Macron voiced his opposition last year to bringing down statues of figures linked to slavery in former French colonies on the grounds that history can't be erased and the past must be acknowledged. Napoleon, known as a military genius, became an integral part of France's legacy. But in today's era, his image is tarnished by a decision to reestablish slavery in French colonies in 1802, after it was abolished in 1784. Ruler from 1799, he became emperor in 1804 for a decade, then again for three months in 1815. He was exiled to the Mediterranean island of Elba, escaped, then met defeat at the battle of Waterloo. He was sent in 1815 to the British outpost of St. Helena, where he died after falling ill. Napoleon's body was later exhumed and entombed at Les Invalides, a military hospital in French capital that is now also a monument to him.

"Today is a truly historic day as we mark the beginning of GoTo and the next phase of growth for Gojek, Tokopedia and GoTo Financial, " Soelistyo said in a statement released Monday. He said that the company intends to promote financial inclusion while providing "best in class" delivery of goods and services. The merger of Gojek and Tokopedia comes as competition is heating up in Southeast Asia, where technology companies compete for the wallets of over 650 million people. GoTo's rival Grab also provides ride-hailing and on-demand services across eight countries in Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, while internet firm Sea Limited has made a massive push into e-commerce in Asia with its Shopee e-commerce platform. Gojek was founded in 2010 by Nadiem Makarim as a call center for motorbike taxis, known as "Ojek" in Indonesia. It has since expanded to provide not just ride-hailing but also a variety of on-demand services, including food delivery.
4) Nuclear weapons carry huge proliferation risks On the eve of the 60th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Greenpeace volunteers fly Peace Doves, bearing messages of peace, "No More Hiroshima", "Yes to Peace", "No to Rokkasho" in Japanese and in English © Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert / Greenpeace Proliferation is the risk that states that have nuclear weapons increase their weapon stockpiles or that new states become nuclear-armed. To combat these huge risks, an international non-proliferation treaty entered into force in 1970 with the aims to prevent non-nuclear states from developing nuclear weapons, and to get nuclear states to reduce their arsenals. Unfortunately, these undertakings remain for the most part empty rhetoric. How can it be possible to claim that the security of a nation is based on a nuclear deterrence policy when at the same time other nations are asked not to use this means of "security"? 5) Nuclear weapons are the only weapons of mass destruction which have not yet been (really) banned Kaye Moss, director of Greenpeace Rocky Mountains, 1976-1980, at the Rocky Flats rally with her two children, Michael and Erika.

A Gojek driver gives a helmet to a customer in Jakarta, Indonesia, on May 17, 2021. (AP Photo/Achmad Ibrahim) SINGAPORE (AP) -- Indonesian ride hailing company Gojek and e-commerce firm Tokopedia said Monday that they are merging to form the GoTo Group. The companies said the deal was Indonesia's biggest ever, based on historical fundraising rounds for Gojek, priced in 2019 and Tokopedia, priced in early-2020, that put the combined past valuations of both companies at $18 billion. The new company will provide services from ride-hailing and financial services to e-commerce. GoTo is backed by investors including Alibaba Group, BackRock, Tencent and Temasek Holdings. The merger comes a month after Gojek's largest rival, Singapore-based Grab Holdings, said it would list in the United States via a merger with a special public acquisition company (SPAC) that valued the company at $40 billion. Gojek co-CEO Andre Soelistyo will lead the new company, while Tokopedia's President Patrick Cao will retain his title in the combined entity.
Rocky Flats, Colorado, nuclear trigger factory. © Rex Weyler / Greenpeace But this could change soon. While biological and chemical weapons have been prohibited worldwide, since 1972 and 1993 respectively, nuclear weapons have not been constrained up to now. This is a legal anomaly which is in the process of being fully corrected with the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons which is set to come into force in 2020, and was adopted in 2017 by 122 states at the United Nations. Of course, states that have nuclear weapons, including France, have boycotted this Treaty. But the pressure on the nine nuclear-armed states is building – from the growing number of nations and financial institutions who are ceasing to invest in the production of these weapons systems, to thousands of people speaking out across the globe. So what can we do? The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is a roadmap to achieving the total elimination of these weapons of mass destruction. To enter into force, the Treaty must be signed and ratified by 50 countries.

PARIS (AP) -- President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday is marking the bicentenary of the death of Napoleon Bonapart, the warrior and emperor who famously bequeathed to France its civil code but whose legacy is today tarnished in the eyes of some for reinstating slavery. In a speech, Macron is expected to commemorate -- not celebrate -- the larger-than-life figure who died in exile on the remote volcanic island of St. Helena exactly 200 years ago on May 5, 1821. He will then lay a wreath at Napoleon's tomb in Paris under the gold-dome Les Invalides, a grandiose resting place for a man who gave France its civil code and penal code, established the system of prefects, representatives of the state in each French territory, and lycees, or high schools, among other things. In a touchy distinction, Macron doesn't intend to polish Napoleon's image. Instead, he means to "deconstruct" it, with "neither denial nor repentance, " an official at the presidential Elysee palace said. That means learning lessons to move forward, the official said on customary condition of anonymity.
Makarim stepped down as CEO in October 2019 after taking on a ministerial position in the Indonesian government, and Soelistyo, together with Kevin Aluwi, were named co-CEOs. Tokopedia was founded in 2009 by William Tanuwijaya and has expanded to become Indonesia's largest e-commerce firm. It later expanded to provide financial services such as digital payments and lending services. GoTo Group has over 11 million monthly active users, the companies said, with its business encompassing 2% of Indonesia's GDP of over $1 trillion.
September 26th is the United Nations' International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons. One year on from the historic adoption of an international treaty which aims to make these weapons illegal, it is urgent that we step up the treaty's implementation and remind ourselves why these weapons of mass destruction must be banned to build a peaceful world. 1) Nuclear weapons cause catastrophic harm Praying Monks – Hiroshima Atomic Bombing 60th Anniversary. Japan 2005 © Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert / Greenpeace "My beloved city of Hiroshima suddenly became desolation, with heaps of ash and rubble, skeletons and blackened corpses. " Setsuko Thurlow, Hibakusha (survivor) of the Hiroshima bombing. This haunting witness account reminds us of the enormous destructive power of nuclear weapons. Hitting civilians and soldiers indiscriminately, they wreak devastation and have long-term radiation effects that affect future generations. Used twice in wartime, in 1945, on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, around a quarter of a million civilians were incinerated in an instant or were subjected to horrendous deaths in the weeks and months following the attacks.
2) Nuclear weapons are pointless Peace Fleet protest against the presence of the nuclear warship USS MIDWAY in Yokosuka, Japan. © Naoko Funahashi / Greenpeace What defence can the atomic bomb provide against the main threats of our era, such as climate change, terrorism or cyber-attacks? Nuclear weapons are totally obsolete and unable to meet today's challenges. On the contrary, far from maintaining peace, they fuel fear and distrust between countries. 3) Nuclear weapons cost us a fortune Greenpeace "NO WAR" hot air balloon at a demonstration against the Iraq war in Berlin. © Paul Langrock / Greenpeace While nuclear arsenals have decreased since the mid-1980s, the budgetary expenditure related to nuclear weapons is constantly on the rise. This pattern of spending of public money is found in all states which possess nuclear weapons. According to estimates ( Global Zero, 2011) it's close to $1000 billion for the decade of 2010-2020. Imagine if this money went instead to health, education, the fight against climate change, assistance to survivors, and other services to ensure human security.
