GB2RS News Sunday the 14th of June 2026 The news headlines: IARU President announced as the keynote speaker for the RSGB 2026 Convention The RSGB has updated its Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy Make use of the RSGB Full question bank Four years ago, IARU President Tim Ellam, VE6SH/G4HUA shared his thoughts on the changes and challenges to the amateur service and what the future held for amateur radio. On Saturday the 10th of October 2026, Tim will return to the RSGB Convention and in his presentation he will touch on whether the future turned out as expected! Tim is currently serving his fourth term as IARU President and the RSGB is delighted to welcome him back as the keynote speaker. Buy your ticket for the RSGB Convention by going to rsgb.org/convention  As well as the keynote, the Society has a speaker programme that will bring radio amateurs a wide-ranging selection of lectures. Whether you are keen to enhance your knowledge on propagation, FT8, or you want to learn more on VHF and above, there is something for everyone. You can keep up to date with the latest speakers by visiting the Convention speaker page. The RSGB Convention takes place between the 9th and 11th of October 2026 at Kents Hill Conference Centre in Milton Keynes. The RSGB is committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful and accessible amateur radio community in which all individuals can participate fully and safely. It aims not only to prevent discrimination, but to actively remove barriers to participation, promote equity, and create an environment where diversity is valued and inclusion is embedded in all that we do. The Society reviews all its policies regularly and this week it has published an updated Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy. The policy has clearer language to explain the responsibilities of Directors, staff, volunteers, RSGB members and affiliated clubs, as well as participants in RSGB events, training, and programmes. The policy also applies to all RSGB platforms and environments. The Society encourages all members and affiliated clubs to read the policy. You can find it on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/policies  The RSGB will review this policy at least annually and monitor its implementation to ensure continuous improvement. In April, the RSGB Exams Team published the entire Full licence exam question bank on the RSGB website. This means that anyone studying for their Full licence has this valuable resource at their fingertips. The interface also allows users to generate their own mock examinations from the question bank. Feedback by radio amateurs has said how useful the resource is and that anyone studying for their exam should take a look. To get started go to rsgb.org/exam-questions  The RSGB Examinations Standards Committee has also prepared some FAQs to support the publication of the question bank. You can access these on the Exam FAQs web page. Have you seen the ‘About the RSGB' playlist on the Society's YouTube channel? There are nearly 50 videos to choose from including a number of recently released videos with RSGB representatives. You'll be able watch RSGB Propagation Studies Committee Chair Steve Nichols, G0KYA talk about a range of propagation topics including the best months for propagation and the possible effect of AI on propagation forecasts. If you'd like to learn more about the work of the RSGB EMC Committee, you can watch Committee Chair John Rogers, M0JAV discuss some of the upcoming projects it has planned. You can watch the full playlist by going to youtube.com/thersgb  The next Bath Based Distance Learning Full Licence course will run between August and December 2026. The course will include weekly tutorials and work packages via an online classroom as well as access to a remote tutor. Applicants must work through pre-course material and complete a quiz to be eligible for a place. To request full details, and an application form, please email Bath Based Distance Learning's Team Leader, Steve, G0FUW via g0fuw@bbdl.org.uk If you're one of the nearly ten thousand HamClock users, please be aware that the original HamClock backend server will stop working sometime in June 2026 following the original developer passing away in January. To continue using HamClock after this date and to keep receiving updates, you must switch the HamClock backend server. To find out more about this and for links to guides for both Raspberry Pi-based HamClocks, or those using an Inovato Quadra, visit hamclockisnotdead.com  The replacement open-source HamClock backend server is called ‘OpenHamClock Backend' and more details can be found at ohb.works  Unlike the original, this is completely open source and is run by a team of developers so there is no one particular person responsible. The same team is also providing updates to the HamClock client itself which is now up to version 4.26.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 11th of June 2026 Last week we warned you about a potential geomagnetic disturbance caused by a triple coronal mass ejection, or CME, from the Sun. As it turned out, the Kp index rose to 6.33 and poor HF conditions ensued, just in time for RSGB National Field Day. Luckily, Sunday the 7th wasn't quite so bad, but it did show how a Kp index rise can damage HF propagation. A further CME warning has since been cancelled, but we are not out of the woods just yet. A long-duration mid-level C-Flare was observed in the northeast quadrant of the Sun, peaking at just after midnight on Thursday the 11th of June. A CME with a possible Earth-directed component is possible, which could lead to a Kp index rise. Meanwhile, the solar flux index declined to 124 on Thursday the 11th, as predicted, but that's still enough for some DX potential. Sporadic-E has been providing lots of entertainment, so make the most of it during June, which is one of the best months for Sporadic-E activity. Settled geomagnetic conditions, with a low Kp index, appear to provide the best time for Sporadic-E. DX to be worked this week includes 5Z4/MM0ZBH in Kenya which is active until the 15th of June. The station has been spotted on the 10m band using FT8 and on the 20m band using CW and SSB. PJ2/PH2M is active from Curacao until the 29th of June using mainly FT8 and some SSB. D4OL from Cape Verde is active on FT8 and FT4 until Friday the 22nd of June. Finally, look out for the FS/K9EL station from St Martin which is active until Wednesday the 24th of June. While we are in this period of Summer thunderstorms, a reminder that it may be a good idea to unplug the antennas from your HF radios when not in use. But make sure you do this before any storm approaches! Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will be in the 120 to 130 range. Quiet geomagnetic conditions are forecast all week, with a maximum Kp index of 3. But be aware of CMEs which are not easily predicted. Any solar flare and subsequent CME could upset the apple cart, so keep an eye on solarham.com for up-to-date news. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO There have been some very good Sporadic-E conditions recently. This was particularly true at 50MHz with openings at lunchtime and into the evening towards the USA on Tuesday the 9th and Wednesday the 10th. There was also an opening into Japan during the morning of Thursday the 11th of June. 70MHz has seen openings, mainly to eastern Europe and Spain. Notably we haven't seen much in the way of 144MHz Sporadic-E yet, but QSOs have been made by a lucky few. All this Sporadic-E activity has probably been aided by the extra long-lived metallic ions from meteors of the daytime Arietids, an important shower in early June.  The other ingredient often associated with Sporadic-E is the presence of jet streams, which are very effective at generating turbulence that can propagate up to the E region and aid Sporadic-E formation. The coming week looks to be reasonably set up with jet stream activity. This is probably more relevant for the northern half of Europe so may favour Scandinavia and the Baltic, with the occasional opportunity farther south. As for meteor scatter, there is a gap in the calendar and it's probably a case of relying upon random activity which tends to peak around dawn. Rain scatter may fare better with a chance of showers, especially in northern parts of the country. The solar conditions have recently been at the low end of the scale, with a Kp index between 1 and 3 which is typical of high summer. This also reduces the chances of radio auroras. There will be a period of high pressure today, the 14th, before low pressure returns to northern Britain next week, although the south may stay close to higher pressure. This offers a chance of some tropo conditions. EME now, and Moon declination continues to increase to a maximum tomorrow, the 15th, with path losses falling towards minimum at perigee. 144MHz sky temperature is moderate, becoming high tomorrow, the 15th, with the Sun close to the Moon, before falling back to low again from Wednesday. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Tras décadas de control e influencia en materia económica, política y militar, África Occidental se ha convertido en una región hostil para los intereses franceses. París no quiere —ni puede— desligarse de sus antiguas colonias, pero sí parece decidido a ampliar su red de influencia más allá de la Françafrique. La celebración de la Cumbre ‘África Adelante' en Nairobi a principios de mayo es el claro ejemplo de su política expansionista. Por eso, el último episodio de Larga Distancia antes del parón veraniego lo dedicamos a hablar de geopolítica y resistencia poscolonial, y lo hacemos de la mano de Moustapha Ady, miembro de la Red de Acción Panafricanista; Mariama Jadama, politóloga experta en estudios africanos y presidenta de la Red de Acción Panafricanista; Xavier Aldekoa, corresponsal en África y cofundador de Revista 5W; y Agus Morales, director de 5W.

A maximum of 5W of power can be used in this contest. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday, the 4th of June. We are awaiting the arrival of solar material as a result of three coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, that erupted off the Sun. These were sparked by three solar flares. These, coupled with a high-speed solar wind stream from an Earth-facing coronal hole, threaten to initiate a geomagnetic storm. A strong G3 geomagnetic storm has been predicted, which could push the Kp index up to 6 or 7, and push maximum usable frequencies down, perhaps lasting through the weekend and affecting RSGB National Field Day. Meanwhile, the solar flux index has crept up and stood at 147 on Thursday, the 4th of June. This has meant that the ionosphere has been playing ball, with lots of reports of DX being worked, either through F-region propagation or Sporadic E. The 10m band has been sounding like 20m at times, especially around the FT8 frequency of 28.074MHz. DX to be worked this week includes 5Z4/MM0ZBH in Kenya, 8Q7ML in the Maldives, VJ2L on Lord Howe Island, 5H1KB in Tanzania and 9X5KM operating from Rwanda. We are now heading for midsummer, which means the 20m band may be open 24 hours a day. In general, F-region maximum usable frequencies, or MUFs, will be lower than in the winter or spring. However, Sporadic-E makes up for that with strong signals on the higher HF bands out to 1,500km on a single hop, with occasional multi-hop openings. Next week NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will decline, perhaps into the 120 to 135 range. After the recent geomagnetic upset clears, conditions are predicted to stabilise, with the Kp index forecast to be around 2 for the beginning of the coming week. Unsettled geomagnetic conditions are then forecast from Thursday the 11th to Sunday the 14th with the potential for the Kp index to hit between 4 and 6, with a corresponding drop in the MUF. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The unsettled weather has brought some heavy rain and a few chances of rain scatter for the GHz bands, but it does also tend to limit the chances of tropo. However, it is the UK that retains the unsettled weather, whereas the continent is still enjoying relatively higher pressure. So perhaps stations in southern Britain may be able to gain some occasional tropo advantage. There are options for meteor scatter from the Arietids, which peak early this coming week. Some predict that it will be a strong shower this year. Since it's a daytime meteor shower, it can be very useful for Sporadic-E, which makes use of the ionisation they leave behind. The Kp index has been gently disturbed at times, but not enough to generate any exciting radio aurora. However, it has possibly been disturbed enough to subdue Sporadic-E at times, as this depends on a stable and low Kp index to be most effective. Sporadic-E itself has provided some reasonable European openings and a few longer multi-hop paths for the digital modes. This unsettled weather produces strong jet streams, for summer, and should continue to be useful for providing the turbulence needed as part of the process for making Sporadic-E.  The placement of the jet streams may, however, be confined to the northwestern fringe of Europe and perhaps prompt a focus on Scandinavia and northern Europe for any resulting Sporadic-E. EME now, and after last week's low declination and apogee, this week sees Moon declination increasing again and path losses falling. The 144MHz sky temperature is low all week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Synthetic motor oil is turning into the kind of “you'll miss it when it's gone” product nobody expects to worry about, and the early warning signs are already here. We react to reports that automakers and dealerships are rationing synthetic oil as Group III base oil supply tightens, and we talk through what that means for real owners who just want a normal oil change without breaking the bank. If your vehicle calls for specific viscosities like 5W-30 or 0W-20 or brand specs like Dexos, this is where planning and good records start to matter.From there, we hit fast-moving safety news, including a serious do-not-drive recall where front and rear wheels may lock up on a long list of GM trucks and SUVs, plus other recall notes that drivers should not ignore. Then we jump into our favorite kind of argument: auction results. We play “guess what it sold for” across everything from a mid-year Corvette and a Boss 302 to a Studebaker Land Cruiser and a Mercedes SL, capped by a 2019 Volkswagen Beetle that brings an eye-watering price.We wrap with the cruise-in and events calendar, Stellantis and Ram's pickup truck future, and two modern curveballs: a Tesla Cybertruck driven into Lake Grapevine using “Wade Mode,” and a real-world example of AI car buying tools like ChatGPT and Claude colliding with dealership pricing.

We think we're protecting our Porsches by keeping them tucked away, but we might actually be accelerating their demise. In this episode of ElevenAfterNine, I'm joined by Porsche Master Mechanic Joe Finkel from FCP Euro to debunk the myths of "garage queen" ownership.From the "stasis" trap of battery maintainers to the hidden dangers of winter idling, we break down exactly why these cars need to be exercised—and how to do it without causing catastrophic engine damage.In this episode, we cover:The Battery Myth: Why "floating" your battery might be killing the plates.The "B-Word": Does Bore Scoring actually affect the 997.2 and 991 generations?Cold Start Danger: Why idling in your driveway is the worst thing you can do for your cylinder walls.The 194° Rule: The specific temperature you MUST see before driving hard.The "Secret Sauce": Joe's specific oil and additive cocktail to keep bore scoring at bay.Connect with ElevenAfterNine:Main YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@ElevenAfterNinePodcast YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@ElevenAfterNinePodcastInstagram: @theelevenafternineBusiness & Consulting: ElevenAfterNine.comListen to the Audio Podcast:Apple Podcasts: Click HereSpotify: Click HereParts & Resources Mentioned:FCP Euro: https://www.fcpeuro.com (Home of the Lifetime Replacement Guarantee)Joe's Oil Recommendation: Driven DT40 or Amsoil 5W-50 + Liqui Moly MOS2Timestamps (Chapter Markers)00:00 – Welcome back to ElevenAfterNine 00:56 – Why Porsches "sit to death" 01:43 – The truth about battery maintainers and amperage 04:12 – The Winter Storage Debate: To start or not to start? 05:34 – How idling "bombs" your catalytic converters 06:15 – Cylinder Washout: How bore scoring starts in the garage 07:15 – The 194° (90°C) "Mash the Throttle" rule 08:29 – Don't "Lug" your engine: Proper hill-climbing technique 09:29 – Bore scoring on 997.2 and 991 engines (The MA01) 11:00 – The "Fingernail Test" vs. The Guitar Pick 14:06 – The 5W-50 "Secret Formula" for high-mileage Porsches 17:42 – Baselining your Porsche: Why trust no one Hosted on Acast.

Is the Baofeng GT-5R Handheld Radio a hidden gem or a risky gamble?

¿Cómo será el mundo en 2026? 5W se alía con CIDOB para dar una visión periodística y geopolítica sobre los temas que marcarán los próximos 12 meses.

Dive into the nitty-gritty of ham radio gear with our in-depth Baofeng UV-7B review! In this hands-on test, we measure the power output across VHF (144-148 MHz) and UHF (420-450 MHz) bands using professional RF equipment to reveal real-world performance—does it hit the advertised 5W max, or fall short under load? We also scrutinize spectral purity with a spectrum analyzer, checking for spurious emissions, harmonics, and sideband cleanliness to ensure FCC compliance and clean QSOs. Perfect for beginner hams, emergency comms enthusiasts, or anyone upgrading from the UV-5R series. Discover if the UV-7B's compact design, dual-band capability, and affordability make it a winner—or if quirks like modulation drift hold it back.Today's video is sponsored by M&P Coax - save 10% off of all of their products with code HR2CABLES at this link - https://geni.us/hr2cablesRadio link - https://geni.us/Vagi1Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ham-radio-2-0--2042782/support.

With sunny days ahead, we're working on more solar projects. One thing that comes up often is we need is a diode to keep the PV panel current only flowing into a charging circuit. Often times folks use a Schottky diode (https://www.digikey.com/short/b5d8495f) for their low forward voltage. But as you get to an Amp or more, you're still looking at a loss of 0.5V, or 0.5W and that number only goes up with higher currents! Thus the need for an 'ideal diode': we've already got a breakout for an ideal diode but it's only 5V max (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5830). Let's look for one that can handle higher voltages and at least an Amp of current.

Pese a los esfuerzos de organizaciones y ciudadanos por reducir la dependencia de las tierras raras, los datos muestran una realidad distinta. Según la Agencia Internacional de la Energía, la extracción de tierras raras no para de crecer. Entre 2017 y 2020, arrastrada por la demanda de las renovables, la producción aumentó un 85%, y las estimaciones sugieren que en los próximos años la tendencia siga al alza. Sus cifras crecen de modo exponencial. En 2022 se estimó que el mercado de los minerales para la transición energética alcanzó los 300.000 millones de dólares, el doble de lo que valían sólo cinco años antes. ¿Cuál será su valor en 2030? De Ucrania a Congo, de China a Madagascar. Los minerales configuran el nuevo tablero geopolítico. Por eso, el podcast de hoy lo dedicamos a entender por qué las tierras raras se han convertido en uno de los activos más codiciados. Lo hacemos con Claudia Custodio, investigadora en energía y clima del Observatorio de la Deuda en la Globalización; Xavier Aldekoa, periodista en África y cofundador de 5W; Víctor Burguete, investigador senior en el Área de Geopolítica Global y Seguridad de CIDOB, y Chiara Scalabrino, gerente de apoyo de compras sostenibles para Italia, España y Latinoamérica de TCO certified.

We've been putting a lot of I2S DACs in the shop, like the PCM5102 (https://www.digikey.com/short/fnf9t0b1) and TLV320DAC3100 (https://www.digikey.com/short/wj2d8w2h), and working on more like the PCM5122 (https://www.digikey.com/short/fnf9t0b1). What we'd really like is an I2S speaker amplifier that is preferably stereo and can do more than 5W—e.g., a cross between the MAX98357 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/3006) and MAX9744 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1752).

En la actualidad se produce un 60 por ciento más de lo que la humanidad necesita para alimentarse. Sin embargo, hay más de 700 millones de personas que pasan hambre. Las contradicciones de la comida parecen inagotables. Exploramos las paradojas de la comida a través del nuevo número en papel de Revista 5W, “Hambre”, que nos invita a recorrer el mundo para descubrir cómo nos relacionamos con la comida y con la falta de ella. Un recorrido junto a Agus Morales, director de 5W, y Anna Surinyach, su editora gráfica. Nos vamos a India con Laura Aragó, hablamos de semillas ancestrales con Ethel Bonet y hablamos también de la industria de los aditivos y ultraprocesados con Laura Villadiego. Nos despedimos con “Sopas con Ondas”, nuestra sección en colaboración con Acción contra el Hambre.

Las contradicciones de la comida son inagotables. Es una celebración de la gastronomía, de las expresiones culturales que acompañan a la comida en todos los rincones del planeta, de las especias, de la vida. A su vez, puede ser un arma de guerra o la mayor expresión de la desigualdad: en el mundo se produce un 60% más de lo que la humanidad necesita para alimentarse, pero hay 733 millones de personas que pasan hambre. El podcast de este mes lo dedicamos a la comida, y lo hacemos desgranando algunos de los temas del número 10 de la revista en papel de 5W —titulada precisamente así, ‘Comida'—, que los socios y socias recibirán en sus casas en las próximas semanas. Lo hacemos con el director de 5W, Agus Morales; las periodistas Ethel Bonet, Laura Villadiego y Laura Ferrero; el fundador de 5W y periodista en Oriente Medio, Mikel Ayestaran, y la fotoperiodista Lys Arango.

Desde que miles de personas se echasen a las calles de Siria en marzo de 2011 al calor de la Primavera Árabe, más de 500.000 personas han muerto —más de 160.000 son civiles—, y más de 130.000 han desaparecido, según el Observatorio Sirio para los Derechos Humanos. Las cifras, como ocurre en tantos otros conflictos, seguramente sean mayores. Durante todos estos años, el régimen de Asad ensambló un sistema de exterminio que comenzaba con arrestos arbitrarios a rebeldes o desertores, pero también a civiles de todo tipo. Cualquiera era susceptible de caer en las garras del Estado. Los detenidos eran torturados, no tanto para extraer información, sino para arrancar confesiones, muchas veces falsas para inculpar a personas o reconocer cualquier clase de delitos contra el régimen. Una vez conseguido el objetivo, eran trasladados a alguna prisión. Hosni Diab, uno de los protagonistas de este podcast, terminó en la que probablemente haya sido la más dura del régimen: Sednaya. Una cárcel que Amnistía Internacional definió en 2017 como un matadero humano. En el podcast de este mes nos adentraremos en los confines de una dictadura tan hermética como letal para entender no solo su caída, sino también los caminos y peligros que se abren en la era pos-Asad. Lo hacemos con Leila Nachawati, escritora y activista hispano-siria por los Derechos Humanos; Okba Mohammad, periodista sirio y cofundador de la revista Baynana, y Agus Morales, director de 5W.

El mundo de 2025 comienza con la vuelta de Donald Trump a la Casa Blanca, con una Europa mucho más fragmentada y, en consecuencia, más débil, con Ucrania sin saber si llegará a los tres años de conflicto y con Oriente Medio en un contexto de bombas y guerra. Ya no solo es Gaza, Cisjordania o Yemen: ahora también miramos hacia Líbano y Siria, que vuelven a acaparar los focos en un escenario sin el régimen de Bashar al Asad. El CIDOB (Barcelona Centre for International Affairs) publica, como cada año, un informe sobre los temas que marcarán el mundo en 2025. De ello hablamos en nuestro último podcast de 2024. Lo hacemos con Pol Morillas, director de CIDOB; Carme Colomina, investigadora sénior de CIDOB y coordinadora del informe “El mundo en 2025”; Carmen Claudín, investigadora sénior asociada de CIDOB; Pablo Rodríguez Suanzes, fundador de 5W y corresponsal en Washington; Mikel Ayestaran, fundador de 5W y periodista en Oriente Medio; Inés Arco, investigadora de CIDOB; Maribel Izcue, redactora jefa de 5W, y Agus Morales, director de 5W. Como siempre, un podcast de Raül Flores y Núria Jar. El montaje musical es de ROAD AUDIO.

Un mes después de que tuviera lugar la dana que azotó Valencia, las zonas afectadas por las inundaciones están lejos de volver a la normalidad. Mientras las tareas de limpieza continúan sin descanso, miles de niños y adolescentes siguen sin poder asistir a los centros educativos; al menos 48.000 viviendas han sido dañadas, algunas de ellas tendrán que ser demolidas; y, decenas de infraestructuras críticas como centros de salud, vías de transporte o redes de alcantarillado tardarán meses en ser rehabilitados por completo. Estas son solo algunas de las heridas que deja un fenómeno, el de las inundaciones, pero también el de los eventos climáticos extremos, que cada vez serán más frecuentes. Hoy recorremos el mundo para conocer algunas de las inundaciones más dañinas de los últimos años, para analizar las diferencias en la gestión y la respuesta ante esta clase de emergencias y para entender por qué cada vez será más recurrente ver imágenes como las que nos ha dejado Valencia en el último mes. Lo hacemos con Santi Palacios, fotoperiodista y fundador del medio especializado en crisis climática, Sonda Internacional; Marta Baraibar, experta en innovación y servicios climáticos en África de la Organización Meteorológica Mundial de Naciones Unidas; Patricia Simón, reportera, periodista de investigación y escritora, e Igor G. Barbero, cofundador de 5W, periodista y responsable de Comunicación de Médicos Sin Fronteras. Un podcast de Javier Sánchez. El montaje musical es de ROAD AUDIO.

Haití es un país olvidado entre los olvidados. Ubicado en la isla de La Española, en el corazón del Caribe, donde hace frontera con República Dominicana, Haití lleva años sumido en una espiral de violencia atroz. Con más de 11 millones de habitantes, es el país más pobre del Caribe y muy vulnerable a desastres naturales. El último gran ejemplo de ello fue el terremoto de 2010 que terminó con la vida de más de 200.000 personas y más de un millón y medio de desplazados.  Sin un Gobierno estable y con una policía superada tanto en número como en recursos, las pandillas controlan alrededor del 80% de la capital, Puerto Príncipe, y han expandido su dominio hacia la periferia. Según la ONU, solo durante el primer trimestre de este año 2.500 personas murieron o resultaron heridas como consecuencia de la violencia de las bandas armadas.  Comenzamos una nueva temporada del podcast de 5W abordando la crisis humanitaria en Haití y la respuesta de la comunidad internacional. Lo hacemos con Diego Da Rin, analista del International Crisis Group especializado en Haití; Álvaro de Vicente, Jefe de Ayuda Humanitaria de la UE en América Latina y el Caribe; Nathalye Cotrino, investigadora de la división de crisis, conflictos y armas de Human Rights Watch, y Sandrine Exil, periodista colombo-haitiana ubicada actualmente en Puerto Príncipe.

Las elecciones al Parlamento Europeo han dejado varios titulares. El primero es el auge de la ultraderecha —impulsada especialmente en Alemania y Francia—, que tendrá cerca del 18% de los escaños de la Eurocámara. A pesar de este aumento de los partidos euroescépticos, la alianza tradicional de populares, socialdemócratas y liberales resiste y mantiene la mayoría. El Partido Popular Europeo (PPE) ganó las elecciones con 186 escaños, seguido de los Socialistas y Demócratas (S&D) con 135 y los liberales (Renew) con 79. Por su parte, las fuerzas ultraderechistas sumarán 131 escaños, y los Verdes, 53. Tras conocerse estos resultados provisionales, la actual presidenta de la Comisión Europea y candidata del PPE, Ursula von der Leyen, pidió a los partidos europeístas construir "el bastión contra los extremos de la derecha y de la izquierda". En el podcast de este mes analizamos los resultados de las elecciones europeas con Josep Ramoneda, periodista, filósofo y escritor; Anna Bosch, periodista de TVE y excorresponsal en Estados Unidos; Viviane Ogou, especialista en relaciones entre la Unión Europea, África y el Sahel; Jaume Duch, portavoz y director general de Comunicación del Parlamento Europeo; Pablo R. Suanzes, fundador de 5W y corresponsal en Bruselas, y Agus Morales, director de 5W. Como siempre, un podcast de Raül Flores y Núria Jar. El montaje musical es de ROAD AUDIO. Este podcast nace de una colaboración con la Oficina de Parlamento Europeo en Barcelona.
