Nicolás Maduro beskrivs som en diktator. Han riggar val och har kört Venezuelas ekonomi i botten. Över Venezuela ruvar nu ett hot om en amerikansk invasion. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. När Venezuelas president Hugo Chávez dör 2013 har han redan utsett sin efterträdare – den då 50-årige utrikesministern Nicolás Maduro. Maduro ger ett vagt löfte om att fortsätta Chávez socialistiska reformprojekt, ett löfte som han får svårt att infria. Trots en av världens största råoljereserver är Venezuela ett land med en ekonomi i fritt fall som åtta miljoner venezuelaner har lämnat. Efter ett decennium som president klamrar sig Maduro fast vid makten trots protester, anklagelser om valfusk och internationella påtryckningar. Inte minst från USA som har förtöjt sitt största hangarfartyg utanför landets kust. Hösten 2025 bombas flera båtar som påstås ha transportera narkotika, med över 80 döda. USA har utlyst en belöning för den som kan bidra med information som leder till att Maduro grips till 50 miljoner dollar, samtidigt som hotet om en amerikansk invasion drar över Venezuela.

More slop but hey it's detailed. That's nice. 00:25 – Hanukkah, Bondi and a terror attackJoel (Jack the Insider) opens the Christmas‑eve episode by recounting the Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach that turned into a mass‑shooting, with 16 dead including Holocaust survivor Alex Kleitman and 10‑year‑old Matilda.​He notes that one gunman, Sajid Akram, was killed and his son Naveed faces 59 charges including 15 murders and a terrorism offence, while funerals proceed under a cloud of grief.​02:05 – Anti‑Semitic threats and the rise of Jew hatredThe Jacks detail an anti‑Semitic threat on a Virgin Australia flight from Denpasar to Sydney, where a 19‑year‑old allegedly made violent gestures and threats toward a Jewish passenger.​They discuss how contemporary anti‑Semitism in Australia and the West feels broader and deeper than before, increasingly visible on progressive and left‑wing fringes as well as the far right.​04:55 – Jenny Leong's “tentacles” remark and Greens politicsJoel quotes NSW Greens MLC Jenny Leong's 2023 comments about the “Jewish lobby” and “Zionist lobby” having “tentacles” infiltrating community groups, likening the rhetoric to classic Nazi tropes in Der Stürmer.​Jack notes Leong is part of NSW's hard‑left “watermelon” Greens and argues such language shows how anti‑Jewish narratives have crept into mainstream progressive politics in Australia, the UK and the US.​07:25 – Apologies, anti‑Zionism and the limits of definitionsThey note Leong apologised two months later for “poor choice of words” with anti‑Semitic implications, but Joel says the tentacle imagery hung “like a bad smell” over public debate.​The Jacks criticise semantic wrangling over definitions of anti‑Semitism and suggest calling much of it what it plainly is: old‑fashioned Jew hatred, often masked as anti‑Zionism.​10:25 – Who failed after 7 October? Government responses under fireJack argues federal and state leaders failed from “October 8th on” by not responding strongly enough to anti‑Jewish rhetoric and protests, suggesting Labor tried to balance Jewish concerns against Western Sydney Muslim votes.​Joel pushes back, citing Sean Carney's column outlining how Naveed Akram's jihadist associations, ASIO assessments and gun‑licence decisions date back to the Morrison/Dutton era and pre‑Albanese security failures.​13:55 – ASIO, gun licensing and unanswered questionsThe Jacks highlight ASIO's prior knowledge of Naveed's extremist links and question how Sajid Akram obtained a semi‑automatic shotgun with only an AB licence when B/C categories are needed for that weapon.​They call for frank explanations from ASIO and NSW firearms licensing about assessments, paper trails and whether bureaucratic or resourcing failures allowed Akram to amass an arsenal worth around $30,000.​17:55 – Under‑resourced counter‑terror units and a fearful Jewish communityJoel cites a retired AFP counter‑terror investigator who says counter‑terror units are stacked with officers fresh out of the academy instead of seasoned detectives.​Jack reflects on three decades of Jewish institutions in Sydney's east needing armed guards, and shares conversations with Jewish friends who now quietly contemplate leaving Australia because they no longer feel safe.​20:35 – “Don't bring your old hatreds here”The Jacks trace anti‑Jewish attacks in Sydney back to the 1982 Hakoah Club car bombing and the simultaneous attack on the Israeli consulate, arguing Jewish Australians have lived with this threat for over 40 years.​They say successive governments failed to hammer home a core Australian expectation: migrants must not import centuries‑old religious or ethnic hatreds into their new home.​23:05 – Segal anti‑Semitism strategy and hate‑speech lawsThey briefly canvass the Gillian Segal anti‑Semitism strategy; Jack dismisses it as “word salad” and window dressing, while Joel notes the government has been slow to act on its recommendations.​On hate‑speech laws, Jack argues bans on offensive political opinions tend to drive hatred underground and make it more dangerous, but both agree incitement to violence must remain a prosecutable offence, possibly with updated legislation.​26:00 – Policing protests and the limits of crowd controlThe Jacks explain why police sometimes tolerate ugly slogans at protests: wading in for arrests can inflame crowds that already vastly outnumber officers.​They stress the need to balance immediate public safety and officer safety with the longer‑term risk that demonstrators feel they can incite hatred with impunity.​29:00 – Bondi's stain and its heroesJoel laments that Bondi Beach, an iconic Australian destination, will now always be associated with a massacre, describing a moment of nausea as the death toll climbed on that Sunday night.​Jack reminisces about Bondi's 1990s mix of Kiwis, working‑class locals and a relaxed Jewish presence, and fears that openness has been permanently damaged.​32:05 – Old‑school cop and a Syrian‑Australian heroThey praise the middle‑aged, tie‑wearing NSW officer who initiated the “beginning of the end” of the attack and commend off‑duty police who rushed to Bondi and threw on uniforms.​Joel celebrates North Bondi tobacconist Al Ahmad, a Syrian‑born resident who tackled the gunman with astonishing courage, noting he now seems certain to receive Australian citizenship along with his parents.​35:10 – Patrol strength, long guns and local station realitiesThe Jacks relay reports that only three officers were on duty at Bondi police station, which Joel describes as a relatively minor station compared to Rose Bay or Maroubra.​They question why frontline police responding to long‑gun threats were not issued rifles of their own and suggest NSW should review access to long arms for first responders in high‑risk scenarios.​38:00 – Multiculturalism, old enmities and what really matters nextJack argues that, in an immigrant nation, the most important response is cultural: reinstilling the norm that old tribal feuds must be left behind, not accommodated.​Joel agrees this message should be central in citizenship education and public rhetoric, more important than technocratic hate‑speech tweaks or reactive gun‑law posturing.​42:05 – National Cabinet, ASIO and the demand for competenceThey criticise the National Cabinet's muted post‑Bondi meeting, which produced little beyond talk, and suggest the Prime Minister's cautious style leaves a leadership vacuum in national crises.​The Jacks insist Australians accept that security agencies cannot be omniscient, but say they must be properly resourced, competent and transparent when they make mistakes.​45:25 – Around the world: headscarves, condoms, climate and Reddit vs CanberraThe Jacks whip around global headlines: Austria's ban on headscarves for under‑14s, China's 13% tax on condoms and contraceptives to boost fertility, Denmark listing the US as a security risk, and the US government quietly deleting “fossil fuels” as a named cause of climate change from official websites.​They note Reddit's legal challenge to Australia's under‑16 social media ban and question whether Reddit is the ideal platform to front that fight given its often unpoliced content.​47:35 – Venezuela, the ICC and the limits of international lawVenezuela moves to withdraw from the International Criminal Court as investigations into alleged Maduro‑regime crimes against humanity advance.​Jack says the episode encapsulates international law's limits: states happily sign the Rome Statute until it becomes inconvenient, then walk away.​48:55 – Ireland rearms and Russia blocks “unfriendly” callsIreland announces a 55 per cent jump in defence spending to protect undersea data cables and deter drones, reflecting its geostrategic importance as a trans‑Atlantic communications hub.​Russia, meanwhile, moves to block incoming calls from “unfriendly” states; the Jacks mock the performative toughness and note how easily scammers will route around any such ban.​51:15 – Rob Reiner's murder and a towering film legacyThey react with shock to the murder of legendary director Rob Reiner and his wife, allegedly by Reiner's troubled son, whose earlier violence was itself the subject of a film.​Jack runs through Reiner's extraordinary run—This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, Stand By Me, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men—and argues that if you'd made only those, you'd still have had a remarkable career.​54:45 – “This one goes to 11” and Trump's gracelessnessThe Jacks recall how Spinal Tap helped invent the mockumentary form and embedded lines like “this one goes to 11” into pop‑culture vocabulary.​They condemn Donald Trump's statement calling Reiner “a terrible human being” after his death, with conservative actor James Woods publicly rebuking Trump and praising Reiner's personal kindness despite political differences.​57:40 – Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks and comedy royaltyJoel outlines Rob Reiner's upbringing in a house full of comedic giants, with father Carl Reiner and close friend Mel Brooks holding weekly movie nights together well into old age, as captured in Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.​They reminisce about Carl and Mel's influence on Jewish humour and lament the passing of a generation of comic geniuses.​01:01:05 – EVs, hybrids and a Two Jacks lunch betThe Jacks revisit their running argument over electric vehicles, prompted by Ford CEO Jim Farley's plan to pivot the F‑150 towards hybrids instead of pure EVs.​Joel, a hybrid owner, sees hybrids as a transition technology in countries like Australia where fast‑charge infrastructure is patchy; he cites global EV sales rising to roughly 18–20 per cent of new car sales in 2025, with internal‑combustion shares steadily shrinking.​01:03:05 – Charging reality vs theory in AustraliaJoel recounts his in‑laws' BMW EV trip from central Victoria to Sydney using free or cheap NRMA/RACV chargers, but notes fast chargers are often the first to break or get switched off by retailers facing high electricity costs.​They swap anecdotes about BYD and Chinese Maxus taxis—fast‑improving but sometimes uncomfortable—and admit they can no longer remember the exact terms of their EV lunch wager, though Joel insists Jack owes him.​01:06:10 – Worst political year: Trump, Macron, Starmer, Albanese, Li, PutinThe Jacks playfully debate which leader had the worst year—Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Anthony Albanese, Chinese Premier Li or Vladimir Putin.​They characterise Albanese as the “Stephen Bradbury” of Australian politics, a cautious survivor whose luck and endurance have mattered as much as brilliance.​01:18:40 – Ashes update: England's fragile top orderIn a late segment, they revisit England's Ashes woes: repeated collapses leaving them three‑for‑not‑many and a top three of Crawley, Duckett and Pope exposing the middle order to the new ball.​Joel notes England dropped a bowler as a scapegoat while leaving the misfiring batting unchanged, and questions how long they can justify Ollie Pope at three ahead of the more solid Will Jacks.​01:21:15 – Hong Kong racing, Kooring Rising and Japanese fanboy jockeysJack describes Hong Kong's International Racing Day—four Group 1s and 80,000 people—and the rise of sprinter Kooring Rising, winner of The Everest and now on a long winning streak.​He shares footage from Japan's Nakayama track where every jockey stopped circling and sat still so they could watch Kooring Rising's race on the big screen, a measure of the horse's star power.​01:23:00 – Listener mail, Howard's gun laws and the Shooters lobbyJoel reads a note from listener Ray pointing out that 300 legally obtained guns are still attributed to “Howard's gun laws”, reminding listeners gun‑law reform was necessary but later watered down under pressure from the Shooters and Fishers political lobby.​01:24:00 – Christmas, loneliness and a surprise lunch guestThe Jacks close with Christmas reflections: acknowledging how joyful and stressful the season can be, especially for those who are lonely or estranged from family.​Joel recalls his mother inviting a homeless man to Christmas lunch—an act of charity met with teenage grumbling from him and his brother—and urges listeners to look out for those doing it tough without necessarily going to that extreme.​01:25:45 – Holiday plans and the show's return in JanuaryJack outlines Hanukkah parties and family Christmas plans in Hong Kong, while Joel describes a quieter Highlands Christmas with a Boxing Day visit from the grandkids.​They thank listeners for their support through 2025, wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and promise to return in the second week of January after a short break.​00:25 – Hanukkah, Bondi and a terror attackJoel (Jack the Insider) opens the Christmas‑eve episode by recounting the Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach that turned into a mass‑shooting, with 16 dead including Holocaust survivor Alex Kleitman and 10‑year‑old Matilda.​He notes that one gunman, Sajid Akram, was killed and his son Naveed faces 59 charges including 15 murders and a terrorism offence, while funerals proceed under a cloud of grief.​02:05 – Anti‑Semitic threats and the rise of Jew hatredThe Jacks detail an anti‑Semitic threat on a Virgin Australia flight from Denpasar to Sydney, where a 19‑year‑old allegedly made violent gestures and threats toward a Jewish passenger.​They discuss how contemporary anti‑Semitism in Australia and the West feels broader and deeper than before, increasingly visible on progressive and left‑wing fringes as well as the far right.​04:55 – Jenny Leong's “tentacles” remark and Greens politicsJoel quotes NSW Greens MLC Jenny Leong's 2023 comments about the “Jewish lobby” and “Zionist lobby” having “tentacles” infiltrating community groups, likening the rhetoric to classic Nazi tropes in Der Stürmer.​Jack notes Leong is part of NSW's hard‑left “watermelon” Greens and argues such language shows how anti‑Jewish narratives have crept into mainstream progressive politics in Australia, the UK and the US.​07:25 – Apologies, anti‑Zionism and the limits of definitionsThey note Leong apologised two months later for “poor choice of words” with anti‑Semitic implications, but Joel says the tentacle imagery hung “like a bad smell” over public debate.​The Jacks criticise semantic wrangling over definitions of anti‑Semitism and suggest calling much of it what it plainly is: old‑fashioned Jew hatred, often masked as anti‑Zionism.​10:25 – Who failed after 7 October?

Trois ans après le meurtre de Ghislaine Marchal, le procès d'Omar Raddad s'ouvre dans une atmosphère électrique. Entre un accusé fragilisé, des avocats stars qui dynamitent la procédure, un président de cour aux propos empreints d'un racisme ordinaire et des témoins qui tentent tant bien que mal de dresser les portraits de l'accusé et de la victime, le procès repose sur beaucoup d'incertitudes. L'accusation s'accroche au message de dénonciation comme preuve irréfutable, tandis que la défense démonte un dossier rempli de zones grises. À la veille du verdict, les jurés sont face à une question vertigineuse : peuvent-ils condamner un homme sur une inscription dont personne ne comprend vraiment l'origine ?Un podcast écrit par Mary-Lou Oeconomou - Raconté par Xavier LemarchandRestauration et Mixage : Stéphane Rives - Prise de son : Guillaume Solignat, Laurent Thomas - Unité de production : Delphine Lambard, Sophie Hériat, Sophie Da Costa - Création graphique : Ugo Bouveron.Musique(s) : Universal Production Music France.

Rozhovory o ukončení ruské agrese na Ukrajině pokračují. Vyjednavači USA a Ruska budou o víkendu jednat v Miami. Lídři EU mezitím rozhodují, jak Kyjev dál podpoří. Bude to něco znamenat pro další vývoj konfliktu?Hostem Ptám se já byl bývalý generální konzul v Petrohradě a zahraničně-politický analytik Pirátů Vladimír Votápek.Další kolo jednání o možnostem dosažení míru na Ukrajině potvrdil podle agentury AFP zástupce Bílého domu. K jednání v Miami mezi americkou a ruskou stranu má dojít poté, co v pondělí v Berlíně skončily dvoudenní rozhovory ukrajinské a americké delegace. Americký prezident Donald Trump následně prohlásil, že dohoda u ukončení rusko-ukrajinské války nikdy nebyla tak blízko.Schůzky se zúčastnil i ukrajinský prezident Volodymyr Zelenskyj. Ten ale vedl, že současný návrh na ukončení války je stále jen pracovní verzí a Kyjev neuzná Donbas jako ruský.  Upozornil také, že Rusko se připravuje na další rok válčení v roce 2026 a požádal o co největší evropskou podporu. Evropští spojenci Ukrajinců v pondělí v Berlíně uvedli, že USA a evropské země hodlají napadené zemi poskytnout robustní bezpečnostní záruky a další podporu pro hospodářskou obnovu země. Dnes se v Bruselu zároveň schází lídři zemí sedmadvacítky na klíčovém summitu, aby probrali, jakým způsobem dál řešit finanční pomoc Ukrajiny. Rusko v reakci na účast evropských zástupců na berlínských jednáních o míru uvedlo, že zapojení Evropanů zřejmě nepřinese pro Moskvu přijatelné výsledky. Kreml dlouhodobě obviňuje evropské země, že se snaží podkopávat Trumpovy snahy dosáhnout míru na Ukrajině - například evropští představitelé totiž opakují, že s jakýmkoliv budoucím uspořádáním musí souhlasit především bránící se Kyjev. Ukrajina a Rusko mezitím pokračují ve vzájemných útocích. Válku rozpoutalo Rusko na rozkaz vládce Vladimira Putina v únoru 2022. Jak daleko je v tuto chvíli dohoda o míru na Ukrajině? Zvládne na sebe Evropa vzít zodpovědnost za další chod války a držet Ukrajinu nad vodou? A jak vážně brát výroky Moskvy o tom, že chce vrátit uspořádání světa před rozšíření NATO o země střední Evropy?--Podcast Ptám se já.

Nightlife News Breakdown with Philip Clark, joined by Ron Mizen, Senior Political Reporter for the Australian Financial Review, who covers politics, economics, business and law.

This week, the EV Café team goes live at Fleet Mobility Live with a very special guest: Dale Eynon, former Head of Fleet at the Environment Agency and now a semi-retired consultant, passionate environmentalist, and mentor to the next generation of fleet leaders.   With over 20 years' experience managing 10,000+ diverse assets—from cars, vans and HGVs to marine vessels and heavy plant—Dale shares his journey from incident management into fleet, and the steep learning curve that followed. He reflects on:   The evolution of electric fleets – from early Nissan Leafs and Mitsubishi i-MiEvs to today's 500-mile EVs   Winning hearts and minds to accelerate EV adoption and break down early myths   The van and 4x4 challenge – why rural operations, towing, and depot-free fleets remain one of the final frontiers for electrification   The power of BIK incentives and TCO modelling in driving fleet transitions   Culture, people, and resilience – key lessons from leading through change   Dale also opens up about his “semi-early retirement”, his love of low-carbon travel, and his commitment to supporting the next generation of fleet professionals through the AFP and industry mentorship.   If you want insight from someone who's seen it all in the shift to zero emissions—and still believes the best is yet to come—this episode is for you.   Dale Eynon (LinkedIn) https://www.linkedin.com/in/dale-eynon-252a644

24 juin 1991, dans les collines paisibles de Mougins, la tranquillité est subitement brisée par la découverte du corps d'une jeune retraitée, Ghislaine Marchal, assassinée dans sa villa. Sur le mur, un message glaçant écrit avec son sang : « Omar m'a tuer ». Très vite, le jardinier Omar Raddad devient le suspect principal. Mais entre son alibi solide, l'absence de preuves matérielles et une scène de crime qui semble trop parfaite pour être vraie, les premiers doutes s'installent. Dans ce premier épisode, retour sur la découverte d'un crime qui va bouleverser une nation entière.Un podcast écrit par Mary-Lou Oeconomou - Raconté par Xavier LemarchandRestauration et Mixage : Stéphane Rives - Prise de son : Guillaume Solignat, Laurent Thomas - Unité de production : Delphine Lambard, Sophie Hériat, Sophie Da Costa - Création graphique : Ugo Bouveron.Musique(s) : Universal Production Music France.

Il a 28 ans, il est jardinier, discret, père de famille et parle mal le français. Omar Raddad, immigré marocain, est arrêté le 25 juin 1991 et devient le coupable idéal. Pourtant, aucune empreinte, aucune arme, aucun témoin. Juste une inscription qui désigne son nom, Omar. Malgré une enquête que la défense juge bâclée et partiale, Omar Raddad sera jugé par la cour d'assises en janvier 1994. Une décision qui laisse perplexe. Comment ce jeune jardinier sans histoire, apprécié de ses employeurs, s'est-il retrouvé au cœur d'une affaire criminelle d'une telle ampleur ? Un podcast écrit par Mary-Lou Oeconomou - Raconté par Xavier LemarchandRestauration et Mixage : Stéphane Rives - Prise de son : Guillaume Solignat, Laurent Thomas - Unité de production : Delphine Lambard, Sophie Hériat, Sophie Da Costa - Création graphique : Ugo Bouveron.Musique(s) : Universal Production Music France.

Bundespräsident Steinmeier ist zum Staatsbesuch in Großbritannien. Meine Tageszeitung zeigt ihn auf einem Foto von AFP bei der Begrüßung durch ein Bataillon. Die Köpfe der angetretenen Soldaten sind mit Bärenfell-Mützen bedeckt; außerdem mit gefährlich ausschauenden Gewehren mit scharfen aufgepflanzten Bajonetten ausgestattet. Einen solch undemokratischen Stuss macht unser Staatsoberhaupt mit. Das kommt der Verherrlichung von GewaltWeiterlesen

On this episode of American Potential, host David From welcomes back Dean Clancy, Senior Health Policy Fellow at Americans for Prosperity, to break down the major health care wins inside the One Big Beautiful Bill passed this summer. Dean explains how the bill expands access to Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), allowing millions more Americans to save tax-free for health care. Even more exciting — HSA funds can now be used for Direct Primary Care (DPC) subscriptions and telehealth, giving families easier, more affordable access to their preferred doctors without insurance gatekeeping. Dean also highlights key reforms in Medicaid and Obamacare subsidies, what's still needed to deliver true hassle-free health care, and how AFP's Personal Option campaign continues to push for more freedom and affordability in the health system. If you want to understand how the new law impacts your wallet—and why it's a major victory for health care freedom—this is an episode you won't want to miss.

"Les Archives du Crime", le podcast qui vous propose de redécouvrir les plus grandes affaires criminelles, à la lumière des témoignages de ceux qui les ont vécus. Sortie de la septième saison sur l'affaire Omar Raddad le 11 décembre 2025. Pour "Les Archives du Crime", les équipes de l'INA ont écouté des centaines d'heures d'entretiens, de témoignages, d'interviews et ont sélectionné la sève de chaque affaire. Ces documents oubliés vont vous emmener à la rencontre des accusés, des proches, des témoins, des enquêteurs, des avocats ou des spectateurs de ces procès hors du commun. Dans cette 7e saison, nous nous replongeons dans une affaire qui a fait couler beaucoup d'encre dans les années 1990, l'affaire Omar Raddad. Une affaire qui contient tous les ingrédients d'un bon polar : une riche victime,  veuve, un coupable jardinier, marocain et illettré, des ténors du barreau du côté de la partie civile comme du côté de la défense, des querelles d'héritages, des témoignages mystérieux et parfois contradictoires… Et surtout, une scène de crime devenue mythique avec ce message tracé en lettres de sang sur le mur, comportant une faute d'orthographe : "Omar m'a tuer".Pour beaucoup, cette “signature” a scellé le destin médiatique de l'affaire. Pourtant, une impression permanente de flou persiste : cette scène de crime, les preuves, le mobile… même la personnalité d'Omar Raddad, longtemps réduite à un visage lisse, nous échappe.Alors que reste-t-il, aujourd'hui, de cette affaire si célèbre mais restée imprécise dans les mémoires ? Et que nous dit-elle de cette époque ? Tout au long des épisodes, nous allons tenter d'éclairer les nombreuses zones d'ombre qui ont entouré l'affaire, afin de mieux comprendre la condamnation d'Omar Raddad et ses répercussions. « L'Affaire Omar Raddad » est à retrouver chaque jeudi, à midi, dans le podcast « Les Archives du crime », sur toutes les plateformes d'écoute et sur podcasts.ina.frUn podcast écrit par Mary-Lou Oeconomou - Raconté par Xavier LemarchandRestauration et Mixage : Stéphane Rives - Prise de son : Guillaume Solignat, Laurent Thomas - Unité de production : Delphine Lambard, Sophie Hériat, Sophie Da Costa - Création graphique : Ugo Bouveron.Musique(s) : Universal Production Music France.

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Matt Guilloty shares his intense journey through stage IIIB non-seminomatous testicular cancer. What he believed was a hydrocele kept growing until his testicle reached “the size of an avocado,” eventually leading to a shocking diagnosis delivered while he was driving on the highway. Matt describes the moment he learned his AFP tumor markers were 3,389, his cancer had spread to lymph nodes and lungs, and he needed BEP chemotherapy.Matt opens up about the physical and mental toll of four rounds of chemo - nausea, hiccups, fear before each cycle - and how he juggled treatment with grad school. He reflects on finding support through nurses, fellow survivors, and online communities, and how skateboarding helped him stay grounded. Matt also revisits his major post-chemo RPLND surgery and his long recovery back to mobility and strength.Now nearly three years into surveillance, Matt shares what the experience taught him about early detection, trusting his oncology team, and staying positive through fear.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

Around the country, a pervasive question being asked: How can I afford my prescription drugs? The high cost of those medications, particularly very expensive drugs to treat serious diseases like multiple sclerosis and cystic fibrosis, have fueled a nationwide business in which insurance programs are using companies called “alternative funding programs” or AFPs that promise to get these medications at little or no cost to the patient. “RiskyRX,” a CNBC investigation, found AFPs are becoming more pervasive around the country as drug costs skyrocket.CNBC submitted nearly 100 public records requests and sorted through more than 10,000 pages of contracts, emails, invoices and complaints that show these companies have penetrated the country's health-care system through private employers, cities, counties, school districts and unions. In some cases, employers require their staff to use an AFP. CNBC traced the trail of medications from abroad to the U.S. via a supply chain that's not authorized by the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the medications. The investigation features an exclusive interview with a Department Of Homeland Security official who says these programs should be shut down because they're illegal and post a serious safety risk to patients. A former high-ranking FDA official, speaking out for the first time, says these programs typically don't disclose the risks to patients. The AFPs strongly defend their business practices as both legal and safe and say their businesses are an antidote to high prescription drug prices. Those prices, across all drugs, in the U.S. are nearly three times as much, on average, as those in other high-income countries, according to a 2024 report by Rand, a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization.

Chris is joined by journalist Tom Mutch to discuss The Dogs of Mariupol and the realities of reporting from Ukraine's front lines. Tom shares what it takes to work inside an active war zone—from the decision to stay during the invasion to the daily logistics of moving, sourcing, and staying alive. They dig into the resilience of Ukrainians under fire, the reach of Russian propaganda, and the social fractures between those who fought and those who fled. Tom also reflects on why documenting these stories matters and how Ukraine's future could be shaped by the ingenuity and grit he's seen on the ground.

Theo báo cáo do Văn phòng Liên Hiệp Quốc về Ma túy và Tội phạm (UNODC) công bố vào tháng 5 vừa qua, hoạt động sản xuất và buôn bán trái phép ma túy tổng hợp từ khu vực Tam giác Vàng ( khu vực nằm giữa biên giới ba nước Lào, Thái Lan, Miến Điện ) đã tăng gấp bội. Là quốc gia có đường biên giới chung với Lào, một trong 3 quốc gia của khu Tam Giác Vàng, Việt Nam đang phải đối phó với ngày càng nhiều đường dây buôn lậu ma túy tổng hợp từ nước láng giềng.  Trả lời RFI Việt ngữ ngày 15/09/2025, nhà tội phạm học Lương Thanh Hải, giảng viên Trường Tư pháp hình sự và tội phạm học Griffith, Úc, và là chủ tịch Hội đồng nghiên cứu về tội phạm ma túy tại châu Á của Viện nghiên cứu AICS (Hoa Kỳ), trước hết nêu lên những tuyến đường mà ma túy tổng hợp xâm nhập vào Việt Nam : Lương Thanh Hải: Đến nay, việc thẩm lậu ma túy từ khu vực Tam Giác Vàng vào Việt Nam trải đều trên cả ba tuyến chính, đó là đường bộ, đường hàng không và đường biển. Việt Nam may mắn là không nằm trực tiếp trong vòng xoáy của Tam Giác Vàng. Thế nhưng Việt Nam lại là hàng xóm, chia sẻ đường biên trực tiếp với nước Lào, một trong ba nước của khu vực Tam Giác Vàng. Thành thử điều không tránh khỏi được là việc thẩm lậu ma túy, đặc biệt là ma túy tổng hợp, vào Việt Nam trải đều cả ba tuyến, đặc biệt là tuyến đường bộ. Báo cáo mới đây nhất của Liên Hiệp Quốc vào tháng 5 vẫn sử dụng các tài liệu của 63 tỉnh thành. Cho nên tôi cũng theo cái thói quen đó tạm thời đề cập đến các tỉnh trước ngày 01/07 năm nay, khi Việt Nam giảm xuống còn 34 tỉnh thành. Tôi lấy ví dụ đường biên giới Việt Nam và Lào, đặc biệt là các cái cửa khẩu Cầu Treo của Hà Tĩnh, Cha Lo của Quảng Bình và Lao Bảo của Quảng Trị, những vùng rất nóng bỏng, hoặc là tuyến Tây Bắc thì có những khu vực đặc biệt nóng bỏng ở Lóng Luông, Mộc Châu, Sơn La, hay là ở Lạng Sơn, vân vân... Các trục đường biên giới giữa Việt Nam và Lào là một trong những điểm nóng mà Cục cảnh sát phòng chống ma túy của Bộ Công an Việt Nam đã đưa vào tầm ngắm không chỉ bây giờ, mà từ rất lâu. Ngoài ra, tuyến biên giới Việt Nam - Cam Bốt cũng vậy. Ở các đường biên giữa hai nước như Tây Ninh, An Giang, Long An, giới buôn ma túy cũng lợi dụng các hoạt động thương mại, du lịch và vận tải đường bộ. Có thể nói rằng trên đường bộ, ngoài các khu vực cửa khẩu mà tôi có nhấn mạnh, với một đường biên giới trải dài tổng cộng hơn 3000 km tiếp giáp giữa Việt Nam, Lào, Cam Bốt, giữa Việt Nam và Trung Quốc, thì có thể nói rằng có rất nhiều đường mòn, lối mở. Lực lượng bộ đội biên phòng cũng như cảnh sát phòng chống ma túy của Việt Nam mặc dù đã chủ động và đã bố trí nhiều điểm chốt nhưng cũng không xuể được. Có thể nói nguồn nhân lực không thể kham hết được. RFI: Như vậy thì giữa Việt Nam với các nước láng giềng Lào, Cam Bốt, Trung Quốc, các lực lượng thực thi pháp luật có phối hợp với nhau để ngăn chận những đường dây đó? Lương Thanh Hải: Đó cũng là một trong những khía cạnh rất đáng ghi nhận. Nói gì thì nói, việc tăng cường hợp tác song phương và đa phương giữa Việt Nam và các nước láng giềng cũng có những tiến triển nhất định. Điều này đã được Ủy ban phòng chống ma túy và tội phạm của Liên Hiệp Quốc UNODC ghi nhận. Một điểm tôi muốn nhấn mạnh ở đây, đó chính là mô hình hợp tác song phương đường biên, mà chúng tôi hay gọi là Border Liaison Office, tức là việc bố trí song song lực lượng thực thi pháp luật của cả hai nước, bao gồm cảnh sát, biên phòng, hải quan, vân vân. Hai bên sẽ chia sẻ thông tin, kể cả thông tin tình báo, phối hợp các chuyên án để cùng nhau đánh sập các đường dây ma túy thẩm lậu giữa các nước với nhau.  Tuy nhiên, thành công trong các chuyên án phối hợp song phương hoặc đa phương cũng chỉ dừng lại góc độ chừng mực nhất định. Việc thực thi pháp luật vẫn đang còn những hạn chế, bởi vì thứ nhất, có sự khác biệt về mặt luật pháp. Đôi khi việc bắt và đánh sập một đường dây ma túy sau đó còn liên quan đến việc truy tố, xét xử và thi hành án, thậm chí là có dẫn độ hay không? Tất cả những câu hỏi đó, những rào cản đó cũng góp phần làm cản trở hiệu quả mang tính chất bền vững trong hợp tác quốc tế về phòng chống tội phạm xuyên quốc gia.  Ngoài cái đầu tiên đó là đường mòn, như tôi nói, rất phức tạp, có thể là điểm nóng nhất, thì đường biển cũng vậy. Đặc biệt trong giai đoạn Covid thì hầu hết đường biên giới của các nước đều đóng cả. Chính vì vậy, giai đoạn từ 2021 cho đến 2023 có thể nói là giai đoạn bùng nổ, không chỉ đối với Việt Nam hay ba nước khu vực Tam Giác Vàng, mà kể cả là Úc, Nhật hay Trung Quốc, kể cả Nam Mỹ, tất cả các hoạt động buôn bán vận chuyển trái phép ma túy tổng hợp đều tận dụng đường biển rất nhiều. Cho nên khu vực eo biển nằm ở Vịnh Thái Lan và đi qua eo biển Malacca có thể nói cũng là một trong những đường biển mà Việt Nam cần phải tập trung để hạn chế tối đa. Ngoài đường bộ và  đường biển, đường hàng không và bưu kiện có thể nói cũng là một trong những hướng thẩm lậu ma túy nổi lên trong nhiều năm trở lại đây đối với Việt Nam, mà lực lượng thực thi pháp luật cũng đã ít nhiều có những thành công nhất định và đã phá được nhiều chuyên án liên quan vận chuyển trái phép ma túy tổng hợp bằng đường hàng không và bưu kiện vào Việt Nam.  RFI: Với lượng bưu kiện nhập vào Việt Nam rất là lớn thì làm sao các cơ quan chức năng có thể kiểm tra để mà phát hiện được ma túy tổng hợp giấu trong những bưu kiện đó? Lương Thanh Hải: Đây là một trong những vấn đề rất là đau đầu và cũng là một trong những cái khó, bởi vì thứ nhất nó liên quan đến chính sách, pháp luật về kiểm soát và giám sát hàng hóa của từng nước. Việt Nam cũng vậy, không tránh khỏi những vướng mắc và khó khăn. Chẳng hạn về phương tiện trang thiết bị cho các lực lượng thực thi pháp luật, không phải cơ quan nào cũng đều được trang bị một cách tối tân nhất như ở các nước phương Tây. Đó cũng là một hạn chế làm giảm thiểu khả năng phát hiện đối với lực lượng thực thi pháp luật của Việt Nam đối với các đối tượng vận chuyển ma túy qua đường hàng không, hoặc là đường bưu kiện. Ngoài ra, những phương thức, thủ đoạn của các đối tượng vận chuyển ngày càng tinh vi hơn, không chỉ là giấu trong vali hay các vật dụng, vân vân. Có nhiều đối tượng còn nuốt vào trong bụng và thậm chí còn phẫu thuật để nhét vào các bộ phận của cơ thể, vân vân... Tất cả những điều đó đặt ra những thách thức và đòi hỏi các lực lượng thực thi pháp luật phải nâng cao hơn nữa trình độ nghiệp vụ, cùng với việc sử dụng phối hợp các trang thiết bị. Hiện nay, đối với Việt Nam thì Cảnh sát Liên bang Úc AFP cũng hỗ trợ rất nhiều cả về vật chất lẫn chương trình đào tạo, hỗ trợ về trang thiết bị. Ở góc độ nhà nghiên cứu và cũng là người thúc đẩy mối quan hệ hợp tác giữa lực lượng thực thi pháp luật Úc và Việt Nam, tôi hy vọng trong thời gian tới sẽ có nhiều hỗ trợ về trang thiết bị tối tân hơn. Ví dụ như các máy tia hồng ngoại có thể rà soát các loại chất ma túy qua đường bưu kiện và đường hàng không, hoặc là có thể có các khóa huấn luyện chuyên sâu đặc biệt đối với các detective dog, chó nghiệp vụ, để hỗ trợ Việt Nam trong quá trình điều tra, phát hiện và suy xét các chuyên án ma túy liên quan đến đường hàng không. RFI: Cũng nói về hợp tác giữa Việt Nam với Úc, bây giờ có những đường dây vận chuyển ma túy tổng hợp từ Việt Nam sang Úc, chắc là qua đường hàng không nhiều hơn, hay không? Như vậy hai nước phối hợp như thế nào để ngăn chặn những đường dây đó?  Đúng vậy. Tuy nhiên, so với mặt bằng chung, so với các nước khác, việc vận chuyển từ Việt Nam trực tiếp sang Úc thì số lượng không đáng kể. Theo báo cáo hàng năm của Ủy ban nghiên cứu về tội phạm và ma túy của Úc, hầu hết các đối tượng vận chuyển ma túy tổng hợp từ Việt Nam qua Úc với số lượng vừa phải, nhỏ lẻ. Tức là nếu căn cứ theo định lượng tội danh của khung hình sự thì nó cũng ít nghiêm trọng, chứ không phải là hàng tạ hay hàng tấn, như khối lượng từ Tam Giác Vàng thẩm lậu vào Việt Nam. Các đối tượng vận chuyển như vậy thì rơi vào các nhóm thứ yếu, có thể là những du học sinh, những người lớn tuổi, những người nhẹ dạ cả tin cầm hành lý hộ, vân vân. Tuy nhiên, ở góc độ về thực thi pháp luật, hợp tác giữa Cảnh sát Liên bang Úc AFP và cảnh sát Việt Nam khá chặt chẽ, bởi vì AFP là một trong những lực lượng thực thi pháp luật triển khai khá sớm con người cụ thể ở đại sứ quán ở Hà Nội cũng như lãnh sự quán ở thành phố Hồ Chí Minh . Mô hình thành lập trung tâm phòng chống tội phạm xuyên quốc gia Việt - Úc có thể nói là một trong những mô hình đầu tiên mà một lực lượng cảnh sát ngoài Việt Nam, cụ thể là Úc, phối hợp cùng Tổng cục Cảnh sát trước đây, bây giờ là văn phòng cơ quan điều tra phụ trách. Cả hai bên đã phối hợp và xây dựng và đặt tại trụ sở thành phố Hồ Chí Minh. Trung tâm phòng chống tội phạm xâm quốc gia này hoạt động khá hiệu quả, là nơi trung chuyển, cung cấp, trao đổi thông tin, cả thông tin tình báo lẫn thông tin về các loại tội phạm, đặc biệt là về ma túy, để giúp  lực lượng thực thi pháp luật cả hai nước có cơ sở để triển khai các hoạt động phòng chống hiệu quả.
