitutional rights. So, the outcome of this case will likely turn on just how much deference the Supreme Court chooses to extend to Trump's immigration agenda. For better or worse, we will learn the extent of that deference soon enough. The post Trump Asks Supreme Court To Bless Racial Profiling by Immigration Agents appeared first on
