The Italo-Greek War, which began as a purely regional conflict in October 1940, would transform into a broader European confrontation as both Germany and Britain made the fateful decision to intervene in Greece. For the Germans, concerns about protecting vital Romanian oil fields from potential British air attacks, combined with fears of Italian collapse, drove the planning of Operation Marita, an invasion designed to secure the Balkans before the launch of Barbarossa. Meanwhile, Churchill and the British leadership saw Greece as an opportunity to distract Axis forces, demonstrate support for smaller nations, and potentially build a Balkan alliance with Yugoslavia and Turkey. Greek leader Metaxas initially resisted British ground forces, fearing they would provoke German intervention, but his death in January 1941 led to a shift in policy under his successor. As German forces moved into Romania and Bulgaria throughout early 1941, and British RAF squadrons began arriving in Greece, both sides prepared for a confrontation that would expand the war far beyond the mountains of Albania where Italian and Greek forces had been locked in bitter combat.

In episode 257 of Talk Eastern Europe, Adam and Alexandrareact to the breakout of war in the Middle East and what it might mean from the regional aspect. They look specifically at relations with Russia, the war in Ukraine and also the South Caucasus, which borders the conflict zone. They also catch on the situation in Albania and discuss Hungary's latest tactics ahead of the elections in April.For the main interview Alexandra is joined by Toma Istomina,deputy chief editor of The Kyiv Independent, on the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Tome reflects on how the newsroom transformed overnight from a small startup into a major international outlet covering the war, and how journalists balance urgent battlefield reporting with deeper coverage of Ukrainian culture, history, and everyday life. The conversation explores the challenges of reporting during prolonged conflict, the importance of global understanding of Ukraine, and the role international audiences can play in supporting independent journalism covering the war.Check out the Kyiv Independent online: https://kyivindependent.com/Watch the special YouTube series “Dare to Ukraine” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cjMmGeLq0I&list=PLmOj0Ur_xinRpYyt31pbGt48Z6YGwX6ZtSupport the podcast and become a patron here: www.patreon.com/talkeasterneurope

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA MENORES 2026“HEROES Y VILLANOS”Narrado por: Tatania DanielaDesde: Juliaca, PerúUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church07 de MarzoLa heroína servicial«El Rey les contestará: "Les aseguro que todo lo que hicieron por uno de estos hermanos míos más humildes, por mí mismo lo hicieron"» (Mateo 25: 40).Pensemos en una figura cuyo corazón irradiaba amor y cuyas manos trabajaban incansablemente para aliviar el sufrimiento de los más desfavorecidos. Esta es la historia de la madre Teresa de Calcuta, una mujer extraordinaria cuya vida fue un ejemplo viviente de compasión y servicio desinteresado.Nacida como Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu en Albania en 1910, la madre Teresa dedicó su vida a ayudar a los pobres y a los enfermos. Desde muy joven sintió el llamado de Dios para servir a los demás, y a los dieciocho años se unió a una orden religiosa en Irlanda, convirtiéndose en monja.La madre Teresa fue conocida por su humildad y por su capacidad para ver a Jesucristo en cada persona, especialmente en los más necesitados. Fundó la congregación de las Misioneras de la Caridad en 1950, cuyos miembros se dedicaron a cuidar de los enfermos, de los moribundos, de los abandonados y de los desamparados en las calles de Calcuta, India, y en todo el mundo.Uno de los aspectos más destacados de su obra fue la creación de los hogares para mendigos, donde las personas que estaban en las últimas etapas de su vida recibían cuidados paliativos y, lo más importante, amor incondicional. La madre Teresa creía firmemente que cada persona, sin importar su situación o condición, merecía morir con dignidad y rodeada de amor.Además de cuidar a los enfermos, la madre Teresa también abogó por los más vulnerables en la sociedad, incluidos los niños abandonados y los leprosos. Su trabajo inspiró a millones de personas en todo el mundo a hacer actos de bondad y a dedicar sus vidas al servicio de los demás.A lo largo de su vida, la madre Teresa recibió numerosos premios y reconocimientos, incluido el Premio Nobel de la Paz en 1979, por su incansable labor humanitaria. Sin embargo, ella misma siempre les restó importancia a los honores, prefiriendo centrarse en servir a Dios ayudando a los más necesitados.Jesucristo afirmó que es fácil amar a quienes nos pueden devolver la bondad que mostremos, pero que amar a los que no tienen nada que dar es algo que el cielo aprecia mucho más. El rey del universo dirá a los que así amen: «Les aseguro que todo lo que hicieron por uno de estos hermanos míos más humildes, por mí mismo lo hicieron». 

L'industria finanziaria vuole convincerti che servono milioni per andare in pensione, ma spesso ottimizza sulla variabile sbagliata: mantenere uno stile di vita costoso per garantirti decenni di commissioni. In questo video sfidiamo il modello standard. Analizziamo come i "costi di compensazione" legati al lavoro calino drasticamente quando smetti, e come l'arbitraggio geografico in paesi come Portogallo, Thailandia o Albania possa trasformare una rendita di 1.000€ al mese in una vita dignitosa e sicura. La libertà è più vicina di quanto pensi se sei disposto a cambiare prospettiva.

Priorità: il governo ha bocciato la proposta di congedo parentale paritario delle opposizioni e ha presentato una nuova legge elettorale su misura.La proposta di legge, a prima firma Schlein, avrebbe portato il congedo di entrambi i genitori a 5 mesi retribuiti al 100%, finanziandolo con il taglio dei sussidi ambientalmente dannosi — che in Italia valgono circa 123 miliardi di euro all'anno. Il governo ha risposto che non ci sono le coperture: la stessa scusa usata per il salario minimo, mentre i soldi per i centri in Albania, il ponte sullo Stretto e l'aumento delle spese militari saltano fuori senza problemi.Oggi in Italia il congedo obbligatorio per le madri è di 5 mesi pagato all'80%, quello per i padri è di 10 giorni — fino al 2018 erano due. La sproporzione è la radice strutturale della disparità salariale tra uomini e donne: i dati mostrano che le retribuzioni femminili subiscono una flessione in corrispondenza della maternità che non viene mai recuperata lungo l'intera carriera lavorativa. Equiparare i congedi significherebbe anche eliminare l'alibi con cui molte imprese preferiscono assumere uomini.Schlein ha fatto notare che questa bocciatura arriva "dal primo governo che ha un presidente del Consiglio donna." Il tema si allarga alla questione della riduzione dell'orario lavorativo — la proposta Conte delle 6 ore giornaliere, tutt'altro che populista alla luce degli studi sulla produttività — e alla contraddizione di fondo di un sistema che chiede alla gente di fare figli e poi tratta la genitorialità come un problema.Intanto, di fronte a sondaggi sempre meno incoraggianti — in particolare sul referendum sulla giustizia, dove il fronte del No è in netta rimonta — il governo corre ai ripari con una nuova legge elettorale.Lo "Stabilicum," che suona più come un farmaco per la regolarità intestinale che come una riforma istituzionale, è un proporzionale con soglia di sbarramento al 3% e un premio di maggioranza flessibile: chi supera il 40% dei voti ottiene fino al 55% dei seggi. Non ci sono le preferenze — una vecchia battaglia di Meloni, silenziosamente abbandonata — e sulla scheda dovrà comparire il nome del candidato presidente del Consiglio, una mossa pensata per mettere in difficoltà un centrosinistra che dovrebbe scegliere in fretta il proprio candidato. Una simulazione YouTrend parla chiaro: con il sistema attuale, centrodestra e centrosinistra arriverebbero sostanzialmente in parità; con la nuova legge, la destra avrebbe il 57% dei seggi in Parlamento. Il tempismo è rivelatore. La proposta arriva mentre il fronte del Sì al referendum perde terreno di giorno in giorno, e la comunicazione del governo è diventata più nervosa e flamboyant. Più fanno campagna per il Sì, più la gente si mobilita per il No: una posizione di lose-lose da cui sembra difficile uscire. Sostieni the Submarine, abbonati alla newsletter

This episode continues the story of the Italo-Greek War following the disastrous Italian invasion of Greece in late October 1940. After the Italian defeat at Kalpaki, the Greeks launched a counteroffensive that quickly pushed Italian forces back across the border and into Albania, capturing the city of Korce and taking over 10,000 prisoners. The episode examines the Italian leadership shake-ups that followed, with General Soddu replacing Prasca and Marshal Badoglio being publicly scapegoated before his replacement by Cavallero. As winter set in, both armies suffered terribly from frostbite and harsh conditions that made offensive operations nearly impossible. The RAF arrived in limited numbers but disappointed Greek hopes for major air support, while the Royal Hellenic Air Force performed the remarkable Engineers' Epic, moving aircraft 26 kilometers through blizzard conditions to preserve their fighting strength. The episode concludes with the death of Greek leader Metaxas in January 1941 and his replacement by Koryzis, whose willingness to accept British ground forces would set the stage for the war's expansion beyond a regional Greco-Italian conflict.

As Germany conquered countries in WWII, in many nations, they found willing volunteers to help them identify Jews to send to concentration camps. However, not every country did. Finland, Bulgaria, and Albania engaged in a spirited defense of their Jewish communities in the face of Nazi oppression.  However, no country did more to save its Jewish population than Denmark.

It was a simple honeymoon photo from 1941. A stranger posted it online and the commentary was vicious. The woman in that picture was Albanian author Lea Ypi's grandmother. In the midst of the Second World War and the violent end times of Mussolini's government, Ypi's grandmother must have been a fascist, a collaborator, a traitor to Albania. In her book, Indignity: A Life Reimagined, Ypi attempts to find the truth of her grandmother's life, in a journey that mixes philosophy, fantasy, history, and family narrative.

In October 1940, Mussolini launched an invasion of Greece from Albania, determined to secure Italian expansion in the Balkans before any peace could be negotiated. This episode examines the lead-up to the Italo-Greek War, beginning with Greece under the Metaxas dictatorship and its efforts to build up military strength despite limited industrial capacity. We explore Italy's decision to target Greece after delays in North Africa, the flawed assumptions Italian leaders held about Greek willingness to fight, and the fabricated provocations used to justify the invasion. When the Italian ultimatum was delivered at 3AM on October 28th, Metaxas famously rejected it, and Greece mobilized with unexpected unity as political divisions evaporated overnight. The episode follows the opening days of the invasion, hampered by torrential rains and mountainous terrain, culminating in the Battle of Kalpaki on November 2nd where Greek artillery devastated Italian tank attacks. By November 8th, the Italian offensive had completely stalled, forcing a major reorganization and change of command that set the stage for further failures to come.

Albanian Lea Ypi has a talent for combining the personal and the political in history, exploring how we are all shaped by the societies and ideologies surrounding us. In her memoir Free. A Child and a Country at the End of History, she skillfully portrays her own childhood during the socialist regime of Enver Hoxha in the latter half of the 20th century, followed by the state's collapse and civil war.Ordinary humans in the midst of history is also the focus in her new book, Indignity: A Life Reimagined. An unknown photopgrah of her grandmother honeymooning in Mussolini's Italy pops up on social media, making Ypi question everything she thought she knew about her family. Was her grandmother a Nazi collaborator? Or perhaps a Communist spy?This is the beginning of a thorough examination of her grandmothers life, one that takes Ypi back to the Ottoman empire, to Greece and then Albania through alternating regimes and occupants.Lea Ypi is a professor of political theory and philosophy at the London School of Economics. Her book Free was warmly received by both critics and readers, and is so far translated into 30 languages.Writer and journalist Simen Ekern has published several books about European and Italian politics and history. He joins Ypi for a conversation about ordinary humans in the midst of history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Albanske Lea Ypi har en egen evne til å flette sammen personlig og politisk historie, og utforske hvordan vi mennesker formes av samfunnet og ideologiene rundt oss. Det gjorde hun på mesterlig vis i memoarboka Fri. En oppvekst ved historiens ende (2021). Her skildrer hun sin egen oppvekst under Enver Hoxhas sosialistiske regime siste halvdel av 1900-tallet, etterfulgt av statens sammenbrudd og borgerkrig.Enkeltmennesket og den store historien er temaet også i den nye boka hennes Uverdighet. Overlevelse i en ekstrem tidsalder (til norsk ved Inger Sverreson Holmes). Et ukjent bilde av bestemoren på bryllupsreise i Mussolinis Italia, dukker plutselig opp på sosiale medier og kaster om på det Lea Ypi trodde hun visste om familien. Var bestemoren fascist-kollaboratør? Eller kanskje en kommunistisk spion?Det blir startskuddet for en undersøkelse av bestemorens liv, som tar Ypi med tilbake til det ottomanske riket, til Hellas og etter hvert et Albania under skiftende styrer og okkupasjonsmakter.Lea Ypi er professor i politisk teori og filosofi ved London School of Economics. Fri ble varmt mottatt både av kritikere og lesere, og er oversatt til 30 språk.Forfatter og journalist Simen Ekern har gitt ut flere bøker om europeisk og italiensk politikk og historie. Nå møter han Ypi til samtale om enkeltmennesket og den store historien. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of Spymasters, Antonia Senior sits down with acclaimed author Alex Preston to discuss his gripping new novel A Stranger in Corfu — a dark, atmospheric story that blends the glamour of the Mediterranean with the psychological wreckage of espionage. At the centre of the novel is Nina, a young MI6 agent dispatched into the collapsing chaos of 1990s Yugoslavia, where the moral certainties of her training collide with the brutal reality of intelligence work. What follows is a haunting journey — one that eventually leads her to a mysterious island off Corfu, a place that feels less like paradise and more like a retirement home for damaged spies. Alex reveals the real-world inspirations behind the story, including Corfu's extraordinary intelligence history, and the chilling legacy of Operation Valuable — the failed Anglo-American Cold War effort to destabilise communist Albania. This is an episode about idealism, betrayal, compromised souls, and the seductive power of “beautiful lies.” If you love John le Carré, moral complexity, or spy stories that feel uncomfortably real… you're going to love this conversation.

In this episode of Communicable, Navaneeth Narayanan and Josh Nosanchuk invite Virginie Lemiale and Elie Azoulay (Paris, France) as well as fellow editor Emily McDonald (Montreal, Canada)—this time as guest—to discuss adjunctive steroid therapy for pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in HIV-negative individuals. In 2025, Lemiale and Azoulay published results from their double-blind, randomised controlled trial investigating steroid treatment for severe Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PIC trial) in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine [1]. At first glance, one might dismiss the study's clinical impact due the ‘negative' result of  the primary outcome, mortality at 28 days, which just missed a statistically significant difference between groups. There was a clinical difference, however, and all other outcomes, including 90-day mortality, were significantly different between groups. Understanding how pivotal these results were to clinical practice, McDonald and colleagues sought to contextualise the results of the PIC trial through a Bayesian analysis in a follow-up publication [2]. While the discussion provides useful clinical commentary, it also helps both to demystify Bayesian analysis and to call attention to what might be lost with strict or overly concrete interpretations of traditional frequentist analyses. This episode was peer reviewed by Arjana Zerja from the Mother Theresa University Hospital Center, Tirana, Albania.ReferencesLemiale V, et al.

Have you ever experienced a loss so deep it seemed to change everything? I met a woman in Albania who knew this kind of pain. She had lost her mother as a little girl, and that grief had left her feeling abandoned. As the years passed by, she told herself there couldn't possibly be a loving God who cared about her.  But one night, at a women's gathering, I invited this woman to join my table. She listened as I shared about a love great enough to reach broken hearts like ours.  She realized the truth: Her grief mattered deeply to God. There is hope and healing for you.   You can know Jesus. Will you open your heart to Him today? Always remember, there is hope with God. "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;  he rescues those whose spirits are crushed." Psalm 34:18 radio.hopewithgod.com
