His documentary, Mr. Nobody Against Putin, captured two years of footage from inside a provincial Russian classroom as Putin's war transformed his students into instruments of the state. The film won the 2026 Oscar for Best Documentary. Talankin joins Russian Roulette to discuss what he witnessed, the process of making the film, and what his story reveals about the depths of propaganda in Russia's education system today.  Mentioned:  Mr. Nobody Against Putin | Documentary film directed by David Borenstein and Pavel Talankin  Feedback?

Day 1,642.Today, after the CIA apparently finds a way through Russian air defences, sneaking their director into the country with the Kremlin spokesman later denying any knowledge of a US military plane landing in Moscow, and with the Vatican's Foreign Minister turning up nearby, we ask what was so interesting about Moscow yesterday. Then, after his call for elections blew up in his face, Ukraine's ousted defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov made another political gaffe by saying, much to Moscow's delight, that his country is ‘slowly losing the war'. All this while Ukraine strikes 16 targets across Russia, including oil facilities and another Wildberries warehouse. Later, we get our regular deep dive into Russian cucumbers and other economic indicators as well as a look at the latest cooling in relations between Russia and Armenia.Contributors:Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.James Kilner (Russia Analyst). @Jkjourno on X.Senior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Before they ever met, Jesus already knew Bartholomew's heart — and told him so under a fig tree. St. Bartholomew was skeptical when his friend Philip told him they'd found the Messiah — until Jesus spoke first, revealing that He'd already seen Bartholomew before Philip ever called him. Bartholomew became one of the Twelve Apostles and carried the Gospel as far as Armenia, where he was martyred for refusing to deny what he'd witnessed. "Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit." ⭐Today's challenge is just the start.  Get the free Every Day's a Feast Day calendar and walk with a new saint every single day: https://shop.catholicsprouts.com/pages/every-days-a-feast-day-follow-along  

Celebrated annually on August 24 by the Catholic Church, the Church of England, and other Western Christian traditions to honor Bartholomew the Apostle. Often identified as Nathanael from the Gospel of John, an early follower introduced to Jesus by Philip. He Preached the Gospel in regions including India, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Armenia. Tradition holds he was martyred in Armenia by being flayed alive and beheaded. He is the Patron saint of tanners, leather workers, bookbinders, and butchers. Who was Bartholomew the Apostle? Who was Nathanael the Apostle? Were they perhaps the same person? Bartholomew the Apostle also called SAINT Bartholomew by several Christian denominations was one of the original Twelve Disciples of Jesus according to the three synoptic Gospels of the New Testament. The Gospel of John refers to him as Nathanael. Let’s investigate and find out more. Ee144.

Read OnlineYou Are the Son of God!Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law, and also the prophets, Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.” But Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” John 1:45–46The name “Bartholomew” is listed in the Synoptic Gospels as one of Jesus' chosen Twelve Apostles. His name means, “son of Tolmai.”In John's Gospel, he is traditionally identified as Nathanael. It's possible that his full name was Nathanael, son of Tolmai. In John's Gospel, Andrew and John—two fishermen from Capernaum—were the first to be called by Jesus. Andrew then told his friend Philip, who subsequently told Nathanael, “We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law, and also the prophets, Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”Nathanael's immediate response was one of doubt: “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” This reflected the fact that Nazareth was a small and seemingly insignificant town at that time; moreover, the Messiah was expected to come from Bethlehem, the City of David. Neither Philip nor Nathanael knew Jesus had actually been born in Bethlehem. Yet Philip's response opened the door to a dramatic transformation in Nathanael's life: “Come and see.”Because Nathanael was open, he did go to see Jesus. When Jesus saw him approaching, He said, “Here is a true child of Israel. There is no duplicity in him.” Jesus had seen Nathanael sitting under a fig tree earlier, and upon revealing this, Nathanael responded in a way that must have surprised even himself: “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.”According to ancient tradition, after Pentecost, Nathanael evangelized in regions that included India, Armenia, and Mesopotamia, ultimately giving his life as a martyr, possibly by being flayed alive. What a change from his initial skepticism to his final act of witness! Little did Nathanael realize that the humble carpenter from Nazareth would change not only his life, but the entire world.As we honor Saint Bartholomew today, ponder the one quality Jesus attributed to him: “There is no duplicity in him.” To be without duplicity is to be sincere, honest, and transparent before God and others. It is to possess an integrity of heart that seeks the truth and responds wholeheartedly when that truth is revealed. Bartholomew's journey from skepticism to a bold profession of faith reveals the transformation that takes place in a soul open to grace. His life teaches us that God can use even our hesitation to draw us deeper into faith if we are only willing to “come and see.”In what ways do you hesitate in your response to God? Today, we do not meet Jesus for the first time, as did Bartholomew. We know Him through prayer, through the witness of the saints, and especially through the Sacred Scriptures. There are many profound and life-altering truths contained in God's Word. We are called to approach these truths as disciples ready to be transformed. Like Nathanael, we may initially struggle with doubt, indifference, or preconceived notions, but the invitation stands: “Come and see.” Jesus continues to reveal Himself to us in countless ways, if we are only open. If we approach Him with sincerity and without duplicity, He will speak to our hearts, reveal our true selves to us, and call us into deeper communion with Him.Reflect today on the witness of Saint Bartholomew's life. See in him any hesitation you may have about wholeheartedly following Christ. With him, come and see our Lord. Seek Him in prayer and in His Word. Let Him speak to your heart. Approach Him without duplicity. Be open, attentive, sincere, and honest. And when He speaks, do not hesitate to follow Him, declaring with Saint Bartholomew: “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.”My humble Lord, You did not present Yourself to Nathanael as a powerful king or a mighty military leader, but as a humble resident of Nazareth. Yet upon meeting You with an open heart, Nathanael made a life-changing profession of faith in You. Like Saint Bartholomew, may I always come to You with an open and sincere heart. And when You come to me, grant me the grace to cry out with conviction and love, “You are the Son of God!” Jesus, I trust in You.Image: St. Bartolomew the apostle in the church, by Nicola ColonnaSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life!

Craig Fuller and Julie Van de Kamp dive into the most pressing headlines and structural shifts impacting the supply chain, logistics, and transportation sectors. They discuss the escalation of organized freight fraud—including a recent raid in Armenia targeting U.S. carriers—and why the industry urgently needs coordinated law enforcement solutions like the CAUCA legislation Lakshman Achuthan, Co-Founder of the Economic Cycle Research Institute (ECRI), breaks down leading indicators signaling a potential slowdown in global industrial growth and what sticky business costs mean for freight margins. Jared Weisfeld, Chief Strategy Officer at RXO, shares why structural capacity exits and federal regulatory enforcement could pave the way for a multi-year recovery in truckload markets. Pat Dillon, CEO of Flock Freight, explains how pooling technology and shared truckload models are helping enterprise shippers optimize partial loads and reduce costs during shifting market conditions. Lainey Sibble rom Cox Automotive's Central Dispatch discusses new biometric identity verification and secure vehicle transfer technologies built to safeguard vehicle transport against bad actors.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining a strategic bet on orchestration software as national parcel carriers continue to shed unprofitable volume. Last-mile delivery technology company Burq is wagering that enterprise retailers will pay for orchestration platforms that sit above the growing bench of regional carriers and gig courier networks. With fifty-five percent of retailers now using carriers outside FedEx, UPS and the U.S. Postal Service, and alternative carriers moving two point six billion parcels last year, the last-mile delivery duopoly is rapidly eroding. Next, we discuss a messy legal battle in the air cargo sector that has officially come to an end. Miami-based charter operator Global Crossing Airlines has dismissed its thirty-million-dollar breach-of-contract lawsuit against Ascent Global Logistics and terminated their exclusive brokerage agreement. GlobalX had alleged its former investment partner failed to honor an agreement to steer air cargo business its way, and during the second quarter, the carrier's cargo revenue dropped two point nine million dollars, or about fifty percent, year over year. Finally, we explore a sophisticated international freight fraud operation as Armenian authorities busted a Yerevan-based group that posed as American carriers and converted stolen freight proceeds into crypto. Cyber police raided commercial space inside a Yerevan hotel on July twenty-third, where suspects allegedly used specialized computer equipment to gain trust from businesses arranging transportation services, then redirected shipments to different locations instead of completing intended deliveries.

This week on BETWEEN THE NOTES, Paisan Kapitan brings together two fascinating Armenian men from completely different worlds: acclaimed writer, artist, playwright and performer VAHE BERBERIAN and successful entrepreneur GEVORK “GEORGE” SUKUNYAN. Vahe opens up about growing up in Beirut, discovering that humor could be his greatest defense, his life as a storyteller, and the health crisis that changed everything. After battling cancer and undergoing 14 surgeries in five years, Vahe found an escape through writing — including the story that would eventually become LETTERS FROM ZAATAR. Then the conversation takes a very unexpected turn. Vahe is a self-proclaimed atheist who was actually raised in a deeply Christian home and, as a child, was expected to become a priest. He explains the experiences that eventually caused him to question the existence of God. Paisan, a man of strong Christian faith, respectfully challenges his perspective and shares why his own journey led him to believe exactly the opposite. It's honest. At times uncomfortable. But never disrespectful. Then Gevork “George” Sukunyan joins the conversation with an entirely different story. George came to America from Armenia at just 12 years old, left high school early and eventually turned a business that started with a single truck into a major exotic automobile transportation company moving thousands of vehicles every year. George also talks about family, entrepreneurship, The Reserve LA, his passion for giving back to the Armenian community — and why, despite all his success in business, one of his happiest places is still behind a grill cooking for the people he loves. Two completely different men. Two remarkable lives. And one conversation that goes places none of them expected. There are laughs, serious moments, disagreements, great stories and, in true BETWEEN THE NOTES fashion, Paisan closes the show by praying over both of his guests — including the atheist. This is BETWEEN THE NOTES.

Maria Snegovaya sits down with Nate Vance — a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who enlisted in the Ukrainian Armed Forces after the 2022 invasion — to discuss Ukrainian and Russian military tactics, life as an infantryman on the front lines, and the impact of Soviet legacies on military culture.   Vance spent three years with the Da Vinci Wolves, seeing action from Bakhmut to Pokrovsk, before leaving in early 2025 when his first cousin JD Vance's rise to the vice presidency made him a potential Russian target.    Mentioned:  Russian Blood and Treasure: The Ballooning Costs of Putin's War: CSIS Publication by Seth Jones and Riley McCabe      Feedback?

Daron Acemoglu returns for his second appearance with a new book, What Happened to Liberal Democracy?, which Tyler reads as an attempt to redefine and revitalize liberalism for our times. Where Daron's first visit was about how states and societies contend for the narrow corridor in which liberty survives, this one asks what liberals themselves got wrong, and the answer implicates the educated elite—that is to say, you. Tyler and Daron discuss what's wrong with social contract theories and Rousseau's general will, whether Acemoglu is more objectivist than Rorty, why he blames left liberalism's own establishment power for its collapse, what standard is left once you refuse to have a book of higher values, nondomination versus noninterference, who counts as working class, why automation alone will not lead to widespread prosperity, how he can call himself a free speech absolutist while wanting to regulate social media, why he worries we've given up on educating Americans, whether teachers' unions need to be reconstituted, what the life expectancy for an educated twenty year old is today, whether open-source models undercut the centralization worry, what pro-worker AI actually means, why the fertility crisis leaves him strangely close to a real business cycle position, whether AI will raise his own already prodigious paper output, why Armenia has disappointed economically, what he wants to learn next, and more.

Almost a year after the Washington Declaration, Armenia is trying to turn a hard-won peace with Azerbaijan into something lasting. In this conversation, Armenia's ambassador to the United States, Narek Mkrtchyan, explains what the agreement means on the ground and why the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity could reshape the region and the country's future.“We sit in a very tough neighborhood. We sit in a very interesting geography. We are at the crossroads of Europe, Middle East, Central Asia, South Caucasus,” Mkrtchyan says.Mkrtchyan describes how Armenia is trying to turn geography into strategy through the development of diplomacy, new trade routes, and international partnerships. He views this as more than a peace process—it's a chance to redefine Armenia's place in the region.“In the center is the concept of crossroads of peace,” Mkrtchyan says.Recently, Armenia also got approval for the biggest artificial intelligence factory in the region—a $4 billion project that officials say could help make the country a hub for computing power and advanced technology.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Travel broadens the mind. So the Voxtalks visits a conference, we find the most interesting research from economists just starting out, and hand three of them a microphone. Ad that is today's episode, recorded at the CEPR Paris School of Economics Policy Forum 2026.Listen to hear three findings that undercut conventional wisdom. Guido Lamarmora (University of Nottingham) argues that the usual policy prescription for developing economies that want to industrialise of raising agricultural productivity can deepen their reliance on farming rather than break it. Costanza Tomaselli (Imperial College London) studies what an energy price shock in Mexico does to employment: she finds that firms without access to credit hire rather than fire. Mushegh Tovmasyan (University of Paris-Saclay) follows Armenia after Russia was sanctioned in 2022, where trade doubled but the gains went to incumbents and their workers, not to new firms.The research behind this episode:Lamarmora, Guido. 2026. "The Food Problem in an Open Economy." Tomaselli, Costanza, and Armando Rangel Colina. 2026. "Energy Shocks, Employment Response, and Heterogeneous Credit Access." Tovmasyan, Mushegh. 2026. "Trade and Firm-Level Adjustments to Geopolitical Shifts: Evidence from Armenia." To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, Guido Lamarmora, Costanza Tomaselli, and Mushegh Tovmasyan. 2026. "The Next Generation: PSE 2026." VoxTalks Economics (podcast).About the guestsGuido Lamarmora is completing his PhD at the University of Nottingham, with research on international trade, macro development, and structural transformation. Soon you will find him at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz as a postdoc.Costanza Tomaselli is a PhD candidate at Imperial College Business School, with research spanning financial economics, industrial organisation, and energy economics.Mushegh Tovmasyan is a PhD candidate at University Paris-Saclay, RITM, with research spanning international trade, sanctions, and firm and worker outcomes, built on newly accessible Armenian administrative microdata.Research cited in this episodeThe food problem. The long-standing account of why poor countries keep so many workers in agriculture; households spend most of their income on food, and low farm productivity means many workers are needed just to feed the population. Lamarmora's point is that the standard fix, raising farm productivity or opening to trade, need not hold once you model the economy as open and put land into the picture.Land as a fixed factor. Agriculture uses land, which is fixed, as well as labour. Ignore it and a country with many workers per hectare looks unproductive when it is not. Once land is accounted for, low-income countries turn out to have relatively high agricultural productivity, which flips the conventional diagnosis.Input-output linkages. Industry is wired into the rest of the economy through supply chains, so a rise in industrial productivity or cheaper industrial imports lowers costs everywhere, including on the farm. In Lamarmora's estimates the gains from industry run roughly twice those from raising agricultural productivity.Storm Uri. The February 2021 winter storm that damaged the natural gas pipeline supplying Mexico's electricity, producing a sharp and spatially uneven jump in power prices. Tomaselli uses distance to gas-fired capacity as the source of variation to isolate the labour-market effect of an energy shock.Credit access as a shock absorber. Mexico gave firms no fiscal support after the shock, which let Tomaselli see what finance alone can do. Firms with credit did not change production or employment; they borrowed to smooth the shock. The suggestive model implication is that easing credit frictions could do the work of a blanket energy subsidy at lower cost to the public purse.Sanctions and the neutral economy. Sanctions destroy trade between the sanctioning and target countries but open opportunities for neutrals. Armenia, a landlocked transition economy with trade near 100% of GDP and Russia as its largest partner, saw trade double to triple after 2022. Tovmasyan uses Armenian customs and matched employer-employee microdata to ask whether this is new production, rerouting, or just higher prices.Incumbent-led intermediation. The trade boom was driven by existing large firms scaling up relationships and adding sanctioned goods such as electronics and machinery, not by broad new entry. Employment barely moved; gains showed up as more hours and higher wages for existing workers, which Tovmasyan reads as intermediation rents shared with labour.More VoxTalks Economics episodesPrevious next generations:Paris 25: Ali Bakhtawar, Lucie Giorgi, and Alishuba Philip discuss Lawfare, single sex schooling, and slum clearance.PSE 25: Pelin Ozgul, Deepakshi Singh, and Nathan Vieira on AI in call centres, female employment in India, and short-time work in Europe.Paris 24: Laura Arnemann, Gustavo Julio García Bernal, and Matyas Molnar tall Tim about performance-related pay, intergenerational wealth, and international exhibitions. PSE 24: Alice Chiocchetti, Yuan Hu, and Christoph Semken describe their research on profit-shifting, green tech, and the effect of changing to a greener lifestyle.Follow VoxTalks to discover more of yesterday's stars of tomorrow.

Desde Ereván se ve el Ararat casi todos los días despejados. El problema es que esa montaña, la que sale en el escudo del país, ni siquiera está en Armenia. En este episodio, José Antonio se mete de lleno en uno de los rincones menos explorados del Cáucaso: un país del tamaño de Galicia con monasterios de piedra de mil setecientos años, un volcán apagado de casi 4.100 metros y una cocina que mezcla Persia, Bizancio y Rusia en el mismo plato. Hablamos de historia, de fronteras cerradas, de por qué Armenia todavía no está en el radar de nadie y de la salida que tenemos programada para septiembre, caminando el país de norte a sur. Si te gusta la montaña y los sitios donde todavía no ha llegado todo el mundo, este es tu episodio. Más información en trekkingyaventura.com

In this episode of Tank Talks, host Matt Cohen sits down with Paul Ziadé, CEO and co-founder of North Vector Dynamics, a Calgary-based company building full-spectrum precision missile systems for Canada and its allies. A former tenured professor at the University of Calgary turned defence entrepreneur, Paul brings a deeply personal and historically literate perspective to the Canadian defence landscape. He shares his family's story of displacement from Lebanon and Armenia, and how that legacy of resilience informs his mission to build a sovereign missile capability for Canada.Paul offers a frank assessment of Canada's defence complacency, arguing that the culture of risk-aversion is “upstream of everything.” He explains why the obsession with “dual-use” investing is holding the country back, why pure-play defence innovation is critical, and how startups like his can deliver capability faster than the traditional 10-year procurement cycle. He also breaks down the massive opportunity presented by the Golden Dome NORAD modernization and why Canada must participate not just as a buyer, but as an active builder.Whether you're a defence founder navigating the Canadian ecosystem, an investor trying to understand the shift in risk capital, or a policy wonk watching the Arctic heat up, Paul Ziade delivers the kind of straight talk that cuts through the noise.From Civil War to Canadian Soil (00:01:20)* Paul's upbringing as the child of Lebanese-Armenian immigrants who fled civil war and genocide.* How his parents' appreciation for Canada's peace and rule of law instilled a deep sense of responsibility.* The household rule: “Laziness was never an option” , competitive soccer, piano, student government, and French schooling.The Kennedy Space Center Spark (00:04:00)* How a grade 10 family trip to the Kennedy Space Center “lit the fuse” for his obsession with rocketry.* Touching the Saturn V and realizing what human ingenuity could achieve.* Why he needed a strong goal to anchor his focus and drive.Academia to Entrepreneurship (00:05:38)* Why he left a tenured professorship after 10 years at the University of Calgary.* The mindset shift: moving from committee-driven, overthinking academic life to the velocity and action-mentality of startups.* How academia trained him to be a better communicator, but startup life gave him instant feedback on every decision.The North Vector Vision (00:08:53)* The mission: precision missile systems on every continent protecting allies and Canada.* Full-spectrum air defence , from low-and-slow drones to hypersonic threats.* Assembling the “Avengers” team from his university labs, including co-founders Craig (aerospace research chair) and Colin (former TA).The Supply Chain Blind Spot (00:10:36)* Canada's massive gap in energetics , from solid rocket motors to warheads, and upstream chemical synthesis (RDX, HMX, C4 propellants).* Why “vertically integrated” doesn't always mean what people think.* The need for government signals to encourage private companies to take the risk and spool up.Defence Investing: Then vs. Now (00:14:48)* In 2022, no one wanted to look at North Vector , squeamishness around defence was rampant.* The gap between the narrative and reality on the ground in Canada.* Why most Canadian investors are still obsessed with “dual-use” investing, which Paul argues is historically misguided.The Dual-Use Delusion (00:29:31)* The problem with forcing every defence tech to have a civilian application.* Historical examples: GPS (missile guidance), duct tape (waterproof ammunition sealing).* The parallel to basic science , pure math and quantum mechanics funded with no immediate application, yet yielding enormous real-world benefits.Canada vs. The U.S. (00:18:43)* Honest admission: it's easier to build defence tech south of the border.* Why North Vector chose to stay in Canada despite the friction.* Canada as a “frontier market” , a massive opportunity for those willing to build.* The debt of gratitude to the country that gave his family refuge.ACDC & The 70% Target (00:21:20)* Paul co-chairs the Alliance of Canadian Defence Companies (ACDC) , now nearly 200 members.* The goal: champion Canadian-owned, Canadian-controlled companies and advocate for fast contracts.* Holding the government accountable to the Defence Industrial Strategy (DIS) without displacing primes.In-Q-Tel & The Culture Shift (00:23:16)* What a Canadian version of In-Q-Tel would need to get right.* The critical need: give delegated authorities permission to take risks and accept failure as part of the process.* Moving money out the door faster to small, scrappy startups that could win big.The Golden Dome Opportunity (00:27:13)* Canada's lack of commitment to NORAD modernization and the Golden Dome.* The upside: a $500B–$1.2T opportunity.* Paul's proposed win-win: “Give Trump the $61B win, but ensure $40B goes to Canadian firms.”* How Canada can participate as an active builder, not just a buyer.About Paul ZiadéPaul Ziadé is the CEO and co-founder of North Vector Dynamics, a Calgary-based company building full-spectrum precision missile systems for Canada and its allies. A former tenured professor at the University of Calgary, Paul holds deep expertise in high-speed propulsion and aerodynamics, having spent over a decade in academia before pivoting to the startup world. He is also the co-chair of the Alliance of Canadian Defence Companies (ACDC) , advocating for Canadian-owned, Canadian-controlled defence firms. A first-generation Canadian with roots in Lebanon and Armenia, Paul brings a historically literate perspective to national security and the urgent need for Canada to build sovereign defence capability.Connect with Paul Ziadé on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-ziade/Visit North Vector Dynamics' website: https://www.northvectordynamics.com/Learn more about ACDC: https://www.alliancecanada.com/Connect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

The Mysterious Cave of Ancient Shoes & Georgia Tech's Imaginary Graduate This week on The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro uncover one of archaeology's most baffling discoveries: a 5,500-year-old leather shoe found inside Armenia's Areni Cave—along with hundreds of other ancient shoes, a ritual site, and the world's oldest known winery. Why were prehistoric people leaving their footwear behind? Was it practical storage, sacred ritual, or something we've yet to understand? Then, meet George P. Burdell, the fictional Georgia Tech student whose college prank became one of the longest-running hoaxes in American history. For nearly a century, this imaginary engineering student has earned degrees, joined organizations, appeared in official records, and become one of the university's most beloved alumni... without ever attending a single class. Along the way: ancient wine, sheep dung that accidentally preserved history, Sid's inexplicable shoe obsession, and a reminder that some of history's greatest mysteries—and funniest traditions—begin with the smallest, strangest ideas. In this episode: The 5,500-year-old shoe discovered in Armenia's Areni Cave Hundreds of mysterious Copper Age shoes and the theories behind them The world's oldest known winery and its possible ritual significance The incredible legend of George P.

The military stand-off between the US and Iran has escalated again after Donald Trump ordered a seven-hour bombing campaign targeting Iranian missile barracks, coastal radar sites, and naval bases. The inevitable Iranian response targeting its Gulf neighbours was met with rare daytime strikes by American forces. On today's episode of Iran: the Latest, Roland Oliphant sits down with Tim Mak and Jacqueline Cole from the Iran War Dispatches Substack to discuss the significance of what each side is hitting and how the Pentagon is adapting its tactics against asymmetric Iranian warfare. They also discuss whether Trump's brutal threat to destroy Iran's power plants and bridges will bring Tehran to the negotiating table.Plus, worrying signs that Iran is becoming more militarised and why Jackie and Tim went to Armenia to find out what ordinary Iranians think of the war.
