California Rep. Eric Swalwell posted the ad, made by Progress Action Fund, to X on Wednesday (18 June). The video shows a white man and a non-white woman talking outside before the woman is suddenly grabbed by masked men meant to resemble ICE agents. The man demands answers, and is confronted by a lawmaker who says, 'I'm your Republican Congressman. Now that we're in charge, we're rounding up illegals.' When the man angrily responds that the woman was born in the US, the lawmaker replies, 'I don't care, she looks like one of them.' The Republican then promises that the woman will have 'lots of company' in the El Salvador prison she's going to. The ad closes with a purported quote of Donald Trump's from an April 14 visit with El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele: 'The homegrowns are next.' 00:46 00:55 00:59 00:24 12:25 17:05 03:25 07:30 07:35 10:44 07:06 07:42 14:11 12:18 30:24 16:08 17:41 18:22 13:43 12:41 05:35 08:02 06:42 05:23 07:08 05:03 09:53 07:25 07:30 07:54 05:23 05:35 09:47 06:28 06:23 07:35 08:03 11:54 08:21 06:38 07:25 04:31 07:30 03:34 17:05 03:51 04:18 06:26 04:30 03:35 03:45 07:34 02:03 03:22 02:15 02:22 02:21 01:43 01:42 01:45 10:44 03:44 07:42 09:22 06:11 07:50 06:21 02:19 10:42 06:27 07:23 06:35 More Behind The Headlines 12:18 11:50 09:03 13:07 00:43 01:02 00:49 00:34 00:36 00:39 00:57 00:34 00:49 00:33 01:00 00:31 00:54 01:08 01:35 00:47 00:37 00:21 00:41 00:34 00:57 00:32 00:47 01:40 01:01 01:03 00:41 00:23 00:38 00:24 00:19 00:50 03:29 03:07 03:07 03:24 01:36 00:42 01:26 00:32 00:31 02:00 00:40 00:58 04:23 04:26 01:01 01:07 15:55 16:33 16:06 15:01 15:16 01:16 00:36 00:48 01:08 More Saudi Green Initiative 01:12 01:23 01:24 Live Please refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged in Please refresh your browser to be logged in

Martina Navratilova talks with sense and intelligence on Trump, trans and tennis
Martina Navratilova is in the news a lot these days as a prominent voice in the trans debate, arguing that athletes who were born male should not be allowed to compete in women's sports. Some say she is brave to do so because the debate is so toxic. But Amol Rajan 's interview reminded us that she has faced far bigger challenges in life. She is one of the all-time greats, and not just for the way she played tennis. Defecting to the United States from Czechoslovakia aged 18, not knowing if you would ever see your family again? That's brave. Coming out as gay in the early 1980s, at a time when sponsors threatened to pull out of tournaments over such a 'scandal'? It takes guts. Dealing with cancer? Not for the faint-hearted. Rajan's journalistic instincts led him to quiz Navratilova on trans issues and her unhappiness with living in Donald Trump's America (now a totalitarian state, in her eyes). But they took up just a few minutes towards the end of the programme, because he rightly identified that there is so much more to this sporting icon. Some interviews are good because of the spark and tension between the two parties. Others, like this one, are good simply because the interviewee is an engaging person with a remarkable life story, and Navratilova scores highly on both counts. Half of the people raging about Navratilova on social media will know nothing about her early years, and Rajan was keen to fill them in. 'Your life reflected the great ideological battle of the 20th century – you went from communism to capitalism,' he told her, which is a very Amol Rajan way to look at things but led us to her memories of growing up behind the Iron Curtain, and then to archive footage of 18-year-old Martina holding a press conference to announce her defection. She made her decision after speaking to her father. 'Don't come back, no matter what we say, because they'll be telling us what to say. Don't believe us,' he said, anticipating the pressure that the authorities would apply to the family. Navratilova watched footage of that press conference on an iPad, and claimed that it was the first time she had seen it. 'You've never seen this? That's one of the most famous videos in 20th-century sport!' cried Rajan, which may be a tad hyperbolic. Another film from the archives was very moving: a crowd at the US Open final in 1981 giving Navratilova a resounding ovation after her sexuality became public. 'I thought, wow, they are really accepting me,' she said, although when she started winning matches (many against golden girl Chris Evert) then 'the gay thing was a minus and it was difficult to deal with'. In a 45-minute programme covering Navratilova's life story, there wasn't too much time for the tennis itself, although her domination of the game – 59 Grand Slam titles and a record-breaking nine Wimbledon singles – was celebrated. On the trans debate, Navratilova sounded eminently sensible. She pointed out that, even if a trans athlete's testosterone levels have dropped to a level acceptable to tennis's governing body, they're not going to lose five inches in height or an advantage in reach. Girls competing at high-school level will feel that they don't stand a chance against competitors who were born male: 'Go to your local meet and there's a boy that now has a ponytail and nail polish and identifies as a girl – that's all fine and well, but the ponytail and nail polish does not a female make.' Reporting on the interview, the BBC News website said Navratilova's assertion that trans women have biological advantages in sport is 'hotly debated'. Is it really? Against someone with Navratilova's intelligence and experience, I'd say it's no contest.

Freed: The King, the Donald and the future of Quebec
The big surprise about our visit from the 'King of Canada' was that Quebecers didn't care. Sure, the usual nationalist suspects went on about the 'insult to democracy.' But most Quebecers yawned and shrugged. In short, they acted like Canadians, 83 per cent of whom said they 'didn't care' about King Charles's visit (while Quebecers polled 90 per cent). In fact, most Canadians would like to dump the monarchy. But for that we'd have to reopen the dreaded Constitution: a Pandora's box that would quickly have every province demanding something in exchange. Alberta would want a pipeline in every home, Quebec the exclusive world rights to the words 'distinct' and 'special.' Ontario would demand recognition as the official 'centre of the universe' and B.C. a guarantee it can keep complaining about housing prices, while sipping $8 lattes. Negotiations would continue until shortly after the death of the universe. So instead of going there, we all just shrugged at the King's visit. But the francophone shrug seems part of a larger recent shrug about Quebec nationalism in general. How? Let's connect some dots. First dot: In the recent election, Quebecers single-handedly saved the Liberals. They saw the only election issue as TrumpAmerica, with a Carney-united strong Canada as their best defence. That's why Quebec originally joined Canada. As Father-of-Confederation George-Étienne Cartier put it, 'Quebec must join' Confederation 'or be absorbed' by America. For proof Cartier was right, visit New England, where you'll see names like Lavoy (formerly Lavoie), Wallet (Ouellet) and Packet (Paquette). Their owners often don't know their names were once French. As Quebecers grow closer to Canada, it's a bad time to promise a Quebec referendum, as PQ Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon keeps doing. In a recent poll, even one-third of PQ voters said they were 'not in favour' of Quebec sovereignty. Let alone young Quebecers. In another recent poll, 80 per cent of francophones under 35 were 'proud to live in Canada,' while young people in English Canada polled 74 per cent. Young Quebecers are now bigger Canadian nationalists than young English Canadians. The only place separatism is rising is Alberta. Will young Québécois someday fly en masse to Calgary, waving maple leafs and begging Albertans to stay in Canada? So what's behind these changes? Second dot: Recent generations of Quebecers have lived different experiences than their nationalist elders. Their parents and grandparents felt kept down by English Canada and some may still hold a grudge, including our premier. But younger Quebecers have grown up with francophones running Quebec (while we anglos feel like a threatened minority). These young francophones have no personal resentment pushing them toward independence. They don't even have any interest in it. Many travel and work in Canada, especially out West, and feel as comfortable there as I did at their age. Like young people everywhere, they also love the English-dominated internet, video games and Taylor Swift, but they also love popular French Quebec shows like La Voix. You can see how older nationalists might worry about this dual attachment. As a woman at a French book launch told me: 'I'm much less nationalist than when I was young, but my three kids — forget it! If I even say the word independence, they think I'm a fossil.' I sometimes wonder if the urgency some older nationalists feel for sovereignty is because they don't trust their kids to follow. It's easier for cabinet ministers to beat up on English guitar-string labels than tell their kids to stop speaking English. Like kids everywhere, they'd probably just do the opposite. Third dot: Recent generations of francophones have gone to school with the whole planet. When I grew up, most immigrants went to English schools because they couldn't get into French Catholic ones. So francophones were rarely exposed to them. But today's post-Bill 101 francophones have shared classes with the world — including students in turbans and hijabs — and you see them all socializing together on The Main at night. Quebec will always have periodic waves of nationalism to protect its language, but currently French is doing well, despite its doomsayers. So younger francophones seem confident about themselves and their language, within Canada. Last dot: All of the above is partly why Quebec Liberals are neck-and-neck with the PQ in polls and way ahead of Legault's CAQ. Quebec sometimes moves in giant swerves, or quiet revolutions — and we may be on the cusp of one, set off bizarrely by, yes, Donald Trump. Still, you can never predict long-term politics (see America), so I'm not making promises. Perhaps an unpopular Legault will quit and be replaced by someone more appealing? Or the PQ will drop its referendum pledge and risk a sovereignist hardliner rebellion? Maybe Trump will suddenly outlaw french fries, french toast and french kisses in America, provoking a new wave of French Quebec nationalism. Who can say, but for now the ground is ripe for another Quebec swerve, perhaps away from independence. Trump has already changed the arc of current Canadian history. He may yet do the same for Quebec, ending an era of 'Le Québec aux Québécois!' and starting one of 'Le Québec pour un Canada Uni!'
