Podcasts about Alexei Navalny

Silicon Bites Ep286 | 2026-02-16 | Britain and four European allies now say Alexei Navalny wasn't just ‘mistreated' in prison — he was poisoned with a rare neurotoxin linked to poison dart frogs. Finally, they're naming it. Some of us always believe he was deliberately killed, but would not have expected that such a rare, expensive and theatrical poison would have been used. It seems that the cruelty and callousness of Moscow is matched by its penchant for theatrical murder. On 14 February 2026, the UK Foreign Office published a statement saying lab work found epibatidine in samples from Navalny's body — calling it “the deadly toxin found in the skin of Ecuador dart frogs.” The UK says it was found in Navalny's body and “highly likely resulted in his death,” and adds: “There is no innocent explanation for its presence.” (GOV.UK)And the UK didn't do this alone. Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands issued a joint statement: their national laboratories' analysis “conclusively confirmed” epibatidine. They say it isn't found naturally in Russia — which is the point: you don't accidentally pick up a toxin sourced from South American dart frogs inside a Russian penal colony.

This week, we look into the science behind Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny's death, caused by dart frog poison, and why Russia resorted to such an exotic means of dispatch at all. Also, how cat cancer genomics can provide new insights into human malignancies, and - more with a whimper than a bang - how a dying star skipped the supernova and became an instant black hole.

Apriamo la nostra rassegna di attualità con la Conferenza sulla sicurezza a Monaco, che si è svolta lo scorso fine settimana. Poi parleremo delle accuse rivolte al Cremlino per l'avvelenamento, avvenuto due anni fa, del noto leader dell'opposizione russa Alexei Navalny. La nostra sezione scientifica è dedicata a uno studio secondo cui la stimolazione elettrica del cervello può rendere le persone meno egoiste.

Today's Headlines: The fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files escalated after the Department of Justice released a letter signed by Deputy AG Todd Blanche outlining redactions and listing “politically exposed” names — mostly celebrities and public figures already publicly referenced. Attorney General Pam Bondi said no additional files will be released, despite reports that millions of pages remain sealed. Consequences are, at least, unfolding abroad. Thomas Pritzker stepped down from Hyatt Hotels Corporation. Buckingham Palace backed a police investigation into Prince Andrew, while French authorities assembled a team to examine related allegations. Investigations also involve former Norwegian PM Thorbjørn Jagland and port executive Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem. European leaders are weighing alternatives to Visa and Mastercard over economic security concerns, as the EU and Indo-Pacific partners — with Canadian PM Mark Carney — discuss forming a major trade bloc. At the Munich Security Conference, Secretary of State Marco Rubio sought to reassure allies amid doubts about U.S. commitment to NATO, reportedly skipping EU leadership meetings while meeting Hungary's Viktor Orbán and Slovakia's Robert Fico. A joint European report concluded Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was killed with a rare synthetic toxin; Russia rejected the findings. In domestic news, ICE is planning a $38 billion detention expansion, including a Georgia warehouse purchased from Moscow-linked PNK Group at a steep markup. A separate report detailed turbulence inside DHS under Secretary Kristi Noem, including private jet travel and the firing — then rehiring — of a Coast Guard pilot over a misplaced blanket. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the Pentagon will end graduate partnerships with Harvard University and review similar programs. A federal grand jury declined to indict Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin over a video about refusing illegal orders. Meanwhile, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revised 2024–2025 job numbers down by more than 1.5 million combined — the largest downward revision in decades. And finally, former President Barack Obama clarified he's seen no evidence of extraterrestrials visiting Earth.

Day 1,453.Today, amid fresh Russian bombardments and reports of Ukrainian counter-operations, we step back to assess the broader strategic picture on the battlefield – and ask what 2026 could bring if peace talks collapse. We then report from the Munich Security Conference, where American voices, including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, set out competing visions for US involvement in Europe, and Belarus warned about Moscow's nuclear expansion. Then we cover President Zelensky's candid remarks, and examine the extraordinary claims from British intelligence that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was killed with a toxin derived from a frog on the orders of Vladimir Putin.ContributorsFrancis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Venetia Rainey (Co-host Battle Lines podcast). @venetiarainey on X.Adélie Pojzman-Pontay (Journalist and Producer). @adeliepjz on X.Rozina Sabur (National Security Editor). @RozinaSabur on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

It was the show that taught us to "smize" while normalising questionable practices, it was America's Next Top Model . This week, Netflix drops "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model," a three-part autopsy of the 24-cycle juggernaut that defined early 2000s reality TV, but what's the point of it?

And in headlines today, Thirty-four ‌Australians released from a camp holding families of suspected Islamic State militants in northern Syria have returned to ‌the detention centre due to "technical reasons"; The Kremlin has rejected accusations from five European countries that they killed jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny with toxin from ‌a poisonous frog; US media are reporting that the investigation into the disappearance of TV show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother is now leaning away from suspecting family members; Ed Sheeran told the crowd in Sydney that he no longer has a mobile phone because of the lawsuit brought against him in 2015 THE END BITS Support independent women's media Check out The Quicky Instagram here GET IN TOUCHShare your story, feedback, or dilemma!
