CBS News president Wendy McMahon has stepped down from her post as tensions escalate over ongoing Paramount Global-Trump settlement talks. With the deal already under scrutiny from senators, what’s in store for Shari Redstone's Skydance merger? Kim Masters and Matt Belloni dive into this and more major media shake-up stories. Plus, Masters talks to director Matt Wolf about Pee-wee as Himself, which looks beyond the iconic character to the complicated man who created him. The two-part series draws from more than 40 hours of Wolf’s interviews with Paul Reubens, who spent much of his life guarding his privacy. The filmmaker also explains how those conversations revealed Reubens’ inner conflicts and why HBO pushed for more when it came to telling the late actor’s story.

Beijing confirmed on Wednesday that its top trade negotiator will meet with his US counterpart during a visit to Switzerland this week but issued a pointed warning: dialogue must be genuine, not a cover for continued pressure and unilateral demands.中国周三确认其高级贸易谈判代表将在本周访问瑞士期间与美方对等官员会晤，但发出明确警告：对话必须真诚务实，不能成为持续施压和单方面要求的遮羞布。In Washington, US Treasury Department Secretary Scott Bessent and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced that they will meet with their Chinese counterparts for talks.华盛顿方面，美国财政部部长斯科特·贝森特和美国贸易代表杰米森·格里尔宣布将与中方对应官员举行会谈。The conversations mark the first official public engagement between the world's two largest economies after Trump administration's decision of imposing hefty tariffs on China imports plunged the two into a trade war.这是自特朗普政府决定对中国进口商品加征高额关税使两国陷入贸易战后，全球两大经济体首次正式公开接触。In a statement issued early on Wednesday, China's Ministry of Commerce said that senior US officials have repeatedly signaled adjustments to its tariff measures and conveyed messages through multiple channels, expressing a desire to engage with China on tariffs and related issues.中国商务部周三凌晨发布的声明指出，美方高级官员已多次释放调整关税措施的讯号，并通过多种渠道传递信息，表达就关税及相关问题与中国进行磋商的意愿。"After careful evaluation of these US overtures and on the basis of fully considering global expectations, China's interests, and the appeals of US industry and consumers, China has decided to re-engage the US," a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said in the statement.“在慎重评估美方这些示好姿态，并充分考虑全球期待、中国利益以及美国业界和消费者诉求的基础上，中方决定重启与美国的接触。”中国商务部发言人在声明中表示。The statement said that Vice-Premier He Lifeng, China's lead representative on economic and trade issues, will hold talks with Bessent during his May 9-12 trip.声明指出，中国经贸问题首席代表、国务院副总理何立峰将在5月9日至12日访美期间与贝森特举行会谈。In Washington, Bessent confirmed in an interview that they would meet on Saturday and Sunday.在华盛顿，贝森特接受采访时证实双方将于周六和周日会面。But Beijing made clear that it is entering the talks with caution. "If the US wants to talk, our door is always open," a ministry spokesperson said. "But if you say one thing and do another, or even to attempt to use talks as a cover to continue coercion and extortion, China will never agree, let alone sacrifice its principled position and international fairness and justice to seek any agreement."但中方明确表示将以审慎态度开启对话。“如果美方想谈，中方的大门始终敞开，” 中国商务部发言人表示，“但如果美方说一套做一套，甚至企图以谈判为掩护继续实施胁迫勒索，中方绝不会接受，更不可能以牺牲原则立场和国际公平正义为代价来换取任何协议。”The spokesperson noted that negotiations must be grounded in "mutual respect, equal consultation and mutual benefit".发言人强调，谈判必须建立在“相互尊重、平等协商、互利共赢”的基础之上。The ministry's statement cited an old Chinese saying: "We must not only listen to what they say but also watch what they do," warning that any future agreement would depend on Washington's sincerity and actions—not just its words.声明援引中国古训“听其言，观其行”，警告未来任何协议都将取决于美方的诚意与实际行动——而非空口承诺。The statement also carries a message to other economies that are engaging with Washington. "Appeasement does not bring peace, and compromise does not earn respect," it said, adding that only by adhering to principles, fairness, and justice can one truly safeguard interests.该声明同时向其他与美方接触的经济体传递信息：“绥靖无法换取和平，妥协不能赢得尊重”，声明还说，唯有坚持原则、恪守公平正义，才能真正维护自身利益。Ahead of the planned meeting in Switzerland, Bessent said he looked forward to "productive talks".在瑞士计划举行的会晤前夕，贝森特表示期待进行“富有成效的对话”。He said the US and China had to de-escalate before they can move forward with trade negotiations.他指出，美中两国必须首先实现局势降级，才能推动贸易谈判取得进展。"My sense is that this will be about de-escalation, not about the big trade deal, but we've got to de-escalate before we can move forward," Bessent said in an interview on Fox News on Tuesday.贝森特周二接受福克斯新闻采访时强调：“我认为本次会晤重点在于缓和紧张局势而非达成重大贸易协议，但在推进谈判前我们必须要实现降级。”He also said "the current tariffs and trade barriers are unsustainable, but we don't want to decouple".他同时表示“现行关税和贸易壁垒不可持续，但我们不希望走向脱钩”。In his first 100 days in office since Jan 20, US President Donald Trump has announced sweeping tariffs, starting with a 10 percent blanket duty on all foreign-made imports.美国总统特朗普自1月20日就职以来的首个100天内，已宣布实施全面关税措施：首先对所有外国进口商品征收10%的统一关税。Dozens of countries received a 90-day pause until July, but tariffs were raised to 145 percent on products from China, which has retaliated by imposing 125 percent levies on US goods.尽管数十个国家获得了截至7月的90天暂缓期，但对华商品关税已提升至145%。作为反制，中国已对美国商品实施125%的报复性关税。Gary Hufbauer, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, said the Switzerland meeting is very important, and that "the news would be warmly welcomed by the financial markets and trading firms".华盛顿彼得森国际经济研究所高级研究员加里·赫夫鲍尔认为，此次瑞士会晤至关重要，“这一消息将受到金融市场和贸易公司的热烈欢迎”。unilateral/ˌjuːnɪˈlætrəl/adj. 单方面的;单方的hefty tariffs高额关税coercion/kəʊˈɜːʃn/n.胁迫extortion/ɪkˈstɔːʃn/勒索;敲诈de-escalation/diː ˌeskəˈleɪʃn/n.降级; 减低战争的范围或强度

Ever said, “No worries, it's fine,” when it absolutely wasn't fine? Or maybe you've pushed down your needs and shape-shifted into whoever you thought you needed to be in a particular situation. That's not kindness. That's fawning—people-pleasing's sneakier, brain-based cousin. In this episode, neuroscientist and author of Rewire, Nicole Vignola, joins me for a juicy, no-fluff convo about why we fawn, what's going on in the brain when we do it, and how to unhook from this exhausting survival pattern. Nicole shares real talk from her own relationships, where she caught herself over-functioning, then said the magic word: “Enough.” Expect science, self-awareness, and some serious permission to want more. Nicole creates a practical de-fawning practice to help you shift out of appeasement and into enoughness. We kick things off with a little warm-up game I almost edited out… but didn't. Come play enoughness ping pong with us and feel instantly more human. Tune in now. Because “fine” is officially cancelled.   Links:   Nicole Vignola's website and book. Nicole on Instagram.

Seit Adolf Hitler an der Macht ist, macht er Stimmung gegen die Tschechoslowakei und wirft ihr "Terror" gegenüber der deutschen Minderheit im Sudetenland vor. 1938 verschärft sich sein Ton, er droht mit militärischer Gewalt. Heute weiß man: Den Plan, das Sudetenland einzunehmen, hatte er schon lange. Frankreich und Großbritannien verfolgen die Entwicklung. Ihnen ist bewusst, dass Hitler auf einen Krieg in Europa zusteuert. Der britische Premier Neville Chamberlain hofft jedoch, Hitler mit einer Beschwichtigungspolitik – einem "Appeasement" – bremsen zu können. Würde man Hitler in der sogenannten "Sudetenkrise" Zugeständnisse machen, so der Gedanke, wäre ein Krieg in Europa noch zu verhindern. Zugeständnisse hieß im Klartext: Man überlässt Hitler Teile Tschechiens, eben das Sudetenland, und lässt ihn dort gewähren. Genau darüber wird am 29. September 1938 auf der Münchener Konferenz gesprochen. Hitler verhandelt dort mit Chamberlain, dem französischen Premier Edouard Daladier und dem italienischen Ministerpräsidenten, dem Faschisten Benito Mussolini. Der trifft gerade mit dem Zug ein und wird von Hitler abgeholt. Der Reporter schildert das Ereignis und verbreitet ansonsten die gewünschte Propaganda.

https://youtu.be/3XFiAQbxtgQ Podcast audio: In this episode of The Ayn Rand Institute Podcast, Ben Bayer and Agustina Vergara Cid examine the current controversy over USAID and discuss Ayn Rand's distinctive critique of the morality behind America's foreign aid. Among the topics covered: How recent revelations about USAID expose the agency's absurd, if not malicious, activities; Why Rand viewed foreign aid and its justification in the name of “the public interest” as morally corrupt; The continuing relevance of Rand's critique of the altruistic premises underlying arguments for foreign aid; How an unprincipled foreign policy has failed to protect America's interests abroad and wasted its resources; The role of foreign aid in a proper, pro-American foreign policy. Recommended in this podcast are Ayn Rand's essays “The Pull Peddlers” and “Altruism as Appeasement,” available in The Voice of Reason: Essays in Objectivist Thought.

In der Diskussion um die Hintergründe des russischen Angriffskriegs gegen die Ukraine beziehen sich viele Stimmen in Politik und Publizistik auf Willy Brandts Ostpolitik – aus teils ganz unterschiedlichen Motiven und mit verschiedenen Stoßrichtungen. Einige sehen in ihr die Ursünde, aus der alle folgenden Irrtümer der deutschen Russlandpolitik abzuleiten seien – von der Abhängigkeit von russischen Energielieferungen bis zum Appeasement gegenüber Putin. Andere wiederum wollen in ihr konkrete Handlungsanweisungen für den Friedensschluss erkennen. Gestritten wird auch darüber, ob die Politik des „Wandels durch Annäherung“ (Egon Bahr) die deutsche Einheit und die europäische Osterweiterung ermöglicht oder die Existenz der kommunistischen Diktaturen vielmehr verlängert habe. Worin die Ziele, Inhalte und Methoden von Brandts Neuer Ostpolitik tatsächlich bestanden, darüber herrscht jedoch verbreitete Unkenntnis. Der Historiker Dr. Bernd Rother blickt zurück auf die Ursprünge und Ergebnisse jener Ostpolitik und fragt auch danach, inwieweit sie als Blaupause für den Weg zu einem Ende des Krieges und für eine friedliche Zukunft für die Ukraine dienen kann. Im Anschluss an seinen Vortrag diskutiert Bernd Rother mit dem Publizisten Albrecht von Lucke.

Send us a textOn the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Inside Geneva has some big questions about the US-Russia talks this week on ending the war in Ukraine.“Is this really a peace deal or is it just a deal about money? Or is it even some kind of capitulation or a power grab?” asks Inside Geneva host Imogen Foulkes.What does US President Donald Trump want?“Do you want to just stop the war, or do you want to win it? We don't know what President Trump would consider a win. One suspects it's a win that would be purely transactional in US interests,” says Nick Cumming-Bruce, contributor for the New York Times.Who will have to make sure that peace is sustainable?“The US will take the decisions together with Russia, with Putin, but who is going to do the real work afterwards? It is Europe,” adds Gunilla von Hall, correspondent for Svenska Dagbladet. How can negotiations even take place without Ukraine?“We will never be able to talk about peace and sustainable peace as long as the Ukrainians are not involved, because the grievances will remain,” says Laurent Sierro, journalist at the Swiss News Agency Keystone-ATS. These are tough questions for the US, Europe and Ukraine. And what about the United Nations – does it have a role at all? Join us on Inside Geneva to find out.Get in touch!

Kfir Bibas who was a baby when kidnapped by Hamas and Ariel Bibas who was 4 years old when kidnapped are confirmed dead; their bodies are to be returned soon. Donald Trump posts an attack on Zelenskyy full of factual inaccuracies and Russian misinformation. Is Trump going to appease Putin and make WW3 inevitable? Is there a threat to American Democracy? If so, is it hidden "Nazis" or those openly advocating for fascism?

In 1938 wist de Engelse premier Chamberlain het zeker. Een onafhankelijk land was opgeofferd, maar de vrede was geregeld. Het lijkt alsof de geschiedenis zich herhaalt. Want het telefoongesprek tussen Trump en Poetin over Oekraïne is niets anders dan een eigentijdse vorm van appeasement, de massage-politiek waarmee Chamberlain en andere grootmachten Hitler hoopten te temmen, zo stelt Historicus Bart Funnekotter.

Liubov Velychko is a Ukrainian investigative journalist with over 15 years of experience uncovering corruption, crime, and human rights violations. She Specializes in exposing disinformation campaigns, and has conducted numerous investigations into Russian propaganda, revealing the networks behind its spread and dismantling the information operations orchestrated by Russian intelligence agencies. ---------- At relatively short notice, we're organising two events in Ukraine in the last week of January. Lviv (part 2) and Kyiv. The event we ran in August 2023 was a huge success, and had a great impact. Now our aim is even more ambitious. Two cities. Two events. Multiple panels consisting of the best experts, and all filmed in high definition for the channel. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras But it costs. Last time the overall cost was £3,500 for Live in Lviv, and we covered 80% of this through ticket sales. This time the costs are higher, and there's less opportunity to sell tickets at the available venues and studios, so I'm creating a campaign to raise £5,000 to make this trip a reality.

European winter is setting in on the battlefields in Ukraine and Russia. After almost three years of outright war, and almost four months since Ukrainian troops launched a lightning offensive into the Russian region of Kursk, there are now real doubts about how long Ukraine can continue the fight. Russian advances continue in both Kursk and in the south, and Russian missile and drone attacks are hitting Ukraine infrastructure hard. Then there is the Trump factor. The US president elect promising he would end the war 'in a day' if elected, with strategists and analysts trying to work out frantically want that means. A deal maybe, but in whose favour? What is the future for this conflict in the region? Philip Clark is joined on Nightlife by Paul Dibb AM, an Emeritus Professor at the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre at the ANU. He is also a Former Deputy Secretary of Defence and Director of the Defence Intelligence Organisation. Joined by Shashank Joshi, Defence Editor with The Economist since 2018 who has been writing on the conflict since it began.

2024-09-01 | There is no end in sight to the death and suffering that Russian is willing to unleash on Ukraine. In less than a week, 60 people have been killed by Russian strikes on Ukraine. ---------- Russian army strikes on numerous Ukrainian cities have killed dozens of civilians and left hundreds wounded. The single deadliest attack of the war to date was in the city of Poltava in central Ukraine. A Russian missile struck a military educational facility on Tuesday killed 53 people and left more than 270 injured, according to the Ukrainian Emergencies Ministry. Lviv has escaped the kind of destruction experiences by Kharkiv, Kherson and other cities. But on Wednesday the Russian World came to the western Ukrainian city of Lviv. Seven people, including a mother and her three daughters, were killed by Russian shelling and projectiles. More than 50 people were injured, with five adults in a serious condition. One of the most extraordinary and heartbreaking sights was the father of those girls, being helped from the burning building by rescuers. His face caked with dried blood, he is taken to one side, to await news of his family. He receives the worst news and his grief is palpable. How do you recover from that? What life awaits you, after losing all your bright and beautiful family in one go. What hope remains after Russian terrorism destroys your world, for no reason, out of malice and envy, greed and stupidity? ---------- Sources and recommended reading: https://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2024/09/04/no-end-in-sight-en https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-war-latest-27/ https://kyivindependent.com/death-toll-of-poltava-attack-rises/ https://kyivindependent.com/as-ukrainian-children-return-to-school-russia-launches-missiles-at-educational-facilities/ https://kyivindependent.com/she-was-the-culture-kharkiv-mourns-18-year-old-artist-killed-in-russian-attack/ https://www.kyivpost.com/opinion/38452 https://kyivindependent.com/lithuanian-fm-west-chose-to-be-caught-off-guard-by-russia/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc1zRzICjfk https://www.kyivpost.com/post/38459 https://kyivindependent.com/ukraines-deep-drone-strikes-aim-to-break-russias-war-machine-sow-discontent/ https://www.kyivpost.com/post/38440 https://kyivindependent.com/germany-orders-17-iris-t-air-defense-systems-for-ukraine-sholz-says/ ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Jonathan MS Pearce is a philosopher, author, columnist, and public speaker with an interest in writing about almost anything, from scepticism to science, politics, and morality, to the environment.
