Margaret Hoover sits down with three Belarusian dissidents–exiled opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, athlete-turned-activist Katya Snytsina, and theater director Natalia Kaliada–to discuss their fight against Aleksandr Lukashenko's dictatorship. Kaliada is co-founder of the Belarus Free Theatre, which recently debuted the play KS6: Small Forward in New York, starring Snytsina and telling the story of her journey from Belarusian Olympic basketball player to political activist. In 2020, Tsikhanouskaya's husband Sergei Tikhanovsky was arrested shortly after announcing he would run against Lukashenko. He remains in custody today, but Tsikhanouskaya ran in his place, failing to unseat Lukashenko in an election widely seen as a sham. Snytsina recalls how the mass protests that followed that election inspired her to speak out and leave the national women's basketball team. Kaliada discusses the genesis of the play and explains why art can be a uniquely effective weapon against dictators. Tsikhanouskaya reflects on life in Belarus today, offers a warning for Americans about the urgency of defending democracy abroad, and looks ahead to the country's January 2025 presidential election, which she expects will be a “farce.” This interview was recorded in September after a performance of KS6: Small Forward at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club in New York.

In August 2020, Aleksandr Lukashenko, authoritarian leader of Belarus, denied electoral fraud and claimed landslide victory in his sixth presidential election. The regime's violent crackdown on the mass pro-democracy protests signaled a new era of political repression in the country and triggered a major emigration wave. In this episode of The Russia File, Nina Rozhanovskaya talks with political analyst Artyom Shraibman about how the situation in Belarus has changed over the past three years, the effects of the war in Ukraine on Belarusian state and society, the regime's new repressive tools, its growing dependence on Russia, the shared values of Belarusians, and the democratic future of Belarus.

Of all the possible outcomes of Prigozhin's mutiny, most experts probably didn't expect to see Belarus figure itself so prominently in the narrative. Indeed, as Belarusian president Aleksandr Lukashenko agreed to allow both Progizhin and Wagner forces into the country, questions arose about the fate of the Belarusian-Russian connection. On this episode of The Eastern Front, Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia are joined by Alexander Lukashuk, Reagan fellow at the National Endowment for Democracy and former director of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's Belarus service, to flesh out the Belarusian angle of this conflict. What risks, if any, did welcoming Wagner into Belarus carry for Lukashenko? Is Belarus attempting to now distance itself from the Kremlin? Will Putin still follow through on his plan to move Russian tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus? Show notes: Sign up for The Eastern Front's bi-weekly newsletter here and follow us on Twitter here.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're not phoning it in before the long weekend. There are some very serious issues that we need to shed a light on, including that was-it-a-coup-attempt in Russia last weekend that might have changed the game. And speaking of changing the game, is Canada about to be serviced by one big newspaper company? What about the fate of local news? In the back half of the show, nothing major, just the state of our emergency rooms in Canada. This Thursday, June 29, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: The Man Who Coup Too Much. Over the weekend, the mercenary Wagner Group marched across Russia towards Moscow in what looked like the opening moves of a coup d'état and then, just as swiftly as it began, Wagner's leader (and former hot dog peddler) Yevgeny Prigozhin decided to call the whole thing off. So what happened? Are we really supposed to believe that Vladimir Putin's favourite puppet Aleksandr Lukashenko brokered a deal? And what happens next on the frontlines in Ukraine? Stop Local. A little more than a week after they cut 1,300 jobs and shuttered bureaus around the world, Bell Media sent a letter to the CRTC asking them to review the requirement to have their local TV stations produce local news. These requirements have existed since the dawn of commercial television, but now Bell thinks that local news is a lemon that they want to get rid of. Following Bill C-18, and the announcement that the Toronto Star maybe merging with Postmedia, can anything save local news? The Old Department. It's been one of the worst kept secrets that emergency departments at Canada's hospitals are in trouble. COVID-19 turbo charged the issues they were facing, and in a post-COVID world, hospitals are dealing with staff burnout coupled with constant high levels of activity that fall outside the normal patterns. Then, last week, Dr. Catherine Varner wrote in the Canadian Medical Association Journal that not only are the problems in Canada's E.R.'s persistent, they're going to continue for the foreseeable future. She's going to tell is all about why. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

Last weekend, in the course of about 36 hours, Vladimir Putin faced — and then survived — one of the most serious challenges to his rule in over 20 years. An armed rebellion led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of a Russian mercenary group, took control of a southern military town, and then advanced toward Moscow, coming within about 125 miles of the city. Then, as suddenly as the rebellion began, it was over: Prigozhin was quickly exiled to Belarus without facing criminal charges — an outcome that shocked many Russia watchers.Why did Prigozhin stage this rebellion in the first palace? Why did Putin respond the way he did? What are the implications for the future of Putin's rule — and the broader war in Ukraine?There are few people who understand the Putin regime as deeply as Stephen Kotkin, a pre-eminent scholar of Russian history at Stanford. We discuss Prigozhin's complex motivations, why Putin didn't shut down Prigozhin's critiques before they escalated to the point of armed rebellion, how to interpret reports that members of Putin's inner circle were aware of the rebellion plot, how Prigozhin's march created an “unwitting referendum” that could threaten the stability of Putin's regime, the bizarre cease-fire arranged by Belarusian president Aleksandr Lukashenko, why Putin didn't kill or jail Prigozhin, how this series of events could impact the outcome of the war in Ukraine and more.(Note: This episode was recorded on Wednesday, June 28.

Após a suposta tentativa de golpe por parte do líder do grupo Wagner, Vladimir Putin, num discurso gravado previamente, vem saudar os soldados mortos e aplaudir o presidente da Bielorússia, Aleksandr Lukashenko, por ter intervido no conflito. Num discurso muito contraditório, Vladimir Putin agradece aos combatentes da Wagner por terem travado o golpe, após os ter chamado de “traidores” anteriormente.

Today, Les, Jamil, and Morgan discuss the Wagner Group's uprising in Russia over the weekend. Wagner group leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, ordered the mercenary troops to march towards Moscow on Saturday before Belarusian leader, Aleksandr Lukashenko stepped in to negotiate a diplomatic end to the mutiny. Who could succeed Putin if he were to fall from power? How should Ukraine leverage this moment of weakness in Russia to enhance their counteroffensive? And has Chinese President, Xi Jinping, refrained from sending weapons to Russia because he lacks confidence in Russia?

Ha sido este último un fin de semana de infarto en Rusia. El viernes, Yevgeny Prigozhin, dueño de la empresa de mercenarios Wagner y persona muy cercana a Vladimir Putin, dijo públicamente que el ejército ruso había matado a “una enorme cantidad” de sus hombres en un ataque a uno de los campamentos que sus soldados tienen en la retaguardia del frente ucraniano. Estaba enfurecido y anunció que habría represalias. Los militares negaron que ese ataque se hubiera producido y a partir de ahí todo se precipitó. Prigozhin se declaró en rebelión a través de Telegram y anunció su intención de avanzar sobre Moscú en lo que denominó “marcha por la justicia”. Esta marcha sólo se detendría si Putin le entregaba la cabeza del ministro de Defensa, Serguéi Shoigú, y del jefe de Estado Mayor Valeri Gerasimov. El sábado a primera hora, Prigozhin revelaba que su ejército ya había abandonado el este de Ucrania y que estaban tomando Rostov del Don, una ciudad de más de un millón de habitantes situada en el punto donde el río Don desemboca en el mar de Azov. La ciudad se entregó sin oponer resistencia. Los hombres de Wagner se hicieron el control del comando militar del sur de Rusia, que es desde donde se dirige la invasión de Ucrania. En Moscú saltaron todas las alarmas. Se puso inmediatamente a Wagner fuera de la ley, fue asaltada su sede central en San Petersburgo y Putin se vio forzado a comparecer de urgencia por televisión. En un discurso televisado el presidente se lamentó por todo lo que estaba pasando, calificó de traición la actitud de Prigozhin y anticipó castigos ejemplares. El país se encontraba en aquel momento al borde de la guerra civil. Una hora más tarde Prigozhin publicó un mensaje en Telegram informando que sus unidades se dirigían ya hacia el norte por la carretera que conduce a Voronezh. Su intención expresa era no detenerse hasta alcanzar la capital. Seguía insistiendo en que el problema era Shoigú y Gerasimov. Unas horas más tarde el gobernador de la provincia de Lipetsk informó de que las unidades de Wagner ya se encontraban allí y pidió a los habitantes no salir de sus hogares para evitar males mayores. A lo largo de las siguientes horas, se distribuyeron imágenes de columnas de Wagner, equipadas con acorazados, artillería y vehículos de transporte de tropas cruzando las provincias de Voronezh y Lipetsk, situada esta última a sólo 500 kilómetros de Moscú. Su avance era rápido y apenas encontraban oposición. Por tierra apenas había intentos de detenerles, desde el aire se produjeron ataques puntuales por parte de helicópteros. El ejército ruso, entretanto, fue tomando posiciones en el sur de la capital para repeler el ataque. A media mañana la situación era de una gravedad extrema. Putin pasó entonces al plan B. Se puso en contacto con el presidente de Bielorrusia, Aleksandr Lukashenko, para que intermediase con los rebeldes. Las conversaciones entre Lukashenko y Prigozhin se sustanciaron horas más tarde en un acuerdo de alto el fuego. Poco después Prigozhin anunció que sus tropas se retirarían a sus cuarteles y campos de entrenamiento en la Ucrania ocupada, cosa que hicieron prácticamente en el acto. El sábado por la noche los mismos que habían ocupado Rostov a primera hora de la mañana se marcharon por su propio pie. Prigozhin, por su parte, se dirigió a Bielorrusia donde permanecerá exiliado bajo la protección de Lukashenko. La gravedad de lo sucedido estos días abre una nueva fase no ya sólo en la invasión de Ucrania, también en el propio régimen de Putin, que por primera vez ha sido desafiado con éxito. Son muchos los interrogantes que se abren a partir de ahora. Es un misterio qué ocurrirá con Wagner y cuál será el destino de la cúpula militar rusa. Lo que parece fuera de toda duda es que el poder de Putin ha quedado severamente dañado. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Hispanos.

Borgerligheden har brug for en åndelig genrejsning. Derfor vil en række borgerlige stemmer til sommer invitere kursister på en nydannet borgerlig højskole under navnet ”Rahbeks Højskole”, hvor man bliver introduceret til ”alt det smukke i borgerligheden”. Om borgerbegrebet, fællesskabet, dannelsen, oplysningstiden, retfærdigheden, frihedsbegrebet, etikken og sågar kærligheden. Den liberale debattør Mia Amalie Holstein er blandt højskolens stiftere og hun vil uddybe dens baggrund og koncept.Al opmærksomhed kredser om Ukraine-krigen og måske Kina. Så hvad blev der egentlig af truslen fra islamistisk terror fra Mellemøsten? Den er forsvundet fra mediernes dagsorden. Vi spørger senioranalytiker Jacob Kaarsbo fra Tænketanken Europa, der selv har baggrund som tidligere analytiker i FE, om det er lykkedes for Vesten at inddæmme problemet?Belarus' diktator Aleksandr Lukashenko støtter Ruslands krig i Ukraine, men dog uden at landets soldater er direkte involveret. Ellers går tiden med at undertrykke oppositionen og en rejse til Beijing for at udbygge alliancen med Kina.

It's Thursday, February 2nd, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Belarus censors Christian literature & denies church building Last week, Forum 18, a human rights group, released a report on religious liberty in the Republic of Belarus which is bordered by Russia to the east, Ukraine to the South, and Poland to the West. The survey noted continued restrictions on religion in the eastern European country. The regime of Aleksandr Lukashenko carries out surveillance and monitoring of religious communities. Churches cannot legally exist without state registration. The government denies church building permits. Officials censor and restrict the distribution of religious literature. They even prosecute and remove religious leaders from office. Protestant communities, in particular, have “generally found it impossible to get property redesignated so that it can be used for worship in line with the law.” Portuguese court: Pro-euthanasia law unconstitutional In pro-life news, a high court in Portugal recently declared a law to legalize euthanasia unconstitutional. The law is the third attempt to legalize such killings in the southern European country. The Constitutional court struck down the two previous attempts.  France rejects making abortion a “constitutional right” -- again Meanwhile in France, the country's Senate has rejected a draft law that would make abortion a right in their Constitution. It is the third time the French Senate has rejected the bill.  51 is average age of Christian in England/Wales New census data from England and Wales found the average age of Christians there is now 51. It's the oldest average age for any religious group in those countries. Muslims have the youngest median age of 27. Those who identify with no religion had a slightly older average age of 32. The median age of the general population is 40. Since the census began, it's the first time that the average age for Christians rose above 50. Closer look at Hispanic American churches Lifeway Research released the largest survey yet on Hispanic Protestant churches in the U.S. The study found these Hispanic churches are newer, younger, and more evangelistic than the average Protestant church in America. Over half of Hispanic Protestant churches have been established since 2000. Most congregants are first-generation Americans. And over a third of the average congregation is under the age of 30. With their evangelistic work, Hispanic pastors report nearly three quarters of those who commit their lives to Christ become active participants in the church. Luke 14:23 says, “And the master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled.'” Colorado Christian baker still harassed Jack Phillips, a Christian baker in Colorado, continues to face litigation for applying his beliefs in his business. Last Thursday, a Colorado state appeals court ruled that the Christian baker discriminated against a man who pretends to be a woman. The man, known as Autumn Scardina, an attorney, wanted Phillips to bake a cake to celebrate his so-called gender transition.  Phillips plans to appeal the decision. He already won a victory at the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 after declining to make a cake for a faux homosexual wedding. Utah bans sex change surgeries on minors On Saturday, Utah Republican Governor Spencer Cox  signed a bill banning sex change surgeries on minors. The law also places restrictions on prescribing hormone blockers. Under the measure, people who underwent so-called sex-change treatments as children can sue healthcare providers if they no longer consent to it. U.S. fertility rate up in 2021 A new report from the U.S. government found about 50,000 more babies were born in the country in 2021 compared with 2020.  This reverses a trend of fewer and fewer births every year since 2008. However, the U.S. fertility rate in 2021 was still below replacement levels coming in at 1.7 births per woman.  The report found the average age a woman has her first child reached a record high of 27.3 years in 2021. Births among White and Hispanic women increased, while births among Black, Asian, and American-Indian women decreased. Heaven welcomed creation scientist John Morris And finally, the Institute for Creation Research reports that Dr. John Morris died peacefully this past Lord's day at the age of 76. Dr. John was known as the “Indiana Jones” explorer of Biblical creation research. He was the second son of Dr. Henry Morris, the founder of the institute. Dr. John earned a Ph.D. in geological engineering from the University of Oklahoma. He also published many creation science books in his field including The Young Earth: The Real History of the Earth - Past, Present, and Future. Most importantly, he was known for his character. Institute for Creation Research President Dr. Randy Guliuzza said, “Anyone who ever met Dr. John Morris remembers their first encounter. Never was there a sweeter or more optimistic and loving man! In a word, John Morris was Christlike.” Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Thursday, February 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Kiev ha vuelto a ser atacada de forma directa por el ejército ruso, pero no con baterías de artillería, sino mediante drones baratos de fabricación iraní. El ataque de este lunes fue tan intenso que la ciudad tuvo que encender las alertas de ataque aéreo. Las fuerzas armadas ucranianas, entretanto, han tenido que esmerarse en derribar todos los drones posibles antes de que impactasen ya que se dirigían directos hacia objetivos civiles. Aseguran que han derribado ya más de 30 drones. Lo más dramático de todo es que en el momento en el que se produjo el ataque, la ciudad se recuperaba de un bombardeo previo sobre infraestructuras energéticas y de suministro de agua que habían dejado a parte de la ciudad a oscuras y sin calefacción. Volodímir Zelenski compareció por televisión y a través de las redes sociales para informar que el suministro eléctrico había conseguido restablecerse para un total de seis millones de personas, pero, a pesar de ello prosiguen los cortes de electricidad en diez regiones del país. En algunos casos los daños son cuantiosos y se tardarán semanas e incluso meses en ser reparados del todo. Zelenski ha vuelto a hacer un llamado a los países occidentales para que le transfieran sistemas de defensa aérea lo más modernos posible. Parte de esa ayuda ya ha empezado a llegar. Estados Unidos, Alemania, España y Noruega han enviado al país varios tipos de sistemas de defensa antiaérea. Los españoles les han enviado, por ejemplo, el sistema Hawk, los estadounidenses están ultimando el envío del sistema Patriot, muy avanzado y de gran efectividad. El ataque sistemático a las centrales eléctricas para matar de hambre y frío a los ucranianos es la última táctica desplegada por el Kremlin, que pretende así compensar las pérdidas territoriales de los últimos meses y endulzar la humillación sufrida hace un mes en Jersón, de donde los soldados rusos tuvieron que salir sin siquiera presentar batalla. Los combates a ras de tierra se concentran ahora en la pequeña ciudad de Bajmut, en el frente oriental, donde el ejército ruso trata de llevarse un premio de consolación tras varios meses de derrotas y repliegues constantes. Para la ofensiva de Bajmut Rusia está empleando tropas regulares y mercenarios del grupo Wagner cuyos integrantes provienen a menudo de las cárceles rusas. Los ataques aéreos sobre la capital realizados desde la frontera norte han llevado a los analistas a valorar la posibilidad de que Putin tenga ya listo un nuevo asalto sobre Kiev, una ofensiva a gran escala que lanzaría en la parte más dura del invierno y tras haber dejado a la ciudad sin luz, agua y calefacción. De este modo le sería más fácil avanzar sobre ella y rendirla con sus divisiones acorazadas. Hay motivos para pensar que puede abrirse un nuevo frente en el norte y, de hecho, el ejército ucraniano cuenta con él. Vladimir Putin acaba de visitar Minsk, capital de Bielorrusia, donde se ha reunido con Aleksandr Lukashenko. Es la primera vez que Putin visita personalmente Minsk desde hace tres años por lo que algo importante debía traerse entre manos. En febrero el Gobierno de Lukashenko permitió que parte de la ofensiva inicial se desplegase desde su territorio, pero sin que unidades bielorrusas participasen en la misma. Podría suceder que esta vez el ejército bielorruso si se sume al ruso en la invasión poniéndoselo aún más difícil al ejército ucraniano, que tendría que atender a dos frentes muy distantes entre sí. También es posible que simplemente traten de jugar al despiste haciendo creer a los ucranianos que se avecina una ofensiva al norte de Kiev, algo que les obligaría a distraer efectivos del Donbás. No sabemos lo que pasará al final, pero algo se está moviendo al norte de Kiev y eso ya de por sí es motivo de alarma.

This episode examines the evolving Belarus–Russia defence and security relationship at a time when Minsk has become closely intertwined with Russia's war against Ukraine, and as Aleksandr Lukashenko, Belarus' authoritarian president, is increasingly reliant on political support from Russia to remain in power. RUSI's Emily Ferris and Dr Akady Moshes, Programme Director for the EU Eastern Neighbourhood and Russia research programme at the Finnish Institute for International Affairs, discuss with Dr Neil Melvin, RUSI's Director for International Security Studies, the evolving security relationship between Belarus and Russia and the extent to which Belarus has lost its autonomy and has become politically and militarily integrated with Russia

https://youtu.be/gkANpGaWTi8 A View from Afar – In this podcast, political scientist Paul Buchanan and Selwyn Manning examine the Implications of the Russia-Ukrainian conflict and how it impacts on regional security architecture. In particular, we assess Finland and Sweden's move to become NATO members and whether Turkey will prevent this from occurring. Also, this week, Russia's Vladimir Putin hosted the leaders of Russia's equivalent to NATO - the CSTO, which stands for the Collective Security Treaty Organization and includes: Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan. Belarus' authoritarian leader, Aleksandr Lukashenko, was the only leader of the CSTO to speak persuasively about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Paul and I analyse the CSTO meeting and discuss its relevancy from a security and geopolitical perspective and what implications all this has on the East Asia region.

El ministro de Exteriores de China, Wang Yi, informó ayer que China ya está mediando en la guerra desatada tras la invasión de Ucrania por parte de Rusia. Wang Yi asegura que se comprometerán con ayuda humanitaria y la promoción de la paz y el diálogo. Según él se han celebrado ya dos rondas de negociaciones y esperan realizar una tercera esta semana. No parece de cualquier modo que la intercesión de China vaya a conseguir nada sustancial porque el ejército ruso no ha detenido los ataques en momento alguno. Se encuentra en estos momentos sitiando las principales ciudades y bombardea los corredores habilitados para la salida de los refugiados. A Putin, en definitiva, no parece interesarle una desescalada. Las sanciones y el aislamiento internacional no han hecho mella en su ánimo. La campaña se ha tornado mucho más violenta y devastadora con la intención de aplastar la resistencia ucraniana cuanto antes. Hasta el momento China ha mantenido una posición bastante ambigua al respecto. En Pekín han evitado emplear el término “invasión” a la vez que piden respeto por la integridad territorial de todos los países y reclaman a la comunidad internacional que preste atención a las demandas de seguridad de Rusia. China, en suma, no se ha posicionado abiertamente en contra de Rusia, pero tampoco abiertamente a favor. Trata de navegar en aguas revueltas con la idea de sacar partido de todo esto. La posición de China deja a la vista el formidable aislamiento diplomático de Putin. Desde que diese comienzo la invasión el pasado 24 de febrero se ha ido quedando solo. Ninguno de los países encuadrados en los BRICs (Brasil, India y Sudáfrica) le ha apoyado de forma inequívoca. Tan sólo Gobiernos como el de Bashar Al-Assad en Siria, el de Aleksandr Lukashenko en Bielorrusia o el de Nicolás Maduro en Venezuela se han alineado sin fisuras con el Kremlin. Es mucho lo que tienen que agradecer a Putin y así se lo hacen ver. Pero eso es una gota en el océano. Prácticamente toda la comunidad internacional ha condenado la invasión de Ucrania por ir contra el derecho internacional. Xi Jinping no es ajeno a ello. No quiere quemar sus naves apostando por un perdedor. Menos aún en un año crucial como este en el que se celebrará el XX Congreso del Partido Comunista del que espera salir fortalecido y con el encargo de un nuevo mandato. La guerra en Ucrania no le conviene, le coloca en una posición incómoda y le obliga a mostrar sus cartas. Es inevitable no pensar en Taiwán cuando se habla de Ucrania. Y eso es lo que Xi Jinping no quiere bajo ningún concepto. No desea que se relacionen ambos casos, pero es imposible no hacerlo, especialmente cuando en Taiwán todos se miran en el espejo ucraniano y contemplan su reflejo.

El pasado jueves en plena madrugada unidades del ejército ruso cruzaron la frontera de Ucrania pisoteando con ello la soberanía de este país. La invasión, bien planificada desde hace tiempo tal y como hemos tenido ocasión de comprobar después, se centró en el control rápido de una serie de zonas estratégicas de Ucrania. Por un lado, la región del Donbás donde se encuentran las repúblicas rebeldes de Lugansk y Donetsk. Dos días antes Vladimir Putin las había reconocido formalmente, por lo que la mayor parte de observadores y el propio Gobierno ucraniano entendieron que la invasión era inminente. Tras hacerse con relativa facilidad con esa región se dirigieron las tropas rusas hacia la ciudad de Jersón, situada en la costa del mar Negro junto a la desembocadura del río Dniéper, hacia la ciudad de Járkov, cercana a la frontera rusa, y hacia la capital. La última de estas ofensivas partió de territorio bielorruso por lo que hay que concluir que el régimen de Aleksandr Lukashenko no sólo apoyaba, sino que ha terminado participando de forma decisiva en la operación. La intención de esa ofensiva era apoderarse de Kiev en un rápido golpe de mano. Una vez allí lo más seguro es que tratasen de instalar un Gobierno títere para reclamar el alto el fuego y sacar a Occidente de la ecuación. Pero el avance ruso, que fue notable durante el primer día, se fue ralentizando en los días siguientes. Vladimir Putin contaba con que las potencias de la OTAN no intervendrían más allá de las condenas habituales y el envío de ayuda humanitaria, con lo que no contaba era con que los ucranianos se iban a defender valientemente. Eso es lo que ha evitado hasta la fecha que el ejército ruso se haga con la capital. Occidente, entretanto, ha ido desperezándose y con la idea de ponérselo más difícil a Putin ha decretado sanciones, ha sacado al país parcialmente del sistema SWIFT, ha enviado armas y municiones a Ucrania y ha cerrado el espacio aéreo a sus aviones. Esto ya es mucho más de lo que se pensaba, pero no quita el mal sabor de boca que ha dejado esto entre la opinión pública occidental. Muchos se preguntan cómo es posible que las agencias de inteligencia no viesen venir algo así. Cómo podían estar tan en la inopia a pesar de que había indicios más que sobrados que invitaban a pensar en este trágico desenlace. Vladimir Putin llevaba meses concentrando tropas junto a la frontera de Ucrania, pero antes de eso llevaba años cuestionando el orden nacido tras la implosión de la Unión Soviética. Envió muchas señales de que tenía la intención de ampliar la esfera de influencia de Rusia y de que lo haría por las bravas si era necesario.

Today we dive into the inspiring and heartbreaking struggle for freedom in Belarus. I am joined by Valery Kavaleuski, Head of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya's Cabinet of Representatives and the Cabinet's Representative of Foreign Affairs. Mr. Kavaleuski provides a fascinating account of Mrs. Tsikhanouskaya's brave and surprising journey to become the elected and exiled leader of the people of Belarus. Mr. Kavaleuski also shares candid insights with me on the current situation under Aleksandr Lukashenko's dictatorial and illegitimate regime. Mrs. Tsikhanouskaya was underestimated by Belarus' political elite. But she is standing up to dictators in both Belarus and Russia, and she fights for justice for her people and her family. I hope that you enjoy this episode and are inspired and motivated to support the people of Belarus in their struggle for freedom and democracy.

Several thousand people have been camped out in the woods at the Polish border as winter approaches, barred either from entering Poland or returning to Belarus. Mostly from Syria and Iraq, the migrants flew into Belarus on tourist visas, hoping for an easy crossing into the European Union.   Instead, they're trapped in a feud between Belarus' autocratic president, Aleksandr Lukashenko and the European Union.   But what about the local people in the area, who find themselves caught up in a crisis not of their own making?

Thousands of people – mostly migrants from the Middle East - are camped in freezing weather at the Poland-Belarus border. Many have spent thousands of dollars to fly into Belarus on tourist visas, with the hope of an easy crossing into the EU. They're pawns, trapped in a battle of wills between Belarus' autocratic president, Aleksandr Lukashenko, and Poland and the European Union. The Polish government is taking a tough line, imposing an exclusion zone along the border and sealing off the area to journalists and aid workers. Migrants caught in the forest are arrested and sent back to Belarus. Several, including two children, have died from the cold and more deaths are expected as winter sets in. Meanwhile local residents are divided about how to deal with the humanitarian disaster unfolding on their doorstep. For Crossing Continents, Lucy Ash visits towns and villages in the area to see what impact the crisis is having on people's lives.

Adolfo Mesquita Nunes e Mariana Mortágua na emissão desta segunda-feira do Linhas Vermelhas. Em debate, a possibilidade de novas restrições para pessoas não vacinadas contra a covid-19 e a crise de migrantes na fronteira entre a Bielorrússia e a Polónia, a que a presidente da Comissão Europeia Ursula Von der Leyen já apelidou como "ataque híbrido" do regime de Aleksandr Lukashenko. A encerrar, a análise à notícia de que Portugal violou as regras do mercado interno na Zona Franca da Madeira. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For three decades, President Aleksandr Lukashenko of Belarus, a former Soviet nation in Eastern Europe, ruled with an iron fist. But pressure has mounted on him in the past year and a half. After a contested election in 2020, the European Union enacted sanctions and refused to recognize his leadership.In the hopes of bringing the bloc to the negotiating table, Mr. Lukashenko has engineered a migrant crisis on the Poland-Belarus border, where thousands from the Middle East, Africa and Asia have converged.What are the conditions like for those at the border, and will Mr. Lukashenko's political gamble reap his desired results? Guests: Monika Pronczuk, a reporter covering the European Union for The New York Times; and Anton Troianovski, the Moscow bureau chief for The New York Times. Sign up here to get The Daily in your inbox each morning. And for an exclusive look at how the biggest stories on our show come together, subscribe to our newsletter. Background reading: Poland massed thousands of troops on its border with Belarus to keep out Middle Eastern migrants who have set up camp there, as Western officials accuse Belarus's leader of intentionally trying to create a new migrant crisis in Europe.Belarusian authorities on Thursday cleared the encampments at the main border crossing into Poland, removing for the moment a major flashpoint that has raised tensions across the continent.For more information on today's episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

L'apertura di giornata, con le notizie e le voci dei protagonisti.Alle 6:45 con Ekaterina Ziuziuk, portavoce di Supolka Italia, l'associazione dei bielorussi in Italia parliamo della crisi migratoria provocata al confine con la Polonia da Aleksandr Lukashenko, che usa i migranti da Paesi terzi, come Siria, Iraq e Afghanistan, al solo scopo di destabilizzare l'Ue, che oggi varerà nuove sanzioni con la Bielorussia.

A tensão vivida pela atleta Krystsina Tsimanouskaya, ameaçada após se posicionar publicamente e ser convidada a retornar ao seu país de origem (onde foi garantido que sofreria consequências). Além desses últimos movimentos do regime de Aleksandr Lukashenko também comentamos outros casos contemporâneos de atletas que não retornaram ao país de origem após a maior competição esportiva do mundo.

The repressive tactics of the Belarusian state have been back in the news this week – and all over the map. The Olympic Games in Tokyo were shaken by sprinter Krystina Timonovskaya's row with her coaches – she ended up seeking asylum in Poland. In Ukraine, the head of a group helping Belarusian emigres was found hanged in a park in Kyiv; his death is still being investigated. In Belarus itself, it's nearly a year since the disputed election of August 2020 - which sparked mass protests over the result. Since then the government of Aleksandr Lukashenko has been going after people who were involved in the demonstrations with every means to hand. This week, one of the main ‘faces' of the protests went on trial. Sarah Rainsford was in Minsk and has been speaking to family and friends of Maria Kolesnikova. In Nigeria, the mass abduction of children has become a tragically recurring kind of news story: eighty taken in one incident, over 120 in another – just in the past few months. But it's not just crime which is destabilising Nigeria right now. There is the continuing insurgency of the jihadist group Boko Haram in the north, and a crop of separatist movements around the country. As Mayeni Jones reports, the insecurity is now touching even people who'd previously managed to shield themselves from the worst: It sounds like the stuff of a military dictatorship: troops will be out on the streets, enforcing a curfew, with people forbidden to leave their homes except on essential business. But this is Sydney, Australia - where yet another lockdown has been enforced, in in an effort to halt a surge in Covid cases. Different parts of this vast country have adopted their own rules – but one thing all parts of Australia share is a reverence for the traditional character of the “larrikin” – a rebellious, anti-establishment type who doesn't take kindly to rules or regulations of any sort. So, Phil Mercer asks, how has a larrikin-loving nation reacted to such draconian measures? Costa Rica gets a lot of good press for its efforts to preserve nature. It's got an extraordinary array of micro-climates and species, and it's a leading voice in international efforts to tackle climate change. So it's also a hotspot for nature tourists – from bird spotters to those who want to wander into a real live rainforest. But not everything about Costa Rica's government is green – and not all its life forms are friendly. Michelle Jana Chan went for a night walk which shed light on all sorts of wonders… and horrors.

Un'atleta della repubblica ex sovietica della Bielorussia, la velocista Krystsina Tsimanouskaya, ieri avrebbe dovuto correre i 200 metri femminili, ma invece ha defezionato ottenendo asilo nell'ambasciata della Polonia. Presto si recherà a Varsavia come rifugiata politica.La Bielorussia, da agosto, è alle prese con una protesta popolare massiccia contro l'esito (scontato) delle elezioni presidenziali dell'agosto 2020, quelle in cui venne riconfermato ancora, dopo 16 anni ai vertici dello Stato, Aleksandr Lukashenko, dopo un conteggio dei voti alquanto dubbio. Lo sport è sempre stato un tipico canale di propaganda dei regimi comunisti e la Bielorussia, che è rimasta comunista, non fa eccezione. Il presidente del Comitato Olimpico bielorusso dal 1997 è stato lo stesso presidente Lukashenko, caso unico di presidente della repubblica che è anche il presidente del Comitato Olimpico. Solo di recente gli è subentrato il figlio, Viktor, che potrebbe succedergli anche nella carica di capo dello Stato. Colpito da sanzioni per la dura repressione della protesta anti-presidenziale (27mila arresti e l'uso diffuso della tortura nelle carceri), Lukashenko non può recarsi personalmente alle Olimpiadi. I suoi atleti neppure, perché in mille hanno firmato, già un anno fa, all'inizio della protesta, una lettera aperta in cui chiedono le dimissioni del presidente ed elezioni anticipate.LA REPRESSIONE DEL REGIMEDi questi atleti, almeno 95 hanno partecipato alle manifestazioni di piazza e sono stati arrestati, sette sono stati condannati per motivi politici, 60 sono stati licenziati dalla squadra nazionale, hanno perso tutti i finanziamenti (tutto lo sport è statale, in Bielorussia) e hanno subito pressioni per ritrattare. I casi di cui si è occupata maggiormente la nota Ong in difesa dei diritti umani sono quelli di Aliaksandra Herasimienia (tre volte medaglia olimpica di nuoto), licenziata da tutte le scuole di cui era istruttrice per essersi unita alla protesta; Yelena Leuchanka (due volte medaglia olimpica di basket) arrestata nell'agosto del 2020 e condannata a una durissima "detenzione amministrativa" nel famigerato carcere di Аkrestsina; Andrei Krauchanka (una medaglia d'argento in atletica leggera), arrestato nelle prime proteste e sottoposto a carcere duro, dove ha contratto il Covid. Sono casi selezionati di atleti di fama internazionale, ma ce ne sono molti di più nel Paese ex sovietico. In totale, Amnesty International calcola 124 atleti che hanno subito una qualche forma di persecuzione.In una situazione di questo genere devono essere sorte molte difficoltà a formare una squadra olimpica nazionale da inviare a Tokyo e Krystsina Tsimanouskaya, sulla sua pagina Instagram, ha denunciato un'organizzazione caotica e approssimativa. Per sostituire una staffettista che non poteva recarsi ai Giochi, il 29 luglio, sarebbe stata inserita all'ultimo nella 4x400 senza alcuna preparazione, né il necessario preavviso. La sua denuncia ha fatto notizia ed ha causato la comprensibile indignazione dei funzionari bielorussi presenti a Tokyo.LE MINACCE IN STILE SOVIETICOConvocata nella notte dall'allenatore della squadra di atletica leggera e da un alto funzionario del Comitato Olimpico bielorusso, ha subito pressioni e minacce. L'audio dell'incontro è trapelato ed è stato diffuso ieri da Euroradio. Con un linguaggio mafioso, i due dirigenti le hanno detto chiaramente che "sei come una mosca che finisce nella tela di un ragno, più provi a ribellarti più ne rimani avvolta". E per uscire dalla sgradevole situazione, le hanno consigliato di sparire "presso i tuoi genitori" o comunque lontano dai riflettori fino alla fine dello scandalo. La questione sarebbe finita nella rubrica "trattamento duro dei tuoi dipendenti, dopo il loro uso ingenuo dei social network", se non ci fosse stata la successiva defezione dell'atleta.Krystsina Tsimanouskaya, infatti, il 1 agosto avrebbe dovuto essere imbarcata su un aereo a Tokyo, contro la sua volontà, e rispedita a Minsk. Ma si è rivolta alla polizia giapponese, poi ha chiesto aiuto e asilo politico all'Austria, infine ha ottenuto aiuto dalla Polonia che, tramite la sua ambasciata in Giappone, è stata pronta a concedere un visto umanitario alla fuggitiva. Proposte di aiuto sono arrivate anche da altri Paesi che hanno avuto esperienze dirette del comunismo, quali la Slovenia e la Repubblica Ceca. Il marito della velocista, Arseni Zdanevich, ha invece lasciato la Bielorussia alla volta dell'Ucraina.C'è dunque molto di più in ballo rispetto a una normale "lavata di capo". La Tsimanouskaya era certa di essere arrestata una volta tornata in patria. L'esilio volontario del marito dimostra che questo timore si estende anche ai parenti più stretti. Stava già montando una campagna di denigrazione e diffamazione sistematica nei suoi confronti da parte dei media di Stato bielorussi, ulteriore segnale che, tornata a casa, non l'avrebbe fatta franca.Un'associazione sorta per difendere i diritti degli atleti ucraini, la Bssf, ha pagato il biglietto del volo per Varsavia alla Tsimanouskaya. Il 4 agosto, sempre che il suo volo non venga dirottato dai bielorussi (come hanno fatto per arrestare un altro dissidente, Roman Protasevich), sarà al sicuro nella capitale polacca, dove chiederà asilo politico.

Sembra una scena (anche poco credibile) di un film d’azione.

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: The far-right dictator of Belarus used a fighter jet and a fake bomb threat to force down a civilian airliner flying over his country, allowing him to arrest a journalist and dissident who was on board. Meanwhile, Israel’s violence against Gaza is still having ripple effects after a ceasefire, as health officials report hospitals overwhelmed with wounded civilians are now also facing a surge in coronavirus cases. And lastly, the Biden Administration finally granted Temporary Protected Status to thousands of Haitian immigrants living in the U.S., shielding them from deportation back to a country that is dealing with both a political crisis and a brutal COVID epidemic. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: Belarus’ dictator Aleksandr Lukashenko carried out a shocking abduction of a journalist on Sunday, using a fighter jet and a faked bomb plot to force down a civilian airliner carrying the dissident and then arresting him on the ground. On Sunday, dissident journalist Roman Protasevich was on a Ryanair flight from Greece to Vilnius, Poland, where he has been living in exile. Protasevich is the 26-year-old former editor of NEXTA, a channel on the Telegram app that has become one of Belarus’s largest opposition media companies. The flight passed through Belarussian airspace, at which point Belarussian air traffic control claimed that there was a bomb threat aboard. Lukashenko then used that as pretext to personally order Mig-29 fighter jet up to force the plane to land in Minsk, although it was by that time far closer to its destination of Vilnius, according to the BBC. After seven hours on the tarmac in Minsk, the flight eventually made it to Vilnius. But Protasevich was not aboard, as he had been abducted by Belarussian agents when the plane was forced to land. One passenger on the flight told AFP quote: “He was not screaming, but it was clear that he was very much afraid. It looked like if the window had been open, he would have jumped out of it.” Protasevich reportedly told other passengers that he was facing the death penalty. Lukashenko has, in recent months, brutally repressed protests against his authoritarian rule, but has been staunchly defended by the Russian government and faced little to no consequences for his policies. European governments and the U.S. have strongly denounced the shocking hijacking, but it’s unclear what concrete action they can or actually will take -- prior sanctions on the Lukashenko regime have clearly done little to dampen his brazen authoritarianism. Gaza Sees Rise in Covid Cases Israel agreed to stop its outright bombardment of the Gaza strip on Friday, but the aftershocks of its brutal campaign of violence are still shaking the captive population there. According to the Washington Post, Gaza’s hospitals are starting to experience a new wave of COVID cases, as Israel’s bombardment forced many residents into close-packed bomb shelters. Those cases are in addition to the 1,900 people who were injured directly by Israel’s bombing. To make matters worse, the Post reports that an airstrike destroyed the only lab in Gaza that was doing PCR tests for COVID. All of this is even more outrageous when you consider the disparities between Israel and Gaza’s access to the vaccine. Outside of the strip, Israel has conducted one of the most successful vaccination campaigns in the world. But inside Gaza, only 2 percent of the population has been vaccinated. Much of this shortage is in thanks in part to the Israeli blockade that stops medical supplies getting through to people there. Even before the recent bombardment, Gaza’s ICUs were completely swamped. The country has only 60 ICU beds for a population of almost 2 million. The International Red Cross said that damage inflicted by Israel during the conflict cut water supplies in Gaza by 40 percent and had cut power to 700,000 Gazans at one point or another. Lest we forget: all of this damage is intentional. Israel knows what will happen when it drops its bombs. And even though it claims to be targeting Hamas, it’s Gaza’s citizens who suffer the most. Biden Gives Haitians Protected Status Some good news from the Biden Administration. Biden’s head of the DHS announced on Saturday that Haitians living in the U.S. would be extended Temporary Protected Status, reversing Trump-era efforts to deport them or force them out of the country. Some 150,000 Haitians have been living in the U.S. since the devastating 2010 earthquake, and recent political crises and the pandemic there have only made their predicament more dire. Alejandro Mayorkas, the head of the DHS, acknowledged that the country’s recent plight has made it all the more important to offer these people shelter. The temporary protected status order will last for 18 months, and is a continuation of policies the Obama administration started for Haitians after the 2010 quake. The New York Times reports that it originally stems from a 1990 law that allowed foreigners who had to flee their homes because of natural disasters and conflict to work and live in the United States. This decision is far from fixing the disastrous trend of U.S. immigration policy, but it will certainly be a welcome relief for thousands of Haitians fearing for their lives and livelihoods. The U.S. was founded to offer refuge to the needy, and policies like this are the least we can do to live up to that ideal. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: Some more good news for the coronavirus watch in the U.S. Our cases are down to their lowest rate since last summer, with fewer than 30,000 new cases a day. That’s still a lot, but at least 50 percent of Americans have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine now, so we should see those continue to drop. The Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Jack Read, said on Sunday that he supports assigning independent prosecutors to sexual assault cases in the military, cutting out the role that unit commanders had played in investigating their own troops. Shareholders at Tribune Publishing, the company that owns the Chicago Tribune and many other newspapers, approved a sale of the company to Alden Global Capital, one of the most bloodthirsty vulture capital funds that has been destroying newspaper chains across the country, in another blow to the greater journalism industry. In news that should surprise no one, GOP Senator Rand Paul has announced he will not get the COVID vaccine. What can we say -- I guess the only thing Rand is afraid of is that neighbor who beat the crap out of him a few years back, and not a deadly pandemic. A smart guy, that Rand.

El presidente de Bielorrusia, que enfrenta desde hace semana y media protestas en su contra que tienen su epicentro en Minsk pero que ya se han extendido por todo el país, aseguró hace dos días que estaba dispuesto a compartir el poder, pero fijando él los términos de la operación. Conforme avanzan los días su posición es cada vez más frágil y no sólo por las manifestaciones que, obviamente, están teniendo mucha importancia, sino porque Moscú le está dando la espalda. El cuarto de siglo que Aleksandr Lukashenko ha gobernado sin cortapisas en Bielorrusia se ha cimentado sobre el apoyo decidido por parte de los sucesivos Gobiernos rusos. Tanto Boris Yeltsin como Vladimir Putin utilizaron a Lukashenko como un títere para aumentar la influencia del Kremlin en el país hasta el punto de convertirlo en algo parecido a un protectorado. Eso no va a cambiar, pero si podría hacerlo el encargado de administrar ese protectorado, un hombre ya amortizado, con demasiados frentes abiertos y cuyas relaciones con Putin no atraviesan su mejor momento. Lukashenko podría no llegar a fin de año, pero lo más probable es que su régimen se mantenga.

El pasado domingo se celebraron elecciones presidenciales en Bielorrusia, un pequeño país de 9,5 millones de habitantes emparedado entre Rusia, Ucrania, Polonia y las repúblicas bálticas. El ganador de las mismas fue por sexta vez consecutiva Aleksandr Lukashenko, un antiguo funcionario soviético que rige los destinos del país con mano de hierro desde hace 26 años. La victoria de Lukashenko el domingo fue, como en todas las ocasiones anteriores, arrolladora. Se hizo con el 80% de los votos, pero la oposición, capitaneada por la independiente Svetlana Tijanovskaya denunció fraude electoral en medio de un levantamiento popular que ha ido ganando volumen a lo largo de los dos últimos días. Tijanovskaya abandonó ayer el país y se exilió en la vecina Lituania al tiempo que pedía a los bielorrusos que no se enfrenten a la policía para evitar males mayores. La policía bielorrusa reprime con gran dureza cualquier tipo de manifestación contra un régimen apoyado por el Kremlin, pero fuertemente cuestionado por la Unión Europea. Es posible que si los problemas internos en Bielorrusia se intensifican el asunto escale y se forme un nuevo foco conflicto entre Moscú y Bruselas. Pero lo cierto es que nada importante se despacha allí. Lukashenko lleva un cuarto de siglo ejerciendo un poder sin cortapisas. Los rusos podrían prescindir de él, pero no de su régimen.
