 Across Europe, far-right movements are gaining ground. By normalising nationalist rhetoric and challenging democratic institutions, these parties raise comparisons with former periods of fascism on the continent. Between 1943 and 1945, when Nazi forces occupied northern Italy, ordinary people in towns and villages across the country took up arms against fascism in one of Europe's largest resistance movements. Now, 80 years later, in many of these same towns, anti-fascist sentiment remains unusually strong. In this episode, we speak to political scientist Juan Masullo at Leiden University, who's been finding out about the enduring legacy of these partisan movements. This episode was hosted by Gemma Ware and written and produced by Mend Mariwany. Sound design and mixing by Eloise Stevens and theme music by Neeta Sarl.

The announcement by the Dalai Lama that he will have a reincarnated successor when he dies – and that his foundation along will identify the next leader of Tibetan Buddhism – is a major challenge to China, which occupies Tibet. It's also a challenge to the Trump administration, according to a former official. Randall Schriver served as Assistant Secretary of Defence. He says respecting the Dalai Lama's decision will test Donald Trump's commitment to religious freedom.Across Europe, governments are cracking down on clergy associated with the Russian Orthodox Church, accusing them of being propagandists, even spies for the Putin regime. Ukraine has stripped citizenship from the head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, saying he answers to Moscow. Estonia has just passed a law forcing the local Orthodox to cut ties with Russia. It's also accused a group of nuns of spying. Just how deep does suspicion of the church run? He was the charismatic preacher in the sharp suit and flashy car, who preached personal purity – until he came undone in a sex scandal. Jimmy Swaggart was a global institution in the 1980s. He died a few days ago. GUESTS:RANDALL SCHRIVER served as Assistant Secretary of Defence in the Trump administration and Deputy Secretary of State in the Bush administration.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Adam Gilchrist for a look at the biggest global stories making headlines. Today’s viral stories are equal parts shocking, spiritual, and out-of-this-world. First, horror in Mexico as dozens of unburied bodies are discovered piled up at an abandoned crematorium, raising urgent questions about neglect and dignity in death. Then, a rare moment of global curiosity: the Dalai Lama has sparked debate about who will succeed him and whether China will try to control the process. And finally, something a little lighter, French astronaut Thomas Pesquet took fine dining to new heights with a gourmet meal in space, proving that even in orbit, the French will eat well.

Global markets saw a mix of optimism and caution on Tuesday. The S&P 500 rose for a third consecutive session, buoyed by renewed hopes for progress in US-China trade talks, while US small business sentiment improved for the first time this year. In Asia, Taiwan semiconductor stocks surged, driven by a strong revenue boost. Meanwhile, in the US, J.M. Smucker shares tumbled, marking their steepest drop in nearly 40 years as tariffs weighed heavily on profits. Across Europe, markets were mixed, though UK shares edged closer to record highs despite a slowdown in wage growth. Closer to home, the ASX 200 is poised to break above 8,600 points on Wednesday, setting up a potential fresh record high as local momentum continues to build.

Later in the show—amid ongoing concerns about Russian aggression and whether the EU can rely on the U.S. as a military deterrent, French President Emmanuel Macron has said he is open to deploying his country's nuclear weapons to other European countries.

In the final episode of our series, the ancient walls of Constantinople crumble—and with them, the last heartbeat of the Roman Empire. Sultan Mehmet II launches his all-or-nothing assault: cannon fire splits the dawn, smoke cloaks the ramparts, and waves of Ottoman soldiers pour through the shattered defenses. Amid the chaos, Emperor Constantine XI refuses to flee. Across Europe, the fall sends shockwaves—stirring panic, calls for crusade, and a growing awareness that the Eastern Roman Empire, after more than a thousand years, had finally drawn its last breath. The epic conclusion to our three-part series on the greatest siege in history. ⁠Help support the show on Patreon!⁠ ⁠Sources and Attributions on our website. ‘Heroic Opportunities' audiofile has been purchased under the Online License from SoundCritters Learn more about your ad choices.

Wednesday, October 29, 2008Friday nights are—after Thursdays—my favorite day of the week. I always let out a big sigh of relief when Friday rolls around, especially after an uneventful week.After five days of school runs, endless soccer practices, and a tightly packed schedule of pickups and drop-offs, I relish the freedom of the weekend. On Saturdays and Sundays, it doesn't matter if lunch is at noon or 1:30—what a luxury.Friday evenings feel like the perfect moment to celebrate making it through another week. I love to gather a few friends for a cozy dinner at home. If I had my way, I'd have a standing reservation—right at my own table.Across Europe, there's a revival of old-fashioned, comforting recipes. In Spain, they call it la cocina pobre—"cuisine of the poor." But don't be misled by the name—these dishes are soul-warming, full of flavor, and would be just as fitting served on silver platters and linen-covered tables. I love blending high and low: simple ingredients, easy techniques, and elegant presentation. It's my favorite style of cooking.Here's my go-to Friday night supper: comforting, unfussy, and easy to prep the day before. I used to avoid marinating overnight—always preferring spur-of-the-moment meals—but life has taught me to embrace a little planning. Prepping while I'm already in the kitchen saves time and adds so much flavor. The payoff is real.The star of this meal is chicken marinated in beer, then cooked in a rich beer and tomato sauce. Don't worry—the alcohol cooks off, so it's kid-friendly and perfect for a weeknight meal, too.I pair it with “Poor Man's Potatoes,” a Spanish-style hash that soaks up all the juices. Add a simple green salad and a steamed veggie, and dinner is done.For dessert, I serve a classic Lemon Sponge Cake with a sweet wine sauce. Pedro Ximénez, made from a luscious grape of the same name, is transformed into a rich syrup when heated with sugar and water. The cake works in any pan—round, loaf, or square. It's delightfully forgiving.To serve, I use rustic brown cazuelas and wooden spoons to keep the feel cozy and casual. The visual continuity makes the whole spread feel cohesive and warm.On Thursday afternoon, I prep the chicken and marinade, pop it in the fridge, and bake the sponge cake—tucking it away in a high cupboard to keep it safe from sneaky snackers.Come Friday, all that's left is to bake the chicken (hands-off in the oven), cook the potatoes (about 45 minutes), and warm the dessert sauce. Easy.For casual dinners, I skip the first-course salad and serve greens with the main. One generous plate keeps the conversation going—no interruptions. One type of wine is all I need: a light red Côtes du Rhône that pairs beautifully with the hearty chicken.This week, I've set the table in the library using my favorite country-inspired colors. brown and white—a timeless combo that complements any setting. The centerpiece is simple: a wooden bowl filled with pomegranates. It doubles as our salad bowl, weathered and glowing with years of use. Keeping the menu simple means I get to do what I love most: sit with my friends, unwind, and toast the week with a well-earned glass of wine.Chicken in Beer(Pollo a la Cerveza)* 12-ounce bottle of beer (lager) * 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard* 1 teaspoon pimenton (paprika)* 2 cups diced yellow onions* 2 garlic cloves* 3 pounds chicken pieces with skin on (legs, thighs and breasts cut into even pieces) * 2 tablespoons olive oil* 1 green pepper, diced* 1 red pepper, diced* 1 yellow pepper, diced* 14-ounce can of chopped tomatoes * Salt and pepperIn a bowl large enough to fit the chicken, combine the beer, Dijon mustard, pimenton, 1 cup of onions, 1 clove of garlic and a large pinch of salt.

Spanish activist Isabel Peralta sentenced for speaking out. Germany's AFD surges despite total censorship. Across Europe, native voices are being silenced as mass migration policies clash with free speech — and the EU takes a turn toward totalitarian control. From Spain to Scotland, and now to Germany, ordinary citizens are being punished for political dissent. Is this the new Iron Curtain? And what does NATO's role look like when the threat to freedom comes from within? This episode breaks down the latest censorship crackdowns, the AFD's unlikely rise, and the globalist agenda driving it all — with a glimmer of hope on the horizon.

Across Europe, the walls are closing in. In Spain, activist Isabel Peralta is sentenced for speaking the truth about migrant violence. In Germany, the surging AFD is punished for rising in the polls. In Norway, peaceful protesters are investigated like criminals. From the UK's online speech police to Scotland's snitch kiosks, this is not the Europe you knew — it's the EU-SSR. NATO was built to fight the old USSR, but now Brussels is pushing censorship, silencing dissent, and criminalizing patriotism. And the worst part? American elites want to import the same model. This is the battle for the future of the West — and it's only just beginning.

Last week, French opposition leader in the national parliament, Marine le Pen, was found guilty of helping to embezzle €4m of EU funds for use by her party. Alongside a four year sentence, le pen was also barred from running from public office with immediate effect. Over the weekend, le Pen called the ruling political and not judicial. So what effect will the sentence have on the far right in France and across Europe? Political Analyst and Associate Research Fellow at IRIS, The French Institute for International and Strategic Affairs Jean-Yves Camus joins us to discuss.

Henry VIII is infamous for his obsessive quest for a male heir—but he was far from the only Renaissance monarch haunted by fertility struggles. Across Europe, kings faced intense pressure to produce sons, especially in France, where Salic law strictly required male succession. From Louis XII's desperate annulment and Anne of Brittany's heartbreaking losses, to Catherine de' Medici's decade-long battle with infertility, this episode explores how fertility issues shaped royal marriages, alliances, and even wars. Discover how these intimate struggles in royal bedchambers changed the political landscape of Europe forever.https://www.englandcast.com/springbreak2025 for information on the Spring Break adventure.

Edition No82 | 17-01-2025 - Russia is a terrorist state. We've been saying this for three years on the channel. But Russia constantly reminds of this fact. The latest is an allegation that Russia plotted terror attacks on airlines around the world. According to Polish PM, Donald Tusk this bombshell news has come from US intelligence sources. "I can only confirm that Russia planned acts of air terror, not just against Poland but against airlines across the globe," said Tusk during a meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. ---------- At relatively short notice, we're organising two events in Ukraine in the last week of January. Lviv (part 2) and Kyiv. The event we ran in August 2023 was a huge success, and had a great impact. Now our aim is even more ambitious. Two cities. Two events. Multiple panels consisting of the best experts, and all filmed in high definition for the channel. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras But it costs. Last time the overall cost was £3,500 for Live in Lviv, and we covered 80% of this through ticket sales. This time the costs are higher, and there's less opportunity to sell tickets at the available venues and studios, so I'm creating a campaign to raise £5,000 to make this trip a reality. We also have a much more ambitious programme to film interviews around Kyiv and Lviv for the channel. This project will have an impact, so please help if you can. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- U.S. intelligence warned the White House that Russia was planning to smuggle incendiary devices onto cargo planes heading to the US. This sounds very similar to the devices apparently planted on DHL delivery places, that are alleged to have caused two warehouse fires. According to The New York Times report The White House, warned the Kremlin to stop the operation. Tusk did not provide details to underpin the allegation, but it was felt serious enough to put his reputation on the line by stating it emphatically, in public, and in the full glare of the world's press, given that he was with Zelenskyy at the time. "All I can say, and I will not go into details, but I can confirm the validity of these fears," said Tusk. ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- NEWS SOURCES: https://www.politico.eu/article/russia-planned-terror-attacks-airlines-around-world-donald-tusk-says/ https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/russia-planned-acts-of-terror-in-the-air-polands-tusk-says/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy4717j21kko https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/azerbaijan-airlines-flight-was-downed-by-russian-air-defence-system-four-sources-2024-12-26/ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/paris-olympics-train-vandalism-cause-b2586422.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13675809/French-train-arson-Putins-new-terror-tactic.html ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Dennis Prager Talks to Author of The New Concise History of the Crusades, Professor Thomas F. Madden The New Concise History of the Crusades (Critical Issues in World and International History) Paperback – Student Edition, November 10, 2005 by Thomas F. Madden (Author) See all formats and editions How have the crusades contributed to Islamist rage and terrorism today? Were the crusades the Christian equivalent of modern jihad? In this sweeping yet crisp history, Thomas F. Madden offers a brilliant and compelling narrative of the crusades and their contemporary relevance. With a cry of "God wills it!" medieval knights ushered in a new era in European history. Across Europe a wave of pious enthusiasm led many thousands to leave their homes, family, and friends to march to distant lands in a great struggle for Christ. Yet the crusades were more than simply a holy war. They represent a synthesis of attitudes and values that were uniquely medieval--so medieval, in fact, that the crusading movement is rarely understood today. Placing all the major crusades within the medieval social, economic, religious, and intellectual environments that gave birth to the movement and nurtured it for centuries, Madden brings the distant medieval world vividly to life. From Palestine and Europe's farthest reaches, each crusade is recounted in a clear, concise narrative. The author gives special attention as well to the crusades' effects on the Islamic world and the Christian Byzantine East. More information is available on the author's website.
