Extreem laag water is geen uitzondering meer; het is steeds vaker de realiteit. Dat is slecht nieuws voor Nederland, want zo'n 40% van alle vracht gaat over het water. Binnenvaartschepen kunnen minder lading meenemen, transport wordt duurder en bedrijven moeten uitwijken naar vrachtwagens. Hoe kwetsbaar is Nederland als doorvoerland? En is de binnenvaart inmiddels beter voorbereid dan tijdens vorige droogteperiodes? Transportredacteur Hans de Jongh vertelt hoe groot de economische gevolgen kunnen zijn. Lees: Laag water als het nieuwe normaal bedreigt Nederland doorvoerland Het is misschien wel de meest mysterieuze afdeling van Shell: de handelstak. Terwijl oorlogen en geopolitieke spanningen de olie- en gasprijzen flink laten schommelen, verdienen handelaren juist aan die onrust. Het levert Shell naar verwachting opnieuw miljarden op. Maar hoeveel precies? Dat blijft een goed bewaard geheim. En ook de vraag waar die winsten uiteindelijk terechtkomen leidt tot discussie. Energieredacteur Jeroen Groot dook in de gesloten wereld van Shells handelstak. Lees: De lucratieve miljardenhandel van Shell blijft in nevelen gehuld Andrea Pirlo leek de ideale kandidaat om het Italiaanse voetbal uit het slop te trekken. Toch ging zijn benoeming als bondscoach op het laatste moment niet door. De reden: zijn banden met een Russisch gokbedrijf. De ophef legt een bredere discussie bloot, want Italië blijkt nog altijd opvallend verdeeld over Rusland. Hoe komt dat? En welke rol speelt die verdeeldheid in de Italiaanse politiek? We bespreken het met Italië-correspondent Marc Leijendekker.

Ukrainian deep-strike drones are acting as mechanical Bobbit worms—buried deep in the operational rear, snapping Russia's supply chains in half. In Episode 2.47, we wade through the ashes of burning logistics hubs, examine the return of Soviet-style digital price-fixing, and dissect the escalating panic inside the Kremlin elite. From 154 destroyed energy nodes in occupied Crimea to the Ryazan Wildberries double-tap, the "careful war" is bleeding out. Meanwhile, State Duma Speaker Volodin orders the public "not to vibrate" while the FSB hunts imaginary New Zealand spies in Siberia. We cap it all off with the downfall of Andrea Pirlo and our formal endorsement of Count Binface for the Clacton by-election.Become our patron:https://www.patreon.com/theeasternborderMerch store + another option for memberships:https://theeasternborder-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow what's going on here in the very border of Eastern Europe:https://bsky.app/profile/theeasternborder.lvDownload all episodes for free on our website; pictures accompanying certain episodes can be found there as well!http://theeasternborder.lv/Car4Ukraine Eastern Border Summer Campaign!https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/summer-sunshine-trucks-2026-eastern-borderYouTube - as this one has visuals:https://youtu.be/_ChUkgwosqQSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.

Achterin ging er van alles mis bij de Eindhovense club. Ajax en Feyenoord wonnen wel hun oefenduels, met 2-1 van Burnley en Rayo Vallecano.

De er der alle sammen. Fodboldlegenderne. Fra Karl-Heinz Rumenigge, Jürgen Klinsmann, over Roberto Baggio, Gabriel Batistuta og til John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Gianluigi Buffon, Andrea Pirlo, Ronaldinho og den brasilianske Ronaldo. I en 30 minutter lang video produceret af Fifa hylder de Gianni Infantino i anledningen af hans 10 års jubilæum som præsident for verdensfodbolden. Og til sidst dukker han så selv op. Siddende i en lys læderstol, i mørkeblåt jakkesæt og med et billede af sig selv og Donald Trump i baggrunden, takker Gianni Infantino alle for støtten. Han ligner det, som han er. En urørlig præsident, som lige har modtaget sit folks hyldest. Men hvordan endte Infantino med at blive fodboldens enevældige hersker? Og med at gnubbe skuldre med alverdens demagoger og diktatorer fra Vladimir Putin, over Mohammed Bin Salman og til Donald Trump? Var det virkelig Trump, der fik overtalt Infantino til at fjerne den amerikanske angriber, Folarin Baloguns, karantæne? Og hvor er protesterne? Det fortæller journalist på Politiken Jeppe Laursen Brock om her i andet afsnit om Fifas enevældige præsident. Jeppe er i flere måneder dykket ned i Infantinos historie. Både gennem interviews og lækkede, hemmelige dokumenter. Vært og producer: Jonas Schrøder-Andreasen Redaktør: Nina Kragh I vores nye app Politiken Lyd kan du også høre første afsnit af miniserien om Infantino, hvor vi taler om, hvordan Gianni Infantino gik fra at være oprører til i kritikeres øjne at være billedet på alt det, der er galt med moderne fodbold.

Summer 2006. Italian football was in crisis. Just weeks before the World Cup began, the Calciopoli scandal exploded, threatening to tear Serie A apart. Juventus would be relegated, titles stripped, and some of Italy's biggest clubs found themselves at the centre of the biggest scandal in modern Italian football. Many believed the Azzurri were finished before a ball had even been kicked. But what followed was one of the greatest World Cup campaigns ever seen. Led by the brilliance of Andrea Pirlo, the leadership of Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluigi Buffon, and a team spirit forged in adversity, Marcello Lippi's men would navigate controversy, drama, extra-time heartbreaks, a legendary semi-final against Germany, and one of the most infamous moments in football history. This is the story of Italy's victory at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Ps. We've had to reschedule our interview with Mirko Di Natale regarding the Juventus deep dive to next Monday due to unforeseen events. So instead we're publishing this historic throwback.

This is Paul Pogba like you've never seen him before.In one of his most open and honest conversations, Pogba sits down with Rio Ferdinand to talk through the moments that defined his career and the personal struggles that shaped the person behind the player.From growing up at Manchester United's academy alongside (and fighting) Ravel Morrison, to learning from legends like Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Rio himself, Pogba reveals what it really took to survive in one of football's most demanding environments - and why he felt he had to leave when he did.He opens up on the reality of his second spell at Manchester United, the pressure of his world-record transfer fee, the lack of clarity or plan for his role in the team, and why he believes the environment at the club made it difficult to succeed.Pogba reveals that he did not know who Graeme Souness was until Rio gave him some detail on his career and achievements within the game which prompts a fascinating discussion about how he felt the media misunderstood him.But this conversation goes far deeper than football.Pogba speaks candidly about family issues, betrayal, and the emotional toll it took on him and those closest to him - including the impact it had on his mother. He also reflects on his time away from the game, the challenges of being out of football, and what it's been like watching from the sidelines with his children asking when he'll return.There are also powerful insights into his career highs — winning the World Cup with France, his relationship with stars such as Kylian Mbappé and how players like Andrea Pirlo, N'Golo Kanté and Antonio Conte helped elevate his game to another level.Plus:Why consistency of position is everything at the elite levelHis honest thoughts on Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, Kevin De Bruyne, Scott McTominay and modern midfield rolesThe truth about his relationship with José MourinhoAnd why he will never change who he isThis is a rare, unfiltered look at one of football's most talked-about players - in his own words.

Are Arsenal F.C. doing it again? Another late-season stumble has fans questioning whether this team is truly ready to win the Premier League—or if expectations have gotten ahead of reality. We dive into the growing scrutiny on Mikel Arteta and ask the big question: if Arsenal end the season without silverware, is it time to seriously reconsider the project? Plus, we react to Liverpool F.C.'s massive Merseyside derby win over Everton F.C. and what it means for the European race. Then we're joined by NYCFC cult hero and Brooklyn FC midfielder Tommy McNamara for an unforgettable conversation. He shares stories from the early days of New York City FC, including what it was like learning from Frank Lampard, carpooling to training with Andrea Pirlo, and being part of one of the most unique locker rooms in MLS history. We also dive into his experiences playing under Bruce Arena and why he believes Arena is the greatest coach in MLS history. From veteran leadership to life after soccer, Tommy opens up about what he's learned throughout his career and what the future might hold once his playing days are over.   Timestamps: (13:15) – Is Arteta to blame for Arsenal's continued collapses?

pWotD Episode 3209: Igor Tudor Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 287,063 views on Friday, 13 February 2026 our article of the day is Igor Tudor.Igor Tudor (born 16 April 1978) is a Croatian professional football manager and former player who is the current interim manager of Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.Capable of playing either as a defender or defensive midfielder, Tudor spent most of his playing career at Juventus, winning several trophies during that time. He was a part of the Croatia national team at UEFA Euro 2004, the 2006 and 1998 World Cup, but missed the 2002 World Cup due to injury. Tudor announced his retirement on 22 July 2008 at age 30, after problems with his right ankle reappeared. He spent his final season playing for his youth club, Hajduk Split.As manager, Tudor took charge of Hajduk from 2013 to 2015, and spent eight months with PAOK in the 2015–16 season. In Turkey, he managed Karabükspor from 2016 to 2017, and Galatasaray in 2017. From April to June 2018, Tudor managed Serie A side Udinese and in that time, saved the club from relegation to Serie B. In March 2019, he came back to Udinese. After he returned to Hajduk in January 2020, Andrea Pirlo invited Tudor to join his coaching staff at Juventus in August 2020, an offer which Tudor accepted. He became manager of Marseille in 2022 before leaving the club after one season in 2023. In March 2024, he returned to Serie A and was appointed as manager of Lazio before resigning at the end of the season. In March 2025, he returned to Juventus in the position of manager but was sacked in October after a poor start to the season. In February 2026, he joined Tottenham Hotspur.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:37 UTC on Saturday, 14 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Igor Tudor on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Salli.

Er war kein Lautsprecher. Kein Sprinter. Kein Mann der großen Gesten. Und genau deshalb wurde er zur Legende. Andrea Pirlo entschied Spiele nicht durch Tempo sondern durch Timing. Er dirigierte das Spiel, ohne es zu dominieren. Und er zeigte der Welt, dass man voraus sein kann, ohne sich zu bewegen. In dieser Folge erzählen wir, wie ein stiller Hochbegabter mit Spielintelligenz zur Weltkarriere fand, wie ein Trainerwechsel ihn neu erfand, wie er Italien 2006 zum WM-Titel führte und warum ihn die Nacht von Istanbul bis heute nicht loslässt.
