Putin har lärt sig av Irans sanktionsmaffia och lyckas runda västs sanktioner och sälja olja över pristaket med hjälp av en skuggflotta. Detta avsnitt sändes första gången den 10 maj 2024. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Västvärlden har infört historiskt hårda sanktioner mot Ryssland efter den fullskaliga invasionen av Ukraina 2022. Men trots det fortsätter pengar att rulla in i krigsindustrin, då Ryssland ställt om sin ekonomi och sin handel. Och då Ryssland via en så kallad skuggflotta kan sälja olja över pristaket på 60 dollar fatet, som är en del av sanktionerna. Konflikt åker till Skagen, till Jyllands nordligaste spets och hittar fartyg som flaggar för Gabon, Antigua Barbuda och Panama, och en stor svart oljetanker som misstänks tanka den ryska skuggflottan. Skagenbon Ole Riis ser dagligen skuggflottan inifrån i sitt arbete som lots.– Det är galet att de kan ligga här och bunkra ostört, säger han.Ryssland har kunnat ställa om och köpa in en skuggflotta rekordsnabbt. Men de har haft en bra konsult: Iran, som efter decennier av sanktioner skapat ett parallellt system för att runda sanktionerna och en så kallad sanktionsmaffia. Medverkande: Ole Riis, Skagenbo och lots, Jakob Kjøgx Bohr, undersökande journalist vid Danwatch, Nadereh Chamlou, analytiker vid den amerikanska tankesmedjan Atlantic Council, Tobias Billström, utrikesminister, Maria Berlin, nationalekonom vid Handelshögskolan, Mattias Lindholm, kommunikatör Kustbevakningen mflProgramledare: Fernando Ariasfernando.arias@sr.seReporter: Rouzbeh DjalaieTekniker: Fabian BegnertProducent: Anja Sahlberganja.sahlberg@sr.se

Nach langem Zögern hat sich nach Grenada, Dominica, Antigua & Barbuda und St Kitts & Nevis auch Saint Lucia dazu entschieden, das gemeinsame Memorandum zur Neuausrichtung der lokalen Citizenship by Investment Programme (CIP) zu unterschreiben. Wenn Du dich bereits entschlossen hast, einen karibischen Zweitpass zu erwerben, dann hast du vielleicht jetzt noch die Möglichkeit, den Pass von St Lucia zu den alten Konditionen zu erwerben (je nachdem, wann du dieses Video anschaust...). Eine zweite Staatsbürgerschaft ist die optimale Versicherungspolice gegen Besteuerung per Staatsbürgerschaft, Wehrpflicht, Vermögensabgabe und Pandemie-Lockdowns. Auf Druck der EU haben damit nun alle 5 karibischen Kleinstaaten gelobt, den von der EU Kommission scharf kritisierten Missbrauch der CIPs durch Kriminelle und andere unerwünschte Personen (z.B. Russen, Iraner...) zu bekämpfen. Dies soll im Wesentlichen dadurch erreicht werden, dass die Due Diligence bei den Passanträgen verschärft wird - und dadurch, dass die Gebühr für den Zweitpass stark erhöht, d.h. verdoppelt, wird. Die EU drohte offen damit, den visumsfreien Zugang zum Schengenraum für Bürger der 5 Staaten zu stoppen - einer der Hauptvorteile der Karibikpässe. St Lucia, wo der Pass zur Zeit noch $100.000 kostet, hat sich noch nicht entschieden, wann es die Änderungen einführen will. Die anderen vier Länder erhöhen die Preise zum 01.07.2024. Auch wenn es unwahrscheinlich erscheint, dass St Lucia sich diesem Zeitplan jetzt noch überstürzt anschliesst, ist alles möglich.

In dieser brisanten Folge zeige ich Dir, wie Du Deine Freiheit mit einem zweiten Pass bewahren kannst.  China betreibt rund 100 geheime Polizeistationen weltweit, um seine Bürger zu im Ausland zu überwachen bzw. Zu kontrollieren. Zwar sind wir in Europa noch nicht so weit, aber we weiss, was in 3-5 Jahren bereits Realität sein könnte. Angesichts der Tatsache, dass die Europäische Union im Januar 2024 umfassende Maßnahmen beschlossen hat – darunter die Einrichtung eines Vermögensregisters, die Beschränkung der Barzahlungen und die Gründung einer neuen Superbehörde namens AMLA scheint sich auch die EU in eine ähnlich totalitäre Richtung wie China zu bewegen. Entdecke in diesem Video, warum Länder wie St. Lucia, Grenada, Dominica und Antigua & Barbuda, die Staatsbürgerschaften durch Investitionen anbieten, eine wertvolle Alternative für diejenigen darstellen, die sich nach mehr Sicherheit und Privatsphäre sehnen. Erfahre, wie ein zweiter Pass Dich vor übergriffigen Steuergesetzen und Überwachung schützen kann.  Dies ist Deine Chance, Dich proaktiv für Deine persönliche und finanzielle Freiheit einzusetzen.

Each decade since the mid-1990s, the United Nations has convened a high-level international summit – bringing together small-island governments, large-state donor partners, international organisations and representatives from civil society – to agree the next ten-year agenda for Small Island Developing States' (SIDS) development diplomacy. The fourth of these conferences (SIDS4) will take place in Antigua-Barbuda in May 2024, under the theme ‘Charting the Course Toward Resilient Prosperity'.SIDS4 is the most important of these decennial conferences so far, taking place at a critical juncture in the global context and at an especially challenging time for small island states. Consequently, Emily and Matt devote the entirety of this episode to a roundtable discussion with three key protagonists in the SIDS4 process:Tumasie Blair, Antigua-Barbuda's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UNAmbassador Fatumanava-o-Upolu III Dr Pa'olelei Luteru of Samoa, Chair of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) and Permanent Representative of Samoa (the 2014 host state)Dr Simona Marinescu, Senior Advisor on SIDS at the UN Office for Project Services (UNOPS)The episode explores what will happen at SIDS4, how the agenda has been developed, and in which policy areas SIDS will make the biggest demands of the international community. Looking ahead to the new 10-year agenda that will replace The SAMOA Pathway, Emily and Matt ask 'What can we expect from the Antigua-Barbuda Accord for SIDS (ABAS) 2024-34?' and, crucially, 'How will it deliver genuinely “resilient prosperity"?'.Featuring:Emily Wilkinson (host) | RESI Director and Senior Research Fellow at ODIMatthew Bishop (host) | RESI Director and Senior Lecturer at the University of SheffieldFatumanava-o-Upolu III Dr Pa'olelei Luteru | AOSIS Chair and Permanent Representative of Samoa to the UNTumasie Blair | Deputy Permanent Representative of Antigua-Barbuda to the UNSimona Marinescu | Senior Advisor on SIDS, UNOPSResources:Programme page | Resilient and Sustainable Islands Initiative (RESI)RESI policy brief | A Global Bargain for Resilient Prosperity in SIDSSIDS4 website | 4th International Conference on Small Island Developing StatesRESI summary on SIDS4 preparatory process | Preparatory meetings for the Fourth International Conference on Small Island Developing States: participation, priorities and outcomesSIDS Future Forum information | ODI webpageRegister to attend the SIDS Future Forum | Island Innovation's website Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of "Small Islands, Big Picture", Emily and Matthew look at the United Nation's new Multidimensional Vulnerability Index (MVI), how it relates to age-old debates about small-state vulnerability, and why it could lead to a long-overdue shift in the allocation of international aid. In "Island Voices", Theresa Meki speaks about the meaning of vulnerability and George Carter highlights different aspects of SIDS' vulnerability that need to be considered. In "The Big Picture", Fatumanava-o-Upolu III Dr Pa'olelei Luteru reports on how work on the MVI is proceeding. In "No Stupid Questions", Emily and Matt answer "Does thinking of Small Island Developing States through the prism of vulnerability risk infantilising them?".Featuring:Emily Wilkinson (host) | RESI Director and Senior Research Fellow, ODIMatthew Bishop (host) | RESI Director and Senior Lecturer, University of SheffieldGaston Browne | Prime Minister of Antigua-Barbuda and Co-Chair, UN High-Level Panel on the MVIFatumanava-o-Upolu III Dr Pa'olelei Luteru | Permanent Respresentative of Samoa, UN High-Level Panel on the MVITheresa Meki | Department of Pacific Affairs, Australian National UniversityGeorge Carter | RESI Co-director and Department of Pacific Affairs, Australian National UniversityResources:ODI event | Putting the Glasgow Climate Pact into action: accounting for vulnerabilityProgramme page | Resilient and Sustainable Islands Initiative (RESI)Policy brief | A global bargain for resilient prosperity in Small Island Developing StatesUN website | Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States“Small Islands, Big Picture” is a new podcast from The Resilient and Sustainable Islands Initiative (RESI) and ODI which will shine a spotlight on the unique challenges and remarkable resilience of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) around the world.

Hi friends! Welcome to another exciting episode on The Spiritualist. Today I am interviewing Nicole, from the Goddess Moves - where we dive into all things surrounding the womb. Many of us have gotten out of touch with our sacred wombs, and have succumb to societal shame around our monthly cycle. Today we dive into how we can dispel shame, and establish deeper connection with our sacred selves. On this episode we will learn more about where to start with our own womb healing, clear shame and trauma from this space,  and how our ancestors also play a role in liberation of this sacred energy. Learn more about Nicole:Nicole is a Womb Priestess, Alchemical Movement/Ritual facilitator, mentor, writer, speaker, entrepreneur, educator and Sacred Activist.

Donald talks the nation and about his visit there (2:29) and then Jonathan is the contestant on REAL TEAM OR FAKE TEAM (26:10). Recorded at The Russell in Nashville, Tennessee.

Velkommen til endnu en episode optaget ved The Extraordinary Travel Festival i Jerevan, Armenien for to måneder siden. Og i denne kan du møde Romaine fra Jamaica, David fra Taiwan og Odette fra Filippinerne. De har alle netop fuldført deres mål om at besøge alle 193 FN-nationer i verden, og de var alle de første i deres respektive hjemlande til at gøre det. Romaine Welds Romaine Welds er født og opvokset på Jamaica. Han immigrerede til USA i 2007, hvilket rent faktisk var den første gang han var i et fly og rejste til et fremmed land. Lige nu bor han i San Francisco, hvor han arbejder for et amerikansk flyselskab, som har givet ham mulighed for at rejse rundt i verden. Som barn elskede Romaine at se shows på National Geographic, hvor han kunne rejse verden rundt i fantasien. Og dengang kunne han på ingen måde forestille sig, at han en dag skulle gøre det i virkeligheden, og da slet ikke til alle lande. Han ville heller aldrig have troet på, at han skulle være den første fra Caribien, der ville opnå dette. Hans sidste land var Antigua & Barbuda. Det blev forsinket på grund af orkanen Fiona, som lavede massive ødelæggelser rundt omkring i Caribien i september 2022. Hun var skyld i oversvømmelser, strømafbrud og smadrede infrastrukturen i flere af landene. For resten, hvis du vil høre mere om Romaines sidste land, så har jeg udgivet tre episoder herfra. Det er episode 170-172 og du kan finde dem i din podcast app. Find dem ved at klikke her. David Yang Vores anden gæst er den 57-årige David Yang. Han er født i Taiwan og har arbejdet indenfor elektronik, videospil og legetøj, i International Business Development. Han har på den made besøgt mange lande som en del af sit arbejde. Han er den første fra Taiwan, der har rejst til alle lande, men som Romaine bor han også i USA. David startede med at besøge de lande han manglede i 2016, efter at have mødt en anden rejsende, som overbeviste ham om at stræbe efter det. På dette tidspunkt manglede han en tredjedel og han nåede sit mål i juli i år. Nu har han sat sig et nyt mål: At fuldføre 300 destinationer på Travel Century Club-listen. Hele TCC-listen indeholder 330 lande og territorier, så det er mit gæt, at han vil gå efter den komplette liste, når han har nået de 300.   Odette Ricasa Den sidste “193 baby” er den 77-årige, Odette Ricasa, som blev den første filippiner, der formåede at rejse til alle lande, da hun ankom til sit sidste land på FN-listen, Irak, i august 2022. Hun har også været i alle syv kontinenter – det mål nåede hun tilbage i 2015. Hun er et aktivt medlem af “Philippine Global Explorers”, hvor hun leder afdelingen i det vestlige USA, er en succesful billedkunstner med over hundrede malerier, hun er foredragsholder, en talentfuld pianist og forfatter af seks rejsebøger. Talebesked fra en lytter Jeg har modtaget en talebesked fra en lytter: Steven Ramsey, som er en amerikaner, der bor i Bandung, Indonesien. Han fortæller mig bl.a., at han lytter til Radiovagabond, mens han kører rundt på sin scooter.   Tak skal du have, Steven. Fedt at høre at jeg er med dig i ørene på din scooter rundt i Indonesien. Jeg håber ikke, du bliver forvirret, hvis jeg laver optagelser i trafikken. Jeg kan lige se dig kigge dig selv over skulderen, hvis der er en lastbil eller et bilhorn i mine optagelser. Jeg vil helst ikke være skyld i ulykker, så pas nu på dig selv. Men det er faktisk noget, jeg selv gør (altså lytter til podcasts), når jeg kører rundt på scooter her på Koh Lanta i Thailand, hvor jeg er lige nu. Jeg tager mit Bluetooth headset i ørerne inde under hjelmen, og det smarte er, at jeg også kan få Google Maps til at fortælle mig, hvilken vej jeg skal køre. Faktisk var det i Indonesien, jeg gjorde dette for første gang. Ikke i Bandung, men på Bali. Og jeg må med skam erkende, at Bali er den eneste del af Indonesien, jeg indtil videre har besøgt. Og selvom Bali er skøn, er det slet ikke godt nok. Jeg bliver selv irriteret, når jeg møder folk, der har været i Danmark, men kun har været i København. Ja, København er fantastisk, men der er så meget mere at se rundt i landet. Så Steven, jeg vil meget gerne se meget mere af Indonesien, og jeg tager dig på ordet med hensyn til at besøge dig i Bandung. Jeg har spurgt Steven ind til, hvordan en amerikaner ender med at bo i Bandung og ikke på Bali som så mange andre amerikanere. Og det er en meget lang og spændende historie, som du må have til gode til den dag jeg besøger ham, og får ham til at fortælle den her i podcasten.   Har du også lyst til at give lyd fra dig? Det er så fedt at høre, at der er liv på den anden side ude ved højtalerne eller hovedtelefonerne. Du kan sende en talebesked ved at gå ind på Radiovagabond.dk og scrolle helt ned. Her er der en lille knap der hedder ”INDTAL TALEBESKED”. Du kan også, som Steven sende mig en talebesked via WhatsApp. Nummeret står også nederst på forsiden. Foretrækker du at skrive kan du udfylde formularen på Radiovagabond.dk/kontakt. Uanset hvad du gør, så vil det gøre mig meget glad. Bare fortæl mig, hvad du laver lige nu, mens du lytter til disse ord. Følg de tre babier Du kan følge med i Romaines rejser på Instagram som @TravelingTheWorldWithRomaine, David Yang er nemmest at finde på  Facebook, og så har jeg også lagt et link til Odettes bøger i notesektionen af din podcast app. Flere episoder i denne uge På søndag møder jeg endnu en af mine helte, og denne gang kender jeg ham fra YouTube kanalen Geography Now. Han kalder sig Barbs, men hans fulde navn er Paul Barbado. Hver gang, jeg er på vej til et nyt land, finder jeg hans episode fra dette land. Det giver mig lidt baggrundsviden inden jeg lander. Du kan godt begynde at glæde dig til min snak med Barbs – den kommer på søndag første juledag. Men du hører fra mig allerede på fredag i endnu et flashback. Her skal vi besøge en moské i Dubai. Og så på lørdag får du sikkert endnu et kig i min dagbog. I lørdags lavede jeg min første korte ti-minutters ”rå og uredigeret”, hvor jeg fortæller lidt om, hvad der sker i mit nomadeliv lige nu. Og det blev taget så godt imod, at det er min ambition at lave sådan en hver uge. Hvis ikke du allerede har hørt den fra i lørdags, kan du finde den i din foretrukne podcast app. Det var det. Mit navn er Palle Bo. Vi ses.

Welcome to another episode, recorded at The Extraordinary Travel Festival in Armenia two months ago. And in this one, you can meet Romaine from Jamaica, David from Taiwan, and Odette from the Philippines. They have just completed the 193 UN Nations list and were all the first in their country to do so. Romaine Welds Romaine Welds is Jamaican-born and raised, and he migrated to the US in 2007. This was, in fact, his first time flying and travelling to a foreign country. Currently, Romaine lives in San Francisco and works full-time with an American airline, which has enabled him to travel the world. As a child, Romaine loved watching National Geographic shows, where he would dream himself away to far-away places. And never in a million years did he imagine that he would one day be accomplishing the goal of having visited all the countries in the world nor becoming the first Jamaican and Caribbean to do this. His last country was Antigua & Barbuda, even though Hurricane Fiona postponed it for a few weeks. Fiona was a powerful storm that caused massive damage and disruption across the Caribbean in September 2022. She left a trail of destruction, causing widespread flooding, power outages, and infrastructure damage. And interrupted Romaine's trip to Antigua & Barbuda. By the way, if you want to hear more about Romaine's last country, I've done three episodes from there. It's episodes 130-132 in your podcast app… Find them here. David Yang Our second guest is 57-year-old, David Yang. He's from Taiwan and has worked in International Business Development in the consumer electronics, video gaming, and toys industry. He visited many countries as part of his job. He's the first Taiwanese to travel to every country in the world, but he also lives in the US. He started to work on his remaining countries around 2016 after meeting a fellow traveller who convinced him to go for them all. At the time, he had a third of the countries to go to and completed the goal in July this year. Now he's working on a new goal – to complete 300 of Travel Century Club's list, and right now, he has about 19 left. The official TCC list of countries and territories has a total of 330 as of January 2022. So, I guess that he will go for the complete list after the 300. Odette Ricasa The last “193 baby” is 77-year-old Odette Ricasa, who became the first Filipino to travel to all the countries in the world as she arrived in her last UN country, Iraq, in August 2022. She also finished visiting all seven continents back in 2015. She's an active member of the “Philippine Global Explorers” travel community, where she heads the US West Coast chapter, and also a successful artist with over one hundred paintings, a motivational speaker, a talented piano player, and an author of six travel books. Odette has been travelling a lot longer than the two gentlemen at the table. Voice message From a Listener I got a voice message from a listener, Steven Ramsey, an American who lives in Bandung, Indonesia. He tells me that he listens to The Radio Vagabond while driving around on his scooter. Thank you so much, Steven. Great to hear that I'm with you on your scooter. I hope you're not getting confused listening to an episode where I'm walking around in an area with a lot of traffic. It might make you look over your shoulder if there's the sound of a big truck or a horn in the episode. I don't want to be responsible for any accidents. So, please be safe. But it's also what I do when I'm driving around on a scooter here on Koh Lanta, Thailand, where I am right now. I just take my Bluetooth headset and stick them in my ears before putting on the helmet. I can use Google Maps to give me directions so I know where to make the right turns. Actually, I started doing this when I was in Indonesia. Not in Bandung but on Bali. And I'm sorry to say that that's the only place in Indonesia I've been to so far. I'm sure many people would say that you haven't really been to Indonesia if you've only been to Bali. It's like, I get a little bit bummed when I hear of people who have to Denmark and have only been to Copenhagen. There's so much more to see… I really want to explore more of Indonesia, and I will take you up on a visit when I do.  I was curious about how an American ended up living in Bandung, Indonesia – and not in Bali like so many other American nomads I know. It's a long story that I'm going into right now. But Bandung, Indonesia, is now on my list, so I can visit him and get that story. I enjoy hearing from you guys, so if you also want to send me a voicemail, go to TheRadioVagabond.com and scroll down to the bottom. Here you'll see a little button saying, “SEND VOICE MESSAGE”. There's also my WhatsApp number, so feel free to send me a voice message with WhatsApp – as Steven did. If you prefer to write, you can also go to the contact form on TheRadioVagabond.com/contact and write me a message there. Either way, please let me know what you're doing right now as you listen to these words. Follow the 193 Babies You can follow Romaine on Instagram as @TravelingTheWorldWithRomaine, David Yang is best found on Facebook, and I've also put a link to Odette's books in the note section of your podcast listening app. Next on The Radio Vagabond On Sunday, I get to meet another one of my heroes, and this time one that I'd been following for years. Paul Barbado, aka Barbs from Geography Now. Every time I'm going to a new place, I put on the episode he has from that country, so I get a lot of background on the place I'm going. You can start looking forward to hearing my conversation with Barbs – on Christmas Day. But you'll hear from me again already in two days in our Flashback Friday episode when we go to a mosque in Dubai. And then, maybe a new diary entry about my life right now on Saturday. Yes, I started doing a new type of episode where I speak for 10 minutes about what I'm doing right now. I did the first one on Saturday. Please find it in your podcast app. My name is Palle Bo. See you.

With her enchanting voice, Rhonda has stamped her name on the hearts of all that have witnessed her singing live. From bringing the roof down in Atlanta’s Tabernacle when she sang with Incognito’s powerhouse lead-singer Maysa Leak, to winning multiple awards in Harlem’s Apollo Theater, to the 1996 Olympic Games crowds have fallen under the powerful spell of Rhonda’s bold vocal styling. Rhonda’s talents were also experienced by listeners on the other side of the globe. Her 2007 UK “Breathe New Life” Tour was met with glowing reviews. Rhonda was also asked to compose a song for Antigua-Barbuda’s Travel and Tourism “365 Beaches”. Her boundless energy on stage enchants crowds as her voice exudes power and passion executed with precision. She hails from the Atlanta underground soul scene having performed with renowned artist India.Arie, Donnie (Motown), and is a member of the soul bossa group, Jiva. She wears her influences like an elegant gown draped with the improvisational skill and vocal acrobatics of Sarah Vaughn and Al Jarreau, and the depth and emotional effectiveness of Phyllis Hyman and Chaka Khan. http://www.indiereviewcd.com https://twitter.com/IndieRevue https://www.instagram.com/indie.review https://www.facebook.com/indie.review --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/indie-review/support
